multiculralism is not a disaster, look at the chinese, the indians, the koreans, the japanese, the east european, they are also racially vilified but they keep trying to intergrate but not muslims.
@LePetitGrosse Multiculturalism involving Islamofascism set standards pretty high for "not disaster." There have been multiple ethnological studies that have found that diverse societies, no matter what ethnic groups are involved, tend to have lower levels of trust, and lower levels of community involvement. Plus, moral relativism and broken social cohesion, are definitely disasterous in their own right.
btw I would not consider Chinese as a very "integrating" people.
@LePetitGrosse I totally agree with you ... Multiculturalism only becomes a desaster, when a certain group tries to implement their own backwards ideology upon a more modern and civilised society like in the UK e.g.!!!
@LePetitGrosse multiculturalism isn't about integration. it is about postulating that differences are a good in themselves, and that they are sacred. it is based on a relativistic view where every culture and religion is equally good and valid, and per definition deserves respect and a right to thrive. and yes, this is what leftists believe. they have flushed down the toilet all the centuries of western philosophy and the drive to liberty and emancipation.
Utopian, masochistic bull that people applaud- as it makes them FEEL safe- throughout parts 1-5(not including Mr Pipes) then a dose of reality from the brilliant Mr Murray!
This stuff is SO important thank you for filming/posting.
This is an epic performance from Murray. Considering he went into this knowing it was an ambush, he stood up for what he believed and we were all pleasantly surprised with the outcome. I'm pleased the public is opening their eyes and seeing this hyper-PC culture for what it is. Time to drop the PC and become impartial again.
The word 'Racist' like the word 'Sexist' is seriously abused for political reasons: it's basically the Oppressives (Sorry, Progressives), way of getting people to shut up, in the way the Church once did with the word 'Sinful!'
If somebody really believes that others are less human simply because they belong to another race, fair enough, that's racist; if they believe that women are inherently inferior, that's sexist (see Islam for further details).
Ideological indoctrination is "Enculturation," hence Islamists are a race...Islamists are a race even separate from the race of Muslims.
If you are using the term "race" based on melanin content...you are falling into the leftist "racist" trap/decoy...the term race as originally used...was a designate of a grouping of people...
Islamist, and Muslims, are a race determined by the color of their heart...not the inept and impotent modern leftists designation of melanin content.
@Mortaryan agree, but I'd like to add that race is more than just melanin content of skin, and also accounts for bone structure, density, skeletal shape, etc etc
@CMTours732 This has been discounted...as most pigment groupings include all of the presently known bone structures, densities, skeletal shapes, etc. The Modern concept of race was inherited from the Islamic slave trade and then justified by Xenophobic (initially European, but not exclusively) scientists who degenerated into eugenics...and racial purity and supremacy.
@Mortaryan If you dig up a body you can use the skeletal structure to accurately identity the race and ethnicity of that person. If you couldn't do this, then I might agree.
Anyways, at core this isn't a racial issue - it's an ideological one, namely Islam (which is of course what you were saying in the first place).
@CMTours732 you are generalizing "race" and "ethnicity" on physical adaptation, two separate things. Determining "race" and ethnicity based on skeletal structure has never been dead locked. There has been enough migration and intermixing among that physical adapted archetypes, that "race," and especially ethnicity, cannot be determined by skeletal structure. The only thing that can be determined is physical adaptation. You are still using racists biases and classifications.
I think any group that contains a significant minority of dangerous extremists should be closely monitored. This is not Islamaphobic, neither is it racist, just common sense and self preservation.
Wow! Your discourse and debate is incisive, nee rapier like. Thanks for your contribution. Don't forget - Jeremy Kyle starts at 9.30. Doctors is on after the lunch time news. Good luck. x
There may not be a clash of civilisations but there will be a power struggle ie whose values reign. Muslim or Secular Western. Of course, Islamic values will eventually dominate because they have higher birthrates than Secular Europeans and this is important in a democracy. Its not rocket science.
I back Catholc laws, but of course, this is ruled out immediately because most Catholics are secularised. Still, I subscribe to neither secular nor Islamic values!
He really is fantastic isn't he? I'd never heard of him until I saw him on a talk-show with Peter Hitchens who he incidentally left in the dust. I wish there were more videos of him around.
The urge to dominate is the worst property of a human being. This property has mostly made a man wild than human. The globe now called the global village has always suffered destruction by this process. Whether you call it a clash of civilizations or religions or dividing mankind into various groups. Nowadays the group of human beings thinks of attaining power starts dominating the others and this is the worst terrorism on the globe, the most hateful action of man & must be stopped at all cost.

