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

Muslim cleric banned in Pakistan is preaching in UK mosques

Dec 18, 2016 4:56 pm By Robert Spencer

The letter to me from the UK Home Office banning me from entering the country said that I was banned for saying: “[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…” — which is like being banned for saying that water is wet. And now Britain has a steadily lengthening record of admitting jihad preachers without a moment of hesitation. What does this say for the priorities of the British government, and for the future of Britain?

“Muslim cleric banned in Pakistan is preaching in UK mosques,” by Jamie Doward, Observer, December 17, 2016:

A Pakistani Muslim cleric who celebrated the murder of a popular politician is in Britain on a speaking tour of mosques. The news has alarmed social cohesion experts who fear such tours are promoting divisions in the Muslim community.

Syed Muzaffar Shah Qadri has been banned from preaching in Pakistan because his sermons are considered too incendiary. However, he is due to visit a number of English mosques, in heavily promoted events where he is given star billing.

Qadri publicly praises Mumtaz Qadri who in 2011 murdered his employer, Salman Taseer, a popular Pakistani politician who spoke out against the country’s blasphemy laws. Qadri was executed earlier this year but to his tens of thousands of supporters he remains a hero who defended their interpretation of Islam.

Mumtaz Qadri was a key influence on Tanveer Ahmed, the Bradford taxi driver who in March stabbed to death Asad Shah. Shah, a member of the Ahmadi Muslim community who ran a convenience shop in Glasgow, was targeted after messages he put out on social media including an Easter greeting to Christians.

His was one of several recent high profile murders in which a Muslim from one community was killed by a Muslim from another community for holding what they considered to be “blasphemous” views. In February, a former Sufi imam in Rochdale was murdered by two Islamic State supporters whom they claimed was practising “black magic”. In May, a Sufi Muslim leader was hacked to death near the north Bangladeshi town of Rajshahi in what police said was an attack by Islamic extremists.

Qadri, considered by many scholars to hold moderate views except on blasphemy, was due to speak at the Falkirk Central mosque in Scotland, but his invitation was withdrawn after a public outcry. However, the Observer has established that he is due to appear at several mosques in England….

    Petrodollars speak loudly in Western governments. More loudly than the populace of those countries.
    That is about to change.

    THEY ARE FOOLS – they are doing this all over Europe …you won’t find this in Japan nor China …I firmly believe we are getting a MULTITUDE OF “CRIMINALS” OF THE HIGHEST ORDER and we will pay dearly …. these kinds of criminals are practicing ‘there’ so they can go ‘big scale’ when they get here …. CHAOS will be the order of the day from them to us …………and they are laughing …….

    And, if the Muslims worship the same G-d as jews, where- today- do we see Orthodox Jews killing Reform Jews; Baptists killing Seventh Day Adventists; etc?

    I have not noticed that. has anyone.?

    Regarding what had bene going on in ireland-I used to know people who lived there. (during the heyday of the IRA, The Orange whatever, etc.). they told me, religion DID PLAY A PART, but more of the problem was economic. The Protestants had more money; better jobs; etc. (And, there were criminals and the criminal elements). But, nothing liek this with the Muslims.

    You have to go a long way to be banned from preaching Islam in Pakistan. Leave it to England to make Pakistan look sane in comparison. And nice to know that apart from demanding anyone accused of “blasphemy” be executed (i.e. lynched, murdered extra-judicially) Qadri is considered to be a “moderate”.
    Can never have enough moderate Muslims.

      Harvey, the UK is doomed if they continue their Muslim loving ways!! England embraced in the past Hindus and others, and did not suffer from this horror. What they do not realize is Islam is not like other religions, and that they are not reading their own history books.. Euro history teaches that Islam tried to conquer Europe in early history, and failed.. This time, they will win. Getting out of the EU is not enough. They must get over the PC ideas!! If they do not, it is over!!

      Are you sure you mean to say “is committing” as opposed to “had committed?”

    If he was banned in Pakistan, he can’t be all bad…Spencer was banned in the UK, is he all bad? Well, I guess that depends on who you ask…

    Political correctness is a wilful lie designed to stifle all who dare to speak the truth about Islam.
    But hey! The truth in Engeland is not dead.
    There is a fair amount of us who know Islam to be the snake it is.
    All kudos to the truth.
    But truth alone is not enough.
    “God, it’s not enough!”
    As the poetess said, whoever she was.

    Aren’t Muslims killing Christians with impunity in Pakistan? Isn’t Pakistan as a State pretty much the epitome of Islamic madness?

    So, the country that gave protection to and hid Osama Bin Laden’s compound deems this guy too extreme, but the UK thinks he’s okie dokie?

    Boy, I’ve lost all respect for the government of the UK!

    “… Britain has a steadily lengthening record of admitting jihad preachers without a moment of hesitation. What does this say for the priorities of the British government, and for the future of Britain?…”

    It demonstrates that the Conservative Party of Britain is shackled by the same blinkers that have saddled Angela Merkel’s Conservative Coalition. It is a mode of thinking (or cloudy thinking) that is now widespread and no longer resides simply on the centre left and left of the political spectrum. There is reason however for optimism; once the momentum of the Trump presidency is felt in the new year the ineptitude of the British response to international Jihad terror will become clearer for all to see and if the new Prime Minister cannot adjust to the changing currents then she can easily be replaced by a vote of the Parliamentary representatives of the ruling Tory party.

    It’s sad, Western Europe is committing suicide, the elites are morons, stupid beyond the pale. There is only hope in Eastern Europe, Hungary, Poland and the Czech Republic. The people there are sensible.

    The news has alarmed social cohesion experts who fear such tours are promoting divisions in the Muslim community.

    “Social cohesion experts”? What the f***? Is that, like, a degree one can take in a college – social cohesion? What historically tends to work is a common core culture/set of values – having a mixed population where the culture/values of a smaller subset is openly hostile and aggressive towards the rest of the population makes “social cohesion” impossible in the long run.

    UK ruling elites are pleased and happy to have the violent Pakistani Muslim cleric preach in a lot of English mosques because they want the violent cleric to ENCOURAGE VIOLENT JIHAD against native English/Brits.

    There is NO other explanation.
