Last week a reader drew my attention to the suffering of a young Christian Pakistani girl called Asia Bibi. Ms Bibi, as you may already be aware (it is to my shame that I was not), is currently in prison facing the frighteningly common charge of ‘blaspheming the Prophet Muhammad’, a charge she denies.

According to ChristianToday: “Bibi was accused of blasphemy in Pakistan for sharing her faith in God to other women… She was then sentenced to death, although an appeal has been filed at the Supreme Court with no news yet on when her case will be heard. But time is running out for the Christian woman since her health has been steadily declining… She’s suffering from internal bleeding. She requires urgent medical treatment. She vomits blood. She suffers terrible pain, and she can hardly eat.”

Though pressure is being relentlessly applied by Christian organisations and charities in the West, Ms Bibi’s fate remains uncertain. Many have been punished viciously for the same ‘crime’ before, and since Ms Bibi herself is surely aware of this, one can only attempt to imagine the mental torment she must be experiencing. In July of this year, Pakistani authorities announced that the death sentence is ‘suspended’, but this is subject to challenge from the country’s powerful religious establishment. As of the time of writing, Ms Bibi is in limbo.

Of course, this story will not surprise any regular visitor of this site. We all know well enough the reality of Islam and its relations with competing belief systems. Those who wish Ms Bibi to die are being entirely faithful to the commandments of Islamic law and follow a precedent dating back to the Islamic Salaf (the early companions of the Prophet). This is what Islam does. We have no right to recoil in shock anymore.

But it is nevertheless worth remarking – in case there remains any doubt – that cases like this wholly exonerate the West from any obligation to uphold or respect ‘multiculturalism’ for the benefit of Muslims. Since Muslims themselves reject and despise the idea of multiculturalism, why on Earth should we allow them to enjoy its privileges?

Years ago in America, during the white heat of the ‘Ground Zero Mosque’ controversy, the host of Fox’s satirical ‘Red-eye’ show was dead on the nail when he proposed that the mosque should only go ahead if a Synagogue was built in Mecca (the source of much of the project’s funds) first.

It really is as simple as that. Quid pro quo. Like for like.

Multiculturalism is not the natural state of the world. It is a modern invention, the product of a warped and unaccountable academia. It is unique to the industrialised West and considered bizarre and self-destructive to every nation outside of it. Japan wouldn’t allow a Mosque to be built in the shade of a Shinto Shrine. Saudi Arabia wouldn’t allow a Synagogue to be built in the shade of a Mosque. Only the West remains open to all and sundry. Is that fair?

No, simply put, it isn’t, and so a shift in policy is long overdue. No more Mosques in the Western World. If the Muslim world will not tolerate Christianity, the West has the right to expel Islam wholly from its midst.

The Islamic World War.

With news of Saudi F-15 warplanes carrying out airstrikes on Shia positions in Yemen, the formation by Egypt of a United Arab military force, Sunni militants seeking the violent overthrow of a pro-Iran regime in Syria, and bubbling tensions in Bahrain and Iraq, you would be forgiven for thinking an Islamic World War is on the near horizon. You may well be right.

Having simmered and spat for over a decade now, Sunni-Shia hostilities seem to be rushing to the surface in every country in the Dar es Salaam. Despite the likely cost of such a civil war, no Western policy seems capable of arresting it, and the process has an energy detached from all economic or political consideration.

Before looking at where we, in the West, should stand on all this, let us first look at the military, or civilizational balance between the two sides.

The Shia Coalition.

1. Iran.

According to outside analysis, the Islamic Republic of Iran has a military capacity roughly on a par with Saudi Arabia, with the latter’s technical edge sanded down by the former’s weight of numbers. Unlike Saudi’s quarter-million standing force, Iran’s army can marshal up to 900,000 soldiers (excluding state militias) and there is a wealth of dated yet still operational equipment from the Soviet Union for them to employ.

