“British Muslims have ‘begun to leave the UK after Boris Johnson won the election’ according to the alarmist headlines of a journalist writing for a major newspaper — without offering hard evidence of the assertion.”
This was an embellishment by an activist journalist, like many others. In truth: “the article only actually mentions discussions between the online wing of Metro and two people — neither of whom have actually left the country.”
But for those who have been stirring up rancor against Johnson, one should ask what Boris Johnson said or did that could remotely compare to Muslim MP Naz Shah’s infamous retweet that victims of Muslim rape gangs should “shut up for the good of diversity”; or Jeremy Corbyn’s stark antisemitism and friendship with the jihad terror groups Hizballah and Hamas.
In both cases, there was no widespread outcry against encouraging the victimization of Jews and of innocent young girls being “groomed” by Muslim rape gangs in the UK. Nor is there an outcry against the persecution of minorities by Muslims and the violence and hate being preached in mosques and Islamic centers. Such outcries are saved up for so-called “Islamophobic” Westerners who oppose Islamic supremacists and their entitlements.
“Media Claims ‘Muslims have Begun to Leave the UK’ After Boris Win,” by Jack Montgomery, Breitbart, December 16, 2019:
British Muslims have “begun to leave the UK after Boris Johnson won the election” according to the alarmist headlines of a journalist writing for a major newspaper — without offering hard evidence of the assertion.
Writing for the Metro, a once fairly neutral but increasingly left-biased newspaper distributed for free on public transport throughout Britain, Basit Mahmood claimed that British Muslims “have started the process of leaving the UK over fears for their ‘personal safety’ now Boris Johnson is Prime Minister for five years”. The story was widely shared on social media by those expressing anger at the Conservative landslide victory.
However, the article only actually mentions discussions between the online wing of Metro and two people — neither of whom have actually left the country.
Manzoor Ali, a Muslim charity boss who has previously branded Prime Minister Johnson “nothing but a liar, a conman and a racist” who has “lied to this country time and time again”, “offended Muslims”, and “lied to this nation for votes to leave [the European Union]” on social media, told the Metro he is now “scared for [his] personal safety [and] children’s future”.
As the Metro describes it, “his family are in agreement that they should move to ensure their safety” — but it seems there have been no concrete steps towards actually realising that goal.
In terms of destinations, it appears that Mr Ali is not considering a move to a majority-Muslim country, but New Zealand, which “appealed to him, given the humane and compassionate manner in which the prime minister of the country, Jacinda Ardern handled the aftermath of the Christchurch mosque shootings”….
