Never Mind the Bollocks, It's Islam
Steyn Online ^ | 20 October 2025 | Mark Steyn

I've had a rough few days and have emerged from a cloud of medication to a barrage of intemperate emails from British readers demanding to know what I make of Jews being killed on the streets of Manchester, Jews being forbidden from attending footie matches in Birmingham, and Jews being arrested and interrogated for ten hours for perambulating the streets of London while wearing visible marks of their faith.

Well, obviously, I'm shocked, shocked to find Jew-hate going on at Rick's Café Keffiyeh.

But I'm not in the least bit shocked, shocked to find that yet again the public discourse in Britain and Europe and the rest of the west is nowhere near where it needs to be. The de-Jewing of sporting fixtures? As I wrote (here it comes, folks, first of the week) a mere sixteen sodding years ago:

For a glimpse of the future, consider the (for the moment) bizarre circumstances of the recent Davis Cup First Round matches in Sweden. They had been scheduled long ago to be played in the Baltiska Hallen stadium in Malmö. Who knew which team the Swedes would draw? Could have been Chile, could have been Serbia. Alas, it was Israel.

Malmö is Sweden's most Muslim city, and citing security concerns, the local council ordered the three days of tennis to be played behind closed doors.

Does it appear to anyone else that Islam reacts to other religions the way it does because it fears their message. It fears the treatment of women and their education. Why? The Book of Swords says its okay to kill the infidel. Why? What is Islam afraid of? Why does it fear the free choice of religion by the individual? Is the only just punishment for infidelity in Islam stoning the woman to death? How can Islam issue a command for a father to kill his own daughter? Religion of Peace? Hardly. It’s a cult where you tow the line or else.

Islam: the greatest and final EVIL TOTALITARIAN collective. It’s life or death.

You will be assimilated!

I think the Borg from Star Trek was modeled largely after Islam.

Yep. Mark Levin, a very popular conservative talk radio host and author, has been hammering this point on a regular basis.

Both want total submission and control over your life.

However, Islam promises paradise after death.

Leftism promises nihilism.

I wonder who wins? /S
