Elephant in the room - with a trunk full of Semtex

Michelle Ramsden’s brain fell victim to a dangerous disease in 2007. It was not bovine spongiform encephalopathy. It was not meningitis. Michelle was infected by Islam, when she was 24 years old - an impressionable young adult, groomed unwittingly by a Muslim family whose intentions were, I have no doubt, wholesome and benign.

Michelle changed her name to Safiyya Amira Shaikh. Taking an Arabic name is part of conversion to Islam. The radicalisation timer began ticking. By late 2019, Safiyya was sharing details of a credible plot to blow up St Paul’s Cathedral, including her intention to kill as many kuffar (non-Muslims) as possible. Unknown to her, the ‘brother’ with whom she shared her plans was an undercover police officer, assigned to her case after she had come up on MI5’s radar.

Sentencing Safiyya in July 2020, Mr Justice Sweeney deemed her a self-evident danger to the public, adding that there was no telling when she would be safe to be released.

His Honour misses the point, by a wide margin. I sincerely hope he privately agrees with what I am about to suggest, prevented, as he is, by politically correct protocol from saying as much. Though that is not a happy state of affairs, as I shall point out.

The danger to the public is Islam itself. It spreads from brain to brain, faster then ever, thanks to twenty-first century skills and technology. If you doubt that, and you think I’m being unfair to the innocent adherents of a noble faith, think on this. Why is that that fundamentalist extremists, plotting and carrying out murderous attacks, are almost exclusively Muslim? Their targets - the kuffar - are identifiable by being outside the belief system of Islam. It is no use arguing that most Muslims do not plan or commit homicidal atrocities. Most drivers who are over the legal blood alcohol limit do not cause fatal accidents. However, all of the drunk drivers who do kill and maim, destroying or ruining countless lives, are drawn from the larger reservoir of all drunk drivers. Reduce the size of that pool - to zero if you can - and you lessen the chance of people getting killed.

If I argue that removing my right to drink beer and drive my car is a threat to my civil liberty, I’ll be quickly shouted down, and rightly so. My civil liberty is too expensive a luxury, when the price is counted in lives lost, in alcohol-related road accidents.

I assert that Islam is a similarly - and vastly more - expensive luxury than that. People do not die if they fail to pray five times a day. No-one would dream of blowing their life’s savings on a pilgrimage to Mecca to throw stones at a rock, was the idea not inculcated at an early age, through the verbally handed-down beliefs of parents. No-one would choose to starve themselves throughout daylight hours for a month, were such a ridiculous act not mandated by the authority of Islam. And no-one would seek to become a martyr in the name of Islam, if they had never heard of the whole sorry tale, and had no reason to suppose that blowing yourself to pieces leads to anything but oblivion, with no tempting reward of six dozen virgin brides, rivers of milk and honey, nor any other free gift.

If you still doubt that Islam is the cause of the problem, ask yourself how many atrocities committed by non-Muslim suicide bombers we see in daily press reports. Yes, I know the tactic of suicide bombing was first popularised by the Tamils in Sri Lanka, who are obviously not Muslims. But since the days of their rebellion, and now that the strategy has been plagiarised by the devotees of Islam, how many secular suicide attacks have there been? Every time a young hothead blows him or herself to kingdom come, we are able correctly to guess their religion, before we have even read the details.

We bend over backward to respect beliefs and faiths that are not our own. We protect the right of believers to state, without ridicule, that Mohamed ascended to heaven on the back of a winged horse, and Jesus was born of a virgin without the intervention of a sperm-providing man, when we know that both those things are scientifically not possible. Why do we do that? Because believers claim that it hurts them when their assertions are called into question.

Well, I’m afraid that’s just bad luck. Negative feedback may well hurt, but we still need to hear it. When my boss analyses my performance at work, pointing out where I haven’t done well and need to improve, I don’t enjoy it while he’s saying it. I could even claim it hurts. But that doesn’t mean he should not say it. Truth matters.

So stop whining, Muslims and your apologists. Your religion is outdated, of no use to society, and an urgent threat to the safety of civilisation. What might happen, should one of these ardent young trainee martyrs gain access to a weapon of mass destruction?

Islam could be gone in a generation, were educators allowed to do their job properly, encourage healthy scepticism, and call it out for the tissue of shallow lies that it is.

The time to act is now, while those infected by the Islam pandemic are still a minority. Don’t be afraid to speak out. Bawl your head off, before they cut it off. Seriously, they cannot behead us all. Shout it from the rooftops. Islam is false, along with Christianity, Judaism and all the other mumbo-jumbo spouted from the mouths and texts of those who promulgate popular religion. Call out the elephant in the room, and consign it to its rightful place, while we still can.
