Britain has woken up to a victory by the Greens in the Gorton and Denton by-election. The Greens’ Hannah Spencer, a 34 year-old plumber, now becomes the Member of Parliament for the constituency which has been Labour since 1931. Labour was pushed into third place with Reform coming second.
There are claims that this election was corrupted by Muslims voting many times as families. Whether or not this charge of mass illegality turns out to be true, it’s clear that Muslims and disenchanted Labour supporters voted for the Greens as the party that unequivocally works for the destruction of Israel, and promises the kind of ludicrous, nihilistic, anti-western, left-wing agenda that accords with the total destruction of patriotism, knowledge and reason among young people.
The Green candidate in Gorton and Denton was photographed wearing a keffiyeh, and fronted a video produced entirely in Urdu which included shots of Israel’s prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and India’s prime minister Narendra Modi meeting Labour politicians —smearing all of them as villains to chill the blood in the cartoon nightmare of the Greens’ political pitch.
Britain is now facing a red/black/green alliance — the left, the Muslims and the revolutionary, west-hating, Zionophobic Greens — versus Reform and the Conservatives, who are trying to destroy each other and thus risk wiping out in the process the defence of Britain and the west. It’s what might reasonably be thought a cultural and political emergency — otherwise known as chickens coming home to roost with a bang.
I have warned about this anti-west alliance for years. In my 2010 book The World Turned Upside Down: The Global Battle over God, Truth and Power, I devoted an entire chapter to “The Red-Black-Green-Islamic Axis”. “Black” in this case is the fascists, who have always been joined at the hip to the left and who today have become indistinguishable from them in a number of respects. These neo-fascists have emerged in America on the Tucker Carlson wing of the MAGA movement.
Because this chapter sheds considerable light on what has now emerged in Britain, and explains that the apparently baffling alliance between Islamists and “progressive” Greens and leftists is not an attraction of opposites but the expression of their common roots and shared goals, I reproduce an edited extract here.

The Red-Black-Green-Islamic Axis
One reason why people find it so difficult to acknowledge the resurgence of antisemitism in the west is that hatred of Jews is associated with ‘the far right’. Those who are deeply hostile to Israel are often also deeply hostile to the ‘far right’. They believe that this stands for obscurantism, irrationality, prejudice, a backward-looking attitude to a golden age in the past that never was. The left, by contrast in their view, stands for enlightenment and progress, liberalism, reason and modernity.
Thus those left-wingers and liberals who march against Israel and America, promote the green agenda and raise the standard of atheistic reason against religious superstition think of themselves as left-wing, progressive and enlightened. Their Manichean approach means they define themselves in large measure by what they are not.
So the left portrays itself historically as heroic fighters against fascism. Except it’s not as simple as that. Indeed, this division is itself ignorant, ahistorical and unsustainable.

Judaism is 4000 years old. Thousands of years later, envious religion-makers have visions or find golden plates or hear voices....
Muslims have a morality which means lying and other unethical practices are Ok to beat the enemy -Western culture and Christianity . The propaganda of Hamas in the Gazan war illustrates this .
Re: Anon 951: Islam actually has a doctrine in which they refer to Christians as fellow "people of the book" (also Jews). Islam distinguishes between the Abrahamic religions of which it itself is one, and religions outside that cluster such as Hinduism that it dismissively refers to as pagan (or some other derogatory term). Islam does not regard Christianity as "the enemy" but rather as a misguided cousin. Of course we all know how some extremist groups such as ISIS treat anyone not of their belief set (including fellow Muslims) but that is not a reflection of Islamic doctrine or law which states that fellow "people of the book" must be treated with respect.
Barrend claims Islam is an ‘Abrahamic religion.
Bollocks!
Islam is not “one of the three great Abrahamic religions" as claimed by Islamic deceivers and their dhimmi socialist ecumenical Christian apologists.
When Muhammad first started preaching, he was trying to persuade the Jews and Christians of the truth [sic] of his claim to being the final prophet in the line of Jewish prophets.
Muhammad plagiarised his scriptures from the Jewish Torah and Christian New Testament, painted him self into a central role, then asserted that the Jews and Christians had originally received the Koran but corrupted their scriptures, which he was now correcting.
