An unrecognisable Britain... How did we ever get to this?

Exclusive: Highly disturbing evidence - and serious questions for Sir Keir Starmer

'From the rivers of hate to our streets'

Yesterday saw demonstrations for Gaza across the UK, of a kind which is deeply offensive to the vast majority of the British people. Not only did these people appear to rejoice in the mass slaughter that took place in southern Israel two years ago on 07 October 2023, these demonstrations took place only days after the burial of the victims of the Manchester terrorist.

In this report, we present evidence of a constant barrage of calls for global jihad from ISIS and Al-Qaeda, directed at young British Muslims and calling for young people from states closest to Europe to travel north in order to enter EU countries and the UK in order to commit atrocities there.

Questions for the Government

This was happening prior to the recognition at the United Nations of the State of Palestine by Sir Keir Starmer, who is mentioned by name in one of the newsletters from ISIS and Al-Qaeda, and has continued since.

We look at the actions of the British Government and ask whether they did all they could to protect the Jewish community, in the light of the information we have seen and which they will also have in their possession.

This has now led to questions from senior politicians as to why the level of security for British Jews in particular was not stepped up prior to the Manchester attack, which left two dead and four seriously injured, in a car-ramming and knife outrage.

“I understand that three days before Kier Starmer recognised a Palestinian state, Islamic State (ISIS) Weekly Editorial Called For Global Jihad Against Jews and Christians in Britain and other European countries, reported by MEMRI.

“Why, given that the government must have known this serious threat aimed at Jews in Britain, didn’t the Labour government add significant security to Jewish Synagogues and other security measures? Surely a significant and dangerous failure of government?”

- The Rt Hon Sir Iain Duncan Smith MP, 03 October 2025

The evidence and its extremist nature

The source material that follows is the copyright of the highly respected, Washington-headquartered organisation called The Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), to which we are grateful for special permission to use selected quotations and images. Their assistance has been invaluable in preparing this report.

It should be stated very clearly that nothing in this report is in any way directed at the majority of perfectly law-abiding members of the community who are Islamic. The concerns expressed relate to the increasingly extremist factions which have been allowed to develop and flourish; those who are called Islamists. Under the current government in particular, there appears to have been a blind acceptance of this and a lack of any sense of urgency regarding the fear in which the British Jewish community have been living.

The indoctrination of young Muslims

In the months leading up to the terrorist attack on the Heaton Park Synagogue in Manchester, the evidence clearly shows that Imams have been calling for a global jihad against Jews and Christians in the United Kingdom and other western countries.

This has been happening in mosques in the UK as well as in podcasts from around the world, watched online. They are included in weekly newsletters from organisers and supporters of ISIS and from a renascent Al-Qaeda. The preachings have urged action from British Muslims and they have also called on believers to travel to Europe and to the UK as asylum seekers in order to commit terrorist acts.

Islamic State (ISIS) Weekly Editorial calls for Global Jihad against Jews and Christians in Britain, in support of Gaza

On September 18, 2025, the Islamic State (ISIS) released the latest issue of Al-Naba , its weekly newsletter. It urges Muslims to launch attacks on Jews and Christians in the West and singles out the UK by name. The following is taken from the MEMRI report.

"Away from the political debates that have engulfed the Palestinian arena since the British invasion and until the banner of shari'a is raised there, the general Muslim population in Palestine today is exposed to the ugliest forms of Jewish injustice and aggression, which obligates their Muslim brothers in the East and the West to support them, each according to his ability, starting with those closest to them and then those closest to them."

It goes on to say the first targets should be Jewish and Christian communities in Western countries.

"The first: the endeavor of Muslim youth to carry out bold, courageous operations targeting Jewish and Christian gatherings and neighborhoods everywhere. Especially in the Crusader European countries such as Belgium, France, Britain, and others… [Quoting the Quran] Allah Almighty says: And kill them wherever you find them…

"If a Muslim grasps this goal… let him set out with Allah's blessing and choose the closest and richest targets. How wonderful are their holidays, and how many there are!

It should be noted that the Manchester attacker, Jihad al-Shamie, a 35-year-old naturalised British citizen born in Syria, committed his atrocity on the most precious of all Jewish holidays, Yom Kippur. Living in nearby Prestwich, he did indeed choose one of the ‘closest and richest targets’ – the Synagogue at Heaton Park where the local Jewish community were congregating.

Don't leave this to someone else. You are that 'someone else'.

