“It is alleged that Coun Derek Bullock, who represents Hulton ward on Bolton Council , posted an article from anti-Muslim activist Robert Spencer’s ‘JihadWatch’ on Facebook.”
Here again we see, as we always see, an establishment outlet uncritically repeating Leftist/Islamic supremacist talking points. It is not “anti-Muslim” to oppose jihad violence and Sharia oppression. If it were, it would have been “anti-German” to oppose Nazism.
Anyway, the Manchester Evening News doesn’t dare specify which Jihad Watch article the hapless Bullock shared. This is for two reasons:
1. If it did share the article, it, too, could be accused of “Islamophobia,” and that could be suicide in today’s shattered, staggering, dhimmi Britain.
2. If it did share the article, people would see that the article was true, accurate, inoffensive, and innocuous, and that the Conservative leaders who suspended Bullock were fools, cowards, and betrayers of the British people. Can’t have that. And so Bullock has to take the fall.
“Conservative councillor suspended over ‘Islamophobic’ Facebook post,” by Thomas George, Manchester Evening News, March 5, 2020:
A Conservative councillor has been suspended from the party amid claims of Islamophobia.
It is alleged that Coun Derek Bullock, who represents Hulton ward on Bolton Council , posted an article from anti-Muslim activist Robert Spencer’s ‘JihadWatch’ on Facebook.
In response to an article about former party chair Baroness Sayeeda Warsi, he reportedly added: “She’s been a cuckoo in the nest!”
In another post, from February 2015, he is shown to have shared a Daily Mail article under the headline ‘Number of Muslim children in England and Wales doubles in a decade’, adding the comment ‘the clock is ticking’.
The comment was made prior to Coun Bullock being elected to the council in May 2019.
It is one of several incidents detailed in a dossier complied by campaign group Hope Not Hate.
It found what it called Islamophobic social media posts by more than twenty Conservative officials and activists, including six sitting councillors….
A Conservative Party spokesperson said: “All those found to be party members have been suspended immediately, pending investigation. The swift action we take on not just anti-Muslim discrimination, but discrimination of any kind is testament to the seriousness with which we take such issues.”
James says
We should invent terms like Britophobia or Ameriphobia and apply them liberally to all the people who attack us or want to destroy our cultures and civilization
Sherry Pennington says
I’m with you James!
mortimer says
The Islamophobia supposed by Muslim propagandists is actually Muslims looking at themselves in the mirror.
Muslims hate non-Muslims as a requirement of their faith. This hatred or ‘phobia’ directed at kafirs is called ‘BARAA’ … to ‘cleanse’ the world of the dirty kafirs and their ideas.
Muslims thus are indoctrinated with KAFIR-O-PHOBIA.

But how long before Jihad Watch iitself gets suspended ?

“But how long before Jihad Watch itself gets suspended ?” When non-muslims decide to kneal on a mat and recite the ……..well you get it. Because Agenda 21-30 has you EU proletariats right where you should be. OR you can actually wake up and look around you and decide cultural heritage really means something to you and Nationalism could have it’s teeth back if you took control as a free people…..Just a thought.
Paul Kagan says
After reading this article I tried to send it to Coun Bullock at Council Bolton

