Where color, faith don’t matter
british prime minister theresa may chose sajid javed for the post of home secretary (interior minister), the third most important ministry, britain’s top security and immigration official and the first muslim minister, from one of the minorities. this is the first in british history.
he is responsible for dealing with the crisis left by the former minister related to the windrush (windrush may refer to: hmt empire windrush, a ship synonymous with post-war immigration of west indian people to the uk, originally mv monte rosa, a passenger liner and cruise ship launched in germany in 1930.
during the 1930s, she operated as a german cruise ship under the name monte rosa) scandal which forced her to resign on grounds she misled the house of commons on lists linked to the deportation of illegal immigrants, as well as the scandal of dealing with british residents as illegal immigrants.
the former minister has been criticized for days after it emerged that her ministry had specific goals of expelling illegal immigrants.
it is important here to know how javed will deal with what has become known as ‘windrush immigrants’, immigrants from africa, asia and the caribbean who have helped to rebuild britain after the war.
today, they face a threat of deportation, especially since the prime minister may herself set that policy when she was the home secretary (between 2010 and 2016), a policy which was followed by former interior ministry rudd.
javed also criticized his government’s handling with immigrants when he said, “it may be my mother, my father, my uncle, or me. this criticism came from him while he was a minister in the same government and he was not afraid that theresa may would expel him.
javed is a 48-year-old muslim whose family came from pakistan to britain half a century ago. his father worked as a bus driver. he served several ministerial posts during the david cameron government between 2010 and 2016, including the minister of state for business and creativity.
this is in addition to the minister of state for culture and information and sports. if winston churchill had come back to life and saw the pakistani muslim javed taking up the post of home secretary, he would have had a fatal heart attack.
this is what happened in great britain, the head of arrogance and racism, and one of the few superpowers that have remained on the throne of grandeur for more than 200 years.
however, like other developed western countries, it did not hesitate to hand over its most powerful ministry to the sons of immigrants who differ in color and religion and shape.
as for us, we have nothing except boasting that we are one arab nation with an eternal message, and we want to keep pace with the developed countries, and call for the elimination of israel after we have finished eradicating poverty in our countries, diseases in our bodies, and backwardness in our minds.
