Jihad Watch

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

UK video: “You’re a Jew, not a Muslim…Jew, Jew, Jew run!”

Mar 6, 2015 12:41 pm By Robert Spencer

“No one could accuse me of targeting Muslim neighbourhoods to provoke a reaction. This was the centre of an ordinary English city and I was minding my own business.” Yet Bradford and Manchester both have significant Muslim populations, and the responses from their leaders make that clear — all their blather about their wonderfully diverse populations, etc. Even though the faces of the anti-Semites are obscured in this video (why?), it is clear that what is going on here is an expression of Islamic anti-Semitism in Britain.

“EXCLUSIVE: ‘Fight the Jewish scum!’ Shocking anti-Semitism on streets of BRITAIN as Jewish journalist is spat at, abused and even stalked… and the same happens in Copenhagen,” by Jonathan Kalmus, Mailonline, March 6, 2015 (thanks to Mick):

With as many as 45 per cent of British Jews fearing they ‘may not have a future in Britain’, according to a survey by the Campaign Against Antisemitism – and following an experiment by Israeli Zvika Klein on the streets of Paris, British journalist Jonathan Kalmus decided to test the levels of prejudice in two British cities with shocking results. Volunteers in Copenhagen and Rome also suffered some abuse, as well as welcoming reactions, while Jewish journalists in Stockholm and Berlin walked for hours without incident.

‘You Jew’ was the anti-Semitic scream which came from a passing car. My shaken wife tried to explain it away to my seven-year-old daughter as a very large sneeze. They were simply playing in a local park in Manchester a few weeks ago when the incident ripped through what should have been a peaceful and wholesome time for any mother and child.

‘Fight the Jewish scum’ and ‘Jew, Jew, Jew… Run’, were the more vicious threats hurled at me in the past few days, however, when I decided to secretly film and find out whether ‘Jew-hatred’ really is alive and kicking on British streets.

The answer to that question is a resounding and heart-sinking yes.

I took the inspiration from the viral videos of Israeli journalist Zvika Klein, who filmed himself being threatened on the streets of Paris, and Muslim Hamdy Mahisen, who filmed himself getting abuse in Milan.

Zvika walked in Paris for 10 hours, Hamdy in Milan for five. It took me just one minute. One minute of walking one single, busy major street in Manchester before abuse was flung at me.

In 25 minutes on that one single street in Longsight, I was spat at by one man and called ‘a Jew’ multiple times by passers by, even by a young boy walking with his father.

I was just walking in the street testing the effect of being clearly identifiable as a Jew by wearing a small traditional Jewish head covering called a kippah.

David Cameron today hit out at the ‘shocking’ discrimination filmed in Manchester and Bradford.

The Prime Minister, speaking to MailOnline, said: ‘There are no excuses for the shocking anti-Semitism revealed in this report.

‘The idea that Jewish people feel unsafe again in Europe strikes at the heart of everything we stand for.

‘We must fight anti-Semitism with everything we have got and make sure Britain remains a country that our Jewish communities are proud to call home.’

Labour leader Ed Miliband told MailOnline: ‘Any act of anti-Semitism on our streets brings shame on those who demonstrate hatred and intolerance towards each other.

‘We need to renew our vigilance and ensure every family of every faith can be secure in our country.

‘We must defend loud and clear and with defiance and determination the values we believe in: tolerance, diversity, freedom of speech and freedom of faith.’

A spokesman for the Board of Deputies of British Jews, said: ‘Many who are visibly Jewish do suffer this kind of abuse and anti-Semitism and figures from the Community Security Trust (CST) indicate that these kinds of incidents are on the increase.’

However, a spokesman for the CST revealed even it was shocked by the number of comments in the time.

‘The fact incidents like this take place of that nature still takes place does not surprise us. The frequency with which they took place – he experience 10 in an hour’s walking – that is worrying,’ the spokesman said.

‘It suggest lots of these types of incidents maybe going unreported.’

In Bradford the situation was more shameful. It took 13 minutes, during which I was stalked by a man who repeatedly took pictures of me. He followed me on foot for five minutes and thirty seconds according to my footage.

There was a shout of ‘you Jew’ at me as I crossed the road to Bradford City Park. Minutes later a man turned his head and yelled ‘fight the Jewish scum’ just behind my back.

Some time later three youths shouted at me across a street repeatedly, ‘You’re a Jew, not a Muslim…Jew, Jew, Jew run!’

