We have been chronicling the suicide of Britain here for over twenty years. Many people, including many Britons, have accused us over the years of exaggerating, and assured us that Britain would retain its values and culture. Well, that is looking less likely by the minute.
“Welcome to the Islamic theocracy of Great Britain,” by Tom Slater, Spiked, June 2, 2025:
It’s a verdict that would make the Ayatollah smile. Today, in nominally liberal Britain, a man has been found guilty of a crime after he dared to burn a Koran in public. Hamit Coskun, a Turkish-born asylum seeker, has been convicted of a ‘religiously aggravated public-order offence’ over his – quite literally – incendiary protest outside of the Turkish consulate in London in February, against what he sees as the Islamist turn of Erdogan’s Turkey. If nothing else, Coskun’s stunt has exposed the Islamist-apologist turn of our own United Kingdom.
On paper, Coskun has been convicted of ‘disorderly behaviour within the hearing or sight of a person likely to be caused harassment, alarm or distress’, motivated by ‘hostility towards members of a religious group, namely followers of Islam’, contrary to the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 and the Public Order Act 1986. But we all know what that word salad really means in practice, regardless of the judge’s many assurances to the contrary. Coskun has been convicted, and fined £240, for blasphemy. All by a supposedly secular court.
The judgement, handed down by district judge John McGarva, is an elaborate exercise in victim-blaming. Coskun was assaulted at the scene by two men – first by a passerby armed with a knife, then by a delivery rider who kicked Coskun while he was on the floor. Remarkably, this is used as proof of his guilt. ‘That the conduct was disorderly is no better illustrated than by the fact that it led to serious public disorder involving him being assaulted by two different people’, says McGarva. Thank God he wasn’t also wearing a short skirt, eh?…
It won’t have escaped your attention that our new backdoor blasphemy laws only seem to cover one religion in particular. Those who seek to ringfence Islam – and Islam alone – from ridicule or criticism no doubt believe they are protecting an embattled little guy. But Coskun’s case rather complicates that narrative. The – incidentally – diminutive Coskun, an atheist, is seeking asylum in the UK, claiming he faced political persecution in his native Turkey. Now, he has been made a criminal before his asylum claim has even been processed. What’s more, the evidence from across the Islamic world is that it is liberal Muslims, dissenting Muslims and ex-Muslims who bear much of the brunt of blasphemy laws and anti-blasphemy violence. Acquiescing to this religious intolerance means throwing apostates and the minorities within Islam under the proverbial bus….

Khomeini and Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi would be very happy to see what the UK has become

I last visited Britain in 1998. Went to see Cornwall and Devon, both of which were magnificent. “Back then” (it now seems like another era) Britain still had a chance not to go into self-destructive mode. It didn’t avail itself of that chance. No it did not and to this day it makes me deeply sad in my heart when I reflect upon what has happened to one of the greatest places on the planet. I don’t think I can ever go back there again.

I am in despair at what is being done to us in my country!😡

Like the now murdered man in Sweden, this one didn’t stand much chance of just speaking his mind on the matter of islime.
The governments are making the *feelings* of those who adhere to the evils of islime of more importance than Truth.
There will be a much heavier price (than what he has been charged) to pay for supporting and defending demonic evil to the point that Truth and speech which is meant to enlighten others, is punished.

For about 10 to 15 years I have suspected Charles is a closet convert to Islam
gravenimage says
He may well be–he is certainly particularly Islamophilic. Sadly, he is not the only one in the UK.
IanB says
Charles has an elaborate Islamic garden next to his country residence Highgrove House in Gloucestershire.
As King he is the head of the Church of England thus “Defender of the Faith” but on several occasions he has said he wants this changed to “Defender of Faiths”. I have thought myself that he either has already become a Muslim or potentially will convert. It does not bode well for us in what has become de facto dhimmi Englandistan.
Tim gallagher says
A dark ages is on the way if Islam prevails. Islam is such a load barbaric garbage that wants to drag the human race back to living life the way that 7th century knuckle draggers lived with its pedophilia, misogyny and endless other filth. Letting Muslim knuckle draggers, with the evil crap they believe, is a disaster, but if so many people in all our societies refuse to face up to the truth about islam, then the knuckle draggers will end up winning.

Thanks, gravenimage. It is pathetic this caving in to the Muslim knuckle draggers. If the Hungarians and poles get it I don’t understand why the British, the French and others, including Australians don’t get it.
Steve Brown says
Follow the money, Tim
Tim gallagher says
Probably right, Steve. traitorous scum selling the British people out for Muslim money.

Yes, indeed. No one would be convicted of burning their own Bible. or Torah, or Book of Vedas–but don’t touch a Qur’an. Britain inposing Shari’ah law on her peopl.
Jimmy White says
Anyone surprised hasn’t been to the UK in a decade.

A marked change from the British who opened fire on a handful of Americans in Boston in the 1700s to now where they allow little brown men dictate the appropriate laws and culture of their own country. Truly the politicians are cowards and lack the mettle to save their own country. Stop being afraid of being called racist
gravenimage says
Islam is an idology–not a race.
Patrick says
Britain was such a fine country, until they elected the leftist governments over time. Leftism and Islamism are partners, one strokes the other but, in time, the Leftists will be eliminated as well, they’re non-Muslim. It doesn’t look good for the Brit’s, Muhammad and Allah want to ensure all Muslims kill ALL non-Muslim. Does that ring a bell with anyone?
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Hamit Coskun might have been more successful getting away from islam had he gone to Uzbekistan or Tajikistan, rather than the Ummah Kaliphate. In those countries, islam is still curbed by their authoritarian leaders there
abu taleb says
It is not only Islam, but leftism is also on war with Christianity. It has been said before.
Matthew 24:9: “You will be hated by all nations for my name’s sake.”
somehistory says
Absolutely, abu taleb

OLD GUY says
I sincerely worry about the world we are leaving our Great Grandchildren. They may very well end up fighting and dying over our mistakes in dealing with ISLAM.
James Lincoln says
OLD GUY says,
“I sincerely worry about the world we are leaving our Great Grandchildren.”
Even our children.

A little OT, but out of Britain
“Prison governor has skull smashed in by inmate”
There is reference to “islamist.” And words about the moz who have attacked prison staff.
