My latest over at the Geller Report:
Recently Ivan Balhatchet, the British National Police Chiefs’ Council’s lead on honour violence, was asked by a former police officer why there had not yet been a single conviction for female genital mutilation (FGM) in the entire United Kingdom, despite there having been tens of thousands of cases of it recorded since 1985. Balhatchet’s response unwittingly revealed the priorities of Theresa May’s “diverse,” shattered, staggering, dhimmi Britain.
Amid a great deal of meaningless bureaucratic verbiage, Balhatchet let it slip by way of explanation that “there are many nuances to this crime type.” So apparently it is because of these “many nuances” that practitioners of female genital mutilation could continue to operate with impunity in Britain. Why not arrest them? It’s complicated.
In reality, it isn’t complicated at all, and there aren’t “many nuances,” either. No, Balhatchet, there is only one “nuance,” and you and I and Theresa May and all of Britain knows what that one nuance is: the people who practice female genital mutilation are Muslims, and you don’t want to offend them, and so you don’t prosecute FGM cases. It really isn’t any more “nuanced” than that, although you will batter your interlocutors with all manner of bafflegab to try to cover up that fact.
Ivan Balhatchet and the UK press will never admit it, but FGM is an Islamic practice, sanctioned by Islamic law and practiced by non-Muslims only in areas where there is a heavy Muslim presence. A manual of Islamic states: “Circumcision is obligatory (for every male and female) (by cutting off the piece of skin on the glans of the penis of the male, but circumcision of the female is by cutting out the bazr ‘clitoris’ [this is called khufaadh ‘female circumcision’]).” (Umdat al-Salik e4.3, translated by Mark Durie, The Third Choice, p. 64)
And it is widespread in 30 Muslim countries. So when Ivan Balhatchet says that he hasn’t prosecuted thousands of cases of FGM because of nuance, he means “In Britain today, the Muslims are in charge.” This is not the first time that Balhatchet has revealed this, either: he showed it in November regarding honor killing, when he likewise excused the low number of prosecutions of this crime: “‘Honour’ based abuse is a complex crime which often happens within community or family networks that many victims find it very difficult to speak out against and can face further threats, violence or isolation if they do. In all cases our priority is to safeguard vulnerable victims from this appalling form of abuse so we work to put protection orders in place as soon as possible even where a conviction is not possible.”
He can put protection orders in place, but not get a conviction? How does that make sense? Whom are these women being protected from, and why?
Here again, Balhatchet is really dragging his feet because the crime in question is inextricably bound up with Islam. Muslims commit 91 percent of honor killings worldwide. The Palestinian Authority gives pardons or suspended sentences for honor murders. Iraqi women have asked for tougher sentences for Islamic honor murderers, who get off lightly now. Syria in 2009 scrapped a law limiting the length of sentences for honor killings, but “the new law says a man can still benefit from extenuating circumstances in crimes of passion or honour ‘provided he serves a prison term of no less than two years in the case of killing.’” And in 2003 the Jordanian Parliament voted down on Islamic grounds a provision designed to stiffen penalties for honor killings. Al-Jazeera reported that “Islamists and conservatives said the laws violated religious traditions and would destroy families and values.”
As Ivan Balhatchet wrestles in vain with all this “nuance” and “complexity,” tens of thousands of girls and women in the United Kingdom are murdered or condemned to lives of misery and pain. But that is the price of having a “multicultural” and “diverse” society these days, and so this witless functionary is likely still to be puzzling about all the dizzying intricacies of prosecuting crimes such as FGM and honor killing at the very moment when, in the new Sharia UK, they are decriminalized altogether.

It is unbelievable how the “PC culture” has infected the entire law and order establishment. Instead of ridding the country of the 7th century evil death culture known as izlaam, kowtowing to it has now become the norm. UNBELIEVABLE!!
StellaSaidSo says
This moron is undoubtedly a ‘graduate’ of the subversive cultural Marxist program called COMMON PURPOSE, which has corrupted the minds of many senior officers in UK (along with hundreds of people in other professions).
How many Muslims are there in UK police forces these days?
Thomas Kimball says
Judging how close together his eyes are he’s a moron! Reminds me of Prince Charles! A product of to much inbreeding!
StellaSaidSo says
LOL, he reminds me of Henry Bolton, another well-known British moron.

Those who have not yet done so should view the Youtube channel of Pat Condell for more on the evil of Common Purpose.
StellaSaidSo says
Another useful source on the activities of Common Purpose in UK is Brian Gerrish, of UK COLUMN.
Anne Smith says
Absolutely spot on Stella.
We have a big problem in UK because Teresa May is very in favour of the Common Purpose programme – she has probably undergone it herself, judging by her dreadful leftie views and useless attempt to govern what was once a decent country.
StellaSaidSo says
I agree, Anne, I have no doubt that Theresa is a CP ‘graduate’. CP works best on people who have ambition but who lack both intellectual distinction and a functioning moral compass. The weak are easily manipulated.

From 8:42 to 11:10 you can see where this stupid teacher does nothing other than tell them that being “peaceful” should be enough and they can otherwise continue on with their own little “identities”. She is part of the problem. Superficiality won’t suffice. There are deeper and darker things going on in Islamic “culture”.

