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

UK soccer fan who ripped Qur’an at match banned from every stadium

Dec 17, 2014 10:19 am By Robert Spencer

JuliePhillipsBritain is moving to criminalize every form of resistance to Islamization, crude or sophisticated, reasoned or emotional, group or individual, domestic or foreign. The British authorities think that when they do this, they will pacify their Muslim community and march together with that community into a peaceful multicultural future. It won’t work out that way.

Oh, and what race is the Qur’an again? I keep forgetting.

“Football fan BANNED from EVERY STADIUM after she ripped up the KORAN at a match,” by Jamie Lewis, Daily Star, December 17, 2014 (thanks to Melanie):

A RACIST football fan has been BANNED from every football stadium in England and Wales after ripping up pages of the Koran during a match.

Julie Phillips had already been handed a lifetime ban from her beloved Middlesbrough’s Riverside Stadium as a result of the incident.

The 51-year-old tore pages from the Koran during Boro’s 2-2 draw away to Birmingham last year.

Phillips claims she had no idea the book she was tearing from was the holy book of Islam.

She is the first woman to ever have such a ban imposed in the north east.

A trial in May from Birmingham Crown Court found her guilty of causing racially aggravated harassment, alarm or distress.

She was subsequently banned for life from Middlesborough, but Cleveland Police pushed for further punishment.

The local cops applied to a Teesside court to have her banned from all grounds for three years.

This, according to their case, was only one incident in a history of football-related racism.

Philips was arrested last year at a Middlesbrough game when she racially abused a steward at the match.

While travelling home drunk from another game, she was abusive to British Transport Police and made threats at a separate group of people.

Though she claims that, after supporting the club for 40 years, a lifetime ban is “very harsh”, her employers at Middlesbrough Council consider it enough to terminate her job.

    You people in the West are doomed to be all Muslims in the near future. The Muslims who will be referred to as animals are too sensitive and have their feelings hurt and traumatize for the most minor things. But they support beheadings and mass murder in the name of Allah.

      Come on dude,
      what are minor crimes like beheadings or legalised child rape
      compared to a tiny little bit criticism towards Aisha??

      You cannot really claim that the lives and health of millions and billions are more
      important than the reputation of a man who died 1350 years ago and can’t complain ,his child-wife or the imaginary god he created.

      Now please take the blue pill and pretend that everything is fine.

    She really thought she could go unpunished for destroying satans favourite book?

    She’d better destroyed some bibles during the match,than she’d be honored with free entrance to all premiere league games for the next 30 years+ an award for tolerance and multi culturalism.

      Dear Ahmed, when you guys stop living off the gov money you would own some right to talk about Britain who sustain your creeping sharia, bully manners, and self victimizing style.
      If you not happy you can always go back to merry Pakistan, which is a shithole anyway. So grow up, only stupid people buy your crap talk.

      And why are so many rich Mohammedans overweight, alcoholic, cocaine-stuffed,pedophilic, sense-forsaken fuckwit lying trash?

      We’re all human – English footie fans are boozing, singing funny and insulting songs about the opposition, eating too much porky comfort food and generally finding ways to let off steam (and, by Christ do they ever need to with Slimeball Cameron as PM) – notably WITHOUT killing anyone. All of which are forbidden by Mohand the Nutjob, whose idea of a good time is an AK 47, a beheading knife and thou, little boy, underneath me in the wilderness.

      Spot the difference, little trollie-wollie?

    UK should not be enforcing the discriminatory blasphemy laws in Sharia. A new law or Bill of Rights is required in UK to protect the right to blaspheme. Why? Read on…

    U.S. law permits the right to blaspheme.

    -Justice Clark in 1952 wrote: “[I]t is enough to point out that the state has no legitimate interest in protecting any or all religions from views distasteful to them. … It is not the business of government in our nation to suppress real or imagined attacks upon a particular religious doctrine.”

    -Justice Frankfurter noted that beliefs that are “dear to one may seem the rankest ‘sacrilege’ to another,” and added concerning “blasphemous” speech: “[H]istory does not encourage reliance on the wisdom and moderation of the censor.”

      Following the murder of over 100 Pakistani school children, I know many Britons are infuriated at Islam and its terrorists. Meanwhile, most Muslims are silent when terrorist atrocities occur. Their silence is approval.

      • zebo says

        Dec 17, 2014 at 11:08 am

        No.Their silence is mostly based on protecting islam(the less we speak the sooner people will forget that this has happened)
        and fear.
        The first and only time i saw muslims really protesting against violent islam(ism)
        was when the british soldier was beheaded.
        It was a small protest but the most interessting thing:many protesters masked their faces.
        Why?because muslims know better than anyone else how violent islam is,how many ticking human timebombs islam produces and how fast violence can escalate and how fast you can loose health or live if a muslim feels a little bit offended therefore they masked themselves.

