Britain waves the white flag to Islamization and illegal immigration
With almost every day that passes, Britain is progressively embracing its own destruction by groveling to its mortal foes and dumping big-time on its most loyal friends. Prime Minister Keir Starmer's Labour government is increasingly surrendering to Islamization while presiding over a poisonous culture of antisemitism that's roaring out of control. For the past decade, more than 170,000 illegal immigrants have crossed the English Channel from France in small inflatable boats. Successive governments have failed to deal with this people-smuggling trade, which has provoked fury among the British public aghast at the unsustainable levels of immigration, both legal and illegal. Brits are also horrified by the impact of large numbers of Muslim migrants who refuse to integrate into British society. 4 Abu Wadei, a pro-Hamas Gazan, captured his arrival in Britain via the English Channel in a Facebook post. While most UK Muslims sign up to Western values, a very large minority do not. Of the 43,000 active terrorists on the books of security service MI5, some 90% are Muslim — a community that's a mere 6% of the population. And now the illegal immigrant trade poses an acute danger to British security. With MI5 issuing urgent warnings of an imminent threat of Iranian terrorism within Britain, there are indications the all-too-obvious risk of terrorists coming in across the Channel is real. In May, three Iranian men who arrived in Britain on small boats and a truck to claim asylum were charged with spying for Tehran. 4 Farhad Javadi Manesh, 44, Shapoor Qalehali Khani Noori, 55, and Mostafa Sepahvand, 39, appear in May at Westminster Magistrates' Court after their arrests on spying charges. Julia Quenzler / SWNS In March, an Arab from Gaza who arrived in southern England on a small boat and posted on social-media support for Hamas and calls for the death of Jews was arrested and jailed after pleading guilty to attempting to enter Britain illegally. The UK TV station GB News revealed this month that cross-Channel smuggling gangs are marketing themselves with ISIS recruitment videos and execution footage on social media. Ayaan Hirsi Ali's Courage Media reported a 'credible' intelligence source warns people-smuggling gangs are facilitating trained Islamic militants' passage across the Channel and have trafficked arms across Europe and into Britain. Intercepted 2015 telephone calls and letter correspondence between ISIS members divulged their ambition to use migrants in boats crossing the Mediterranean as a 'psychological weapon' against Europe. Britain already has an estimated 1.2 million illegal migrants, with one in every 13 people in London thought to be there illegally. Despite all this, Starmer's attempts to deal with the small-boats crisis have been feeble in the extreme. He just agreed a 'one migrant in, one migrant out' deal with French President Emmanuel Macron. This deal will reportedly be limited to just 50 illegal migrants a week, or 1.5% of all those who've arrived in Britain since the crisis began. On the very day the deal was agreed, some 573 illegal migrants landed on British shores in small boats from France. The Starmer-Macron agreement provoked ridicule and fury in equal measure among the British public as a hopelessly inadequate response to a national-security emergency. 4 Inflatable dinghies and outboard motors illegal migrants used to cross the English Channel from France are displayed in Dover.