AKA… THEY HATE AND FEAR THE TRUTH!
Michael says
A much bigger threat to Britain than the corona virus is the current plague of oikophobia – the psychiatric term for fear of the familiar (as opposed to the phony “Islamophobia”, a made-up word “hate” created specifically to stifle any criticism of Islamic ideology).
Facts are not hate speech. And, however unpalatable to some, it is a fact that Muslim immigrants have much larger families than indigenous ethnic Brits and that independent demographic forecasts show the UK could be a majority Islamic country within a handful of decades.
The only consolation, should this tragedy be allowed to occur, is that those utopian socialists whose love affair with multiculturalism and diversity are systematically destroying our traditional values and way of life will suffer under Sharia as much as the millions they betrayed.
Seth J. Karic says
Newspeak. It’s not anti-Muslim, it’s anti-Islam.
Good ol’ Manchester Evening News. Competing with the Daily Mail UK website to be the worst newspaper in the Western World.
mortimer says
The website is called ‘JIHAD’ Watch, rather than Muslim Watch or Islam Watch.
This organization analyzes JIHAD … in its four principle, canonical forms: the jihad of the sword, of the tongue, of the pen and the jihad of money.
Individual Muslims are named and their actions and words are analyzed when they try to advance JIHAD and ISLAMIC POLITICAL SUPREMACISM.
Jihad is the POLITICAL ACT of removing the human rights and civil liberties of kafirs and women.
Rob says
The Police exercise their powers by the consent of the public they police. It is this predisposition to obey, that makes the law-abiding public easy prey. If you were a policeman faced with the choice of arresting a suspect in a Muslim no-go area, or even going into one OR arresting a law abiding local living in a leafy suburban street – which would you do?
James Lincoln says
Absolutely true, Rob.
In Sweden, a native blue-eyed blonde haired Swede will get a ticket for driving 6 mph over the posted speed limit. NO danger for the police – and it enriches the country’s coffers.
But muslims committing crimes in “no-go” Malmo will get a free pass…

“It is not “anti-Muslim” to oppose jihad violence and Sharia oppression. If it were, it would have been “anti-German” to oppose Natsism”
?????? This makes no sense.
Islam is the source of jihad violence and sharia oppression. A Muslim is someone who follows Islam. So the correct analogy would be: It is anti-Natsi to oppose Natsism.
Your argument is meant for racism claims. For example: It would be anti-Arab to oppose Islam.
I know Robert that you are trying to avoid the smears, but you have been saying for a long time that you are against Natsism, but not the Natsis.
There is no way to avoid it. There could be Natsis who claim that they do no follow the teachings of Natsism. But, if not, why do they call themselves Natsis?
If there is any Muslim who is against the violence inherent in Islam. He has one way to protest and only one way. He must quit.
Terry Gain says
Islam encourages Jihad and commands the advance of Islam whose law (Sharia) is both oppressive and discriminatory. I don’t understand how one can be opposed to Jihad and Sharia without also being both anti-Islam and anti the adherents of this odious ideology. Given Islam’s doctrine of conquest being anti – Muslim is both justified and necessary to prevent Islamic conquest.
Jayell says
In the current climate of unprincipled, spineless relatavism, it is customary to want to appear ‘reasonable’ or ‘non-judgmental’ (that’s the buzzword) in order to be acceptable to the current intelligentsia – bearing in mind any mindless ill-informed bias that this self-proclaimed ‘intelligentsia’ might have. Thus, you even get the likes of Tommy Robinson, who has the guts to ‘say it as it is’, having to compromise defensively with the bent British establishment by going out of his way to mention ‘all those good law-abiding muslims’ when the same British establishment would NEVER for one moment entertain the idea of a ‘good, law-abiding Nazi’ even though that would amount to the same thing. How can one be a ‘good person’ when one choses to follow an evil creed? By the way, I note that the Counservative councillor in this piece comes from Bolton. Bolton, like Bradford and Rotherham, is an islamic cesspit where you can’t say a syllable against islam. And the same is becoming true for the entire British Conservative Party, which has recently been accused of ‘islamophobia’ in a ‘report’ (sic) by that proto-Nazi Politburo of self-appointed ‘righteous’ gasbags otherwise known as the Muslim Council of Great Britain (or the New United Kingdom Parliament-in-waiting, as no doubt they see themselves!)
Michael Copeland says
“The swift action we take on not just anti-Muslim discrimination, but discrimination of any kind is testament to the seriousness with which we take such issues.”
Translation: “….is testament to the fear we have of losing muslim votes, being blackened in the media, and failing in our virtue-signalling.”

