Robert Spencer on the transformation of Britain by Islam
What’s been going on has become rather obvious, although some are in denial:
A world-historical societal transformation is taking place before our very eyes, and yet few have taken notice. Britain, the erstwhile leader of the Western world and the foundation and source of English-speaking civilization, is in its last days as a free society, and will soon become an Islamic state.
If by “soon” Spencer means within a year or two, and if by “Islamic state” he means an outright mullahtocracy such as Iran, I’d say his timeline is too quick. But the basic trend is there. Britain doesn’t need to become a theocracy (although I don’t doubt that’s the goal of some of its Muslim inhabitants) for Islamic ideas to take hold both in government and in public life, and of course vicious Jew-hatred is only one of those bad ideas. What’s more, the transformation relies on the sympathies and support of the left, which is a large segment of the population that isn’t Muslim.

The English actor-turned-political-activist Lawrence Fox recently noted what was happening: “The Mayor of London is a Muslim. The mayor of Birmingham is a Muslim. The Mayor of Leeds is Muslim. Mayor of Blackburn – Muslim. The mayor of Sheffield is a Muslim. The mayor of Oxford is a Muslim. The mayor of Luton is a Muslim. The mayor of Oldham is Muslim. The mayor of Rochdale is Muslim. All this was achieved by only 4 million Muslims out of 66 million people in England.”
You might say it’s impressive in terms of the achievement of political power by a fairly small group.

This kind of thing has happened before, but few remember. …
The invading Normans were few in number compared to the English, but once they had defeated the defenders, they set about systematically to ensure that England would remain theirs in perpetuity. They removed the native English from positions of political and ecclesiastical power. Norman French mingled with the Old English language, ultimately creating the English language as we know it today. Historian Richard Southern observed that “no country in Europe, between the rise of the barbarian kingdoms and the 20th century, has undergone so radical a change in so short a time as England experienced after 1066.”
Until now. Lawrence Fox continued: “Today there are over 3,000 mosques in England. There are over 130 sharia courts. There are more than 50 Sharia Councils. 78 percent of Muslim women do not work, receive state support + free accommodation. 63 percent of Muslims do not work, receive state support + free housing. State-supported Muslim families with an average of 6 to 8 children receive free accommodation. Now every school in the UK is required to teach lessons about Islam. Has anyone ever been given an opportunity to vote for this?”
All this has already transformed Britain, and much more is to come. JNS recently reported that “honor-based abuse cases in England rose by more than 60% in two years, with 2,594 cases in 2022 vs. 1,599 in 2020.” …
The native authorities, meanwhile, are cowed and submissive, afraid of offending their new masters.
The Rotherham sex abuse cases, ignored by authorities for a long time for fear of seeming racist and offending the Muslim population, were the portents of things to come. Or actually they were the sign that those things were already present.
The fear of being called “racist” and the existence of an extensive welfare state have combined to help contribute to this crisis, and have been almost as influential as Britain’s immigration policy itself. Add a refusal of the Brits to insist on assimilation, and the stage was set. At this point it seems to have reached a point of no return, as far as I can see.
“Historian Richard Southern observed that “no country in Europe, between the rise of the barbarian kingdoms and the 20th century, has undergone so radical a change in so short a time as England experienced after 1066.”

