John Denham’s Mosley comparison merely sensationalises race-tensions
David Blackburn 3:57pm
Communities Secretary John Denham has compared the English Defence League (EDL), the group that has organised protests against what it describes as the ‘Islamification of Britain’, to Oswald Mosley’s Union of British Fascists. Whilst announcing that the government plans to re-engage predominantly white working class voters who are being seduced by the BNP, Denham said:
“You could go back to the 1930s if you wanted to - Cable Street and all of those types of things. The tactic of trying to provoke a response in the hope of causing wider violence and mayhem is long established on the far-right and among extremist groups.”
Denham is right to express concern that the EDL’s provocation tactics might incite extremism from the far-left, far-right and indeed militant Islam. Alhough Denham did point out that the situation is not on the scale of 1930s yet, comparing the EDL with Mosley’s ‘Blackshirts’ is scaremongering that sensationalises the issue of race-tension. The upshot of a Guardian investigation is that the EDL is spectacularly disorganised: the self-confessed football hooligans that run it have no agenda beyond the slogan of “Keep Britain British” and the desire to throw a few punches of an afternoon. Harrow might be difficult to get to and not much fun when you get there, but only 15 EDL activists turned up for yesterday’s protest. The EDL is nothing like the Union of British Fascists, why give it that kudos? It's rather like comparing Britain to Baltimore.

Here's a quick video of the leader of the 'Black Flag of the Caphilate' group, Anjem Choudary- speaking as the riots were unfolding, yesterday evening in Harrow.

Any UAF/Respect members watching this;
Listen to what Choudary's Islam4UK & the rest of the militant UK Muslims really think of you.
I'd just like to explain that the fascist anti-semites in the 30's were the BUF.
Today the UK Islamafascist's are the anti-semites.
You are promoting a Muslim dominated Britain in the next 50 years by silencing any debate, any critical questioning or outright fairness across the board of this looming social disaster right now.

September 12th, 2009 4:52pm Report this commentWhat is most shameful is a Communities Secretary unable and unwilling to address the real tensions within our national community. There are a lot of other people asking why Britain cannot be kept British in a manner which Labour has not allowed for the last 12 years. Keepign Britain British does not mean excluding other races and cultures, but it does mean insisting that British culture has primacy. I don't support violence - and there seem to be plenty of violent Muslims turning out onto the streets - but the simple argument of the EDL does resonate with a great many people.

September 12th, 2009 5:37pm Report this commentI quickly reviewed a few articles that have appeared over the past year with regard to the drastic affects of immigration on the ethnic population.
I have included snippets, some of which show that the present rate of immigration will have far seeing compounded effects on households and housing in the next ten years.
This takes no account of the negative social inter-reaction of differing cultures and increasing over-population.
John Denham is, at best, myopic in not realising this might happen, at worst, knew it would happen and didn't care.
There is no doubt that any clashes in the future have been set up and can be blamed on one body, specifically the Labour government.
Shame on you and your colleagues Denham.
"But even these changes are dwarfed by the inflow of the past decade, with official net immigration running at about 300,000 a year. In historical terms, it is quite an experiment. the efforts of a small, independent research outfit called Migrationwatch, which came on to the scene exactly five years ago this week. It issued a report that was denounced as alarmist, scaremongering, even racist.
By March this year (2007), the actuarial projection, based on 2004 figures, was that one third of the extra 223,000 households that would be formed annually by 2026 - ie, 73,000 - would be attributable to immigration.
In other words, the housing requirement caused by immigration to England is twice what was predicted when Labour took office just 10 years ago. This failure to acknowledge its level even now has badly affected local councils, which rely upon an accurate assessment of their population in order to qualify for Whitehall grants, and has obvious knock-on effects on other services such as education and healthcare.
2)It was a prediction that Britain could expect to receive more than two million immigrants every 10 years for the foreseeable future unless curbs were introduced. It was absolutely spot on, but few thanked Sir Andrew Green, the retired diplomat who founded Migrationwatch, for pointing it out. More than that, efforts were made - including official ones - to traduce his motives and to trash his group's research.

Oh, I forgot: they're practically the only people who will vote Labour next time and, after all, they're only in this country as a result of Labour's malevolent immigration policies.