2. Iraq.

Despite the fact the two countries were once bitterly at war, it is increasingly naïve to consider modern Iraq as a separate political entity to Iran. Politically and diplomatically, the countries are in lockstep with one another, and the true source of Iraqi policy is now Tehran. All this means in practice is that Iran’s military-age population has increased by about 20 million and its oil reserves by 100%. If this integration continues, Iran will be a regional superpower, possessing or having influence over the greatest store of extractable oil in the world.

Iraq is yet to develop regular armed forces capable of acting independently

3. Southern Lebanon.

The Southern part of Lebanon (and to a limited extent, the national capital, Beirut) is currently occupied by Hezbollah, a Shia terrorist group loyal to Iran. At war, Hezbollah has proven to be surprisingly capable and it remains armed to the teeth due to historic weapons transfers from Russia, via Iran and Syria.

Hezbollah has between 4,000 and 65,000 fighters.

The Sunni Quintet.

1. Turkey.

By far the most militarily powerful country in the Islamic World, the Republic of Turkey is also increasingly aware of its position as a bulwark of the Sunni coalition. Having wrecked its alliance with Israel, elected an Islamist government, abandoned attempts to break into Europe, and made no attempt to resolve the conflict with the Kurds, Ankara appears readier than ever to play a part in a regional conflagration.

Turkey has already offered Saudi Arabia logistical aid in combating the Shia rebels in Yemen, and has vocally condemned Iranian activity in the region as a whole. The nation has pre-existing links with a variety of Sunni countries, including Egypt and Syria.

Of course, Turkey’s anti-Iranian sentiments may be due to more than religious conviction. Ankara is famously terrified by the aspirations of the Kurds, an Iranic people who possess strong links to Pan-Iranic Nationalists in Iran. Further complicating this is the fact that at least a quarter of Iran’s population are Turkic Azeris who routinely complain about Persian supremacism in the Iranian state.

Turkey can marshal roughly 1 million soldiers.

2. Pakistan.

The only Islamic country to possess an independent nuclear force, the Islamic Republic of Pakistan must be taken into account in any analysis or projection. Virulently anti-Shia, riddled with extremism and perennially unstable, Pakistan has been warmly embraced by Sunni supremacists like Osama Bin Laden, and the country remains an invaluable ally for the Saudis, who are said to be close to securing a nuclear weapon from the Pakistani stockpile.

Pakistan can marshal over a million soldiers.

3. Egypt.

The state of Egypt and its future direction is hard to judge. Despite being over 85% Sunni and the historic birthplace of radical Islam, the government in Cairo claims (for now) to be intent on a pro-Western path of secular reform. Only time can tell us whether this is possible or sincere, but if it isn’t, then the Sunni side of the conflict would benefit immeasurably, Egypt having the second most powerful military in the Islamic world (1.3 million soldiers).

4. Saudi Arabia.

The spiritual, financial and historic executive of the Sunni world, Saud Arabia has the world’s fourth largest military budget and the largest known oil reserves on Earth. Saudi investment companies own a considerable slice of Western meta-economy, granting Riyadh considerable diplomatic influence over the modern world. Saudi’s standing army numbers around 250,000 soldiers, but there are plans to increase this.

5. The Gulf.

The states of the Gulf, namely, Kuwait, the UAE and Qatar are among the richest nations on Earth, and possess small but very high-tech militaries. Gulf foreign policy is usually harmonious with that of the Saudis.

Combined, the number of active soldiers in the Gulf States is 105,000.

The Balance.

Sunni Quintet Military Forces – 3,655,000 – the larger Sunni world having 80% of the world’s Muslim civilian population.

Shia Coalition Military Forces – 930,000 – the larger Shia world having 15% of the world’s Muslim civilian population.

As should be obvious from this analysis, the Sunnis resoundingly outgun and outnumber the Shia. Indeed, if Iran was to fall apart or be drawn into a self-destructive war with Israel, the Shia would be left almost defenceless and vulnerable to outright genocide.

With that being said, a war as large as this can cause a lot of destruction before an inevitable outcome is reached.

Where Should We Stand?

Who should we side with in this developing conflict? In my own view, we should pick no side at all. A mad, religious conflict of this type has no relevance to the Western world, and neither the Sunni or the Shia have behaved in a such a way as to merit our allegiance.

