“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”….

Ridiculous. Moslems won’t leave the UK ! They are onto a winner in Britain. They’ve got it made.
David says
You never know. Muslims who hear about this might get the message. Some Jews were thinking of leaving if Corbyn and Labour were elected. They are welcome to stay. One Jew is worth a thousand (if not more)muslims in my estimation.
JamesC says
LOL. The MCB, who are so completely not remotely terroristic, have been expressing these fears. Because no-one ever suffers from the doings of these peaceable souls.

Eric Rearden says
If i am a Brit, then i applaud. If i am not, (and i AM NOT A BRIT) I pray they land where they came from and not where i am.
Conrad says
The term brit is derogatory. Wherever you are you’re a twat so stay there.
Dan says
Well twat’s derogatory too so, pot calling the kettle black.
You don’t seem to know this person, so politely explain, the first time at least, and expect a polite response in return.
If a someone is going to name call, the only honorable way to do it is face to face.
b.a. freeman says
if “brit” is derogatory, then U should correct the writer, with the assumption that the slur was made in error. if the slur is repeated, then it is obvious that it was intended to be a slur, and perhaps the profanity would be in order. otherwise, if one reads Eric’s post, one will find that he applauds the victory of the PM and his party, and prays that the exiting muslims do *NOT* come to the country in which he lives. i, too, share that sentiment.
so, Conrad … are U angry that Eric doesn’t want exiting muslims to come to his nation?
gravenimage says
Conrad, I am an American of British extraction and have many relatives in the UK, and I don’t find the term “Brit” to be derogatory at all.
Definitions do not list this term as derogatory, either, including in the Oxford English Dictionary.
The only reference I have ever seen to this being used as an offensive term was on an on-line forum which mentioned hardcore IRA types in Ireland using it negatively–but then, they are apt to use “English” in a derogatory fashion, as well.
David says
Sinn Fein (political wing of murderous IRA terrorists), are not keen on the name Londonderry, a town in Northern Ireland. They call it Derry..
David says
The term ‘Brit’ is not derogatory. Neither is the term islamophobic. I am both.
NHS says
I don’t consider Brit as derogatory or offensive either, but I wonder why some people regard the term Paki as offensive?

Me too Eric ! ??
Moshe says
I write to suggest that PM Johnson emulate the gracious words of former President Obama, who in February, 2016 visited an American mosque to share the following: “If you’re ever wondering whether you fit in here, let me say it as clear as I can as president of the United States. You fit in here, right here. (APPLAUSE) You’re right where you belong. You’re part of America, too.”
What a profound impression it would make in the UK if PM Johnson were likewise to visit a British mosque in the coming days to provide similar reassurances in a woke multicultural society.
Such magnanimity would be in the spirit of PM Winston Churchill.
Infidel says
No, there’s absolutely no reason Johnson should do that. As it is, Muslims in the UK are a pampered lot, and it took years before their rape squads saw justice. Johnson already demonstrated his tolerance when he visited a Hindu temple a few days before the election and participated in a ceremony, even though he’s not Hindu. There is no reason to do anything more.
The UK has been more than supportive of Islam throughout its history since King James I: they prevented Hindus from completely taking over India after the fall of the Mughal Empire and the rise of the Marathas, they destroyed the Sikh kingdom and restored Peshawar and Lahore to the Muslims, they supported Iran and Afghanistan in the Great Game against Romanov Russia, they supported Turkey in the Crimean War, they supported the Arabs in WWI in their liberation war against the Turks, they supported Bosnia and Kosovo against the Serbs and so on. All those reasons are why a part of me loathes that country: they’ve been a major supporter of Muslims throughout history
Speaking of Churchill, you might want to read what he wrote about Muslims in his book ‘The River War’ when he served in the Sudan

CogitoErgoSum says
Moshe, I see that your hero Obama recently made a speech in Singapore in which he said that women are indisputably better leaders than men and the world would be a much better place if every nation was run by a woman … which makes me wonder why he tried so hard to defeat Hillary Clinton in the Democratic primary in 2008 so he could be President. In that same speech he also blamed many of the problems of the world on old people who refuse to get out of the way for progress … which makes me wonder why he isn’t trying harder to get Joe Biden to step aside for Elizabeth Warren. Ha. I would take what Obama says about anything as seriously as I would the character of Goofy in a Mickey Mouse cartoon.
CogitoErgoSum says
Oh, and in addition to Biden, Obama should get Ruth Bader Ginsburg to step aside also, as well as Bernie Sanders and Nancy Pelosi.
Conrad says
That is because Obama was actually a female and not only that but also a muslim and a socialist.

