Atlantico: How would you describe what is happening in the United Kingdom since the knife attack that killed 3 children in Southport?
Boualem Sansal: I would say that we are witnessing the live defeat of the United Kingdom in a civil war that is beyond its control, what are the forces of disintegration that are Islam and its extremists, uncontrolled and uncontrollable mass emigration, and an inconsistent political personnel, subject to political correctness and wokeness, ready for any capitulation to preserve its income. I am thinking of Churchill’s famous phrase on war and dishonor, while Hitlerism and fascism were undertaking to divide up old Europe that had already yielded to all their demands. I also think of Algeria in the 1980s, and of all the despotic Muslim countries that thought it was smart to use Islam to nip in the bud the democratic demands that were beginning to be expressed in certain circles of society, and found themselves trapped and used by the Islamists. It is absolutely tragic. As in the game of skittles, the defeat of the United Kingdom will lead to that of many European countries. We will see there that the European Union was designed to weaken the States in order to merge them into a defenseless whole.
Does the media narrative that is mostly made of it – that of a wave of racist riots fomented by the extreme right – seem to you to reflect reality in its complexity?
That extremists of all sides and vandals take advantage of the tragedies that mourn the countries for their own business is not surprising. It is classic. There, at the base, there is the sadness and anger of English citizens shocked by the abominable murder of three little girls, a murder that follows so many others committed in recent years. All over the world, we have felt the same feelings, sadness and anger, and also indignation against the negligence of these governments incapable of protecting their citizens, perhaps also against ourselves because these governments were elected by those who denounce them today. Making protesters out to be rioters in order to isolate them, fascinate them and turn public opinion against them is a classic. The French government did the same with the Yellow Vests. And it will probably do the same when school starts again when it will be necessary to emerge from the crisis created by the abrupt dissolution of the National Assembly and the confusion of the cards to prevent the French from freely and calmly expressing their political choices. Today we have come to speak of a bankrupt banana republic, a coup d’état, a dictatorship, a civil war. The Olympic truce is over, we tremble for France. The Algerian government and those of the Sahel countries, who consider themselves seriously humiliated by Macron’s France, will be happy and duty-bound to play their part in its future difficulties.
King Charles III published a statement calling for mutual respect. What do you think this mutual respect between communities could mean?
These are words to say nothing, it is wooden language. What does mutual respect mean? Favors that each other would do for each other if they wanted to? Respect is obligatory, it is imposed, it is not a favor, and the first respect to impose is respect for the law. and the law is national law, not sharia, or any arrangement between cliques. In the event of a problem, we go to court to obtain respect and not to the mosque to receive blessings. It is still necessary for justice to be free and independent, respected and respectable, which no longer seems to be the case, either in the United Kingdom or in France.
Images of the Princess of Wales wearing a veil to visit a Muslim center have gone viral (a visit that took place in March 2023) as well as those of the head of the West Midlands police, who some considered that he gave the impression of submitting to the representatives of the Muslim community. Do you think the United Kingdom is in a situation of submission to the one that Michel Houellebecq anticipated for France in his novel of the same name?
I saw the scenes you are referring to and I was frightened to see the level of submission that proud England had reached. I remember an even more appalling scene of submission, that of an obsequious President Obama, bent 90 degrees before the King of Arabia, Guardian of the Two Holy Places.
