Muslim Cheerleaders Are Making the Same Mistake as the Trans Lobbyists

The tipping point, jumping the shark, enough is enough – however you want to express it, the communal prayer in Trafalgar Square was one raised bottom too many for a lot of people, Nick Timothy MP included. It is worth pausing for a moment to consider why it was this particular event that aggravated the ordinary chap in the street. I think it’s less the specifically Islamic aspect of the event, rather the in-your-face-nature of it all. It seems that those seeking to make Islam ‘mainstream’ and ‘nothing to be frightened of’ and ‘just another way of being’ are making the same mistake as the extreme end of the trans lobby: forcing it down our throats.

Britain is a tolerant country but what we dislike more than anything is ‘showing off’. The kids have an aversion to ‘try hards’ or ‘pick mes’ those types who always want to be first, at the front of the queue or given a special pat on the head. There is something instinctively British about this modest attitude and it’s one that special interest groups would be wise to remember.

I don’t for one second think it was Muslims ‘showing off’. It was a show of force. It was Islam announcing itself on English soil. To do it in Trafalgar Square was analogous to capturing the Standard in a battle, which is exactly what Islam teaches its followers – that Islam must consume the globe.

While I fully appreciate your argument and sincerely hope that you are right surely the huge difference is that the Moslem lobby, which is far too closely tied in with the militant Islamic lobby, does have significant – and growing – electoral clout, unlike the others cited. Non Moslem politicians are clearly willing – and far too often able – to reward it with special privileges as a reward for – their doubtless transitory and ultimately self-destructive – enjoyment of power. That a clown like Polanski might one day regret begging it follow him to the top of the tower from which they throw him off onto the street below won’t prevent him from doing it.

Both cults are intolerant. How many mentally Transperverts have shot up a Christian school or academy? 10? How many millions have been murdered by the Pedophile-Moon cult in 1400 years? 100 million? 20 million White Christians enslaved and killed by the Koranimals. Transperverts must drool with envy.

Given how stupid the majority of the pop is (see Rona, Globaloneywarming, evolution etc), we now have 10-15 million Moon culters here who openly say they will destroy us. Tards love it. So we are attacked by the Transperverts and mentally ill psychos (family, normalcy) and the Moon cult.

Both groups in the UK simply underscore that we are being destroyed – all planned.

Well, I get your point I suppose but, as much as ‘The British’ may dislike these things, I don’t see any sign of any of the things you mention having disappeared, with the possible exception of the allegedly ‘Happy Fatty’ folk who seem to have embraced Oxempic and Mounjaro with the same enthusiasm that they once embraced cream buns


Nor have I noticed anyone expressing their dislike
 oddly another British trait.

I am quite glad they are making a public fuss of themselves.
Islam is pathologised religious narcissism. It worships itself. It’s objectives are political and social, not spiritual. The essential message of Islam is: bow down, or we cut your head off.

The taking off of one’s shoes. Exactly what is done to prisoners to prevent them escaping. The parallel is astonishing, with the only difference being that these prisoners are taking their own shoes off.

Islam is like the house guest that outstays their welcome, using up more and more of your resources and encroaching on more of your private space, making increased demands, until you’ve nothing left to give. Then they dig their heels in and refuse to leave, because ‘rights’.đŸ€š

Islam is like the man who has a bad reputation but the gullible woman sees him as a project and thinks she can change him, only to end up used, abused and hurt. A victim of her own naivety. Like Islam, such individuals are a lost cause and we can never expect to reform them. Leftards take note.

Islam is like the vampire that everybody knows you should never ever invite over your threshold. For once you do you’ll inevitably regret it and end up royally f***ed.đŸ§›â€â™‚ïž

To be fair, I think being safely chauffeured in by the RNLI, given their own ‘welcome pack’ by NGOs – including a smart phone, clothes, pocket money and smokes – then a key to their own room at the Holiday Inn, free and all-inclusive, might well be construed as an invitation. It sure as hell doesn’t scream: “You’re not welcome. Get out!” Then you never get rid of the buggers because it’s all ‘human rights’ and ‘chicken nuggets’.😬

And they don’t arrive at our borders looking like this, with a handy lanyard declaring they’re a jihadist/rapist/criminal etc and what their intentions are. They look just like everybody else. There is no way to tell them apart. But this is Islam and people like this are already walking amongst us, as well as many of their supporters.
Isn’t history littered with enough evidence yet, demonstrating the results of people’s suicidal empathy? And said evidence keeps being reported on a daily basis. Too late now, of course;

”This is not a horror movie. THIS IS REALITY. Terrorists strapped a suicide bomb to a little boy and sent him to die. Soldiers saved him. Children turned into weapons.”

