Something Wicked This Way Comes

Most people in the Anglosphere know that William Shakespeare was born in the town of Stratford-upon-Avon. Or at least they used to know it — given that he’s a dead WASP, it may well be that children don’t learn much about the Bard nowadays in school.

Anyway, here’s a snip from the Wikipedia entry on Shakespeare’s birthplace:

Shakespeare’s Birthplace is a restored 16th-century half-timbered house situated in Henley Street, Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire, England, where it is believed that William Shakespeare was born in 1564 and spent his childhood years. It is now a small museum open to the public and a popular visitor attraction, owned and managed by the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust. It has been referred to as “a Mecca for all lovers of literature”. [emphasis added]

These photos were taken last Friday in the courtyard behind the Shakespeare museum (except for the one immediately above, which is from the front of the building). The faces of the women have been blurred to protect the person who took the photo as a protection against possible legal action.

As you can see, the last line in the excerpt from the wiki is eerily apropos.

Two groups who visited the museum sent us reports on their experiences. The first report:

Full ninja outfit, prayer mats, the whole caboodle. To do what they were doing in a place closely associated with one of the great pinnacles of civilisation is pure provocation — a great big two-fingered salute to all of us. You can be sure that they had no interest in Shakespeare or in the values which his art represents.

We drew the situation to the attention of the management, not that there was much they could do. To their credit they heard us out and were kind enough to refrain from having us arrested on the grounds of racism. But their response was the usual mealy-mouthed claptrap — ‘they have to pray at certain times each day’ and ‘we are a diverse country’.

Neither of these points holds water. It’s laid down in Islamic doctrine that when in non-Muslim countries you bide your time and fit in with the local conditions until you’re strong enough and numerous enough to assert yourselves. The fact that some are so emboldened as to feel able to mount such public displays gives a clue to the way things are going. And the diversity argument is a bad joke.

Once these people get their feet under the table we can all kiss goodbye to ‘diversity’.

One feels disgust, but also pity for the girls who have been so brainwashed, not in some distant desert craphole, but in a country that once prided itself on its democracy and freedom. But most of all one feels ashamed that we have come down to this.

But let’s look on the bright side. I expect the Shakespeare heritage people will have learnt their lesson. Next time we visit Stratford they’ll have a fully equipped prayer room.

From the second group of visitors:

When we were in Stratford-upon-Avon we saw hardly any covered up heads — perhaps not even one… not even many pizza/chicken shops/kebab places… and then this! We were told they are a ‘diverse’ place and that they don’t have a prayer room.

Had to have mulled wine after that.

Surely there is a right place to pray and it should be a private matter. It should NOT be in the grounds of Shakespeare’s birthplace

Here’s another relevant quote from the Bard, this time from The Tempest:

                              O, wonder!
How many goodly creatures are there here!
How beauteous mankind is! O brave new world,
That has such people in’t!

— spoken by Miranda in Act V, Scene 1

    • Last time I was in Stratford-upon-Avon there were people everywhere; now, seeing the walking garbage bags desecrating Bill’s birthplace, why couldn’t a hundred or so patriotic Englishmen have thrown the muslimas out-bodily, and then just disappeared before the cops arrived?

      Oh I forgot, they’re a multi-ethnic society now. (until the moslems increase in numbers….)

  1. ‘The game’s afoot:
    Follow your spirit; and, upon this charge
    Cry ‘God for Harry! England and Saint George!’
    (Henry V 3.1.31)

    Did the people who keep the Bard’s birthplace actually ever read Shakespeare.

    Or perhaps American Edward Everett Hale (1822–1909) could clue them in.

    “Breathes there the man, with soul so dead,
    Who never to himself hath said,
    This is my own, my native land!”

  2. I would have thought the dramatic arts were fairly dodgy from an Islamic point of view, though I could see the Merchant of Venice having some appeal to muslims.

  3. To be expected in Britain these days…

    And nothing will change, until mainstream Brits feel frustrated enough about the RoP, that they’re prepared to (shock, horror) talk about it, ridicule it (in the best traditions of British humour) and organise against it.

    Which of course, threatened with having the dreaded R-word directed against them, they’ll want to avoid at all costs, in favour of focusing on safer topics, like TV or football.

    And so the circle closes… until something so drastic happens, that they have no option but to open up, and read up, about the subject.

  4. It’s part of how real estate is claimed by the Ummah. They’ve done the same, with useful idiots in vestments at hand, most everywhere. It’s Shariah.

    A is S and M(lol) was his P.