I was prepared to walk for hours and expected to get nothing on camera. On Manchester’s curry mile, a haven of mixed cultures and skin colour, it took two-and-half-minutes for a young lad on a bike to ride up to me and shout, ‘You’re a Jew’ in my face. I was left speechless that anti-Semitism is so obvious.

In total, between the two cities I suffered a series of anti-Semitic hate incidents, more than those in Zvika Klein’s video and achieved in one-tenth of the time here in Britain. What a horrible reality.

Why did I pick Bradford? For a simple reason. Last summer during the height of another Gaza conflict between Israel and Palestinians, 5,000 people, predominantly young Muslim men, gathered for a mass rally in Bradford City Park. The city’s MP, George Galloway, spoke while flanked by two butch men wearing T-shirts emblazoned ‘Palestine’s army you are not alone’.

Mr Galloway has repeated on many, many occasions that his message and political struggle is with Israel and Israelis, not Jews. Despite that, statistics show that bringing the Middle East’s struggles onto the streets of Britain has a direct effect on how people treat Jews.

No one could accuse me of targeting Muslim neighbourhoods to provoke a reaction. This was the centre of an ordinary English city and I was minding my own business.

No one could accuse me of wearing something provocative or political. A Jewish person or any peaceful person walking in a British street anywhere, let alone a city centre, should be welcome.

‘ANTISEMITISM HAS NO PLACE IN OUR DIVERSE AND THRIVING MANCHESTER’

Lucy Powell, the Labour MP for Manchester Central, told MailOnline after watching the footage that: ‘This sort of behaviour is abhorrent and needs to be got rid of from Manchester.

‘We’ve had some of this in the past and we’ve dealt with it very strongly and we should do so again.’

Manchester’s deputy leader said there is ‘no place’ for anti-Semitism in his city after hearing about the results of the experiment.

Councillor Bernard Priest spoke out against the horrific comments and actions of some of the city’s residents during Jonathan Kalmus’ walkabout in Manchester.

‘These incidents are not acceptable and have no place in our diverse and thriving city,’ he told MailOnline.

‘Hate crime can take many forms – from anti-Semitism and Islamaphobia to homophobia or attacks on disabled people – but whoever the victim is, it is always despicable and destructive.

‘Manchester is home to a huge number of different cultures, we have a long history of celebrating this diversity and the vast majority of our residents have respect and tolerance for people from different backgrounds.’

Mr Priest said the council works closely with organisations including Greater Manchester Police and the Greater Manchester Police and Crime Commissioner, as well as ‘a large number’ of faith and community groups, to raise awareness of hate crime.

A number of third party reporting centres have also been set up, and all victims are encouraged to report any incidents as ‘that is the only way we can understand the scale of the problem’, Mr Priest said.

He added: ‘I hope this journalist will contact the police to provide details of what happened to him.’

But it is no surprise. The latest statistics from the Jewish Community Security Trust show 2014 was the most anti-Semitic year in Britain on record. 1,168 anti-Semitic incidents in 2014 – that is 37 per cent higher than all the attacks in France in the same year. Anti-Semitism in Britain is growing fast. Incident rates have doubled from 2013 to 2014.

It is completely understandable that anyone who does not feel the threat would not realise the extent of anti-Semitism, how common it is and how it effects Jews in our country every day.

But anti-Semitic attacks and verbal abuse are everyday concerns for British Jews.

As I encountered anti-Semitism for nothing but walking in a street, many other people walked past me and did nothing. They heard the comments, and were caught on camera turning back and looking as others hurled abuse. When someone spat on my back no one stopped to intervene.

Many thoughts raced through my mind as I continued to walk and film, but one thought screamed out silently. If you see racism on our streets, stand up against it. And even if you do not see it, stand up against it.

‘BRADFORD IS A CITY OF SANCTUARY BUILT BY WAVES OF MIGRANTS’

Bradford’s council leader defended the city after being told of the experiment’s results, saying community relations are ‘generally very good’ and being strengthened all the time.

Councillor David Green maintains Bradford is a multi-cultural hub which is proud of its diverse and welcoming communities – despite what the MailOnline’s undercover investigation revealed.

Mr Green – who noted the area’s wealth was built on the hard work of ‘successive waves of migrants’ – pointed towards the example of the Grade I listed Bradford Reform Synagogue as an illustration of improving relations in the West Yorkshire city.