      Late 15th Century Spain? 1492 – Los Reyes Catholicos – the completion of the Reconquista. Perhaps we and the rest of Europe will need a Reconquista by 2192 the way things are currently going.

    The significant feature in this article is that the soccer association gave her the most horrific penalty they could impose, in obvious hopes that the inevitable Muslim rage would not be directed at them. This is a cowardly, though expected, response.

    The police made it clear they wished for a greater punishment. They obviously hoped that the inevitable violent Muslim rage would not be directed at them. This is a cowardly, though expected, response.

    This kind of general law is destroying freedom.

    You can argue any criticism of a religion causes “”racially aggravated harassment, alarm or distress.”” Thus such a law can, and is, being used by the state to control opinion and destroy freedom.

    The Qur’an is a book…..if it belonged to her then she has every right to destroy it. End of story.

    So if there is an everybody tear a koran day will they then have to ban everybody, and thus ban football?

    • Know Thy Enemy says

      Dec 18, 2014 at 1:53 am

      If hundreds of football fans tear a Koran, then the UK will have to either ban football or they will have to accept koran-tearing as part of watching football just as beer-drinking is! However, I strongly doubt if enough Brits will dare tear the koran, especially after learning what happened to this woman.

      • Huck Folder says

        Dec 19, 2014 at 11:56 pm

        It’s ALWAYS like that – divide and conquer. Others are afraid to do that.

        If a hundred did, they might be able to arrest them all, if a thousand did it, what could they do, a mass trial, select one or two for ritual punishment?

        • Know Thy Enemy says

          Dec 20, 2014 at 3:04 am

          Good point! They might just select a few for ritual punishment even if a thousand did it…. And the media will join the Govt in concentrating on those one or two.

          But what if hundreds of football fans *post pictures* (on FB, twitter, Instagram) of themselves tearing up the Koran? Then what would the Govt do? Even if they select one or two for punishment, the people will know about all others who got away! Good Luck then to the media and to govt try and protect Korans ^)^

          But the big question is- Is it possible at all to find a few hundred people willing to take a collective sincere pledge to tear Korans at football??

    Whatever happens in the rest of Europe, Britain is doomed. You can be punished and fired from your job for ripping a book? That is the height of tyranny, exactly what you get when you have politicians who have expressly stated they studied George Orwell’s 1984 for ideas on how to run the country.

    Wow, true followers of the ‘Quran would have a field day with this woman, tearing up a ‘Quran, alcohol, in such a circumstance the advice is to be sure and stay in green grassy fields well-away from rocks and stones.

    ”The 51-year-old tore pages from the Koran during Boro’s 2-2 draw away to Birmingham last year”

    What *I* would like to know, is *who* dobbed her in. It is stretching logic to assume some leftard, or mohammedan, just *happened* to be sitting next to her in the stands, and saw her doing this. Did she talk about what she was going to do, and give some cretin the opportunity to ‘strike a blow against islamophobia’ ?

    ”She was subsequently banned for life from Middlesborough, but Cleveland Police pushed for further punishment.

    The local cops applied to a Teesside court to have her banned from all grounds for three years.”

    Ah. And how many mohammedans are there in Cleveland Police ? I don’t know, and haven’t been able to google an answer, but we already have a muslim police association …

    She certainly sounds like an unpleasant character, but what she did, should not, in any sane society, result in her **losing her job**. What she should do is take the Council to an industrial tribunal.

    And does anyone doubt, if she had decided to tear pages out of the *Bible*, absolutely nothing would have happened to her ?

    I’ve read in some Islamic countries soccer stadiums are used to carry our public sharia executions, perhaps she was protesting?

    I bet if she read the Quran out loud there would have been a greater insult to “racial” cohesion, anyway how much longer before British courts start using soccer stadiums in true Islamic fashion, for public stonings and beheadings?

    Have you ever run out of loo roll? Keep a copy of the Koran in the bathroom cabinet for such emergencies. I do!

    There used to be a tradition of throwing loo roles at football matches. Perhaps this hapless bimbo got confused?

    And yet hundreds of football fans in the UK can chant anti-semitic slogans at matches, and the most they can hope to receive is a few hours community service or a paltry prison sentence, suspended for 12 months if they promise to ‘behave’ themselves at future matches!

  24. Bezelel says

    Dec 18, 2014 at 2:29 pm

    You can dress her up but can’t take her anywhere. She still managed to do a good deed by tearing pages from the satanic verses. The Lord does work in mysterious ways!!!

      Yes. Another sign (of many) that the problem is not just the “Elites” — but the Ordinary People too.
