It’s official. Rishi Sunak is the new prime minister of Great Britain. He’s a British-born Hindu, whose work before he entered politics was in finance. Almost all of the coverage of his dizzying ascent has focused on his economic policies, his experience at Goldman Sachs and as a hedge fund manager, and his presumed ability to “calm the markets” at a time of “great turbulence.” But what about those who come to Jihad Watch, who want to know not so much about his economic plans as his views on Islam, Muslims, and Israel?
The first thing to note is that Sunak is not just Hindu by descent, but a seriously practicing Hindu. He chose to be sworn in as an MP on a copy of the Bhagavad Gita. He is known to celebrate Diwali, the Festival of Lights. He has also been photographed lighting candles outside No. 10 Downing Street to mark the occasion. As a practicing Hindu, and a well-educated man, he cannot help but know what the Muslim invasion and conquest of much of India meant for its indigenous Hindu inhabitants. The celebrated Indian historian K. S. Lal estimates that under Muslim rule, between 1000 and 1525 A.D., 80 million Hindus were slaughtered by Muslims. And many more Hindus were killed between 1525 and the onset of British rule. Rishi Sunak knows about those killings, and also about the hundreds of millions of Indian, Pakistani, and Bangladeshi Muslims who are the descendants of Hindus who converted to Islam not out of conviction, but in order to escape death or dhimmitude.
Can we therefore expect Rishi Sunak to take a dim view of Islam and its demographic inroads in the UK? He has said he will crack down on Islamic terrorism, which “is a significant terror threat” for the UK. He has added that he also plans to scrutinize publicly funded charities which could be promoting “extremist” ideology. Sunak has suggested that one way to fight “Islamist extremism” would be to separate “[Muslim] extremists” from the UK’s regular prison population. It’s something that should have been done long ago, and not just in the UK but throughout the West, once it became clear that imprisoned Muslims had a literally captive audience on whom they could practice their prison da’wah. Too many non-Muslim prisoners have turned to Islam, either out of fear — Muslims constitute the “biggest gang” behind bars — or conviction, the result of constant exposure to those engaged in daw’ah. Thus does the British prison system work to swell the faith’s ranks. And too many laodicean Muslims become “radicalized” while in prison – that is, become more fanatical in their faith — by prison preachers who push them towards “extremism.” Ideally, Sunak will propose keeping the “extremist” Muslims in their own prisons, while lukewarm Muslims will be kept in other prisons, where they will not be radicalized by the “extremists.” Finally, non-Muslims would be held in still other prisons, where no Muslims will be held, and hence there will be little likelihood of conversions.
Sunak said he was “horrified” by the need for security outside Jewish schools, and promised that as prime minister he would increase the government’s financial support for Jewish security organizations such as the Community Security Trust. He promised that “I will do everything to root antisemitism out and protect people who need it.”
Asked at a Conservative Friends of Israel meeting about terrorism from Gaza and the West Bank, he did not offer any of the usual niffnoff about the need to give the Palestinians “hope” as a way to tamp down violence. Instead, he was uncompromising: “You will have my total commitment that I will fight very hard for the security of people in Israel, and that means being tougher and calling out behavior from Palestinians if need be.”
At the same Conservative Friends of Israel hustings this August, Rishi Sunak denounced the charge of “apartheid” flung at Israel, and described the Jewish state as a “shining beacon of hope’ Here is a fuller version of his remarks:
With remarkable frequency it emerges that those who label Israel an apartheid state also deny Israel’s right to exist. It is a claim that stands as an obstacle to peace and the government should be calling it out at the UN and wherever else it is used.
The apartheid claim is not only factually incorrect but quite frankly offensive. Like any nation, Israel is not perfect — but it is a vibrant multi-ethnic democracy with a free press and the rule of law. It stands as a shining beacon of hope in a region of autocracies and religious extremists.
And then he said what is perhaps most important, and reassuring to many of us, that “there is a very strong case” for moving the British Embassy to Jerusalem, which, he added, “is indisputably the historic capital” of the Jewish people.
Out of the frying-pan of Liz Truss, who spoke of moving the Embassy to Jerusalem, into the fire of Rishi Sunak, who says the same, but with even more conviction and feeling. If I were a Palestinian, I’d now be in a Slough of Despond.
DuncanThorburn says
Firstly, let me offer hope that The Prime Minister is successful. He has been born here in England, and knows the places well, by knowing The Asian Fights between Hindu and Muslim.
I think we have got for the first time, someone who understands the Muslim Threat, knows it’s Toxic to the British, but the British hardly ever want to find out about, the Founder of Islam’s thirteen last years of Mass Murder, Sex Slaves, Paedophile to Kafir exploits, and knows Muslim Rape Gangs follow Muhammad.
The Political Threat is everywhere Asians live, I hope he stops the Pakistani import of wives, and bans Sharia Law Centres in the UK, as repressing women, and The Kafir.