New Labour alone have exacerbated immeasurably the racial and religious tensions in our society and introduced stupid laws which have had a completely negative effect on the situation.

September 13th, 2009 2:57am Report this commentI think that the overwhelming majority of Britons - as evidenced by recent opinion polls regarding immigration levels - are rightfully opposed to the excessive influx of uneducated and unskilled economic migrants or benefit scroungers.
I see the issue as twofold. Firstly we have the inordinate amount of immigrants, primarily of Asian origin, far beyond that which the country can maintain economically or culturally. Secondly, due to such massive influx of said immigrants and their associated religion, we have a terrifyingly strident, unashamed and expanding faction of Islamic extremists within our land.
Combined, this is causing and shall cause further problems for our economy, housing, environment, welfare, policing, security, crime, comity, camaraderie, neighbourship and society in general.
It is undoubtedly simplistic and racist to blame all Asians for Islam's excesses, or indeed all Muslims for a few abhorrent religious maniacs. However it is simply a numbers game: the 2 million or so Muslims living here invariably accommodate a significant faction of terrorists and sympathizers; that fact is indisputable. Remove Islam from Britain and you shall find there is no terrorist threat.
People are rightly incensed and exasperated that we should continue to import those who, at one extreme, seek to kill us, and at the other extreme seek to transform our country. The focus of this transformation is rooted in the Quran. Make no mistake: proselytizing religions such as Christianity and Islam strive to convert. The immigrant adherants of Islam are, unfortunately, from countries where religion is somewhat more important than here in Britain. The religion itself, as taught and believed in these countries, is somewhat more violent and aggressive than that to which we are accustomed.
In short, it is madness and morally repugnant to wilfully import millions upon millions of barbaric religious nutters, many of whom hold views about women, gays and Jews that would have been outdated in the 1800s. Skilled immigration for specific jobs is understandable, welcomed and to be promoted. Wholesale immigration by the millions for no purpose other than "multiculturalism" is tantamount to cultural suicide.

Unfortunately i cannot physically travel to London and personally participate countering this demo today- i would though (if i was going) be careful to avoid any Casuals- as i feel there's a certain way of making your feelings heard.

September 13th, 2009 11:26am Report this commentI fled Birmingham (!) nearly twenty years ago, because of the increasing Islamisation of the city. A recent visit, with friends,was appalling. The disconnect between the governed and the governing class is so vast, and in fact beyond repair, that eventually the peoples opposed to Islam, whether radical or not, will have to , one day, take matters into their own hands. It will not be pretty, but it will be come to be seen as unavoidable.
One thing has long baffled me; the curious, informal alliance between Islam and the European left. I can see the left are using Islam as a agency with which to criticise America,capitalism and western values (since the demise of Marxism and socialism), but did they not appreciate that they too would be swallowed up in the coming to power of the sharia adherents; that feminism, freedom to engage in homosexual activity, etc. would be proscribed. Now I realise that the left are not deluded on this; to them it is a price worth paying, in order to emasculate America and bury capitalism. The more distasteful, to them, side effects will occur only after they have long gone, and until then they will still preserve their jobs, their grip on public polity and discourse and the cringing deference of the BBC and the liberal media in igeneral. Denham is a disgrace, but then I regard Boris Johnson's comments re. ramadan in the same light.

