In
April 2016, Channel 4 released a controversial documentary titled
"What British Muslims Really Think," based on a poll
conducted by the research consultancy ICM.
According
to this poll, 52% of the British Muslims surveyed believed that
homosexuality should not be legal in the United Kingdom (compared to
5% of the general public). 31% of Muslims thought it was acceptable
for a man to have more than one wife (compared to 19% of the general
public who disagreed).
39%
of Muslims agreed that wives must always obey their husbands
(compared to 5% of the general public). 4% stated they sympathized
with people who take part in suicide bombings, while 85% showed no
sympathy at all. 21% supported stoning as a punishment for adultery.
Commenting
on these results, journalist Trevor Phillips said that Muslims were "building
'a nation within a nation.'" Trevor Phillips, a journalist and
former leader of the UK Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC),
was born in London but is Black—his parents emigrated from Guyana
after World War II.
In
an interview with The
Guardian, the former leader of the UK Equality and Human Rights
Commission (EHRC) admitted that he "got almost everything wrong"
regarding immigration in a previous report. Phillips claims that
followers of Islam have very different values from the rest of
society and that many want to lead separate lives. The former
chairman of the UK Equality and Human Rights Commission also
advocates for controlling ethnic minority populations in social
housing neighborhoods, which should not exceed 50% to prevent them
from becoming ghettos."
Trevor
Phillips also said that schools may have to consider a 50 percent cap
on Muslim or other minority students to encourage social integration.
And he states that the disturbing findings of recent investigations
point to a growing chasm between the attitudes of many British
Muslims and those of their fellow citizens. Trevor Phillips justified
his statement—"Muslims are building 'a nation within a
nation'"—with the following points:
Failure
of Multiculturalism:
It stated that liberal integration policies failed because they
wrongly assumed that Muslim communities would gradually blend into
the fabric of Western society
Divergence
of Values: It
pointed out that the poll revealed resistance to cultural
assimilation, with a significant percentage of respondents expressing
very conservative views on homosexuality, the role of women, and the
enforcement of Sharia law.
Social
Segregation: It
warned that the country risked isolating and sacrificing generations
of young people to values that are irreconcilable with British
liberal values.
Integration
vs. Separation:
35% believed that Muslims should do more to integrate into British
society, while 17% felt they should live separately if they so
wished.
Regarding
the chart reproduced above, it is easy to find examples of what
happens when Muslim immigration exceeds certain levels and its
population percentage rises past a certain difference. Sweden is a
good example: in the last ten years, the country accepted a number of
foreign residents that today represents (including second
generations) around 27% of the inhabitants.
Once
considered one of the safest countries in the world, Sweden currently
ranks second among European countries with the most homicides.
Despite representing only 27% of the population, individuals of
immigrant background (1st and 2nd generations) are responsible for
between 60% and 63% of rapes.
About
thirty years ago (around 1996), the Muslim population in Europe
represented approximately 4% of the continent's total inhabitants,
which equated to about 30 million people. This number has nearly
doubled, with a total of immigrants that currently stands at around
50 million.
What
happens when the Muslim population grows translates into a social and
political pattern that is replicated in every European country to
varying degrees—from one to nine, as seen in the chart reproduced
above. Muslims did not come to coexist, but to conquer. Statements by
Islamic preachers with this content exist by the thousands on social
media. It is not possible to find the videos from islamic preachers with a opposite view.
Great
Britain has now reached the 6th stage. In Portugal, we are already in
the 5th stage, noticeable in perfectly explicit details that are
purposely ignored by journalists who are genuinely terrified of being
accused of xenophobia or islamophobia.
While
they are at 1% of the population, Muslims show themselves to be
humble and peaceful, highlighting their good interaction in
Portuguese society, as Sheikh David Munir, imam of the Lisbon Mosque,
has always made a point of emphasizing. The sheikh is widely
recognized for his moderate, integrative stance and his defense of
interreligious dialogue. Yet he is the one who reveals to SIC TV the
existence of Islamic ghettos in Portugal—a phase of Islamic
conquest specific to the 5th degree.
