The fact that the General Medical Council took this complaint seriously shows how far Britain has fallen. It is rapidly coming to the point where it will be illegal to be pro-Israel and opposed to jihad terror. Indeed, our support for Israel was one of the reasons why Pamela Geller and I were banned from entering Britain. The criminalization of criticism of Sharia that the Conservative government wants to implement is already de facto in place.
“Islamist Medical Student Reports Pro-Israel, Anti-ISIS Doctor to General Medical Council for ‘Islamophobia,'” by Donna Rachel Edmunds, Breitbart, November 4, 2014 (thanks to Nicholas):
A London doctor is being investigated by the General Medical Council (GMC) for alleged Islamophobia after posting criticism of ISIS and support for Israel on his private Facebook page. He was reported to the council by Faisel Alam, who described himself on the complaint form as a “concerned member of the public” but in reality has links to both Islamic and leftist organisations, as well as the Council itself.
Breitbart London has seen a copy of the complaint, the substance of which reads in full “This man is viciously Islamophobic and has used his Facebook to espouse his hatred towards this particular religious group (See attached file). I fear that his highly intolerable views towards this group of people will compromise his Duty of Care.”
But we have found a number of links between Mr Alam and extremist groups, mostly through his involvement with university campus Islamic Societies which have come under widespread scrutiny over recent years for hosting extremist speakers, creating terrorists, and taking millions of pounds in funding from Saudi and Middle Eastern sources.
Moreover, the file of evidence submitted by Alam to the GMC shows no evidence that the work of Dr Destree, an emergency medical practitioner from London, is anything less than satisfactory, leading to fellow doctors questioning why the investigation is going ahead at all.
The evidence submitted against Dr Destree consists of just five posts made to his private Facebook page, and two comments on another doctors’ page. One example consists of a photo of gun-wielding jihadists, some wearing marks, taking aim at around 50 fellow Muslims in a clear execution, to which he added the comment “VOILA – The true face of (sunni) Islam!”
In another, Dr Destree has commented on a picture posted to the social networking site by a friend and fellow doctor. The graphic image depicts dead Muslim women and children with the caption “One must not close one’s eyes to evil atrocities… the river runs red with blood from Gaza”. Dr Destree responded below “… because hamas is using its own people as human shields and cannon fodder. Can it be that you are falling for the terrorist’s propaganda?”
It was via this mutual Facebook friend that Faisel Alam was made aware of Dr Destree’s opinions (Alam ‘liked’ the post on Gaza).
The General Medical Council exists to set standards for the medical profession, and to licence doctors. It has the ability to restrict, or take away doctors’ registration if they consider that a doctor is not fit to practice. On its website, it lists cases in which it may investigate a complaint. They include serious mistakes in medical care, failure to properly examine patients, fraud, and breaches of patient’s confidentiality.
It adds “Our Fitness to Practise procedures focus on the most serious concerns, which call into question a doctor’s fitness to practise and right to retain unrestricted registration – that is his or her right to work.
“This might be because the doctor poses a risk to patients or because the doctor’s conduct is likely to undermine confidence in the profession.”
Yet there is no evidence that Dr Destree has allowed his opinions to colour his medical practice. Dr Destree is German and was married to a shia muslim woman for a number of years. As part of the package of evidence, Alam links to an article which describes how Dr Destree heavily criticised standards of cleanliness in the residential block for hospital staff at Yeovil District Hospital, even cutting short his locum contract thanks to what he described as a “sordid collection of filth” in the communal areas – filth which he feared could compromise hygiene standards within the hospital itself.
Even Alam admits within the body of evidence submitted that Dr Destree merely “MAY one day compromise his duty of care.”…
However, the decision becomes less puzzling when one considers, that, far from being simply a “concerned member of public”, Alam, who is a postgradate medical student at University College London, sits on the Council as an education associate and so has personal links to the Council.
His judgement on the question of ‘Islamophobia’ is also brought into question when one considers that he is also head of Student Affairs for the Kings College, London Islamic Society and has links to a number of other university campus Islamic Societies, which collectively have been noted as hotbeds of extremism for a number of years now.
A 2010 report by the Centre for Social Cohesion titled Radical Islam on UK Campuses detailed the extremist speakers invited to speak at University campuses, and the terrorist atrocities they encouraged. For King’s College, it notes speakers including Anwar al-Awlaki, a senior al-Qaeda talent recruiter, according to the US government, who was described by Al Arabiya as the “bin Laden of the internet”. He was killed by a US drone strike in Yemen in 2011. And amongst the alumni of KCL’s Islamic Society are Asif Hanif and Omar Khan Sharif, who in 2003 carried out the suicide bombing at Mike’s Place, a Tel Aviv bar, killing three and injuring 50 people.
This summer, Alam took part in the Oxford Centre for Islamic Study’s (OCIS) Young Muslim Leadership Program. The Centre drew criticism in 2008, along with seven other institutions, for taking funding from Saudi Arabia and Muslim organisations to promote an anti-Western view of Islam and Middle Eastern affairs. Between them, the eight universities received over £233.5 million in funding.
Despite the criticism, the funding continued. In 2011, the Centre for Social Cohesion identified £1m in funding from the King Abdul Aziz Foundation for Research and Archives, a direct arm of the Saudi Government, paid to Oxford University. OCIS also accepted a further £20m directly from King Fahd, for which speakers from Saudi were regularly welcomed to present to the students….
