Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

From Brick Lane to Banglatown: They build minarets, we build bollards

Nov 24, 2018 2:20 pm By Joshua Winston

Brick Lane in London is quite historic. It is the turf of Jack the Ripper (which I grant you isn’t a selling point). It used to be known as Whitechapel Lane prior to being known as Brick Lane, when brick and tile manufacturers moved into the area. The name of the street is still legally and signposted as Brick Lane, but it has come to be referred to as Banglatown because of the overwhelming influx of Bangladeshis into the area. The corrupt Lutfur Rahman, a Muslim, was the Bangladeshi politician who resided over this area for a while, and who did illegal property deals with fellow Bangladeshis before his crimes were discovered and he was removed from office.

Brick Lane stretches from Whitechapel (which resembles Bangladesh with its street stalls selling rotting fruit and vegetables, and burkas) up to Bethnal Green Road (Bethnal Green, too, resembles Bangladesh or Pakistan – walk around it and try to find anything British about it). The bottom half of Brick Lane is comprised of halal shops and curry houses, with some refusing to sell alcohol, whilst others allow you to bring your own bottle. Halfway up Brick Lane, there is a very tall minaret which masquerades as a sculpture. It is lit up at night, and the crescent atop it looks like it has been set with diamonds.

This minaret sits outside of a mosque/Islamic centre, and it is a line of demarcation. If you carry on walking up Brick Lane from this point, you will be overwhelmed by hipsters, graffiti artists, vintage clothing markets, coffee shops galore, art galleries, and even a Jewish bagel shop. This division isn’t going to last much longer. Already the halal stores and curry shops are infringing upon the hipsters’ territory, and the Islamic influence is creeping up the lane. Skinny jeans intermingling with religious pajamas and robes are the norm today on Brick Lane. But let’s see how much longer it lasts. Like Camden, I give it five more years before it’s another Islamic ‘tread carefully’ zone.

When the minaret was first erected, locals came out to ‘ooh’ and ‘aah’ over this metallic work of art, as it was described by the council. It was sold to the public as an art piece, and they bought it. At no point did they realise, and they still don’t today, that this art piece is a land-claim. Muslims erect minarets as signs of victory, as markers of perimeters and borders. Muslims have, effectively, laid claim to Brick Lane and signed it off as their own. And while Muslims erect their minarets and lay claim to our land, we erect bollards on our stunning historic bridges and ancient buildings, all in a bid to keep citizens safe from devout Muslims who would seek to kill us and instill terror into the hearts of we the unbelievers. If only our MPs could design bollards as beautifully designed and as well-lit as this minaret on Brick Lane.

    We live in Londonistan. The article is entirely accurate. I have walked Brick Lane. Most of East London is Muhammadan. Entire areas in the center, North and West are Muhammadan e.g. Shepherds Bush. Minarets demark areas conquered and are signal towers for Jihad. Most Brits are clueless. After all they voted into the Mayors office a midget Moslem fascist. Not a surprise that half the pop view a symbol of Muhammadan fascism as art. Pathetic.

      It’d just a shame to see what was once the most powerful nation in the world to have sunk to such things as “Banglatown” Now are the Britts going to continue to allow their nation to fall into disrepair! Looks as though they are.

    You build minarets, and we build bollards. That, should be England’s new motto.

    I pray for a miracle for England that the truth of islam will be islam’s downfall by it’s own hand. Think of the song as performed by Vera Lynn: ” There will always be an England…and England shall be free….” Make it happen England! You, England, did against the Nazis.

      I wrote a grim parody of “There’ll Always Be an England” last year about this time:

      Just as the original song helped Britain make it through the Blitz, this should help with the transition to a Shari’ah state:

      There’ll always be an Al-Britani

      I give you a toast, ladies and gentlemen.
      I give you a toast, ladies and gentlemen.
      [this is Haram! There will be no alcohol in Islamized England, and no mixing of the sexes! The Committee for the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice هيئة الأمر بالمعروف و النهي عن المنكر will remove these blasphemous lyrics!]

      May this fair dear Dunya we love so well
      In dhimmitude and oppression dwell.
      Though worlds may change and go awry
      While there is still one voice allowed to cry

      There’ll always be an Al-Britani
      While there’s an ugly Mosque,
      Wherever there’s a Madrassa
      Beside a stoning ground

      There’ll always be an Al-Britaini
      While there’s a busy slave market,
      Wherever there’s a violent Muslim mob,
      A million marching feet.

      The Shahada on a field of black; what does it mean to you?
      Surely you’re proud, shout it aloud,
      “Muslims, awake!”

      The Ummah too, we can depend on you.
      No Freedom remains. These are the chains
      Nothing can break.

      There’ll always be an Al-Britani,
      And Al-Britani won’t be free
      If England means as little to you
      As England means to me.

      (apologies to “There’ll Always Be an England”)

        I realize that poetry is art, and art is different: This is satire, of sorts, but let’s hope this kind of surrender isn’t really up ahead for jolly ol’ England.

