The Rt Rev Tom Butler, the Bishop of Southwark apologises for terrorist activities of Islamic extremists.

Tony Blair's decision to invade Iraq contributed to the London bombings of July 7 2005, according to a leading Church of England bishop.
The Rt Rev Tom Butler, the Bishop of Southwark, said that mistakes in the Government's foreign policy had damaged society and radicalised Muslims, leaving them alienated and resentful.

The frightening thing about 7/7 is that they seemed to be ordinary young men from Leeds who didn't look to be fanaticals, but they'd become sufficiently alienated to take this action.

Hmm, no money so driven to petty larceny maybe. Late for work so decided to break the speed limit perhaps. Unhappy with Government foreign policy so take explosives and place them in buses and trains to blow up and decapitate fellow citizens to make a point? NO!

Thank God the rest of the population that absolutely detests this NU Labour dictatorship are more able to control ourselves!

When is the Leadership of the Church of England going to wise up? Is this what passes for moral guidance in their opinion?

The number of people attending Church of England services in this country is in decline, it isn't hard to see why.

Iraq invasion fuelled 7/7 anger, says bishop

Curious incident in the night leaves Bishop of Southwark with black eye and sore head

Teachers drop the Holocaust to avoid offending Muslims

As part of the continued downward spiral of educational standards it should come as no shock to find that the latest casualty is history lessons. What does come as a shock though is that this time it is not just a matter of dumbing down the lessons and adjusting the emphasis so as to marginalise the majority indigenous population in favour of glorious integration policies.

This time, schools are dropping the Holocaust from history lessons to avoid offending Muslim pupils, because some teachers are reluctant to cover the atrocity for fear of upsetting students whose beliefs include Holocaust denial.

Now whilst I understand that history can be somewhat subjective, are we to now assume that those schools and teachers involved agree with the historical detail of the holocaust or not?

Because if the curriculum looks at the second world war and does not mention the holocaust, then guess what, you are denying it.

Perhaps those teachers who support the dropping of historical facts from the curriculum should be reminded that Holocaust Denial is a criminal offence in the following European countries punishable by the associated sentences:

Austria: 6 months - 20 years
Belgium: Fine - 1 year
Czech Republic: 6 months - 2 years
France: Fine or 1 month - 2 years
Germany: Fine or 1 month- 5 years
Israel: 1 year - 5 years
Italy (law against racial discrimination): 3 years - 4 years
Lithuania: Fine or 2 years -10 years
Poland: Fine or 3 months - 3 years, Romania: 6 months or 3-5 years

With extradition treaties between all European states, and groups pressing for Holocaust Denial to become an EU wide offence, let us hope that these teachers find it in themselves to have the "courage" to tell the truth regardless of how inconvenient it may be lest they find themselves with the conviction instead.

Teachers drop the Holocaust to avoid offending Muslims

Iran declares war on Great Britain - Tony Blair share the nations dismay!

In what is clearly an act of war against our country, the Iranian government captures 15 British sailors and parades them in front of the camera for all the world to see.

What does Tony Blair do? What can he do? He and his Government have run our armed forces into the ground. The fact that the Iranians snatched the British navy personnel by using small boats does not come as any surprise as due to Tony and the rest, the Iranian navy may well soon be superior to our own.

As for the EU and the UN, what a waste of space they are. As usual, if you are not an "oppressed minority" (in their opinion) then you are not worth sticking up for.

Mr Blair, Government Ministers, main opposition parties in the UK, you are all a complete and utter disgrace.

You have let down the men and women you sent to fight in your name, you have let down the "British" people.

For God's sake go and let this country be run by people who have loyalty to the electorate and the courage and backbone to fight for what is right.

In the coming elections, I for one will be voting for the British National Party as they are the only party that represents the views and rights of the British people; the only party that would not send our troops off on world policing duties in the first place, but if our troops found themselves in this situation, would back them to the hilt.

I will be voting for them; if you care about this country and despair at what you hear on a daily basis, are disgusted by the sheer criminality and contempt shown by our Government towards it's own people, I suggest you do the same.

