Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

UK: West Yorkshire Police commit Islamophobic hate crime, issue Wanted Appeal for Muslim rapist

Mar 25, 2018 10:46 am By Robert Spencer

They issued his picture. They gave out his name. They said he was “Asian.” Yet Supt Keith Gilert of the West Yorkshire Police has said: “West Yorkshire Police are committed to tackling hate crime of all types by encouraging reporting from members of the community who are most vulnerable to being victims, as well as those who may witness hate crime.”

Supt Gilert, I’d like to report an Islamophobic hate crime, committed by your own West Yorkshire Police. By publishing the name and photo of this man, and describing him with the “Asian” euphemism that everyone in Britain knows is a euphemism for “Muslim,” you are fanning the flames of “Islamophobia.” You will make people think that Muslims are rapists, and bring hatred and opprobrium on the Muslim community as a result. Kindly arrest yourself and all your fellow police officers immediately.

Of course, were they to respond, the West Yorkshire Police would say that they meant no criticism of Islam or Muslims at all, and that they’re merely trying to track down a criminal. But even that is “Islamophobic” today. Remember that in July 2012, the FBI ran a terrorism awareness campaign in Seattle featuring bus ads depicting photos of 16 wanted terrorists, all of whom were Muslim. Even though the ad never mentioned that they were all Muslim, the ad ran their faces and names, and so Leftist and Muslim advocacy groups prevailed upon Seattle authorities to take it down as “Islamophobic.” Then Pamela Geller and I tried to put the ad back up, and Seattle refused; our lawsuit is ongoing. Seattle contends that security concerns have to take a back seat to considerations of “Islamophobia.” We counter that such an idea endangers us all. If terrorists or rapists are Muslim, that fact should not protect them from being exposed and hunted for, or from capture, arrest and prosecution.

If it is “Islamophobic” in Seattle to publish photos and names of terrorists because they’re all Muslims, then it’s “Islamophobic” in West Yorkshire to publish the photo and name of a rapist because he is Muslim. And in Britain today, “Islamophobia” is a very serious crime. The West Yorkshire Police should turn themselves in en mass to authorities forthwith.

“Wanted Appeal: Imran Khaliq,” West Yorkshire Police, March 23, 2018:

Police are appealing for information on the whereabouts of Imran Khaliq.

Khaliq, who is 38 and from Bradford was found guilty at Bradford Crown Court last month of raping a 17-year-old girl last year.

He failed to appear for the verdict and a warrant was issued for his arrest.

Police have made extensive enquiries to trace him and are now issuing a public appeal to assist with their efforts.

He is described as Asian, of slim build and around 5ft 6ins tall.

He has links to the Greater Manchester area.

Detective Chief Inspector Paula Bickerdike, of Bradford District Police, said:

“We are appealing to the public to help us trace Khaliq, who is due to be sentenced in his absence later this year.

“It is important that he faces justice for this serious offence and enquiries to trace him are ongoing.

“There is no information at this time which suggests he poses a risk to the public, but we would ask for anyone who sees him not to approach him and to contact police on 101, so he can be brought back before the courts to be sentenced for this offence.”

    Islamofascists and their Muslim support network want to pleasure Allah by raping and murdering non-Muslims, but they want not record of it, they want it down the memory hole, scrubbed from history.

    Maybe it’s their guilty conscious breaking through their islamofascist indoctrination, or maybe it’s just inconvenient for them while they demand welfare payments from the so-called “dhimmi.” Wake up people, criminal pervert imams and islamophile quisling politicians are causing global catastrophe.

      it isn’t a guilty conscience that they have ….it is that they don’t want people to wake up to the reality of their racist bigoted crimes against humanity..So far politicians have been able to keep the lid on but soon it will boil over. In fact politicians, by trying to shelter Muslim actions from being exposed are creating a festering hatred of Muslim and Islam. More people are being attracted to anti-Muslim hate groups because of the cowardice of politically correct politicians and their left wing allies. The fact that rape gangs have been able to terrorize, rape and torture little girls with near impunity is something that I can’t even believe is possible – why there isn’t an outpouring of anger is beyond anything I can imagine. Like the Nazii death camps when Germans ignored the reality all around them.Never Again the world proclaimed – well again has come.

