In the future, Britain may end up turning its back on the US
In one of Melanie Phillips' latest columns, first published in USA Today, she gives the real picture of what Britain is like:
The scariest thing about Britain is the question of if they could end up becoming a Muslim state. This is something that Jihad/Dhimmi Watch wondered early in its run, and we shouldn't underestimate them on that.
Everyone knows that Europe is a continent stuffed with craven, terror-appeasing fromages who loathe America. Britain, by contrast, led by the lion-hearted Tony Blair, is full of stalwarts who stand shoulder to shoulder with the United States in the defense of the West. Right?All this time, people seemed to think that only in France was there a problem with anti-Americanism, and overlooked the bigger, much more real picture in Europe, that in Britain, it's where the Chomskyism is at its worst. What's more, not only has much of the population of France woken up to what the real problems are surrounding terrorism, but the French are not as irrational as the British are in general.
Wrong. Fury at Prime Minister Blair for being President Bush’s “poodle” has reached such a pitch that the most successful Labor prime minister in memory is being forced out of office because of his support for U.S. policy in Iraq and Israel. Labor’s members of Parliament say his refusal to break with America by calling for an earlier cease-fire in Lebanon was the last straw. The disturbing fact is that Britain is consumed by a rampant anti-Americanism and an allied hostility toward Israel, which are driving public debate into irrationality, prejudice and appeasement.
In a Populus poll last month in The Times of London, 62% said the government should change its policy by distancing itself from the United States, being more critical of Israel and declaring a timetable for withdrawing from Iraq. An August YouGov poll in The Spectator magazine revealed that while 53% wanted a tougher anti-terrorism policy, 45% wanted to be allied more closely with the European Union than with America. Only 14% supported closer U.S. ties.
The scariest thing about Britain is the question of if they could end up becoming a Muslim state. This is something that Jihad/Dhimmi Watch wondered early in its run, and we shouldn't underestimate them on that.
