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

New UK PM BoJo flings open doors to mass migration and considers “Islamophobia” inquiry

Jul 30, 2019 9:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

Britain’s new Prime Minister is no stranger to controversy when it comes to Islam. He stated that “Islam had historically put the Muslim world ‘literally centuries behind,'” called Islam the most “powerful ‘retrograde force’ in the world,” compared burqa-wearing women to “letterboxes and bank robbers,” and was threatened by his own party to be sent to “diversity training” over his comments, for which he refused to apologize, amid insistent charges of “Islamophobia.” Johnson’s resistance to the Islamization of Britain has infuriated Islamic supremacists. And when Johnson became “‘the bookmakers’ favorite choice” to replace Theresa May in leading the UK, he was compared to Adolf Hitler by a Muslim leader in the Conservative Party. Mohammed Amin blasted the Tory leadership frontrunner for not having the “basic morality and integrity” to be Prime Minister. And the Conservative Muslim Forum chairman also vowed to quit the party after 36 years if Johnson became Prime Minister.

Now that Johnson has indeed become the Britain’s Prime Minister, Amin may not quit after all, because BoJo has made a U-turn. In a stunning report, Johnson “has ditched a decade-long commitment to bring immigration down to manageable levels and is talking up an amnesty for illegal migrants.” His plan is described in Breitbart as akin to “Angela Merkel throwing the doors of Europe open in that mad summer of 2015, naturally without consulting with the people of Europe if they wanted a few million new neighbours, in its arrogance and misjudgement.” BoJo’s erratic turn has now prompted Migration Watch to launch a petition against Johnson’s Illegal migrant amnesty proposal.

BoJo’s shift has lead Brexit Party MEP Alexandra Philips to warn about him, stating that “we can’t believe Boris on his pledges to deliver Brexit” because of his flip-flopping. And yet another disturbing flip-flop may be on its way, as BoJo flip faces calls to commit to an independent inquiry on “Islamophobia” in the Conservative party. According to a report in the Guardian:

Johnson appeared to sign up to an inquiry during the BBC debate of the leadership campaign, when Sajid Javid, now his chancellor, got his rivals to agree that an external investigation into Islamophobia was a good idea….Asked on Sky News when Johnson would be launching an inquiry, Rishi Sunak, the new financial secretary to the Treasury, said the prime minister was “committed very firmly to rooting it out in the party wherever it is”.

If the Prime Minister is indeed “firmly committed” to rooting out “Islamophobia” in his party, it signifies that he has accepted the nefarious term. The definition of “Islamophobia” from the all-party parliamentary group on British Muslims states that: “Islamophobia is rooted in racism and is a type of racism that targets expressions of Muslimness or perceived Muslimness.” Whatever “Muslimness” means.” Nevertheless,  the Labour Party and the Liberal Democrats have adopted the bizarre and open-ended definition, while the Conservatives have been pressured to do the same.

The National Police Chief’s Council, however, has proven to be not so gullible. The Council issued a statement of concern when the definition emerged from the all-party parliamentary group:

“We are concerned that the definition is too broad as currently drafted, could cause confusion for officers enforcing it and could be used to challenge legitimate free speech on the historical or theological actions of Islamic states. There is also a risk it could also undermine counter-terrorism powers, which seek to tackle extremism or prevent terrorism.”

Too many Western leaders are weakening in their resolve to fight jihad terror, under the pressure of Islamic supremacist special interest groups that demand that they embrace the word “Islamophobia,” which is intended to erode the freedom of speech, and along with it, free society as a whole.

Former Imam and member of the International Institute of Islamic Thought, Abdur-Rahman Muhammad, warned about “Islamophobia”:

This loathsome term is nothing more than a thought-terminating cliche conceived in the bowels of Muslim think tanks for the purpose of beating down critics.

“Islamophobia” is heavily pushed by Muslim Brotherhood operatives and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation.

