Maybe Joseph Breslin is a lout. A real boor. A creep. Maybe so. But prison? In Britain? For writing “death to Allah” on a napkin? What about all the jihad preachers that the UK not only does not prosecute, but welcomes?
While I am banned from the country for correctly noting that Islam has doctrines calling for violence against non-Muslims, Britain has a steadily lengthening record of admitting jihad preachers without a moment of hesitation.
Syed Muzaffar Shah Qadri’s preaching of hatred and jihad violence was so hardline that he was banned from preaching in Pakistan, but the UK Home Office welcomed him into Britain.
The UK Home Office recently admitted Shaykh Hamza Sodagar into the country, despite the fact that he has said: “If there’s homosexual men, the punishment is one of five things. One – the easiest one maybe – chop their head off, that’s the easiest. Second – burn them to death. Third – throw ’em off a cliff. Fourth – tear down a wall on them so they die under that. Fifth – a combination of the above.”
May’s government also admitted two jihad preachers who had praised the murderer of a foe of Pakistan’s blasphemy laws. One of them was welcomed by the Archbishop of Canterbury.
A Muslim preacher from South Africa who likened Jews to fleas had no problem getting into the country and even spoke in a government building.
Meanwhile, the UK banned three bishops from areas of Iraq and Syria where Christians are persecuted from entering the country.
400 Islamic State jihadis have returned to UK, only 54 have been prosecuted.
“Qatar Airways passenger facing jail for writing ‘death to Allah’ on plane armrest,” by Tristan Kirk, Evening Standard, October 4, 2017:
A Qatar Airways passenger who scrawled “death to Allah” on his armrest because he was unhappy with business class service is facing jail.
Joseph Breslin, 36, wrote the words after becoming “tired and irritated” on a flight into Heathrow Airport.
He then wrote an Islamophobic note on a napkin attacking Muslims wearing headscarves, dropping it between two passengers after the plane landed.
Isleworth crown court heard Breslin, who runs a pub in south London, targeted the pair because he believed one had been deliberately spraying perfume to annoy him.
“He was in the business class section and was complaining throughout the flight”, said prosecutor Bill McGivern. “As the plane was coming to land, one of the crew noticed him scribbling on the armrest of the seat.
“He then left his seat and went between two other passengers, leaving a note which was very derogatory towards people who wear headscarves and it said ‘death to Allah’.”
Mr McGivern said the note, in English, was translated to the passengers, who were left “frightened and terrified”. He added: “They had been travelling to this country and had this effectively thrust under their noses.” Complaints were made to staff and he was arrested as he got off the plane on July 8. Jeremy Wainwright, mitigating, said the incident was out of character: “He had become irritated by his fellow passengers, he felt in particular they appeared to have an attitude towards him….
Breslin, from Bromley, pleaded guilty to two charges of religiously aggravated harassment and a count of religiously aggravated criminal damage.
Judge Annabel Darlow QC freed him on bail until sentencing on October 31, but warned him a prison sentence was likely. Asking for a report from the probation service, she said: “Nothing has been said which sheds any light on why Mr Breslin chose to behave in this extraordinarily offensive and unpleasant way.”

PaulM says
Muslims dry hump little babies and little girls until they are fully sexually mature at the ripe old age of 9. muslims can rape, kill, torture, maim and publicly threaten whomever they want. And this poor bugger writes a note that expresses the hopes and feeling and beliefs of the majority of people on this planet and the elitists spineless, gutless cowards that run the country on behalf of islam and all muslim cancerous fascist slime want to jail him. Great Britain, is about as “Great” as a fart in a hurricane. What a nation of cowards and snivelers.

AND MY CRIME ??.. I found out about Muslim Corruption in the NHS in HUMAN ORGAN TRANSPLANTS , The Govt KNOWS this is going on and has been going on for MANY MANY YEARS..In other words … KILLINGS in the NHS..

This guy is an idiot for even travelling on a muslim airline – The attitude toward lnfidels is predictable.

“Mr McGivern said the note, in English, was translated to the passengers, who were left “frightened and terrified” – Yeah tell me another sob story – LOL
IMO, he’s totally justified in saying ‘Death to Allah’ – considering what their moon god is responsible for [1400 yrs of slaughter and slavery in his name]

