🔥 DOUGLAS MURRAY CLASHES WITH BBC IN TENSE SHOWDOWN OVER ISLAM IN THE UK
Murray Schools BBC Political Editor Nick Watt on the Dangers of Unchecked Islamic Extremism ☪️
Douglas Murray calmly but precisely dismantles BBC Newsnight’s Nick Watt who challenges him on calling for “less Islam” in Britain due to the threat of Islamic extremism.
BBC: “Surely ‘less Islam’ means less Muslims? Less Sajid Javid, less Sadiq Khan… anyone who’s a Muslim?”
Murray: “It would also mean less people like the Abedi family. Wouldn’t it?”
BBC: “Yes, less extremists, but you’re talking about less Islam - that is Muslim people.”
Murray (calmly and bluntly): “Just bear with me, because I know better than you what I think.”
He continues: “This country has had a wildly stupid and lax immigration policy for decades. We allowed in people like the Abedi family, a family of jihadists. One of their sons, Salman Abedi, aged 22, killed 22 young girls at the Manchester Arena with a suicide bomb. Why were the Abedi family even here?”
“Jihadist extremism comes from Islam. If even 1%, 5%, or 15% of Muslims follow that strain, you’ve got a hell of a problem.
The more people you have from a faith that hasn’t solved the extremism in its midst, the more extremism you will have.”
“You don’t get this from Catholics, Methodists, Quakers or Anglicans.”
When the presenter tried to interrupt and accused him of stereotyping, Murray hit back: “Of course it’s not stereotyping! This is a dated conversation. Nobody is as slow in learning as the British media and political class on this issue.”
“Why do we have thousands of people marching through British cities every weekend supporting death cults that would murder Jews and the rest of us? That’s the question you and Newsnight should be answering.”
Unflinching truth. Take a few minutes to watch the full clip. It’s well worth it.
