Muslim Council of Britain fuming over mosque documentary

We noted last week that documentary footage of jihadist preaching inside British mosques would soon air in Britain -- and it's airing tonight. But oddly enough, the Muslim Council of Britain, the "moderate" group, is unhappy. You would think that a group of moderate Muslims would be cheering the exposure of jihad sympathizers among them, but they're instead sounding all the familiar themes of selective quotation, etc. etc. etc. But you know, in most circumstances, no matter how selectively one quotes not much can be made of the result.

"TV documentary accused of misrepresenting UK Muslims," from Arabic News (thanks to Doc Washburn):

The Muslim Council of Britain (MCB) is accusing Channel Four commercial channel of attempting to foment division and sectarianism among Britain's 1.8 million Muslim community.

A documentary, being screened Monday, goes undercover at mosques to find what it in its advance publicity are "preachers condemning integration into British society, condemning democracy and praising the Taliban for killing British soldiers." MCB said the Dispatches program "mischievously tried to prove that key Muslim institutions are teaching the exact opposite to Islam commanding Muslims to deal positively and peacefully with those around us."

The producers were "resorting to the dishonest tactic of selectively quoting from some recorded speeches for the purpose of misrepresentation," MCB secretary general Abdul Bari said.

"Their aim is to attach guilt by association. This continuing demonization of British Muslims and the risible attempt at promoting sectarianism among British Muslims will be firmly rejected," Bari said.

Fomenting disunity? Boo hoo. These idiots are quite capable of turning on each other for doctrinal reasons-nobody from the outside needs to foment anything. More paranoia from the cult of death.

This needs to be done in the U.S. If you want to fight terrorism, use your cell phones to record U.S. mosque immams. Make these tapes. Encourage Glenn Beck, or Fox News or others to obtain tapes. It will be more effective to show Islamo Fascism with a camcorder in these temples of deceit, than to invoke 800 pages of Congressional hearings on the lies and hate distributed in 80% of U.S. mosques against infidels. Let's catch these scum in flagrant delicto! This will do much to help the cause of warning people about Jihad. Man the watch. Protect your family. Record immam sermons in your neighborhood today!

More Islamophobia by Channel 4. Why don't they do an expose of my local Evangelical Church down our road that I recently visited. The pastor roused the masses into a braying hysteria calling for some persons blood. One guy in the audience started speaking in tongues, though I'm sure it was in arabic. A translator said something to the effect of 'I have not come to make peace' and divide people with a two-edged sword. That's bad why don't they ever report this?

Posted by: western infidel [TypeKey Profile Page] at January 15, 2007 7:57 AM

If an Imam, his beard agitated in a cloud of static electricity, eyes glazed, head towel sweated through with anger sweat, calls out from the pulpit to condemn democracy...

... ain't that enough context to know what he meant? And, if it ain't, how about taking a gander at the Islamic scriptures Moslems observe?

That'll let ya know what what they think about democracy and freedom, not only the agitated electrical glazed sweaty Imam, but all Moslems, right down to MCB secretary general Abdul Bari said.

Secretary general?! The Abdul part is hard enough on me, but General?

MCB said the Dispatches program "mischievously tried to prove that key Muslim institutions are teaching the exact opposite to Islam commanding Muslims to deal positively and peacefully with those around us."

Define "positively" and "peacefully" in Islamic terms.

"The producers were "resorting to the dishonest tactic of selectively quoting from some recorded speeches for the purpose of misrepresentation," MCB secretary general Abdul Bari said."

Even if there were only one such quote, that would be cause for concern. The fact is that the undercover recording, like countless other undercover recordings of this type made in mosques in western countries around the world, reveal that such hateful and treasonous comments are the norm, not the exception.

That said, Channel Four should defend itself by responding publicly to the MCB, refuting them in detail, point-by-point. It should be possible to score and analyze the contents of the transcripts, in order to determine the relative percentages of quotations of various kinds--e.g., misogynistic, treasonous, Islamic imperialist, Infidelophobic, etc. Then compare those percentages with the percentage of quotations that fit into the "be peaceful and positive toward non-Muslims" category (I'm guessing less than 5% of the total). Also find the percentage of imams recorded who made at least one quote fitting the misogynistic, or imperialist, or treasonous, or whatever negative statement, category. Then report the results to the public, in a widely-published rebuttal to the MCB claims.

1. If clerics never said such things, they'd never be recorded saying them.

2. "mischievously tried to prove that key Muslim institutions are teaching the exact opposite to Islam commanding Muslims to deal positively and peacefully with those around us."

My concern about this presentation is that no one will demand that the MCB and other Muslims cite those passages of Qur'an and Sunnah which refute what the clerics have said. It's one thing to parrot the 'they're un-Islamic' mantra; it's another to prove it.

So prove it.

"TV documentary accused of misrepresenting UK Muslims,"

So far, everything I've read about channel 4s research has failed to say anything about worshipers in these Mosques storming out in protest at what these Imans were preaching.

I suspect that what these hate-mongers were preaching was music to the ears of members of the congregation. Of course the congregants would be described by the mainstream British and American press as the "peaceful, moderate" Muslims we hear so much about. No, They don't throw bombs into subway sations or crowded buses; they just encourage hateful Imans to encourage others to commit such murderous acts.

No, no ones misrepresenting UK Muslims. If they sit through the kind of sermons channel 4 reported on, and don't protest, if they give their financial support to a Mosque that invites these kind of men to preach at their services, UK Muslims are as guilty of murder as any terrorist.
Period.

risible attempt?

nothing AMUSING about it! Face it, you've been caught out.

promoting sectarianism? WHICH muslim 'group' would you say Channel 4 is promoting? They are all the same......deceptive and destructive.