    • ‘useful idiots ‘

      (apologies in advance for rather long reply to a short comment)

      Charles the Useful is an exemplar – he accepted a ‘gift’ from then head of Saudi Intelligence, Prince Bandar- (imagine that reversed),
      to build an Islamic centre at the heart of Oxford, which is fronted by Prince Al-Waleed Bin Talal- the alleged front-man for Saudi Foreign affairs and sovereign wealth.
      I seem to recall a poem was mentioned as if it was a joke (perhaps someone more erudite than I, will recall who wrote it) that said Islam will never be at the heart of Oxford.
      The British Council and the FCO, were instrumental in what was described as “building a shared future” placing Islam at the centre of British education, with an “comprehensive educational outreach programme” to “improve radically knowledge and understanding of Islamic civilisation and of Muslims in Britain among policy-makers, the general public, and students of all ages”
      http://www.ed.ac.uk/literatures-languages-cultures/alwaleed/about/our-objectives
      Unsurprisingly an uncritical Disneyfied religion of peace is being disseminated.
      The first centre in Oxford (several have followed) was built on a green site, against the wishes of the faculty.
      When it opened Charles gave his, ‘through Islamic spiritual thought’ we can save the planet speech.
      So not only spectacularly naive it seems but a flaming hypocrite to boot.

      Meanwhile the Saudi National Curriculum has lessons on jihad, encourages violence and directs children to believe, they may have to oppress others with violence and even destroy them psychologically, to defend Islam.

      It’s a disgrace Saudi Arabia is anywhere near the British education system.

      It reveals just how compromised the British establishment is, while Western children (it’s not just the UK) are taught myths of multikulti Cordoba and other historical revisionism, omissions and inventions around the religion of peace.
      It all leaves them singularly unprepared for the coming decades.

  5. The man William from Stratford as presented is a fraud perpetuated.

    “…
    wine loved I deeply, dice dearly: and in woman
    out-paramoured the Turk: false of heart, light of
    ear, bloody of hand; hog in sloth, fox in stealth,
    wolf in greediness, dog in madness, lion in prey.”

    Edgar in King Lear

  6. It’s a public space. So it would be legal to sit on one of those benches and play Christian choral hymns on a ghetto blaster whilst eating slices of ham, holding a large dog on a leash.

    • “Why is Australia apparently so far ahead of Britain?”
      One hopes the Aussies are far behind Britain in islamization, but according to my brother in Melbourne, Oz is far ahead in halal-certification–SHAME!!

        • Yes, I’m hoping that, due our increasing trade with China, the Chinese insist on non-halal. Unlikely, I suppose…

        • Yes it is, lamb and beef. My brother says at times it’s difficult not to buy products which have been halal-cursed in OZ.
          I don’t know the NZ situation any more, family has died out, only my brother left, and he moved to OZ years ago.
          Baucent should know the situation as it applies to supermarkets.
          The halal problem is not bad here in Canada, but companies who give in to the moslems are becoming sly, and we need to be ultra-careful.

          • We are fortunate to live in an area where the beef and lamb are grown locally – only ten miles or fewer from the pasture to the butcher…and the lamb arrives on Wednesday. We have to go to town to buy it.

            Local beef can be had in our county, as can pork.

            The latter is the free roaming kind that eats mostly acorns and other forage. In the heat of summer or deep of winter, the owners supplement their feed.

            Beeves aren’t entirely grass fed, but they finish the last several months on it prior to slaughtering time. Local farmers don’t know what “halal” is but the information will eventually spread. Such knowledge will allow them to raise the price of their finished product while simply sticking to their usual methods of slaughter.

            Sounds like a win for them – small farms are a whole lot of work for families.

          • I have a local(-ish) butcher- 20 mins or so by bus- where I get most of my meat; it costs a little more than at Tesco, but tastes better and is not halal. Tesco’s NZ lamb is halal, but not labelled.

  7. This is a tickler and it is as simple as this for the mindless few who don’t find this disturbing, (I am writing for a former friend of mine who hasn’t yet learned that no very sorry Islam is not a religion like other religions – I’m talking to you Steve – who by the way didn’t finally figure out that Castro was a low life totalitarian and mass murder until about 10 years ago), most religions are okay with other religions as long as said other religions don’t try to impose their views on others; the refusal to abide by social norms such as this example of insisting by your actions on making a big to-do over disturbing the landscape of others so as to show how your religion doesn’t have to respect generally respected norms, speaks volumes about those willing to refuse to follow those norms. I can’t think of any other group of religious people, even those of the Shinto religion, who would impose their stupid (there I said it) views which simply confirms that there are no bounds whatsoever to their aggressive religion. I am happy to say that the few Muslims I know in my neighborhood seem to go along with the proper respect most of the other religions deserve. Other then possible death threats, and of course long time connections to others in their religions community, I sometimes wonder why they simply don’t up and quit the R.O.P.

    • “Other then possible death threats, and of course long time connections to others in their religions community, I sometimes wonder why they simply don’t up and quit the R.O.P.”

