@NadiaWhittomeMP Islam isn’t a race. It’s not racism to criticse a political & cultural ideology that’s barbaric, hasn’t reformed & is not compatible with western values of democracy, free speech, freedom of religion, freedom & equality for women/girls, separation of state & religious leadership

Within just 48 hours of the Tories refusing to sack Nick Timothy for his Islamophobic comments, the far-right is circulating a list of MPs “of foreign descent” trying to “silence” him. This is what happens when racism is normalised from the top: democratically elected representatives being told that we shouldn't be allowed to make decisions here at all, and even that we should leave the country. It’s a racist attack on our very democracy. Will Nick and his party condemn it?

This is the problem with our political elite. They have embraced Islam. 99.99% of British citizens only want to tolerate it.

I tracked ONS data against the doomsday daily TV fearporn of 'new cases' in real-time, from March 2020. I walked the halls of six hospitals across four counties, as did others. One woman has been convicted for releasing the video of an empty Gloucester Hospital. There was no staffing 'crisis' - there was a purge. They used endless, asymptomatic testing to keep healthy medics out of the wards and in their living rooms. The FOIs confirm the truth: the 'overwhelmed' system was a controlled demolition designed to justify the chaos. They didn't lack staff; they hid them based on a fraudulent PCR test. While the media screamed 'crisis' and people died alone at home (not from covid), staff were filming TikTok dances in closed wards. The real 'peak' wasn't a 'virus'; it was the 55,000 elderly culled in care homes via NG163, having been kicked out of hospitals in Spring 2020. Then came January 2021: the 'died suddenly' era. Healthy young lives snuffed out by heart attacks and aggressive turbo-cancers. The body count was so undeniable that they had to rig the data, rebranding 'excess deaths' as 'expected deaths' just to hide the evidence. It was a top-to-bottom execution - forced ventilation and a staged disappearance of the flu and pneumonia to mask the truth. The only true excess deaths came from the jabs and NG163 kill protocol. They didn't save people; they liquidated them. If you still believe the 'hero' narrative after they tried to fire 88,000 unvaxxed workers before pivoting to target children, you aren't just misinformed - you're lost. And those unvaxxed NHS workers whose jobs we saved; how many of them stuck a needle in a patients arm when they wouldn't take one themselves? I didn't clap in 2020, and I never will. Don't be fooled by the robes: Baroness Hallett is a hired hand for the architects of this chaos. The 'inquiry' is a staged performance to guarantee that when the next 'crisis' is manufactured, the chains are slapped on even faster. They aren't looking for 'mistakes'; they're looking for ways to be more lethal next time, so when they pull the trigger, the lockdowns are instantaneous and the state's reach is absolute.  This was never about health - it was a test of compliance and a rehearsal for total control. The NHS is dead - by design. Compassion has been replaced by a hit list. Since I stood my ground, resisted the poison shot and spoke out, I'm treated like an enemy of the state, not a patient. I try to stay clear of hospitals because they don't see people anymore - they see targets. The mask of 'care' has slipped forever.

I am never happy criticizing Islam. With every post I make, every article I publish, every interview I give, I wrestle within myself. This world is cruel, and it needs more kindness, and it saddens me that I can't contribute more of it. If Islam were confined to a certain geography, I wouldn’t concern myself with it. If Islam were reformable, if it were possible for an open, high-trust society to survive it, I wouldn’t risk my life or waste my energy discussing this backward, dark ideology. But the problem is that Islam is none of these things. Islam is an expansionist ideology that, wherever it exists, erases individual liberties. And with that, it destroys creativity and prosperity. What we have witnessed in the West since October 7 has been a revelation: Islam has been rebranded using a narrative that frames Israel, and the West, as the cause of the violence and bigotry inherent in this political ideology, giving it the space to expand. That is why it is a moral obligation to stand against its expansion, to educate decision-makers about the threat it poses to the West, and to ensure that the Church, which plays a decisive role in shaping U.S. political direction, is equipped with the right tools and not deceived by false narratives. Committing to moral obligations is a discipline that brings no earthly pleasure. I find no pleasure in combating Islam. However, I can't live with myself if I choose to live a quiet, normal life while knowing that I might be able to make a difference, even if I am not very optimistic.

Why are muslims so insecure as a group that they DEMAND specific rules, laws and clauses to protect them and their ideology from being criticised or ridiculed? Why are they so sensitive that they need to be shielded from opinions they don't like? Why are they so fragile that they need to threaten others with violence for "disrespecting" their prophet. Why are so many of them so deranged that they have been known to drive cars through shoppers at Christmas markets, blow up children at a pop concert or chop off the heads of people as a demonstration of how "peaceful" their religion is? Why do they EXPECT to be allowed to marry their own cousins and have several wives in several different households claiming several separate amounts of welfare benefits? Why do they treat women and girls as 2nd class citizens by telling them to wear specific clothing, use separate doors to enter their places of worship and ban them from participating in their own "community" events such as the local mosque fun run? Why do politicians continually pander to their needs, whims and egos despite all of the above? Why do just 6.5% of the population cause so much trouble?

Historian Bill Federer says by By 2030, unchecked Islamic immigration is going to push Muslim majorities into European regions, where bloc voting installs Sharia law by force. Entire cities have already been swallowed whole. Egypt and North Africa, once majority Christian for 6 centuries — erased. Turkey, home to all 7 churches of Revelation — conquered and converted. Constantinople, the beating heart of Christendom — fallen. Its grand Hagia Sophia, the world's greatest Christian cathedral for centuries — desecrated into a mosque. Noticing a pattern that's slowly eroding and erasing Christian nations from the planet?

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.

This is how far the Conservative Party has fallen. Stoking anti-Muslim hate and dressing it up as ‘British values’. This does not represent the Britain I know or love - tolerant, diverse and proud of it. The hate being peddled towards Muslims by the Tories has no place in our politics or our society.

Starmer will win the next election. Not because he’s loved. Not because he’s a visionary. Not because he’s Labour. But because he is, in the end, a calm head, whose two main challengers are patently unserious ideologues, who show themselves daily to be unsuitable for the role.