Sheikh David Munir, the iman of Lisbon's Mosque, reveals that years ago "he shared his concern about some
areas of Lisbon, such as Martim Moniz, but nothing was done (...) A
few years ago, when some members of the community and I realized that
some areas of Lisbon could become ghettos, we spoke to the
responsible authorities and nothing was done” — a ridiculous
observation, as if it were possible to prevent people from renting or
buying houses in a certain area of the city.
Regarding the increase in immigration of Islamic
origin, he recognizes integration difficulties for some immigrants
arriving in Portugal, from whom he asks for “respect for the laws,
rules, language, and culture,” added the imam of the Lisbon mosque,
according to SIC TV, in June 2025
The
transformation of the Martim Moniz area into a no-go zone for Western
women, for example, is a result of this voluntary "ghettoization"
by people from Bangladesh. The constitution of a ghetto cannot be
avoided unless immigrants with different values and customs have the
desire to integrate into the society they immigrated to. But what is
evident in the Muslim community is the desire not to integrate, in
any way, into Portuguese society — an exclusion that begins with
the conspicuous maintenance of a different way of dressing, for both
women and men.
That
is why, around each mosque, non-Muslims are gradually disappearing,
mainly due to the intimidation targeted at Westerners in general and,
especially, women. However, it must be recognized that Muslims are
not the only ones forming ghettos in Portugal. It is true that the
African minority, whose type of integration is apparently stronger
than that of Muslims, also organizes itself into ghettos that are
much more violent no-go zones than the Muslim ones.
In
both cases, the criminalization of the second generations of these
communities is identical and rooted in the fact that both perceive
"white people" as "weak" and unable to impose
themselves physically. If we compare Portuguese emigration from the
1960s with these immigrants, it becomes clear that newly arrived
Portuguese in France—just to cite one example—lived in
shantytowns, but the second generation did not turn to crime. On the
contrary, they integrated perfectly. It all boils down to a matter of
an incompatible culture—the Quran and Sharia versus the Bible—and
the social conditioning of the African minority.
Muslims
hold values, based on the Quran and Sharia, that are more important
to them, though completely incompatible with the Constitution of the
Portuguese Republic. Their integration into a Western society will
never be possible because, in essence, non-Muslims remain "infidels"
who do not accept Islam. The only form of Muslim integration occurs
when, through various phenomena—mass immigration, exceptionally
high birth rates, and the appropriation of a substantial share of
State resources through subsidies and housing—they manage to reach
sufficient numbers to gain political weight and control the country, like it happened in Lebanon.
These
phenomena are facilitated by the support of left-wing liberals, for
whom cultural diversity is a fundamental value, due to the opposition
these immigrants offer to the capitalist State and to non-left
political forces. Muslims are well aware of this submissive attitude
from left-wing political groups and appear to be part of that
ideological alignment, as seen with the Green Party in the UnitedKingdom.
On
the other hand, the African minority builds much more aggressive
ghettos, where the police can only enter with special units and
forces comprising at least two dozen men. In this case, culture is
not the issue—we speak the same language, we were educated in a
Judeo-Christian context—but rather a problem of values. The
societies from which African immigration originates are violent by
nature, given the absence of a State recognized by its citizens as
just and, consequently, deemed fit to maintain order.
The
dominant kleptocracy and the miserable financial condition in which
about 80% of the population lives (below the poverty line) create an
absence of values that reflects in the high crime rate of this
minority. Although the Government does not collect or publish data on
the race of inmates in Portuguese prisons, there are correctional
facilities where inmates of African descent account for over 60% of
the detainees.
Returning
to the issue of self-exclusion within the Muslim community regarding
integration, the loss of old characteristics in downtown Lisbon continues at an
accelerated pace, with souvenir shops paying 5,000 euros in rent and
having 400 registered workers in a smal shop, 15 or 20 square meters, or apartments where 600 people "live."
