The British colonialism lasted a few centuries, left behind railroads, legal systems, education, and modern institutions.
It wasn't perfect. It had its sins. But it also built.
The British brought modern medicine, science, engineering, and governance. They opened schools, built cities, printed books, developed infrastructure, and left behind functioning states, many of which are now sovereign global players.
Now compare that to Islamic colonialism,
1,400 years long, relentless, brutal, and still ongoing.
It left behind slavery, tribalism, religious apartheid, cultural erasure, and the complete destruction of countless civilizations.
In India alone, Islamic invasions are estimated to have killed 80 million Hindus.
Entire cultures, Zoroastrians, Berbers, Assyrians, Nubians, Copts, were wiped out, Arabized, or reduced to second-class citizens.
Native languages were erased. Indigenous philosophies were buried under Arabic supremacism. Libraries were destroyed.
Islamic empires didn't bring modernity.
They stole achievements from conquered people, translated their works, stamped Arabic on them, and claimed the glory.
What was preserved from the Greeks, Persians, and Indians wasn't Islamic brilliance, it was Islamic appropriation.
Islamic colonialism didn't leave behind parliaments, constitutions, or democratic institutions.
It left behind dictatorships, theocracies, blasphemy laws, and sharia brutality.
It replaced thinkers with clerics, debate with dogma, and diversity with submission.
Never put British and Islamic colonialism in the same category.
British colonialism built nations. Islamic colonialism buried them.

“Other than that, what have the British ever done for us?”
LOL!
Leftists who claim they are siding with Islam because of western imperialism are the biggest hypocritical dolts on the planet. Islam has been the ultimate in ugly, vicious imperialistic colonizing.
Dang it, I was just looking For that!
In India, they ended the practice of killing a widow after her husband died. That’s the one place where Islam was superior to Hindu. The islamists understood the value of a mother if a father went to his 72. Other than that Islamic culture only produced a few not religious notables like Omar Khayyam’s advances in algebra and calculus. And he was probably Zoroastrian
British ended the kill a widow practice
The British brought cricket to many of their colonies where it is still popular. Fortunately, cricket developed after the Thirteen Colonies were settled.
Do note, India defeated the Brits….the end of their sunset Empire.

Wonder how long round 2 is going to last.

WWI and WWII defeated the Brits...They had nothing left in the tank.
The British treat Ukraine like it’s their colony.
True.
this didn’t help either https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ten_Pound_Poms
That’s how the members of AC/DC moved from Scotland to Australia
And the Brits got Jamaicans in return.

The Bee Gees left England for Australia.
they were Brits to begin with, they just went back later on
And now British colonizers are allowing themselves to be colonized by Islamic colonizers. Ironic isn’t it?
Jamaicans weren’t really a problem. A lot of the early commonwealth immigrants loved Britain and it was common for them to put a picture of the queen up on the mantlepiece.
In later decades, they became entitled and hostile. Aggravated by subversive leftists and segregationist Islam.
True, it’s the second generation that causes the problem, especially the Muslims, they are the ones who get radicalized.
