In an article for The World Post, Stanley Weiss has revealed the extent of Great Britain’s Islamization.
Weiss’s concerns echo warnings issued by Christian Voice (which you can read about here and here and here and here and here), Weiss warns of the social and political effect of Western nations capitulating to radical Islam.
Weiss begins his article by comparing the crusades in the Middle Ages with the actions of Muslim extremists today. From 1096-1291 A.D., Christianity would most likely have been deemed a violent religion by the general public if people had the internet to publicize the deeds of Christians. But comparative violence is happening now as a result of radical Islam. Killings perpetrated by Muslims are plastered all over the internet, causing a sense of fear among people in Britain. This publicity makes it hard for Muslims to maintain that Islam is a peaceful religion.
Interestingly, Weiss believes that violence is not the most effective way that Islam is growing in Britain.
The experience of England shows that Islam’s most effective tools for establishing new footholds in Western cities might just be a passport and a marital bed. As improbable as it would have seemed 25 years ago — and as xenophobic and paranoid as it undoubtedly sounds to every Westerner who rolls their eyes at the phrase, “the Islamisation of Europe” — the fact is that migration patterns and high birthrates have combined to turn Islam into Europe’s fastest-growing religion.”
Why does this increase in Britain’s Muslim population have people worried, given that Britain officially prizes the principles of multiculturalism and diversity?
Weiss suggests three reasons:
- A wide cultural gap. Instead of becoming part of British culture, Muslims are creating their own subculture that is often in conflict with British law.
- Muslim extremism is hitting Britons where they are vulnerable, such as their schools (heard of the Trojan Horse Plot?) or population (citizens who openly support terrorist groups like ISIS).
- British law has allowed this anti-British subculture to flourish without offering an attractive alternative.
The author seems to downplay the general fear that Britain has of Muslims, but ends the article ominously asking what the next 25 years of jihad will look like.

