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

Gays Against Sharia UK rally planned, Antifa counter-protesting to oppose “Islamophobia”

Jul 24, 2018 8:20 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

Gays Against Sharia UK announced that they are holding a joint rally with Standing For Britain. The group states on Facebook that the march will be protesting “against Muslim grooming gangs operating in Stockton.”

As with anyone who stands against Islamic abuses of women, infidels, gays, Jews, etc., “anti-fascists are gearing up to counter protest” against the march in Stockton. In an absurd statement, Antifa is urging “all who oppose racism and Islamophobia” to support the “anti-fascist protest.” Again, the words “Islamophobia” and “racism” are manipulated in service of a socialist-jihadi alliance. Antifa ignores real hate, intolerance and abuse, which Gays Against Sharia UK is standing against, and some of which is targeted at their own community. Here are a handful of examples:

  • An influential Iranian cleric, Ayatollah Abdollah Javiadi-Amoli, who is entitled to issue juristic rulings according to the Sharia, said that politicians who pass laws in favour of homosexuals are lower than animals. “Even animals … dogs and pigs don’t engage in this disgusting act [homosexuality] but yet they [western politicians] pass laws in favour of them in their parliaments.”
  • An American Muslim cleric, Sheikh Khalid Yasin, stated: “God is very straightforward about this — not we Muslims, not subjective, the Sharia is very clear about it, the punishment for homosexuality, bestiality or anything like that is death. We don’t make any excuses about that, it’s not our law — it’s the Koran.”
  • Tunisian Sheikh Sheikh Fathi Rebaï, who has rejected and rebuked calls for the rights of homosexuals, stated that “cattle are more honorable” than homosexuals. Citing a hadith, he said that “the only disagreement among Sunni scholars was over the method of execution, with the Hanafi school advocating throwing them down from a high place and then stoning them to death.”
  • According to the American Center for Democracy: “Canada, which prides itself of draconian ‘hate speech’ laws, allows major Muslim organizations, imams preaching in  mosques, open lectures, books, videos and on social media, the notion that ‘The Hadd [fixed punishment] of homosexuality is stoning to death. The methods of killing them (the two who committed the homosexual act) that have been related from the Companions have differed. From among them, there were those who burned them with fire. Others among them killed them by stoning them with stones.  Ibn ‘Abbas said about them. “The highest building in the village should be sought, then they should be thrown from it upside down (i.e. on their heads). Then they should be stoned after that.”’ Excerpts from the book Minhaj-Al-Muslim by Abu Bakr Al-Jazairy (purchased at the Islamic Circle of North America’s bookstore in Toronto).”

Gays Against Sharia UK is also featuring a speech from Anne Marie Waters, the leader of the For Britain party and former UKIP member, who recently wrote a telling article for Jihad Watch entitled “Our Democracy is Dead and Left-Wing Fascism Has Replaced It.”

“Counter-protest planned against Gays Against Sharia UK and Standing For Britain joint rally in Stockton,” by David Huntley, Gazette Live, July 23, 2018:

Anti-fascists are gearing up to counter protest against a march in Stockton.

The counter protest comes after campaigners, Gays Against Sharia UK announced they are holding a joint rally with Standing For Britain and will be marching through the town centre this Saturday.

The group states on Facebook that the march will be protesting “against Muslim grooming gangs operating in Stockton”.

There is also a planned speech from Anne Marie Waters, the leader of the For Britain party and former UKIP member.

In response to the march, Teesside People’s Assembly have now organised a counter protest which they have called ‘No Place for Hate’.

They are urging “all who oppose racism and Islamophobia” to support the “anti-fascist protest”.

Teesside PA activist, Barbara Campbell said: “Gays Against Sharia and Standing for Britain are fronts set up by far-right groups intent on inciting hostility towards the local Muslim community, which they seek to scapegoat.

“We are organising this counter-protest to oppose the fascist message of intolerance and to make it clear that Stockton is no place for hate.”

The campaigners are asking those “opposed to racism and fascism” to assemble at 1.30 pm on Saturday near the fountain in Stockton town centre.

Teesside PA’s action is being supported by Stand Up To Racism North East and Unite the union’s Teesside Local Government branch.

          What tripe. While many gays are liberal, few are socialist. You also find conservative gays.

