Thousands in Japan furious, protest first mosque being built in their city…
Revolver News ^ | August 05, 2026

A growing anti-Muslim movement is gaining traction in Japan.

When most people think of Japan, they don’t picture a country with a significant Islamic presence or a growing number of mosques. But the reality may surprise them.

Japan has long been viewed as one of the few remaining countries willing to fiercely protect its national identity, traditions, and culture.

What many of us didn’t realize was that the left had been quietly working its way in all along… just take a look at these numbers.

East Asia Forum:

Japan’s Muslim community has grown rapidly to around 420,000 people

What Japan is experiencing now is similar to what the United States and other Western nations went through decades ago. The country is only beginning to feel the effects of growing Islamic migration, and the political battle lines are already being drawn between the right and the left.

The blip below shows how Japan’s left is now borrowing very familiar Western talking points to promote “diversity” and push for a permanent migrant population.

East Asia Forum:

[…] but intense opposition to a mosque construction in Fujisawa in 2025 illustrates how anti-Muslim sentiment is becoming more organised and politically emboldened, fuelled by social media misinformation and right-wing politicians seeking electoral advantage. Without a coherent national approach to immigration that equips local governments to manage diversity and counters hate speech effectively, Japan risks allowing local flashpoints to define its relationship with an increasingly permanent migrant population.

When you research this topic, you find one article after another that uses these Western left-wing buzzwords and talking points regarding Japan’s concerns over the Muslim invasion.

Manichi:

Discrimination toward foreign residents in Japan has expanded from Koreans and Kurds to Muslims as their population has estimated to have nearly doubled in recent years, according to observers and community members.

Misinformation and hate speech are spreading on Japanese social media, and mosques are receiving a barrage of abusive phone calls and emails.

Some are asking why they are suddenly being targeted. Others are afraid to leave their homes.

Muslims in Japan, including foreign residents and Japanese believers, numbered roughly 420,000 at the end of 2024, up from 230,000 in 2019, according to Hirofumi Tanada, a professor emeritus at Waseda University who studies the faith in Japan. There are now over 160 mosques nationwide.

It’s almost as if the people of Japan don’t stand a chance. Just like everybody in the West, they’ll be guilted, bullied, and threatened into accepting “diversity.”

But as we said earlier, the backlash is growing louder and stronger.

Many Japanese citizens, including a surprising number of young people, don’t want mosques or Muslim cemeteries built in their communities, and they’re now taking to the streets to fight back against this failed “diversity” scheme.

VIDEO AT LINK......................

Japanese citizens asking what’s happening to their country have every right to be heard.

There’s nothing hateful about loving your own culture, protecting your traditions, or wanting the country your children inherit to remain yours. Japan has spent centuries building a distinct national identity, and many people are now asking why preserving that identity is suddenly treated as something shameful or “racist.”

Why is every nation being pushed toward the same borderless, blended, global culture?

And why is Japan now facing the same political battle over mass migration and Islamafication that has already transformed the Western world?

To many of these protesters, it feels like an experiment that started without their consent. Japan remained one of the few countries that fiercely guarded its traditions, social cohesion, and national character. Now, some are wondering whether that very resistance made it the next target.

They need to nip it in the bud now. If one goes up, they’ll only expand the takeover from there. See Texas. Or any other state. Or Canada. Or any European country. They are a world takeover operation disguised as a religion.

"They are a world takeover operation disguised as a religion."

They are an intolerant, aggressive, nihilistic, bloodthirsty, rapacious cult. They are the end of Western Civilization, and will bring about a new Dark Age. For whatever reason, the West as a whole refuses to recognize and accept that.

Which is why if any Imam, any mosque, or any Islamic school that in any way promotes Islamic expansion and takeover, or institution of Sharia should immediately lose all tax exemptions and be taxed at enormously high rates - as a first step. I would also get animal rights activists involved in stopping Halal-type food preparation that involves cruelty to animals. Prohibit full facial coverings in work places or any context in which identification is essential etc.

Growing??? With due respect to the author, does he / she know Japanese history? The Japanese are notoriously xenophobic when it comes to religion. They were the only country that successfully kept Christianity out when Spain and Portugal were spreading Catholicism everywhere during the Age of Discovery. And they did it by torturing and killing priests or keeping them confined to limited areas. Its always a huge revelation to the ignorant Woke liberals in the West that most countries around the world are incredibly xenophobic and hostile to non-native religions. China included - there was a story about how an entire town in China rioted when a Sudanese Muslim tried to take a Chinese girl to a dance in China. India, which is held up as a multi-religious society, regularly has religious riots and persecution of Christians. The West is the only place that is tolerant of multiple religions.

Go Japan. You’re ahead of us with respect to the ‘religion’ of intolerance and misogyny. You have standards and they do not...at least the same standards that civilized countries do.

It certainly isn’t 1941, anymore.

In 1999 there were 15 mosques in Japan.

Now there are over 170.

So it sounds like the woman leader is all talk and no action just like the woman leader in Italy.

Japanese are doing the right thing in keeping muslims out. As dictated by the koran, muslims goals are enslavement or death. This is well documented that muslims demand control once they get the vote and will take control. I know people who are moving rather than reside near a mosque. Its only getting worse with the muslim population quadrupling over the last eight years thanks to the socialist dems. Dems like Sanders must be receiving millions of dollars from China and Russia for his support of muslims and socialists.

They really need to take a look at where the money flow to build all the mosques comes from. We've all seen churches startup. A couple of families. Meet in a house. Then maybe a movie theater or an auditorium. Then perhaps a run down commercial building in an old outdated industrial park. There is a sort of life cycle to it.

On the other hand, Muslims show up and buy a old Christian church and turn it into a mosque as has been their habit for centuries, usually taking it in conquest. Or they build a beautiful new mosque or "Islamic Center" in a trendy part of town.

I've served as vice-Chair of my church's management board. I understand church finances. I look at the number of people going into those mosque's and centers and I can tell you with certainty that they aren't paying for it. The money is coming from somewhere and we need to find out how they do it and interrupt it, probably under regulation of foreign interests because that money isn't coming from the USA.

Looks like they may be heading for a losing battle - the same one we're fighting - trying to stop the Islamification of the West.

Japan has traitors on the inside of their government, just as in the West:

Agree. This is big money coming from these muslim countries/group/organizations. All part of the red/green alliance to destroy western culture and take over the world, as nuts as that sounds.
