From Elsewhere: Interesting and thoughtful piece from Momus

 

I’ve recommended that people give the writing of Momus Najmi a go on here as I think that he’s one of those writers that even if you disagree with him will probably make at least one or two points that you agree with or at worst can meet half way. He’s put up on X (formerly Twitter) an interesting piece about how some integrated minority Britons are thinking and feeling and I want to put his piece up and comment on it afterwards.

Mr Najmi said:

Most of you might not care or even want to listen to this but the fear within the Asian and Black community is very real. And I am talking about those who integrated and assimilated. The fear of what will happen to them when the English begin to hate – and most feel they already have begun. It is a sad and dangerous byproduct of nefarious actors pushing the native population to the extreme and the public having their concerns being ignored time and again.

Maybe more should have been done by those communities to oust the wronguns from within them. But also most just stayed away from such sorts within their communities and just lived their lives like the rest of the populace, and did all they can to progress their lives and move out of such areas. Nobody heeded the warnings because nobody was interested. But we can’t now just ignore these realities thinking it has no long term impact. And that the worries are not real.

I have serious concerns and fears for the soul of this beautiful country and what will end up happening as the worst elements keep pushing people to the extreme. My focus has always been to save the souls of people from being corrupted on all sides of the equation, and no matter the people and place. And this is also why I speak against Islam because I want Muslims to save their souls from the corruption of Islam and turn to the love of Christ if needed, but at the very least recognise the problems that produce the extremists from among them. But as usual intentions are always misunderstood, especially of those who only do things for the good of others and not for their own benefit. Because such people are hard to control and the establishment doesn’t like them. And they just end up being made an enemy for giving out warnings – because how dare you try waking up people from their sweet dreams.

So, where are we headed if no positive actions will be taken? Nowhere good. A path filled with suffering, unnecessary suffering, pointless. Resulting in no good. For even worse ills to repeat themselves in the future. We seem to not learn our lessons, or even remember them. May cheer on the chaos, not knowing the destruction they welcome. But they will soon know, when danger knocks on their door.

My comments made with reference to each paragraph:

Paragraph One

I think that some integrated minorities might indeed be feeling a bit more fearful than they once might have been. What’s sad about that is that probably wasn’t the case when migration was being more sensibly managed and we didn’t have two, three or more tier governance, administration or policing. We were heading for a place in the UK where there was less and less weight placed on a person’s race and much more on their character and we were getting there because the British are naturally fair and tolerant. Ever nation and culture has its arseholes but Britain seemed to have less than some. But the excessive amounts of immigration and a rise in the number of low skill uneducable migrants who are unsuitable to live in civilised societies, what is starting to be termed ‘garbage immigration’, has stressed that tolerance almost beyond endurance for a lot of working class communities especially. The sometimes awful behaviour of migrants and their offspring along with the religious extremism, the violence, the disrespect for women and girls along with other crimes and social problems has helped many in Britain to learn to hate. The sort of hate that fed religious persecution and the civil wars in Britain’s past had to a large part been put away like previous generations did to particularly embarrassing mentally retarded relatives. For the most part that sort of hate wasn’t ‘done’ anymore, we’d been there, done that and still owned the blood soaked tee shirt. I agree with Momus that this newly relearned hatred might have been averted had governments listened properly to the populace when they continually and consistently appealed to successive governments to close the borders. As for the nefarious actors who’ve radicalised ordinary Britons in to hating then I’d say that it’s almost certainly not the ‘far right’.

As I’ve said before on here, the genuine far right in Britain doesn’t have the funds, the manpower, the organisational abilities or the public support to feed or create that sort of hatred. It’s the sort of hatred that has instead been created by successive governments who have failed to act when the people of Britain pointed out peacefully what was going wrong and who were not just ignored but smeared as ‘racists’ for doing so. The State, no matter what its party political shade, couldn’t even prevent or properly punish mass rapes by Muslim men a group which contains men whose misogyny would have shocked even the early Victorian English whose women had few of the rights of women in the UK today should have. Government policy and government dismissal of the public’s concerns about the effects of policy, have been the real driver of radicalisation, not some basement dwelling neo-Nazi dribbling over his copy of Mein Kampf.

Paragraph Two comment

Again, Momus makes a couple of valuable points about how more could have been done by some minority communities to weed out and deal with their own wrong’uns. I can certainly understand how and why some decided that they just wouldn’t get into a row with their own nutters and just kept out of the way and got on with life. I think that many of us have just avoided wrong’uns rather than get into unknown or unspecified problems. He’s also correct that there are some, both from inside and outside of these communities, who gave warnings to the Establishment about problems and who were ignored. Momus is also correct that those in authority have had a tendency to ignore reality, to ignore things like cultural compatibility or religious extremism or clashes of values and he’s correct that eventually the consequences of that reality will be unable to be ignored.

Paragraph Three comment

Momus is also onto something when he says that he’s fearful of the future of the country. The ‘worst elements’ that he mentioned are as I see it the Liberal/Left which is now ensconced in the adminisphere, the political class that cannot comprehend of any other policy than open borders and top down multiculturalism, the racial separatists, of all colours, and the religious maniacs spouting hostility and division in the pulpits of our mosques. These worst elements are also creating oppositional worst elements as well, creating a cycle of hostility and division.

Like Momus I don’t hate individual Muslims but I do dislike their ideology and wish that they’d give it up and do something more constructive and less lethal instead. Momus is also correct about there being people who are corrupted but there are also an awful lot of people who are doing the corrupting, many of which I believe are mentioned in the list above. I applaud those Muslims who stand up and say what is wrong with the way that their faith is being practised and do what Christians and Jews have done which is learn from the world and interpret scripture accordingly. The problem is that there are not nearly enough of this type of Muslim out there. Too many keep quiet maybe because they don’t want to get involved or they fear visitations from their own increasingly violent fraggles. Momus makes a very valuable point by saying that warnings have been ignored when given because there have been too many who do not like the reality of the society that has been created to interfere or be a counternarrative to their beliefs in ‘diversity’ or ‘equity’ or ‘inclusion’ or whatever.

Paragraph Four

He’s right that things look bad but I’m not sure what sort of positive action could be taken? Momus doesn’t specify and that has caused me to engage in a bit of head scratching. What would that action be? We are now at a position where division lines are starting to harden but it’s not just the Government and Muslims on one side and the people on the other, it’s much worse than that. Everyone is siloising. There is no effective centre to properly protect the decent people both from the White majority and from integrated and loyal minority populations. The problems we have are now so ingrained that the usual interfaith activities and cross communal encounter projects will no longer cut the mustard. With politicians and police losing trust at a high rate of knots I certainly can’t see a role for government in these potential positive actions as all sides in this conflict are likely to see such governmental actions as dishonest propaganda.

Momus is however correct in saying that there’s a whole load of pain coming down the road and that we should not cheer on the idea of chaos. Some of us who have been, for work reasons, in chaotic public order situations and who have seen ‘King Mob’ in action know that eventually this deranged monarch ends up coming to everyone’s doors, including those who might have initially cheered King Mob on.
