Dumfries and Galloway councillor Jim Dempster made an off-colour remark:
In a meeting with Transport Scotland officials, the councilor said if Mr Yousaf had visited the region, “no-one would have seen him under his burka”.
Dempster has been suspended from the Labour Party “pending an investigation into his comment.”
Dempster’s remark was insensitive and inappropriate. His comment, however, does not prove that he is anti-Muslim or “Islamophobic,” as Humza Yousaf has called him. One also wonders what “investigation” might be required concerning his comment.
It is not surprising that Yousaf is pushing the “Islamophobia” canard so hard: Breitbart did a rather unflattering exposé about him in 2014, describing his activities as a trouble-making activist and referring to him as an “Islamist-linked radical.” The article also noted that “his age, looks and charisma have undoubtedly made it easier to entice the Scottish into his ‘radical’ agenda.”
Councilor Jim Dempster has since profusely apologized for his statement, but that was not enough. In Yousaf’s mind, Dempster deserves to be fired for his comment. It is unforgivable. As TheReligionofPeace.com states: the”Councillor’s epic groveling” was “still not enough.”
“‘TOKENISTIC PHOTO OP’ Transport Minister Humza Yousaf slams councillor Jim Dempster’s mosque visit amidst calls he quit”, by Katrine Bussey and Hilary Duncanson, Scottish Sun, March 20, 2018 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
TRANSPORT Minister Humza Yousaf has slammed Labour councillor Jim Dempster’s mosque visit as a “tokenistic photo op” amidst calls the councillor should quit.
It comes after the Scots politician rejected the Dumfries and Galloway councillor’s apology over religiously motivated hate comments.
Dumfries and Galloway councillor Jim Dempster said he was “deeply sorry” for the remark, adding he had visited a local mosque and had asked for further diversity training.
But Mr Yousaf has called for the councillor to quit – adding he had now received “correspondence to suggest that Cllr Dempster’s Islamophobic slur was not a one-off”.
Mr Dempster has already been suspended from the Labour Party pending an investigation into his comment, which was made a week ago.
In a meeting with Transport Scotland officials, the councillor said if Mr Yousaf had visited the region, “no-one would have seen him under his burka”.
Mr Dempster said: “I fully accept that my comments were totally unacceptable.
“I am deeply sorry for the offence I have caused and I offered a full and immediate apology.
“I do not believe that the comments I made reflect the actions or views that I have held during my service to my community.”
However, Mr Yousaf said on Twitter: “After making such a blatant Islamophobic slur, a tokenistic photo-op at the local Mosque is frankly an insult……

Hunting down people who say rude things about Islam or Muslims is now more serious to the police than picking up the thousands of returned TERRORISTS from ISIS.
This is a CLASSIC EXAMPLE OF DHIMMITUDE.
MESSAGE TO BRITISH POLICE AND POLITICIANS:
Dhimmitude may be defined as “a behaviour dictated by FEAR (of terrorism), PACIFISM when aggressed, rather than resistance, SERVILITY because of cowardice and vulnerability. … By their PEACEFUL SURRENDER to the Islamic army, the Dhimmis obtain the security for their life, belongings and religion, but they have to accept a condition of INFERIORITY, spoliation and HUMILIATION. As they are forbidden to possess weapons and give testimony against a Muslim, they are put in a position of vulnerability and humility.”
THOU SHALT NOT SAY ANYTHING THAT A MUSLIM MAY NOT LIKE… we mustn’t hurt their feelings.
elee says
Is it not true that one of the conditions of dhimmitude is that the Muslims can withdraw its protections at any time they choose? Like, say, when they think no one is looking? And don’t their scriptures in fact compel them to do this with the dhimmitude pact, as they are also required to breach any truce whenever it’s to their advantage? Ask an Armenian or a Yazidi.
mortimer says
elee, I agree with your conclusion. Nothing can FORCE the Muslims to respect the dhimmi contract because a DHIMMI MAY NOT accuse a Muslim in court. As a result, in a dispute, the DHIMMI is always considered wrong.
The only way a dhimmi could fight an injustice was by BRIBING SOMEONE POWERFUL (the local BEY, for instance) to ask the offender to return what he had stolen or to pay something as a token at least.
DHIMMIS in effect had little real protection under the supposed DHIMMA contract. It depended in fact on the capricious whims of the local authorities entirely.
C says
Well said, thank you posting. The West needs to wake up to this ‘psychological warfare”.
Joe Creho says
THOU SHALT NOT SAY ANYTHING THAT A MUSLIM MAY NOT LIKE… we mustn’t hurt their feelings.
According to Koranic law, this is in fact the case. “Slander” is anything a Moslem doesn’t like. Truth/untruth doesn’t come into it.
mike9a says
As we know this is ridiculousness of situation. When mos are going to apologize for 1400 years of conquest and misery where they put their finger in, they are killing us and we cannot even say anything!!!! Oppression cult and entitlements of “superior beings”! They are everything but superior!
mortimer says
MESSAGE TO BRITISH DHIMMI POLITICIANS : ENJOY DHIMMITUDE !
Enjoy living under the DISCRIMINATORY Pact of Omar !!!

