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

BBC identified man as “Muslim” when he was denied visa, “Indian” when he was arrested for sex abuse

Mar 8, 2017 12:03 pm By Robert Spencer

Of course: for the establishment propaganda media, Muslims are victims only, never perpetrators.

“BBC Was Quick to Say ‘Kashmiri Muslim’ When Denied Visa, But After Reports of a Heinous Crime… Not So Much,” by Virginia Kruta, Independent Journal Review, March 7, 2017:

A sportsman was set to compete in the world snowshoe championship at Saranac Lake, New York, and he was ready to travel all the way from India to get there. That’s when Tanveer Hussain was informed that “current policy” would be preventing him from obtaining a travel visa.

The BBC reported on his plight, pointing out the fact that Hussain was not actually traveling from a nation that was affected by President Trump’s initial order:

The embassy in Delhi would not comment on individual visa applications for reasons of privacy, but emphasised that Indian citizens are not affected by the recent executive order.

Mr Hussain’s coach, Abid Khan, said all his documents had been in order.

“We had local government recommendation and also the invitation and verification letter from the New York snowshoe federation. But as soon as a lady visa officer at the US embassy in Delhi read our names, she went inside a cabin and came back after a few minutes. She said she was sorry, but that she could not help us due to the current US policy,” he told the BBC.

Their headline on February 1 read:

Kashmir Muslim athlete denied US visa due to ‘current policy’

After several American legislators — among them Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) greased the wheels, Hussain’s visa was approved and he traveled to the United States to compete.

Then something went terribly wrong.

Hussain found himself remanded to an American jail after parents reported to law enforcement that he had sexually assaulted their 12-year-old daughter.

Once again, the BBC had the story:

His attorney has entered a not-guilty plea for him.

Saranac Lake police department said that the charges against Mr Hussain, which include endangering the welfare of a child, stem from him engaging in a “passionate kiss with the 12-year-old victim”.

“There was no accusation of force. The charges are a result of the age difference of the individuals,” the AP news agency quoted the police as saying.

Their headline, dated March 3:

Tanveer Hussain: Indian athlete held over sex abuse in US…

      Schumer should be in there with them……

        Schumer could make Bubba lose his desire for sex-as could such beauties as Hillary Clinton, Maxine Waters, Elizabeth Warren, Michelle Obama.

        The Dems seem to have lots of really ugly (inside and outside) ugly people.

    Excellent catch. This just sums up the BBC perfectly.

      It’s interesting watching or listening to the BBC news, then comparing with other UK channels and the internet. It’s amazing what is left out of reports, changed in reports, or not reported at all.

    • Nigel GFF says

      I’m sure we all remember the sobriquet ‘Asian men’ and Asian gangs, perp’s all in the Rotherham (and other towns) abuse of vulnerable girls.

    Meanwhile, in the US, the MSM blame the low levels of public confidence in the MSM on Trump’s “inflammatory” statements. How dare he say that the media lie? HOW DARE HE?!?!?!?!?!

    I got $50,000 that says the second headline would have used “Muslim” if he’d done something like saved a drowning girl.

    • Keith says

      Too true, it certainly would have used “Muslim”.
      The BBC have to put muslims and Islam in a positive light. Maybe we should rename it the Islamic British Broadcasting Corporation.

    All musiims are victims so they must be appeased even if they commit a crime. Don’t understand what is so appealing about Islam.

  7. Curtis C. Miller says

    Mar 8, 2017 at 2:45 pm

    This is why we need extreme vetting from every country. Because of his intercession, will Chuck Schumer be held accountable? It is strange how this story has now been buried in the MSM.

    ‘Current policy’ could cover exclusion of known perverts of whatever religious persuasion.

  9. Vekafitzfrancis says

    Mar 8, 2017 at 3:02 pm

    I wish we could hear about the real reason he was turned down. I’ll bet money in wasn’t about his religion or a travel ban, but that they had some sort of criminal complaint against him.

    • Terry says

      Mar 9, 2017 at 8:56 pm

      Or, perhaps-just that ( regardless of what his coach said- by the way- what is the coach saying now?) his documents WERE NOT IN ORDER?

    Though the trouble is that these Muslim athletes, including olympians are notorious for doing similar things. How many have been arrested for assault, or other creepy behaviour and sent home.

