Vodka & Seledka 🇬🇧
Vodka & Seledka 🇬🇧@seledka_vodka·
Excellent article. Here are a few builds. First, it must be pointed out that Islam - not some extreme variant, but bog-standard orthodox Islam as preached and practised in Britain - rejects any notion of integration or ideological compromise with other religions or cultural norms that contradict its edicts. The doctrine of al-wala' wal-bara' commands loyalty to the faith and disavowal of non-Muslim ways. The Prophet's own hadith warns that "whoever imitates a people is one of them." Muslims are expected to reject man-made structures and "innovation," and to accept the barbarities of the Quran and the Hadith as divinely sanctioned prescriptions for how life must be lived. No radical fringe is required to reach these conclusions. The mainstream canon gets you there on its own. Second, when Muslims form a majority in a territory, they are divinely instructed to impose Islamic rule on everyone. If you belong to the "people of the book" - another Abrahamic faith - you may be permitted to live, provided you pay a poll tax (jizya) to the Muslim rulers in a state of, as the Quran specifies, humiliation. Ibn Kathir's commentary on this verse is unambiguous: the jizya exists to demonstrate the subjugation of non-Muslims to Islamic authority. If you are a Hindu, Islam considers you a pagan, and even under the most lenient schools of jurisprudence, your status under Islamic rule is one of codified subjugation - discriminatory taxation, legal inequality, prohibition on building temples, inability to testify against a Muslim in court, and periodic persecution. The "tolerant" version of Islam is tolerance in the sense of "we will permit you to exist under conditions we dictate," not tolerance in the sense of equal standing before the law. As for leaving Islam, the Prophet's instruction is plain: "whoever changes his religion, kill him." All four Sunni schools of jurisprudence agree. Abu Bakr's wars against apostates were fought within a year of the Prophet's death. The only reason we are not all living under these arrangements is that Muslims are - for now - a minority in Britain. Third, public Islamic prayer is, as Nick says, political - and has been since the Prophet's time. Islam does not recognise a distinction between religious and political life. The Friday sermon was historically the platform from which caliphs proclaimed authority and issued edicts. The call to prayer is prescribed to be heard by the community. The separation of church and state is a uniquely Reformation-driven Western achievement, and Islam explicitly repudiates it. Communal public prayer in a non-Muslim land is therefore an assertion of presence, of dominance, and of rejection of the norms of the host nation - whether every individual participant intends it as such or not. Fourth, we owe precisely zero explanations for why we resent this. Zero. We do not have to be rational about it. We do not have to draw comparisons with other religions. Any explanation we give is the right one, because it is our land, and we govern it as we see fit. But I will give you my reasons. While I am an atheist and regard all religion as a collection of mostly rubbish - and religious belief as a species of derangement - Britain's culture and values have been steeped in Christianity. This includes our laws, which are inseparable from our culture. We may not be as Christian as we were fifty years ago, but anyone born in this country who was not shielded from it (as a great many Muslims are, thanks to their parents) will have absorbed some of Christianity's gifts into their cultural DNA. Islam is the antithesis of all of this. Its canonical texts prescribe the striking of disobedient wives, value a woman's testimony at half a man's, mandate amputation for theft, flogging for fornication, and stoning for adultery. Its most authenticated hadith collections contain explicit antisemitism - including a prophecy that Muslims will hunt and kill Jews at the end of times, with even the stones and trees calling out to betray those in hiding. It is violently hostile to other faiths, to non-belief, and to apostasy. It rejects secular democratic rule as a matter of doctrine. It has resisted reformation for fourteen centuries. And it has produced decades of relentless terrorism - against us and, by an even greater margin, against fellow Muslims. From the Algerian civil war to the sectarian slaughter in Iraq, from Boko Haram to the Taliban, from the Peshawar school massacre to the Manchester Arena bombing, the body count is staggering, and the majority of the dead are Muslim. The violence is structural. It is doctrinal. Western foreign policy did not create it. Islam is foreign to us. It is completely and utterly repulsive as an ideology. And the reason I happen to have Muslim friends, and have got on exceptionally well with Muslim colleagues, is that they were never hugely religious.

I will not be silenced. Labour are only demonstrating that they cannot see right from wrong. They will not stand up for our way of life. But we will.

Message like this hits differently because it ties faith to lived reality. Eid is meant to be a moment of relief and gratitude, but for many it’s still unfolding under pressure, whether in Ukraine or elsewhere. The reminder about resilience especially for communities like the Crimean Tatars feels important, not just symbolic. At the same time, it’s a subtle call to keep perspective: conflicts may be in different regions, but the impact is shared more widely than we sometimes admit. Hoping for peace isn’t just a ritual phrase here, it actually carries weight. Eid Mubarak may it bring at least a moment of calm and connection, wherever people are celebrating.