This fuckin idiot is a fundamentalist/extremist, why is he so scared of islamists? when the west has far superior military strength than any country let alone individual why so scared?? This whipping up of hysteria is to justify KILLING muslims en masse, there is no other reason. This guy is a racist cunt.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
ok be pedantic if you like, this guy probably hates niggers, chinks and pakis as much as he hates muslims. So there, stick that in ure bastard pipe and smoke it.
Pedantic? There's a big difference between being a Muslim. Perhaps you should read more "books," objects which contain "information" that could "clarify" such "distinctions" for you, you "asshole."
I agreed with most of what he said, but what he probably doesnt know is that the 'moderate' muslims are practicing a Islamic tactic called Taqqiya (look it up).
No thanks on the book offer. I'm a secular liberal, not a neocon.
I will defend Murray 'passionately' from moronic comments like 'fundamentalist' and cheap class envy. Attacking his class background is facile. Play the ball, not the man.
And I will defend him from the moronic Left who apparently think Hamas are the Suffragettes or the ANC with Korans.
Calling Murray a 'fundamentalist' just shows how ignorant some people are. Try reading a few books (which aren't Chomsky) and learning about Islamic Jihadism before commenting.
I'd rather have a 'pompous etonian' who knew what he was talking about, than an illiterate moron like Davina McCall and a bunch of juvenile leftie students.
He won over most of the audience in this, and the QT debate, which shows that not everyone in the UK is a pro-Jihad Galloway fan or a Davina-esque lemming.
NJM81, you obviously feel quite passionately about Murray as i see you have written comments here 3 times already. why don't you write a book instead like your friend has and spread the word?
just a note - not everyone who disagrees with the views of people such as Murray automatically agree with Galloway - or indeed Davina MacCall who no one even considered a serious panelist on Question Time (maybe you did).
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
murray himself is a right wing fundamentalist who categorises people and situations in a very simple-minded, black and white manner. but really i wouldn't have expected anything more from a pompous etonian.
The fact that he is pompous and has been to Eton bears absolutely no relevance. Drop your prejudice or envy or whatever it is and listen to what he has to say.
He gets it spot on every time. And even though it is extremely unfashionable to be right wing at the minute - particularly among uninformed leftists- it is refreshing to see a conservative speak so well.
I also saw him on question time last night and initially the crowd - made entirely of teenagers (the worst kind of leftie) - jeered him for seeing "neoconservative author" next to his name, however once his brilliance became apparent the crowd was cheering. Davina Mccoll was no match!
realkorova what are actuly trying to say your the idiot` murray is briliant spot on ` all you can do like the rest of the left is call people names that dont agree with you
The only people who are 'intellectually deficient' are the idiots on the far Left like Galloway, Livingstone, Yaqoob, Chomsky, Benn etc.
I disagree with Murray's domestic conservative policies but his analysis on todays Left and its disgusting alliance with Islamic totalitarianism is spot on.
Paul Berman, Nick Cohen and the Euston group have written similar crtiques about this shameful fellow-travelling.
The socialist Left joining hands with the Jihadist Right - that's opportunism.
What a load of utter garbage. Another classic example from the intellectually deficient right-wing. When will they stick to facts instead of wild generalisations and sweeping statements. Murray is a shameful opportunist whose arguments collapse when faced with any real intellectual vigour. Much likemany of his supporters judging by the comments.
'intellectually deficient' sounds alot like the left to me. Britainistan is a sick country. Im going there in July I expect to be throwing up in disgust
Pompous, arrogant and brilliant. His performance on BBC Question Time was excellent too. Salma Yaqoob is a Galloway crackpot and Livingstone has always been a Marxist/terrorist sympathizer. He supported the USSR, the Sandinistas, Castro and the IRA. Murray's last book does a great job in exposing these jihadist apologists and moral relativists - and is well worth reading.
I lived in London when this mad mayor got in- only about 35% of londoners even cast ballots, and Red Ken got elected with just over half. He has one of the world's most annoying voices he speaks in a high pitched very nasal whining tone. A real finger nails on the chalkboard type voice and he really is boring. He praises the suicide bombings in isreal and says it shouldnt be called terrorism, but its a different story of course when the same thing happens in his city.
The cunt face is also responsible for the giant mega mosque wich will be finished in time for the 2012 olympics. The problum with britons (and all europeans)is that they dont care enough about politics. I just wonder when the hell they r goin 2 wake up - mayb when the islamists take power and sharia law gets forced on the population.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Murray is intellectually dishonest. He peddles fear and hatred. It is laughable that he speaks on a platform of 'encouraging moderate Muslims onto the side of civilisation' because his demonising of Shariah and other concepts he seems to understand very little will do the opposite - just alienate peaceful religious people. And why is he even here? His only qualifications are having written a book about Oscar Wilde's lover, and being good at mouthing off on subjects he knows little about.
'Defamation' means a lie Vince - but it's true he has no qualifications to talk on Islam, just a degree in English literature and a book. He is arguing against tolerance, whilst trying to appear tolerant. He appeals to fear, not thought, talking of Britain's 'weakness' -- he groups very different phenomena together without analysis. His basic idea that we should promote moderate Islam is sound -- but he is doing the opposite by demonizing Islam in general.
Here's a story today from the UK. I'll expect you'll be condemming this school.
An Islamic school is poisoning the minds of pupils with lessons in hate, a former teacher claims.
Colin Cook, 57, says textbooks used by children as young as five at the King Fahad Academy in Acton describe Jews as "repugnant" and "apes" and Christians as "pigs".
Vince, you are right that anti-semitism is a problem amongst Muslims -- probably more so than among non-Muslims, though I don't think there are any statistics that prove this. Muslims responsible for anti-semitic acts, violence and hate-speech should be brought to justice in the same way that anti-semitic skinheads should. Who is on the side of civilisation and barbarism? Clearly there are Muslims, Christians, Atheists etc on both sides.
And Salma Yaqoob's qualifications are? So questioning islam (or deminising as you call it) is not allowed in Britain? the same way Jahovas witnesses get insulted? he isnt even deminising islam just stating facts about shariah law and why he thinks shouldnt be allowed in britain. Most britons would agree with him .
He's right -- this is no contest -- it would have been more productive to have someone like Hirsi Ali or Manji on the panel -- Livingston and the Muslim woman are just not in the same league, either ideologically or as debaters.
Douglas was superb,ken and his cronies must have been squirming in their seats,what a surprise it never made the news on the bbc!if the shoe was on the other foot it would of been headline news.
Pipes is a brilliant academic as is clearly demonstrated on his site and blog but Murray is an eloquent and passiionate speaker who is quite capable of taking on Comrade Ken, Baathist George Galloway or any of the apologists. BTW Yakoob's boss Mohammed Nasseem is the head of the Islamic Party of Britain, the bag man for Respect and an advocate of the execution of gays.

