My fears about Reform are coming true

The candidacy of Laila Cunningham for London Mayor has brought up my fears about Reform from a while back. I expressed these concerns a long time ago.

A little video of my thoughts I made last year encapsulates it:

Now, I do not have much of an issue with Laila herself. I think she is bright, sharp, intelligent, and articulate. So, I want to make it clear I do not have much of an issue with her, but I have an issue with the identity politics that Reform is playing on her back. They are using her identity as a Muslim to wave off attacks from the perceived far-right and gain sympathy from the liberal and immigrant class in London to gain electoral success there due to the demographic changes in the capital done over few decades.

Is that a good political strategy? Probably, yes. Is it a short term strategy? Definitely, yes. Is it principled and moral? Clearly, not. Is this what the country needs when it is trying to revive its soul? Well, you know the answer to that already. Absolutely, No.

Personally, I do not have an issue with her mixed ethnicity but more with the ideology she is associating with to win elections. Although a strong case be made that only the ethnically British, partial or full, should be able to stand for public office. I think it a valid argument to make and it needs to be discussed and debated. I am not too focused on it, at the very least I would at least want the candidates to be at least born here or have some ancestorial links. For example in case of someone like Ben Habib, his mother being English, gives him that required connection. But I know arguments can be made about it on all sides. I am not in favour of blocking these arguments because they have validity whichever way you look at them.

One of the examples, and I think it is a valid argument. Maybe The Act of Settlement 1701 needs to be restored and British Nationality Acts of 1948 and 1981 need to be abolished or amended at least. And some might say, ha but it says dominions which means non-native people were able to stand for parliament. Yes, while their countries were part of the dominion of British Empire. Now, that it is not the case anymore, as those countries has gain independence, the association is broken and they are no longer part of the dominion. So, there is no need or sense, in giving them representation within your parliament and expecting them to be as concerned about native issues as the natives.

A few years ago, she was seen as promoting trans ideology at a pride event. And now she is claiming her Muslim identity. While belonging to neither of them. This grifter unprincipled energy is the true embodiment of Farage’s Reform. This concerns me more than anything. Maybe she has changed her mind, she has learned and evolved, I don’t know her personally so I can’t comment on it. But overall, it doesn’t really give me confidence, when Reform are using her Muslim identity like they are and she is letting them use it for this purpose.

I feared that under the leadership of Farage, Reform will be nothing more than a liberal project dressed in conservative clothing, much like Tories. But increasingly they are become more Liberal Democrats - the true home of the majority of current Tories. Farage seems bereft of any principled morality and is clearly not thinking beyond winning the next elections. This is why he keeps pandering to the Muslim voters, how long before he progresses from a Liberal Democrat to a Blairite Labour in this regard?

The liberal elite, which Farage is or wants to be a part of, has sold Britain to Islam a long time ago. They have got this idea in their head that there is such a thing as British Islam and that they can pave a way for it to be established. From the King to the metropolitan banker and newspaper editor. They have fooled themselves into believing a reality that doesn’t exist.

There is no such thing as "British Islam". Regardless of the personalities involved. If one eats non-halal food, if one drinks alcohol, if one doesn't observe the five pillars of Islam - then they are not a Muslim but instead a Munafiq in the eyes of Islam.

That "version" of Islam which is neither mainstream and can never be mainstream, is the path of the Munafiq in Islam. And Munafiqs are considered worse than infidels to Allah. A people that Allah would never forgive. Who know the way to live by Islam but refuse to follow it. It is in the Quran, black and white, in Surah al-Munafiqeen.

Reforming Islam is a pipe-dream, a fantasy, a pointless exercise. These sort of gimmicks will work in temporarily to win the elections but once the demographic changes more, and their numbers grow more, they will show everyone the real Islam.

Below is a good retort by Pete North to Adrian Hilton assertion to “British Islam” and Laila being an embodiment of it:

He is absolutely right. It shows the hypocrisy of the liberals. They live in well off areas sheltered from the realities which working classes have to face. They have a few immigrant and Muslim friends, who also live in wealthy areas, integrated into a Western way of life. A globalist liberal way of life - without a strong sense of belonging to anywhere in particular. But they are not a representation of the people they loosely associate with or wear the skinsuit of when appropriate and beneficial. So, basing your view of the outsider on someone who has barely anything in common with the outsider culture is a huge mistake. I include myself in it. You cannot base your view of people from South Asia on me - good or bad. Things that are obvious for some reason seem very elusive to the liberals.

You can dress it up as anti-Muslim or Islamophobia or whatever term. The fact remains that it is an ideology that is against Western way of life. Just because some people who associate with it deliberately don't follow it doesn't mean it is a good or valid ideology. Please get to grips with the actual Islam and not take second hand knowledge from the munafiqs (people who say they follow Islam but ignore Allah's commands) within their ranks. They are not the holders of the religion, they don't know their religion, they are not the ones leading the prayers in mosques or giving sermons, they have no influence over it. Understand why opposing Islam should be done on principle.

As I have said before, I have nothing against Laila, I like her as a person. But we need to stop playing this moderate Muslim game. People like Laila should actually be encouraged to face the reality of Islam, what associating yourself with that ideology means, and create pathways for her to leave Islam otherwise do not stand for public office. If you cannot even be true to yourself how can we expect you to be true to your constituents.

If you want to know about the punishment of apostacy in Islam, you can read the post below. This also explains why most so-called moderate muslims become munafiqs within the theological sense but still maintain their Islamic association because cutting off completely from it means risking the cutting off of your head. And if you are wealthy and have influence, real Muslims won’t really focus much on you not observing Islam as long as you still associate with it, and they know they can call upon you when needed.

I knew this was going to happen when Zia Yusuf got into the party. It is a tactic being used to make sure we don’t have racial and faith based conflicts, and we can all live in peace and harmony. We all want the same thing. Everyone is as British as the next globalist liberal. But this attempt to whitewash reality will actually lead to the worst kind of conflicts.

I can understand it might be a good tactic politically because of the demographic change in London. But you are depending on foreigners to be saviours of your identity while hating on your own when do play this tactic. I am saying this as a foreigner. This is a huge mistake to make. People who are not inherently yours will never have your full interest. Why are you depending on them to save you? You are losing your own claim to the country, the native claim to their own country, when you do it.

Yes, in this environment, where the public is not politically astute, and not so well informed, you will win the next election. But at what cost? What will you victory mean? Re-establishing the liberal elite order? Divorcing the claims of the natives to their lands, culture, and people? Economically viable but culturally lost? A modern day America but with even worse demographic issues, a stronger Islamic presence, no way to defend or protect yourself, and on a path to complete loss of identity. What future is Reform projecting at the moment? But they are our only hope you say - hope for what? What is this hope that ends up in your being more hopeless than before? They are better than Tories and Labour you say - no, I think they are even worse because they pretend to be anti-establishment while aiming to maintain the old establishment’s order and mentality. All they are trying to do is be better Blairite than Tony Blair and his successors.

Stop this madness. And reclaim your nation before she is violated beyond recognition. Do not squander your inheritance. Do not let these chancers take away from you this divine providence. Do not let them make your blood less relevant to the soil it bleeds for. Otherwise, all will be lost.

"For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?" - Matthew 16:26
