A £2,000 fine! That will show those Misunderstanders of Islam at Radio Dawn! From now on they will broadcast nothing but fiercely patriotic calls to obey the British government and never try to wage jihad or impose Sharia in the UK. Won’t they?
“Muslim radio station fined for broadcasting ‘hate speech,'” by Jon Pritchard, Nottingham Post, February 27, 2018:
A radio station broadcasting to Nottingham’s Muslim community has been fined £2,000 after a talk played on the radio was found to constitute ‘hate speech’.
Watchdog Ofcom today (February 27) ruled a nasheed – a chant or speech often set to music which are popular in the Islamic world – broadcast by Radio Dawn breached its code on hate speech.
A decision published on Ofcom’s website said the 17-minute nasheed, which was broadcast on December 26, 2016, began by “glorifying the victories on the battlefield of figures from Islamic history”.
It said the broadcast also went on to “suggest that similar violent acts committed against non-Muslim people would bring honour to Islam”.
The notice said: “Further, the Nasheed included a number of pejorative references to non-Muslim people.
“In particular, non-Muslim people were repeatedly referred to as “Kufaar” (the Arabic word for disbeliever) and on one occasion, “Kaafir I Murdaar” (meaning filthy disbeliever in Urdu).”
Ofcom ruled the breach was serious and imposed a sanction of a £2,000 on the station, which is run by the Karimia Institute, which is based in Berridge Road, in Forest Fields….

And of course they were shut down and had their radio equipment seized … I won’t hold my breath with that one then. 😉
elee says
Can they arrest anyone who sells the Koran now? Lots of hatred & explicit violent commands there……
mortimer says
Agree with Elee !!! Yes, the Koran, hadiths and the Sira (official biography of Mohammed) are FILLED with HATE SPEECH and commands to ABUSE, MISTREAT, ROB, RAPE and EXTERMINATE the dirty, disbelieving KUFAAR. Normative Islam, rather than an aberration.
THE THREE PRIMARY ISLAMIC SOURCE TEXTS would be BANNED in UK if they were dragged into a COURT OF LAW and exposed as the GENOCIDAL HATE SPEECH that they are.
I long for the day when we can TAKE THE KORAN TO COURT in UK or elsewhere and HAVE IT CONDEMNED UNDER THE COUNTRY’S HATE SPEECH LAWS.
Anyone with me?

I’m with you provided we are both accompanied by such a crowd of supporters that they cannot imprison (or David Kelly) us all.

HATING THE KUFAAR (dirty disbelievers) ‘for the sake of Allah’ is NORMATIVE ISLAM, RATHER THAN AN ABERRATION … anyone who says otherwise has left Islam !
– “The HONOUR OF ISLAM LIES IN INSULTING KUFR and KAFIRS. One who respects the kafirs dishonours the Muslims… The real purpose of levying jiziya on them is to HUMILIATE them to such an extent that they may not be able to dress well and to live in grandeur. They should constantly remain TERRIFIED and TREMBLING. It is intended to hold them under CONTEMPT and to uphold the honour and might of Islam.” – from Sufi scholar Sheikh Ahmad Sirhindi (1564-1624)
“Al Walaa wal Baraa” (Islamic apartheif) is the best supported doctrine in Islam. Al Walaa wal Baraa is the normative Islamic doctrine of hostility and hatred against KAFIRS and their non-Islamic cultures.
-“Battle, animosity, and hatred…directed from the Muslim to the infidel…is the foundation of our religion. And we consider this a justice and kindness to them.” -Osama bin Laden
– “Killing a Kafir who is fighting you is OK. Killing a Kafir for any reason (i.e. criticism of Islam), you can say, it is OK – even if there is NO REASON for it. You can poison, ambush and kill non-believers. You must have a stand with your heart, with your tongue, with your money, with your hand, with your sword, with your Kalashnikov. Don’t ask shall I do this, just do it.”Abu Hamza al-Masri (Egyptian born British Cleric)
– from a lecture given by Sheikh Abdullah al-Faisal (H.A.): “The implication of al-Baraa is that one HATES for the sake of Allah (SWT)…Al-Baraa means to recognize who your enemies are and to HATE them and EXTERMINATE them in their Endeavour to get rid of your Deen, al-Islam…Al-Baraa is to HATE the people who propagate Baatil (falsehood)—the Muslim should HATE them and (at least desire to) KILL them when the time comes.”
– from ibn Taymiyya, “Book of Emaan”: “… true believers show ANIMOSITY and HATRED towards disbelievers and NEVER support them.”
– Imam Abdul-Latif ibn Abdur-Rahman Rahimullah said, “It is not possible for someone to realize Tawheed (Islamic faith) and act upon it, and yet not be HOSTILE against the mushrikeen (i.e. wrong worshippers). So anyone who isn’t HOSTILE against the mushrikeen, then it cannot be said that he acts upon Tawheed nor that he realizes it.” [ad-Durar as-Saniyyah 8/167]
-“The doctrine of al Walaa wal Baraa is the REAL IMAGE for the ACTUAL PRACTICE of this faith.” – source “Al Walaa wal Baraa According to the Aqeedah of the Salaf”, by Sheikh Muhammad Saeed al Qatani, authoritative Saudi Sharia lawyer and imam at the Abu Bakr and Al Furqan Mosques in Mecca. –

RUSSIAN COURT CONDEMNED HATE SPEECH IN KORAN IN 2013
Russian Court: Quran is extremist literature, 2013
The most positive outcome in the campaign to ban the Quran came from a Russian court in recent days. According to a news report in Russian news portal, NR News, the District Court of the city of Novorossiisk upheld a petition of the Novorossiysk transport Prosecutor requesting for recognizing the Holy Quran as an extremist book and for banning its dissemination in Russian language. On the verdict of the court, the report says:
according to the report on the study by the Forensic Center of the RUSSIAN MINISTRY of the INTERIOR for the Krasnodar territory, in the books there are statements that negatively evaluated a person or a group of persons on the grounds of ties to a specific religion (in particular, non-Muslims) and are saying that they are talking about the superiority of one person or group of persons in front of other people on grounds of their attitude to religion, in particular, of Muslims over non-Muslims; statements containing a positive assessment of hostilities of a group relative to another group of persons united, on the grounds of their attitude to religion, in particular, Muslims against non-Muslims; as well as the statements of encouragement, for semantic understanding calling for hostile and violent actions of one group of people against another group of persons united by religion, in particular, Muslims against non-Muslims.
Dissemination of extremist materials leads to an increase in extremist crime that endangers the national security of the State the Novorossiysk transport Prosecutor concluded based on 1. Article 45 of the code of civil procedure of the Russian Federation Prosecutor turn in court in defense of the interests of the Russian Federation.
The court ordered that the Quran be CLASSIFIED as EXTREMIST MATERIAL under Russian Law, its further circulation in Russian language be banned, and its existing copies in Russian be destroyed. According to a Moscow Times report on 22 Sept 2013, Muslim clerics in Russia condemned the court ruling and threatened unrest and violence if the verdict was not overturned.
The Russian court’s indictment of the Quran as extremist literature and prohibition of its dissemination in Russian language is the biggest achievement in the decades-long campaign for imposing a ban on the Quran. It should also be recognized that the number of people, who recognizes the Quran as a hateful and violence-inciting book have increased many folds since the 1980s. And as Jihadi carnage in the name of Allah’s command for Jihad in the Holy Quran, such as those in a Nairobi Mall and a Pakistan Church in recent days, continue—recognition of the Quran as a violent book, dangerous for peace and stability in the world will only intensify in the years and decades to come. So, it is only a matter of time before the Quran become almost universally recognized as dangerous extremist literature that incites hatred and violence, and many countries classify it as such alongside the Hitler’s Mein Kempf, while others impose a ban on its circulation like the Russian court has ordered.

Of course, if the Qur’an were banned, they’d probably just be arresting people like Robert Spencer for reading it…

Any white person performing a similar act would face a mandatory prison sentence. Why is hate crime handled in a manner to encourage extremism and violence when performed by Muslims ?
Westman says
Notice that the “Radio Dawn” has English language signs in the windows, one of which reads: “A Muslim is the one from whose hand and tongue people are safe”
Just like the Mosques, after a translation into English, what is actually being said is quite different than the misdirecting propaganda espoused for English consumption.
gravenimage says
Thanks for pointing that out, Westman. Yes–it actually means the opposite–that only Muslims are safe from the hand and tongue of Muslims (violence and calls for violence):
Narrated Ibn ‘Umar:
Allah’s Apostle said: “I have been ordered (by Allah) to fight against the people until they testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that Muhammad is Allah’s Apostle, and offer the prayers perfectly and give the obligatory charity, so if they perform all that, then they save their lives and property from me…
–Sahih Bukhari, Volume 1, Book 2, Number 24
Voytek Gagalka says
Starting to discover “inconvenient truth” about nature of Islam? As much as it is good than nothing, 2 thousand something pounds is meaningless! I am sure that they can afford to pay that fine and continue with their Islamic propaganda; particularly that almost certainly they will sue for “religious discrimination” and receive great support from many Mohammedan sources.

But Christians on the street preaching the Gospel get put in prison.
Judging from it’s laws and ‘justice’ system, the UK appears to be asking for an islamic state.

Some more details on the story, including partial translation of the nasheed in question:
““The man who stands against falsehood desires the death of a Mujahid10,
And we have the glorious example of Qasim’s11 cry…
…The whole world on one side and the Taliban on the other.
We are required to salute and honour their display of bravery and steadfastness…
It must be understood that justice will only be handed out at the point of the sword”. ”
Apparently this is not the first islamic local radio station to be busted for doing this:

A few good items… but all I can do is think of the saying…
One step forward, two steps back….
This could also be a primer of them coming for us and the Bible next.
Then they have a precedent. Even though this is just, the other is obviously unjust,
but the wedge is in the door.
MFritz says
The muslim community will donate the money in a couple of hours and the radio station will continue like it never happened.
Learn the lesson.
Charles T Lawson says
What did the courts do ,ASK them for a DONATION ?
Joe says
Why did they charge the person who read it as well?
Paul says
If you google Muslim radio fined you get no national media reports. We, the Brits are being kept in ignorance.