James Lincoln says
Robert Spencer, in the feature article states:
“It is not “anti-Muslim” to oppose jihad violence and Sharia oppression. If it were, it would have been “anti-German” to oppose Nazism.”
I’m having a problem with that statement…
A Nazi is a person who supports Naziism.
A muslim is a person who supports islam.
Due to their devotion to islam, a muslim – in either a very small or very large degree – directly or indirectly supports jihad violence and sharia oppression.
So why is it bad to be anti-muslim?
Am I missing something?
Dan Schnittker says
I agree. Mr. Spencer should clarify this point. By asserting he is not anti-Muslim, he may mean he is not biased against any person, considered as an individual, who happens to be Muslim. But……to the degree that that Muslim is, well, a believing Muslim, what say you Mr. Spencer? Some call for a reformation of Islam, etc. But is this really possible? I suspect the only reform in Islam was by Mr. Wahhabi and cohort. (btw Protestant Reformation was no such thing, eh Robert?)
mortimer says
It was not ‘ANTI-RUSSIAN’ to condemn the Soviet Union. Russians en masse also condemned the Soviet Union.
The British Conservatives are trying to keep the lid on, but eventually, everyone will accept that Islam cannot be defended … It cannot be defended historically, morally or logically.
Islam is un-historical, amoral and self-referentially incoherent.
Terry Gain says
No James, IMHO you are not missing anything. I did not see your comment before I posted mine. We are ad idem.
James Lincoln says
Terry Gain,
In retrospect, maybe we should all cut Robert Spencer just a little slack. His knowledge of islam his encyclopedic and he is a staunch and devout anti-jihadist.
He has also been the target of murderers on at least two occasions that I am aware of:
Iceland, and Garland, Texas.
He has to carefully guard his language – for self-preservation.
Terry Gain says
James
I agree. I didn’t intend to attack Robert Spencer even if I disagree with him on this issue. I greatly admire Robert Spencer and his scholarship and industry. He of course can’t say he is anti-Muslim. I am not suggesting that he is. Nor can he say that Islam isn’t a religion. I am not suggesting that he doesn’t think it is not a religion.

I have posted many articles from jihad watch and always recd negative comments….so now i get the news from jihad watch and research it….all the articles to date have been true and accurate. I take the article out of a different paper and post THAT instead of jihad watches.
Lisa Bernstein says
I have had similar problems…..when i would cite jihad watch i would get lots of negative comments and some would just disregard the event because it came from jihad watch. Now i find the story in different places and cite it from it happened…
Terry Gain says
I often paste articles from Jihad Watch on my Facebook page. I want people to read this wonderfully informative site.
mortimer says
The criticism of Islamic supremacism is highly reasonable and fair-minded and in conformity with modern concepts of human rights. I am not a bigot for critiquing a POLITICAL IDEOLOGY … political Islam.
Jihadic supremacism is a total denial of the human rights and civil liberties of non-Muslims.
mortimer says
Coun Derek Bullock is not being given a fair trial to weigh the issues and the evidence.
He was given a KANGAROO COURT by the press with his own party as the prosecutor. No one was allowed to defend him.
The UK Conservatives are adrift without rational guidance. They are letting the Leftards set the agenda.
It is perhaps now generally known in the Conservative party that jihad is a CORE REQUIREMENT of Islam, as important to Islam as the sacraments are to Christian theology.
Because they know that JIHAD is a core teaching, the Conservatives don’t want anyone to reveal this example that the EMPEROR HAS NO CLOTHES ON.
JIHAD IS A CORE REQUIREMENT OF ISLAMIC PRACTICE. All Muslims are obliged to participate in jihad … even if only the jihad of the tongue … lying about jihad and misleading kafirs about jihad.
mortimer says
Sayeeda Warsi recently called for an inquiry into Islamophobia within Tory party, so the Tory party has endorsed this absurdity that it is somehow immoral to ANALYZE and INVESTIGATE POLITICAL ISLAM … a POLITICAL IDEOLOGY.
Does the Tory party also forbid analysis of communism or Nazism or Francoism or Maoism or Keynesianism?
If you cannot criticize a POLITICAL IDEOLOGY then that ideology is a holy cow. Since Voltaire, there have been no holy cows for European intellectuals.

