As UK Slams Trump for “Islamaphobic Tweets,” Their Terror Levels Hit Record High

Despite complaints from U.K. officials about President Donald Trump’s decision this week to retweet the allegedly “anti-Muslim” video posts of a British anti-Islam activist, evidence suggests both Trump and the activist he retweeted have valid points about radical Islam’s presence in Europe — and especially the U.K.

In a stunning report published Wednesday, The Guardian revealed that “the number of people arrested for terrorism-linked offences (in the U.K.) rose by more than two-thirds to a record 379 in the 12 months to June — one of the most intense periods for terrorist attacks in recent history.”

Of those 379 suspects, nearly a third were eventually charged with terrorism offenses, while nearly 18 percent still face further investigation.

The publication of this report occurred on the same day that Trump retweeted three video posts from British activist Jayda Fransen, the deputy leader of British First, a reportedly “far-right” political party that opposes mass migration.

One of the video posts showed radical Muslims pushing a teenage boy off a roof and then beating him to death, while the second video showed Muslims destroying a statue of the Virgin Mary. According to The Daily Wire, the first video was shot in Egypt five years ago, while the second video was shot in Syria one year later. In a third video retweet, a Dutch boy could be seen beating up another Dutch boy, though Fransen mistakenly claimed one of the boys was Muslim.

Following the U.S. president’s retweets, a number of prominent British officials condemned Trump, including Sadiq Khan, the mayor of London.

British Prime Minister Theresa May chimed in as well, decrying Britain First as “a hateful organization” that “seeks to sow division and hate and mistrust in our communities,” according to ABC News. “It stands in opposition to our fundamental values we hold as a country.”

But as noted by Robert Spencer, a Fox News contributor known for his criticisms of Islam, those castigating Trump seemed more focused on whom he retweeted versus the actual content of the tweets.

“I have not seen any Muslim spokesmen say, ‘There is a problem (in Islam) we need to deal with,’” he said in a statement to Breitbart. “They are all just criticizing Trump. … (Former President Barack) Obama did everything he could to whitewash the image of Islam — Trump is calling attention to atrocities that are committed in the name of name of Islam.”

As well as the rise of radicalism across the world, but especially so in the U.K.

‘This Bloodshed Will End’ — Trump Vows ‘To Do What Is Necessary’ To Keep Terror From American Shores

“This bloodshed must end. This bloodshed will end. As president, I will do what is necessary to prevent this threat from spreading to our shores and work every single day to protect the security of our country, our communities and our people.”

The president stressed the need for his proposed travel ban after the London terror attacks on Saturday that left seven people dead and at least 48 others injured. The travel ban is currently held up in court.

“We need to be smart, vigilant and tough. We need the courts to give us back our rights,” Trump stated in the aftermath of Saturday’s attacks.  “We need the Travel Ban as an extra level of safety!”

BOOM: New UK PM Horrifies Terrorists With Cold Announcement About Nuclear Strike

Theresa May recently had her first debate in the British House of Commons since being named Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. What she said showed true leadership and conviction — something our current president could learn from. When asked if she would be prepared to kill innocent people if she had to give an order to use nuclear weapons, her response was simple:

“Yes.”

She couldn’t be any more clear than that. May was formerly the home secretary and it seems as if her prior experience has given her some insight on what to do when faced with threat of terrorism.

During the commons debate there was discussion regarding renewing the Trident nuclear deterrent. As May joined in on the discussion, she was asked by another Parliament member: “Can we cut to the chase? Is she personally prepared to authorize a nuclear strike that can kill 100,000 innocent men, women and children?”

May quickly and unequivocally responded that she was prepared to make that call if she had to.

If they thought that because she was a woman she might be expected to be a little emotional at the mention of innocent children, they learned instead that she is a true leader. Her comments came in stark contrast to what President Barack Obama has said about avoiding the regrettable but sometimes necessary loss of innocent lives in a time of war.

“And I have to say to you, the whole point of a deterrent is that our enemies need to know that we would be prepared to,” May added. “Unlike some suggestions that we could have a nuclear deterrent but not actually be wiling to use it, which come from the Labour Party front bench.”