Muslims are cutting women for the sole reason that MOHAMMED SAID SO.
That is just TOO BAD. We do not allow the practice of Aztec human sacrifice. (Too bad, Aztecs.)
We should stop FGM by putting people in jail. TOO BAD, MUSLIMS. Move to a country were barbarism is allowed. We don’t want it.
J D S says
Right on Mortimer…..don’t bring their uncivilized bushman practices here…..we have crawled up out of the slime and climbed down out if the trees…but are we going in reverse?
MFritz says
Balhatchet should resign. He clearly isn’t needed anymore.
Sharia law obviously takes care of “business” in the UK now and democratic laws and a humanistic mindset aren’t accepted at all by the majority of muslims who clearly want, tolerate and/or commit these crimes. Every. Single. Day.
David E munson says
Is this statement if convenience, capitulation or a change in English national norms.
Linda says
If Britain won’t stand up for its own laws and is going to allow 2 parallel societies in the British Isles, one with Sharia law and one without it, as long as they’re only cutting their own women, who cares?
Carol (the 1st) says
We don’t have the power to save the entire world from itself but a helpless child isn’t a group’s possession. If some culture refuses to recognize its own child abuse and wants to perform such surgery on your kitchen table with your child watching while you stand by per PC dictates, then our character and decency are under attack. They must change or go back to whatever hole out of which they emerged.
Kay says
This betrayal comes from the widespread refusal to celebrate and embrace our own culture and values, the growing inability to see that there is wrong and right.
Phil Copson says
Shall we write Mr Balhatchet’s next press release for him ? – “Since we announced our new, vibrant, diverse, inclusive blah-blah etc etc caliphate-friendly customer-facing police service and scrapped the Criminal Code in line with 21st Century requirements, crime has decreased by an amazing 100% !
As there are no laws to enforce, there will also no longer be any need for policemen to uphold them, with a consequent tremendous saving in training, man-power, courts, prisons etc etc. My friend Mr Mohammed assures me that the day-to-day running of British society can safely be left to him and his friends, in return for a small fee of 20% of earnings to be levied on all non-muslims. In fact, I really can’t think why nobody has thought of this before! Inshallah.”
JAR says
Of course, Phil, with UK policemen no longer needed, as he might envision the bright multi-culti future, the Sharia police would step in to fill the vacancy and vacuum, along with the 20% and all other Sharia norms. Too bad Officer Balhatchet will not enforce law and order now, because later on he will come to regret his new surroundings, the new state of affairs, and his abdication of duty.
In admittedly bad taste, one can hardly avoid the temptation of commenting on his last name. It’s not simply the combination of ball and hatchet. But he himself is commenting precisely on the subject of FGM. He might better appreciate and appraise the situation, and crisis, and degradation, of Brit society, if he had had a hatchet taken to his private parts. I’m in now way whatsoever advocating that this be done, of course. Yet, were he to imagine this procedure, it might have the necessary effect of shaking him and frightening him out of his dhimmi stupor.
Ren says
UK is becoming a dhimmi country. Good for them since they have chosen dhimmitude.
Anne Smith says
Not all of us – many Islamic people have been imported and are given the vote. The native Brits are diminishing by the day and their traditional values with them.
SoCalMike says
These Western Europeans are not the same ones we liberated in 1945 are they?
If they are, then we wasted too many American lives for worse than nothing.
brane pilot says
I used to wonder how it was possible to get young Englishmen to march into machine guns in WWI.
Now I know. This time it is not machine guns, it is annihilation of national and ethnic identity. But into it they obediently march, without a peep of protest.
Over the top Lads. That’s good. Keep it up.

Robert Spencer at the Geller Report: UK Cop Says FGM Too “Nuanced” to Prosecute
……………….
If someone hacked his d*ck off with a piece of broken glass or a rusty razor blade, would that be too “nuanced” to prosecute, as well?
Matthieu Baudin says
We’ve got to keep this pot on the boil right up until FGM (the castration of girls) goes into the dustbin of history. I’m not aware of any agency, news outlet or community forum around the world that has been more committed and consistent in it’s campaign against FGM than Jihad Watch. The moral strength and fortitude that Robert Spencer and Christine Douglas-Williams in particular have demonstrated is reminiscent of the early 20th Century community campaigns for the abolition of slavery. It may seem like a slow drip approach to confronting this issue but it will succeed in eroding all the nonsense and self serving arguments that keep this savage practice in place.
Carolyne says
I hope this idiot, Balhatchet, is reading here since this is about him. I could not find an address to email him directly as I usually do to the police in the UK when I read an article showing them to be without brains. There is only one “Nuance” to FGM. It is to insure that a female will not enjoy sex and will insure that she not go looking for sex once she’s married. Perhaps you agree with this “Nuance” and think women should be mutilated so they will not stray or perhaps you have been brainwashed by Muslim doctrine. What ever the case, I find you to be repulsive and unworthy of the position you hold. You have an opportunity to help save your country from the Muslim invasion, yet you choose to join it. Kindly remove the “Bal” part of your name as you have none.
