After Mo died 632 his position was then filled by a series of Caliphs, they continued the expansionist policy of imperialism and colonialism as they spread Islam by the sword. I'll outline the history into Europe, but don't forget the expansionist policy also spread west into North Africa all the way to Morocco, and further East to China. I'll be brief in my outline:
By 668 jihad manifested itself outside the walls of Constantinople
711 Islamic armies invaded Spain
800 years of fighting followed until 1492
The jihad engulfed more nations than the Palestine-bound Crusades (there were 8 of these between 1096 and 1270, less than 200 years, they wanted to establish themselves in the holy land which was formerly Christian)
Far grander jihad continued as Muslims wanted to take and occupy Europe and Islamize it. Large parts of Europe were taken and occupied for centuries, sometimes devastated and some of it Islamized.
Spain
Portugal
France
Italy
Sicily
Austria
Bosnia
Serbia
Croatia
Hungary
Romania
Wallachia
Albania
Moldavia
Bulgaria
Greece
Armenia
Georgia
Poland
Ukraine
Eastern and southern Russia
All Jihad battlefields where Islam conquered or was conquered. Many of those lands were occupied by Muslims, in some cases by Arabs or Moors, in others by Ottoman Turks, usually for hundreds of years.
Spain 800 years
Portugal 600
Greece 500
Sicily 300
Serbia 400
Bulgaria 500
Romania 400
Hungary 150 years - a place particularly ruined/plundered and ravaged and it took 200 years to recover.
Muslims came and occupied a huge part of Europe, the Turks besieged Vienna twice in 1529 and 1683. Their cavalry raided central Europe, riding into Bavaria almost as far as Nuremberg. They fought in Poland and the Ukraine, crushed Hungary, occupied Belgrade and Budapest for hundreds of years.
The Moors and the Arabs took Spain and Portugal, invaded France through the Pyrenees, turned Sicily into an Islamic island, raided Rome, sacked St Peter's and obliged the pope to pay tribute. From their base near St Tropez they raided Switzerland as far as Lake Constance on the German border. The pirates of the Barbary coast raided England, Denmark, Ireland, Iceland and brought back thousands of slaves for the markets of Constantinople (after they had turned it into Istanbul) and North Africa. The Mongols threatened Moscow, occupied the Crimea and became Tatars. The Persians marched into Georgia, so did the Turks, who also occupied Armenia.
Some imagine that the sack of Jerusalem in 1099 was the start of the hostility between Islam and the West, they handily ignore the capture of Jerusalem from the Christians in 638, the invasion of Spain some 70 years later by the Arabs and Moors, and the subsequent 800 year occupation in whole or in part of the Iberian peninsula.
It is interesting that the west has by-and-large forgotten this history, but it hasn't been forgotten by orthodox muslims, those who see the eventual expulsion of the invading force as a shame, and who seek to take back the lands of Al Andalus etc.
It is in quite stark contrast that western Europeans do not celebrate their colonialist past, yet there are significant numbers of those within dar-ul-Islam who consider their colonialism to be a glorious one.

Diversity isn't strength, it is a challenge at best.
Don't get me wrong, I dont mind having some foreigners about, that probably makes things more interesting, but it depends on the type of foreigners doesn't it?
We have gone way past any sweet-spot.
Can you imagine if instead of Bradford being full of Pakistanis there was 5 or so percent of French, Spanish, Italians, Scandis, Japanese etc etc? It would be interesting with lots of markets and different ideas, and there wouldn't be integration issues and parallel societies, no jihad, no rape gangs, no inbreeding, acid attacks, child marriage, moden slavery etc etc.
One more Muslim isnt going to make Bradford more diverse or interesting is it?

22:36 native English is a thing, we are an ethnicity.
### The Case for English People as Native First Nations Aboriginal People
*1. Historical and Cultural Roots:*
The English people, like other indigenous groups, have a profound connection to their land that spans thousands of years. This historical continuity and cultural heritage are integral to their identity.
*2. Arguments for English People as Native First Nations Aboriginal People:*
- *Historical Continuity:* The English have inhabited the British Isles since ancient times, with evidence of continuous settlement, cultural development, and societal structures dating back to the Neolithic era.
- *Cultural Heritage:* England's rich cultural heritage, including language, literature, folklore, and traditions, is deeply rooted in its unique historical experience. Landmarks like Stonehenge and historical documents like the Magna Carta symbolize this enduring legacy.
