Margaret Thatcher & England's Past & Future?

The Daily Mail reported October 13, 2018, that: "Muhammad is now the most popular name for baby boys in England."
Breitbart News, April 2, 2017, published in an article "423 New Mosques, 500 Closed Churches in London," quoting The Gatestone Institute report:

"London is more Islamic than many Muslim countries put together ... 
British multi-culturalists are feeding Islamic fundamentalism ...

Londonistan, with its new 423 mosques, is built on the sad ruins of English Christianity ... Given the current trends, Christianity in England is becoming a relic, while Islam will be the religion of the future."
The London Daily Express, October 15, 2009, quoted Muslim organizer Anjem Choudary of Islam4UK:

"We have had enough of democracy and man-made law ... We will call for a complete upheaval of the British ruling system ... and demand full implementation of Shariah in Britain."
CNN reported January 26, 2018 "2017 was the worst year for acid attacks in London."
Daniel Greenfield wrote in FrontPage Magazine, August 30, 2018:

"Most of the acid attacks are taking place in East London ... the borough of Newham ... 

Newham has the second highest Muslim percentage population and the lowest native British population in London ...

The UK boasts the highest number of recorded acid attacks in the world ... because a sizable percentage of the population of that Muslim country has relocated to the cozy boroughs of London ... 

It’s clear that immigration transplanted acid attacks to the UK ... 

And ... it has an honor killing problem, a sex grooming gang problem, an FGM (Female Genital Mutilation) problem ... forced marriage ... the wages of diversity and demographic change."
Anyone with a cursory knowledge of history can see the trend taking place in England, and in most of Europe.

Western Civilization has gone from a Judeo-Christian "past," with Catholic cathedrals, Protestant Reformation and Jewish neighborhoods;

to a Secular "present" after the French Revolution, with the multi-cultural, free sex, LGBT agenda;

and now Europe is entering an Islamic "future," with "no go zones," and Mohammed being one of the most popular names for newborns.
Though it seems like ancient history, it was not that long ago that Margaret Thatcher was Prime Minister.

What would she have thought of this trend in Western Civilization?

Known as "The Iron Lady" for her stand against communism,Margaret Thatcher was born OCTOBER 13, 1925.

She became the first woman Prime Minister of the United Kingdom at a time when England's government was facing bankruptcy, rising unemployment, and conflicts with labor unions.
Margaret Thatcher successfully turned the country around by cutting social welfare programs, reducing trade union power and privatizing several industries.

On February 5, 1996, while traveling through New York City, Margaret Thatcher had an interview with Joseph A. Cannon, printed in Human Events.
Offering advice to America, Margaret Thatcher explained:

"Biblical basis affects one's whole view, attitude and outlook ...

The notion of human rights comes from the sanctity on the individual ... 

The Decalogue - Ten Commandments - are addressed to each and every person. This is the origin of our common humanity and of the sanctity of the individual.

Each one has a duty to try to carry out those commandments. You don't get that in any other political creed."
Other political creeds reject "the sanctity of the individual."

This is the case with honor-shame cultures, where one's worth and identity is only by being accepted as a member of a group, clique, online social media circle, gang, cult, tribe, ummah, or community.

Honor-shame cultures are pride-based, with a continual desire to save face.

Rejection by the group is the greatest fear, as it results in a total loss of worth, therefore members are continually under psychological and emotional pressure to conform.
A new group tactic attacking "the sanctity of the individual"was developed by a Soros-related consortium, being called "equity." 

"Equity" utilizes a communist "oppressor-victim" paradigm to portray a tolerant host culture as somehow being intolerant.

An "equity" document authored by Dr. Mohammed Kalifa, rejects the worth of "the individual" as being a feature of "Christian privilege," which should be replaced by the sharia teaching that one's worth is in belonging to the Islamic "community." 

Kalifa wrote:

"Christian privilege and White privilege ... is not only having major Christian holidays off, Sundays off, and Christian trappings in school ... (it) can encompass much more complex issues such as community vs. individual epistemologies."
Margaret Thatcher described America's unique founding on personal liberty and biblical values(Human Events, 1996):.

"It isn't merely about democracy and liberty ... It is personal liberty with personal responsibility.

Responsibility to your parents, to your children, to your God. This really binds us together in a way that nothing else does.

If you accept freedom, you've got to have principles about the responsibility. You can't do this without a biblical foundation.
... Your Founding Fathers came over with that. They came over with the doctrines of the New Testament as well as the Old.

They looked after one another, not only as a matter of necessity, but as a matter of duty to their God.

There is no other country in the world which started that way ..."
Margaret Thatcher spoke further:

"Today, people are trying democracy. But they look at it as a philosophy or political pattern, without understanding its roots.

I'm afraid democracy's fundamental religious roots are weakening.

There are some countries, fortunately, kept alive by faithful people. But even they are tending to weaken."
Regarding education, Margaret Thatcher stated:

"In the British system, children are taught Christianity. They are taught a faith in school. It is a compulsory subject.

In my day, the schools were places where children learned the great hymns which stayed them the rest of their lives. Hymns, Prayers, Bible readings. It is really all locked together.

