U.K.: Vandalism of war memorial with "Islam will dominate the world" deemed "not religiously motivated"

Racially motivated? No. Islam is not a race. Religiously motivated? Yes, and very obviously so. But craven fear drives authorities to outdo Orwell himself, and sweep this affair under the rug as being merely "political" in nature. "Muslim daubs war memorial with 'Islam will dominate the world' - but walks free after CPS says he was NOT racially motivated," from the Daily Mail, April 30 (thanks to all who sent this in):

A British Muslim has shown 'no remorse' after desecrating a town's war memorial with extremist Islamic slogans, a court has heard.
But the Crown Prosecution Service has decided that graffiti proclaiming future world domination for Islam, glorifying Osama Bin Laden and calling for the assassination of the British Prime Minister, 'was not religiously or racially motivated'.
Tohseef Shah, 21, admitted a charge of criminal damage to the memorial, outside Burton College in Burton on Trent, when he appeared at Burton Magistrates Court.
Shah admitted spraying the words 'Islam will dominate the world - Osama is on his way' and 'Kill Gordon Brown' on the plinth of the East Staffordshire Borough Council-owned memorial, on December 10 last year.
He was given a two-year conditional discharge and was ordered to pay £500 compensation to the council, plus £85 costs.
Prosecutor Andrew Bodger said information about Shah and photographs of the graffiti were sent to CPS headquarters in London, for a review by senior lawyers.
He was given a two-year conditional discharge and was ordered to pay £500 compensation to the council, plus £85 costs.
Prosecutor Andrew Bodger said information about Shah and photographs of the graffiti were sent to CPS headquarters in London, for a review by senior lawyers.
They found there was insufficient evidence that the criminal act was racially or religiously motivated - which could have led to a more serious charges and a harsher sentence.
The graffiti was discovered by a council street cleaning manager, who reported the incident and photographed the damage.
The pictures of the desecration were shown in court.
CCTV footage showed two figures spraying the slogans on the memorial. Although they could not be clearly identified, the footage showed one of the vandals discarding the spray can.
Shah, Horninglow, Staffordshire, has no previous convictions.
He was later identified from DNA on the spray can and admitted his actions.
Mr Bodger said: 'Shah wouldn't give an explanation as to why he had done it and had shown no remorse for this very sensitive matter.
The CPS specialist unit was sent the pictures, as well as his mobile phone records, to see if there was a racially or religiously motivated connotation.
'It was decided there was not enough evidence to prove this, and they decided it was politically motivated. It has caused great offence to the community.'
Defending solicitor Mumtaz Chaudry dismissed any belief that Shah held extremist views.
He said: 'This is nothing to do with his religious beliefs, his family's beliefs or his cultural beliefs. He is just an ordinary guy.
'He is remorseful but, at the time of his interview, he was simply answering questions and didn't realise that was the right time to show remorse.

"A British Muslim"

No such thing.

'This is nothing to do with his religious beliefs, his family's beliefs or his cultural beliefs. He is just an ordinary guy.

Why didn't they ask him why did he do it? Because the British are now scare s..tless from Mohamodians, They were scared knowing the idiot will spell it out why he did that. That will be taken up by the media and upset the UK's Multi-Culti "harmony".

I found the most redundant, taqyya, filled writings ever. All on one page, and put together in english. Download, and let the lies begin.

"Defending solicitor Mumtaz Chaudry dismissed any belief that Shah held extremist views.

BULLSH*T.

Pity poor England - on it's way down.

I always wondered what would happen if you spray painted a Mosque with the words: "Death to Israel!!! Death to the Jews!!!"

I mean would they call the cops or just try to find out who to thank and send the payment to??

Shah admitted spraying the words 'Islam will dominate the world - Osama is on his way' and 'Kill Gordon Brown' on the plinth of the East Staffordshire Borough Council-owned memorial, on December 10 last year.
.................

So sedition and a threat to the Prime Minister's life—as well as desecrating a war memorial—carry–what?—the same penalty as any other sort of graffiti?

Also, while I do very much agree that this was not "racist" as such—since, as is often pointed out, Islam is not a race—nonetheless, similar threatening graffiti, if scrawled on a mosque, *would certainly be branded "racist"*.