September 13th, 2009 12:56pm Report this commentI live in Britain and I do not like:
1. Women/men who wear secretive clothing in public, for security/safety reasons.
2. Violence from any group.
3. ‘Religions’ which foster hatred and violence.
4. Police women having to don scarves to enter a religious building.
5. Weddings where men and women are segregated into single sex groups.
6. Enclaves of people living in ‘no-go’ areas.
7. Generations of immigrants who continue to wear their parents’ style of clothing.
8. People having lived for sometime in this country that cannot or will not speak English.
9. Indiscriminate bombing of innocent people in an attempt to adopt another style of living.
WHY?
It is simple. I am English and therefore British. The British way of live has been and still should be along the following lines:
1.People in public should be recognisably dressed.
2.Violence is not displayed by the British, only when at war and part of the Armed Forces.
3.The British Police have a uniform which is recognisable and need not be varied to suit part of the population and have the right to go anywhere in Britain.
4.Men and Women are equal in Britain and should be allowed to mix and go anywhere it is legal to go, together or separately.
5.Ghettoes should not be part of the British way of life.
6.Immigrants and their descendants who have chosen to live in Britain should adopt first and foremost British culture, whilst continuing their previous culture in private if they wish.
7.People living in Britain should be able to communicate with each other in the language of the land.
8.No group should or should be allowed to try to change the British culture to their own minority view except by reasoned argument and persuasion.
I want to live in a Britain that I recognise from 40 years ago, multi culturism is being allowed to change this land into a place of increasing strife and danger, and one unrecognisable to the indigenous population. This does not happen in other countries,for example, if a British person travels to a country which prohibits alcohol they are not allowed to flaunt that belief/way of life and must conform to that country’s wishes.

These people are all generally respected. ... "for Islam's excesses, or indeed all Muslims for a few abhorrent religious maniacs." Until Islam is Reformed, and as followers of Mohammad have to buy into the whole thing, basically everyone who adheres to this religion approves of "up to four wives", desexing little girls to make them passive and good little breeders, conversion by the sword - meaning kill unbelievers if they refuse to convert, and killing apostates; a daughter can only inherit one half of what a son inherits; it takes the word of two women in court to equal the word of one man; swearing an oath means exactly zilch when the lie was told in the service of Islam, and killing homosexuals. Again, none of these are charactistics found in "Asians". They are discretely Muslim.
(Most Asians value truthfulness, for example.) These are Arabic desert beliefs that have spread to dumps like Pakistan and Afghanistan, which had never developed civilisations of their own. Please stop referring to Pakistanis as "Asians" and give them their nationality, Pakistani.

Islam is as much a totalitarian political ideology with global ambitions as Communism or Nazism. It was a big mistake to allow two million of its adherents into the country and it is an even bigger mistake now to appease Islam in all the many and various ways that Labour ministers do.

Do some reading on the subject with maybe a little less speculating- and you'll find people will recieve your arguments far better... and ironically, apart from that ridiculous origional statement, you're 100% correct in the rest of your statement above (as an opinion).
Here's the latest;
Guardian 18 minutes ago;
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/sep/13/english-defence-league-protest-palestinian
"... the English Defence League were today involved in a standoff with pro-Palestinian demonstrators in central London.
There were several brief confrontations as EDL activists chanted... 'Muslim bombers off our streets'."
The demonstration's organiser, Raza Kazim, from the Islamic Human Rights Commission, said:
"It's (The Al-Quds demo)in aid of the oppressed people of Palestine in particular, but the idea of al-Quds is more general than that. It's for people who have been oppressed. We look through the prism of Palestine and the kinds of things that have happened to the Palestinian people. We have come out to say that we are with them..... Asked about opposition to the rally, Kazim said people including supporters of Israel usually protested.
But with them, he said, were "the BNP, the EDL, the racists, the extremists - all of this unholy alliance have got together" to say oppression should continue."
The only thing unholy is the Far-Lefts embrace of anti-semitism.
Like it or lump it;
Those lads today, the EDL (and not the horrible picture provided by the Guardian article), have countered a demo calling for a Caphilate of Muslim control in the UK, universal anti- Israeli propoganda to be adopted in Britain and support for Hizbollah.
This with a massive real threat to their well beings and maybe even their lives after the violence unleashed in their direction by UAF/Muslim thugs previously.
As an opinion, the EDL don't sound like Neo-Nazi's to me!

Nonsense. You are the one with a bee. I am looking at the scientific facts.
The whole concept of 'race' is scientifically meaningless. It cannot be defined rigorously, because it's based on a fallacy. There are probably 100 distinct ethnic groups in Africa alone, but with somewhat blurred boundaries in some cases and sharp ones in others; yet to some people all these people are simply 'black'.
The fact that the idiots in charge of our legal system use this term proves nothing. English and UK law are full of inconsistencies and downright stupidities. These great legal minds can't even grasp the fact that Jews can be both members of a distinct religion and members of a distinct ethnicity: it's just too difficult for these fine minds.

