In particular, they refused to acknowledge the threat posed by the Muslim Brotherhood’s strategy of mass immigration and of using the democratic process to infiltrate extremists into political positions.
They failed to take seriously the jihadi strategy of demonstrating power to gain power. So they shrugged aside the mass Muslim prayer events in the streets; they didn’t understand why minarets on the mosques were being constructed higher than church steeples; and they called the takeover of public space by jihadi hate-marches against Israel “freedom of speech.”
The result has been the Muslim rape and grooming gangs, the arrival of “Gaza First” MPs and a sectarian Islamic political bloc and a teacher in hiding for the past five years after showing pictures of Mohammed to a class on free speech — all either sanitized, downplayed or ignored.
My book was the first to sound the warning that Britain was sleepwalking into this civilizational disaster. At the time, I was dismissed in Britain with scorn, while Americans shook their heads in astonishment at what was happening to the British and Europeans, wondering when they would wake up. Now, however, exactly the same process is at work in America.
The Holy Land trial, where Muslim Brotherhood networks and their subversive agenda for America were laid bare, didn’t prevent the exponential growth of Islamist extremism.
New York City has elected an Islamist mayor, Zohran Mamdani, who was pictured grinning alongside Wahhaj in his Al-
Taqwa mosque which has long been viewed as jihad central.
Dearborn, Mich., and even Texas now have significant Muslim communities, even though they are still a small minority in America as a whole.
But the conquest agenda doesn’t need many Muslims. What matters is their disproportionate rate of both extremism and public engagement — their very high voting turnout at elections, the fact that imams instruct the faithful how to vote, and the sophisticated selection of fanatical candidates for public office who will seduce the gullible and unwary.
Eyes on White House
With Mamdani in New York and El-Sayed in Michigan, the possibility of an Islamist in the White House suddenly doesn’t seem so fanciful.
Nevertheless, America is far better placed than Britain to resist this. In the UK, there’s no fightback; the country is united in decline and demoralization. The US may lament its deep political divisions, but at least parts of it are fighting back.
Several states are trying to ban or restrict Sharia law. In Texas, state leaders are opening investigations into Muslim institutions and attempting to block the development of huge Muslim enclaves. But much more needs to be done.
Britain offers the starkest possible warning of the frog being slowly boiled in the Islamist pot. Time is ticking.
Wake up, America.