And how can "Islam will dominate the world" *not* be religiously motivated? Of course it is—the judge means that saying so is apparently not politically correct in today's Britain.

Soccer hooligans get jailed for shouting insults.

The cowardice of the CPS is there for all to see. The U.K. needs a civil war to wrest the power from those who are selling them out.

'Shah wouldn't give an explanation as to why he had done it and had shown no remorse for this very sensitive matter.'

Not a problem, he'll be hailed as a hero in his moslem community and I'm confident this will lead him to greater efforts. The more this kind of thing happens the more likely the lion will wake.

Not religiously motivated?

Well I guess that means islam is not a religion, then? Just what we've all been saying, all along.

At this rate the dhimmi Brits will soon be cutting their own heads off and apologizing to the muslims for not doing it faster.

Even though no one was physically injured, this is the kind of story that really boils my blood. In a sane world, every CPS lawyer involved in this case would be fired. But of course, it's not a sane world...and everything tolls merrily along.

Not that Cameron or the Conservatives are anything to write home about, but it IS a small comfort that Labor's about to be given the boot.

"Islam will dominate the world"

...false advertising!

This is the SAME UK that refused entry to Geert Wilders citing his "hate-speech?" Somebody better get that British "Lion" some smelling-slats, stat!

"... smelling-SALTS," that is. I hate it when I do that--I call it a "Defender of islam moment..."

"Not that Cameron or the Conservatives are anything to write home about, but it IS a small comfort that Labor's about to be given the boot."

And you think anything will change in the UK?
The British judiciary, media, police, educational institutes and 99% of the British politicians all show sufficient submission to Islam...the general public just trots along.
Like sheep.........

It will get worse..far worse, mark my words.

Not religiously motivated?
Well...technically speaking he's right. islam is not a religion. As we all know it's a form of totalitarian government in the guise of a religion.
Given that that particular fact is not well known to the average Joe...they should have called it religiously motivated.
Cowards all...

islam is a lie and
Truth is killing it.

'This is nothing to do with his religious beliefs, his family's beliefs or his cultural beliefs. He is just an ordinary guy."

Yes, of course. All the "ordinary guys" we all know are frequently in the habit of spray-painting "Islam will dominate the world - Osama is on his way" on various surfaces, including the plinth of a British war memorial. It doesn't mean a thing. He might just as easily have written "Arsenal Rule" or "My daughter was Honor Student of the Week" or "Winston tastes good like a cigarette should." He happened to write the first thing that came into his head: "Islam will dominate the world -- Osama is on his way." Let's not be so quick to endow this with meaning.

Well, now, I think that does it. It's time for a full emegency evacuation of the UK. Anyone NOT determined to laugh in the face of logic and justice you'll have to back it up, because its clear things are only going to get worse in the rain-swept isles. I hear Quebec is nice this time of year. And at least over there they seem to have a pair on 'em.

Have a look on the web.
Of all the papers in the UK.....
ONLY the Daily Mail reports this story.

Should be telling you something about the media in the UK.

As if it never happened.....

“Dennis Fletcher, chairman of East Staffordshire Racial Equality Council, said he suspected someone from the far right was responsible....”

Mister Fletcher....[silence]........MR FLETCHER.........[silence].......

The UK seems to be full of useful idiots like him.

"And you think anything will change in the UK?

Exactly! Whatever they do, it's too little too late.
Libs have this 'romanticized-fantasie-ignorant' view of muslims as some kind of Buddhist monks. If they just tried to think it through, they'd see things don't add up, and they are walking towards a catastrophe, but they won't. Ignorance is bliss.

?????? I don't understand how people so stupid can rise to positions of authority in government. As a matter of fact I don't know how someone so stupid can make it to any advanced age without accidentally slamming their head in a car door, falling down an open elevator shaft, or doing something else so stupid as to cause their own early demise. And what's worse is they obviously think that the people are as stupid or worse to buy this load of crap!!!

God Bless America and Israel

..................

Good grief, they certainly are, Mobamad. I started reading through the excerpt of "Body Count" by Naveed S. Sheik, and found that the expulsion of Germans from the east following WWII features a bizarrely inflated toll of three million dead, and that it represented "Christian belligerence"—despite the fact that there was no religious aspect to this conflict at all, and that it was a *reaction* to German aggression in WWII.

