One of the biggest criticisms that many British patriots have had of the United Kingdom Independence Party when it was headed by Nigel Farage was that it failed to properly acknowledge the threat posed to our society by Islam. The party under Mr Farage, quite rightly took steps to distance itself and its patriotism from genuinely racialist parties such as the British National Party. UKIP recognised and stated that the colour of a person’s skin was irrelevant to whether or not they would be a good citizen.

Not that it did UKIP any good, as the metroleft continued to call the party ‘racist’ even though it took effective steps to keep genuine racists away from the party. UKIP’s policy of keeping out potential neo-Nazis went far further, and was far more effective, than for example the policies of the Labour Party, who allowed a former member of the openly neo-Nazi ‘November 9^th Society’ to become a member and councillor.

However, UKIP’s efforts, laudable as they were, to stop the party being infiltrated by jackboot licking arseholes, went a little too far and ended up excluding people who were not racist, but who were merely aware of and opposed to, the ideology of Islam. But things may be changing and according to the Guido Fawkes website UKIP have announced a raft of new measures that keep their anti-racist policy but target the more negative effects of the ideology of Islam.

The Guido Fawkes site is carrying a list of measures announced by UKIP that mark a change in tack for UKIP when it comes to the ideology of Islam. Some of these measures are eminently sensible and should have been part of public policy years ago, but some may be a bit more challenging to implement and may cause constitutional or legal problems to bring in.

Below you can find the full list of proposed measures from UKIP as published on the Guido Fawkes site. As is usual policy for this blog the original text is in italics whereas this blog’s comments are in plain text:

UKIP’s new anti Islam measures are:

Ban face coverings.

Specific laws aimed at Islamic face coverings are long overdue. They are unacceptable in a free society that treats men and women as equal. Islamic face coverings are imposed by men on women for the purposes of defining them as second class citizens. Islamic face coverings should in no way be considered as comparable to the religious dress of a Christian nun or the modest clothing and wigs worn by orthodox Jewish women. Both Christian and Jewish female dress defines a certain type of adherence to their religion and more importantly religious strictures but ones that are not a threat to the rest of us. On the other hand Islamic dress, especially female dress, is more akin to a political uniform. Because of the ‘political uniform’ aspect of Islamic female dress this should have been stamped out years ago if not with new legislation then by using the 1936 Public Order Act that prohibits the wearing of political and paramilitary uniforms in public places.

Ban shariah law

Yes, without a doubt. Muslims have royally taken the piss out of the provisions granted in the various arbitration acts that allow Jews and Christians to opt for certain clearly defined and limited matters to be decided before a church consistory court or a Jewish Beit Din. Such matters are or should be confined to deciding religious status, religious divorce and marriage or such disputes between co-religionists that both parties have agreed can be brought before a religious tribunal. Unfortunately Muslims, as usual, have exploited reasonable provisions brought in for reasonable people and have pushed the envelope on arbitration. Muslims have used Islamic Shariah Courts to deny women their rights to divorce and have put pressure on women in abusive relationships to stay with their abuser. Unlike Jewish Halacha and Church Canon Law, which can exist quite happily and co-operatively with the civil law, Islamic law often strays from what is considered generally acceptable and Shariah Courts have even interfered with or impeded criminal investigations.

Make girls at risk of FGM have annual medical examinations.

Some may see this as authoritarian but the problem with FGM has got so bad now that such a policy needs to be brought in. Targeting Islam and its followers in this way is justified in order to save girls from being mutilated.

Presumption of prosecution for parents of FGM girls

Agree with this wholeheartedly. This will also prevent one parent blaming the other in an effort to avoid legal sanction. It will also help to end the scandal of Islamopandering police forces such as West Midlands Police playing the false ‘best interests of the child’ card in order to avoid bringing prosecutions.

All official documents in English alone.

This may cause problems with some of the other nations in the UK that have languages other than English and the historical remnants of other languages that are traditionally used for some government business. If I was designing this policy I would phrase it differently and say that only English, Gaelic, Cornish, Welsh and possibly Norman French (as used for some Parliamentary business) should be used. The policy of issuing documents in ‘community languages’ whether that be Urdu, Yiddish, Polish, Arabic or whatever, gets in the way of integration and assimilation. You should not be allowed to live in this country without being forced to engage with the English language.

