| Conservatives to forcefully assimilate Muslims in UK |
| 2008-09-29 |
| (PTI) A Senior Conservative Party leader today said the party, if voted to power, would force Muslims to assimilate into the British society and would ban groups of the community even if they solely engage in political activities. Speaking at the start of Party Conference in Birmingham, David Cameron's security adviser Dame Pauline Neville-Jones said her party has "plans to force Muslims to integrate into British Society." In a deliberately populist tone, she said her party would ban Muslim groups even if they are not involved in violence or promoting violence and solely engage in political activities which are widely accepted from other communities. She also made threats against Islamic charities and announced that her party would ban sharia courts from operating in the UK, though earlier this year the Lord Chief Justice Lord Phillips has welcomed some sort of sharia based arbitration for settling disputes. Meanwhile, party leader David Cameron announced that his party has a "clear plan" to get Britain through this time of economic instability. At the conference, Cameron said that his government would legislate to protect savers' deposits up to 50,000 pounds and, in the event of a bank collapsing, get them their money back within seven days. He also disclosed his plans of giving more powers to Bank of England so that it could take over, reconstruct and administrate banks which get into difficulty. Cameron said his party would set up an "Office for Budget Responsibility" which would monitor public finances and hold the Government to account. |

| #13 Here's the new Conservative election slogan: BACK TO PAK! Probably won't do so well with the Finsbury Park mosque crowd, but the rest of the Brits will love it. Fins Park folks vote Labour anyway, so no loss there. |

| #10 There is precedent, once criminals were sent to Austrailia, why not some forgotten island that England owns, but is nowhere near "Civilization(Translation, no industry, no ships or boats they can seal, only hand tools,) they'd NEVER get a seaworthy ship built for all the infighting. |

| #9 That's a laugher. You'll never get it done. Get some rusty barges to dock. Herd their stupid asses on board and tell them they're floating back to Pakland. Yeh, and good luck, mateys, cause you assdraggers might need it. |

| #7 "...would ban groups of the community even if they solely engage in political activities." Time out. Moslems are a big problem, but this is a precedent for removing any group. Far better to wiretap and arrest on conspiracy charges. |

| #4 The most important thing the English government could do to restore national pride is to get rid of the archaic "Britain" or downright silly "United Kingdom", and properly call their country "England". If they mean "England and Scotland and Wales and Northern Ireland", then they should say so in those terms. Their flag is not the Union Flag, it is the St. George's Cross. Their language is English. Their currency is the English Pound. |

| #2 This article puts it a bit more strongly than the Conservatives did. link Unacceptable cultural practices will be challenged by a Tory government, and everyone will be expected to speak English as part of measures to "fix society", a shadow minister said today. Sayeeda Warsi, the Conservative shadow minister for community cohesion and social action, attacked the "decade of state-driven multiculturalism" under Labour, which she said had played on people's differences and sown cultural divisions at the expense of shared British values. Warsi, a Muslim, said Labour had sought "selfish political advantage" by presiding over a decade of state-driven multiculturalism, which has played on differences. She said: "It has sent out the message that we're not sharing a society, we're just cohabiting a space. It has led people to retreat into separate cultures rather than reach for a shared community... and their obsession with self-appointed community leaders and crude use of patronage politics has led to communities divided against each other, with people losing that inner instinct of what it is to be British." A Conservative government would ensure British history was taught properly "so young people know who we are as a nation", and everyone living in Britain would have to speak English, she said. Support for community groups would be given on the basis of their effectiveness, not just their faith or ethnicity. She added:" Good neighbours look out for each other. That's why we will tackle unacceptable cultural practices, not turn our backs and say it's sensitive and none of our business." A big difference from forcefully assimilating Muslims in the UK, I think. |