My my....their HATE has been exposed. Much like their hate for Israel and their determination NEVER to live peacefully beside them. Hopefully this will wake up the idiots (socialist groups and so-called 'christian' groups) that march with them in London, etc.

Let this be a wake up call to everyone in the West. Islam is NOT a religion of peace and you cannot trust ANY of them since lying is acceptable to them.

When such teaching is taught, the mosques need to be shut down and their preachers deported.

If Muslims do not wish to integrate into the west and live under the laws in the West, deport them back to the ME.

Muslims....if people in the West want to live under sharia law, they can move to the ME.

Now if I am right that makes a Murderer and a Terrorist Bomb maker both using the Burka to escape through UK immgration recently God knows how many more of them like dressing in drag to commit crimes. Do the MCB still uphold the inaleienable rights of Mohammedan women to wear this NON religious batman outfit. Whats more how much longer can the PC MultiCulti Treehuggers and the Labour Party continue to deny the obvious and BAN THE BURKA NOW.

Yet again Channel 4 delves in the depths of Islamophobia. All the Abrahimic religions condemn homosexuality as a major sin. When are you going to send undercover reporters to synagogues and churches and ask their views on taboo issues? I won't hold by breath on that ever happening.

This programme further stereotypes the Muslim community. It seems to highlight ill conceived ideas of few "so called muslims" as Islam, which is completely false. In the interest of social harmony, I strongly urge C4 to make and air programmes that capture the essence of Islam, i.e. Peace, Tolerence and Harmony with everyone, irrespective of their religion, race, sex or colour.

I am a muslim living in the UK, and I strongly feel that Dispatches on this particularly issue should not have been shown, as I feel this is just more propaganda against the muslims living in the UK, and will only accumulate more hatred and racism towards muslims. I go to mosques, including Green Lane Mosque, and have seen no such thing as teaching religious hatred there.

Please explain to me exactly what your agenda is? When someone goes undercover that in itself implies you are looking for mischief either one that is genuine or if not taken out of context and presented as such. You must realise the repurcussions of your actions result in a paranoid society which turns and attacks the vulnurable.

Islam is a religion of peace and tolerance and perhaps Channel 4 like others do not see the positive activites of UKIM and others for promoting inter-faith integration. Events like Mosque open days, Islam Taster days,Islam Awareness week, hospital visits, school visits and other community initiatives do not even get mentioned anywhere in the media. What did Channel 4 do against the undercover activities of BNP last year?

Channel 4 typically leans Left anyway.

I'm sure they would have loved to report that these fiery imams were preaching to empty pews, with the mosques nearly empty, because most Muslims had refused to attend their sermons. But since they didn't, we can infer those mosques were full of Muslims sitting there, nodding, passively absorbing this hate right into their brains.

Archimedes posted an excellent idea about getting a transcript of a mosque "sermon" and analyzing it -- researchers use "content analysis" all the time. Someone could even do a comparative analysis from another religion so as to highlight the differences. (Frankly, after viewing "sermons" recorded inside mosques -- from organizations such as MEMRI -- there seems to be very, very little by way of "ethical content" in what's preached at mosques. I don't hear exhortations for the betterment of the human condition -- just lots of "kill the infidel!")

A similar story from Rome (circa 2003) about the mosque in Rome -- the largest mosque in Europe. An Italian Muslim (Magdi Allam, vetted by Hugh Fitzgerald *) who knows Arabic attended a particular sermon, of June 6, 2003, and reported what he heard for the Italian newspaper "La Repubblica".

Typical exhortations made by the Imam that day were the following:

"O Allah, grant victory to the Islamic fighters in Palestine, Chechnya, and elsewhere in the world! O Allah, destroy the homes of the enemies of Islam! O Allah, help us to annihilate the enemies of Islam! O Allah, make firm everywhere the voice of the nation of Islam!"

The Imam was also interviewed by Magdi Allam, who asked him about the terrorists who blow themselves up in order to kill Jews, to which the Imam responded:

"From the Islamic point of view, there is no doubt that the operations by the mujahidin against the Jews in Palestine are legitimate. They are acts of martyrdom, and their authors are martyrs for Islam, because all of Palestine is a ´Dar al-Harb,´ a war zone; because all of Jewish society is illegally occupying a Muslim land."

The imam of the Rome mosque [was] Abdel-Samie Mahmoud Ibrahim Moussa, 32, an Egyptian. He doesn´t understand Italian, and speaks Arabic with a Nile delta accent. Magdi Allam wrote, in a second article for "La Repubblica" on June 8:

"He is the true product of a culture and an ideology that now dominate the Muslim university of Al Azhar, a sort of Vatican of Sunni Islam. But his is by no means an isolated case. Other Muslim spokesmen in Italy, linked with the Muslim Brotherhood and with radical currents of thought, have communicated their understanding and solidarity to the imam of Rome. The real problem is that most mosques are occupied by fundamentalist international networks. [...] The previous imam of the Rome mosque, sheikh Mahmoud Hammad Sheweita, feared for his bodily safety when he condemned the suicide attacks, thereby aligning himself against believers with radical tendencies.

http://www.chiesa.espressonline.it/dettaglio.jsp?id=6953&eng=y

* [Hugh Fitzgerald wrote back in 2004:] "...the brilliantly acute Magdi Allam (a kind of Italian version of Fouad Ajami). He, and others like him, who speak and write from their own experiences within the world of Islam, are valuable allies in Europe against the Jihad, and if the American government has any sense, it will promote the works and careers of such people."

Arabic News needs a good translator. The above two sentences are incomprehensible. They're run-on sentences lacking proper punctuation. It was hard to know what they were complaining about. The second sentence makes it sound like key institutions were teaching the opposite of Islam, that commanding Muslims to deal positively with the world around them was not Islamic.
Of course that wasn't what they meant, but that's why they need a better translator.

Guilt by association is exactly what they attach to everyone who isn't a Muslim and who supports the freedom of the state of Israel. Muslims who work with Westerners are considered not good Muslims BECAUSE they associate with infidels.

It was called 24. Typical hollywood stuff about terrorists attacking here in the US (and we know that will never happen).

Pretty typical except for the point that the nice little Muslim Teenager across the street is probably a Jihadist.
My husband said "I'm suprised that Muslim watchdog bunch let them air this!

Then, I interpret that sentence as meaning that these key muslim institutions teach an iSlam that commands muslims to deal positively and peacefully with those around them.

So they will have no trouble answering all your emails asking them where in the koran it promotes this tolerant behaviour...

My husband said "I'm suprised that Muslim watchdog bunch let them air this!

That was probably a re-run of a 24 thread from season before last.

If I'm right (i.e., that what you saw is not part of the new 24 season), what happened was that CAIR did complain and level threats, the network folded, and the series star, Keifer Sutherland, gave a tearful apology during a special intro a couple of episodes later.

By the season's end, the Moslem activists (aka, the terrorists) were promptly replaced by a blond haired blue eyed former US military guy withi a grudge against the USA. He's the one who... whoops, don't wanna give away the season's denouement.

Your husband is a wise man.

For my part, since turning off my TV on Keifer's tearful face, I haven't watched 24 since.

If you want to have fun next time at the bookstores go grab a copy of the koran and put some of them in the occult sections, than some in the crime sections, and others in the witchcraft aisle.
I put some next to the nudie mags areas.
Muslims will love it.

"Moderate Muslims" are the enablers of the militant Muslims. They take part in the demographic Jihad and support the militants via phony charities and being an anti-American population to blend into, to hide in. Just look at the stupid Somalis in Minnesota demonstrating in support of the Jihad armies in Somalia

Muslims are the worst possible immigrants. They will always be dissidents and form a fifth column because their loyalty is to the Ummah. Not to the USA, Canada, Australia or any European nation they worm their way into

Well at least this UK news group went undercover to "record" the news as is. Why weren't all these Moslems protesting when the BBC went undercover to gather news on the BNP and then use that gathered news to prosecute Nick Griffin? How would they like it if these clerics were tried for promoting hate and sedition against Britain.

In America the news boys do it differently. They place Moslems at NASCAR venues in attempting to "create" the news that mainstream Americans are nothing more thAn bigoted rednecks. Moslems must only be presented in the MSM as peace loving folks who have been misunderstood.

Islamacists love the self-congratulatory attitude westerners have about their tolerance for migration and how they constantly reassure themselves that most Muslims are “moderate”. This allows so much of this stealth Jihad in our midst to continue while cries of “racism” & “Islamophobia” result when anyone points it out. But despite any ranting about this Muslim figure their immigration & fertility rate will win for them in the long run – unless there are severe restrictions on Muslim immigration.
THIS IS WHAT IS NEEDED:
SEVERE RESTRICTIONS ON MUSLIM IMMIGRATION – NOTHING ELSE REALLY MATTERS IN THE LONG RUN.

British people not afflicted with suicidal naiveté ought to be screaming at their politicians for this – or bringing in a party that will act decisively on this issue.

awake, Beck's comments (thanks for the link) confirm my thoughts. If Beck is speaking out only against extremists (although he is missing the bigger picture, I agree with you), and for that CAIR wants to silence him then CAIR = Pro-Extremism! Their true colors shine now.
Posted by: sounder


Beck may be doing what he feels he can - I mean he is always one show away from being fired.

What he's been doing so far is drawing reactions from the vermin.

He needs to be the levelheaded one - not them. THEY enjoy cover courtesy of our very own MSMedia.

You can't go on TV and have a show that would reflect what Robert and Hugh are saying here - much less what some of us others are saying.

Just like the Pope. And he said practically nothing and look at the reaction he drew. The enemy knows who among us has influence and they castigate and persecute us accordingly.

Beck has to stay just enough under the radar where he doesn't draw all the flak. This is the first time EVER I've heard of islam being discussed that honestly on ANY TV or cable media outlet.

On the other hand he has to say enough to be credible for folks like us or his show is useless. I tend to give him a chance and let's see where he is in a year from now.

He does noone any good sipping lemonade on a beach somewhere staring at the ocean... a pink slip in his hand.

MeanieMo,

Well, I hope you are right, but I don't think he will prove to of any value in the war against Islam. Read the transcript I attached. He framed his opinion like this was HIS big decision, contrary to the better judgement of his producers. If CAIR is already trying to silence him and his opinion that radical Islamists are the minority exception, not the majority rule of "moderate" Muslims, just how long can he stay under the radar??

I didn't want to spoil the "surprise" ending of this season of 24, but APF has already let the cat out of the bag.

Prepare to be "shocked" when it turns out that, instead of Muslims, the terrorists are evil (vaguely Christian?) white men who mischeiviously laid a trail of evidence to frame the innocent and peace-loving Muslims. Isn't that a mind-blower? Bet you've never seen that plot device before.

The Muslim bomber shouted "Allahu Akbar!" before detonating? Are you sure? Maybe it was a holographic image superimposed over his face, or an undetectable latex mask, and a recorded message, meant to throw the investigators off the trail. Maybe the evil (vaguely Christian?) white men kidnapped his family and made him do it. Or maybe it was a mass hallucination through some aerosol pharmacological agent, or some sort of brain-wave transmitter, that placed the idea in the witnesses minds that they saw a Muslim yelling "Allahu Akbar". Cause that's the sort of thing we evil (vaguely Christian?) white men do in our free time.

Sorry, didn't mean to spoil the "surprise".

I'm not sure why Glenn Beck seems to get bad press from many people. His show, at times, is a breathe of fresh air. (he needs to drop that: I'm only a rodeo clown bit) If people are expecting to see a hour long (Mon-Fri) show on Islamic terrorists --done without any apologies-- then I don't think you are ever going to see one.

I'm sure he gets it, but his show must have some restrictions place on it by management who must answer to those buying commercial time regardless of what he has stated.

Yes, I read the posted transcript (actually saw the show) - and quite frankly I can live with that if that keeps him on the air broadcasting these type segments.

Did anyone see his hour long show called "Exposed: The Extreme Agenda?"

Alas, years spent in Saudi have taught me that for Wahabi and like-minded Muslims, words mean what they want them to mean at the time. If they say somthing, it's true then. So it is quite possible for them to preach hatred and Jihad, call Jews pigs and call for the death of Christians in a documentary, and then claim they did nothing of the sort, and that they have been misquoted, without any feeling of shame or guilt.

You see-

what a Kuffar says is AUTOMATICALLY untrue.

http://www.mcb.org.uk/article_detail.php?article=announcement-613

From the latest transcript it is clear that Monday's heavily hyped 'Dispatches' is an attempt to forment sectarian divisions among British Muslims and misrepresent some leading UK Muslim institutions, including the Markazi Jamiat Ahl-e-Hadith, the London Islamic Cultural Centre and the UK Islamic Mission.
“Islam commands Muslims to deal positively and peacefully with those around us. These transcripts show that the programme makers have mischievously tried to prove that key Muslim institutions are teaching the exact opposite by resorting to the dishonest tactic of selectively quoting from some recorded speeches for the purpose of misrepresentation. Their aim is to attach guilt by association. This continuing demonisation of British Muslims and the risible attempt at promoting sectarianism among British Muslims will be firmly rejected,” said Dr Muhammad Abdul Bari, Secretary-General of the Muslim Council of Britain.
At the same time, the Muslim Council of Britain urges all Muslim institutions to be vigilant and ensure that their premises are not allowed to be abused by those who are intent on pursuing divisive agendas. Unacceptable and inflammatory language can never be accepted from Muslim speakers either during talks or on recorded DVDs. It is vital that the sanctity of mosques and Islamic centres is maintained at all times and an Islamic code of conduct upheld.

In other words..."damn , weve bin rumbled!"

Posted by: aladdinsane57 [TypeKey Profile Page] at January 15, 2007 4:30 PM

C4's Dispatches program was'nt too far from the usual dhimmi rubbish.

1) It was portrayed as the usual tiny minority of extremists (although far from as vehemently as normal)

2) They failed to tie anything asserted by the preachers to Islamic texts, the views of the preachers were simply portrayed as their own personal views. Their views on women/ homosexuals/ kuffars/ supremacism/ sharia etc etc were the sorts of things we see on this site everyday, so why is it people like Robert Spencer can tie these views heavily into Islamic texts, and C4 can't (won't)?

But still, far more enlightening than the usual R.O.P crap.

This, in my humble opinion, is one of the fundamental flaws of the right's strategy. Its all or nothing attitude. You simply are not going to change those opposing opinions by constantly beating them over the head. The way I see the path is to feed them bite size pieces.

These zombies just hate it when the truth comes out.The funny part is that all you have to do is look and listen and they will provide all the truth you need.

Any zombie that opens thier mouths and utters a word can be seen through,they aren't even bright enough to lie well.

The only thing i agree with zombies on is that islam is the answer,however we differ in how it is the answer.They see it as solving the worlds woes ( how still escapes me ),i on the other hand feel that once it is decimated and obliterated into nothingness the world will be a far brighter and better place.

As far as the "brave heroes" of islam go ,we are still waiting to go to the next level.Stop the yaking and go for the gold there are those that tire of waiting.The end of islam is soon to be at an end.

An islamic empire is just a zombie pipedream,put down the crack pipes and join the rest of humanity in reality before your castles in the sky come crashing to the earth.

Also to the iranian windbags ...SHUT UP!
People complain that the west has lost it's credibility well the iranian regime has never had one "iota" of any.

Notice i used imanutajobas' (iranian pres.)favorite word "iota",he likes to use that little atomic word a lot,doesn't he?

Can somebody tell me, please, why we have decided as a civilization to commit suicide? I don't want to go, but there are others among us who are running headlong with scizzors, who are playing with poison and who rival the emperor with no clothes on for denial about what is actually going on here. We are being bested by a group that's only claim to fame is that they know how to die and they know how to use our laws and rules to make mischief and validate their victimhood? Its an embarassment.

Look at what happened in Somalia in the past couple of weeks. The cowards couldn't take it so they folded like a house of cards and high tailed it outta' there. Are we actually going to stand by, in countries that have had the highest standard of living for the most people in the history of the world and cave in to a bunch of drooling neanderthals who count hatred and control as the virtues of all virtues? The hell you say.

