The Muslim Militant Tendency

Richard Manns

Let us be thankful that, unless the British electorate has indeed taken leave of its senses, the Labour party will cease to be the "governing party" for some time.

Roger Thornhill

The Dispatches programme was encouraging in the views of many Muslims in Tower Hamlets who appeared to be roundly rejecting the Entryists.

What is shockingly predictable is the MCB "response" which appears to intentionally, in the face of contrary evidence in the show itself, conflate Muslims with Islamists then insists that it is Dispatches that is doing such things. Shameless, disingenuous.

De Rigueur

"This time, as Britain's governing party is once again suborned by forces determined to overturn British society, both the media and the Labour party appear to be looking the other way."

Because an election is just round the corner...

Labour can't really repudiate those it imported to elect them can it?

Richard, an Iranian friend of mine told me, soon after the election riots and their lethal aftermath in his country last year, that the only difference between A'jad and Moussavi, vis-a-vis the Nuclear Development Programme was the difference between how big, how sharp and how hard the stones to be thrown at adulteresses would be!
Similarly, there is little enough to be thankful for at the next election in your country vis-a-vis the coming Muslim majority and Shaa'ria.
I predict that the number of "Moderate Fata Morganas" will increase dramatically at the next election , and that the next PM of whichever political party will STILL have no answers to the question of what to do about the infiltration and infection of the British body politic by this lethal disease.
We are all, Richard, friendly hosts, about to be slowly choked by our own kindness!

I’m both pleased and very cautious about this fatwa. Firstly, I think we need avoid being drawn into a frame of mind whereby we’re awaiting the edicts of muslim scholars with eager anticipation, as if our fate is somehow to be determined by one branch of islam or another. Secondly, this scholar appears to represent primarily the Sufi branch of islam which (a) is tiny compared to the Sunni and Shia branches (1% of the total compared to about 87% and 12% respectively) and (b) may have no effect at all on the other branches. Thirdly, this view of the matter seems to have been prompted by the wave of attacks in Pakistan where the victims will, predominantly, be muslims. Does the definition of innocent civilians extend to non-muslims? Many muslim commentators have been very equivocal on this point. Traditional islamic law does not consider non-muslims to be innocent since they are guilty of rejecting Islam.

Viva la revolution Islamica!

Paid for by the British taxpayer of course. Over on the Coffeehouse main blog there is a post up about what William Hague should do once, and if, he enters King Carles Street.

The first question to ask - do we still have a Diplomatic Service interested in protecting the UK's interests, rather than one that seems committed to a Pax Islamica

The real threat for Labour apparently, is not Mass immigration from Islamic countries, not supporters and apologists for Islamis jihad and Sharia, but people like Geert Wilders,the Dutch MP, who opposes those things.

See how the Labour 'left' responses to Wilders' visit to Westminster on Friday morning.

David Guy

I'm waiting for the fatwa stating that any Muslim who has evidence or even reasonable suspicion that his neighbour is involved with violent jihad must report it to the police.

First, the positive (http://www.islamicresearcher.com/edict-against-terrorists)
The main innovation is reportedly excommunicating those who espouse violence against non-combatants. It will be published in Arabic and Urdu. It comes from a reputable source.
However the fatwa is all too little too late. Without addressing the Prophet's own example of massacring prisoners of war, assassinating opponents who used rhetoric only, and violating treaties to take military advantage - where is the profit in a 1,000 empty fatwas like this?
Islam is finished, its own internal contradictions and the intensity with which it is now being scrutinised will increasingly erode the pretensions of even its most ideologically committed followers. Many Muslims are already privately saying how deeply disturbed they are at the direction their faith has gone.
The real question is what comes next?

John Mcdonald:

So , we are all cowards are we ?

You must be a very clever person to possess the unique knowledge of the moral fibre of a population that runs into the sixty plus millions .

Do please inform us all of how you have arrived at such a conclusion ;
and while you are at it could you please highlight what heroic acts of self sacrifice and patriotic commitment that you have carried out recently?

By the way, are you any relation to "Old Mcdonald Who Had A Farm?"

Suffolkbor

Margaret Muller Johannsen:

Good point Margaret .

I am glad that you still post on here and I am sorry that I got onto you last year about the kidney pie.

Please accept my apologies .

Margaret Muller-Johansson

Suffolkbor, "no worries", the kidney pie story you still remember that? you have a good memory, yeah I am still around I like Melanie's blog and her writing, Have a good day!
I will post again

The labour party may well manage to expel the Islamsts, but if they set up their own party, soon thay would be able to win enough seats to hold the balance of power in parliament. Guess what their demands wuld be to join a coalition?

Merlyn

The trouble is that the Conservatives have Muslim problems of their own.

The Telegraph is reporting that the Conservative Party is investigating its so-called Conservative Muslim Forum.

Very worrying.