Another picture on his Facebook account depicts Alam at the House of Lords, posing with AbdoolKarim Vakil, chair of the Research and Documentation Committee of the Muslim Council of Britain, and Shenaz Bunglawala of the organisation Muslim Engagement and Development (MEND) (both of which condemn any criticism of Islam or Muslims as “Islamophobia) – and the left wing commentator Owen Jones.
The links between the left and Islamic forces are widely documented by now – David Horowitz wrote his book Unholy Alliance: Radical Islam and the American Left in 2006, whilst the One Law for All Campaign (which lobbies the UK government to end Sharia and religious courts as being anti-human rights), published its report Siding with the Oppressor: the Pro-Islamic Left in 2013.
Alam conforms entirely to this tendency, posting links to Marxist blog site Lenin’s Tomb on his Twitter page and blaming the Government for radicalisation of British jihadis. Until recently he sat on the Medical Students Committee for the British Medical Association, the UK’s only recognised trade union for doctors which promotes an anti-competitive model of healthcare for Britain.
The ruling on Alam’s complaint against Dr Destree isn’t due for another five months, but if upheld, it will conform to a pattern of increasing politicisation of the health service as a vehicle for promoting left wing versions of ‘tolerance’ and ‘equality’.
Last week Breitbart London reported that, as of next March, all prospective medical students will have to pass face-to-face interviews designed to assess how well they conform to the values of the NHS – values that include “a wider social duty to promote equality through the services it provides.”
Mr Alam is studying for his MBBS Medicine as a postgraduate student, having already gained a BSc in Biomedical Science. He has never practiced medicine, but exemplifies the new approach to recruitment that the NHS appears to be promoting.
Dr Destree, on the other hand, is in his mid-50s and has many years of exemplary medical experience behind him. The decision of the General Medical Council to even investigate this allegation tells us much about the values that lie at the heart of the healthcare industry in modern Britain.
john spielman says
gee, I could be found guilty of “islamophobia ” too, by my regulatory bodybut I would refuse to accept ‘islamphobia” as the complaint but demand they call it islamoLOATHING!
By the way islam is a doctrine of demons and muhammed pbuh* was a demon possesed mass murderer, thief liar misogynist a pedophile!
pbuh*-perpetual banishment unto hell!
Bradamante says
The word “Orwellian” doesn’t even seem strong enough. It occurs to me that this is the new generation gap — middle aged and older people, some of whom still remember what it’s like to think for oneself, and younger people who have been brainwashed and believe that “tolerance” means “having no independent opinions about what’s right.”
RonaldB says
The most intense personal tragedies of the whole farce will be the patients, who instead of being treated by a competent physician like Dr. Destree, will have to suffer the attentions of a political hack like Feisel Alam, should he ever get around to actually practicing medicine.
The whole episode calls to mind the program of the left, which dovetails nicely with the aspirations of political Islam.
1) Centralize the reigns of government, social control, public services, news dissemination, and production into a single entity;
2) Infiltrate and seize power in the various government boards and commissions;
3) Eliminate any criticism or oversight which exposes the inevitable deterioration of services, production, and security.
Islam shares at least one trait with the left: a highly-developed political intelligence which is not matched by an ability to actually produce or create anything. The left and Islam both gain their wealth and power through the co-option (stealing) of the fruits of other people’s work and creativity. The typical leftist is an academic intellectual with some writing ability who can’t understand why his “intellectual inferiors” actually have more wealth and influence than he does.
The typical Islamist feels that the wealth of others belongs to him, through the decrees of Allah.
Britain is going to be susceptible to horrors such as this investigation of a competent doctor as long as it persists on the road to rampant socialization. The Islamists and the leftists are both expert at deriving an income from the state, without actually having to work for it, thus leaving them plenty of free time to gather more power and resources for themselves.
By the way, when I use the term “leftists” I do not mean it synonymous with the Democrats. Although the Democratic Party is host to socialists of the worst sort, there are many Democrats who are thoroughly committed to true liberty.
Salah says
” The Islamists and the leftists are both expert at deriving an income from the state, without actually having to work for it.”
Well said, RonaldB. They’re both totalitarian ideologies, they’re both equally evil, they’re both satanic.
They both must be fought against, and defeated. Our war is against Evil, Islam is only one aspect of it.
Elaine Goode says
Islamophobia is a good thing. It will protect you from Muslims with a dangerous, savage agenda. Everyone should have Islamophobia. It is like a flu shot against Influenza. Islamophobia against Muslim terrorism!
Alex says
The problem is the total confusion among the masses between a phobia and a simple dislike or distrust. A phobia (e.g., arachnophobia, bacillophobia, etc.) is a pathological/abnormal fear of something, with little justification for the intensity of the said fear. I don’t like Islam for obvious reasons, but I’m not sick about it. The term “islamophobia” is just a fallacious exaggeration spun by the left to discredit any open critic of Islam.
Darren says
The term islamophobia is a term used by stealth jihadists and their liberal slaves to paint anyone who disagrees with them as some kind of evil bigot. They use the same tactic over and over again, I still don’t understand why this crude tactic works so well, it is so easy to counter. Weaponized political correctness such a simple crude tactic but it works so well in the west I don’t get it. Then again there is many things I don’t get about the collective mass suicide the the western world is currently engaged in. I don’t think I ever will.