Terry Gain says
The problem Mortimer is that Islam is regarded as a religion rather than a political ideology. This gives Islam virtual immunity from criticism. You can say that Islam is both a political ideology and a religion, but as is obvious, so long as Islam is regarded as a religion it will be immune from criticism.
mortimer says
Agree with TG. The Koran calls Islam a ‘DEEN’. The etymology of ‘DEEN’ is very important. The root word means ‘judgement’ or ‘law’ or ‘legal system’. A ‘deen’ should be translated into English as ‘A SYSTEM OF GOVERNANCE’.
Islam is, in fact, a sort of IMPERIAL CONSTITUTION that was delivered to the Koraysh tribe by Allah so that they have a divine mandate to CONQUER THE WORLD.
Allah wants Muslims to conquer the world because the kafirs do not worship Allah correctly. Allah hates that and wants Muslims to hate that too.
The motive of Islam is hatred. The method of Islam is jihad.
Terry Gain says
Good post Mortimer. But the more effective method at this point is propaganda. Of course Jihad and propaganda go hand in hand. People dare not question Islamic propaganda not only because they want to appear enlightened, but also because they fear Jihad. 9/11 worked. No sooner had the twin towers fallen than Bush was falsely declaring Islam to be a religion of peace. It is neither.
Anne Smith says
Warsi is a dreadful woman and of no value to Britain whatsoever.

Just grotesque. Coun Derek Bullock is *quite* right, especially about the vile “Baroness” Sayeeda Warsi.
OTTER says
Today, truth-speech is hate speech; fact-speak is hate speech when it comes to Islam. It is hate speech to point out their murders, it is hate speech to point out their perversions; it is hate-speech to if you condemn their hate; it is hate speech if invoke the first law of nature: self-defence. Any speech about Islam expect the most cowardly grovelling and unconditional surrender is hate speech.
Has the world gone absolutely mad? This is unprecedented in human history that the crimes of so many should be considered as absolutely beyond any mention and criticism. If they think they have the right to strike at our necks, then surely, my tongue has the right to speak before my neck is severed?
One day, I hope that Mr. Robert Spencer will be recognised for what he is: A true and incredibly brave HERO. How he carries on and on, telling the truth about Islam in the most incisive and irrefutable ways, when all he gets is hatred and disinformation, is beyond me. He is a SUPERMAN to survive such hate. Long live Robert Spencer!!!! May he be quoted and repeated ad infinitum.