Murray is intellectually dishonest. He peddles fear and hatred. It is laughable that he speaks on a platform of 'encouraging moderate Muslims onto the side of civilisation' because his demonising of Shariah and other concepts he seems to understand very little will do the opposite - just alienate peaceful religious people. And why is he even here? His only qualifications are having written a book about Oscar Wilde's lover, and being good at mouthing off on subjects he knows little about.

Well that was interesting defamation but you haven't stated one thing that you think is wrong. Try that first before beheading him.

'Defamation' means a lie Vince - but it's true he has no qualifications to talk on Islam, just a degree in English literature and a book. He is arguing against tolerance, whilst trying to appear tolerant. He appeals to fear, not thought, talking of Britain's 'weakness' -- he groups very different phenomena together without analysis. His basic idea that we should promote moderate Islam is sound -- but he is doing the opposite by demonizing Islam in general.

Here's a story today from the UK. I'll expect you'll be condemming this school.
An Islamic school is poisoning the minds of pupils with lessons in hate, a former teacher claims.
Colin Cook, 57, says textbooks used by children as young as five at the King Fahad Academy in Acton describe Jews as "repugnant" and "apes" and Christians as "pigs".

Vince, you are right that anti-semitism is a problem amongst Muslims -- probably more so than among non-Muslims, though I don't think there are any statistics that prove this. Muslims responsible for anti-semitic acts, violence and hate-speech should be brought to justice in the same way that anti-semitic skinheads should. Who is on the side of civilisation and barbarism? Clearly there are Muslims, Christians, Atheists etc on both sides.

And Salma Yaqoob's qualifications are? So questioning islam (or deminising as you call it) is not allowed in Britain? the same way Jahovas witnesses get insulted? he isnt even deminising islam just stating facts about shariah law and why he thinks shouldnt be allowed in britain. Most britons would agree with him .

tolerence is a one way street for the likes of you. So 'Behead those who insult islam' is tolerent eh?

He's right -- this is no contest -- it would have been more productive to have someone like Hirsi Ali or Manji on the panel -- Livingston and the Muslim woman are just not in the same league, either ideologically or as debaters.

Douglas was superb,ken and his cronies must have been squirming in their seats,what a surprise it never made the news on the bbc!if the shoe was on the other foot it would of been headline news.

Pipes is a brilliant academic as is clearly demonstrated on his site and blog but Murray is an eloquent and passiionate speaker who is quite capable of taking on Comrade Ken, Baathist George Galloway or any of the apologists. BTW Yakoob's boss Mohammed Nasseem is the head of the Islamic Party of Britain, the bag man for Respect and an advocate of the execution of gays.
