Nigel Farage called out for 'blanket accusation' as he says 'growing number' of Muslims 'loathe' British values

Nigel Farage has argued on Sky News that a "growing number" of young Muslims in the UK do not subscribe to British values.

The Reform UK honorary president told Sky News's Sunday Morning With Trevor Phillips: "We have a growing number of young people in this country who do not subscribe to British values.

"In fact, loathe much of what we stand for. I think we see them on the streets of London every Saturday."

Asked if "we are talking about Muslims here", Mr Farage said: "We are. And I'm afraid I found some of the recent surveys saying that 46% of British Muslims support Hamas - support a terrorist organisation that is proscribed in this country."

The former UKIP and Brexit Party leader was quoting a poll commissioned by the Henry Jackson Society in April that found one in four British Muslims believe Hamas committed murder and rape in Israel on 7 October last year.

Hamas killed around 1,200 people and took more than 250 hostages in the raid on southern Israel. Since then, Israel's response in Gaza has killed more than 35,000 people, according to the Hamas-run health ministry - and the war has become a divisive issue in British politics.

Yakub is “nation of Islam” mythology . I don’t think “Normal” Muslims believe that .

Trump said he'd give Nigel Farage a job.

Please, please, make him your press secretary!

Farage has turned himself into a political eunuch by not standing for election. Unfortunately for the UK he will now never become PM.

A “growing number” pretty much by definition isn’t a “blanket statement”, but rather a relative quantification.

Britain is lost, as is France and Germany. Meanwhile, deep in the bowels of Hell, Hitler is proud of his progeny.

Muslims in Britain have been raping white women for decades now, yet it was racist to say so.

Once muslims get the vote here comes shariah law and killing infidels. England is finished as we knew it.

As one of his countrymen famously said, “In a time of universal deceit - telling the truth is a revolutionary act.”

The HAMAS massacre in Israel, adjacent to Gaza, is potentially a mere 5 years years ahead of what could happen in the UK, 7 years ahead of a what could happen in Europe, and 9 years ahead of a comparable North American scenario.

That timeline could get set back, depending on how completely Israel eradicates HAMAS.

If Israel’s eradication of HAMAS is robust and PDJT is inaugurated in 1/2025, an incursion comparable to Oct. 7 will not likely happen in the US in the remainder of this century.

What are “British values”? Whimsicality, poetry, pederasty?

Islam declared itself to be the enemy of all other flags at its very begging. Its goal is total world conquest under the rule of one man as outlined in their “holy book”.

It took several centuries but Spain ran them out in 1492.

How did you arrive at that timeline I think it’s a bit closer than that

The “slowing factor” that you and I might think differently about is perhaps the current lack of ubiquity of a range of weapons to insurrectionists.

Though knives can create relatively localized mayhem, law enforcement and the military have a huge advantage with tear gas, crowd-quelling bullets (rubber and lead) and other weapons not generally available to the populace.