The final segment of Armenian genocide, in contrast, was committed by "Antitheists"—despite its avowedly Islamic motivation—because Attatürk's regime was "secular".

Also, the Irish Potato Famine—a natural crop failure where the English arguably evidenced a moral failing to proffer sufficient humanitarian aid—is presented as being no different ethically *from the Holocaust*. They were both, however, examples of "Christian belligerence".

Any case of Muslims attacking Christians—such as Biafra or southern Sudan—is vaguely referred to as "Islamic, Christian belligerence", and described as a "Civil War".

How does Sheik characterize the war in Iraq, with its raging Islamic insurgency, Sunni/Shi'ite violence, and violence against the Christian minority? You guessed it—more "Christian belligerence".

There are many more egregious examples, but why go on? The main point seems to be that Islam really isn't that violent, after all. Who's the audience for this crap?

The saddest thing is that this piece of incredibly shoddy scholarship was published by the University of Louisville.

OK, just one more example of Sheik's bizarre "scholarship". I assumed he would characterize the founding of Israel as "Jewish belligerence", but it looks as though he cannot even bring himself to recognize the existence of Jews at all—this is described as "Unclassified, Islamic belligerence".

The Yom Kippur War is described as "Islamic, Christian belligerence".

Final conclusions? "Antitheist", Buddhist, Christian, and "Indic" belligerence—all worse than Islamic belligerence. So that "Islam will dominate the world" scrawled on that monument? Nothing to worry about.

Go back to sleep, dhimmis!

Gravenimage: Mark Durie has replied to one of them, "A Common Word". It is very good.

http://acommonword.blogspot.com/2008/02/apostasy-fatwas-and-common-word-between.html

It would seem that an understanding of Christianity can be helpful in tackling these people, both intellectually and spiritually.

The CPS said Shah's offence could not be charged as a hate crime because the law requires that damage must target a particular religious or racial group.

(That's right! Rembember: we had another judgement last week that said the grey mass of unbelievers is not a "particular religious or racial group", but if you say the same thing about Muslims, you go in the can because THEY ARE a particular religious or racial group.)

It said: 'While it was appreciated that what was sprayed on the memorial may have been perceived by some to be part of a racial or religious incident, no racial or religious group can be shown to have been targeted.'

It seems that Islam is classified as a "race" or a "religion" when it suits Muslims, but otherwise it escapes such classification and becomes vaguely, innocuously "political" - yet Muslims can't be seen as seditious. Except when they plan to kill, and even then the British are confused...
(I'm not trying to pick on the British here, just that this story is about Britain.)
I remember my mother teaching me that life is much simpler if one doesn't lie. It is also simpler if you don't allow anyone else to lie to you. What a mess!

Its is called blackwhite in Newspeak.
It is the politicians and reporters second language.

Here is the judgement from last week, from Switzerland that seems to have signed up to the same rubbish laws:

Here’s the original link in German:

Die “Tiere” fügen sich


Basel, Switzerland: Proceedings were launched against a Swiss imam for a sermon/kuthba in which he called unbelievers, those who don’t believe in Allah and his prophet the “vilest of creatures, lower than vermin”, standard Mohammedan fare, as you can see here:


Those who reject (Truth), among the People of the Book and among the Polytheists, will be in Hell-Fire, to dwell therein (for aye). They are the worst of creatures. (98:6)

Surely the vilest of animals in Allah’s sight are those who disbelieve, then they would not believe. (8:55)

Verse 7:176 compares unbelievers to “panting dogs” with regard to their idiocy and worthlessness. Verse 7:179 says they are like “cattle” only worse.

Verse 5:60 even says that Allah transformed Jews of the past into apes and pigs. Verse 2:65 echoes the theme.

A hadith says that Muhammad believed rats to be “mutated Jews” (Bukhari 54:524, also confirmed by Sahih Muslim 7135 and 7136).

Verses 46:29-35 even say that unbelieving men are worse than demons who believe in Muhammad.

