U.K.: Muslim officials sit during standing ovation for war hero

"'Respect' for me, but not for thee"

Whose side are they on? He was fighting the Taliban and threw himself on a grenade to save his fellow soldiers.

We have seen before in the United Kingdom that insulting Britain's armed forces is one unmistakable line Muslim groups cannot cross without a public response. "Fury after two Muslim councillors refuse to take part in standing ovation for Marine who won George Cross," from the Daily Mail, February 3 (thanks to all who sent this in):

Two Muslim councillors were under fire today after they refused to take part in a standing ovation to honour a Marine who won the George Cross.
Salma Yaqoob and Mohammed Ishtiaq remained seated during a ceremony for Lance Corporal Matthew Croucher.
The 26-year-old was awarded the George Cross after he flung himself onto a Taliban hand grenade to save his comrades during an ambush in Helmand Province in 2008.
He was serving with 40 Commando when his patrol came under fire but he miraculously survived because his backpack took the force of the blast.
L/Cpl Croucher became the most highly-decorated serving Marine when he received the George Cross for 'outstanding bravery not involving direct contact with the enemy'.
More than 100 councillors at Birmingham City Council attended a meeting on Tuesday night to honour L/Cpl Croucher, who was there as guest of honour.
But when the councillors stood to give him a standing ovation Cllrs Yaqoob and Ishtiaq, who are both members of the Respect party, refused to get to their feet.
Fellow councillors today reacted with fury at the snub and branded the pair 'shameful'.
Conservative Cllr John Lines said: 'They should be ashamed of themselves.
'This was not the time or place to stage an anti-war protest - this man risked his life for his comrades.

You may want to read this next part sitting down.

Yaqoob and Ishtiaq yesterday remained defiant about their decision to snub L/Cpl Croucher, branding the gesture 'false patriotism'.
Cllr Yaqoob, Respect Party leader and head of Birmingham's Stop the War Coalition, said: 'It was more about the politicians feeling good about themselves for sending our young men to fight for reasons that have proved to be false.

Once again: Croucher threw himself on a grenade in a fight with the Taliban. Honoring him is "false patriotism?"

'I have every sympathy for our soldiers on a human level, they are only doing their jobs.
'But this ovation was just a big public show, it was false patriotism.
Wrapping coffins in the flag and awarding medals does not make it right.'

You're showing us everything we need to know about "false patriotism," Yaqoob.

Salma Yakoob : http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2006/aug/02/notsobrightmartin

She is a regular contributor to the UK News the Guardian - they are completely anti-West. She is of Pakistani Origin.

Mohammed Ishtiaq : http://www.birminghampost.net/news/west-midlands-news/2010/06/22/councillors-lodge-official-complaints-over-birmingham-anti-terror-cameras-65233-26696628/

He is completely anti-West. He is of Pakistani Origin.

U.K.: Muslim officials sit during standing ovation for war hero.

Not surprised. UK appeared to be plagued with rats.

We have Obama in the Whitehouse - how many rats under the rug is he keeping? We are not far behind them seeing similar scenarios right over here.

Salma Yaqoob is always an unwelcome presence. Strangely, although she is a member of the oxymoronically named Islamo-Marxist 'Respect' party which has no MPs, she has appeared on a number of leading UK political television and radio programmes to tell us Brits just how bad we all are.

I wonder if she'd care to take the following quiz? Circulate it and see what responses you get. This should provoke indignation in any Muslim who is asked this series of straightforward questions and by answering them unwittingly condemns themself: http://durotrigan.blogspot.com/2011/02/quiz-for-muslims.html

Time they were stripped of their British citizenship and sent back to Pakistan where they belong.

Britain, your proud and glorious Marine, L/Cpl Croucher, brave, decisive, and displaying extreme heroic courage, laid it on the line, for us all, for freedom, as have done so many others.

Here is another soul, an American journalist, who laid truth on the line, against (A Choudary), a lover of 911 deaths, and sharia over all (uber alles, get it?), and who displayed himself too, as a patriot of the truth with words indeed, showing great judgement, backbone, decisiveness, bravery and courage, as a proud journalist and American, in this troubling times. Something the leaders at all levels of Britain need to develop in themselves, such as was the likes of Gladstone and Churchill. So too, must many of America's leaders, develop as John Quincy Adams spoke out, You can see that journalist , Hannity, however, in action, here:

And so you don't forget, Winston Churchill is attributed with this quote, among such other genius he displayed:

Winston Churchill:
"How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law (sharia) every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property - either as a child, a wife, or a concubine - must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men." from his 2 volume book, The River West

Will Gladstone - Prime Minister of Great Britian:
“Qur’an… an accursed book… So long as there is this book there will be no peace in the world.”

