“Both Southern and Robinson told Fox News that the material being referred to was a social experiment in which they passed around a fake ‘LGBT for Islam UK’ poster that said: ‘Allah is Gay, Allah is Trans, Allah is Lesbian, Allah is Intersex, Allah is Feminist, Allah is Queer, Allah is All of Us.’ The experiment in Luton, which has a significant Islamic population, was in response to a Vice article that asked whether Jesus was gay, and was conducted to show what the Islamic reaction would be if a similar claim was made about Allah. Robinson said they were forced to take the posters down by police and told it was for their own safety. Both Robinson and Southern denied that the materials were racist, arguing that criticizing a religion is not a racist act.”
Indeed it isn’t. Any system of ideas can and should be scrutinized and criticized. What Southern did was violate Sharia blasphemy laws. That is, apparently, forbidden in Theresa May’s Britain.
Note also the ham-handed ineptness of the British authorities hunting for “right-wing extremists”: “They asked me if I’m a Christian extremist, asked me how I feel about running over people with cars. They asked me about Tommy Robinson, asked how I would describe myself politically, asked me how I would describe nationalism.”
As if those who oppose jihad terror and Sharia oppression describe themselves as “extremists” and want to run over their foes with cars. How did Britain get so filled with idiots?
“Right-wing journalist Lauren Southern denied entry to UK, purportedly over criticism of Islam,” by Adam Shaw, Fox News, March 12, 2018:
Canadian right-wing journalist and activist Lauren Southern was barred from entering the United Kingdom on Monday, purportedly over a poster she distributed about Islam in February — making her the latest international right-wing figure to be denied entry to the U.K. after criticizing the religion.
The U.K. Home Office confirmed to Fox News that Southern was refused entry to the U.K. at the border in Calais, France on the grounds that her entry was not “conducive to the public good.”
“Border Force has the power to refuse entry to an individual if it is considered that his or her presence in the UK is not conducive to the public good,” a Home Office spokesman said in a statement. The spokesman did not offer specifics as to why her entry was refused.
Southern, speaking to Fox News from France, said that she was to visit friends in the U.K., including Tommy Robinson — the controversial founder of the right-wing English Defense League who is also known for his fiery criticism of Islam.
Southern said she was detained for six hours at the Calais border port, had her phone taken from her as she was held in a detention center and questioned for four hours in a line of interrogation she described as “bizarre.”
“They asked me if I’m a Christian extremist, asked me how I feel about running over people with cars,” she told Fox News. “They asked me about Tommy Robinson, asked how I would describe myself politically, asked me how I would describe nationalism.”
Southern said a notice of refusal of entry she was given cited a prior “distribution of racist materials” in February in Luton, which the document said “represents a threat to the fundamental interests of society and to the public policy of the United Kingdom.”
Both Southern and Robinson told Fox News that the material being referred to was a social experiment in which they passed around a fake “LGBT for Islam UK” poster that said: “Allah is Gay, Allah is Trans, Allah is Lesbian, Allah is Intersex, Allah is Feminist, Allah is Queer, Allah is All of Us.”
The experiment in Luton, which has a significant Islamic population, was in response to a Vice article that asked whether Jesus was gay, and was conducted to show what the Islamic reaction would be if a similar claim was made about Allah. Robinson said they were forced to take the posters down by police and told it was for their own safety. Both Robinson and Southern denied that the materials were racist, arguing that criticizing a religion is not a racist act….
Meanwhile, the left-wing Southern Poverty Law Center slammed Southern’s “anti-feminist, xenophobic, Islamophobic diatribes [that] tiptoe at the precipice of outright white nationalism” and branded her the “alt-right’s Canadian dog whistle.”
Her latest book “Barbarians: How the Baby Boomers, Immigration, and Islam Screwed My Generation” includes a recommendation from U.S. commentator Ann Coulter: “Buy this book before liberals ban it.”
But Southern told Fox that her treatment at the U.K. border indicates that something new may be afoot.
“It seems it could be marking the end of conservative speech in the U.K. or the beginning of an era of serious censorship,” Southern said.
Southern’s ban comes days after right-wing activists Martin Sellner and Brittany Pettibone, of the group “Generation Identity,” were refused entry to the U.K. when they landed at Luton Airport on Friday. According to the Home Office, they were both detained and eventually removed on Sunday after being judged that their presence was also “not conducive to the public good.”
The move by the U.K. government is likely to fuel long-standing claims from right-wing commentators (as well as some on the left) that Islam is given unique protection from criticism by European leaders — who have also struggled to grapple with a wave of Islamic extremism coming in part from mass migration.
“Fascinating that the U.K. Border Force allows so many illegals to slip through the cracks, but it’s suddenly the most competent Border Force in the world when it comes to banning two female conservative independent journalists and an Identitarian activist,” Pettibone said on Twitter after her release….

