UK: driver spends 2 nights in jail for offending Muslims by "revving his car in a racist manner"

Oh, by all that is holy -- it's racist revving now! Will it never end? Muslims continue to suffer in the racist, hateful Sceptered Isle, where even car mechanics now target them with menacing revved engines. Oh, how long, how long must that innocent, spotless lamb, the Muslim community in Britain, have to endure the virulent, violent, unholy, racist, bigoted, Islamophobic, hate-filled, senseless attacks of infidels? What will they come up with next -- racist tea? Racist bowler hats? Racist fish and chips? Oh, how long, how long will this go on?

"Racist Rev Row," from the Sunday Mail, with thanks to Twostellas:

A DRIVER spent two nights in jail after being accused of "revving his car in a racist manner".

Mechanic Ronnie Hutton, 49, yesterday described his court ordeal which finally ended when prosecutors dropped the allegation of racism.

But he was still convicted of a breach of the peace for revving the engine of his £25,000 Lotus.

Witnesses claimed he had been trying to intimidate a Libyan couple on the pavement. Ronnie, of Stirling, claims he was only revving the powerful V8 engine to avoid another £15,000 repair bill.

But off-duty Chief Inspector Eoin Jenkins thought he was targeting Muslim Isam Maigel and his wife Hana Saad.

And when Jenkins, now retired, confronted Ronnie he was told to "f*** off".

On Thursday, at Stirling Sheriff court, the Crown ditched the racist part of the charge but Sheriff Andrew Cubie convicted Ronnie of breach of the peace and fined him £150.

Last night, he said: "To be convicted for revving my car in a busy street is hard to take. Does this mean anyone driving a noisy car in Scotland is now a criminal?"

[...]

In court, Mr Maigel, 28, then a student at Stirling Uni, said: "The driver came alongside and was trying to annoy us by revving his engine very, very loudly."

Using an interpreter, Hana Saad, 23, said he had degraded them "maybe because we are Muslim".

Ronnie claims he was only trying to prevent the repeat of a engine problem had had suffered earlier with the Esprit.

He said: "I've had problems with the Lotus since I bought it. I paid £15,000 for a new engine in 2003.

"As soon as I started the car the oil pressure light wouldn't go out. I accept I revved the engine - it's a V8 twin turbo and is noisy and frightening.

"I would openly apologise to this couple. I am not a racist."

LOTUS - Lots of trouble, usually serious

Look, the ultimate problem is not racist revving. (Although, again, what race is islam?)

The problem, my brothers and sisters, is racist breathing.

Admit it. You've all done it. You've walked by a muslim couple, or maybe tried to sit in a seat beside a muslim on a bus, and you've petulantly and kept on breathing, you obstinate. Literally with every breath you take, you are objecting and refusing the generous and loving threefold choice of conversion, taxation or death that islam imposes on all infidels out of a sense of generosity and disgust and hatred. Why? Why do you hate or ignore or fear islam? Islam is not going to kill or enslave or oppress you - unless you don't join it. And who would refuse such a handhold, after seeing what is done to kufr - by which one means "filthy infidels" - in our enlightened nations - you know, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Egypt, Iran, Syria, Indonesia and Malaysia. Only an obstinate, of course. Really, you bring it on yourselves.

So the next time you're out and you have the great fortune and blessing to be passing by muslims, your natural betters, please be fair and stop yourself from polluting their airspace with your racist breathing, as islam does not pollute Israel airspace with their 'tolerant rocketing' or burn Christian churches and schools with loving, ecumenical firebombs.

And perhaps, by just holding your breath, you may not catch a whiff of its stink.

This is fard upon all believers.

It probably is a situation where a retired british policeman, (department of revenue employee) was practicing a form of class envy. He has something against an individual driving a Lotus. By traveling with a muslim couple he is able to perpetuate a lot of grevious mischef in the name of Islam.

Another slant perhaps would be that "racist revving" is only noticed by Muslims because they want everyone to ride horseback as did their ancestors?? It's a superiority thing.

Maybe the witness actually thought the couple were frightened because he knew, deep down inside, that Muslims practice a form of stupidity that lends themselves to be easily offended!

The more this rubbish keeps going the more outraged the Brits become.

However, keep in mind the bloke cussed at a copper. Not a good idea.

As for the offended mohammedans, when are they not offended? We just won't convert and go live in the Stone Age with them.

This news is a week old. I mentioned it in a posting I did on the 17th concerting Australia. I think I will just repost it as it expresses my feeling and I am sure many of my fellow compatriot.


