UK: "London Taliban" threatens to murder women who don't wear headscarf

Several years ago we saw Islamic supremacist thugs target women who weren't wearing hijab in Iraq. Now this Sharia intimidation has come to London. "'Wear a headscarf or we will kill you': How the 'London Taliban' is targeting women and gays in bid to impose sharia law," from the Daily Mail, April 17 (thanks to all who sent this in):

Women who do not wear headscarves are being threatened with violence and even death by Islamic extremists intent on imposing sharia law on parts of Britain, it was claimed today.

Other targets of the 'Talibanesque thugs', being investigated by police in the Tower Hamlets area of London, include homosexuals.

Stickers have been plastered on public walls stating: 'Gay free zone. Verily Allah is severe in punishment'.

Posters for H&M which feature women in bikinis and a racy poster for a Bollywood film have been defaced.

It is believed Muslim extremists are behind a spate of attacks being investigated by police, according to the Sunday Times.

An Asian woman who works in a pharmacy in east London was told to dress more modestly and wear a veil or the shop would be boycotted.

When she went to the media to talk about the abuse she suffered, a man later entered the pharmacy and told her: 'If you keep doing these things, we are going to kill you'.

The 31-year-old, who is not a practising Muslim, said she has since been told to take holiday by the pharmacy owners and now fears she may lose her job.

She said: 'Why should I wear a hijab (headscarf) or burqa? I haven't done anything wrong.'...

who would ever have believed that these events could happen in England?

Greg Mortenson of "Three Cups of Tea" fame and let's-build-a-girls'-school-to-fight-the-Taliban advocate busted as fake by author Jon Krakauer on CBS "60 Minutes"? Here's the link:

http://www.cnn.com/2011/SHOWBIZ/04/17/three.cups.of.tea.controversy/index.html?hpt=C1

Mortenson's books and his Central Asia Institute build schools for girls in Pakistan and Afghanistan on the theory that "books not bombs" is the way to fight the Taliban and has posed for photos with Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Admiral Mike Mullen at the opening of a girls' school (presumeably built by US military personnel?). Mortenson denies Krakauer assertions that much of Mortenson's best-selling book was made up.

Off Topic Off Topic
Hello Robert Spencer:
It is time for counterattack---definitely in “terms” and perhaps even image. The enemies have been using their own terms for too long to frame this existential battle. It puts you at an initial disadvantage as you have to counter the smear which takes up precious airtime. For example, to the charge of being an extremist, counter with, “I am a radical”. To the charge of being an islamophobe, counter with, “I am an islamloathe”. N.B. Being an islamophobe is only one aspect of being an islamoloathe and one which is well-proven by mentioning Theo Van Gogh. When appropriate, make this bold statement: The West is revolutionary; Islam is devolutionary.
On image, perhaps consider this the next time you debate an islamolobe. Rather than a tie, wear an ascot like this: http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=ascot+tie&view=detail&id=D01F9E75E9EC842A8600004D4E4FF5A8996FC9FC&first=1&FORM=IDFRIR
Perhaps it could have a print, but with a full frontal view, like this: http://www.andevan.com/browseproducts/-Icarus-.html
If the ascot idea has any merit, you could ask the “razor”, aka gravenimage, who is also a first-rate artist/illustrator to do the design.

The West is analog, Islam is digital.
(a summary in seven words of why the two cannot co-exist within the same nation.)

Robert, would you consider wearing a bandanna?

From the title of the article:
"How the 'London Taliban' is targeting women and gays in bid to impose sharia law," from the Daily Mail, April 17"

It would be a pretty dull pride parade if the gays were wearing burquas.

The Daily Mail allowed comments on the article.

Click on the link and read them all. It's very interesting. Lots of intelligent islamosavvy postings.

The British lion is, ever so slowly, waking up and he's starting to growl.

The New English Review also carried this story.

http://www.newenglishreview.org/blog_direct_link.cfm/blog_id/33959

Esmerelda Weatherwax - one must deduce that she has another source of information - provided some extra info on the lady who has been threatened.

"She was born in Bangladesh, is an atheist married to a Christian and her employer is Hindu. She describes the threats as jihad."

In other words, this woman, who has defected from the Ummah and happily assimilated into British society, is in trouble with the sharia pushers not just because she refuses to wear the Slave Rag, but worse, because she is a. an apostate punishable by death) and b. married to a non-Muslim (also against sharia).

