“Maybe the Europeans should have thought about all that back when they were colonizing Africa in the 19th century." That’s what “British-American” broadcaster Mehdi Hasan responded when a random X user complained about the flood of black players competing for European soccer teams at the World Cup.

Hasan is of Muslim Indian heritage whose ancestors hail from the region of Hyderabad, a region that was conquered, colonized, and Islamized by Islamic forces during the 16th century and during the Deccan Sultanates centuries before. I.e., Hasan is himself a product of Islamic colonialism. Yet, he has a mouth full of European colonialism, aggressively claiming Europeans “should have thought about all that” (meaning, black mass migration to Europe).

Mehdi Hasan also posted on Jan 8th this year, “Make American Planes Crash Again”, referring to 9/11. He also called the British grooming gangs “unproven” just before it was proven that 250,000 White girls had been raped by mostly Muslim Pakistani child rape squads. Hasan is also known for repeatedly calling replacement immigration into Europe a “Neo-Nazi conspiracy theory”.
