my activism and my journalism took me in 2015 I if I go I I started my activism in 2009 yeah so I'll give a brief history to my work yeah do that I was born in I was born in Luton in 1982 luton's a town that's 30 miles north of London when I was born in 1982 there was one mosque there's now 45 mosques okay how big is len it's 200,000 population and how many mosques 45 okay 45 Luton was named by the CIA as the epicenter for terrorist activities across Europe the fertilizer bomb PL
was planned in Luton the 77 attacks they got their bombs in Luton the Stockholm bomber was radicalized in Luton terrorist attack after terrorist attackers orchestrated and come from Luton now growing up in Luton I as I said when I was born I've seen all of this yeah Al mine you know Omar bakre Abu Abu Hamza the two their head office they used to have an organization called Al mine who were not they're now a prescribed terrorist organization but they never were their head office was in biscuit Mill in my hometown so growing up I had
a very life lesson of the influence of islamist ideology and what it can do to Freedom yeah also the grooming gangs which is something we'll get on to so my cousin was a victim at 14 she was hooked on Heroin and raped she she was she woke up being raped by gangs of bearded men in the Muslim in the Muslim Community she run naked through the streets now what the police done at the time is nothing yeah so I grew up watching how old were you when that happened I would have been 13 so she
was 14 so as all this is happening and just so people get Luton is one of the most diverse towns in Great Britain one of most diverse towns in Europe yeah so white English are a minority okay most of the people I love are not white because I've been brought up in in this community yeah so as I've been brought up in our school playground when when I went to school you had the Muslim playground and the non-muslim playground like so I had very quick learning and then when you go into the why why were
they segregated well that they segregated themselves the Muslims did not integrate or assimilate so when you go into the school dinner table just so people can picture it you'll have whites sitting with blacks sitting with Indians sitting with siks sitting with Hindus all sitting together and in the corner there'll be 10 tables of Muslims yeah now I never understood it as a child okay it was from when I went to high school I just knew the pakistanis are very different yeah they're quite hostile if you mess with one you've declared war with the whole tribe
yeah there's not a fair fight there's never a one-on-one fight it's all Gang Related and I learn so just grew up learning it but that's not to say because some of the best people I met in my hometown were Muslim Lads yeah some of the people I loved were Muslim Lads but per se there was a real problem here and I grew up watching it learning it and alas rine um my first activism was in 2004 I was what was I then 20 2004 I organized a protest and this group well do you remember the
bezam school massacre no so bezam school massacre was chian re chian terrorists had took took control of a school and this is coming again yeah this is going to happen to a Jewish school I guarantee you they took control of a school when I was probably 2019 or something that was where this was in C Russia yeah okay I and what happened was the parents all outside the school and all the Muslim jihadists are inside the school with their pupils with their children and then they start butchering them and killing them and I remember watching
the parents drop to their knees and they're screaming yeah and I remember watching it thinking what what is this what has this isn't one man that's gone in and done this this is a whole group of people so what and then I had to understand what brings someone to do that and two weeks later I saw an interview in a chicken shop in my hometown of Luton with a man called safe of Islam which translates the sword of Islam he was second in command of aline the group yeah who whose head office is in my
town and I saw him saying an attack like that would be justified in a British scho and that was my wake up I said who's this man and I looked him up who's his group and I looked up who they were and then I looked up my backery and then I started understanding their ideology and trying to work out and then for me these are a danger yeah so then I organized and I looked and they used to have a store setup so we have a a Don Miller's bakery a famous it's like your Tim
Horton yeah we have a bakery chain in Luton Town Center and every Saturday this terrorist group are there openly promoting hatred yeah just openly sending people to fight for the Taliban recruiting people so so the Stockholm bomber who was a Iraqi Muslim who come to University in luten was was a nice young man till he come to L yeah then then When You're vulnerable at your most vulnerability away from home for the first time in University they pounce yeah that's typical cult Behavior this is what so they pounce yeah and they got him and then
he went and blew himself up yeah so these groups have been operating so I organized a protest called ban the loot and Taliban yeah and I actually in my pres I give a presentation Oxford University when was that that was 2004 so I give a presentation Oxford University because I made leaflets and if you dig up the leaflet which i' done for my Oxford University presentation in 2004 my rhetoric has never changed okay so the leaflet was put as front page of our local newspaper and what I said is whites and blacks are being religiously