These things pass into our bloodstreams. Even if your parents are not practicing Christians, or Jews, or what have you.

It is important that people realize that history is an enormous, great and wonderful story of the fantastic efforts of man in the face of great diversity.

By looking at history this way, you see that man never lost faith, no matter how terrible things were."
Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's views were confirmed by Prime Minister David Cameron in his Easter message, April of 2015, just days after 150 Kenyan Christians were massacred by fundamentalist Muslims:

"I think it is right and it is proper in a Christian country to celebrate this - the most important of the Christian festivals, Easter - right here in Downing Street ...

Even those of us who sometimes struggle with some parts of the message - the idea of resurrection, of a living God, of someone who's still with us - is fantastically important ...

I think there is something of a Christian fight-back going on in Britain and I think that's a thoroughly good thing ..."
Prime Minister Cameron continued:

"I think you could also see it in the very happy celebration of the 400th anniversary of the King James Bible ...

The values of the Bible, the values of Christianity are the values that we need - values of compassion, of respect, of responsibility, of tolerance ...

Across Britain, Christians don't just talk about 'loving thy neighbor', they live it out ... in faith schools, in prisons, in community groups ...

And it's for all these reasons that we should feel proud to say, 'This is a Christian country.'

Yes, we are a nation that embraces, welcomes and accepts all faiths and none but we are still a Christian country. And as a Christian country, Our responsibilities don't end there ..."
David Cameron concluded:

"We have a duty to speak out about the persecution of Christians around the world too.

It is truly shocking to know that in 2015 there are still Christians being threatened, tortured, even killed, because of their faith from Egypt to Nigeria, Libya to North Korea.

Across the Middle East, Christians have been hounded out of their homes, forced to flee from village to village, many of them forced to renounce their faith or be brutally murdered.

To all those brave Christians in Iraq and Syria who are practicing their faith, or sheltering others, we must say, 'We stand with you.'"
Margaret Thatcher stated regarding the break up of natural marriage:

"Today, I am particularly concerned about the number of marriages that break up. And about the numbers of children that are born to single mothers.

This is the greatest threat of all. Those numbers have gone up from 1950, both in your country and in mine.

For centuries before that it stayed about the same. These things did happen to single mothers, but it was only about 5% of births.

In the post-war period, mothers were provided with houses, or flats and incomes. We hoped that would help the children.

But what we have done by this is not to relieve the problem, but to multiply it. Today, 30% of children in your country and mine are born to single mothers ..."
She added:

"We also find that the criminality factor in much higher in children with single mothers, for the reason that they've never been brought up against a stable background with a supportive environment.

If there is one thing I cannot stand, it is ... cruelty or abuse of children. It is the worst crime.

It was in the New Testament that our Lord said, 'Anyone who harms these little ones shall have a millstone around his neck and sunk in the deepest sea.'"
Of the character of Prime Minister Winston Churchill, Margaret Thatcher wrote:

"Winston Churchill ... was a great traditionalist.

I remember the last time he left the House of Commons. We were rising to go to the election, and knew he would not come back to the House.

He couldn't walk unaided. He got up from his seat and two members supported him. He turned around and bowed for the last time to the speaker.
... The significance of that is that he was not only bowing to the speaker. When we bow, we are bowing because the first Parliament sat in the Palace of Westminster in a student's chapel.

The speaker's chair and the table in front were where the altar was.

And so when it became the House of Commons, you would bow also toward the altar. And of course, we have prayers every day. So he was bowing for the last time. He was a man of great faith."
Winston Churchill stated before the House of Commons, June 18, 1940:

"Upon this battle depends the survival of Christian civilization ... 

If we fail, then the whole world, including the United States, including all that we have known and cared for, will sink into the abyss of a new Dark Age made more sinister, and perhaps more protracted, by the lights of perverted science ...

Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves that, if the British Empire and its Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will still say, 'This was their finest hour.'"
Winston Churchill fought in Egypt and Sudan under the command of General Herbert Kitchener from 1897-1898. He wrote in The (Nile) River War:

"How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! ... The fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog ... 

Insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live ...

In Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property, either as a child, a wife, or a concubine ...

Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities ... but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it ... No stronger retrograde force exists in the world ...

... Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith.

It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science, the science against which it had vainly struggled, the civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome."
Regarding political attacks upon her, Margaret Thatcher stated:

"I always cheer up immensely if an attack is particularly wounding because I think, well, if they attack one personally, it means they have not a single political argument left."
Margaret Thatcher stated about Israel:

"We have to remember that the Jewish people never, ever lost their faith in the face of all the persecution and as a result have come to have their own promised land and to have Jerusalem as a capital city again."

IPT Exclusive: Jihadist's Prison Release Shows Just How Unprepared We Are

IPT Exclusive: Jihadist's Prison Release Shows Just How Unprepared We Are
- - - Brought to you by: The Investigative Project On Terrorism
Kevin James walked out of the Supermax penitentiary less than two months ago, where he was imprisoned for plotting a series of jihadist attacks against Southern California military targets and synagogues. Since then, he has repeatedly lied to those supervising him in a halfway house – lies about how many cell phones he had, about where he would go outside the house.


