NATIONHOOD AND NATIONALITY
Sir Gulam Noon, a leading British Muslim and Labour donor, has recently told those Muslims who refuse to embrace British traditions to: ‘go back to whatever you regard as your home country and leave us in peace’.
Sir Gulam, further pointed out that:
Sir Gulam added:
The Tory MP, Gerald Howarth, made similar comments a month ago. In reference to the 3,000 odd Muslims who, according to the former police chief Lord Stevens, had undergone terrorist training, Mr Howarth said:
Mr Howarth’s comments provoked protests from all the usual quarters, although Sir Gulam Noon’s comments did not. One cannot imagine why.
The problem is far worse than has been previously recognised. The Home Office’s own figures reveal that 26% of British Muslims feel no loyalty to Britain; 13% defend terrorism; and 1% are either involved in or support terrorist activity here and abroad.
Given that the Muslim population is at least 1.6million, then 1% is 16,000.
It should not be the case that those who advocate, support, participate in and excuse terrorism have the option to leave, and that if they do not, then the English will just have to be killed and bombed regardless.
This is our country and we have nowhere else to go.
Those from the immigrant communities who continue to advocate, support, participate in and excuse terrorism should be deported whether they like it or not.
Sir Gulam, further pointed out that:
‘We are relative newcomers to a community with a long tradition of liberal democracy. If immigrants do not like that, the answer is simple. Get out.’
Sir Gulam added:
‘I dearly want to see Muslims in my chosen country thriving as part of an integrated, intelligent, vibrant society. That means affirming our nationality as British but our religion as Muslim. It also means escaping our ghettos and assimilating fully into society.’
The Tory MP, Gerald Howarth, made similar comments a month ago. In reference to the 3,000 odd Muslims who, according to the former police chief Lord Stevens, had undergone terrorist training, Mr Howarth said:
‘We can’t compromise with these people. Those who are brought up in this country - born, bred and educated in Britain, but despise everything we stand for, despise our values, loathe our country and do not show it any allegiance - I’m sure we are better off without them. Go and find somewhere else to live. I stand by that.
Quite clearly, we have got to try to work with this disaffected youth, but the ones for whom there is no compromise - if that’s their attitude, perhaps they should go and find another country where they would feel more at home.’
