These are not ranked in any particular order, and there are many other culprits besides these. But when Britain completes its descent into madness, these people can stand up and take a bow. My latest at PJ Media:
With 600 Muslims from the United Kingdom now making up over twenty-five percent of the foreign jihadists fighting for the Islamic State, and many vowing to return and wage jihad at home, it is not reckless to predict that Britain’s future is dark. For those 600 are just the tip of the iceberg of an untold number of jihad supporters and sympathizers in the country now. Indeed, there are twice as many British Muslims fighting for the Islamic State as there are in the British armed forces. And with unrestricted immigration policies, more are arriving all the time.
So it must be asked: who lost Britain?
1-3. Tony Blair, Gordon Brown, and David Cameron.
In December 2010 there were an estimated 2,869,000 Muslims in Britain – up from 1,647,000 in 2001. That’s an increase of 74 percent. This is the direct result of the immigration policies implemented and pursued by three successive British prime ministers, Tony Blair, Gordon Brown and David Cameron.
Those immigration policies were fueled in part by the naïve and roseate view of Islam that Blair energetically proffered, saying in 2007 that “to me, the most remarkable thing about the Koran is how progressive it is,” and in 2008: “I regularly read the Koran, practically every day,” and the Islamic prophet Muhammad had been “an enormously civilizing force.” The immigrants were considered to be bringing that “enormously civilizing force” to Britain, and consequently no attempt was made to determine whether any of them held jihadist sentiments or believed that Islamic law should supplant British law.
Only now that a significant number of those immigrants and their children are waging jihad for the Islamic State is Cameron is swinging into action. (It is, of course, far too late: in December 2010, when a poll revealed that 40% of Muslims in Britain wanted Sharia and 33% supported killing for Islam, the government did nothing.) Last week he proposed, according to the BBC, that legislation be “drawn up to give the police statutory powers to confiscate the passports of suspect terrorists at UK borders.” But apparently aware that there was hardly any chance that British jihadis would not be allowed back into the country, at the same time he proposed that returning jihad terrorists be “required to undergo de-radicalisation programmes.” Such programs have failed spectacularly to turn jihadis away from jihad in Indonesia and Saudi Arabia, but maybe the British have a magic key that will make them succeed.
4-5. Theresa May and the UK Home Office.
But they probably don’t. After all, in recent years the British government has not shown itself to be particularly discerning when it comes to jihadists and Islamic supremacists. British government officials worked with Islamic supremacists that they deluded themselves into thinking were “moderates,” allowing them to gain immense influence over the government and media. The British government funded Tell MAMA, a group of liars who exaggerated claims of Muslim victimhood, allowing them to propagate throughout the country the false charge that Muslims were under siege in Britain from a veritable army of violent “Islamophobic” louts.
In legitimizing the unsavory group Tell MAMA, the British government gave its validation to the Leftist/Islamic-supremacist narrative that opposing jihad terror amounted to “racism” and “bigotry.” It completely internalized that narrative, ignoring for years an Islamic supremacist takeover of public schools and the victimization of thousands of British girls by Muslim rape gangs, so as to avoid accusations of “racism.”
The UK Home Office, particularly under the dubious leadership of Home Secretary Theresa May, grew so myopic regarding jihad terrorism that in 2013 – after a smear campaign spearheaded by far-Left and Islamic supremacist groups, including Tell MAMA — it banned Pamela Geller and me from the country for daring to suggest that Islam has a doctrine of violence against unbelievers, as well as because of our support for Israel.
Just days before we were banned, May’s Home Office admitted Saudi Sheikh Mohammed al-Arefe. Al-Arefe has said: “Devotion to jihad for the sake of Allah, and the desire to shed blood, to smash skulls, and to sever limbs for the sake of Allah and in defense of His religion, is, undoubtedly, an honor for the believer. Allah said that if a man fights the infidels, the infidels will be unable to prepare to fight.” More recently, the Home Office admitted Libya’s grand mufti, Sheikh Sadiq Al-Ghariani, who, according to the Telegraph, has been accused of “using the UK as a base from which to help orchestrate the takeover of his home country by extremist militias with ideological links to the brutal Islamic State fighters in Syria and Iraq.”
6-8: The British Left: Nick Lowles and Matthew Collins of Hope Not Hate, and Fiyaz Mughal of Tell MAMA and Faith Matters.
To have opposed the entry of al-Arefe (who has finally been banned, after I repeatedly excoriated the Home Office for its pro-jihad leanings) and al-Ghariani would have been “racist” – and there is nothing worse that anyone can be in Britain today. It was revealed last week that 1,400 British non-Muslim children were gang-raped and brutalized by Muslims in one city alone, and “several staff described their nervousness about identifying the ethnic origins of perpetrators for fear of being thought as racist; others remembered clear direction from their managers not to do so.”
The Muslim rape gangs went unreported, unprosecuted, and in general unstopped because of far-Left organizations like Hope not Hate, Faith Matters, and Tell MAMA, which waged relentless war against anyone and everyone who spoke out about these issues. They demonized as “Islamophobic,” “hateful” and “bigoted” anyone who said that there were Muslim rape gangs at all, and that they had to be stopped. (Incidentally, when these groups led the campaign to ban Pamela Geller and me from entering Britain, one of the events we had discussed going to was a rally against the rape gangs. And despite smearing us as hatemongering equivalents of British jihadist Anjem Choudary, Hope not Hate’s Nick Lowles, when challenged on the BBC, could not come up with a single “hateful” statement I have ever made in 13 books, hundreds of articles, and over 40,000 blog posts.)
Meanwhile, search for “grooming” (these gangs are usually called “grooming gangs” in the British media) at Hope not Hate’s site, and you will see that a significant percentage of the articles mentioning this practice are attacking those who are calling attention to it and protesting against it.
Who, then, is responsible for the Islam-based mass gang-rape of British girls? The British Left — in particular the “anti-hate” crusaders Lowles and Matthew Collins of Hope not Hate, Fiyaz Mughal of Faith Matters and Tell MAMA, and their friends, supporters, and allies.
The lives of 1,400 girls are ruined today because of these men. If Britain were even close to being a sane society today, these people would be being subjected to scorching criticism, and there would be a thorough public reevaluation of how much the Left’s alliance with Islamic supremacism and smear campaign against foes of jihad terror has harmed the nation and its people.
But Britain is not a sane society today, and these sinister individuals — Lowles, Collins, Mughal, and the rest of them — will continue to wield their considerable power and influence there.