It is nice to see that the Government in the land OZ know what they are doing and have got the testicular equipment and say it as it is, unfortunately the British Government at the movement are still living in Never Never land this has just been printed in the DailMail.


A driver was held in custody for two days for "racist revving"
because a Muslim couple accused him of "revving his car in a racist manner, apparently the revving of the car engine caused them to feel afraid and they felt they were being targeted because they were wearing "ethnic clothing".
The case was dropped due to lack of evidence but Mr Hutton was still charged with "beach of the peace and fined £150.00p.
The complainants, Isam Maigel and Hana Saad said they felt " scared, embarrassed and degraded by the revving engine".


I don't know what is happening but brown lipstick seem to be the preferred shade this year with the Government and its PC minions. Think of the possibilities you child driving his toy pedal car down the street suddenly being arrested by a SWAT team for going brum brum too loudly which had offended the sensitivities of a group of muslims who had just come from loudly picketing the Danish Embassy and demanding the death of all infidels. The mind boggles.

Here is the link to the Blogg I got it off please leave a comment as I am sure like me he needs a bit of assurance that we are at least sane and not crying in the wilderness.

Sorry I have to leave now and have a good cry over the demise of my beloved country.

What... the... .... .... ....

Revving an engine is considered harrasment in the UK? People with sports cars rev their engines all the time at traffic lights or stop signs.

"He complained to the fiscal and the new charges surfaced months later. He said: "The police kept me in custody over the weekend because I made the mistake of swearing at a senior officer.""

New charges were filed are he complained. This looks like police harrasment more than anything else.

A couple of details that the article didn't mention.

- Did the officer indentify himself as an officer to the driver?
- For the harrasment charge to be valid, how did the driver know they were Muslims?
- Who were the witnesses? Were they Muslim?

From Braveheart to faint of heart. Shame on ye, Scotland!

Sensitive little turds aren't they?
Stories like this just convince me that they should be sent back where there are few cars that would insult them. Buh bye.

Lotus V8 = decadent infidel object of desire = should be totally silent & pref. hidden under a tent = violation of sharia = insult to islam = racist revving = "Islamophobia! Attack! Sue!"

The muslims appear to be more sensitive than modern western people. I guess that they have extra senses. This is always true of people that practice stupidity. Thus you offend them greatly with your constant breathing.

Oh, an explanation for the "sulphur" smell at the UN....heh heh

BWI: "Breathing While Infidel".

Prophet Geoff


Release the hooligans!

What the f*** is wrong with the British legal system? This is irrational and absurd. It goes to show you have cravenly fearful those in authority have become. If I were you, I wouldn't trust them with my life.

That does it! Muslims can't even walk the streets without getting violently assaulted by skinheads and their cars! I think it's about time we abolish democracy and replace it with Sharia, so nothing like this will ever happen again! ALLAHU ACKBAR (or something)!

Muslims have invented a single cylinder engine which does not rev in a racist manner.

Instead of going vroom, vroom.

It goes, dirkadirkadirkadirkadirkadirka!

What next? Walking during the hours of darkness with an Islamaphobic gait?

Being in a built up area with a racist hairstyle?

Being arrested by SO19 for having a pattern on the sole of your shoe similar to the Arabic word for Allah?

Actually that might not be a bad idea, I wonder where one can get stick or nail on shoe soles with the Shahada on? Perhaps a market out there for you budding entrepreneurs!

The more this nonsense with racist revving and racist everything goes on the more people will resist and push the other way.

Holy Cow. I better make sure there are no foreigners nearby next time I rev my baby and drop the clutch at a stop light. I might be laying racist rubber. I'll have to drive on tiptoes from now on. Could you picture the kafuffle if I cut someone off in a racist manner? I can already picture the witness: "He passed me/cut me off because I was muslim. Death to infidels". To which the courts repeat: "Infidels must be punished for disrespecting Allahs people. Jail time and restitution for this clown". Maybe I should just stay home and keep away from the Human Rights Tribunals.

Okay, Yusef, print up the signs. Ali, break out the firebombs. Mohammad, pass out the pistols. Mahmet, contact the BBC and Reuters. C'mon everybody, you know what to do, we've been through this enough times. Stand by, cue the uulations, it's time for.....

REV JIHAD!

How dare he drive a Lotus while "true believers" are walking on the side of the road? Outrageous! He should be shuffling along the sides like a good dhimmi, while the center of the road is left free for followers of Mahound. He should not be on horse either—as someone posted—horses are not for dhimmis.

The bobby was probably jealous of the car also.

This is a disturbing report and should be publicised as widely as possible. I wonder why this is not mentioned in the Aust press.