Islamic supremacists make no apologies for their supremacist entitlements, but they demand apologies from infidels when they feel offended, and readily brand them “Islamophobic.”

In the midst of all this unflattering news about BoJo, Metro News has reported that in Kalfat village in Central Turkey — located in Calkiri province — “where BoJo traces his ancestry to is bussing with excitement and pride after a man they see as one of their own became the new Prime Minister of the UK….’We were honoured that someone who has Ottoman genes, who comes from these lands, has become the Prime Minister of a prodigious country,’ said Adem Karaagac, the former administrator of the village of 1,300.”

Boris Johnson has duped the UK population. Upon becoming the Prime Minister, he has begun following in the same footsteps of the globalists (or worse) who are weakening European democracies.

“Lane: Boris Johnson Can’t Win the Love of the BBC By Giving Out a Million British Passports,” by Oliver JJ Lane, Breitbart, July 26, 2019:

Britain’s new Prime Minister has ditched a decade-long commitment to bring immigration down to manageable levels and is talking up an amnesty for illegal migrants, major policy changes that will likely be near-ignored in preference to the important topic of Brexit.

And while Brexit is without doubt the most important political issue of our generation, the long-overlooked task of finally fixing the United Kingdom’s broken immigration system remains a high priority for voters.

Yet Boris’s plan is akin to Angela Merkel throwing the doors of Europe open in that mad summer of 2015, naturally without consulting with the people of Europe if they wanted a few million new neighbours, in its arrogance and misjudgement. The Prime Minister signalling to people-smugglers and illegal migrants that their crimes will be overlooked if they can remain undetected long enough is nothing short of an open invitation for more illegals to come and try their luck.

How many people could such an amnesty mean giving papers to? Newspapers like The Sun bandied figures like 500,000 around in the wake of Johnson’s comments, but this seems optimistically low for the amount of new British citizens or regularised residents the Prime Minister might wave into existence with the stroke of a pen. As Breitbart London’s flashback on Johnson’s past form on calling for illegal amnesties points out, Boris was putting the figure at 400,000 ten years ago for greater London alone when calling for amnesty as Mayor.

A decade of porous borders to London and the rest of the nation suggests the true figure is much higher, and the experts agree. Former Home Office immigration enforcement boss David Wood put the figure at 1.2 million in 2017, and claimed the true levels of migration to the United Kingdom were kept secret to save the government embarrassment. New arrivals of illegals is estimated to run at 150,000 a year, every year.

And then there’s chain migration, a factor well known in the United States but less understood in the United Kingdom and Europe.

As Breitbart London’s James Delingpole has already noted, perhaps the greatest threat to Boris Johnson’s leadership is his deep-seated desire to be liked. But if Boris thinks he can buy the love of the BBC and the Twittersphere by giving out a million British passports, he’ll be sorely disappointed.

Mr Johnson, you’ve already been — quite wrongly, for obvious reasons — labelled Britain’s Trump by the mainstream media. It doesn’t matter how liberal your views on borders are, or how many citizenships you give out, you’re always going to be the bad guy to the news anchors and Westminster bubble. Chasing that popularity means doing the work of the left for them, without them ever needing to win another election….

    Let’s see in the UK and EU anything who says something about muhammadans is Islamophobic [ not even a word} N the US any politician that dares o say anythinf the left doe not like is a Racist. Ok so let’s get to the point of which the Left has no point.

    Boris Johnson’s flip-flop makes one wonder who is REALLY in charge of the UK. Does anyone know who is calling the shots in UK? Is it the Saudis? Is it European banks? Who is giving Boris his new orders?