He already has been fired from a job for spending too much time on his phone. He posted a picture online describing himself as living "in the land of dogs and pigs. May Allah free me from it soon."
For those reasons and more, prosecutors and probation officers want a federal judge to impose additional restrictions on James while he is on probation. Those restrictions include an electronic monitor to track his movement and the power to search him, his home, and his belongings at any time without a warrant.
Those conditions were temporarily imposed on James in a Sept. 11 order signed by U.S. District Judge Cormac J. Carney. A hearing is scheduled for Oct. 7 to determine if they will be made permanent.
"Defendant's post-sentence behavior eliminates any doubt that the conditions requested are essential to protect the public and deter the defendant from engaging in any further criminal activity," Assistant U.S. Attorney Dennise Willett wrote in court papers filed Monday.
James's case represents an emerging challenge law enforcement faces as dozens of people convicted of terrorist crimes since the 9/11 attacks complete their prison sentences. Unlike sex offenders or domestic violence offenders for whom Congress has enacted specialized mandatory conditions of supervised release, there are no uniform standards for restrictions on a released terrorist during the subsequent probationary period. And there is no notice given to local communities, alerting them when a terrorist is released.
James was serving time in a California state prison for armed robbery when he formed the radical Islamic group Jam'iyyat Ul-Islam Is-Saheeh (JIS), "a Muslim extremist group who recruited others to carry out violent attacks ... [against] U.S. military locations and Jewish synagogues," Willette wrote. He designed the plot and recruited others "even while his freedoms were restricted in state custody."
In 2007, he pleaded guilty to conspiring to wage war against the United States through terrorism. Two accomplices robbed a dozen Los Angeles area gas stations to fund the attacks. Prosecutors say that James drafted a statement to be released after the first attack, saying it was "to defend and propagate traditional Islam in its purity" and warn Muslims to stay away from "[t]hose Jewish and non-Jewish supporters of an Israeli state."
He was sentenced to 16 years in prison, and received credit for time served since transferring to the federal prison system. He was able to shave more than a year off that sentence for good behavior despite at least two disciplinary episodes that led to his transfer out of a general population prison in Terre Haute to the Supermax penitentiary in Florence, Col.
In Terre Haute, James served with another convicted Islamic terrorist, John Walker Lindh. James participated in an unauthorized group activity with a cadre of Muslim inmates and refused a direct order from security staff to disband.
James said the gatherings were just "classes."
Lindh challenged the Bureau of Prisons, saying that prohibiting the meetings violated the Religious Freedom Restoration Act. A judge discounted Lindh's terrorist background and described his time in prison as having, "merited him a classification of low security."
Lindh was released in May. He also received time off of his 20-year sentence for good behavior. It is a credit that can trim up to 15 percent off the sentence of any federal felon. It is unclear whether anyone has considered re-examining that structure to take into account the unique threats posed by those convicted for plotting violence or taking up arms against this country.
In another run-in with prison authorities, James had a heated exchange with prison staff in 2012 "causing other inmates to gather around." He then argued with a security officer, asking, "who are you to tell us to be quiet?", and calling the staff "cowards" who hid behind their uniforms.
James's clear display of animosity toward authority confirms a 2003 federal government report's finding on prison radicalization and the type of inmate most susceptible to acting out violently when released.
A hearing officer found that James "created a risk to the institution security, good order, and the safety of staff, inmates, others, and/or the public safety."
He left prison for a halfway house on July 30. Since then, the brief said, James violated policies at least a dozen times. He was ticketed by the California Highway Patrol for driving without a license in a car he didn't disclose as required to the halfway house staff.
The added conditions on his release "are essential to preventing any attempts to commit similar crimes in the future and address the reemergence of any extremist views early on," the government brief said.
"The court and society have a strong interest in ensuring that defendant does not reoffend - an interest that is served by verifying that defendant is not expounding extremist propaganda to recruit others to commit terrorist acts, contacting others with extremist views to engage in terrorist acts, reviewing terrorist material that provide blueprints for criminal activity, and associating with others who are members of JIS, during his supervised release term."
One of James' co-defendants, Hammad Samana, is already out of prison. A second, Gregory Patterson, is scheduled for release in March. Co-conspirator Levar Washington, is in FCI Lewisburg, a maximum security facility in Pennsylvania, and not scheduled for release until 2030.
James "has shown he cannot be taken as his word that he will abide by the terms and conditions of his supervised release---he must be consistently monitored for compliance," the government brief said. He lies about where he intends to go; he lies when confronted about his conduct; and he lies about the underlying facts that result in his discipline."
James's case is not unique.
Every time a terrorist is released from prison, prosecutors and probation officers must ask a judge to modify the conditions of release. There is no guarantee that the district court will grant such requests.
As the number of terrorists completing their sentences increases, there also are questions whether probation officers have sufficient resources to monitor potentially violent felons like James.
Another terrorist walking free is not a comforting thought for a society that just recently honored the memory of those lost on September 11, 2001 when radical Islamic terrorists attacked us.
Until there is a viable post-release supervision program designed for terrorists, the threat will only increase.
