“Counter-terrorism police in the UK are investigating far-right groups accused of trying to use the coronavirus crisis to stoke anti-Muslim sentiment.”
But the so-called “far right” individuals mentioned in this article — Tommy Robinson, Katie Hopkins and UKIP leader Gerard Batten — have not been picking on Muslims. They’ve been telling the truth. If Muslim gatherings continue during the coronavirus pandemic, they should be reported. There is evidence that Muslims are breaching the lockdown, as several Muslim leaders around the world have called upon Muslims to do so. And according to the Daily Mail, the “Islamic community is devastated by coronavirus pandemic,” to the extent that mass graves of up to 10 people are being dug. Maybe this has no connection to anyone breaching the lockdown. Maybe it does.
The police witch hunt, however, will not target the Daily Mail for daring to report on the devastation in the Muslim community. The witch hunt is specifically targeted at those labelled as far-right groups. It’s yet another ploy by the failed globalist establishment to attack those who are trying to preserve Britain as a free society in the face of mass migration and the government’s failure to act on rampant rape gang activity and much more.
It isn’t only Muslim groups that are being highlighted in the British media as posing a problem during the coronavirus pandemic, either, as the counter-terrorism police would have people believe. Other reports have identified Christian and Jewish communities which are not abiding by rules of social distancing: “Jewish leaders fear ultra-Orthodox Jews have missed isolation message” and “Coronavirus: ‘Super-spreading’ at ‘cult’ church sees 2.5 million people told to stay indoors.”
Still, attempts to hammer in the message of Muslim victimology and “Islamophobia” continue during the pandemic, above all other interests.
“Police investigate UK far-right groups over anti-Muslim coronavirus claims,” by Nazia Parveen, Guardian, April 5, 2020:
Counter-terrorism police in the UK are investigating far-right groups accused of trying to use the coronavirus crisis to stoke anti-Muslim sentiment.
The monitoring group Tell Mama said that in March it recorded dozens of incidents of far-right groups allegedly trying to put blame on British Muslims for the spread of the virus.
The group said it had had to debunk numerous claims made on social media that Muslims were breaching the lockdown by continuing to attend mosques to pray. There were also incidents where Muslims were attacked, it said.
In one tweet from a prominent white nationalist, claims were made that Muslims were breaching the lockdown by congregating outside a mosque in Wembley. Tell Mama debunked this claim, and after it encouraged others users to report the content, Twitter removed the tweet and placed restrictions on the account.
A video shared on Telegram by Tommy Robinson, the founder and former leader of the English Defence League (EDL), was alleged to show a group of Muslim men leaving a “secret mosque” in inner-city Birmingham. The video was watched 10,000 times on the platform. The claims were subsequently dismissed by West Midlands police.
West Yorkshire police similarly dismissed images allegedly showing Muslims attending Friday prayers, pointing out they were taken before the lockdown was announced.
Shropshire police took action after a tweet from a far-right-leaning account maliciously claimed that a mosque was flouting the lockdown. The content was also reported to Twitter.
Iman Atta, the director of Tell Mama, said: “These extremists are using coronavirus to get their pervasive message across that somehow the Muslim communities are to blame for the spreading of the virus.
“It is mainly repeat offenders – individuals who are already known to hold anti-Muslim views – who are repeatedly seeing this as a way to cause community turmoil and tension. It is at times like this when there are pressures in society that some people manipulate this to fuel hate and division across communities.”
High-profile accounts linked to spreading malicious rumours against Muslims have included those of Katie Hopkins and the former Ukip leader Gerard Batten….
Boromir's Horn says
If telling the truth and pointing out facts “cause community turmoil and tension” is the community really better off with the alternative, or is this just another step down the road to no return?
Savvy Kafir says
It’s that second thing, BH — the road to no return. Britain seems to go further down that road every day.
Anyone who would like to see the UK’s slide towards oblivion reversed should support Anne Marie Waters’ For Britain party. Become a member, whether you’re a Brit or not. Throw some money their way — a little or a lot. And help to promote the party via social media, blogs, etc. At this point, the For Britain party is that country’s only hope for survival as a free, civilized society, short of a violent revolution or civil war.
Boromir's Horn says
SK we here in the U.S. are just a few years behind the same death knell

I’m a mid 40s gent. This civil war. I’ve been telling people this for over 20 years. #totallyawake. There would be going back after a civil war.

Canada, under Liberal Justin Trudeau has gone this path on steroids. His party says negative comments re. Muslim Orgs. etc. etc. is illegal hate speech. So much for the freedoms Canada has always enjoyed. No critique No comments on our own future are allowed. This is not something Canadian’s voted on.
David Hancock (@makingsense136) says
The Canadians did vote on it. They recently voted Trudeau and his Liberals back in to government.
Roger Woodhouse says
‘Biological warfare’ is being conducted by some radical muslims.They have been seen (videoed)deliberately smearing door knobs and other well used handles with their own saliva.Some Imams have been preaching this kind of behaviour telling muslims they are ‘protected by Allahhhh’.This third world mentality is being aimed at gullible and poorly educated muslims in Britain.We the indigenous just have to ‘accept it’ or face prosecution for ‘hate crime’ allegation.
Lydia Church says
It is no longer the crime, but exposing the crime; that has become the “crime” in today’s Orwellian society!

WATCH: Also in Mönchengladbach, Germany – Muslims ignore the ban on gatherings because of the Corona virus – German police do not intervene
Years ago it was still said that there would be no muezzin call in Germany. So times are changing. City after city must now endure the oriental noise. Also in this video from Mönchengladbach the police is missing again, who allegedly take tough action against violations of the ban on gatherings because of Corona.

mortimer says
As Christine Douglass-Williams wisely points out, telling the truth about QUARANTINE-BREAKERS is not prejudiced, it is a matter of public health. Any group that violates the quarantine puts all of society at risk.
Most people do not know that houses of worship were closed from October 1918 until January 1919 in many places during the Spanish Flu Pandemic.
UK’s ongoing war against dissent in the UK will only stop when the UK develops energy sources that liberate them from Dhimmitude under Islamic countries.
JUST STOP BUYING THEIR DAMN OIL. British scientists can find ways to use other fuels, hydrogen being the most promising.
The repression of freedom of expression is coming from the Home Office. When Boris Johnson returns to full health, he should clean the Aegean Stables at the Home Office … a hot-bed of leftist-globalist traitors.
Savvy Kafir says
I agree. The entire Western world needs to wean itself off of oil as quickly as possible. That would be a HUGE blow to the Muslim world, especially the chief exporters of “extremist”/pure Islam and sponsors of jihadi terrorism. Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are the future.
tim gallagher says
It would certainly be wonderful to see all our countries break free of reliance on Muslim oil, Mortimer and Savvy Kafir. It has to be the answer to a lot of all this pandering to the Muslim enemy of all our values. If we didn’t need to use Muslim oil, I think, in the long run, we could tell the Muslims to bugger off. We could then tell them, we don’t need you, we’re not the slightest bit interested in your loathsome ideology and you can go to hell. I’d love to see the oil wealth of the Muslim enemy disappear over a period of time and they could go back to living their useless, primitive lives, which have nothing of worth to offer the human race. I guess this is all way off in the future for many countries.
Roger Woodhouse says
We could tell them to ‘bugger off ‘by simply banning their terrorist manual the Koran.Those who are unable to live without it are free to leave.
Aunty Podes says
One has to wonder, do the Arabic nations realise that the days of oil supporting them with $zillions to spare are soon going to end and that is why they are “encouraging” emigration to Europe. Not only encouraging, either, but compelling the refugee movements by all the internecine atrocities.
ck2202 (@ck2202ck) says
Under Boris Johnson at least the home of my ancestors, Britain, will be safer. Not so in Canada.
Buraq says
Muslims are guilty of Pandephobia! And the world says and does nothing. The Ramadan vector, coming soon, will spread the virus far and wide. Stay clear of Muslims, Mosques and anything they touch.
Carolyn Marlin says
Sir in USA are Dems standing for laws to protect crime makers and to hell with time cost to tax payers?
mortimer says
Parishioners at Temple Baptist Church in Greenville, Mississippi were issued $500 tickets by police for attending a sermon held in the church parking lot where everyone stayed in their cars and listened to the pastor on the radio.
Temple Baptist member Chris Owens videoed as police handed out citations for the “illegal” gathering.
“Somewhere right now in the city of Greenville real crime is going on and they got half the police squad in Temple Baptist Church,” he said. “70 and 80-year-old people that most of them have never had a speeding ticket. But this is a better use of Greenville’s resources.”
After being ticketed, Owens noted he was “just handed a ticket by a man with no gloves. He gave me an ink pen to sign it and he was not wearing gloves.”
Owens also claimed church attendees were complying with the state’s coronavirus regulations and that the police were the ones breaking the social distancing ordinance by “forcing us to make human contact.”
gravenimage says
This is pretty crazy, Mortimer. Sounds as thought the police in this case were causing more of a hazard than the church-goers practicing social distancing in their cars.
Rufolino says
Here in Italy, I went to the nearest supermarket.
A Carabiniero on the door said, “Where are you from ? You cannot enter. You must buy food in your own district. If you come here I will fine you.”.
I said, “Well thank you very much !”. He said, ” It’s a pleasure. ”
There is no supermarket in my own rural district.
The cure is sometimes worse than the disease.
I went in the opposite direction, to a supermarket on the other side of my district, and consciously broke the law. Either that or go hungry.

