PLEASE BE NICE TO THE IMAMS..

No one in their right mind would encourage violence towards any fellow citizens. However I read that a..
"A brutal assault on a London imam has highlighted fears that Muslims are suffering a sharp increase in race attacks after the failed car bombings in June. The 58-year-old imam from Central Mosque in Regent's Park, is in a critical condition after emergency surgery to both of his eyes. Attacks on Muslims and mosques in Glasgow, Manchester and Bradford have been blamed on heightened community tensions since the bungled terror attacks in London's West End on 29 June and at Glasgow airport the next day. Strathclyde Police said the number of racially motivated attacks it dealt with rose from 201 in June to 258 in July. It said 31 of those were definitely connected to the airport incident"
Stop right there. I don't believe for one moment that there has been ANY sharp increase in race attacks on Muslims. However given that the Central Mosque in London concerned has been selling DVDs that proclaim the coming mass extermination of Jews around the world on a "day of judgment," maybe some people have got fed up waiting for the Police to prosecute? One excerpt from this Mosque DVD shows a preacher, Sheikh Feiz, imitating the sounds of a pig and referring to the Jewish people who will be killed on the "day of judgment." Another preacher, Sheikh Yassin, states that United Nations missionaries and Christians conspired to inject an AIDS virus in inoculations against diseases in Africa. It's my view that such a Mosque should be closed down and the Imams that preside over it prosecuted. That said, I don't agree with vigilantism but maybe it is the State which has let the people down? Given the terrorist outrages carried out by Muslims, and those failed terrorist outreaches attempted by Muslim, and the significant level of support some Muslims have given to the Jihadists, I think the British people have been more than tolerant, don't you? The time is rapidly approaching where either the State will confront militant Islamics on all our behalf or the people will have to conclude that their own Government refuses to defend them.

I saw yesterday a similar story from Scotland.
Now, no one should be targeting innocent Muslims for hostility and verbal/physical abuse, but I wonder, how much are these Londonite and Scottish Muslims doing to allay the violent image their co-religionists have created of Islam, and to prevent jihadists from making new recruits among their number? How much are they REALLY doing, and what does it entail?
This has echoes of the West Midlands Police and the CPS threatening Channel 4 over the Dispatches programme which exposed the jihad-preachiung in UK mosques.
Andrew Anthony had an excellent comment piece on this in Sunday's Observer:
"Furthermore, the statement made clear that the police had asked the CPS to look at bringing a prosecution against the programme makers for stirring up racial hatred. Only a regrettable shortfall in evidence stood in the way of criminal charges.
Quite a story, then. The only problem is that the real story should have been about the alarmingly censorial and quite possibly libellous attack on investigative journalism. No matter, on Radio 4's PM programme, it was Dispatches' commissioning editor Kevin Sutcliffe who was subjected to a grilling, while Abu Usamah, one of the subjects of the documentary, was portrayed as a harmless victim. Usamah was 'totally appalled', he said, that Channel 4 had misrepresented his efforts to foster multicultural harmony.
Usamah was not asked to cite any examples of misrepresentation. Nor was he confronted with the recordings of his sermons broadcast in the documentary. Now that would have made for a compelling piece of radio. For here is Usamah spreading his message of inter-communal respect and understanding, as captured in Undercover Mosque: 'No one loves the kuffaar! Not a single person here from the Muslims loves the kuffaar. Whether those kuffaar are from the UK or from the US. We love the people of Islam and we hate the people of kuffaar. We hate the kuffaar!'
'Kuffaar' is a derogatory term for non-Muslims. The police and CPS suggest that comments like these were taken 'out of context'. I've read extended transcripts of Usamah's quotes and I'm satisfied that they were perfectly 'in context'.

"'Kuffaar' is a derogatory term for non-Muslims."
This makes it sound like rhyming slang. Kuffar is the traditional Islamic word for non-believers. It hasn't been made up by Muslim gangs in the last three years.
So an Imam gets attacked and we all hear about it. The Muslim council of Britain certainly got the press release out quick enough to portray it as a racist attack and that they'll have to have bodyguards to portect against a surge of anit-islam feelings.
So where was the MCB when they tried to bomb Glasgow airport? Where were they when they tried to bomb London again? Where were they whenever a terrorist attack has been carried out in the name of islam?
Instead all you get is some half baked apology saying that innocents shouldn't be targetted. Innocents? get the MCB to clarify that position or indeed look into it yourself.
The MCB needs to immediately and forever renounce all terrorist attacks done in Islams name. It needs to stand side by side with the police and security forces by handing over people that may want to committ these attacks. It needs to modernise it's religion and stop the move to an Islamic state wherever Muslims are. And to live in peace accepting the laws of the land they are in for example 'when in rome do as the romans do'

Abbas 20yrs old sent to a "Young offenders' institution"....that's ok he's only a kid and he was forgiven by Father Ingwell.
St. Marie's has been vandalised, targetted many times being situated in the wrong part of towm!
"Police said they had an open mind over the motive for the attack and were actively pursuing all lines of inquiry."
So why is the Independent calling it a racist attack? :S
I hate to see it come to this. It is going to get worse before it gets better, unfortunately.
I wonder what the police have acknowleged about the number of attacks directed toward the Jewish population?
Peter,
Well said and thank you for drawing this article (in a paper I never read on principle) to general attention. Sometimes they get it right, so I will give them that!
The duplicity and sheer bare-faced lying of Abu Usamah is breathtaking. That he can talk about "inter-communal respect and understanding” while he said what he did in the documentary can only foster one thought about what he really means: wicked, vicious, deceit on a scale that doesn’t credit his voice to be heard on any broadcasting medium – let alone a Mosque. The Green Lane mosque and the rest like it, should be closed down immediately.
And the fact that he and the other Imam who was interviewed, were only asked to comment on the allegations and not even remotely challenged or faced questioning on their videoed speeches was appalling.
I really can’t believe what is happening at times. Talk about “…while Rome burnt”.
Doesn’t it also tell you all you need to know about a totally discredited, politically-correct CPS and West Midlands police?
For any of you who didn’t see the documentary, or have forgotten, it’s on You Tube in six parts here
"Another preacher, Sheikh Yassin, states that United Nations missionaries and Christians conspired to inject an AIDS virus in inoculations against diseases in Africa. "
That is one of the most dangerous conspiracy theories around today. A few years ago Polio was on the verge of following Smallpoz into extinction, but thanks to the work of Wahabbi preachers in northern Nigeria and other parts of west Africa who denounced vaccinations as a Western conspiracy the disease has made a strong comeback leacing thousands of children crippled for life.