- *Ethnic Identity:* The concept of an indigenous people is often linked to ethnic identity and cultural practices. The English language, customs, and traditions form a distinct cultural identity that has evolved over millennia.
- *Land and Ancestry:* Indigenous status often includes a strong connection to ancestral lands. The English people’s ties to the landscape, historical sites, and regional identities (such as Cornish, Yorkshire, etc.) reflect this deep-rooted connection.
### The Challenge of Globalism
*1. Impact of Globalization:*
Globalization brings significant changes, including economic integration, cultural exchange, and demographic shifts. While it has benefits, such as increased diversity and economic opportunities, it also poses threats to local cultures and identities.
*2. Arguments Against Unchecked Globalism:*
- *Cultural Erosion:* The influx of diverse cultures and global media can dilute and overshadow traditional English customs, language, and values.
- *Economic Displacement:* Mass immigration, particularly of low-skilled workers, can lead to wage stagnation, unemployment for native workers, and increased strain on public services and housing.
- *Community Cohesion:* Rapid demographic changes can lead to social tension, reduce community cohesion, and challenge the integration of newcomers into the existing cultural framework.
- *Heritage and Identity:* The unique historical and cultural heritage of the English people may be at risk of being overshadowed or lost amidst a global culture.
### Strategies for Cultural Survival and Heritage Preservation
*1. Legal and Policy Measures:*
- *Cultural Preservation Laws:* Enact and enforce laws that protect historical sites, cultural practices, and traditional languages. Support cultural festivals and heritage education.
- *Immigration Policies:* Implement immigration policies that balance the need for economic growth with the preservation of cultural and social cohesion. Prioritize skilled immigration that aligns with national needs.
- *Support for Native Traditions:* Provide funding and institutional support for the preservation and promotion of traditional English arts, crafts, folklore, and local dialects.
*2. Community Initiatives:*
- *Education and Awareness:* Promote education about English history, culture, and values in schools and communities. Encourage local history projects and cultural exchanges.
- *Cultural Centers:* Establish cultural centers and museums that celebrate and preserve English heritage. Organize events that highlight traditional customs, cuisine, and arts.
- *Local Empowerment:* Strengthen local governance and community initiatives that empower residents to maintain their cultural identity and address the impacts of globalization.
*3. Economic Measures:*
- *Support Local Businesses:* Encourage policies that support local businesses and traditional industries. Promote local produce, crafts, and services.
- *Fair Trade Practices:* Implement fair trade practices that protect domestic industries and workers from unfair competition and exploitation.
*4. National Identity and Unity:*
- *Promote National Pride:* Foster a sense of national pride and identity through public campaigns, national holidays, and the celebration of historical milestones.
- *Inclusive National Narrative:* Develop an inclusive narrative that respects diversity while emphasizing common values and heritage that unite all citizens.
### Philosophical and Ethical Considerations
*1. Rights and Responsibilities:*
Balancing the rights of individuals to move and live freely with the rights of native populations to preserve their culture and identity is crucial. The concept of negative rights—freedom from interference—applies here, ensuring that cultural preservation efforts do not infringe on individual liberties.
*2. Ethical Frameworks:*
- *John Locke's Natural Rights:* Locke’s philosophy underscores the importance of property rights and the protection of individual freedoms. These principles support the idea that English people have a right to preserve their cultural heritage and land.
- *John Stuart Mill’s Utilitarianism:* Mill’s emphasis on the greatest good for the greatest number can justify policies that protect the cultural and social fabric of society, ensuring long-term stability and prosperity.
### Conclusion
The English people, with their deep historical roots and rich cultural heritage, can be seen as a native first nation within their ancestral land. The challenges posed by globalization require a balanced approach that respects individual rights while actively preserving and promoting cultural identity. Through legal, policy, and community initiatives, England can navigate the complexities of modernity, ensuring that its unique heritage and identity endure for future generations.

If you know how to ask it so you get around censorship then it is amazing what ChatGPT can do:
### The Case for English People as Native First Nations Aboriginal People
The case for English people as native first nations aboriginal people rests on historical continuity, cultural heritage, ethnic identity, and a deep connection to their ancestral lands. Here is a detailed argument that supports this perspective:
### Historical and Cultural Roots
The English people have a profound connection to their land that spans thousands of years. This historical continuity and cultural heritage are integral to their identity, much like other indigenous groups around the world. Evidence of continuous settlement, cultural development, and societal structures in the British Isles dates back to the Neolithic era, showing a long and unbroken presence in the region.
### Arguments for English People as Native First Nations Aboriginal People
*Historical Continuity:*
The English have inhabited the British Isles since ancient times. Archaeological evidence shows a continuous human presence dating back thousands of years. This long-term settlement includes the development of distinct cultural practices, languages, and societal structures that have evolved in situ.
*Cultural Heritage:*
England's rich cultural heritage is deeply rooted in its unique historical experience. This includes the English language, literature, folklore, and traditions. Landmarks like Stonehenge and historical documents like the Magna Carta symbolize this enduring legacy and continuity.
*Ethnic Identity:*
The concept of indigenous people is often linked to ethnic identity and cultural practices. The English language, customs, and traditions form a distinct cultural identity that has evolved over millennia within the British Isles. The genetic makeup of modern English people shows a significant continuity with ancient populations in the region.
*Land and Ancestry:*
Indigenous status often includes a strong connection to ancestral lands. The English people’s ties to the landscape, historical sites, and regional identities (such as those in Cornwall, Yorkshire, etc.) reflect this deep-rooted connection. For two thousand years, immigration numbers were minimal, ensuring the preservation of this cultural and genetic continuity.
### The Challenge of Globalism
*Impact of Globalization:*
Globalization brings significant changes, including economic integration, cultural exchange, and demographic shifts. While it has benefits such as increased diversity and economic opportunities, it also poses threats to local cultures and identities.
*Arguments Against Unchecked Globalism:*
*Cultural Erosion:*
The influx of diverse cultures and global media can dilute and overshadow traditional English customs, language, and values. This threatens the unique cultural heritage that has been preserved over millennia.
*Economic Displacement:*
Mass immigration, particularly of low-skilled workers, can lead to wage stagnation and unemployment for native workers. It also places increased strain on public services and housing, affecting the quality of life for long-standing residents.
*Community Cohesion:*
Rapid demographic changes can lead to social tension and reduce community cohesion. The integration of newcomers into the existing cultural framework can be challenging and may create divisions.
*Heritage and Identity:*
The unique historical and cultural heritage of the English people may be at risk of being overshadowed or lost amidst a global culture. Preserving this heritage is essential for maintaining a sense of identity and continuity.
### Strategies for Cultural Survival and Heritage Preservation
*Legal and Policy Measures:*
*Cultural Preservation Laws:*
Enact and enforce laws that protect historical sites, cultural practices, and traditional languages. Support cultural festivals and heritage education to maintain and celebrate the English heritage.
*Immigration Policies:*
Implement immigration policies that balance the need for economic growth with the preservation of cultural and social cohesion. Prioritize skilled immigration that aligns with national needs while protecting the cultural fabric of the nation. This includes the necessity to end mass immigration and deport recent arrivals who do not assimilate or respect the native culture and values.
*Support for Native Traditions:*
Provide funding and institutional support for the preservation and promotion of traditional English arts, crafts, folklore, and local dialects.
*Community Initiatives:*
*Education and Awareness:*
Promote education about English history, culture, and values in schools and communities. Encourage local history projects and cultural exchanges to foster a deeper understanding and appreciation of the nation's heritage.
*Cultural Centers:*
Establish cultural centers and museums that celebrate and preserve English heritage. Organize events that highlight traditional customs, cuisine, and arts to keep the cultural practices alive.
*Local Empowerment:*
Strengthen local governance and community initiatives that empower residents to maintain their cultural identity and address the impacts of globalization. Local efforts can play a crucial role in preserving cultural heritage and fostering community cohesion.
*Economic Measures:*
*Support Local Businesses:*
Encourage policies that support local businesses and traditional industries. Promote local produce, crafts, and services to strengthen the local economy and preserve cultural practices.
*Fair Trade Practices:*
Implement fair trade practices that protect domestic industries and workers from unfair competition and exploitation. This ensures that economic prosperity benefits all strata of society while preserving national sovereignty and cultural heritage.
*National Identity and Unity:*
*Promote National Pride:*
Foster a sense of national pride and identity through public campaigns, national holidays, and the celebration of historical milestones. Emphasize the importance of cultural heritage and national unity in public discourse.
*Inclusive National Narrative:*
Develop an inclusive narrative that respects diversity while emphasizing common values and heritage that unite all citizens. This approach can help bridge divides and foster a shared sense of identity and purpose.
