“Big Ben has fallen,” tweeted Giulio Meotti, the Italian critic of Islam. Mr. Brexit, Nigel Farage, wrote: “This is the beginning of religious, sectarian politics in our country. It will get very ugly….By the 2029 general election we will have a radical Islamic party represented in Westminster.” And actor-turned-activist Laurence Fox commented: “Expect what happened today…to become a much more regular occurrence as Britain is bullied into submission.”
Exactly what did happen? On February 21, the Speaker of the House of Commons, Sir Lindsay Hoyle, made a ruling in violation of a recondite House rule that most British subjects had to have explained to them. The next day, the Daily Mail did just that. February 21 was, as it happens, an “Opposition Day” in the Commons, meaning that it was devoted to the discussion of issues raised by an opposition party, in this case the Scottish National Party – which, in an apparent attempt to highlight Labour Party divisions over the war in Gaza, offered a strongly pro-Palestinian motion calling for an “immediate ceasefire” and the release of hostages while also accusing Israel of targeting innocent Palestinians.
In response, Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer proposed an amendment that was less critical of Israel, while the Tory government presented its own amendment, which, in line with its current policy, defended Israel’s right to self–defense and called simply for a “humanitarian pause” in the fighting in Gaza. According to House rules regarding Opposition Day activities, only the latter amendment should have been entertained; but after some Labour MPs who didn’t like the SNP’s intensely anti-Israeli motion shared with Hoyle their fears that a vote against it would expose them to violence by Muslims – most of whom, until October 7, were a highly reliable voting bloc for Labour – Hoyle ordered that the House vote, first, on the Labour amendment; then, on the SNP motion; and, finally, on the Tory amendment.
This utterly irregular ruling caused outrage; the government withdrew its amendment, SNP and Tory MPs walked out, and the remaining MPs, in another rather irregular move, passed the Labour amendment by a voice vote. Hoyle later explained his radical departure from the rules by saying that he’d wanted to give MPs the “widest range” of choices and that he was worried about their “security.” This explanation pacified no one: he was accused of causing a constitutional crisis and (despite his officially neutral position) of doing Labour’s bidding, a charge that had led to the downfall of his predecessor, John Berkow. Many MPs demanded Hoyle’s resignation. In many quarters, the main takeaway from this drama was that Hoyle, by acting out of fear of MPs’ security, had taken British appeasement of Islam – which was already at a pretty pathetic level – to a dark new high.
Tory MP Suella Braverman, a tough customer (by British standards) who is the daughter of ethnic Indian immigrants from Mauritius and Kenya and who until last November was the cabinet secretary in charge of immigration, focused the blame not on Hoyle but on Starmer, tweeting that he’d handed Britain “one of the most shameful days of our democracy.” In a Telegraph article headlined “Islamists are bullying Britain into submission,” Braverman claimed that timid politicians who mouth empty slogans about multiculturalism are leading the country down the road to a society run by “the Islamists, the extremists and the anti-Semites” and governed in accordance with sharia law.
The podcaster Konstantin Kisin, who has been an outspoken critic of wokeness but who rejects the conservative label, agreed. In his own February 23 article for the Free Press website, he maintained that even the recent weekend street protests by violent anti-Semites enthusiasts “pale in comparison” to Hoyle’s pusillanimous capitulation to Muslim threats. Eight centuries after its founding, Kisin lamented, the Mother of Parliaments had, out of fear, abandoned its principles. “[I]t is now clear,” he wrote, “that Britain has a problem with Islamist extremism that requires immediate and drastic action….People who threaten violence should be arrested and locked up for a very long time….Foreign nationals who engage in, call for, fund, or glorify violence, religious hatred, or other violent extremism should be deported immediately.”
Good for Kisin – and for Braverman. Yet note that both of them insist on using the weasel word “Islamism” instead of admitting that the problem is Islam, period. This practice is virtually ubiquitous in Britain, even among the most forthright commentators on the subject. Allow to me to add that, despite Kisin’s statement that it’s “now clear” that Britain has an “Islamist extremism” problem, the fact is that this problem was clear to some of us a long time ago.
Kisin acknowledged this – kind of. “A lot of people,” he tweeted, owe Douglas Murray “an apology for ignoring, dismissing and maligning him for the brave warning he gave Europe and the West many years ago now” in The Strange Death of Europe (2007). Several of Kisin’s followers pointed out that warnings about the dangers of mass immigration had, in fact, been issued as far back as 1968, in the infamous “Rivers of Blood” speech by Enoch Powell – whose name is still toxic in the UK – and, in 1973, in The Camp of the Saints, by the equally radioactive French writer Jean Raspail. In later years, noted Kisin’s followers, the alarm was sounded by, among others, Pim Fortuyn (Against the Islamization of Our Culture, 1997), Oriana Fallaci (The Rage and the Pride, 2001), Mark Steyn (America Alone, 2006), yours truly (While Europe Slept, 2006), and Christopher Hitchens.
