Well done.” Words penned by 16 year old Heshu Yones in a farewell note left to her father in 2003…who plunged a knife into her eleven times thereafter.

Open incitement to murder was given wide publicity, with impunity for the culprits: Mohammed Sidiqqi, president of the Muslim Youth Movement of Great Britain, said he would welcome an opportunity to kill the author himself. “His mind must be tormented for the rest of his life unless he asks forgiveness to almighty Allah,” said Iqbal Sacranie of the UK Action Committee on Islamic Affairs, who was subsequently made a Knight of the Realm—he is now Sir Iqbal—and who is such an enthusiastic supporter of Blair’s Racial and Religious Hatred Bill.

“War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks nothing worth a war, is worse. A man who has nothing which he cares more about than he does about his personal safety is a miserable creature who has no chance at being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.” John Stuart Mills

"It was the Muslim vote – increased by an influx of families from Kashmir, the Punjab and other parts of Birmingham – which expanded my [electoral] majority from barely 1,200 to more than 12,000." ("I took the Muslim vote for granted - but that has all changed," Roy Hattersley

"Like other contemporary distortions of the Islamic faith (including the "obligatory" wearing of the niqab and the unkempt beard for men), these cultural norms are not required by the sacred scripture of Islam. They stem from rigid and archaic theological interpretations of the reputed sayings (hadith) of the Prophet of Islam, most of which were compiled some 250 years after his death, providing sufficient opportunity for fabrication and falsification.

It is high time that British Muslims jettisoned the unthinking form of Islam championed by fanatical Wahhabism and its opportunistic followers in this country." Dr Taj Hargey, Chairman, Muslim Educational Centre of Oxford

Daniel Pipes, New York Sun, September 26, 2006. These riots are all about intimidating the West into abandoning the Enlightenment and obeying Islamic law: "No conspiracy lies behind these six rounds of inflammation and aggression, but examined in retrospect, they coalesce and form a single, prolonged campaign of intimidation, with surely more to come. The basic message – "You Westerners no longer have the privilege to say what you will about Islam, the Prophet, and the Qur'an, Islamic law rules you too" – will return again and again until Westerners either do submit or Muslims realize their effort has failed."

“The peaceable verses of the Koran are almost all earlier, dating from Mohammed’s time in Mecca, while those which advocate war and violence are almost all later, dating from after his flight to Medina. Though jihad has a variety of meanings, including a spiritual struggle against sin, Mohammed’s own example shows clearly that he frequently interpreted jihad as literal warfare and himself ordered massacre, assassination and torture. From these sources the Islamic scholars developed a detailed theology dividing the world into two parts, Dar al-Harb and Dar al-Islam, with Muslims required to change Dar al-Harb into Dar al-Islam either through warfare or da’wa (mission).”

“So the mantra ‘Islam is peace’ is almost 1,400 years out of date. It was only for about 13 years that Islam was peace and nothing but peace. From 622 onwards it became increasingly aggressive, albeit with periods of peaceful co-existence, particularly in the colonial period, when the theology of war was not dominant. For today’s radical Muslims — just as for the mediaeval jurists who developed classical Islam — it would be truer to say ‘Islam is war.’” Patrick Sookhdeo
