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

Pakistani clerics who praised jihad killer welcomed to UK, start mosque speaking tour

Aug 16, 2016 6:00 pm By Robert Spencer

British Prime Minister Theresa May’s Home Office banned me from entering Britain for the crime of pointing out the truth that Islam “is a religion and is a belief system that mandates warfare against unbelievers for the purpose for establishing a societal model that is absolutely incompatible with Western society.”

That’s tantamount for being banned for saying that grass is green and people can’t live without breathing air.

Meanwhile, Britain has welcomed these two Muslim preachers who know very well that Islam mandates warfare against unbelievers, and approve of that fact wholeheartedly. These Muslim clerics have led a high-profile campaign in Pakistan in praise of assassin Mumtaz Qadri, who murdered Pakistani politician Salmaan Taseer for opposing Pakistan’s blasphemy laws.

The local imam, meanwhile, is shocked! shocked! that his illustrious guests praised a jihad murderer. No doubt that will acceptable to British authorities.

Britain is finished.

Hassan Haseeb ur Rahman

An update on this story. “Clerics who hailed killer at mosque,” by Iram Ramzan, Oldham Evening Chronicle, August 16, 2016:

CONTROVERSIAL Pakistani clerics who praised an Islamist assassin in Pakistan were allowed to speak at a mosque in Oldham last week.

Muhammad Naqib ur Rehman and Hassan Haseeb ur Rehman spoke to a large gathering at Madina Mosque and Islamic Centre in Clydesdale Street, Coppice, last Thursday and Friday as part of their seven-week UK tour, Sacred Journey, which runs until September 4.

After Oldham they went on to speak at mosques in Rochdale and Rotherham

The clerics led a high-profile campaign in Pakistan in praise of Mumtaz Qadri, who was executed in January after murdering Pakistani politician Salman Taseer in 2011 for opposing Pakistan’s strict blasphemy laws.

Qadri had claimed it was his religious duty to kill the Punjab governor.

Funeral
In a social media post after Qadri’s execution, Haseeb ur Rehman said: “Every person who loves Islam and Prophet is in grief for the martyrdom of Mumtaz Qadri.”

Several videos on YouTube showed the clerics urging people to attend Qadri’s funeral, which they also attended in Rawalpindi, Pakistan.

They repeatedly referred to Qadri as “shaheed” (martyr).

Between 15,000 and 100,000 people attended Qadri’s funeral, shrieking slogans such as “Qadri, your blood will bring the revolution” and “The punishment for a blasphemer is beheading”.

Fierce riots ensued in Pakistan after Qadri’s execution.

Last month, after arriving in the UK, Muhammad Naqib ur Rehman was welcomed at Lambeth Palace by Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby.

The pair discussed subjects including countering “the narrative of extremism and terrorism” and interfaith relations.

Shahbaz Taseer, whose father was murdered by Qadri, criticised British authorities for allowing the clerics into the country.

He told a newspaper: “These people teach murder and hate. For me personally I find it sad that a country like England would allow cowards like these men in.

“It’s countries like the UK and the US that claim they are leading the way in the war against terror [and] setting a standard. Why are they allowing people [in] that give fuel to the fire they are fighting against?”

The Home Secretary has the power to ban people from the UK if their presence is deemed to not be “conducive to the public good.”

Former Home Secretary and now Prime Minister Theresa May used these powers to ban US bloggers Robert Spencer and Pamela Geller from entering the country, as well as controversial Islamist preacher Zakir Naik.

Geller and Spencer co-founded anti-Muslim group Stop Islamisation of America.

If it is “anti-Muslim” to oppose jihad mass murder and Sharia oppression of women, non-Muslims, gays, etc., what does that say about Muslims? In reality, we are no more anti-Muslim than opposing Nazism was anti-German.

Venues

The Chronicle spoke to imam Zahoor Chishti, from Madina Mosque and Islamic Centre in Coppice.

He said the event was not organised by the mosque itself but by the clerics’ team. He said he did not know who approved the decision for the pair to speak at the mosque.

Speaking about the two clerics, imam Chishti said: “They have got hundreds of thousands of followers in the UK.

“Several followers and disciples of theirs contact people and ask if they could use their venues.

“If they are approved it’s got nothing to do with the imam or preachers here.

“I was at the event for a short while, just to show my face.

“It looks very bad in the community if the imam is not there.”

When asked if he was aware of the clerics’ comments about Qadri, he added: “On a personal level I didn’t know what they believe.

“When I found out I was upset. I think it was really upsetting and wrong.

“They come to the UK every year and give messages of love, so that’s why they’re booked on that basis….

