UK: Imam who favors death for apostasy to investigate death threats to apostates

Apr 29, 2016 9:49 am By Robert Spencer

The contemporary UK would make for a riotous comedy show if it weren’t so tragic.

Maulana Shahid Raza“Muslim Council Of Britain Appoints Pro ‘Death To Apostates’ Imam To Investigate ‘Death To Apostates’ Group,” by Liam Deacon, Breitbart, April 28, 2016 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

The UK’s largest Muslim organisation has appointed a panel to investigate a sectarian hate group making death threats against alleged “apostates”, led by a man who has supported the group and believes apostates should be killed.

The Muslim Council of Britain (MCB) is the, “largest national representative of British Muslim associations, mosques and schools”, and a government report last year found they are connected to the international caliphate-agitating Muslim Brotherhood.

After the murder of Glasgow shop keeper Asad Shah, a member of the persecuted Ahmadi sect, the MCB was criticised for being affiliated to Khatme Nubbawat – an organisation with the sole purpose of annihilating of the Ahmadi Community, who they refer to with derogatory language as “Qadiyani cult”.

The MCB itself officially classes Ahmadis as “apostates”, a charge punishable by death in many Muslim nations, but insists violence must not be used against them in the UK.

Khatme Nubbawat has been directly implicated in inciting violence in Pakistan that has led to the murder of Ahmadis. In the UK, they are known as the Stockwell Green Mosque, and were distributing literature calling for “capital punishment” of Ahmadi’s in top London universities just last year.

After the high profile murder, the MCB ordered the “temporary suspension of its affiliate” Khatme Nubuwwa,  and set up an “Independent Investigation Panel” tasked with:

“Determin[ing] whether the named affiliate has been and/or remains engaged in such activities that make its continued affiliation with the MCB undesirable and not in accord with the Shariah and the duty to promote and work for the common good of the society”.

They claim that: “Spreading of hatred and espousal of violence on any ground is neither permitted nor sanctioned by Shariah and the laws in the United Kingdom.

However, one of the men leading the panel, Maulana Shahid Raza Naeemi OBE, a sharia judge and imam, told the Dewsbury Reporter in 2011, that: “Sharia law says that if a Muslim changes their religion it is treason and the punishment for treason is death”, when asked if a man who converts from Islam to Christianity must receive the death sentence.

Furthermore, as pointed out by secular campaigner Sadaf Ahmed, Mr. Naeemi has spoken at Khatme Nubbawat hate events himself, where he appears to demonstrate support for the very organisation he is now tasked with “independent[ly]” investigating.

Mr Naeemi was awarded an OBE by Prince Charles in 2008 for “his years of tireless work in interfaith dialogue, for the support and leadership he has shown for Muslims in Britain, and his services to British society at large”. He was also given a honorary degree by the University of Leicester this year.

The Crown Prosecution Service has repeatedly declined to bring criminal charges against Khatme Nubbawat, a decision which has been criticised by Lord Avebury, former vice chairman of the government’s Parliamentary Human Rights Group, who said the decision showed Britain’s laws against inciting religious hatred were “not effective”….

    So much for freedom of “Religion”

    We the “Apostates” are told how to believe.

    Islam: The lie from the pit of hell.

    Jesus: He came. He died. He rose. Because He loves.

    The Crown Prosecution Service has repeatedly declined to bring criminal charges against Khatme Nubbawat, a decision which has been criticised by Lord Avebury, former vice chairman of the government’s Parliamentary Human Rights Group, who said the decision showed Britain’s laws against inciting religious hatred were “not effective”

    They might be effective if they were consistently applied. Anyway, shouldn’t the police be investigating the death threats? Why does that fall under a panel from a muslim organization?

    • Keith says

      Apr 29, 2016 at 10:50 am

      Can’t have the kuffar police investigating muslims now can we. That would be Islamophobic. Also they may actually do a thorough investigation and actually NOT whitewash the Islamic community of all charges. Now that would be really Islamophobic so much so that possibly all those peace loving muslims would have to riot and kill the kuffar.

      • Charli Main says

        Apr 29, 2016 at 12:02 pm

        The kuffar police AKA the British police, the resolute Defenders of Islam and their Muslim masters.

        If Winston Churchill were alive today, we would probably be subjected to the spectacle of seeing him arrested and dragged into a paddy wagon for insulting Islam and offending Muslims

        • gravenimage says

          Apr 29, 2016 at 3:07 pm

          Churchill was accused of being a “warmonger” during the 1930s for warning about the rising Fascist threat.

      Angemon says: “…Anyway, shouldn’t the police be investigating the death threats? Why does that fall under a panel from a muslim organization?”

      What an Islamophobic notion! The police investigating death threats made by Muslims – where would that lead to? We could end up with actual, real justice, have you ever thought of this?