The synagogue, which is Yorkshire’s oldest purpose-built shul, had its long-term future secured by the fundraising efforts led by the Muslim community, who worked closely with their Jewish neighbours.

‘This further strengthened the local relationship between Jewish and Muslim Bradfordians,’ said Mr Green.

He added: ‘Bradford is a City of Sanctuary and has a long and proud history of welcoming people as new residents and visitors.

‘There are generally very good community relations in our city.

‘Like everywhere else, there are individuals who would discriminate against other people based on their religion, ethnic origin, gender or disability, but as a council we will always challenge this when it is brought to our attention.’ …

    After the Jews are eliminated the Muslims can then concentrate, fully, on the rest of the najis kuffars. The civil wars might be coming sooner than I thought.

      The UK is awash in anti-Semitism. Jew-bashing has become a hobby for many, and fashionable for others. This is before we enter Islam into the anti-Semitism/Israel demographic. Muslims are bent on finishing the Final Solution, while the nation’s leaders bury their heads deeper and deeper. Meanwhile, the entirety of the spineless Western leadership mollycoddles and appeases, fearing they will offend Islam.
      Political-correctness is synonymous to cultural-suicide. The UK, there is very little hope for this once great nation. It is only a matter of time before it is subjugated by the enemy within… Radical and not radicalized Islam.

      I think war is just around the corner; 6 to 12 months. Would prefer NEVER, but since that is not possible, the sooner the better. The longer it goes, the more we will be outnumbered, outgunned (with tax paid weapons), out lawed, and attacks from D.C., state capitols and even counties. So, crank up the survival and war machine. Only way for us to win is for a miracle from Heaven. Whatever that will be. I am not going easy.

    Well, I’m sure the Muslim Whine Factory will soon be incensed with………… the British police and education system for “not doing more” to prevent British youth from acting like genocidal savages.

    The defining characteristic of the Muslim presence in Europe: shamelessness

    This talk about celebrating our diversity and blah blah blah is so offensive to our most basic sensibilities. Muslims do not celebrate diversity. They exploit it. It’s an avenue of entryism. They shout diversity when it benefits THEM. They do not stick up for non-Muslims. When they aren’t exploiting diversity for their own gains they behave within some range of venom and apathy toward the diverse kuffar. Get real, everyone. Open their damned book- crushing diversity is its stated end.

      “This talk about celebrating our diversity and blah blah blah is so offensive to our most basic sensibilities.”

      Georg – Think back to an old saw: “Birds of a feather stick together.” This sounds simplistic, but I believe this platitude expresses how all of us in the food chain. yes, including all the varieties of humans, were fashioned by Mother Nature, whoever she is. I find myself thinking about birds of a feather these days when arguments for diversity are thrown at me. It’s only the last thirty years, maybe forty, that “diversity” has taken on intrinsic virtue (ridiculous, really potty, in my view, like the newly-morphed, negative meaning “discrimination” has taken on), yet people accept this spurious, thinly-veiled propagandistic dictate and make it a fundamental of the “progressive” (read socialist and communist, presided over by one Stalin or another) religion.

      This atheistic religion is every bit as totalitarian and .tyrannical as Islam, and their eyes glaze over in exactly the same way when they don’t want to address or discuss something, and you know they are going to slide around the subject.. To me, diversity is just a descriptive concept; political correctness is absolutely toxic and a powerful weapon being used effectively to destroy free speech and our Constitutional Republic. Hope I haven’t gone too far o.t. I am US native but lived in Edinburgh in the 70s. When I as an American long used to hearing “racist” being thrown about to describe all and sundry – as long as one’s white, especially a bad old American – how deeply engrained preferences were in Scotland for one’s own kind, “birds of a feather” kept occurring to me, informing my thinking!.

      I have observed the most irrefutable evidence of birds of a feather presiding all over the world, including actual birds, from tribal attitudes all over Africa to midwestern neighborhoods in the heartland, to Europe, where history documents it. Did you ever hear how Northern Italians think about Southern Italians? Polish nabes in Chicago? It is atrocious that powers beyond any control are flooding our country with aliens and stuffing them down our throats in the name of blessed “diversity”. A preference for one’s own kind, which should not be confused with intolerance for any other kind, is probably deeply and inextricably embedded in our sense of self-preservation, elemental and implacable in human nature and animal nature.Cheers – qr

        Mar 6, 2015 at 3:52 pm

        I totally agree, Georg. And the benefits of Muslim ‘diversity’ are what exactly?

