UK: Prosecutors afraid to tackle honor killings for fear of unrest from Muslims

Nov 8, 2016 7:42 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

Note the use of the term “Asian communities,” reflecting the British media’s ongoing fear of identifying Muslims as Muslims. The same term “Asian” men was often used as a euphemism for Muslim men in describing the perpetrators in the Rotherham sex scandal, in which Muslim men violated some 1400 young girls.

It’s also reported that in the UK, only “three of 43 police forces prepared to tackle honour violence ‘for fear of causing unrest in Asian communities’” and that the Crown Prosecutors Office “is facing an unprecedented wave of criticism over its prosecutions in child sex abuse cases, rape inquiries and a string of failed prosecutions against journalists.”

It is no secret that Islamic supremacists have been implicated in widespread sex assaults on Western soil, ruining the lives of women and their families, and are also committing an exorbitant range of other crimes. Now British authorities are so cowed by the fear of violence from Muslims that they are reluctant to report even the identity of the perpetrators, let alone the crimes.

That same fear is to blame not only for the shocking coverup of Muslim rape gang activity in the UK, but for the Swedish rape crisis; the coverup of a second Muslim beheading in Britain; and the fact that German police were reportedly told to coverup sex assaults by Muslim migrants.

“Prosecutors are failing ‘honour’ crime victims, say Met whistleblower”, UK Guardian, November 8, 2016:

Prosecutors are failing to tackle “honour crimes” in British Asian communities for fear of causing unrest, a Scotland Yard whistleblower has said.

The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) has “denied justice” to victims, Det Sgt Pal Singh told the Daily Telegraph. He said he has witnessed what he believes to be serious miscarriages of justice and felt it was in the “public interest” that he speak out.

The serving officer said: “There appears to be an apathy from the CPS when prosecuting cases where Asian women are victims of ‘honour’-based violence.

“A conviction could lead to unrest in the affected community but if they discontinue a case they know most victims won’t complain due to their vulnerability.”

He told the paper he was prompted to speak publicly after the CPS dropped a forced marriage charge in a case because it said it was unable to locate the victim.

But Det Sgt Singh said he had written to the CPS saying the 27-year-old victim from south London would attend court.

The CPS instead said it would continue with the charges of false imprisonment and common assault and wrote to Det Sgt Singh apologising for not consulting him before dropping the charge.

Figures published by the CPS in September showed there were no successful prosecutions under a specific forced marriage offence in 2015/16, after its introduction in 2014.

However, the report showed there were 53 prosecutions flagged as forced marriage in 2015/16, with six in 10 of those leading to convictions. One defendant was convicted of breaching a forced marriage protection order.

A CPS spokesman said: “These crimes are among the most complex referred to the CPS by police and, as recent statistics show, all agencies involved have major challenges to overcome.

“We recognise that it can be very difficult for victims to come forward, report these crimes and maintain their support during a prosecution, due to the nature of the offences.

“Victims will often be reluctant to criminalise their families, and can feel isolated. The CPS recognises that ‘honour’-based violence and forced marriage are fields in which we need to improve our understanding, response and support to victims…..

          Indeed Anne.

          Britain and Europe have not, as yet, had over 80 million people massacred by Muslims, countless millions of women raped and used as sex slaves by Muslims or had tens of thousands of Churches and Cathedrals converted into Mosques by Muslims.

          Indians have been at the receiving end of the ” religion of peace” for centuries.

          Charli Main : Muslim Arabs have enslaved hundreds of thousands of Europeans throughout history. They have stolen, burned churches, raped, taken entire villages to the slave markets in north Africa. Until well into the eighteenth century the European Mediterranean coast was full of watchtowers to warn of the arrival of Muslim pirates. There were almost no fishing villages for that reason. Millions of black Africans have been enslaved and murdered by Muslim Arabs .. and they are still doing the same. In Europe we do not know because we have forgotten but there is the story. Muslim Arabs have done in Europe the same as in India, they have killed and devastated everything they have been able to. The colonial past of European countries makes us feel guilty that Muslims do not have. For them everything has been wonderful, the history of Islam is peaceful and tolerant, they deny razzias, robberies, kidnappings, slavery, assassinations, warnings, looting, rapes …

        It is not entirely weakness and fear of Muslim violence, it is the Labour Party need for the Muslim block vote. That is why we have a Muslim Mayor of London, he ran on the Labour party ticket. Muslims have been infiltrating the Labour Party everywhere and hold many Councillor positions throughout the country.

        Standing up against their disgusting cultural habits does not endear the Muslim block vote to Labour MPs and Councillors, so they turn a blind eye.

