Britain Has Become “A Cesspit of Islamists,” Says UNESCO Ambassador
The Nigerian United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) Goodwill Ambassador, Wole Soyinka, has slammed the Labour/Tory-created Britain as a “cesspit of Islamists” which breeds worldwide terrorism.
The shocking — but accurate — description was made by Mr Soyinka, a Nobel laureate and political activist, in an interview published on the US news and opinion website The Daily Beast.
According to Mr Soyinka, Britain is a “cesspit and breeding ground for fundamentalist Muslims,” which “allows the existence of indoctrination schools.”
Mr Soyinka pointed out Britain’s role in fuelling Islamist terrorism.
He said that the 1989 fatwa issued by Ayatollah Khomeini against Salman Rushdie meant that the assumption of power over life and death had passed “to every inconsequential Muslim in the world.
“It all began when he assumed the power of life and death over the life of a writer. This was a watershed between doctrinaire aggression and physical aggression. There was an escalation. The assumption of power over life and death then passed to every single inconsequential Muslim in the world — as if someone had given them a new stature.
“Al-Qaida is the descendant of this phenomenon. The proselytisation of Islam became vigorous after this. People went to Saudi Arabia. Madrasas were established everywhere.”
When asked what he thought of his homeland of Nigeria being added to the watch list of countries deemed to be incubating terrorists after the failed attempts of Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab to bomb an airliner in December, Mr Soyinka said that this was “an irrational, knee-jerk reaction by the Americans.
“The man did not get radicalised in Nigeria. It happened in England, where he went to university.
“England is a cesspit. England is the breeding ground of fundamentalist Muslims. Its social logic is to allow all religions to preach openly. But this is illogic, because none of the other religions preach apocalyptic violence. And yet England allows it. Remember, that country was the breeding ground for Communism, too. Karl Marx did all his work in libraries there,” he said.
Mr Soyinka said that Muslims were being radicalised early in their lives in Britain.
“I doubt you can have the kind of indoctrination schools in America as you do in the UK,” he said.