There's so much I'd like to say about that disgusting hijabed woman up above, but I'll keep it among family and friends.

I am tired of all of this needless drama. The constant "tattle-tale" attitude of we in the west has grown boring and useless. The time to fight is now. These "revolutions" in Egypt, Yemen, Jordan etc, etc. are not peoples revolutions at all; this is a thought virus launched by Iran as a revenge for the STUXNET virus. Irans attitude is " if you won't let us have our own Nuclear tech, we'll just take over countries that have access to said materials. Thought virus's are more deadly than mushroom clouds. Make the call Robert....give the green light.

And yet, in spite of the immediate reaction, there will be no recognition, either excited or sober, that divided loyalty appears to be a constant characteristic of the Muslim mindset. And if anyone tries to express that recognition, they will be jumped on and silenced, if they are not in fact dragged before a court of law.

If anything, the by now standard rush into print on the part of enlightened journalists who will instruct everybody that "most" Muslims are absolutely loyal citizens of their adopted countries, and/or that the "appearance" of disloyalty is really the exact opposite, and that the nation can be grateful for the brave "principled" stand of its Muslim denizens, will kick in like a clock chiming the hour.

There is no need to express disgust at this event - every decent person feels it. But that the accepted response MUST be the exact opposite is as depressing, and as dangerous, as would a similar hugs-and-kisses response to a similar disgrace on the part of a vociferous neo-Nazi, if there are any of those in Britain.

Cllr Yaqoob: "It was more about the politicians feeling good about themselves for sending our young men to fight for reasons that have proved to be false."

Keep in mind folks, this is not about Iraq. These events happened in Afghanistan.

What were the "reasons that have proved to be false"...? Perhaps 'trutherism' is part of Respect's party platform.

It's amazing the England goes nuts if you bring a dog or cat to the country - it gets quanantined for weeks to guard against rabies introduction onto the island.

Yet they welcome Islamic rabies of the psyche with open arms...

"...If you visit Islamic websites, you can't help noticing how biologically unrelated Muslims refer to each other as 'brothers and sisters'. Try googling for 'brothers and sisters in Islam', and you'll see what I mean.

In contrast, all the non-Muslim inhabitants of the planet are kaffirs, kuffars, kafirs, kufrs or other variant spellings, which are usually translated as 'infidels'. Infidels in turn are subdivided into Dhimmis or Harbis, according to whether they should be subjugated or killed outright. All kafirs are 'najis' - filth.

The Muslims' loyalty to this imaginary brotherhood (known as The Ummah) trumps and overrides all other loyalties and obligations, including any loyalty to their country of residence and obligation to obey its kafir 'man-made' laws..." http://crombouke.blogspot.com/2010/01/brothers-and-sisters-in-islam-muslim.html

"false patriotism"?

The ever backwards muslim mindset wouldn't know 'false' if it smacked them upside the head - oh wait, they have been hit upside the head. They've been hit by islam and its evil & false prophet muhammad. Never mind ...

Not surprised in the least. Such like this is to be expected from those of the Islamic persuasion.

English Defense League time to make a lot of noise about the hypocrisy of these two. As Rahm Emanuel stated, never let a good crises go to waste. Jump on this opportunity to bring more members to your cause.

Deport both of them to Arabia TODAY.

And I'd rather let dogs and cats in.

Large Rally in LUTON UK Saturday, this is a transcript of a "Letter to the Editor" that was not published [slight amendments]

While I do not see the "wisdom" that a massive rally in a small town can be anything but a disaster i agree that this country has to defend its own culture.

That the EDL has come about because of Muslims jeering our troops returning from a war DUTY, goes against the grain, in this country when it is known from living memory of the sacrifices this country made for the world in general, from both world wars, it is also regarded as an HONOUR as well as a DUTY to serve your country, and many persons in both world wars who dithered in signing up found to their cost, white feathers and all that. Obviously these Muslims have allowed themselves to be portrayed as TRAITORS, and the media and politicians have used MULTICULTURISM as a smokescreen, Multiculturism cannot work where you have CLOSED SOCIETIES, and that is what Islam IS.