Some of Kisin’s followers also mentioned Tommy Robinson, who many years ago began kicking up a fuss about the Muslim rape gangs in many English towns and cities – gangs whose monstrous exploits were ignored for decades by the very same cops, journalists, judges, and civil servants who harassed, smeared, and imprisoned Tommy for daring to draw attention to those gangs, thereby supposedly threatening “social cohesion” and inciting “Islamophobia.” Even Kisin, sadly, has gone with the flow, happily interviewing people like Douglas Murray and Margaret Oliver about the rape gangs but consistently assuring the viewers of his “Triggernometry” podcast that he’d never give a platform to the likes of Tommy Robinson. It’s hard not to feel – and not for the first time – that if Tommy had a posh Oxbridge accent instead of sounding like the working-class Luton bloke that he is, he’d be treated a lot more gently, and taken a lot more seriously, by certain individuals.
Yes, I agree that many Brits owe an apology to my estimable and in every way extraordinary friend Douglas Murray – who in his recent reporting from Israel has been a world-class model of moral courage – as well as to the rest of us who’ve been smeared over the years for telling the truth about Islam. Similarly, British authorities owe an apology to the thousands of people who’ve been arrested in that country for criticizing Islam online (in just 2015 and 2016, there were over 6,000 arrests for being “offensive” on the Internet) and to the thousands of girls – many of them now women – who, after being victimized by rape gangs, have been further abused by officials who are unwilling to prosecute such crimes for fear of being called racists.
But if we’re talking about apologies, I daresay that Kisin himself, along with millions of his countrymen, owes a big one to Tommy Robinson, who for years has been disrespected, dismissed, and demonized for saying precisely the same things – no more and no less – that Kisin said the other day in his Free Press article.
I’m reminded that in 1982, when the influential intellectual Susan Sontag finally turned against Communism, famously calling it “fascism with a human face,” she described Hilton Kramer and others who’d been criticizing the USSR for decades as “premature anti-Communists.” Now that at least some members of the British establishment finally seem to be taking their heads out of the sand, are those of us who’ve been writing about this topic for years going to be described as having been prematurely anti-Islam?
Or will this episode, which so many people on the scepter’d isle are treating as a moment of truth – a turning point – prove to be yet another flash in the pan? After Sir David Amess, a Tory MP, was murdered in an October 2021 by a Somali Muslim terrorist, virtually all of his colleagues in the Commons came together – not to speak out against jihadist violence but to pretend, in a breathtaking display of rank cowardice, that his death had been caused by the abuse of social media (and needed to be addressed by cracking down on online anonymity). Earlier this month, another Tory MP, Mike Freer – whose offices were recently targeted with arson and who, during a meeting with constituents at a mosque, had to flee Muslims who called him a “Jewish homosexual pig” (for the record, he’s gay, but not Jewish) – announced that for his own safety he would be leaving Parliament. Imagine Churchill doing such a thing.
All this is happening, moreover, at a time when the British police have thoroughly abandoned the internationally admired (and copied) approach to modern policing that was introduced in the 19th century by Sir Robert Peel and have replaced it with a two-tier system under which hysterical calls for genocide by savage Muslims brandishing the Palestinian flag are respectfully tolerated even as native Brits who pray quietly on the street or wave the Union Jack are unceremoniously hauled off like the lowest of thugs.
One sign that some Brits’ sudden readiness to criticize Islam may not last terribly long is this: after MP Lee Anderson said in a February 23 interview that Islamists had “got control” of London mayor Sadiq Khan – who, like the last couple of mayors of New York, has prioritized far-left virtue signaling and the celebration of victim groups over crime-fighting – Khan denounced him for “pouring fuel on the fire of anti-Muslim hatred.” When Anderson (to his credit) refused to apologize, Tory bosses fired him as whip and suspended him from the party.
And, just as the political and media elites responded to the jihadist murder of David Amess by fixating on social media, Anderson’s remark enabled them to turn away from the implications of Hoyle’s actions and to double up on the tired claim that the real issue in Britain today is anti-Islamic prejudice. So it was that the execrable Guardian, on February 26, ran its thousandth-odd j’accuse by a Muslim writer – in this case, Tasnim Nazeer – slamming Anderson, Braverman, and other critics of Islam, however legitimate their observations, as right-wing bigots who incite anti-Muslim hate crime.
Of course, anti-Muslim hate crimes are an exceedingly minor distraction – barely a ripple on a pond – compared to the daily tsunami of Muslim offenses against infidels. But that doesn’t keep those pusillanimous progressives who make up the British establishment from embracing the comforting lie that the real threat to freedom, equality, and social harmony isn’t Muslim misbehavior but anti-Muslim bigotry. Does this sound like a country whose political establishment is, to any serious degree, prepared to stiffen its backbone in the face of Islamic intimidation? On the contrary, it’s a country whose movers and shakers, after registering with a degree of shock its latest disturbing step toward the abyss, are gutlessly retreating into the usual self-destructive self-delusions.