### Prioritizing Native Rights
*Native Rights and Primacy:*
To ensure the preservation of English culture and heritage, it is essential to prioritize the rights of native English people. This includes giving precedence to native citizens for housing, voting rights, and cultural preservation. It is crucial to demand that immigrants assimilate and respect the local culture and history. Refusing entry to those who do not share or respect these values is a necessary step to safeguard the nation's heritage.
*Safety and Security:*
Ensuring the safety of the native population is paramount. Policies must be implemented to protect citizens from those who pose a threat to the social fabric and cultural integrity of the nation. This includes stringent measures against individuals and groups that do not respect the culture, people, and land of England.
### Philosophical and Ethical Considerations
*Rights and Responsibilities:*
Balancing the rights of individuals to move and live freely with the rights of native populations to preserve their culture and identity is crucial. The concept of negative rights—freedom from interference—applies here, ensuring that cultural preservation efforts do not infringe on individual liberties.
*Ethical Frameworks:*
*John Locke's Natural Rights:*
Locke’s philosophy underscores the importance of property rights and the protection of individual freedoms. These principles support the idea that English people have a right to preserve their cultural heritage and land.
*John Stuart Mill’s Utilitarianism:*
Mill’s emphasis on the greatest good for the greatest number can justify policies that protect the cultural and social fabric of society, ensuring long-term stability and prosperity.
### Conclusion
The English people, with their deep historical roots and rich cultural heritage, can be seen as a native first nation within their ancestral land. The challenges posed by globalization require a balanced approach that respects individual rights while actively preserving and promoting cultural identity. Through legal, policy, and community initiatives, England can navigate the complexities of modernity, ensuring that its unique heritage and identity endure for future generations. The right to preserve a future for our people and children, where our ancient ancestral values are safe and where they too are safe to walk home at night, must be upheld. This is a call to stand together, drawing on our rich history and achievements, to secure the legacy of our great nation. Prioritizing the rights of native English people and ensuring their safety and cultural preservation is essential to maintaining the identity and integrity of the nation.

22:40 I'm autistic and I think 2TK is too, 'autdar' is a thing. I'm the Asch and Milgram Negative type, more erm... 'Uni Ted K' 😂 than the set which he's in.
He's in the obsessed with rules and regulations type set, all his legal time was spent on paperwork type activities. Yawn.
VERY ridgid, can't compromise or admit fault, absolutely dogmatic.
He always seems to be wearing a mask, putting on a persona, 'autistic masking' is a thing too, sure his unresponsive autistic face (i have the opposite type and can't play poker because of it) is not a poker face despite the mask, it is because hes that type of autist...
He's transactional in all relationships.
He doesn't dream, has no inner monologue, no favourite books or films. He's 😢an automaton without soul.
Also has some sociopathic traits...
FYI '2TK' IS PRAXIS of CRT think about it. It is legal theory from USA slipped in by MacPhearson Report onwards.

That's part of it, but then also we were never asked, we voted for less immigration, and then the "grooming gangs", the jihad-boom, the lootings and stabbings, modern slavery, honour killing, forced marriage, FGM, election fraud, sectarian voting patterns...

These politicians and elites have created the problem.
They were warned for decades about the issue with Islam but the Cassandras were castigated, the predictions have come true and now the police and the MPs are scared.
WE have been scared for decades, scared out of some areas of our native land, we dont get extra security and we didnt make the problem.
The politicians have let the problem grow and continue to do so seemingly emasculated by political correctness none of them have the stones to call out 'Voldemort' and say that The Emperor has no clothes
There have been plenty of opportunities to turn the ship around, 1979, Satanic Verses, Bradford Riots, Ray Honeyford, 9/11, 7/7, Lee Rigby, David Amess, Batley School Teacher and many more.
All these chats in Parliament and wherever else are just rhetoric, their actions or lack thereof tell a different story. They aren't serious about solutions to the problems created by their luxury beliefs, soon we will be gaoled for stating reality that the 'Emperor is Naked'.
We are passed the Land of Liberal Solutions, that time was 1989 Rushdie, but if the problem isn't excised now then it woll consimr the whole.
If they aren't doing repatriations, closing mosques and madrasas, flosing the sham islamic charities, ending Islamic faith schools, moratoriums on futher immigration and much more then they wont solve this.