mortimer says
Lauren Southern is one of a growing number of people in the West that the Red-Green Axis hates… FREE SPEECH DEFENDERS.
Another word for FREE SPEECH DEFENDER is the term ‘extreme centrist’. An ‘EXTREME’ centrist opposes fascism and communism because they BOTH look the same on the ground…they are BOTH totalitarian.
An “EXTREME’ centrist wants THE FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION and is willing to commit civil disobedience to get it. I’m afraid the LEFTARDED TOTALITARIANS haven’t got the message that most people want freedom and they are simply taking their time to fight for it. When people realize what the Libtard TOTALITARIANS are doing, they will turf them out of all elected positions.
CRUSADER says
“DENIAL” is a film about Free Speech.
(Notion of: …No Holes, so No Holocaust….)
But it showcased a legal battle in UK which makes the burden of defense on the accuser not the victim… thus the accuser/victim has to be properly defined, in order for the court to proceed with trial.
Quote from the movie advocates free speech but not wrong facts and not lies and not false opinions.
Thinking about how all this applies to Robert Spencer and Pamela Geller.
If they were making claims but then they became the victims, the onus is upon the accusers NOT them, so the UK Government should be on trial.

“Denial” is a 2016 British-American historical drama film based on Deborah Lipstadt’s book History on Trial: “My Day in Court with a Holocaust Denier”. It dramatises the Irving v Penguin Books Ltd case, in which Lipstadt, a Holocaust scholar, was sued by Holocaust denier …
Rita says
When Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer were refused entry to the UK and prevented from paying their respects to a British soldier (Lee), butchered by a muslim, Theresa May was Home Secretary and obviously had something to do with that.
Now that 3 magnificent young, intelligent and civilised CONSERVATIVES have been treated by the “UK authorities” as you would expect to be treated – were you white and non-muslim – in some Banana Republic, it happened under her Primeministership. Even if the ghastly Sadiq Kahn’t had a hand in this shameful charade, the buck stops with Theresa May.
I ask myself, what is it with single daughters of Clergy ? ! Theresa May’s father was a church man as was the father of Angela Merkel. What is it that made both of them turn into whores for the Islamisation of the West ?

If Theresa May had an ideology, it would be homosexualism: the commitment to supreme reverence and respect for sex any way you want it.

Calling BS on Islam is in fact strictly permitted under British Law. Section 29J of the 2006 Racial and Religious Hatred Act reads:
29J Protection of freedom of expression
Nothing in this Part shall be read or given effect in a way which prohibits or restricts discussion, criticism or expressions of antipathy, dislike, ridicule, insult or abuse of particular religions or the beliefs or practices of their adherents, or of any other belief system or the beliefs or practices of its adherents, or proselytising or urging adherents of a different religion or belief system to cease practising their religion or belief system.
So Lauren has been punished for doing something legal. Hmmm, thinking about that one.

Wellington says
When Elizabeth II came to the throne in 1952, the UK was a free country. Now it is not a free country. Elizabeth bears some responsibility for this by not speaking up against the loss of freedom in her nation.
I know, I know, there will be those who will tell me that I don’t understand the largely unwritten British Constitution. Well, I do, and I know that the monarch has a right to be consulted, to advise and to warn. Elizabeth has not done this as freedom has slipped away in a once-free nation. And even assuming that speaking out against the loss of freedom in her country would be against what the British Constitution permits, Elizabeth still should have done it and risked all since her entire nation’s future is at stake and what good is any office if you can’t risk it in its entirety when your entire nation’s future hangs in the balance?
LeftisruiningCanada says
You bet she does.
I’m wondering why she prefers degenerate members of degenerating islam to her, supposed, own people.
Wellington says
Bottom line for me, LIRC, and as one who used to admire the Queen: Elizabeth has failed her nation.
No constitutional defense, i.e., “excuse” for all intents and purposes, can overcome what Elizabeth has failed to do. This woman came to the British throne (which throne is an institution I have long admired) when her nation was free. She will die when her nation is no longer free (and infested with believers in a religion that means no Western nation well, including her own). To argue she bears NO responsibility for this is, I submit (of course not meant in an Islamic way), utter nonsense.
The Queen is part of the problem (though I admit not nearly as much as people like Blair, Brown, Cameron, May and, most certainly, someone like Corbyn) and not part of the solution. By now, everyone of sense and knowledge should know this.
And finally, anyone trying to instruct me that the British Constitution is something that has prevented the Queen from doing what I think she should have done many times over, then my response to this “objection” is that it is bloody time to change the God-damn British Constitution. After all, no constitution is worth its salt if it allows for the essential destruction of the polity for which the damn constitution was formed to begin with to protect. As is now happening in the UK.

