When speaking out against Islam at Speakers’ Corner, one immediately finds oneself surrounded by Muslims in a circle formation. It’s akin to red Indians circling a cowboy wagon. It is intimidation tactics, and it ensures that there will be no escape for anyone who crosses the line. With this in mind, I’d like to pay homage to some of the fiercest critics of Islam who risk their physical well-being in order to speak out loud and proud most weekends in the face of Islamic intimidation at Speakers’ Corner in London. Oftentimes these men and women are unaccompanied and alone. The courage it takes for them to speak out on all of our behalf is immense.
Steve – has been going there for almost 2 decades. What drew him to Speakers’ Corner was the variety of speakers and topics, and that he liked that the debate and dialogue and conversations were unfettered. Today, with 80% of the Corner being dominated by aggressive Muslims, Steve continues to attend, because although the speech and ideas on offer have become more restricted, he feels it is imperative to continue to shout out against censorship and in spite of the threat of violence by Muslims in the park. I’ve watched Steve on YouTube. He is an atheist and has debated with Christians and every other denomination in the park. Only the Muslims have done violence to him, and only the Muslims cause him to look over his shoulder as he exits the park and heads for home. One of Steve’s best moments came during a call to prayer in the park by the Muslims. Steve stood next to them as they were ululating and he started singing, “Oompah, loompah, stick it up your joompah.” And he somehow lived to tell the tale.
Tan – A young Chinese man born in Malaysia who spent some time in the UK on a visa. There is a video of him confronted and surrounded by a gang of Muslims at Speakers’ Corner. Tan very bravely stands his ground. He tells them to f*ck Islam. He is almost like a troll. He goes to mock Islamic ideals, and the Muslims in the park are often too stupid to understand his intelligent wit. Muslims approached him and started touching him and stroking his chin (which is considered to be physical assault in the UK), but Tan wouldn’t rise to their provocation. I also witnessed a scene where Tan went over to Muslims who were illegally praying on the grass while he stood silently among them. Two Muslims took hold of him and dragged him away from what they considered to be their space. The cops escorted Tan out of the park, in a public display of appeasement. In the UK today, the police don’t arrest the violent mob; instead, they send the peaceful protesters out of the area. And of course, the Muslims recorded Tan being escorted out of the park by the police, and they played the footage on their worldwide Dawah channels, suggesting that Tan was a hate preacher and that the police are on the side of the Muslims who are always in the right.
Amy – otherwise known as based_amy. She is a little old lady with a walking stick. She confronted the police and educated them in relation to London park laws, which clearly state that praying on the grounds or monopolizing them for religious reasons is illegal. Her video went viral. She was educating the police and they couldn’t respond to her as to what the law actually states. All they could stammer was that the situation was being elevated and a decision would be forthcoming as to whether religious groups can take over the area or not. She is also famous for waving bacon sandwiches in Muslims faces at Speakers’ Corner. Childish stuff, I agree, but mocking religion is a freedom of speech issue. One time she was also educating Muslims on their toilet habits and she was immediately surrounded by at least 50 of them who all began to chant, “Amy has skid-marks. Amy has skid-marks.” Little to zero respect was shown to an aging woman.
Raj – A Sikh who was interviewed by Peter of Sweden. He is known in the park as Tommy RobinSINGH. He goes along to the park to heckle and debate with Muslims. I have witnessed him getting some harsh criticism from some hardcore fellow Sikhs. They are ashamed that he would identify as British and adhere to British values. These extreme Sikhs told him that even after seven generations of Sikhs being born into the UK, Sikhs will never be British. Raj has repeatedly stated his love for the UK and its values, but even still he is an outsider in parts of his community.
Bob the Builder – is a Christian who challenges the Muslims at an intellectual and literary and scriptural level. His main concerns are that Islam is taking over the UK and that sharia is slowly creeping its way into our legal system in the shape of blasphemy laws and Muslims being above the law. There have been tons of court cases in the UK where a Muslim gets off with rape, or some other heinous misdeed, because he apparently didn’t understand that it’s not okay to rape a 12 year-old girl in England. He also notes that the political left are aligning themselves with Islam for whatever reasons they have. My own suggestions would be that the left are using Islam as a political weapon purely because they think all Muslims are brown, and also because they view Islam as being compatible with their own Marxist ideals. No country or culture is without historic blood on its hands, but the left love to use colonialism and Empire as tools with which to erode English people’s self-confidence. The left neglect to note that Muslims were dealing in the African slave trade long before the white man came along. They neglect to note this because it doesn’t fit in with their narrative of the white man as being the bad man.
Gary Google – An absolute legend. After Tommy Robinson debated Ali Dawah, Gary tormented Ali in the park about Ali’s stance on sex with children. Gary looks like an aging rapper, gold microphone, sunglasses and all. He hounded Ali and would not leave him alone. Ali was reduced to looking like a lost puppy and desperately clinging to his phone in order to look up verses of the Quran in a bid to spend his time “constructively.” And no matter what part of the park he tried to escape to, Gary Google was right behind him with his gold microphone to mock him and demand that he defend having sex with 6 year-old girls.
These legends demand a shout-out. They will go down in history as being integral players in the battle for Speakers’ Corner, a microcosm or metaphor for the rest of the UK. If we lose Speakers’ Corner to Muslims, it’s an indicator that the rest of the country will follow suit. These people are a prime example for us all, that we should use our voices or lose them.