Apologies in advance to my UK anti-Jihadists...

Police called after one flea is found on student's kitten

By TOM KELLYLast updated at 22:00pm on 22nd September 2006

Animal lover Robert Emberson thought he was doing a good deed when he adopted a stray kitten from a cat charity.

The police, it seems, did not agree.

A few weeks after giving the 16-week-old cat a new home two officers swooped on his house accompanied by charity workers to demand he return his new pet.

The action came after a single flea had been spotted on the kitten, named Plume, by one of the charity's officers during an earlier visit to check the animal's welfare.

*********************

WTF are you up to in the UK?

I'm beginning to think that Islamic Jihad is simply one of the myriad opportunistic infections which beset an immunocompromised society.

These infections come because the culture has decided to have unprotected cultural sex. The decision to abandon your societal prophylaxis (your drunken embracing of multiculturalism and political correctness) has led to deadly pathogens working their way into your regulatory system.

I know at some point the metaphor breaks down -- but Islam seems to be both one of those opportunistic infections, or the manifestation of full blown A.I.D.S. after infection. The same could be said of the EU, and all the crank social engineering boondoggles you guys seem so be addicted to. World Court. Worship of the UN. "Multilateralism". Multiculturalsim. Islam...

The A.I.D.S. virus works in a nefarious way -- it's singularly designed to target the T-cells in the body -- those are the sentinals which endlessly search for potential pathogens, and upon finding them, send out the appropriate information so the body can begin producing anti-bodies to fight off infection. But the A.I.D.S. virus, in tageted assasination of these sentinal cells, assures that the body remains uninformed about the threat --

This is the portal thrugh which the body then becomes susceptible to things like bird flu, or fungi which normally only attack plants.

While posting about this preposterous 'flea' incident may seem off topic -- I'd say that it's a symptom of a social system so out of control that it no longer has the ability to regulate the influx of potentially deadly pathogens.

Your cops should be rounding Muslims up, detaining them, and sentencing them to prison or death for subverting your priceless government. Instead we see them protecting the 'free speech' of murderous thugs, and arresting people who honk or who have a flea on their cat.

I'm not saying this kind of thing isn't starting to happen here too -- but I think this disease is already well advanced in Europe, the UK is catching up with her insane Continental friends, Canada is right there with you, and America is starting to catch a cold...

While Englishmen may detesta siesta, I suggest you start rounding up the roving packs of maddogs among you who are putting you in existential peril. And that goes double for the Muslims ones.

Revving up a twin turbo Lotus is racism?

Wait till they get a load of twin engines in F16s going into afterburner - after delivering a couple of crusader presents....

We haven't started playing cowboys and muslims yet - but it can't be far off.

The British will awaken eventually, the Dhimmis will be first as the Dhimmis think that by feeding the monster they will be the last to be eaten.

In a strange way it is not the Muslims who are going to suffer the brunt of the backlash but the politically correct brigade and the fifth columnists, the Marxists and the liberal left.

Take no notice of so called whilte backlash videos on you tube deliberately designed to be posted on PC websites, those are done by the Dhimmis and lefties themselves to try to tie the debate on Islamification to race and Aryanism, we know how they work, they may think they are pulling the wool over the eyes of the people, they are not.

The true defenders of Britian will not be targeting black or brown but people with evil in their hearts, collecting the names and addresses of the Marxists, the Trotskyites and the PC fifth columnists. Islam is not a race, there are white Islamists, both in "uniform" and in disguise, posing as liberals, editing news programmes, setting agendas, working with their allies in the left, the true enemy to undermine the basic cultural and historical foundations of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

They say that by denying people their own history it is easier by a factor of ten to replace that culture, that by denying the population of easily accessible knowledge of their own culture they can be convinced that they have no culture and insidiously set about replacing it with another and more sinister culture.

That is what we need to avoid, we need immigration into Britian, we need the right immigration, the PC brigade is now at the forefront of a huge anti immigration fight, they want to stop immigration from Eastern Europe such as Poland, Hungary and Romania. Why? Because they want more people from Muslim nations, they do not want Christians with western ideals coming into a country which is undergoing forceful Islamification. It is necessary therefore to get the right sort of people in this country and drown out the Muslims.

Poles integrate, Pakistanis don't.

You think this case is exceptional?

About 3 years ago a fat white kid about 12 years old was being hassled by a Muslim classmate for being fat. Finally he broke and said something like "Leave me alone you Pa** bastard!"

The Muslims father went to the school Principal who investigated, said it’s a kid’s playground thing, forget it.

