[When Hamas terrorists gleefully recorded themselves
kidnapping, raping and killing Israeli civilians on
October 7 2023, their actions were accompanied
by unmistakeable cries of ‘Allahu Akbar!’
The same is true of Taliban fighters in Afghanistan,
and of Islamic extremists the world over.
The phrase, meaning God is great, has become,
I’m afraid, their battle cry.
So when
Mothin Ali, the newly
elected Leeds City councillor
for the Green Party,
who celebrated his win with the
same victory cry, claims that criticism
of his behaviour amounts to
‘Islamophobia’, he is being more than
a little disingenuous.
Yes, to many Muslims it is simply an exclamation
of religious fervour, but he must know full
well what associations those words also
have for survivors and families of the victims
of Islamist atrocities, for Jews in Britain — and for all
of us who fear the rise of religious extremism.
They are, as the young people say,
a bit of a trigger.]
