Japan Fights Back Against Muslim Migration
Front Page Magazine ^ | 02/11/2026 | Daniel Greenfield

A few months before his assassination, Charlie Kirk visited Japan and warned that mass migration was seeking to “replace and eradicate Japan by bringing in Indonesians, by bringing in Arabs, by bringing in Muslims”.

With over 100 mosques and over 400,000 Muslims already occupying Japan, even though 95% of Japanese voters oppose Muslim mass migration, a political explosion was bound to occur.

Now, Japanese voters have delivered a striking defeat to the forces of mass migration with a stunning win for Japan’s Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, whom the media has already taken to describing as a ‘Trumpian’ figure for opposing mass migration, her Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), which won its largest victory to date, as did a number of other right-wing parties, including the one Kirk was addressing, demonstrating that voters were tired of mass migration.

In Kawaguchi City, where so many Turkish Muslims now live on welfare that a Turkish candidate announced a run for mayor last year on a platform of “multiculturalism”, another conservative candidate candidate, Yuriko Okamura won with record turnout on a platform of cracking down on foreigners after statistics showed Muslims were 1,000% more likely to commit crimes than the native Japanese population. The media however blamed ‘misinformation’ and claimed that Kawaguchi was the central point for the spread of anti-Muslim xenophobia across Japan.

By contrast, Reiwa Shinsengumi, a far-left party which welcomed mass migration, called for multiculturalism and spent much of its energy campaigning against Israel and for Islamic terrorists, fell from 8 parliamentary seats to only 1 in a crushing defeat for its agenda.

95% of Japanese voters oppose Muslim mass migration, 60% describe Muslims as “radical”, “aggressive” or “backwards” and 62% view them as a “security risk”. The Japanese Left found itself on the wrong side of a debate about setting a cap on mass migration to the country and had no other response except to lecture the majority about its “xenophobia” and “intolerance”.

While Japan has traditionally been highly restrictionist when it came to immigration, its poor birth rate (the average birth rate is 1.15 babies per woman and there were less than 690,000 births in 2024) has forced it to rely more and more on foreign labor. And much of that foreign labor, as Charlie Kirk described, is coming out of Indonesia and other Islamic supremacist countries.

There were 100,000 Muslim occupants in Japan in 2005. By 2023, that shot up to 350,000 and by 2024 it was estimated as having reached 420,000 and is rapidly headed towards the crucial tipping point of half a million. This rapid hypergrowth of Muslim migrant populations is troublingly typical and it’s why so many first world countries across Europe have been so rapidly occupied.

The Japanese were slow to wake up to what was happening as mosques exploded in unexpected places and overflow Islamic ‘prayer’ services began occupying neighborhoods.

The Islamic call to ‘prayer’ and the damnation of infidels (according to Islamic law, most Japanese are ‘pagans’ and can be killed or raped out of hand) now echoes from ‘mega-mosques’ like the Tokyo Mosque with its massive towers and domes where over 5,000 Muslim migrants show up. And this was quickly followed by other demands, for fundamental changes to the Japanese diet, which is extremely ‘non-Halal’ and for Muslim burial plots inside Japan, as well as other ways in which Japan was expected to accommodate Islam.

To many Japanese people, the over 100 mosques occupying parts of their land (up from a dozen a generation ago), the Islamic schools for a growing population of Muslim youth and the expanding demands to change the nature of Japan signal that the Muslim workers are not coming to the country temporarily, but they mean to stay. Over 50,000 Muslims have already obtained permanent resident status and that number appears likely to increase dramatically.

Japan’s low birth rate and aging population at once leaves it in need of foreign labor but also vulnerable to foreign invasion. But Japanese voters pushed back against the occupation.

Prime Minister Takaichi ran on a promise to toughen residency laws and immigration controls. Even as Somali fraud became a nationwide story in America, welfare and visa fraud by migrants was becoming a growing controversy in Japan. As was the abuse of animals by foreigners.

While foreigners were initially not eligible to take part in Japan’s generous welfare state, the growing numbers of migrants in major cities have been able to get themselves and their families on the welfare rolls. And once on the welfare rolls, the invasion subsidizes itself.

