“Diversity is our strength” has always been a stupid assertion. It is a slogan, a bumper sticker, and as sincerely meant by its proponents as the “COEXIST” bumper sticker slapped on the car of a pro-Hamas protester.
Generally, when you encounter somebody who uses that phrase like a weapon to push back on your values or a defense of Western culture, what lies beneath the banal phrase is a much darker idea: submit, or else.
It’s no secret that Great Britain and much of Europe are becoming Islamized, and that Islamists are not at all interested in diversity. That’s not a dark accusation–hundreds of thousands of Muslims march in the streets calling for Jihad, demanding Sharia law, and bragging that these countries will become majority Muslim.
European elites probably hope that by embracing Islam, they can tame it, and with so many Muslims, it makes sense to get everybody else on board. Play along. If we cosplay Islam perhaps the migrants will cosplay Britons.
‘There are so many people going to the events, they’ve outgrown the venues!’
GB News Originals Editor, @NickDnng, exclusively reports that NHS leadership has urged staff to observe Ramadan fasting as a gesture of ‘allyship’ with Muslim coworkers.

And there it is. Top Brass at the National Health Service endorsed the “Ramadan challenge,” encouraging non-Muslim NHS employees to engage in the traditional Ramadan fast as a sign of “allyship.”
“Allyship” itself is a horrible idea. By its very nature, it is a declaration of aggression against the larger culture–setting oneself apart and against those who aren’t “allies.” You need allies against enemies.
In itself, the “Ramadan challenge” should be offensive to Muslims. Like the Jewish High Holy Days or Easter, for seriously observant Christians, Ramadan is not purely an expression of culture but deeply religious, and a bunch of people who aren’t Muslim pretending to observe it cheapens it.
But it makes more sense, as seen in the light in which it was meant, preparing the ground for conversion.
‘I have an issue with medics fasting while performing clinical procedures.’
Bev Turner says it’s ‘mind-blowing’ that non-muslim NHS staff were asked to fast for Ramadan.

Muslims have lived mostly peacefully in Great Britain for years. Given that the British Empire had incorporated regions dominated by Islam, many Muslims have migrated there over the years. You could argue about whether the friction between the Muslim minority and the larger culture, and frankly, I don’t know enough to say. But it does seem clear that there was nothing particularly threatening about Westernized Islam, and that any animosity was more racial than religious.
But the new wave of Muslim immigration is inherently Islamist, and proudly so. For the most part, the refugees from regional wars in the Middle East and South Asia adhere to the medieval version of Islam, characterized by strict attitudes, hostility to non-Muslims, and (ironically) a strongly colonialist attitude. Islam spread through conquest, and conquest seems to be the goal of the new migrants.
The elite reaction to this is partly driven by suppressed fear–covering up crimes, fighting cultural self-defense by calling it “Islamophobia,” and placating the colonizers in the hope that they moderate and become more British.
But the new migrants are not interested in diversity; they aim for conquest. Rather than encouraging Britons to become more like the new migrants (cover your head! Don’t show skin! Take part in Ramadan!), they should admit that the two cultures are incompatible.
Being super-nice and pretending to enjoy the (non)diversity is destroying Europe. Individual, Westernized Muslims–of whom there are many–present no threat.
Islamism does, and needs to be rejected.
