emerging Londonistan
I caught this article by Dan Rabkin called Londonistan Rising from the previously referenced Dhimmi Watch notation, here.
This letter was sent to a politician in the Jewish State: Moshe Feiglin, the head of the Jewish Leadership faction within the Likud party. He initially thought the letter was a prank, because he had no plans to visit the UK and had not applied for a visa. He was shocked to learn that the letter was indeed authentic and that Britain had become the first nation on earth that banned his presence.
“I am writing to advise you that following the London bombings in July 2005, the Home Secretary announced a list of particular activities that would normally lead to a person being excluded or deported from the UK … The list of unacceptable behaviours covers:
-writing, producing, publishing or distributing material;
-public speaking including preaching;
-running a website;
-using a position of responsibility such as a teacher, community or youth leader
To express views that:
-foment or justify terrorist violence in furtherance of particular beliefs;
-seek to provoke others to terrorist acts;
-foment other serious criminal activity or seek to provoke others to serious criminal acts;
-foster hatred which might lead to inter-community violence in the UK.
The Home Secretary has considered whether, in light of this list, you should be excluded from the United Kingdom. After careful consideration, she has personally directed that you should be excluded from the United Kingdom…”
In a complete twist of rational thought, the writer equates the London bombings with Jews. If I’m not mistaken, the London bombers were Islamists who carried signature backpacks of homicide bombers.

CCTV still, left, and a picture of Hasib Hussain released by police, right.
Three of the four bombers were British nationals of Pakistani descent from West Yorkshire
They were: Mohammad Sidique Khan, 30, of Dewsbury; Hasib Mir Hussain, 18, of Holbeck, Leeds: and Shehzad Tanweer, 22, of Beeston, Leeds
The fourth bomber was Jamaican-born Germaine Lindsay who lived in Buckinghamshire
The twisted justification anyone would use to attack Israel, or bar Israelis from entering their country when what they’re looking at are crimes committed by Islamists who yell “allahu akbar” is mind bending, and totally irrational.
In addition to the excerpt quoted above, the letter listed a few statements attributed to Mr. Feiglin as evidence of his ability to “foment and justify terrorist violence”. One of the quotes, “The Arab is not the son of the desert, but rather, its father”, pulled from one of Feiglin’s articles, was not even his at all. Ironically, Feiglin took that quote directly from the book The Desert Yesterday and Today written by none other than, British High Commissioner of Sinai, Sir Claude Jarvis in 1938. In other words, as Feiglin likes to joke, he is being barred from Britain for quoting a British official.
About whose “terrorist violence” were the Brits so worried? Did they think that after one of Feiglin’s trademark synagogue lectures, about the need for Jewish unity and the sanctity of an undivided Jerusalem, the elderly Jews in the audience would be so riled up that they would decide to blow themselves up on the Tube? Or were they more concerned about the violence of the over 2000 Islamists MI5 has under surveillance for being “actively involved in supporting al-Qaeda”?
Appeasement of radical Muslims and their leftist allies is nothing new to the British. The United Kingdom, a country that values its freedom of speech so much that it consistently lets Islamists protest chanting the vilest of expressions, has a long history of silencing Jews. Whereas Islamists in Britain are free to chant “May Allah and Osama Bin Laden bomb you!”, “Nuke, Nuke UK and USA, Blair and Bush you will pay!”, and “Europe is the cancer, Islam is the answer!”, Israeli officials are frequently denied visitors’ visas, threatened with arrest upon entry and worse.
Appeasement of radical Islamists and radical muslim organizations is going on everywhere, it seems…and will surely mean the death of the west unless we wake up from our destructive political correctness soon. What frightens me the most is the thought that a man propped by radical Islamists could one day soon become President of the United States.
Melanie Phillips has also written a book entitled Londonistan, which is available at Amazon.
A review from Amazon:
This is, in my opinion, the single most important book for Americans to read today. Phillips is a brilliant writer, and her book reads like a thriller, except that it most unfortunately contains nothing but shocking truth, not entertaining fiction.
The recent events in the U.K. are almost incomprehensible. It appears that a strong and consistent but maddenly unspoken policy of appeasement has been put into place by the elites of the U.K. It appears that Labor now believes that although Muslim voters are still a minority, they are the critical or crucial swing voters that Labor thinks it needs to win. Combine this position of Labor with the well-organized and well-funded campaign for Islamicification of Britain and you have the disaster that is Britain today.
Melanie Phillips deftly and with a surgeon’s precision describes how this diabolical state of affairs came about.
Americans date assume that they are immune from Islamification here in the U.S. It has begun to happen here from the collapse of noise control legislation in the face of Islamic demands for broadcasting the call to prayer 5 times a day, 7 days a week, to demands made for co-ed gyms to create separate exercise facilities for women, despite the fact that women only gyms already exist. This is how it started in the U.K. The slow and piecemeal establishment of sharia and the displacement of the local culture. It could happen here also. There certainly is plenty of Saudi money pumped into libraries, education and American mosques to see that it does just that.
