Blame the establishment for the march of Islam

George Galloway has spoken out against Pegida at its march in Newcastle today.  Before I comment on this, I will draw the reader's attention to a comment by Richard Littlejohn about Muslims from this country who go abroad to fight for Islam. I agree with him when he talks about institutionalised cowardice, but he does have trouble joining the dots at times.

Pegida has been described as far-right and extremist in the national press, and George Galloway has been quoted as calling them a German Nazi group.  A Pegida spokesman has been quoted as saying that they are not anti-Islam, but rather that they are opposed to extremism.  Here are some facts.

The term far-right is so hard to define as to be almost meaningless.  The words extremist and extremism are utterly devoid of practical meaning.  Adolf Hitler was tolerant of Islam, and allowed Muslims to serve in the Waffen-SS, and so it is not clear on what basis we should regard Pegida as Nazi.  This quote is from Wikipedia:

He [Himmler] was personally fascinated by the Islamic faith and believed that Islam created fearless soldiers.  He found their ferocity preferable to the gentility of Christians and believed their martial qualities should be further developed and put to use.  He thought that Muslim men would make perfect SS soldier

I am not a supporter of Pegida, but neither am I a supporter of the cowardly and infantile British establishment.

Islam is a belief system which is founded on a book which says what The Koran says.  Instead of accepting this simple fact, however, the establishment expects us to be blind to the truth.

I will admit in defence of George Galloway that he is opposed to Britain going to war against Muslim countries.  When we have around three million Muslims in this country and at the same time we allow our armed forces to kill Muslims in other countries, then we should not be surprised if some Muslims in this country take up arms in the cause of their fellow Muslims.

Rather than admit this, however, the government continues to wage illegal wars, and continues to allow more immigration, thereby swelling the Muslim population of this country.
