Because the moment they do, you will have members of the House of Lords now, at least eight members of Parliament now, large sections of the British media, as well as people in mosques condemn

the potential of someone coming up and taking a voice against the Muslim Brotherhood's ideologues in Britain.

You'll be attacked as being a sellout.

You'll be attacked as being... All kinds of racial terms are used.

And then, I speak from personal experience, they sue you, they come after your assets, they target your family members.

You become a pariah.

And inside mosques, you're lampooned as...

being against the community again, the Muslim community, which I just think is total nonsense because why should I be, and again, from personal experience, why do I feel much more at home now among Muslims here in America or among Muslims in today's Egypt, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Turkey, Kuwait, countries I visit, totally at home,

because of this position against the Muslim Brotherhood.

But the moment I'm in the UK and I criticize the Muslim Brotherhood, suddenly, you know, online and physically, I have fingers pointing at me saying, you're a sellout.

I mean, what am I selling out to?

UK is my country, the West is my inheritance, and our Arab friends are...

both family and allies of us, and Islam is our inheritance.

And what am I selling out to?

Because the political ideology is so deeply ingrained.

It's also the victimhood point you made earlier, Francis,

know we can only vote labor or green and you know uh you know to be totally blunt it's a it's a racism of low expectations that you know this is your place know your place and stick to it this is who you vote for this is your narrative this is what we expect you to say this is who you must protest against these are the riots that you must participate in if you defy any of that

How dare you?

We will call you a sellout and we will call you a government stooge.

And that's the kind of pathetic, ugly, low, shambolic, flawed language that's thrown around rather than dealing with ideas and the consequences of the Muslim Brotherhood ideology, both in the UK and further afield.