Here’s the judgement in German, I try my best to translate:

Damit dieser Tatbestand erfüllt ist, muß sich die Herabsetzung oder die Diskriminierung gegen eine bestimmte oder zumindest bestimmbare Rasse, Ethnie oder Religion richten. Diejenigen Menschen, die Allah nicht anerkennen, stellen indessen keine eigene – vom Schutzbereich der Strafnorm erfaßte – Rasse, Ethnie oder Religionsgemeinschaft dar; vielmehr handelt es sich um die unbestimmte Gesamtheit aller Anders- und Nichtgläubigen.

Das bedeutet: Würde ich den Spieß umdrehen und behaupten: “Alle Menschen, die an Allah glauben, sind weniger wert als Tiere”, dann ginge es mir an den Kragen. Denn dies wäre ja eine Herabsetzung “einer bestimmten oder zumindest bestimmbaren Rasse, Ethnie oder Religion”.

Judgement (my translation in English)

To fulfil the conditions for hate speech the attacks must be directed against a specific race, ethnical group or religion. The people who don’t recognize Allah are not a protected group because they are not a race, ethnical group or a religious congregation. It is rather directed towards an unknown quantity of other- and non believers.

So that means if you would turn it around and make the claim that “Everyone who believes in Allah are lower than animals, vermin..” then you can be booked for hate speech. Because you are attacking one specific group that belongs to one particular religion, (even though they are not necessarily ethnic or a race)

Interesting, isn't it?

That puts Muslims above the law. All over Europe.

Here's the link, sorry:

“Unknown Quantity”

'He is just an ordinary guy.'

Let this nut that is the ordinary guy come to my town and desecrate our war memorial. Would have no need for it to go to court.

OTP but an interesting case of Islamisisation in the UK, from a poster in Melanie Philips blog, describing her local Jobcentre (where the unemployed go to find jobs and apply for financial assistance) which has a Muslim manager. She doesn't identify the place but it seems authentic:

Poster on Mel’s blog (under discussion on 'election in lemming land')

"Helena Jofan
April 29th, 2010 10:24am
I went the job center after I was made redundant I went there to collect my jobseekers allowance and look for a job, everybody in there is a muslim, they have two entrance doors one is for the men one for the women, before I had a good job I am middle class white I didn't know there was places like this in the country, one time the manager a muslim told us we have to sit separate rooms if you are men one room if you are women different room, I basically drop out I didn't feel comfortable going there I stay home with out a benefit, but this is weird which country I am in? Britain or Saudi Arabia? I don't know, yesterday I watch Gordon Brown's comment about immigration he didn't like it, the labour don't like this kind of questions it upsets them, they don't know what to do because they bring to the country so many immigrants who believe sharia law."

It's highly unlikely that the civil servants up the hierarchy wouldn't know that this was going on.

"Islam will dominate the world!"

Over my dead body Fuzz face.

The useful idiots at CPS have cleverly concealed that Islam is an inseparably political religion. In this respect virtually any act committed by a Muslim can be construed according to convenience.

Otoh, I can understand "Kill Gordon Brown" nowadays being viewed as a popular consideration rather than a hate crime.

"Defending solicitor Mumtaz Chaudry dismissed any belief that Shah held extremist views.
"He said: 'This is nothing to do with his religious beliefs, his family's beliefs or his cultural beliefs. He is just an ordinary guy.'"

The scary thing is that the solicitor is probably right: for a Moslem in Britain, this quy's views and attitudes are prbobably pretty ordinary.

Weavo, you are so right! A war memorial is SACRED GROUND. Surrendering that to desecration by ANYONE is unthinkable. The worst possible insult to those who made the ultimate sacrifice, and to those who hold them dear. Muslim student, eh? I'd like about 5 minutes for a nice educational "chat" with him.

I'm confident that this little pimpstick muslim wouldn't be a court-burden in my town, either. The only public expense would be for the county coroner's time trying to identify him...

'Islam will dominate the world'

from the reaction of the authorities, it's pretty clear that Islam already DOES dominate Britain;
Today Britain, tomorrow the world!

To paraphrase one of the last true Brits:

If England should last another thousand years, then men will say that this... was their sorriest hour.

