Jihad Watch

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

Video: UK MEP says Tommy Robinson arrest “politically motivated” amid massive protest in London over his arrest

May 26, 2018 2:20 pm By Robert Spencer

And here is video of the entire rally

This case is much bigger than Tommy Robinson. Whatever one may think of him and his work, style, or approach, he is being harassed and persecuted by the British government for calling attention to the activity of Muslim rape gangs, which British authorities have done everything they could to cover up, and to jihad violence and Sharia oppression in general. Yes, he was arrested for violating the terms of his probation by filming outside a courthouse where a Muslim rape gang was being tried, but the prohibition on him doing that was wrong in the first place. Clearly he was arrested, rather than simply given a warning as Janice Atkinson says in this video, because of who he is and what he does: his arrest was of a piece with the government’s desire to keep people ignorant and complacent regarding Muslim rape gangs and the high cost of mass Muslim migration.

The British government, in arresting Tommy, as well as Amy, is showing itself willing to incarcerate people for having opinions that it considers unacceptable. That heralds the death of Britain as a free society and the beginning of an authoritarian police state there, unless this slide to totalitarianism is stopped now. British public figures, whatever criticism they have leveled against Tommy Robinson in the past, should be calling for him to be freed today, or else they will be exposing themselves as supporting the degeneration of Britain into a police state.

      Agreed. He’s not the most erudite, but I totally respect that he cares and fights. The likes of Pat Condell, Douglas Murray, Paul Weston and PJ Watson are far superior speakers, but aren’t out on the streets like TR, at court cases like these.

        Tommy is a good guy who is being treated like an enemy of the State. He is fighting for Britain and the west!
        This arrest is a scandal. And now he’s been sentenced to 13 months in prison. All he did was live stream outside a court, how is that anything worthy of prison WTF.

        There are lots of muslims in prison, unless Tommy is segregated away from them his life is in extreme danger.

          I agree, I have listened to his interviews…he speaks the truth, his concern that is being silenced is justified but Theresa May finds it offensive. It would be great if President Trump could ask for his release….

          Placing this young family man in a British prison with jihadists shows the lack of concern for the citizens of Britain I hope they march day and night for his release.

          TR is an enemy of the state because he seeks to shed the light of truth on what is really going on there and how the government is doing everything possible to placate and protect one segment of society at the expense of the other.

          Daring to speak the truth and to let the public know what is going on is the most serious threat to the elites there is, short of pitchforks & torches, or a mutiny by the military.

          I hope Europe don’t expect America to save them again…I don’t think they even want to be saved…Just look at the Muslim situation….do the British really want yo be saved again? No they just want Sharia law.

          Absolutely! Hope Tommy is out tomorrow !!!!!!! We have known him since he was a kid
          playing “footy”. “Stevie”, as he was back then.
          We have a place in Luton on Oakley Road and recently certain types (you know who !) have moved into a building nearby and throwing garbage into our property.
          Need to say no further.

          Tommy is being deliberately targeted because the Government have been unable to shut him down so have sought any excuse to jail him again, knowingly placing him in extreme danger as the answer to their problem. Margaret May is owned by the islamic controlled United Nations, as is our PM here in Australia, Malcolm Turnbull, along with Trudeau, Macron, Merkel, The Pope et al who were all installed to do the bidding of the UN to islamise Western Nations and bring these countries down to third world level. (read how M. Turnbull installed himself and view the 2014 video released by Lord Monkton which also explains how Trudeau was ensconced as Canada’s leader and why) The UN want full control over the people and our so called Leaders are handing that control to the UN. New laws are being introduced every day that outlaw people speaking out against islam, people world wide are being jailed for anti islamic comments, even online comments, islam is demanding blasphemy laws be introduced and Governments are bending over backwards to appease…Notice though that no one is being hauled before the courts and jailed for negative comments about Christianity.
          Also why the UN backed by these so called western nations (NOT the US GO TRUMP!!) are continually attacking Israel.
          Don’t be surprised if the next step (within a few years in the UK) when/if the people of the UK and other Western Nations continue to protest and speak out/against islam the Government’s action will be to introduce Martial Law bringing in Foreign troops (likely islamics) who will have the authority to open fire at will on the people.
          They know that troops from the UK/Australia/Canada etc will not fire on their own people and why they will bring in foreign troops who will. This is the ultimate plan of the UN.
          Tommy Robinson is being used as a pawn to shut down criticism of islam. We cannot allow these Sleeze bag Politicians to win, to destroy our Countries…Tory Government my big fat arse! Both Labor and Tory Party are UN STOOGES.