“people would see that the article was true, accurate, inoffensive, and innocuous”
People are concerned that islam will inhibit a free exchange of ideas and might be dangerous and or destructive to them.
Within the establishments plan to combat islamophobia there is a clause, oppose any rational discussion, destroy those who don’t conform, make more enemies.
After all, the more enemies you make on your way to your goal is the best way to show that you are trustworthy and move forward.
maemae77 says
Islam demands submission . If you submit to Islam by not criticizing or telling the truth about Islam, you’re already a slave. That’s exactly how Islam works.
That’s how it enslaves a whole society. Too many people that don’t realize this have already doomed themselves.
Islam enslaves the mind, body and the soul.
There is no freedom or free though unless one wakes up but too many are in too deep and don’t know any better, especially if your born into it and those whom let it dictate what they do and believe.
tgusa says
You are correct and that is exactly how muslims have got where they are today. It is the non muslim establishment types that are submitting and forcing their submission on the people under color of law.
The greatest lie the devil could tell is that he doesn’t exist.
maemae77 says
Islamic psychological terrorism always comes before physical terrorism. In America’s case they gave us a taste of physical jihad when 9/11 *cough Quran 9:111 happened.
We should have taken that warning shot seriously. Now they’ve had decades to indoctrinate our kids and influence our society while using others hands to do it. Some our youth have already partially converted via mindset.
They know we wouldn’t ever agree to Islam, so they thought of a much better way of doing it while Americans not realizing it’s happening.
This is why a lot of our youth hate America and have a different mindset, the victimhood mindset. Both are Islamic mindsets.
This wouldn’t have happened without Muslims causing it to happen.
This mindset was not here before Muslims infiltrated. Before we all had an American mindset.
There are no coincidence. It’s all planned.
This is the job of the so called moderate Muslims. It does take millions of them together as a movement to make it happen.
maemae77 says
While they do this if anyone notices them doing it they come to their defense of their own ideology by deflecting. Making false claims on Jews, Christians making Islamic propaganda videos and sharing them all over social media.
There is approximately 330 million people in America to deceive. How do you think most Americans have been deceived about Islam. A few hundred Muslims couldn’t have possibly pulled it off. Muslims have to infiltrate every part of our society and do their part.
It’s a global movement and each have their own stage in each country they infiltrate.
Take a look around the world and you will see a book. If you see this then you can see where it starts and ends.
Look much deeper and you will be able to see how they’re doing it.
Muslims know but they lie to non-Muslims for the sake of spreading Islam, which is their #1 goal. America is their holy grail of countries they want to conquer.
When non-Muslims tell me, their Muslim friends are nice to them. I want to tell them they’re a stupid infidels.
If I told them the truth about Islam as I have told many, they would have to go through a grieving stage. Denial is what they give me because they can’t seem to fathom the reality of a culture that’s not like ours that doesn’t work like ours. They make the foolish mistake of applying the American culture to theirs. Big mistake.
Muslims are much less individual than Americans. They all have one goal. Americans don’t all have one goal.

“The Conservative leaders who suspended Bullock were fools, cowards, and betrayers of the British people” How very true!
Those Conservatives who object to this shabby political correctness should ‘name and shame’ those ignorant fools who suspended Bullock. Were they friends of former party chair Baroness Sayeeda Warsi? Of course Warsi has been a “cuckoo in the nest”!
It should be a major concern to every Conservative how someone like Warsi – a pious Muslim who owes her allegiance to the Islamic Ummah – was allowed to become a member of the Conservative Party. But that’s simply the Muslim tactic of infiltrating our civil organisations as part of their stealth jihad – and knowing that gutless leaders like Cameron and May and many others in the Party, would not dare challenge her right for fear of being labelled ‘Islamophobes’.
How many more Muslims are there in the Conservative Party? It would seem that it’s not only the Labour Party that’s allowed the Islamic foxes into the Hen House.
Islam has no place in a civilised society.

Islam can do no wrong in dhimmi UK, and even the most innocuous criticism of muslims can cost you your job. Become a councillor at your peril, the media will scan back through a decade of your social media posts looking for some remark you made, with which to condemn you.

AAAAANNNNND – Robert Spencer CUCKS AGAIN!
I really feel a tad sorry for you, Robert – having to maintain this critical thinking logical fallacy, that “Muslim” is merely an “ethnicity” or nationality at best, or a breed of humans, such as the block-head Germans in fact are – a distinct and historically identifiable breed, separate from even the nearly French and Italians – when of course, EXACTLY like “Nazis,” it really only designates one’s membership, however inherited it may be, in a global crime-and-murder gang.
But THIS is what you’re really saying, and it sucks that you still feel you have to phrase it this way:
“It is not “anti-Muslim” to oppose jihad violence and Sharia oppression (aka basic ISLAM).
If it were, it would have been “anti-Nazi” to oppose National Socialism.” Well, DUH!
PERISH THE THOUGHT!? Oops – too late!
Without “National Socialism” there can be no Nazis, so obviously to oppose the former is to oppose the latter; and ditto for islam – to successfully oppose and destroy islam is obviously, by extension, to thereby oppose and destroy all “muslims,” too!

