As someone who is critical of the ideology of Islam I try to remind everyone that not every Muslim is a terrorist or a religious extremist, there are Muslims who have personally turned away from the hatred in Islamic scripture and just keep the bits of Islam that seem reasonable, they are not, in my opinion, the problem. We should also not forget that there are paths within Islam that have managed to take the sows ear of orthodox Islam and make, if not a silk purse out of it, something a bit more humane than the source it grew from, they also are not a problem.
However even though I say that I have also to acknowledge that there is a significant minority of Muslim individuals who are extreme in their religious views and that those paths within Islam which are fully compatible with free societies and which have few theological conflict points with post-Enlightenment thinking, are in an absolute numerical minority when compared to Orthodox Islamic followers and paths.
It is from within Orthodox Islam that are coming the radicalised individuals, those who intimidate both the majority and minority communities of Britain, those who use their employment in public services to promote their view of Islam and the cadre of those who are violent in the name of Islam or approving of Islam inspired violence. Look at the videos below and you will see that some of what is going on in Britain’s more Orthodox mosques and among Britain’s orthodox Muslims is extremely troubling.
The videos and other material below come mostly from the Twitter account called Habibi. I know of this poster and he (I’m assuming it’s a ‘he’) has I believe posted on and contributed to the Harry’s Place blog, criticising Islamic extremism. He’s been one of those who although seemingly hailing from the centre Left, has consistently called out Islamic extremism over a period of many years. Basically if Habibi is pointing something out then we should be wise to listen.
From here on in is a collection of videos, pictures etc of preachers in mosques and Orthodox Muslims in the UK who have been exposing their Jew hatred and celebrating the pogrom in Southern Israel on 7/10. In some of this material you will find ample evidence that these hate filled Muslims are being assisted and backed by members of the Far Left.
Bradford
Habibi says that ‘The Bradford imam Shahid Ali’s Middle East Peace Plan is quite simple. Muslim armies must invade Israel. It is their duty. The “command of jihad”.‘
Newcastle Upon Tyne
Pro-Palestine protest has speaker denying that any atrocities occurred during the pogrom in Southern Israel. Habibi said: ‘You’ll find plenty of sickening denial in the ranks of the “Palestine Solidarity Campaign”. This was filmed just last Saturday and proudly posted by the Newcastle branch. “Made up stories about beheaded babies”, says the creep. Trade unions continue to back the PSC.‘
Luton
Pogrom denial from Muslim protestors
British Muslim denies atrocity
Another ostensibly British Muslim denying the atrocities of Southern Israel. Habibi said: ‘Sickening denial is rife among British Muslims. Try Ali Hammuda, a preacher with 161,000 YouTube subscribers. He calls Hamas “resistance fighters” who broke out of the Gaza “concentration camp”. And the atrocities? Propaganda! “There was not the beheading of a single child.”
Leeds
Jew hatred galore in Britain’s orthodox mosques. Habibi said: This furious rant for Hamas “heroes” was delivered just three days ago at the Al-Rahma Centre in Leeds, a charity. It is “obligatory” for Muslim leaders to support jihad. Vicious antisemitic preaching is out of control in British mosques. Nothing is being done about it.
Blackburn
Imam prays for victory for Hamas. Habibi said: ‘Standing in front of Blackburn Town Hall yesterday, two weeks after the most hideous Hamas atrocities were reported, the imam Usman Saqibi’s prayers for Palestinians include a plea to Allah to “grant them the ability to fight off the enemy”.‘
Leicester
Habibi says: ‘In the aftermath of the worst atrocities against Jews since the Holocaust, the Taybah mosque in Leicester has a message for Muslims. “Victory is on the horizon!” He adds a death cult flourish. Earlier in the sermon, he warned Muslims not to take Christians and Jews as friends.‘
Birmingham
Green Lane Mosque promotes the idea that calling for jihad is a good thing. Habibi said: The Green Lane Mosque in Birmingham says a man shouting for jihad against Israel is “an example to us all” and a “source of inspiration”. The “green birds” line is jihadi theology. Recently, a £2.2 mn public sector grant to the mosque was “paused”. When will it be rescinded?
Redbridge, East London
Habibi said: ‘Last Friday, the sermon at the Redbridge Islamic Centre addressed the issue of Palestine by way of the Qur’an’s lessons about prophet killing Jews and their relevance today. It ended with prayers for victory over the “cursed” Jews and infidels. “Scatter them and rip their groups apart, and destroy their houses and homes, bring them down and punish them like you do criminals.” “Make Muslims get their victory.” Over “the usurping Jews”. Vicious and dangerous antisemitism is out of control in British mosques.‘
Lewisham, South London
Habibi said: ‘Over the last 6 years, Lewisham’s Labour council has given the Lewisham Islamic Centre £539,418. Money well spent? Try last Friday’s sermon by its imam Shakeel Begg. Muslim countries must invade Israel for “honour”. At the end of the sermon, he prayed for a Hamas victory.‘
There’s a whole lot more Muslims and Leftists coming out in favour of a Jewish genocide that can be found on Habibi’s account and elsewhere on the net. What these videos and other material reveals is that Jew hatred is no longer something suppressed by the more extreme followers of Orthodox Islam, it’s out in the open and is starting to have real world effects. What many of these Muslim hatemongers are saying is stuff that goes way beyond acceptable free speech. To call for example for victory for Hamas is not expressing an opinion, it is direct incitement to violence from an audience that is more than likely to contain those predisposed to violence. I hope that the various police forces where these incitements has been made in act quickly and purposefully to get this shit and these shits under control, but I will not be holding my breath waiting for that to happen.
From my perspective after viewing the Islamo-Leftist dross above, I feel I have to say: Britain we have a problem.