and racially targeted in this town yeah no one's doing anything about it there's a total two-tier policeing operation in this town where they get away with what they want the Islamic community get away with what they want they don't the police do not know how to deal with these problems I went on to say that they use drugs as a weapon against our community to get our children into pedophilic practices with which is what's now known as grooming now when I made this when I and and I was a young man you and I organized
it my friends we go to football together um luton's one of the most it was vot voted the roughest town in great britainy it's a rough place but we went makes it rough um they were heart makers what we were heart makers what makes you rough that's all that mercury that's the history maybe's a it's a poverty stricken town with a lot of problems regardless of Islam ltin has a lot of problems it's a rough environment it's the levels of violence are are as high as anywhere in the UK but what you grow up thinking
is normal actually isn't normal you grow up with a level of violence in your school on your streets or the way to solve things is through violence and it's a poor town yeah so I start I organized this group about 200 of us turned up English men and for the first time it works that the terrorist group weren't there yeah the the jihadists weren't there that day because we were come in yeah and the police locked it down but the what happened from that point the police tell me what they did the police on this
day the police turned up we went to we went to Dom Miller the group weren't there we then stood held a little protest at our Council building saying we need to get rid of these terrorists yeah this is before 77 this is before any terrorist attacks in Great Britain this was these the terrorist attacks we've seen and the so 60% of the Muslims in Great British prison in in Great Britain's jails are ex-members of this group in Luton yeah so okay so you actually had put your finger on them I put my finger on them
and I named in the leaflet what I named in the leaflet was the link between the street drug gangs called the we have a gang called the gambinos they haven't they're not very original they're a Pakistani group but they've called themselves the gambinos and three year four years later the national newspaper so in 2004 I named them in I Nam them in my leaflet and say we've had enough of the gangs with their herin and we've had enough of the jihadists all combining and what happened after this was I was targeted by the by The
Gangs not by the jihadists by the street level drug gangs who were drinking alcohol gambling they're not religious they're just out pumping heroin and controlling the streets and prostitution I was targeted by them now years later the national newspapers run a link showing the link between the gambinos they name them and and terrorists they're working they work alongside each other and at the time the luten Islamic Center which is the main Mosque of Luton the main salafist Mosque of Luton yeah um that's it's the old synagogue ironically before the Jews were driven out it's the
old synagogue is now oh really yeah convenient but Kad Basque was the leader of this mosque now at the time I then started looking at at this mosque cuz my friends who are Muslim had said BR that that's the problem in this town that's the problem yeah so I went on their website and I translated their website and I found a seven-page justification for women to be lashed for adultery yeah I found justification for killing for apostates this is on the main mosque yeah so I translated it all and then basically I faced a backlash
from the Pakistani gangs and I had problems then but at this time I'm I'm being on it I was part of a loton football scene so I used to go football with my friends the one sat the Saturday would be the day that all the English Lads would come together for Luton toown football club it was a culture a cultural thing I guess um I've never claimed to be an angel either um so I was part of a football scene so we clashed then with with the the drug gangs the the Muslim drug gangs and
five years goes past um by this point um do you think you did something wrong there no I I didn't do anything I stood up against them stood up stood up against them and at times so I knew those gangs cuz they're all we're all the same age I went to school with them yeah stood up against them and I remember when they were getting with one of my friends little sisters and I rang my S I rang the family and said do not let her near them I'm telling you yeah at the time don't
let her near them I know what's going to happen and then that I had all the gangs having problems with me then saying what's going on because because I knew them yeah what's going on I said you're not doing to her what you do I know the family it's not happening lad yeah the amount of girls I know who lives have been destroyed through these prostitution drug gangs and they start off nice with the girls they get them in they treat them well they give them money these are 13-year-old children yeah they give them drink
