I Will Not Be Silenced!’ | Patrick Christys Hits Back at Report Accusing GB News of Islamophobia (Video)
GB News presenter Patrick Christys has strongly denied claims that he and the network are spreading Islamophobia. A report published by the Center for Media Monitoring accused GB News of being anti-Muslim, but Christys says the accusations are false and misleading.
“This report is full of errors,” he said. “It accuses me of saying things I never said. For example, they claim I used the term ‘Trojan horse’ to insult Muslims. That’s not true. I was talking about Iranian terrorist sleeper cells in Britain, which our own security services have warned us about. That’s not about Muslims; it’s about terrorists.”
Christys also addressed claims that he made inappropriate comments about former Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby and Sharia-compliant pensions. He explained that his remarks were taken out of context. “I joked about Welby promoting Islam more than Christianity because of his public statements, not because I have a problem with Islam. It’s about his priorities as a Christian leader.”
On the topic of Sharia-compliant pensions and blasphemy laws, Christys said he was questioning certain political demands made by specific groups, not attacking the religion itself. “I was simply pointing out that these demands could clash with British values,” he clarified.
He also defended GB News’ focus on domestic stories about issues related to Islam, saying it reflects the reality of life in Britain. “We report on things like grooming gangs, incidents involving religious sensitivities, and threats to public safety. These are important issues, and we cannot ignore them just because they might make some people uncomfortable.”
Christys argued that the real reason for these accusations is GB News’ growing popularity. “We are now beating Sky News and coming close to the BBC. That’s why they’re trying to smear us—they’re scared of how much the British public supports us.”
Despite the backlash, Christys remains firm in his stance. “I have no hatred toward Muslims. In fact, they contribute so much to this country, from public services to wider society. But I won’t be scared into silence when it comes to protecting British culture and values.”
He ended by saying he will continue doing his job and standing up for what he believes is right. “You can disagree with me, and that’s fine. But I’m here to speak the truth as I see it, and I won’t stop.”
Patrick Christys’ response has sparked a heated discussion, with supporters praising his courage to speak openly and critics questioning whether his comments cross a line.