Though a lifelong illiterate, before declaring himself a prophet, Muhammad had captained numerous trading caravans, acquiring his bible stories around the campfire when his caravans overnighted with Jewish and Christian merchant caravans.
This explains why the Meccans who’d heard the same bible stories from Jews and Christians in their correct form derided Muhammad as "this forger." They were well-aware he'd made it all
Anon 206, some what you say is probably more or less correct but it does not negate the observation that Islam is an Abrahamic religion.
As any introductory text to CompReli will tell you, the Abrahamic faiths are, to quote Google AI, "... a group of monotheistic faiths that claim spiritual or genealogical descent from the biblical patriarch Abraham. These religions share a belief in one all-powerful Creator and emphasize a covenantal relationship between God and humanity." Nothing 'bollocks' about that, old chap.
Hence the 'people of the book' doctrine in Islam too.
Oh, and you'd better check out some of your sources, as mine claim that the Meccans who rejected Muhammed were pagans - this episode occurred early on.
The Meccans who rejected Muhammad did so on the basis that the more educated among them knew his claims of prophethood and his ‘scriptures’ were fraudulent.
Mo refers to Jews and Christians as ‘People of the Book’ to bolster his claim to being the final prophet in the line of Jewish prophets who was restoring their scriptures in correct form after Jews and Christians corrupted what had initially been received.
Mo was initially wel-disposed towards the Jews until the Jews of Yathrib (Medina) refused to accept Islam and ridiculed his false claims.
Then he turned against the Jews, describing them as “the offspring of apes and pigs,” and cursing them both in this world and the next.
The Koran contains multiple passages that describe Jews as being cursed by Allah for their disobedience and for rejecting the prophets. Koran 2:61 states: “And humiliation and wretchedness were stamped upon them and they were visited with wrath from Allah.”
Koran 6.82 says: “ You will find the most intense of the people in animosity toward the believers [to be] the Jews … “
Muslims believe that in rhe Emd Times, the Mahdi and Jesus will return, and the Jews and Christians will be exterminated, leaving only Muslims.
Muslim Jew-hatred is reflected in various Hadith, such as the one that is part of the Hamas Charter: “The Day of Judgement will not come until Muslims fight the Jews, when the Jews will hide behind stones and trees. The stones and trees will say ‘O Muslim, there is a Jew behind me, come and slaughter him.’”
The only thing true about Mo’s claims is that the Arabs are descended from Ishmael, fathered by Abraham on the slave girl Hagar, the pair of them being driven out into the desert after Abraham’s wife Sarah gave birth to Isaac.
"He will be a wild donkey of a man, "his hand against everyone" is a prophecy from Genesis 16:12, predicting a life of conflict for Ishmael and his descendants.
No way could that refer to the Arabs, Berend, am I right?
Anon, this exchange began when you objected to my use of the established standard term "Abrahamic religions" to include Islam. The aetiological and eschatological stuff isn't of any great interest to me (except insofar as it explains certain people's attitudes to this day) and really has nothing to do with the term, which simply refers to the fact that Judaism, Christianity and Islam (and Baha'i) recognise the same line of prophets beginning with Abraham/Ibrahim. It's just an matter of nomenclature.
I object to the acceptance of Muhammad’s self-serving fabrications bringing Islam in under the ambit of ‘Abrahamic religions’ thus allowing Islam to masquerade as closely akin to Judaism an Christianity, which it is not.
Islam co-opts—then denies—the essential aspects of both faiths it plagiarised.
Anon218, you need to do some introductory reading on the history of religions and how we categorise them.
Islam recognises the same line of prophets starting with Ibrahim/Abraham as do Judaism and Christianity (Islam adds Jesus to the list; to Christians, Jesus is of course more than a prophet). That common starting point is why we call it 'Abrahamic'. That's not a fabrication but a statement of simple historical fact.
Islam claims to be the 'final revelation' and therefore a step above the other two on the revelation ladder, so it would not wish to 'masquerade' as either of the inferior two. "Co-opts then denies essential attributes....." ??? Explain. I only did a Reli minor at varsity, I can't follow your line of reasoning.
But go ahead and draft a letter to the editor of every CompReli textbook, and every Reli Studies academic journal, explaining to them why the nomenclature we have used for a century plus is wrong.
