COMING SOON TO A TRENDY TOWN NEAR YOU – AT 11:48 A.M. ET:  Well, actually, I hope not.  There is a disturbing story out of Britain today that shows what political correctness can do to a society.  It can destroy its values and its standards.

Of course, there are really several Britains.  The Britain we love is the Britain of Churchill and Margaret Thatcher – strong, resolute, with a defiant spirit.  But there is another Britain, leftist, conformist, unthinking, under the mindless spell of multiculturalism.  That is the Britain we see in this story, from London's Telegraph, and it should worry us:

Police have been accused of “covering up” a campaign of abuse, threats and violence aimed at “Islamicising” an area of London.

Victims say that officers in the borough of Tower Hamlets have ignored or downplayed outbreaks of hate crime, and suppressed evidence implicating Muslims in them, because they fear being accused of racism.

We are seeing the same thing here.  We saw it after the Fort Hood shootings, when even our own Defense Department did handstands to avoid mentioning that the shooter was a committed jihadist.

The claims come as four Tower Hamlets Muslims were jailed for at least 19 years for attacking a local white teacher who gave religious studies lessons to Muslim girls.

The Sunday Telegraph has uncovered more than a dozen other cases in Tower Hamlets where both Muslims and non-Muslims have been threatened or beaten for behaviour deemed to breach fundamentalist “Islamic norms.”

One victim, Mohammed Monzur Rahman, said he was left partially blind and with a dislocated shoulder after being attacked by a mob in Cannon Street Road, Shadwell, for smoking during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan last year.

“Two guys stopped me in the street and asked me why I was smoking,” he said. “I just carried on, and before I knew another dozen guys came and jumped me. The next thing I knew, I was waking up in hospital.”

Please note, in reading the story, that Muslims are among the victims.  They often are.  More Muslims have been killed in terrorist attacks around the world than members of any other group, giving the lie to the propagandists who tell us that our "policies" lead to terrorism. 

This is a great piece of reporting, and I highly commend it to you.  We are watching Western civilization eroded, and that erosion may get worse as we avert our eyes to solve our economic problems. 

Be on guard...and learn what policies are in place in your local law-enforcement agencies.