          Mr. John Kendall , I’ll certainly hold YOU in contempt . You should know very well it has nothing to do with genetic make up /race . It has everything to do with mentality . There are people from all creeds and colors having a positive attitude regarding OUR GREAT Western Civilisation and its values and contributing positively . My own family has different ethnic roots : European ( Dutch and German ) , African ( Ghanaian : Bantu ) , and Asian ( Indonesian :Javanese ) . Our nationality is Dutch , we live in The Netherlands , and we consider ourselves very much Dutch and Westerners . Don’t insult me , my family and many others like me/us mr. Kendall , because many of us have contributed a great deal to and suffered for OUR GREAT Western Civilisation/World , and yes , I’M PROUD WE HAVE CONTRIBUTED SO WELL ( we have endured a lot , and considering that , I’M EXTRA PROUD ! ) . You’re SO IGNORANT .

          Jul 31, 2019 at 3:37 pm

          Mr. Kendall , you’re talking about “ethnicity and homeland “. Reminds me a lot of : “Blut und Boden “. This is a NAZI-concept . You should ask yourself the question , Mr. Kendall , that IF you are so for ethnic homelands , why are ” white people ” then living in the Americas ? White people don’t belong there according to your own theory of “ethnic homelands “. See what I mean , mr. Kendall ? You’re talking a lot of nonsense . Another thing : when adressing me you wrote : “……..us White People “……….”. I’m not ” White ” , mr. Kendall ; I’m a mix of different peoples and races , and that’s just fine . I consider myself a WESTERNER , and I don’t see any discrepancy here . The current mass-invasion of Muslims in our Western World is indeed a big problem for US WESTERNERS , because these people hate us , our Western values , and everything our Western World stands for . These people are RAIDERS , and want to destroy us , and our way of life , and want to take over . These people should be stopped from entering our lands , they are enemies ! And as I stated before mr Kendall ; it has nothing to do with race . Are you a White Suprematist mr. Kendall ?

          Aug 1, 2019 at 1:25 am

          Mr. Kendall , I’m not slandering you at all ; I’m just using SOUND ARGUMENTS/ logic . I’m using your own logic to show you how and where you’re wrong . You’re SLANDERING yourself sir ! Futhermore : the theory of ” Blut und Boden ” has been used by the NAZIS to make way for a “pure Arian Homeland for a pure Arian people “. Hence the ETHNIC CLEANSING ( and the Holoxaust ) in Germany itself and and in the conquered /occupied territories by the NAZIS . It served aswell as an excuse for the conquest by the NAZIS of other territories for the benefit of/ Lebensraum für the so called ” Arian Race / Das Herrenfolk “, as they ( the NAZIS ) . saw it . Mr. Kendall , these are well known FACTS , and your attributions here make me think of White Supremacy and the NAZIS . So I asked you or you’re a White Supremacist . I feel no more need for asking you this question because you’ve made perfectly clear YOU ARE ! And I would say to you , mr. Kendall : feel free to be slandered or offended , IT”S YOUR PRIVILEGE .

    The idea of examining ‘Islamophobia’ should be welcomed if it means an actual analysis of ISLAMIC DOCTRINES that PROMOTE FEAR OF MUSLIMS among the disbelieving kafirs whom Muslims are required to hate ‘for the sake of Allah’ … The following Hadith actually promotes the FEAR OF MUSLIM and recommends that Muslims conduct terrorism.

    – Abu Dawud 4284 : “Muhammad said; ‘It is expected that the (disbelieving) nations will call other nations to share (with) them against you (Muslims) as the eaters call each other to eat from the food in front of them in a large wooden plate.’ A person asked, ‘Will that happen because of our small number on that day?’ The Prophet said, ‘No. Your number will be great, but you will be rubbish like the rubbish of flood-water. And certainly Allah will remove from the hearts of enemies the FEAR OF YOU and surely Allah will throw Wahn in your hearts. A person asked, What is Wahn, O Messenger of Allah? The Prophet said, Wahn is to love this world and to hate death.’ ”

    Since Muslims are required to conduct jihad to terrorize those who resist Islam according to the above hadith … then why would people NOT HAVE A NEGATIVE REACTION to a religious cult that preaches actual terrorism? No one wants to be threatened by Islamic terrorists as has happened ALL OVER England and Scotland.

    The jihad don’t DARE to act up in Ireland … please take note of that.

