The Deadly Price of Denial: Why Britain Is Losing Its Fight Against Islamism
We did not suffer an Islamist invasion. We invited it. We opened the doors and welcomed it in. And once here, the Islamists found ready allies. The far left, with its obsessive hatred of Jews. The liberal establishment, which clothed itself in virtue while partnering with sectarian power-brokers.
Together, they radicalised a generation of young Muslims. Together, they silenced dissent by branding ordinary people as racists. Together, they built a system that protects extremists while tightening control over everyone else.
We are now living with the consequences. An entire generation has been radicalised not in secret training camps abroad but in broad daylight here in Britain.
The conflict in Gaza has become their rallying cry. Children, still in school uniforms, wave banners calling for the eradication of Israel. University students chant for intifada and glorify jihad. Thousands openly sign petitions in support of Hamas, a proscribed terrorist organisation.
This is not the fringe. It is increasingly the mainstream. It marches through our universities, pours onto our streets, dominates our airwaves, and seeps into our institutions. It is protected by politicians who learned long ago that there were votes to be won and careers to be built by feeding it.
It is shielded by activists and journalists too blinded by their ultra-liberal ideology to see what is unfolding before them. They convince themselves they are defending minorities, when in reality they are strengthening the very forces that despise liberal values.
We saw this before in Iran, where the so-called progressives cheered on the Islamists, believing they were allies in the struggle against oppression, until the moment came when the Islamists no longer needed them, and they too were hung from the lampposts.
And it is enforced by officials who have built a system of two-tier policing, where ordinary people are criminalised for speaking the truth while those who glorify violence are protected, excused, or rewarded with status and funding.
This is the direct result of years of appeasement. Years of handing the microphone to the loudest radicals, funding their organisations, and calling it “community cohesion.” Years of silencing those who tried to sound the alarm by branding them racists, bigots, or troublemakers.
We were told this was about diversity and cohesion. In reality, it has been about indoctrination and control. What we are witnessing is not a distant foreign conflict spilling over, but the deliberate radicalisation of our own young people on British soil.
Now we stand at a crossroads.
One path is the one we have already travelled for too long. It is one of more denial, more excuses, and yet more appeasement dressed up as tolerance, and a brand of politics that rewards extremists while punishing those who call them out.
The other path begins with courage. Courage to name Islamism as the threat it is. Courage to hold to account the politicians, police, and officials who enabled it. Courage to stand with Muslims who want to live as free citizens, not as subjects of a sectarian machine. And courage to call out the Islamists for who they are, irrespective of how many votes they control.
The choice before us is simple. Submission or resistance. Silence or truth. Survival or surrender.
Yesterday proved where appeasement leads. It ends in blood on our streets and fear in our communities. Tomorrow will be decided by whether we finally find the courage to confront this reality or continue down the road of denial.
If we choose denial, we will lose not only our safety but everything this nation believes it holds dear. We will lose our freedoms, our voice, and our right to live without fear in our own country.
History will not forgive cowardice. It never has. The question now is whether we will be remembered as the generation that surrendered to Jihad, or the generation that stood its ground and reclaimed its future.
