There are a variety of Islamic spokespeople out there ranging from the wolves in sheep’s clothing types such as Massoud Shadjareh of the ‘Islamic Human Rights Commission’ one who the BBC seem fond of taking at face value, even though he swims in the Khomenist sewer. We also have the dishonest hand wringers and Islamophobia merchants such as the Tell Mama organisation and its founder Fiyaz Mughal. These characters are often to be found whining about ‘Islamophobia’ and bleating about how terrible it is that Muslims and Islam are hated.
More often than not what the likes of Mughal and Shadjareh say is dishonest whining bollocks, but they are right on one thing and one thing only and that is that Islam is becoming thoroughly hated and despised by many non-Muslim Britons. No amount of placard waving tea and cake proffering Jo Cox fans can paper over the cracks that are developing too far to be easily hidden. The term ‘religion of peace’ has become quite rightly derided as dishonest claptrap.
Islam is indeed hated and it’s hated for a lot of damned good reasons. There’s the violence, intimidation and corruption that the followers of this ideology have brought to numerous towns and cities in the UK. There’s the significant involvement of Muslims in the hard drugs trade or the obscene sex trafficking of children and young women. There’s also the burden of too many Muslims being economically inactive and not seeing being economically inactive as any sort of problem. The terrorism and sedition that many Muslims are either actively involved in or which they support are also not helping them be liked. There’s the constant bleating and demands for special privileges by and for Muslims and their willingness to play the victim card no matter how dishonestly in order to gain access to housing, welfare or other services.
Yes the ideology of Islam and by extension the followers of that ideology, have become hated and despised but that’s not the fault of ‘racist’ Britons, or an out of nowhere ‘massive rise in Islamophobia’, but by the actions of Muslims and Islamic groups themselves. The poncing, terror, mass rapes, dishonesty, pleading for more than they deserve, the overblown sense of entitlement, political corruption, supremacism and so much more from the followers of Islam has gone a long way to stoking up hatred towards Islam.
As a member of a religious minority myself, I know that one of the best and most sure ways to not be hated is to not piss off one’s hosts in the majority population. Demanding this, that or the other or engaging in horrific crimes or becoming involved in terror plots against the British people and nation is almost guaranteed to piss people off and get you hated. The offence in this instance is compounded when ‘community leaders’ issue flat denials that the ideology shared by both terrorist and non terrorist Muslim alike is in any way part of the problem. Failing to deal with communal criminality is also likely to make people dislike you as well. Turning a blind eye to the mass rape of children and young women is also liable to make your group hated.
Therefore I thought that it is both right and proper that I, from my own position offer some advice to Britain’s Muslims, advice that might reduce the amount by which they and their ideology are hated.
Contributing to the society is a good idea, working hard, paying taxes and working for the benefit of not just your own group but the wider society earns respect not condemnation.
Integrating with the host society in the very best way that you can really does help. Not going into a screaming fit because the food at a public event is not Halal, which wins no friends whereas politely asking where the vegetarian grub is doesn’t raise an eyebrow.
Not committing crime or tolerating crime because it is committed by members of one’s own group also wins friends and influences people.
Not raping your neighbours’ children or explaining away this child rape, is another thing that goes a long way to getting people to not hate you.
Reporting to the authorities when one of your number goes mad and starts talking about ‘killing kufar’ wins societal brownie points.
Don’t lie to those outside your faith or cultural group about the nature of your belief system, in other words ‘no taqiyya’.
Respecting education, respecting the law, respecting the culture and respecting the nation’s history will win friends and not create enmity towards you.
Don’t call for your fellow Britons to be murdered or make blood curdling speeches about hating gays, Christians and Jews.
Be a positive source for good and a proper example for others, in other words be a mensch, a decent fellow.
Do all that and Muslims may find that many of the self-inflicted problems they have with being hated, and they are self-inflicted problems, may start to fall away. Carry on as they are at present and I can almost guarantee that the hatred that many Britons from a multitude of different backgrounds feel towards you, will continue to grow.
If Muslims feel that they and Islam are hated, then it’s up to them to realise that this hatred is completely and 100% justified and it is also up to them to turn things around, sort out the problems with their dodgy ideology and start to try to make things better.