Concerning convicted criminals converting to Islam in prison, it seems natural. You have people who do bad things who now have a religion and God who approves of their behavior so they can continue to do bad things and supposedly be rewarded in heaven.
John ..Smith says
I’ve a good feeling about Rishi Sunak, he introduced the furlough scheme here in the UK which supported millions during the pandemic. He say’s he is going to crack down on islamic terrorism and also move the British Embassy to Jerusalem, which in its self would be a kick in the teeth of Hamas. He also pledges to crack down on illegal migration. If he follows through with these policies then I like many others will be overjoyed. But I’ve heard it all before, so we will just have to wait and see.
Wellington says
I will be most interested, John Smith, how Sunak turns out. Perhaps, just perhaps, he has both guts and vision. Time will tell and I will be especially interested in what the British people like yourself continue to think about how he’s doing.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
It’s interesting that you say that. I have been watching Mark Steyn, and he’s not impressed. Also, I’m not too impressed by the loser of the party-wide election some 8 weeks ago ending up as the prime minister
The key thing about him is not that he is Hindu, but that he’s a Goldman Sachs guy. Here in the US, in the Trump Administration, we saw a few of them – Steve Manuchin, Gary Cohn, Steve Bannon, and only one of them – the last – was impressive at all. The fact that Sunak is a favorite of Beijing should say more about him: not too many Hindus are liked by the Chicoms, since they have a wierd idea about ‘population being power’ and therefore, of India being the #1 threat to them. The fact that he’s re-appointed Jeremy Hunt as chancellor of the exchequer seems to reinforce that point
I am impressed by him giving Suella Breverman back her job, and I hope he backs her in pulling Britain out of the EU court if that’s what is keeping Britain from blocking all further migrants. They need to do that, and then start turning out all those illegal migrants in Britain. Once they do that, then he’ll deserve all the accolades he gets, including Hindus doing ceremonies in his honor

Good points John .. Smith and ࿗Infidel࿘,
What Rishi Sunak says… “tickles the ears” and he sounds like someone who understands the danger that Islam presents, However, will he deliver when the sh.. hits the fan? And it most certainly will.
Muslims represent approximately 5% of the population of the U.K., around 3.3 million people. It’s doubtful that the more “militant” of the Muslim community and those that sympathize with them, will quietly fade into the sunset.
Only time will tell.
Paul-Henri Spaak (1899 – 1972) was a former Belgian Prime Minister and one of the principal architects of what has, since its origins, now become the European Union. His words are chillingly ‘prophetic’ regarding the current meltdown in the Eurozone.
“We do not want another committee, we have too many already. What we want is a man of sufficient stature to hold the allegiance of all people, and to lift us out of the economic morass into which we are sinking.
Send us such a man, and be he god or devil, we will receive him.”
The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings. Jeremiah 17:9:10
Fitna says
Hopefully Sunak doesn’t do a flip-flop once in office like Liz Truss and Boris Johnson did. Based on this article it seems we might’ve finally found the right PM to put the UK on the right track.
It will take balls of steel to fight against Islam but as the PM he’s got nothing to worry about, since he has immense resources at his disposal.
I don’t expect him to be a Margaret Thatcher or a Winston Churchill, but if he could be half as tough as they were, then he could do a lot to save his country and will be justly admired for it.
milo minderbinder says
Fitna,
Amen! Well said
Aum says
Rishi Sunak comes across as a class act – special.
I hope he follows through and stands up for freedom of speech and constrains the excesses of Islam.
At a personal level as a Hindu this is a proud moment for me as a British Indian and a proud Hindu.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
As a Hindu, I get you, but how as a British Indian? He’s not Indian at all: his father was Nigerian and mother was Tanzanian. Just like Priti’s were Ugandan Hindus
VictorMc says
I am fascinated by your reports that Sunak is amazed by the need for security at Jewish schools and places of worship.
I am well into my eighties now and I was on a rota outside our local synagogue well over 50 years ago when our kids went to ‘Sunday school’ (we had 3 children)
Every ‘Jewish type’ school etc, in Britain today, is surrounded by cameras barbed wire and guards AT IMMENSE COST to the parents with everything that entails……..think about it.
If Sunak thinks he can have ANY effect on this hugely costly situation he is in cuckoo land.
He has no chance, personally, as I am a ‘moderate’ (joke) I would deport every Muslim to his land of origin but as I am a ‘moderate’ I would retain the educated ones but they would have to ‘prove’ it.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Please tell me that ‘educated’ means that they know what’s in quran and sunnah, and have rejected it – like all muslim apostates
milo minderbinder says
Good point ࿗Infidel࿘
The problem with the highly “educated” today, in my humble opinion, is that too many of these people are on the left. They are what I call highly educated “useful idiots.” In addition, too many of the highly “educated” are part of the “global Elite” which is another issue that Rishi Sunak will have to contend with, unless, he is part of that group.
Just peruse the people associate with Klaus Schwab at the WEF, (World Economic Forum.) Look at the list of “Young Global Leader” https://www.younggloballeaders.org/ and Global Shapers” https://www.globalshapers.org/

“A Globalist If I Ever Saw One – I Believe Conservatives Are Doomed” – Nigel Farage Blasts New UK PM Rishi Sunak (VIDEO):
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2022/10/globalist-ever-saw-one-believe-conservatives-doomed-nigel-farage-blasts-new-uk-pm-rishi-sunak-video/
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Oh yeah. On YouTube, you can watch Farage’s show on GBNews, and there, Farage has been scathing in his criticism of Sunak. Both he and Mark Steyn have been predicting the demise of the Tories, and he is looking at how to have the other right wing alternatives, like the Reform and Reclaim parties filling that void
However, problem w/ Farage: he is unwilling to confront islam head on, and has therefore tried to marginalize the likes of Tommy Robinson and Anne-Marie Waters. That’s one reason why I am not interested in what he does: he is fringe, and if one need to root for a fringe candidate, one might as well root for Anne-Marie Waters and her ‘For Britain’ party
James Lincoln says
I’ll take a “wait and see” approach.
It shouldn’t take long to find out whether or not Rishi Sunakis is the real deal…
jewdog says
He may wind up to be the leading personage in the West in terms of deeply understanding Islam. That would be a relief after the usual prarade of clowns we’ve had to put up with all these years. He’s also very supportive of Ukraine, which is great too. I wish him luck.
