“Donald Trump was today accused of peddling ‘fake news’ and stirring up hate after he wrongly linked the rise in crime in England and Wales to ‘Radical Islamic terror.'”
The actual purveyors of fake news, however, are the British MPs who are attacking Trump over this, and claiming he attributed the rise in crime to the spread of “Radical Islamic terror.”
In reality, Trump wrote: “Just out report: ‘United Kingdom crime rises 13% annually amid spread of Radical Islamic terror.’ Not good, we must keep America safe!”
He said that the crime rate was rising amid the spread of jihad terror — as crime increased, jihad terror was also increasing. That is manifestly true. But as always, British authorities are more concerned with demonizing foes of jihad terror than with actually doing anything about jihad terror.
“Outrage as Donald Trump blames ‘Radical Islamic terror’ for 13% jump in crime in England and Wales,” by Kate Ferguson and Richard Spillett, Mailonline, October 20, 2017 (thanks to Inexion):
Donald Trump was today accused of peddling ‘fake news’ and stirring up hate after he wrongly linked the rise in crime in England and Wales to ‘Radical Islamic terror’.
The US president sent a tweet referring to figures out yesterday showing crime increased by 13 per cent last year and warning ‘We must keep American safe’.
But British MPs tore into Mr Trump for talking ‘nonsense’ and said he is ‘spreading fear and xenophobia’ by wrongly blaming the rise on terrorism.
Others accused him of peddling ‘fake news’ and pointed out terrorism accounts for a ‘tiny’ proportion of crime in Britain and the rise is down to increases in offences such as stalking.
Jo Swinson, deputy leader of the Lib Dems, accused Mr Trump of being ‘misleading and spreading fear’ while Labour MP Stephen Doughty said he is ‘talking nonsense’.
Mr Trump wrote on Twitter: ‘Just out report: “United Kingdom crime rises 13% annually amid spread of Radical Islamic terror.” Not good, we must keep America safe!’
Home Office data released last month showed the number of people detained over suspected terrorism increased to 379 – the highest since records began.
But murders and attempted murders due to terrorism represent a tiny amount of the overall 5.2million crimes committed in Britain last year.
The bulk of crimes in Britain are frauds, thefts and public order offences which have no link to extremism.
Mr Doughty, who sits on the Home Affairs Select Committee, told the Mail Online: ‘Donald Trump is talking nonsense about issues he doesn’t understand.’
He added: ‘Yet again it is not helpful for the President of the United States to comment with ignorance on security and policing maters in the UK.
‘While we have had some very tragic and horrific terror attacks in the last year, this represents a very small proportion of overall UK crime.
‘Donald Trump would be better paced looking at issues in his own country such as the huge number of deaths from gun violence which despite repeated atrocities from sandy hook to Las Vegas, the US government have failed to take action on.’…

“The bulk of crimes in Britain are frauds, thefts and public order offences which have no link to extremism.”
Muslims consider the appropriation of the wealth of the non-Muslim as entirely acceptable as the Allah-created universe sees the Muslim supported by the non-Muslim through their so-called jizya. So, yes, these theft crimes are very much part of the jihad, as are public order offenses whose aim is to keep the non-Muslim in a state of fear.
Raja says
Emilie,
Your are right about how the Muslims have no qualms about stealing non-Muslim wealth and whatever. They are taught it is allah’s blessing. They are no better in dealing with their own widows or other underprivileged.

“The bulk of crimes in Britain are frauds, thefts and public order offences which have no link to extremism.”
Politicians bragging about their own crimes? Never heard that one before…
SV says
Does jailing citizens for social media posts count as a public order crime?
Carolyne says
The British have no written Constitution so therefore no First or Second Amendment. I suppose their unwritten Constitution is whatever the government of the moment says it is and recently the governments of the moment have been giving their country away to Islam.
The British need to take back their country as we in the US have done with Mr. Trump and they need to get it in writing. To import millions of Muslims who bring their numerous wives and children and put them all on the dole is bankrupting the country and has resulted in the native British working themselves to death to support these lazy invaders. Why can’t their government see what they are doing to the country and why are the subjects allowing them to do it? It is a mystery.

It is perfectly Halal for Muslims to rob, rape, and murder Infidels.

Most of these crime are done by nonmuslim.
JawsV says
Says Muslim “Brian Hoff” whose nic used to be “defenderofIslam.”