Southern was a good historian, but he’s flat wrong there. Look at Iberia, where Spain and Portugal did, actually driving the Moslems out. Look at Germany’s unification. Or try Russia, twice in one century.
As an Englishman, I suppose it’s natural he’s got Anglo-Saxons on the brain. But there’s no reason the rest of us should be so afflicted. What always gets me is whining about how mistreated they were by the Normans. We don’t seem to get similar sympathy for the Britons. We don’t even know how many Angles etc there were. Was it an invasion by a people, or by a ruling class? Or – most likely – something in between. We can be sure that the dominant J R Green narrative is false. Too many British remained.
it took 300 hundred years for la reconquista, to finally succeed,
It’s easy to fix this, but it won’t be done. A majority of Muslims are on benefits. What would happen if all Muslims and other foreigners on benefits were notified they’ll be cut off as of next month, but they are eligible for free plane tickets and moving expenses back to the old country? Problem solved.
Also, Tommy Robinson was abused by almost everyone when he exposed the Muslim grooming gangs. It seemed to me at the time that a lot of the talk against TR was class based, i.e, middle class people didn’t want to agree with a tough working class guy with a provincial accent. Even Nigel Farage distanced himself. Has Farage groveled to TR yet? If the law of karma is true, Farage can only save England if he buys Tommy a beer in public.
Societies are harder than you think to change!
The English have lost their faith and their self-confidence. And yes, the welfare state is heavily to blame for the current mess.
I am neither Christian, Muslim, nor Jewish. Not a “person of the book.” I have lived in Muslim-majority societies and felt welcome and safe, and counted many of my Muslim colleagues as friends. However, I will never vote for a Muslim to any elected office. It is suicidal. I also lived in London for a few years, and saw 1st hand the growing transformation of the UK. It was the only place in the world where I have lived where I felt blatantly discriminated against. And it was always by covered up Muslim women when I shopped in the outdoor market.
Eventually the non-Muslim Brits will have to figure out that they must simply vote as a block, because in the case of every city mentioned in the article, that is exactly what the Muslims are doing.
I won’t vote for any Muslim who is not thoroughly committed to the American constitutional system, and it would be hard to convince me of that for any Muslim.
Lived while in the military in England for two years, so have a affinity for the country. Sadly I have read the writing on the wall for some time. It’s a matter of who gives in first in Europe. If it’s all at once they are all screwed, if 1 goes very soon will it be enough for the others to wake up?
Not really sure if the Leftists care one way or another.
The Left here are doing there best to bring in, and forbid assimilation of as many third workers as possible. The Left in Britain, like our own Left, think that they will always be in control of the immigrants. They are wrong.
But, at least they will be the first to die.
England had no courage or will to resist.
In the late 1930’s the was a vote in the Oxford (university) Union whether they would go to war and fight the (real) fascists even to die for king and country. The Oxford elites said no they would rather not (or just no). Fortunately the rest of the country did fight and die for king and country.
It seems the Oxfordite class have been up to their old habbits again, this time with Islamist immigrants (east Asians), but for 30 plus years.
Rue Britania.

Not sure about that, but it would take a level of resolve that the UK hasn’t shown in well over a century.

No, don’t think, “problem solved” but it would, undoubtedly, lead to the kind of conflict that is going need to happen if the “Islamic Occupation” is to be reversed. It would essentially be a civil war, with some serious atrocities on both sides, as Islam did at has always done, and the West responded in anger to said atrocities with its own… all the while with the Postmodern Leftists wailing and gnashing their teeth about how wrong it is to commit atrocities.
That is, they’ll be making the same kind of noises that the current crop of merde spewing pundits are making about Israel vs. Hamas. I’ll repeat my eternal observation: Postmodern Liberalism is a Social Cancer.
As I said, however, it would take a degree of resolve I have not seen in the UK in a long time. Feels like the last vestige of that happened during the Battle of Britain, and that was a matter of hunkering down, while others (e.g., the USA) actually saved their bacon, and not an act of actual aggression and offense of their own.
Until Islam itself is declared a terrorist network and the adherents of this book of hate are sent to gulags then there is no hope. There is no hope. 70000 Muslims imported as a complete nest to Michigan by Obama. Your time is coming in 3 generations
Here is a news story stating that one third of the students in Vienna are now Muslims, greater than the percentage of Catholics. *

I’m glad I left Michigan.
I don’t understand this. Islam has shown, time and again, that it is incompatible with the West.
Why are we doing this to ourselves?
I was reading the intro to a national geographic special issue on the middle ages,
and it has something to the efffect that in the ’20th century, we have a more nuanced view of islam, because it is so tolerant, then a few pages later it dings Christianity, because it not forward thinking about homosexuals and witches
Come again, thats how they frame it, the Old West is reactionary, but the Eastern faith of the prophet, is new and exciting,
