	I am not myself one who tends to follow what is said on Twitter.
	Though the honourable gentleman is almost invariably very well informed on these matters.
	On the 29th of November 2017, the Twitter account of US President Donald Trump retweeted three videos from Jada Franson, the deputy leader of a fringe far-right party called Britain First.
	The videos purported to show Muslim abuse towards non-Muslims.
	Naturally, the political class of Britain was outraged.
	At Donald Trump.
	It appears that the President of the United States has in recent moments been retweeting comments from far-right organisation Britain First, highly inflammatory videos, including some posted by an individual who I believe has recently been arrested and charged relating to certain serious offences.
	Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn demanded that the Prime Minister condemn far-right retweets, which is apparently not just an inconvenience that happens on Twitter, but instead a threat to our society.
	London Mayor Sudiq Khan declared that retweeting Britain First was a betrayal of the special relationship between Britain and the US and called for the Prime Minister to cancel the President's 2018 state visit.
	And the hottest take was from Chris Bryant, the Labour MP for Ponty Pandy, demanding that the President of the US be arrested for entering the UK.
	The first thing that should happen today is that the Foreign Secretary should summon in the American ambassador and give him a dressing down because the American President is meddling in British politics in a very, very dangerous way.
	And secondly, the Prime Minister should make it absolutely clear that if Donald Trump comes to this country, he'll be arrested for inciting religious hatred and therefore he'd be better off not coming at all.
	Prime Minister Theresa May diplomatically declared that it was the wrong thing to do while decrying far-right terrorism.
	Britain First is a hateful organisation.
	It seeks to spread division and mistrust among our communities.
	It stands in fundamental opposition to the values that we share as a nation, values of respect, tolerance, and demonstrates common British decency.
	On the issue of radical Islam, British woodlands are peaceful and law-abiding people who have themselves been the subject of acts of the victims of acts of terror by the far-right.
	There are those who conduct acts of terror in the name of Islam, but it is not in the name of Islam.
	Donald Trump clapped back to the wrong Theresa May.
	Instead of addressing the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom of Great Britain, Northern Ireland, he tweeted a mum from a small seaside resort near Brighton.
	There were, of course, the usual calls to have Donald Trump removed from Twitter, banned from the human race and fired out of a cannon into the sun, and not just from the usual verified lefty journals, but now from the British Parliament itself.
	And wouldn't the world be a better place if the Prime Minister could persuade the President of the United States to delete his Twitter account?
	I think even Trump's most ardent political opponents would probably agree it's true that rather than being a calculated political manoeuvre, it's probably more likely that Trump simply didn't know who Jada Franson was when he retweeted these videos to his 43 million follower account.
	It's also evident that Trump was trying to broaden the overtime window of public dialogue and raise the issue of Muslim attitudes and violence towards Westerners and Christianity, which was precisely the issue the press was determined to avoid in their frantic coverage of this event.
	The public was subjected to maximum damage control as the most reputable news outlets in the country ran President Trump's Twitter feed as the banner story, with wall-to-wall headlines that Trump had promoted Britain First, just so absolutely everyone in the country knew what had happened.
	The public was bombarded with numerous explanations of what a Britain First actually was, and the explanation, predictably, was Nazis.
	A description by The Guardian began as follows.
	Britain First is an Islamophobic group run by convicted racists, which should tell you everything you need to know about the political legitimacy of Britain First in the UK.
	The leaders of Britain First have indeed been convicted of racist hate crimes.
	In December 2016, party leader Paul Golding spent eight weeks in prison for breaching a court order banning him from entering a mosque, and in November 2016, deputy leader Jada Franson was convicted of religiously aggravated harassment and ordered to pay a fine of a thousand pounds after she harassed a Muslim woman wearing a hijab.
	The narrative establishing campaign was followed by a desperate investigation into the videos themselves to find only one of the three videos was actually false.
	The other two did indeed show what they were purported to show: a Muslim man smashing a statue of the Virgin Mary and Islamists with jihadi flags murdering teenagers in Alexandria during 2013's Egyptian coup, with the Islamists being executed for their crimes a few years later.
