Sharia UK: Couple gets year in jail for putting bacon on mosque door handle

Jun 29, 2014 3:04 pm By Robert Spencer

_75698721_lambiecruickshankIf they had desecrated a church, would they be serving a year in jail? Not in Sharia Britannia. As Pamela Geller says, “while what these kids did was silly, jail time? For a bad joke?” Yes. British officials vie to outdo each other in bowing down to their new overlords.

And while what these kids did was silly, jail time? For a bad joke? – See more at: http://pamelageller.com/2014/06/uk-18-year-old-girl-jailed-year-putting-slice-bacon-door-handle-mosque.html/#sthash.LZaqAzUn.dpuf

“Pair jailed for Edinburgh’s Central Mosque bacon attack,” BBC, June 20, 2014 (thanks to Pamela Geller):

A teenage girl and 39-year old man who desecrated an Edinburgh mosque by attacking it with strips of bacon have both been jailed.

Chelsea Lambie, 18, from Paisley, was sentenced to 12 months and Douglas Cruikshank, from Galashiels, to nine months.

They attached bacon to door handles and threw strips inside Edinburgh’s Central Mosque on 31 January 2013.

Cruikshank pled guilty. Lambie was found guilty after denying the charges.

Sheriff Alistair Noble, at Edinburgh Sheriff Court, said: “It does not seem to me there is any way to deal with this case other than by custody.”

How about by sanity?

During an earlier trial, the court heard a Blackberry mobile phone was found in Lambie’s clothing when she was arrested at her boyfriend’s house.

Messages sent on 31 January included: “Going to invade a mosque, because we can go where we want.”

A text to the phone asked: “What you do last night?” The reply was: “Went to the mosque in Edinburgh and wrapped bacon round the door handles, opened the door and threw it in ha ha ha.”
‘Very disturbing’

Google searches on the phone were for the location of the mosque, addresses for taxis and “Edinburgh mosque bacon search”.

A security guard at the mosque told the trial of the offence the bacon would have caused to Muslims.

Usman Mahmood said: “I was surprised if a person did it for a joke. It is against our culture and religion.

“We do not eat pork or even touch it. I felt very bad seeing this meat in my sacred place.

“It hurt my feelings when I saw this meat hanging inside the mosque in the worshipping area. It was very disturbing.”…

    Oh, the poor widdle baby! You know what hurts my feelings and is very disturbing? Muslim child-raping gangs.

      But the eight dead crucified human beings that Islamists murdered this week with a mockery of the cross as key religious symbol of my faith, Christianity, is supposed to be okay because the Quran 5:33 and Allah as invented by Mohammad promotes crucifixion as “religion.”

      POTUS Obama and the traitors of the US congress that none of us elect, really
      — after global corporate interests bought elections through SCOTUS with unlimited media contributions for skillful brainwashing campaigns run by those beholden to the global interests — are doing their best to shred the US Constitution and what’s left of our free speech, but at least for today I’m allowed to type this.

      After Obama’s pro-Islam resolution debacle at the UN (probably a harbinger), anything is possible. Without Christ to strengthen me, I’d be in a puddle on the floor because I never thought any of this would be possible in “my country ’tis of thee.”

      What about the white child-raping gangs and paedophiles? Do they get you excited instead? lol

      • Angemon says

        Jul 14, 2014 at 11:43 am

        Notice that the dumbass muslim apologist who goes by the name of ‘s’ is juxtaposing “white” child-raping gangs and paedophiles with muslim child-raping gangs as if being muslim is is somehow equivalent to having white skin. I said “muslim child-raping gangs” and made no consideration about the ethnicity of the muslims engaging in such a practice. The problem with s’s ejaculation of false moral equivalence is that “whites” (unless they convert to islam) don’t have a holy text sanctioning rape. Muslims do, and act upon it.

        Now go eat a plate of bacon and ask yourself what went wrong in your life to make you defend child rapists. I’m guessing it was islam, but surprise me.

    A friend of mine was attacked by two people, he defended himself but was injured. The people who attacked him got fined £140 each. Mosque door handles are more important than people’s body.

    Seems like a waste of time for Scotland to become independent if its just going to become a Scotistan. Maybe the Scots ought stop “train spotting” and develop a spine if they really care about independence, freedom and human rights.

    ““It hurt my feelings” –
    Can they invent a new tune, I am tired of this song sung by the Muslims the world over. What about when they hurt feelings of the non-Muslims?

