The U.S. Needs to Learn from Britain's Mistakes on Islamization and Immigration

H/T Romneyman

If Americans do not learn the lessons from across the pond on immigration and Islamization, they may soon be regretfully dealing with the same consequences as Britain. 

On Breitbart News Sunday on Sirius XM Patriot channel 125 with Breitbart News Executive Chairman and host Stephen K. Bannon, Raheem Kassam, the founder of Trending Central, one of the UK's fastest-growing conservative news sites, called into the show from England and spoke from experience on both issues.

Kassam, whose writings Bannon said Breitbart.com readers would see a lot more of in the coming year, is a staunch conservative and no moderate when it comes to politics; however, he urged moderate Muslims in Britain to start standing up to the extremists. He called out the British government and the press as well for not doing so. 

Kassam said Islamists have run sex gangs and advocated the beheading of soldiers while "pretending to represent a majority of British Muslims," but the nation does not have "moderate British Muslims speaking up against extremists."

He also noted that Islamists are making major inroads at "the university level and people are afraid to confront that," and because the moderates are silent, it is easier for politicians to "stir up anti-Muslim" sentiment. 

Describing his personal background, Kassam said he was raised in a "in a liberal sect of Islam in a Muslim family," so he was not privy to the strict and fundamentalist aspects of Islam. Nevertheless, he has seen threats come in "thick and fast" against moderates who dare challenge the Islamists.

He said that for many moderate Muslims in England it is "highly inconvenient to be called 'Uncle Tom,'" and he noted that he himself is considered an "apostate." He adds that the "penalty for apostasy is death by the strictest definition" of Islam. Still, Kassam said it will be essential for moderate Muslims and British citizens to not let Islamists hijack the religion and culture. 

When it came to immigration, Kassam noted how wrong the British government under Tony Blair and Jack Straw was when it loosened immigration laws, expecting net migration to Britain from Eastern Europe would be about 13,000 people per year. Kassam said that they merely "got it wrong by a factor of ten," as more than 130,000 people a year have come into Britain.