Britain commemorated the 20th anniversary of the 7/7 human-bomb attacks on the London Underground and a bus in which 52 people were murdered with wreaths laid and solemn speeches made. Yet no one — not the prime minister nor the king nor London Mayor Sadiq Khan — mentioned these were Islamist atrocities. Ludicrously, Starmer hailed 'the unity of Londoners in the face of terror,' saying 'those who tried to divide us failed.' But the bombers didn't try to divide Londoners. They tried to murder as many as possible and in the name of Islam. Starmer tries to pretend there are no divisions between Muslims and the rest of the public by shutting down all criticism of the Muslim world. Accordingly his government is busily working out ways to give the pseudo-offense of 'Islamophobia' real teeth. While seeking to stifle any mention of Islamist terror, the government is trying to criminalize those seeking to defend the British way of life. Thus an online training course hosted on the government's website for the anti-extremism body Prevent lists concern about mass migration as 'cultural nationalism' that could lead to an individual being referred to the deradicalization scheme for subscribing to a 'terrorist ideology.' Starmer has been much criticized for his reluctance to set up a national inquiry into the pimping gangs, composed overwhelmingly of Pakistani-heritage Muslims, that have kidnapped, raped, prostituted and otherwise abused thousands of very young white girls over the past two decades. Yet astoundingly, Muhbeen Hussain, who led a Muslim-community boycott of South Yorkshire police over its admission it had failed to act on rape-gang allegations 'because of fears of being called racist' — which he said attempted to 'scapegoat' Muslims — has been awarded the MBE, a prestigious national honor, for 'services to integration' and 'cohesion.' 4 London Mayor Sadiq Khan and Prime Minister Keir Starmer commemorate the 7/7 terror attacks. Getty Images Compare all this with the treatment meted out to Britain's inoffensive, law-abiding Jewish community, which is experiencing epidemic antisemitism that's off the scale. Lord Mann and Dame Penny Mordaunt, respectively a Labour and a Conservative politician, this month expressed deep shock in their government-backed report that antisemitism has become 'normalised' in middle-class Britain. The report, commissioned by the Board of Deputies of British Jews, the country's largest Jewish-community organization, found antisemitism to be pervasive in the health service, universities and the arts. Mann and Mordaunt said what really scared them is 'the increasing normalisation of far more extreme, personalised and sometimes life-changing impact directed at individuals purely and simply because they are Jewish.' Ever since the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas-led atrocities against Israelis, British Jews have run a gauntlet of hatred, intimidation and attacks, both verbal and physical, as the direct result of incitement based on a systematic campaign of demonization and eye-watering falsehoods about Israel's behavior in Gaza. Through distortion, decontextualization and outright lies, Britain's media — led by the BBC and Sky — have channeled Hamas propaganda day in, day out. They have wickedly misrepresented Israel's just and agonizing war to defend itself against extermination and its attempts to safeguard as far as possible the lives of Gazan civilians being used as human shields and cannon fodder as genocide and war crimes. With Israelis being painted as diabolical child-killers, British Jews find themselves being personally accused of 'killing babies' and restaurants and pubs refusing to serve 'Zionists.' No other group is spoken of in such a vile manner. No other people is subjected to such profound and obsessional injustice. No other nation is told it has no right to its own country and its national-liberation movement is a source of evil. Yet instead of defending the country's Jews against this pre-pogrom incitement, the Starmer government has poured petrol on the flames by parroting the same Hamas lies about Israelis killing 'too many' civilians or depriving Gazans of food — this while Israel and America are providing millions of meals to Gazans for the first time receiving food aid that's not being stolen from them by Hamas. Starmer's behavior displays the dire effects of the alliance that's been forged between Western liberals and Islamist radicals. It's laying waste to America's Democratic Party and found its most alarming expression in Zohran Mamdani, the Islamist poised to become New York mayor. He too channels Hamas lies about Israel; he too will make his city's Jewish community more unsafe; he too will undermine America's security. Americans should gaze upon Britain and be warned.

AfD's Alice Weidel blasts Friedrich Merz over migrant issue: 'Islamisation progressing rapidly...'