they give them alcohol they'll drive them around in their sports cars gradually gradually bang they're gone the girl's gone yeah the girl's gone and as I said when the family is that when you became aware of grooming yeah I've become aware because my cousin and all the other girls went to school with but at the time we viewed them so at school the English kids we just viewed the girl ourselves we we viewed them wrong we viewed them as slags cuz they're off with all the Pakistani men the older men we were viewing them as
children just looking saying what they doing with all the taxi drivers and what what what they're going out of all the all the older Pakistani men I watched your uh video about the woman now who's older who talked about the gangs The Gangs when she was young and she would get into a car and lay down so that her mom when Mom's in the car yeah ring so all all of these things are going on yeah but by this point I get we get to 2009 when did you start to understand that your view of
the girls the view of the girls that you had when you were 15 or thereabouts when you were treating them like [ __ ] was wrong yeah when did you figure that out when I become an adult when I become an adult and started looking thinking and then when up so 2009 in 20 so 2004 I do this protest we have a backlash from all the Pakistani drug gangs We Carry On sort of we get through that I've grown up I've then by this point got two successful businesses uh between me and my wife we
had seven properties we were doing we were successful we were doing well well in life yeah and then 2009 we have a soldier's homecoming parade so they weren't out there at War it was a royal anglian regim regimen which is our local regimen now Scott MTD is 26 years old he's from our from the estate I grew up in when I was young and he died um Michael Swain was 19 and lost his legs when the soldiers I I turned up on a Tuesday morning with my cousin and it wasn't well publicized but we turned
up to pay our respects and when I turned up I saw about 20 women in full Nick cabs which is quite a site when you see them together and then I looked and saw saful Islam the leader of this Islamic group The Sword of Islam I looked and saw him and then I started seeing more of them and then I saw police everywhere and I'm thinking no way yeah something's going to go down here yeah then I saw the i w I watched this myself I watched as the police took a group now what the
because some of our friends got arrested at this event we got the intelligence now the police actually on the motorways stopped 300 60 other Muslims coming into lot in that day yeah so there was a full-on there was going to be a full-on attack against our Arm Forces on their as they walk through the town but as they W through the town I watched as the local as sorry these were the armed forces that had come back from come back from Afghanistan or Iraq train training they were training they weren't at War there I see
okay okay so they had the freedom of the city because they've been away so then they come to get their March and the public can come out and support them and it was all downplayed anyway it was on a Tuesday it wasn't publicized we knew it because we know people in the regiment so we've gone down that day and I watched the town hall now picture this this is our town hall remember these group these this group have all gone on to be imprisoned for Isis yeah so but that's who they were at the time
yeah but no one knows who they are really no one has the knowledge of what these men are like we do because we're we're born there I've looked here I've research them I know who they are I know the danger of this idea it's 2009 I'm sitting there standing there I watch my police walk them all through the town hall they opened up our town hall doors and walked them through I thought what's going on there and then as the soldiers are Marching here then you just hear all commotion so I go running around the
back of the Town Hall they've took them through the town hall to stand as a soldiers walk here the Muslim groups here and they're spitting at the soldiers they spit in Scott M who's dead they spit in his mom's face yeah they spatting the families and they're shouting and that's assault just to be straight just to be straight B baby killers butchers of bazra this what they're calling the soldiers now my opinion of that war has changed from back then as well yeah I believe it was an illegal invasion I believe it was disgusting what
our government's done yeah but but my opinion has changed on the motive of the war but and our soldiers don't get to choose the war they go into they swear allegiance to Queen and Country and the government send them to war now if these people are upset about the war take it to the government yeah but they stood in front of our soldiers and and my and at this point I was with my cousin there that day and they there was I mean you you could have lit a match and our town would have blown
up at this time yeah that's how we felt but I'll tell you why we felt that cuz I'm a proud lonian Luton is part of the identity of who I am is where I've been brought up and the only time you ever hear our hometown mentioned ever is to do a terrorist and Jihad and now our soldiers have been attacked in our town Yeah by these jihadists and not just attacked but the police walked them through the town hall to do it so I watched it that day and then and I watched the police's reaction
they they didn't turn on the Muslims at all they stood with their backs to the Muslims so the Muslims were whole his abuse they stood with their batons to all the English people who were upset at what they're just allowed to happen [Music]