They disappeared after it was made illegal to have standing in the stadiums.
Jeff Bargholz says
Really? That’s too bad. They’re antics were funny in a violent way. Maybe you guys could invite some French or other foreign hooligans in with free tickets to games between your teams and theirs? And give then free pub vouchers in areas with the most islamopithecines.

David Ray says
True.
What’s sad is that book was written almost 2 decades ago . . . and was dutifully ignored by chickenshit politicians who continued to import pedophilic islam into London/England.
These shithead politicians knew what kind of refuse they were bringing in, because they made damned sure THEIR gated neighborhoods were not were islamists were dumped in.

It had always been on my bucket list to re-visit London and Westminster Abbey, and see the astonishing number of famous graves there. Now I will probably not make the effort..
David Ray says
It’s unfortunate to have to weigh such decisions.
An elderly couple did visit London awhile back. They both had to jump off a bridge when an islamist scumbag decided to wage jihad with his car.
The wife barely survived. The husband didn’t. Both were shrugged off & forgotten.
TRex says
Same here.. My mother’s family was from Oxford and I have cousins in London and Southampton. I hoped for years to visit there. Now that I’m retired and can afford it, I wouldn’t go if it were all expenses paid. It appears Britannia soon won’t even rule it’s own land.

Don’t these politicians realize that they are falling for the Muslim plan of taking over the world? How foolish can some people be; most Muslims will cut the throat of an infidel just for the sake of doing it.

Problem is that conservatives are rightly seeing this takeover. And what is an anathema to liberals is to admit that conservatives are right. So don’t count on liberals admitting the correctness of conservatives or aligning with them to ward off the Muslim invasion.
Jeff Bargholz says
“Liberals?” You mean illiberals. Illiberal to the point of fascist in countless instances. They’re all leftists to one degree or another.
Otherwise, yes.
Jeff Bargholz says
The politically correct and “woke” accommodation of foreign cultures, no matter how depraved, and assaults on ours is limitless. Leftism needs to be expunged although I have no idea how that can be done even though normal people are the distinct majority.
Jeff Bargholz says
He’s spinning like a top.
Wesley says
Not to mention people like Charles “The Hammer” Martel, who had the witherall to escort mohammadan’s out of Spain.

It’s fall of the Western Roman Empire bad, and it’s coming to America too, unless we as citizens do something to stop it. It’s high time we admit our government is the enemy of the people overall. America owes much of its culture and freedom to Britain, even though our ancestors fought theirs for independence. Greek, Roman, Judeo Christian, British to American, our culture is based on the best the world has ever produced but we’re squandering it. Or rather, a powerful minority of us are: leftists. All leftists from the mild ones who are just foolish Dirtbagocrat supporters to the wild eyed woketards and black supremacists. They’re intent on destroying thousands of years of accumulated wisdom, prosperity, security, honor, strength, art, literature, science, practical governance and everything else that comprises our formerly advanced society………..and every conservative knows that.
Maybe we should do something about it. My only suggestion for action is to volunteer at a polling station or whatever they’re called in November to help prevent vote fraud. Hell, because armed rebellion isn’t going to happen. I tried and failed to volunteer last month because of mail-in ballots.
It’s not like we can punch rabid Dirtbagocrats in the face. That’s illegal. BLM , Antifa and Dirtbagocrats in general are protected species in America. Besides, some of the most rabid D-Bag scumbags, like LeBron James, are much too big to try and punch.
Mo de Profit says
So a few so called conservatives pretend to raise the issue but they have done NOTHING to even slow down the mass migration of military age men from the Middle East and Africa into Britain.
They pretended to send them to Rwanda which was a joke.
It is now illegal to criticise Islam in the Uk as you state and NOBODY in the establishment gives a hoot.
Finally there is NO opposition in the UK the establishment has stitched everything up in collaboration with the EU and UN.

