There is little doubt that Islam poses a challenge to British society. It is growing in influence and has political as well as religious ambitions.
It is already affecting our democracy and changing our culture. Former home secretary Suella Braverman didn’t hold back in a Telegraph op-ed in February 2024:
‘The truth is that the Islamists, the extremists and the anti-Semites are in charge now. They have bullied the Labour Party, they have bullied our institutions, and now they have bullied our country into submission. This is a crisis. And the fightback must start now, with urgency, if we are to preserve the liberties we cherish and the privileges this country affords us all. If we are to have any chance of saving our country from the mob.’
