No surprise here. The UK media and political establishment is completely compromised.
“Media, Police Pump Up ‘Islamophobia’ Numbers, Ignore Higher Anti-Semitic Attacks,” Breitbart, September 7, 2015:
The mainstream media howled with outrage this morning, republishing the Metropolitan Police’s press release talking up the “rise” in “Islamophobic” attacks in Britain’s capital over the last year. The problems however, are that the police won’t release the details of the Islamophobic incidents, and for some reason, they buried the greater rise in anti-Semitic attacks in London over the past year.
“Islamophobic crime in London ‘up by 70%’” screamed the BBC.
“Hate crimes against Muslims soar in London,” roared the Guardian.
“Islamophobic Britain: Where Muslim women are spat on, punched and covered in faeces,” exclaimed the Telegraph.
And worse still, the Metropolitan Police themselves headlined their press release: “Met’s response to rise in Islamophobic hate crime in London”.
Odd, isn’t it? Given that while Islamophobia apparently rose by 70.7 per cent (478 reported offences in 2014, compared with 816 offences this year), the number of racist attacks against Jewish people was actually up by 93.4 per cent (from 258 attacks to 499).
So while the numbers are lower, that sounds to me like the increase in anti-Semitic attacks is steeper than the increase in Islamophobia. Both, however, are a minute percentage of the total 13,007 hate crimes reported in the last year.
So why would the Metropolitan Police be so keen to promote the anti-Islamic attacks, and squash the anti-Jewish figures? And why are mainstream journalists following the police in tow?
No, I don’t actually know either.
But it is worth noting that there are only around 300,000 Jewish people in the United Kingdom, and about 3 million Muslims here….
Rebecca says
if there are only 300,000 jews there as compared to 3 million muslims, then the numbers are attacks against Jews are WAY HIGHER in proportion to their population.
also, the attacks against muslims include spitting, insults… etc. the attacks against Jews include VIOLENT ATTACKS, including an attack against 3 Jewish boys this week, leaving one in an induced coma with bleeding in the brain. if something like that would happen to a muslim, there would be riots in the streets,
burning cars, flags…etc
Marty says
Totally agree.
There is an agenda here with even the pro Tory at all costs Daily Mail
running a story & video of the occupant of a burka being attacked.
Just two things.
1. The video is 2 or 3 years old.
2 The assailant was later identified as a black Nigerian immigrant
who knew the burka wearer.
The UK is being colonised, as is Europe, by our Oldest Enemy,
whose values are hostile to all we believe.

I’m glad someone else has noticed this piece of Daily Mail manipulation. And look at the internet version, and you’ll see that quite a few people have called the Mail’s bluff. They’ve blown the whole thing open with their comments because they’ve sussed that it’s an old story that has been deliberately exhumed for a bit of muslim ‘victim’ publicity (very desirable with all the muslim ‘refugees’ about to arrive from Syria). The story about the three Jewish boys being viciously attacked has been reported but buried on inside pages of more than one paper, but the identity of the assailant(s) has not been mentioned. Now, there’s a funny thing!! And another thing that’s been buried on inside pages is a court report of a gang of six ‘Asians’ (we know what they REALLY mean, don’t we?) in the Aylesbury area (north-west of London) who have been sent down for a combined total of 82 years for paedophile grooming crimes. There’s some court action due about now in the Rotherham area, hence all the recent celebrity witch-hunting (Edward Heath this time!). This seems to have gone quiet because they’ve been able to hide the paedophiles behind the drone-attack villains (albeit that they’re muslims) since it’s all quite dramatic.
Yes, there IS something odd going on!!!

The MSN are on a mission to counter the pictures of the invading “refugees” (mostly economic migrants with a sprinkling of jihadis) to prepare them to be more tolerant of the coming intolerance.
ich says
WOW-this is getting nuts
Soon we will all be rounded up and sent to sea on a leaky boat
where we can watch the new world of peace headed by Islam
Angemon says
Remember when “Tell MAMA” roared about the hundreds of islamophobic attacks and it turned out over half of them were posts on Twitter and Facebook? The police probably does, and it doesn’t help they’re infiltrated both by political correctness and muslims with dubious allegiances.