Is Britain lost?
Some claimed the same thing during the Blitz by the Nazis.
Yes, Islam is a serious threat.
But Islam is also seriously vulnerable.
As Saleem pointed out recently in a quote
Here is a recent statement from a group of Bangladeshi apostates living in the UK explaining the reasons why they have abandoned Islam:
“One who claims to be a messenger of God is expected to live a saintly life. He must not be given to lust, he must not be a sexual pervert, and he must not be a rapist, a highway robber, a war criminal, a mass murderer or an assassin. One who claims to be a messenger of God must have a superior character. He must stand above the vices of the people of his time. Yet Muhammad’s life is that of a gangster godfather. He raided merchant caravans, looted innocent people, massacred entire male populations and enslaved the women and children. He raped the women captured in war after killing their husbands and told his followers that it is okay to have sex with their captives (Qur’an 33:50). He assassinated those who criticized him and executed them when he came to power and became de facto despot of Arabia. Muhammad was bereft of human compassion. He was an obsessed man with his dreams of grandiosity and could not forgive those who stood in his way…
gfmucci says
Islam seriously vulnerable?
Despite what a group of less than trust-worthy taqiyya-inspired Bangladeshi apostates might have said as a form of misdirection, it boils down to this:
As long as western nations, and especially their leaders, remain ignorant, fearful, or complicit concerning Islam, they are basically screwed. It appears that infiltration and fear motivates British policy at this point. What else could it be?
What is happening in Britain is very much like the ending of a book I just read: The Day, by John Price.
Jay Boo says
“taqiyya-inspired Bangladeshi apostates” ???
Calling Muhammad a sexual pervert is not taqiyya
It is a historical truth
Instead of throwing in the towel we should use the towel of truth to clean out our house of collaborators.

What is “Grooming” in this context? It sounds like repeatedly
raping a girl until her Soul is crushed. The Brits really need
to start hanging these guys or the Islamist will just start
sending “Demands” that the Brits just “Deliver” their women
to them.
BC says
FYI the term grooming refers to the techniques which paedophiles use to gain control over usually vulnerable young girl. It usually employs plying them with fattery and convincing them that their parents are their enemies who do not care about them whereas the paedophiles have their best interests at heart. It also involves plying them with gifts such as cigaretttes, alcohol and sometimes drugs to assist with mind control.
Often this begins with contact over the internet.
The term seduction would apply equally.

“Some claimed the same thing during the Blitz by the Nazis.”
Yes, but the Nazi’s were not living within Britain and were not employed in all levels of government and society. Britain is lost. I read some figure a few months ago that London now has a 53% Muslim population. You can see it if you visit. Its that bad.
Neil Jennison says
I can make no claims as to the accuracy of Wikipedia but it says that 2011 census reveals that 12.4% of the population of London claim to Muslims and that constitutes 40% of the total Muslim population of the UK.