Readers may wish to ponder this and email Sir Desmond – he sometimes answers: Prayers in Trafalgar Sq

I agree with some of what he says here, not all of it. I think he is having difficulty reconciling his correct instinct that freedom of worship and public assembly is important with the presence of a large number of people of alien religion and culture, the nature of whose religion is partly political. I think they cannot be reconciled.

I did write to him to point out that “If you don’t like acts of public religious observance , the answer is simple: don’t go to one” doesn’t apply well to a gathering that takes up most of one of the busiest places in London – a place people would be visiting or passing through in the course of their normal business of work or leisure.

The photo… If that’s Trafalgar Square, and the pillars are the National Gallery, then they are bowing to the West, and not in the direction of Mecca. Huh?

Of course the nice mosques are also used as terrorist centres for training those engaged in spreading the religion of peace one bomb at a time, as well as voting control centres so the colononists vote for the right people.

“Britain is a tolerant country
” No. To tolerate means to endure, put up with things which we don’t like, don’t want, cause pain, grief, are inconvenient, or there is no option. Nobody does this without good cause, some profit at the end, or expectation of reciprocity. People talk of our religious tolerance but clearly know no history – our islands have been a crucible for sectarian conflict and persecution until finally everybody got exhausted and then nobody cared what the religion of others was – except in Ireland where it has festered to this day, Not caring is not tolerance. Until 30+ years ago nobody “tolerated” other races because few met another race so as a population we didn’t care. Since, we have had other races/cultures imposed on us and we have had no option but to put up with it – that’s not tolerance. Areas where other races/cultures have clustered, have seen “White-flight” so clearly not tolerance! As a culture we had values, morals, manners and would not tolerate those who did not observe these. We didn’t, for example, tolerate women getting pregnant out of wedlock, or shirkers and scrounges – now these are “The Vulnerable” on welfare. And… Read more »

The cause the Khant of London seeks to support is him managing the infighting among a myriad of competing minority groups forever at each others throats. The very point of the Trafalgar Square Hijacking was to annoy people with emotional ties to Great Britain the occupiers neither want nor have.

That’s why it’s important to avoid getting annoyed by this. Just use it against them: Someone who’s truly British would not want to disappear Trafalgar Square because it commemorates a glorious and important event in British history. Having a Muslim prayer meeting there is really no different from using the Royal Artillery Memorial to relieve oneself.

My wife is JW. They’re not ‘in your face’. A simple ‘not interested’ will suffice. They don’t persist beyond that. An unfair comparison.

Yes, a simple point, well made. I’ve found myself – more than once – making the same point to my rather woke daughter, who is often unhappy about by my old-fashioned reactions to modern sexual mores. “Why should guys kissing bother you so much??!!”, she asks me, with evident exasperation. I explain to her that yes, men kissing each other does indeed freak me out a bit (but that women doing the same tends to as well – though I’ll admit not quite so much – not sure why), but that straight people kissing in public often has the same effect! It’s not the fact of it – it’s the manner of it. Because I’m British! (although, I think, plenty of other nations around the world feel exactly the same way…) I remind her, too, of my half-dozen closest personal friends – cherished since university days in the early 80s – of whom 3 – 50% – happen to be homosexual; does that bother me? – of course not (my daughter concedes); why? because those friends, like my boring heterosexual friends, don’t ‘make a fuss’ of such things. ‘Non-standard’ sexual/religious/gastronomic practices have always existed in this country; it’s not that… Read more »

Another thing that boils my bladder is the absence of traffic wardens when the Muslim ‘community’ descend upon the mosque. Choked roads, double parking, parking on pavements and double yellows, yet not a copper of traffic warden in site.
At every other time staying for 5 minutes over the allotted time will get you a ticket. Talk about two their policing!

Didn’t Kemi mention she and her party would ban the burka? Will she be banning Hasidic Jewish garb? Priests dog collars, nun’s habits? Perhaps banning groups from gathering on public property or retail space to “pray” in large groups might be something to consider.