        I was surprised and thought this one a litte pessimistic for you there, gi. Very well done, but very dark and macabre; more in keeping with my attitude.

        We all know what we are facing, and are starting to see the odds stack up against us very quickly.

        I get glimmers of hope when I see signs of pushback at executive (for lack of a better word) levels of leadership dotting the civilized world, but things seem to get uglier and uglier.
        I have always feared that with all of the West’s accomplishments in technology, planning, architecture, building and so forth, we are simply creating habitats for inhumanity, and islam, through it’s hijra, advances unimpeded -invited and given Carte Blanche by our foolish, self-concerned, virtue-signaling leftists and cultural Marxists in fact- into our towns and cities, our real estate is bought buy big, outside muslim money, staking claim with mosques, minarets and “islamic” centers, and immigrants, “refugees”, “asylees”, and migrant invaders demographically replace us, and muslims, like masters of their new domain, pretty much do as they please at will, co-opt social movements and organize legally to defend their invasion and the mayhem it brings with it.

        My mother was a proud Yorkshire English Lass From Huddersfield. I know she would NEVER SURRENDER! She loved England and told me many many times. Dear England I love you so. We should never surrender no matter what.

          Thanks for posting this link, Andy–I love Vera Lynn, who is still with us at 101. And glad to hear about your mother.

          And I have mentioned here before that both my mother and aunt served in the British army as young women during WWII–my mother as a teletype operator with the Ministry of Information (famously of the never released “Keep Calm and Carry On” posters, and my aunt who drove huge supply trucks under blackout conditions between London and the mouth of the Thames. We just lost my aunt earlier this year, at the age of 97.

          I haven’t seen “Dad’s Army”, although I know it was extremely popular. But my grandfather, who was the Police Superintendent in his West Midland’s town, also ran the Home Guard–which would have swung into action in the case of a Nazi invasion. He had the air raid siren mounted on the residence roof.

          My pleasure Grave for posting the video,

          I grew up listening to Vera Lynn-God Bless Her, It was playing a lot in our home, Mum used to tell me a lot about the blackout conditions everyone went thru during the war.

          Tomorrow, November 26th, Is the fifth anniversary of my dear mum passing away, I miss her dearly, Everyone who knew her loved her.

          Sorry for your loss as well grave. The world has lost some good people with the passing of our English ancestors.

          That is why we have to stand strong now more than ever. I know this is what our ancestors would expect of us at this crucial time we are living in.

          Cheers, GI!

          Thank you, Andy, and sorry about the passing of your mum. My mother also died a little over five years ago, at 93.

          And I agree–our father and grandfathers–and mothers and grandmothers–standing fast against the Fascist threat is a great inspiration for us today, facing the threat of Islam.

          The particulars are different, of course–as they almost always are–but our facing an existential and evil threat to all we hold dear is very much the same.

        mummymovie, I assure you my parody was *not* a call for surrender–more an indication of how bad things could get if more patriotic Britons don’t stand up.

        I think we *are* starting to see more pushback in the UK–and Tommy Robinson is always an inspiration. As everywhere, I hope it is soon enough.

      Here is the real truth and all would do well to watch and listen to these factual, truthful videos by two experts, a Saudi ex Muslim former Wahhabi and an historian Dr.Jay Smith. These videos do not relate specifically to Jihad, but the lies, lies and more lies about the origins and foundations of this cult which is destroying our world. Here is one of many from CIRA International on Youtube. Dr.Jay Smith also hashis own videos.. I urge you to watch and learn. https://youtu.be/xIQxb89gWyE

        Thank you for this video Ann. We need more Muslims who converted to Christianity to speak out and not be afraid to stand up for the truth.

    If the germany won the air battles over British and the germany land than army on british soil. The king would have dismiss the churchill government and replace it with than more germany friendly governments. France and England will sign than peace treaty with germany. That king will resign and his brother will become the new king of england all legal by the law book.

      The repulsive “Brian hoff”–really, “DefenderofIslam”–wrote:

      ………………………………

      Is anyone surprised that “DefenderofIslam” would have loved to see the Fascists win?

      Firstly, of course, the claim that British law gives the monarch the right to dissolve legally-elected government is quite false. But then, “Brian hoff” has never understood anything about democracy.

      And the truth is that Britons swore to fight on if invaded. My grandfather ran his local Home Guard. My mother would have been one of those posting those “Keep Calm and Carry On” posters from the Ministry of Information–these may sound mild, but were actually exhorting Britons to keep fighting.

      Here is Churchill’s great “We Will Fight on the Beaches” speech:

      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MkTw3_PmKtc

      And “Brian hoff” has done this sort of thing before–claiming that under US law Muslims can impose the savagery of Shari’ah law on us and that it would all be “all legal by the law book”.

      Dream on, “DefenderofIslam”.
