Zoning Conflict Emerges: Islamic 'Cleric' Trying to Buy Scottish Island to Set Up Sharia Kingdom

There's a lot to unpack here. Most of the origins of what's unfolding now are self-induced misery, including some related breaking news happening in the United Kingdom, even as I am trying to get this post put together.

The two main problems that are blatantly obvious and completely ignored through all of this are excessively lax immigration and asylum policies on behalf of Western countries - particularly if they nurture any collective colonial guilt at all - and the absolute refusal of those afforded the opportunity to immigrate to assimilate.

Hell - not even assimilate. How about the ability to just appreciate the gift of a new life in a country where one is possible and, in many cases, that road is now paved with handouts for you.

About 20 years ago, the kind-hearted people of Britain welcomed a radical Kuwaiti Shia cleric, Sheikh Yasser al-Habib. In 2004, al-Habib had been sprung from serving the Kuwaiti prison sentence (earned by insulting various Islamic sacred persons near and dear to ruling Sunnis) by a mysterious pardon from the Emir, which, mere hours later, was found to have been a "mistake" and police were sent to arrest him.

Al-Habib had long since booked out of the country to Iraq, where he became something of a minor celebrity preaching Islamic fire and brimstone, even as he kept his head low thanks to the U.S. invasion. I can only imagine that's how, in the chaos of that war, Britain allowed him to immigrate and eventually granted him asylum.

Landing in London, he fired up something called "The Rafida Movement." Rafida means "rejectors" in Arabic, and basically, these believers "reject" the legitimacy of the caliphates that followed after the death of Muhammed. In simple terms, what it boils down to is one more grudge match between Islamic sects.

Unmolested by any pesky Kuwaiti regime religious strictures and ensuing penalties for running afoul of the state's Sunni sect, al-Habib happily settled into building his own little hard-line Islamic network and training facilities smack in the middle of London. As his fame, finances, and network grew, thanks again to the freedom he enjoys as an asylum grantee, he's spread into training camps and schools for followers of his particularly hard-line version of Islam. And he only preaches in Arabic.

Along the way, he's gotten himself dubbed "The Hate Cleric" bolstered by the cheerful sermons (in Arabic) he broadcasts over his own TV station - Fadak TV - to his 400K followers from his private compound tucked away in Fulmer, in picturesque Buckinghamshire.

Al-Habib has raised nearly £3.5M to buy an isolated island off the coast of Scotland so he can move his whole bloody Mahdi Servants Union group out and start his very own Sharia kingdom...or sheikdom. The few British laws he does have to follow are seemingly becoming a burden, cramping his style.

Now, everyone is in an uproar, so I'm sure he's happy he's also proving how racist and Islamophobic they all are, too.

He's got the word going out over the airwaves, and while Britain will shut you down for misgendering a man in a dress or having a kitchen knife that's an inch too long, they'll let this guy build an army under their noses and run his jibs unmolested.

It's certainly not "British." But with the classic British understatement of these two very careful TV commentators, you can see how it happens.

One fellow on X had the unmitigated gall to express the opinion that someone who stabbed children on a Monday morning should be shot, and wound up having to crawl backwards frantically from outraged blowback from fellow English (!!!) in comments, disavowing that he meant anything like a British CITIZEN being able to defend themselves.

Now, the fellow that owns the island has supposedly said, "Hell no," but it remains to be seen if the Sheik gives up on his dream of a Sharia kingdom. The new Labour government surely won't be the ones to foil his plans.

"Chronically unable to expel even someone so hostile" brings me to this morning's news out of England, and it's horrible.

Reports are right now that a 17-year-old broke into a little kids' Taylor Swift theme party at a daycare...and started slashing away.

A local councillor is the closest thing to an "official" who has named the suspect I am seeing emerging everywhere, although the Mercy police are maintaining their silence.

This is the same Starmer whose Labour reversed the Rwanda deal. That's the one the Tories had worked out to start deporting illegals who had crossed the Channel, flooding into Britain, as, if this is indeed the right person, this suspect may have.

Not only that, then Labour then immediately stuck a finger in the eye of every Brit who wants their country back to boot.

It's getting so bad you can't even hide from the violence and migrant flood on an island in the Hebrides anymore.

How Islam progressively takes over countries By Mark Ellis

In Dr. Peter Hammonds book, Slavery, Terrorism and Islam, he documents the way Muslims slowly develop a presence in various countries and as their population numbers build, become more aggressive and assertive about exercising Sharia law.

Islam is not a religion, nor is it a cult. In its fullest form, it is a complete, total, 100% system of life, Dr. Hammond notes in his book. Islam has religious, legal, political, economic, social, and military components. The religious component is a beard for all of the other components.

Their takeover of a country, what Dr. Hammond refers to as Islamization, begins when the population of Muslims reaches a critical mass, and they being to agitate for various privileges.

Open, free, democratic societies are particularly vulnerable. When politically correct, tolerant, and culturally diverse societies agree to Muslim demands for their religious privileges, some of the other components tend to creep in as well, he notes.

