Meanwhile, the enemy gets stronger
From Asia Times:
With the recent appointment of Ilyas Kashmiri as head of its military committee, al-Qaeda has recruited a veteran who learned his trade on the battlefields of Afghanistan and during the insurgency against India in disputed Kashmir. Ilyas also took with him his elite 313 Brigade, which al-Qaeda claims it now wants to unleash. A foiled plot in Denmark could be a prelude.
The only good side of this is that They who facilitate the global reach of Al Quaeda in order to put the fear of Muslim terrorism into western hearts,thereby gaining the justification for draconian domestic measures, may have shot themselves in the foot and the Muslims themselves most certainly gain nothing within the communities they’ve infiltrated in the west.
The attitude towards Muslim communities is hardening, as the BNP support shows. Multicultural Britain is OK as long as the communities brought in assimilate and become more British than the British, in fact. It comes down, as you know, to two things – the overall numbers of each community and the mindset.
Take the huge influx in Australia in the 50s and 60s of Italians, Greeks, Germans and Eastern Europeans. They retain their bases of first settlement and mighty fine places they are too to wine and dine but overall, they’ve assimilated and a look at the players in football teams shows how far the process has gone.
Not a problem and it broadens the mind.
This, in Britain, is a completely different thing – alien cultures attempting to create colonies within the host nation, with no thought of assimilation or adopting the heritage and mores of the host. That is just not on and key risk communities are going to need stringent monitoring and to hell with bleeding hearts on this.
The trouble is, we have a big enough job getting back our own rights and dealing with the ASBO generation before we even hope to deal with the out of control immigration issue. It needs a good man or woman at the top, one who hasn’t abandoned his/her values and heritage, not a hardliner but a sensible policy maker and one who’ll stick to his/her guns.
Where is such a leader?
If that were so, Al Quaeda would not even get past the white cliffs of Dover or the Humber.
Racism
There’s nothing more apoplexy producing than the mindless way people let the word “racist” trip of the tongue, used for anything which doesn’t seem fuzzy-dogooder to them. Does it cross their minds for one second that not wanting hostile alien elements in our society, irrespective of race, colour or creed, does not constitute “racist” but rather “clear-thinking”?
A society which refuses to defend itself is a society on the road to serious internal problems.

I don’t think it gets much mention, but the situation in Pakistan is just about at boiling point.
India is running war simulation games vs Paki.
Ditto China vs India
Ditto Paki vs gawd knows who…
New “Pres” of Afghan, (english slang for what?) is ex tribal war lord, guns and drugs, recruited and trained years ago by CIA, so you understand resentment by religious fanatics, and why opium prodn is good, and why the Sh*t is hitting the fan, and recruitment is healthy.
It’s called the great game. Or oil and Gas pipe lines and minerals. Bugger all to do with freedom, democracy, or any of that crap.
Chinese are building roads and schools. We kill folks.
The west appears with guns, bombs, drones, gunships, and calls them peace keepers.
The local rise up in eventual armed protest, and we call them insurgents.
Go figure!
The US has built many bases in Afghan, to threaten China, Iran etc, etc.
Is there any wonder that religious militancy is spreading, its their only recourse.
And our young brave warriors are dying. For What?
Absent centuries of pokes in the eye, these guys would never have even heard of us.
Maybe I just get tired of western bullshit!
Many enemies round every corner, in your own backyard
True.