	Donald Trump retweets a far-right group's anti-Muslim videos, cried the BBC, which encapsulated the tone from the press on either side of the partisan divide.
	The content of the videos, which contained only raw footage without commentary, was deemed anti-Muslim.
	Let that sink in.
	Raw footage of Muslims acting of their own volition has been declared as anti-Muslim.
	This nonsensical approach by the press is evident of an ideological worldview in which merely recording evidence of the criminal activities of Muslims is no longer evidence of the crimes of Muslims, but instead an attack against them.
	This means that this video of Muslim men in the UK punching and kicking a man and a woman is an anti-Muslim video.
	Just look at this anti-Muslim video of Muslim men attacking British police.
	And what about this gang of Muslim kids attacking British kids?
	This video is really anti-Muslim.
	Whoever put this on YouTube should be ashamed of themselves.
	And by these standards, we must really talk about the anti-Muslim nature of the British press.
	Let's start local with the Liverpool Echo.
	This Islamophobic publication published several articles about a Muslim gang that, quote, rampaged through Liverpool city centre attacking strangers because they were non-Muslims.
	This is a disgusting attack on Muslims.
	Not all Muslims will rampage through your city centre attacking you because you're not a Muslim.
	The right-wing Murdoch-owned propaganda mill The Telegraph also recently published an article attacking Muslims by reporting on a gang of Muslim women who got drunk and repeatedly kicked a white woman in the head while shouting, kill the white slag.
	What a horrific thing to print.
	Not all Muslim women want to kill white slags.
	And anyway, the judge gave them suspended sentences because they weren't used to being drunk.
	You know, because they were Muslims.
	Even worse still was The Times, one of the ringleaders of the mass media promotion of the Britain First brand that recently accused Muslims of being misogynistic.
	Islam to me is one of the most is the most feminist religion.
	They published evil lies about Islam by claiming children were being brainwashed in Islamic schools to dominate women and that it's just fine if a Muslim man beats his wife which incidentally is prescribed in the Quran in Surah 434.
	The fact is, what is culture is separate from what is fmm.
	But not all Muslim men beat their wives, so this reporting by the Times is in fact a vile hit piece designed to incite hatred.
	These disgusting allegations by the Times are part of a long-running campaign by the British press against Islam, which also reported on the Islamophobic British government's inquisition into Sharia courts, which have been accused of being oppressive to women by actually following Islamic doctrine.
	This includes sending women back to abusive husbands and being told to be patient with their rapists.
	Any majority Muslim country you would rather live in than here.
	No.
	The Guardian attacked Muslims in 2016 when they published an article accusing Muslims of being homophobic.
	A Channel 4 poll had found that half of all Muslims in Britain thought homosexuality should be illegal.
	Not all Muslims hate homosexuals.
	Only half of them do.
	In the West, everyone is deplorable.
	But my friends here are simply a daughter.
	Come with me, say your prayers.
	Let me take you upstairs and go flinging a faggot off a roof.
	Crowds are gathered below, they're just watching the show as we're flinging a faggot off a roof.
	In 2016, alt-right blog The Spectator published an attack on Muslims by portraying an Islamist bombing in a Sikh temple as a religiously motivated attack to cover up their evident anti-Muslim agenda.
	Not all Muslims are bombing Sikh temples.
	These are some of the approved sources of anti-Muslim bigotry in the United Kingdom, Mr. Trump.
	When you wish to criticize Islam, you have the permission of the liberal elites to use these sources to attack Muslims in Britain.
	But don't worry, there are plenty of approved sources in the United States too.
	For example, The Washington Post published a hit piece on the Cologne New Year's Eve sex attacks in 2015-2016.
	Not all German women will be violently sexually assaulted by 2,000 Muslims, and not all Muslims will violently sexually assault women.
	Approved Zionist publication, The Daily Beast, published a hit piece against Muslims by suggesting that Muslim immigrants were perpetuating a reign of terror against Jews in France.
