I woke up this morning to an American social media personality, Valentina Gomez, whose bio starts with "I follow Jesus Christ" declaring with zero evidence that the child thrown into the crocodile enclosure in the UK was thrown by a Muslim. Her words exactly:
A muslim threw a 3-year old child into a pit full of crocodiles.
Who is this helping?
As far as I'm aware there is absolutely zero evidence to support this.
This woman is often invited to Tommy Robinson events so she'll be followed by that crowd.
So now some British people will wake up, see that, and genuinely believe a Muslim fed a child to crocodiles.
There are real integration issues in this country. I have just finished reading about a Pakistani gang member who called in 20 of his mates to hack a tree surgeon's hand off, for instance. Stabbings are surging all over London and inner cities with black people disproportionately perpetrating and being victim. We clearly have integration issues.
That's all worth talking about. But that's not going to go well when we've got Robinson and Americans screaming "Muslims did it" about everything.
The grooming gang was made up of predominately Pakistani Muslims but was Islam driving force? I'm not sold. There are similar Sikh gangs operating in Canada, there was the Sicilian Catholic mafia in America. Was Catholicism behind them turning New York into a blood bath?
I think it's more likely that these are ethnic and clan dynamics of people who have failed to integrate for reasons that need exploring.
If anyone is interested I can't across a piece written by a British Asian guy, Sharjeel Ashraf, specifically on South Asian non-integration. He says theres basically a problem that runs all across the south Asian community and they are clannish, stick to in-group hiring, organised crime, lots of hostility to Britain, etc, regardless of religion. I'll add the link.
From where I stand it looks like Tommy Robinson has basically exported a narrative to American audiences that we're mid-civil-war with Muslims and some of them are running with it and its creating a hysterical feedback loop.
I don't feel like I'm in a civil war. I don't feel terrified when I see a woman in hijab. Mother Mary covered her hair.
Isn't Robinson always banging on about everyone becoming Christian again? Next time you see a hijab Robinson, that's how Mother Mary would've covered.
No group is without its baggage. It seems ours includes having given the world OnlyFans. Pakistan has given us grooming gangs. According to the Internet that has to mean every Pakistani is a rapist and every British woman is a wh#re.
Can we not have sensible conversations anymore that actually protect people so tree surgeons don't get hacked up by gangs, there aren't teens roaming around with knives in their pants, girls don't get raped by grooming networks and women don't get their head coverings ripped off in the street.
I thought I lived in Britain!