It is time to forget our manners and tell the truth when some useful idiot goes into their trance and recites the "Islam is a religion of peace" mantra. Time to embarass them and stop them in their tracks. Ask them where it says that in the Koran; ask them when and how much of the Koran they've read; ask them why they think Islam is a religion of peace when girls are being kidnapped and forced to convert in Egypt, when girls are being murdered by their brothers for going to school in the UK or Germany, when girls are being circumcised in the United States, all sanctioned by the Koran. Show them the video from You Tube of Jihad 101, you know, the one where guys are beating themselves on the heads with swords and blood is everywhere, where Islamists are pushing their own people, blindfolded and hands tied behind their backs, off 2-story buildings, where you can watch a slow slicing through some poor guys neck as he is having his head cut off, while another man sits on his back to hold him down. Again, all sanctioned by the Koran. You know, the Koran, the holy book for the religion of peace?

Have we lost our fucking minds? Say no to this, often and loudly. And push aside any brainwashed automaton who gets in the way with their religion of peace speeches. We don't have time to argue with them. We've got this year to nip CAIR in the bud or we will have no rest, not for the rest of my life, anyway.

"Can somebody tell me, please, why we have decided as a civilization to commit suicide?"

Why are Jihad Watchers still asking this question? Are you all blind to the forest for the trees? Do you think the Western world must think like you guys do? Do you think PC is just a passing fancy, an abnormal crotchet, a scum of the cream of elites on top of a vast kettle of ordinary healthy milk being suppressed from cooking normally and contributing to the meal, suppressed by dastardly elitist chefs ?

I am more amazed at the myopia of Jihad Watchers as they periodically bump into the gigantic furniture of PC and scratch their heads and shake their fists at invisible "elites", than I am at that gigantic furniture itself and its long-standing intrusion on our living room -- and the millions of ordinary couch potatoes who have bought it and accomodated themselves to it for over two generations now.

Remember what PC does to the Problem of Islam: it effectively and effortlessly detaches

1) Islam + the vast majority of Muslims

from

2) any bad things that come out of Islam.

Once this surgical mechanism is in place, it doesn't matter how much bad stuff comes out of Islam, since it will always be only an "extremist minority" causing it, whose motives are unrelated to Islam itself + the vast majority of Muslims. This mechanism is the norm in the West.

You Jihad Watchers instantly make the connection between bad stuff coming out of Islam, and Islam itself + the vast majority of Muslims. No such connection is possible, no such connection is thinkable, for the vast majority of Westerners, as long as PC rules the brainwaves.

Webler,

The first thing for the 'Beck's' of the world to do is to quit presenting people with my point of view as fearful bigots and to instead confront 'them' with the facts.

His presentation, in that video, perpetuates the myth of 'good' Islam, and I have no reason to believe that he doesn't believe that himself.

I was initially awed by his forthright presentations concerning Islam, and I used to think that 'bite size pieces' was the way to go, too. But, no more.

If there had been no large-scale Muslim immigration in the first place, Ellison would likely not be a Muslim. Beck doesn't 'get it' and is misstating the issue. He's also clueless about Qur'an 5:44 and 5:45 and why Ellison's little stunt is merely a continuation of his personal hypocrisy.

I could go on.

Sorry, but you and I will have to agree to disagree.

Posted by: PRCS [TypeKey Profile Page] at January 15, 2007 6:36 PM

Remote Control,

I don't know who you think you are talking to. The myopia is not with Jihad Watchers. Jihad Watchers have successfully risen above the PC B.S. to see the forest for the trees. We are not the ones who don't "get it".

We are not the ones who voted for a PC culture. But we are the ones that are left to try and defend against this insanity and combat it effectively while being undermined at every turn.

It is interesting to note that as Christianity has receded in the western world, the PC mentality has blossomed and flourished. And now where Christianity is less Islam is becoming more and more. Was that by design or just a huge unforeseen accident when we threw the baby out with the bathwater? Yeah, I didn't think so.

This show appears not to be the same that is described in this web-log. I was not impressed much that the British journalist John Snow didn't dig deep into the subject. He should have really compared the British Muslims to what's described in the Koran. They ain’t different.

It is also interesting that he showed BMs what appears to be on high moral grounds compare to the British way of life. I guess he ought to have done some digging and he should have been showing how sexually pervert these people really are and follow an original pervert called Mohamad. He should have showed the very high percentage of hits on pervert sexual internet sites are scored in the Muslim countries compare to the free world.

One point that he made clear Muslims and Western way of life are two very different and follow conflicting paths. Hence whether we like it or not, we have invited a monstrous of a religion which is here to stay to fight us and destroy us till the eternity.

Which is one of the top academic institutions in the UK. It's good to know that they sought the opinions of "experts" on the RoP.

I hate to be a fatalist, but these days, I think that the best thing to come out of all these would be major terrorist attacks that would take out as many of these dhimmis/useful idiots as possible - and I dont care where. I never thought I'd root for terror to be successful, but I am past the point where I'd say God forbid. Reason: I no longer see how the PC desease can be eradicated without another major attack, on the magnitude of 9/11, but this time taking place and downing as many political and media leaders and PC denizens with it, and not just here, but worldwide. The backlash that would then result would hopefully be unprecedented.

If that doesn't happen, we might as well have a betting pool on when the entire world would go Islamic. My bet - 2050.

Infidel Pride,

Unfortunately, you are probably correct. When cancer metastasizes over a large part of the body, many times it takes invasive surgery to get rid of it. We are at a point now where the PC thing as well as the Islamic thing are way out of control.