Takaichi’s message countered the growing calls for mass migration by many Japanese politicians. For example, Tokyo’s Guidelines for the Promotion of Intercultural Cohesion reads like boilerplate DEI material from any western government, complete with buzzwords about “diversity”, being a “global city” and “a tradition of respect for people with diverse values”.

Last year the ‘Aomori Declaration’ was issued by Japan’s National Governors’ Association which called for the integration of foreign workers, condemned ‘xenophobic’ criticism of mass migration and urged creating an infrastructure to build a “multicultural coexistence”. The ultimate goal was to transform Japan into a “multicultural community” in which the Japanese would be slowly edged out by foreign migrants in the name of “integration” and “multiculturalism.”

The governor of Nara claimed that there were “baseless criticisms targeting foreign residents that are spreading online” and dismissed a “vague anxiety” by “Japanese people, mainly young generations.” While the governor of Miyagi had argued that a Muslim cemetery was necessary and “must happen in spite of the criticism” because “as the number of foreigners increases, so are people who get married and have kids. There are also Japanese people converting to Islam who want an Islamic burial.”

Japanese voters however rejected the proposals for mass migration and multicultural integration and signaled that they want their country to remain Japanese. That will however require more than minor adjustments. Muslim migrants have been able to marry women with citizenship And with the presence of over 100 mosques and nearly half a million Muslims, they will consider Japan to be another outpost of the growing imperial ‘ummah’ of Islam bestraddling the world.

The Muslim Brotherhood and other global Islamist networks have already established a presence in Japan through the mosques, schools and ‘community centers’ that have been set up. Jihadist figures now brag about spreading Islam in Japan. They are not about to give up.

Japanese voters took an important step by choosing their country over an illusory multiculturalism that would allow those who hate them to overrun their country and destroy its culture, its values and its people. But the leftist supporters of mass migration and the Islamic ideology that uses them as a springboard for its conquests will not give up easily.

Japan has a long way ahead of it. And the only way forward is to restore its culture, rebuild its birth rate and to stop being reliant on foreign labor. And if it must rely on foreign labor, fellow Asian nations are a much better choice than importing Indonesian, Pakistani and other laborers from the Muslim world who don’t come to work, only invade plant the conquering flag of Islam.

Getting Japanese citizenship is nearly impossible, so throwing these scumbags out won’t be as difficult.

The way forward is simple. Deport the muslims and do not allow any more in. The problem is islam. Get rid of muslims and the problems go away.

The Japanese have the technology for that little problem.

The work of Rahm Emanual (former ambassodor to Japan). This is how USAID, Soros, and similar organizations operate - they quietly take over the media, and then turn it their way. It’s also how the moderately pro-Russian people of Ukraine were able to be flipped into voting for a hostile anti-Russian government - to the point of starting a war with Russia (for the purpose of ‘weakening Russia’, per former Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin).

Japan's Ministry of Construction has an enormous annual budget of nearly $800 billion dollars(!). It can be the Ministry of Destruction in the near future.

Yep. And I for some reason believe that they, unlike we, have the will to use it.

This sort of thing worries me here in America. Most Americans are against something but it happens anyway. Weakness.

I hope so. It would make for a good example.

Historically, Islamic conquests have been carried out by military invasion. Now it is accomplished through parasitism.

It must be exciting for them now that so many countries open their doors for them and invite them in. It is really strange. Who would have ever believed it. Its not that they are so talented as to build bustling civilizations in their own countries.

In order for their culture and country to survive, the Japanese need to start having kids. The need to get busy!

Maybe it’s already too late. I don’t know.

It is so maddening how the perniciousness of the American left spreads throughout the world. The only thing the democrats produce and export is Evil.

This is likely less about being anti-Muslim as it is Japan being secular for the most part.

Islam isn’t just a cult. It’s a political ideology. A bloody and oppressive one.

Indeed it would. There seems to be quite alot wrong with islam. Muslims don’t seem to be able to get along with anyone, even themselves.