Among the comments there are a couple that speak, from local knowledge, of what the sharia-pushers have already been up to in that part of London, to wit:

"..it's ['it' being Muslim bullying of women to force them to 'cover' - dda] been going on since the late 90's,

also attacking young white girls for wearing mini skirts,

and fire bombing pubs to force them to close, to name but a few of their other activities,

it's a completely decayed and rotten borough and the local council is nasty, mendacious and INEPT on a grand scale, and don't even mention corruption!!!!

frankly its a great place to corral the talibanesque thugs they are welcome to Tower Hamlets.............

even though i was born and raised there i am glad i got out it's a festering hell-hole!!!
- Alan Cornwell, London, GB., 17/4/2011

And another:


"I live near here, and it is no surprise. It is not only women of Islamic extract that are hassled, i have been spat at, followed, presumably for dressing as I would in any other part of London. Depressingly this isn't news for me... perhaps others may start to listen".
- Elizabeth, London, 17/4/2011 23:48

I have made a full copy of this article and tucked it away in the e-clippings file that I devote to the subject of the burqa.

This is a good one to throw at anybody who wants to try to pretend that all Muslim women wear the Slave Rag of their own free will, out of pure religious devotion, and that no intimidation and threats are involved in the decision making.

Robert already coined the term Islamomaniac to describe Westerners who blather on about Islamophobia. RS is way ahead of you.

One thing not obvious from the story above - are they targeting only Muslim women and gays, or are they now brazen enough to threaten all women & gays? Knowing the Mohammedans, I wouldn't rule it out.

Whoa, that didn't take long, did it?

Next up: How long will it be before lawmakers start to get concerned, and want to "encourage" the populace (the female part of it, anyway) to refrain from offending the poor lambs?

Time to carry out a few deportations I guess. Those making threats, and their entire families want sending back to Pakistan, Bangladesh, Somalia or whatever craphole they or their ancestors came from.

Honestly, I don't see any connection between what I said and islamomaniac.

Time to draw a line in the sand and rid Europe of these monsters. Send them back to their sandpits and let them devour each other. No more aid, no more military protection, just a willingness to ignore them and let them destroy each other. And those who condone muslim antics should be shunned and take lessons on the evils and pitfalls of this religion that destroys all human will.

Pokermutt....my dog and cat occasionally wear bandanas!

The UK will never pass a law banning the burka - they are far too dhimmified.They need a leader the likes of a Churchill to restore their balls. But they didn't listen to him until it was too late.

This should be a lesson to all the fools who comfort themselves with the thought that since most Muslims are "moderate" in any given scenario for any given location in the West, things cannot get too bad.

The militant Muslims will always intimidate the moderates and come to dominate accordingly.

It's the minority militants that ultimately count, not the moderates, who will be cowered. Thus our spineless sell-out politicians will allow this domination to occur by not limiting Muslim immigration and the political influence of the stealth jihad militants while at the same time assuring the dumb public that they are not to worry since most Muslims are peaceful and moderate.

Hello DogWithoutSlippers:
We have something in common!
Seriously though, a tie with an Icarus design would also suit me well. A picture's woth a thousand words.

Gee, poor poor Allah, so weak he must get deluded men to carry out his supposed laws. The stupid pig should be able to do it for itself. So why bother with getting puny humans to do it unless he is Satanic in nature and somehow feeds on the deaths, pain, and destruction like some fantastic parasite.

Sadly, it makes his followers deadly dangerous. This is true even of moderate Muslims in name only. They get a dose of the Qur'an and suddenly they're trying to kill everybody.

{^_^}

Islam is so small.....obsessed with earthly matters and observing irrelevancies, in order to keep its cowed, brainwashed flock, malleable.

In dar-islam sections of London, a "kafir" dare not sit beside a burqa-hag.

The Burqa isn't worn by Hui women at all, anyone suggesting that all muslim women wear it is high on delusional fantasy.

Hui women either wear Hijab or nothing at all on the head, General Bai Chongxi, president of the Chinese Muslim Association, allowed his wife and daughters to be photographed without any Hijab at all.

your proapganda would not fly well in china or taiwan, where most people know the truth about Hui women since they can SEE THEM with their OWN EYES.

To Spirit of 1683 & Canto28:

Yes, I'm one of the naive guys who now finds this true, especially after working several years in Saudi Arabia, the source of Islam.

Generally when you show the average Saudi respect and kindness, you are in fact showing weakness and inferiority - giving the green light to be treated as an inferior - to be 'dominated'. This may be an extension of their stark, ruthless cutural / historical background. Arabs from neighboring countries have often commented on this.

The average westerner of course expects kindness and respect to be returned, and is surprised when it isn't. Of course, all cultures have their negative 'traits' but there seems to be an oversupply of aloof, evasive elusive individuals in Saudi Arabia. I did particularly note (from my own experience at least) that Saudis can change their loyalties from moment to moment - and that they rarely admitted a mistake when making one - perhaps to do so is a sign of weakness.

