EDL-supporting UKIP candidate claims ‘Islam is organised crime under religious camouflage’

Posted on by Bob Pitt

Magnus NielsenUkip could be haemorrhaging candidates before the May elections with yet more derogatory and offensive comments revealed from its prospective councillors.

One Enfield council candidate, William Henwood, suggested the comedian Lenny Henry leave Britain to live in a “black country”. He was responding Twitter to comments from Henry that there were not enough ethnic minority faces on the BBC. The Ukip candidate tweeted in response: “He should emigrate to a black country. He does not have to live with whites.”

He is not the only candidate to have extreme views revealed in the past week since the party’s manifesto was launched. A Ukip Camden candidate Magnus Nielsen [pictured] wrote on Facebook that most mosques in the UK have been “taken over” by “fundamentalists”. “Islam is organised crime under religious camouflage. Any Muslim who is not involved in organised crime is not a ‘true believer’, practising Islam as Mohammed commanded,” he wrote on his page.

UKIP candidate compares Islam to Nazism

Posted on by Bob Pitt

A UKIP candidate has defended tweets in which he said comedian Lenny Henry should emigrate to a “black country” and compared Islam to the Third Reich.

William Henwood, who is standing in a council election, said he did not think the messages were offensive. He tweeted after Henry said there should be more black and ethnic minority people in creative industries.

UKIP said it was a “non-racist, non-sectarian party whose members are expected to uphold these values”.

Mr Henwood told BBC political correspondent Ross Hawkins: “I think if black people come to this country and don’t like mixing with white people why are they here? If he (Henry) wants a lot of blacks around go and live in a black country.”

On another occasion Mr Henwood tweeted: “Islam reminds me of the 3rd Reich Strength through violence against the citizens.”

High street lawyers to get formal training in Islamic Sharia law

Posted on by Bob Pitt

That’s the headline to an article in today’s Sunday Telegraph, which resumes the paper’s hysterical campaign against the Law Society’s supposed complicity in the Islamification of the UK. As before, Baroness Cox is quoted as an authority. And what illustration did the Telegraph choose to accompany their report? Yes, it was the one below, of a group of Anjem Choudary’s supporters.

An ideological war against UK Muslims in schools?

Posted on by Bob Pitt

Assed Baig analyses the hysteria around the supposed “Trojan Horse” plot by Islamists to take over Birmingham schools. He points out that Michael Gove’s background of Islamophobia (he is the author of the scaremongering anti-Islam book Celsius 7/7 and a member of the right-wing think-tanks Policy Exchange and the Henry Jackson Society) renders the education secretary incapable of examining the issues in an objective fashion.

BNP’s proposed election broadcast features vile anti-Muslim animation

Posted on by Bob Pitt

BNP election broadcast 2014Vile cartoons of Muslims swilling alcopops and chasing pre-pubescent girls, as well as graphic depictions of Lee Rigby’s murderer, could be broadcast on the BBC and ITV this week, submitted as the BNP’s official party election broadcast.

The party can submit a five-minute broadcast to major channels ahead of the May European elections.

An 10-second clip, leaked to The Huffington Post UK, shows an animation of a girl and the BNP’s bulldog mascot looking at a billboard which says ‘Muslim Grooming Gangs At Large’. She is then confronted with a gang of Muslims in traditional dress, swigging blue WKDs, as a background song to the tune of ‘All Things Bright And Beautiful’ mentions how “there’s some who prey on little girls from takeaways and taxis”.

The girl walks past a burqa-wearing Big Issue seller with a small boy, with a sign saying ‘Sale’ around his neck. She encounters a black silhouette, with blood red hands, a clear reference to Woolwich soldier Lee Rigby’s murderer Michael Adebolajo, as the song references those who “kill with knives and axes”.

Former chair of Texas Republican Party warns of Muslim plot to conquer USA

Posted on by Bob Pitt

Cathie AdamsThe government and the culture of the United States are being infiltrated and undermined by “a warring religion,” and the Muslim Brotherhood is behind the drive, conservative political activist Cathie Adams warned those attending Tuesday’s meeting of the Texas Patriot Tea Party.

Adams, a former state chair of the Republican Party of Texas, is president of Texas Eagle Forum, the Lone Star arm of Phyllis Schlafly’s Eagle Forum. Adams said she has studied in Israel and worked with Jewish people, as well as studying the reach of the Muslim Brotherhood in the U.S. and around the world.

The Muslim Brotherhood is a transnational Islamic political organization that has the stated goals of establishing Islamic Sharia law as “the basis for controlling the affairs of state and society” and unifying “Islamic countries and states, mainly among the Arab states, and liberating them from foreign imperialism.”

But Adams said that the Muslim Brotherhood’s agenda includes creating a worldwide Islamic state, including the U.S., by overturning the laws and constitutions of other countries and replacing them all with Sharia law. It’s motto, she said, is “Allah is our objective. The Prophet is our leader. The Quran is our law. Jihad is our way. Dying in the way of Allah is our highest hope.”

Adams told her audience on Tuesday not to be taken in by claims that Islam is a peaceful religion, adding that just listening to public statements by Muslim leaders and reading the tenets of Islam provides ample evidence to the contrary.

Sharia law, Adams said, tells Muslims everything on how to live, and that it is “held by every Muslim,” not just extremists. “How do you know who is going to turn radical when every Muslim embraces Sharia law?” she said.

Adams said that while Islam teaches Muslims not to lie to other Muslims, on the other hand it demands that Muslims lie to non-Muslims when necessary to protect and promote Islam. “If it’s a Muslim telling you something, you really don’t know if it’s the truth or a lie,” she said.

And while Muslims are “extremely hospitable when you are under their roof,” as required by their religion, that hospitality ends as soon as you leave their home. “Walk out of their home and you can be shot in the back,” Adams said.

Rutherford County seeks high court rejection of mosque lawsuit appeal

Posted on by Bob Pitt

MURFREESBORO — The U.S. Supreme Court should reject hearing an appeal about Rutherford County’s public notice before approval of a mosque, according to attorneys for the county.

“Defendants pray the Court deny the petitioners’ petition for writ of certiorari,” states a document sent this week to the high court in Washington, D.C., from county lead defense attorney Josh McCreary and County Attorney Jim Cope.

The document is in response to plaintiffs led by Kevin Fisher, Henry Golczynski and Lisa Moore asking for the high court to hear their case. Their attorneys recently completed their request for an appeal for a case that initially started September 2010 in seeking to stop construction of the Islamic Center of Murfreesboro from being built on Veals Road off Bradyville Pike.

9/11 museum film draws heat for portrayal of Islam

Posted on by Bob Pitt

9-11 MuseumA film that will be shown at the National September 11 Memorial Museum when it opens next month unfairly links Islam and terrorism, clergy members said in letters demanding it be changed.

“The Rise of Al Qaeda,” a brief documentary narrated by NBC anchor Brian Williams, shows the growth of international terrorist groups in the years leading up to the 2001 attacks. The film has not been publicly released, but museum officials have screened it for groups including an interfaith clergy advisory panel.

Members of the clergy group sent a letter to museum officials this week asking that the film be re-edited to make it clear that not all Muslims support the terrorists who destroyed the World Trade Center.

“We continue to posit that the video may very well leave viewers with the impression that all Muslims bear some collective guilt or responsibility for the actions of al-Qaida, or even misinterpret its content to justify bigotry or even violence toward Muslims or those perceived to be Muslim (e.g., Sikhs),” the clergy members wrote. The signers included Peter B. Gudaitis, chief executive of New York Disaster Interfaith Services, and the Rev. Chloe Breyer, executive director of the Interfaith Center of New York.