It’s happening here in the USA as well! For some “reason”, the Obiden regime is allowing other Nations to flood the USA with MILITARY AGE MEN! WHY? I fear that one day – probably right after PRESIDENT TRUMP regains office – that those of us who will PROTECT OUR NATION will be called upon due to the explosion of violence unleashed by the Biden/Obama minions!
England doesn’t stand much of a chance! How can they fend off the MOBS of mohammads with silly whistles?? At least there are HUNDREDS of MILLIONS of Americans who have weapons and most know how to use them! I don’t think there would be much enthusiasm to defend England for the THIRD time!

Nigel Farrage is very popular with conservatives and other normal people here in America. He speaks at nearly all the big conservative confabs and is a regular on Real America’s Voice and Newsmax.
It sucks that the EUrophiles and islamophiles in your government keep breaking your laws and betraying its citizens. It remiinds me of a certain administration and political party over here, both of which are abetted by a certain species of RINOs.
Richard Johnston says
After 9-11, I took CAIR up on its offer of a free Quran. I also read many books on the topic of Islam. (White Gold is a book about Muslims raiding Europe to take slaves and I highly recommend it.) Anyone familiar with the history of Islam should not be surprised by the violence committed in the name of Islam. For an entertaining read, read the footnote in the Quran sent by CAIR regarding “scholars'” disagreement about the meaning of the verse permitting a husband to hit one of his wives.
Wesley says
Just for grins, I would suggest a wider reading, and invest in
The Politically incorrect guide to Islam and the Crusades by Robert Spencer Regnercy Publishing.
Assuming our English cousins can still choose the reading material of their choice.
Jeff Bargholz says
Good advice.
I expect the CAIR version of the unholy koran is one of the expurgated ones, yes?

Once a camel gets his nose into the tent, he thinks the rest of him should come along. That’s why England is falling and America is tilting to a point of no return. It’s against our ethics to kill people unless there is no alternative. As the moral backbone of both countries is fractured, that last alternative may be gone.
Liberals want to hold hands with their own destroyers.
Ed Snider says
Just as Islamism is not the problem—Islam is—neither is Palestine the issue.The issue is the subjugation of the Jews, which is the theological heart of Islam. The Muslims rioting in London’s streets are outraged because the Jews have a country in their native land—a modern, prosperous nation state, to make matters worse—contradicting the quran’s dictate of dhimmi status for the Jews en route to their complete destruction at the hands of believers. Israel’s existence is an affront to Muslims’ belief that they are Allah’s “best people.” If the Jews can thrive despite the Muslims’ determined efforts at their ruin, it calls into doubt everything else in the Quran, which Muslims insist is Allah’s final revealed truth.There is no compromise available to the modern world with these beliefs.Britain is lying to itself in its thinking that selling out Israel to the primitives will bring domestic peace.
Alkflaeda says
Islamic theology has as many gaping holes as a pair of fishnet tights worn by a woman who walked home in her stockinged feet. One obvious example is that Mohammed claimed that the phrase “Allahu akbar” (Allah is greater”) would strike fear and terror into the heart of unbelievers. Problem is, in Hebrew an akbar is a mouse. So what the IDF hear is “Allah is a mouse”. Now, if Allah is identical with the God of the Bible (which he isn’t), he would be intelligent enough to know Hebrew. After all, Arabic cannot be so impoverished a language that it has only one word for “greater”.
Wesley says
There are so many glaring holes and gaps in the mohammadan religion that it is not even funny.
Amazing to think that according to the mohammadans:
The Jews had the first word of God and corrupted his word. (no word on how they did that). . so God then gave his word to Christians, and they too corrupted the word (again, no word on how they did that either)
Finally God got fed up and gave his revelations to old mohammad. . who would not fail. Of course old mohammad forgot to commit any of that to paper, as he could not write, yet many followers did scribble some of his sayings on bits of bark and such. You would think that God would at least strike some level of litteracy into someone he trusted to convey has word. (after being hoodwinked twice before!) How strange.
How amazing that God (who supposedly created the heavens and earth and “knew all”) did not see any of that coming, or that he had egg on his face twice and then trused a desert dwelling warmonger to convey his word.
Sure would be nice if God would come down himself to make his word known. . .How many others claim to have revealed his truth, and to their own personal enrichment. .Joseph Smith? Charlie Manson? Marshall Applewhite?
Sure seems religion is populated with those who claim to only be the only person who really understands what God wants for the world.
Roy Smith says
God has already told us, through the prophesy delivered by an angel what sort of man Ishmael would be and presumably his descendants; most Arabs will claim descendancy from Ishmael.
Genesis 16:11-12 AMPC
[11] And the Angel of the Lord continued, See now, you are with child and shall bear a son, and shall call his name Ishmael [God hears], because the Lord has heard and paid attention to your affliction. [12] And he [Ishmael] will be as a wild ass among men; his hand will be against every man and every man’s hand against him, and he will live to the east and on the borders of all his kinsmen.