        Ah yes, a mosque on every corner, a more varied choice of eateries, the imposition of Halal killing chains facing Mecca, and the extortion racket of Halal certification. Not to mention the ever present threat of ‘revenge’ attacks, and the Islam-sanctioned right to roam in packs abusing unwitting kufr girls who enjoy being demeaned.

        We should be grateful for the ‘colour’ they bring to our formerly drab societies.

      miriam, if that worked, then there would be no Jihad in Israel itself, which is hardly the case. Pious Muslims don’t consider Israel a great country—any more than they regard England or America to be great countries.

      To the extent that they admire these societies at all, it is not for their freedoms or achievements, but only that they are rich countries and will make for lots of booty when conquered by Muslims.

    Even though the faces of the anti-Semites are obscured in this video (why?)

    I’m guessing it’s because they were not middle class blue collar workers. I bet that if someone from, for example, the EDL said something like that we’d never hear the end of it – right-wing anti-semitism is a threat that must be fought, muslims would also try to claim victims status as well, etc.

    Mar 6, 2015 at 3:40 pm

    Well one to the Mail Online for the video. It just demonstrates what many of us have realised for years……Islam is an anti-Semitic religion. Not all who call themselves Muslims are anti-Semitic, of course they are not. But that s what the Religion of Peace preaches.

    One day soon the world, including our idiotic dhimmie politicians will realise

    If not, we are stuffed.

      Mar 8, 2015 at 1:14 pm

      “Not all who call themselves Muslims are anti-Semitic, of course they are not.”

      How do you know that?

      If true, which ones are they? The nice ones who smile and lie through their teeth?

      How would we concretely translate such platitudes as Neil Jennison expresses? What concrete policies would we enact? What concrete policies would we avoid?

      Such platitudes as Neil Jennison expresses do apply to every other people & culture on the planet; but not to Muslims. We must learn to cultivate prejudice against all Muslims. This does not have to mean — as “Drekken” and the other apocalyptic warmonger commenters above would have it, that we have to genocide Muslims. But it does mean we have to round them up and deport them, sooner or later. I say this not even because such anti-Semitism is ugly (remember my rhetorical questions to Neil Jennison up top, rendering our ability to distinguish good Muslims from bad Muslims pragmatically impossible), but because such ugly anti-Semitism is joined at the hip to a doctrine of jihad directly related to ongoing terror attacks against us, with plots more horrible in the offing we must reasonably suppose — a “strategy of sidération” as French analyst Alexandre Del Valle has called it calculated to sow terror in our societies in order to destabilize us enough for more concerted invasion to happen.

      But Neil Jennison is more worried about his own ethical narcissism (how being tolerant of the (ostensibly) nice Muslims make him feel like a good person) than he is about the greater safety of his society.

      “I have met “Muslims” who are Muslims in name only. Nice people, (who cooked great curries i might add – fantastic Shami Kebabs!)” — Nell Jennison

    The “Greater Manchester Police”, after watching a few Tommy Robinson u-tubes, I got the distinct impression of British police, used to obstruct the indigenous population, and protect moslem population. British courts and (in)justice system as well. Am I wrong?

    • Yokel says

      Mar 6, 2015 at 4:12 pm

      It is a bit more complicated than that. The upper levels of the British police have all had their “Common Purpose” training (look it up), which means that their loyalty may not necessarily be to uphold the law in a strictly impartial manner. If they applied the laws they used to get Tommy Robinson behind bars to everyone, there would be an “interesting” mix of new residents in Her Majesty’s hostels!

      Think of it in gang terms. The British police happen to be the most well paid, best armed gang on the block. They have the best gang clothes, and know which side their bread is buttered. Don’t mess with them, and keep as far away from them as you can. Never ask them for help.

    • voegelinian says

      Mar 8, 2015 at 1:28 pm

      They do this because they are operating on the basis of two fears:

      1) a semi-conscious fear of Muslim volence

      2) a PC MC fear of a white “backlash” against Muslims (I say “white” because the PC MCs themselves irrationally racialize this issue, though they wouldn’t admit as much).

      Because of #2, and because of PC MC in general, the mainstream cannot admit to themselves that it is Muslim violence they truly fear. Besides, their overarching policies render them unable to grapple rationally with the problem of Muslims, since that would begin to require taking measures that would seem “racist” (i.e., paying too much attention to Muslims qua Muslims, targeting them with policies of our own security and self-defense).