fbijihadidefender says
Why don’t the UK court summons Allah and ask him whether “death to Allah” has offended him ?
Moshe says
Mr. Spencer, how can you defend such boorish behavior? It is easy to imagine how threatened the other passengers felt on reading these scurrilous words. What if a note threatening a second Holocaust had been scribbled on an arm rest on an El Al plane?
And after all, it is not as if Mr. Beslin had not been warned. The commitment of the UK to multiculturalism is well known. Even former US President Obama (a Nobel Laureate) cautioned at the UN that the future must not belong to those who slander the Prophet. What was Mr. Breslin thinking?
Westman says
Perhaps you live in a society where people are prosecuted for their comments and jailed? In the US that could only happen if a threat was made toward a real entity and could be judged to be viable.
“Death to God” is not viable, nor is “Death to Allah” since the translation of Allah to English is God; that is for all of Islam “God” = “Allah”. Gods, by definition, have no vulnerability to mortals. Equating this to, “threatening a second Holocaust”, is absurd.
Yes, the man was a “boor”, deserving no respect; living in a society that is quickly losing its own identity, sliding relentlessly, with a push from Islam, toward dystopia. Fining him for minor vandalism would be appropriate, but jailing is a political and social penalty to warn all to heed the government’s desire.
The UK should be very careful about speech laws. From what we have observed, the West considers laws to be protective while elements of Islam consider them to be usable weapons having an impact proportional to the claimed, real or invented, grievances.
JawsV says
I disagree. Mr. Breslin deserves respect for writing what we should all be saying. No, he’s not a boor. Islam is the boor. Islam is the #1 problem of the 21st century.

What’s wrong with “Death to Allah,” the fictitious Islamic moon deity? Allah instructs the killing of non-Muslims called Jihad (see Koran). Scurrilous is comparing bloodthirsty Jew-hating Allah to the Holocaust, a real event in which millions of Jews were mass-murdered. I concur, “Death to Allah!” Obama was an idiot. Allah sucks and murderous Mohammed sucks. Bravo Mr. Breslin you did good. Sorry you’ll have to pay for your bravery with prison but your country (UK) is nuts.

Constant apologist for dhimmitude “Moshe” wrote:
Mr. Spencer, how can you defend such boorish behavior?
………………………………
Actually, Robert Spencer says that Joseph Breslin may be “a lout. A real boor. A creep.”–how is *that* ‘defending boorish behavior”? Of course, it is not.
What Mr. Spencer is questioning is Breslin *facing prison* for boorish behavior.
Surely even you understand the concept of the punishment fitting the “crime”? Or do you believe that Mr. Breslin should be executed? Stoned to death, perhaps?
More:

The idea that the passengers actually believed that Mr. Breslin was threatening to kill “Allah” and was capable of following through is just absurd.

………………………………
Perhaps he was thinking that England was still a free country, and that criticism of religion was still allowed.
“Moshe” is crowing over his being wrong…
Note, too, that “Moshe” considers a “commitment to multiculturalism” to include prison time for “blasphemy” against Islam…sounds more like implementation of Shari’ah law, instead.

A very alarming Orwellian law proposal.
The lesson of Orwell’s 1984 is incomplete. It describes the conditions before the revolution that these same conditions will produce. It is not in human nature to love, “big brother”, in a failing dystopia. The actual history of humans predicts that all totalitarian governments are eventually overthrown or discarded.
Laws like those proposed by Amber Rudd simply accelerate the process. Muzzling dogs disarms them. Muzzling humans creates viable silent enemies among the citizens.

obviously it is you atheists with your common sense that have led britain down this path . wholesale abandonment of christianity and british traditions paved the way for islam . britain has become a rudderless society and those seeking some moral guidance and societal cohesion will sway towards islam . yet you don’t see how your excessively liberal ways has paved a path for islam, you continue to preach atheism as islam swallows you .
no atheist will fight islam ,there is no motivation to loose their lives over any religion and so they are the first to cave .fortunately the islamics will not tolerate your views like christianity does. at least u can enjoy a country with no awful irritating christian street preachers
gravenimage says
Balafama, the idea that no Atheist will fight Islam is mistaken.
Jihad Watch’s own Hugh Fitzgerald is an Atheist, as are brave Anti-Jihadists like Ayaan Hirsi Ali. I personally know quite a few Atheists who are passionately opposed to Islam.
Your implication that all Atheists hate Christianity is also mistaken.
overman says
Balafama, l’m not an atheist, but know and respect many atheists – like stefan molyneaux who has made many anti-islamic videos. You don’t have to be a bible-thrashing christian in order to see and fight the insanity of islam. Anyway, there are many Spiritual traditions that are willing to stand against islam, not just christianity, but first and foremost common-sense is needed, imo.
Also, most of the politicians in the British parliament are christians who are welcoming muslims with open arms. The Queen is head of the church of england and her son [charles] is in bed with the Saudi’s! And do any of the Churches in britain speak out against islam – no, like the Pope, there down on their knees kissing and washing muslim feet.
But, you have my respect by being on this site, and even if l was an atheist l’d fight by your side in a common cause against lslamic Tyranny.
overman says
Sorry, that should be:
“A revival of common-sense would be enough”
Pet Charles says
I still don’t think people get it yet!! The governments of the UK and Europe are trying to provoke citizens to anger and revolt so they could use that to justify fascists goals they have in store. It is so obvious that if you allow Islam to insult, threaten, commit terrorist attacks and then try to imprison or silence those who speak out against it that you have some nefarious objective. You have bigamy laws but admit polygamist and give each of their wives separate homes and prosecute your natives for bigamy. What other reason is there other than provoking social unrest.
eduardo odraude says
What other reason? There are two reasons: 1) some people do not know that Islam’s core texts constitute an aggressive, expansionist, totalitarian program for society. To them, resistance to Islamization just seems like bigotry with a fascist agenda behind it; 2) some people know what Islam is, but are too afraid to stand in its way because a) the left will smear you as a racist bigot fascist, you’ll go to jail, lose your job, etc., and b) once your face and name is plastered on the internet as an Islam critic, you have to worry indefinitely about a target on your back for jihadists. Both parts of #2 are creating a “perfect storm” threatening freedom. If you only had a) or you only had b), the situation would be easy to deal with. But put a) and b) together, and freedom starts to lose. It gets hit from two sides at once. More people need to self-educate and take a public stand.

