Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

UK: Over 20 investigations into honor-based violence and forced marriage in the Cambridge area alone in one year

Oct 23, 2014 2:08 pm By Robert Spencer

663321-domestic_violence-1390686010-550-640x480This is the Britain that David Cameron, Theresa May, Tony Blair et al have made. This is the Britain that British voters have chosen by not throwing out these clueless and compromised hacks and demanding more of their political elites. This is the Britain that British authorities made when they heeded the claims of the establishment Left — Nick Lowles, Matt Collins, Fiyaz Mughal, etc. — that to stand up against these largely Muslim practices would be “racist” and “bigoted” and “Islamophobic.” This is the Britain the British government chose when it decided that instead of standing up against jihad terror, Sharia and Islamic supremacism, it would demonize, hound, stigmatize and destroy all those who dared to oppose these things.

“REVEALED: Harrowing honour-based violence and forced marriage investigations in Cambridge area,” by Raymond Brown, CambridgeNews, October 23, 2014 (thanks to Stu):

MORE than 20 investigations have been launched over allegations of honour-based violence and forced marriage in the Cambridge area in one year, it has been revealed.

The Cambridgeshire Constabulary was the second force in the country to launch a hotline for victims of the crime in 2007 and has since dealt with some harrowing incidents.

In one case, a young girl was removed against her will from one country to another and forced into marriage. She was rescued from the situation and made safe.

Another woman in an arranged marriage was mentally abused by her husband before she contacted the force. Officers helped her to flee with her children to a place of safety.

Force chiefs said honour-based crimes can be complex and often go unreported because some victims do not feel they can approach the police.

Last year, the constabulary recorded a combined total of 23 incidents and crimes involving alleged honour-based violence but only one charge was made which resulted in a conviction. There were five incidents and crimes regarding forced marriage but no charges were made.

Police are calling on victims of the crime to come forward and ask for help.

A force spokesman said: “Although we don’t have many incidents of honour-based violence or forced marriage in Cambridgeshire, we take it very seriously and have specially trained officers within our Domestic Abuse Investigation and Safeguarding Unit.

“We also have a dedicated hotline which victims can call to report incidents or get help and support.”

The Cambridgeshire Constabulary Choice hotline was launched in June 2007 to support victims of honour-based violence and forced marriage and is run by specially trained detectives during the hours of 8am-10pm.

Out of these hours victims can contact 101 or in an emergency, always dial 999.

Following the launch of the hotline, calls to detectives about honour-based violence and forced marriage more than doubled, from an average of six calls per month to 20 calls per month….

    They war against the filthy practices of forced marriage and female genital mutilation should start in school.
    Asian and African girls should be taught from an early age in school that they are NOT bits of meat belonging to their fathers and brothers.
    They should be taught from the age of 5 upwards that they are free human beings and that their bodies BELONG TO THEM.

      Charli Main, “Asian and African girls should be taught from an early age in school that they are not bits of meat belonging to their fathers and brothers” and don’t forget mothers , aunts and sisters, actually some of those little girls are threated like piece of meat also by their women, they are the ones who hold them down while the little girls go thru genital mutilation. The UK been too laid back about many things for so long, couldn’t they just teach the immigrants to respect and honour the law? they should of be doing this a long time ago.

    And the Government is ineffective in dealing with these severe problems.

      Patrick Sookhdeo – ex-Muslim, now-Christian – has written a little book which is very useful and is a kind of “case study” of that process: “Islam in Britain”.

      Read in conjunction with the much longer and denser book on Islam-as-turf-grab “Faith, Power and Territory”, it is quite chilling. Especially if one reads another ex-Muslim, Sam Solomon, on the hijra – invasion-by-immigration – “Al Hijra: The Islamic Doctrine of Immigration”.

      Portrait of a Psychopath EDWARD CLINE (2014.10.14)

      http://capitalismmagazine.com/2014/10/portrait-psychopath/
       
      “Review: It’s All About Muhammad: A Biography of the World’s Most Notorious Prophet, by F.W. Burleigh. Portland, OR: Zenga Books, 2014. 555 pp. Illustrated.”