The inability of political authorities, especially at the municipal
level, to prevent this degradation stems from the same attitude held
by municipal authorities, police, and social workers in Rotherham,
who for years ignored the abuse of British minors by Pakistani gangs,
mostly from dysfunctional families.
The
police involvement in the Rotherham child sexual abuse scandal
centers on a systemic failure by Pakistani Muslim gangs to protect
around 1,400 victims between 1997 and 2013. The South Yorkshire
Police (SYP) faces heavy and ongoing scrutiny after investigations
revealed that officers ignored warning signs, dismissed victims as
mere runaways, and, in some cases, were perpetrators of abuse
themselves. But the main reason for this inaction by the Rotherham
police was related to a fact—confessed by themselves—that
officers and social workers feared being accused of racism and
xenophobia, a situation where they would be publicly lynched by
liberal left-wing political forces.
Nowadays,
tourists do not even walk up Rua do Benformoso, warned as they are by
tour guides about the risks they face in that area—mainly the theft
of mobile phones or bags by purse-snatching. This is not to mention
the constant harassment and intimidation by hundreds of Hindustanic
people who spend the day there, standing on the sidewalks in groups
of three or four, doing nothing but talking on their mobile phones.
Carlos Moedas, the Mayor of Lisbon and the other municipal leaders react in the same way
as the Rotherham police—they do nothing out of the same fear of
accusations of xenophobia and racism.
Other
left-wing politicians, like the ineffable Ana Gomes, show gestures of
submission by distributing red carnations to immigrants who had been
the target of a police raid days before. It did not cross her
mind—but that is just how the Left is—that at the hour the raid
took place—midafternoon—it made no sense having over a hundred men
aged 30 to 40 to be standing there on the sidewalks of Rua do
Benformoso, a time when people are supposed to be working."
Going
back 20 years, we can see that the successful integration of the
Islamic community has some flaws. In one of his Friday sermons,
Sheikh Munir recommended that all believers read a book, 'The Virtues
of Actions' (Portuguese version available here), written between 1929
and 1964 (also known as Faza'il-e-A'maal or Tableeghi Nisaab) by
Maulana Muhammad Zakariyya. Sheikh Munir stated it was 'a useful read
for any believer.' The book is an Islamic compilation of Hadiths and
uplifting stories and episodes, carrying a fundamentalist and
extremist nature.
The
book was on sale at the Lisbon Mosque on a Friday. In that edition of
the weekly newspaper O
Independente, I
published a two-page report about the book and the fundamentalist
organization Tablighi Jamaat—which is banned in Saudi Arabia, where
the government classified the group as a 'gate to terrorism'—and already held significant weight within the Islamic Community of
Lisbon at the time.
As
soon as they noticed the news, there was a rush to remove the book from the shelves. I had the opportunity to read that book. One of the
episodes recounted there stuck in my memory. In the early days of
Islam, believers were preparing for a battle against their enemies. A
mother called her five sons and ordered them to focus solely on
heading toward the enemy leader's position during the battle and
killing him.
After
the battle ended in victory for the Muslims, they went to tell the
mother that her five sons had been killed, but they had managed to
kill the enemy leader. The mother's reaction, as written in the book,
was one of intense jubilation, and weeping with joy, she thanked
Allah for granting her the honor of having five martyr sons. The book
contains dozens of episodes of this nature, alternating with legal
advice and interpretations of the Quran.
Portugal
has skipped some 'steps' in the specific progression of the Muslim
conquest, thanks to the extreme submissiveness of Portuguese society
and left-wing politicians. When the Islamic community reaches 2% to 3% of the
population, it begins to recruit heavily, primarily targeting young
people from dysfunctional families.
In
the pursuit of power within any country, Islamism relies on the
collaboration of Left-wing forces, namely party organizations with
characteristics similar to those of Bloco de Esquerda and Livre.
Another feature of this phase (between 2% and 3% of the population)
is the policy of attracting young students, with visits to the mosques, which shows how Leftism
still dominates a substantial portion of Portuguese teaching members.
