"President Andrzej Duda presented Sir Roger Scruton with the Grand Cross of the Order of Merit of the Republic of Poland, the highest award that can be given to a non-Pole.

In the interview in the New Statesman magazine, published on April 10, Scruton was quoted as saying that the term Islamophobia was “invented by the Muslim Brotherhood in order to stop discussion of a major issue.”

He warned that “Hungarians were extremely alarmed by the sudden invasion of huge tribes of Muslims from the Middle East.”

He defended Hungary’s controversial leader Viktor Orban’s campaign against George Soros by insisting that “anybody who doesn’t think that there’s a Soros empire in Hungary has not observed the facts.”

And he warned of China: “They’re creating robots out of their own people… each Chinese person is a kind of replica of the next one and that is a very frightening thing.” Quote from Times of Israel:
