Taha claimed Islamists ‘control the whole narrative’Political analyst Amjad Taha has claimed on GB News there are more extremists in the UK than in the Middle East.
He joined Camilla Tominey on the People’s Channel to discuss the rising threat of extremism in Britain, which he feels has now reached an alarming level.
Taha claimed Islamists “control the whole narrative” which has led to the rise of antisemitism.
He told GB News: “I think you have more extremists in the UK than you have in the Middle East. Absolutely”, he said.“The things Islamists say in various mosques we have seen online. The terminology they use and statements they make would not be allowed in Afghanistan.
“The Muslim Brotherhood, who are the Islamists, the main ones are the ones ruling and controlling various press when it comes to the Muslim society.
“They control the whole narrative and the Islamists use freedom of speech in a manner where they will be antisemite in the name of freedom of speech.
“I absolutely stand against that, antisemitism is not an opinion, it’s a crime and a crime against humanity. On the 7 October, when the genocide against Israelis happened, what we witnessed was Islamists in places like Birmingham showing voices for Hamas.
“Hamas is the armed forces of the Muslim Brotherhood. Muslim Brotherhood is banned in my country, the UAE (United Arab Emirates), but it’s not banned in the UK. They use the freedom of speech to censor your right to speak against them.
“For example, when you use the term ‘Islamophobia’, it’s just to stop you from criticising Islamists or the Muslim Brotherhood.”
It was revealed in January that eight organisations in the UK have been deemed terror groups by the UAE over alleged links to the Muslim Brotherhood.
The country’s approved ‘local terror list’ sees individuals and organisations handed travel and financial sanctions for their alleged support of terrorism.
The Muslim Brotherhood is not banned in the UK or proscribed as a terrorist organisation.
Taha suggested on GB News that the UAE’s heavy-handed measures towards the organisation suggests the country as a whole is stricter on terrorism than the UK.