The link from white elephant at 5:41pm is sobering in uncovering the thought process of British Muslims. It is mostly the young Islamists who embrace what they call religion but what we would call radicalism. They use the British University system to get an education and THEN embrace radical Islam. The thing that gets me, and this is a separate issue as to whether the PC tone of our society lets them get away with it, is that they believe they have all the answers, they believe they know what is best for all of us and they believe that because they think they are right, they have the right AS WELL AS THE OBLIGATION to enforce their beliefs on the rest of us. I think this is an important distinction because I couldn't get why someone who has lived in a country that enforces and brutalizes the people with Sharia law would come to a safe place and then try and recreate that same oppression that they fled. That's not to say that all middle aged Muslims are anti-Sharia. It just makes more sense that young, idealistic Muslims who've never lived under that kind of oppression can delude themselves into thinking it's a wonderful system and that we'd all be better off living with it as the law of the land.

Isabellathecrusader,

"I don't know who you think you are talking to. The myopia is not with Jihad Watchers. Jihad Watchers have successfully risen above the PC B.S. to see the forest for the trees."

There are two different myopias out there:

1) the PC myopia that can't see the Problem of Islam for what it is -- a problem of Islam itself, not of some "extremist minority" unrelated to Islam itself).

2) the Jihad Watcher myopia that can't see the Problem of PC for what it is -- a problem of Western society in general that is

a) long-standing (over 50 years perhaps, with roots going further back)

b) powerful

c) mainstream,

including millions of ordinary people and their unthinking assumptions about what is right and wrong, not merely of some "elite minority" who are going against the grain of some "silent majority" of ordinary people who agree with Jihad Watchers.

Just as Myopia #1 is preventing us from rationally fighting Islam, so also Myopia #2 is increasingly preventing the minority of Jihad Watchers from being able to mount a strategy to rationally dismantle PC. Once PC is out of the way, delimiting and defeating Islam will be a piece of cake. But you can't effectively dismantle something if you don't have an accurate grasp of its actual dimensions.

PRCS

It's not that I'm awed with Glenn Beck's presentations, although I do like some of his segments quite a bit -- it's that I am able to see them at all (on Headline News no less). At one time these would not have see the light of day. It may be a small step, but never-the-less, I think it is a step in the right direction.

The idea that 'we' are going to be able to convince over 1 billion Muslims that Islam is a political ideology is never --in a thousand life times-- going to happen. I'm guessing that more than 4/5 of Americans believe that Islam is a 'religion of peace' and trying to force a heavy-handed opinion on them will just create additional resistance.

I think the Islam apologists have dropped dramatically since 9/11 and not to take anything away from these types of forums -- I think the Muslim instigators of hate against the West have made some huge tactical blunders. The cartoon riots showed the main stream masses --even though the reason for it was blamed on Westerners-- that there was a different side to Islam. And the rage over the Pope's comments showed those apologists that even Pope wasn't safe from terrorist threats.

It seemed to me that the constant verbal attacks and life threats against the Pope did more to change some people's minds than the bombings in a few different countries (Spain, UK, etc).

My point is, that people that already post in these type forums, have already formed an opinion as they have looked into Islam and into the Muslim communities in Western Europe and North America. To others --leftists/socialists-- they are so opposed to anything that would actually keep them free to protest -- I don't see anything or anyone changing their minds. It's the mass middle that has to be reached.

No problem, PRCS, with the agreeing to disagree.

Round them up all of them deport them to thier native lands or intern them all of them. They are in our house preaching like this It should be over for Islam in the west.

Okay Remote, I gotcha.

You're right. We've been steeped in PC for a long time. I've posted this before but I remember when I was a teenager in the 70's my mom used to listen to a guy named Dr. Stewart McBerney on the radio in the morning when we were eating breakfast. He warned us back then about this crap and the effects it would have and he was dead on right.

You are also correct about different forms of PC insanity. When I was a kid the United States was still considered a Christian nation, and that wasn't that long ago. I've seen the denial of that fact slathered on pretty heavily at this site, which makes one careful about what one says. But if we're really going to tell the truth, the real or delusional oppression faced by the people of the world or the people at this site because of Christianity is not in anyone's wildest dreams the oppression we face in Islam. But since it is not PC to tell the truth about Christianity or because it makes some people squirm if they are reminded that as a human they are bound to certain obligations based on the natural law that sometimes look like Christian principles, we do get stuck when trying to plan a strategy.

We also have to deal with the rascism B.S. and the stereotyping B.S. Everyone needs to understand that as human beings we are flawed and if certain groups do irritating things and do them on a regular basis, some of us are going to get irritated. It's just a fact of life. We don't have to have a hearing on it every time it happens. And along with nobody promising me a rose garden, nobody promised me that I would never be offended. As a grown up woman, I understand that nobody owes me anything on that account. I do however, expect to be respected and treated with civility, as I (and my mamma) would expect me to treat my fellow man. I do not have a political agenda that involves making my life better at the expense of other peoples' lives. I do, however, have a lot of resentment towards the people who do. That includes Muslims and Politically Correct assholes who want to tell me that they get to treat me like crap because of something my ancestors did 500 years ago!!

That does not include you, Remote, whose posts I've always enjoyed. 'Sorry for getting my feathers ruffled. I've been a little peevish ever since I watched White Elephant's link.

After seeing the excellent Ch4 documentary

Images of hate,
the real deal,
the best of all people
at their most spiritual moments.

What kind of fate
brings a black yank,
a slave to a primitive pedophile
and his bloodthirsty tribal moon god,
a slave whose voice resounds in careful cadence,
whose hands, like a magician's, are never still,
as he instills the seeds of duality
into the believer's hearts and mocks humanity,
whose greatest thrill is killing the kuffar,
while he carries water for the arabs?
Does he know the arabs call him abd?
How bizarre, how strange his fate to me,
a free black man who choses eternal slavery.

