Yesterday the Daily Star (the Black Hole to you and me), a London tabloid from the same pig-sty as the Daily Express (AKA Daily Spew), ran a story about the “scandal” of the borough of Harrow in north-west London serving up halaal meat in all but one of its ten secondary schools, and from the […]
Since my last entry on the bigoted ravings of Christina Patterson in last week’s Independent, Patterson herself has written a follow-up piece on all the demented people who have written to her and blogged about her and called her a b*tch, etc., and of course there are a number who have written to her privately […]

I was alerted to an article by one Christina Patterson (former director of the Poetry Society and literary programmer at the South Bank Centre in London) setting out what she considers the “limits of multi-culturalism”, which ends before you get to what she sees as the insulting stand-offishness of the Orthodox Jewish population of North […]

Yesterday Jon Gaunt, the talk show host who used to run the morning show on BBC London, lost an attempt to appeal against a censure by Ofcom, the British broadcast media regulator, against his former employer, the AM talk station TalkSport (another of whose former presenters was George Galloway).

The World Turned Upside Down by Melanie Phillips | Digested read | Books | The Guardian This is a pretty hilarious parody of Melanie Phillips’s latest book, The World Turned Upside Down. The Guardian’s “Digested Read” is meant to be a précis in the style of the original, but this is more of a parody […]

Jerusalem Post: Rejecting the burka As Muslims it’s been our recent experience that many of the voices raised loudest against Muslims in the west have connections to Israel, particularly in the United States but also in the UK; they include radical Zionists, secular Jews who like to police which types of Muslims the left, in […]

What has Britain come to when it takes a Muslim like me to defend Christianity? | Mail Online This article appeared in today’s Daily Mail, and is meant to be in defence of Shirley Chaplin, a nurse in Devon who took her healthcare trust to court to secure her right to wear her cross while […]

It seems I’ve been getting a lot of referrals from the ghosts of the American right-wing Islamophobic blogosphere lately, as shown in my Incoming Links on my control panel. They all had to do with my brief exchange with Ben White a year or so ago, who tipped me off that he had reviewed a […]

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 […]

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 was […]
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? A YouTuber who […]
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 what passes […]

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 Educational […]

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 pitting […]
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 shrill front-page headlines […]
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 […]

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 black […]