In response to your recent articles which have portrayed LUTON as being a bastion of cultural coherence, and respect for ideological differences, (I won’t say religious difference because to be respectful of religious difference you must tolerate everyone descended from Abraham, as a child of God, bound in the LAW of Moses, which has been explained by Christ).

Two articles need to be rebuffed one in which Les Ebdon in defence of his Luton University’s good reputation is prepared to take various newspaper’s to court.

Luton 1994 Abu Hamza al Masri becomes the founder of Supporters of Shariah a radical muslim website advocating violent jihad, it’s registered address at that time was in Dallow Road,

Luton 1996 Abu Hamza Al Masri becomes the preacher at a mosque in Luton, then there are allegations of an attempted takeover of Luton Central Mosque, I am sure that the commotion was unforgettable.

The sole intention of Abu Hamza was to provide young muslims to fight in foreign lands, from Bosnia to Chechnya, according to my research and which I provided to the authorities at the time Hamza was involving every Muslim to Jihad

• By taking actual part
• By Praising the actions of Jihadist’s
• By financial support
• By moral support

This means that in an ideological sense, that every Muslim espousing a critical and radical objection to THE WEST is a Jihadi.
In Christian doctrine by comparison there are 9 ways a person can share in the guilt of another’s sin.

1. BY Councel
2. By Command
3. By Consent
4. By Provocation
5. By praise or flattery
6. By concealment
7. By being a partner in the crime
8. By Silence
9. By Defending the ill done

So Mr Eldon if your students are in the clear with their involvement, they can assert that all nine of my points can be examined, in a clear conscience, if it cannot their guilt remains, as it could for everyone in the Muslim community.

Mr Eldon’s statement that:
[quote]“It was suggested that two of our graduates had been killed in Afghanistan, fighting for the Taliban, it’s an old and discredited, and untrue story. The original story was that one was killed, and the Sun has upped it to two, so it’s doubly ridiculous”[/quote]
could be that he has fallen into section 9 of the above , because even ONE is too many, for the population of a small university.

There can be no getting away from the fact that Abu Hamza was a successful recruiter for Jihad since his own immediate family, were arrested in Aden, after a shoot out, which caused the death of 4 tourist’s, Aden accused Abu Hamza as the mastermind behind it.

In The Suicide Factory, Sean O’Neill & Daniel McGrory quotes Ken Clark after Abu Hamza’s conviction as saying [quote]“The terrorism we are now combating has it’s roots in this country, we are seeing many British citizens engaged in it”.[/quote]

They go on to say that [quote]“There are no reliable estimates of how many young men passed through Abu Hamza’s hands, [sic]. Thousands attended the mosque and heard him preach around Britain. Some have perished in faraway battlefields in wars they knew very little about, or in suicide attacks, in Baghdad, Kashmir, or Kabul.[/quote]

Undoubtedly some have returned home injured, I wonder if the Stockholm bomber Adaly, had survived, but left injured would he have applied to Britain for Disabilities Benefits, I wonder how many returning jihadi’s with battlefield injuries are living off the State.

Oh I forgot I am also concerned by the Muslim hysteria about Christaphobia, we don't do BOMBS, FGM, STONING, neither do we take notice of EVIL literature we just use it for the fireplace.


I would be proud to stand with Lance Corporal Matthew Croucher.

Not so with Salma Yaqoob and Mohammed Ishtiaq who have shown their true colors...They side with the Islamic terrorists...

Arrogant traitors (AKA Islamic invaders) invited in by the Brits, and the Brits are surprised that they hate England and favor not fighting the Taliban?

Deport them.

And then millions of their sympathizing traitors / fellow members of the infiltrating, Terror-sanctifying Ummah.

These two cretins are why the EDL exists.

They should have been asked to leave the room. And "escorted" out if they refused.

"And I'd rather let dogs and cats in"

Love wonderful doggies and kitties.

Muslims and Islam? Not so much. (understatement)

Agreed.

And then, as others above have said, they should be seen off the premises entirely...all the way back to Pakistan where they belong, among the rest of the barbarian Mohammedan Mob.

No surprises here unfortunately.