Another quote from Churchill on Islam: “No stronger retrograde force exists in the world.

Walter Sieruk says
With the information from this ,above, article is need to be remembered that there is movement that is known as the “Stealth jihad.” The technique is practiced by Muslims who are also stealth jihadists to infiltrate the United Kingdom as well as other Western countries using lies and deception, Taqiyya, for the advancement of Islam with its Sharia.
This Muslim scheme for achieving the goal of the Islamic agenda is as, many times, as subtly effective as it is demonically clever. Furthermore, this Islamic gradualism, in some ways, is very similar to the instruction printed in the book entitled THE ART OF WAR by Sun Tzu. Which reads, “At first, then, exhibit the coyness of a maiden, until the enemy gives you an opening; afterwards emulate the rapidity of a running hare, and it will be too late for the enemy to oppose you.”
Jeff Bargholz says
Bareback Hasbeen Obama, Yahya Brennan and organizations such as CAIR know all about the infiltration, subversion, gradualism and demographic conquest you refer to, and are working toward that goal. It will never be achieved, though. I doubt it’ll be achieved in the UK, either, even though it’s much more vulnerable to it than America, mostly by self inflicted vulnerability.
Walter Sieruk says
The Muslim takeover of the United kingdom is the result of the Muslims who have and are still engaging the goal of stealth jihad for the advancement of Islam with its Sharia in the United Kingdom as well as in other Western countries is the means that known and called the “Stealth jihad.” By this this technique the Muslims who are the stealth jihadists are able to infiltrate the different nations of the West and gradually “ ,inch by inch” and likewise “step by step.” Further, archive progression for their Islamic agenda for Western nations.
To this end the stealth jihadists will and do use the Islamic of Taqiyya, which the modus operandi of speaks and printing lies that are very deceptive.
As explained in a more detail by a former Muslim and Hezbollah member who now a Christian .In his book he reveals” Lying , treachery and deception became Islam’s key tactics in conquering others. Those tactics are gathered in a doctrinal statement called “Taqiyya” which is one of the most effective arms for the spread of Islam. It means “Holy Deception” which means the use of every lie you can in order to spread Islam or to win the war against the enemy.” [1]

Sammy says
The tipping point in the UK was when Salman Rushdie wrote “The Satanic Verses” and gangs of Mohammedans roamed the streets, shouting that there was a fatwa calling for his death, and they were willing to carry it out! THAT was the moment when the British government should have stood up and said – NO! Instead they took the cowards’ way out, and the Mohammedans smelled weakness. That’s all they needed – once they understood the government was afraid of them, it was only a matter of time – a “stealth jihad” was inevitable – and here we are today.
I remember too how the British government banned Geert Wilders from entering the UK. A disgrace! Remember his little ten minute movie, “Fitna”?
Michael Savage? Banned.
Robert Spencer? Banned.

