In 1945, somewhere between late February and mid-March, Anne Frank died of Typhus in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. We know the history of Anne through her diary, because of her writings we know of the existence of the hidden annex and the brave helpers that kept her and her family out of the clutches of the Nazis for an astonishing amount of time. Anne’s was just one name among millions who perished at the hands of those who followed an ideology that placed Jew-hatred above everything else.

However, 71 years on from Anne Frank’s death, I find myself seething with anger at what I see around me. The words ‘Never Again’ uttered after the Shoah, are being proved daily to be almost meaningless.

71 years after the vanquishing of the Nazi regime, in large part by British and American forces, I look around and despair. I find I live in a country, Britain, which has twisted itself so much to accommodate the mentalist Jew-hatred promulgated by Islam, that my Jewish son would not be able to walk along the road outside the hospital where I was born in East London, without the danger of getting his head kicked in by Muslim thugs. The area in question has been so thoroughly colonised by the death cult of Islam, so that now it would be unsafe for my child to make journeys on foot or on public transport which I did routinely in the area, and without much fear, as a teenager. This area is now so bad that on the occasions I have to visit the area for personal reasons, I return scared, and livid with anger and sometimes have been known to sink a quarter bottle of Scotch to calm my nerves on my return.

You bet I’m angry about that. Why should the rights of my son or anybody else, no matter what their religious belief, be infringed merely to placate Muslims, or for elected officials to gain political advantage by pandering to them, at great cost to everyone else?

Here’s another thing that makes me angry. If you ever have the opportunity to visit a Jewish school, one of the first things you will notice is the security. Security guards, sometimes of ex-military background and sloping bomb-deflecting fences around the school are not uncommon. Jewish schools have to deploy all sorts of security measures that you do not see on any other type of school. You don’t see this extreme level of security on Sikh, Church of England, Catholic or Hindu schools. Shouldn’t that tell us all something? Shouldn’t that give us all food for discussion? However, what is not discussed enough are the reasons for such security concerns. Some say, dishonestly to my mind, that the security is to protect against the ‘far right’. However the main threat to British Jews, and eventually a threat to all Britons whatever their faith, is Islam. Yes, the violent anti-Semitic far right should not be ignored, but it does nobody any favours to ignore the Islamic far right. The Islamic far right is much more numerous and much more of a violent threat than the traditional ‘Mosleyite’ extreme right could ever be in the modern world. Oswald Mosley’s political children are mere bedroom dwelling jackboot lickers who pose nothing like the threat caused by Islam. We all, whether Jew or non-Jew, need to wake up and smell the coffee as regards Islam.

We are also seeing Jews from France moving to London to get away from the constant threat of shootings, bombings, stabbings and attacks on property by French Muslims. Such people are being helped by the British Jewish community to resettle here and some synagogues are now offering religious services in French as well as English and Hebrew to these genuine refugees from Islamic oppression. Sadly these people will only find a temporary respite from oppression here, as Islam grows in the UK so will the threat to non-Muslims and especially to Jews. This exodus of French Jews out of France to places like the UK, Canada, the USA and Israel tells us just how bad things are getting in France. The canaries in the French coal mine are leaving and I really don’t blame them for doing so.

The right of individuals to hold and express their personal religious beliefs have been hard won by generations of Britons, and has a historical basis that goes right back to Queen Elizabeth the First’s declaration that she wished not for windows into men’s souls. Religious freedom is a good thing. It encourages discussion and encourages intellectual and spiritual growth, both within religious groups and within the wider society itself. Sadly such religious freedom is anathema to Islam.

However religious freedom is nothing unless society recognises that not all religions are equal. Some religions, and here I speak of Islam, see themselves as superior to others, and they are not content to pray to their individual god for a wider acceptance of their world view, as do other religious groups, but violently impose their view on others. This imposition of Islamic mores on non-Muslims is a major difference between the legal systems of Islamic Shariah and Jewish Halacha.

There is no desire on the part of Jews to force non-Jews to not work between Friday night and Saturday night or fast on Yom Kippur or follow the dietary laws of Kashrut. However, the ideology of Islam is predicated on forcing others to live according to Shariah, and Muslim individuals and Islamic groups do this forcing by hook or by crook. There are a large number of Muslims in the UK who feel dismissive of what they call ‘man-made law’ and this prioritising of Shariah has contributed to a rise in incidents of Islamic crime, Islamic Jew hatred, Islamic hatred of Christians, the targeting by Islamic Rape Gangs of non-Muslim girls, along with the corruption of the electoral system, local authorities and our civil service.

In Britain a culture of ‘reasonable accommodation’ to religious beliefs has grown up over many centuries. Certain laws were amended to allow for particular aspects of religious expression and up until the rise of Islam, these reasonable accommodations worked. Sikhs, for example, are exempted from motorcycle helmet law, partly because it’s a reasonable accommodation that only affects an individual. Also, a Sikh Turban probably gives the same amount of protection during a low speed crash as a 1970’s crash helmet, which is when the helmet exemption came in.

In a similar spirit of reasonable accommodation, Kosher slaughter has been permitted, provided that the meat was intended purely for the consumption, as the law of the time put it, ‘by Jews and Jewesses’. It was never intended nor was it the outcome, that large amounts of Kosher meat found its way into the general food chain. There was a general recognition that there should be choice in foodstuffs and their origin. Choice for non-Jews and choice for Jews.