Who will we side with? Well, given oil politics and the economic structure of the world, the West seems predestined to back up the Sunni-dominated order of the Middle East. The Saudis, Qataris, Kuwaitis, Egyptians and Turks are currently allied with the EU and America, while all the Shia states (save Iraq) are considered enemies. This will mean a short but destabilising war, ending in a Sunni victory.

Along the way, America may use the aggression of Iran towards Sunni states as a green light for action against the Ayatollahs. Israel may feel compelled to act against Hezbollah. A direct confrontation between ISIS and the Iranians may occur in Syria and central Iraq. Nevertheless, the end result can be foreseen in photographic detail, a Muslim world unchanged in its fundamental poverty.

I’ll close with an obvious but vital reflection: As all this blood is pointlessly shed in faraway lands, we should remind ourselves how luxurious it is to live in a 21st century civilisation; a condition far from perfect, but one that is infinitely preferable to the alternative.

Pakistan’s Everyday Madness.

When Taliban gunmen abbreviated the lives of 132 children in a Pakistani school last month, it became customary on social media to report a feeling of ‘shock’. Via facebook and twitter, Westerners lined up to report their disbelief and surprise at an event that seemed to defy understanding.

This wasn’t a bandwagon I could leap onto myself, I’m afraid. To do so would have been dishonest and almost pretentious. Knowing what I know about Islam, about Pakistan and about the abusive relationship between the two, I couldn’t be less surprised by a massacre of this kind. To be sure, I couldn’t really be shocked by any act of bestial violence occurring in that horrible, irredeemable country. If tomorrow, 300 new born babies were slaughtered in a Pakistani maternity ward, my heart would ache, but my mind would be unchanged.

Islam, you see, can only ever end in violence. Those Muslims who do not commit violence really are (as the extremists say) disobeying the spirit of the religion. That those children massacred in Peshawar were themselves Muslim means little. If Islam cannot fight those outside of its tent, it will turn on its own. Like the proverbial shark that must constantly move to survive, the pace of Islamic evil must be ceaselessly maintained. Noise must made (and what better noise than screaming) so that thought and conscience can be muffled and ignored. If the Muslims of the world could stand still and reflect without the presence of an (external or internal) enemy, even for a year, the culture would begin to crumble. Islam is total and permanent mobilisation of the lower instincts; a military-delusional complex.

Unlike Iran, Tunisia and other moderately infected nations, it is increasingly clear that Pakistan cannot be rescued. There is no cultural haloperidol we can airdrop to change the hearts and minds of that delusion-ravaged land. And when things like Peshawar occur, we should have the honesty not to feign surprise.

The Worst Country in the World.

Of the 196 countries currently recognised by the UN, only a small number are of any global consequence. The count of those countries we call ‘civilised’ is even smaller. This means – unfortunately – that there are uncivilised countries of consequence; states without high culture but which nevertheless wield political, economic and cultural power.

The most iconic mismatch of this kind is undoubtedly the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Occupying the lion’s share of the Arabian peninsula and with a population of over 28 million people, Saudi is a country of great influence. It is one of the richest countries (per capita) in the world. Its religious capital Makkah provides the spiritual focus for 1.3 Billion Muslims around the world. Funded by oil revenues, the over-equipped Saudi military is the third most powerful in the Middle East (after Israel and Egypt). The youthful Saudi population is growing rapidly and will reach 40 million by 2050.

This concentration of power, together with Saudi’s lack of civilisation has made for the world’s biggest geopolitical headache.

Even though the Saudi government publically professes a Westerly inclination, the country’s religious elite – all of whom are within the royal family’s social orbit – are responsible for the maintenance of Salafism – the most devilish interpretation of the Islamic religion in a thousand years.

Inflexibly opposed to moderation, adaptation and modernity, Salafism regards the Qur’an as the only source of accurate reflection and human practices deviating from it as Haram. Salafi clerics preach that only the example of the ‘original’ (6th and 7th century) Muslims can serve as an accurate guide for contemporary believers, and it is this demonic contention that directly influences the acts of puritanism and violence we see on a daily basis. (Many of the terror groups in operation today are acting under the influence of Salafism rather than Wahhabism – the latter being a parent theology of the former.)