Did the creep have to clean off the graffiti, or was that left for the kuffar to do? He should at least have had to clean it, with someone standing behind him with a whip...

Just more BS from the cowardly dhimmi dummies in the UK. It's enough to make you vomit.

GRAVENIMAGE quoting from apologist sources:

"The final segment of Armenian genocide, in contrast, was committed by "Antitheists"—despite its avowedly Islamic motivation—because Attatürk's regime was "secular"."

RESPONSE: Let's get something clear:

Attaturk was only an officer in the Ottoman armed forces in 1915-16 when the Armenian genocide occurred. It wasn't until a decade later that his revolution captured power.

The Armenian genocide occurred on the watch of the Ottoman Caliph...Kurdish tribesmen were the primary instrument...and 'Allah O Akbar' was the battle cry during practically every massacre.

Looks like someone in Britain has figured out that Islam is not a religion....


Seriously, I wonder if the Crown Prosecution Service is thinking that for something to be "religiously motivated" the act has to be "anti- some religion" (anti-Semitic, anti-Catholic, anti-Islamic, etc.)

Since this was pro-something (Islamic supremacist), they're thinking it's not "religiously motivated."

Of course, if you are pro-something, you are by default anti-everything-else.

Silly and nit-picking. The Brits will PC themselves right into the Caliphate.

Thanks for posting that, PJG—I've read Durie's piece before, and it is very good. The disturbing issue of the Fatwas against apostates renders the "Common Word" especially grotesque.

Just slightly off-topic: on your first link, there is a poster for "Everybody Draw Muhammed Day", using an image from South Park. Even though cartoonist Molly Norris has bowed out, I hope commenters here with any artistic talent will contribute. The date is May 20.

It's called bigotry.

Over at New English Review, the 'Burton Mail', which is the local paper, informed its readers as follows:

"The words were cleaned off without difficulty at a cost of £500."

It doesn't sound as though the perp was made to do the cleaning himself; I get the impression the Council found the mess and cleaned it up (after the police had gathered evidence) and that the vandal was identified and tracked down sometime afterward.

He's been "ordered to pay £500 compensation to the council, plus eighty-five pounds 'costs'", which looks as though he's being required to foot the cleaning bill plus a bit extra.

Cornelius, I think we have a misunderstanding.

Most aspects of Atatürk's regime *were* secular, and I did not mean to suggest otherwise. Most of the Armenian genocide, which took place in several distinct waves, *did* occur before Attatürk came to power, during the Ottoman Empire. The first wave was in the 1890s; the second, during WWI (the period you referred to); but the third took place during the early 1920s, and included massacres of Greeks and the destruction of the Christian-majority city of Smyrna in 1922 as well.

Attatürk *was* in power during this last period. While he stood against Islam in many important ways, he decided—because he shared Islam's antipathy towards Infidels, felt they were insufficiently "Turkish", or simply because it was politic while he was consolidating his power—not to stand in the way of the last period of the Armenian genocide.

I meant that the Armenian genocide was Islamic in nature—*not* Attatürk's actions specifically.

Despite its limitations, I have strongly supported Kemalism in Turkey as an important brake on Islam. That does not mean that Attatürk was always a friend to the victims of Islam, however.

The above is what a Muslim wrote, in a debate with Ali Sina, short time ago.

"Since Islam is just and fair, it gives every member of the community what he or she deserves. This means that there must be a difference between the Muslims who back this system, stand by it and support it and the disbeliever. In fact, the Muslim is given priority in the Islamic country over the non-Muslim in this life and in the hereafter.
This is common among all countries, they do not treat their nationals like those who only reside on their land and who are not one of their nationals."

Now reverse this. If Muslims were to apply the same standards to the rights of infidel nations, it would mean that this young man would be guilty of treason and that he would be severely, maybe lethally, punished if caught doing the reverse in an Islamic country. Like "Democracy will dominate the world. The American army is on it's way. Kill the leader of this country"

"The above" should be replaced with "the following".

Here's a link to an extended version of the same article. Note who the perpetrator got to speak on his behalf to the press, one Abdullah Ibn Abbas of The Road to Jannah. Rather makes a mockery of Mr Choudray's presentation to the court about his client just being an 'ordinary guy'.