    That doesn’t count I guess.

    • Charles Fuhrer says

      Jun 30, 2014 at 12:56 pm

      Leaving aside the sentence, I also upset that the crime they were accused of was defined (per the BBC article) as:
      “behaving in a threatening or abusive manner likely to cause fear and alarm.”
      As “disturbed” and “disgusted” the Moslem spokesperson was he never once mentioned fear and alarm.
      So they did not get a fair trial. Maybe they can appeal? I would be willing to donate to their fund, anybody have any idea how to do that?

  5. Max Publius says

    Jun 29, 2014 at 4:44 pm

    Only 1.4% of Scotland is Muslim now (probably an underestimate). Still, you’d think the Scots would have a spine. The policeman, Sheriff Alistair Noble, is a collaborator, whether he’s been paid off or not.
    Sounds like the couple have been provoked by the Islamists saying they cannot be near the mosque. Why else did they text, “because we can go where we want.” Is that true Sheriff igNoble?

    Jun 29, 2014 at 5:07 pm

    What the heck is wrong with these people? I thought Scots were supposed to be smart and brave? Instead they’re kowtowing to Muslims. Mosks in Scotland, it’s just unbelievable.

  7. Arjay says

    Jun 29, 2014 at 5:23 pm

    Only a little more than 1% of Scotland is Muslim… and this is how this part of the United Kingdom behaves?

    In the United Kingdom… countless number of white (and lesser extent Hindu, Sikh and Black Christian) girls are regularly gang raped and placed into prostitution to earn money for their Muslim rapists.

    Horrible acts of terrorism happen- like the attack on the London transportation system. British soldier Lee Rigby is run over by a car full of Muslims who then jump out and behead the young man.

    Muslim gangs bully, beat-up and rape non-Muslims; especially targeting the elderly, gays, disabled and other perceived “weak targets.” There are daily acts of violence, intimidation, arson, robbery, rape and murder all courtesy of Muslims. Muslims will also do the same thing to other Muslims… but stage the scenes to blame non-Muslims and then claim Islamophobia and victimhood.

    The Islamists take over schools, and fill the ranks of government, military and police forces. IDIOT BRITISH… THEY ONLY OBTAIN THESE JOBS BECAUSE THEY ARE IDEAL FOR THEIR ULTIMATE TAKE OVER AND ACTS OF TREASON AGAINST GREAT BRITAIN. Any other type of job? No way! They live off welfare.

    The school system is being taken over by Muslims. British institutions are overwhelmed by the Muslim masses. Monies that could go to infrastructure, development, nature conservation, health-care, social services, education, the military, culture and the arts… and so much more instead go the treacherous gluttonous Islamic vermin.

    Allies to the British like Spencer and Geller are denied entry into the nation… patriotic Brits who protest the brutality of Islam are thrown into prison like Tommy Robinson… and even politicians who quote Churchill are tossed in jail.

    The British Isles are about to become one giant internment camp for non-Muslims.

      Jun 29, 2014 at 7:21 pm

      Gee. Sounds like the real UK citizens need effective means to defend themselves and their families and friends.

      Absent coherent, logical civil, police and legal systems with instant arrival on scene abilities wonder what that “effective means” could consist of.

      There’s always guns, of course. But, also of course, those are prohibited for most UK citizens: In general the citizens are much too irresponsible to handle such weapons of defense responsibly.

      I guess the raped children and women, the decapitated soldiers, the beat up Jews, the homosexuals, et. al. are much safer sans guns and knives.

    Long live bacon! On a serious note, the sentence is unreasonable. Why won’t a simple apology suffice? No harm was done here.

    Thumbs up @arjay

      Sometimes it’s just good to laugh!

      Too funny.

      I was going to go to sleep hours ago on this late post-Sun. night but the news on this blog would be surreal if not an indication of what’s coming. My hope and prayer is for the Judeo-Christian values and faith. This is so FUBAR we need more than human aid!

