A video warning from eight years ago is making waves again. UAE Foreign Minister Abdullah bin Zayed predicted Western nations would face chaos if they kept ignoring radical extremism. His words now look shockingly accurate as protests and violence spread across America and Europe.
Back in 2017, bin Zayed said Europe’s political correctness would backfire. He warned that letting radicals operate freely would create more terrorism. He blamed weak leadership and woke ideas for not tackling the problem. Europe thought it knew better than Middle Eastern nations about Islam. Bin Zayed called that “pure ignorance.”
Fast forward to today. College campuses in America are overrun with pro-Palestine protests. Students at Columbia, Harvard, and Princeton set up camps and chant anti-Israel slogans. Police have arrested hundreds. Jewish students feel unsafe. Bin Zayed’s warning about unchecked extremism echoes loudly here. Chaos rules where order should thrive.
Europe isn’t spared either. France saw riots last summer after police shot a teenage migrant. Cars burned, stores looted. Critics say mass migration brought violence. Bin Zayed’s old clip circulated again. He had warned Europe’s open-door policies would radicalize communities. The riots proved him right. Weak borders and fear of offending caused this mess.
Tech billionaire Elon Musk shared bin Zayed’s video last week. Millions viewed it. Musk agrees Western leaders failed by ignoring common sense. They put “wokeness” over safety. Bin Zayed’s message resonates with conservatives tired of apologizing for protecting their way of life.
The UAE takes a tougher approach. It cracks down on radical preachers and funds moderate mosques. Meanwhile, Western universities let extremists recruit openly. Bin Zayed told Europe to stop acting like experts on Islam. His country knows the dangers better. Yet elitist leaders shrugged off his advice.
Amnesty International calls protests “peaceful.” They blame Europe for clamping down on free speech. This is the same old liberal blindness. Bin Zayed warned about hiding behind “human rights” to excuse extremism. Letting hate fester isn’t tolerance—it’s suicide.
Conservatives say bin Zayed’s prophecy came true. Weak leadership invited chaos. Borders crumbled, radicals prospered, and streets burned. The solution? Dump political correctness. Secure nations. Back allies like Israel. Stop coddling extremists. Common sense beats woke fantasies every time.
