Not only has he had death threats, but British authorities appear wholly indifferent to their provenance, and meanwhile are hounding Smith, possibly out of his sport altogether: “Louis said that he will be interviewed about what happened by British Gymnastics on Monday and the matter will then go to a disciplinary hearing. He said that he does not want to retire from the sport.”
Why should his view of Islam have anything whatsoever to do with whether or not he performs as a gymnast? Is Britain a Sharia state now, in which criticism of Islam is forbidden? Would Smith be facing the prospect of the ruin of his career and violent assault by murderous thugs if he had mocked Christianity?
Smith himself, meanwhile, is rushing to issue groveling apologies. While embarrassing and regrettable, this is understandable: he’s being menaced by jihadis, excoriated in the press, and threatened by the governing body of his sport. He is completely isolated. The only difference between how he is being treated in Britain today and how he would be being treated were he in Saudi Arabia is that in Saudi Arabia there would be less media coverage and likely the death threats would have already been implemented.
Britain is finished.
An update on this story. “Louis Smith: I’ve had death threats for mocking Islam,” BBC, October 13, 2016:
Olympic medal-winning gymnast Louis Smith has told BBC 5 live that he’s had death threats “every day” since a video was leaked showing him mocking Islamic prayers.
Talking to Emma Barnett, he admitted that he and fellow gymnast Luke Carson were drunk when they filmed the late-night video, which started with singing songs from the musical Aladdin after a wedding, and ended up with them using a rug to imitate the Muslim call to prayer.
He said he is “very ashamed of my actions”, which was a “very silly thing to do”, and admitted that he is “quite ignorant to religion in general…. I think what I did was very offensive especially to the Muslim community”.
Louis is now planning to visit a mosque and find out more about the Muslim faith to “rebuild some bridges”….
Louis said that he will be interviewed about what happened by British Gymnastics on Monday and the matter will then go to a disciplinary hearing. He said that he does not want to retire from the sport….

Mubarak says
Try, however, to understand muslim sensitivity to mockery:
Muslims themselves are their own victims of the most cruel mockery ever perpetrated. Persuaded by a no-prophet to put their heads in the dust like an ostrich and their butts in the air five times a day for a no-God while parroting empty prayers might be the utmost for his lowest. Add to this the obligatory circulations around a black stone in Mecca, at least once a lifetime, while throwing stones at an invisible devil in order to be congratulated as Haji – i.e. the Kaaba-cube clown – and it should be enough for the mockery to reach its climax.
No wonder Muslims tend to react with transcendental rage when it is pointed out to them; the nonsens is too obvious and having succumbed to it so embarrassing that trying to shut up or indeed kill the seer who draws attention to it the only solution to stop the truth from spreading – and that might explain Louis Smith’s retraction and his expedient and fake apology.
john spielman says
allah (Satan) is laughing at muslims because of these stupid things they do for him just like you listed. They have been cruelly deceived by allah ( Satan) the “best of deceivers”!
Sheykh Yer Weeni says
Mubarak. what an excellent comment! The Infidel Imam is very impressed with your knowledge of Islam and with your critical style. I think it was Ayaan Hirsi Ali who said, “the first victim of Islam is the Muslim himself.” This is true, as you also have shown; Islam is a mockery of humanity. Muslims are extremely sensitive to criticism of Islam also because, in the very meaning of the word “Submission (to Allah)”, there is the seed of sensitivity to any offense: to anything “uppity”.
Anyone who does not submit to Allah is an offense already, and that is bound up in the sense of “Kafir”. Of course Kafir does not literally really mean “infidel”; it means “concealer”. It comes from the root k-f-r, which is what a farmer does with seeds. So a Kafir is one who conceals “the Religion of Truth”. Kafir is very, very ugly. I have decided there is only one English word as derogatory. Because people are so very touchy about this epithet, I will not write it out; however, Kafir in effect means N****r.
Mubarak says
That’s an interesting comment. The real Kafirs are Muslims themselves. It is a well known phenomenon in psychology that people, blind to their own critical condition, project it onto others thus unknowingly and ironically exposing what they want to conceal by their accusation.

