Decades in the Planning, the Islamic Republic of Britain

IN A recent speech given in the House of Lords to the Cambridge University Conservative Association, Dr Gavin Ashenden, for ten years a chaplain to the Queen, spoke of a ‘respected’ imam with whom he had worked ‘for quite a long time’ while running inter-faith seminars at the university where he was employed.

At the conclusion of one of these events, Dr Ashenden relates, this man confided in him as follows: ‘I’ve been doing this for an awfully long time, but my task is complete. I arrived in the 1970s with the aim of inaugurating an Islamic republic of Great Britain, and I’ve done it. This country is going to be an Islamic republic or, at least, a partitioned portion of it, in the time of my grandchildren.’

In fact, he continued, things were going so well that it could happen even within the lifetime of his children.

Dr Ashenden records this incident as occurring ‘long before Angela Merkel opened the border to the millions’ in 2015. Most of the under-16s who, according to the imam, comprised the majority of the Muslims in Britain a dozen or more years ago, have now gained access to the polling booths, allowing a combination of demography and a democratic system designed to cater for a non-sectarian population to ‘achieve what agitation would take longer to do’.