The skyrocketing rates of rape and Jihad are done by Muslims, as the repulsive “DefenderofIslam” knows–and approves of.
Mac says
The UK also announced that they will no longer arrest people for those types of crimes.
gravenimage says
And now crime of all types is bound to skyrocket.
I wonder about leftists says
You brattish turn everything around, you have so many crimes , because you let them do that. You did not protect your own citizens, and you still are not doing any thing. You ket them crowd the streets in London, you let the children be forced to pray in school ., you let them beat up Jewish kids or infidel kids, you let them commit beheading, raping, beating, mutilating young girls, polygamy, forced how to dress, when to eat and how to eatYou only had to tell them to keep at the law of the land, like we had to do.
Thanks very much.
Raja says
Truth can be bitter and so are Brit pols who want to hide mass crimes committed by Muslim zealots well supported by “moderates”
Not long ago did the London Mayor, a Muslim give a tacit approval of killing a soldier (earlier) by singling out the condemnation of killing of ONLY civilians. These Muslims want to impose Islam on every event that happens around them.
Alas, the Brits have lost all the grit and character they had as Christians. “Facts are stubborn things, but statistics are pliable.”
Pablito says
Thank God for that “failure” and UK vice versa! And you forgot rape, especially the more than a thousand girls raped by muslim barbarians. And don’t leave out the crimes you cited which are mainly perpetrated by muslims who are commanded to do so. That’s why you’ll never have enough law enforcement to cover all the fraud, vandalism, or rape since you let in the invading barbarians.
Stan Lee says
The subject of Muslim criminality driven by their built-in hate towards non-Muslims may be preferred kept as a secret by British MP’s, but they failed long ago in keeping the story of Muslim immigration and its horrific results from the world’s news sources. While we know who the perpetrators are in the UK, the matter worsens by the day because while enough MP’s are content to don their blindfolds to the great crime wave, the British folks are the ones at which Muslim crimes are aimed.
What the rest of us, who we’ll call spectators to the great UK political blindness, which weighs on the British folks who are compliant to the law, the political class avoids addressing the matter “head on.”
They are the enablers of this travesty and this begs the question of misplaced MP energy, because more energy is wasted in denial of the reality of Islam’s non-stop aggression against a people whose overall wish is for peaceful existence in their own land.
I wonder about leftists says
England has enough troubles of their own, don’t try to divert your problems to Trump, your own May and Kahn have brought us enough !!!
Anne Smith says
Most people in UK would agree with Trump.
The MSM and especially the BBC try to use every piece of news as a way of denigrating and smearing Trump.
Hope Trump keeps on going – more power to his elbow.
Carolyne says
I have every confidence that President Trump will keep on going despite his being fought by the liberals at every turn. The American people who have brains at all are with him.

