The samizdata thread "Multiculturalism versus Security" has a large number of comments, and some are interesting. On the one side is "Verity" and a few others, and on the other are the dhimmis-in-training named Julius and a_t. Here are a few comments from Verity:

Now Robin Cook, a shining example of his ilk and too dim to hide his light under a bushel, makes it even clearer. We are now dependent on Muslim immigrants to make our society - a success by any measure for around, oh, a thousand and more years - a "successful" multiculti mess? A great Gramscian stroke...

In addition, incompetent as it is at governance, this government has a vast army of allied leftists willing to help force its agenda through. The universities, the vast teachers' union, a large number of young students, all the lefties in local government, the lefties at the head of the police service, the lefties at the head of the prisons service, and not least the BBC and all the socialist journalists - numbering, my guess, well over a million soldiers active in the cause of forcing multiculti claptrap on people who never had a chance to vote for it...

What is so attractive to Julian about this? Many lefties cleave to immigrants from less developed cultures because they are able to position themselves as broad-minded saviours. I don't want to accuse Julian because I don't know him, but he certainly fits the pattern...

However, as I said before, there is a vast army of Gramscians more than willing to do their work for them, forcing the British to accept a primitive culture which is anathema in the enlightened west. There are librarians removing books from the shelves that mention pigs; there are teachers training children to respect Eidl Fitri or whatever it's called because 'the Muslim culture has so much to teach us', intense coverage on the Bolshevik Broadcasting Corporation any time a self-appointed Muslim spokesman for a self-styled 'Muslim Council of Whatever' has something he wants to get off his chest...

So, A_t, no, the Muslims cannot, on their own talent, force Islam on anyone. But they have at least a million helpers in the public sector intent on doing it for them...

Dear old A_t, No, the public sector isn't sitting around thinking up ways to advance the notion of jihad in Britain. It is their woolly left mindset that is the Trojan horse. 'Look how tolerant I am, how appreciative of multiculti, how unthreatened I am by 'foreignness', what a mahatama I am!"

This is fine. Some people have a need to feel they are superior souls and who cares? But their basking in bright sun of their own 'tolerance' blinds them to the agenda being forwarded by Islam. They have constantly said they will conquer Europe, and this time, as they know they can't do it by the sword, they'll do it through births. Most Muslims in Britain did not come to Britain to find a new, more enlightened life. They came to continue their old, bigotted life, but with more comforts.

Islam is toweringly offended that the powerful people of the West do not embrace Islam, and they're going to try to force them to convert. They made a good start in Spain, where they blew up around 100 people and swung the election. The fact that we exist as free, independent spirits and don't acknowledge their Allah, is offensive to Islam.

Believe me, they are not seeking multiculti -- they are working towards uniculti - their culti. And every day, some public service worker - I include BBC employees and denizens as public sector workers - hands them one more tiny victory.