      The mere thought is offensive to the entire Muslim community –
      what a good idea!
      ==============

    • gravenimage says

      Apr 29, 2016 at 3:08 pm

      I believe the police will also be investigating, Angemon.

      This “panel” is more of a Taqiyya stunt on the part of this Iman and his cronies.

    In a sane society, his mail box would be the one overflowing with death threats.

    By the same logic they should have had Eichmann, Himmler, Goering & Co. up on the bench at the Nuremburg trials.

    Oh yes, they are Lord Avebury but only when they are applied to non Muslims speaking the truth about Islam and Muslims.

    UK: Imam who favors death for apostasy to investigate death threats to apostates

    The MCB itself officially classes Ahmadis as “apostates”, a charge punishable by death in many Muslim nations, but insists violence must not be used against them in the UK.

    Khatme Nubbawat has been directly implicated in inciting violence in Pakistan that has led to the murder of Ahmadis

    However, one of the men leading the panel, Maulana Shahid Raza Naeemi OBE, a sharia judge and imam, told the Dewsbury Reporter in 2011, that: “Sharia law says that if a Muslim changes their religion it is treason and the punishment for treason is death”, when asked if a man who converts from Islam to Christianity must receive the death sentence.
    …………………………..

    Fox, henhouse.

    Of course, none of this should surprise. What should, but sadly does not, surprise is this:

    Mr Naeemi was awarded an OBE by Prince Charles in 2008 for “his years of tireless work in interfaith dialogue, for the support and leadership he has shown for Muslims in Britain, and his services to British society at large”. He was also given a honorary degree by the University of Leicester this year.
    …………………………..

    …that dhimmis actually believe that this vicious Imam is some sort of “moderate”.

    Some will, no doubt, listen to the results of this “investigation” as though he does not himself believe that Shah deserved to die for being an Ahmadi, and for wishing his Christian neighbors a Happy Easter.

    My neighbors, the people I pass by in the store while shopping, the grocery clerks, the people I have worked with, students, and most people in church are all blissfully unaware of this. Willfully ignorant, happily playing on the beach making sand castles while a tsunami is on the horizon. It may not all happen in one day, it may take decades, but within a century or two the western nations will pay for their indifference to this threat, and the descendants of the uninterested, blind multitudes of soccer moms and football fanatic dads and electronic gadget fixated teens will all be Muslims, and Christians in Europe and America will be a tiny, persecuted minority, and the cry of the muezzin will be heard from the White House and from every major city in this once great nation while shariah law will rule the land. The country that Washington and Jefferson founded will be no more, the great Universities will be centers of Islamic indoctrination, and the flower of Christianity will have passed on to China or India, and the Vatican, the “eternal city” will be a grand mosque, and the Pope merely a petty official under the control of some European Ayatollah, and the once great Catholic church will be a withered branch in the final millennium before Christ’s return.
    Robert Spencer is a modern day Jeremiah, persecuted by the government and the media elite for sounding forth the warning. And like Jeremiah of old, the rulers would not listen, yet God has put into Robert’s heart a burning zeal to proclaim the truth, and history will bear witness to this man’s unyielding stand for Christ and His kingdom against the mockers and the enemies of the Lord and His anointed.
    There is one bright spot on this bleak forecast of the fall of the west: When the Muslims have fully trodden down the last vestiges of this liberal, decadent society, there will be no transgender bathrooms

      Excellent comment. Considering the reality of the threat, the ignorance and passivity of the majority of Americans is appalling and discouraging. They will come to regret their lack of vigilance.

      I would suggest more paragraphs would get more readers BTW.

        Lol nothing substantial will happen to the states. The United States are a white anglo-saxon protestant Christian powerhouse. As of 2016, 1% of the USA is muslim! It’s Europe that we need to worry about.

      Yes, they do.

      Dalwardin Babu, a Muslim who had inveigled himself into high levels of law enforcement in the UK, castigated all efforts at anti-terrorism as regarded by Muslims as “toxic. As part of the solution to this, he suggested larding police and security with even more Mohammedans.

    A ‘hanging judge’ is being sent to discover why there are so many lynchings.

    He will surely find nothing amiss.

    Ahmadis to executed first, followed by Hindus, Gays, Jews and Christians…they won’t forget the atheists either.

    Islam teaches Muslims to hate everyone.

    Mohammedism just needs to be recognized as the dangerous mental illness that it manifestly is.

    Just because you call your mental illness a religion, or that it’s very popular, should not give it any special rights or let it be excused for killing and abusing innocent people.

  16. Amir Dewana says

    Apostasy or being an apostate is in no way a criminal act, as it differs from what is known as theft and robbery, rape and murder. So it would make no sense that such an act is punishable by death. But Islam has its own way of reasoning. In conclusion, is Islam truthfully a religion of peace?

  17. UNCLE VLADDI says

    Apr 30, 2016 at 6:19 pm

    Not all that surprising – sharia “law” (crime) already resembles Monty Python “law!”