The original Muslims, as you’ll be aware, were cruel, zealous warriors. They slaughtered anyone who dared to hold a different conception of the divine (including, most famously, the Jews of Yathrib), and they expanded the domain of Islam with martial sadism, sexual terrorism and cultural vandalism. The Berbers, Persians, Nabataeans, Phoenicians, Palestinian Jews and Egyptians were all trodden ruthlessly underfoot and forced to revere a religion plagiarised from their own ideas.

Saudi Arabia’s original inhabitants destroyed the ancient Middle East and their descendants use oil money to keep this tragedy from being reversed or even moderated. So far, only Israel has succeeded in undoing this ancient offence. The Lebanese Maronites tried desperately but failed. The Persians dream of reversing it, but seem unlikely to get the chance.

In the modern era, Saudi men have earned a reputation (and this is all they have earned) for being the most charmless of all the national varieties. Just today it is reported that a Saudi prince has offered £1,000,000 dollars for a night with the  ‘celebrity’ Kim Kardashian. This shabby behaviour fits in neatly with the rumoured excesses of this vile royal house. In 2012, a Swiss hotel worker was chastened for revealing the business had to purchase hundreds of condoms for visiting Arab princes. London hoteliers, too, will be familiar with the same faces and their limitless indulgence in prostitutes and strippers. Even London’s commoners have noted the graceless arrogance of these playboys. The Sunday papers are routinely bulked out with photographs of their citrus-coloured Lamborghinis and gold-plated Porsches.

Saudi Women – along with North Koreans of both sexes – are among the most invisible people on earth. Even if you think hard about it, it’s unlikely you can recall the face of one of them beyond the odd escapee Princess. Within the sweltering oppression of the desert Kingdom, women are left to grow old and fat in house-shaped prisons. They cannot drive or leave the house without male permission, nor can they talk with men outside of their extended family.

Apart from destroying cultures, funding prostitution and spreading extremism, the Saudis can also be personally thanked for the collection of tragedies grouped under the date of 9/11; that aquamarine morning in 2001 when 3000 Americans were immolated by madmen acting under the influence of desert know-nothings. People who read chick-lit, listened to Coldplay and Nirvana, shopped at Victoria’s Secret and Tesco – ordinary modern-world citizens – were destroyed by a fire of hatred, the kindling of which began in a faraway desert.

America’s ‘alliance’ with Saudi must count as the most cynical piece of economic opportunism in history. Even the West’s brief friendship with Josef Stalin made more sense and bore more justifying results. There is no state worth fighting that Saudi would help us defeat. Riyadh is on civil terms with Moscow, Pyongyang and Beijing. The use of the word ‘alliance’ in this context drains it of any meaning.

And it isn’t just America degrading itself in this way. The West in general has functioned as Arabia’s main armoury for over 40 years. Britain alone has supplied Riyadh with billions of dollars’ worth (you read that right) of military equipment including fighter jets, air defence systems, tanks, armoured personnel carriers and STA and STG missiles.

Saudi Arabia is the worst country in the world. There is something blasphemous in even calling it a country. Germany is a country. A country of great, industrious, well-evolved human-beings. Saudi is a cultural black hole. It sucks in anything of value that falls within its gravity. And that sucking void; the darkness where the Syrians, Persians and Egyptians went, waits now for the West with a burning hunger.

Muslims Vs Roma in Page Hall.

The other day, I watched a BBC documentary entitled ‘Police Under Pressure: Uneasy Peace’ which documented the escalating tensions between the settled communities of Page Hall in Sheffield, and the thousands of Slovakian Roma who have arrived in the area over recent years.

I was already passingly familiar with the issue. The situation has enjoyed a national prominence ever since it was mentioned by (now retired) MP David Blunkett, who famously warned that ‘riots’ are a possible consequence if the government fails to address local concerns. Though he was roundly criticised for ‘scaremongering’, the documentary (if it is to be believed) demonstrates that his concerns were and are well founded.

