A nation that once vowed to fight the enemies of civilization on the streets and in the hills is now quite literally on the run from fanatical Muslims:

British Islam has functionally defeated British Anglicanism. Schools are canceling Christmas in favor of Eid. Defending Christianity on the radio is now a firing offense. British prisoners are converting en masse to Islam either to get gang protection or because Muslims, having hijacked maximum security prisons, are forcing them to.

Everyday British institutions - those daily things that give life and color to a culture - are being gutted whenever they conflict with Muslim sensibilities. Historic pubs are being quickly altered whenever they rouse offense. Cultural staples like pork are becoming subject to discrimination lawsuits.

Meanwhile bloody Ashura flogging is now a public British ritual. There is a wave of honor killings crashing across Britain, with brothers killing their own sisters. Sharia - having been supported by a broad range of British legal officials - has now been officially incorporated into financial policy and civil law. "Moderate" British Muslim organizations are launching witchhunts against Muslims who cooperate with anti-terrorism investigators. "Moderate" British mosques are hosting 9/11 champions. The country is crawling with jihadists. British radicals even have their own airline.

Conclusion: it's over:

Islam is the fastest-growing religion in Britain: the number of Muslims has grown from 1.6 million to two million since 2000. Moreover, every major public institution has changed its policies to accommodate the demands of Islamic "community leaders". The Government, the Opposition, the police, schools, the Church of England, the BBC and now Channel 4 are all helping Muslims construct a parallel Islamic state. Early next year, the think tank Civitas will publish a survey of 100 British Muslim schools. Entitled When Worlds Collide, it will argue that some of them are pushing pupils into ghettos. Young women, in particular, are forbidden to pursue career opportunities. "Every year, an incalculable number of Muslim young women are lost to the wider world," says the report. One school website links to al-Qaeda; another directs pupils to a scholar who advocates the murder of Jews... According to Murray, "what we are seeing is the state deferring to a seventh-century Arabian tradesman as a source for secular law". He was speaking on Christmas Eve. The next day, Ahmadinejad spoke to the nation. Yesterday it was reported that Baroness Butler-Sloss, one of Britain's most senior legal figures, wants Sharia divorces to be enshrined in law. For the first time in decades, religion is moulding public life in this country; but that religion is not Christianity.

But British government officials are publicly worried that Israel's self-defense in the Gaza Strip will radicalize British Muslims. Because apparently watching your civilization collapse is less painful if it's Israel's fault. The quivering upper lip indeed.
