Blame terrorism on migrants – Daily Mail

Deadly Cost of Open Borders

Editorial comment  in the Daily Mail, 1 August 2005

THE more we learn, the worse it gets.

One of the July 21 failed suicide bombers Hussain Osman was an Ethiopian posing as a Somali who used fake documents to gain asylum in this country (even though he’d been living for years in Italy) and later a British passport.

He fled Britain last Tuesday – five days after failing to blow up himself and others at Shepherd’s Bush Tube station.

Despite a national anti-terrorist alert at an unprecedented level neither he nor his passport were checked by British officials at Waterloo’s Eurostar terminal because such checks were scrapped last year as a cost-cutting measure. (With breathtaking insouciance the Leader of the Commons Geoff Hoon said yesterday the Home Office ‘will be looking at that’.)

Oh yes – and he and the rest of the terrorist cell have milked the benefits system of more than £300,000.

There, in a nutshell, is the scandal of our asylum and immigration system.

MAB complains to the CRE over Times article

Posted on by Bob Pitt

MAB logoIn today’s The Times, Anthony Browne, a renowned Zionist Right-wing commentator who has made his campaign to attack Muslims and their faith in the most despicable manner, wrote another disgusting attack under the title ‘Fundamentally, We’re Useful Idiots’.

In his article, Browne chose to go out ‘all guns blazing’ and accuse Muslims of being the Nazis and Fascists of today, treating all others with disdain and considering them ‘sub-humans’. On more than one occasion, Browne wrote of the ‘similarities’ between Muslims and Hitler and also stated that the Eminent Sheikh Yusuf Al-Qaradawi is a moderate ‘in the same way that Mussolini was’.

It is clear that Anthony Browne has chosen to go beyond the pale and to blatantly accuse Muslims and particularly MAB of being fascists and Nazis. The magnitude of his statement regarding Sheikh Qaradawi can only be measured if one were to imagine the Pope being accused of being a Nazi, and the outcry and outrage that would generate.

Anas Altikriti, speaking on behalf of MAB stated earlier: “The Muslim Association of Britain will be forwarding an official complaint to the Commission of Racial Equality (CRE), and have written a letter to The Times in response to the article. “However, it is also vital that British Muslims contact The Times to sound their disgust of Anthony Browne and the hate-fuelled discourse he promotes. “At a time when all Muslims come under immense pressure from all corners through no fault of their own, Browne’s article can only lead to more hate, division and even violence against Muslims throughout the country.”

Qaradawi and MAB – ‘Islamic fascists’

Posted on by Bob Pitt

London vigil“Elements within the British establishment were notoriously sympathetic to Hitler. Today the Islamists enjoy similar support.

“In the 1930s it was Edward VIII, aristocrats and the Daily Mail; this time it is left-wing activists, The Guardian and sections of the BBC. They may not want a global theocracy, but they are like the West’s apologists for the Soviet Union – useful idiots….

“The support of Islamic fascism spans Britain’s Left. The wacko Socialist Workers Party joined forces with the Muslim Association of Britain, the democracy-despising, Shariah-law-wanting group, to form the Stop the War Coalition. The former Labour MP George Galloway created the Respect Party with the support of the MAB, and won a seat in Parliament by cultivating Muslim resentment.

“When I revealed on these pages last year both the fascist views of Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi, the spiritual leader of the Muslim Brotherhood, and the fact that he was being welcomed to Britain by Ken Livingstone, the Mayor of London, it caused a storm that has still to abate. Mr Livingstone claims that Sheikh al-Qaradawi is a moderate – which he is, in the same way that Mussolini was.”

Campaign against Hizb ut-Tahrir continues

Posted on by Bob Pitt

The Independent on Sunday makes its contribution to the ongoing campaign to associate Hizb ut-Tahrir with the London bombings. The “authorities” quoted in the article are Zeyno Baran and Ariel Cohen, two hardline right-wingers in the US who are associated with such objective sources of information as National Review Online and The Counterterrorism Blog.

And in an interview with the Sunday Times General Musharraf repeats his call for a ban on the organisation.

Britain ‘taken for suckers by the Muslim immigration wave’

Posted on by Bob Pitt

“Our English cousins are getting a brutal lesson in reality: Multiculturalism will kill you if you don’t watch out…. Public opinion in Britain, in fact, appears to be saying enough, already. There’s a growing consensus that the British have been taken for suckers by the Muslim immigration wave that has overwhelmed the sceptr’d isle…. The one-sided celebration of diversity is beginning to grate as well. Julie Burchill, a columnist for the Times of London, notes that ‘English toddlers are being forced to celebrate the Muslim festival of Eid when they are still trying to get their heads about the Easter bunny’.”

US radio station suspends talk show host

Posted on by Bob Pitt

Radio talk-show host Michael Graham was suspended by station WMAL-AM yesterday for repeatedly describing Islam as a “terrorist organization” on his program. Graham said he has been ordered off the Washington station, without pay, for an indefinite period while the station investigates the comments that drew complaints from a Muslim group, the Washington-based Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR).

Graham said on his mid-morning program on Monday that the fault for recent acts of terrorism lies not with Islamic radicals alone but also with Muslims generally because religious leaders and followers have tacitly supported extreme elements. “The problem is not extremism,” Graham told listeners. “The problem is Islam.” He also said, “We are at war with a terrorist organization named Islam.”

Washington Post, 29 July 2005

Indeed, only yesterday, Graham expanded on these views in the Jewish World Review.

As you can imagine, his suspension doesn’t meet with the approval of the folks at Jihad Watch. “This is yet another sad story”, Robert Spencer comments, “and it bodes ill for our freedom in America: Graham’s words were inflammatory, but he had perfectly cogent and reasonable arguments to back them up.”