The Page Hall district of Sheffield has traditionally been divided between White Britons and British born Pakistanis. The Roma were added to this stew only recently and have quickly become unpopular with both locals and police. 

So controversial has their behaviour been in fact, that they have pressed together the Pakistanis and Whites into a strange and very untypical alliance. Reflecting this, the documentary featured many instances of Pakistanis adopting the language of the indigenous far-right. “I’ve got more rights (than them). I was born here. British born and bred. I’m proud of it.” one Asian male barked to police officers after a night of low-level disorder. Another compared the Slovakians to ‘rats’, while another predicted ‘World War 3’ if the police failed to disperse the crowds of Roma children playing on their street at night.

In case you should doubt the scale of what we’re talking about, here (unbelievably) is the Guardian:

“Nobody knows for sure how many Roma people have come to Sheffield since Slovakia joined the EU in 2004. The council’s best guess is that 1,500 eastern European Roma children now live in the city as a whole, with around 500 in the small Page Hall area. Miroslav Sandor, a Roma community worker in Page Hall, gives a much higher estimate. He thinks there may be 600-900 large families in the city… Though the migrants come and go, the flow is predominantly in one direction. Three buses run by Interbus make the 30-hour journey overland from Slovakia to Sheffield each week but just two go back in the other direction.”

The right-wing press has spoken (as one might expect) rather more frankly. Joe Shute in the Telegraph described the situation as follows:

“The atmosphere is poisonous, a breeding ground for trouble. Roma youths and adults hang around in groups, dozens at a time throughout the day and night. Rumours swirl between them and the Pakistani and white community, with each blaming the other for fuelling drugs, prostitution, and the increase of rubbish. There have been numerous reported fights. One Pakistani shopkeeper’s wife had her hand broken in a recent altercation with Roma youths… The community feels at breaking point. “When it goes off, it will be like an atom bomb here,” a shopkeeper warns as he picks up a broken glass bottle from the street. A group of Roma youths swagger past. Nobody looks anybody in the eye.”

To further complicate this stand-off, the documentary later featured a march by the English Defence League – ostensibly about the conversion of a local pub into a mosque (embarrassingly for the EDL, it was later decided to convert the building into a KFC) – but more likely held to protest the Islamisation of the area in general. The march was planned to kettle at the border of a mixed Muslim-White area of the district. Frustratingly, the position of the EDL in regard to the Roma population was never investigated.

As a phenomenon, this is broader than England of course. The Romani (or ‘Gypsy’) community are becoming a heated topic of debate across Europe. In the larger Spanish cities, tensions arising from Romani immigration have been markedly severe. France meanwhile is still convulsing from a national scandal involving the beating to death by vigilantes of a Romani teenager suspected of burglary.

I can’t say I’m wholly innocent of the ill-feeling either. Like most Londoners, it has become almost second nature to me to avoid cashpoints whenever there are unaccompanied brown children nearby.

But talking about Romani immigration is naturally far more difficult than discussing the obvious disadvantages of Muslim settlement. Given the revolting treatment of Romani Europeans in World War II, one will always run the risk of unknowingly quoting Heinrich Himmler.

As to Page Hall specifically – and though they might be enjoying themselves immensely – I would also warn the Muslim community to refrain from using terms like ‘rats’ and ‘World War III’. An occasion may come for these words, but it’s unlikely to involve Slovakians.

We Are Not Wrong about Pakistan.

Peter Oborne, the lonely iconoclast at the staid and tedious Daily Telegraph, posted an article the other day that has since been shared over 22,000 times.

The title of this article is a question – ‘Are we wrong about Pakistan?’, and the answer Oborne supplies thereafter is a resounding ‘Yes’.

