Anyone observing the UK this month will be struck by the absolute supineness with which Prime Minister Keir Starmer and other politicians have fallen over themselves to salute Ramadan and accentuate the “contributions” Islam has made to British society. One thing is for certain: they show themselves apt candidates for future dhimmitude.

For a country that not so long ago envisioned the Spanish Armada as the epitome of foreign tyranny, its historical amnesia about the Battle of Tours of 732, the Spanish Reconquista, and the Battle of Vienna of 1683 is stunning. But perhaps the Muslims never thought before of seizing the British Isles; Ramadan notwithstanding they do have better taste in cuisine.

What was most galling, however, was a resurfaced video (see here) of King Charles quoting the Koran and joining the march. It would be nice to know how often His Majesty, who — after all — swore to be “Supreme Head” of a “church” his ancestors invented so that they could put away their wives (a tradition to which the incumbent has proven himself noble heir), reminded British Christians of Lent, of the importance of fasting, of the necessity of preparing for Easter, and of the need to be “strong in their faith” these 40 days.

Another video (here) surfaced of Charles and Camilla packing dates for Muslims to eat at the end of the daylight fast during Ramadan. I hope they’re grown in Israel; Islamists have cost innocent Israelis much displacement and loss across these past 17 months of fighting Hamas and Hezbollah, and Israeli fruit is part of the anti-Israel boycott and divestment strategy. But I have to ask: Does His Royal Highness also do fish fries, to show Lenten solidarity with his Catholic subjects? (I don’t know how fast-focused the “Church of England” is; most Protestants rejected Friday abstinence. For example, the Bernese Swiss “Reformers” first demonstrated their convictions by having a wurst party on a Lenten Friday). After all, fish-and-chips is a British specialty. Or is he only “defender of faiths” other than Christianity?

Elsewhere in England, a British nurse, Jennifer Melle, is in the middle of a lawsuit for refusing to call a transgender convicted pedophile “she.” Her local National Health Service trust wants to terminate her. Its lawyers insist the Christian belief she holds, that people are born male or female, is “not worthy of respect in a democratic society.” Dissenting in Obergefell, Justice Alito foresaw in America in 2015 this ineluctable outcome: “I assume that those who cling to old beliefs will be able to whisper their thoughts in the recesses of their homes, but if they repeat those views in public, they will risk being labeled as bigots and treated as such by governments, employers, and schools.”

In Scotland, a grandmother silently carrying a placard offering to talk to women on the way into an abortion clinic — who would only approach her if they chose to talk — is under indictment. Such vestiges of Britain’s cultural Christianity are the “threat” to “Cool Britain.” (Census 2021 showed for the first time that less than a majority of people in the UK call themselves “Christians.” That sound you hear is St. Augustine of Canterbury and St. Patrick rolling in their graves about what their heirs have done with their labors.)

Perhaps we can find somewhere where the Prophet says “there are men and there are women and nothing else.” Then we might see British politicians — most nominally having been splashed on the head with baptismal water sometime in their lives — beating a path to reconsidering the UK’s trajectory. Or will they just carve space for that exception where sharia law, de jure or de facto, might prevail?