Is Britain lost already? No of course not. But it will be if things don’t change.
There is still time for the population to wake up and INSIST Islamic immigration is banned.
As to culprits – yes I would agree with everything Robert Spencer wrote. Blair undoubtedly the worst of the lot who brought in these immigrants for pure party political interest and to “rub the right’s noses in diversity”.
Did Blair read THE SAME Qu’ran that the rest of have read? Civilising influence? Give me strength!
Tim says
I doubt you live in Britain. Trust me, Britain is lost. If they don’t start deporting Muslims soon there is no way they will not turn into an Islamic society. Tourists are shocked at the volume of Muslims in the country. The entire demographics have transformed in a very short time.
Neil Jennison says
Indeed I do live in England. Though not in an area with a Muslim population.
Guy Macher says
During the Blitz the British were led by a government which understood that Nazis were evil. It was a dire situation but the British had no thought of surrender. Totally different situation today.

It is hard to imagine Churchill rolling over and surrendering like Cameron has…….or believing the tosh about cuddly, moderate Muslims.
In fact are there ANY mainstream politicians in the UK who are willing to speak the truth about Islam?
thomas_h says
“It is hard to imagine Churchill rolling over and surrendering like Cameron has…”
It’s even harder to imagine Brits in Churchill’s days rolling over and surrendering to someone like Cameron.
Neil Jennison says
Indeed so. But we in England have had our Englishness subjugated by our own government for 20 odd years.
English culture and pride has been suppressed on the altar of multiculturalism, while Scottish and Welsh culture along with that of all the immigrant communities has been celebrated and promoted often at taxpayers’ expense.
So there is a culture of being considered racist for even suggesting that Islam is anything other than a force for peace and harmony and freedom in the world.
Neil Jennison says
Churchill was half American too!
thomas_h says
“So there is a culture of being considered racist for even suggesting that Islam is anything other than a force for peace and harmony and freedom in the world.”
Unfortunately Neil, the “culture” is not limited to England. It has established itself all over the continent as the supreme moral dogma protected with modern blasphemy laws – or “hate speech laws”.
Don McKellar says
Tony Blair…sigh.
I just wish somebody would have asked Tony Blair, or would ask Tony Blair in an interview to put into “context” those violent passages of evil in second half of the Koran that ISIS and AL Queda and all the rest use to justify their actions. Tony Blair should be able to explain how they got it wrong. After all, he said he read the Koran practically every day.
Pffft!

As I have said before, Blair has an advanced case of the mental illness “I say it therefore it is true” syndrome.

I would have to add the royal family to the top of the list. They may not have any political power per se, but they can certainly influence a a lot of people. Queen Elizabeth II is going to be reviled for ages by Brits for her criminal silence.
An Unhappy Camper says
Two things first the UK is doomed deal with. The UK has allowed millions of Muslims and the radicals see British cowardice, Political Correctness and decadence and feel they have the wind in their sails. The vast majority of Brits are not affected by radical Islam, so they keep quiet, but that day is coming. Second British leadership like American leadership is useless. Have a happy nightmare.
Neil Jennison says
I think that is correct absolutely. The vast majority of UK Muslims live in what can best be described as self set up ghettos in cities. So most kafir do not have much to do with them.

I never expected to live long enough to see a British politician lick the bums of muslims in that cringe inducing display of surrender. What happened to our ‘Bulldog spirit’ and where is the determination to protect and preserve our traditional way of life?

