We do have some reasons for optimism

Truth and good moral values are on our side, not on the side of Islam.

NOT ALL DOOM AND GLOOM

The situation does look utterly dire. Western nations are under severe attack, and have been for decades, and it seems to be worsening.

However, if I thought it was entirely hopeless I would have given up some years ago. I do have a whole list of completely unrelated projects on my “to do” list. Innovative, interesting, and worthwhile in themselves. Inventions that can help people directly. Having to focus on Islam comes with an enormous opportunity cost - all the good things we could have been doing instead just don’t get done. Such a shame.

Demographically Islam is winning. But, I suspect for not much longer. Let me give an example of why not…

COUSIN MARRIAGE

We simply cannot afford the costly burdens that Islam loads upon OUR society. Take cousin marriage for example:

I know someone who has a good business in the countryside, with several paddocks of ponies. And gives riding lessons. She also has dog kennels and she does dog training, winning top prizes at competitions. She has recently been contacted - can she give a pony stroking experience for Muslim children who are severely disabled? But they must not go anywhere near the dogs, because their religion forbids dogs. And yes, the ponies seem not to mind being stroked. But the cost: they come by minibus 20 miles each way, and so that itself is a cost. Plus the driver. Plus two or three carers. All expense, paid for by the taxpayer. And it achieves nothing. It is an utter drain on the taxpayer for zero benefit. And all entirely avoidable if Muslims would simply not marry their cousins!

I do go into a rant!

So, why is cousin marriage, perversely, a cause for hope? Yes it is a huge burden on the taxpayer. But it is also a huge burden on Muslims themselves. It is a daily reminder that their religion is terrible. It is a physical, moral, and theological burden. It is a daily reminder to them that Allah, as revealed in the Koran, is very decidedly not all-knowing or wise. Or the Koran would not permit cousin marriage.

This is just one example of why Islam is utterly evil. It is our task to highlight just how evil it is. And that is in fact quite an easy task. Cousin marriage is so self-evidently evil that nobody could argue otherwise.

And we can very definitely point to the Koran and say that cousin marriage is permitted by Allah. And it is so clearly written that nobody can say that the verse is being misinterpreted, or does not apply today but was only relevant to a particular circumstance of the time. Or the other daft excuses, such as you have to read the verse in context, and such like. No, the blame for cousin marriage is entirely and unambiguously pinnable onto the Koran itself:

Koran 33:50. O Prophet! Lo! We have made lawful unto thee thy wives unto whom thou hast paid their dowries, and those whom thy right hand possesseth of those whom Allah hath given thee as spoils of war, and the daughters of thine uncle on the father’s side and the daughters of thine aunts on the father’s side, and the daughters of thine uncle on the mother’s side and the daughters of thine aunts on the mother’s side who emigrated with thee, and a believing woman if she give herself unto the Prophet and the Prophet desire to ask her in marriage - a privilege for thee only, not for the (rest of) believers - We are Aware of that which We enjoined upon them concerning their wives and those whom their right hands possess - that thou mayst be free from blame, for Allah is ever Forgiving, Merciful.

I did write to all UK Members of Parliament, asking whether it is Islamophobic to call for the banning of cousin marriage. And quoting that verse. I have received a few replies, which are telling of the mindset of parliamentarians. Here:

Whether cousin marriage is made illegal or not is perhaps irrelevant in practice. It would probably continue anyway, as the laws of Allah are regarded as superior to man-made laws. What the discussions will do is focus the attention onto that verse in the Koran. Pinning the blame.

And the rape gangs. Hopefully that will be pinned onto Islam itself. There are 5 verses in the Koran that permit sex slavery.

The point being that Muslims themselves will be forced to acknowledge the source of these evils: the Koran and Mohammed. The shame of it will cause more to leave.

DEMOGRAPHCS

Key points:

• Fertility rate of Muslims in the UK: 3

• Apostasy rate of younger Muslims in the UK: 25% approx.

And so, if the apostasy rate could increase to 33%, that would stabilise the Muslim population, if immigration can be halted.

Calculation:

Steady state fertility = 2 (actually 2.1 but round down to simplify the maths).

So 1 in 3 needs to apostasize for steady state. 1/3 x 100% = 33%.

Yet because of cousin marriage, the effective fertility rate is less than 3. Because the disabled offspring will not go on to reproduce. Nearly 10% of younger Muslim adults are disabled. In other words the fertility rate is liable to continue gradually downwards.

For Europe total fertility rates:

And so, if the total fertility rate would reduce to say 2.5, the required apostasy rate would be, calculation:

Steady state fertility = 2 (actually 2.1 but round down to simplify the maths).

So 0.5 in 2.5 needs to apostasize for steady state. 0.5/2.5 x 100% = 20%.

And we are already at around 25% apostasy rate.

Unfortunately, the non-Muslim fertility rate has crashed. That needs to be boosted, which is a whole other discussion! Or we are in trouble anyway. A range of factors, including young women worrying about climate change, and deciding to have no babies!

GOVERNMENT ACTION

The government needs to halt Islamic immigration.

The Overton window is already shifting. Despite clamp downs, there is now more discussion on matters such as cousin marriage.

There needs to be a more widespread discussion about the evils of Islam. And that is happening, online, if not in mainstream media. The point is not so much to disgust non-Muslims, but to disgust Muslims. And the refusal to accept the immorality of Islam is the primary reason why people leave Islam.

As part of the Prevent programme, there has to be a concerted effort to get Muslims to leave Islam entirely. Trying to get them to transition from jihadi to “moderate” has not worked. And probably cannot work.

There needs to be a concerted effort in schools too, to warn people about the dangers of Islam. Gullible girls and young women may fall for the charms of a Muslim, and only too late realise what a mistake it was. I have met two women who had married Muslim men, and subsequently divorced. In neither case had they studied Islam before marrying, but they certainly found out about it after they married. There must be thousands of such cases. A little education at school could hopefully minimise such tragedies.

CHURCH ACTION

The Church could play a vital role in helping Muslims to leave Islam. I have written to hundreds of bishops. See:

And see:

FAULTY CURRENT APPROACH

Appeasement is unlikely to work. I have directly witnessed that in Wells Cathedral. The Church does need a new approach, if it is to be effective. I have a feeling that they have been going about the task in the least effective way, probably for the whole of the last 14 centuries!

If they can up their game, and really approach it as a job to do, their responsibility, they might be surprisingly effective. It requires of them a change of mindset.

HOPE

It can feel hopeless. And with a feeling of hopelessness comes inaction.

I say there are some signs of hope. And each of us must persevere.

Please spread the word!

PLEASE SUPPORT “PROJECT PHOENIX”

My calling is to do something positive, every day, to push back against the darkness that is surrounding us now. The encircling gloom.

I have written over 20 books, with more coming. See the Book Catalogue article, below. My books are supportive of our freedoms, and are supportive of Israel.

I was fired from my job as an electronics engineer at a UK university. My “crime”: writing a book that criticises Islam. I have subsequently written numerous more books on this topic. I cannot now get another professional job, as I am on the blacklist of Hope not Hate. I have to subsist on low value jobs such as gardening and dog sitting. And selling books too!