Not nknowing all the facts of this case, not sure he deserves prison. Given the fact there is a double standard. To get preferential treatment in western countries, one must be either Muslim or LGBT. Maybe a socialist gets a pass too. It’s rediculius. I wonder how long muslims will put up with liberals and socialists to keep this privileged status. Probably when they are comfortable with their chances to take control. Then I wonder what the liberal does then. Convert? Grovel and become slaves? Maybe run to those they hate and persecute now asking for help?

Englishman faces prison in UK for writing “death to Allah” on Qatar Airways plane armrest

Well, this is *insane*. If he wrote on an armrest, this is perhaps a (very minor) destruction of property. The airline could have charged him for that.
The idea of jail time for this *is madness*.
mortimer says
GI, the only hope for Joseph Breslin to live is if he can plead INSANITY. He had better start working on his jailguards and lawyer to convince them that he is ‘insane’, then the local authorities can have him sent back to England as a ‘patient’… wink-wink-nudge-nudge.
Otherwise, a blasphemer MAY NOT BE FORGIVEN under Sharia and execution is obligatory, since he is making verbal warfare against Allah. Islamic law says that VERBAL WARFARE is worse than physical fighting, because of the Koran and because Mohammed is not alive to do the forgiving as Allah’s representative and PARTNER.

It’s basically sharia enforcement. If this guy had written something defamatory about Jesus nobody would have cared much at all. But mention allah or muhammad and you can expect fines or jail. If someone had told me before 9/11 that western nations would be embracing sharia madness in lieu of free speech I would have laughed. If it’s this bad already wait until 20 years from now when islam’s retarded barbarities have saturated every part of British society. If this guy can’t put into print “death to allah” then muslims shouldn’t be allowed “kill the infidel, ” especially when that incitement is causing mass terror and death. I feel the need to make a point here, like maybe I should speak in solidarity with this guy. So here it goes:
Allah is d*ckhead with the morals of a serial killer
Muhammad was an immoral prick that killed, raped, and tortured
Islam is a depraved, filthy pack of lies and plagiarisms that incites crime and murder
People that believe muhammad was a “best example” are morally insane
Imams who teach koranic violence as divine truth are spiritually inept & a danger to society
Sharia is a barbaric legal system for a barbaric people
Islam is a culture of abuse against women, children, and human rights
Politicians who defend islam are traitors with criminal intent
Probably not my most creative insults, but nonetheless fact based. I’d rather die standing than live kneeling. I don’t have to respect islam’s depraved teachings because it doesn’t respect us. Islam is a fascist ideology with some religious delusion thrown in. It’s immoral trash, it’s laughably stupid, and I spit on it literally and figuratively. And the day I can’t say that is the day freedom dies. So you can bet I’m going to say it every chance I get. People have a right to speak against immorality and crime, islam’s retarded teachings should never be above criticism when it deserves to be ridiculed. It’s a stupendous absurdity that we should compromise even one iota of our dignity and rights for what is unquestionably the world’s most violent and insane superstition.
Why don’t I ever hear the atheists speaking out against this barbaric creed? Are they all sleeping?

It’s a shame that Trump is an ignorant, inarticulate halfwit whom few hold in high esteem. The situation in the UK is so bad that it calls for a heavy wet blanket of doubt to be thrown down upon the heads of Britain’s political and chattering classes by a person of influence. A president who commanded much greater respect than that enjoyed by DJT could throw down that smothering wet blanket by asking a few poignant questions and making incisive remarks. For example:
But no. Trump and his puppeteers are back to the GOP’s favorite old tricks and gimmicks, e.g. playing around with the tax code and preparing for another premeditated war.

funny how the 2 muslims felt “frightened and terrified” because of a scribble on a piece of paper.

As the good mayor of London said in a big city these things happen.

A rude note penned on a napkin about death to a make believe God Allah, Mohammed sock puppet gets a man jail time because the Islamics fear the note. The Islamics are afraid of insults on wet napkins. The Islamics are afraid of woman showing their hair and faces, beer, pork, Church bells, singing , dancing, music,men and women talking joking, Jews , Christians ,Buddhist, Hindus, Allah must be a very weak God if he demands outrage from his believers on so many innocent every day human actions commit. What is it like to go threw life in a blind paranoid rage about every human being not believing in your violent monster moon god.