      In this pathetically half-assed situation they themselves foster, the PC MCs have no choice but to always try to err on the side of handicapping the non-Muslims, in the hopes that this will avert the “Poking the Hornet’s Nest” phenomenon. Muslims, in this conception, are like a Hornet’s Nest — “don’t poke the Hornet’s Nest, and maybe everything will be okay”.

      I.e., Don’t Provoke the Muslims, and maybe they will stop trying to kill us. So, whenever any non-Muslims start to do things that would have the effect of provoking that Hornet’s Nest, the mainstream authorities try to defuse the non-Muslims, because they don’t want to seem “racist” by going after the real instigators — which the mainstream knows, deep down, though it won’t admit it, is a brewing, metastasizing Pandora’s Box. The mainstream is childishly hoping that Business As Usual will keep the lid on this Pandora’s Box; not realizing (afraid to realize) that it is getting horribly worse as time goes along.

    Sounds like the usual tension between the taquiya artists, who schmooze with the naive local rabbis, and the Muslims who just want to be Muslims.

    When one looks at the mealy-mouthed responses of community “leaders”, it appears that the taquiya artists have been irrelevant for years. Muslims can now simply be Muslims, and any journalist with enough integrity to break the ice will just get the usual responses: “We have excellent community relations, but we have to do more to fight any sort of prejudice or racism, be it antisemitism, or Islamophobia.”

    The most that they’ll do, if that much, will be to sponsor a law or ordinance forbidding any expression of “hatred”, but which will be selectively used to stifle any criticism of Islam.

      We already have it, RonaldB. 🙁

      The ‘hate speech’ laws have been used to imprison a man who was putting stickers saying ”halal funds terrorism” on halal goods in a supermarket, a man who filmed himself burning a Koran in his own back garden, and two young people who draped bacon rashers on the door handle of a mosque were imprisoned for 18 months. I’m sure there have been other cases.

      As far as I’m aware, *no-one* has been imprisoned for anti-Semitic ‘hate speech’, and of course, the likes of Choudhary is allowed to march the streets calling for the death of British soldiers.

    A Muslim gets in your face, insults and threatens you, knock them on their ass. If you run and cower, they’ll just come after you.

      Did you ever notice that a bully will pick on the one person who “probably” won’t retaliate? This will keep on happening until that person stands up and fights the bully. Then the bully turns tail and cries for his mommy. SAME THING
      What the bully(Islam) does not realize is that many of us Christians are FED UP with all this Mudslime bullshit. Their time is short, and they know it.
      Funny thing is as a Christian I know that most of the work will be done for me. This does not mean that I don’t have to do anything, just that my job will be easier.

    I STAND WITH ISRAEL.

    Hope that clears any doubt what so ever. I am not a Jew but a Christian. I have worked for Jews and muslims. Jews pay agreed fee but bargin hard. Muslims promise the earth and avoid payment.

    I have heard Jews speak of Israel as home BUT never heard them demonstrating and shouting how bad the English are demanding their own laws. I regularly hear muslims do it.

    I have known Jews set up services such as ambulances to treat Jews in accordance with their customs and traditions. I also know muslims demand NHS services conform with muslim requirements and that services are tailored to their cultural needs.

    I have never heard or seen reported about Jews grooming children for sexual abuse, all the grooming rings in the news are predominantly MUSLIM.

    I know for a fact, if Palestine and their related muslim organisations put their guns down there will be peace. If Israel put their guns down there would be slaughter.

    I am sick and tired of lefties and pedophile following hairballs and females looking like walking post boxes thinking its ok to knock the Jews because they are quiet, dignified insular people who just get on with things and dont cause trouble.

    Whilst the victimised muslims drain the country of everything they can, contribute nothing positive and deserve to be sent to Syria to the bs muslim caliphate.

    UK video: “You’re a Jew, not a Muslim…Jew, Jew, Jew run!”
    …………………………..

    That pretty much sums up the Muslim attitude toward Jewish people. And note—this is not just anti-Jewish—it implies a very immediate violent threat, as did so many of the other examples above.

    More:

    The city’s MP, George Galloway, spoke while flanked by two butch men wearing T-shirts emblazoned ‘Palestine’s army you are not alone’.
    …………………………..