The
need to prove that there is no Islamophobia in Portuguese society is
well demonstrated by the submissive attitude of the former President
of the Republic, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, who visited the Lisbon
Mosque four times, ignoring all other religious faiths and his own
religion, Catholicism.
During
one of these visits, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa went so far as to kneel,
opening the palms of his hands toward the sky—a typical gesture
that Muslim believers make during their prayers
However,
the submissive behaviors of the then-President also included a visit
to the Islamic School of Palmela, where, inside the classrooms, boys
and girls sit in separate spaces, side by side.
With
the mass arrival of South Asian Muslims, the Islamic Community of
Lisbon entered a crisis. These Muslims do not accept the religious
authority of Sheikh Munir, the iman of Lisbon's Mosque and have their own places of worship, with
their own imans.
In
fact, for the first time, the Bangladeshi Islamic Community, based at
the Baitul Mukarram Mosque, organized a prayer session in Martim
Moniz on May 27th to celebrate Eid al-Adha (known as the 'Feast of
Sacrifice'), without any visible presence of the Islamic Community of
Lisbon. This is one of the most important celebrations in the Islamic
calendar, commemorating Prophet Abraham's total devotion to God by
being willing to sacrifice his son, who was ultimately replaced by a
ram.
Bangladeshi
nationals currently number around 80,000—according to their leader,
Rana Taslim Uddin, a figure in an episode where, during a speech to
the Community's leadership, he stated: 'Those who found a new society
here, those who are present here today, ask me what I have done for
society. Brothers, I did it to make my God happy, not for society. If
God is happy, He will bring a solution for society and lead this
society onto the right path. If He is not happy, then He will destroy
this society.'
The
5th step of the Muslim conquest of a Christian country—the stage in
which Portugal currently finds itself—involves a very specific set
of situations:"
1
– Demand for "Halal" food in schools (The municipalities
of Loures and Odivelas have already done so).
2 – Existence
of prayer rooms in schools (a demand only in areas where the Muslim students exceeds 5%) and the construction of more Islamic schools.
In this area, the Muslim community's strategy is well-defined.
According to Al-madinah, a magazine of the Islamic Community of the
South Bank of the Tagus, "In mainstream schools (…) it becomes
impossible to safeguard the faith.
The solution
lies in creating Islamic institutions, where children can grow up in
an Islamic environment" – Al-Madinah Magazine, edition of the
Islamic Community of the South Bank of the Tagus. "The more
'freedom of expression' and the 'consciousness of freedom' are
propagated, the more evident it becomes (…) that these rules were
not made for Muslims." – according to the same magazine, whose
mentors are members of the Muslim Brotherhood.
3 –
Preparation of an attempt to impose standardized clothing in schools
where Muslim students are the majority, in order to forbid girls from
wearing skirts. Aggressive and intimidating attitudes towards people
walking dogs in areas bordering mosques, places of worship, and areas
where the Muslim population is in the majority.
4 –
"Adaptation" of Christmas festivities and other
manifestations of a religious nature in schools, so that terms like
"Christmas" or "Merry Christmas" are not used, as
they could be offensive to Muslim students, according to those
responsible for the José Maria dos Santos School Group in Pinhal
Novo, and at the Gil Vicente School in Lisbon. Both stated that it
was about removing thematic elements (like Christmas backgrounds in
photos) for reasons of inclusion and respect for students from other
cultures and religions.
This is a
justification that only demonstrates an attitude of submission
towards Muslims, the
only religion that punishes apostasy with death. The "inclusion" is a system that liberal leftists so love, but it is a system that only works
one way. The former President of the Republic visited the Lisbon
Mosque four times, but Sheikh David Munir never set foot in a church.
5 – The show
of force that is the occupation of public spaces, currently once a
year – twice if the Islamic Community of Bangladesh (CIB) continues
with its initiative, independent of the Islamic Community of Lisbon
(CIL). While the latter limits itself to the closing prayer of
Ramadan, the Islamic Community of Bangladesh held a different
religious ceremony this year, Eid al-Adha (Feast of Sacrifice), an
important celebration of the Islamic calendar.
