Raheem Kassam: Islamism, Censorship & How the West Subsidizes Its Own Demise
At an American Freedom Alliance gathering in Los Angeles, Raheem Kassam, Editor-in-Chief of The National Pulse, issued a sobering warning to the West: our governments, institutions, and media are complicit in the erosion of national identity, free speech, and Western civilization itself — all while empowering Islamist and leftist agendas.
1. Islam’s “Muscular” Appeal vs. the Collapse of Western Identity
“Islam gets to say what it wants to say because it’s ‘Islamophobic’ to question it.”
Raheem Kassam recounts how Islam captured young minds with ideological aggression unmatched by Christianity or national identity, importing anti-Western ideologies through mass immigration — a recipe for cultural suicide.
2. Refugee Resettlement as Treason
“What these people are doing is treasonous... They are presiding over a situation where the nation-state will necessarily be destroyed.”
Taxpayers unknowingly fund their own societal erosion through NGOs, the UN, and Open Society Foundations, all driving mass migration policies that Kassam deems treasonous.
3. The Persecution of Patriots like Tommy Robinson
“The political establishment sneers at him because he speaks with a working-class accent and speaks for working-class people.”
Kassam highlights Tommy Robinson's persecution as symbolic of the elite's disdain for the working class who resist cultural transformation imposed by unchecked immigration and Islamism.
4. Islamist Penetration of Western Politics and Policy
“We’re seeing billions funneled to Iran... This is not just bribery — it’s ideological capture.”
Kassam details Saudi and Iranian influence in universities and politics, embedding Islamist sympathizers across Western policymaking institutions.
5. Criminalizing Criticism: The New Blasphemy Laws
“They are trying to criminalize any criticism of Islam itself.”
With de facto blasphemy laws disguised as anti-Islamophobia protections, Kassam warns that criticism of Islam is increasingly outlawed socially and politically in the West.
6. Media’s Role: BBC, AP, and Reuters
“The BBC is probably the greatest fake news peddler on a global scale... eclipsing CNN and the AP.”
Kassam criticizes the BBC and other mainstream outlets for amplifying Islamist propaganda and perpetuating anti-Zionist narratives, bolstered by their global prestige.
7. A Glimmer of Hope: The Backlash is Growing
“People are fed up with what they’re getting from both the red side and the green side.”
Amidst the ideological siege, Kassam sees a public awakening as the free speech movement pushes back against the Red-Green Alliance's cultural dominance.
