Douglas Murray has become internationally famous—as much as a serious writer of non-fiction can be—rightly hailed around the world for his heroic reportage from Israel during the current war on Hamas.
This from frontpagemag.com.
His splendid books The Strange Death of Europe (2017), The Madness of Crowds (2019), and The War on the West (2021) were deserved bestsellers. And since October 7, Murray—born in 1979, a graduate of Eton and of Magdalen College, Oxford—when he hasn’t been in Israel, he’s been traveling all over much of the Western world, giving endless talks and interviews and participating in debates, in which he inevitably triumphs.
His writings, his speeches, and his comments—award winning on both sides of the Atlantic—have been focused largely on Islam, a topic on which, unlike many other commentators, he admirably refuses to euphemize. And why? Because Murray understands the importance of calling attention to the elephant in the room:
– [H]e recognizes the brutal Hamas attack on Israel, and the immigrant crisis currently facing Europe, are based in the founding tenets of Islam—period, and
– [H]e refuses to use such phony terms as ‘Islamism’ or ‘radical Islam’ or ‘[moslem] extremism.’
Meanwhile the careers of two other Englishmen have been advancing as well.
Nigel Farage is also a British hero.
– For twenty years, the sixty-year-old former businessman led the ultimately successful movement to separate the United Kingdom from the European Union. His principal argument for separation was that the U.K. needed to take back its right to control immigration into its territory.
– Yet he consistently avoided the reason why it was important to restrict the massive influx of foreigners into Britain. The problem wasn’t with the Hindus or Buddhists or black Caribbeans or sub-Saharan Africans who’d moved to the U.K. These groups did a terrific job of integrating into British society and tended to earn more money than most native Englishmen.
– No, the problem [is] Islam.
Douglas Murray has had no trouble saying so. Nigel Farage, on the other hand, seems to be tiptoeing into these dangerous waters, but he’s still a long way from spelling things out as clearly as Murray does.
Pretty much the entire British political establishment refuses to breathe a critical word about Islam.
– [E]ven though the main reason for Brexit was that Brits wanted to retake control of their borders, both main parties, Labour and the Tories, have done little to prevent the large-scale influx of immigrants, mostly illegal, mostly adult men, and mostly [moslem].
– The Westminster establishment’s attitude toward this issue is perfectly in line with the views of privileged North London—Britain’s equivalent of Northwest Washington, the Upper West Side of New York, and the tonier parts of San Francisco and L.A.—but it’s totally at odds with the wishes of the British (or at least the English) public at large.
On July 4, Britain will hold a general election in which the now-reigning Tories, who rode to victory on big promises of tighter border security, are expected to go down to ignominious—and well-deserved—defeat. Labour is expected to do well, although it hasn’t exactly covered itself in glory either. Then there’s the third major party, the Liberal Democrats. But the wild card is Farage’s party, Reform UK, founded in 2018 as the Brexit Party, whose strident calls for immigration reform and tax cuts have gained it a significant following. How significant? We’ll see on July 4.
So, you now know more about Douglas Murray and Nigel Farage, but there’s a third hero in this struggle to awaken the English to the moslem invasion overtaking their island. Tommy Robinson, for years has been saying essentially the same things about Islam that Murray has. But he’s gotten no respect for it. The sole reason: the British class system. Tommy, age 41, is a working-class lad from working-class Luton, and he learned about Islam the hard way—by living in its midst.
As a young man he read the Koran and recognized just how horrible a book it is. When he whipped out a copy of the Holy Book on Good Morning, Britain seven years ago and warned of the dangerous language contained within it, Piers Morgan ordered him to “have some respect” and “put it down.” When Tommy quoted Winston Churchill’s criticism of Islam, Morgan called him a “lunatic,” “inflammatory” and “poisonous.” The same Piers Morgan has in recent weeks rolled out the red carpet for Douglas Murray and listened respectfully while he said more or less the same things about Islam that Tommy said on that morning show all those years ago.
Again, that’s the British class system for you. The class system is why Tommy Robinson has been arrested and imprisoned several times for saying and doing things for which the authorities would never dare to touch Douglas Murray, a graduate of Eton and Oxford with the poshest imaginable accent and with professional and personal connections at the very highest levels.
Now comes the news that Tommy has been arrested yet again—this time in Canada. Reportedly, he was taken into custody right after giving a speech at a conference center in Calgary under the auspices of Ezra Levant’s news and opinion website Rebel News. His passport was confiscated; the reason given for his arrest was an “outstanding immigration warrant.”
Tommy, for his part, called the arrest “insane.” He was let go sometime later, but said that he had been told not to leave Calgary, which in itself sounds like cruel and unusual punishment, and which will effectively prevent him from continuing his lecture tour of Canada, which was to have included stops in Edmonton and Toronto. Meanwhile he’s also in legal hot water back home, thanks to the destructive efforts of the group Hope Not Hate—a British equivalent, roughly speaking, of the malevolent Southern Poverty Law Center. Just think of it: if only he sounded a bit less like Stanley Holloway and a bit more like Rex Harrison (gotta love My Fair Lady), Tommy Robinson would be getting a lot less trouble from the cops and a lot more praise from the blue bloods.
Final thoughts: Apologies for going off deep end England on you, Def-Con News readers. However, what caught my interest with this article by Bruce Bawer on Front Page Magazine was the long-time ongoing efforts of a few in England to sound the clarion over the moslem invasion of their beloved country.
Yes, the elephant in the room for the English is the growing moslem population which will soon—if it hasn’t already—overtake the ethnic English. And of greater importance to me, a Patriotic American, is the growing population of moslems in America as well as the growing number of moslems in American politics, including the three presidential terms of a Kenyan moslem ether as president or as puppeteer.
I sincerely believe the elephant in the room of American politics—Islam—must be effectively addressed or we will very soon forfeit our beloved country to the founding tenets of Islam.
God speed to the Take Back of our Constitutional Republic.