Messages of love. Yeah, sure.

    Well, I’m sure there were tens of thousands of muslims outside preaching against this “extremist”, right? RIGHT?!?!?!

      Absolutely! Couldn’t move on the pavement for the crowds. They had to bring extra police in to keep order and lay on extra public transport. And the sky was full of flying pigs. Ithink it’s time I woke up.

    And this says a lot about the direction Britain is headed. They ban a man of integrity and brilliance like Robert Spencer but welcome preachers of hate and violence. They are a lost nation, they are forsaking their great heritage and democratic freedoms for islam’s Hitleresque style of domination and control. It’s sad but it’s also maddening that they don’t respect themselves enough to fight the evil that confronts them. They have good people like Britain First and Liberty GB promoting English values of freedom and equality, but the status quo traitors gainsay them every step of the way. I can’t get over how the authorities have gone out of their way to harass and arrest members of those political parties. They treat them like criminals when they should be treated like heroes. Britain’s ruling politicians and leaders are nothing to be proud of. They have embraced islam’s violent, fascist ideas while lambasting and even criminalizing the good intentions of true patriots. It’s a national disgrace that they abandon the world’s best human rights for an ideology that promotes violence and murder against religious freedom and equality. Britain is no longer a good place to visit, and before long it won’t be a good place to live. Not for infidels.

      I’m afraid you’re right. The influx has been too large, for years and years. There was the BBC, slanted news ignoring the facts. It has been only in the last few years that on rare occasiins they filed some reports about radical islam. A term I would not coin myself because I consider the islam as such quite bad and retarded.

      How can ‘multicultural’ mess like the UK be called a ‘nation’? It’s got about as much natural socio/intellectual integrity and viability as a person with a pathologically split personality, and the Deluded Windbags In High Places who continually blather on about ‘social cohesion’ appear to have a severe perception deficit because if you actually look around you might notice that there’s about as much ‘cohesion’ here as you’d find in a construction kit cobbled together with clapped-out second-hand sellotape (or ‘scotch tape’ in the US?). They might as well give up because it’s a clear case of attempting to close the stable door after the horse has bolted – no horse with any sense would willingly stay in THAT particular stable! And, increasingly, the only way way to try and hold together a machine that’s so badly conceived that it wants to fall apart is by the use of force, which means trampling on peoples’ freedoms. The beginnings of that particular process are clearly seen in the latest initiative, endorsed by the new Mayor of London, to allocate £2 million to the Metropolitan Police to hunt down internet trolls who ‘upset people’. As if the Met was so on top of the job that they’ve got time to start acting out ‘1984’! And we need to define what is meant by ‘upsetting people’ – i.e., which people are being upset, how are they being upset, why are they ‘being upset’, what do the authorities intend doing to those ‘upsetting them? Could all be very interesting, bearing in mind the sorts of people who regularly seem to be getting ‘upset’ quite a lot recently. I wonder who THEY might be? But then it would all be in the cause of ‘community cohesion’. Er, which ‘community’ is that?

    These spineless leaders [May and cronies] would have banned Churchill when he spoke about the ‘curses of lslam’, so Robert’s in good company. These politicians are the same gutless breed that welcomed the Nazies with open arms – with the same weak mindset as Chamberlain & co.

      Same thing with Walid Shoebat and Michael Savage. They tell the truth and get travel bans on them. Social media also does not like the truth on Islam to be posted. The universe has changed. It’s polluted to near maximum capacity.

    Well look at it this way, at least you were not threatened with imprisonment like mr Wilders, the party leader of our third biggest political party, several court cases were filed against him in Austria when he was speaking there and he was accused of being a racist when he warned against the islam. Mind you, since then Austria made a move to the right and many Austrians are now saying what he said at that time.

    Of course these Muslim vermin are welcome in Britain. Sharia May probably arranged for the British taxpayer to pay for their flights and all expenses while they are here.
    She has also probably arranged a closed door conference with them to quadruple the number of Sharia courts in Britain. Never mind all that nonsense about Brexit, Sharia has more important things to do—–like kissing the arses of visiting Imams.

    I am shocked and bitterly disappointed that these people have been allowed to enter UK and preach their vile hatred – I just cannot fathom what is in the minds of our government and our Church leaders – in the wake of the Anjem Choudary outrage one would have thought that such controversial hate-mongers would be barred from entry to avoid any possibility of Choudary’s mission of hatred to be continued – RIP Great(once) Britain

    Oldham is a vile Third World dump, largely occupied by mohammedan
    immigrants/colonists.
    It will be recalled that in Oldham gangs of mohammedan men groomed,
    raped, prostituted & drug addicted a minimum of 1,400 British girls
    – some of them of Hindu or Sikh backgrounds.
    Teachers, social workers,politicians, police all knew & did nothing.
    One parent was arrested for insulting “asian” men who had his 16 year
    old daughter, drunk, in their house.
    These appalling examples prove that in the UK it is more socially
    & legally unacceptable to offend muslims than it is to commit rape
    of under age children & commit gang rape.