Uh huh. Mubarak appears to be sarcastic here, but note that he *really does* think that we should “understand” Muslim “sensitivity” to supposed Western decadence, which Muslims react to by raping woman and little children. Here’s what he has said:
Mubarak says
March 18, 2016 at 6:28 am
If a female dress and behave like a poodle in heat or a self hating flagellant with tattoos and piercings, she either loves her self too much or too little and in either case not in the right way. And these women abound in the West. What I suggest to you is that the harassment and worse of these women by Muslims could be an outward expression of an inward harassment and rape, that has already been perpetrated by these women against themselves greatly supported and encouraged by our culture and especially what is left of it, and when these female leftovers meet with the male culture from the east something unwanted is very likely to take place.
I don’t condone it, I just try to understand it and provoke you to do the same.
https://www.jihadwatch.org/2016/03/hugh-fitzgerald-raping-me-is-his-prayer-to-god-its-allowed-its-halal#comment-1398831
The only thing that misrepresents his stance is his saying that he does not condone this–in fact, he has many time *lauded* Muslim rape here many times.
gravenimage says
And there’s more ugliness from Mubarak on that same thread–as well as in the comments sections of many other stories, ever since he first showed up here after the mass rapes in Europe on New Year’s Eve.
Mubarak says
It it of topic here, but
Heather Mac Donald says something very observant here, GI:
http://www.city-journal.org/html/trumped-outrage-14777.html
And by the way: if I have many time [sic] lauded Muslim rape, why do you quote a comment here where I demonstrably don’t do it?
You often come off as a grumpy old schoolteacher with an answer book according to which you laud and revile commentators who respectively agree or disagree with your perspective. Is that your graven image or could you perhaps try to modify it a little, GI?

