Muslim leader claims that UK is suffering from a ‘tidal wave of Islamophobia’ {28.January.2025}

The UK is suffering from a “tidal wave of Islamophobia,” the outgoing leader of one of the country’s largest Muslim bodies has warned.

Zara Mohammed has served as the first female leader of the Muslim Council of Britain since 2021, and through her tenure tackled nationwide riots last year, the COVID-19 pandemic, and being frozen out of government contact.

Ahead of her departure as MCB general secretary on Saturday, Mohammed spoke to the BBC about the difficulties she has faced over the last four years.

“It was the Southport riots for us that made it really quite alarming,” she said, referring to nationwide disorder last year in the wake of a stabbing attack in Southport.

“It was so visceral. We were watching on our screens: People breaking doors down, stopping cars, attacking taxi drivers, smashing windows, smashing mosques,” she told the BBC. “The kind of evil we saw was really terrifying and I felt like, am I even making a difference?”

The rioting was partly triggered by false online rumors that the attacker was a Muslim asylum-seeker….

In the year since the war in Gaza began, monitoring group Tell Mama UK recorded 4,971 instances of Islamophobic hate in Britain — the highest figure in 14 years….

“There has been such a normalization of Islamophobic rhetoric without it being challenged or condemned,” she added….

Abuse of Muslim politicians across the UK, including former Scottish First Minister Humza Yousaf and London Mayor Sadiq Khan, demonstrates a broader trend of rising Islamophobia, Mohammed said….

Easy fix: Muslims stop raping, murdering, throwing acid on people, and stop attacking people.

“Phobia” does not capture the concept of loathing.

Britain will be the first western nation to become a caliphate. It’s almost unbelievable. They went from a great empire full of brilliant and historic figures to this in only a few generations. What will happen to British Christians? Where will they go? Will they become victims of genocide?

The entire Western world is being ended. America is not out of the woods.

Yes, it’s so terrible that all of you should leave the evil UK and go back to your filthy, degenerate countries. Take Starmer with you.

Always blame the innocent for what you yourself are guilty of.

If a Muslim rips your throat out, you, the victim are to blame for you harbored a mild fear of the world’s most violent and intolerant religion on the planet.

If Muslims commit GENOCIDE on Israeli Jews, well obviously those murdered and raped Israelis had a deep seated Islamophobic feelings before they were butchered.

This is all an Islamic smokescreen to put the Infidels on the defensive.

Fellow normal and peaceful people, do not submit to these lies and fabrications. They are running amok and need to be shipped back to their failed nation states ASAP.

“tidal wave of Islamophobia”...?

Apparently what that phrase has a new meaning. Apparently it’s an expression of frustration, and its ACTUAL meaning is that the full Sharia takeover of all the government and judiciary of the Infidel nations is taking longer than anticipated.

Anyone that does not like what is going on in their nation is accused of some sort of “phobia”.

Object to having your history, culture, religion, language, and customs stolen from you is a “phobia” which the government will punish while leaving Muslims to keep theirs.

Two separate cultures can not co-exist unless one if overwhelmingly stronger then the other. Slowly Muslims have been taking over Europe and the UK.

Muslims use their faith (and violence) to maintain their society while systematically dismantling their host nations society.

So as western civilization weakens itself with woke ideology and abortions Muslims become stronger.

Will they eventually take it all?

And in any case, it's islamomisia.

Show me one example of how islam was a beneficial addition to any city, state, or country. They have zero interest in anything other than taking over.

There’s that word “phobia” again. Meant to intimidate and silence. Nobody is “afraid” of it, we don’t like it, it’s not compatible with western Society.

This is hilarious. The UK establishment continues to import Muslims at an astonishing rate and the few last feeble signs of resistance from the native population are called “Islamophobia”.

You can thank Perfidious Albion for the invasion of the horde.

If Islamophobia means disgusted by the influx of a violent and combative culture, then yeah.