        Agree, but I’d say that a group defending themselves from Islamorapists and an Islamist support network of quislings and jihad enablers is never a “hate group.”

      They called him Asian…That sure puts a bad light on “real”Asian people..They should really be upset to be classed with this poor example of a pig.

    Mar 25, 2018 at 10:57 am

    So this Asian was not even taken into custody? Was his rape of that poor 17 year-old not a serious one? Did the authorities really expect him to turn up and potentially be jailed? All these and other questions will be answered in the next episode of ‘Soft Soap’, the continuing saga of approaching dhimmitude.

      Or may be, he fled Germany/Sweden, and working as an Imam there. With a rape conviction under his belt, his resume looks good!! After all, what could be more Islamic than raping an Infidel underage girl?

  5. Ridge says

    He is most likely in a no-go zone by now. I doubt the police is going to find him.

    The only way to quell Islamophobia is to round up everyone who is noticing what happens when Muslims are allowed to immigrate into non-Muslim countries.

      The sad part of that comment is that is the way things are headed! They are already stopping & detaining at the border people who fall into that category.

    Paula Bickerdike says that “We would ask for anyone who sees him….”

    Where do the police learn their (lack of) language skills ? Why does she feel the need to make requests in the future conditional ? Under what circumstances “would” she ask ?

    And why does she feel the need to insert a redundant preposition between the words “ask” and “anyone”.

    In plain English she means “We ask anyone who sees him…”

      The ‘King’s English’ is weird. To my American ear it reeks of not speaking forcefully when confronting a sinister enemy for fear of sounding too adversarial and impolite. The Brits are PCing themselves death.

    Bradford was the first European city to be majority non-European, with parts of the city being kuffar-rein.

    Anybody who thinks that Britain will not have a horrible civil war is a complete idiot.

    • mccode says

      Mar 25, 2018 at 12:18 pm

      RichardL, I also think that Britain will fall into civil war, within our life time, as will every other European country that finally musters the backbone to throw out the malignant Cult of Mohammed.

          The soyboys and pacificts and feminists talking about diversity and gender fluidity are gonna rise up, huh?
          Idk….maybe Europe is already doomed and the people who disagree will just have to try to hide. Who will help the resistance? The cops? Look how they act NOW over there.
          IS there pent up anger from anyone under 30 over there or IS the majority brainwashed, suicidally “guilty” and ready to hand their nation over to barbarians? (PS I think they think Islamic barbarians are exotic misunderstood victims in need of help)

    I’m from west Yorkshire and been following this the last few days, as many of you already guessed, although he was found guilty of rape he was bailed ran to Pakistan.

    The Facebook page of the west Yorkshire police where this appeal came from is littered with replies pointing out the guy’s own Facebook page shows photos of him in Pakistan.

    …………………..

    I’d like to think this represents the first turning of the tide and a real desire to hunt down these Muslim rapists, and not just an odd anomaly.

    Hope they catch this vicious rapist, in any case.

    Convict a man of rape then invite him to come back later for sentencing. Yep, all perfectly normal. “Locking him was the common-sense approach.” Naah.

    But no doubt. When they release rape & sexual crimes statistics, our own men will be lumped in with them. I’m sick our men getting lynched by the media, law enforcement & governments. For crimes they never committed. When we know most of the perps are now Muslims etc.

    So, to display the photos of the 16 worst criminals in Seattle is Islamophobic? Then Seattle needs to apologize to the Christian community for having displayed the photos of only white criminals in the days when the worst were white. Otherwise, why the special treatment for one group or the other if you are not racist, Islamophobic, or … Westernphobic? Whitephobic? Christianphobic?