…………………………
Of course–only a “grumpy schoolteacher” could *possibly* have a problem with someone advocating the rape of women and little children.
How dare anyone agree with this perspective, which is sure more valid than *opposing* Muslim rape.
By the way, last I checked, Donald Trump was not raping people in the streets, Would that that were true of Mubarak’s coreligionists.
Jac says
I find your lack of good English disturbing…
mortimer says
hey Mubarak, you commented on Muslim rage to blasphemy. Look, it’s the correct response according to Sharia law.
A blasphemer must be executed according to Sharia law. The only plea that will get you off of execution is INSANITY.
Mubarak says
“It is error alone which needs the support of government. Truth can stand by itself.” Thomas Jefferson
The error of Islam not only needs the support of government, it also needs the terror, the violence and intimidations of raging Muslims who by their actions and attitudes abundantly make it clear that Islam is a lie as viscous and destructive as Nazism and Stalinism. These Muslims are the true blasphemers. I don’t call for their execution only their exposure and hopefully their change of mind – and so should any decent and sane person do.
ECAW says
Does anyone here actually agree with the claim that Britain is finished whereas France, Germany and Sweden are not. Please explain why.
Sheykh Yer Weeni says
ECAW, I have wondered about this claim myself. Mr. Spencer has said on several occasions that UK it is finished, or words to that effect, but has not (to my knowledge as one of his daily readers) made the same claim for other EU nations. Surely FR, with its 7.5% population of Muslims, is in worse shape than UK, with 5.8%. Then poor Sweden, with its oh. so lovely women, has become the rape capitol of the West.
Therefore I cannot explain why UK should be singled out as “finished”. I still have hope for all of Europe. Look at the popularity of Geert Wilders and his PVV (NL), or the Alternative fur Deutschland (GE), or Marine le Pen (FR). The European people, I can reasonably hope, are beginning to rise. It is high time.
Jac says
Perhaps Mr. Spencer simply likes to poke sticks, dangle carrots, rattle cages, blah, blah, etc, in the vain hope he might just goad the good people of the UK into realising just what a bunch of complacent saps we are. You must forgive us: we like a nice, quiet life and all this talk of beheading and cutting off of limbs and whatnot is just not cricket.
Or perhaps we just need to teach ’em some fucking English.
Sheykh Yer Weeni says
“Death threats for mocking Islam”: for what offense does Islam *not* issue death threats? Oh, that’s right: thieves only have their hands cut off.
Mong says
Yes and bacon cunts have their toes swallowed by dick fucks. Seriously though, Islam wants us dead, it’s that simple. So we have to bake a cake of hate for the stupid men of Islam and let the centre of our cake be truth and hurt. We must hurt the men of garbage who believe in the incomprehensible guff of Islam. We’ll show them that Allah is full of shit.
John Marst says
I wouldn’t have put it quite that way, but I agree with the sentiment. Islam is stupid, weird, reprehensible, and twisted. Thus, no amount of mockery directed at Islam is too much. If nothing else, perhaps ridicule will force some Muslims to wake up.
Evangelist David Wood says that you gain nothing kowtowing to Muslim petulance. You must be the Alpha Dog.
Jac says
A magnificent and well-crafted rant. I applaud you, Mong. More, please.
gravenimage says
ECAW–with all respect–you seem to be more disturbed by Robert Spencer than by dhimmi enabling of Jihad or even Jihad itself. I’m not sure why this is the case.
We are *all* in trouble–Britain, France, Germany, Sweden–and the US and Canada and Australia and the rest of Europe and every other part of the West.
This is what we have to fight.
ECAW says
graven – Is it that difficult to understand? If you click on my name you will find thousands of words expressing my concern about dhimmitude in Britain and jihad.
But this is an influential site where people take notice of what is written about various countries. Robert Spencer’s constant writing Britain off can only have a damaging and demoralising effect on Britons.
Yes, we are all in trouble and we have to fight but anyone from Britain accepting Spencer’s view would logically give up fighting. Why would you fight for a lost cause?
Now answer me this, do you personally think that Britain is finished whereas France, Germany and Sweden are not like Spencer? If you do why do you say we all have to fight? If not why do you not challenge his continual premature announcements of Britain’s demise?
gravenimage says
I know that you have spoken out about dhimmitude in Britain, ECAW–and France, Germany, and Sweden have been as bad as the UK, and sometimes worse. Certainly, Jihad Watch has covered many such stories here.
And no–I don’t believe that anyone in Britain–or Europe, or the rest of the West–should give up.
ECAW says
graven – In that case you disagree with Robert Spencer. Why not tell him?
miriamrove says
Take a flight to Birmingham, England. As soon as you get out of the airport, it is as though you just arrived in Karachi, Pakistan. m
ECAW says
Indeed, just as areas in Holland, France, Germany and America look just like Algeria, Morocco, Turkey and Somalia.
Mubarak says
Don’t be too depressed!
We should all rejoice that Israel exists forever. This God-given peace of land is a thorn in the flesh of the Muslim world, and it constantly reminds us of the impotence of Allah and his quack of a prophet.
Dacritic says
Britain, France, Belgium, Sweden are finished. Maybe more to come – including the US and Canada if this comedy/tragedy continues.
mortimer says
Westerners don’t understand that verbal warfare against Islam is taken more seriously than physical fighting. Mohammed is not alive to forgive the insulter, so there is no option of forgiveness under Sharia: an insulter must be killed.
This is the subjugation of the West. The only hope of a return to freedom from fear is to remove all Muslims from Western countries.
Michael Laudahn says
Email ‘combat commenting’ is sometimes difficult, because you can’t always find all the addresses.
Can Twitter be an alternative? Or Facebook?
I used Twitter in this case, but I never quite know how to reach a maximum of people – apart from the 140-sign limit.
And I’m almost totally clueless with regard to Facebook.
Any good advice from other activists welcome indeed.
gravenimage says
Michael, many Anti-Jihadists also have their own blogs, as well as commenting here and on other Anti-Jihad sites, writing letters to the editor at newspapers, etc.
Michael Laudahn says
Thanks, but was it Moshe Dayan who said ‘If you want to make peace, you don’t talk to your friends. You talk to your enemies.’ According to my conviction, a ‘combat email’ may be among the more effective methods short of using firepower. A combat email is one where you address the perpetrator (in this case the british gymnastics organisation, and possibly some allies of it), then add the victim and some powerful anti-islam sympathisers as copy recipients – name and shame, for everyone involved to see. This is necessary to break taboos, to force them to speak frankly.
Like I said, it is at times difficult to find the email addresses. So alternative communication media come to mind, like Twitter and Facebook. But I hardly master the first, let alone the second.
The question is, can they be used to for this purpose? In this case, I tweeted to the organisation and the sports guy, with a link to this article, because of the 140-sign limit. But I’m not quite sure who will see that, and how the audience possibly could be extended. And I wouldn’t even try Facebook because I have no idea how they function.
If you (or anybody else, for that matter) are able/ready to think along the lines of this idea plus have the knowledge, or if you have a better idea, then please get back to me.
gravenimage says
Ah–I see what you are saying, Michael.
Here’s the contact information for British Gymnastics:
https://www.british-gymnastics.org/contact-us
All the Anti-Jihadists should drop them a respectful but pointed email.

