This was bound to happen, given today's climate. I'm amazed that the articles were published at all. But the question is, what did Will Cummins say that was actually false? Does Osama bin Laden not have a black heart? And are not his views shared by millions? Doesn't the truth matter anymore? From the BBC, with thanks to Susan:
The British Council has suspended a press officer in an investigation into allegedly anti-Muslim newspaper articles. Harry Cummins has denied writing a series of opinion columns in the Sunday Telegraph under the pseudonym Will Cummins.Muslim groups had protested to the newspaper's editor about the articles.
They said the author had described Muslims in derogatory terms and said Islam had a "black heart".
'Deeply offensive'
The British Council has moved swiftly to distance itself from the articles.
The organisation, which celebrates its 70th anniversary this year, was set up to develop closer cultural relations between the UK and other countries.
A spokesman, Christopher Wade, said the organisation disassociated itself from the "deeply offensive" content of the articles.

Aha, read this on BBC and sent feedback saying what wonderful, courageous articles Will Cummins wrote[not that it has been proved it is really 'Harry'].Also, how come a bleat from Muslim
Council and any protest is BANNED!Yet militant Fundamentalist groups openly preach bombing and killing of Kuffar?? This is a little O.T, about Sudan but thought others, especially Reza might find it interesting...
Nubia [Sudan] was a CHRISTIAN KINGDOM for almost a thousand years from the middle of the 6th Century.Of course once Islam arrived everything changed and now in North Sudan it is as though'the
Christian Kingdom never existed.'Funny that,eh.
Same old offer of Dawah, then fire and sword.And the buggers are still doing it...

I'm so angry about this. So we can't criticise Islam anymore. As far as I'm concerned the war is on.

A test of prophethood
A man once asked the prophet questions to see if he was really a prophet.
Why does one child look like his father and another look like mother's brother?
The angel Gabriel gave Mohammed the inspired answer from Allah.
During sex, if the mother reaches her climax first, the child will look like her. If the father reaches climax first, then the child will look like him.
Bukhari vol 1V no 546

Why don't we ask Will Cummins to post articles here.
He wouldn't get paid for it, but he would have an appreciative audience.

Well, hey, whaddya expect from political correctness? The *truth* is so deeply offensive to those people who're afraid of offending someone, they will embrace any manner of insanity and hate the person who points out the emporer has no clothes. This is a dangerous tendency and why nothing more has been done about Islam by various Western nations. But if the people are awakened and organized, this idiocy will come to an end (nothing moves faster than a politician trying to get out in front of the crowd to "lead" it).

What about me?
I've been going to about.com forums, telling them about Islam and linking them to Jihadwatch and Dhimmiwatch.
Guess what? Apart from being called a racist, it looks like I'm going to be shut out of the Agnostic/atheist forum.
PC is winning again.

'Nubia [Sudan] was a CHRISTIAN KINGDOM for almost a thousand years from the middle of the 6th Century'
So in fact was EVERY MIDDLE EASTERN COUNTRY!
This is what is so incredible. No one ever even brings this up!
WHy is it assumed that once Islam has ravaged and conquered a country, It belongs to Islam for ever?

Harry Cummins articles criticise ISLAM but are not critical of MUSLIMS.
It is important for this point to be made as criticism of a religion is not racist.
If i criticise the catholic church it is my right to do so.
If i criticise catholics , i am guilty of defamimg a group of people and that may be construed as racism.

They said the author had described Muslims in derogatory terms and said Islam had a "black heart".
'Deeply offensive'
oooohhhh the monster is offended, perhaps Harry Cummins should be burned alive, or thrown to the crocodiles??
Then they will be all warm and snuggly knowing that their Allah will roast him in a Hell fire while he drinks boiling water for eternity.
And they will be rewarded with a one way ticket to their "brtothel" in their heaven.

countries before Islam. If you would be so kind...
Thank You

Below is what I am planning to do; any other actions will have a tendency to be shut down by self-hating members of our own Western civilization:
1) inform as many ordinary people, journalists and politicians as I can regarding the truth about Islam;
2) go on an all out, no holds barred attack on Muslim countries with regard to their not allowing freedom of conscience;
3) go on all out, no holds barred attack on Muslim countries with regard to their treatment of religious minorities;
4) publicly try to enlist the support of Muslim organizations in condemning the lack of freedom of conscience and religious minority rights in their countries; when they ignore me or outright refuse to assist me in that regard, I will ensure that it is a matter of public record (perhaps my own website or blog - where I can post their replies to me publicly). The idea here is to expose their complete and utter hypocrisy, i.e. they want every right for Muslims possible here in the West while at the same time turning a blind eye to how Muslims treat people of other religions in Muslim majority countries. Well, I am sorry that sort of hypocrisy just won't wash with me. Hypocrisy is the homage vice pays to virtue. Well, I am going to make sure that their hypocrisy is a publicly known commodity.
That is more than enough of a game plan for me at the moment. If you can think of anything to add, let me know. I think it is very important to harass our Western politicians into condemning the lack of freedom of conscience and religious minority rights in Muslim countries. The Muslims cannot possibly object to people doing this without risking exposure of their true objectives for Western countries. If religious freedom is a good thing for them here in the West, then why is it not a good thing for people in majority Muslim countries? They can't have it both ways. We have to hit them over the head with these concepts until they start screaming. It is completely unacceptable that they can build a zillion mosques all over the West and freely do Da'wa, while in Saudi Arabia not a single church or synagogue is allowed to exist and all over the Muslim world, religious minorities are persecuted.
Oh, and I just thought of another one. The Mobots are often supported by left leaning Christian church groups such as the Church of the Brethren and the United Church of Canada. I will go after Church groups like those as to why they are not concerned about the fate of their co-religionists in countries like Egypt (e.g. the Copts). Why are they so worried about protecting Muslims from persecution in the West here, when Christians have been and are persecuted in practically every majority Muslim country on earth? They need a very strong wake-up call. And the same for self-hating Jewish groups. What is the matter with them?
So as you can see, there are a lot of things that people can do and most of them you can do without fear of Mobots calling you racist, etc. because how can they publicly say that they are against freedom of conscience and protection of religious minority rights without exposing their true agenda?

Critics of Muslims have effectively been silenced in Britain. The cradle of American culture is slowly slipping into darkness. Soon it will be unrecognizable.

320 million people live in the U.S. and Canada. If a million of them, or 500,000 of them, or 100,000 of them, or even 50,000 of them, would do what Mentat proposes, it would make the difference --all the difference.

there is coming a day (in fact its already here!) when a price will have to be paid by those who wish to speak the truth.
fortify yourselves brethren!
Mt 5:11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.

I think it is vital that we learn to distinguish between ideas that we disagree with and the people who hold them.
Jesus was a friend of sinners. We must learn to be friends to Muslims, especially those who are not extremists.
I have blogged in some detail about this case which is not accurately portrayed in some of these comments- pop over to www.adrian.warnock.info