Zero respect? she’s waving bacon sandwiches in their face. Oh wait, I’m guessing this is part of the “skid-mark” jihad?
jihad3tracker says
HELLO LEBEL — You write that “mocking religion is a freedom of speech issue.”
On May 3, 2015, two Muslims drove from Arizona to Texas for an attempt at killing Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer because they organized and attended a “Draw Muhammad” contest.
SO, A QUESTION — WERE THOSE TWO MUSLIMS JUSTIFIED IN THAT EFFORT TO KILL PAM, ROBERT, and probably all those present in the room ?
Shmoovie says
Could be. After all, we’ve had the ‘jihad’ term explained by all-knowing Dhemmis and other islamapologists as nothing more than personal striving (recalling the “what’s your jihad?” campaign a while back.)
Whatever it was, I’m guessing Amy took the attempts to intimidate her out of the park with more guts and maturity than was shown by the gang of followers who surrounded and berated her with their “Porky’s” humour insults.
Deep down it’s nothing to do with apparently dangerous food; Amy and the others aren’t trying to chase muslims out of parks. It’s about standing against a group obnoxious enough to want an historically all-welcome public speaking space to themselves.

I wonder what would happen if a few people started reading off of a list detailing the crimes committed against Brits by the immigrants that belong to the faith that we dare not name. Then read from a list detailing stupid statements by so called political leaders like May detailing how said immigrants have enriched the UK. Then follow up with a list of actions or rather inactions by the courts and law enforcement that have left the average Brit defenseless and restricted from real and effective self defense.
Hint: get body armor. You will need it. Oh wait, that is probably illegal as well.
dumbledoresarmy says
“Hint: get body armor. You will need it. ”
I have an additional idea. Are dogs (well-trained ones, on leads) permitted in that park? Check the regs.
If they *are*… then people wishing to challenge the Mohammedans should bring dogs, big black ones. Properly leashed and all that. But there, right beside them. And they could arrange with their *friends* to come too, and bring *their* dogs. It would send a message.
These people, who are standing up to the mohammedans, need *backup*.
The infidels *have* to organise. I don’t know how you could do it. But surely 20-30 London-based able-bodied UK jihadwatchers could somehow manage to find a way to offer some moral and physical solidarity to these people who are stubbornly refusing to allow the mohammedans to *take* Speakers’ Corner.
In a way, Speakers Corner is as significant as the Temple Mount, or any other socially, religiously, or politically *key* location that Muslims are attempting to seize, and strip of its original meaning, and then.. control. They have to be stopped. And the only way they can be stopped, is by a display of superior numbers and resolute solidarity on the part of the free people.

