Blair to UK Muslims:
Get with the program. Adopt our values or stay away. The multiculturalism experiment is over.*
On the British system of values, Blair says: “Conform to it; or don’t come here. We don’t want the hate-mongers, whatever their race, religion or creed.
“If you come here lawfully, we welcome you. If you are permitted to stay here permanently, you become an equal member of our community and become one of us.
“The right to be different. The duty to integrate. That is what being British means.”
Or as another great British leader once said, “We will fight them on the beaches … we will never surrender.”
Hopefully Europe, much of which historically has required the services of Britain as moral compass and last bastion, is listening.
* This phrase is the Telegraph’s interpretation. In fact, Blair says he is not dispensing with multiculturalism and it should be celebrated. He then, however, proceeds to dismantle it with a program of legally enforcing fundamental British values.

Secular Blasphemy looks to be having trouble getting it. Or maybe just doesn’t want to give up the multicultural binkie.

Blairs rebuke of migrants with hate in their hearts
I agree with Blair, especially his remarks that hate mongers of any creed are not welcome to migrate to UK. Well said. People should move to another country to improve their lives and they should contribute in meaningful ways to that country and not work to destroy it or wage war. That actually is cowardice.
Also one who moves to another society voluntarily should learn to adopt their ways even though some of those ways may be against the values they were brought up with. Such a person should first of all be flexible and liberal and be able to develop tolerance. And that person should also remember that he or she is a guest and should behave in such a way to generate goodwill from the hosts. You have gone there to improve and progress and not engage in detrimental activities.
The world is becoming smaller because of such migration and that is a good thing. Migrants should remember that it is their duty to adapt well and develop a sense of peaceful co-existence. Otherwise, unfavourable reactions will increase and divisions will become deeper, affecting the very fabric of the society and humanity. It is better to be human and contribute to humanity if not actively at least by being passive and going about your work, business and life without indulging in harmful activities..

If it gets to that, we’re going to have to ask the Brits to hand over their launch keys ;->
