No Suella Braverman, Islamists do not control Britain
Suella Braverman, Britain’s ex-home Secretary, has claimed that the Britain is losing its identity as a beacon of peaceful coexistence among diverse faiths and races, as Islamists and extremists are gaining influence in the country. However, reality is polar opposite.
She made these remarks in ‘The Daily Telegraph’ on Friday in response to the chaos in the House of Commons regarding a vote on the Israel-Gaza conflict earlier this week.
For context, UK had abstained from the resolution seeking a ceasefire in Gaza which was upsetting for a lot of members of the house. A resolution that was intended to stop the bloodshed of Palestinians, was halted by US in the UN session, and UK also played its part by abstaining from the vote.
In a house full of more than 600 seats, members have a diverse range of opinions. Some stand by Gaza, some by Israel, meanwhile, some by both. However, the policies of UK are directed to serve the interests of only one group, the Pro-Israel block. Yet Suella decided to claim that Britain is being controlled by Islamists.
“The truth is that the Islamists, the extremists and the anti-Semites are in charge now,” she wrote. The Islamists that she referred to be in control, are unable to sway the UK into voting for a ceasefire and call off the war that has been going on for 5 months, 5 MONTHS. These “powerful Islamists” who apparently control UK have not only been unable to secure basic aid for injured and displaced Palestinians, but also could not stop Israel from arresting Palestinians in West bank, an area that has nothing to do with Hamas. So, how exactly are they exerting control over the UK?
Imagine suggesting that a group is “hijacking” a nation solely because it is engaging in protests. Protest is the weakest form of control. In fact, if you have power, why would you even protest?

Do Zio lobbies have to protest for anything in UK? No. Whatever they want, they get it done on a phone call. They know that Rishi is probably more Pro-Israel than they themselves. And no matter how many members in British parliament call for a ceasefire, the final vote will be in favor of Israel anyway.
In a liberal country like Britain, it is everyone’s right to have an opinion and stand by it. However, the people she demonized in her article are the ones deprived of it. She is in complete denial that if you support Israel, you can stand firmly behind it.
But if you support its victim (the Palestinians), you are a terrorist apologist who needs to be deported to some oppressed muslim country. You will be confronted, hated, sacked, arrested, or even deported for this opinion. After all, how dare you call for a ceasefire?
“It’s not Islamophobic to challenge Islamist fanatics; it’s a civic duty” she wrote in the article. She is unapologetically Islamophobic but whoever calls out Israel is an anti-Semite to her.
Ironically, she expressed fear in her article that Britain is becoming a “ghettoised society where free expression and British values are diluted”, though it was her who wanted to punish people even for carrying a Palestinian flag.
Long story short, UK is not governed or influenced by Muslims. It is influenced by Zionist lobbies. There is not rocket science to understand this and Suella knows it too. The question is, why give such an opinion when it is crystal clear who is defining the policies of UK and who is benefiting from them the most?
Suella and her like minded fellows instigate a fear of muslims among the masses of UK. They give an impression that muslims are getting stronger each day in the country and soon it will be taken over by them. Soon, UK will not be United Kingdom anymore and will become an Islamic theocracy in the form of Islamic Kingdom, where there will be no space for rest of them.
Their favorite word is Shariah law that they often use to generate this irrational fear, which she used in her article as well in the same context.
It is ironic that she wants the patriotic British people to fight muslim immigrants before “they occupy UK and deprive them from all its liberties”, meanwhile, she is supporting the illegal Israeli immigrants that already did that to the Palestinians, in fact worse. Wow!