Jayell says
Isn’t it strange that anyone who opposes anything to do with islam is automatically ‘far right’ or an ‘extremist’ or a ‘nationalist’? They’re wrong on the first two counts because (a) islam isn’t ‘left wing’ or in any way democrstically categorisable, (b) and you don’t have to be an extremist to consider islam inacceptable, and by recogising ‘nationalists’ as opponents one is admitting to one’s imperialist ambitions in wishing to destroy any national group’s right to self-protection.
Jayell says
Sorry, should also have added that this coronavirus episode has given yet one more opportunity for the UK police to demonstrate their new-found fascist tendencies.
James Lincoln says
Jayell says,
“Isn’t it strange that anyone who opposes anything to do with islam is automatically ‘far right’ or an ‘extremist’ or a ‘nationalist’?”
If someone wants to erroneously labeled me “far right” for opposing islam, I don’t care.
I really don’t.
And I don’t have to prove to anybody that I’m NOT far right…
Terry Gain says
James
All of us who are willing to publicly oppose Islam are called names. I usually respond that the names aren’t true and that being called names won’t deter me from not welcoming an ideology which has both a doctrine and a history of conquest.
I point out that Islam opposes the fundamental freedoms and values which have enabled us to create an advanced civilization and we put our way of life at risk if we welcome Islam’s adherents.
gravenimage says
Yes–the idea that if you are for freedom of speech and women’s rights and gays not being thrown off rooftops that you are “far right” is truly Orwellian.
ELI says
One of the biggest problems is the selective reporting where if there’s a twitter post about Muslims it becomes front page.
Meanwhile, one of the major problems in NY (and Israel) is Orthodox Jews’s refusal to heed warnings, and not a peep from Jihadwatch.

stanley says
“fuel hate and division across communities”. Yeah right officer, you also said that when people highlighted organised child rape gangs, and critisized the ideology that brainwashed people to commit acts of terror. Whatever you say officer, afterall, diversity is strength and all that.
ELI says
Not a peep, let’s look for something, anything about Muslims and redirect anger there.
Ignore it at all cost!
gravenimage says
ELI’s only purpose since he showed up a couple of weeks ago is Tu Qouque–generally false Tu Quoque–that the ‘filthy Infidels” are as bad as Muslims. He has, for instance, pretended that foolish Infidels flouting social distancing during the Coronavirus are no different from Muslims actually trying to spread the disease to unbelievers.
I have asked ELI at least a dozen times now if he has any problem with violent Jihad, and he will not say he does. Note that he also ignored Stanley’s citing of Jihad terror.
ELI says
Strange, I have also been waiting for you to condemn people other than Muslims for ignoring coronavirus regulations on religious grounds but not a peep out of you either. What must I conclude based on your logic
By the way did you hear about the white supremacist plot to spread the coronavirus? that one was based on something more than a twitter post. Strangely, it did not get much coverage on jihadwatch.
gravenimage says
What crap this is from ELI–I have, in fact, said that *anyone* flouting social distancing now is a fool or worse, and is endangering themselves and their neighbors.
It is highly unlikely that ELI has missed this.
I had to look for that story he referred to–he didn’t bother to include a link. I found it here:
“White supremacists encouraging their members to spread coronavirus to cops, Jews, FBI says”
https://abcnews.go.com/US/white-supremacists-encouraging-members-spread-coronavirus-cops-jews/story?id=69737522
Of course I condemn this–why would ELI pretend that I am for spreading this disease, for assaulting police and Jews, and for neo-Nazis, when everything I have posted here makes plain that I am not? But ELI has to lie about me, because he’s got nothing else.
Meanwhile, he *still* refuses to say anything against Jihad terror. There is only one thing to conclude from this, and it isn’t pretty.

