Steyn: Britain’s Gotten Used to Taking It

Mark Steyn on the appalling fecklessness of the West in the face of undisguised Islamic supremacist aggression: Taking of hostages by Iran is not Britain’s finest hour.

Twenty-seven years ago, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was a student in Tehran and is said (by a former Iranian president, for one) to be among those in the U.S. embassy who seized and held American citizens hostage for more than a year.

On this 25th anniversary of the Falklands War, Tony Blair is looking less like Margaret Thatcher and alarmingly like Jimmy Carter, the embodiment of the soi-disant “superpower” as a smiling eunuch.

“It is better to be making the news than taking it,” wrote Winston Churchill in 1898. But his successors have gotten used to taking it, and the men who make the news well understand that.

Iranian Mob Attacks UK Embassy

Take a close look: This is what the MSM calls ‘students’- here we still call them the scum of the earth…

The mullahs have been greatly encouraged by the British government’s inaction, and a mob (yes, this time a real mob) attacked the British embassy this morning.

Rocks and firecrackers have been thrown at the British embassy in Tehran as the row over 15 captured sailors and marines escalates.

Witnesses said there had been several small blasts and smoke could be seen rising in the compound.

Demonstrators called for the expulsion of the UK ambassador and the closure of the embassy, calling it a “den of spies”.

Around 200 people massed outside, chanting “death to Britain” and “death to America”.

Sky Foreign Affairs Editor Tim Marshall said the demonstration would have been sanctioned by Iranian officials. He added: “This is a warning. In the last protest there were around 10 people, around 200 this time and next time it could be thousands.”

Now watch the frenzied Chamberlain’s do the appeasement boogie!

Update:

Predictable: The government of Britain is going to apologize to the mullahs.

Ministers are preparing a compromise deal to allow Iran to save face and release its 15 British military captives by promising that the Royal Navy will never knowingly enter Iranian waters without permission.

The Sunday Telegraph has learnt of plans to send a Royal Navy captain or commodore to Teheran, as a special envoy of the Government, to deliver a public assurance that officials hope will end the diplomatic standoff.

The move, which was discussed at a meeting of Whitehall’s Cobra crisis committee yesterday, came as Downing Street officials explicitly cautioned against hopes of a speedy outcome and said that families of the hostages should prepare for the “long haul”.

Another day, another ‘Death to America, Death to the Jooozzz..!’ 

Yes. We must ‘exhaust all diplomatic options’- especially with the ‘moderates’-right?

‘Moderates’ doing Allah’s work…

The Inevitable Result of Islamic Infiltration

The German government recently had similar reports banned and taken off Youtube, where Michel Friedman exposed polygamous practices and the rorting of the welfare system by our Islamic masters. It is just too embarrassing for those true believers in the new age religion of diversity, political correctness and cultural equivalence to face reality.

Now the chooks are coming home to roost: The same is happening all over Europe, in the US and of course in Australia.

Which is all the more surprising that this show was aired:
