Giuliani Sparks Global Firestorm with ‘Islamization’ Claims in Viral Morgan Clash

In a television exchange that has sent shockwaves from the corridors of K Street to the gates of Buckingham Palace, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani declared that the United Kingdom is on the verge of becoming a “Muslim country” and suggested that King Charles III could eventually become its first “Muslim monarch.”

The interview, conducted by British firebrand Piers Morgan on his program Uncensored, has ignited a fierce debate over the limits of  political rhetoric and the accuracy of demographic fears that have increasingly permeated right-wing discourse in the United States. While Morgan, a frequent critic of “woke” culture, found himself in the unusual position of defending British institutions, Giuliani doubled down on a series of claims that critics have labeled as “dangerous conspiracy theories.”

A Kingdom ‘Overrun’?

The confrontation began when Giuliani, 81, characterized the United Kingdom and broader Europe as a collection of “useless cowards” who would “surrender” if faced with a declaration of war. However, the rhetoric shifted from geopolitics to domestic demographics when Giuliani claimed he had been told by “people from England” that the nation would be a “Muslim country in 10 years.”

“The Anglican Church… the Roman Catholic Church is bigger in England now than the Anglican Church,” Giuliani said, leaning into the camera. “And Charles III might be the Muslim monarch of England. I mean, they’re taking over.”

Morgan, visibly stunned, immediately pushed back on the statistics. “You realize, Rudy, only 5% of the UK is Muslim, dude?” he retorted, referencing official 2021 census data which placed the Muslim population in England and Wales at approximately 6.5%.

The former Mayor was undeterred. “It doesn’t matter,” Giuliani replied. “They have tremendous power. How many mayoralties do they have?”

Sharia and the ‘Cult of Death’

The most explosive moment of the 45-minute sit-down occurred when the discussion turned to Sharia law and the Quran. Giuliani, who rose to international fame as “America’s Mayor” following the September 11 attacks, characterized Sharia law and the Quran as a “cult of death.”

“I was in London about a year and a half ago and it seemed to me there were an awful lot of women with veils on that I had never seen before,” Giuliani remarked, citing his personal observations as evidence of a lack of assimilation. He further alleged that Sharia law “actually dominates” in parts of England, a claim that Morgan dismissed as having “no legal standing” in the British judicial system.

Giuliani’s rhetoric drew a sharp rebuke from Muslim advocacy groups in the U.S. and abroad. The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) issued a statement late Monday night calling the remarks “an incoherent slurry of bigotry and misinformation.”

“To call the holy book of nearly two billion people a ‘cult of death’ is not just factually wrong; it is a calculated attempt to dehumanize a global faith community,” the statement read.

The ‘Silent Majority’ and the German Comparison

In a move that drew audible gasps from the production crew, Giuliani compared the current state of the Muslim world to Nazi Germany. While conceding that “the majority” of Muslims do not have a radical mindset, he argued that they are “very silent” in the face of atrocities.

“Reminds you a little of Germany,” Giuliani said. “Certainly all of Germany weren’t Nazis. They just were afraid and they were defensive and wouldn’t stand up to it.”

Morgan countered that “all the evidence suggests” that the millions of Muslims living in the UK are integrated and do not share a radical mindset. “I live in London,” Morgan said. “I don’t get any feeling I’m being overrun by Muslims.”

The Geopolitical Ripple

Beyond the cultural grievances, Giuliani framed his concerns through the lens of the ongoing tension with Iran. He described the Islamic Republic as the “fuel” behind the supposed Islamization of the West, suggesting that the removal of the current Iranian government would reverse the demographic and cultural trends he finds so alarming.

The interview concluded with a monologue from a segment host praising Giuliani for pointing out the “utter weakness” of European leaders. The host specifically took aim at British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, echoing a sentiment recently attributed to President Donald Trump: “Starmer is no Winston Churchill.”

 Political Fallout

The timing of the interview is particularly sensitive. With the 2026 midterm elections approaching and the U.S. deeply divided over immigration and foreign policy in the Middle East, Giuliani’s remarks have become a lightning rod for both sides of the aisle.

On the Right: Some conservative commentators have defended Giuliani’s “candor,” arguing that he is voicing “uncomfortable truths” about the failure of multiculturalism in Europe.

On the Left: Democrats have seized on the interview as evidence of the “radicalization” of the Republican old guard, calling on GOP leaders to distance themselves from the former Mayor.

In the UK: A spokesperson for the British Home Office declined to comment on the specific interview but noted that “the UK remains a world leader in successful integration and religious freedom.”

As the clip continues to rack up millions of views on social media, the “explosive” nature of the exchange serves as a stark reminder of the widening gap between the American populist right and the traditional conservative establishments of their closest allies.

For now, the “Muslim Monarch” remains a headline-grabbing hypothetical, but the real-world tension sparked by Giuliani’s visit to the Uncensored set is very much a present-day reality.