Neo-Nazis Join Islamists at Al-Quds Day Demonstration in Berlin
It is misleading to describe Germany's contemporary Nazi groups as “right-wing."
September 13, 2009 - by John Rosenthal
Alongside the internationally better known National-Democratic Party of Germany or “NPD,” the German People’s Union (DVU) is one of the two main German political parties of the so-called “extreme Right.” As discussed in my earlier PJM report here, in German usage this expression is, in effect, just a euphemism for neo-Nazi currents and
organizations. Both the NPD and the DVU are officially classified as “right-wing extremist” organizations by Germany’s domestic intelligence service, the so-called Office for the Protection of the Constitution or “Verfassungsschutz.” A statement published by the DVU on Wednesday, however, makes clear just how misleading it is to describe Germany’s contemporary Nazi groups as “right-wing.”
The topic of the DVU statement [German link] is the “Al-Quds Day” demonstration that was held on Saturday in Berlin. The statement reads as follows:
Just as we are following with sympathy the development of friendly relations between Venezuela, Russia and Iran, we also see ourselves as standing in solidarity with the victims of Zionist occupation in Palestine.
Zionism is, moreover, a problem of worldwide dimensions, which affects the lives of all peoples. The coming together internationally, shoulder to shoulder, of all patriots is therefore more than appropriate.
For us it is a matter near to ours hearts to draw attention to the Jerusalem Day demonstration this upcoming Sunday in Berlin and to call [on our supporters] to join in the demonstration in a dignified manner.
A “right-wing” movement that approves of Hugo Chavez’s Marxist regime in Caracas and its developing ties with Russia and the Iran of the Islamic Revolution?!
0D
The DVU statement is followed by the official announcement of the Berlin “Al-Quds Day” demonstration by the sponsoring organization, the Quds Association [Quds AG]. The announcement appears under the words: “In the Name of the All-Merciful.” The first paragraph begins as follows (capitalization and bolding in the original):
There are different designations for the PROBLEM of our global community: “international finance capital,” “imperialism,” (in Arabic) “Istikbar,” “the Great Satan and his allies,” “globalized power,” etc. One can call it what one wants. The foundations of the PROBLEM are to be found in the USA, England and Israel. For over 60 years, the Palestinian people has been made to feel this constellation of power more intensively than anyone else. The brutality practiced by the Israeli military regime for the last three years in the largest open air prison in the world, the Gaza Strip, makes clear what the global community can expect from the ideology of Zionist domination in the 21st century. Unqualified loyalty to Zionism has become the glue holding together the EU and thereby the Zionists are seeking step by step to get control over the EU structures.
The announcement goes on then to call on demonstrators to “do something against the warmongers in Palestine, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq and Lebanon” and against E2the oppression and exploitation of many nations.”
One of these nations appears indeed to be Germany. Thus we read further on:
There is an economic assault of international finance capital on the Federal Republic of Germany occurring, whereby a large part of the population is being gradually pushed into poverty. Hand in hand, we must build an acceptable resistance to globalized injustice.
Apart from the religious invocation of the “All-Merciful,” the essentially “leftist” tenor of the above is unmistakable. It is, moreover, hardly surprising that Nazis would endorse such an appeal. Railing against the evils of “finance capital” — or, in the original, “Jewish finance capital” — has, after all, been a traditional staple of Nazi discourse. The essential continuity between the principal “enemies of humanity” identified by the Quds AG – the USA, England, and Israel/“Zionists” — and those targeted by Nazi propaganda is equally obvious. (Even the reduction of Great Britain just to “England” is a classically Nazi touch.)
In any case, the DVU’s expressions of sympathy for the Venezuela of Hugo Chavez and its support for the “Al-Quds Day” demonstration raise an obvious question for the officials of Germany’s Office for the Protection of the Constitution. Instead of insisting upon a 9
Cright-wing extremist” designation that only breeds confusion, why not simply call a Nazi … a Nazi?

September 13th, 2009 8:37pm Report this commentThe single most compelling reason for racial divides in Britain today has not been caused by the EDL or even the BNP but by John Denhams government and their obsession with multiculturism. Their discriminatory and one sided application of benefits & law and order infavour of Islamic groups has created this divide and has been used as fuel for fascist elements in the country. Even more so, some Labour policies are themselves fascist in nature although the liberal left wouldn't admit it. The behaviour of many Labour sponsored quangos in search of that elusive world of harmony, have gone out of their way to target any detractors of their twisted agendas by denying honest debate and calling all opposition racist. Britain had come a long way from the days of Enoc Powells rivers of blood and instead of letting natural evolution integrate different groups, Denhams bunch of idiots in power have forced the issue and have turned the clock back 40 years on racial integration. He is partially right on one thing even though he doesn't know it that the racial divide is predominantly between hard line Islamication and the rest of the population rather than white vs coloured. Most ethnic (non Muslim) groups from the Indian sub continent are vehemently racist against Muslims to an extent many whites don't understand or even believe in themselves. The reasons which Labour won't acknowlege is that every ethnic group with the exception of Muslims have integrated into Britain, observe both British and their own customs and obey the laws of the land. Bringing in Sharia law alongside UK law has divided the country and its no surprise that Muslims stand out as an isolated group amongst many others in Britain. Labour has enabled the extremists in UK Muslims to beat their drums and this has brought racism back to the table of politics once again. John Denham should take time out to look inwards at his own fascist party members rather than blaming others for the state of race relations in Britain today.

September 14th, 2009 12:48am Report this commentHi 'a Semite',
Yes, your right. I am uneducated. I left school when i was fifteen. And i got a job. You should try it.
Unfortunately to counter your prejudice- through that same word; 'work' i have a car the size of a tennis court that says 'hello' to me when i get in it (vroom vroom!), a four storey renovated Victorian town house with a cinema room (very posh!) and hold a senior position within a many millions of pounds turn over company (oh, happy days!).
Is that ok?
I actually said in the post (i think your referring to); "Today the UK Islamafascist's are the anti-semites."
Meaning (drum roll); The Islamafascists hate the Jewish people.
And this is why i think this;
I've met quite a few Israeli's in my travels and they were sound. Very tough lads. This was in different places and it was purely in a 'travelling' situation. I had great respect for two of them in particular, who at different times came out to fight their corner spectacularly. Another bloke i worked with on a building site was from Tel Aviv- for a little prospective time wise, this was at the same time the Muslim community in Bradford worked together closely and burnt down the city in 2001. I shared a house with two half Jewish brothers from London for while who were Gooners. They were top lads (shame about who they supported though). And to finish it all off, one of my best friend's father was saved by a Jewish couple just after World War ll.
Now i think of that lot when i hear anti-semetic... sorry, i forgot.... anti-Jewish prejudice/remarks etc.
These from anyone.
So. I read everything i could lay my hands on regarding this subject. Thanks to the Internet you can do this. After a while it is quite depressing.
Here's the conclusions; At varying times in history, many people have opportunistically manipulated situations to use the Jewish population as a scapegoat to secure their positions, wherever.
Some secular Jews have done some incredibly terrible things. Most have not- and Jewish communities through history have had the sh** end of the stick prodded at them for being proud/sustaining of their religion, identity and heritage.
Also- some non-Jews throughout history have done some incredibly terrible things. Most have not.
Same with journalist's, professionals, trades people etc. Both Jew or gentile, you'll find outright tossers.
I think the word we are looking for 'a semite', is 'balance'.
Where i'm from in the North means i tell this to people's faces though, which maybe isn't that good- for anyone... except me probably.
Where's is all this going?
Right. The core philosophy of Islam (as my opinion) is to eventually dominate the region it settles in. This through population explosion and a complete refusal to assimilate into the surrounding culture. There is a core belief that the Jewish Homeland of Israel is on stolen land and many influential organisations take that Elders of Zion book as being true. Hamas for instance has several parts of it's Charter (22 btw) that is pasted straight from this book. This (i personally think) would have been presented to the Mufti of Jerusalem etc by German National Socialists with the intention to introduce this into the Middle East region in the late 30's.
Any Muslim worth his salt will back up my accusation of institutional anti-semetism if you speak to him or her off camera, thinks your a 'jo shmo' nobody and he/she thinks you agree with them to start off with.
This is my opinion only;
What is happening to this country is a steadying Islamification. Bradford/Birmingham/East End/Burnley/Dewsbury etc is proof of this. The word 'vibrant' tossed about by the media is a lie. They think we are worthless trash and (again as an opinion by me only) that our girls are 'slags'.
There is absolutely no wish to assimilate to the host culture. When this place 'goes' (my opinion) then we've have had it- 20,000 years of one history 'taken out' in less than a hundred.
And that is what those EDL lads are out on the streets for shouting thier heads off, risking life, limb and (definately) liberty. This simply through having no political voice speaking for them, me, or the rest of the UK working class on the whole for the last 50 years.
That's where i'm coming from 'a semite'. And i (still) have a right to that opinion.

