“To quell community tension,” you see, and after all, every society has its dominant religion and blasphemy laws, right? Sure. But Sebastian Milbank doesn’t acknowledge, and likely doesn’t realize, that there is an Islamic imperative to make Britain cease to be a “multicultural state” and become instead an Islamic one. He would almost certainly dismiss any such suggestion as “Islamophobic.” And so his article justifying Islamic blasphemy laws in the UK is just another signpost on his society’s road to self-destruction.
“In defence of blasphemy laws,” by Sebastian Milbank, The Critic, February 9, 2025:
…Nor are Islamic complaints about blasphemy purely the product of a desire to impose Sharia law. In former British territories, from Israel to India and Pakistan, blasphemy laws, specifically intended to protect Muslim sensibilities, were introduced by British colonial administrators — hardly figures championed by modern progressives.
That isn’t a call for complacency of course. Pakistan’s blasphemy laws were radicalised and “Islamicised” in the 1980s, and it is under those revised laws that the death penalty — long excluded from English common law — was applied, often against religious minorities.
As Britain has gone from a denominationally plural Christian state to a multicultural one, where Muslims and Hindus fight in the streets of Leicester, it is perhaps hardly surprising that the same laws used to quell community tensions in the British Raj would return, albeit in new, progressively inflected forms.
A reality that has not dawned on much of the libertarian Right is that all societies have blasphemy laws — because any system of laws must punish those who attack the principles upon which those laws are based, even if it is through the relatively light measures of restricting publication and exacting fines….

Leftists are allies with Islam’s Muslims against Non-Muslims to include Islamic Law and Muslim Quranic principles for ultimate power and control over Non-Muslims. The Muslim goal is Islamization under Sharia, Islamic Law.
Islam is a MUSLIM TERRORIST ORGANIZATION(MTO) to fight against Non-Muslims and NOT A PEACEFUL religion under Western Law because Islam funds, teaches, and promotes a Terrorist, Criminal Organization with Muslims as Terrorists for Allah. More specifically, Islam is a Muslim Terrorist Ideology and Murderous, Criminal Enterprise of Intolerance, continuous war, discrimination, segregation, supremacy, genocide, polygamy, propaganda, deceit, hatred, incitement, sedition, rape, terrorism, and violence against all Non-Muslims as taught in the Quran(Quran 2:216; 4:95; 8:12,39,74; 9:5,29,41,49, 21:921; 88,111,123;21:92; 49:15 and more).
Non-Muslims CANNOT have peace with Islam and its Muslims because Islam and its murderous god, Allah, demand a continuous Muslim war, a religious duty, against unbelievers where Non-Muslims are CRIMINALS under Islam when Allah in Qur’an 8:39 says, “And engage in war with them[Non-Muslims] until there will not be sedition and the religion will be completely to Allah…” HENCE, NON-MUSLIMS MUST MAKE ISLAM, ITS MOSQUES, ITS SCHOOLS, ITS ORGANIZATIONS, ETC. ILLEGAL UNDER THE LAW. Similarly, Islam and its many Organizations must be identified and publicly declared to be MUSLIM TERRORIST ORGANIZATIONS for their funding, teaching, and support of terrorism, violence, and discrimination against Non-Muslims(eg. Quran 9:5,29,111 and more).
The FRUIT of Islam is incessant WAR, terrorism, discrimination, slavery, malice, ISLAMIZATION, and violence against all Non-Muslims; this FACT must be taught and broadcast to the general public to prohibit Islam, its Mosques, its Courts, and its Schools. Also, Islam is an Antichrist System terrorizing Israel, Christians, and Non-Muslims(Quran 3:54; 5:51 and more). Plus, there is NO EQUALITY UNDER THE LAW in Islam or in Islamic Law(Quran 5:51; 9:29; 98:6-7 and more). In Sahih Bukhari(V6,B60,N80), Abu Huraira narrates, “‘You(Muslims) are the best of peoples ever raised for mankind.’ means, the best of peoples for the people, as you bring them[Non-Muslims] with chains on their necks till they embrace Islam[see Quran 3:110].” See also Quran 3:22,151; 69:30-32; 98:6.
Western Muslims seek to expand Islam’s legality into the West’s Legal Systems and to advance Islam’s totalitarian, discriminatory goals to conquer the West. Consequently, Islam promotes a limitless, terroristic, Muslim war against unbelievers when Allah in Qur’an 49:15 says, “Surely the believers are only those who believed in Allah and his messenger. They do not doubt, and they performed JIHAD with THEIR MONEY AND THEIR LIVES for the sake of Allah. Those are the truthful.”

