A Case of: Be Careful What You Ask for
Larry The Cable Guy would have to say about this (excerpted) story, "Now, that's funny--I don't care who you are."
Britain Aims to Become Europe's Most 'Islam-Friendly' Economy

London (CNSNews.com) - As more and more British banks offer special services to Muslims, the government says its wants to make the United Kingdom the most Islam-friendly economy in Europe. [Part of Blair's new "Giving-Britain-Away-as-a-Tax-Deductible-Donation" program. Or, as Churchill did not say, Making Britain safe for everybody but Britons.]
Treasury officials said they wanted to create a "level playing field" for banks selling financial products that comply with Islamic law (shari'a.) [Muslims will indeed level them out, more like crushing those whom they do not behead.]
In addition to providing for the 1.8 million Muslims who live in Britain, Treasury spokesman Tom Youldon said the government would continue to promote the country as a center of Islamic finance for Muslims based abroad. [What do they think Islamists will do with England when they acquire it?]
"In Islam, there's a saying that in matters of [business] dealings, everything is possible - unless it's prohibited," he said. [Oh, my, that is sooooo funny--except that it isn't.]
(Emphases and notes in [] ours)
We would have to place this British behavior in the "come-and-get-it" category. And, Britain, they surely will.
Here is an illustration for the story from our files:

I had always hoped that the Mother Country would be among the very last to fall, but I guess not.
Oh, dear...
George Mason,
The perfect graphic for this article! How many times have I said what this graphic depicts? In the thousands, no doubt.
George Mason:
The perfect graphic for a perfectly stupid policy! The graphic is funny, seriously funny; but the policy is enough to make a true Brit cry!
What is happening to the United Kingdom under Tony Blair? What, oh what, is happening?
Is all to be lost from here on in?
By the way: Where is the true grit of the true Brit?
Mark:
This article immediately brought you to mind when I read it. I could just see you going up in smoke. I sincerely hope you fine folks survive the Blairs who are doing their best to negate that fine expression: "There will always be an England!" It is pretty frustrating to watch it happening to you guys and of course to endure our own versions of it. I am sorry to say that you guys are ahead of us.
AOW and Mark: I got that graphic many years ago from a military medical-type Brit stationed at Portsmouth. It seems to have such wide applicability.
Cubed: What can we do for Mother (country)?
George:
You got it right! I was going up in smoke!
Isn't it bloody ridiculous that Britain should cherish such a goal? You remember what I used to say about Blair, don't you? I know, back then, that he was the darling of Americans for sticking up for GWB. But don't ask about the untold damage he has done to, and is still doing to, the very fabric of the United Kingdom.
The man is a buffoon!
He and his 'brother' across the water should be exiled somewhere! Is Alcatraz still functioning? :-)
Gandalf, RIDE FASTER!!!