Sharia Watch UK says
A useful self-defence guide to those facing charges of Islamophobia.
1. Ask the accusers/investigators if they agree with this European Court of Human Rights judgment summary:
ECHR:
Noting that the Welfare Party had pledged to set up a regime based on sharia law, the Court found that sharia was incompatible with the fundamental principles of democracy as set forth in the Convention. It considered that “sharia, which faithfully reflects the dogmas and divine rules laid down by religion, is stable and invariable. Principles such as pluralism in the political sphere or the constant evolution of public freedoms have no place in it”. According to the Court, it was difficult to declare one’s respect for democracy and human rights while at the same time supporting a regime based on sharia, which clearly diverged from Convention values, particularly with regard to its criminal law and criminal procedure, its rules on the legal status of women and the way it intervened in all spheres of private and public life in accordance with religious precepts.
Source: “ Annual Report 2003 of the European Court of Human Rights, Council of Europe”
http://www.echr.coe.int/Documents/Annual_report_2003_ENG.pdf
If they respond that that only applies to some ‘extreme version of sharia’ the responses are:
a. Are they accusing the ECHR of passing off an extreme version of sharia as representing sharia? That judgment was re-iterated in this case from 2017 and that court still referred only to sharia not some extreme version thereof:- http://hudoc.echr.coe.int/eng?i=001-117127
b. Has the Council of Europe lawyer misrepresented sharia when she said in this report:
“In this study I shall be looking at the general principles of Sharia law in relation to the European Convention on Human Rights”
“Sharia law is understood as being ‘the path to be followed’, that is, the ‘law’ to be obeyed by every Muslim.”
13. In Islamic family law, men have authority over women. Surah 4:34 states: ‘Men have authority over women because God has made the one superior to the other, and because they spend their wealth to maintain them. Good women are obedient. They guard their unseen parts because God has guarded them. As for those from whom you fear disobedience, admonish them and forsake them in beds apart, and beat them. Then if they obey you, take no further action against them. Surely God is high, supreme.’ While wives clearly have a duty of fidelity, husbands do not. In Sharia law, adultery is strictly prohibited. Legal doctrine holds that the evidence must take the form of corroborating testimony from four witnesses to prove an individual’s guilt. These witnesses must be men of good repute and good Muslims. The punishment is severe and degrading, namely ‘a hundred lashes’. In the case of rape, which is seldom committed in public before four male witnesses who are good Muslims, punishing the rapist is difficult if not impossible. In practice, this obliges women to be accompanied by men when they go out and is not conducive to their independence. While divorce by mutual consent is enshrined in Islamic law, the application has to come from the wife, since the husband can repudiate his wife at any time. There is also the question of equal rights with regard to divorce arrangements such as custody of children.
14. For division of an estate among the heirs, distinctions are made according to the sex of the heir. A male heir has a double share, whereas a female heir has a single share. The rights of a surviving wife are half those of a surviving husband.
15. In criminal cases, cruel, inhuman and degrading punishments are authorised by Sharia law, including death by stoning, beheading and hanging, amputation of limbs, and flogging. Apostasy results, firstly, in the apostate’s civil death, with the estate passing to the heirs, and, secondly, in the apostate’s execution if he or she does not recant.
Lastly, non-Muslims do not have the same rights as Muslims in civil and criminal [sharia] law, which is discrimination on the ground of religion within the meaning of Article 14 of the Convention.
http://www.assembly.coe.int/Committee/JUR/ajdoc282016.pdf
The last point regarding the rights of non-Muslims is no different in function to the Nazi Nuremberg laws against the Jews.
Also, particularly for members of the Conservative party in the UK, Council of Europe Resolution 2253 which was signed by the UK delegation in January 2019. The resolution has been adopted by the UK government (at the time, Theresa May was Prime Minister and Jeremy Hunt Foreign Secretary responsible for UK representation on the Council of Europe).
“The Assembly considers that the various Islamic declarations on human rights, adopted since the 1980s, while being more religious than legal, fail to reconcile Islam with universal human rights, especially insofar as Sharia is their unique source of reference.”
“The Assembly recalls that the European Court of Human Rights has already stated in Refah Partisi (The Welfare Party) and others v. Turkey that the institution of Sharia law and a theocratic regime are incompatible with the requirements of a democratic society. The Assembly fully agrees that Sharia rules on, for example, divorce and inheritance proceedings are clearly incompatible with the Convention, in particular its Article 14, which prohibits discrimination on grounds such as sex or religion, and Article 5 of Protocol No. 7 to the Convention (ETS No. 117), which establishes equality between marital partners. Sharia law is also in contradiction with other provisions of the Convention and its additional protocols, including Article 2 (right to life), Article 3 (prohibition of torture or inhuman or degrading treatment), Article 6 (right to a fair trial), Article 8 (right to respect for private and family life), Article 9 (freedom of thought, conscience and religion), Article 10 (freedom of expression), Article 12 (right to marry), Article 1 of the Protocol to the Convention (ETS No. 9) (protection of property) and Protocols Nos. 6 (ETS No. 114) and 13 (ETS No. 187) abolishing the death penalty.”
“The Assembly is also concerned about the “judicial” activities of “Sharia councils” in the United Kingdom. Although they are not considered part of the British legal system, Sharia councils attempt to provide a form of alternative dispute resolution, whereby members of the Muslim community, sometimes voluntarily, often under considerable social pressure, accept their religious jurisdiction mainly in marital issues and Islamic divorce proceedings but also in matters relating to inheritance and Islamic commercial contracts. The Assembly is concerned that the rulings of the Sharia councils clearly discriminate against women in divorce and inheritance cases. The Assembly is aware that informal Islamic courts may also exist in other Council of Europe member States.”
http://assembly.coe.int/nw/xml/XRef/Xref-XML2HTML-en.asp?fileid=25353
Next ask them of they agree with this moderate Islamic scholar:
Yahya Cholil Staquf – General Secretary of the largest Muslim organisation in the world:
“The truth, we recognise, is that jihadist doctrine, goals and strategy can be traced to specific tenets of orthodox, authoritative Islam and its historic practice. This includes those portions of Shariah that promote Islamic supremacy, encourage enmity towards non-Muslims and require the establishment of a caliphate. It is these elements – still taught by most Sunni and Shiite institutions – that constitute a summons to perpetual conflict.
It is our firm view that, if Muslims do not address the key tenets of Islamic tradition that encourage this violence, anyone – at any time – can harness them to defy what they claim to be illegitimate laws and butcher their fellow citizens, whether they live in the Islamic world or the West. This is what links so many current events, from Syria to the streets of London.
There is a desperate need for honest discussion of these matters. This is why it worries me to see Western political and intellectual elites weaponise the term “Islamophobia,” to short-circuit analysis of a complex phenomenon that threatens all humanity. For example, it is factually incorrect and counter-productive to define Islamophobia as “rooted in racism,” as proposed by the All-Party Parliamentary Group on British Muslims. In reality, it is the spread of Islamist extremism and terror that primarily contributes to the rise of Islamophobia throughout the non-Muslim world.
That is why it is vital to challenge the prevailing “Muslim mindset,” which is predicated upon enmity and suspicion towards non-Muslims, and often rationalises perpetrating violence in the name of Islam. Otherwise, non-Muslims will continue to be radicalised by Islamist attacks and by large-scale Muslim migration to the West.”

“The way I see it, what ISIS did was that they want to force the reality of today’s living to be following what is in the source of Islamic teaching. Everything they [ISIS] did, they have the justification from the authoritative references of Islamic teachings.”

It may also be worth obtaining a copy of the Shafi’i manual of sharia law, The Reliance of the Traveller (Umdat al-Salik):
This manual, which has been endorsed by al-Azhar university as “conforming to the practice and faith of orthodox Sunni Islam”, specifies:
Death for apostates
Death by stoning for adultery and sodomy
Amputation of limbs for theft
Restrictions on non-Muslims, particularly that non-Muslims must “keep to the side of the street” (= step out of the way of Muslims”) and wear clothing that distinguishes them from Muslims (functionally the same as the Jews being forced to wear the Star of David by the Nazis).

Yeah, Robert, I’ve been tried to be made a victim; talking about terrorists, of anti-Indian protesters, especially in New Delh ,who have shot common people and police officers,i and some other towns.Videos, showing women having Biryani and receiving Rs. 500.00 for 8 hours of sit in at Shaheen Bagh were viral, on Twitter.Now, the problem is that Twitter India and India T^V (a Hindi Channel) run by(,God bless him) Rajat Sharma, showed the truth,so I didn’t bother.I’m a school teacher in a rural area, where I was declared a you know what..These didn’t work.I’m 1000% secular, been since childhood. So my reputation is sullied somewhat, I guess. I talked about the minorities in Pakistan, whose number has dwindled from 17% in 1947 to just 1.5 % now. Young minority girls, as young as 15 years, both Sikh , Hindu and
Christian, are kidnapped and married off to sons of the soil. This is why Our N.Modi Govt. enacted the Citizenship Amendment Act, to allow the minorities in Pak and B’desh to become Indian Citizens.The PMs of India and Pak had signed a treaty in 1950, to take care o0f there minorities, but that hasn’t happened.Here, the state Govt. is not like PM Modi’s.So, I’d to write here to make my views clear, as some ( people), who don’t like me, but can’t come and face ME, are cowards and nincompoops of the worst order.COME, Talk to ME> Show that you are a man, not a womwn.

You’d think that Manchester (being the city where little girls were blown up after a pop concert) would have a more realistic attitude when it comes to the threat of Jihad, but no. Manchester, is still in a state of denial and is clinging to the myth of a pluralistic society.
I wonder what it’s going to take for the people of Manchester (and indeed the U.K.) to actually wake up?
If little girls being destroyed by a nail bomb doesn’t open their eyes, what will?
Terry Gain says
9/11 didnt wake up America. Terrorism works. if not too widespread.
Richard says
Terry, violent Jihad is a global issue, but there is truth to what you’re saying. It’s only when we view the statistics worldwide, that we can truly see what’s going on. Maybe it’s up to us to remind people of these attacks? In my experience, people tend to ignore this when it’s not happening on their doorsteps. I have a feeling that’s about to change because Erdogan is flooding Europe with Muslims as we speak. There will inevitably be consequences to that, which I’m not looking forward to.

See how powerful are Bilbergers ! They pressure the highest authorities in a western country ,then everyone has to submit .How come every one in power under the highest authorities submit ? Because they fear something . They fear to lost their job , their porivileges , their belongings . They could lost alll this if their sexual life is unveiled in public .So , they submit . Fear is a powerful motor . Look at North Korea where children performs flawless in Korean Games . You would too if your parents can get killed or sent to goulags due to your error !

(HERE YOU CAN CALL IT BY ITS NAME, SATANIC ISLAM)
The west is facing something, far, far, more evil than nazi’ism ever was.
The 2 prongs of its attack are terrorism and deception/lies from the enemies smiling faces, to disguise what the enemies teachings really are, even though their teachings are plain for everyone to see in their own books and by the barbaric and evil acts they do all over the world, obeying those teachings.
Why are they the enemy?, because any area or country not controlled by them is deemed, by them, to be ‘THE HOUSE OF WAR’ and anyone not of them, are deemed the enemy, that is fighting against against them by not being part of them.