      My dad was a US Navy aircraft carrier pilot who would be turning in his grave if not already with Jesus. FUBAR is only a small selection of salty acronyms and phrases he’d be using over this. But a Baptist boy like dad probably wouldn’t be accepted for Navy OCS today; I’m guessing Muslims in the Obama era get informal unwritten priority for becoming officer candidates. You probably cannot sing the Navy Hymn either, as we did on bases when I was growing up, with its “Eternal Father strong to save, Whose arm hath bound the mighty wave … )

      So in honor of my daddy here’s to all of you followers of the false prophet Mohammad: The Eternal Father and not Allah guards and guides the US military instead of your false violent pseudo-deity that acts demonic instead of divine. The Eternal Father stops the wave of Islam and God’s true people ultimately prevail. This I pray as a Christian in the name of Jesus, Amen. (You Islamists can just get over it.)

    Is there a support group for these wonderful misunderstood people/prisoners? The prices at the prison commissary can be rather high here in the States, can’t be much better in a Brit/Scots prison, where might we send them a little support???

    It seems they are. The majority of Brits want a change in immigration policy.

    What will it take?

      It will take a much better government than we have at the minute ,one that has guts and will stand up for us as a country and put a stop to immigration especially those muslims that want to come here and live off benefits and then demand their own schools and such and stop this sharia law crap it should not be allowed here this is a British mostly Christian land and we don’t want islam to rule here but who will stop it !!only someone with guts and a good backbone .

    Texting- not good.
    A thief in the night is disguised up and leaves no trace.
    Loose lips sink ships.
    Walls have ears, and eyes.
    Communication networks are forever recording.
    One has to be professional about such things.
    At least some awareness is, not completely in vain, maybe, little drop, then another little drop, and more drops, maybe.

    The sad thing is if Scotland gets Independence from Britain the kowtowing to Islam will only get even worse. Salmond and the SNP intends to encourage thousands of “new Scots” to come here and be our masters. My worst nightmare is that if Britain eventually frees itself from the shackles of the European union we in Scotland (if we get independence) will be in a heavy handed marxist hyper PC state dominated by the EU.

    jail? Jail for a prank where nothing was damaged and no one was hurt? How about demanding a public apology or a few hours of community service?

    This was a tasteless act and I do not condone it, but given the response of the “authorities” the correct next move would be for all pranksters to attack as many mosques in Britain with bacon as possible.

    Let’s see the “authorities” try to jail 100 people for this offense.

    Building a mosque in a non-Muslim city is in itself tasteless and insulting. Maybe all the builders of mosques should be jailed.

    For my musical sensibilities, the noise that is the Islamic call to worship is incredibility hurtful and annoying–worse than throwing sh-t into a room. All the people calling the faithful to worship should be jailed.

      Re the mohammedan “call to prayer”.

      If any mosque anywhere in Scotland is doing it, especially if they are doing it at 4 am, then the surrounding infidel locals should fight back – either by hiring a team of real live bagpipers, or else by acquiring recordings of skirling bagpipes and playing them right back at the mosque, on HIGH.

      • Angemon says

        Jul 3, 2014 at 9:03 pm

        4 AM? Dayum! Isn’t there any law limiting the amount of noise during night time?

    LOL Well done for standing up and being counted

    Shame the sharia system slapped them both in jail but this is Scotland’s future if the SNP gets their way. Scotland in the EU will be powerless to stop millions of immigrants moving into Scotland and the hate preachers that are banned from the UK will move their base of operations to Scotland LOL.

    Ofc as for us English we deserve all we get the best we can do is form the EDL and march around the place protesting ROFL. Can’t even match the Irish at least they took action lol.

    You know what? despite the incredible “overkill” of sending two people to jail for a year when all they did was put a bit of bacon on the door handle of a mosque – this story does give me a bit of hope.

    Why? – because these two people, Chelsea and Douglas ( Douglas Cruikshanks – what a quintessentially Scottish name!) are both aged under-50. He’s 39, she’s 18.

    This tells me that Islamoawareness and a certain accompanying orneriness are manifesting among the *younger* Infidels in the Island of the Mighty.

    Perhaps our Scottish jihadwatchers need to be writing letters to the Authorities on behalf of Chelsea and Douglas, pointing out that compared to the multiple horrors practised by proudly-self-identifying Muslims upon non-Muslims – including Lockerbie, and the abduction, torture and murder of Kriss Donald in Glasgow, and the attempted attack upon the Glasgow airport, and the ongoing persecution of Meriam in the Sudan, and the kidnapping, rape, and forced “conversion” to Islam of more than 200 Christian schoolgirls in Nigeria – the mere greasing of a mosque door handle with bacon and the throwing of bacon strips into a mosque, is so insignificant an “injury” that it doesn’t even register.