Reporting back from a visit to Lahore, the veteran hack said the following –

“I had been dispatched to write a report reflecting the common perception that Pakistan is one of the most backward  and savage countries in the world. This attitude has been hard-wired into Western reporting for years and is best summed up by the writing of the iconic journalist Christopher Hitchens… Since my first night in a Lahore restaurant I have travelled through most of Pakistan, got to know its cities, its remote rural regions and even parts of the lawless north….the Pakistan that is barely   documented in the West – and that I have come to know and love – is a wonderful, warm and fabulously hospitable country. And every writer who (unlike Hitchens), has ventured out of the prism of received opinion and the suffocating five-star hotels, has ended up celebrating rather than denigrating (the country).”

Needless to say, traditional Telegraph readers were less than impressed by all this. I can appreciate the sentiment.

What Mr Oborne appears to be confusing is the notion of a country that welcomes tourist income, and one which is a pleasure to live in.

There is no sane Westerner alive who would relocate to Pakistan, especially after having become accustomed to European society. None at all. And indeed, emigration rates (excepting Pakistanis themselves) reflect this. When these are compared against immigration rates, the case could hardly be more starkly presented.

There are over 4,000,000 Pakistanis living in Europe and America as of 2013, whilst the number of non-Pakistani origin Westerners upping sticks for the Indus Valley can be counted on your fingers.

Let’s not pretend we don’t know the reason for this. Despite Pakistan’s natural beauty (which I don’t doubt for a second), the country is one of the most corrupt and unfree on the planet. Even those smiling and civilized folk who showed Mr Oborne to his gin cabinet will no doubt derive from tyrannical extended families who themselves are mere cogs in a gruesome machine of tribal repression extending across the country.

True, Pakistan may be hospitable to white, wealthy journalists, but perhaps next time Mr Oborne should try visiting disguised as a Shia Muslim. Perhaps the welcome in that case would have a more foreboding and funereal character.

When discussing Pakistan, there are some in the CounterJihad tendency who claim partition – the separation of what has become ‘Pakistan’ from India – as a disaster. I disagree.

India, let’s not forget, is a nascent regional superpower and without the cessation of Pakistan, there would have likely emerged a Muslim majority there some time this century. This would have imposed serious geopolitical consequences on the South-Asia/Greater Middle East locale.

There are reasons to be grateful for Pakistan therefore, but in the greater scheme of things, its critics, Mr Oborne, are far from wrong.

Bomb Iran.

Like Saudi Arabia, the Islamic Republic of Iran is not a country whose ambitions are limited by its borders. Tehran’s ruling clerical elite views itself as the logical executive of the Shia Muslim world, for which they would claim Iraq, Lebanon, North-East Arabia, Bahrain, and parts of Pakistan.

For this purpose, the Iranian military (including paramilitary forces) now marshals over 2.5 million men; the largest standing army in the most heavily-armed region in the world. Given its geographic position, the Iranian republic is also able to fire sophisticated missiles at Europe, Saudi Arabia and Israel, as well at US bases in the Persian Gulf. The Iranian navy meanwhile can halt oil transit in the Straits of Hormuz, potentially devastating the global economy.

And perhaps to all this, Iran may be about to add a nuclear capability.

The day the Islamic Republic first tests a nuclear device will mark the birth of a new Great Power; an Islamist Soviet Union, shielded by the threat of apocalypse to arm and manipulate the world, from Bahrain to Mexico to Tehrangeles.

The Obama administration has today consented to lay off the Islamic Republic for a period of six months, being assured of a ‘freeze’ in Iranian nuclear development. Given that Iran once hid a secret enrichment facility under a mountain, this seems foolhardy in the extreme.

Of the deal this weekend, the Israeli Prime Minister has said the following::

“Today the world has become a much more dangerous place because the most dangerous regime in the world has taken a significant step toward attaining the most dangerous weapon in the world… This agreement and what it means endanger many countries including, of course, Israel. Israel is not bound by this agreement. The Iranian regime is committed to the destruction of Israel and Israel has the right and the obligation to defend itself, by itself, against any threat.”

It appears only Israel and Saudi Arabia are now willing and able to do anything about Tehran’s drive for the big league.