    George Galloway is *appalling*. And note, this is not some vague comment about “Palestinian freedom” or some such, which is stupid but not necessarily evil. Instead, this is a direct reference to “Palestine’s army”—i.e., violent Jihadists who are running down Israeli civilians and cutting the throats of babes in arms.

    More:

    ‘Hate crime can take many forms – from anti-Semitism and Islamaphobia to homophobia or attacks on disabled people – but whoever the victim is, it is always despicable and destructive.
    …………………………..

    What witless moral equivalence—it is not as though Muslims are facing this kind of threat from Britons. It just isn’t happening.

    More:

    But anti-Semitic attacks and verbal abuse are everyday concerns for British Jews.
    …………………………..

    And this is coming *almost entirely* from Muslims.

    More:

    As I encountered anti-Semitism for nothing but walking in a street, many other people walked past me and did nothing. They heard the comments, and were caught on camera turning back and looking as others hurled abuse. When someone spat on my back no one stopped to intervene.
    …………………………..

    Especially appalling. These are either other Muslims who agree with the abuse, or else they are too cowed to face the abusers, or even to voice solidarity with the victim.

    When Muslim population grows following happens:

    – 1~5%: deceptively smiling faces and model citizens e.g. UK, US, Canada etc.

    – 5-25%: increase in ghetto-isation of Muslims in town pockets and intimidation of non Muslims forcing them out of neighbourhoods e.g. India, France, Sweden e.g.

    – 25-50%: demand for autonomy and sharia laws will start to get louder and even insurgency and ethnic cleansing begins e.g. Nigeria, Philliphines (provinces), Thailand (provinces), Russia (provinces). China (provinces), India (provinces) etc.

    – more than 50%: partition of nations: India, Yugoslavia etc. Post partition, Muslims will either forcibly convert non Muslims or drive them out of their sharia compliant lands e.g. Pakistan, Bangladesh had 15-35 % Hindus – all if them gave either fled to India or other countries. Population of non Muslims us below 10% in these countries.

    Muslims breed like rabbits or rats or pigs (sorry if it sounds derogatory) – one Muslim family has an average of 3-5 children while nun Muslims have 1-2 children.

    Islam the way it is growing will enslave humanity by biologically outnumbering non Muslims. Eventually in midst of Muslims there will rise a leader similar to Hitler with imperialist ambitions and this person will mark the beginning of the end for Islam but this will be accomplished at a great cost to human lives.

    Humanity has grown beyond biological limits on this earth and has endangered every other species. Islam’s job is to destroy (Muslims may have their own loony reasons).

    Nature is balance and balance is nature – creation, maintenance and destruction. Islam serves the last role of nature.

    Humanity needs a reason to destroy, Islam is a good a reason as any. Islam did not invent nuclear bombs, cause world wars etc. but under an evil leadership will certainly go the distance in using it.

    May sound negative, but this is nature – what has a beginning has an end, you can attribute reasons to thing you don’t understand but that won’t stop them from happening.

    It comes as no surprise to me as I have personally witnessed a similar developments in my country and the surrounding South East Asian region over the years. I remember more than 40 years ago, the Muslims I grew up with similar to other Muslims from outside the Arab world, had their individual local tradition and culture blended into Islam, thus very different and liberal from the ones you see in Arab. However, ever since then I have been witnessing a slow but gradual change towards a direct core interpretation of the Quranic text and gradual stripping away of the local cultural and traditional influences thus slow but steadily moving towards ”Arabization”. The ones who grew up and had meals with me then are no longer even visiting let alone sharing the meal. My years of experience and first hand knowledge of ‘moderate’ Islam taught me that there is no such thing as moderate Islam, as far as Islam is concerned moderate is actually ‘dirty’ infected Islam. Cleansing of impurity can only be done by reverting to pure core interpretation of Al quran. When the impurities are purged, the move and understanding of Islam inevitably lead you to what prescribed by people like Imam Anjem Chaudory. The fact remains, Islam doesn’t and cannot co-exist on a sharing basis either as equal or on a lower level with any other ideology as it will directly conflict as it submits only to the law of Allah’s Sharia and not any other man made law. Europeans and American are still so naive and totally lack understanding on the fundamentals of Islam hence promoting and popularising advocates of moderate Islam with tv shows and coming up with terms like extremist, religion of peace and other nonsense, Yet not realising that this very terminology creates perfect veil for the jihadi spin doctors to infiltrate and build strong enough foundation for their agenda. The search for moderate Islam is futile, after all moderate Islam is nothing but contaminated Islam or in another words un- Islamic. This coming from someone not from the turmoil filled middle east but from a moderate Muslim nation who has witnessed the inevitable evolution of Islam into its true and only form.