          May 26, 2018 at 7:16 pm

          You completely misunderstand what I inferred and said. Breathe! Note the others I mentioned along with TR. You’re splitting hairs – as a man who is speaking out against Islam, I’m merely saying he isn’t erudite as the others. I did also specify, that unlike the others, he is out on the streets – thus, a compliment. The attempted flippancy by yourself isn’t really ‘helpful.’

        May 27, 2018 at 9:20 am

        Try to imagine Douglas Murray out there getting roughed up by police. We need Murry’s cool-headed, objective assessment and we also need the on-the-streets real-life, real-time person who will confront these abuses head-on. That person has been Tommy Robinson. He DOES care – about his community, about English women and children, and about Muslim women and children as well. He knows as well as Murray what Islam does to a society and he cares a lot more than the people elected to serve what happens to his country. If he is attacked while in prison the British government might live to regret their decisions.

        I agree with your comment, Roderick. Of course, I think all the people who speak up openly, like Robert Spencer, Pamela Geller Wilders, et al, are all courageous people. But, Tommy Robinson really shows extraordinary courage over and over again, by taking it to the streets and shoving the unpalatable truth right in the faces of the gutless Islamophiles in politics and media and the Muslim enemies themselves. It’s pathetic what the UK has become. Robinson is a hero who should be considered a treasure. I find only the leaders of and the people of Hungary, Czech Republic and Poland have the right, tough but necessary attitude to Islam. Just keep it the hell out of all non-Muslim countries is their attitude. Letting Islam in is a disaster everywhere. I also agree with you that an army of brave types of people like Robinson will be created by the sell out merchants in government in western Europe. I hope they get huge demonstrations in the UK over this arrest of Robinson.

          The references to Tommy’s soi-disant lack of “erudition” could not be more wrong. He is very well read, perhaps not so much in the modern syllabus like “gender studies” and other tradition-destroying pseudo humanities, produced for manipulating the sheepbrains that populate our universities today, but just that makes him authentic. I would also say that his IQ might be far superior to some of his “erudite” detractors, and certainly to the average IQ of those who want him dead, and might yet succeed – because they specialise in that.

          AND he is a Hero to boot. If I was english, I would want him as a leader 1000 X before I’d want these “erudite” traitors who lead us to the precipice.

        Rita, you’re right. Tommy certainly knows his stuff. But like most of us who know anything we surely have a great debt to Robert Spencer, Pam Geller and others in the US. Personally, I’ve always thought Tommy an eloquent speaker and a normal British bloke—a man of the people. It’s this combination that has drawn over 200,000 signatures in support for his freedom. I hope the authorities see sense and don’t create a martyr of him. History will judge them harshly if they do.

          May 27, 2018 at 9:52 am

          @KevinR. We absolutely owe Robert Spencer, Pam Geller and others a great debt, I just feel rather defensive when people patronise Tommy Robinson because his education might not have been a formal one – for which he has largely made up by – what I think – is an outstanding intelligence.

          Thank you for posting this video. Theresa May is whoring for Islam even more than I thought, and I’m reminded that it was she who was Minister of the Interior and Immigration (or such) when Robert Spencer and Pamela Geller were declared “persona non grata” and refused entry into the U.K., when they wanted to pay their respects to Lee Rigby, the islamically butchered British soldier.
          And now, with an infestation of muslim mayors all over the UK, the new Minister of Interior or whatever they call it in the U.K. is also MUSLIM.

