UK: Muslim police "blocking crackdown on honor killings"

"Asian," of course, is British PC-speak for Muslim.

"Asian PCs 'blocking crackdown on honour killings,'" by Miles Goslett and Daniel Boffey for the Daily Mail (thanks to Jerusalem Posts):

Some Asians in the police and in Government jobs have been accused of blocking the crackdown against so-called honour killings.

It is alleged they are not only failing to help desperate women trying to flee abuse and arranged marriages but are actively encouraging punishment for those they believe are breaking traditional taboos.

Terrified victims who seek official help are even being tracked down by a network of Asian men working in Government departments and social services, according to a study written by the think-tank Social Cohesion.

One woman was found by her family after she signed on at a Jobcentre where a member of the Asian community was working.

The report also claims some Asian police officers actually return women to their abusive families or refuse to act against men enforcing 'traditional' roles.

Meanwhile, non-Asian officials and police officers are scared of acting against families who abuse their relatives for fear of being branded as racist, the report says.

Read it all.

Great Britain has been eroded bit by bit and is gradually adopting shariah, we we've seen in today's papers.

Anyone who can afford it should leave the country ASAP and go somewhere that the minority will not be dictating policy to the mjaority.

All the news out of the UK today is so depressing. To see a once-great nation brought to its knees by muslim immigrants is a horrible spectacle. The readers'comments under the news articles are almost 100% against immigration, against the government, against muslims. So why don't the people of Britain do something?

Of course, that's easy for me to say, with the mighty Atlantic Ocean between my country and theirs. But still - one would think the Brits must rise up and take to the streets in protest at some point!

The report can be accessed at the Centre for Social Cohesion website as a pdf if anybody is interested. This site is part of the counter jihad in the UK, as is that of Maryam Namazie, an Iranian ex-Muslim and UK resident dedicated to letting people know the truth about Islam.

People here are getting mightily cheesed off but the media here just have not caught on.

People, this is a paragraph I copied from Dane's article link above (the first "channel 4" one):


"Senior Judge and Secretary of the Council, Sheikh Hassan, says: ‘We know that if Sharia laws are implemented then you can change this country into a haven of peace. Because once a thief’s hand is cut off, nobody is going to steal. If only once an adulterer is stoned, nobody is going to commit this crime at all. There would be no rapist[s] at all. This is why we say that, yes, we want to offer it to the British society. … And if they don’t accept it, they would need more and more prisons."

Can you believe? For about the 3rd time this morning I have to say that what's happening in Britain is "beyond belief."

P.S. Love the part about how there wouldn't be any more rapists! My God, the stupidity is unbelieveable. And no more adultery and no more thievery! OK - so, accepting this thesis, there must be none of those things in Islamic countries, right?

A "haven of peace?" You mean, like in Islamic countries? MY GOD.

Channel 4's Sharia TV programme has to seen to be believed. It is truly abhorrent in its braindead enslavement to the authority of the Koran , clerics and Islamic law. It wears its anti-semitism and hatred for infidels on its sleeve and is proud of it. It is useful for one thing....it gives the average kuffar viewer, who still has a critical mind, an opportunity to get all this venom straight from the horse's mouth, nicely bypassing the usual MSM PC twaddle. In this sense, the Muslims and their appeasers, like Channel 4, are shooting themselves in the foot by advertising their pernicious and twisted mind-set on programmes such as these. But it is such an ugly and painful experience to watch this malevolence.

Please forgive the cut and paste but this will explain what ordinary police officers are up against,not just in Scotland but throughout the British Isles. Here goes:-
WHY POLICE ARE AFRAID TO TACKLE ASIAN CRIME

Political correctness protects young ethnic offenders
by Mike Liddell
Former Strathclyde Police chief inspector
Scottish Daily Mail
Friday, November 19, 2004, p. 14

IT was a crime of breathtaking callousness and depravity that shocked all Scotland. The murder of Kriss Donald was an act of brutality more readily associated with the likes of Bogota or Baghdad.

Yet this awful crime was played out in the leafy suburb of Pollokshields in Glasgow - and has left its residents searching for some kind of explanation.