The Koran, and the conceived object of worship, Allah, embody all these traits; both are an extension of the norms, conventions, culture and character of the people in the region.

Hence the need to obey Allah - to get on all fours and bow repeatedly- Allah the master and believers the slaves. So, to state the obvious, it's not a matter of one's life being enhanced for the better when putting faith in the Koran and Allah - it's simply a matter of "You aknowledge Allah as your master, or else".

[Somehow, along the line, through delusions of the mind, Allah's resolve to enforce his will, his power, his armies, his desire to dominate,to destroy enemies, to subdue etc have been equated as 'compassion & virtue'].

This seems to be the mindset behind the enforced imposition of Islam in the West...and this 'wear a veil or else' etc seems to be just another example of this mentality.

In the absence of any proven, concrete existence of Allah, (the lives of millions of practicing Muslims have hardly been blessed, at the personal or societal level..the lives of militant Muslims have hardly been endowed with virtue and compassion, Allah has not presented himself and access to him is via appointed clerics, Mullahs etc) it seems the more militant Muslims are driven to act through a complex interplay of anger (at having devoted themselves obsessionally to unatural religious practice through thick and thin when the 'merits of practice' have not been realized) deprivation (through the outlawing of social, sporting, intellectual activities etc), envy (at seeing how westerners can become happy & prosperous without Allah's permission)deluded thinking,(from incessant religious practice) and to some extent arrogance, whereby they must prove in one way or another that they are superior.

Of course, thinking that the west is somehow responsible for the state of life they themselves have created, there must be an element of revenge residing there as well.

As mentioned in one of the earlier threads, pandering to them simply gives them the go ahead - the sign of weakness, submission.

The prime point I guess, is that there is no intervention of any Holy presence figuring in any of this. It is purely human behaviour, and behaviour at its lowest ebb. The attrocities committed against innocent lives is the reality, not the violation of the will of any conceived Allah, which ultimately has no substance at the level of phenomena.

There is no honour killing - just killing. There is no killing in the name of Allah..just killing. Has everyone become blind to this fact I wonder.

It's interesting to note what might happen if Islam is finally spread throughout the world.
I suspect everyone would not be living in peace and harmony as possibly expected, if everyone was regarded as equals. The militant Muslim would no longer have a purpose, to impose his will on another. His function is to dominate and subdue... and when all have been dominated and subdued, I suspect he will not feel fulfilled until he finds others to dominate and subdue. Whilst there is opposition, they have a role to play...once the opposition succumbs, then what. I suspect new branches, sects, factions etc would break free which would be regarded as being superior to others. To show superiority, one needs those considered inferior. Maybe the mission of worlwide domination of islam will bring about its own downfall, its own defeat.

In the photo accompying the article I noticed that Muslimahs were wearing headscarfs with colorful prints. There are websites that offer to print custom designs on the fabric of your choice. I wonder what the London Muzzies would think of one fashioned with quotes from the Koran and the Hadith concerning women? Say, women's testimony being worth half a man's, being deficient in intellect, wife beating, and so on. You could fill a burqa's worth of quotes, in a field of Islamic green dotted with the crescent moons and stars. Put them in their place with some stylish lace. Think the pharmacy would bring her back from holiday having met their demands sporting this garb? I would be willing to design the print in Adobe Illustrator, pay for the cost of the print, and fashioning it into a scarf, but need a little help compiling the quotes. Don't want to leave anything out. I have seen lists but they only scratch the surface.

the UK cops should go undercover, dressed as gays, and take care of the attacks on them. women cops should dress casually and wait for something to happen to them. I say make arrests and deport the slimeballs to afstinkestan

great idea but I think the wearer would suffer the sword of islam. but what a wonderful concept.

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

Why don't you take it up with your homicidal coreligionists in the "London Taliban" misguidedly threatening your Muslim sisters?

I'm sure they'd be glad to hear just how they are "misunderstanding" Islam from a devout brother such as yourself...

in his previous comment, gravenimage mentioned "western" China

"western" china.

more proof that gravenimage doesn't know cow **** about muslims in China.

hui people live ALL OVER China, including the eastern coastal provinces. There is a mosque in beijing, in northeast china, the Niujie Mosque, there are mosques in Fuzhou, on the southeast coast, there are mosques in Nanjing, in the east, several imporant Hui scholars came from Nanjing and the eastern regions, where they wrote extensively on Islamic and Confucian literature, they were the backbone, being the most extensively educated, the west is viewed as the backwater of China

General Bai Chongxi himself was from the SOUTHEASTERN province of Guangxi, where many other hui people live.