Alkflaeda says
The problem is not that there are no good Muslims, but that, whereas a practising Jew or Christian will act positively because of their faith, a good Muslim does so in spite of what the Koran teaches. The really faithful Muslims are those who behave in ways that are not good. This means that the ones that behave in ways that are good have to wrestle with a permanently bad conscience, which may lead them to turn a blind eye to the evil committed by others of their persuasion or even become enablers. The other possibility, of course, is that they are nominal Muslims who feel unable to leave due to the Islamic law that requires those who apostasise to be killed.
There are also those of our political masters who side with Islam because it is a useful wedge to deploy against Judaism and Christianity, never realising that Islam will not hesitate to bite the hand that has historically fed it. I had an example of an organisation that may be complicit with Islam’s aims only this morning. I was researching a reference to the sacred groves of classical Italy, and found a description of one that used the Greek word τέμενος (temenos). Since I was only looking for confirmation of what it meant, I put it into Google Translate instead of looking it up in a Greek dictionary. They gave me just one word as a translation – “mosque”. Not shrine, not place of worship – even synagogue might have been legitimate since there were synagogues in Roman times, just mosque. So now we know. All the great men and women amongst the ancient Greeks and Romans were great because they were Muslims. And the Siege of Troy was an example of successful jihad. I have complained to Google. I will probably receive a response that urges me to recognise the great good within Islam.
Wesley says
The accepted deffinition is different:
“A temenos (Greek: τέμενος; plural: τεμένη, temenē) is a piece of land cut off and assigned as an official domain, especially to kings and chiefs, or a piece of land marked off from common uses and dedicated to a god, such as a sanctuary, holy grove, or holy precinct.”

It’s like a severe gut punch to be reading about the destruction of Scotland (my ancestral home)! And here, we can only guess when the barbaric and sadistic Moon god followers will turn London into Londontinople!
Perhaps, they will first use Big Ben to sing out their 5 daily calls to prayer, but, of course, only after turning St. Paul’s Cathedral or Westminster Abbey (or both?) into moon god Mosques. But they are also WELL on their way here! They’ve infiltrated our military, schools, colleges, medical, FBI, CIA…., all while building Mosques up and down the Eastern seaboard, etc. They’ve apparently taken full control of Minneapolis, etc.! Americans(?) even voted 2-3 of them into our congress and are all brazenly and consistently spewing their hatred for all things American!! It’s only a matter of time before some traitorous Senator nominates one (they are NOT woke), so it certainly won’t be a man dressed up like a women) onto the Supreme Court, etc.! It now seems that with the ongoing flood of unknown criminals pouring into our ‘house’ (yes, every single person who crossed our border illegally IS A CRIMINAL)! As in the way of thinking of our forefathers, real Americans are now actually looking for the ‘good’ children of our forefathers to, at last, sound the alarm and rally those who can and will step up and push back? This barbaric and lethal enemy of our country, of our family’s future and of all of our very souls is not at our door, he is in the house!

It is too late for Britain. The consequences of their reckless immigration policy are already dire. In a relatively short time in history Britain has gone from being great to being a great mess.

Deport all Muslims, citizens or not, from the West. Islam is antithetical to everything America and the west stands for.
Islam continues to attack the Christian world for over 1400 years after Christianity was established peacefully in the middle east 600 years before militant and political islam was spawned from hell.

Before all you the Vaxxed Brits in the military die from self inflicted suicide, would you kindly deep six all your Nukes and destroy your nuke facilities before the grinning Muslims take over your barren land? Thank You!
Sorry, no entrance to Valhalla, a needle is not a sword!

I read the Quran and mentioned to a female friend that I disagree with the teachings in that book as it calls for violence and the killing of others that disagree with that teaching and it does not sound like it embraces tolerance love and compassion, she lives outside Munich and said that I am now a racist, however I told her I also disagree with the teachings in the Vatican, (not Christianity per se, just the wee Pope fella and his Pedo gang) and she then called me an islamophobe but not a Christianophobe..
This is a woman that walks around her home totally nude all the time, is often nude at the Lake or Beach and yet she tells me the muslim women she meets at the local Market are friendly towards her and that I am wrong about islam, meanwhile the muslim women she speaks with are covered up from head to toe so the muslim men will not get overly excited and rape them.
islamism is the new nazism.

You know the saying, “Satan’s greatest trick was to convince the world that he didn’t exist?” Well, his 2nd greatest was to get people to think of Islam as a race. And therefor any criticism is RACIST!
Siddi Nasrani says
We humans belong to the human race, Criticism cannot be racist as criticism is an observation of ones
behaviour & mannerism etc.
