Jihad in the UK…Could It Happen Here?

British BeheadingYesterday, the British Empire was rocked by the news that one of their Brightest and Best, a British soldier, had been beheaded in the middle of London by two Muslim Terrorists.

They stabbed their victim several times, while asking unarmed witnesses to video them.

After their barbarism was complete, they shouted “Allahu Akbar” and one of them said,  while clutching his blood-soaked meat cleaver,

We swear by Almighty Allah we will never stop fighting you. The only reasons we have done this is because Muslims are dying every day.

You people will never be safe. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.

This British soldier is an eye for an eye a tooth for tooth. We apologize that women had to see this today but in our lands our women have to see the same.You people will never be safe. Remove your government. They don’t care about you.

You think David Cameron is going to get caught in the street when we start busting our guns? You think your politicians are going to die? No, it’s going to be the average guy like you – and your children.

So get rid of them – tell them to bring our troops back so we can … so you can all live in peace.

The murder happened 200 yards from The Royal Artillery Barracks in Woolwich and close to a primary school.

It took police 20 minutes to arrive…too late.

Of course, none of the witnesses were armed…thanks to the UK’s strict Gun Control Laws.

  • In 1920, Britain passed a law requiring civilians to obtain a certificate from their district police chief in order to purchase or possess any firearm except a shotgun. To obtain this certificate, a British citizen  had to pay a fee, and the chief of police had to be “satisfied” that the applicant had “good reason for requiring such a certificate” and did not pose a “danger to the public safety or to the peace.” The certificate had to specify the types and quantities of firearms and ammunition that the applicant could purchase and keep.
  • In 1968, Britain made the 1920 law stricter by requiring civilians to obtain a certificate from their district police chief in order to purchase or possess a shotgun. This law also required that firearm certificates specify the identification numbers (“if known”) of all firearms and shotguns owned by the applicant.
  • In 1997, Britain passed a law requiring civilians to surrender almost all privately owned handguns to the police. More than 162,000 handguns and 1.5 million pounds of ammunition were “compulsorily surrendered” by February 1998. Using “records of firearms held on firearms certificates,” police accounted for all but fewer than eight of all legally owned handguns in England, Scotland, and Wales.

The homicide rate in England and Wales has averaged 52% higher since the outset of the 1968 gun control law and 15% higher since the outset of the 1997 handgun ban.

So, they have an unarmed, vulnerable citizenry.

And now, thanks to years of wide open borders, they have a Muslim Population Problem.

An article titled, Britain Vs. Muslim Immigration, posted on April 21, 2011, imparts some staggering information…

By any measure, the Muslim population in Britain has skyrocketed over the past ten years. Based on official estimates, Britain’s Muslim population has grown from 1.6 million in 2001 (when the British Census first began to measure religion) to 1,870,000 in 2004, to 2,422,000 in 2008, to 2,869,000 in 2010. That is an overall increase of more than 1.2 million, according to data compiled by the British government’s Labour Force Survey (LFS), which were first published by the Times of London newspaper in January 2009, later confirmed by Hansard, the official report of debates in the British Parliament, and then updated by the Pew Research Center in September 2010.

In just two decades, the percentage of the British population born abroad has doubled to over 11%, according to the Office for National Statistics. In real terms, that amounts to nearly seven million immigrants, equal to the population of the City of London, or the equivalent of one immigrant every two minutes. This rate of inflow is 25 times higher than any previous period of immigration since the Norman Conquest of England in September 1066. Demographers forecast that at current trends, Britain’s population will exceed 70 million in less than twenty years, with almost all of that increase being driven by immigration. This would turn Britain into the most crowded country in Europe. According to a recent “Citizenship Survey,” 77% of those polled said immigration should be cut, with slightly more than half saying it should be reduced “by a lot.”

The Cross Party Group for Balanced Migration, a bi-partisan group that is attempting to protect and re-establish a sense of British national identity, has called for all parties in Britain to commit to keeping the population below 70 million. In January 2010, Cameron told the Andrew Marr Show on BBC One (here, here and here) that the population of Britain should be kept below 70 million “to relieve pressure on public services.” He made those remarks after the former Archbishop of Canterbury, Lord Carey of Clifton, called for immigration caps to protect Britain’s Christian ethos.