      “I guarantee you will come away with a new understanding of what makes Islam and jihadists tick. Basically, it’s Muhammadan insanity armed with a razor-sharp sword looking for a convenient neck to strike, or an empty, weak, malleable mind to fill. And whether they’re called al-Qaeda, or the Taliban, or ISIS, or Hamas, or Hezbollah, or the Muslim Brotherhood or any of its sundry and cousinly franchises , they are all nihilistic psychotics.”

    If the Muslim women are dependent on the men in the community for money, I don’t see what the authorities can do.

    The women know there is nothing they can do about it, so most goes unreported.

    And we don’t want to offend Muslims or sharia. (A father can force a virgin to marry and is not to be punished for killing a child , honor killing).

    Above, I mentioned ex-Muslim Patrick Sookhdeo’s two books – “Islam in Britain” and “Faith, Power and Territory”.

    His wife, Rosemary, on her own account undertook academic research – formal research – into the lot of Muslim women within the Muslim “community” in the UK, way back in the 1990s. In 2004 she published the results of that research as a book – “Secrets Behind the Burqa”.

    But she never received the degree that she *should* have received for all the research – meticulously conducted in line with basic professional guidelines such as all anthropologists or sociologists are supposed to observe. The university under whose auspices she did her research **suppressed the result and tried to force her to change – i.e. misrepresent – her findings!!**.

    Here’s what she says, in an appendix to the book –

    “The basis of this book was a Masters dissertation written for an Oxford college. It was completed in 1998, a time when very little was known about Islam in Britain and how it was conducting itself in the West. There was only sparse information coming from the Muslim community and no issues were surfacing…

    “When I submitted the completed dissertation to the college in 1998 there was no indication of what lay ahead.

    “I received a phone call from the college saying that they didn’t believe that I had written the dissertation myself **and that they wanted me to change my position on Islam** [my emphasis – dda; nota bene, this happened **in 1998!**]

    “To me it seemed unbelievable that they should think that someone else had written it, and that I should be asked to change my position on Islam, when our universities prided themselves on neutrality of research.
    “There was much correspondence between myself and the college, but to no avail.
    “Finally I wrote to the Vice-Chancellor of Oxford University and complained.
    “They convened a court where I had to state my case.
    “I had to take witnesses from our staff as I discovered that they believed that it was written by the research department of our work, The Institute for the Study of Islam and Christianity.
    “Then I had to argue for the neutrality of research.
    “When the judgement came, they upheld my integrity in every way **but still stated I had to change my position on Islam** [my emphasis – dda].

    “After a visit to the college they wrote to me saying that whereas everyone would be expected to pass on a rewrite they could not guarantee that they would ever pass me.
    “I took the dissertation and walked away.
    “They awarded me a post-graduate Diploma in Theology.

    “It was to be four years before I could even look at my dissertation again, and then I took it out of the attic and turned it into a book. At the same time I updated it to be current to 2004.
    “…It was a dissertation ahead of its time and everything I wrote about is today in the public arena.”

    “**I am not the only person who has been asked to change their position on Islam with regard to a dissertation in our universities.** {my emphasis – dda}

    “I have known others who have faced the same fate with regard to doctoral and masters dissertations and we will not be the last.
    “In our universities it is now very difficult to be able to analyse and critique Islam.
    “The day of free speech and neutrality of research is closing…”.

    Rosemary Sookhdeo’s book “Secrets Behind the Burqa” is worth getting and reading. Everything in the report under discussion today here at jihadwatch is discussed in that book and is related back to its roots in Islam, Islam, Islam.

    Above, one of our Defenders of Islam, the dhimmi – or Muslim – calling itself “Christy”, claims – in an attempt to distract from the subject under discussion, or to try to weaken the strong association between Islam and “honor” murders or ritual family executions – that “Hindus and Sikhs do honor killings all the time”.

    Dr Phyllis Chesler and other researchers have examined all honor killings. Dr Phyllis Chesler has done research into all manner of violence against women.

    Nevertheless, Dr Chesler has come to the conclusion that the bulk of honor-based violence against females – which is *not* the same kind of thing as, say, ordinary “family violence” as happens within the West – is taking place within the Ummah or Allah Gang. Sikhs and Hindus – whose cultures, one must bear in mind, have suffered centuries of deeply-traumatic abuse by Islam and who may well have absorbed willy-nilly various bad ideas – do not “honor murder” at anything like the same rate or in the same numbers as Muslims do.

