Pat Condell - alive and kicking at YouTube
Pat Condell was not banned from YouTube but suspended pending. The pending is now pent and he's back with his video "Welcome to Saudi Britain":
Condell has released another video in the last week called "Stop Sharia law in Britain":
In many ways Condell still sees Islam through a glass darkly. He is inaccurate about the legal aspects of Sharia "courts" but right to be worried about them. He distrusts religion in general, and pays lip service - mental lip service, if there is such a thing - to the idea that Saudi Islam is a perversion of Islam. But the following statement shows that he has the measure of Islam. It is very British - reluctant to analyse but viscerally distrustful:
Like many people over the last eleven years, I've realised that a vote for Labour is a vote for Islam. And although I like and admire certain individual Muslims as people, I've seen enough of Islam to know that I don't want it anywhere near me, and I don't want any of its values enshrined in the country I live in.
Foreigners - and Muslims - don't understand the British, but this understated "Hmm, not sure what it is but I don't much like it" speaks volumes.
