God is Greater

The beast we bred in Brussels has broken out of prison
And squats today on Europa’s breast. It was not made
To keep us safe from harm but locked in indecision.

And now he crawls the unlit kerbs of every street at night,
Preying on the victims they’ve assigned for sacrifice,
And every park and underpass conceals his dripping blade.

Our public squares his morning snarl has turned to battlefields,
Boasting, like some bully child, that his God is Greater:
The unchanged battle cry of holy rape and murder.

The yellow stars of unity have fallen from his flag
And in their place the crescent moon is blazoned on his shield:
One end is dipped in heaven, the other in our blood.

Though our streets are amplified with his cries of victimhood,
They’re not as piercing as the screams of our savaged children
Who in their millions wait for the justice of Godless men.

And we, who sit in fury for our ravaged homeland,
How many years of tears before we rise and make a stand
Against the enemy that we feed with our own hand?

— London, September 2025

In Greek myth, Europa, which is the origin of the name for Europe, was a Phoenician princess who was raped by Zeus in the form of a white bull, by whom she had three sons. The first of these, Minos, became King of Crete, in which capacity, every nine years, he sent seven girls and seven boys from Athens into the labyrinth of the Minotaur, where they were devoured. After his death, Minos became a judge of the dead in the Underworld.

Allahu Akbar (‘God is Greater’), which begins the Islamic call to prayer, is played from amplified speakers five times a day in the more than 2,300 mosques in the UK, is repeated, according to Islamic practice, at least 100 times a day by the 46 million Muslims in Europe, and is screamed by Muslims while committing acts of terrorism against Europeans, of which there were 24 recorded as such in the European Union in 2024. 63 percent of prisoners in the UK arrested on terrorist-related charges are Islamic terrorists. MI5 lists Islamic terrorism as the most significant threat to the UK by volume. Islam is the only religion with a higher representation among prisoners in the United Kingdom than among the general population. The proportion of Muslim prisoners increased from 8 percent in 2002 to 18 percent in 2022. That’s more than 2.5 times their 7 percent share of the population, with 15,909 Muslims in prison in 2024. 

The yellow stars are the twelve stars on the flag of the European Union that was adopted by the Council of Europe in 1955 and again by the European Economic Community in 1985. Although both the blue ground and the twelve stars are symbols of the Blessed Virgin Mary as the ‘Woman of the Apocalypse’ (Revelation 12:1), today the flag is described as avoiding ‘religious or national symbols’ and embracing the supposedly ‘universal ideals of unity and harmony’.

The crescent moon is the symbol of Islam, and appears on the flags of Algeria, Azerbaijan, Comoros, Libya, Malaysia, Maldives, Mauritania, Northern Cyprus, Pakistan, Tunisia, Turkey, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Western Sahara.

An unknown number of upwards of 100,000 English girls have been raped over four decades by a network of Muslim men, largely from Pakistan, operating across England under protection of their local councils, police forces and successive UK governments, and with the knowledge of their wives, families, friends, imams and mosques.

Of the 8,500 arrests of foreign nationals for sexual offences in England and Wales in 2024 alone, 23 of the 40 nationalities with the highest arrest rate were from Muslim majority countries, and a further 3 were from countries where at least 30 percent of the population are Muslims. The likelihood of these Muslim foreign nationals being arrested for sex crimes was between 5 and 25 times that of British nationals. Despite this, the Muslim population of Europe is predicted to triple by 2050.

  1. I have a tremendous respect for you as a writer and thinker but believe this would have been better left to prose.

    I understood (though I don’t understand much more than that of Arabic) the literal meaning of Allahu Akbar to be “God is great”, not greater, which puts a slightly different slant on it.

    I’m guessing the photo shows a scene from film or television (the woman at the window looks like an actress who was once slandered by false accusations of antisemitism). Or are the girls real victims of rape gangs?

    Best regards,

    1. I’ve been looking recently at Yeats’ poems from The Tower (‘Meditations in Time of Civil War’ and ‘Nineteen Hundred and Ninteen’) as examples of poems that address civil war, which is what we’re in though most of us are refusing to fight it. Islam is a beast. It bestialises its acolytes, and it savages its victims. Its call to prayer is a declaration of war on infidels. Allahu Akbar means both ‘God is Great’ and ‘God is Greater’, but Islam doesn’t share its God: it imposes it on everyone and anything. One of my favourite poems is Neruda’s ‘Explaining a Few Things’ about the Spanish Civil War, which begins with questioning the entrenched idea that poetry should write about flowers and other pretty things. I would suggest that your squeamishness about me writing about the threat of Islam to Europe is partly about what you think are suitable subjects for poetry but, more generally, an expression of the self-imposed interdiction we’ve placed on ourselves, which is about to be written into law, about speaking about this threat. I don’t share either of these positions. This is my undoubtedly completely inadequate attempt to speak for the hundreds of thousands of English girls and women that have been raped by Muslim men and will continue to be raped by Muslim men, and no-one will stop me speaking up for them. Not the government. Not the police. Not the Left. And not you. Thank you for the compliments, Stephanos, but please: don’t tell me what or how I should write. Our police and security services are doing that already.
