Watching the video was a mistake. I really wish I could unsee it.
In the footage, a woman hangs from a rope while flames blaze below her. The chant echoes: Allah Akbar.
Children are seen wielding dull machetes, attacking other children as adults shout in panic. Again, the words ring: Allah Akbar.
A group of men, shackled and kneeling, watch as a severed head is raised amidst cheers and shouts of Allah Akbar.
This is unimaginable cruelty, suffering, bloodshed, and death. Every single time: Allah Akbar.
Britain didn’t simply wake up to a transformed civilization. Change crept in stages, each one accepted before the next arrived.
These visuals are not rumors or Western exaggeration. They’re footage shared proudly by the perpetrators themselves as tools for recruitment.
I watched it because I felt I had to. As a former mayor from Texas and the founder of Africa Arise International, I’ve visited Nigeria 16 times since 2010. I’ve built schools in concentration camps and comforted orphans as they witnessed horrific acts against their families. I’ve shared this crisis in front of Congress, so I know it intimately.
What’s happening in Nigeria? I see it creeping into our own society. If we don’t act soon, fighting back might become necessary in our own backyards.
6 million lives lost, 10 million in slavery, 25 million displaced from their homes. Unfolding over 222 years—from Usman Dan Fodio’s proclamation in 1804 to today’s AK-47s targeting Christian farmers in the Middle Belt—this saga reflects a relentless jihad. Collaborating with the Nigerian government to tackle this genocide feels akin to approaching the Third Reich to halt the Holocaust.
In Nigeria, what combats this contagion isn’t the government; it is, in fact, part of the problem. There’s no cure left—only attempts to ease the suffering while salvaging what can be saved.
America isn’t there yet, but we’re closer than many realize. We have a nation to look to for insight.
The Decline of Britain
No one in Britain abruptly discovered their civilization was transformed. Instead, it unfolded gradually, with each change becoming normalized.
The initial step was a victim narrative. Delve into Islamic ideology and you’ll find elements of racism; the society’s instincts to safeguard minorities were turned against itself.
Next, we saw the rise of parallel institutions—sharia courts operating alongside civil law, communities responding to differing authorities, creating states within states. Presently, there are 85 recognized Sharia courts in the UK.
Then, the systems meant to counteract these changes were rendered ineffective. Police leadership prioritized diversity over addressing gang networks. Politicians calculated risks and remained silent, while the monarchy watched as these values were methodically dismantled.
Media outlets, which should have raised alarms, maintained a disturbing silence. All facets of institutional power—legal, political, royal, journalistic—were captured, undermined, or degraded.
Take Rotherham, for instance, where 1,400 children were systematically groomed and raped over 16 years while authorities, including police and social workers, turned a blind eye. Taking action, they feared being branded as racists.
On the streets, London leads Europe in acid attacks, and knife crime has altered entire neighborhoods. Authorities even advise women against walking alone in certain parts of the capital.
The opportunity to address the issue in Britain closed a decade ago. The UK is past the stage of caution, now grappling painfully to recover what it can.
Unignorable Signs
Patterns remain consistent. Victim mentality arises before violence; parallel systems develop, leading to laws that threaten. A knife is followed by weapons far worse.
In Dearborn, Michigan, crowds chanting “death to America” at pro-Hamas rallies blocked streets, set flags ablaze, and attacked bystanders—all while the police looked on and political leaders remained silent.
This might seem darkly humorous, if the consequences weren’t so severe. Some in the American LGBTQ political movement have aligned with brutal anti-gay ideologies globally, advocating and supporting such actions while silencing dissenters.
Back in 1979, gay activists in Iran supported Khomeini’s revolution under the impression it was about freedom. However, soon after, those same individuals faced executions.
This is no mere warning—it’s a reality check. The American LGBTQ movement risks political self-destruction, aligning with ideologies long-established in their brutal tactics if they rise to power.
It isn’t simply misguided youth in need of guidance; they are products of systems designed to create them. To them, a severed head and cheers from a crowd could symbolize triumph, not tragedy.
There’s no negotiating with stage 4 pancreatic cancer—you identify it, label it for what it is, and pursue total eradication.
Failure to act could mean your own demise.
This ideology clashes fundamentally with human civilization. History shows that civilizations enduring this conflict eventually must confront and battle back to reclaim their freedoms.
We haven’t reached that point yet, but time is slipping away.
