You Can't Go Home Again: Islamic Extremists In Britain
British girl goes back to her hometown and finds it's been taken over by Islamic extremists:
Contrary to what she says, I'm all for judging people -- it's the practice of a person with values.
There's no freedom of speech in Islam.
Here's Anjem Choudary, the man who spoke to her at the end of the video, answering "What Is Islam?" about how he wants to "share" Sharia Law with us. Yes, we've been living in the "darkness" of civil liberties in the West.
More Choudary on how "democracy and freedom is no good for the British."
What blows my mind is the idea that these people continually tell us what they want and what they believe and a majority of people are still not hearing it. Sharia and world wide conversion are their goals and they will not stop until they reach them and the longer we live in the denial, the more energy they will have to keep fighting. Thanks for posting this.

So they are part of a free, open, and capitalist society because they like the material goods and freedoms that it provides...and then they work to destroy the very things that made the society great.
What do they think they are? Democrats?

Keep in mind that Choudary is a welfare bum:

And so are the other would-be jihadis in this video, no doubt.

"I'm all for judging people..." Me too!! You are spot-on, Amy.
I can't stand it when I hear someone who says 'I don't judge others.'
I view them as weak and uninvested in the greater good of humanity. Those who do nothing in the face of evil are just as bad, if not more, in my book. Like you, I stand up and say 'Not OK!' when I witness wrong-doing, abuse, or plain shit like behavior (especially towards a child) - and I've been F bombed for speaking up. (Like you too?)
That won't stop me. I judge based on values.

I'm no authority on Islam, but per Karen Armstrong, author of "Islam: A Short History", in God's supposed revelations to Muhammed, he and his followers were instructed to respect the Jews and Christians as believers of previous revelations by God to their prophets. The marchers in this video strike me as a group of ignorant partisans of their religion. But if one looks back in time, one realizes the same (and worse) can be said about many Christians, too.

No, you're not an authority, and apparently, neither is she. The earlier, nicey-nicey passages in the Quran are abrogated by the later ones calling for the slaughter of the infidel.

This just made my decision -- I'll get the AR-15 first. The big screen can come later.

This rabble rouser Choudary was able to get a bunch of people to join up with him, but based on my acquaitances with Muslims, I doubt Choudary & marchers are typical of Muslims living in Europe.

Do you live in this town? Is your acquaintance base really representative of the general public?
