More than four million Muslims, both migrants and native-born, now live in Britain. Immigration from Muslim lands has not been halted. The fertility rates of Muslim women in the country far exceeds that of non-Muslims.
Will Britons become a minority in their own country? More on what the increasing Muslim presence means can be found here: “Britain faces a test of identity: Will Britons become a minority in their homeland? – opinion,” by David Ben-Basat, Jerusalem Post, July 19, 2025:
In one of the most provocative speeches heard in the British Parliament in recent years, MP Andrew Bridgen claimed that “over the past 100 years, approximately 250,000 women and girls have been raped in Britain, with 90% of the perpetrators being Muslim.”
His remarks triggered an immediate uproar, but also ignited a deeper debate about immigration failures, the silencing of issues in the name of political correctness, and the influence of ideologically driven minority groups on British governance.
The harrowing revelations from Rotherham, Rochdale, Oxford and other cities – where thousands of girls were sexually exploited by organized gangs, some of Pakistani-Muslim descent – exposed a particularly dark chapter. Official reports confirmed that local authorities failed to intervene for fear of being labeled racist. This wasn’t ignorance, but institutional fear.
Prof. Alexis Jay, who led the Rotherham inquiry, wrote: “Authorities knew, but preferred political quiet over protecting victims.” In this sense, the systemic disregard for these crimes allowed a foreign and dangerous ideology to operate unchecked….
The police in all of the cities where the Pakistani grooming gangs operated, ruining the lives of tens of thousands of British girls, were reluctant to investigate and charge the perpetrators, for fear of being called “racists,” and it took years before the grooming gangs were finally brought to justice.
“Britons have lost the ability to speak the truth out of fear,” journalist David Rose wrote. “We no longer live in a liberal kingdom – but in a political space where communal organization is stronger than the law.”
“What’s unfolding in the UK should raise red flags across Europe. The political Islam creeping into decision-making centers through democratic votes represents a dangerous intersection of liberty and vulnerability.
“The struggle today is not against religion, but against its politicization. Europe – and Britain in particular – must enact legal safeguards to curb the foreign influence of radical elements, preserve national identity, and protect freedom of speech.
If the “religion” in question is Islam, it is already politicized. It has been a religion and a politics and a military handbook since its inception in the seventh century.
Muslims in Britain vote as a bloc, and their key issues have little to do with domestic policies, but with support for Muslims abroad, especially for the Palestinians in their never-ending war against Israel. They are being elected to local councils, becoming mayors (think of Sadiq Khan, mayor of London), and members of Parliament. As their numbers inexorably rise, due to continued immigration, legal and illegal, and to disparate fertility rates, so will their political power. Political Islam is on the march. Politicians are afraid to speak out in favor of Israel as they once did, and Prime Minister Keir Starmer, having failed to call for a ceasefire in Gaza early on as Muslims demanded, found himself forced to issue an apology, insisting that “Labour listens to all communities.”
As Muslims gain high office, they will put in place policies that harm Israel. They will call for the creation of a Palestinian state, cut off the sale of British weapons to Israel, impose boycotts of Israeli products, threaten to arrest Israelis for whom arrest warrants have been issued by the ICC, and more. Non-Muslim politicians who want the support of Muslim voters will yield to their demands. It will become impossible to control immigration from Muslim lands, and their numbers will rise, inexorably. There will be more No-Go areas where non-Muslims will fear to enter. Welfare benefits, upon which so many Muslim migrants rely, will be constantly increased in what we can now understand as a massive transfer of wealth from non-Muslim taxpayers to Muslim welfare recipients. The BBC will be even more of a mouthpiece for Muslim views than it already is, with its constant stream of venomous “documentaries” about Israel and the Palestinians, and a staff that is overwhelmingly anti-Israel. In British schools, Britain will be maligned for its “imperialism,” Winston Churchill will be denounced for his unflattering view of Islam, liberal democracy mocked, and Sharia praised. On the other hand, the history of Muslim conquest will be treated respectfully.
When will this nightmare scenario happen? It will not be necessary for Muslims to be a majority to have such an influence. In countries where Muslims are 20-30% of the population, their cohesion has allowed them to wield great power. Those numbers could be attained by 2040, but only if nothing is done to halt Muslim immigration and to increase deportation, beginning with all those migrants, overwhelmingly Muslims, who have been convicted of crimes. I allow myself to believe that both those measures will be taken in time for the native Britons to save themselves and preserve their country.
