It is perhaps appropriate that the House of Commons' Communities and Local Government Select Committee has decided to take the Commission on Integration and Cohesion's recently-published report "Our Shared Future" as the starting point of its current inquiry into Community Cohesion and Migration, not least as the previous Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government (Ruth Kelly MP) announced the creation of the Commission on Integration and Cohesion as a direct result of the spread of Islamic fundamentalism across the United Kingdom.

There are a number of points to make here. Firstly, one cannot help feeling how ironic it is that was Ruth Kelly who launched the Commission when she is not only the grand-daughter of the late Phil Murphy who was Quartermaster of the West Fermanagh IRA Battalion during the 1919-21 Irish War of Independence but she herself is a Member of Opus Dei (a conservative Roman Catholic sect), particularly when the IRA are still actively maiming and murdering our compatriots in Northern Ireland and the Church of Rome itself has done little, if anything, to excommunicate IRA members from its ranks or, unlike the Church of England, surrender control of its schools to the state (during the enactment of the 1944 Education Act) in order to facilitate (non-denominational) state schools in place of separate church schools.

Secondly, on the subject of church/faith schools, one cannot help feeling that Roman Catholic maintained schools are as much a breeding ground for hostility towards the Protestant succession to the British throne and our constitutional monarchy (as enshrined in the 1689 Bill of Rights and 1701 Act of Settlement) as state-funded Muslim schools are for nurturing Islamic fundamentalists intent on proclaiming jihad (holy war) on the indigenous population. Repeal of the Bill of Rights and/or Act of Settlement would reduce the status of the United Kingdom from being a sovereign nation-state to a Papal satellite as the monarch would no longer be our head of state but subservient to a foreign power (i.e., the Holy See), and should be fiercely opposed by all right-thinking people, lest our nation returns to the theocracy of the Dark Ages.

Thirdly, there is increasing evidence that indigenous Christians are being prosecuted or should one say persecuted by civil authorities (i.e., the police and the courts) for purportedly "inciting religious hatred", be it by open-air preaching of the Gospel or the distribution
