Who Lost Britain?   [Mark Steyn]

Answer: The British.

Melanie Phillips has another poignant vignette of life in culturally insecure, fatalist Britannia : Genuinely courageous Muslims who wish to resist the imposition of the Saudi-promoted and profoundlynon-traditional niqab in British schools get no support from the municipal authorities. Meanwhile, British Muslims radicalized by the ideological enforcers of the jihad’s mosque network are arrested for plotting to capture a soldier on leave and behead him on camera. And the media respond with discussion showsfocusing on the usual suspects – Bush, Blair, the Palestinian “peace process”.

As Miss Phillips says:

Watch this respectful Sky News interview (via LGF) with the ranting Islamist Anjem Choudary and last night’s morally eviscerated Question Time on BBC TV to see how Britain is ever more eagerly stretching out its neck for the cultural knife.

The victim of the would-be decapitators was to be a loyal Muslim soldier of the Queen. The plan is to relocate him for his safety – in effect, to place him in a kind of witness protection program. Can they find room for the entire nation in there?
