I have been pondering this a lot over the last few months. In some ways I feel it's like fringe political parties; when there's no way they'll ever get near power, nobody really knows who they are, who they represent, what they stand for, etc. Just a few rumblings and moans and insults (for example, see "swivel-eyed loons").

But if they ever get near power and the danger bells start to ring, suddenly it's forensics and microscopes, picking at them mercilessly.

So, there's already quite a lot of Christian apologetics people and Islam polemicists starting to dig into things that are not well-known by most Westerners. Islam trying to colonise the West might end up like Icarus, gettting badly burned.

For example, their notion of a single eternal never-changing Koran was blown up in 2016, when a couple of the polemics folks turned up at Speaker's Corner with 26 different translations!

Ironically, to ward off islamism, it might be necessary for a large number of people to become fairly expert in historical aspects of Islam. Some of the ex-muslims are really good in this aspect, esp people like St Murad and the Apostate Prophet. (Also Christian Prince, but I don't know whether he's an ex-muslim or not.)

Here's a quick video (from a channel worth keeping an eye on) explaining some of the Koran multiple translations thing I mentioned above. (Apparently there's something like 37 versions and counting, now.)

Excellent article Pete. You and Matt Goodwin are the only people brave enough to talk about this subject. Even Farage talks only in vague terms about radical Islam. We need the Tories to grow some balls and appoint Jenrick or Braverman (my preference is Jenrick) and then work with Farage and Ben Habib who has no fear of speaking the truth. They need to listen to you and Goodwin too.