      In sharia, apostasy carries the death penalty. So unless the external social pressure to leave exceeds the internal social pressure to stay, they won’t make an outward change, regardless of what they actually believe.

      The social pressure to leave therefore needs to made unbearable. The way to do that is to make it abundantly clear that Islam is to be viewed as a terrorist cult and NOT as a religion. Muslims-in-name-only are not to be trusted, because who knows what influences can be brought to bear on them in a crisis?

      • Your last sentence says it all, and that’s why they can never be trusted, and therefore have no place in western society.

  8. Take a look at the matching prayer rugs – they likely were not brought individually from private homes, but probably came from a mosque, or a Muslim community gathering place. They were then transported to Shakespeare’s birthplace in cars (there appear to be too many Muslimas present to fit into one vehicle) or in a minivan or bus. I doubt that each person carried her own prayer rug around the site, as they are cumbersome. When prayer time approached the more usual response by these women, “caught” in public as they were, would have been to retire to a secluded spot for their prayers, to avoid being seen by males.

    However, it appears that instead of returning to the parking lot, or going to a nearby park and finding an out-of-the-way spot, these women chose to pray in the open in what appears to be the courtyard of a major British cultural site. Someone must have been sent to fetch the matching prayer rugs from the vehicle when instead the whole group could simply have moved on to a more private spot.

    Since Muslim women typically pray at home or in their segregated space within a mosque, and since they are discouraged from prostrating themselves when males are present, it’s not likely that “devout” Muslimas such as these appear to be would be caught in a public place at prayer time … unless …

    No doubt about it: this was pre-planned. The place and time were chosen for maximum supremacist impact.

    • it could have been a muslim class with the fat one as their teacher. they came prepared with the rug. they knew exactly what they were doing…

    • I was looking for the sensitive infidel standing in front of them saying “bow to me, prostrate yourselves and worship William the great Christian poet”,,,,, “a little lower, total submission” etc etc

    It’s a public space. So it would be legal to sit on one of those benches and play Christian choral hymns on a ghetto blaster whilst eating slices of ham, holding a large dog on a leash.

    I really like the way you think. Should it be necessary, recruit blind people or folks with HUGE service dogs for this purpose. If anything, time the feeding schedule of these pets so that they will need to defecate conspicuously (and are scrupulously picked-up-after).

    Also, make sure the pork products (e.g., open face sandwiches, over-stuffed butties with lots of dripping bacon jutting out), are especially obvious, odoriferous and aromatic. Whatever you do, NEVER EVER forget to bring copious quantities of Mr Brain’s Nice & Tasty Pork Faggots. Always ensure that the wrappers are legible from every visible angle.

    Even though I am not a Christian, I suggest hymns (preferably sung aloud) with the strongest possible “Crusader” themes like, “Onward Christian Soldiers”, and so forth. Forcibly rub their Islamic snouts (and ears) into exactly whose turf it is that they’re trespassing upon.

    However you do it, get there early and set up “picnic blankets” replete with partially carved hams and other blatantly haram foodstuffs. Full-up pig’s heads would be even nicer. Oh, and always, always, always make sure to spread the “picnic blankets” directly over whatever precise location it was that the Muslims were “praying” at last time around.

    When departing, I’d even go so far as to “accidentally” spill some beer on these spots so that they began to reek a bit after repeated visits. Even if it’s just “near beer” (to avoid any statutes regarding public alcohol consumption), GO FOR IT! There’s little likelihood that the Muslims will twig to this strategy. Plus, even near beer has a slight degree of proof to it that will surely get their Islamic knickers wound up in the usual tightly twisted knots.

    Don’t forget to hold readings, preferably by people with Stentorian voices, of any relevant Shakespearean passages that mention Christ, Christianity, Jews, pork, pigs (including all other forms of haram food or whatever), dogs, urinating, urinating-dogs (you get the idea), alcohol consumption (e.g., “How now, sot?” — Sir Toby Belch — Twelfth Night: Act 1, Scene 5, Page 6). Be sure to “ham” it up and chew on the scenery for maximum impact.

    Great observations, all! More’s the reason to spill lots of (near) beer so that their “prayer” rugs might begin to smell a bit! You know the drill.

  10. A few years ago I was in Manchester with my daughter attending football (soccer to you Americans) trials for a women’s football team. It was a huge complex with many football pitches. On one pitch not connected to the women’s trials, half way through the game, the prayer mats came out and a number of the men ostentatiously began their ‘praying’.

  11. “It’s laid down in Islamic doctrine that when in non-Muslim countries you bide your time and fit in with the local conditions until you’re strong enough and numerous enough to assert yourselves. ”

    It is all relative. If you are weak they don’t have to be as strong. .
