Britain is rapidly Islamizing, and the transformation is taking place quickly now: “The Islamization of Britain is Almost Complete,” by Janet Levy, American Thinker, March 22, 2026:
The extent to which the British government is willing to accommodate Muslim practices is clear in its choice to normalize cousin marriage, ignoring scientific evidence that shows it increases the risk of inheriting recessive disorders. According to a Bradford study, the rate of cousin or relative marriage among immigrant Muslims reaches as high as 46%. This practice is banned in Norway and most American states and is set to be banned in Sweden. Last year, Conservative MP Richard Holden proposed a bill for a similar ban in the U.K.
Cousin-marriage is prevalent in Muslim societies where trust is low, and people choose to marry relatives, especially first cousins, which ensures that property brought to the marriage will remain within the extended family. The effect on health, however, is disastrous. Such a small genetic pool leads to a large number of babies born with genetic defects. To treat such defects has become hideously expensive for the National Health Service. It is British taxpayers who pay for the insistence of so many Muslims to practice cousin marriage.
MP Richard Holden, of course, is quite right in wanting to ban cousin marriage. Instead the British government issued a report on the nonexistent “benefits” of cousin marriage; a huge outcry then forced the government to withdraw it. But the NHS has engaged in a campaign to hire nurses who will specialize in supporting families where cousin-marriage is being practiced, when it should be directing its efforts at stamping out that practice altogether. Cousin-marriage is outlawed in China, North Korea, South Korea, the Philippines, for Hindus in many jurisdictions of India, and in some European countries in the Balkans, as well as in Belgium and Lithuania. It is also banned in 30 of the 50 U.S. states. The reason is always the same: to avoid the disastrous numbers of babies born, as a result of cousin marriages, with congenital defects that are tremendously expensive to treat over a patient’s lifetime. There is no good reason for the U.K. not to follow suit.
Let’s imagine that future Islamized Great Britain that, if nothing drastic is done, will likely come to pass well before the next century. Muslim rule would not require a Muslim majority; even if Muslims constitute far less than a majority, they vote as a solid bloc, and are adept at making alliances with the left that everywhere in Europe has chosen to join forces with Muslims, most notably in France where the communist head of the party La France Insoumise, Jean-Luc Mélenchon, is firmly in the Muslim camp. The left has supported Muslim candidates and the Muslim cause par excellence — that is, the goal of destroying Israel and replacing it with the state of “Palestine” from the river to the sea. Just look at how Sadiq Khan became mayor of London, and has been twice re-elected. Muslims make up only 15% of the London population, but have managed to obtain the support of the left, and together they have elected, and twice re-elected, Mayor Khan, whose solicitude for Muslim Londoners is well known.
Imagine Sharia laws supplanting the English common law. In Family Law, will husbands be allowed take up to four wives? Will husbands be allowed to divorce their wives by use of the triple-talaq? Or in Estate Law, will male heirs automatically receive twice as much as female heirs? In Criminal Law, will the testimony of male witnesses be worth twice that of female witnesses? Will homosexuality be outlawed, and its practice punishable by death, as happens in Iran and many other Muslim countries? How brides be as young as Muhammad’s favorite wife, with whom he consummated his marriage when she was nine and he was 54?
So many unsettling changes to look forward to, as Britain, and continental Europe as well, inexorably Islamizes. For example, across Europe Muslim students have caused ruckuses when forced to study certain subjects, such as the Crusades, the history of the Jews, the history of Christianity in Europe, and the Nazi murders of six million Jews. The indiscipline that results has led some schools to submit to Muslim demands, and to spend much less time on such subjects or even to remove them altogether from the history curriculum. Such pressures can only grow pari passu with the inexorable growth in the Muslim population — there are now 47 million of them in Europe.