In a general debate in the German Bundestag, the leader of the right-wing populist party AfD, Alice Weidel, sharply attacked Chancellor Friedrich Merz. In her speech, she also attacked the government on migration policy and spoke of "migration policy showcase exercises". She said that the border controls initiated were inadequate and the restrictions on family reunification were "homoeopathic". Weidel painted a bleak picture of the country and mentioned knife attacks, sexual offences, assaults in outdoor swimming pools and poor conditions in schools. "Islamization is progressing rapidly and aggressively," Weidel continued. Show more Show less

Europe's Populist Parties Keep Gaining Ground
Across the European continent, despite gaining considerable proportions of the vote, populist parties are increasingly being frozen out of governing in coalitions by political opponents who regard them as extremist. Proponents of the tactic known as a 'cordon sanitaire' or 'firewall' say it's not an attack on democracy but a defense of it. But one war expert said the tactic will only arouse anger in voters and that 'there is no potential for peaceful political change.' Coalitions are part and parcel of political life in many European countries. But the cordon sanitaire, a measure normally directed at keeping out fringe outliers, is now being used to keep out parties that are gaining majority-level support. Such parties include the Alternative for Germany, France's National Rally, Austria's Freedom Party, Spain's Vox, and the Netherlands' Party for Freedom. They all deny being 'far-right' as they are often dubbed by media, opponents, or academics, but their political opponents regard them as beyond the pale and have formed coalitions on the promise of shutting them out of governance. The AfD, an anti-mass immigration party, which came second in Germany's national parliamentary elections, earning nearly 21 percent of the vote, was recently denied allotted committee chairmanships and vice-chairmanships. The party is locked in a legal battle with the state to avoid being branded an 'extremist' right-wing movement by Germany's domestic intelligence agency. AfD's policies include strong support for traditional marriage between a man and woman and the nuclear family, the preservation of national independence in the face of the European Union's increasing power, the preservation of German culture amid 'European integration' and Islamization, and border security, including the expulsion of illegal immigrants. But this doesn't seem to have dented the party's popularity in the polls. According to a recent INSA survey, the AfD is at 24.5 percent, hot on the heels of the CDU at 26 percent. A similar pattern is being seen in other countries. Early in June, the Dutch government collapsed after Party for Freedom (PVV) leader Geert Wilders said his party would pull out of the governing coalition. Wilders asked coalition partners to sign up to a plan to cut illegal immigration, which included using the army to protect Dutch borders, rejecting all illegal immigrants, sending Syrian refugees back to their country, and closing asylum shelters. At the time, he said that if the country's immigration policy was not strengthened, the PVV would be 'out of the Cabinet.' He followed through on the threat. In Austria, conservatives, Social Democrats, and liberals formed a coalition in March to block the anti-immigration and euro-skeptic Freedom Party from taking power, even after it won an electoral victory with 29 percent of the vote last September. The party was founded in 1956 by Anton Reinthaller, a former SS officer and member of the Reichstag. Last year, French President Emmanuel Macron called a surprise snap election on June 9, following his centrist Renaissance party's poor performance in European Parliament elections when the populist and nationalist party National Rally (RN) performed very strongly. But RN has increased its voter share ahead of the French presidential elections, which are scheduled to be held in or around April 2027, and is currently polling at 35 percent. In 2023, Socialist Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez called a snap national election after his party was beaten in local government polls by the conservative People's Party (PP) and the nationalist Vox. Sanchez managed to retain power but only after months of wrangling with regional parties and a controversial power deal with Catalan separatists. Vox, founded in 2013, is now the third-largest force in the Spanish Parliament. Explaining the AfD situation in Germany, Richard Schenk, research fellow at MCC Brussels, told The Epoch Times that freezing out the AfD will have 'certain consequences.' 'AfD can now just exactly claim: 'We were excluded from the decisions that led to this chaos. You excluded us. We wanted to participate, to put forward proposals, to take responsibility, but you excluded us. So we really do not have to do anything with the mess that's currently going on,'' said Schenk.

