Too many are too polite to say this. But mass ritual prayer in public places is an act of domination. The adhan - which declares there is no god but allah and Muhammad is his messenger - is, when called in a public place, a declaration of domination. Perform these rituals in mosques if you wish. But they are not welcome in our public places and shared institutions. And given their explicit repudiation of Christianity they certainly do not belong in our churches and cathedrals. I am not suggesting everybody at Trafalgar Square last night is an Islamist. But the domination of public places is straight from the Islamist playbook. Trafalgar Square belongs to all of us. It is a national memorial to our independence and our salvation. Last night was not like a televised football match or a St Patrick’s Day celebration. It was an act of domination and therefore division. It shouldn’t happen again.

This is a very odd post from a Conservative who says he believes in freedom of expression under law and is a principal spokesman of the Free Speech Union. I appreciate that he does not like Islam and there is no reason why he should. As a Christian it is not my faith. But the use of Trafalgar Square ( with permission) for religious events Christian and other goes back a long way. There have been prayers and hymns, chants and religious events performed there in the past. If such an event 'shouldn't happen again' it raises the question of whether this is to apply to all religious events or just to Muslim ones. If to all, then we are moving like France to imposing secularism as a norm and it is contrary to our national tradition and does not seem to have helped develop social cohesion there.If just to Muslims then it is an act of discrimination against them without any lawful basis. To achieve it you would have to enact discriminatory legislation targeted at Muslims. Is this what Nick Timothy is advocating ?

British man attacked for entering a ‘no-go zone’ in London. A horde of Islamists surrounded him and questioned why he was in ‘their’ neighborhood. They threatened him and began chanting ‘Allahu Akbar’ as they kicked him out.

This is Sheila Bat Zonah. Originally from Balagan, Poland, she joined the IDF as a lone soldier in order to combat Hamas. She served the IDF heroically doing three tours in Gaza, but tragically fell in the battle of Mishegas. Will you pray for Sheila?

The Reform candidate in Gorton and Denton is backed by Tommy Robinson. His campaign team includes those with extreme, racist views. My letter calling on Matthew Goodwin to reject their support. 👇🏻