I’m rather in favor of taking Royals off money-notes and coins, for instance.
Nonetheless, if they are to exist, I am for them earning their keep, as it were.
QE2 really needed to step up to the plate and hit home runs for freedom.
She became rather a sticky wicket, however.
Her reign began with Churchill’s revolve, and she has not done that honor.
Surprised that the whole Dodi Fayed affair didn’t scotch her sensibility toward Muslims…

As a citizen of the United States it has always puzzled me that ANYONE could admire British royalty. The only thing they have that the average checker at a grocery store hasn’t is money. This money they have not earned since the days of Edward II, have they? I mean, they make speeches from the throne, they dress up, they provide copy for the tabloids, but really, what IS their function? What IS their value to Britain? I guess they provide a show for tourists who like the idea of being snubbed by “royalty”. Of my ancestry (ancestry being the basic material of royalty itself), I am more impressed with those among them who actually DID something than those who had claims to royal titles. This royal family seems to me a sort of rotted limb of Britain. Time to let it go, except that the whole country is basically rotted away. It is like a spider I once saw. It was a perfect looking spider but when it was touched by a stick it turned to dust. It had been dead for a long time but it LOOKED perfect. Britain is like that. It must have been dead a very long time. When the stick came along (immigration) it has now turned to powder. Well, at least it is a case to vindicate the Revolution.
Tom says
Apparently, what is “conducive to the public good” in the UK is the appeasement of Islam and muslim sensitivities, no matter how ridiculously “sensitive” those may be.
As a Canadian who sees our own country slowly going down that slippery slope of appeasement with the Trudeau government policies and the recommendations of the m-103 report recently released by the Liberals, I call for all freedom loving westerners to protest against restrictions on free speech and our right to criticize any religion or political ideology without fear of government reprisals.
sally says
Never has it been so easy to win a war. All these people had to do was walk in and start dictating their policy to the British. Same with Germany. One would think that it would be easier to defend Europe than to invade it, but in every case, the “refugee” mobs just walk in and take over while the elected governments of these dead countries roll out and brush off the red carpets for them. .

All of these high profile denials of entry are going to make the muslims swell even larger in their feelings of pride and superiority.
I know i know, we didn’t think that was possible, but sky’s the limit now!
The effect out on the street could be very nasty. They will feel emboldend more than ever before. They already know that they can attack people at will and face no action. Will there be gangs roaming the streets questioning people on their opinions about islam, looking for the slightest sign of opposition?
Nothing would surprise me now. Whatever we can speculate is either now past tense, or only slightly in the future. This is what it feels like to pick up speed on the downgrade to revolution and tyranny.

sally says
I think it is time people in the West or of non-Islamic persuasion stop referring to Islam and Muslims as separate and quit referring to “extremist Muslims” or “Islamic extremists”. If one is a Muslim one believes in the Koran. The Koran is a hate-filled instruction book for the takeover of the world and the annihilation of all other belief systems and cultures. So to be a Muslim makes one an enemy of every non-Islamic state. It is not a religion. It is a political movement which hangs on the peg of “religion” to gain it entry into the tolerant West. Without the phony religious aspect of it western nations would be more likely to treat it like another Third Reich or a Soviet aggression. The Soviets were dumb not to use religion for their expansionist plans. They could have had the West prostrated before them the same way.
Lydia Church says
“They asked me if I’m a Christian extremist, asked me how I feel about running over people with cars,” she told Fox News. “They asked me about Tommy Robinson, asked how I would describe myself politically, asked me how I would describe nationalism.”
Let me step up to the plate on this one:
Are you a Christian extremist?
Lydia: Yes and no.
I am extremely Christian, as much as can be, in fact all the way if that were possible.
I follow the Bible in the Christian way. Many see that I stand out in this way as I have been
called ‘hardcore Christian’ and ‘radical’ by other Christians.
But, this is the way it is supposed to be, it is the core, not the tangent. It is the norm, not the outlying limb or branch. It is the rule, not the exception. So in that sense it is not ‘extreme’ at all.
Lydia, how do you feel about running over people with cars?
Lydia: OH! It is evil and murder and terrorism. So far that is what jihadists have done. That is why we oppose them and speak out against them and warn about their ideologies!
You don’t mean to imply that all or any ‘extremists’ are suddenly suspected of guilt in this area, do you?
Interrogator: No comment. Now how do you feel about nationalism and how would you describe yourself politically?
Lydia: Nationalism can be a great thing. It all depends on the country in question. I don’t believe in surrendering national borders for any global agenda, if that is what you are asking. The reason I am suspicious of that is because it can very easily become a tyranny without escape with no room for dissent. Politically I believe in conservative laws that reflect the values of the Bible.
…. and then they put me in the truck and carted me off to the concentration camp.
But that is my testimony unto death.

There were thousands of jihad battles against Christians in north Africa and in Portugal and Spain and France and constantinople. The number of crusade battles against Muslims are less than 100. It is time for complete crusader dominance against Muslims to balance it out after a thousand and fourhundred years. And for to stop this violence once again.
