This was a surprisingly emotional interview with social psychologist Dr. Daniel Allington, as he reveals how universities told him not to look into the dark side of Islam.

3 Things I Learned

  • Jew hate isn’t coming mainly from the people we’re told it is. Daniel’s point was that in the UK it’s not mostly the old-school neo-Nazi far right. The bigger problem is in places we’re much more uncomfortable talking about.

  • A lot of academics are scared to touch certain topics. Not because the data isn’t there, but because it can wreck your career, your funding and your reputation. So people study “extremism” in vague terms instead of naming what’s actually happening.

  • The blasphemy issue is way bigger than people realise. He thinks anti-blasphemy activists have basically managed to intimidate Britain into tiptoeing around Islam in a way we don’t with other religions.
