My name is Joshua Sutcliffe, an evangelical Christian, former math teacher, street preacher, and founder of the Sharia Free Declaration.

​

In 2019, while teaching at St Aloysius’ Catholic school in north London, I was forced out of my job after Muslim parents discovered a YouTube video I had posted. In it, I stated plainly what millions of Christians believe: that Muhammad is a false prophet and that Islam, as a system, produces division rather than peace. Students who followed my channel brought the video to the attention of parents. The pressure from those parents was immediate and intense. The school caved. I was effectively constructively dismissed.

​

What happened to me was not an isolated HR dispute. It was the enforcement of Islamic blasphemy laws on British soil — in a Catholic school, in the heart of London. There was no court, no law, and no due process. Just community pressure that the authorities refused to resist. This is how Islam advances in the West: not always by force at first, but by making criticism of its prophet, its doctrines, or its political ambitions socially and professionally impossible.

​

I have watched Britain change. I have seen the rapid growth of parallel societies, the grooming rape gangs scandals, the street prayers that shut down roads, the protests openly calling for a caliphate, and the chilling effect on free speech whenever anyone dares to tell the truth about Islam.

Demographic shifts, cultural accommodation, and political cowardice have allowed a supremacist ideology to take root. Sharia is not “just a personal faith” — it is a complete system of law and governance that is fundamentally incompatible with Western liberty, equality, and democracy.

Its supporters, both overt and stealth, are working toward the same long-term goal: Islamic dominance.

That is why I left Britain and why I am now in America sounding the alarm. I understand exactly how Islam infects and transforms a nation — because I lived it. I have seen the pattern up close: first demands for “respect,” then special accommodations, then suppression of dissent, and finally the push for Sharia itself.

America is not immune. What happened to me in a London classroom can happen in American schools, workplaces, and public squares if we remain silent.

​

The Sharia Free Declaration is my response. It is a clear, uncompromising call to rally Americans —  and all who value freedom — around the defense of the American Constitution and the American way of life.

Americans reject Sharia in all its forms. We reject blasphemy laws disguised as “hate speech” rules. We reject the idea that any religion is above criticism.

We declare that America must remain Sharia-free.

​

If you believe, as I do, that the West is worth defending and that truth is not hate, then join me. The time for polite silence is over. The caliphate dream ends here — in the United States of America.