    Islamophobophobia is an irrational fear of the fear of Islam. Imams and Muslims suffer greatly from this condition. The only course of action is for the Kafir and Infidel to convert. A split second after one converts, he or she will no longer be low as dogs and ignorant.

        When you’re hit over the head, the instrument could be a “lead” pipe. But when it’s a verb, “lead” is the present and “led” is the past tense. The problem is that the past tense is pronounced exactly like the above-mentioned plumbing material (“plumb” comes from a word meaning “lead”), so people confuse the two.May 19, 2016

    Bo-jo has been ‘got at’. After being elected he announced that he was going to make his pro-Brexit cabinet ‘diverse’, so he appointed two ‘diverse’ characters to key positions even though one has a track record as dubious ss May’s and the other had to be sacked previoisly because of her grossly irrresponsible insubordinate behaviour verging on treason. If Bo-jo through his inquiry has the guts to come to a conclusion that “islamophobia’ is just an enormous scam, then he will have my unreserved admiration. If he just ends up going along with with the rest of the corrupt cultural traitors, that will.be the proof the entire UK establisment has been terminally contaminated and there will be.no nice democratic way to save the situation.

    The UK is now heading towards total destruction. The new PM has realized that the way to stay in power is to favor the group that is multiplying rapidly, with the help of its illegal polygamy, and generous government benefits. That group takes its religion very seriously.

    He has discarded the group that is not reproducing itself, the group that thinks that its religion is a joke.

          And, Terry, once again I ask you how many federal judges, district attorneys, lawyers in general, et al. have you lined up on your side asserting that Islam does not deserve First Amendment protection? You never seem to name them. Hmmm, wonder why.

          And just imagine this: Islam fully acknowledged as a religion but widely, including among the elites in the political realm, the judicial realm, academia and the media, viewed as something injurious to freedom, equality under the law, women’s rights, fine pork products, beer, etc.

          Even proceeding on your assumption that Islam is not a religion, were it overwhelmingly viewed as an iniquitous religion, do you not concede that while you would not be completely satisfied, this in and of itself would be a huge step in the right direction? Or are you so ideologically driven that you cannot even entertain the salutary results of this hypothetical I just mentioned?

      • gravenimage says

        Terry, are you saying that if someone does not pretend that Islam is not a religion, then they ergo are for unfettered Muslim immigration? How does this make sense?

        And you must be making the same assertions about Robert Spencer and Hugh Fitzgerald and other Jihad Watch contributors, because they do not deny that Islam is a religion–an evil religion–either.

      islam will be off limits from criticism so long as it is regarded as a religion rather than the conquest ideology that it is.

        Terry Gain,

        Again, your point is well taken. In the United States, religions have special protections…

        If Islam could be legally reclassified as a conquest ideology, I think that we would have better legal tools to take it down.

        If I remember correctly, I believe that you are an attorney – I am not.

        Thoughts?

          James: Terry has been on this same theme for years now, i.e., that as long as Islam is considered a religion it is off limits for criticism. But where is this written? Christianity is certainly a religion and people on the Left regularly denigrate it . So why can it not be the case that Islam is acknowledged as a religion but denigrated too (this time with precision because most of the criticism of Christianity is bogus but a great deal of the criticism of Islam is quite accurate—after all, Christianity does not have in its theological blueprint such heinous dictates as death for apostasy, the allowance of the hitting of women, and severe punishment for any criticism of it as Islam most definitely has)?

          Additionally, Terry assumes that a religion must be good. Well then, guess the Aztec religion which required human sacrifice was not a religion. Guess Satanism isn’t either. And so on.

          The key is not the status but the content. Terry simply cannot grasp this. Rather doubt Terry ever will.

          Does Islam pose new challenges to the First Amendment here in America? Yes. But the most efficacious path to dealing with the iniquity which is Islam does not lie in any approach that denies it religious status but rather how it contravenes in so many instances American constitutional and statutory law.

          Terry and Wellington,

          I much appreciate the feedback.

