Summary

Dr. Daniel Allington is a researcher of antisemitism and extremism. Join the Heretics Community For Bonus Videos: https://andrewgoldheretics.com/ Read Dr. Allington's Counter Extremism work here. In this episode we talk about how antisemitism isn’t only found where many people assume it is — and why some areas of research have become professionally risky to pursue.

We also discuss Islamist ideology, the historical links between Islamism and 20th century European fascism, the rise of anti-blasphemy activism in Britain, and how institutions can end up tiptoeing around threats of intimidation and violence. Finally, we talk about national identity, integration, and why “community leaders” and separatism can push Britain toward a kind of soft balkanisation — and why mainstream politics has struggled to deal with it.

When I first wanted to start

looking at anti-Semitism within the Muslim community, I was provided with some data and I

was doing an analysis of this and I discussed it with a friend who said, hmm, let me seek

some advice on your behalf. And the advice that came back was, you know, tell your friend to stay
