5.0 out of 5 stars Damning attack on PC, multiculturalism and the human rights industry, 11 Feb 2008
By M. McManus - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
This review is from: Londonistan: How Britain Is Creating a Terror State Within (Paperback)
This book describes how a mixture of government policies by successive Tory and Labour governments created a large and fierce fifth column of radical Muslim inside the UK's borders. The book points the finger of blame at four things. Firstly, is the human rights industry, which under the excuse of protecting human rights has enabled even very reasonable security and deportation measures to be struck down as alleged "human rights violations". Secondly, is the doctrine of multiculturalism, which forbids a frank discussion of the compatibility of Islam and liberal democracy as well as certain cultural practises like honour killings. Thirdly, is the collapse in Western cultural confidence engineered by the far left PC "elites", which makes radical Muslims view the UK as weak, decadent and deserving of conquest. Finally, is the way Israel is being viewed as a sacrificial lamb to appease radical Islam.

Phillips also show cases the peculiar alliance between the far left and radical Islam, exemplified by Ken Livingstone and George Galloway. she says that this alliance has led to two things, a growth in anti-Semitism and a vicious anti-Israel climate in the media and academia. She writes a spirited and extremely frank defence of Israel, and dispels a few myths in the process.

The book does not have any obvious weaknesses. Some readers may disagree with here views on Israel, even if they agree about the threat poses by radical Islam and the problems associated with multiculturalism. All in all, the book is a must read for anyone concerned about radical Islam and curious as to why our political elites fail to deal with it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Root Cause, 4 Jul 2007
This review is from: Londonistan: How Britain is Creating a Terror State within (Hardcover)
Every terrorist atrocity is followed by the question "Why?". All too often, the answers provided by politicians and pundits are simply figments of their own imagination. A campaigner against poverty will claim that poverty causes terrorism; a fan of national self-determination will claim that the terrorists are "freedom fighters". In this book, Melanie Philips delves into the ideology of islamism (or islamo-fascism) and explores the total failure of the British chattering class to understand or resist the march of this ideology within Britain. Others, such as Craig Wynn and Robert Spencer, have explored islam more deeply, and former islamist Ed Hussain has provided an insider's guide to the process of islamist agit-prop in britain. However, Melanie's book must rank as by far the best guide to the mind-blowing passivity of the British State which has allowed London to become a hotbed of islamo-fascism and terrorist activity.

4.0 out of 5 stars Read and think, 20 Feb 2007
By Ian Cook (MK, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Londonistan: How Britain is Creating a Terror State within (Hardcover)
On the whole extremely readable, but don't just nod in agreement. Understand her argument and see where she may be wrong or overstate. For instance, I agree that the blind support of Left Liberals for Palestinian terrorism whilst at the same time denouncing the Middle East's only democracy has done terrible harm. But on this point Melanie does rather go on. Generally though, it shows how Bush's 'War on Terror' needs to seen for what he intended, a war on the ideas that seek to destroy our way of life, rather than one of marching armies. And that it is the Left predominately that wants to endlessly posture and preen, to blame Bush for everything without addressing the real enemy in our midst. Is Islam a terror for us all? No, but as Melanie points out forcefully, by deploying crass indifference to those Muslims that do wish us harm, we terribly let down those that don't and we ultimately put ourselves in harms way.
