PAUL WESTON, chairman of the Liberty GB Party in England, whom some readers may recall as a commenter at View from the Right, was arrested on Saturday on suspicion of racial and religious harassment in connection with a campaign speech in which he quoted Winston Churchill’s words on Islam. It is permissible to denigrate Christianity publicly, for surely one cannot imagine an arrest for comparable statements about Christianity, but it is criminal to criticize Islam. Such is the inversion of values in multicultural Britain, which is really anti-cultural Britain. Weston has been released on bail. According to The Daily Mail:

The passage from the book, written by the wartime Prime Minister and first published in 1899, focuses on Churchill’s observations about Islam while serving during the Anglo-Egyptian reconquest of the Sudan.

Mr Weston told his audience: ‘Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live.

‘Thousands become the brave and loyal soldiers of the faith: all know how to die but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it.

‘No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith.’

Police officers arrested Mr Weston, mid-speech, for failing to comply with their request to move on under the powers of a dispersal order made against him.

He was further arrested on suspicion of religious or racial harrassment.

Bill Warner of the Center for the Study of Political Islam discusses the arrest at The Gates of Vienna.
