There is a children’s story, written by American author Mary Mapes Doge in 1865, about a little Dutch boy who saves his village from disastrous flooding by plugging a hole in the dike that protects the village with his finger. Recently the Conservative MP Nick Timothy did the exact opposite to that and pulled his finger out of the Establishment’s dike of dishonesty regarding the ideology of Islam by speaking the truth about the increasingly aggressive and supremacist behaviour of some British Muslims. What Mr Timothy has done is not destructive like the flood in the Little Dutch Boy story, instead what he has released is a positive flood of honesty about Britain and its relationship with the ideology of Islam. He has also, maybe inadvertently, also revealed, in a much more public manner than we have seen before, the willingness of the Establishment to pander to Islam in what many might perceive as an alarming and indeed totalitarian manner.

Here’s what Mr Timothy said:

Mr Timothy is correct to call the Adhan prayer one of domination. It’s saying my path, my belief is the only one that should be permitted and they are doing it in public. Lots of religions or sects within religions would like their deity to be the one and only and they have prayers regarding that, but they say these prayers in private or within religious buildings. Christians and Jews respectively pray for the return of Jesus or the coming of the Moshiach but the followers of these faiths mostly keep these prayers to the home or the church or the synagogue. This is not the case with Islam. Some Muslims believe that they should declare that there is no god but Allah and Mohammed was his prophet publicly and in a manner that disturbs the people and they do so to show dominance of a particular geographical area in this case Trafalgar Square. They also do it at so-called ‘anti war’ demonstrations, at rallies in support of the Ayatollahs in Iran and at marches dedicated to the destruction of the world’s only Jewish majority state. It’s intimidatory and appears designed to be so and is seemingly increasingly being used as such.

I agree with Mr Timothy that because of the use of the Adhan to express spiritual and geographic dominance that it should have no place in our public places. It shouldn’t be in Trafalgar Square nor Parliament Square nor in any of London’s great and magnificent parks, in fact this sort of mass prayer for the expression of power shouldn’t be in any public space. I also agree that theologically this prayer also has no place in Churches and also, I would like to add, no place in synagogues either because of the declaration of supremacy that the Adhan expresses.

Mr Timothy’s statement appears to have struck a positive note with the public at least from what I’m seeing online. Just looking at the X platform and even taking into account the centre-right bias of what I see on that platform, it appears that Mr Timothy’s statement was popular with the British public. Some sort of measure of Mr Timothy’s statement’s popularity with the public may well shown by just how many Labour MP’s who criticised Mr Timothy, possibly on the instruction of the Party management, quickly blocked the public from replying on their statements. From what I could see of the interactions between the public and Labour MP’s prior to the MP’s shutting down replies, they were highly supportive of Mr Timothy and highly critical of those who were countering Mr Timothy’s statement.

Mr Timothy’s statement of what to many of us is very obvious, which is that we have a problem with aggressive Islam, kicked off a massive pushback from the Establishment. Labour MP’s turned out en masse to denounce Mr Timothy along with those elements from the Tory party such as Gavin Barwell piped up with whines about ‘Islamophobia’. Real life ‘Wormtongues’ such as Labour’s Islamic Mayor of Greater London Sadiq Khan also stuck his oar in to to denounce Mr Timothy as did the Islamist leaning ‘Gaza Independents’. The Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer also called on the Tory party leader Kemi Badenoch to sack Mr Timothy for the heinous crime of noticing that some of Britain’s Muslims might be a little incompatible with British life.

It is clear that because of the Establishment flak Mr Timothy is getting then he must be right over the target with his criticisms of the behaviour of Muslims with their intimidatory public prayer. It’s also clear that there is a split between the views of the Establishment and the views of ordinary people on the subject of Islam. The Establishment have come out on the side of Muslims engaging in intimidatory and supremacist public prayer whilst ordinary people have come out against this sort of behaviour.

So far Mr Timothy has at the time of writing refused to kow tow to the motley collection of Muslims playing the ‘offended’ card and the Islamopandering politicians. I hope that both he and his party can resist these calls for sanction Mr Timothy for voicing an opinion that appears to be very very popular with the British public.

Mr Timothy has done us all a favour. He’s stepped up and told the truth about an aspect of Islam that bothers British people and equally importantly he’s revealed, maybe unintentionally, the enormous amount of Islamopandering that goes on in British politics and administration. Politicians and administrators who have said the square root of sod all about serious Islam related problems such as the Islamic Rape Gangs or Islamic Jew hatred or Islamic religious extremism have queued up in their droves to denounce Mr Timothy’s act of truth telling. Mr Timothy has also exposed the lie told by the Government that new ‘anti Muslim hatred’ laws will not adversely affect freedom of speech as even before this disgraceful bit of legislation hits the statute books, the political classes as using Muslims whines about being ‘offended’ as a cudgel to shut down critics of Islam such as Mr Timothy.

Mr Timothy has let a trickle of truth come out from the dam of lies about Islam and we must hope that what is now a trickle becomes a flood of honesty about the excesses of an ideology that threatens both non-Muslims and those Muslims who reject extremism and supremacism alike. Mr Timothy has started the flow of honesty about Islam now others need to amplify those voices that oppose Islam and turn it into a tsunami of truth telling about an ideology that poses a clear and present danger to Britain, Britons and British culture.
