Bye-Bye Britain - Part 4

I don't know if it's because I'm an English-speaking guy, but it is rather sad watching Britain slowly flush itself down the toilet.

Here's the latest installment, which comes on the heels of the Archbishop of Canterbury saying that sharia law in England is a foregone conclusion.

"A new sharia law controversy erupted last night over Government plans to issue special "Islamic bonds" to pay for Gordon Brown's public-spending programme by raising money from the Middle East. Britain is to become the first Western nation to issue bonds approved by Muslim clerics in line with sharia law, which bans conventional loans involving interest payments as "sinful." -- Daily Mail

Many of my English buddies like to put the kibosh on my arguments by defaming the source. As in, "Ah, that's just the Daily Mail, bunch of bigots." Yet I've quoted the Daily Mail, the Guardian, The Spectator, The Times, and others in the past. How many papers do you need to quote before people say, "Huh. Maybe it isn't the racist British rags, but a fact of life."

Britain's decline is intriguing. Perhaps it is post-colonial guilt. Never before has a people been so hell bent on trashing their own traditions and culture in favor of ones from a different land, ones which they've never practiced in their lifetimes. Rome was invaded, and the Aztecs were slaughtered, but the English are exercising an amazing act of self-destruction.

The Mail goes on: "A spokesman said: "The Prime Minister is very clear that British laws must be based on British values and that religious law, while respecting other cultures, should be subservient to British criminal and civil law."

So that's how the law works? Silly me. I didn't know that religious "law" existed in Britain. I thought there was only British Common Law. Any religious laws are supposed to be "rules," practiced by the people in the religion, such as a "rule" against eating pork, not having sex before marriage, so forth.

There is no religious law subservient to the law, because there is no religious law in Britain. At least, not yet.
