Why piss off your future masters? The UK is fucked and they seem perfectly fine with it. I don't get it.....
It is "common sense" for Christianity to be sidelined at the expense of Islam, a Government minister claimed on Sunday.
Hazel Blears, the Communities Secretary, defended Labour’s policy on religion after a report backed by the Church of England claimed that Muslims receive a disproportionate amount of attention.
She said it was right that more money and effort was spent on Islam than Christianity because of the threat from extremism and home-grown terrorism.
Ms Blears told BBC Radio 4’s Sunday programme: “That’s just common sense. If we’ve got an issue where we have to build resilience of young Muslim men and women to withstand an extremist message.”
She added: “We live in a secular democracy. That’s a precious thing. We don’t live in a theocracy, but we’ve always accepted that hundreds of thousands of people are motivated by faith. We live in a secular democracy but we want to recognise the role of faith.” (except for Christianity -ed.)

I have a question for this dhimmi minister; "If Islam has nothing to do with terrorism, why all the money to build resilience of young Muslim men and women to withstand an extremist message?”

Yeah well when the UK is taken over by the Muslims and we hear our bombing/beheading of the day coming from there at least they are spending money on trying to curtail the problem.

I have been thinking this for years now: why do we hear such idiocy from women in politics? Granted, there are exceptions (like Margaret Thatcher or Sue Myrick), but I sure am hearing a lot of stupidity from women politicians. A few months ago it was some Euro woman saying that they should also vote for the POTUS, etc...
It's really making me question whether women belong in politics.

Next time "Death of a Princess" is filmed in Britain, it may not be fictional, and who will the "Defender of Faiths" turn to?

"The UK is fucked and they seem perfectly fine with it."
That 'perfectly fine with it' part is what really gets me. They have serious trouble with 'homegrown' shitslamic extremists and terrorists, but to actually point a finger at the root of the problem (shitslam itself) and do something about it, is just too much to ask I guess. The only hope I have left for the UK is the BNP.
