The United Kingdom, a pillar of Western civilization — and where the new Muslim mayor of London convenes a rally at which men and women are segregated.
Mayor Sadiq Khan, bosom buddies with convicted al Qaeda terrorist Babar Ahmad, spoke at a rally in Manchester earlier this week to push for Britain to remain part of the EU.
Predominately in attendance were members of the city’s Pakistani Muslim community. While this in and of itself was striking, more disturbing still was that the crowd was segregated by sex. Townhall reports:
Photos from the event show a ring of men at the front with the women further behind. There is no suggestion they were forcibly segregated, but the Mayor did not intervene to prevent the women standing at the back.
It is not uncommon for women and men to be separated in Mosques but this incident will be seen as significant after Mr Khan received criticism for banning an advert earlier this week. The advert depicted a woman in a bikini, something that is banned under Sharia Law.
The segregated crowd should come as a surprise to no one, and given the suicidal trajectory of Western multiculturalists, we’re only bound to see more like it in the years ahead.

Well – at least one Brit gets it:

I’ve ranted so much on so many sites on the threat of Islam’s incursion into the West, to the rights of women and all other marginal populations, that I’m tired from it. The doctrinaire liberals have closed their eyes and their ears. I feel like saying: Sister, you asked for it, when I hear a liberal woman whine about our country’s “rape culture” while turning a blind eye to the atrocious treatment of my sex in Islam. I hardly have the words to convey my disgust and rage at the Western liberals and “feminists” who are acquiescing to sexist restrictions on their personal freedoms so as not to “offend” or “provoke” the Muslim invaders who are wrecking their beautiful European cities and making life very unsafe for women and gays there, as the linked article describes:

I’m sitting here watching my city, my country, and my Western civilization commit suicide in so many ways, and my rantings on blogs and social sites, while letting me vent, doesn’t accomplish a thing to turn back the tide of irrationality that has flooded this society for the past 100 years at least. First, we make ourselves poor and vulnerable by giving away our manufacturing, our markets and even our military technology to a communist country run by a thug government. Then, we toady to a backward, 7th century culture whose legal system is totally antithetic to the notion of human rights, while making alliances with countries in the Middle East that are the world’s worst human rights abusers.
Ideas have consequences, but they take a long time to percolate through a culture, and it is difficult to know just where the disease that is destroying an entire culture took root. By the time an idea, or philosophy, has worked its way through a culture, it has so permeated the entire culture and its institutions, that it has been accepted as a given, a fact of nature no more open to dispute or argument than the composition of water or the relationship of the Earth to the sun. The fact is that the collapse of Western Civilization, and the eventual failure of our country and its system of laws, began almost as soon as this country was born.
This country was not based on “Judeo Christian ethics”, but on the Rationalist philosophy of the Enlightenment, which held that nature can be understood by observation and the application of rational thought, and that individual humans have inalienable rights that can be taken from them only by force. That philosophy inspired our revolution and the writing of our constitution and bill of rights, but it collapsed shortly after, around the time of the French Revolution.
What replaced it was the philosophy of Collectivism and Altruism, which, in a nutshell, state that no one has rights, that the individual has no importance and is subordinate to the collective, i.e “society”, “the common good”, “the will of the people”. The ultimate good is considered to be self-sacrifice- you are judged by your willingness to relinquish everything you own, up to and including your life. It is a creed that considers you guilty to the degree to which you are successful, and it hates the good for being the good. So, therefore, we Westerners, the heirs to centuries of achievement and progress in the attainment of knowledge and applying it to making our lives better, should sacrifice the fruits of those achievements to hordes of illiterate savages who are somehow better than we because they have achieved nothing and are the same illiterate, hate-filled, murderous, primitive savages their forbears were 1000 years ago.
The chickens hatched by Kant and his philosophical children, from outspoken Collectivists like Kant and Marx, to “pragmatists” like Spencer, who saw that freedom accomplished good but somehow could not morally justify it by the Collectivist philosophies he had thoroughly absorbed, are now coming home to roost. How long can a civilization survive the collapse of the ethic on which it was built? We’re finding out about now.
Most people in this country, and many who post on this site, believe that philosophy is irrelevant,and that studying it is a waste of time and mental energy. That is just possibly because our intellectual elite and the academic institutions they run, are so thoroughly steeped in irrational, collectivist philosophies that the entire field died long ago. Will anyone revive it? The folks at the Ayn Rand Institute are giving it their best shot, but when the only public officials who will quote her are people like Paul Ryan, who so misunderstands her philosophy and supports so many policies that are highly irrational and anti-individual rights, that he does more to drive people away than to persuade them.
And most liberals continue to believe a problem does not even exists with our peaceful Muslium immigrants
Yet our leaders -the current ones, which may change soon- continue to tell us how Islam is for us and how we much allow Muslim immigration to enrich our culture.

— “This country was not based on “Judeo Christian ethics”, but on the Rationalist philosophy of the Enlightenment, ”
Which was a philosophy that was only free to exist and be explored while protected by a giant bubble of Christian ethics. You want to know when the Islamification of the west started? The Enlightenment. It began the slide toward a mindset where Christianity was no longer allowed to protect itself.
— “Ideas have consequences, but they take a long time to percolate through a culture, and it is difficult to know just where the disease that is destroying an entire culture took root.”
When people decided they could decide what’s right without having as a foundation built on spending time contemplating eternity and the potential of facing someone you can’t lie to.
— “I’m sitting here watching my city, my country, and my Western civilization commit suicide in so many ways, and my rantings on blogs and social sites, while letting me vent, doesn’t accomplish a thing to turn back the tide of irrationality that has flooded this society for the past 100 years at least.”
Yes, because the Christians were convinced they shouldn’t defend themselves from those who hate their beliefs. Then the Atheists were convinced they shouldn’t defend their bodies (which is all they have) from those who will happily kill them. Atheism has protection and safe harbor in Christianity so long as it is realistic about how it chooses to assert itself. It has no protection outside of it. Atheism/Agnosticism can’t defend it self because it doesn’t have a solid enough foundation that humans require in order to work together to protect themselves from people who can not be reasoned with.
Fines, arrest, court, and jail – that is how the cultural Marxists are preventing large outcry against the Islamic Neanderthals.
Truly sad development for Britain – they need a Churchill.
