Oh for sure, but the difference is that Muslims don't represent a threat to government in their current numbers. They also generally vote to the left, and the left are the useful idiots of the elites.
Yes and no. Yes, in that the Left have relied on the Muslim vote in a whole variety of ways although we also need to take into account that Labour actually lost seats to Islamic independents based on what is happening in Gaza. Their support is not unconditional.
One thing I think we on the Right are missing is that for all this talk of a multicultural society and integration, the actual strength of the Muslim vote is that in large part it refuses to integrate. It remains a specific and definable culture in its own right. Its entire sense of 'otherness' is what garners it the respect from the Left despite the seeming contradictions (many Islamic beliefs on a range of issues are far beyond what many of us on the Far-Right support in terms of feminism, apostasy and homosexuality).
Now you could argue that because of the ability of certain Muslim communities to arrange block-postal voting and so on, the Left over-look this by way of seeking electoral advantage, which they do/have, but there still remains the fact that essentially the Left are scared of them. Fearful of upsetting them because they present a united front.
Which the Far-Right needs to start emulating.
If there is a sliver of hope from what is happening due to the reaction of the Establishment to the 'white-riots' it is that their OTT response is actually a sign of an inherent weakness. Plus it serves as a reminder that at this stage of history, our fight is not on the streets. What matters is that it has served as a wake-up call to many many hundreds of thousands, possibly millions, of people about the double standards it has exposed. This is what needs to be seized upon. Spoken about. Discussed.
Does any reasonable person support a retired train driver taking part in a violent street protest? Then no. But does any reasonable person accept that the same system that imposes a custodial sentence on him then allows nonces to walk free after they have been found guilty of knowingly downloading videos of little kids being raped on their computers is a fair one? Then most certainly not. This is the reality we need to make the most of.
Because when far more effective and civil forms of protests start to emerge, people will be more likely to engage if they see the system as inherently biased against them.
We can learn a lot from the example of the Muslim community in the UK. They offer us a blue-print for how we might have to shape our own futures. They are not our friends but they are also not our primary enemy, at least on a national level. It is the Left we need to defeat if we are to have any hope for our children and grandchildren.