BC says
Following the death threats made against One Law for All during Tuesday’s talk at Queen Mary University, (which were extended to members of the audience and caused the meeting to be shut down), ‘Stop Islamization of America’ director Robert Spencer, who also runs the website ‘Jihad Watch’, has initiated an email campaign to try and discredit our work in combating Islamism. He has also published an article on the subject to which this statement is a response.
Mr. Spencer’s ‘points’ can be summarised thus: 1) Maryam Namazie is a communist, 2) she is also an anti-semite, 3) One Law for All have “libelled” and published lies about Mr. Spencer “and others” which we “refuse to retract”, and 4) the death threats we received were made by “one gang of thugs” on “another” as part of a “turf war.”
That Maryam Namazie is now and has long been a member of a communist party, namely the Worker-communist Party of Iran, is common knowledge and is not something she would ever deny, (nor do I think she should be expected to). Someone will have to break it to Mr. Spencer that not all communists want to “enslave people in gulags and shoot them in the back of the head for being ‘enemies of the people’.” He really ought to have got this right by now, especially since he likes to portray himself as a historian. But then given his views on Muslims, it’s clear nuance is not a part of his repertoire. [Here is Maryam’s response to Mr. Spencer.]
Spencer’s charge of anti-semitism is based solely, from what I can tell, on the fact that in 2008 Maryam published on her blog a polemical statement by an Iraqi communist party on the Gaza war, which called for an end to the violence there, a ‘two-state solution’, and condemned both Israeli policy and “the barbaric Islamic movement Hamas, which spares no opportunity to fire rockets at Israeli populated neighborhoods.” If Mr. Spencer is going to make accusations of anti-semitism, he had better have more persuasive evidence than this. The idea that Maryam Namazie has a racist attitude towards Jewish people is absurd, as Mr. Spencer knows perfectly well, as is his claim that she supports “the jihad against Israel.” Her record of opposing the forces of Jihad wherever they operate is second-to-none, and includes demonstratingagainst the Khomeinist ‘al-Quds day’ parades of Hamas and Hezbollah. (Mr. Spencer’s comrades were conspicuous by their absence.)
If Mr. Spencer insists on posing as defender of the Jewish people, he may want to ask his colleague Pamela Geller to stop comparing Jewish journalists, Rabbis and the Community Security Trust to Nazi appeasers when they speak out against the anti-Muslim rallies of the English Defence League and Stop Islamisation of Europe.
People are welcome to consider the language of the LWPI’s Gaza statement to be hyperbolic or to take issue with its assertions. But Mr. Spencer is hardly in a position to be making such criticisms. A mere glance at the output of SIOE, for example, (which is the umbrella group that entrusted SIOA to Spencer and Geller in 2010), will reveal it to be the kind of material that most people avoid like the plague.
There is also a distinction to be made between exaggerating the deaths of civilians to try and arrest their suffering, and recommending the murder of civilians including women and children, as did SIOA board member John Joseph Jay in 2008.
Mr. Spencer has lied about this and much else repeatedly, despite the clear evidence for the charges as made, pretending his cohorts have dealt with the accusations already, linking to supposed refutations which do no such thing, and changing the subject to Israel, safe in the knowledge that there are enough useful idiots who will stop thinking when the word is mentioned.
The reason One Law for All have not “retracted” our claims about Mr. Spencer “and others” (to come to point three), is that what we have said is true.
A SIOA board member really did call for the “wholesale slaughter” of Muslim civilians, “down to the last Muslim, if necessary.” Mr. Spencer really did say that the EDL are champions of free speech and human rights who “deserve the support of all free people.” SIOA really is the American branch of a group that believes all Muslims are liars and “Nazis.” Pamela Geller really does say the international community fabricated the Srebrenica genocide in order to libel the “Christian Serbs.” Mr. Spencer really does publish the work of Milosevic fanciers on his website.
Given a record like this, it is Mr. Spencer who has charges to answer, and he would do well to start by clarifying his opinions:
– Does he agree with the leaders of SIOE that banning the Qur’an, a boycott of “Islamic countries” and the deportation of immigrants would “Stop the Islamisation of Europe”, (a political programme which he endorsed in 2007), and if so, does he recommend a similar remedy for the United States?
– Does Pamela Geller believe that President Obama is a secret Muslim (as she often implies), does she consider him to be an American-born citizen, and does Mr. Spencer agree or disagree with her on these matters?
– Does he accept the plain meaning of John Joseph Jay’s words? If so, are these remarks to be taken as representative of the SIOA board, (where Mr. Spencer has confirmed Jay holds a seat), and if not, in what way does he disagree with them? Why does he continue to work with a person who recommends mass murder?
– Does he consider the tactics of the EDL to be a useful way of combating Jihadism? Is anything done in the name of ‘anti-Jihad’ alright as far as he’s concerned?
– Does Mr. Spencer believe that there was a plan by the Milosevic forces to extirpate the Muslim population of Bosnia as part of their war for a Greater Serbia? Does he agree with Ms. Geller that any massacres of Bosnians which did take place were self-inflicted to bamboozle the western media?
(When confronted with what Geller had been saying, Mr. Spencer replied in typically evasive fashion that he thought it was a plausible theory. How does he expect to be taken seriously as a scholar of Islamic history when he can’t even get the 1990s right?)
– Why do hatred, bigotry, lies and paranoia run through everything Mr. Spencer does and says like Brighton through rock?
On Mr. Spencer’s last point – the suggestion that One Law for All are as thuggish as the men who interrupt our meetings – he undoes himself completely. By drawing a direct equivalence in this way, it seems Mr. Spencer can’t tell the difference between the issuers of death threats and victims of death threats. That is of course, if he honestly meant what he wrote, which would be a break with convention.