Sad but true things that i never imagined I'd have to say.
This land has been ruined in the space of a generation or two.
It realy is treachery and im not sad that finally politicians are reaping the fruits of their rotten labour.

They keep lying about mass immigration, pretending that the only reason why we object to it is racism/xenophobia. I asked ChatGPT, the response shows that they are gaslighting and lying.
Mass immigration of low-skilled migrants can have multifaceted impacts on wage and productivity stagnation, as well as exacerbating housing emergencies. Here’s a detailed analysis:
Wage and Productivity Stagnation
1. Labor Market Dynamics
Increased Labor Supply: An influx of low-skilled workers increases the supply of labor, particularly in low-wage sectors such as agriculture, hospitality, and construction.
Wage Suppression: The higher supply of labor can lead to wage suppression as employers have access to a larger pool of workers willing to accept lower wages. This is particularly evident in industries where there is minimal need for specialized skills or education.
Job Competition: Native low-skilled workers face increased competition for jobs, which can further drive down wages and reduce bargaining power.
2. Impact on Productivity
Skill Mismatch: Low-skilled migrants may not possess the necessary skills or qualifications required for higher productivity jobs. This can lead to a concentration of workers in less productive sectors.
Training and Integration Costs: Businesses and governments may incur costs related to training and integrating low-skilled migrants into the workforce, which can offset potential productivity gains.
Innovation and Investment: An abundance of low-cost labor can reduce the incentive for businesses to invest in productivity-enhancing technologies and innovations. This can lead to stagnation in overall productivity growth.
Exacerbating the Housing Emergency
1. Increased Demand for Housing
Population Growth: Mass immigration contributes to rapid population growth, increasing the demand for housing in both urban and suburban areas.
Affordable Housing Shortage: The demand for affordable housing surges as low-skilled migrants often have lower incomes and seek affordable rental properties. This can exacerbate existing shortages in the affordable housing market.
2. Housing Market Pressures
Rising Rents and Property Prices: Increased demand can drive up rents and property prices, making housing less affordable for both migrants and native residents. This is particularly problematic in areas with already high housing costs and limited supply.
Overcrowding: Inadequate supply of affordable housing can lead to overcrowding, with multiple families or individuals sharing single housing units. This can strain local infrastructure and services.
3. Strain on Public Services
Social Housing: Increased demand for social housing can overwhelm local authorities, leading to longer waiting lists and increased competition for limited resources.
Homelessness: As housing becomes less affordable, the risk of homelessness increases, particularly among low-income families and individuals.
Case Studies and Examples
1. United Kingdom
Wage Impact: Studies in the UK have shown that the influx of low-skilled migrants from Eastern Europe following EU enlargement in 2004 had a modest but negative impact on wages for low-skilled native workers.
Housing Crisis: The UK has faced significant challenges in providing sufficient housing, with high levels of immigration contributing to demand pressures. London and other major cities have experienced sharp increases in rents and property prices.
2. United States
Labor Market Effects: Research indicates that while immigration has overall economic benefits, the influx of low-skilled migrants can negatively impact wages and employment opportunities for low-skilled native workers, particularly African Americans and other minority groups.
Housing Challenges: Cities with high levels of immigration, such as Los Angeles and New York, have faced acute housing shortages and rising costs, affecting both migrants and long-term residents.
Policy Responses
1. Housing Policy
Increased Housing Supply: Governments can address housing shortages by incentivizing the construction of new housing, particularly affordable units.
Zoning Reforms: Relaxing zoning laws and reducing bureaucratic barriers to construction can help increase the housing supply.
2. Labor Market Interventions
Minimum Wage Laws: Implementing or raising minimum wage laws can help protect low-skilled workers from wage suppression.
Skills Training: Investing in training and education for both native and migrant workers can help improve productivity and enable workers to move into higher-skilled, higher-paying jobs.
3. Immigration Policy
Managed Migration: Implementing policies that prioritize skilled migration can help balance labor market needs and reduce pressure on low-skilled sectors.
Integration Programs: Providing support for language and vocational training can help low-skilled migrants better integrate into the workforce and contribute to productivity growth.
In summary, while mass immigration of low-skilled migrants can provide economic benefits, it also poses challenges related to wage stagnation, productivity, and housing shortages. Addressing these issues requires a comprehensive approach that includes housing policy reforms, labor market interventions, and managed immigration strategies.