	This piece was at once Islamophobic and anti-Semitic, as not all Muslims in France are persecuting the Jews.
	But the worst offender of the lot, by far, is anti-immigration right-wing hate rag, The Wall Street Journal, who in 2015 published an anti-Muslim screed after Muslim activists rightly attacked the free speech of the Islamophobic satirical magazine, Charlie Hebdo.
	In their attack article, they portray Muslim immigration as a military threat to France due to its, quote, radical edge.
	This is disgusting anti-Muslim bigotry.
	Not all Muslims are a threat to national security.
	But you don't need to stop with the anti-Muslim press.
	We have many anti-Muslim left-wing politicians too.
	Sarah Champion, the former Labor shadow secretary of state, who in August 2017 wrote a piece condemning Muslim grooming gangs preying on almost exclusively white pubescent girls.
	Champion was declared to be inciting racial hatred by the far-left howler monkeys.
	The government concluded, there is no simple link between race and child sexual exploitation.
	Well then, country that gave us Sherlock Holmes, Father Brown, and Miss Marple, if race isn't the cause of our child sexual exploitation epidemic, maybe we can spot another feature held in common by such diverse figures as Abed Mohammed Sadiq of Derby, his partner Mohammed Liaquat, Mohammed Sajid of Rochdale, his partner Muhammad Amin, Mohammed Islam Chowdhury of Telford, his partner Muhammad Ali Sultan,
	Muhammad Karar of Oxford, and Mohammed Sheikh of London.
	What could all these Muhammads possibly have in common?
	And forced to resign for writing about events that actually happened because things Muslims do are anti-Muslim.
	But what's worse is that Champion stands by her accurate representation of reality like the bigot she is.
	Not all Muslims will gang rape your teenage daughters.
	What's causing the disproportionate grooming rape gang problem between British Pakistani communities and the wider mainstream society when the convicts themselves are saying and admitting that they are driven and motivated by religious and racial reasons?
	They're testifying as much themselves, both in their trials and elsewhere.
	Badrul Hussain, one of the 37-year-olds who was found guilty of four drugs offenses, said so himself.
	He said, white women are good for only one thing for people like me, and that's for us to use them as trash.
	And I've actually not used the swear word that are used in that quote because we're on live radio.
	But Sarah Champion is by far the most famous Labour MP to have openly espoused anti-Muslim views.
	Oh no, the honour of most Islamophobic left-wing politician in Britain goes to the one, the only, Tony fucking Blair, who in March 2016 publicly stated that many millions of Muslims hold a viewpoint that is fundamentally incompatible with the modern world.
	This is outrageous.
	Not all Muslims hate Western values and seek to install a caliphate.
	And if that wasn't bad enough, Mr. Trump, it turns out that most Europeans agree with him and also support your Muslim ban.
	55% of people polled in 10 European countries turned out to be disgusting bigoted Islamophobes, which is supported by a 2016 Pew survey that found the overwhelming majority of people in Eastern and Southern Europe had a negative view of Muslims for absolutely no reason whatsoever.
	Not all Muslims tried to conquer Europe for a thousand years.
	Finally, the absolute worst anti-Muslim bigotry comes from the Muslims themselves.
	Julian, why don't we hear your voice very often?
	Why don't we hear many voices like yours?
	Because I think a lot of people in our community, I know a lot of friends, who want to be, who want to say these things, but they're just so scared of the community and what people will think about them.
	And if we even say something against Islam, it's we are, you know, we are we are frightened in a way because we will get judged by the community.
	And because our parents are older generation and they lived here for many years and we are the new generation, we would like to be free.
	We would like to be more modern.
	We would like to, you know, I don't think it's a day and age to cover your face and walk on the street.
	I really, as a British Muslim, I still feel, I look at a person who covers their face, I feel unsafe, you know, we're living in the West.
	Not all Muslims will judge, hate or attack you for criticizing Islam.
	And because it's not all Muslims doing these things at all times, Mr. Trump, means that you are not allowed to talk about them.