    This is a recent case of a North African football team who came to play in Sweden but were thrown out of the competition – for troubling young girls.

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3711689/North-African-football-team-sent-home-manager-35-arrested-molesting-three-16-year-old-girls-Swedish-youth-football-tournament.html

    With Muslim men just arriving from the Islamic world – there has to be an understanding that any female who is not being chaperoned or is without a headscarf there is the belief that he can take her as a possession. And as a male in the Islamic world he would assume he has the authority to do as he pleases with a non-Muslim woman or girl.

    We have seen similar issues with diplomats from Iran – who believe, for example, that the 12 year old girl in the pool is his property. Think, one of the latest cases where one of these diplomats laid their hands on a child, was in Brazil and the father of the girl wanted to kill the guy. [He can get his Leftist friends to explain what he did not understand about what he was doing from the hospital!]

    This a serious cultural difference.

    Mar 8, 2017 at 5:32 pm

    In PR courses, one is told that the media seek to tell the public *what to think about,* but with any story that includes anything about islam or moslims, the media seek to tell the public exactly “what to think.” And, what to believe.

    There is another inconsistency. When India and Pakistan were partitioned, Kashmir was to have a plebiscite that would decide which state it would join. That never happened because both countries invaded and divided the country. In 1962, China in turn invaded and seized a chunk of India’s conquest – which, for some reason, no one seems too stressed over internationally.
    BUT, given that history and the BBC’s fastidiousness when it comes to these things (with respect to at least one country in the world), shouldn’t that second headline have referred to “Indian Occupied Kashmir”?

    • MikunDixit says

      Mar 9, 2017 at 5:57 pm

      First of all India never invaded any country in her 2 million years of glorious history. Everyone else invaded her and looted the only richest country in the world at that time zone in the history. Kashmir was always and is integral part of India. It is Pakistan who invaded Kashmir and occupied some parts of it by force. Now watch this below link for some more information on this topic ?

    The UK is going through an almost 50%-50% tug of war about “Political Correctness.” No matter what that Brit. government insists upon, it is so invested in P.C. that it has extreme difficulty in dealing with the facts and truth. It will be the death of Britain unless there is a very conscious effort to end P.C., and if it is ended a disabling evil to a democratic government will have been rejected.

    Hussain IS a citizen of India, who comes from the state of Kashmir which is territory of India, but is dominantly Muslim and it abuts Pakistan, almost completely Muslim except for the few non-Muslims still living there despite the fact that Pakistani Muslims can turn on the non-Muslims for any bogus reason which can end-up in the murder of the non-Muslim by a Pakistani mob. It has happened.

    As for his conduct concerning a 12 year old girl at Saranac, NY, a female of 12 years won’t deter a Muslim from trying to have his way with the girl. He is a member of the Islamic religion, originated by Mohammed who was described in Islamic history as having had a six-year old wife. Mohammed is the model of Islamic manhood to Muslims.

    The BBC used to call the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, the ‘Al Aqsa Mosque Compound’. This was especially useful when they reported that Jews wanted to enter this area, as it sounded like they were invading a Muslim area. I finally forced the BBC to call it the Temple Mount, and acknowledge that it was sacred to both Jews and Muslims.

      Good for you Aton – and well done to all others who point up the use of islamophilia language.

        The British Govt.-in a Useless nations vote-not sure which one, basically sided with the Muslims that Jerusalem is a Muslim city, jews have no history there (only there for over 2,000 years before islam was ever created), etc.

        Then, the same british government is 9or did-not sure if recently done, or coming soon) an EXHIBITION OF JEWISH ARTIFACTS FROM JERUSALEM– FROM THE TIME – BEFORE THE MUSLIMS WERE CREATED ONWARD .

        So, the British government, on one hand is saying that Jews have no ties to the city, and on the other, here is an exhibition of the Jews presence in the city for the last 3,000+ years.

        £1000 fine if caught with an unlicenced TV in home – and a criminal record.

    Unless there is world wide movement to expose the left/liberal movement for what they are and their conspiracy of silence ,there will be no peace or prosperity in the world ! All Jihad readers please watch Pat Condel if you are not already doing so !