This is how it works, according to Dr. Hammond:

When the Muslim population remains under 2% in a country, they will be seen primarily as a peace-loving minority and not as a threat to other citizens. This is the current situation in:

United States Muslim 0.6% Australia Muslim 1.5% Canada Muslim 1.9% China Muslim 1.8% Italy Muslim 1.5% Norway Muslim 1.8%

As the Muslim population reaches 2% to 5%, they begin to recruit from ethnic minorities and disaffected groups, within prisons and street gangs. This is happening in:

Denmark Muslim 2% Germany Muslim 3.7% United Kingdom Muslim 2.7% Spain Muslim 4% Thailand Muslim 4.6%

From 5% on, they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population, Dr. Hammond notes. For example, they will push for the introduction of halal (clean by Islamic standards) food and increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature such food on their shelves along with threats for failure to comply. This is happening in:

France Muslim 8% Philippines 5% Sweden Muslim 5% Switzerland Muslim 4.3% The Netherlands Muslim 5.5% Trinidad & Tobago Muslim 5.8%

Soon they begin to apply pressure to allow Sharia law within their own communities (sometimes ghettos).

When Muslims approach 10% of the population, they tend to increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions, Dr. Hammond notes. In Paris, we are already seeing car-burnings. Any non-Muslim action offends Islam, and results in uprisings and threats, such as in Amsterdam, with opposition to Mohammed cartoons and films about Islam. These tensions are seen on a regular basis in: Guyana Muslim 10% Riots in Pakistan, 2013 Riots in Pakistan, 2013 India Muslim 13.4% Israel Muslim 16% Kenya Muslim 10% Russia Muslim 15%

The violence increases when the Muslim population reaches 20%. After reaching 20%, nations can expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad militia formations, sporadic killings, and the burnings of Christian churches and Jewish synagogues, such as in:

Ethiopia Muslim 32.8% At 40%, nations experience widespread massacres, chronic terror attacks, and ongoing militia warfare, such as in:

Bosnia Muslim 40% Chad Muslim 53.1% Lebanon Muslim 59.7% From 60%, persecution of non-believing infidels rises significantly, including sporadic ethnic cleansing (genocide), use of Sharia law as a weapon, and Jizya, a tax placed on infidels, such as in: Albania Muslim 70% Malaysia Muslim 60.4% Qatar Muslim 77.5% Sudan Muslim 70%

After 80%, expect daily intimidation and violent jihad, some State-run ethnic cleansing, and even some genocide, as these nations drive out infidels, and move toward a 100% Muslim society, which has been experienced to some degree in:

Bangladesh Muslim 83% Egypt Muslim 90% Gaza Muslim 98.7% Indonesia Muslim 86.1% Iran Muslim 98% Iraq Muslim 97% Jordan Muslim 92% Morocco Muslim 98.7% Pakistan Muslim 97% Palestine Muslim 99% Syria Muslim 90% Tajikistan Muslim 90% Turkey Muslim 99.8% United Arab Emirates Muslim 96%

A 100% Muslim society will theoretically usher in their version of peace the peace of Dar-es-Salaam the Islamic House of Peace. Here theres supposed to be peace, because everybody is a Muslim, the Madrassas are the only schools, and the Koran is the only word, such as in:

Afghanistan Muslim 100% Saudi Arabia Muslim 100% Somalia Muslim 100% Yemen Muslim 100%

Dr. Hammond observes this Islamic ideal is seldom realized. Unfortunately, peace is never achieved, as in these 100% states the most radical Muslims intimidate and spew hatred, and satisfy their blood lust by killing less radical Muslims, for a variety of reasons.

It is important to understand that in some countries, with well under 100% Muslim populations, such as France, the minority Muslim populations live in ghettos, within which they are 100% Muslim, and within which they live by Sharia law, he states.

Dr. Hammond is also concerned by demographic trends. Todays 1.5 billion Muslims make up 22% of the worlds population, he observes. But their birth rates dwarf the birth rates of Christians, Hindus, Buddhists, Jews, and all other believers. Muslims will exceed 50% of the worlds population by the end of this century.

Dr. Peter Hammond is a missionary who has pioneered evangelistic outreaches in the war zones of Mozambique, Angola and Sudan. Peter has travelled hundreds of thousands of miles to deliver Bibles to persecuted Christians in Africa and Eastern Europe.

He is the Founder and Director of Frontline Fellowship, the Founder and Chairman of Africa Christian Action, the Director of the Christian Action Network and the Chairman of The Reformation Society and the author of numerous missions-related books. He is the Editor of both Frontline Fellowship News and Christian Action.

Peter has developed the Biblical Worldview Seminar and Great Commission Course to mobilize churches to comprehensively apply the Lordship of Christ to all areas of life and to fulfill the Great Commission.

Peter was born in Cape Town and brought up in Rhodesia now Zimbabwe. He converted to Christ in 1977, worked in Scripture Union and Hospital Christian Fellowship, served in the South African Defense Force and studied at Baptist Theological College, Cape Town. He also earned a Doctorate in Missiology.
