UK: Muslims threaten to kill Muslim boxer for putting up a Christmas tree

Dec 20, 2017 9:33 am By Robert Spencer

“I promise to god i want kill you and your family amir.”

The UK has imported a culture of violence. Do they think those who are threatening Amir Khan will become loyal, productive Britons? They’re in for a rude surprise.

“Amir Khan and wife Faryal Makhdoom receive death threats for putting up a Christmas tree,” Manchester Evening News, December 20, 2017:

Bolton boxer Amir Khan has been targeted with online death threats – because he decided to put up a Christmas tree.

I’m A Celebrity star Amir – a devout Muslim – shared a picture his Christmas tree on Instagram – and one of his followers threatened to kill him for ‘betraying’ his religion.

Other made threats against his family – including his pregnant wife Faryal and and his three year old daughter Lamaisah.

“While everyone’s asleep, daddy put the Christmas tree up,” Amir posted, alongside a picture of the decorated tree. ‘Lamaisah’s going to be happy. Christmas #MerryChristmas2017.”

Although many of his 1.2million followers has kind words and compliments over the sparkling tree, others accused the boxing champ of confusing his child.

One troll threatened: “I promise to god i want kill you and your family amir.”

With another adding: “Muslims don’t celebrate Christmas. It’s one thing to give out cards at school your respecting other faith and their celebration but putting up a tree in your own home….poor kid will be well confused.”…

One supporter jumped to Khan’s defence, saying: “I read the Quran and it is clear that Jesus is also a prophet. People slating him must not read the Quran.”…

    muslims are boring…always the same violence refrain…killing, killings, don’t offend …

      Isn’t it ironic. I am a critic of Islam the doctrine but hold no rancor for the common Muslim. I have Persian prayer rugs on wooden floors in the nicest rooms of my house. I betray nobody with my prayer rugs, but honor the trade of craft and ideas. This coercive rhetoric does nothing more than further the dishonor Islam.

        It implements and executes the explicit commands of the Prophet. That’s the danger and the dishonor of it. And if you read this web site you’ve seen the Koranic citations every day. Recognize that this is not a benign phenomenon.

      Islam….the Religion of the Perpetually Offended.

    So where in the koran does it say a pious Islamist is not allowed to decorate their house with relics from Pagan celebrations. And killing someone because you don’t like it is a bit on the extreme side wouldn’t you say. But then what do you expect from a death cult.

    • elee says

      Dec 20, 2017 at 10:25 am

      The arts are generally frowned upon in Islam. I don’t have a koranic cite offhand but be aware that there are a lot of other sources of theological authority in Islam—-collections of sayings attributed to the Prophet, later theological treatises, &&C—-full of gems like prohibitions on musical instruments and representational art.

        I went searching for some Christmas music from the Muslim Tabernacle Choir and there wasn’t any. Then I searched for the Muslim Symphony, same result.

        I did find a symphony “conductor” who said, “..there is no bomb, stay seated. I am not a madman!” while he lectured Queen Beatrix on Islam.

        Art and Music( from “Reliance of the traveller”)
        r40.1 says that musical instruments are condemned.

        (r40.3) – One should know that singing or listening to singing is offensive (with the exception of songs that encourage piety).

        (p44.1) – Every maker of pictures will go to the fire, where a being will be set upon him for each picture he made, to torment him in hell

        (w50.2) – Pictures imitate the creative act of Allah (when they are of animate beings).

        (o17.9) – It is unlawful to decorate walls with pictures (generally interpreted as pictures of animate beings).

    UK: Muslims threaten to kill Muslim boxer for putting up a Christmas tree

    One troll threatened: “I promise to god i want kill you and your family amir.”
    ……………………………

    I guess this pious fellow didn’t notice the Tesco ad that showed that it was fine for devout Muslims to put up Christmas decorations and have other Muslims over to celebrate…

    Islam truly is a death cult.

    • Save Europe says

      Dec 20, 2017 at 11:46 am

      Tesco, per se, offends me – earlier in the year, an entire aisle named ‘Ramadan Mubarak.’ I noticed someone had placed packs of sausages and bacon hither and thither along the aisle.

