I was in Ireland when this broke on March 3rd and it led the BBC evening news broadcast. It was amazing to watch and hear Britain’s Muslim prime minister, London’s Muslim mayor, and the BBC’s Muslim newsreader, each intone that Mr. Anderson’s remarks were “insensitive, racist, and Islamophobic.”
Those words were repeated verbatim by these three men in rapid succession in brief clips in case YOU, the ignorant public, failed to get it.
They beat this story to such an extent that I concluded that what MP Anderson claims is true. If they weren’t, they would’ve laughed him and his claims off as a joke. They did not.
A chorus of public leaders, all of whom happen to be Muslim, told the British public that Muslims are not taking over Britain. Hilarious if it weren’t so tragic.
