As the world watches in disgust, mobs around the world riot.
Angry because of a piece of film! A piece of film made by one group of fanatics
to inflame another group of fanatics!
Some of the few people
rubbing their hands with glee are the nationalist parties of the far right. As
any right minded person looks on in horror and disgust the far right are
relishing what is happening. Their websites and varied blogs are full of
stories relating to the riots and other such issues to do with radical Islam.
The UK right wing
nationalist movement no longer consists of only the NF and the BNP. A huge
fallout between Griffin and other senior officials ended up with many of them
either starting rival parties such as British freedom and Britain First or
joining established party’s such as the English Democrats.
Now it’s worth mentioning
that these officials did not leave because of ethical or moral issues like the
inherent racism of nationalism?
One prominent nationalist
who has been jumping on the bandwagon for a few weeks is Chris Beverley.
Beverley was a prominent figure in the BNP up until last year when he also left
because of Griffins bad management of the party.
He recently did an article
on his blog regarding the horrors of Female Genital mutilation [FGM] and how it
is happening to young girls in Britain. Any right thinking person should be
appalled by this practice, but when it comes to Nationalists like Beverley;
don’t be fooled.
Why? Because it’s not
happening to white girls! The young girls who are suffering this barbaric
cruelty are of North African and Middle East descent.
Nationalists like Beverley
don’t care about this; the girls are not white Anglo Saxon. The fact that it
happens routinely in countries like Somalia has absolutely no bearing on them.
This is the real sickness of nationalism. Lately he has being promoting the writings of humanitarian
and author Ayan Hirsi Ali. Not because of her humanitarian work but because of
what she says about radical Islam.
In my brief role working in
the constituency office for Griffin I witnessed this indifference many
times.
Most senior players in the
nationalist movement may try to hide their racism but the one thing they do
show openly to the world is there indifference. Nationalists believe that
we should not get involved at all in foreign affairs. Whatever happens in
another country has absolutely nothing to do with us and we should leave them
to it. Women’s rights, FGM, Honour killings, genocide, mass murder, ethnic
cleansing the reign of brutal dictators all have absolutely nothing to do with
Britain.
It doesn’t matter if you’re
an ethnic national party like the NF or BNP. It doesn’t matter if you’re a
civic nationalist party like the English Democrats or cultural nationalists
like the British freedom party, it all comes down to the same thing;
indifference to your fellow man.
Indifference to anyone who is different to you !
Well written Ali, it does help to clarify what the BNP and other Nationalist Parties really think! indifference is just as damaging as agreeing with!
