UK - Muslims feel like victims. The Left feels guilty.

That should be the headline for Bakers' article in the London Times. For it's the left that feels guilty and therefore have adopted Muslims as their new victims. This, even though it means the left had to abondon their long time victims, gays, women and freedoms of religion and speech. Their new Muslim victims are more powerful and the left sees an alliance with them as a way to power in the world - even if it means and end to that world.

Baker had this to say...

To complain about unnecessary intrusions seems reasonable; to insist that profiling be carried out properly and indeed respectfully, entirely proper. But to argue, as is now common, that it is another example of harassment of and discrimination against Muslims by an increasingly aggressive and hostile State and society, is not only a bit rich. It sounds disturbing like another example of what is becoming a dangerous pathology among many Muslims — to wallow in a self-imposed and eagerly embraced status of victimhood.

This condition places the blame for every ill in their lives, in their communities, in the West and in the countries of the Middle East, on the imperialist oppression of the white man, the American and, of course, the Jew, never once stopping to consider even the possibility that their plight might be, in part at least, their own making.

Though the West is surely not blameless, either through history or today, in its treatment of Muslims, the idea that responsibility for the woes of the Islamic world these past few hundred years can be laid at somebody else’s door is escapist fantasy.



Calls for the end to multiculturalism, uncontrolled immigration coupled with the calls for racial profiling and for Muslims who want to live under Islamic laws to move to Muslim countries, are signs that "we" don't feel guilty.

Muslim victimhood is a myth spread by the left to attract Muslims to their side. Muslims wanting a louder voice at the table, are quite happy to be used this way. Islamists are happy the public are buying this myth so they can win concessions and speed up the conversion of Britain into an Islamic state. The first thing Muslim MPs did when invited to speak recently with the government, was to threaten further violence if Islamic law was not adopted in Britain.

Things are finally coming to a head and as Lord Stevens recently pointed out, this is a Muslim problem, they own it and they have to fix it.

I don't feel guilty. On the contrary, I feel like the victim.
