It takes a nation to protect the nation
Lucky Me: No Madrassas Then
After memorising the sounds of the Arabic aphabet, from the age of eight or so, I had to read a couple of lines from the Koran every day. This gradually increased to half a page, then one boring page a day. As there were no mosques or madrassas, where we lived, my mother taught me at home.
Some thirty years on, and there are mosques and madrassas sprinkled on every few streets in most towns in the North of England, for example. I see little children from the age of seven or so, the girls wearing scarfs, going there to learn the Koran, every evening after school. These children literally, have no time to think, in between school, homework and the madrassa!
As these children are growing up in such a kind of schizophrenia-inducing condition, is it not the fault of the adults occupying both halves of their world?I
In Britain, we have, for some 20 years, had the state, financially supporting Muslim schools. Even in mainstream schools, in RE lessons, no white/non-Muslim teacher have had, or has the courage to say anything approaching truthfulness about Islam and its history. This is a disastrous policy based on what? Cowardice? Conviction? The idea that those kids belong to 'their' community? Why are we so surprised when they grow up feeling that they don't belong?
So, while liberals continue to pussyfoot around, those children are being systematically indoctrinated into a binary world view of Believers and Unbelievers, Us and Them. This has led directly to the development of western nurtured Jihadists, living off the State while promulgating their message of hate.
It is a huge failure of Western educational systems and policies that a 16 year old girl leaves school and starts college wearing a veil (her mother, aunties, and even grandmother in Pakistan, do not) and when I asked her why, she answered with, with pitiful seriousness, 'Because I am so scared of burning in hell.' She had never been exposed to atheism or agnosticism or any other point of view to counterbalance the Islamic one.

Hi Shiva
Thank you for your comment. What I must point out is the responsibility of councils and state-wide policies in Britain, that have encouraged the most separatist/patriacha/misogynistl kind of elements in the Muslim section of society, to adopt things that were very often frowned on and socially not acceptable to the majority of South Asian Muslims in their communities of origin.
So for example, wearing the veil was seen as a silly affectation and there was social pressure on the the woman who married into a familly and village where no one wore the veil,,for her to stop this stupidity. I am talking about this, an actual situation, happening some 55 years ago, before the partition of India, which led to the creation of Pakistan.
Currently at the college where I teach, the white/indigenous lecturers look askance at me, when I insist that any students who choose to fast, can't have special priveleges, like handing in their work late. So it is not just the opportunistic Muslims seeking favours who are at fault, but more so, those with power, who kowtow to them.

Yes lucky you and your children (?).
What you point out here is a very frightening picture.

"It is a huge failure of Western educational systems and policies"
It's no "mistake". It is a carefully executed plan of destruction.

Muslim Terrorism Count
Mission Overview
Most Western societies are based on Secular Democracy, which itself is based on the concept that the open marketplace of ideas leads to the optimum government. Whilst that model has been very successful, it has defects. The 4 Freedoms address 4 of the principal vulnerabilities, and gives corrections to them.
At the moment, one of the main actors exploiting these defects, is Islam, so this site pays particular attention to that threat.
Islam, operating at the micro and macro levels, is unstoppable by individuals, hence: "It takes a nation to protect the nation". There is not enough time to fight all its attacks, nor to read them nor even to record them. So the members of 4F try to curate a representative subset of these events.
We need to capture this information before it is removed. The site already contains sufficient information to cover most issues, but our members add further updates when possible.
We hope that free nations will wake up to stop the threat, and force the separation of (Islamic) Church and State. This will also allow moderate Muslims to escape from their totalitarian political system.
The 4 Freedoms
These 4 freedoms are designed to close 4 vulnerabilities in Secular Democracy, by making them SP or Self-Protecting (see Hobbes's first law of nature). But Democracy also requires - in addition to the standard divisions of Executive, Legislature & Judiciary - a fourth body, Protector of the Open Society (POS), to monitor all its vulnerabilities (see also Popper).
1. SP Freedom of Speech
Any speech is allowed - except that advocating the end of these freedoms
2. SP Freedom of Election
Any party is allowed - except one advocating the end of these freedoms
3. SP Freedom from Voter Importation
Immigration is allowed - except where that changes the political demography (this is electoral fraud)
4. SP Freedom from Debt
The Central Bank is allowed to create debt - except where that debt burden can pass across a generation (25 years).
An additional Freedom from Religion is deducible if the law is applied equally to everyone:
- Religious and cultural activities are exempt from legal oversight except where they intrude into the public sphere (Res Publica)"