Translation from the MCB Muslim:-

'Damn it looks like we have been caught red handed now they know what is being preached in Mosques all over UK. Support for Muslim Terrorists worldwide,mysogyny, Muslim supremacism, death threats and the desire to CONTROL all. But we are sure the Dhimmi Brits will not accept it and the PC,Human Rights,Leftwing Treehuggers will protect us so 'on with the Jihad''

I just watched BOTH of those - the 3 part from today and the 5 part from earlier. If I don't hear some major discussion of this tomorrow I think I will just stop paying attention to this issue. I am that frustrated. It can't be any clearer. If nothing is talked about or done about it with this much video evidence, so the idiots don't even have to read anything, what hope?

And I can't get anyone I know to bother watching or reading links.

There wasn't anything new in those videos for me. It is all in Robert's books.

These links need to go on http://www.DRUDGEreport.com if you want anyone to notice them. All the major U.S. talkers read it.

PS I won't give up just yet.

Watch also I, a muslim (Undercover as a Muslim in Europe at

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ig91au5ccjw&mode=related&search=

Probably this is what most “moderate” Muslims are really like – at least in Europe but probably also everywhere in the West where there numbers are relatively high to the population. Shouldn’t be surprised given what the Koran says and the tendency to interpret it in a fundamentalist way as the Muslim population & political power grow. It’s all enough to convince one that Rep. Virgil Goode’s call for the restriction of Muslim immigration is something to support.

Infidel Pride,

I share your frustration and fatalism on one level, but I think the material contours of your frustration and fatalism are misaligned or misplaced.

"I think that the best thing to come out of all these would be major terrorist attacks that would take out as many of these dhimmis/useful idiots as possible...Reason: I no longer see how the PC desease can be eradicated without another major attack...The backlash that would then result would hopefully be unprecedented."

First of all, I am more pessimistic on one level: the Islamic attacks must have the following qualities to have the effect you note (a "backlash" sufficient to clear away our massive PC impediments):

1) They must be multiple (I don't know how many, but certainly more than one or two)

2) They must occur widely dispersed around the globe

3) They must target many major centers, not just peripheral places

4) They must be far more horrific than 9/11 or any subsequent attacks (Madrid, London, Beslan, Bali, etc.)

5) Most important of all: They must themselves more clearly demonstrate -- or be accompanied by behaviors among Muslims that more clearly demonstrate -- a more general support among worldwide Muslims than has heretofore been the case, capable of disabusing the obstinate masses and elites who are fixated on the PC axiom I have articulated before -- it's not Islam nor the vast majority of Muslims involved, it must be an "extremist minority" with largely non-Islamic motivations and "grievances" (with that particular axiom solidly framed in a larger PC matrix that prejudicially exonerates the Third World while chronically blaming the West for most of the Third World's ills, a matrix dependent upon the incoherent but nevertheless extraordinarily effective ideologies of reverse racism and Western neo-Gnostic self-hatred of, and alientation from, the West).

Without all of these 5 qualities in tandem, I don't think the PC paradigm will be shaken from its dominance in the timely manner that is so exigent now.

Your next statement is where I am less fatalistic:

"If that doesn't happen, we might as well have a betting pool on when the entire world would go Islamic. My bet - 2050."

In my view, if those 5 qualities don't happen, it does not mean we are finished. To think that, one must have a profound alienation from the vast superiority and sophistication of the modern West. What will happen, in my view, if those 5 qualities don't happen is that we will sustain more horrific casualties of lives and infrastructure than we would have had to, had the PC paradigm collapsed sooner. But eventually, after those needless horrific losses, we will rouse ourselves and finally, easily -- though tragically -- win. Why am I so sure of this? For two reasons:

1) As I said above, the West is so many light years ahead of the Muslim world, it is silly to think we could lose militarily -- once our PC obstacles finally crumble.

2) I don't buy the argument that Islam can take over by non-violent osmosis -- perhaps Islam could take over a profoundly primitive 10th-century Indonesia in largely non-violent ways, but no way in hell could it take over the most advanced civilization in world history, the 21st-century West.

Again: we will win either way, tragically and horribly, but it will be worse if we keep holding tenaciously to our PC too long; somewhat better the sooner PC is dismantled. I can't really guess which way the wind will blow: unfortunately, it will depend more on how Muslims behave in the coming decades, than how we behave, since the trajectory set for us, by us, is passivity, followed by grudging activism only after horrible losses.

Isabella, I'm glad we're closer to the same page now. The only slight disagreement I have is your statements about America being Christian. I agree that it is PC to mock the idea that America is Christian, but on the other hand, America's Founding Fathers were able to marry Christianity with Secularism. In fact, I'd say the special genius of our Founding Fathers was that they were capable of being more Christian and more genuinely Secular at the same time -- an amazing and graceful balancing act.

No matter what muslims are caught red-handed doing, they always play the victim card. Their arrogance is absolutely astounding. What will happen when the the victim card no longer elicits apologies and concessions, which will surely happen sooner or later. The way I see it, they have just about run out of alibis, excuses, and explanations for their overt hostility to the people and government of the U.K. The "out of context", "islamophobia", "bigotry", and other assorted half-baked canards will not hold up forever, and the damning evidence against them keeps coming in and piling up. The fact that this documentary was actually made and aired on television amazes me; I didn't think such a candid exposure of islamic treachery would ever be publically exposed in the U.K.

