Donald Trump retweets videos of Muslims being violent, Labour MPs call for him to be banned from UK events
UPDATE: Dutch media is now claiming that the video purporting to show Muslim migrants bullying is a Dutch boy actually doesn’t depict any Muslim migrants. Lost in the controversy is the fact that Muslim migrants have been responsible for a crime wave across Europe.
——
The three tweets that President Trump retweeted show a Muslim migrant gang beating up a disabled Dutch boy, a Muslim smashing a statue of the Virgin Mary, and a Muslim mob pushing a boy off a roof. Sky News calls them “anti-Muslim videos,” yet if Muslims really reject jihad terror and Sharia oppression, they shouldn’t have any problem with them, as they should abhor this behavior as much as the President does. This reflexive label from Sky News shows that they know that far more Muslims than they’re willing to admit openly actually condone this kind of behavior. Metro calls the videos “Britain First propaganda,” and Sky implies that as well in writing: “The group’s deputy leader Jayda Fransen, who posted the unverified clips, claims one of them shows a Muslim destroying a statue of the Virgin Mary.”
In reality, Britain First did not originate these videos. They’ve all been circulating for a long time. The rush on the part of the British intelligentsia to condemn Trump and Britain First, rather than to address the atrocities in the videos, is all of a piece with the general Western unwillingness to address jihad terror and Sharia oppression, and instead to consign all concern for it to the realms of “Islamophobia.” This is the phenomenon I discuss in my new book Confessions of an Islamophobe — get your copy here now.