          Muslims have been infiltrating EVERYWHERE and I would place a bet that they have instigated/been heavily involved in all the cover-ups of the grooming gangs including the celebrity witch-hunt smoke screens. Note the anti-Christian element in the Cliff Richard debacle – a bit suspicious?

      In the UK, currently, it seen to be worse to be merely
      accused of racism than to take part in gang rape & prostitution of
      young girls.
      Similarly, girls unfortunate enough to be born into mohammedan
      families, are subject to female genital mutilation & forced
      marriage. Technically illegal. So far, one, failed prosecution for FGM.

          Not quite. Although **much** less than muslims, Sikhs have also committed ‘honour’ murders, and arranged marriages are common. Sikh theology and culture, however, is to be preferred over that of mohammedans.

    I am CONTINUALLY encouraging the British friends on Facebook that I have, to STAND up to this. They are terrified of losing their jobs and community standing. They rant and complain about it on Facebook, but WONT take action. I tell them their culture is at stake even, and still they do not ACT.

    Toni Bugle just announced 1500 FGM cases reported in the last 3 MONTHS and that forced marriages are on the rise too. Why is it so hard for them to see that Islam and Shari’a is gaining control of their country? How much will it take for the Kuffar in Britain to rise up against this?

    • Anne Smith says

      Nov 9, 2016 at 4:49 am

      Because the schools, colleges, workplaces and everywhere else have been totally brainwashed into believing that naming and shaming Muslims is “racist”. The products of these educational (?) establishments are totally PC and put the rights of foreigners above their own countrymen.

      In England nowadays the greatest crime you can commit is to be “racist”. This is the result of the appalling PC brigade, led by the BBC – nowadays possibly the most biased Broadcasting corporation in the world. To be called a “racist” is the greatest insult you can be offered.

      This is why the Muslims are on a roll.

      Well, linnte, what action do you suggest we take ? I, my family and friends voted Leave. I, and many others, canvassed for Brexit. I, and many others, voted UKIP, support Nigel Farage, support Paul Weston and Liberty GB, support PegidaUK, go on marches, sign petitions, write to our MP’s, people in government, write letters of support to anyone in a position of power and influence.

    Sooner or later this circus will escalate to a situation where the British government will have to choose between facing a civil war against the much larger native British population or the much smaller minority Muslim population. Because this cultural friction cannot last, one or the other has to be driven out.

    Today, the British government still has a choice. In the not so distant future, they may no longer have that luxury. The longer they wait, the more likely they are to lose the initiative, very much like the Swedish government has.

    Islam is all about fear. Death penalty for anything not approved by Mo.

    Threats to our legal system are the norm. Prosecutors are intimidated by the criminal organization they should be prosecuting. .

    “Unrest”? Code word for rioting Muslim mobs, murdering infidels and burning police cars.

    The Police are placed in the untenable position of mediating between savagery and civilization.

    No wonder they are quitting in droves.

    • Anne Smith says

      Nov 9, 2016 at 4:53 am

      It was all start ed by the simpleton Prime Minister John Major. When Muslim mobs led by their so called “Community leaders” (i.e. self appointed Muslim know-it-alls and bully boys) began threatening death to Salman Rushdie over his book, Satanic Verses, and staged public demos and book burnings, the Government played it very softly and took no action against them;.
      They soon learned they could (literally) get away with murder.
      The Government spent millions providing protection for Rushdie instead of rounding up and deporting/jailing the troublemakers. Typical idiotic feeble John Major.
      The Muslims have certainly learned that they can get away with it.

    ShIkhs are the brave and honest people of Indian origin. In fact, the vicious muslims tremble at even mention of Shikh retaliation in case of any muslim ie. islamic atrocity of which the Indian subcontinent has seen a lot. Shikhs are one of the people who has known islamic atrocities from a close quarters. 1947 is still glaringly ominous in our minds.
    NEVER CONFUSE SHIKHS WITH VILE FOLLOWERS OF THE CRIMINAL MOHAMMAD. SHIKHS HAVE A GREAT AND ENVIABLE RELIGIOUS TRADITION. THE WEST WILL DO A GREAT SERVICE TO ITSELF IF IT STUDIES THE INCESSANT BATTLE THAT THE SHIKHS HAVE FOUGHT THOUGHOUT AND THE RELIGION TOGETHER WITH THE LIVES OF THE GURUS( THE TEACHERS).