That should be, “all the Anti-Jihadists here…”.

davej says
Islam is by design perfectly Evil. If you criticize it, the automatic punishment is death. If you mock it – death. If you try to quit it – death. If you do nothing but try to exist as a non-Muslim it is death again.
This is a Satanic death cult that has no place in the modern world. Yet it is here, it is expanding and it is undermining our civil society. We must come to a clear eyed view of this nasty ideology and stop pretending that it is a legitimate religion that deserves any protection or respect.
jayell says
Completely off topic, sorry, but UK people at least should see this…..Two teachers in ‘Trojan horse’ school who fed pupils a ‘diet of Islam’, segregated assemblies and ignored sex education are allowed BACK into classrooms by a High Court judge
“Teachers Inam Anwar and Akeel Ahmed were struck in February this year
They taught at Park View in Birmingham – linked to ‘Trojan horse’ scandal
Panel found they ignored sex eduction and held segregated assemblies
Judge found pair had been treated ‘unfairly’ and he overturned ban”

I’m a Muslim and I don’t want to harm anybody. I just want Allah’s will to be realised. So if you’re a non Muslim then you should accept Islam. Otherwise we, as Muslims, must soank your botty. Xoxoxo
eur says
I am a spaceman, I come from a parallel universe. My religion commands me to subject all muslims or kill them. Muslims submit yourselves to me, my holy book has been dictated by God word for word. The prophet Ratikulin orders to introduce sticks us in the ass five times a day.
my ass is like a cauliflower, there is nothing more beautiful. You are wrong,your religion is false , come to me or die.
RichardL says
Words worthy to be printed and hung up. If only allahism would be less bizarre than Ratikulin’s commands!
Since they are witty and ironic these words are meaningless for the brain dead who worship the transvestite devil mu-ham-mad.

Oh dear. If you tried to ‘soank’ anywhere near my botty, I would be obliged to do unnatural things to your various orifices, metaphorically speaking of course; I shouldn’t like to catch anything that your imaginary friend couldn’t cure.
Carmel says
Louis , if you ever happen to read these lines, please don’t butter up too much your excuses. The video that was made public was about a private action . So your ” very ” ashamed of what you did is a little bit too much .
Muslims, first of all , you must know are always offensed by anything the west does. Normal , they are so frustrated in their daily lives. Look at them . Tell me one msulim country that has economical success , that every weterner would like to live in. Imam shout loud : ” Come to success, come to success” but pure reality denies it . The religion they practice is the cause of their misery . Muslims walking on the streets alone at midnight are offensed by the crosses , the churches, dogs ( it is not a joke ), statues etc…
In reality , what muslims want from you is that you shut up about them so they could go forward in their taking over of London , UK , Europe and finally the world. When all the earth will be under Charia law, we will live like in Saudi Arabia , a ” successful ” muslim country that if he had not oil to sell to Western civilisation , would be as rich as Haiti .
Louis , please go on websites like JIHAD WATCH , RELIGION OF PEACE or go on YT and watch BILL WARNER video : WHY ARE WE AFRAID OF ISLAM : 1400 YEARS OF FEAR.
You need to get informed about Islam . They are abusing of your youth and ignorance. Become a man , please.
Jac says
Spot on, Carmel. And if you do read this, Louis, don’t let your ‘advisers’ scare you into being a kowtowing idiot like them. Religious nuts are just that – nuts – so stop feeding their delusions. If their mania didn’t fall under the protective banner of ‘religion’ they’d all have been committed long before now.
Ian H says
That Islam is violent and intolerant is something which, like the emperors new clothes, we must not mention. Except that when the small boy in this story innocently proclaims the truth someone cuts his head off.
Matthieu Baudin says
“… Would Smith be facing the prospect of the ruin of his career and violent assault by murderous thugs if he had mocked Christianity?..”
No of course not; what he has done is to stand up to the new wishy washy moral consensus that is undermining plain speaking and the democratic spirit.
Louis Smith is one of the new faces of British courage who stares down his attackers on our behalf.
Lynne says
Why is all this money and time being used to persecute Smith for mocking Islam? Shouldn’t It go it be used to prosecute “real” criminals who rape and assault real victims?

We have allowed Muslim and Third World Countries through the UN with the help of President Obsma (of questionable origin) and his Adninistration without Conressional Legislation nor Supreme Court Interpretation chip away at our First Amendment Righrts as Hillary Clinton suggested shunning us at first and if that fails more drastic measures. She stood before the UN apologized for a legally made movie that she blamed for unrest in the Muslim World includeing the murder of the Benghazi 4 and empathized that she could understand and that the filmmaker would be arrested (without having broken the law or due process-my words). So, now we’ve evolved to the point of thse despotic thugs at the UN. Then we have the ‘Leader of the Free World’ declare at the UN he will do something about those who mock the name Allah and his Messenger
Bill Shackelford says
This forum is great, but lets not forget the power of the printed word on ACTUAL PAPER. Print a copy of a particularly well written article on the “reality” of what Islam actually is, and give it to someone, or leave it on the table for the server to paruse. One of the best is IslamSeries.org – print out a brochure and distribute it in any way you can.
