A tale ripped from Page 60 of the Book of Captain Obvious.
From a UK man who, in his Leftist ways, first coined the term “Islamohobia.”
But after watching reality for a few decades, he thinks he got it all wrong.
First, as an introduction from the UKTimes.com:
What do British Muslims really think?
by Trevor Phillips
Should homosexuality be illegal? Should wives always obey their husbands? And can a man have more than one wife? The most comprehensive survey of British Muslims ever conducted reveals controversial attitudes. Trevor Phillips argues that the time has come for a more muscular approach to integration
As a doctrine of religious belief, Islam has never held any terrors for me. I was born in London but grew up in a developing country, now called Guyana, where one in 10 people worshipped Allah — roughly twice the proportion in Britain today. To me, the Muslims were just boys with names like Mohammed and Ishmael; in most things that mattered — could they play cricket or do calculus, for example — they seemed no different from the rest of us.
Liberal opinion in Britain has, for more than two decades, maintained that most Muslims are just like everyone
But are they? Phillips seems to have changed his mind. Odd, in light of the fact that he is credited with universalizing the word “Islamophobia,”
From Breitbart.com:
UK Equalities Chief Who Popularised The Term ‘Islamophobia’ Admits: ‘I Thought Muslims Would Blend into Britain… I Should Have Known Better’
by Raheem Kassam
The former head of Britain’s Equalities and Human Rights Commission (EHRC), Trevor Phillips, has admitted he “got almost everything wrong” on Muslim immigration in a damning new report on integration, segregation, and how the followers of Islam are creating “nations within nations” in the West.
Now, if only we could get Barack Hussein Obama to actually read the news.
Phillips, a former elected member of the Labour Party who served as the Chairman of the EHRC from 2003-2012 will present “What British Muslims Really Think” on Channel 4 on Wednesday.
But wait; it gets better yet. What do Muslims really think?
An ICM poll released to the Times ahead of the broadcast reveals:
- One in five Muslims in Britain never enter a non-Muslim house;
- 39 per cent of Muslims, male and female, say a woman should always obey her husband;
- 31 per cent of British Muslims support the right of a man to have more than one wife;
- 52 per cent of Muslims did not believe that homosexuality should be legal;
- 23 per cent of Muslims support the introduction of Sharia law rather than the laws laid down by parliament.
“Liberal opinion in Britain has, for more than two decades, maintained that most Muslims are just like everyone else.’
But thanks to the most detailed and comprehensive survey of British Muslim opinion yet conducted, we now know that just isn’t how it is.”
You mean the clouds are actually starting to part?
Phillips says his new data shows “a chasm” opening between Muslims and non-Muslims on fundamental issues such as marriage, relations between men and women, schooling, freedom of expression and even the validity of violence in defence of religion.
“It’s not as though we couldn’t have seen this coming. But we’ve repeatedly failed to spot the warning signs,” he admits.
Listen to this:
“For a long time, I too thought that Europe’s Muslims would become like previous waves of migrants, gradually abandoning their ancestral ways, wearing their religious and cultural baggage lightly, and gradually blending into Britain’s diverse identity landscape. I should have known better.”
“I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER.”
And Mr. Phillips even acknowledges that the mass sexual grooming and rape scandals that are plaguing heavily Muslim populated towns across Britain are because of Muslim – not ‘Asian’ – men.
Phillips comments: “Some of my journalist friends imagine that, with time, the Muslims will grow out of it. They won’t.”
The clouds are parting: it’s GOWPs.
And indeed he lays the blame at the feet of the liberal, metropolitan elite, media classes: “Oddly, the biggest obstacles we now face in addressing the growth of this nation-within-a-nation are not created by British Muslims themselves. Many of our (distinctly un-diverse) elite political and media classes simply refuse to acknowledge the truth. Any undesirable behaviours are attributed to poverty and alienation. Backing for violent extremism must be the fault of the Americans. Oppression of women is a cultural trait that will fade with time, nothing to do with the true face of Islam.”
Really? You apparently can’t learn from history and evidence in front of your eyes.
But: what will work?
In terms of solutions, Mr. Phillips opines on “halting the growth of sharia courts and placing them under regulation” ensuring that school governance never falls into the hands of a single-minority group, “ensuring mosques that receive a steady flow of funds from foreign governments such as Saudi Arabia, however disguised, are forced to reduce their dependency on Wahhabi patronage” and an end to the “silence-for-votes understanding between local politicians and Muslim leaders — the sort of Pontius Pilate deal that had such catastrophic outcomes in Rotherham and Rochdale”.
That’s the UK.
What about the US? What do Muslims in the US think? A Center For Security Policy poll taken in 2015 reveals that:
According to the just-released survey of Muslims, a majority (51%) agreed that “Muslims in America should have the choice of being governed according to shariah.” When that question was put to the broader U.S. population, the overwhelming majority held that shariah should not displace the U.S. Constitution (86% to 2%).
More than half (51%) of U.S. Muslims polled also believe either that they should have the choice of American or shariah courts, or that they should have their own tribunals to apply shariah. Only 39% of those polled said that Muslims in the U.S. should be subject to American courts.
Even more troubling, is the fact that nearly a quarter of the Muslims polled believed that, “It is legitimate to use violence to punish those who give offense to Islam by, for example, portraying the prophet Mohammed.”
The push is already here. You simply have to aware of your surroundings.
Thank God that Barack Hussein Obama wants to purposely import a greater number of Syrians and refugees into this country, at a greater rate, with less backgrounding.
What a revelation that a few Leftists are finally starting to come around to the realization that Islam as practiced — not as people want, but as it exists — is much more than just a religion, but an entire culture bereft of anything but the promotion of itself, infiltrated with violence, misogyny, barbarism. It is a true Death Cult created by the pederast Mohammad.
Pork be upon him.

Norway is about to make a massive mistake.
Apparently you guys don’t read your own press, or the press in Germany and Sweden and the rest of Europe. Let’s look at Europe. Let’s look at the location of Germany — which Angela Merkel has already doomed — in relation to Norway.
Examine Norway in relation to the rest of Europe and the other countries where Muslim “refugees” — mostly war-age young males — are flooding. The Baltic and North Seas may not quite be the total insulatory factor you’re hoping for.
Particularly considering the massive issues Germany is having with young Muslim males, as well as Sweden and — tada! —