If, in the coming weeks, the former decides to act alone, and if the press tells you that Israel is being reckless, or selfish, or fanatical, or is somehow a ‘rogue state’, know this: This is the same state which stopped Iraq and Syria from developing WMD; weapons which could have just as easily been aimed at London as Tel Aviv. There is a clear and undeniable overlap between Israel’s security and our own, and Iran, along with Saudi Arabia and Turkey, is part of a terrifying cultural revival, aimed ultimately at our common destruction.

We have been warned.

A Saddening Glimpse of London’s Future.

It’s easy to lapse into false optimism about Muslim immigration, especially if one views things solely through ones own generational lens. Most commonly, it’s only when viewed from ‘below’ as it were, that things enter their statistical context.

I was riding an almost empty bus from Wimbledon to Fulham the other afternoon, when the clock struck 3:30pm, and the vehicle hummed to a stop outside a local secondary school.

The doors slid open, and within seconds, the Western World seemed to disappear.

Gone was England, its green fields and marble arches, and to replace it, a rowdy band of Somalians and Pakistanis. I couldn’t count, but the swarm of conquisotors must have been 20 to 25 strong. A deafening pet-shop chorus quickly filled the air around me.

The school itself, I noted, looked to be from the Blair-era; i.e. a type of modernized state school with the deliberate ambience of a college. Any thought that the school was strictly Islamic was undermined by a number of native students wearing the same uniform. This only served to make it even more depressing. 

As I sat there for the remainder of the journey, surrounded by a forest of prayer caps and headscarves, I felt like some sort of gap-year missionary, flown in to demonstrate house-building or agriculture to the poor of Mogadishu. Few of the children communicated with each other in English, and those who did, only managed the bastardised slang of urban ghettos.

Still, the figures on these matters, with which I am usually so well acquainted, ought to have dulled any surprise I felt. London’s natural demographic growth (i.e that which is not attributable to fresh immigration) is greatest in those areas dominated by Muslims. Tower Hamlets, Brent and Haringey all have ballooning populations, and since this incident occurred in the leafy opulence of West-London, there must also be hives of conquest closer to home.

Demography, the study of these changes in population, is a miserable science. It’s made all the worse for its definitude. One can’t argue with it, debate it, mitigate it, or challenge it. The movements within demography can be as soundly predicted as any other calculus. That swarm, – that loud, semi-literate band of youth previously described – is the future of London. There is no way around it. Barring their mass generational suicide, that lucky collection will inherit the priceless city of Edward Gibbon (‘Decline and Fall’ – the greatest ever application of the English language – was written around the same area).

How very ironic. How very sad.

Malala Goes Global: The Birth of an Industry.

Well, it seems Her Excellency Madame Yousafzai is about to go viral, much like a YouTube video of a cat falling down a stairwell.

As with such videos, people seem to be appreciating Yousafzai without the labour of engaging their minds.

I suppose this is easily done. After all, Yousafzai is young, pleasant looking, and was shot by bad people. That is – technically speaking – all you’re supposed to know, or indeed think about. To doubt her brilliance, in any case, is to side with the Taliban. You’re probably also a bit rayciss.

A Telegraph blogger (who should frankly know better) recently called for Yousafzai to receive the Nobel Peace Prize, a nomination for which there was already considerable support online. A supporting facebook page quickly attracted thousands of ‘likes’ and many famous lovelies chimed in to support the idea too. The only deviating voice came from the Guardian….. who declared Yousafzai ‘too good for the Nobel peace prize’.

One wonders then what would be good enough for her? Queen of Pakistan? UN Secretary General? Pope?

As it happens, the award went to those charged with dismantling chemical warheads in Syria. A victory for proportion if ever there was one.

Although it provided me with some light therapy, I fear my first Yousafzai post was otherwise like those angry Iraqis who – in 2003/4- threw stones at American Tanks. Malala is unstoppable. There are going to be many books written about her, hundreds of them, and based upon these will be movies, big, Hollywood epic movies. There will also be speeches alongside Obama, Cameron and whoever succeeds them. Only a fool would rule out a music career….

For now, we may as well get used to her moneyed grin. It’s going to be with us for a long time.