However, ever since then I have been witnessing a slow but gradual change towards a direct core interpretation of the Quranic text …”

      What raja fails to mention is that the reason Islamic society in SE Asia was comparatively less malignant was because of despotic dictatorship suppressing the natural appetite for Islam amongst its people (e.g., Sukarno, Suharto). As those dictatorships have been deconstructed, the natural Islam in the natural appetite of Mohammedans, as surely as a chemical reaction, has slowly but surely reasserted itself.

      To analyse that phenomenon any other way is to lapse into the “radical Islamism is caused by political factors” explanation (code for “it’s really America’s fault”)

    “The synagogue, which is Yorkshire’s oldest purpose-built shul, had its long-term future secured by the fundraising efforts led by the Muslim community, who worked closely with their Jewish neighbours.”

    Does anyone know who these good, morally minded Muslims were that are being spoken of here?

    They should be encouraged.

      Accounts are all pretty vague, Mark—the idea is that the “Muslims community” saved the Synagogue, but all all the references to funding show that the money came from the state lottery and the Bradford City council—not Muslim sources at all.

    The UK “authorities” in their government sure do talk a lot about intolerance, and, yet, they do absolutely NOTHING about it, especially if it is turned on Jews. They only seem to say something or take action when it is turned on Muslims, in spite of the fact that most of the Jew hatred in the UK and in the rest of Europe is fueled and perpetrated by them as well as hatred and violence against Christians and democracies. This will not end until people demand that their government take measures against the actual perpetrators and to quite being so damned “PC.” Also, Jews and others need to stop cowering and to stand up for themselves. Everyone should also know some self defense.

    @yokel and liatris–

    As a Yank with very little British blood (and what I have, I suspect, is mostly from people who got kidnapped and carried off to Scandinavia as slaves during the 700’s-800’s) but a lot of appreciation for history, I only mourn looking at your exchange above. There is just too much that is good and excellent in our American political heritage that comes from our having started out as thirteen overwhelmingly Protestant British colonies, and the more we discard that heritage, the more we lose our fundamental liberties.

    When I taught government, I always made it a point to have my classes compare our own Bill of Rights with Magna Carta and the English Bill of Rights of 1689. When I teach world history, I always point out that a lot of what we call “enlightenment” political thinking about political contract was anticipated by a host of English Puritans and Scots Presbyterians a century earlier.

    Arabs are Semites as well.
    Muslim Arabs are also Semites.
    Your argument is invalid.

    • voegelinian says

      Mar 8, 2015 at 1:37 pm

      It’s common knowledge that the term “anti-Semitism” is specially reserved for the phenomenon of Jew hatred. That Arabs “are Semites too” is a silly canard of a red herring — when it’s not actually a sly counter-propaganda tactic.

      • Joe says

    Many British Jews learned a long time ago that Jew hatred was driven by Muslims and their partners in crime, Muslims. However those of us who woke up to the fact that our own “representative” organisations, who have the job of presenting our image to the outside world, have let us down time and time again, have been vilified and stamped on when we told the truth. We’re still fighting the fight, but it’s frightening how many of the delusional “liberals” call us racists and are blind to what’s happening. Every time there’s an incident or an outrage, such as the Islamist butchery of Lee Rigby, we see representatives of our communities standing side by side with Muslims and broadcasting how we must “all” make common cause against something that doesn’t chime with the “peaceful” religion of Islam. Enough. There comes a time when we have to accept that those of us in the know have a duty to our families first and foremost. There’s a limit to how much a person can bang his head against a brick wall.

    We do what we can, by blogging and talking to anybody who will listen. It’s vitally important that as British Jews we let our non-Jewish neighbours know that we identify with their concerns regarding a common enemy. The British government, driven by hubris and greed for Arab money, talks the talk but is unable/unwilling to walk the walk. it’s up to us now.

    What a pity the culprits faces were blanked out. And Manchester is about the most crime-riddled place in Britain. What this proves, along with several incidents over this past year especially, is that Europe isn’t safe for Jews, a full 70 years after the Holocaust.