GRAVEN: "the third took place during the early 1920s, and included massacres of Greeks and the destruction of the Christian-majority city of Smyrna in 1922 as well."

You're right...I was referring to 1915-16. My beef is not with you, it is with those who try to exonerate Islam by falsely claiming the Armenian genocide was a secular experiment.

For the record, the Caliphate wasn't dissolved until 1924 (although the Caliph was just a figurehead by the early 20s).

this article is from when the graffiti apeared
ROYAL British Legion boss says vandals have “dishonoured those who have given their lives for our country” by defacing Burtonʼs war memorial.

Roy Whenman, vice-chairman of the town’s Legion branch, received calls from members saying an extremist message had been written on the statue. Having been informed at 9.20am, borough council chiefs had cleaned the graffiti from the relic, situated outside Burton College, in Lichfield Street, by 9.40am.

Mr Whenman, of Birches Close, Stretton, has described whoever committed the offence as “diabolical”.

He said: “There’s nothing worse, in my eyes, than discrediting a war memorial. It dishonours those who have given their lives for our country.

“I don’t know how long it was there for, but I was pleasantly surprised by the council’s quick action and I commend them for it.

“What I would say to them is there are other ways of expressing your anger about certain issues.”

Dennis Fletcher, chairman of East Staffordshire Racial Equality Council, said he suspected someone from the far right was responsible.

He said: “My reaction is one of horror. Just two nights ago at our general committee meeting we were talking about the harmony between communities in the borough.

“I suspect members of the far right have done this to stir things up and there are generally very good inter-cultural relations in East Staffordshire.

“Graffiti of any type is terrible but when it includes racist material it has to be considered utterly unacceptable.”

An East Staffordshire Borough Council spokesman said: “We would say that this vandalism is deplorable and we do our best to clean such graffiti as soon as we possibly can.”


so where now is Mr Dennis Fletcher now when the real culprit has been exposed? No comment from him.

..................

That was exactly the point I was making—that it was grotesque for author Naveed S. Sheik to characterize the Armenian genocide as an example of "Antitheist belligerence".

His whole goal in writing "Body Count" seems to be minimizing the role of Islam in instigating homicidal violence throughout history—and by inference, one assumes, to minimize the perception of Muslim aggression in the present. "Body Count" is an apologia, and quite a ham-fisted one, at that.

True, Cornelius. I referred to the early 1920s as the period when Attatürk was consolidating his power.

I don't think we actually have any major disagreement here.

"Islam will contaminate the world"

It has to be stopped.

GRAVEN: "I don't think we actually have any major disagreement here."

None whatsoever. In fact, though we have many noteworthy contributors, you, Dumbledores, and Wellington are the three I enjoy the most. All three of you post informative and insightful comments...so much more valuable than the typical venting.

Thank you, Cornelius. The feeling is mutual.

This was just another slap in the face for the British. They'll wait just a while longer before getting mad. Maybe after a bullet in the heart.

No. Islam is not a race. Religiously motivated? Yes, and very obviously so. But craven fear drives authorities to outdo Orwell himself, and sweep this affair under the rug as being merely "political" in nature.

This editorial remark by Spencer provides a good "teaching moment" for his readers who for too long have indulged the "Islam is not a religion" mantra, as though they are incapable of patting their heads and rubbing their stomachs at the same time. Obviously, Islam is both a religion and a political, or geopolitical, ideology. And if by "political" we include society, culture and laws, we will not fail to imply its totalitarian nature -- though it never hurts to add the descriptor "totalitarian" whenever possible in discussing the characteristics of Islam.

"graffiti proclaiming future world domination for Islam, glorifying Osama Bin Laden and calling for the assassination of the British Prime Minister, 'was not religiously or racially motivated'."

This guy should be deported with these kind of views. This is exactly what is wrong with the UK. Too soft, too politically correct. In Canada this guy would have been thrown in prison and then deported. I am so glad I no longer live in the UK. Comapring the media to Canada, the UK media is far more censored and closed off to anything which may offend minorities, yet the minorities are allowed to offend the majority. There is a law against what this thug did, it is called 'TREASON' !! I wonder what would happen if a Chrisitan did exactly the same to a mosque?