ELI = lebel, obviously

Sounds very plausible, Leo. Certainly the same sort of troll.

In Oldham the Police were confronted by up to 70 plus Muslim refusing to do as the rest of us are doing. Reported as a small group of people on the streets. By local news.

Ramadam is due to start on 24th April, now that will throw a spanner or two into the works.

I’ve regularly seen groups of Muslims congregating together flouting the lockdown in the UK. On one occasion I reported a group of ten of them to the police. Muslims do not belong in civilised societies.

Wellington says
Wish this was not so, but the British Police en masse are now part of a huge problem and in no way part of a huge solution.
Put another way, the British Police have become enemies of freedom. Shame on them forever for this. I can actually understand, loath as I am to state this, that ordinary Brits should now look upon the British police as an aggregate enemy of liberty.
James Lincoln says
Wellington says,
“…ordinary Brits should now look upon the British police as an aggregate enemy of liberty.”
Unfortunately, that is a correct statement.
I’m sure that Tommy Robinson can corroborate it…

I wonder how many people actually want to die just because they’re female and have a traditional Muslim husband and live in a fundamentalist Muslim town of a traditional Muslim province, which in turn are “watched over” by a “Supreme Council” of old farts who think djinn also hate women.
Simon Platt says
Hello.
Gerard Batten is no longer UKIP leader, sadly. His term of office was up almost a year ago. He planned not to stand again, but wax encouraged and eventually persuaded to do so by some of his supporters, among whom I am one. Sadly, the UKIP National Executive Committee refused him permission to stand, and eventually suspended his membership. They claim he’s brought UKIP into disrepute, because of his association, however slight, with Tommy Robinson.
There’s more, much more, and worse, too, but it would depress me and bore readers if it were rehearsed in detail, here. Suffice it to say that UKIP has even taken over by a bad lot and hasn’t much of a future if it remains in their hands.

Thanks for that grim news, Simon.

UK: “counter-terrorism police” investigating the “far right” for stoking “anti-Muslim sentiment” during coronavirus

The reason for all this is very simple.
Politicians want the Muslim vote.

Nemeth says
Birmingham with it’s large Muslim population would appear to be a hotspot of COVID-19 infection. Across England Asians apparently occupy 35% of intensive care hospital beds. A percentage like that speaks for itself.
Kerry Wade says
Britain’s paedo police can never be trusted as an organisation. It is a completely corrupt morally sick and cowardly craven to Muslim barbarity. There ought to have been multiple resignations of those paedo police with stiff prison sentences. Never trust the British police, I know from personal experience that they are filthy liars when they believe it will benefit them.
Tay says
UK police have no doubt weeded out most right-wing officers over the past decade or so. Or any that remain, choose to keep quiet due to the pathetic way the country and its laws have gone.
And I’m guessing that theres a large amount of left-wing officers in the forces across the country now. Meaning they have no problem victimising the likes of Katie Hopkins, Tommy Robinson, etc….
No wonder the country is fucked!!

The left learned nothing from the Iranian Islamic revolution. They were used by the Ayatollahs, then when their usefulness was no longer needed. Their heads were paraded around on spikes.

Government & all you do gooders need to open your bloody eyes to these people,
It’s got brought out for everyone to see, we can all see it but you lot cant for god’s sake,
Why is it one rule for them & one completely different one for us,
Break them up? No praying together & shut all mosques like we have the churches,
Stop looking for votes for fuck sake because that’s all your doing it for!!
This situation we are in won’t go away untill you break THEM up,
Then they might not take up 40/45% of the hospital beds,