Raja says
Moshe,
Muslim invaders and Muslim by any other name have hardly been magnanimous to any non Muslims.Why are you bending over backward to appease the would be genocidal people?
Even a nice Muslim curses you while he prays for your destruction at the time of his prayer
Ray Jarman says
Raja,
I can personally attest the validity of your statement about being cursed as Robert Spencer describes, while pointing their asses to their Allah, during their version of praying. For over two years (2007 – 2009) in Baghdad while working at the Embassy, I would sit with the door of my trailer (the smallest footprint) each morning because as soon as they rose to their feet, they would attempt to kill as many as they could with their mortars and rockets. Each night I and many others would ask our Savior to protect us but never did we ask Him to help us or our military to kill anyone, not even those lobbing mortars at us. Never once while I was in the Army did any chaplain lead us in prayer to request that He aid us to kill our enemy in Vietnam. We only asked that we be protected and if we were killed that we be admitted to the highest realms of heaven.
observer says
What hogwash Moshe texts.
You ‘Moshe’ are clearly someone who has no idea of what this religion is all about.
Nor have you any genuine notion of the issues covered on this website.
You have NO IDEA OF WHAT islam TEACHES, which is addressed on this website time and again; as is the bitter fruit of islamic scripture.
If, however, one of your offspring or family members were to be slaughtered on a London bridge / rammed and either killed by or severely maimed by a crazed driver in a hired heavy duty vehicle / blown up by an incendiary device at music concert / thrown to his or death from an apartment window for the crime of being Jewish / beheaded while traveling in Morocco / shot to death whilst attending a church service or whilst in the synagogue / among numerous other devilish possibilities, THEN and ONLY then MIGHT someone like you begin to understand islam and WHY it’s adherents resort to these horrendous acts.
Which – in case you hadn’t noticed – occur frequently around the world, thanks to these poor hard-done-by islamic emigrants who constantly flee to the West. THEN and ONLY THEN could you begin to understand why this website exists.
So may I suggest you swallow your liberal pride, remove your blinkers if you can find the courage to do so, and accustom yourself to reading this website so as to enlighten yourself…
I wish you courage in facing yourself with honesty in this regard. Someone like you will need it.
peter says
Dont talk about the trickster again ! It is because of people like you that the whole of Europe is in a mess and we stopped that smooth talking fork tongued crook before he could do too much damage to this country !
b.a. freeman says
such “magnanimity” would be in the spirit of neville chamberlain, not winston churchill. at least the nazis weren’t already all over the nation when the former took office. he already knew what the nazis were like, but the modern UKistani “leadership” (before mr. johnson) does not have a clue what the ummah believes or wants (except for the treasonous hard-core leftist thought leaders who are *NOT* stupid, and who *WANT* the nation to collapse so that they can seize power, and are using the pious of the ummah to destabilize society so that they can do so). in mr. chamberlain’s defense, of course, the UK was far behind the germans in military preparedness when he took office, and the UK may not have been able to successfully face them at the time, but in hindsight, he gave away too much.
and as for mr. obama, please remember that he did all that he could to balkanize americans, pitting one group against another. mr. obama is the most successful traitor in american history; he put race relations back 50 years (which is what the old hippies want so bad … they want it to be the 1960s again), demonized local police (no doubt in preparation to nationalize them, in preparation for seizing power during ms. clinton’s presidency), ordered all american troops to be disarmed on most military bases, and ordered the destruction of all training materials that referred to muslims or islam in relation to terrorism. also, it seems that he sent MREs, blankets, and socks rather than weapons to ukraine … which mr. trump reversed when he took office. funny thing, that; maybe mr. obama should have been impeached for withholding military aid to ukraine.
so how much do U know about islam, Moshe? do U know what al-insan al-kamil and uswa hasana mean, or describe how abrogation works? can U describe (in brief) islamic scripture? do U know what the ulema is, or what it teaches about blasphemy? i respectfully suggest that U learn about islam for yourself – U should at least be able to answer my questions – so that the next time U see innocent muslims being “hated” by knuckle-draggers like me, U can quote surrah and ayat (or ahadith) to shut them down. after all, truth *IS* the best defense (or it should be), so i would think that U would *want* to learn at least the little about islam that i know.