    Our worthless and traitorous “Leaders” must be sent packing! And decent Citizen-Statesmen (or Women) must again represents the actual interests of every America.
    The Lobbyists for foreign governments AND foreign companies must be charged with the Criminal Conspiracy we know they are guilty of AND imprisoned!

      Islam has been nothing but a horror and a bane for all mankind since the day a perverted and very SICK psycopath crawled forth from a hole in the ground!
      From said hole, the perverted psyco managed to convince a small fraction of the local ignorant peasant folk that he has been visited by an Angel. I think that he likely was visited by “something”. But it wasn’t no angel! IT WAS EITHER SATAN HIMSELF or one of his unholy daemons!!
      And from that “hole” has spewed forth all the SATANIC/Islamic evil that has filled 1400 years of History and continues to plague our world to this very day!

    I’m English and unfortunately live in the UK, the country is now the caliphate for Northern Europe, the poodle forces bend over backward to protect muzzers and cover up their crimes, as well as the scum that have walked in from the EU to unleash a wave of crime on the UK.

    The cowardly politicians happily turn a vlind eye to mass rape, and don’t thik that there is any difference between the tories and liebour, they are as equally in awe of nazislam.

    The media, suh as sky, ch4 and the ‘so called’ BRITISH broadcasting corp (bbc), are the worst of the lot, they have actively acted as the attack dog for the left scum by publicly destroying anyone who dares speak against the warped ideologies of leftardism and nazislam and now Trump is in their sights. Don’t believe a single word of what they put out.

    Then we come to the arrogance of the muzzers themselves. Over the last couple of years there has been an explosion of young girls wearing the veils or headscarves, the ridiculous ones that makes their heads look three times bigger. They don’t want the western way of life and they soon won’t need to live it.

    There is the young dickheads in fast cars who race through many towns at breakneck speeds which has resulted in many deaths of innocent people when they lose control of the car because they can’t drive…the result? A couple of months in jail where they link up with other muzzers and learn about the real islam.

    There are the ‘good’ muzzers who use prostitutes, who rape young white girls and who have got away with it for years, the same ones who go to prayers on a Fri and discuss how they are contributing to the muzzer cause by being a devout follower of the prophet paedo.

    Then there is the likes of London mayor, khan, a known associate of hardline muzzers and many other political muzzers who will rule the UK by the pen, it may take longer than a bomb or an AK but it will be less messy and they will make more money from the white slaves once they have taken control of their impending caliphate.

    All are protected by the scum political class who are destroying the UK by bowing before the muzzers as they believe that they will be able to work alongside each other in harmony in ruling the UK. They are scared stiff of islam and it’s warped followers.

    The UK is finished, it is too far gone, many people are blind or scared, they watch dumbed down TV behind closed doors and hope the inevitable won’t happen, they can’t even protect their kids but it is they who will suffer in the future as many in many places they are in the minority. It seems the generations that fought and died to make the UK great have been betrayed, they died for nothing, today’s generations are appeasers and cowards.

      Very sad and very scary, as other western countries are following the pattern. A great awakening and divine intervention is needed and will eventually come. It was not that long ago that England was a great nation.

        Aug 23, 2016 at 5:10 pm

        You’re right, Rich, It wasn’t that long ago for England and I remember it well. It doesn’t seem so long ago that I was sat in R.E. lessons at school where not a mention was made of islam, now my nephews say it’s racist to criticize the RoP..until I point out that islam isn’t a race! But it’s what they’ve been taught at school so know no better!! It’s just brainwashing.

        I fear that whatever intervention comes will be too late, I drove through a suburb outside Manchester today and it was like a scene from Black Hawk Down minus the guns and Yanks, I was basically the only white dude there, another place that is outside the jurisdiction of English law and control.

    I am NOT one little bit worried at all, as the TRUTH will surface and then, all will be a shock to the offending group of people in fault. See, I do not believe that WE,as adults cannot see the truth.

    Remain peaceful and confident as better times will come to embrace all who live in fear.

    This , is all to do with creating chaos and drive us to hate the ignorant who believe they can just come in and destroy all .If you watch carefully, you will find that changes are already seen where there was no Hope. So, that is encouraging. Remain out of trouble !
