Sandhurst 'betrays' heroes of Mons - for £3m donation from the King of Bahrain

Britain continues down the path of self-dhimmitude by selling out it's military heritage to two Muslim kingdoms for a mere few millions of pounds sterling.  Buying their way into Western societies is just one of the means the Islamists have adopted as part of the stealth jihad to impose Sharia on all of humanity.  Other means of stealth jihad include propaganda jihad through the building and staffing of thousands of mosques with rabid Wahhabis, financial jihad through changes to the banking systems, political jihad through the ballot box, demographic jihad through Muslim population growth, legal jihad through the parallel judicial systems of official and unofficial Sharia courts and law fare through suing over any and all imagined "insults" to Islam or Muslims in general.

All the facets of stealth jihad are played off against the fears of violence by the "militant" members of Islam who commit acts of terrorism against Western societies to instill obedience to Muslim overlords.  Between stealth jihad and violent jihad, the West is on the run with it's figurative tail between it's legs and head plowed firmly into the sand.

Controversial: Britain's top military academy, Sandhurst, has come under fire for renaming a sports hall commemorating a First World War battle after the King of Bahrain. British soldiers are pictured at Mons

Britain’s top military academy, Sandhurst, has come under fire for renaming a sports hall commemorating a First World War battle after the King of Bahrain.

The Mons Hall – named after the 1914 battle where thousands died  – will have its name changed to  honour the Bahraini monarch who has given millions in funding to the Army’s officer training college.

The building will now be called King Hamad Hall and will reopen next month after being refurbished thanks to a £3?million donation from the king, who is the patron of the Sandhurst Foundation but is known for brutally repressing demonstrators at home.

Sandhurst has also accepted a  £15?million donation from the United Arab Emirates to build a new accommodation block, raising questions about the college’s links with authoritarian Gulf states accused of human rights abuses.

Critics say the Army is betraying the soldiers who gave their lives and that Bahrain and the UAE are trying to avert criticism of their regimes by buying silence with donations.

The 1914 Battle of Mons was the first major battle of the war. Against  overwhelming odds, the British Army inflicted 5,000 casualties on the Germans. At least 1,600 British troops were killed.
