"I For One Welcome Our New Insect Overlords..."

Time Out London does a piece on how they imagine an Islamic Britain...

It’s the capital’s fastest growing religion, based on noble traditions and compassionate principles, yet Islam can still be tainted by mistrust and misunderstanding. Here Time Out argues that an Islamic London would be a better place

My favorite part is...
Inter-faith relations
In an Islamic London, Christians and Jews – with their allegiance to the Bible and the Talmud – would be protected as ‘peoples of the book’. Hindus and Sikhs manage to live alongside(???) a large Muslim population in India, so why not here? Although England has a long tradition of religious bigotry against, for instance, Roman Catholics, it is reasonable(??!!) to assume that under the guiding hand of Islam a civilised accommodation could be made among faith groups in London.
Ah, yes. The lion will lie down with the lamb and.......oh wait...that's the Bible.

Well at least I'm sure the trains will run on time.