Tom says
Strange bedfellows indeed in the cause of freedom, but nevertheless, brave people who are prepared to stand up and be counted when it matters.
The intimidation tactics of group praying and group encircling are obviously pre planned as part of the general strategy of Islam to destroy free speech and personal freedoms.
Those individuals standing up these tactics are labelled as mentally unstable, eccentric, Islamaphobic, or racist simply because they speak out. Notwithstanding their personal demeaners, the cause of freedom and the fight against radical Islam needs such stalwart soldiers, and we should all take an example from such people.
Karen says
Where are all the women who have black dogs. They ought to be walking in front of the men who are praying. If I was British that’s what I’d be doing. Well, maybe I’d be actually speaking as I know, probably more than most Muslims, a fair bit about Islam.

Greyhound Fancier says
Islam can’t be perfect. It had no prophet – no follower of God would marry a six-year old and have sex with her at age nine, or marry a women the night that he killed her husband and all her other menfolk, or claim that he “was made victorious through terror”, or supervise/participate in hundreds of murders in a single day. Followers of this vicious man have been responsible for industrial-grade misery all over the world.
Islam is straight from the pit of hell. Junaid, please learn about your disgusting prophet and his terrible religion. Leave as soon as you can. Islam will never make you a better person.

aguysomewhere says
@Junail we woul dgladly blame the individual except that muslisms often consider islam to be very important, so important that it is the basis for their way of thinking, world view, and their guide as how to behave in certain situations. If a man kills somebody whilst shouting allah akbar, if he claims that that person broke islamic rules, then what, you expect us to ignore this. We can no longer ignore this. Your false prophet Muhammad was a intolerant and violent man that is why islam persecutes christians, jews, hindus etc. to this day. He raped women. You think the 2015/16 new years rapists in cologne who were muslim men from the Maghreb didn’t think. They knew their prophet was a rapist and they raped too. You think the Charlie Hebdo shooters didn’t think, they knew Muhammad killed critics and so they did too.
I feel for you because you may very well be one of the good guys, but you need to wake up and recognize what islam has done to humanity. Muhammad was a very bad man, he was mentally insane, he even tried to commit suicide, he would publicly disrespect the religions and ancestors of other people, he was warned and continued and that’s when people acted against him.
Muhammad raped many innocent women. He killed many people. He committed mass murder and even genocide. He murdered an elderly man who gossiped about him. He committed adultery by raping a christian slave girl in the house of one of his many wive’s while she was at the market. This wife comes home and sees what he did and is angry because Muhammad has s many wive’s(more than 10 or so?) and still he is going outside and having sex with other women. Sex with slaves is rape as they are captives!
Muhammad was shamed by all his wive’s for what he had done, in shame he apologized and vowed not to do it again. But then allah the immoral god gives Muhammad a revelation that he Allah has not forbidden him this, in essence Muhammad do whatever you want. Muhammad the immoral prophet with his immoral allah, a truly detestable man not worth of adoration or respect and it gets even worse Muhammad had a adopted son. One day Muhammad goes to his sons house but he’s not home and whilst there he sees hi’s wife naked, Muhammad desired her!
He would in the end take away his adopted sons wife, so not only is he a murder, and rapist and adulterer but he also has no respect for his son and for the very concept of marriage. And muslims are not allowed to adopt because Muhammad would invent a revelation from allah that basically forbids it. I guess that this is Muhammads way of retroactively being able to claim he never adopted the boy so his marriage is somehow clean.
Muhammad was a mentally insane man who tried to commit suicide, he told his relatives he was seeing demons, they who did not see what was in his damaged mind told him he was seeing angels. I don’t know what he saw but for it to scare him so much that he said it’s demons it must have been really bad stuff, how do you mistake angels for demons?
In any case the man was mentally insane. I’m not holding it against him but it is a relevant fact.
aguysomewhere says
And I just remembered it’s not the only time Muhammad saw devilish things. Muhammad said he had to remove some verses from islam because the devil tricked him into adding them. Well I say with all the intolerant verses against people who are not muslims or muslims who wish to leave islam or not live according to islams rules, and all the verses inciting violence one can be sure that the devil influenced him a lot more than he would care to admit.