Great vid and many thanks for posting this and exposing the truth of this intolerant, racist, and violent ideology. BTW, I REFUSE TO BE A DHIMMI TO THIS BARBARIC IDEOLOGY TILL MY LAST BREATH… I REFUSE POINTBLANK…
Hugh Fitzgerald says
It wasn’t an “Islamophobic slur.” It was merely an awkward, unfunny joke. End of story.
JawsV says
“no one would have seen him under his burka.”
Ha-Ha! I think it’s funny! Also, I don’t think it’s “insensitive and inappropriate,” Christine.
Oh boo-hoo the poor always-offended Saracens! I couldn’t care less. Take your Jihad and shove it.
It’s too bad the Councillor is groveling to the anti-Jew/Christian Jew/Christian-phobic Mohammedans.
End of story.
Phil Copson says
Whose words are these: “religiously-motivated hate comments” ? journalists Katrine Bussey and Hilary Duncanson’s ? If somebody – male – accused me of making “religiously-motivated hate comments” over a mild joke, I’d feel entitled to punch them.
Let’s put the blame where it belongs – Yusaf and the author of that remark are making “politically-motivated hate comments” not Jim Dempster, who just made a crass remark.
JawsV says
It’s a funny remark. The Saracens need to get over themselves. Sport a burqa, Yousaf!
If you’re offended I coudn’t care less. I’m offended by 9/11. Islam should be abolished.
Ray Jarman says
Maybe he should face the same punishment as the cartoonists at Charlie Hebdo or the attempt on Pam Geller and Robert Spencer in Texas. The members of the cult seem to have no tolerance for humour.
JawsV says
Ray: “There is no humor in Islam.” — Ayatollah Khomeini
Ray Jarman says
Thanks JawsV, heck I should have known where that came from.
thesailor says
One does wonder what these people get threatened with to cause such grovelling, embarrassing and clearly insincere apologies. I long to hear someone snap back with “Get knotted. I’ve nothing to apologise for!”
Anne Smith says
Couldn’t agree more.
i suppose he was worried about losing votes.
Ray Jarman says
I will second that opinion.
Bigscotsman says
He didn’t grovel but he did give an unreserved apology which was refused in order to make political capital I know the man who despite claims by people who don’t know him as racist is anything but racist.it was a joke about a so called minister for transport visiting an area but nobody saw him.
R Russell says
Some of the UK online newspapers are getting comments from informed members of the public who are exposing this for what we know – that sharia will replace Scots law and everyone will be silenced – the ones that are left alive that is.
mortimer says
Instead the UK police should be investigating Humza Yousaf to eavesdrop on him and his radical contacts.
JawsV says
The Mohammedans don’t apologize to us. Ever heard of one apology for 9/11? Or for any mass-murdering Islamic Jihads post-9/11? Nope. There aren’t any. Muslims don’t apologize to Infidels. So, we don’t apologize to them for harmless and humorous remarks. Get over yourselves, Saracens!
For more on how Muslims don’t apologize to Infidels see: “Wholly Different” by Nonie Darwish (2017).
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
True, but on the bright side we apologize to them. I point you to Prez Barack Hussein’s famous Apology Speech delivered in an auditorium at Al Azhar University in Cairo. He apologized for all the bad things European peoples, including Americans, had done to Moslems, and promised to stop it.
JawsV says
Well, that’s not a bright side. That’s a groveling, dhimmi side. A bright side would be “Pack up your mosks/minarets and Jihad war manuals (Qurans) and move back to your own countries.”
gravenimage says
Jaws, APF was being sarcastic.
Arnold Jackson says
People like this will never be satisfied by anyone for or with anything.
If you find yourself in a situation where you are compelled either by yourself or someone else to make an apology, go ahead and give it and move on. If you ask if they are satisfied with it, they will tell you no. If they will not accept your apology it is their problem, not yours.
Get on with your life and let them be the one(s) who sit and stew. You did what you were expected to do. You don’t need to worry about it any more.
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
The great scowling Ayatollah Khomeini pronounced that there is no fun in Islam. This episode with poor Jim Dempster is proof of that. I guess. I guess cuz moving the focus from Scotland down to England, could it be that the Paki groomers in Telford were smiling as they gang raped 11-yr old Infidel girls? I axe cuz if they did that would indicate that there *is* fun in Islam.
Hard to tell, so confusing. Islam is such a subtle thing, hard for us outsiders to understand.
Stuart Smith says
Only a matter of time before Humza Yousaf comes out as being a gay man, according to the reports from his “friends” that should see him flying off a roof somewhere.
Laura says
‘Visited a mosque and asked for further diversity training.’ Instead he should have visited a local hospital and asked for a bollocks transplant.
Antonin Dlouhy says
The bollocks would have rejected him.
James says
“Dempster’s remark was insensitive and inappropriate.“
Totally disagree. What sort of wilting flower is upset by something as mild as that. If the joke had been, say, about raping Ayesha or Fatima, that would have been grossly offensive, and suspension would not be excessive.
But it wasn’t. It was a very mild witticism, irrelevant to Islam as a religion or as a polity, Its true equivalent is the hackneyed English witticism, “`What does a Scotsman wear under his kilt ?”. Those of us who are Scots do not expecf a great fuss to be made over a joke like that – such things pass without comment, as they should. Why the speshul snowflakery for Muslims ?

Non Muslims are at least as segregated as blacks during segregation time. If they make anti-segration demonstrations, they may be killed.
