‘Party of Islam’ registers as new political party in UK
A new political party named the Party of Islam registered this month with the United Kingdom’s Electoral Commission.
On October 13th, six days after Muslims massacred thousands of Israelis, the election regulator published a list of several political parties applying to enter UK politics. One of them is the Party of Islam, which claims it “has been created to help all of the minority [sic] in the land of Great Britain have a voice” and “will make sure that all problems which lingure [sic] in the great country of Great Britain is [sic] defeated.”
The party’s logo contains the Islamic emblem — the quarter-moon and star — and features the slogan “Freedom is a must.”
While the Electoral Commission notes on its website that it is “currently considering” the listed parties, it is expected to approve the Party of Islam.
In a video posted to X Sunday, Britain First Party Leader Paul Golding warned that the Party of Islam is likely to become the third most powerful party in Britain.
“Just look at the scale of the votes this party is going to inherit,” said Golding. “According to reasonable, sensible estimates in this country, there’s probably four million Muslim voters, approximately. Let’s just say that three million of those Muslims vote for the Party of Islam. Overnight, the Party of Islam will be the third-largest, the third-strongest political party in Britain. Overnight. They will command a huge chunk of Parliament going forward.”
But the political leader says there is a silver lining because the Islamic party will launch a war against the Labour Party and Left wokeism in general, including what Golding calls “LGBT poison.”
According to surveys, over half of British Muslims openly believe same sex attraction (SSA) should be illegal, and nearly half believe one who struggles with SSA should not be allowed to teach in schools. In a 2009 study, 100% of British Muslims surveyed called SSA immoral. In 2013, 400 Muslim leaders in the UK published an open letter opposing a bill legalizing same-sex marriage. In February, the Association of British Muslims expressed “deep concern” about the Church of England’s embrace of gender ideology and asserted that marriage should only be between a man and a woman.
But while such sentiment would normally be categorized as “hate” and carry harsh repercussions, it is accepted and even respected by British authorities as an integral part of Islam.
This could be attributed to the high level of Muslim integration in British society. Comprising 6.5% of the population in England and Wales, they are the second largest religious group. At least nineteen Muslims serve in the British Parliament, and Muslim Labour Party member Sadiq Khan has been serving as London’s mayor for nearly a decade. The Muslim name “Mohammed” has been the most popular name for baby boys in England for the last seven years.
But Islamic financial interests in the UK, which began to surge in the seventies, may also be a large factor in the British government’s attitude towards its Muslim citizens.
Qatar, for instance, is the tenth largest landowner in the UK, with 23 million square feet of Britain belonging to the Qatari government. Kuwait is estimated to own roughly £17 billion ($22 billion) in British assets, including shares in British Petroleum, Vodafone, and HSBC. British investments of Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and the UAE total over £140 billion ($181 billion). The British government also reportedly owes Iran a debt of £400 million ($517 million).
The UK accounts for about 85% of all Islamic banking assets in Europe, according to estimates, more than any other European country (excluding Turkey). There are at least five banks in the UK fully compliant with Sharia law. According to TheCityUK, “the UK is the main hub for Islamic banking in the Western world.”
In July the British government gave billionaire Asif Aziz — considered the seventh richest Muslim in the UK — the green light to convert London’s landmark Trocadero complex into a three-story mosque.
