Some commentors have taken me to task over two of my recent articles highlighting the possibility that the UK and Europe are slowly drowning under a slow but rising tide of Politically Correct Dhimmitude. Some of them seem almost desperate to believe that I and others are exaggerating, even to the point of mounting a "defense" that goes something like this (paraphrased):

"It isn't bad that Christmas references are off limits in many cities in the UK because there are still some that refer to it."

or

"It is not a trend for schools to serve halal meat without consent because there are still schools that don't do that."

      I don't find either argument compelling for fairly obvious reasons. The other major objection was that I must simply be exaggerating the situation. After all they are "firing people for wearing veils" in the UK right? Hmmm... looks like you picked a bad bad week to tackle that side of this issue:

"Mustaf Jama, a prime suspect in the fatal shooting of PC Sharon Beshenivsky, assumed his sister’s identity — wearing the niqab and using her passport — to evade supposedly stringent checks at Heathrow, according to police sources." - Times Online, UK

     Hmmm... why wasn't he required to be identified by picture ID like others were? Gee I wonder... Of course you could certainly go right back to the fatuous argument, "It isn't bad because other people are being forced to be ID'd". Maybe that will make you feel better. Thats all that counts right? Obviously the situation hasn't deteriorated even in the wake of terror attacks. Surely the UK wouldn't compromise it's security for the sake of Political Correctness? It's all the fault of bloggers like Greywar who are making up stories and exaggerating them. Yeah thats the ticket...

     For the record the US is not far behind in our own Dhimmitude and if the ACLU has anything to say about it we will pass Europe in a flash.