      • Robin says

        Dec 22, 2017 at 5:05 am

        Very brave or foolish. You can get a year in the slammer for that “hate crime”.

  4. Phil Copson says

    Dec 20, 2017 at 10:06 am

    To be accurate, the troll didn’t threaten to kill him – he just swore by some unspecified god that he wanted to. Personally, I’d quite like a variety of things too, such as the immediate banishment of the afore-mentioned troll back to his primitive land of origin, but they won’t come about by appealing to some cave-dwelling caliph, and especially not to a non-existent one. So – nothing much to worry about there, Amir – enjoy Christmas with your family.

    And Christmas trees have nothing to do with Christmas, of course, any more than do tinsel, holly, ivy, snowmen, Santa Claus, reindeer, balloons, paper-chains, Dickensian snow-scenes, or Coca-Cola ads.

    Speaking for myself – or rather, getting Tony Hancock to say it for me: “Christmas is going to be just like any other day in this house – dead miserable!”

    • gravenimage says

      Dec 20, 2017 at 11:26 am

      Phil, if I got an email like that, I’d take it as a threat.

    • Richard says

      Dec 20, 2017 at 2:36 pm

      Yes, Phil: Santa Clause and his sleigh came from the heathen deity Diana flying in a sleigh drawn by reindeer and dropping out blessings and gifts from a cornucopia. She was co-opted by St. Nicholas, a bishop who secretly gave money to a poor man for dowries so he could marry off his daughters. The Christmas tree comes from Scandinavia, when at every Samhain the tree at Uppsala, Sweden, (and presumably elsewhere) was decorated with corpses of two of every species available including human beings hanging from its branches. The fact that brunettes were the preferred offerings to Frey/Freyja is why blondes are so common in the Nordic nations today. Martin Luther later brought a tree into his home on Christmas for his sick daughter. As I understand it, Christmas trees were banned in early America.

        “The fact that brunettes were the preferred offerings to Frey/Freyja is why blondes are so common in the Nordic nations today.”

        Bokkols. More genetics and low sunlight. Ditto the pale skin.

  5. Tom says

    Dec 20, 2017 at 12:10 pm

    The Christmas tree represents all that is good and those thugs who threaten a family for having one are but the evil representation of a twisted and warped ideology.

    The threats of death are expected if someone even wavers slightly from the Sharia and the evil doctrine of Islam.

    Brits had better wake up, get off their arses and start protesting the radical ideology of hate and death that is Islam or continue to bury their heads in their tv and suffer the fate of Sweden.

    • Robeaver says

      Yes those good pagans from whom the tree, stolen, was. Maybe,human sacrifice and slavery,were,just,rumours……no,wait, Christianity stole,that,as,well.

    All Christians should pray that boxer Amir Khan and his family should receive the Holy Spirit and accept Savior Jesus +.

  8. WorkingClassPost says

    Dec 20, 2017 at 12:57 pm

    Seems that Amir has reached the stage where any further integration will offend many of his coreligionists, and the more he integrates, the more they will be offended.

    I wonder if his namesake in the mayor’s office calls him Uncle Tom, yet? We’ll probably never know, because mayor Kahn has apparently learned to keep such sentiments well hidden.

    What was that about Muslims not being offended by Christmas.

  11. Steve's nephew says

    Dec 20, 2017 at 3:57 pm

    The Muslims expect everyone else to be tolerant towards them. But they are not the least bit tolerant themselves.

  12. Sarah says

    Dec 20, 2017 at 4:08 pm

    Honestly, I am surprised that he put the tree up AND then, put it on social media.

    Although, I don’t know why I’m so surprised, this idiot is dumber than a box of rocks, along with his inbred, vicious, equally stupid family.

    It must just BURN these Muslims living in the West come Christmas time when they’re assaulted 24/7 by the nonstop saturation of Christmas from October through to the end of the year. I’ll remember to think of that and smile my head off today, when I’m picking up some last Christmas gifts and have to listen to Jingle Bells for the 29th time over the PA system at the shopping centre.

    ‘Tis the season that keeps on giving!

