It baffles me why people feel it’s compulsory to pander to the Islamic lobby.
I get that people worry about being called a “racist” even though Islam is not a race.
But firstly, grow a pair, and secondly, our forefathers didn’t fight and die to repel fascistic ideologies, making a more prosperous and equal society for everyone, just for us to hand it over to a bunch of child marrying, beheading experts, who get all murder-ey if you draw a cartoon of their sky wizard, for fear of being called “Islamophobic.”
If you don’t like western civilised democracy, I’ve got a one way ticket to whichever failed Islamic state you fled from.
As Britons, we should remember who we are.
And most importantly, on this day of all days, we shouldn’t apologise for it.
We should celebrate it.
And be deeply grateful for the horrors they endured for the beautiful freedom we must never give away.
