This is Shahid Butt.
He is a convicted terrorist who plotted to bomb the British consulate in Yemen and an Anglican Church.
He is standing for election in Birmingham, in a seat that is 91% ethnic minority and 70% Muslim.
He will likely win.
A jihadi fighter who joined terror cells to fight in Afghanistan and Bosnia is going to be influencing the laws, culture, and heritage of Britain.
A violent extremist who plotted the destruction of British lives is going to be entrusted with the lives of British constituents.
An Islamic terrorist stands a high chance of being elected to public office in Britain.
Shahid demonstrated his hatred for our nation when he tried to bomb our government buildings and slaughter our people. How on earth is he now allowed to walk the same corridors of power he once tried to destroy?
It isn’t a case of “if” he wins.
Because, he will.
If Shahid Butt is not removed from the running, he will win, because he is standing in an area where “British values” are already being challenged and taken as an enemy to Islamic culture.
Butt’s campaign is driven by the ethos of settler colonialism. To eliminate, displace, or assimilate the original inhabitants of an area, to establish the settlers as the new demographic majority, and to achieve ethnic and cultural homogeneity.
And it is why he will win.
Plain and simple.
Whether by da’wah or by jihad, it is the mission of radical Islam to achieve total ideological supremacy. The aim is not to coexist with alternate religions and cultures, but rather to achieve a singular Islamic society, free from kuffars and infidels, by any means necessary.
Take it from Shahid himself, who speaks to this day of the Islamic duty to fight non-believers, to go to battle for Islam, and to be martyrs for the cause. It is a war. A violent, bloody, brutal war which will only be won when every corner of the globe is claimed by Islam.
HOW IS THIS ALLOWED?
He should have been stripped of his residency rights and immediately deported.
Instead, he is still on British soil and running for public office in the same country he tried to destroy. British taxpayers are going to be paying the salary of a man who plotted our destruction.
And we are letting it happen.
Let that sink in.