The Muslims father went to the Police who investigated, said it’s a kid’s playground thing, forget it.

I think the Muslims father then went a Race Relations outfit. Either way the boy was charged with "Aggravated racial assault" by THE CROWN PROSECUTION SERVICE! Which is something like the Federal Attorney. “Aggravated racial assault" something only lawyers understand because you do not actually have to hit the victim to commit it. I think it carries a prison sentence of up to 5 years, maybe someone on JW knows the actual maximum?

It was only a major outcry in the National press that stopped the case. Even then the 12 year old boy who had been facing the stress of a major prosecution for months was not cleared! The details of the incident were placed on file and could be used against him in the event of another offence.

Up to 5 years in prison for a word and you wonder why people in the UK are scared?

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
Merry Christmas Freewoman, Mr Spencer, Mr Fitzgerald and to all JW readers!!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
OK, I know it's a bit early, but by the time December comes it may be a racist and illegal statement here in Britain. Certain coucils have already banned the word 'Christmas' (replacing it with 'winterval').
So, once again, before the thought police get me:
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

HAPPY EASTER (again, in advance just in case), and not forgetting:
GOD BLESS THE POPE!!!

Fred, Merry Christmas by the way, and may I say there was a similiar case with a 10 year old school boy earlier this year. The Judge said it was political correctness gone mad.
MERRY CHRISTMAS

I just found a link about this madness, I am sure that some nonBritish JW readers may think that I am making this up, unfortunately not:
http://www.spotlightministries.org.uk/politicalcorrectness.htm

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Here is a link about the 10 year old:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/manchester/4886014.stm
MERRY CHRISTMAS!

OK, So a guy gets jailed for revving his car in a racist manner, sure. The British government was probably trying to show its compassion.

But whatever happened to the Dr Bari guy who threatened to unleash two million terrorists earlier this month?

"Some police officers and sections of the media are demonising Muslims, treating them as if they are all terrorists, and that encourages other people to do the same. If that demonisation continues, then Britain will have to deal with two million Muslim terrorists, 700,000 of them in London.”

Perhaps a double standard? Time for high tea.

I had a 1970 Lotus Elan S2. Didn't have any more problems with it than any other British manufactured car that I know of.

It was great on the back roads of Britain, in the curves and the like. But here in the States, the water temp seemed to be near the red line most of the time...not as cool here as in GB. Could have used a larger radiator but no room for one.

I guess in the States, one really needs a 'Vette. Never had one , though.

It is starting to look like the US Armed Forces will need to invade and liberate GB, and free her people. The PC Think there is too far gone.

What would be a good name? Operation Blair Bye-bye? Operation Return To Sender?

Any suggestions?

SCV:
'Operation Merry Christmas'

I've had several encounters where Muslims at local convenience stores were cold and rude and handed me my change in a cold and dismissive manner. What's next? Can I bring a legal charge for giving change in a (reverse) racist manner? Bottom line is that this is bloody insane. Brit posters need to assure international readers that this occurrence is merely a quirk and not representative of average Brit thinking on the whole (or better yet - DO something about it), or the unfortunate fact is that most of the world isn't going to be too sympathetic when the Brits go down. And why on earth is this Ronnie fellow groveling and debasing himself and publically protesting that he isn't a racist? It stands to reason that if normal westerners keep "protesting too much" in this embarassing manner, the pent up frustration is eventually going to blow like a champagne cork.

Racist car revving? Oy vey! Now I've heard everything!

EnglishBlondie

Yes I remember the case now it was reported nationally. The Judge asked the police why they had nothing better to do. But did you know that he had his behind kicked for saying it and was ordered to apologise to the police?

Even Judges cannot criticise political correctness now and I don’t think that report went beyond the local papers.

SCV, "Didn't have any more problems with it than any other British manufactured car that I know of." So it stayed in the shop or broken down on the side of the road half of its life?

'Winterval' was the best they could come up with? ***sigh***

Merry Christmas all. Happy Easter. Christ is Risen!

If I see a burka as I am driving, I'll slip my car into neutral and rev it a few times in a harsh, threatening manner. Unfortunately, the sound of my 4 cylinder engine revving will cause pity and sympathy among onlookers...

He should have just run them over with the car and then picked off Jenkins, too. It worked in North Carolina and Frisco.

Merry CHRISTmas everybody.

Yes, this is militant PC run amok but there seems to be a point we are missing here.

Exactly what race are Muslims? I thought it was a religion and not a race.

God Bless Benny16

Islam...is not a race. Defend yourself with the truth.
