The capture of Tower Hamlets


People like myself who have warned for some years now about the steady Islamisation of Britain receive a torrent of scorn and abuse from the so-called custodians of our culture. Terms such as ‘scare-mongering’, exaggeration’ or ‘alarmism’ tumble out alongside the inevitable ‘Islamophobia’.

Now we can see what these cultural kamikazes are helping bring about. In the east London borough of Tower Hamlets, a man with reported links to radical Islamism, Lutfur Rahman, has been elected Mayor of the borough, giving him control of a billion-pound budget and thus the apparent installation of a platform for the progressive intimidation and silencing of British Muslims who do not want to live under sharia law, let alone the non-Muslim majority in the area.

In order to know anything about this crucial development, you have to read the Telegraph’s Andrew Gilligan who has been closely following what’s been going on in Tower Hamlets during the past year. He writes on his blog:

For the last eight months – without complaint or challenge from Mr Rahman – this blog and newspaper have laid out his close links with a group of powerful local businessmen and with a Muslim supremacist body, the Islamic Forum of Europe (IFE) – which believes, in its own words, in transforming the “very infrastructure of society, its institutions, its culture, its political order and its creed… from ignorance to Islam.” Mr Rahman has refused to deny these claims.

  1. I have been following Gilligan’s blogs on this issue for some time now and I can predict that something similar will happen in Thorncliff, an area of East York in Toronto. Thorncliff has become a largely moslem enclave and there was a moslem running for councillor from that enclave in the recent Toronto election. He lost…. this time.

  2. Please, don’t talk about Tower Hamlets, formerly Stepney, where I grew up, which was once the Jewish heart of England, where people like my both sets of grandparents came to fleeing from the ravages of the pogroms of the old Soviet bloc countries.

    A place that was multicultural before it was PC to be multicultural, where I am now told, its nigh on impossible to hear a Cockney accent anymore.

    I aw this coming on a trip ‘home’ in the 80s. The mess and filth everywhere was disgusting. Synagogues of which there were dozens, were boarded up. I now hear that one of the oldest in London has finally closed its doors.

    The area I paled on as a child now holds one of the most powerful mosques in Europe, from what I am told.

    American friends, on a tour of the Jewish East End, were attacked by Muslims and had to call for police protection.!!

  3. This is a loss for out side, but it isn’t the end of the war, all it not lost until we stop fighting, the EDL is growing and from the comments on Inspector Gadget there are a lot of lower level police and possibly some higher ranking ones who are supporting the EDL. So far this fight is still in the political arena and if the British political parties are willing to fight they can turn the captured areas around.

  4. Number of babies born to immigrant mothers doubles in a decade to one in four Last updated at 11:04 AM on 27th August 2010

    The number of babies born to immigrant mothers has doubled in a decade, official figures reveal.
    Some 24.6 per cent of children delivered in England and Wales last year were to women who were born abroad.
    There were 174,174 births to foreign mothers last year, compared to 86,456 in 1998.

    The highest figure in the UK was recorded in Newnham, east London, where more than three quarters –***** 75.5 per cent *******– of births were to immigrant mothers, according to the Office of National Statistics.

  5. If you can break the numbers down further, how many were born to Moslem parents and how many to other groups of immigrants? The raw numbers look bad but the actual number of Moslems may be lower then it looks, I know the media calls all Moslems immigrants but there are other groups of immigrants, the Hindu’s spring to mind and some of them have founded their own wing of the EDL.
