UK Independence Party MEP
Gerard Batten to author "A Proposed Charter of Muslim Understanding", which among other things proposes for British Muslims to sign a declaration against promotions of violent
jihad in the
Quran. Although at first supported by the party, the charter later proved controversial, and UKIP leader
Nigel Farage in 2014 distanced the party from it after Batten continued to call for Muslims to sign it, and again after the
Charlie Hebdo shooting. Solomon, with Elias Al-Maqdisi, is also known for the Al Hijra-theory, published in the book
Modern Day Trojan Horse: The Islamic Doctrine of Immigration, which claims, based on the
hijra (migration) of Muslim Prophet
Muhammad, that the modern-day immigration of Muslims is a deliberate strategy of
Islamisation. They also assert that
taqiyya (deception) is a key strategy in the Islamisation of the UK. Solomon and Al-Maqdisi's book
Al-Yahud: Eternal Islamic Enmity and the Jews was banned in
Malaysia in 2017.
