CAN Australians soon expect a Moslem Labor Party member to become the mayor of either Sydney or Melbourne or Brisbane city councils?
Sadiq Kahn, the British-born Pakistani Sunni Moslem, was first elected Mayor of London in 2016 and after winning two more elections is now the city’s longest-serving mayor.
Kahn studied law and practised as a solicitor before joining the Labour Party. After a term in council politics he was elected to Parliament at the 2005 general election. Kahn became chairman of the Fabian Society and rose up through the ranks of successive Blair and Brown Labor governments to become Minister of State for Transport and Minister for London.
In 2008, the Fabian Society published Khan’s book, “Fairness Not Favours” in which he argued that the Labour Party had to reconnect with British Muslims because they had lost their trust as a result of the Iraq War. He also said British Muslims needed to reconnect with politicians and rid themselves of a victim mentality and take greater responsibility for their own community.
So Kahn became both the leftist Labor insider while peddling the image of the “moderate Muslim”. In December 2015, before his election to mayor, during the Cameron Conservative government Khan voted against the government’s plans to expand the bombing of targets in the Islamic State, cementing his leftist image and pitching at the ever-growing Muslim vote.
Following successive waves of immigration, the 2021 census from the UK Office for National Statistics revealed that Muslims in London had risen to 15% of the population, making Islam the second largest religion in the city after Christianity.
We can be assured that Kahn and his Fabian Society were well aware of this trend. Fabians are committed to radical social change by gradual administrative means and the end of a once predominantly white Briton-Christian City of London was in sight with the favoured progressive-globalist, polyglot-multicultural society emerging rapidly.
This is Fabian policy, EU/UN policy and Australian Labor Party policy – at least what they call the left of the ALP. But it has also been pushed by the “small L” faction of the Liberal Party going back to Malcolm Fraser and others like Malcolm Turnbull.
The question is, were these “progressives” and liberals aware of the political, totalitarian nature of Islam, or were they just seen as a future voting base of immigrants who could be easily be captured by the idea that Labor is the party that gives you the “free money” for your multiple wives and children.
This is certainly what is in the minds of Anthony Albanese and Tony Burke, who sat down shoeless with the Muslims at the Lakemba Mosque in Western Sydney recently for Eid al Fitr, a three-day celebration of end of Ramadan, the month of fasting.
English nationalists noted that Keir Starmer and Kahn publicly participated in these events, including, in Kahn’s case, mass public prayer on the streets and squares. They also noted that Starmer, while finding time to promote Ramadan, never once mentioned Lent or Easter.
And now Kahn, because of the growing nationalist backlash led by the likes of Tommy Robinson and UKIP leader Nick Tenconi, is going public in his whining, sad-faced manner, claiming that Moslems in the UK and indeed across the world are the victims of growing persecution.
A video featuring Kahn airing his defence of “persecuted Moslems” (above) is contrasted to an incident in the UK where someone who publicly burns a copy of the Koran as a protest is attacked by an enraged, middle-aged Muslim man who pulls a knife, spits on him and kicks him on the ground after the panicked protester falls on to the street. This is my religion, the Muslim screams, waving the burnt Koran.
Britons are also alarmed by the rise in urban violence by various gangs, often immigrants, who in Birmingham recently, randomly attacked cars in the streets with batons while people watched idly from footpaths, hands in pockets.
Kahn’s disingenuous whining is simply underscoring his and Starmer’s “solution” to rising nationalist sentiment – legislated totalitarian controls on speech and political dissent in the name of “combating racist hate”. Albanese and the Australian state premiers are blindly following suit.
The other minority group playing this game is of course the Jewish lobby, who in the Australian and European contexts are long-time supporters of “tolerance” and “multiculturalism” but now find themselves the victims of various acts of violence, apparently committed by radical Moslems.
These wealthy and highly influential Jews have now managed to almost make “anti-semitism” a crime as part of so-called “anti-hate speech” laws. In Europe, decades ago, they turned historical revisionism in relation to the holocaust into a crime.
So, we ask, are the western leftist/progressive political parties willing to impose a new kind of dictatorship to stamp out nationalist sentiment? Apparently so. But will they, if Moslem immigration and high birth rates persist, find themselves under the heel of militant Islamic political forces of the same kind that decimated the Iranian leftists who overthrew the Shah and his royal family?
