Excerpt:

February 12 was a black day for Britain. A democratically elected, law-abiding member of the Dutch parliament was treated like a criminal, seized at Heathrow airport, and sent home. A man who has not preached a word of violence, but has himself received death threats, was summarily ejected from this country in an uncivil and in every way uncivilized fashion, by a Home Office that welcomes criminals and terrorists with open arms. Why? Because his film Fitna tells uncomfortable truths about Islam. The expression "Churchill would be turning in his grave," sometimes hyperbolically trotted out in reaction to a banned piggy bank or halal pizza parlor, now fits.

The story of the British government's gutless appeasement has been eloquently told at this site by Andrew Ian Dodge and Mike McNally. The government's cowardice is beyond dispute, and I have little to add to what has already been said on that subject here and elsewhere. It is the unthinking haste of the decision that I wish to consider, specifically what this shows about how the government sees Muslims.
