Farage challenged over his comments on British Muslims
BBC ^ | June 4 | BBC

Posted on 06/04/2024 2:25:53 AM PDT by RandFan

He's challenged over previous comments he's made, suggesting that a growing number of Muslims do not subscribe to British values.

He says there was "sectarian voting" in the local elections, and later says if a large portion of "young British Muslims support in any way Hamas, jihad or any of these concepts we have a very, very real problem".

The interview moves on, and Farage says: "If people come to our country, don't speak our language, don't integrate in the community, then we have cities and towns that become literally unrecognisable."

Challenged for an example, he says: "I could take you to streets in Oldham [Northern UK town] right now where no-one speaks English."

It's put to him that people could speak more than one language, and he's asked if his children speak more than one language, but Farage says he won't comment on his own children and "it's pretty poor form" for others to do so.

The West replaced their aborted children with jihadists. That seems like bad policy to me.

Decolonize England and send back foreign invaders. Muslims think the entire world belongs to them, you can’t be nice to them, they see you as a sucker to be taken advantage of.

Western Europe + Muslim invasion + nuclear weapons = unacceptible.

The more one speaks the truth, the greater the blowback from our offended Liberals who are blind to facts and trends.

Of course they don’t and we have the same issue here. However it isn’t just Muslims

A lot of the aborted ones weren’t much better. But what the West REALLY replaced their children with were career-driven working women.

Per the UK’s own stats, 40% of London’s population is now foreign born.

Farage isn’t wrong.

Is Islam a British value?

No.

Is Chrisitianity a British value?

Yes. At least it was for hundreds and hundreds of years previously, until modern political times.

It comes down to whether the British want to save their country or not. It is obvious the journalistas at the BBC do not.

Pick up a history book. EVERY SOCIETY THAT TOLERATED THIS DEATH CULT WOUND UP BEING ISLAMICIZED AND DRAGGED BACK INTO A SOCIAL DARKNESS THAT MAKES THE ANCIENT WORLD LOOK MODERN. Whatever Ferage said about Islam, ITS AN UNDERSTATEMENT.

“How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property – either as a child, a wife, or a concubine – must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men. Thousands become the brave and loyal soldiers of the faith: all know how to die but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science, the science against which it had vainly struggled, the civilisation of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilisation of ancient Rome.”

― Winston Churchill, The River War

Given the growing Muslim population in the UK, and their high birth rates - and low birthrates among native Britons, it’s only a matter of time before Muslims are the majority population.

And saying what Farage said would get him a one-way trip off of a tall building.