    When a nation believes that it cannot enforce its laws, for fear of igniting unrest of an entire group literally holding the nation hostage, which allows part of the Muslim “thugocracy” to pursue is vile acts with impunity, it is a sure indicator that the nation has reached “a tipping point,” or if you will “the saturation point” of a people completely alien to the laws of the nation.
    Instead of insisting that its historically established laws apply to every soul in the nation, the government, and not the offending criminal minority, has offered to be subservient to Islam.

    Sikhism and Islam … contd. page 2
    The following passages are quoted from the third edition of Bala Sahib’s Janam Sakhi, printed by the press, Anarkali, Lahore in the early part of this century.

    On page 134 of Janam Sakhi, we read, The Quran is divided into thirty sections, proclaim thou, this Quran in the four comers of this world. Declare the glory of one name only for none other is an associate with me. Nanak proclaims the word of God that came to him, thou hast been granted the rank of Sheikh, so thou shouldst abolish the worship of gods and goddesses and the old Hindu idol – temples.

    The fundamental article of the Islamic faith, the Kalima, has been given the greatest stress in Janam Sakhi. A few Shaloks (verses) from this Sakhi read:

    I have repeated one Kalima, there is none other.
    I have repeated one Kalima, there is none other.

    Those who repeat the Kalima and are not devoid of the faith, shall not be burned on fire.

    Repeat the Holy Kalima of the Prophet, it shall cleanse thee of all sins.

    By repeating the Kalima, the punishment of this world, as well as the next is averted.

    Who ever repeats the Kalima, how shall he be punished? the merit of repeating the Kalima is that a person is cleansed of his sins.

    In Bala’s Janam Sakhi, we also read that during his pilgrimage to Mecca, Baba Nanak met Qazi Rukn-ud-Din, the Imam and had long conversations with him. It is reported that Nanak said, 0: Rukn-ud-Din, it is written in the Book (i.e., the Quran) that those who drink wine or ‘Bhang’ shall be punished on the Day of Judgement.

    In Bala’s Janam Sakhi, we also read that during his pilgrimage to Mecca, Baba Nanak met Qazi Rukn-ud-Din, the Imam and had long conversations with him. It is reported that Nanak said, 0: Rukn-ud-Din, it is written in the Book (i.e., the Quran) that those who drink wine or ‘Bhang’ shall be punished on the Day of Judgement.
    Baba Nanak was not a Muslim in belief only. He recognised the necessity of worship in the form enjoined by Islam and laid stress on this point in his teachings. On page 193 of Bala’s Janam Sakhi, we have: Nanak said, 0: Rukn-ud-Din, hear from me the true reply: the saying of the Lord is written in the Book. That person will go to hell who does not repeat the Kalima, who does not keep the thirty fasts, and does not say the five prayers, who eats what is not lawful for him. These shall receive the punishment and the fire of the bottomless pit shall be his abode. It is also reported that Baba Nanak kept fasts for a whole year at Mecca and put his fingers in his ears and gave the call to prayer. It is also related that Nanak recited the Khutba of the Prophet and became happy.

    The few quotations are sufficient to show that Nanak not only made a full confession of the absolute truth of Islam but also performed the obligations of Islamic law and enjoined others to follow them.

    Conclusion by:
    Professor Abdul Jaleel, Birth of Sikhism, The Review of Religions, March 1993

    @ https://www.alislam.org/library/links/00000180.html

    “It is indeed difficult to explain fully the causes which led to the identification of Sikhism with Hinduism rather than with Islam. But so subtle and variant are generally the causes which shape the religious thought of a people, that a complete satisfactory explanation is often impossible in such matters.

    Nanak probably knew that those who really accepted him as their Master, would ultimately follow him in the Islamic way. There is a strong reason to believe that with Nanak’s death the influx of Muslims into his movement stopped all together. It was his personal charisma that drew Muslims towards him, and won their conviction that he was a Muslim saint. Accordingly, Nanak’s death was the turning point and with this, the Muslim element began to disappear. The movement remained in the hands of Hindu disciples, who, by lapse of time, relapsed into their old faith. The political circumstances accelerated this estrangement. The culmination of this can be seen from the perception of the tenth Master Guru, Gobind Singh Ji, that the power of God on the earth was symbolised by the khanda, a double edged sword. From the fifth Guru, Arjun Dev, onwards, the Islamic elements started disappearing from Sikh literature including the Granth Sahib with only some of these teachings remaining in some Janam Sakhis written earlier.” Professor Abdul Jaleel,

    Sikhism and Islam … contd. page 2
    The following passages are quoted from the third edition of Bala Sahib’s Janam Sakhi, printed by the press, Anarkali, Lahore in the early part of this century.