Myth, military and militancy: Why Pakistan is incorrigible
Ceasefire, but no real peace Though on May 10, India and Pakistan reached a consensus for a 'full and immediate ceasefire' after four days of intense military engagements, the hostilities are not going to end in the near future. Pakistan cannot and should not be trusted. Pakistan sought non-conventional ways to challenge India's dominance—especially in Kashmir after losing wars to India in 1947, 1965, and 1971. Supporting insurgency and militant groups became a 'low-cost, high-impact' strategy to internationalise the Kashmir issue. Pakistan's involvement in supporting and enabling terrorism—particularly in the context of its regional policies—can be traced to a mix of historical, strategic, and ideological reasons. The ideological dilemma This foundation of Pakistan itself creates inherent contradictions. The very creation of Pakistan was driven by a religious identity. While the so-called 'Two Nation Theory' provided the ideological justification, the actual process was shaped by political negotiations, regional dynamics, and the realities of colonial rule. The result was a new nation-state, unique for being founded primarily on the basis of religion rather than ethnicity or language. The rise of Islam in the early 1950s was largely due to the efforts of political activists and religious scholars who had migrated to Pakistan. The notion of present Pakistan as an ideological state is often linked to the era of General Mohammed Zia -ul- Haq. However, its origins are much older and both Liaquat Ali Khan and Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, for political reasons, created the groundwork for the subsequent institutionalization of Islamization under the General Zia regime. Distorted history, strategic blindness Since the 1980s, the early history of Pakistan has been largely omitted from the educational curriculum, with the national historical narrative predominantly centred on the arrival of Muhammad bin Qasim in Sindh in 711 CE. This focus led to the exclusion of significant historical elements such as the Indus Valley civilization and later sites like Taxila, Hakra-Gagger, and Kot Diji from the curriculum. The intertwining of Pakistan's history with that of Muslim rule in India has further strengthened the narrative. This historical context is believed to have played a role in the formulation of geo-political strategy of Pakistan. The military's iron grip Pakistan has been under direct military rule for nearly half of its existence and even during civilian rule, the military retained de facto power over defence, foreign policy, and internal security. The chief of the Pakistani Army possesses an unmatched level of power and influence, rendering the position one of the most formidable in the world. Having exerted influence over Pakistan both overtly and covertly, army often manipulates events from the shadows. It removes elected administrations, creates pressure groups, and instigates divisions within political parties. Through organizations like Fauji Foundation, Army Welfare Trust, and Defence Housing Authorities, the military controls vast economic assets in agriculture, real estate, and industry and this economic entrenchment provides both incentive and ability to shape politics. It provides financial support to opposition parties to destabilize elected governments, thereby preserving its grip on political authority. No surprise, the politicians seek to align themselves with the armed forces to share power. For this the term 'hybrid regime' has been introduced to describe the ongoing military influence over civilian governments. Terror as statecraft During General Zia's rule the military began to view its role as not only protecting Pakistan's territorial integrity but also upholding the state-endorsed ideology. Numerous mosque schools that proliferated during this period were characterized by a strong sectarian focus and a commitment to a transnational jihadist perspective. These advancements were significantly facilitated by the United States' requirement for Pakistan's assistance in the fight against the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. Most significantly, Zia's enduring influence fostered an environment conducive to the social acceptance of terrorism as a state policy. Subsequent leaders, whether civilian or military, followed the same policies. Political dynasties, such as the Bhuttos and Sharifs, dominate politics, often prioritizing personal power over national development. No end in sight So, over the years Pakistan has been harbouring and supporting terrorist groups, particularly those targeting India, Iran and Afghanistan. Pakistan's internal reliance on Islamist narratives and its long-standing military policy toward 'bleeding India by a thousand cuts' means it cannot easily abandon support for terrorism against India. In close coordination with the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) and Pakistani army groups like Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), and the Haqqani Network have been operating from Pakistani soil. Recently Pakistan's Defence Minister Khawaja Asif himself admitted on Sky News to Pakistan's history of 'supporting, training, and funding terrorist organizations.' The Army remains the true centre of power. The primary and essential prerequisite of peace in the region demands a thorough reform of the Army framework in Pakistan with a transition towards a governance system that is more civilian-oriented. Unfortunately, it's not happening in the near future. Peace on the Western Front will remain elusive. Facebook Twitter Linkedin Email Disclaimer Views expressed above are the author's own.