Make Pakistani grooming a hate crime

I disagree with this idea not because I agree with Muslim Grooming Gangs but because the whole concept of ‘hate crimes’ needs to be junked, as it goes against the concept of equal justice and treating people equally provided that they are not a threat to the rest of us. It would be far better to have robust prosecution of these Islamic Rape Gangs under existing laws or treat such crimes as a form of jihadi terrorism, which in fact they are, rather than get bogged down in the murky world of ‘hate crimes’. Treating Islamic rape jihadis as hate crime offenders will only have one winner, the lawyers.

Make “honour” crimes an aggravating factor

Yes, no problem with this at all. Not only will this deal with the massive problems caused by Islamic misogyny but will also deal with problems caused by the more backward sections of Britain’s Hindu and Sikh communities who also have been implicated in such crimes.

Muslim schools taken over by DfE if found to be teaching anti-Israel sentiment

This doesn’t go far enough. Islam has proven itself to be so incompatible with British society that Muslims should not be allowed the privilidge of having religious schools, especially religious schools that are subsidised by the taxpayer. The issue of anti-Israel propaganda in Islamic schools is an issue that needs to be tackled, but it would be much less of a problem if there were no Islamic schools. After all let’s face it, it’s not the Anglican or Roman Catholic schools who are putting on lessons that say ‘kill the Jews’ or ‘destroy Israel’ it’s only the Islamics that are doing that.

Basically the way to tackle the problems of Islam is to put Muslims under legal disabilities. There is historical precedence for putting disabilities on particular religions and these stem from the period following the Reformation. After the Reformation Roman Catholicism was a political and military threat to the nation and therefore Roman Catholics were forbidden to stand for Parliament and had a whole host of other restrictions placed on them. It was only when Roman Catholicism ceased to be a threat to the country that these restrictions were slowly removed. As Islam is today’s threat, similar restrictions encompassing schooling, religious practise and participation in public life should be placed on those who follow the ideology of Islam.

Moratorium on new Islamic state schools.

This is a sensible policy. Islamic schools have proven themselves to be consistently problematical far more so than even the most isolationist of Jewish and Christian schools. The worst problems that can come out of a strict Haredi Jewish School or a school run by say the Plymouth Brethren are that they will produce people who are not that qualified to work in the secular world. However there are only a relatively tiny number of excessively strict Christian or Haredi Jewish schools like this so the problems caused to the wider society are not going to be that great. Islamic schools on the other hand are not merely turning out people who are fit only for pushing brooms, but are producing young people who want to kill or oppress the rest of us. That is a big difference between Islamic schools and the rest. I would not ban all religious schools as we should not punish those with peaceful beliefs in order to deal with the problems caused by the violent ideology of Islam.

Abolish postal voting on demand

Yes, yes and yes again. This is a policy that should have been instituted years ago. Postal voting on demand is an electoral fraud factory and should never have been allowed in the first place. Postal votes, if they are to be issued at all should only be available to members of HM Armed Forces, HMG Diplomatic staff and those who can prove via a letter from a hospital consultant (not a GP as too many of them are a bit bent) that they are unfit or unable to travel to a polling station. One of the major factors in why the Labour Party/Islam alliance has captured and held onto areas and why they have become Islamised so quickly has been the postal vote system. Islamic ‘community leaders’ and strongmen pressure Muslims, especially Muslim women into voting one particular (often for Labour) way. This ends up in a situation where because of the strength of the bent Islamic postal vote, no amount of honest voting at the polling stations can unseat Muslims or Islamopandering non Muslim councillors and Members of Parliament from their positions.

I’m really, really pleased to see UKIP waking up like this to the threat to the nation and our culture posed by the ideology of Islam and its followers. This is what many of us have wanted to see UKIP do and they are policies that many of us who are decidedly non-racist, but who are worried about the negative effect that Islam is having on Britain, have called for. I’ve no doubt that the various Left wing whiners in the Labour Party and elsewhere, along with mendacious Islamic grievance mongers such as Tell Mama, will complain about and in they are doing so already. However such entities have a vested interest in parties and individuals not looking at or dealing with the problems caused by Islam and their discomfort should be taken as a sign that these proposals are just what is needed.

These proposals are eminently sensible and it says much about the other parties and their appeasing attitude to Islam that they have not taken such steps themselves in order to protect us and our nation. A robustly negative attitude to Islam is what may turn out to be the ideal weapon for bashing the Labour party in those Northern towns and cities, where voting Conservative is considered to be ‘class treason’ but where Labour have become in all but name ‘the Islam Party’.

These policies targeting the ideology of Islam and its followers could make people much more likely to vote UKIP in areas where Labour have let down the ordinary British worker but where the Conservatives don’t stand a chance of getting elected. Well done for UKIP for being so brave and grasping the concept that Islam is a problem that needs to be tackled.