Compare this situation to that of Islam and halal food and drink. Islamic organisations have used this ‘reasonable accommodation’ to impose Shariah-approved food on everyone, by doing so they have removed a vital element of choice from the consumer. Islamic groups have surreptitiously imposed ‘halalification’ on almost everything, ranging from items as diverse as meat to baby formula milk.

Islam and its followers have mercilessly exploited the doctrine of reasonable accommodation and, to be quite frank, have seriously taken the piss out of it. The followers of Islam and their quislings in Government, administration and the media have forced Britons of all religions and none to comply with Islamic norms and in many cases forced people to tolerate the intolerable. We have been forced to tolerate the halalification of our food industry, forced to tolerate women being encased in mobile canvas prisons and also Muslim women being treated as the property of men. We have been forced by Muslims and their Quislings to have prayer rooms (which end up as de facto mosques a lot of the time) in public and private buildings. We’ve been forced to tolerate the violent hate-speech from Islamic preachers and been coerced into amending our behaviour, such as eating in public, by violent Muslims who are enforcing the fast of Ramadan. Worst of all, we’ve also been forced to confront and expected to tolerate predatory Islamic sexuality, even when such behaviour involves the mass rape of our children.

Islam has taken the piss, big time. Islam certainly takes the piss out of legal provisions designed for less aggressive or more integrated religious groups. Muslims have exploited the provisions of the Arbitration Act of 1996 which permits religious courts to deal with matters pertaining to their particular religion, provided that the parties voluntarily agree to take part. Despite the Arbitration Act specifically stating that religious courts are not to be a parallel legal system and are not to rule on certain matters, Shariah Courts have ignored that rule. Britain now has over 80 Islamic Shariah courts that do indeed act in a manner that a reasonable person could see as being above the law and denigrate the national law in favour of Shariah.

This has been to the grave disadvantage of Muslim women, who, more often than not, are treated like dirt by these Shariah Courts. Jewish Beth Din (religious courts) on the other hand, have not behaved anywhere near as badly as Shariah courts have done. Jewish Beth Din merely rule on matters such as conversion, Jewish status questions, the oversight of Kashrut, religious marriage and divorce. Jewish Halacha doesn’t intrude on the lives of non-Jews, whereas Shariah intrudes mercilessly. The right of a Jew to impose, for example, the Laws of Kashrut on people, normally stops at the front door of their house, or their shop or restaurant, and they certainly do not extend to everyone no matter what their religious belief.

I’ve gone off on a bit of a tangent here, my key points are these. Islam has been the worm in the bud of multiculturalism and we are all more unsafe because of that. Islam has not conformed to the norms that believers in other religions conform to, when in the UK. The followers of Islam are showing by the way they live their own lives, that they are not here to integrate but to dominate whether by violence or by subterfuge or by lawfare. This should not be acceptable. It is an attack on religious freedom and an attack on the rights of the non-religious to be free as well.

I’m damned angry about the negative effect that the ideology of Islam is having on my country, my friends and most of all, the effect it is having on my family. Why shouldn’t my son one day walk down the road where his father was born? He should be able to do so, it should be his right, and it is utterly disgusting that he will not be able to do it in safety. It’s incomprehensible to me that we as a nation should have allowed this Islamic cancer to grow in the manner that it has and have such dire influence on the way that British people live their lives.

71 years after the death of Anne Frank, I find myself contemplating the idea of creating a similar secure space, if need be, to protect my wife and my son, should the need arise, and I’m shocked and angry that I feel I need to do so. That I have to think this way, when the Shoah is still within living memory, is a disgusting indictment of the failure of multiculturalism, a failure of politics and a failure of us all to make judgements between right and wrong. We all failed to see Islam as a great wrong and failed to see it for the threat that it is, not just to Jews, but to Christians, Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists and to those who consider themselves avowedly secular. Islam is wrong and we need to be able to say so. If we do not speak up now, then it will not only be Jews who feel fear walking through places like Whitechapel or Forest Gate or Bow or Walthamstow, it will be everyone who is non-Muslim who will have that fear.

Islam is an enemy of freedom and we need to be less afraid of saying so. The price of silence will be our own deaths and the deaths of our children. Islam is not just ‘not good for the Jews’ it’s not good for anyone. As a Jew I am enjoined to ‘pray for the peace of the city in which you find yourself living’, and to recognise that ‘The Law of the Monarch is the law for all’. Unfortunately as far as I can see, Islam has not brought peace to the city of my birth, and rarely if ever, brings any sort of just peace to anywhere it sets up shop. Those who promote or excuse Islam on the grounds of ‘community cohesion’ are failing to recognise the concept of the ‘Law of the Land is the Law’ and are failing to keep the peace of the city. Therefore those who place ‘community cohesion’ over and above everything else, are the enemies of peace and the enemies of justice.

I want my child to grow up in peace and security, but that peace and security cannot be achieved as long as Islam continues to get the sort of ‘free pass’ that it has had for far too long. I pray that one day my child will be able to walk along the East London street I was born on in safety and without fear, but first we all need to deal with the ideology that is causing that fear. We need to see Islam as ‘different’ in a bad way, just as we saw Nazism as ‘different’ and similarly Stalinism as different and deal with it accordingly.

There can be no peace when the ‘religion of peace’ is present, that’s the bottom line and we all need to accept that.