      PETITION IN : ENGLISH – FRANÇAIS – ESPAñOL –

      Tommy Robinson has been arrested and jailed for reporting on Muslim grooming gangs. A job that he chooses to do with no regard for his own safety, informing the public of all the wrongs committed in the name of Allah. Fighting against adversity and reporting on issues that our mainstream media are too afraid to speak of.

      Tommy is raising issues that are affecting all of our communities, and that are being swept under the carpet and hidden from the public.

      Its time we stand together, stand strong, and stand by his side.

They openly announce that they don’t intend to fulfil the duties that the public pay them to do and daily prove themselves totally untrustworthy.

      THIS IS A DEATH SENTENCE, and the tyrannical British leaders behind his arrest, and swiftly ensuing trial and sentencing know it. This is exactly how despots and dictators in the third world (often islamic) hellholes silence their critics.

      It is tantamount to the murder of a political opponent, and the intended outcome is the ultimate demise of Tommy while in prison.

      The same lot have recently done the same with Paul Golding and Jayda Franssen to silence them from speaking out about the same issue: muslim rape gangs and their enablers and co-conspirators being allowed protected status by British authorities.

      The message is clear: SHUT UP ABOUT IT, OR DIE IN PRISON.

    The government involvement in stifling free speech is evident in the contempt it has for the rights of the British citizen, to know the truth.

    A grooming gang of muslims targeting young white girls for sexual purposes, is criminal but also racist in the target selection.

    The public has the right to know what the truth is, however to raise questions the government and the left accuse those seeking the truth as racist or right wing to stifle or embarrass those seeking the truth.

    This will not work the citizen is well aware of these leftist government and MSM tactics.

    Now the government is using socialist tactics of unlawful arrest and bully tactics, to strike fear into those who want to know the truth, as in the case of Tommy Robinson.
    This will not succeed, release him NOW.

    I watched the live stream before he got arrested, and you can see in the background the police in their hi-viz jackets waiting on the steps. They might well have seen one of the convicted shove him as they went in to court He also dealt gracefully with a s0-called fan who claimed he wanted to be photographed with him only to use this moment to insult Tommy. A lady standing talking to Tommy witnessed the throat slitting action made towards her. Tommy was only arrested then at the moment the ‘jury’ was in. At this point, they needed him out of the way. Has nobody noticed this? The police had been aware of his presence all the time he was there, so why didn’t they arrest him upon his arrival for breach of peace? No. I repeat; it was when the judge handed the sentence that Tommy was arrested, and so no one knows what the verdict of the muslim grooming gangs was. No mainstream media there either despite Rochdale and Telford and Oxford.

      He seems to go in and out of prison when the truth begins to resonate too much.

      TR’s public enemy status is the real test of sharia supremacism. If his birthrights under the law of the land gets subsumed by ‘islamaphobia’ and ‘pedophila coverups by UK government, then Britain will become a land of slaves.

    Janet is one of the few who can see the reality of the lslamic Jihad at work in britain – in spite of being a staunch thatcherite lol.
    lsn’t it strange that as soon as Sajid Javid becomes Home Secretary, Tommy goes to prison.
    Even though Sajid Javid said that the Labour MP who claimed that Britain had a problem with ‘Pakistani Grooming Gangs’, shouldn’t have been condemned, he also said in the Australian last year (before becoming Home Secretary):

    “In the Australian on the 6th of June, a senior British Muslim politician, Sajid Javid, in response to the latest atrocities in London, said that the solution to the problems must come from within the Muslim community. Few non-Muslim people would disagree with that.

    Mr Javid then continued: ‘I’m not for one second saying that Muslims are in anyway responsible for terrorists. Around the world Muslims are fighting on the frontline in the battle against extremism. It would be absurd to say the actions of a handful in anyway represent a peaceful, wonderful religion that is the guiding light for more than a billion people”

    l’ll quote the counter-argument to this because it’s a great reply.

    “On the same page, in an associated article, Greg Sheridan pointed out that only 1 in 20 British Muslims believes that al-Qa’ida was responsible for the 9/11 atrocity and that more than 30 per cent believe that the US government was responsible. Mr Javid and Greg Sheridan would probably agree that the Muslim communities in the West have to do more to prevent the sort of atrocities that are now weekly occurrences.