As a former senior police officer in Strathclyde with 30 years' experience, I believe the answer is clear - though, for many, it will prove unpalatable.

In my view, crime within Glasgow's Asian community has been allowed to grow unfettered for years. Why? Because the police have been afraid to fight it in case they are accused of racism.

It was this basic failure to act that created the conditions which, at least in part, allowed the murder of Kriss Donald to happen.

This inactivity and its deadly consequences stemmed not from the attitude of officers on the street, but from the craven approach of their bosses to race-relations. For years now, a 'softly, softly' attitude towards crime in the ethnic community has prevailed - a disastrous policy born of the excessive interference of politicians.

The simple truth for senior officers is that they are not going to win that longed-for promotion or the coveted knighthood if they upset the local politicians who control the police boards.

So the attitude among Scotland's police hierarchy is: 'Be careful not to upset the ethnic community - they may start complaining.'

What was striking about the Kriss Donald murder was the confidence his attackers, Daanish Zahid and Zahid Mohammed, displayed as they trawled the streets looking for their victim.

We heard at the trial of a group of youths involved in the search, brawls in the street and a Mercedes being driven around the city with the victim aboard.

How is this possible?

Educated
Clearly, the Asian community is no less law-abiding than any other part of society. But on the South Side of Glasgow there is a significant group of young Asian men, mostly between 15 and 30, who are simply out of control. They believe they are beyond the law.

They are for the most part well-educated and well-off: driving around in a luxury foreign car is very much their style, but they receive no parental discipline and recognise no authority.

They are heavily involved in drug-dealing and crimes such as reset and fraud; some groups are well-organised, members travel extensively and have connections abroad.

Internal disputes and violence are common - and a cricket bat is often the weapon of choice.

They are very aware the police are reluctant to challenge them in anything less than the most extreme circumstances for fear of being branded as racist.

Make no mistake: they use the race card without mercy and in today's climate even an unsubstantiated complaint can damage an officer's career.

I was a chief inspector in Govan and my area of responsibility bordered Pollokshields.

Disturbed by rumours of young men being seriously assaulted and failing to report the crime, I set up a small plain clothes team to find out what was happening. It soon became apparent something was going on in the Asian community that the police knew nothing about.

It seemed the focus of activity was in Pollokshields and the intelligence-gathering group expanded to include officers from that area.

The extent of the involvement of some Asian youths in serious criminal activity was revealed. But in spite of the evidence, no serious effort was made to take action against them because senior officers decided to do nothing about it.

Police in Strathclyde are no strangers to being let down by their commanders when it comes to tough decisions involving the Asian community.

In 2001, South Side residents were dismayed to learn of the closure of a local swimming pool. A peaceful demonstration was hijacked by local youths many of them Asian.

Attacked
Police officers were refused permission to defend themselves when they were attacked

by this group. They were ordered to stand in line while the youths were given free licence to bombard them with stones, rotten fruit and plastic bags full of urine.

A number of officers were injured, at least one seriously. Few arrests were made.

I spoke to a number of officers afterwards and most believed their commanders had failed in their duty to protect them because they feared a political backlash that would damage their careers.

This attitude has been fuelled partly, by Scotland's burgeoning race relations industry and by a climate of intense political correctness. Barely a week goes by now without a new report on some aspect of race relations.

Many of our institutions, primarily the police, have been regularly criticised. But the response from police chiefs has been to try to avoid criticism by turning a blind eye to ethnic crime. This growing unwillingness to tackle such crime has meant that the public are increasingly getting a raw deal.

Scottish Executive research has discovered police officers are failing to use their powers to prevent and detect crime committed by members of the black and ethnic community.

I know from my own experience that a very high percentage of detentions or arrests of black and ethnic youths results in complaints of racial bias.

While I was a chief inspector in Glasgow's South Side, I monitored crimes and arrests every day. I knew when I saw a black or ethnic name that a complaint against the police would almost inevitably follow.

In my area, the detection rate for all crime was 45 per cent. For crimes reported as racially motivated, it was at least 90 per cent. The difference reflects the fact that a lot more effort goes into dealing with crimes reported as racially motivated.

