What Comes To Pass

Astonishing

Today, I was confronted with no fewer than 5 news stories concerning Islamist Imams being either reported, deported or vilified. My how times change.

Change for the better no less. How long has it been said by many pundits, that extremist imams preaching hate, violence and seclusion to the population is a despicable affliction on society? How many people were shouted down as being 'islamophobes' for asking important questions about these imams and their teachings?

We had many welcome these people into our country with open arms. 'Londonistan' was the city I entered when I started my degree.

Now we're almost at a point where Oriana Fallaci wouldn't be hunted down in the streets. Not that I particularly agree with her later work.

We have newspapers publishing their disgust at 'Hate Preachers' (the new buzz words) getting NHS heart transplants. I'm not bothered that the islamist imam got a heart transplant (although some readers of the Gazette might be) but like most I'm more annoyed that the heart might have gone to a needier person. Perhaps someone who contributed more to our society - like a mugger or a minor sex-offender.

All this is being done with no backlash against the moderate muslim community.

We have the targeted philosophical and legal savaging of extremist islamists within our society, leaving moderates safe from violence or vilification. Nothing more or less than what so many have been calling for, for so long.

It's a shame that it took the murder of dozens to bring it about.
