A recent article at FrontPage Magazine describes how political correctness and fear of Muslim retaliation are deforming British culture. The British authorities have criminalized displays of national pride, surrendered to Islamic paranoia and bigotry, and sanctioned practices that undermine Western culture. The impression one gets is that, whenever there is a dispute between Britons and Muslims, the authorities regularly side with the latter.
Here are a few examples of actions that have been taken to accommodate Muslims:
* In 2006, an English city threatened to rescind the licenses of taxicab drivers who displayed the Union Jack on their cars.
* In 2005, the British government banned prison guards from wearing tie pins displaying the St. George’s cross, the flag of England.
* A pub owner was ordered to remove an English flag from her pub.
Some British schools are ceasing to teach the Holocaust in history classes because Muslims think it is a Zionist fabrication.
* British courts have effectively legalized polygamy.
* Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury, the highest office in the Anglican church, has called for sharia law to be recognized in Britain.
* Clerics have suggested changing Britain’s national saint from St. George to St. Alban on the grounds that the former, usually portrayed as a knight in armor, looks too much like a Crusader.
It’s scary reading.
