When Islamization Deniers Celebrate Islamization
by Fjordman
On March 10, 2024, the municipality of Oslo in Norway lit large Ramadan light displays for the first time outside the City Hall.[1] Predictably, the Islam-friendly state broadcaster NRK portrayed this as a positive step towards more diversity and tolerance.[2]
They did not mention that Ramadan is also a period of intensified Jihad, Islamic holy war. Ramadan is often marked by deadly Islamic attacks against non-Muslims.
March 12, 2024, marked the start of trial against Zaniar Matapour. He is the Islamic terrorist behind the attack in central Oslo on June 25, 2022, where two people were killed and 21 injured. 19 shots were fired before civilians managed to overpower the perpetrator.[3] During the trial, Oslo City Hall is decorated to celebrate the Islamic fasting month of Ramadan. Less than two years after Matapour’s deadly Jihadist attack, the city of Oslo thus publicly celebrates the ideology behind the terror attack, a few hundred meters away from the crime scene.
Before carrying out his deadly attack, Zaniar Matapour is said to have become “markedly more religious.”[4] He also pledged allegiance to the Jihadist terrorist organization known as the Islamic State (IS or ISIS).
The Ramadan lights in Oslo are said to mimic similar celebrations in London. But is British society really something to emulate today? Britain now resembles a broken nation, already partially on its knees to Islam, while persecuting individuals brave enough to speak this truth out loud.
When the author Melanie Phillips described the Islamization of British society in her 2006 book Londonistan, critics accused her of exaggerating. She didn’t.
Haitham al-Haddad, a British Islamic jurist and the chair of the Fatwa Committee for the Islamic Council of Europe, said in a panel discussing Muslims in the West in 2023 that the situation of Muslims in the West is a lot better than it was 20 years earlier. He said that if you go outside, you might think you are in a “second Afghanistan,” but it is in fact “Londonistan.” Al-Haddad said that Muslims in the West should not consider themselves a “subjected minority,” because they are the “leaders of humanity.”[5]
Under its Muslim mayor Sadiq Khan, London has become an increasingly crime-ridden city where white Britons are a shrinking minority. Muslim rape gangs have operated in many British cities for years and continue to do so.[6]
In January 2024, the Gay and pro-Israeli MP Mike Freer announced that he would not seek re-election at the next UK election due to concerns for his personal safety, following threats and attacks by militant Muslims.[7]
His fear was not unfounded. A Jihadist supporting the Islamic State (IS) terrorist group murdered the Conservative MP David Amess on October 15, 2021.[8] The terrorist had also considered attacking Freer.
Thousands of Muslims have publicly demonstrated in London and other cities in sympathy with the terrorist organization Hamas.[9] Pro-Palestinian Muslims have been so aggressive in confronting individual politicians that Prime Minister Rishi Sunak warned British police chiefs in February 2024 that “mob rule is replacing democratic rule.”[10] At the same time, the public is also warned against the alleged dangers of so-called Islamophobia.
Prime Minister Sunak denied that his party has “Islamophobic tendencies.”[11] He said comments made by Conservative politician Lee Anderson were unacceptable, and he was therefore suspended from the party. Anderson stated that the Mayor of London was under the control of Islamists.[12] Sadiq Khan described the comments as racist and Islamophobic, and that they would “pour fuel on the fire of anti-Muslim hatred.”
The Islam-critical Dutch politician Geert Wilders has been living under constant police protection for the past two decades. He has described this in his book Marked for Death: Islam’s War Against the West and Me.
Other Islam-critical politicians such as Filip Dewinter in Belgium have also been subjected to harassment and planned assassination attempts.[13]
More and more European writers, intellectuals, artists, politicians, and ordinary citizens are threatened by militant Muslims. A veil of censorship and Islamic threats, an Iron Burka, is descending upon Western Europe.
People who ask critical questions regarding claims about man-made climate change risk being labelled “climate deniers.” Perhaps we should rather introduce a new term that is more appropriate: Islamization deniers.

Russian President Vladimir Putin was re-elected to a fifth term with 87% of the vote. In possibly unrelated news, Moldovan police arrested a man who attacked the Russian embassy with two Molotov cocktails as voting was taking place there.
