Retired rear admiral Chris Parry said: “Clearly Islamic extremism is the issue and not Islam.” He also said: “We know that Islam is not a threat, rather it is extremist elements.”
Could Parry actually show from mainstream Islamic theological sources the difference between Islam and “Islamic extremism”? Could he show us a sect or school of Islamic jurisprudence that is not political, supremacist, expansionist, and violent, and a Muslim-majority country that has implemented a vision of Islam that allows for non-Muslims to be granted rights equal to those granted to Muslims?
The answer to both questions is no. Parry could not do either one of those things, because what he considers to be “Islamic extremism” is actually mainstream Islam. This truth, however, is forbidden to enunciate today in shattered, staggering, dhimmi Britain, as the suspension of this cadet illustrates.
“Cadet suspended from RAF officer-training course for saying Islam is main threat to UK,” by David Jarvis and Mark Nicol, Daily Mail, April 18, 2026:
An RAF cadet has been suspended after he said Islam poses the greatest security threat to the UK while taking part in a training exercise….
It led to him being kicked off the officer-training course, pending an investigation….
The air force has launched a probe into the young cadet’s remarks at RAF Cranwell, where the next generation of officers are trained.
Retired rear admiral Chris Parry last night accused the air force of shutting down the ‘critical thinking’ of new officers around controversial issues and said the cadet should be reinstated.
‘If I’d asked that question and got that answer I would have also asked the cadet to expand on his thinking and got some critical thinking going rather than suspend him,’ he said.
‘Clearly Islamic extremism is the issue and not Islam, but how are young people expected to develop critical thinking around these complex issues if they are shut down in this way?…
Rear admiral Perry also said: ‘If this cadet had answered “the far-Right” I doubt he would have been suspended.
‘We know that Islam is not a threat, rather it is extremist elements, and this appears to have been a missed opportunity to discuss that for fear of causing offence.’…

Leftists and Muslims detest the truth where Islam is a threat to Non-Muslims and to Muslims as taught in Islam’s Qur’an. 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…”
Allah rewards Muslims with Paradise when they kill and are killed in Jihad, war against Non-Muslims with MUSLIM MONEY and with MUSLIM LIVES to make Islam supreme. Allah in Qur’an 49:15 teaches, “Surely the believers[Muslims] 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.”
Allah commands Muslims to fight Non-Muslims to establish Islamic Law, Sharia, so that Islam reigns supreme. Allah in Qur’an 9:29 commands, “Engage in war with those who do not believe in Allah nor in the last day[Non-Muslims]. Nor forbid what Allah and his messenger forbid[in Islamic Law], nor believe in the religion of the truth[Islam] among those who have given the book[Jews and Christians] until they pay the jizyah[Extortion Payment] out of hand and they are subdued[disgraced].”

Gee Whiz, how stupid are these people who think like this.
Has not figured out that it’s all in one the same and it’s called Islam.

Inotherwords, It’s not guns that are the problem, it’s the bullets.
Shame on the cadet for saying it was the gun.
Noticed says
Except guns are not the problem. People are the problem. Specifically Muslims. Because Islam is a problem Muslims will always be a problem.
Greyhound Fancier says
The retired Admiral is only slightly less clueless than the people who suspended the officer candidate. The UK is toast.
Bruce David Watt says
The Ayatollah Khomeini Said,” There is no moderation in Islam” He also said there is no laughter or music only submission. What more proof does the weak-minded people who believe in the rule of law and fair play need than the Supreme leaders word. They are the same mindset as those that sucked up to Hitler, Stalin and Mao. in the hopes of peace from the wonderful dictators.
Islam is bad says
The suspended RAF cadet should be reinstated and promoted.
The suspended cadet sounds like one of the very few members of the UK Armed Forces who actually understands that Islam (not extremist or radical Islam) poses the greatest security threat to the UK.

Dhimmi Britain surges in the European Islamopandering derby. And by the way, Islam is Islam.
James Lincoln says
According to the feature article, Robert Spencer states:
“Islamic extremism” is actually mainstream Islam.”
Yes, it is.
But that truth cannot be spoken in today’s UK.
James Lincoln says
I need a little help here…
Just what is the UK’s RAF Royal Air Force actually training for?
Defending their country?
Against who?
Patton says
Britain may still be arguably barely British but it is indisputably no longer “Great”. Lower the Union Jack and raise the accursed red and green crescent. Sad and pathetic.
Statler says
1984
Dave says
The cadet was right, but his superiors are too afraid to admit it.
The UK as a western Christian nation has all but disappeared.

Cadet suspended from RAF officer-training course for saying Islam is main security threat to UK
…………………………………………….
Utter insantiy susoending this British patriot. Now he will either have to lie and say Islam is not a problem, or he will not be allowed to defend his people. Sick to force such a choice.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
I think Chris Parry was trying to avoid turning off muslims who don’t believe in jihad – however many there are. However, given his suspension, he might as well have not bothered
Major Tom says
Methinks the Admirals’ critical thinking has slipped to sea……..
Fred says
The cadet has more sense than the admiral does.
Ralph says
The truth shall NOT set you free. In UK, it will get you in trouble.
James Lincoln says
According to the feature article, Ali was given a diagnosis of schizophrenia. I assume that he was treated in a psychiatric hospital, if he had that diagnosis.
What criteria did the psychiatric medical staff use as a “test of cure / control” before his release from the psychiatric hospital?:
1. What medications / psychotherapy was he prescribed?
2. What would be the follow-up care regimen?
3. Most importantly, if it was determined by the psychiatric medical staff that the islamic religious ideology exacerbated his underlying mental illness, would they recommend leaving the religion? If not, why not?
And who is going to be held accountable if / when he is found “cured” and plots another act of terror?
James Lincoln says