More witless trolling from “Moshe”–and calumny against Winston Churchill, who well understood the threat of Islam.

Do I detect a hint of sarcasm?
So was Obama a closet muslim? Ask him to eat a pork sausage. His statement is disgraceful.
Churchill quote: ‘Islam in a man is like rabies in a man'(sic)
David says
My comment was in reply to Moshe. Apparently no-one except me, thought he was being sarcastic. I guess you need to put: (sarc).
gravenimage says
He spouts his claptrap all the time. If “Moshe” is being sarcastic, he is keeping very deadpan about it.
JamesC says
Magnanimity is an admirable – & very desirable – quality. Whether that would be a good way to express it, is another matter.
Muslims should not be maltreated, but neither should they be given any hopes that they will be pandered to: there has been far too much of that already.
A problem in dealing with Islam is, that it seems not to recognise any duty of reciprocity, of fair dealing with those who deal fairly with it. Its claims, whatever one may think of them, are totalitarian, largely theocratic, and indivisible, whereas the UK is a Christian monarchy combined with a representative & largely secular democracy – a very unMuslim type of state.
The UK had problems accommodating previous minorities, notably:
Protestant Dissenters
Roman Catholics
Jews
Atheists
– those problems for those groups were sorted out, partly as a result of changes in society at large; but Muslims are particularly difficult to accommodate.
Victoria says
They don’t want to fit in. They want to conquer. They say it every day. The people aren’t listening. They call every other nation, infidels.The quran calls for death to infidels. If that isn’t enough to convince the deniers then nothing will till the Christian church is blown up like the World Trade Center. .
tigger says
Absolutely spot on, living in an insulated enclave they refuse any attempt to integrate just demand, demand, demand.
JamesC says
Got it in one.
DBM echo says
It’s a story that’s too good to be true.
Sun says
Not for New Zealanders.
Terry Gain says
Prime Minister Trudope will invite these poor Muslims to come to Canada.
Lee Poteet says
Given their 1400 year history and what the Quran teaches they should never been admitted. They should be expelled to the last person and every bit of their wealth down to the last penny should be dived among the victims of the rape gangs and the families of those they have murdered.
David says
Lee: Most don’t have a lot of wealth. Any spare cash is donated to islamic terrorist groups(Islamic charity, Zakat or sent back to their families in Pakistan or wherever.
Who in their right minds would allow their country to be filled with benefit-reliant poor Muslims?
Chris D says
Is this just like the headlines right after Trump was elected, that Hollywood Elite was going to move to Canada?
Unfortunately that one didn’t work out.
Do you really think the actual Jihadis would leave the Dhimmi from the Kuffar? And return to have to work in the dumps they came from? Highly unlikely. More Narrative driven press. News without evidence.
Infidel says
To be fair, a few did, like Madonna and Robert DeNiro, but you’re right: most of the Trump hating elitists are still in the US. If only there was a way of holding them to their promises and deporting them to the nearest socialist paradise which matches their race. Like AOC to Cuba, or Ilhan to Yemen or Rashida to Syria
gravenimage says
Madonna has been globe-trotting for some now–hanging out in London and Spain, especially. Her buying a house in Lisbon is just the latest shuffle. I think she still owns homes in the US.
And doesn’t Robert DeNiro live in New York City? Last I heard this is still part of the US…
Infidel says
I thought that DeNiro lives in France, doesn’t he?
gravenimage says
A number of websites, including Wikipedia, say he lives in NYC. He did spend time in France shooting a film, but I can’t find any claim that he lives there, Infidel.

