As I have already said, it doesn't look like he's making it look like a joke to me......but anyway, I'm not sure of it's authenticity now either. I just wish that someone here could give us a definitive answer on that.

Was it there? Or was it missing (like the BNP said)?

Blair was a Christian. Does that mean we were run by Christians for 11 years? Unless of course you're under the impression a Muslim leader will only allow fellow Muslims in his Cabinet and swap everything over to Sharia Law?

Here is the original "synced" speech, put on to YouTube late December 2008 (which seems to contradict that this speech was being kept "secret").

Link

But I suppose people believe what they want to believe.

He didn't say that - now you are making stuff up, Rammy.

I don't really think that is going to happen, we can't find evidence that explicitly states that he does not want a Islamic Britain. He is making a joke, or an exaggeration to prove a point, by commenting on the success of Muslims in politics by stating at this rate all of parliament will be Muslim. He then laughs and makes the comment about it not being his intention.

Although his wish for a Muslim Prime Minster is not wrong, or scary, it makes sense. I think everyone wishes for a Prime Minster whom best represents their view, so Jews would wish the same, Christians would wish the same and I as an atheist wish the same.

Finally, no matter what his alleged wishes and predictions are they will not happen. His country is increasingly less religious, as Maggy says, the chances of a Atheist parliament and Prime Minster are far more likely.

Par for the course in these types of thread.

The guy is saying what he wants for his vision of Britain. I dare say there is enough anti-Muslim feeling in Whitehall to ensure it never happens.

Haven't had a chance to view/listen, but this seems to be the 'official' version (use the > to scroll right).

That link doesn't help his case really. We have a justice minister who seems preoccupied with all things muslim rather than all things British and who clearly hasn't been edited (as some have claimed here)

I don't see anything referring to Christian churches being abolished.

Again 'without prejudice', as I've not had the chance to listen, this was a Muslim conference, so it's hardly surprising if his speech covered 'all things Muslim'.

Oh, come on - it was a Muslim conference and a mostly Muslim audience. I used to attend Tory Conferences, and strangely enough, most of the topics were those concerning Tories and their viewpoints (whoda thunk). I attended a University and Colleges Information Systems Association conference in Liverpool last week, and we seemed to focus on IT and Higher Education. Methinks you are looking for reasons to condemn.

And yes, he did say that, but most people seem to realise that,when he grinned and commented about the press, it was a joke.

.......to the exclusion of anything else, I noted. But maby I'm just paranoid (I'm serious, I'm willing to entertain that notion) :D

Tory and IT isn't a religion. Silly comparison....

Thank you, thats the first post in this thread that acknowledges what he seems to be saying.......
I hope you are wrong and that he was just joking.

Re: Labour MP Predicts Total Islamification of Britain
 
Can we just bring some reality to this thread - how in a Higher Beings name would Muslims gain a majority of the 650 MPs; start up the "let's convert Britain to Muslimia Party", and then they would sneak around at night brainwashing everyone to convert to Islam, and making part of the conversion a pact to vote for the LCBTMP.

At the last election, NuLab won with just under 10 million votes, and at the 2001 Census there were 1.5 million Muslims in the UK (and if we say conservatively half of those were children who can't vote, which makes 0.75 million voters). The LCBTMP would have to multiply the number of Muslims 13 times. And that assumes no one votes against them, which some of the comments on this thread, seems highly unlikely.

Reality check, anyone.

Cool, I'm happy with that :tu: :)

I agree, some of the stuff here is M.A.D....

I watched the conference video and it seemed clear that he was joking.... it wasn't the smile that tipped me off but it helped.... The clear reason for me is that he was speaking as though it were a theoretical mathmatical problem like what I used to do at school e.g what is the next number in the sequence

2, 4, 8, 16, 32, ??

if you continue in this fashion you can theoretically reach/exceed any total as defined with the puzzle...

1st are we naieve enough to believe that our system of government is so fragile that it couldn't cope with a muslim PM

2nd Even if he were a muslim despot, that simply is not enough to de-rail our system of govt

3rd It wasn't that long ago that a Black president of America would have been tolerated.

Who can really say whay will happen in 30 years?