In both cases,
the locations (for many years, in the case of the final
Ramadan prayer) are not chosen by chance. The religious celebrations
take place at Martim Moniz Square and Afonso Henriques Avenue –
choices that are not innocent, because they symbolize the great
Christian victory, in the war against Al-Andalus, which was the
conquest of the city of Lisbon.
6 – Special
schedules for Muslim students to allow them to fulfill prayer
obligations or, alternatively, the establishment of prayer rooms
within the school premises. This early departure of Muslim students
for prayers involved, for example, the José Saramago Secondary
School, located in Palmela, where its principal, Faisal Aboobakar, a
Muslim, instructed teachers to allow Muslim students to leave early
to fulfill Ramadan obligations.
7 –
Implementation of Islamic courts and Islamic law, Sharia: an Islamic
court has been operating for over twenty years on the premises of the
Lisbon Mosque, presided over by Sheikh Munir and composed of a "group
of wise men." In the approximately 60 places of worship
scattered across the country, over thirty Islamic courts operate,
whose validity is null and void under the Constitution of the
Portuguese Republic. However, due to pressure and fear of being
ostracized by the rest of the community, Muslims do not resort to
legal courts, preferring instead to submit to this null justice.
8 – Insertion
into the political sphere, starting in Islamic ghetto areas, at the
municipal level. As more Muslims acquire the right to vote, their
concentration in specific zones of each city or town allows for
massive and concentrated voting for their candidates.
In the local council elections, reports indicated that over 290 Muslims were elected nationwide to various local government seats. Birmingham has 29.9% Muslims. It is the city with the highest
proportion and concentration of Muslim citizens among the three
largest cities in England. London has about 15% and Leeds 7.8
percent. These are the three most populated cities in England. A large number os politicians of foreign origin has been elected but it's not possible to evaluate the right number. In May 2026, Birmingham opened its city council ceremony with an Islamic prayer as it welcomed its first Muslim Liberal Democrat Lord Mayor.
Added to this
are hundreds of councilors and other elected municipal positions held
by ethnic minorities, with special emphasis on those of Muslim
origin. Some recent cases have sparked controversy in the United
Kingdom. Rukhsana Ismail, appointed ceremonial Mayor of Rotherham (a
city in northern England), spoke for about eight minutes. She spoke
for seven minutes in English and kept only the last minute to leave a
message in her mother tongue.
Also, Zaker
Choudhry, of Pakistani origin and newly sworn in as Lord Mayor of
Birmingham, generated reactions due to his very slow, halting reading
style in English with a visible lack of fluency during the official
ceremony at the Birmingham City Council. The mayor chose to give part
of his family thanks in Urdu.
9 – Finally,
the issue of anti-Semitism. At the Islamic book fairs, which occurred
every year at the Lisbon Mosque, it was common to see books by white
supremacists and anti-Semites for sale. That fair was an opportunity
to acquire works by David Duke, an American neo-Nazi, Holocaust
denier, and supporter of white supremacy.
David Duke was
National President of the European-American Unity and Rights
Organization (EURO) and a leader of the Ku Klux Klan. Example of one
publication available to the public at that fair: "How Israeli
Terrorism and Betrayal of America Caused the 9/11 Attack". Other
works published by David Duke: "The
Hoax of the Twentieth Century" and "Did Six Million Really
Die?", also available at the same Islamic book fair. David
Duke was also the founder of the "National Association for the
Advancement of White People", a racist and anti-Semitic
organization. These works were edited by Youssf Adamgy, director of
the Portuguese Islamic magazine Al-Furqán.
In that same
magazine, in 1988, an article was published, with a front-page call,
questioning "Are Jews endowed with humanity? (…) The Jew hates
everyone who is not a Jew (…) 'Jews proper are not human beings (…)
Jews are enemies of all those who are not, and seek to do them all
possible harm. Perhaps that is why Hitler wanted to annihilate this damned people', the text concluded. The article was authored by
Sheikh Aminuddin Mohamad, at the time spiritual advisor to the
Islamic Community of Lisbon (presided over by banker Abdul Karim
Vakil).