fbijihadidefender says
Of course, an Increase of jihad terror attacks in U.K. must lead to an increase of crime, because U.K used to combine terror attack cases and normal crimes cases.
vyx says
Wow. The Ruling Class in Britain really does not want to hear the truth. Has Parliament issued a fatwa against Trump for heresy yet? Or will he be arrested immediately for hate speech if he enters the country?
It appears that your betters have decided that Islam will be the future of Britain, no matter how many must die, be raped or be assaulted.
Malcolm (South Afric) says
Be interesting to have the accumulative world figure of Islamic violence for for murder, rape, kidnapping, extortion, limbs been removed by the blade, honor killing, genital mutilation, forced marriage, and forced conversion. Please add, if I left any crime out, like lying, stealing and cheating, yes these sound like liberal crimes.
Then compare it to other religions.
David says
Malcolm, very well summed up. Islam is a ghastly religion that makes the Nazi regime look positively angelic by comparison. Muslims should be ashamed and disgusted, and all become apostates. Fear of death may have something to do with their reluctance to do this.
Mantel says
Yes left out the following,the brutal,cruel crime against animals that is halal slaughtering.
Also crimes against the environment, just look at most Muslim countries, districts they are filthy and the vegetation has largely been eradicated. The crimes against the global historical heritage it’s not just ISIS or the Taliban that tries to wipe the slate clean for a tabula rasa Islam.
LeftisruiningCanada says
Typical communist Labour MP couldn’t help but take his chance to go on about gun control could he….the left in UK, which is most of it when it comes to firearms, seethe with hatred for USAs second amendment.
It rankles them deep down that the common people have the power and right to defend themselves, and think anyone who wants to own a firearm for that reason, or any reason actually, is insane.
Nevermind the fact that it’s their MPs who ignored and persecuted parents when all those parents were trying to do was protect their children from the muslim rape gangs, because what really matters is that people just shut the hell up to avoid upsetting the easily offended islamic lords of England.
Makes me sick
Carolyne says
In reality, the most basic of human instincts is self-preservation. The British have thwarted this instinct by outlawing the means to defend oneself and have left their citizens (Subjects of the Crown) helplessly exposed to mayhem by the Muslims they have imported. I suggest every Englishman arm themselves with a can of wasp spray which will shoot the insecticide 20 feet or more to defend themselves. Do it before the British government outlaws wasp spray. It will at least give victims time to escape from the throat cutters.
LeftisruiningCanada says
Agreed…. the means, the right and, through legal precedent, the will. Seems to me that the right to bear and use arms in self defense is a key mark of a free society, which the UK has not been for a while.
” Do it before the British government outlaws wasp spray”
Which would very likely happen soon after the first time a woman uses said spray to fend off a rapist….It’s a sound principle to use what is available, but you can’t win in a land ruled by the kind of ideas that have taken hold in the UK, Europe, Canada, and are trying to gain ascendancy in the US. Needs another 1776 or something!
David says
Waht is wrong with offending the offensive? The behaviour of some muslims is absolutely appalling, while other muslims say they are being victimised.
MFritz says
How dare Trump say the truth in public! This is already considered a crime in the UK…
gravenimage says
Too true.
Joe says
The only thing Trump said is, “We must keep America safe.” The rest was reciting an anonymous report that Trump’s detractors did not want to hear. Rather than attack Trump, they should attack the report.
In addition, Britain refuses to keep meaningful statistics. For example, the terror at Manchester was just ruled as not being terrorist attack. With such people keeping the statistics, no one knows the link between terror, Islam, and crime. That is on purpose.
rufluc says
As a Brit myself I’m absolutely disgusted with the leftie Lib Dem and Labour parties in the UK parliament, both of whom encourage and promote pro ‘hugga mussie’ policies so as not to be seen as anti Islam or anti immigrant in any way.
Their policies are aimed at the complete destruction of the UK economy and the advocation of open borders and the promotion of white genocide. As one might expect from such moronic traitorous individuals, the average IQ of their MP’s must be painfully low, although they would of course claim otherwise, living in lala land as they do. But the truth is, they solely exist to commit their treasonous actions against the British people whenever possible, of which there is much evidence to support this assertion. Which is why the public have voted them out of government, and laugh at the mear suggestion of them ever getting back in.
They are well known for telling endless lies and generating ‘give away’ manifestos to obtain votes from the feckless rabble and third world fraternity that vote for them.
They also readily change their pledges to anti British policies that no one in their right mind would ever vote for. The most famous being Labours ‘open door’ policy that allowed the unfettered and unregulated ‘invasion’ of millions of third world incompatable rabble into the UK that has changed our country in a hugely derogatory way, for ever! Which is why the crime rate has risen at an alarming rate.
As for the Lib Dems, they are so pathetically Liberal, that they would quite readily offer out their own mothers, sisters and daughters to the invading Muslim rabble so as to keep them placated and true to their evil beliefs, in exchange for votes! Such are their own self loathing beliefs in the total destruction and eradication of their own people, which they of course would vehemently deny if challenged. But of course actions speak louder than their cheap worthless words and we’re now living the consequences of their actions! Make no mistake, Trump is right on the nail yet again, but the truth doesn’t fit the agendas of the Lib Dems or Labour, so as normal they resort to using derogatory remarks with the intention of playing to the pathetic liberal anti Trump brigade. So treat what you hear from these MP’s with a very large pinch of salt. They do NOT speak for the majority of British people!
Anne Smith says
Spot on.
Thousands of good ordinary English people marched in London during the summer against Islamic terrorism and the Islamisation of UK and the MSM, BBC and ITV and the rest of them never mentioned one word of it.
The leaders of Britain First are trying to call attention to the lawlessness and hatred of the native English by the Muslims and all they get for their pains are constant arrests and harassment by the Police.
Take a look at some of the videos on Youtube. These poor, very ordinary people are trying to raise awareness but are treated like terrorists themselves. I do not think they have ever hurt anyone, but from the Police reaction you would think they were mass murderers.
Arasu says
I think we should organize many more marches like that one until finally they cannot ignore us.

UK friends are fairly to severly angry it’s why we saw Brexit happen and Trump get elected after 8 years of Obummer who happened to gut his own party that then stupidly propped up HRC.

Jayell says
We’ll have less of the crass generalisations, if you don’t mind! And you can leave me out of that for a start. But there is far too much ‘British reserve’ and a misguided delusion that everyone’s basically a ‘good chap’ who will eventually ‘play the game’; plus a failure to realise that being invaded doesn’t necessarily have to mean Messerschmidts and Heinkels dropping bombs on the place.