They are monitored more scrupulously and local commanders are under more pressure to get results for that type of crime.

Exploited
This would not be a concern but for the fact that the definition of a racially motivated crime is so wide that almost every crime against the ethnic community can fall within it. Quite naturally, this situation is exploited by those who would benefit from it.

The police service in Scotland is not institutionally racist - it is institutionally institutional.

While it nominally serves the community, the real masters, as always, are the people in power and those who influence them.

The Asian community, like the rest of the country, is utterly appalled and outraged by Kriss Donald's murder.

But I believe his violent death was a result of the political correctness that has gripped the police service in Scotland for years.

Perhaps it is time, at last, for senior officers to forget about their gongs and promotions and finally protect the public - the job they were sworn to do.

More here on how the fear of the label "racist" enables evil and murder to triumph.

P.S. Love the part about how there wouldn't be any more rapists!
He's right, in that Sharia makes rape convictions so difficult that nobody will be convicted, ergo no rapists! He doesn't actually mean there will be no rapes, since we all know that's more prevalent in Muslim countries than in the UK.

"Some Asians (aka: MUSLIMS, not Japanese, not Chinese, not Hindus, not Buddhist..) in the police and in Government jobs have been accused of blocking the crackdown against so-called honour killings."

This is how civil wars get started. Over time people lose faith in the government. The internal fighting, within the government, leads to open war in the streets.

Two different sets of values...different dreams.

It seems this phenomenon could find its way here; PC cop leadership refusing to let their officers protect these young, vulnerable women.

At my blog I have a link for scared Muslim girls and an offer to take them in if they fear for their lives. It's all I can do at the moment, except to maybe encourage others to do the same at their blogs.

Maybe we can band together and form a network these girls can run to if they need it.

Let's not just write about it; let's do something.

"Abuse of U.S. Muslim Women Is Greater Than Reported, Advocacy Groups Say"

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,327187,00.html

http://www.dayahouston.org/

It was refreshing to read about “Daya”, I was wondering if there was some place these “lightly beaten” women and girls could go for help.
It would be a giant step backward if women’s advocacy groups don’t step up to the plate and help these poor souls from barbaric cultures.

To bad Amina and Sarah Said didn't know about “Daya”.

It seems that for a women or girl to truly be safe she can not trust her family.

Amina and Sarah trusted their mother and brother who “trusted dad “whom they allowed to walk out the door with the girls.
This trust is what got the girls executed.

Women who do find the courage to get help in the UK are now betrayed by political correctness.
They can't trust anyone or anything.

The report also claims some Asian police officers actually return women to their abusive families or refuse to act against men enforcing 'traditional' roles.

Meanwhile, non-Asian officials and police officers are scared of acting against families who abuse their relatives for fear of being branded as racist, the report says.

I wish I could say this is just another step toward chaos… but it's a full on, flying leap toward it. These officers should be removed, charged with aiding and obstruction, and jailed.

If those whose duty is to ensure civility won't do their job, civilization is lost.

But, we've covered this ground before:

For their own long term survival, the populations need to let the government know that "no go zones" will not be tolerated, and that is not a police decision, nor an acceptable government position, to relinquish sovereign territory. The non-Muslim population will have to decide if they are willing to subjugate themselves to the Islamic colony. And if they are not willing; they must decide who and what they are willing to sacrifice to stop the erosion of civilization. Government officials will then have to pick a side. Police who won't police are worse than useless; they are an obstacle to civilization and will have to be treated as such.

If neither government nor the population stand up and defend themselves, they shouldn't be surprised if at least two bloodbaths befall them in the future. The first: when chaos of Islam envelops them totally… and the second: when Islam encounters that part of the rest of the world that will not submit.

....Islam creates the chaos it offers to cure with Sharia.

I doubt that the things we're seeing would be possible unless the majority of the British people had given up on running their own country.

Posted by: joeblough [TypeKey Profile Page] at February 3, 2008 6:45 PM

All I can suggest is this: that if British posters or readers here, have relatives, friends or fellow-parishoners in the police force (and I have in mind plain old Constable Plod, the humble beat policeman) that you do your very, very best to inform him or her about Islam 101 as outlined on this website, and even give them a copy of the 'PIG to Islam and the Crusades', which is not a difficult read.

