Giulio Meotti writes:
In the streets of Birmingham, in front of commercial brands to purchase, conversion to Islam is advertised.
In the city, the muezzin calls to prayer. Everywhere.
And you have to be truly blind not to see what is happening.
Churches in Birmingham are becoming mosques (the British have closed 3,500 churches in ten years, so there will be a lot of real estate supply).
In mosques, imams explain how to stone women.
And at university, Jews are no longer welcome: “Death to Zionists,” as in Iran.
If it is not yet defined a failed city, despite the rats and the stench, it surely looks a lot like one.
And in Birmingham, in 2005, there were the first immigration riots in all of Europe.
“In the working-class neighborhood of Small Heath, in the eastern part of the city, 95 percent of the population is Muslim,” Le Figaro reports. “Some shops have different closing times corresponding to daily prayers…Bookstores are religious. Travel agencies guarantee ‘Muslim friendly’ holidays ’ with destinations where ‘customers – particularly female customers – are offered access to facilities with non-mixed spaces and pools where women can swim and maintain modesty’."
Another area is Sparkhill, the Telegraph reports: “In the last remaining pub in Sparkhill, if the Guinness signs weren’t enough, the gold lettering above the door should be: ‘Licensed to sell all kinds of alcohol’. Clearly. ‘There were 23 pubs in Sparkhill and this is the last one left,’ says owner Mark McDwyer. The Salah Al-Shahrazuri Mosque is one of five in Sparkhill.”
Streets lined with shops with signs in Urdu or Arabic. Hijabs, burqas, the call to prayer echoing through neighborhoods once known for their pubs. This is cultural destruction masquerading as progress.
The end of Europe is there.