          It’s obvious that this is a very layered topic… and I fully understand that Islam has a religious component… albeit a horrific component…

          For me, perhaps, it is a matter of degree. In other words, what percent of Islam is religious and what percent is non-religious ideology? Looked at another way, can an ideology such as Islam be, say, 10% religious and 90% nonreligious ideology – and still be classified legally as a religion?

          Again, thank you for the feedback.

          Enjoy your evenings.

        Terry, Islam has been criticized for centuries–your idea that this is not possible because Islam is a religion is not borne out by 1400 years of history.

        And Christianity is constantly–and often unfairly–criticized. No one balks because Christianity is a religion.

        Moreover, you have never said who in your scenario would “officially” claim that Islam is not a religion–would you have dictionaries change the definition of religion, despite centuries of clear usage? Of did you have something else in mind?

    . It doesn’t matter how liberal your views on borders are, or how many citizenships you give out, you’re always going to be the bad guy to the news anchors and Westminster bubble. Chasing that popularity means doing the work of the left for them, without them ever needing to win another election

    Nicely summed up.

    I can’t stand these flip flopping types of politicians. Are they just completely insincere in everything they say? I only like people like Orban, the Hungarian leader, and others like him, who say they are awake to Islam’s evil and mean what they say, and who follow up and carry through with strong policies on Islam. Orban seems to have genuine convictions and the courage to carry through on them. When it comes to the flip flopping type of politicians, it is no wonder that politicians have such a bad name and are not believed by so many people. I guess Boris Johnson does seem like he could be a pretty erratic type of leader. He’s a colourful character, and watching some of his antics is quite enjoyable compared to some other politicians, but he seems like he could be all over the place on many issues.

    • James Lincoln says

      Jul 30, 2019 at 8:14 pm

      tim gallagher,

      You are certainly correct regarding Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban. I have followed him closely since he became the Hungarian Prime Minister in 2010.

      You are correct, he is spot on regarding Muslim migrants. The other Central European countries of the Visegrad group – Poland, Czech Republic, and Slovakia – are also holding their own.

      If the countries of Western Europe had taken this approach, they would not be in the mess that they are in now…

      • tim gallagher says

        Jul 31, 2019 at 12:31 am

        Yes, James, I do like the political leaders who seem to have strong convictions and a bit of courage. Orban is the one whose name I know, but I do also mean the leaders of the other Visegrad countries. I’ve forgotten their names. Thinking about the wishy washy leaders in our western countries, I guess the difference might be that we have let in too many Muslims already and they seem to have some effect on what our leaders say. Also, maybe, too many people in our western nations still don’t see a big problem with Muslim migration, whereas the populations in the Visegrad countries don’t seem to be fooled by Islam at all. I suppose in any democracy, the politicians can’t race too far ahead of public opinion. This is pretty disappointing from Johnson though. You’re right that, if we hadn’t let Muslims in, which is the mistake the Visegrad countries want to avoid, we wouldn’t have the problems we are facing. Keep Muslim out. Nothing else works.

    Well, *this* is depressing. I knew that Boris Johnson had a few blind spots, but had actually been quite optimistic at this being the next PM.

    • tim gallagher says

      Jul 31, 2019 at 12:44 am

      I agree, gravenimage. It’s a pretty disappointing start from Boris Johnson. I also felt a bit of optimism about his becoming Prime Minister. But he does seem like a fairly erratic type of character. Some of these politicians seem to be all over the place. It’s hard to find much logic in their attitudes when it comes to Islam. You’d think that they’d be embarrassed by the flip flopping that they do.

      • gravenimage says

        Sadly agreed, Tim.

    Islam is a political system masquerading as a religion.

    John, they are being subjected to Islamoloathia (my new word) Much more to the point.Muhammad knew everyone hated him and his followers. So he, sorry, ‘Allah’ filled the Koran with it.
    I think islam is as much a religion as Scientology. They are a pair of stupid cults!
