The Liberalist Sargon of Akkad has put out a brilliant video on the current events surrounding the Britain First organisation. In it he makes the point that before they were banned from Facebook ( a ban that appears to have been instigated by the Islamic grievance mongers Tell Mama) they had approximately 2 million online likes. This is, as Sargon says, more likes than either the Conservative or Labour parties combined.
Now Sargon, like myself, is not a supporter or member of Britain First, they are not the right political cup of tea for either of us. But, for Britain First to get so much widespread support among the British working classes (the classes that have suffered the most from Islamic depredation) should indicate that something is badly wrong in British society and especially regarding the activities of Muslims within it.
Sargon quite rightly points out that for freedom of expression to really exist then it must include freedom of expression even for those that we may vehemently disagree with, which includes groups like Britain First. Sargon goes on to intimate that Britain First may, despite the background in Ulster religious politics of their backers, be acting as a lightning rod for people in areas where Muslims are causing problems and helping people to articulate their concerns about Islam, concerns that seem to be vigorously ignored by the police, the media and the Government. Britain First did not miraculously appear from some mysterious aether, they arose because there are very real worries among ordinary people about what Islam is doing to our country, our culture and to our families.
This video is well worth watching and I have embedded it below.
The Sargon of Akkad You Tube channel that this video was published on, ‘The Thinkery’, can be found via the link below:
Never heard of this chap until the event at which he was due to be speaking was interrupted, but have had to stop part-way through his oration.
1. Never heard of this Calvinist chap he mentions either, but – No – objecting to islamification doesn’t put you on a par with muslims in the Middle East. Wishing to preserve your own religion does not make you the same as people who will not tolerate other people’s.
2. “Jayda Fransen’s videos”: No, no, and again – No!. He repeats this lie about “Jayda Fransen’s videos”. Finding a video on-line and re-sending it does not make it “your video”. She is not responsible for the content of the videos, and they are not “anti-muslim videos” – they are videos OF muslims, circulated BY muslims, and then re-circulated by non-muslims. They are a factual record of events, and facts aren’t pro or anti anything. The people who were filmed were responsible for their own actions – they weren’t actors following a script, which the phrase “anti-muslim video” is intended to create. You might as well accuse TV companies showing the attack on Pearl Harbour of “making anti-Japanese videos”. He dismisses the murder of a homosexual as being “a man being chased around a roof”, couldn’t even be bothered to find out the contents of a third before whiffling to camera, but then claims that it was “false”. No – it wasn’t false; it showed a local boy being attacked by the son of immigrants, although the attacker wasn’t an immigrant himself. What difference does that make to the essential point that the locals are in danger from muslim migration? That the attacker had been born and raised there, only makes the offence worse, and adds proof to the point that the muslim population resists integration.
Having read you singing this chap’s praises, I was expecting better.
Maybe Sargon could have phrased things differently at certain points. He did state that most of these videos were of ‘Muslims doing their stuff’and I believe he has commented on the issue of the videos in more detail elsewhere. As regards the Calvinist stuff, what Sargon was driving at is that the founder of BF’s own motivations to oppose Islam are not political cultural or practical but are firmly on religious and theological grounds. When its looked at in that context then yes there is some similarity between Muslims who hate others on religious grounds. Towards the end of the video Sargon does set out the extent of the problems that we face from un-assimilable Islam and made the point that the West must not yield and allow Shariah as it goes against the principle of equal justice for all.
I’ve been listening to Sargon for a few years now and I’ve found him pretty consistent in his opposition to the sort of cultural and social corruption that political correctness has wrought on us all. It might be worth going to Sargon’s channel and bringing these issues up with him as he is willing to debate and also willing to issue corrections when he has to. Sargon comes from a different political viewpoint and background from me and we don’t always agree on things, such as religious schools for example. I support, but not always blindly agree wit Sargon precisely because Sargon comes from a classical liberal background yet can be unafraid to say the ‘M’ word when necessary and point out that Britain has a Muslim problem and shooting the messenger is not the way to deal with these problems