School faces court battle over veil ban

Just a quick post as off out for the evening. Nobby sent me this link about the new row over veils in schools.

No point me commenting as there are already 81 comments and rising.

Sometimes you have just got to believe that the time is approaching when common sense will once again prevail.

School faces court battle over veil ban

Not fit for purpose!

In a mature, democratic, intelligent society, one accepts that for many jobs there may well be one or two prerequisites. To be a Veterinary Surgeon one must be academically qualified, to be a driver one must have a certain level of eyesight and have passed a test, employment in the fire service requires a certain level of fitness and so on.

So what about the police service, how about a serving police officer who is not able to touch half of all members of the public? Ridiculous, silly, that would never happen!

Well remember, this is Blair's (and Brown's) Britain, and here commonsense gives way all the time to political correctness and the appeasement of certain religions.

A muslim woman police officer has sparked a new debate by refusing to shake hands with Britain's most senior police chief for religious reasons.
The incident happened at a passing-out parade where Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Ian Blair was inspecting a line-up of 200 recruits.

In addition to refusing a traditional congratulatory handshake from Sir Ian, the WPC - who wore a traditional Muslim hijab headscarf - also declined to be photographed with him as she did not want the picture used for 'propaganda purposes'.

The woman had earlier insisted that it was contrary to her religious teaching for her to touch a man.

Imagine another police officer on patrol who is attacked and calls upon this colleague to assist, what will be the response?

Is it not enough that we have police officers refusing to protect certain sectors of society due to their religious beliefs? It is completely outrageous.

Thousands of applications are turned down each year by young men and women who would love to be police officers, warts and all.

By all means recruit from minority groups if it will ensure an all inclusive police service, but one thing must be certain, the recruits themselves must be fit for purpose.

Unable to carry out my duties

Calls for Police Action after Dispatches expose.

I am very pleased to hear that a leading Muslim has called for a police enquiry following the recent Dispatches programme on Channel Four.

Ghayasuddin Siddiqui, the head of the Muslim Parliament of Great Britain, called for imams and mosque leaders to be questioned amid claims that forces were reluctant to act.

He also expressed concern that a Muslim primary school teacher, secretly filmed while he delivered a diatribe against Jews, Christians and "filthy non-Muslim doctors", has been allowed to remain in his job.

Although I cannot recollect voting in the elections for the Muslim Parliament, (probably lost in the post) any public call for the law to be applied in an equitable way deserves nothing but praise.

Just a thought though, wouldn't it be really fantastic if the request for police action from the head of a faux parliament could be followed up by a request from the REAL PARLIAMENT OF GREAT BRITAIN! As I say, just a thought.

TV 'preachers of hate' escape police action

Give us the facts

Whilst having my weekly trawl through the many diverse sites on the Internet, my attention was drawn to a comment on the Love Music, Hate Racism web site.

The comment was by Sadiq Khan MP:

“The BNP now has 14 councillors in London, and have gained ground on the back of a rise in racism. In the recent, council elections, the BNP declared that this was a “referendum on Islam”, and they are dividing communities with vicious, racist lies.
It is vital that we tackle the BNP head on and start a united campaign now to stop them making further electoral gains in the 2008 Greater London Assembly elections – the work of Love Music, Hate Racism is vital in celebrating diversity, not extremism. We have to out the BNP for what they really stand for, build strong coalitions of support, and ensure that we involve all communities in a shared and inclusive notion of what it means to be British in the 21st century.”

Now, in any Democracy, such as the one we once lived in, it is up to everyone to have a say in what it was to be of that nation, i.e. in this context, British. No Democratic society should be allowed to marginalise elements of it's citizens because they may have a different idea of what it is to be of that nation. To deny them the opportunity to have a say is to act in a fascist manner, something that anti-nationalist groups seem to embrace far too easily.

Whether your support is for the BNP, UKIP, The Green Party, The National Front, The Conservatives, or even heaven help us Nu Labour, you have the duty to allow, and the right to hear the views of the other parties, providing that their content is legal.

Mr Sadiq Khan - ..... "they are dividing communities with vicious, racist lies."