This sounds like Germany in 1938.
It is now against the “rules” to be pro-Israel (e.g. you must be anti-Semitic). It is now against the rules to criticize the prevailing ideology of Islamic Jihad.
To hold contrary opinions means marginalization, threats and even public beheading by ideological thugs.
“Where have all the flowers gone….”
Robert says
The General Medical Council and it’s twin sister (General Dental Council of which I have been subject to gross harassment from – not related) are corrupt and vile organisations who cover-up gross misconduct yet attack others who are not one of the boys and leave them jobless, penniless and homeless.
Darren says
So yet another institution has been infiltrated and co-opted. The original purpose it once served is now a different one than the stated intent. This is a very successful tactic the communists used. Think no further than the public education system in the U.S, or as I like to call it the public indoctrination system. The goal is to indoctrinate and run social experiments not educate. The minute a political and cultural agenda got put into education it all went down hill as evidenced by spending more per student than any other nation but finishing in the high 20s to 30s in math and reading in the U.S.The stealth jihadists learn from the best I guess. It makes sense since the left and islam are allies.

One of the tragedies here is that the British people more often than not have no idea that this is going on;the media,even the sensible papers like the Mail and the Telegraph don’t bring it to the peoples’attention. Very few would agree with this persecution of a man because he speaks his mind, on his personal face book site. The bourgeois left have ,sadly,taken over most of Britain and they are constantly tightening the screw on all who disagree with their left Islamophile agenda. The left and Islam find common ground in their hatred of Western society as it now exists and have teamed up to hasten the West’s demise;like the Nazi Soviet pact,both sides hated the other but both thought they could use the other and then kill it. The left has made a massive error. One of the cheer leaders for this lamentable situation is of course the BBC. This organisation with massive tax payer derived resources is in the vanguard of the attack on society in Britain and an unashamedly biased supporter of all things left and Islamic ,and all things of the right and Israel. They are truly detestable people and work hand in glove with the lefty’s bible ,”The Guardian” newspaper. On the up side,”ordinary” people are rapidly losing patience with these people as the rapid rise of UKIP demonstrates. So much anti Israel propaganda has been pumped down the throats of a basically ill informed public by the likes of the Socialist party,the Liberal-democrat party ,who actually are not liberal but rather intolerant of disagreement, and some so called Conservatives,that the Israeli cause has been severely damaged. Many Jews say they are frightened in Britain ;attacks on Jews have increased. The media won’t reveal the facts but I think it is obvious who are carrying out the majority of these attacks. Britain,England, is nothing like the lovely country it was,the people nothing like the people they were ;yet there is still a lot of people who cling to the old values and virtues although the left make it increasingly difficult to do so. We can see how Socialism rots the soul of a Nation,because since the end of WW2,Britain has been increasingly in the grip of Socialism and Socialist led ideas,even when the Conservative party have been in office. So those of you in the US take warning,it could and will happen to you if you are not vigilant.