All religions are fake. Had they been from God, they would have mentioned at least one scientific term like strucure of atom, molecule, electron, proton, neutron, positon, alpha, beta, Gama,x rays, wavelength, blackhole, white dwarf, red star, agglutinozen, agglutinin, lakhs of scientific discoveries. Doesn’t God know one among theseveral items and it’s properties or details. Most of the believers know all these things. Actually some of the believers know that God mentioned in the scriptures is fake. But they use the cocept of God mentioned in the scriptures to gain personal wealth and earthly enjoyments. This happens because they can easily deceive uneducated or improperly educated people. This is easy living technique, without doing hardwork. So as long as humans live on earth, these type of people live among us. You can curb these people only by killing them, but the gentlemen who feel there is no god, cannot kill them, because they feel it as improper. You just try faking that you belive in God, and if you are intelligent, you can make lots of easy money by brainwashing many people.

Hal G. P. Colebatch says
Thank you for this and all that you do to expose this cancer.
FYI says
just an idea….
See if ..
muslims can explain WHY allah DISAGREES with those all-important commandments of God…
{provide a formal list from Exodus 20:1-17}
Compare ANY Biblical commandment of God regarding Murder,Stealing,Adultery,lying etc with Islamic teaching;islam/muhammed and allah…..don’t agree with them.
The Bible emphasises OBEDIENCE to God’s laws{10+2}
The koran allows muslims to be DISOBEDIENT to God’s laws{…and of course,inevitably..the 2 chief laws are missing in islam…}
Perhaps the koran should be retitled “Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law”
1.Ask what part of Thou shalt NOT KILL,in the 6th one,does allah/muslims just not get?
What part of “thou shalt not commit adultery” does allah not understand when he permits it in koran 33:50/koran 4 :24?
allah is also OK with muslims Stealing from infidels koran 48:20/Ibn ishaq 764…and let’s not forget,allah has no problem with muslims bearing FALSE WITNESS via taqqiya,tawriya,kitman,muruna
{It seems allah missed the 9th commandment…..and in fact…ALL of them didn’t he?}
2.Why are the 2 chief commandments of God{found in Judaism,in Christianity}COMPLETELY missing in islam???No muslim can explain that.
2 Explain..muhammed’s admission to fakery..
“I have fabricated things AGAINST GOD and have imputed to him words he has not spoken”
al tabari 6:111
As for mo being a man of peace and islam,a tolerant creed?
“I have been made victorious through terror”
bukhari 4:52:220
So muhammed admits to making up things AGAINST GOD;that would be the commandment-of-God violating “holy” koran, a book that claims to be from God but cannot be from God for the following reasons..
It contradicts the actual Word of God{muslims don’t understand that}
It preaches hatred and violence{remember those 2 chief commandments are missing!..}
It dismisses the 2nd chief commandment{“take not the Jews and Christians for friends” k5V51}
It contains{note if you are Christian} an epic theological misunderstanding regarding the Triune God(it is NOT a polytheistic system,and allah does not know what the “Holy Spirit”is.Just think about the idiocy of that;allah doesn’t know the source of scripture and prophecy.That’s WHY everything in the koran is warped and in error}see koran 4 v 171:Note too if you are Christian
that allah denies Christ k4:157{“They slew him not nor crucified him”;allah provides no evidence to support his false assertion.
It curses the Jews and Christians{koran 9:30}The Jews are called “apes,to be despised and hated”[Some JEWS:Moses,Elijah,JESUS CHRIST etc ..ALL Jews..and allah hates them!The Jews are hated because …they are Jews,the Christians because they are…Christians.So allah HATES Jews AND Christians.Ridiculous!