In other words, Britain’s Muslim population has multiplied 10 times faster than the rest of society over the past decade, while the number of Christians in the country has dropped by more than two million during the same period. Demographers expect that trend to continue. A new study titled “The Future of the Global Muslim Population” forecasts that Britain’s Muslim population will double to 5.5 million within the next 20 years.

As Britain’s Muslim population grows, British society is being transformed in ways unimaginable just a few years ago. For example, Mohammed is now the most popular name for baby boys in Britain. And the number of mosques in Britain (1,689) has grown to almost the number of Anglican churches (1,700) that have recently been closed.

That was two years ago…the Muslim Population in the UK has increased, since then.

Welcome to the United States of America…in the not too distant future.

With Obama and the rest of the Progressives pushing Gun Confiscation (Control) and “Immigration Reform” (thank you, Gang of Eight), we could very well be mired in the same “multi-cultural” situation that the Land of my Ancestors finds its stuffy liberal self in today.

The secret to America’s strength has always been our legendary status as a Melting Pot…immigrants yearning to actually become Americans, and assimilating into our culture and embracing our way of life, with a patriotic love for America rivaling those of us who are native-born.

However, in recent years, under Progressive rule, America has come to resemble the Tower of Babel, instead of The Shining City on a Hill.

We must not let our sacred land fall into the trap sprung on empires such as the Ancient Roman Empire and now, the United Kingdom.

Our foreign enemies can become our domestic enemies.

Simply by walking across a border.

    Great post KJ.

    “We must not let our sacred land fall into the trap sprung on empires such as the Ancient Roman Empire and now, the United Kingdom.”

    Indeed, and an excellent reason to avoid engaging in imperialism in the first place.

        To some extent, in a generally much less severe form. The Cultural Revolution died with him after all.

        I’m not sure what any of this has to do with imperialism though.

      2. Because, you tend to accuse the country of your birth of being imperialistic and generally running it down, while singing the praises of the Communist country in which you live. I was simply saving you the trouble and me the aggravation of your propaganda.

    As a British citizen, I am very glad not to have armed people wondering the streets thanks to strict gun laws. Like all countries, we have problems with violence, but we do not have incidents such as school shootings and mall shootings. I feel much safer knowing that, whilst I do not have a gun, neither do most people. Generally, murder with guns over here stays between ‘gangster’ types, rather than children or random people in shops or streets.

    1. Young Lady, you are very naive. Criminals do not respect society’s rules of etiquette. That is why your homicide rate , as has ours, has steadily risen. Law-abiding citizens carrying guns will not harm you. However, criminals muost assuredly will. That is why they are called “outlaws”.

        Normal people who purchase guns can go through things that cause them to use them wrongly, such as mental illnesses.
        Our police shot these men, so people who NEED guns do have them.
        I think it’s disrespectful of you to use the death of this man to promote your anti Muslim, pro gun stances. We have millions of Muslims here yes, but how many terrorist attacks? Very few. We have Muslim doctors, surgeons, engineers, researchers and even soldiers. Muslims in this country save more lives through their skills than they take with disgusting acts like that of yesterday.

        They can. These things are all actually needed for everyday life though, for purposes other than violence. Knife wounds kill less than gun shot wounds, and of course you can run from someone with a knife and often get away. People very rarely use cars as weapons. The damage you can do with a gun is far worse. If I ever have children, I won’t have to be worried about them being shot at school.

      3. In America, we hunt. We also use our firearms to protect our friends and family. Just as in that young solider’s case, the police are not standing beside you when you are attacked. Our Second Amendment to our Constitution protects our rights of private gun ownership. If one of those British citizens watching Drummer get butchered by those Muslims had been armed, Drummer would have been alive today.

        I think it has more to do with culture than availability of firearms. For example, the UK, Japan, China, Australia, New Zealand, etc., all have much more restricted gun ownership than the US and much lower homicide rates. But on the other hand there are countries like Switzerland (the one example I can think of) that also have high rates of gun ownership but low homicide rates compared to the US.

        Point being is Norway has similar handgun and rifle
        restrictions as the UK yet 180 kids were shot at a summer camp by a man using both. For every law there is a law breaker…

    It’s almost like a warped episode of the Twlight Zone. The soldier is run down by a car, stabbed and eventually beheaded — all just 200 yards from a military barracks and while people stand and watch…I guess the UK has a shortage of sticks, stones, broom handles and whatnot as well as testicular fortitude to match their shortage of firearms……
