“The Arabic words, Salaam, Islam and Muslim all derive from the same root, however to describe this as peace is another clever use of semantics. A steady stream of officials from the New Labour authorised Muslim Council of Britain, have being towing the party line, Islam = Peace. When you here these words again you must not think in terms of peace and love in any sense of the meaning meant by the Beatles, Jimmy [sic] Hendrix and what you feel after a weekend at Glastonbury, but think more on the lines of total SUBMISSION to the will of Allah and his followers on earth.

“The potent force of Islamic terrorism, violence and intimidation in areas bordering Muslim communities, backed up with New Labour legislation to silence those brave enough to speak out against this threat to our civilization is enough to focus the mind. Until the whole world is in submission to Allah, there can be no peace. A fact the people of Britain already have been getting used to on a daily basis in Bradford, Burnley, Keighley, and Oldham before the recent atrocities that have captured all the headlines.”

The BNP denounces the Guardian for “employing a trainee journalist who turns out to be a member of a militant Islamist organisation – Hizb ut-Tahrir. This radical group is banned in many western European countries but the Guardian happily allows their trainee to report from Leeds”.

BNP news release, 23 July 2005

Which rather overlooks the fact that yesterday the Guardian succumbed to pressure and sacked the trainee, Dilpazier Aslam, after a campaign (see here) by right-wing bloggers.

Far-right groups are making fresh attempts to capitalise on the London terror bombings, the Guardian has learned. The British National party has begun national distribution of a leaflet which shows the blast-damaged number 30 bus, in which 30 people died in Tavistock Square on July 7. It tells potential members: “Don’t get mad – get even”.

“Only one organisation in Britain speaks out clearly and fearlessly to warn of the danger Islam poses to our traditions, freedoms, democracy and Christian heritage – the British National Party.”

The BNP warns of the threat posed by … the Muslim Council of Britain.

“… yesterday evening, as the BBC multi-culti propaganda machine was spewing out its usual ‘wonders of diversity’ fantasies, Nick Griffin was speaking to BNP members from Beeston, who were attending a Leeds BNP meeting to reveal the truth about life for Christians in general and the English in particular in what young Muslims now proudly call ‘the Terror Capital of Britain’. Local people whose families have lived in the area for generations face daily acts of vandalism to their cars and homes, anti-white racist abuse, threats and violence. Time after time they have told visiting reporters and TV cameras what they and their friends have to suffer at the hands of the thugs among their ‘peaceful’ Muslim neighbours, and time after time they have found their plight ignored.”
