UK: The “Prevent” sharia law strategy flops

Telegraph Reprint.  The British government has spent millions of pounds on its “Prevent” strategy of thwarting the spread of Islamic fundamentalism in the UK. Yesterday, the Communities and Local Government Select Committee warned that the effort could be backfiring. The “Prevent” programme was set up in 2005 after the 7/7 London bombings. It aimed to stop the radicalization of British Muslims by providing a “counter-narrative” to that of Al Qaida. In practice, this inept government effort to create the “moderate Islam” so desired by guilt ridden Western liberals became a cash cow that subsidized the prosleytization of Isiam in Britain. It hasn’t stopped radical imams from speaking at mosques and universities or even at “Prevent” sponsered events. Other ethnic and religious grievance groups (Sikhs, Buddhists, Hindus, etc.) are jealously eyeing the “Prevent” programme and demanding their own share of Gordon Brown’s multicultural spoils system. As a public policy, “Prevent” couldn’t have been better designed to dissolve the collective sense of British identity and reduce the UK to a set of squabbling professional victim groups living off the taxpayer and burning with enmity toward their host society. Multiculturalism is a transition phase between the old Britain that ruled the waves and won the Second World War and the coming Islamic dystopia of the future. Britain’s liberal ruling class has lost faith in the West. They no longer have the will to defend their nation from its enemies or transmit their rich heritage to future generations. If the British people don’t cast their present leaders out of power, the UK will not survive the twenty-first century as a recognizable part of Western civilization.