Whoa, that is disturbing. Btw, isn’t Zawahiri an internist? I’ve always said I’d never let a Moslem MD near me, just like there should not be Moslem cops or Moslem soldiers or Moslem Marines or Moslem firemen. They also should be forbidden not just from the role of doctor, but also not allowed into nursing, diagnostic lab tech jobs, therapist jobs, or any other role, including EMT jobs (much of EMT is with gubmint or not-for-profit organizations, which means pro-Moslem.

When you see NYC Cops kneeling and praying to Mecca with the uniform on, that is pretty telling wouldn’t you say ? how man other US cops are Muslim ? or in any other Western country for that matter.
Just another reason to NOT trust the cops if or when they come to your door.

They’re running out of new things to do, what with the NHS now in the latter stages of the final ruination of healthcare on the British Isles, this move against the doc makes perfect sense, exciting, a crusade, if you’ll pardon the word.
The Associated Press and other press outlets have agreed not to report on suspected cases of Ebola in the United States until a positive viral RNA test is completed,”
– Pharmacologist David Kroll writing in Forbes
Yeah, just like the AP and other press outlets have agreed not to report on suspect Moslems, or Moslem suspects, or whatever. Silence is golden, and news elision is mass circumcision, if not outright castration. Some wags in here call AP Al Press or Allah Press, and for good reason. But they ain’t no different than their competitors, all of whom compete in God knows what contest.

A friend had a medical board complaint that was totally destroyed by a letter from the specialist whose appointment he ignored. Despite this the case went before the board with total exoneration. So my friend complained to the board that they wasted everyone’s time with this false complaint. Guess who it was that filtered the complaints ? Yes a Muhammad someone. I will bet that those complain about Muslim doctors have a problem passing him. This is what we deserve from allowing them into the country to practise.

Saudi and other mid east cointries moneys coupled with hunger for power,position and great fame are making UK,US and some other West countries leaders giving their lands up to ravaging deadly ebola disease called islam which its after effects do no human any good than secret tears and regrets. I am very sure the great fathers of the arabs and their co-islamic countries ally are weeping all years for innoccent blood shed daily in their lands in the name of bloody murderous mohammad and his evil bloody cult he selfishly introduced and these oneway arabs and mideast zombies just accepted him under sword duress and forlon hope of 72 virgins in their fool’s paradise.
If it is a blasphemy to say JESUS is a son of GOD then how uncountable blasphemous will it be to read from the unholy quran that in paradise,where GOD abides and right in GOD’s presence we will make love !!!! Can’t still fathom how these well educated people still follow this cult of a religion,maybe for sex and sexes anyway,since their leader mohammad was a sex maniac. I bet if he had silent time to pray to his forged allah.

Britain has become a VERY dangerous place for free speech, especially if it is against islam as muslims are a very protected species in that country. I felt the weight of the threat when I was living there. Britain is no longer part of the civilised and free world, thanks to its rapid and vicious islamisation.