    On page 134 of Janam Sakhi, we read, The Quran is divided into thirty sections, proclaim thou, this Quran in the four comers of this world. Declare the glory of one name only for none other is an associate with me. Nanak proclaims the word of God that came to him, thou hast been granted the rank of Sheikh, so thou shouldst abolish the worship of gods and goddesses and the old Hindu idol – temples.

    The fundamental article of the Islamic faith, the Kalima, has been given the greatest stress in Janam Sakhi. A few Shaloks (verses) from this Sakhi read:

    I have repeated one Kalima, there is none other.
    I have repeated one Kalima, there is none other.

    Those who repeat the Kalima and are not devoid of the faith, shall not be burned on fire.

    Repeat the Holy Kalima of the Prophet, it shall cleanse thee of all sins.

    By repeating the Kalima, the punishment of this world, as well as the next is averted.

    Who ever repeats the Kalima, how shall he be punished? the merit of repeating the Kalima is that a person is cleansed of his sins.

    In Bala’s Janam Sakhi, we also read that during his pilgrimage to Mecca, Baba Nanak met Qazi Rukn-ud-Din, the Imam and had long conversations with him. It is reported that Nanak said, 0: Rukn-ud-Din, it is written in the Book (i.e., the Quran) that those who drink wine or ‘Bhang’ shall be punished on the Day of Judgement.

    In Bala’s Janam Sakhi, we also read that during his pilgrimage to Mecca, Baba Nanak met Qazi Rukn-ud-Din, the Imam and had long conversations with him. It is reported that Nanak said, 0: Rukn-ud-Din, it is written in the Book (i.e., the Quran) that those who drink wine or ‘Bhang’ shall be punished on the Day of Judgement.
    Baba Nanak was not a Muslim in belief only. He recognised the necessity of worship in the form enjoined by Islam and laid stress on this point in his teachings. On page 193 of Bala’s Janam Sakhi, we have: Nanak said, 0: Rukn-ud-Din, hear from me the true reply: the saying of the Lord is written in the Book. That person will go to hell who does not repeat the Kalima, who does not keep the thirty fasts, and does not say the five prayers, who eats what is not lawful for him. These shall receive the punishment and the fire of the bottomless pit shall be his abode. It is also reported that Baba Nanak kept fasts for a whole year at Mecca and put his fingers in his ears and gave the call to prayer. It is also related that Nanak recited the Khutba of the Prophet and became happy.

    The few quotations are sufficient to show that Nanak not only made a full confession of the absolute truth of Islam but also performed the obligations of Islamic law and enjoined others to follow them.

    Conclusion by:
    Professor Abdul Jaleel, Birth of Sikhism, The Review of Religions, March 1993

    @ https://www.alislam.org/library/links/00000180.html

    “It is indeed difficult to explain fully the causes which led to the identification of Sikhism with Hinduism rather than with Islam. But so subtle and variant are generally the causes which shape the religious thought of a people, that a complete satisfactory explanation is often impossible in such matters.

    Nanak probably knew that those who really accepted him as their Master, would ultimately follow him in the Islamic way. There is a strong reason to believe that with Nanak’s death the influx of Muslims into his movement stopped all together. It was his personal charisma that drew Muslims towards him, and won their conviction that he was a Muslim saint. Accordingly, Nanak’s death was the turning point and with this, the Muslim element began to disappear. The movement remained in the hands of Hindu disciples, who, by lapse of time, relapsed into their old faith. The political circumstances accelerated this estrangement. The culmination of this can be seen from the perception of the tenth Master Guru, Gobind Singh Ji, that the power of God on the earth was symbolised by the khanda, a double edged sword. From the fifth Guru, Arjun Dev, onwards, the Islamic elements started disappearing from Sikh literature including the Granth Sahib with only some of these teachings remaining in some Janam Sakhis written earlier.” Professor Abdul Jaleel,

    Note: Khanda. The Sikhalsa symbol is similar to the image that is in the Iranian Flag.

    I am sorry but this story where you blame just Muslims is wrong. You are right about most stories concerning Muslims but in this case, no. I live not far from Bradford in the UK and in the case of Honour Killings, it is as prevalent in the Sikh and Hindu communities as Muslim.
    I think it more a regional problem, it is common in the Indian subcontinent and cannot be blamed on just Muslims this time.

    This is a picture of a Sikh. Sikh do not make any honour killings. Sikhism is a peaceful religion.

      ”Sikh do not make any honour killings. ”

      Yes, they do. Certainly not at the rate of muslims, (90%) but they do happen. Denial of facts that can be proven is just idiotic.