Eid Mubarak to all Muslims in Ukraine and around the world. For communities in Ukraine, this year’s Eid al-Fitr is still marked by the full-scale war, now in its fifth year. We remember, however, that Russian aggression began back in 2014 with the Russians once again seizing homes and imposing repression on many of our citizens, particularly on the Crimean Tatar people. Many of our compatriots are forced to celebrate this holiday under occupation, with hundreds of political prisoners and thousands of captives remaining in Russian prisons on fabricated charges. Unfortunately, the war also continues in the Middle East region, with a far-reaching impact on countries across the globe. Appalling strikes by the Iranian regime, carried out with drones and missiles, are hitting peaceful cities, infrastructure, and people – precisely during the holy month of Ramadan. For Ukrainians, who also endure such challenges every day, it is crucial that terror does not prevail anywhere in the world and that life is well-defended in every region. That is why we immediately offered our security partnership to the countries facing these attacks, and our teams are already on the ground working to strengthen the protection of life. As Ramadan comes to an end, I wish above all peace, strength, and prosperity to all Muslim families. May this holiday bring blessings and strengthen faith and cooperation among those who defend life. May peace come closer to everyone! Eid Mubarak! Ramazan bayramıñız mubarek olsun!

INDIAN OWNED HOTEL HAD IMMIGRATION OFFENDERS IN EVERY ROOM 🇮🇳A West London pub and hotel co-owned by the former Mayor of Hounslow has had it’s licence suspended for three months following a licensing and immigration raid. 🛑In November 2025, following intelligence the pub was opening after closing time to host illegal dancers and workers, immigration enforcement, the police, and licensing officers executed a warrant on The Old Oak Tree, located at The Common in Southall. 🇮🇳During the visit, officers found multiple individuals in breach of visa conditions who were allegedly renting rooms at the hotel for months at a time, paying £500 per month. 🛑It’s time to introduce legislation that prevents scamming foreigners from owning businesses in Britain 🇮🇳As well as banning them from owning businesses we really must prevent them from participating in politics!

£1.3BN Halal not leaving Muslim hands. Lowest employment rate, 19% lower than national avg (Census 2021). £4.5-£5BN sent back to Pakistan /year (State Bank of Pakistan). 17% on tax credit vs. 5% white Brits (Family Resources Survey 2020-21). Statistically, a malignant tumor.

Dear British Muslims, Tomorrow is Eid. Research shows Ramadan spending boosts the economy by £1.3bn, on top of an annual contribution of £70bn. I'm sure you want to celebrate - but spend too much, grow the economy a little too fast, and it might be seen as "dominating" 😳😬

The whole 'Left vs. Right' framework is nothing more than a weapon ideologues use to manufacture division and dominate the political narrative. The truth is simpler and far older: it's always been Good against Evil—and deep down, we all recognise which side the evil truly lies on.
Hilary Melville@HilaryMelville

@boot15_vu Absolutely Starmer and his troop have been very biased against the right, or "far right" as he terms them, since Southport I have despised him as PM I live locally in the NW PM seems to favour one faith and one community, even his marriage seems an act to hide his true colours!

The Free Speech Union
The Free Speech Union@SpeechUnion·
Labour’s Islamophobia definition is unlawful and infringes free speech. Atheists such as Richard Dawkins could be silenced by Labour’s new anti-Muslim hostility definition. Dawkins has regularly criticised Islam for its oppressive qualities. The Free Speech Union has sent a pre-action letter to the Communities Secretary, threatening judicial review if the definition and guidance are not withdrawn immediately. In our letter, we also warned about the chilling effect this definition will have on women’s ability to comment on and critique aspects of Islam, and the acts of those who follow it, that are deeply harmful to women in particular. “For example, women, and indeed Muslim women (in particular) may feel inhibited from speaking about actions such as so-called ‘honour killings’ where such speech may be labelled and regulated as anti-Muslim hostility”. The definition could also hinder campaigners working to expose practices such as female genital mutilation (FGM), predatory grooming gangs, and abuses of women’s rights. Another problem is that this definition could penalise people simply for recounting historical events. This could impact Sikhs, for example, when marking the martyrdom of Guru Tegh Bahadur, who defended the Hindu faith against Muslims. In our letter, we warned that the definition and guidance could lead to “offensive comments” — or perfectly legitimate expressions of free speech — being logged as “anti-Muslim hostility”. This would create a new form of non-crime hate incident (NCHI), inhibiting public debate while wasting police time and taxpayers’ money. This official definition is a Muslim blasphemy law by the back door, which will silence public debate and legitimate criticism of Islam, its practices, and its history. Read more below 👇