Thank you, TJFREEDOMJIHAD, for the link to Sean Hannity's courageous stand to A Choudary. I wanted to email the video to a fellow freedom-fighter but the repeat at Foxnews.com had truncated 'the good part' when Sean told the mus-maggot, “You’re one sick miserable evil S.O.B but thank you for coming on anyway.” The truth is exquisite music to our ears.

P.S. God bless the animal lovers here. Mohmet cursed dogs. Our animal pets are innocents with unconditional love, faith, and loyalty. This speaks tomes about him.

Yaqoob and Ishtiaq should have been told to go f**k themselves. But, that has probably been prohibited by the Koran. What's their conception of "true" patriotism? Burning the Union Jack? Throwing insults at returning troops? Mooning the Queen when they say prayers? Have they relatives in Pakistan who are fighting the Brits and Americans? Britain really needs to tell these Borg where to get off, preferably to step off the cliffs of Dover.

Send them packing! They have no right for the liberty and freedoms of England. Send them back to their slum riddled neighborhoods and the sound of their false religious wailings calling them to prayers for the monster god they kill for! Begin by stripping them of all authenticity in community matters and brand them as the "enemy!"

This is what happens when treacherous governments allow our country to be invaded by third world colonisers and hand out British passports like confetti. These people are no more British than I am Chinese, and that goes for the ones who were born here as well. Their loyalty is to Pakistan and to Islam and that makes them Pakistanis in my book, so that's where they should be.

Salma Yaqoob and Mohammed Ishtiaq are both councillors for Sparkbrook in Birmingham, which is typical of many inner city areas in Britain in that in the last forty years it has become a Pakistani colony by the ethnic replacement of its indigenous working class population. This ethnic cleansing has happened with the active support of successive governments and local councils, who put the interests of third world peasants above those of their own people. In Sparkbrook today you won't see any white faces or hear English being spoken. The men walk around in what look like pyjamas; the women, if you see any, in burkhas or niqabs. It's not Birmingham, but Karachi transplanted to Britain.

I wonder just how many of our politicians, living in their safely white, leafy middle class suburbs, treat their homes in the same way they treat their country. Do they say to their children that they'll have to have to share a bedroom in future so they can put a family of Afghans in one room and some Somalis in the spare room? I somehow can't imagine it, so why do they think they can let all and sundry come and squat in our country? Then they have the damn cheek to call groups like the EDL and the BNP, who have the clear-sightedness and courage to protest about it, extreme right wing racists. Well if objecting to the invasion of your country makes one an extreme right wing racist then I am one and proud of it.

Islam is still very much a taboo subject amongst the mainstream media and political parties in Britain; for example, the BBC had no mention of this even on their local Birmingham news page. They cannot, however, hide the truth for ever and knowledge of the true nature of Islam is spreading albeit slowly. People can see what is happening with their own eyes if they live in or visit a large town or city. There are, however, still large areas of Britain where you never see a Muslim, as they're very concentrated in the cities at present. As their numbers grow they will start to spread, maybe even to the politicians leafy suburbs.

The question remains; what is to be done about this? There are only two effective responses which will solve the problem long-term; deportation or death. No one is currently advocating the latter, although it may well come down to that if this continues to be ignored until the point where people decide to take the law into their own hands. Many people, myself included, would support a programme of deportation back to their countries of origin, or their parents origin if they were born in Britain. That would mean scrapping Bliar's Human Rights Act and withdrawing from the European Convention on Human Rights because, although other countries seem to have no problem with deportations, our idiot judges think it infringes their human rights to deport criminals and terrorists.

In the patriotic song "Rule Britannia" there is a line "Britons never, never, never shall be slaves". Unfortunately, unless we grasp the nettle and get to grips with the Islamic menace, slaves are exactly what our grandchildren and great-grandchildren will be in fifty to sixty years time. That's what I am concerned about. If the price to be paid for avoiding that scenario is the deportation or killing of a few million Muslims then I would regard that as a bargain.

Is the Internet why we are becoming less tolerant of Muslims?

The Christian Serbs didn't have the Internet to educate themselves about the relentless hostility Muslims bring to all non-Muslim cultures. There exposure to Islam was real-time, face-to-face, over centuries: they came to hate Muslims so much they attempted another 1492 solution (when Spain kicked them out): ethnic cleansing, in the mid 90's.

