Government health care changes the relationship between the citizen and the state, and, in fact, I think it's an assault on citizenship.

A world that becomes more Muslim becomes less everything else. First it__ Jews, already abandoning France. Then it__ homosexuals, already under siege from gay-bashing in Amsterdam, __he most tolerant city in Europe_. Then it__ uncovered women, targetted for rape in Oslo. And if you don__ any longer have any Jews or (officially) any gays or (increasingly) uncovered women, there are always just Christians in general, from Nigeria to Egypt to Pakistan. More space for Islam means less space for everything else, and in the end for you.

Her Majesty's government is engaging not merely in Orwellian Newspeak but in self-defeating Orwellian Newspeak. The broader message it sends is that ours is a weak culture so unconfident and insecure that if you bomb us and kill us our first urge is to find a way to flatter and apologize to you.

I believe Western culture -- rule of law, universal suffrage, etc. -- is preferable to Arab culture: that's why there are millions of Muslims in Scandinavia, and four Scandinavians in Syria. Follow the traffic. I support immigration, but with assimilation.
