Last Thursday BBC Radio 4 broadcast a Report programme in which they attempted to “investigate” the links between British university Islamic societies (or ISocs) with terrorism, on the basis that Umar Farouk Abdulmuttalib, who attempted to blow up a plane near Detroit last Christmas, had been president of the ISoc at University College London. […]

In 2002 Teresa May, the chairwoman of the Tory party appointed by Iain Duncan Smith, told the party’s conference that people called her party the “nasty party” and that their base was too narrow as were their sympathies on occasion. Norman Tebbit noted that this “nasty party” won three general elections but that it […]
Does anyone remember what Robert Kilroy-Silk was like before he wrote that column in the Daily Express — AKA Daily Spew — saying that the West owes Muslims nothing, being as we are all limb-choppers and women-repressers etc., and then tried to make a name for himself by getting involved with UKIP?

There is a letter in the Observer today in response to an article from last week’s paper from Nick Cohen, who said that the Chilcot inquiry won’t declare Blair a war criminal and disputed the claim that the war in Iraq was illegal. The letter reads:
Having been shouted down by opponents in […]

Taj Hargey is no stranger to long-time readers of this site: he is notorious for his anti-Shari’ah publicity stunts and for being able and willing to come out and attack Muslims in the press, first of all on the BBC’s Panorama in 2005 and since then mostly in the Times. Now, his so-called Muslim […]

I just watched the online copy of last night’s “discussion” between Anjum “Andy” Choudhary of al-Muhajiroun (which will no doubt have a new name by the end of this week, as the government has decided to ban them under anti-terrorism laws) and Maajid Nawaz of the Quilliam Foundation. This follows a familiar pattern of […]
Recently some of my Facebook friends joined a group called something like “I won’t buy the Independent again if Rod Liddle becomes editor”, and I thought briefly of joining. But I haven’t. The simple reason is that I almost never buy the paper anyway, because it’s boring. It’s a paper consisting of […]
MELANIE PHILLIPS: To our eternal shame, Britain is STILL a hub for Islamic terror | Mail Online
Melanie Phillips, in response to the attempted aeroplane bombing on Christmas day, writes another of her rants for the Daily Mail, claiming that it was all down to the fact that “Londonistan” has become a hub for Islamic extremists […]

A post on Deenport that struck a chord regarding the latest rant by Stephen Schwartz and Irfan Ahmad “al-Alawi” against Shaikh Hamza Yusuf:
On the night of the mi’raj the Prophet(saw) was offered wine or milk and he chose milk This is the knowledge bequeathed to our ummah through his heirs.
I have met sufis,salafis,ikhwanis,tableeghis and they mainly […]
Rod Liddle has managed to outdo himself this past week, with two shockingly bigoted and ignorant articles on the Spectator’s website the same day. One of them is in support of the ban on minarets which was passed the Sunday before last in Switzerland; the other is a short blast about black crime and […]

I wanted to fillet Johann Hari’s article in which he interviews three leading members of the Quilliam clique plus Anjem “Andy” Choudhary, but never having known them and always being far from the centre of all things HT — Newham and then SOAS (I was at Coulsdon College […]

Melanie Phillips: The true cause of the BNP’s rise
Melanie Phillips had this article published yesterday in the Daily Mail (also on her home page) and she comes out with her usual line about the BNP being a vile, racist party, but that politicians are to blame for its rise because they do not address the […]

Arun Kundnani of the Institute of Race Relations has published a pamphet, Spooked: How Not to Prevent Violent Extremism (PDF), on how the government’s “Preventing Violent Extremism” programme has turned into an intelligence gathering exercise, in which educators and youth workers were encouraged to tattle on people regarding so-called ‘extreme’ opinions regardless of whether they […]

Turning a Blind Eye to Misogyny | Standpoint
Standpoint magazine, a right-leaning commentary magazine published by the Social Affairs Unit, has ran with a front-page feature on how the western left supposedly turns a blind eye to misogyny and honour killing among Muslims, both in the west and elsewhere. The two main authors are Clive […]

I’ve had a camcorder since last Christmas, which I used to shoot footage of the Palestine rally in January. I had intended to use it to do video blogs and perhaps interviews, but haven’t got round to it until now. Well, last week I posted a 20-minute video blog (in three sections as […]

A guy called Shaaz Mahboob, one of the founder members of the so-called British Muslims for Secular Democracy (along with Yasmin Alibhai-Brown and Taj Hargey), has written a guest post on Pickled Politics accusing British Muslims of lacking compassion for British troops by failing to publically mourn or otherwise acknowledge the deaths of British soldiers […]

As long as I’ve been a Muslim, there has always been a division among Muslims as to the use of the word kaafir, the Arabic word for unbeliever. Some, particularly born Muslims from non-English-speaking backgrounds and members of certain hardline persuasions, use it very freely. Others find it derogatory, whether or not they […]
Sunny Hundal at Pickled Politics on the glaring omission from the latest report by the “Centre for Social Cohesion”, The BNP and the Online Fascist Network (PDF), written by Edmund Standing, long-standing contributor to Harry’s Place:
What’s glaringly omitted from the report is an analysis of how the BNP has in recent years shifted […]

Yakoub Islam drew my attention to Denis MacEoin’s promotional piece for his Shari’ah-bashing report for Civitass, published on Comment is Free. It contains a series of stupid misrepresentations of aspects of the Shari’ah, obviously intended to deceive his non-Muslim readership. Any Muslim who has read a few basic books on the subject knows […]