Our exposure to Muslims is largely through the Internet. Muslims ought to ponder how we SEE Islam and what our reactions might be to it, which prompts a question to all Muslims living among us: Will we become more or less tolerant if
-we see Muslims dishonor our fallen soldiers?
-we see Muslims wanting to build mosques on the bodies of Americans murdered by Muslims?
-we see news like this: “There’s no more room in Cemetery Park in Mile End, so 350,000 non-Muslim bodies could be dug up to make room for a Muslim burial site”? (Evening Standard 10-07)
-we see that Muslims are involved in civil wars in Israel, China, Russia, Bosnia, Cyprus, Pakistan, India, Indonesia-Ambon, Indonesian-Halmarhera, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Côte d'Ivoire, Kashmir, Kosovo, Kurdistan, Macedonia, Nigeria, Philippines, Somalia, Jordan, Iran, Lebanon, Turkey, Chechnya, Sudan, Thailand, Ugandan, Yemen, Nigeria and East Timor? (google search “civil wars in the world”)
-we see that moderate Muslims never get out in the streets and protest against Muslim extremists who blow us up, commit honor killing, cut off heads, issue fatwahs against artists, and marry little girls?
-we see that moderate Muslims get out in the streets regularly if they oppose cartoons of Mohamed, prohibition of minarets and burkas or support Egyptian Muslims or Iranian Muslims or Palestinian Muslims?
-we see what happened after we saved Bosnian Muslims from ethnic cleansing?: In 8/09 Bosnia’s Muslim spiritual leader Mustafa Ceric called for Sharia law and declared Christian Serbian Muslim-majority territory boarding Montenegro as Muslim homelands; and “Muslims claim land INSIDE Montenegro as Muslim homelands.” (8/19/10 AndKronos Int’l)

I don’t believe we should ever again kill Christian Serbs to defend Islam. Why? I’ve seen the true face of Islam, and it is ugly.

Muslims need to heed a sea change in how the world sees them. They need to change.

The Christian Serbs didn't have the Internet to educate themselves about the relentless, aggressive hostility Muslims bring to all non-Muslim cultures. There exposure was real-time, face-to-face: they came to hate Muslims so much they attempted another 1492 solution (when Spain kicked them out): ethnic cleansing in the mid 90's.

Our exposure to Muslims is largely through the Internet. Muslims ought to ponder how much hatred is building against them as we SEE Muslims act like they do in the above article; as we see Muslim wanting to build mosques on the bodies of Americans murdered by Muslims; as we see Muslims revel in the streets, shouting Allahu Akbar!

Today we SEE, on the Internet, the real face of Islam. It's not face-to-face, realtime, but it's a credible portrayal of an implacable enemy, a real threat to our freedom. Almost every day we SEE, on the Internet, Muslims words and actions which shout, "I hate you. I hate your culture. The only thing I like about you is your money!" And year in and year out we see how passive ALL Muslims are after Muslim extremists blow us up or murder some infidel, yet they will riot, burn and kill if we portray Mohamed in a cartoon, or they'll march to help Iranian or Egyptian Muslims. But they never get out in the streets after their fellow Muslims kill us. NEVER! And generic condemnation of all terrorism (translation: committed by Amerika and Israel doen't count). Prove me wrong on that point, Muslims and multicultural liberals: give us citations so we can SEE those marches.

hould Christian Serbs attempt ethnic cleansing again, I would not want to lift a finger to help Muslims. That is a sad, dangerous admission to make, but it is one all Muslims should take seriously. We saw how Muslims benefited (see below) from our good, moral impulses to save them. Those impulses are diminishing, throughout the non-Muslim world, thanks to the Internet.

8/09 Bosnias Muslim spiritual leader Mustafa Ceric declared Serbian Muslim-majority territory boarding Montenegro as Muslim homelands.

Whilst I agree that the decision of the two "Respect"(respect for |Islamism pretty much amounts to uncritical slobbering) councillors was small minded and ungracious to refuse to give this young Marine the ovation he deserves, it is important NOT to overreact by branding them "traitors". Let the voters draw their own conclusions come election day!

Terry

These are the same people who secretly celebrate when suicide bombers kill dozens (yet would never endanger themselves that way). They have made a public statement saying they will not honor those who resist Muslim conquest. They are saying that the UK's patriotism is not against Muslim conquest.
