EDL mosque protest thug told to do more unpaid work

Posted on by Bob Pitt

Blaise SilvesterA thug who was lucky to avoid going to jail after trouble flared at a protest outside a mosque has been back in court for breaching his community order.

Blaise Silvester was given a two-month curfew and told to do 100 hours of unpaid work after a demonstration outside the Jami Mosque in Victoria Road North, Southsea, got out of hand.

Sentencing him in June, Judge Graham White said the 21-year-old could normally have gone to jail. But a mistake by the probation service meant the judge’s hands were tied and he had to hand Silvester a community order.

Evil Islamists plot to impose barbaric dictatorship on Libya (not)

Posted on by Bob Pitt

The Muslim Brotherhood held its first public conference on Libyan soil on Thursday after being banned for decades, and used the platform to set a moderate tone, calling for a broad national reconstruction effort.

Speaking nine months to the day after the start of the uprising against Muammar Gaddafi that eventually ended his 42-year rule, Libyan Muslim Brotherhood leader Suleiman Abdelkader praised the rebellion and called on Libya’s factions to unite. “Rebuilding Libya is not a task for one group or one party but for everyone, based on their ability,” Abdelkader told the meeting of about 700 people at a wedding hall in Benghazi, the eastern city where the revolt against Gaddafi began.

Chicago: racist airport worker who incited hatred against Muslims is fired

Posted on by Bob Pitt

Roy EganRoy Egan, an O’Hare Airport baggage handler who allegedly spewed racist and bigoted rants against Muslims, African Americans, Latinos and homosexuals on his Facebook page has been fired, according to the Chicago Council on American-Islamic Relations. CAIR said Egan had worked at the airport for nine years, was suspended in October and terminated this month.

Egan used his Facebook page, where he openly identified himself as a TSA officer, to post comments such as: “FILTHY MUSLIM,” Muslims “need to be exterminated”, “BURN ISLAM”, “Islam, a cult that glorifies death,” and “Does anything at all make you smile more than a Muslim burning by his own hateful hand.” He also posted remarks about President Barack Obama, First Lady Michelle Obama, and Attorney General Eric Holder.

CAIR-Chicago representatives met with Transportation Security Administration leadership in Chicago three weeks ago to voice the concerns of the Muslim community about the incident and to ask that more be done to prevent future incidents from happening.

Dutch state taken to UN court of human rights over Wilders

Posted on by Bob Pitt

Three Dutch Moroccans have made a complaint against the Netherlands to the UN court of human rights, claiming the Dutch state has not protected them from incitement to hatred instigated by Geert Wilders, Nos television reports.

The three, who are not named in the court filing, say the “systematic incitement to hatred and discrimination against Muslims and other migrants” committed by Wilders has left them feeling “discriminated against, humiliated and threatened”.

“They are of the opinion that Wilders by his continued hate speech has poisoned the social climate in the Netherlands that has become more and more anti-migrant and anti-Muslim,” the statement says.

Rick Womick calls Allah a ‘false god’, warns of a Muslim immigrant ‘population jihad’

Posted on by Bob Pitt

Think Progress publishes more extracts from its interview with Rick Womick. According to Womick almost 30% of the population of Europe is now Muslim, a figure that will rise to over 50% within 20 to 25 years. Already in the UK “you have no go zones that are completely dominated by sharia law”. Womick claims that in the United States “we’re predicted to be over 50% Muslim some time by 2050 to 2055”. And bear in mind that this man isn’t some lunatic blogger. He’s a Republican representative in the Tennessee state legislature.

Drunk abused Muslim woman in headscarf

Posted on by Bob Pitt

A mother-of-three ­racially abused a ­Muslim woman before spitting in the face of a police officer, a court has heard.

India McConnell, of Netley Road, Newbury Park, stood in front of a woman wearing a burka before shouting a racist slur and telling her to “go home”. Redbridge Magistrates’ Court heard the 27-year-old had been drinking the previous day and all night before the incident at 8.45am in Ilford Lane at its junction with Winston Way on October 4.

In a statement read out by the prosecution lawyer, a witness said Miss McConnell pulled up her top mimicking the ­woman’s head scarf before shouting the abuse. The witness said the woman was with four children, two in prams, who were “horrified”. He asked why she was shouting to which she ­replied: “This is England. She should go back home.”

He said she was becoming confrontational and she tried to get him into a side road. Fearing for his safety he called police. On seeing police Miss McConnell ran off through the car park of the Exchange Ilford, the court heard on Thursday. She was detained and arrested by Pc Simon Jackson and taken to Barkingside Police Station in a van. She had been kicking the door and when it was opened by Mr Jackson she remained aggressive and spat in his face, magistrates were told.

Miss McConnell pleaded guilty to using racially aggravated threatening and abusive words or ­behaviour but insisted she was not racist. She was bailed and will be sentenced on December 1.

English Defence League – not racist?

Posted on by Bob Pitt

The endless refrain of the English Defence League is they can’t be racist, because Islam is not a race. EDL leader Stephen Lennon has even stated that he supports a multicultural Britain, and he recently assured his local paper that if racists are ever found in the ranks of the EDL they are kicked out.

Evidently, not all of the EDL’s leading members are on message. Here is a comment that was posted earlier today on the EDL’s Facebook page. It expresses views on race, national identity and multiculturalism that could easily have appeared on a white supremacist forum like Stormfront:

Graz: police chief warns that mosque will lead to ‘infiltration’ by extremists

Posted on by Bob Pitt

Kleine Zeitung Alexander GaischIslam in Europe draws our attention to a interview with Alexander Gaisch, the police chief in the Austrian city of Graz, which was published in the Kleine Zeitung under the headline “We will be slowly infiltrated”.

Asked if a planned Islamic centre in Graz could become “a hotbed of radicalisation”, Gaisch replies:

“In the worst case. There will never be an obvious radicalisation. Swordsmen will not be coming, we will be slowly infiltrated. This population group has more children, a different lifestyle. They are doing this quite cleverly with a building in which many people can be accommodated. It will be more than a mosque: a cultural, social centre with a kindergarten.”

The Kleine Zeitung also reports that Gaisch’s comments have been condemned by the Social Democrats and Greens.