That's the politics of Global liberalism 'a semite'- in the first two instances anyway... pushing blindly for their vision of borderless world trade where there is only one identity; the 'Global Citizen'.
Israel is fighting for it's existence in the third instance- and many in the driving seats of liberal power in the first two countries you mention, whether those positions of control are political or in the media, they really hate them for it.
"secondly is a sharia state was to be made it would be in their country not in the west for sure but again do u even think of that."
If i turn up at a rugby club on my own and bring a football, i'm not going to make everyone play football am i? Now if everyone *except* me turned up with a football and i had a rugby ball, then i'd quite probably (due to the laws of averages) have to end up playing footy.
When the Muslim population of this country hits 50%+ then they aren't going to be watching episodes of 'Songs of Praise' with Thora Hurd on a Sunday afternoon are they?
You guy's will want your own thing. Obviously.
And that thing, an Islamic state/or Islamic controlled enclaves, is incompatable with the values and culture of a Christian Great Britain that hundreds of thousands of British men & women fought (and died) for in two World Wars.
Thanks.

"so if israel was a state that was abiding by the law of the torah u wouldnt bear it whatsoever, becoz actually u as a non jew u have no value to their eyes, u might not even get the status of a slave that would be too luxurious for u. if u lived in an islamic state ud have the right to be defended by the muslims themselves, anyhow."
That's like saying living under Sharia Law is better than being ruled by Satan and his minions: Judaistic or Christian Law doesn't rule countries like Islamic Law in any country the world over. In fact the only possible reason to include a comparison between how non-Jews would live under Jewish or Islamic Law is to vilify Judaism and the one Jewish country.
The very emphatic name 'A Semite!' as used by a Muslim is emblamatic of a new rationale that is spreading around various Islamic and Leftist circles - namely to claim that as some Muslims are, by their birth, Semitic, and as all Jews are Semitic, it is therefore morally permissable for Muslims to vilify and criticize up to and beyond the destruction of the Jewish State. Kind of like how it is permissable to criticize the Scottish or Welsh as they are "part of the club".
This same logic applies to a dismissal of charges of anti-semitism by rabid Islamic antisemites, as who is to disallow criticism of their own?
Unfortunately for the Jew-haters, "anti-Semitism" as a word has but one definition in English: "theory, action, or practice directed against the Jews."
The full guise of their deceit becomes apparant with such statements as:
"if there was one nation that should shoot people like u it should be the muslims who r seeing their land occupied, killed like rabits at every corner of the streets, seeing their kids being snatched away from them and sold out"
So at one turn, Jews are Semites just like them, worthy of equality and subject to all the criticism met against evildoers; and at the next, Jews are evil invaders who must be repelled at all costs.
I do say that rather smells fishy.

Alas,John Denham is 60 years too late. The issue of non/white Christian immigration, should have been dealt with, under the 1948/49 British Nationality Act. The indigenous people, should have been asked via a referendum: What sort of country did they want to live in? Tragically, this was not done; today, the UK and much of Western Europe are left to pick up the pieces of a grotesque Boasnian multi-cultural experiment. Hitherto, utopian melting pot Zangwillian devotees, are now frantically shutting the stable doors, after the mules have bolted. For the real war is not being fought on the streets, by the EDL and the Trotskyite ANL but in European maternity wards.
For European civilization to survive, it has only one realistic course of action: Drang nach Osten, a peaceful drive to the East, towards a white Christian {minaret free} Lebensraum.
