This week, on September 13, in Central London, a march titled The Free Speech Festival will commence at Stamford Street and end at Whitehall, followed by speeches featuring British media personalities, commentators and right-wing public figures calling for the end of the Islamization of Europe.
What has sparked this pervasive social upheaval? The Daily Telegraph recently reported that one million people in the U.K. don’t speak English. For fully half the school children in England, English is not their primary language. White children are a minority in one of every four schools and make up less than two percent of the students in nearly 500 schools.
Integration appears hopeless. There are 150 Sharia courts throughout the country. Why speak the Queen’s language if a caliphate is just around the corner?
U.K. cities such as London, Sheffield, Birmingham and Luton not only have Muslim mayors, but Muslim city councils.
There is a widespread feeling that European culture—an entire way of life—is disappearing. And the decision to undergo this change was made by leftist elites without the public’s consent.
All of Europe is looking inward. Sweden’s white population will be the minority by 2040. In its most recent census, fewer than 40 percent of the population in the U.K. self-identified as Christian. Before too long, open borders and fanatical multiculturalism will leave Europe with Muslim majorities and buyer’s remorse.
Who knows whether this backlash would have taken hold without rising crime. Europeans are sickened by an epidemic of gangraping Muslim men, called “grooming gangs,” who believe the Koran grants them carte blanche privileges to rape infidel women—in broad daylight! This has happened to thousands of white women in the U.K. and across the continent. There is also gang violence, acid attacks, car rammings, and public stabbings.
When and if apprehended, these assailants are soon released or given light sentences. Why? Well, judges, apparently, attribute these heinous crimes to “cultural differences.” Sometimes courts blame 12-year-old girls for seducing Muslim men! Anything to avoid charges of Islamophobia and antagonizing wrathful, maniacal Muslims.
Talk about moral relativism on crack.
Church fires are on the rise, too. This year alone:150 in the U.K., 68 in Canada, 60 in Germany. Over 1,000 churches in France have been vandalized.
Take a guess who the arsonists are. It’s not the Jews. It’s those with an open contempt for infidels and apostates. The same people who established Sharia patrols to supervise un-Islamic behavior—hassling European women for their dress and homosexuals for their mere existence.
And if you complain about it, criticize Islam, look at the Koran the wrong way, or offer a contrary opinion about the virtues of diversity, you can end up in jail for hate speech. That’s why this Saturday’s U.K. rally is called The Free Speech Festival.
But what about accusations of Islamophobia, which seem to shut down all honest conversations about Islam’s intolerance for the West? The word is mostly defined as an irrational hatred. The hatred of Muslims is irrational and flatly wrong. If it results in discrimination, it is also patently illegal. But the fear of Islam is not irrational; it is real. And fear is the more common understanding of a “phobia.”
Look around the world. Where do we see beheadings and dismemberments, suicide bombings, lashing of women, teaching children to slit throats, the hanging of homosexuals?
Antisemites scream genocide against Israel and placate Palestinians because, among other reasons, they are terrified to confront the easily provocable violence that lurks much closer to home.
Is the United States far behind? There are calls to prayer in the middle of the street in Philadelphia. A female Islamic professor from Minnesota just called for the dismantling of the United States.
Dearborn, Michigan, where most of the population is Muslim; Patterson, Prospect Park, and Montgomery, New Jersey; Bell, California—all have Muslim mayors and nearly all-Muslim city councils.
Not even one condemned what Hamas and Gazan civilians did on October 7, 2023. Nor have any called for the release of the Israeli and American hostages.
Oh, have I mentioned that New York City, home to the largest population of Jews in the United States, is about to elect a Muslim mayor who believes that “Globalize the Intifada!” is not a rallying cry for jihad, but a harmless gesture of support?