I was expecting Christian Voice to come out with some robust response to the dreadful events in Paris. Instead, you almost complain that “Killings perpetrated by Muslims are plastered all over the internet”. Of course they are ! But this is hardly something you could hush up, and it is NOT just all over the internet. Radio, television and newspapers still report news, and this is very serious news indeed .
It isn’t good for Muslims, and one wonders what the perpetrators hoped to achieve. They will obviously have tended to alienate cartoonists, comedians and journalists, along with the many people they influence, against their views, not least many Muslims in the street, who will be wondering if Allah is so akbar after all. It is extremely interesting that these men have gone against recent tradition and not made this a suicide attack. At the time of writing, when they have not been apprehended but are somewhere in a forest surrounded by police and reporters, one wonders if they are planning a well-organised final showdown in the hope of killing as many policemen and journalists as possible. If I was a journalist, this is not a story I would want to be covering there.
Good blog! We’ve written a blog on the same subject – http://www.thetruthofjudgmentday.com/2015/01/the-rise-of-islamization-in-britain. 25 years is a long time frame, we could see events escalating in the UK much sooner. Attacks in France might be the starting gun for similar attacks across Europe. Maranatha!
When you say “we could see events escalating in the UK”, presumably you are in America. This is a British website, and what Stanley Weiss “reveals” to us is not news at all. The Charlie Hebdo attack in Paris on the day before this posting (on 7th Jan) was far, far more important). However, as anyone might have predicted, it has turned out to be extremely counter-productive for extreme Islam, if they thought it was going to prevent freedom of the press or win them sympathisers. A cartoon in the latest Charlie Hebdo has a group of clerics from various religions (including one unidentified branch of Islam itself) labelled “New friends”.
The fear that Muslims have larger families than others should be tempered by two facts.
Firstly, high (and low) birth rates in immigrant communities tend to revert to the average as the groups involved become more comfortable in their new home.
Secondly, many people from an Islamic background quietly walk away from their faith. In that, Islam is rather like other religious communities. There are some who convert to Christianity, but more become secular.
Certainly, radical Islam needs to be countered, and this is already happening. Slavery and female genital mutilation, both common in some Muslim countries, are increasingly rejected by Muslim scholars. Muslim leaders are also distancing themselves from the violence of the extremists. People of good will, whether, Christian, Jewish, Muslim or secular, will soon find they have much more in common than they had thought, for radical Islam is a threat to all of them.
In the face of this threat, perhaps the best response to radical Islam is a reaffirmation of the values that people of good will have in common.
Firstly, younger Muslims do not appear to be becoming more comfortable either here or in Australia, where you live.. Quite the opposite.
Secondly, the penalty for apostasy is death. That is why Muslim converts to Christianity generally keep it quiet. But it also means so many miss out on fellowship and so cannot have their faith deepened and encouraged.
Thank God the international pressure on FGM is bearing fruit. But as for ‘Muslim leaders are also distancing themselves from the violence of the extremists’, I haven’t spotted any of any significance. Who are they?
As for the New Age idea that ‘people of good will’ are going to come together and solve all the world’s problems, dream on.
Here’s a scripture for you:
Philippians 2:8 And being found in fashion as a man, he (Jesus) humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. 9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
I have seen how people distance themselves from Islam: Muslims marrying non-Muslims and then living a secular lifestyle. Of course it doesn’t always happen that way, but it does happen.
Even in the Muslim world there was widespread condemnation of the Charlie Hebdo killings, even though there was sharp criticism of the republishing of the cartoons. Muslim leaders are speaking out against the radicalisation of Muslim youth. This is of great concern to many Muslim parents.
It is most important to remember that Muslims have a range of views. By no means all are extremists, or believe that those who reject Islam should be put to death. Yes, there is a worrying trend in Britain for younger Muslims to be more fervent in their beliefs than older Muslims, but even among younger Muslims there are many who reject problematic views. I think this document is worth reading: http://www.policyexchange.org.uk/images/publications/living%20apart%20together%20-%20jan%2007.pdf
I’m surprised that you refer to the idea of people of good will as a New Age idea. It’s a matter of fact that there are good and bad in every community.
Again Michael, you haven’t actually quoted a single Muslim leader who condemned the killings.
In February 2006, an ICM opinion poll found 4 out of 10 British Muslims want sharia introduced into parts of the country. 20% had sympathy with the “feelings and motives” of the suicide bombers who attacked London on 7th July 2005, although 99% thought the bombers were wrong to carry out the atrocity. Just 91% said they feel loyal to Britain.
One year later, in January 2007, a survey of 1,003 Muslims by the polling company Populus revealed nearly 60% who would prefer to live under British law. 37% of 16 to 24-year-olds said they would prefer sharia law, against 17% of those over 55. 86% said their religion was the most important thing in their lives and nearly a third of 16 to 24-year-olds believed that those converting to another religion should be executed. Less than a fifth of those over 55 believed the same.
In December 2010, Wikileaks revealed a survey showing that 32% of young British academic Muslims favour killing in the name of Islam, and 40% want Muslims in the UK to be under Islamic law. The questions were asked of 600 bright, intelligent young Muslims at 30 universities throughout Britain.
Attitudes among Muslims are hardening. In the “Six Country Immigrant Integration Comparative Survey“, which was funded by the German government and published in December 2013, 65% of the Muslims interviewed said Islamic law was more important to them than the laws of the country in which they live. 75% of the respondents held the opinion that there is only one legitimate interpretation of the Koran, which should apply to all Muslims, and nearly 60% of Muslims said their community should return to “Islamic roots.”
Oh, and according to the New Age body and accredited UN NGO the Lucis Trust: ‘World Goodwill is an organised movement founded in 1932 to help establish right human relations and solve humanity’s problems through the constructive power of goodwill.’
In the New Age which began approximately 1 AD, weren’t the angels supposed to have sung something about peace and goodwill ?
No, it’s a buzz word in New Age circles. Look up the Lucis Trust and see. And a fat lot of good their ‘goodwill’ did fewer than ten years after they started.
Stephen, here is one report of Muslim leaders condemning the latest outrage:

Evidence of Muslim leaders condemning the Charlie Hebdo killings can be found in this link:

Your posting above corroborates what I said about a range of Muslim opinions and, yes, I agree that it appears that attitudes are hardening. However, i don’t think that the New Age movement has a monopoly on good will. After all, this very phrase is used in Luke 2:14,
It is one thing to be concerned about Muslim attitudes and quite another thing to demonise them.
Well,I tend to agree with you Michael, I seem to remember not for the first time.
The latest Charlie Hebdo has a wonderful cartoon whose caption will not offend anybody who does not understand French, so I think I am safe from the local Imam who has been demonstrating against it and helped to stop having it sold in this city (although one Muslim newsagent ordered 500 copies, which he had to cancel as a result of threats). Incidentally, it was obtainable under the counter in villages surrounding the city —- this is almost like a sort of English resistance movement ! There is quite a realistic picture, in silhouette, of a Muslim preacher against the background of a mosque interior, and the words “L’État Islamique menace d’exciser quatre millions de femmes entre 11 et 46 ans. ‘Pour ça aussi nous allons faire appel à des volontaires étrangers’ ”
Another cartoon is headed “Nigeria. Boko Haram massacre 16 village”. (Note that this is English-speaking Nigeria, not French-speaking Niger) In front of a devastated village, one soldier is saying to another ” 2000 abonnés que Charlie n’aura pas”. [ abonnés = subscribers, or regular readers . I must leave “exciser” to your imaginations ]
The stench of takkiyah is overwhelming, particularly at the BBC. It is as if our nation has lost the will to live.
If thou seest the oppression of the poor, and violent perverting of judgment and justice in a province, marvel not at the matter; for he that is higher than the highest, regardeth, and there be higher than they” (Eccl 5:8
