The truth of it is brutal: a Britain that fears enforcing its own laws, that excuses violence rather than confronts it, is no longer sovereign. It has surrendered control of its destiny.

I know this firsthand. When the UK banned me from entering the country, the justification was the same cowardly refrain—concern that my presence might “incite Muslims to violence,” compounded by my support for Israel. A nation that punishes speech instead of criminal violence, that restrains its citizens rather than its destroyers, has already conceded defeat.

This is not tolerance. It is submission. And a country that will not defend itself cannot long remain free.

Can British (U.S.)officials recover their courage? Only if the political leadership is no longer anxious to court Muslims as a voting bloc, and if the political and media establishment stop tarring anyone and everyone who wants to save Britain as a free society as “racist” and “Islamophobic.” In other words, shattered, staggering, dhimmi Britain [U.S.] is finished