There are a lot of brave and patriotic Britons here at Jihad Watch.
Anne Smith says
Your words are misguided, we are hemmed in and hogties by the many laws which now prevent us from expressing what we think or feel.
It is now a crime to dislike religions or people.
Where there was once certainty with the law now this has been changed so that a crime is no longer a fact, but merely a “perception” of anyone who feels wronged.
If you are a Muslim you can nowadays rape in gangs and walk free with impunity but God help you if you express disapproval of this online. The Police, who have given up investigating real crimes, will be round to your house and down on you like a ton of bricks. It’s “thought crime”, you see, and that is the worst crime of all.
Our Home Secretary, the bullying Rosa Klebb lookalike, Amber Rudd, is working hard to lock up all who might harbour any worries about the Muslim attitude to infidels. Most of the senior Police officers have been on Common Purpose courses and rate racism and hatred of Marxism as the most evil crime with which they have to deal.

In the Borough Market attack a waiter who had served me3 days before was murdered, a friend of a friend was stabbed in the neck and may never speak again and other friends were there but escaped injury.

Horrifying that you have been personally affected by so much Jihad terror. I wish I could say I am surprised, though.
mummymovie says
You certainly have my support, as well as my sympathy. But we’re all in this same boat, to varying extents.
With muslims so successfully using birthright citizenship and the liberal laws of our open societies against us to advance their ongoing hijra invasion and global jihad, I desperately hope a strategy to push back and deal effectively with these problems comes soon. Unfortunately however, it probably won’t come from the top.
This madness must end.

Yes, and today, in my local UK Mall the police were out in force, spreading this fake message – obviously triggered by Trump. l bet if l walked past them with a Trump t-shirt they would have thrown me to the ground and arrested me.
They had a stall with about 5 cops and their cronies. There was a huge poster saying – ‘HATE CRIME IS WRONG’. Right next to them was a muslim shop LOL

Perhaps the police being told not to investigate low level crime like shoplifting and vandalism has something to do with the increase.
Definately Islamists have no qualms about taking non believers property as they are told in the Koran that they are entitled to it.
It would be interesting to see a report of crime statistics in no go areas of the UK, but that won’t happen because police rarely go there for fear of assault.
gravenimage says
Yes–but police are not just focusing on serious crimes like Jihad terrorism now. They are also going to Mosques and setting up tables in malls urging people to report incidents of those criticizing Islam.

Bollox Mr Trump is quite correct in what he said , take no notice of the britsh government they are lying, as the euroland . you yanks stick with trump he doing good and most of the English people love him…… Wish we had him
Wellington says
When suffering from most anything, whether self-induced (as Muslim immigration to Britain and so many other Western nations testifies to overwhelmingly) or not, just blame Trump. He is the principal scapegoat of our time for the many ills that plague one Western nation after another, even though he had NOTHING to do with the creation of these ills and is trying to correct many of them. Indeed, his very honesty, admittedly sometimes stated awkwardly, is why so many viscerally hate the man.
As is so often the case, the general consensus of the Western elites is dead wrong. As here. And no, Theresa (Sharia) May will not learn from any of this. She never learns. Ditto for the BBC, British academics aplenty, et al.
Yes, the games continue. Phony world? You betcha’.

What a hate/non story this is. The clue is is the tweet by Trump himself:
“United Kingdom crime rises 13% annually AMID spread of Radical Islamic terror.” Not good, we must keep America safe!’
I have capitalised the key word in that tweet. At no point in that tweet does Trump link the rise in crime to islamic terrorism.
ronyvo says
Some times THE TRUTH HURTS. Pres. Trump is entirely correct. Islam is grossly evil. Allah is Satan and Mohammad is one of his demons. I really don’t understand what is the problem! It is a very easy win in proving that Muslims are the main reason for the crimes in recent history. Just refer to the Koran and hadiths. All is there.
One does not need any interpretation. It is extremely CLEAR:
“I will instill terror into the hearts of the unbelievers, smite ye above their necks and smite all their finger-tips off them. It is not ye who slew them; it was God.” Surah 8:13-17.
“Fight against those who believe not in Allah nor the last day nor forbid that which has been forbidden by Allah and his messenger and those who acknowledge not the religion of truth among the people of the scripture, until they pay jiziah with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.” Surah 9:29
“Fight them, until there is no persecution and the religion is God’s” Surah 193
“O ye who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians for your friends and protectors. They are but friends and protectors to each other. And he amongst you that turns to them is on of them.” Surah 5:51 & 3:28
“Kill the mushrikeen (polytheists, Christians and non-Muslims), wherever you find them, and capture them and besiege them, and lie in wait for them in each and every ambush”. Surah 9:5
“O you who believe! Fight those of the disbelievers who are close to you, and let them find harshness in you; and know that Allah is with those who are believers.” Surah 9:123
Note: My main language is Arabic. The word fight means Kill in the Koran. KILL is the dominate word in the Koran and hadiths. To those who support Muslims, wake up and get informed. They come to our countries to dominate us. They are our MOST vicious enemy.
