The UK Prime Minister gave a speech this week in which he compared Islamic extremists to the “far right.”
And that's where we are in London.
Rishi Sunak: Islamic extremists and the far right feed and encourage each other. They are equally desperate to pretend that their violence is somehow justified, when in fact these groups are two sides of the same extremist coin. For neither group, except that change in our country, can only come through the peaceful democratic process. They both hate the modern pluralistic state that we are.
They both want to pit Britain against Britain, to use the evils of anti-Semitism and hatred against Muslims as a weapon to achieve their own goals. The doctrine of Islam peacefully practiced by millions of our citizens is certainly not the same as the extreme political ideology of Islamism, which aims to separate Muslims from the rest of society. Islamic extremists and far-right groups are spreading poison. This poison is extremism. It aims to drain our confidence in ourselves as a people and in our common future.
They want us to doubt ourselves, doubt each other, and doubt our country's history and achievements. They want us to accept moral equivalence between Britain and some of the most despicable regimes in the world. They want us to believe that our country, and the West in general, is solely responsible for the world's ills, and that we and our allies are the problem. In short, they want to destroy our trust and hope. We must not allow this to happen.
When these groups claim that Britain was and continues to be on the wrong side of history, we must reject them, and reject them again and again.
Just wondering… when was the last time the 'far right' bombed the tubes and buses in London? When was the last time the far right vandalized war memorials?
I'm just wondering.
Why will they never define the far right?
Could it be that Rishi is concerned that the recent popularity of the Reform Conservative Party in the UK threatens global do-nothing Tories' grip on power?…or not?