Yep. A useful idiot, and maybe a paid one.
Rob Porter says
Read these signs and ask yourself why any country would want such people among them. In the Oxford Union recently Tommy Robinson revealed even more daily miseries that Muslims are imposing upon Britons. Yet the gutless British, German, French, Dutch and other European moron authorities don’t throw them out.
Vice-President J B Vance in eloquent but firm manner this week told the Europeans they are a mess in regard to unvetted (Muslim) immigration.
Walter Sieruk says
This Jihadwatch article informs its reader that “there is an Islamic imperative to make Britain cease to be a “multicultural state.”
With that stated it’s also fitting to add that one of the many Politically Correct ideas which is tragically alive in the United Kingdom In that of the politically correct philosophy of that ideology of multiculturalism many Westerners are infected by that worthless , sick and unrealistic philosophy.
With its teaching of the concept that all cultures are equal, because this multiculturalism concept teaches the foolishness that all values derive their meaning within the specific social content. This folly of thinking leads, or misleads, many people to view every position as only “opinion” and that truth is only relevant to the person or society holding that view. In other words, discovering actual truth in impossible.
Multiculturalism is absurd, nonsensical and contradictory. For example, to say “finding the truth is impossible” Is a statement of contradiction. For in making that statement that is saying, in essence, “I have found the truth which is finding the truth is not possible.” It should be obvious that this “Cultural War’ needs to and should have a solidly based in and on truth and not by a worthless “war of opinions.”
With the Left Wing, with their mindset of multiculturalism, they claim that there is no absolute truth but only “opinion.” On every subject. Of course, the leftist who make that claim do so as an “absolute truth.” What a flip –flop!
Two other examples of the falseness of multiculturalism. with its teaching that everything is only “opinion.”
First is in the late 1970’s two guys said “There are so many different religions that no one can ever know the truth about religion.” They were really saying that statement so dogmatically that they were self-contradicting. For they were saying that they know the truth about religion that is not one can know the truth about religion.
Second, a shallow man in the 1980’s said when asked the question “Why do you always small talk ? You don’t ever talk about a topic that might have some value, as politics? After ll. all things are related “ That shallow man replied “There are so many different political ideas that finding the true one is unattainable and all things are not related.” The wisdom-less man was saying that he obtained the truth which is the he can’t obtain the truth and who does can is really truthfully say that all things are not related in he can’t find the truth. How foolish, an obvious contradiction. What is needed to counter this nonsense multiculturalism is the concept of “Absolutism.” Which a definition of this, with the scope of the topic, is “An absolute standard or principle .”
In this cultural war it’s the Bible with its absolute standards and principles to stand firm against the extreme folly and foolishness of multiculturalism.
In conclusion, in this War of Ideas a firm foundation for truth may be found in the Bible and not the weak folly of multiculturalism in which everything is “opinion.”

“…there is an Islamic imperative to make Britain cease to be a “multicultural state” and become instead an Islamic one.”
And so will begin the descent of Mankind into the darkest of dark ages, a thousand years of Islamic night.
To slightly paraphrase the greatest man of the 20th century (Churchilll):
“If we can stand up to (Islam), all Europe may be free and the life of the world may move forward into broad, sunlit uplands.
But if we fail, then the whole world, including the United States, including all that we have known and cared for, will sink into the abyss of a new Dark Age made more sinister, and perhaps more protracted, by the lights of perverted science.”
tgusa says
That quote is valid crown and it is a warning from the past. The primary difference / problem is this time around the bastards are on the Island and embedded in every institution. And of course, just as importantly, I dont see a Winston Churchill (your greatest 20th century leader) among you right now.
tgusa says
Churchill knew how to easily associate and communicate with Americans because he had the influence of a mother that was an American.

The idiot no-nothing is in favor of silencing any criticisms or Truth about islime
How does he feel about the same restrictions regarding Christianity, or Judaism?
How about for the Hindus he mentioned?
Why should mozlums be allowed to speak lyingly and derogatorily about any other religion, while theirs’s is protected?
James Lincoln says
somehistory says,
“islime”
Not sure if that was a typo or intentional.
Regardless, I like it.
somehistory says
Thank you, James. It was intentional. I thought of it a couple of days ago, and have used it a few times. Happy to know you ‘like it.’

I have, on occasion on other forums where half are not anti-islam, referred to jihadists as the “allahu-akbar crowd”

I am impressed that the browser’s AI didn’t try to autocorrect you into spelling it like it is. I do an orthographic jihad on islamic entities by not capitalizing words like “islam”, “muslim”, “mohammedan”, “allah”, “sunni”, “shi’a”, even for grammar purposes
Although I have added the uncapitalized words to the system’s online dictionary, it still insists on capitalizing them every time, forcing me to go back. Really annoying
somehistory says
Infidel, my phone does that, but the pc just underlines and I ignore. And it is annoying on my phone.
Angeli says
It’s the same with myself . I never use capitals when referring to pisslam, allah (the paedo), muhammad (the mad child molester and pig faced paedo and the toilet paper quran 😊
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Angeli
I figured some years ago that that was the best way to disrespect an entity, given that in some instances, certain words were always capitalized, despite not being proper nouns. Granted, what we do is an outrage on grammar 😈, but given how pronouns have been abused over the last decade by the TQ… onwards part of the LGBTQ+ weirdos, what we do is a lot more innocuous

I used to type on a phone when I had a Nokia Lumia: Microsoft’s Windows Phone 8 did wonders for smartphone typing, and at the time was way ahead of both Apple and Android, which have subsequently caught up. However, I try to avoid typing much on my phone. My iPhone has the same iCloud account as my Mac, so whenever I need to type texts or messages, I use the latter to comfortably type, and only use phone typing while away from home

It needs to be made clear that Britain belong the British and not to foreign migrants usurpers who want to destroy England common Law and replace it with Islam with it’s Sharia.
tgusa says
We once launched an amphibious invasion to liberate our friends, the people of the Philippines, from the supremacist Imperial Japanese invaders. So my question is, if push comes to shove, as it is looking like it will, and we have to liberate our friends in the UK from the supremacist muslim invaders. What would be the estimated timeline for which we could declare the island secured? Just trying to get ahead of the issue.
OLD GUY says
Read their signs, islam is all about killing anyone who disagrees with their thinking. Why do we keep pussy footing around the idea that islam is a religion and yet alone one of peace and love. Islam is HATE and everything that could possibly be wrong with society. This so called religion is worse than the NAZIS.