If only Muslims en masse would leave Western nations and go to some Islamic polity. Well, I can dream, can’t I? A practically Muslim-free West is a beautiful thing to contemplate. I for one hope the dar al-harb lasts forever. Better, otherwise freedom will be dead.
Dawne says
1. I can only hope this is true and that those Muslims who aren’t prepared to integrate into UK society do leave.
2. NZ is a country with a tiny population. It won’t be long before it’s overwhelmed by its Muslim population.
3. We just had an election where a huge majority of people voted for Boris Johnson – left wing journalists, agitators and propagandists do not speak for the majority of people here and we’ll win this by democratic means.
4. Go Priti Patel! Don’t disappoint us Priti – go hard on immigration, particularly illegal immigration.

I think the UK likes Indians (Priti). They work hard, and do not cause trouble. The same cannot be said for muslims. India has big problems with muslims, but then who doesn’t?

If only they were leaving! I’m sick of their ignorant manners, low IQ – they are thick and arrogance attempts to make up for their lack of humanity, their vile language, their complacent persona, their stupid beliefs, the fact that they can only spout propaganda when on a radio discussion, and so on. Get out of the country you paedo supporting ‘prophet’ mongers. Want to live in a Muslim country then piss off to one and take your offspring with you. I’m sure our dogs and pigs will wave you get gone.
Sun says
From an objective point of view, this isn’t good news for the Western world.
To have just a few less Muslims in Great Britain will make no difference at all, but a few more Muslims in New Zealand will have an significant impact on the local population.
tim gallagher says
If only it was the truth that Muslims were leaving, and not just from the UK, but from all non-Muslim countries, and heading back to their “wonderful” Muslim paradise type countries. What a fantastic day that would be. It would be wonderful to watch the Muslim invaders clearing out in huge numbers, instead of seeing those huge lines of invading Muslim “refugees” piling into Europe. These Muslim parasites won’t go. Interesting to read the comments of that Muslim saying that the “humane and compassionate”(I’d say over the top and pathetic) behaviour of that fool Ardern makes him think of going to New Zealand. So it seems that, maybe, Ardern’s pathetic pandering to the Muslims has made New Zealand a major target for the Muslim invaders. Gee, that’s a great result from behaving like a doormat for the Muslims, Ardern.
Peter Dale says
Interesting that Mr Ali is scared to remain in Britain owing to fears for his safety. But it’s not to a Moslem country he wants to go,but rather to New Zealand. And yet he has taken no concrete steps to take his departure. And he never will. But talk is cheap and what he says requires no thought at all.
Jayell says
Talk may be cheap but all those benefit payments certainly aren’t as far as the average (non-muslim) taxpayer is concerned. I wonder how much my tax bill would go down when the muslims leave? If there are five million of them in the UK at the moment and about 65% of the working age ones are receiving some sort of unemployment benefit, that’s quite a lot of money! I can’t help wondering what sort of reaction these muslims expected when they threatened to deprive us of their wonderful presence because Boris got into No.10. Did they think we’d all organise a riot in order to re-run the election because we all so wanted to keep them happy? I’d bet that they never thought that their little hissy fit would be more likely to guarantee a Tory government for a long time to come.

At the very least, BoJo ensured that Britain is now Corbyn-neutral.

ana says
Sadly for the UK the muslim invaders are unlikely to leave the UK. For one thing muslims agree with most Westerners on a critical point. Muslim countries are unlivable hellholes so they escaped the results of muslim run countries to move to the West. The fact that a few muslim celebrities in the UK thought that threatening to leave the UK would in be received with regret by the average UK citizen tells us that muslims are every bit as delusional as they appear to be.
If God almighty decides to directly intervene in the matter and causes the all the muslims in the UK to leave then I will be envious of the UK.
Battle says
The Moslems have told the Christian’s, “Get out” “You’re jealous we are taking over.”
The British can tell them back “No.”
“You get out.”
sheliak says
If any muslims left the UK following Johnson’s victory, it was only to return to their countries of origin to vacation and pick up several additional family members for a trip back to the UK so that all could suck off the British welfare teet.
