ALLOWED BY COWARDLY POLITICIANS ACROSS EUROPE AND THE UK THE ACCEPTANCE OF DHIMMITUDE AND THE STANCE OF SUBMISSION.

The cultural jihadists have enjoyed disturbing success. Two events in particularâ€”the 2004 assassination in Amsterdam of Theo van Gogh in retaliation for his film about Islam's oppression of women, and the global wave of riots, murders, and vandalism that followed a Danish newspaper's 2005 publication of cartoons satirizing Mohammedâ€”have had a massive ripple effect throughout the West. Motivated variously, and doubtless sometimes simultaneously, by fear, misguided sympathy, and multicultural ideologyâ€”which teaches us to belittle our freedoms and to genuflect to non-Western cultures, however repressiveâ€”people at every level of Western society, but especially elites, have allowed concerns about what fundamentalist Muslims will feel, think, or do to influence their actions and expressions. These Westerners have begun, in other words, to internalize the strictures of sharia, and thus implicitly to accept the deferential status of dhimmisâ€”infidels living in Muslim societies.

Call it a cultural surrender. The House of War is slowlyâ€”or not so slowly, in Europe's caseâ€”being absorbed into the House of Submission.

Enough. We need to recognize that the cultural jihadists hate our freedoms because those freedoms defy sharia, which they're determined to impose on us. So far, they have been far less successful at rolling back freedom of speech and other liberties in the U.S. than in Europe, thanks in no small part to the First Amendment. Yet America is proving increasingly susceptible to their pressures.

The key question for Westerners is: Do we love our freedoms as much as they hate them? Many free people, alas, have become so accustomed to freedom, and to the comfortable position of not having to stand up for it, that they're incapable of defending it when it's imperiledâ€”or even, in many cases, of recognizing that it is imperiled. As for Muslims living in the West, surveys suggest that many of them, though not actively involved in jihad, are prepared to look on passivelyâ€”and some, approvinglyâ€”while their coreligionists drag the Western world into the House of Submission.

But we certainly can't expect them to take a stand for liberty if we don't stand up for it ourselves.

It is the statistic that dare not speak its name, though eventually it must. It has huge ramifications for the civil and political life of this country, the health of the equity markets and, most immediately, the residential property market. So don't forget you read it here first: the population of the UK is presently somewhere between 77 and 80 million.

The 2001 census, already hopelessly out of date and easy to avoid for those who find filling in forms a trifle inelegant, numbered us at a little under 59 million. But as statistics go, that one's most definitely a damned lie.

More » My sources for the above statement are good, but scared of admitting the truth for fear of incurring the wrath of Whitehall. It's like the best way of monitoring illegal drug consumption: forget the pious statements from ministers - the foolproof method is to sample our water and the effluent in it. That's easily the best way of monitoring what the nation has been consuming.

Consumption - that's the thing. Based on what we eat, one big supermarket chain reckons there are 80 million people living in the UK. The demand for food is a reliable indicator; as Sir Richard Branson says, you can have all the money in the world but you can only eat onelunch and one dinner.

The supermarket in question was privately lobbying the Competition Commission to let it grow its market share. The argu- ment, reasonably enough, was that the market was far bigger than the regulator realised, so expanding the network was fair.

I have a second, respectable, source. A major, non-commercial agricultural institution reckons there are 77 million of us in the UK. Again, its reckoning is based on what we eat.

That faint background noise you're hearing as you read this is the sound of everyone slithering off the record. Why? In political terms, standing behind these figures would be to toss a hand grenade into a vat of gasoline. People would be hounded out of a job for scaremongering.

The Office for National Statistics' figures, published last week, predict a population of 75 million by 2051. It's an honest estimate but horribly wide of the mark because number counting doesn't work effectively. If you want to know how many there are of us, ask a food firm.

If the true numbers were revealed, the Little Englanders and xenophobes would come out in force about the evils of immigration. But that's what made America great in the 19th century, and it's a driving force of our economy right now. It's also anti- inflationary.

David Buik, a money manager with broker BGC Partners, was talking of "one million Eastern Europeans unaccounted for in London" on television last week. I suspect he's right if somewhat conservative in his estimate. How many do you see working in the construction industry and waiting at tables?

And when I say "anti-inflationary", I mean they are getting rotten wages. Dignified by the term "cheap labour", the hidden hordes will do well for the services sector, among others. People are assets - to maintain and to be maintained - so we are wealthier as a nation.

All of which is reflected in strong economic demand and markets see-sawing between optimism over what we all see on the streets (that 77 million figure feels right to me) and the possibility of something nasty if the Bank of England credit-crunch prognosis is correct (to echo last week, I think next spring will be unpleasant).

As for housing, property magnates and chief executives of housing associations alike say the expanding population means serious demand for the foreseeable future, credit crunch or no. Next week, I'll look at the detail of this argument.

Sir Andrew Green on Newsnight last night took on a left leaning think tank the ethinc guy was as usual trying to say we'd all benefitted from immigration.
Sir Andrew reminded him of the recent reports adding it's not the EU immigrants causing the largest problem because most eventually will leave when their countries pick up.
The third world immigrants are the problem 70% remain here.
Also it's still 4 out of every 5 immigrants entering England are from the third world!
The government could have controlled this they chose not to.
Moaning now due to Eastern europeans returning home proves a point what do all the third world immigrants do?
THE 4 OUT OF EVERY 5 IMMIGRANTS LABOURS LIES KNOW NO BOUNDS!!
10.000 EU IMMIGRANTS THAT IS APPROX 8.000 THIRD WORLD ONES...ONLY 70% LEAVE...MILLIONS HAVE ARRIVED FROM THE EU. IGNORE THE ONE MILLION LIE.
A PLANNED DISTRUCTION OF ENGLAND THE UK AND OUR CULTURE!

The wicked vicious cult has always had bloody borders ever since it was first hallucinated in the psychotic mind of a murderous paedophile http://chromatism.net/bloodyborders/

Fifty years ago those bloody borders were far away, but now they surround every expanding terrorist ghetto in Europe, where fast-breeding Koran-crazed populations seethe with resentment towards the ‘kafirs’, and will use every opportunity to exercise their God-given right to humilate, subjugate, rape, prosititute, rob and kill the ever-retreating indigenous population http://ibloga.blogspot.com/2008/04/muslim-prisoners-in-europe.html

If you live in a leafy suburb or country town, this encroaching ethnic cleansing may not have reached you yet, but eventually it will, and it will most certainly affect your children and grandchildren, as large swathes of Britain become no-go areas.

The LibLabCon parties will not, and cannot, do anything to tackle this menace. They dare not even acknowledge that it exists, for the reasons explained at http://gatesofvienna.blogspot.com/2008/04/surrender-genocide-or-what.html

Britons, look into the faces of your children! Do you want your sons to be castrated, mutilated and tortured to death like Kriss Donald http://frontpagemagazine.com/Articles/Read.aspx?GUID=164080AB-0CF9-4706-ACAD-7D23DF3F3B4C or your daughters to be drugged, raped and prostituted by Islamic paedophile gangs http://seanbryson.com/articles/keighley_demo.html ?

Give your children hope for the future by protecting them from murderous Islamic hate.

HOPE NOT HATE - VOTE BNP !
