Muslims who hate us can get out, says Tory
Why did the Brits re-elect Labour and Tony Blair?Muslims who hate us can get out, says Tory
MUSLIMS who resent the British way of life should leave the UK, regardless of whether they are citizens or not, a senior Conservative said last night in comments that have heightened already tense community relations. Gerald Howarth, the shadow defence minister, last night told The Scotsman that extremist Muslims who see the Iraq war as a conflict against Islam should be considered as treacherous as Soviet sympathisers during the Cold War. His remarkable claim shatters the tri-party consensus which Michael Howard, the Tory leader, sought to make with Tony Blair, the Prime Minister, and the Liberal Democrats. Mr Howarth said yesterday that he is incensed by suggestions from Jack Straw, the Foreign Secretary, that Britain is "part of the problem" in Iraq - and said that the problem in the UK lies in fanatical Muslims living within our shores. He is the first mainstream UK politician to suggest that extremist British Muslims should leave for Islamic societies. The government is looking at deporting foreign-born nationals and imprisoning British Muslims who incite or glorify terrorism.
From January 2005:
Somalis exiting Netherlands for Britain
An estimated 20,000 Dutch Somalis have left the Netherlands for Britain over the past five years, escaping a multicultural model once touted as the most enlightened in the world. Somali Muslim families are moving en masse to Leicester and Birmingham in England from the industrial cities of Tilburg and Rotterdam in the Netherlands. The exodus is linked to the anti-Muslim feeling that burst into the open with the advent of Pim Fortuyn, the populist politician who was fatally shot and whose party crushed the Dutch establishment in the 2002 elections.

Hooray Gerald Howarth!.
So how can we get this guy to replace Michael Howard, the Tory leader.
DP111: You have to have a base of some kind to make reforms. Islam has none whatsoever.
The Tories are definitely getting gung ho. Finally the British right feels safe enough to break away from Labor-lite.
DP111: I still have hope, or really believe, we will win in the end. But I have lost hope it will be done without lots of blood being shed.