Put up or shut up.

Incompatible

Taxi drivers refusing to pick up passengers with dogs or alcohol, Pharmacists refusing to dispense contraceptives, separate facilities at swimming pools and leisure centres, what next?

Well, apparently cigarettes!

A smoker was refused cigarettes at a Cambridge store because the Muslim shop assistant said it was against her religion to sell tobacco.

A customer at the WH Smith store said: "I asked for a pack of 20 Lambert & Butler and the woman behind the desk asked me if they were cigarettes.
"When I said they were she told me that it was against her religion to sell them - I couldn't believe my ears."

The interesting twist is that Asim Mumtaz, president of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Association in Cambridge, said: "I don't think there is any basis for refusing to sell cigarettes.
"Islam, like most religions, is against anything that injures health or the body, but there is no ban on cigarettes or on smoking.
"The Koran is quite specific about intoxicants, alcohol and other drugs which cause a person to lose control are forbidden, but cigarettes are not forbidden so I am surprised by this."

Dispatches - Undercover Mosque

Well, having watched half the programme I got bored and decided to give the rest of it a miss. I have to say that there were no surprises, anybody who chooses to look beyond the MSM drivel and main party spin at what is really going on in this country and throughout the world cannot be under any illusion anymore.

The obvious question that the programme does raise is whether or not the Police, Prosecution Service and Government will carry out an immediate investigation followed by criminal proceedings in the same way as they did in the case of the BNP leader.

Having followed the trial of Nick Griffin, and heard some of the comments on last nights programme, there is more than enough evidence to press charges. Even those who felt that it was correct to prosecute Nick Griffin for his comments at a private meeting must agree that his comments and those of his co-defendant were nothing compared to what was seen last night.

"An army of Muslims will arise," predicts one preacher. Another said British Muslims must dismantle British democracy, they must live like a state within a state until they are strong enough to take over.

That's our country they are talking about Mr Blair, when are you going to do something about it?

UPDATE: It appears that Nick Griffin has written a letter to the Chief Constable of West Midlands Police, it will be interesting to see if anything comes of it.

Nick Griffin has written the following letter to the Chief Constable of West Midlands Police:

Undercover Mosque

Well, anyone who has spent any time at all looking at what is available about Islamic extremism would not have been suprised by anything in this programme. The only thing that should come as a "suprise" to those who only see there being a problem with "extremists" is that these were supposedly moderates.

I expect that arrests will soon follow with prosecutions in due course.

After all, the same people who maliciously prosecuted Nick griffin for his statements on Islam can't allow Channel Four to getaway with presenting Islam in such a bad light!

Monday 15th January 2007 - Channel 4 8:00 p.m.

Undercover Mosque

"Chilling undercover investigation into the influence of Saudi Arabian religious extremism throughout the UK. Despite being considered Britain's principal ally in the Middle East, this disturbing report reveals Saudi Arabian Islam - Wahabism - is spreading a message of bigotry and hatred to a section of Muslims and predicting an imminent jihad. An undercover reporter joins Islamic worshippers and captures some of the alarming sermons being delivered by Saudi-trained preachers in British mosques."

(Radio Times)

Trailer suggests that it will be quite informative, but it is Channel 4 so I will keep an open mind.

UK terror threat of 100 British Muslims fighting in Iraq war

A secret list of young Britons who have left to join the Iraqi terrorists' cause has been drawn up by MI5.
Now the security service is preparing for a 'backwash' of highly trained guerrilla fighters returning to Britain.

"Immigration officials in Britain and across Europe are being warned to be on the lookout for returning fighters,' the source said.
"These people have knowledge of weapons and are prepared to use them. They are also potential recruiters for a new generation of terrorists."

I'm sure I'm losing the plot here, these people go to Iraq, fight against their own army, i.e. the British, fight against their own allies, i.e. the Americans and then can come back here to live with impunity.

I know the idea of one nation is somewhat outmoded but come on, this is just bloody stupid.

Anyone who fights against our army has to be considered as fighting against us all, and if they are British then they are traitors and should be treated accordingly.

Otherwise, what's the bloody point?