The fact that muslim clerics were allowed to foment hate and jihad for years with impunity has probably done much more damage than anyone in the government would care to admit. Their main concern has been to present an illusion of tranquil harmony to the public, in order to keep the peace. What they have foolishly cultivated over time is a potentially volatile situation that will eventually result in violence. The muslim leadership in the U.K. has basically told the British government that any attempts to expose, stop, and prosecute muslim clerics for inciting jihad and hate will result in a muslim revolt, and the government continues to postpone the inevitable. Those who succumb to blackmail lose every time.

Well, I was thinking about the speeches recorded in the Mosques in last night's documentary, and realised that all the hate, bigotry, threats of violence and Islamic supremacy, everything was in fact, almost verbatim, quotes from the Koran, the Hadith, and the Sunna.
They we not made up by the clerics, just quoted from their holy scriptures.

No body knew that? How about the undercover reporters? They must have been Muslims, or turncoat Muslims at least, to enter those places unchallenged.

You cannot ban those "hate speeches", they were quoting the Koran, and that'd what Islam is!
Renouncing it is to renounce Islam itself, the teachings of Mohammad, the Koran, and the Sunna.

How lethally stupid is from the non Muslims not knowing, that all this is really coming from the scriptures of the religion of peace and tolerance.

Crack open the Koran, and read, if you don't believe it!

Remote

For your first criteria for the threshold to be attained to slay the PC demon, I wasn't thinking so much about the magnitude and number of targets that need to be hit, but now that you mention it, I tend to agree with you on that. It would take something like one of those signature al-Qaeda simultaneous attacks worldwide, accompanied by massive pro-Osama demonstrations by Muslims worldwide, in order to cremate the PC mentality that pervades the overwhelming majority of people worldwide.

However, without trying to sound like a Naseem, I do disagree with you on your assumption that even without slaying the PC demon, we can prevail against the forces of Islam.

But eventually, after those needless horrific losses, we will rouse ourselves and finally, easily -- though tragically -- win. Why am I so sure of this? For two reasons:

1) As I said above, the West is so many light years ahead of the Muslim world, it is silly to think we could lose militarily -- once our PC obstacles finally crumble.
This directly contradicts the earlier part of your theory, where you assume 5 necessary and (presumably) sufficient conditions for the demise of PC. Here, you state once our PC obstacles crumble, as though that is inevitable. But you yourself point out a threshold as high as the WTC, which given al Qaeda's much reduced capabilities, is very unlikely to be attained - for that, you'd need something that makes 9/11 look like the Columbine shootings.

You also mention 'militarily' above. No-one doubts militarily - what with the Ethiopian victory, the (mis-directed) Iraqi troop surge and the like. The problem is not a military one - it's more a combination of demographics and PC attitudes that bestows on Muslims a 'favored community' status traditionally reserved for groups that were perceived to have been historically wronged, and therefore, rightly or wrongly, deserving of redress. (Regardless of whether one thinks that Native Americans were wronged, or that Blacks deserve reparations, there is no reason that Muslims deserve any of such considerations.)

2) I don't buy the argument that Islam can take over by non-violent osmosis -- perhaps Islam could take over a profoundly primitive 10th-century Indonesia in largely non-violent ways, but no way in hell could it take over the most advanced civilization in world history, the 21st-century West.
Those are fighting words that certainly everybody here hopes will come true, but remember, the same was once true of the Byzantine empire - the leading civilization in Europe, which was pretty much the Britannia of its time. The one thing that the most advanced civilization in world history lacks is Sun Tzu's motto: Know your enemy. So far, the West (and East - India, Thailand and Phillipines are no better) hasn't shown the remotest (pun not intended) indication that it even knows who it's at war with, much less the methods by which this war is fought.

Also, your implication above that this osmosis will be only non-violent, is likely only in the initial phase - sort of like the early part of Mohammed's career. Once Islamic populations reach a threshold where they become a solid voting bloc, it will be next to impossible for political parties to write them off while doing their electoral calculations. In fact, one could argue that this is the case today! And once they get to the point that they are a plurality, you are likely to see the story of Malaysia repeat itself (Indonesia's Islamization was not even mainly non-violent, as Ibn Battuta noted about Sumatra in the 13th century, despite what Islamic apologists say). And once they come to power, they'll then use the police and army to enforce their Shariah vision, and at that point, you'll see the violence.

In short, nothing short of a military coup in Washington, followed by a large scale deportation of all Muslims - immigrant, descendants of Muslims and converts - is likely to pull us out of this quagmire.

From awake's link above; a Glen Beck show transcript:

http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0612/11/gb.01.html

I`ll never forget the terrified look on Stu, my radio producer`s face, when I told him, "All right. I`ve made my decision. I`m going to announce it today." It had take me about a year, but I came to my conclusion after reading the Koran cover to cover. I had traveled to the Middle East. I had gone to mosques. I had met with Muslims from all walks of life. I looked at both sides of it.

And after prayerful reflection, I came to the realization that, just like every other religion, or even the Internet, Islam can be used for good or evil. It is the individual people that make the difference.

I believe that a tiny minority of Muslims, about 10 percent, are a danger to you and your children and to me and mine. I`m not talking about the neighbor down the street or the colleague. Maybe.

But mainly I`m talking about the people like the people in Iran that are currently running the country who are holding up Holocaust deniers conventions. I`m talking about the Muslims in the Gaza that killed three Palestinian children today when trying to assassinate one of their own.

So while good Muslims are the overwhelming majority, it`s the evil ones who are hijacking Islam for their own twisted purposes.

The only way to defeat this growing threat of radicalized Islam is to do what Christianity did when it reached its pivot point: to undergo a reformation. The good Muslims need to stand up and say, "I want my religion back!" When that happens around the world, the war on terror will finally be over.

Bulloney.