Maybe if jihadistas stopped doing horrible hateful things in the name of mahometanism, there would not be islamophobia.
MKG says
True enough Fr. Basil, I was suggesting westerners and Christians should start waving signs of their own.
mortimer says
Conservatives are being exploited by Muslim activists to impose Sharia blasphemy laws.
The activists mean to shut down all legitimate questioning of Islamic doctrines, human rights violations and backward customs.
gravenimage says
Good point–there are both conservatives and liberals who foolishly consider Muslims allies.
What fools these dhimmis be!
somehistory says
The most recent book on terrorism used by some universities in the States gives an example of “religious terrorism and hate crimes” somewhat like this: Several young Jewish men approach a muslim and beat/harass him, saying hateful things.
This is not an exact quote, but the aggressors are depicted as Jews and the victim is muslim.
However, we all know the reverse is nearly always the case…I for one never have read or heard of a group of young Jews harassing or beating a muslim.
The image of the beast must be upheld and maintained until it is time for it to be destroyed.
mortimer says
Jews and Christians are being intimidated and silenced in UK. There is as much vandalism of churches, much unreported to police.
abad says
Muslims really need to stop calling attention to themselves. They are attention whores. Then they complain how they are treated in return. They asked for it.

UK media hype “Islamophobia” numbers, ignore higher anti-Semitic attacks
……………………
Grotesquely typical pandering to the group that is actually the most violent.
What do you want to be that much of this “Islamophobia” is just the comments of Infidels concerned about Muslim violence–as here?

”What do you want to be that much of this “Islamophobia” is just the comments of Infidels concerned about Muslim violence–as here?”
Yes, indeed, graven. And not only that, from the Telegraph article, one mohammedan bint has this to say;
“I’ve been on the bus and had people refuse to sit next to me when I’ve had my scarf on. I was walking with a friend once, when a man on a bike slammed his brakes and tried to ram it into us,” she tells me.
“I’ve had people swearing at me and insulting me. You don’t need to always hear what they say because they look at you like you’re pure filth.”
Let’s just parse that, shall we ?
“I’ve been on the bus and had people refuse to sit next to me when I’ve had my scarf on.” = ‘hate crime’.
Yes, according to this repellent bint, someone *choosing not to sit next to her on the bus* is committing a ‘hate crime’.
” I was walking with a friend once, when a man on a bike slammed his brakes and tried to ram it into us,”
Now, this is decidedly odd. If I wanted to ram my bike into someone, I certainly wouldn’t *slam my brakes on first*. That’s what you do when you’re trying to *avoid* hitting someone. So, he slammed his brakes on, and then what; he picked up the bike and threw it at them ? It’s just ridiculous. More likely this arrogant b**ch and her friend deliberately walked into his path, forcing the poor bloke to brake.
“I’ve had people swearing at me and insulting me. You don’t need to always hear what they say because they look at you like you’re pure filth.”
So, she admits she didn’t ‘always’ hear what these people said, but **assumes** they’re ‘swearing at and insulting’ her, because she doesn’t like the way they look at her ? Even more ridiculous.
And the ‘journalist’ author of this load of tripe simply swallows everthing at face value, and questions *nothing*. That, of course, would be islamophobic’.
As for the rest of this nonsense, in the grauniad and the bbcrap, we’re told poor widdle mohammedan bints have been spat at, had dog faeces thrown at them, and their niqabs and hijabs torn off.
But, *very* strangely, there have been no witnesses to these alleged attacks, and no arrests ! And this, in a UK that arrests and *imprisons* indigenous Britishers for draping a piece of bacon on a mosk doorknob, and for burning a koran, their own personal property, in their own backgarden.
I don’t believe a word of it. This is nothing more than the usual mohammedan malingering, whining, and pretending victimhood, whilst **outright lying**.
But I was pleased to see the majority of comments on the Telegraph article were highly sceptical, and very islamoaware. The journalists may be willing to swallow this shite, but normal, intelligent people are *not*.
Peggy says
I am in total agreement with you, but the last sentence is odd. Correct me if I’m wrong but you seem to imply that we the public are more informed and intelligent thatn the media. It’s the media’s job to inform the pubolic not the other way around so something doesn’t add up here.
How did we get more informed than the media?
I believe that the media is FULLY informed and are not stupid but they are traitors. They are the ones who are trying to confuse us. They are the ones who are trying to brainwash us to make us better slaves to Islam. Let’s not let the off the hook so easily by suggesting that they are naive or not well informed. If they are that clueless that they can’t do their job well and need us to inform them then they should not be in that job.
MKG says
Excellent conversation ladies. I would like to respond to Peggy’s question if I may.
The media no longer fuctions as an information outlet. Good journalism is hard to come by these days. Everywhere you turn there is someone using media to tell you what to think, how to geel anout a story or push an oppinion on you. I have found, in order to get the real dirt on something you have to go to a number of sources that support and oppose the point of interest. I especially find it funny when organizations tell you exactly what their opponents accuse them of. They just put it in nicer terms. Of course you all know this already.
Have a nice day ladies.
MKG says
Sorry. It should read, “how to feel about a story.”