Ordinary cops need to grasp the basics - that Islam is a hostile gestalt very similar in its workings to a mafia-style crime gang ( to wit: members will NOT turn each other in; people who try to leave are killed; non-members are viewed as potential prey; non-Muslim legal codes and sovereignties are viewed with contempt, to be flouted and/or destroyed when the Mohammedans think they can pull it off; fraud and standover tactics are commonplace; and lying and disinformation to protect the gang [i.e. the ummah] are automatic).

If, in a district, police beat, or neighbourhood, the non-Muslim citizenry 'neighbourhood watch' and the cops could get on the same page, recognise the continuum between the violent and 'non-violent' jihad, and confront the local Mohammedan colony exactly as if it were a mafia outfit, then quite possibly you could push back, and re-take Britain neighbourhood by neighbourhood.

The ordinary non-Muslim cops need to be helped to lose their fear.

A further suggestion - non-Muslim communities in Britain could consider reviving the ancient traditional practice of 'beating the bounds'.

see, for example, this link:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beating_the_bounds

and this:
http://www.aldbourne.org.uk/awg/portal/main/?Section=Features&SubSect=Beating+the+Bounds

or this:
http://nottinghamchurches.org/misc/bounds.htm

This interesting custom could, I think, profitably be revived, parish by parish, across Britain. The full-scale version involves a concerted public, spiritual and physical declaration and celebration of local ownership of - and attachment to - territory.

After reading some of the accounts I googled up, I think 'beating the bounds' (like change-ringing, in fact) has all the hallmarks of an Infidel custom that, if determinedly practised by large groups of ablebodied infidel males, in parishes with aggressive Mohammedan colonies, would get right up the noses of said Mohammedans and flush their aggression and territorial ambitions right out into the open.

"ll I can suggest is this: that if British posters or readers here, have relatives, friends or fellow-parishoners in the police force "

I have, my brothers good childhood friend, and I know him quite well is a t/Superintendent Operations, of a large county in England. Basically he is equivalent to the head of a police bureau in a US state.

He is as liberal as can be. He views England through rose tinted glasses. I met up with him in August 07 and he baulked at my pro-nationalist and pro gun views.

meanwhile, his girlfriend was on my wave length. she is an agent in the new Serious crime squad, the UK equivalent of the FBI. She was telling me about an operation against some foreign crime gang, and I asked her if it would've been easier to just shoot them. "now you're talking" she said in agreement.

The ghost of Hitler could referee ...

Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than has any other factor, and the contrary opinion is wishful thinking at its worst. Breeds that forget this basic truth have always paid for it with their lives and freedom.

Vishant-

Well said, mate.

Over in Liverpool, I've witnessed a couple of episodes over the years where someone has used the term 'Paki' as either an epithet towards, or simply as an unthoughtful utterance in the presence of, sone of our Sri Lankan or Indian neighbours. On a couple of those occasions, I've watched them go absolutely ballistic at the mention of the word.

Not so much for the racial overtones of the comment itself, which are offensive enough, but more for the fact that they were assumed to be Pakistani Muslims.

There would probably be a comedy sketch in all of that somewhere, but in my experience most non-muslim 'Asians' don't see the joke. You'd think that the politically correct 'powers that be' would have the necessary brain cells to wonder why, but it looks like the Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists and what have you are just as buggered when it comes to drawing lines between yourselves and the 'disruptive element' in British society.

The link to the main story does not work. Is there a different one?

I have a great solution to this problem. Any Muslim who refuses to investigate honor killings or other crimes committed in the name of Islam should be fired from the police force and prevented from working in any other legal institution ever again. Police officers and other upholders of the law should not let their prejudices prevent or hinder their work. If the officers are prejudiced, then they are not fit to be police officers. It is time that the UK government told these people that they will not tolerate such behavior among people who are supposed to keep society safe!

There is something rotten in the State of Britain and it smells like Beirut.