A week later, and this time it’s Al-Qaeda urging Jihad and criticising Starmer’s recognition of Palestine

The above from ISIS was issued just before Sir Keir Starmer recognised a Palestinian state. What follows comes from an Al-Qaeda associate a week later, after Sir Keir had addressed the UN General Assembly.

This comes from the Shahada News Agency, an official media outlet of Al-Qaeda's Somalian affiliate and is dated 24 September.

They describe the rush to recognize Palestine as “a new game”, and that it was done to prevent Islamic revolutions in Arab states. The summary states ” The statehood announcement by the UK and other countries came in response to these fears.”

They are even more dismissive of President Macron, describing the French recognition as "filthy political maneuver involving hidden plans and dishonest intentions."

Returning to the attack on the UK, the summary notes that Sir Keir Starmer stressed the UK would ensure that a Palestinian state would not threaten Israel, that it would be demilitarized, and that parties such as Hamas which do not renounce violence would not be allowed to participate in elections. The response from this Al-Qaeda associate organization was clear: "the West's belligerence to Muslims has become clear as day." He went on to declare that: "there can be no peace in the Islamic world until the Zionist entity is eliminated."

In summary, Sir Keir’s action in recognising a Palestinian state has simply inflamed the extremists, and the calls for global jihad - including UK targets - continue.

The indoctrination of young British Muslims in Britain

The above comes on top of months of imams in British mosques whose words can only be described as deeply shocking. The Facts4EU and CIBUK teams have watched these videos and it is clear that fundamentalist Islamist preachings are common in mosques in the UK, with the epicentre being Birmingham. In them, imams are seen calling for the destruction not only of the State of Israel and of all Jews but of the societies of all western countries including the UK. They promise that the entire world will be ruled by Islam.

The global nature of this movement is clear from imams from other countries appearing in these British mosques and preaching extremist forms of Islam, which places it firmly as an extremist political creed rather than a religion. One imam from the US is seen giving a lecture in Birmingham, saying:

“The future is ours; every EDL [English Defence League] nightmare of a Muslim Europe will come true. They can get mad if they want, I don't care….

“…Islam will enter every house, inshallah, but we have to be a part of that change.… We're unapologetic. Never, ever compromise. We're uncompromising. Never, ever water down this religion…

“And may Allah, the praised and exalted, give us all a life upon the deen [religion], and a death upon the deen, and accept us as shohada [martyrs]. Ameen."

It is the reference to ‘shohada’ (martyrs) - which occurs frequently in these teachings - that is particularly chilling. It should be noted that Islamist terror attacks wrought on the United Kingdom have involved young men prepared to sacrifice their own lives in committing their atrocities, as occurred at the Manchester synagogue on Yom Kippur last Thursday.

'From the rivers of hate to our streets' – the weekly takeover of British cities by pro-Palestinian protestors

Above is an example of a pro-Palestinian demonstration with the speaker clearly inciting violence. Unfortunately this is one of many examples, including overtly antisemitic banners and speeches. There have been marches with some of those taking part setting off rockets (of the firework variety).

The double standards in the policing of these demonstrations and marches has been clear to see, not just in recent weeks, but increasingly for more than 12 months.

The demonstrations yesterday evening, on the second anniversary of the October 7th massacres, and so soon after the bodies of the victims of Thursday’s attack in Manchester had been laid to rest, is a disgraceful culmination of what we have evidenced above.

Observations

The changing fabric of society

There is a fast-growing sense amongst the public that our society has become increasingly fragmented due to the levels of immigration over many years. The attitude of successive governments has been to shy away from such subjects. To the extent to which this subject has been addressed, in previous years this has mostly resulted in some vague statements, without truly confronting any of the problems, the actions needed, and the consequences if nothing were done.

More recently, under this Government, the extent of the criticisms of the Israeli government and the actions taken against it have exacerbated the situation considerably.

One of the consequences of all of this occurred last Thursday, 02 October 2025, at the worship at the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation synagogue in Manchester.

The subsequent demonstrations which took place last night are a stain on the fabric of traditional British society and the values held by the vast majority. The police continue to act on ‘offensive’ tweets, yet widescale aggressive demonstrations and incitement to violence are allowed.

An alien, extremist ideology with its aim being nothing less than the complete and violent overthrow of our entire civilisation has been allowed free rein. Urgent action is now required to eradicate this from our streets, our schools and universities, and our places of worship.

A more attractive alternative – that of a free society respecting each other’s’ differences but integrating far more than is currently the case – must be offered and promoted. This will require tough action and charismatic leadership.

Therein lies the problem.