Islam wants infidels to fear Islam
The media who call such fear unreasonable ie- a phobia, are using the word Islamophobia to absorb the reality of their impending doom into the cowardly smokescreen
label Islamophobia, rather than sort the fear and fight.
The flannel flows
Rather than recognize the bully that is here plotting and planning, they threaten the bully there
The here and there are of the same spawn
Should ISIS fall, or should i say- Should Islam transform- then we still have Islam invading.
Just now the UK media front says, “what would we do in their situation?”
Ok the same except for
“bringing Islam with you”
a country recently said only Atheists or Christians allowed in
Sounds right enough
If they want refuge then leave Islam behind, and actively expose Islam for what Islam is, but the Muslim brainwashing is too deep to escape, so the poor dears need psychological help to escape fear of Islam
cheekturner says
The BBC as usual quotes from “Tell Mamma” having as it’s representative Fyaz Mughal. Anyone remember how this same “reliable (or should that be re-liar-ble) source tried, at taxpayers expense, to have a member of Liberty GB sued for calling him a ….”mendacious, grievance-mongering, taqquiya-artist.” Sadly for this fabricator of statistics the Judge deemed him, on the evidence presented by the defendant, to be a… ” mendacious, grievance-mongering, taqquiya-artist”. Sadly for the taxpayer this POS had his legal bill paid for by the taxpayer.

How come the tens of thousands of British children raped by Muslim men is not a race or hate crime.?
Yokel says
Because, by virtue of being White British in the official race classification, these British children cannot possibly be victims of anything, because politically correct “victims” are involved. Even though these politically correct “victims” are actually involved as the aggressor they are still victims.
Don’t you know nuffink?
Mike Trivisonno says
I saw a new AT&T commercial selling their wireless service. They were showing shots of happy people all over the planet using AT&T services. When the commercial got to London, did they show Big Ben, proper English gentlemen, or Piccadilly Circus? No. They decided that what best represented the spirit of London was a bunch hajib wearing muslimas running through the streets.
Face it, we are like those who lived through the fall of Rome, never fully comprehending what was happening. The West has lost you guys, Islam will descend over all the planet. There will be a few places, like Japan that may hold out for a couple hundred years, but eventually no trace of our civilization will be left.

Are they saying we are ‘Islamophobic’ for letting their husbands do this to them? Sorry ladies, can’t help you, it’s in the Qur’an.