    The soul searching and hand wringing that has gone on in the Western media in the past few months has been almost as sickening as the terrorist atrocities themselves. Every time there is another ghastly rampage by Muslim fanatics, politicians and Muslim leaders trot out the party line that Islam is a religion of peace. This is simply not true at the present time. Islam is a religion at war with itself and with the world in general. In every society around the world where Islamic communities and non Islamic communities coexist, there has been some form of conflict in my lifetime. One of the standard lines of the apologists for Islamic violence is that it is a reflection of the history of colonialism or oppression by the West.

    How then do we explain the conflict in Southern Thailand where Islamist terrorists seeking independence have caused the death of more than 6,000 in the past 20 years? Thailand was never colonised and the Buddhist majority must be among the least aggressive people on the planet.

    How do we explain the history of anti-Christian riots in Indonesia over the past 20 years where thousands of Christians and Balinese Hindus have experienced terror, murder and mass rape by Islamic gangs? In 2005, Islamic terrorists in Sulawesi beheaded 3 Indonesian Christian schoolgirls on their way to school. In what way did this represent a valid critique of Western oppression? The recent ugly election campaign in Jakarta in which Islamic hardliners claimed that Chinese Indonesian Christians should never be allowed to govern Indonesian Muslims hardly betokens the peaceful coexistence envisaged by Mr Javid.

    In Mindanao, in the Southern Philippines, for the past 30 years a low level insurgency has continued as Muslims refuse to accept the authority of the central government. Even in countries where the non-Muslims represent a tiny minority of the populace, they are not safe from persecution by the Islamic hardliners. Asia Bibi is a Pakistani Christian who has been accused of blasphemy and has been in jail for seven years while the grotesque case against her winds its way through what passes for a legal system in that benighted country. One of the lawyers who was defending this unfortunate woman, Salman Taseer, was himself murdered by his own Islamic bodyguard because in defending her he was guilty of blasphemy.

    I would be very interested to see how the left wing apologists who claim Islamic atrocities are due to colonialism can establish a link between colonial oppression and the Mumbai hotel massacres in 2008, which were of course carried out by Pakistani Islamists.

    In the main centres of Islam in the Middle East, violence is causing chaos and misery on an unprecedented scale as not only do the Islamic fundamentalists have the Christians and Jews to hate, but they are at each other’s throats as the Sunni and Shia sects threaten to create World War III.

    We have to recognise that Islam is no longer (if it ever was) ‘a religion of peace’. It is a religion which, for a variety of reasons, is unable to coexist with other groups in the modern world. We must recognise that the violence and conflict which is now commonplace is simply a continuation of a struggle which has been continuing for the past fifteen centuries”

      Islam isn’t a ‘religion’. It’s a pseudo-theocratic totalitarian political ideology with a sham religious facade that was concocted by Mohammed in order to con his contemporary audience into supporting him and his crude political ambitions.

      Islam was conceived as a religion of war. Robert Spencer has written many books documenting this. Most Muslims never kill anyone, but if they self-identify as Muslims, they really have to support its violent, intolerant tenets. If they dislike them, and are in a position to do so safely, they should apostatize and give it up. There’s really nothing left once you take out the violent parts.

    So let’s get this straight. Tommy Robinson was stood for well over an hour in front of, in full view of, and mere feet away from numerous police officers, whose sole reason for being there that day was to police and enforce the rules of the court and the land. Those officers would have been briefed on the laws and rules of the court to be enforced that day. Tommy even on occasion spoke to them, politely I might add, clarifying the situation. Yet all the while we are to understand that he was committing an offence worthy of 13 months in prison! In fact, we are to believe he was committing two offences. The one he was arrested for, namely ”breach of the Peace,” and the one he was tried and convicted of within a matter of hours and sent to prison for 13 months, namely ”Contempt of Court.” And yet, at no point was he even spoken to, or warned, by those offices about his conduct! That is insane. I am an ex-police officer of 11 years and I am telling you that is insane. A very very sad and shameful day for the UK.