    Threatened with death for a Christmas tree, for posing with an Israeli at a beauty pageant, for drawing Mohammed… How tiresome the Free World does not confront this with even a fraction of the enthusiasm with which it confronts us.

    ; The “creator of the universe is personally threated by a tree, and needs malignant narcissists to carry out their actions? Why is it the “creator of the universe” can’t take care of themself? Is such a weak entity worthy of protection, and veneration?

    • Robin says

      Dec 22, 2017 at 5:23 am

      It is credibly rumoured that Allah will pass English and Mandarin GCSEs with top marks quite soon so as to translate his Quran. So he’s not as weak as you suggest.

  16. LeftisruiningCanada says

    Dec 21, 2017 at 1:57 pm

    If a well known figure like Amir Khan is subjected to this kind of treatment by his ‘brothers’, imagine what it’s like for normal everyday muslims.

    Similar to how islam only persists because of death threats for anyone who leaves the religion, Islamic communities only exist because of threats and fear.

    What a thoroughly nasty set of beliefs islam is.

    It’s as if a clever but evil intelligence set out to create the best way to get humans to ruin themselves and everything good in the world.

    • LeftisruiningCanada says

      Dec 22, 2017 at 12:30 am

      Although, he was raised a Naqshbandi. The wahabi influenced muslims kinda look down on them as not really being muslims from what i’ve read. Too much ‘innovation’.

      That might have something to do with this.

    • Robin says

    Surely he has to wait until Boxing Day to put up the tree?

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=8&v=GWORE6OBfhc ISIS is TRUE islam, Better believe it, Radical Followers are the TRUE islamic Followers and the moderates are meaningless to true followers. Moderates either become radical or are killed like the unbelievers, so when you let islam into your country, you let ISIS in also, every country islam has left even just a footprint, Death, Destruction and a loss of Civilization always Follows, make no mistake about it.

    Islam is not a religion, but a complete Barbaric civilization. Islam has a position or rule for every aspect of life. It is a religion, culture and political system, a complete way of life. If Islam were only a religion, it would be of no concern. As an example, Buddhism is a religion, how much media and political space is concerned about Buddhism? Buddhism makes no demands on a civilization. Islam makes demands on every facet of society.
    Totalitarianism is a political system of absolute power where the state has no limit to its authority and regulates most aspects of public and private life. There are no competing political parties since they would balance and limit authority. The critical element of totalitarianism is absolute power striving to rule in as many areas of life as possible.
    Totalitarianism in Islamic Doctrine
    Totalitarianism is found in the very name, Islam. Islam means submission, submission to the Koran and the Sunna of Mohammed. We see the basis for absolute power in Mohammed’s life. After he went to Medina, he became a jihadist and attacked his neighbors. When he arrived in Medina, it was half Jewish. In two years, there were no more Jews left in Medina. They were exiled, assassinated, enslaved and executed. Mohammed attacked the pagans of Arabia and the Jews. After Arabia submitted to Islam, Mohammed turned to Syria and attacked the Christians.
    In the end, Political Islam will not tolerate opposition. After Mohammed died, Abu Bakr, his closest companion, became caliph. His first order was to attack and crush the Muslims who wanted to leave Islam. Everyone must submit to Islam and once a Muslim, you must remain a Muslim, or you can be punished.
    The next companion of Mohammed who became caliph was Umar. His ten year rule was spent in jihad conquest of the Christian and Zoroastrian Kafirs.
    Turkey used to be called Anatolia or Asia Minor and was a Christian civilization. Today Turkey is over 95% Muslim. North Africa, Egypt, Iraq, Syria and Lebanon used to be Christian. Afghanistan was Buddhist; Pakistan and Malaysia used to be Hindu. Today they are more than 95% Muslim. Islam does not reach a balance point with the native civilization; it dominates and annihilates the indigenous culture over time.

    This process of total civilizational domination is the Law of Islamic Saturation. The doctrine calls for jihad to never cease until the native population submits to the Sharia. As time goes on, the Sharia brings about submission to Islam. The doctrine is totalitarian, so the result is totalitarian.

    Islam is the most successful totalitarian system in history. There are post-Communist societies and post-Nazi societies but, there are no post Islamic societies.