    I will point out, also, that in Australian journalist Jacqueline Brook’s book “Nine Parts of Desire” (1994) she discusses, in the final chapter, the trial for murder of a Sudanese Muslim man, resident in the UK, who had murdered his wife Afaf (she had had the temerity to seek a divorce – as she could do, under British Infidel law – and, worse still, to form a relationship with a non-Muslim man).

    Brooks writes, “This was not an isolated case; it simply happened to be the one I heard about.
    “In a British study of family violence completed not long after Afaf’s death, the researchers found that women married to men of Muslim background were **eight times more likely to be murdered by their spouses than any other women in Britain** [my emphasis – dda]”.

    Nota bene: in the 1990s, as well as Muslims, there was also in the UK a large population of Hindus and Sikhs, whose ethnicity, like that of the Muslims, is South Asian. But it seems that in that study Brooks refers to **the** most dangerous spouse to have, far and away the most dangerous, was not a Sikh, not a Hindu, but …a Muslim.

    And I would BET good money that if the focus of that study had singled out not spousal violence but the murder of children by parents, it would have been pretty damn plain that a girl in a Muslim family is much more likely to be killed by family members than is a girl whose family belongs to any other belief system.

    I will also add that in the 1990s there was already a very strong culture of *suppressing* or massaging and fudging research results that were less than complimentary toward Muslims, so it is quite remarkable that this British study even saw the light of day. (One wonders whether, indeed, the researchers may, if anything, have been pressured – as Rosemary Sookhdeo, in 1998, certainly was – to “tone down” their findings).

    Helping people recognize and deal with these inhuman practices is what Pamela Geller sought to do by coming to Britain for a series of talks. Unfortunately, she has been barred from entering the country as she is likely to cause unrest amongst the revered muslim tribe. Insane.

    Cambridge? Doesn’t surprise me in the slightest. A city inhabited by the cleverest dhimwits in the UK. Wandering around a couple of years ago I happened to notice a rainbow flag flying from the flagpole over the council building in Market Square. It was the banner of international sodomy: Queer Pride Day, or something like that. Yup, these people spend half their lives on dope and the other half queering it up and far too busy writing books on Gender and Sexuality, Postcolonial Studies, and Queer Theory to worry about what is says in the Koran; after all, that would be ‘waycist’.

      Not to say turning out top level TRAITORS, spies for the USSR, who maybe set back the freeing of the communist peoples by decades, and caused the deaths of hundreds of agents and hundreds of thousands of innocent people under the heel of brutal ‘Uncle’ Joe.

      In that sense they deserve everything they get. But the rest of the country doesn’t deserve that.

    What is needed is a strike by all women of England against the Queen.
    England is not a democracy since all MP’s take an oath to serve her majesty.
    Whereas, in America all members of Congress take an oath to uphold the
    Constitution. If the Queen does not speak out against Islam saying that Moslems
    are not and can never become subjects of her majesty. Then all women of England must refuse to stand up when the Queen enters, refuse to bow or curtsy,
    refuse to sing “God Save the Queen” or play “God Save the Queen” refuse to attend any public appearance of the Queen, such as refusing to attend Ascot.
    the Solidarity of the women of England is needed to shame to Queen and the Royal family into opposing the invasion of barbaric Islam. That also includes
    refusing to attend any public event by any member of the Royal Family.

    Yazidis don’t go around forcing the rest of the world to convert, unlike the Muslims.

    It’s not about “loving them so much.” It’s about the fact that they’re not causing widespread problems in the world today.

    Christy just wants us to think “it’s not all about Islam” – she calls this Islam-blaming a “myth” in her various posts. How so?

    Based on Christy’s previous comments, she would prefer we stabbed at every single other problem on this earth, instead of first trying to tackle one of the biggest threats to the civilized world- Islam and its totalitarianism.

    That way, everyone can leave the poor Muslims alone! (Just like they leave us alone!).

    True, and even Italian Catholics, Russian Jews and Thai Buddhists do honor killings on occasion. However, it has been estimated that about 90% of so-called honor killings worldwide are done by Muslims, on a yearly basis.

    If there was ever a time for members of the Royal Family to speak out for the New Battle of Britain, it’s now. Unless, of course, they have submitted to Islam themselves.