    Tommy Robinson is a working-class man, a plumber by trade, I think. No degree from Oxford University, no high-falutin words,; just an ordinary man speaking the language of the common man. And yes, he is straightforward, he is provocative, he confronts all these Muslim bigots and rapists. But what could be wrong with that? You don’t need to be a PhD graduate if you want to understand the totalitarian and dehumanizing nature of Islam and the nefarious impact it can have on people. All you need is human decency, common sense and a strong sense of justice.TR epitomizes all these virtues, and those who are fighting for his release from prison, make a stand against depravity, bigotry, iniquity and stupidity.

      At that stage he *knew* – from bitter personal experience growing up in a heavily Islamised part of the UK – that there was *something* wrong with Islam, and Muslims.. But he didn’t know where exactly the wrong was coming from.

      Then he read the Quran. Nothing else to do, after all, in prison; plenty of time to read, re-read, think, and … Oh, my! On went the little light-bulbs in his head, as he began to see *exactly* why so many Mohammedans have such bad attitudes and terrible conduct toward vulnerable non-Musilms.

A job that he chooses to do with no regard for his own safety, informing the public of all the wrongs committed in the name of Allah. Fighting against adversity and reporting on issues that our mainstream media are too afraid to speak of.

      Tommy is raising issues that are affecting all of our communities, and that are being swept under the carpet and hidden from the public.

    The similarities between this assault on free speech and misuse of political power and Secretary Clintons actions against an American filmmaker in 2012 are striking. Remember Benghazigate?

    Nakoula’s video trailer, posted online and credited to “Sam Bacile,” mocked the Islamic prophet Mohammad – depicting him as everything from a bozo and womanizer to predator and homosexual. Although Obama and Clinton were later forced to acknowledge that the attack was an organized assault by Al Qaeda-linked terrorists, Nakoula was soon charged with eight counts of probation violation, jailed without bail and deemed a “danger to the community.”

    The founder of the English Defence League, Tommy Robinson, turned up in Leeds on Thursday to film people going into the trial of several Muslim men accused of “grooming” and sexually assaulting white girls. He did not speak, chant, accost anyone or do anything other than point his mobile phone at attendees, from a distance. Nor was he with a crowd. Still, seven coppers turned up and bundled him into a paddy-wagon accusing him of a breach of the peace.

    I’m not remotely a fan of Robinson. But I do not like the idea that simply being Robinson is enough to get you arrested. Or that writing something in defence of Robinson puts you somehow beyond the pale. Also, wouldn’t it have been lovely if West Yorkshire Police had acted with as much rigour and alacrity when they were first told of the horrific sexual assaults taking place within their community

    The freedom of speech is our fundamental bulwark against this kind of oppression that we are facing; it is our foremost protection that we do we can find the truth and have freedom in society rather than the lockstep intimidation, thuggery, and lies coming from Muslims and Leftists. The freedom of speech is extinguished from Islam. The reason why the truth hurts them so much is that in Islamic law the definition of slander is not as one might think, telling lies about someone, but rather telling truths about them that they had rather not be known. In other words we are telling you the truth about Islam, but Muslims and their leftist allies had rather this truth not be heard!

    Freedom of Speech has to be absolute, it cannot be restrained by feelings or political correctness or political convenience. The whole idea of hate speech is a myth, words do have power but their power is to reason and convince, not to violence but to reason. The only possible restriction to free speech should be inciting to violence, rebellion or sedition. Or words that will directly result in injury or harm to anyone (like shouting fire in in a crowded theater) less than that it has to be allowed and protected. And yes, the law cannot work if it is not applied equally, if there are protected classes that the law cannot touch. You ban a certain kind of speech from a white guy, the same speech should be banned and punished coming from a black guy. If you ban a Christian for a certain kind of speech then you fucking better ban the muslim for saying the same thing. I made a prediction 5 years ago that you can only push around and deprive white christians for so long to advance an ideology that is not acceptable to them for so long before they turn on their masters and the “privelaged class” This is how revolutions are born nurtured and start. The ruling class in Britain has got it all wrong, they are now backed up with an angry mob in front of them the virtual cage that their own stupidity and political correctness created.
