This will make for an interesting conversation between this self-righteous destroyer of her own nation and President Trump.
Theresa May recently boasted about having banned me from the country, and likened me to violent jihad terrorists. I was actually banned for noting, quite correctly, that “[Islam] is a religion and is a belief system that mandates warfare against unbelievers…” That is what May thinks is the flip side of jihad terrorism. Meanwhile, May’s Britain has a steadily lengthening record of admitting jihad preachers without a moment of hesitation. Syed Muzaffar Shah Qadri’s preaching of hatred and jihad violence was so hardline that he was banned from preaching in Pakistan, but the UK Home Office welcomed him into Britain. The UK Home Office recently admitted Shaykh Hamza Sodagar into the country, despite the fact that he has said: “If there’s homosexual men, the punishment is one of five things. One – the easiest one maybe – chop their head off, that’s the easiest. Second – burn them to death. Third – throw ’em off a cliff. Fourth – tear down a wall on them so they die under that. Fifth – a combination of the above.” May’s government also recently admitted two jihad preachers who had praised the murderer of a foe of Pakistan’s blasphemy laws. One of them was welcomed by the Archbishop of Canterbury. Meanwhile, it banned three bishops from areas of Iraq and Syria where Christians are persecuted from entering the country.
What does Theresa May think is going to be the outcome of all this? Does she think that by admitting jihad preachers such as Syed Muzaffar Shah Qadri and jihad terrorists such as Jamshid Piruz into the U.K., while banning foes of jihad terror, she will pacify her restive and growing Muslim population, and obviate the jihad imperative? Does she really believe that if “Islamophobia” is stamped out, Muslims will see no need to respond with jihad?
Imagine how surprised she will be when she has managed to silence every last critic of Islam and jihad, and jihad will still rear its bloody head in her green and pleasant land. But it boggles the mind to think she could be this stupid in the first place. Is there no one in the British government with sufficient knowledge and courage to take the Prime Minister aside and explain to her that jihad violence arises from imperatives within Islam itself, which will not be blunted, calmed, or discarded in the face of kindness from infidels?
“Britain’s Theresa May in U.S.: Islam is Peaceful, Globalism Good, Climate Change a Priority,” by Raheem Kassam, Breitbart, January 26, 2017:
British Prime Minister Theresa May used her speech in Philadelphia to needle the new Trump administration on a number of issues ranging from globalism to climate change, Islam, and even to defending the European Union.Clearly, she is abandoning Brexit, which is no surprise at all. It remains to be seen whether there are enough free Britons to cast her out of office and install a Prime Minister who will make Brexit a reality.
Mrs. May began her speech at the Republican Retreat in Philadelphia with a brief history of Anglo-American relations, invoking the spirit of the Founding Fathers of the U.S. as well as expressing gratitude towards America’s involvement in the World Wars of the 20th century.
But her speech was also littered with politically correct terms, as well as left and center-left talking points regarding international institutions, Islam, and radical Islamic terrorism, the latter of which she called “Islamist extremism”.
The British premier compared “open, liberal and democratic” societies in the West versus “closed, coercive” ones. She hailed the United Nations, praised the World Bank, and called NATO “the cornerstone” of Western defense.
And Mrs. May also spoke of the necessity for multilateralism in stark contrast with the line pushed by the White House — which prefers bilateralism — over recent days. She cited the need to tackle “climate change” as one of the reasons to back globalist institutions.
She called for the two nations to be “internationalist” and “global”, though noted “Some of these organisations are in need of reform and renewal”.
And while committing to the destruction of the Islamic State, she failed to mention the name of the group, choosing instead the term “Daesh” — a word preferred by politically correct types and most notably popularized by former Secretary of State John Kerry and President Barack Obama.
She went on to describe “radical Islamists”, stopping short of echoing the phrases used by the new U.S. administration including “radical Islamic terrorism”.
The British PM stated: “Of course we should always be careful to distinguish between this extreme and hateful ideology and the peaceful religion of Islam, and the hundreds of millions of its adherents, including millions of our own citizens, and those further afield who are so often the first victims of this ideology’s terror”….
Curiously, despite Britain’s Brexit vote, Mrs. May said of the European Union: “We will build a new partnership with our friends in Europe. We are not turning our back on them, or on the interests and the values that we share. It remains overwhelmingly in our interests – and in those of the wider world – that the EU should succeed”.
