Britian's Road to Dhimmitude

Britian has demonstrated why they are on the road to dhimmitude. Why is it that Muslims demand so many rights in Western countries, but grant none in theirs? However, instead of protesting the rights disparity, the British kowtow to their new Muslim masters. They've also dropped their proposal to close radical Muslim mosques. If "mainstream moderate" Muslims don't like the "radicals" and say that the "radicals" do not follow "true Islam," why would the "moderates" object to the police closing radical mosques?

Airline bans Bibles to avoid offending Muslims
Carrier to Saudi Arabia also precluding crucifixes, teddy bears
A British airline banned its staff from taking Bibles and wearing crucifixes or St. Christopher medals on flights to Saudi Arabia to avoid offending the country's Muslims. British Midland International also has told female flight attendants they must walk two paces behind male colleagues and cover themselves from head to foot in a headscarf and robe known as an abaya, the Mirror newspaper of London reported.

Airline officials, who have sparked outrage, the paper says, explain the Islamic kingdom's strict laws – enforced by religious police – prohibit public practice of Christianity and figures of animals. BMI spokesman Phil Shepherd said: "In providing air services people want, demand and use, we have an obligation to respect the customs of the destination country." An airline employee who asked not to be named told the Mirror: "It's outrageous that we must respect their beliefs but they're not prepared to respect ours." ...WND

British Government Drops Mosque-Closing Proposal

As the country passes the 6-month anniversary of the July terrorist attacks on London, the British government has dropped plans to close "extremist" mosques and other places of worship. Speaking to reporters late last month, Home Secretary Charles Clarke said that the proposed law had been shelved following advice from the police and a wide range of religious groups.The law, announced by Prime Minister Tony Blair following the July 7 bombings in London, would have allowed courts to temporarily close "places of worship" where extremist or terrorist activity was shown to be taking place....Clarke said police experts had advised that such a law wouldn't be useful and would poison relations with the Muslim community.
