“I was slightly puzzled by the early media reports of the appalling murder in Woolwich and particularly the wrangling over whether or not this could be called ‘a terrorist attack’. Does it make much difference? Two black savages hacked a man to death while shouting Allahu Akbar; that’s really all you need to know, isn’t it? In a sense calling it an act of terrorism somehow dignifies the barbarism. The media will now go into crowd-control mode and tell us how all Muslims are as shocked by this attack as are the rest of us and how Islam is a peaceable religion. No, it isn’t.”

More problems for UKIP: Another racist Islamophobe exposed
Hope Not Hate reports on the case of Alan Jesson, a newly elected UKIP county councillor in Lincolnshire, who has posted a series of racist comments on Facebook.
One comment reads: “How true it is that the biggest threat to the UK way of life was Islam and its followers.” Another: “Mosques need banning until they adopt sexual equality and gay relationships and conform to British culture.” Jesson also wrote: “No Mosques should be entertained in this country. Islam is anti Gay and anti women. It can never be part of English culture.”
He says he dreams of “a day when the migrants are persuaded or forced to return to their countries of birth” and predicts “I really do think soon there will be rivers of blood”.
These revelations follow the exposure of the foul-mouthed racist remarks made by another UKIP councillor in Lincolnshire, Chris Pain, along with equally bigoted comments by other prominent figures in the party, and the resignation of Eric Kitson as a UKIP councillor in Worcestershire.
Hundreds of Texas school districts will stop using curriculum accused of promoting anti-American, pro-Islam values
A much-maligned curriculum system designed to help teachers adhere to state educational requirements and used by hundreds of school districts across Texas will stop offering lesson plans amid mounting pressure from some conservatives who claimed it was promoting anti-American values.
State Sen. Dan Patrick said Monday that the 20-member board overseeing the CSCOPE system will vote to effectively gut it later this week. He displayed copies of a letter signed by all board members pledging to scrap lesson plans by Aug. 31.
The announcement comes as the Texas Legislature was poised to pass a $1.1 million plan to provide strict state oversight for CSCOPE, which has drawn sharp criticism from tea party lawmakers — even though much of the general public has never heard of the curriculum system. That bill is now largely moot.
“The era of CSCOPE lesson plans has come to an end,” Patrick, a Tea Party favorite who heads the Senate Education Committee, said at a news conference.
Police, locals deny claim that part of The Hague is a ‘Sharia triangle’
Wilders’ tweet in response to Trouw article: ‘Islamofascism is advancing in the Netherlands’
Claims by newspaper Trouw that part of The Hague’s Schilderswijk district is so dominated by orthodox Muslims they are dictating what people should wear and how they should behave, have been denied by both police and local politicians.
Under the headline “Hague district is orthodox Muslim territory”, Trouw said “short skirts and dresses are not accepted on the street”. The paper said the area, with a population of some 5,000, is known by locals as “The Sharia Triangle”. “Very slowly, the rules in the area are beginning to change,” the article said. “The norms of the majority are beginning to take over.”
Taj Hargey jumps on ‘Muslim grooming’ bandwagon
There’s always been a market for Muslims who are prepared to publicly endorse Islamophobic smears against their co-religionists, and Taj Hargey, the self-appointed imam from Oxford, has always been particularly eager to cater to that demand.
If you’re looking for a self-styled Muslim leader to back a Zionist-inspired Panorama attack on the Muslim Council of Britain, blame British mosques for the 7/7 bombings, accuse university Islamic societies of fuelling terrorism, support the claim that a mosque near the Sandhurst military academy represents a security threat, line up with Christian fundamentalists in denouncing a proposed “mega-mosque” in East London, applaud Sarkozy’s ban on the veil or excuse the Swiss ban on minarets – then Taj Hargey’s your man. (A summary of Hargey’s record on such issues can be found here.)
Obama is antisemite with ‘Muslim perspective’, claims Virginia Republican politician
President Obama has “Muslim sensibilities” and uses a “Muslim perspective” to view the world, according to the Virginia Republican nominee for lieutenant governor E.W. Jackson.
In a blog post from 2010, Jackson wrote that Obama has taken an anti-Semitic approach to the White House that he “picked up from the black community.” He said it had jeopardized the security of Israel and the Unites States’s relationship with its Middle East ally.
“Obama clearly has Muslim sensibilities. He sees the world and Israel from a Muslim perspective,” wrote Jackson in his former blog on a website for his political action committee.
More of Nigel Farage’s troops exposed as bigots
Nigel Farage’s UKIP party is still riddled with racism… despite his claim of a crackdown.
A Sunday Mirror investigation has discovered sickening rants on the Facebook pages of party officials. Details of their vitriol emerged only days after Eric Kitson quit as a councillor in Stourbridge, Worcs, after we exposed his internet slurs against Muslims and Jews.
Islamic law in U.S. courts
Does Islamic law, Sharia, have a place in American courts? A lot of state legislatures don’t think so, and there is a large movement to ban its application in the domestic courts, state and federal.
Dearborn: Christian Islamophobes force cancellation of Arab International Festival
Right-wing Christian demonstrators harass Muslims at 2012 Arab International Festival in Dearborn
After growing religious tensions between some Christian missionaries and local Muslims, the annual Arab International Festival in Dearborn has been canceled for this year, organizers said Friday.
The announcement left many disappointed that a small number of aggressive extremists could ruin what had become a tradition in the eastern section of Dearborn, which has a significant number of Arab Americans.
Segregation on campus: Is it discrimination or inclusiveness?
The segregation by gender of Muslim students has been in the news this week, after a pressure group claimed the practice was widespread. Reyhana Patel, herself a Muslim, believes that gender segregation can actually be empowering for her and her sisters,