Evolution
of the Islamic conquest of Western countries, according with their
percentage of population
1%
or less: Image of a peaceful minority.
2–3%:
Recruitment intensifies (prisons, gangs, youths from dysfunctional
families, the homeless). UK prison authorities make deals
with organized Muslim groups, without whom they cannot manage the
prisons, given the dominance Muslims exercise over other inmates. The
criminalization of the second generation of Muslim immigrants is
evident in official figures: they make up around 6% of the
population but account for 17% of detainees. Most crimes
committed by Muslims are carried out by youths and young adults.
5%: Pressure for
Sharia begins — demands for halal food in
schools/supermarkets, prayer rooms, Islamic dress codes, special
accommodations, and harassment of politicians to finance the building of more mosques — the current
situation in Portugal, with aroud 60 mosques or places of pray, with
the Bangladesh community controling 14 of them. The bangladeshi
community is around 80 thousand migrants, 20 thousand of them already have Portuguese nationality.
6%: England is
now at this level: acquisition of political power at the municipal
level, election of Muslim MPs (25 MPs, representing 4% of all MPs),
population concentration in towns and cities, implementation of
Sharia through numerous Islamic courts, entire neighborhoods that are
effectively off-limits to non-Muslims through the use of violence
(much more pronounced in the case of journalists), dominance of
Muslim youths over their peers in schools through group violence,
total control of detainees in prisons, sexual violence against women
and underage girls. In this matter, the “defense” of many Muslims
in court is the same: those women dressed like prostitutes, were not virgins, therefore
Sharia does not forbid rape. Also, submission of the Nation’s highest
representatives - as visible in King Charles III’s Ramadan
message.
At 10%: Crime
increases drastically. Complaints turn into riots and threats.
Non-Muslim “offenses” (cartoons, freedom of speech, criticism of
Islam) trigger violence, car burnings, and chaos in the streets.
“No-go” zones multiply (where authorities do not enter).
Politicians begin yielding to the Muslim voting bloc. (See France and
parts of Sweden today.)
At 15%: The
breaking point hits hard. Serious riots become routine. Jihad
militias begin to form. Sporadic attacks on non-Muslims, churches,
and institutions surge. Demands for Sharia patrols and parallel
societies intensify. Political power shifts — local councils start
being won and national politics influenced. (This is where India’s
troubled regions and Lebanon’s collapse began.)
At 20%: Frequent
riots, organized jihad militias, and direct attacks on non-Muslim
institutions. Ethnic tensions turn into open conflict. Non-Muslims
flee these areas. Enforcement of Sharia in Muslim zones becomes de
facto law. Jews are especially persecuted and subjected to constant
violence. (Lebanon went from a Christian majority to the hell of
civil war at this stage.)
At 40%:
Widespread massacres, chronic terrorist attacks, and full militia
warfare. Entire regions fall under Islamic control. Non-Muslims face
daily persecution.
At 60%:
Persecution of non-believers, ethnic cleansing, full implementation
of Sharia law, and jizya taxes imposed on the remaining infidels.
At 80%:
State-run ethnic cleansing and genocide. The march toward 100% Muslim
population becomes relentless.
At 100%: The
“peace” of Dar al-Islam — everyone submits, pays a special tax
for Christians allowed to live under Muslim rule (jizya), or dies.
THERE IS NO
turning back from these numbers. High birth rates, chain migration,
refusal to assimilate, and the construction of parallel societies
mean that Britain is sleepwalking toward irreversible
Islamization.
Portugal is going the same way, much faster. In 2017, the socialist government of Antóio Costa changed the law and introduced the possibility of any imigrant coming to Portugal, whitout any kind of visa or permission. The immigrant could come with a tourist visa and apply for a residence permit directly within the national
territory, provided that they were integrated into the labor market. The result is a total number of TWO MILLION immigrants (Portugal had 10 million inhabitants, before) most of them muslims from Bangladesh and Índia.
