'More extremists in the UK than the Middle East': Counter-extremism analyst warns the UK is becoming a 'global powerbase' for radical Islam due to Keir Starmer's weakness
Daily Mail ^ | Feb 16 | By AIDAN RADNEDGE

A counter-extremism analyst has warned that Britain risks becoming a 'global powerbase' for radical Islam unless Sir Keir Starmer's government takes action.

Middle East commentator Amjad Taha says the UK finds itself in 'the extraordinary position' of militant Islam spreading on home soil while declining in countries such as Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.

And he warned that there were 'more extremists in the UK than the Middle East' with radical Islamists hiding behind freedom of speech.

He said there was a rise in sectarian voting and independent candidates seeking election on a pro-Gaza ticket could help lead to Britain becoming a 'global powerbase' for radicals.

Mr Taha, who has 1.6million followers on X and Instagram, raised concerns about what he described as harmful teaching in schools and local communities.

His claims come as Sir Keir's Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner launches a new council on Islamophobia, including a potential official definition of the term -and which some critics have suggested could introduce a 'blasphemy law'.

Looks like they don’t have one yet, but if they ever do, they should hold a funeral for free speech, as they have been systemsticsl,y destroying it for awhi,e now, and a blasphemy law will be the Final coup de gras

That’s because in England, nobody ever tells them “no”.

Just like raising children. Now they are out of control and there is no undoing the damage.

Americans still have not come to the realization that Britain has been permantly transformed. From 1914-1945 it forever lost its best people. By 1968 the remnant, vapid, decadent residue had firm power. They changed the immigration laws. The natives embraced neo pagan ,hedonistic decadence. The immigrant masses now define the vibrant core of the culture. Starmer is merely the manifestation of this transformation.It should be noted that Britain had recently elected an overwhelming “Tory” or ostensibly consevative majority, and the nation without Starmer continued its downward spiral unabated.

And the same thing will happen here if the stupid voters continue electing Democrats. Don’t believe it? Wait and see. There is already muslims in Congress and other State Government positions. And their position concerning Infidels hasn’t changed. But the sheep will learn that the hard way.

King Charles! Use your power to call for elections!
Ghosts of England’s Rulers past haunt King Charles and make him do the right thing.
People of England March on the Palace and petition the king for a new election—a million marching feet might cause him to do his duty. Election is the way a free people operate.

Britain has been becoming a ‘global power-base’ for radical Islam long before Keir Starmer......as are other areas in Europe. Once they opened the flood gates from Syria, most were young men flooding into their countries, then of course this was going to happen.

It is tragic to see the British Empire committing suicide. Trump should rethink his partnership with the Brits if terrorists are infiltrating things over there.

The king has power?

If the king still has any power on paper, and tried to exercise it, Parliament might simply revoke that power. Or even defund or end the monarchy.

Worse, ther is, or was (not sure if it is still there) a court in Texas i bekeive it was where sharia law is administered. Peehaps,in other states too.

60 or so % of muslims interviewed here said they would, love to see sharia law as the ,aw of the land- (the other 40% likely didn’t answer honestly for one reason or another)

They committed suicide in 1914.
