A Message From Melanie Phillips

[indikit]

I just sent an e-mail of support to Melanie Phillips and asked her a single question. Amazingly she responded within 5 minutes and it was gone midnight on a Saturday night. The woman is super human!

Here's my question and her answer:

Melanie,
After reading your site for many months now, I have come to the conclusion that you are the only sane person left in journalism in the UK. In fact, I'm wondering if you are the only sane person left in Britain period.
Of all the questions I would love to ask you, I only have one: Since the publication of your book "Londonistan" have you seen even the remotest change in political and media attitudes toward this relentless (and seemingly subconscious) pro-Islam, western-hating fervor.


Melanie Phillips:

Thanks a lot for your kind encouragement which is hugely appreciated.

At a political level -- no movement, I'm afraid, except further in the wrong direction. Lower down, at an official level, some movement in the right direction -- not enough, but more and more people with scales rapidly falling from their eyes. On the left, considerable and growing unease under the surface about the Islamist threat to their shibboleths. Among the general population, huge concern and fury about British Islamism and its appeasement. However, both on the left and right, a continuing failure to grasp the full dimensions and nature of the Islamic jihad globally, and in particular the position of Israel.

We can only hope that sanity will prevail in time.

Huge thanks again for your support.

Best wishes

Melanie

I'm not completely sure of what she means by 'official level'. Anyone care to elaborate?

[Teddy Bear]

She's a lovely woman and very bright. Why don't you ask her what she means by 'official'?

[indikit]

I didn't want to keep bugging her LOL.

Perhaps she meant those in high powered positions that are not in politics.

[ascendinglark]

By "official level" does she mean people like judges and magistrates?

[indikit]

That is most likely it. But if our future is in their hands then we are still in BIG trouble.

I just bought "Londonistan" today and have read the first 2 chapters. Already I'm terrified, incredulous and mad as hell. The book I just finished was "An Unholy Alliance" by the fantastic ex-Marxist David Horowitz, which details the left's deliberate support of Islamic terrorism and extremism. It's all because they share something in common - hatred of America, the West and Capitalism. I would recommend reading this book. For all the left balks and protests when it's accused of being "with the terrorists" (evil right-wing rhetoric, etc), I was shocked to learn that they actually are.

It should have come as no surprise, because I'd already followed the case of Lynne Stewart, the leftist lawyer who was convicted of deliberately and knowingly smuggling out coded messages for a terrorist client of hers, who happened to be the man who masterminded the first WTC bombing in 1993. The messages were orders for his followers to break a truce and resume fighting. It is not known how many were killed because of her actions. But a left wing judge subsequently praised her virtue and her work in court, and gave her a two month sentence, a slap on the wrist, when prosecuters were (quite rightly) braying for life.

Well, she was part of the National Lawyers Guild, a front for the American Communist Party, who are big on representing terrorists and doing their level best to get them released. Lynne Stewart said in an interview that she wholeheartedly agrees with the use of violence against civilians to "smash the Capitalist system". She shares her views with legions of leftists like her in America and no doubt all over the West. Then we have the Amercian Civil Liberties Union, another Communist front, who are doing their best to make sure terrorists don't lose their right to conduct terrorist recruiting/training/funding operations within America's borders. They are also doing their best to make sure intelligence agencies can't even keep their eye on them. I hate these people every bit as much as I hate Islamic terrorists - in fact I despise them even more, because they grew up in the same civilized, privileged free society that I did and yet they don't seem to have developed any sane, rational humanist values at all. They only exist to destroy what is good.

See the metropolitan leftist intellectuals and professionals who sip lattes on sidewalk cafes, tapping away at their Macs and shoving their expensive designer frames further up their nose every 10 seconds to complete the image of smug self-righteousness (I'm so full of hate...)? Well, these are the people who, after a revolution, would quite happily take a gun and start shooting people who didn't follow the party line, these are the people who would quite happily follow orders to starve an entire region of people into submission, that sort of thing. And they are just as dangerous as the Islamic terrorists, because they're doing everything they can to prevent our countries from defending themselves against the threat. They are a true fifth column.

As I've always thought, it's the powerful middle class western elite that promote the causes of Islam fantatics that need smashing rather than the Islam fantatics themselves.

The swiftest, easiest and surest way to bring the ruling class to their knees and detour them immediately from their sanctimonious rightsist causes is to quite simply - cut off their wages. It's money that these people lust after first, way above any rightsist causes that they lust after. As is the case of the BBC and many state funded organizations in the UK, these people are making money from the rightsist causes they promote. Documentaries, news reports et al. It's in their vested interests that the causes they champion are never resolved. If they were, they'd soon abandon them in favour of a new cause.

It does make me come over with a warm glow, when I think about what would happen to the middle class elite if they achieved their goals of Islamifying the UK. They would be immediately subjugated to it's religion and all the bleating in the world about new minority causes they want to promote would be silenced swiftly and effectively.

unfortunately, the media and political elite are so blinkered, so short term in their thinking, they would never question for one minute what the true results of their crusading would bring to themselves and their own families.

Which makes me think that we're likely to be 'pushed' to the brink. My only wonder is whether our society will be able to recover and retract or be toppled, which is of course the goal of the Islamists.

As I see it, the first person to target in the UK for criticism is Prince Charles, who has made some outrageously pro-Islamic statements, as depicted in "Londonistan". When your heir-to-the-throne is siding with the terrorists, god help you all!

[indikit]

Prince Charles is just another no thinking elitist, brainwashed by political fashion. I'm sure he's never so much as thought about Muslims up until the media did the thinking for him. That's the problem here. For the most part, the first introduction the masses has to Islam is the propaganda machine of news outlets such as the BBC. Furthermore, like begging dogs, the majority of the public has realised that instantly siding with minority causes earns them the doggy drops of public approval. Daring to oppose those that oppose us, has them cowering with fear of being outcast and labelled 'a racist'. The word 'racist' is the Pavlov's bell the media use to bring EVERYONE to heel.

I have no faith in the British Populace to think for themselves, because they seem so incapable of it. Your average Brit things this rapid Islamification we are undergoing is somebody else's problem. They'd rather sit and vote contestants out of Big Brother then they would ever consider voting politicians out of office. Only a change within the media and political rulers themselves could possibly reverse the inevitable. And as Melanie points out - that just 'aint happening.

Personally, I feel that the end result will be a world war. There is no other way things can change, because the masses are being led to the slaughter like lambs.

[ascendinglark]

I don't think Prince Charlie would have taken much brainwashing. Isn't this the guy who revealed he talks to his plants to make them grow faster? Such people are highly suggestible to anything. I hear he bought some tartan paint from some door to door salesmen who knocked on Buckingham Palace one time. I bet the Queen wasn't too happy about that.

[Teddy Bear]

I have to say first that I don't envy Charlie. Even assuming that he's well aware of the real Islamist situation, what is he to say?

Considering that if the media don't support a more realistic coverage of Islamic Britain, preferring instead to mostly appease this segment of society, any major figure who goes out on his own is going to be especially castigated if only for the media to show just how 'multicultural and tolerant' they are. Look what happened to Kilroy-Silk as an example, and he's far from being a 'major' figure.

This is without the further consideration that the Royal Family would also become a target for the militants, who would justify further acts of terrorism or belligerance as a result of their 'demonization'.

Yah, he's between a rock and a hard place with this one, and I'm not sure if I was in his place, in the current climate, that I'd be able to speak my mind either, especially as the media use any excuse to tear him to bits as it is. Until such time as the masses themselves start thinking and expressing views that do encompass the reality, especially as they will be the victims of any comeback that is likely to be the result.