          You also have not said why you oppose them standing against Shari’ah. Really, we need all the allies we can get.

        I may be gay but I’m not an idiot! Life is difficult enough when you are constantly set aside in your job because of your sexual preference. Avoid high buildings because gay
        Bashers such as islamists would not think twice to throw you off. Those idiots rally in favor of these creeps! How?

          Good on you Johan. One of my closest friends is a gay conservative and I love him to bits.

          Ignore Elisha. You won’t burn in hell, and you sure as hell don’t need to repent for being gay.

          I hope you can build up a healthy immunity to extremist Christians and Islamists alike. Both are so righteous that they can’t see where they are going wrong.

      “We are organising this counter-protest to oppose the fascist message of intolerance and to make it clear that Stockton is no place for hate.”

      Huh? Honestly, words fail me. Clearly, these people have never read the quran/hadiths and have NO intention of ever doing so:

      The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness. – 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12

      • Naildriver says

        Jul 25, 2018 at 9:54 am

        I can’t follow your thinking, Elisha. All this quoted Bible babble out of context or directed at a gay who correctly sees the evil of Islam.
        The JW article points out gays are beginning to see the dangers and deceptions they, as a group, till now mostly have ignored concerning Islam.
        JW hasn’t endorsed threats against gays but you seem to do so, in these quips regarding Sodom and Gamorrah.
        Gays do not choose their sexuality and it’s true a great many are conservatives; so, it is more true to say the gay ‘community ‘ has been highjacked by fanatics than to say Islam has been so hijacked — since it is the devoted in Islam that are the biggest threat — and they seem to share your position. Keep your proselytizing BS.

    It makes me laugh that the Iranian Ayatollah Javiadi-Amoli states that “Even animals … dogs and pigs don’t engage in this disgusting act”, yet Arabs and Muslims are well-known for their delectations for boys. I knew several members of Brunei’s Defence Forces, who told me when I questioned their sleeping arrangements that “women are for babies, boys are for fun”.

    There has already been for you an excellent pattern…..
    “between us and you animosity and hatred forever…”.

    islam is a death cult disguising itself as a religion in order to take advantage of freedom of religion laws in the West. Moderates are called hypocrites by the minority of fanatics, but many hypocrites secretly support the fanatics, apparently not realizing that they too, are considered the enemy by the fanatics. Their time , (fanatics), on earth is merely waiting to go to their virgins in paradise, so many fanatics welcome suicide bombing as a fast track to allah etc. People will say only a small percentage of islamists are fanatics, but given that they number over one and a half billion, whatever your definition of a billion is, it’s still a lot of western freedom hating fanatics that want to kill us….

      Apparently there are enough gay people with common sense to assemble a protest rally against their number one enemy which is good news. However, ANTIFA members and their ilk continue raging away with no sign of intelligence or decency. Maintaining their ideological delusion requires the adoption of a victim hierarchy which itself requires an oppressor to hate. This can lead to cannibalism when a member of the tribe breaks rank which is the case here.

    “The fascists of the future will call themselves anti-fascists”-Winston Churchill.
    The tactics of Antifa, the self-professed “anti fascists” who denounce anyone not like them as “Nazis” are the use of fear, intimidation and violence to derail opposing views. The deplatforming of conservative speakers and rallies is EXACTLY the tactic of Hitler’s Brownshirts.
    We are seeinf the 1930’s all over again. You would think the People would wake up and just not vote for ANY politician who does not call for crackdowns on these ferals.

    Only somewhat off-topic–there was a bit of insanity here in Oakland yesterday. Members of an “alt-right” group were just rumored to be meeting at a trendy bar, and the Antifa types went nuts. There was no such meeting.

    The folks at the bar panicked, and instantly organized a fundraiser against the “alt-right”.

    https://www.facebook.com/202106556499788/photos/a.541628129214294.1073741825.202106556499788/1839725406071220/?type=1&theater

    Later, a man rumored to be “alt-right” was beaten at the protest. Very ugly.

    The ultrafascist antifa:They are “more fascist than the Fascists”

    Mussolini would be impressed:they act the same way as fascists,they dress in a similar way.The same intellectually-challenged,thick-headed imbecility.

    They may be modern Leftard bolsheviks but their ideology and behavior is identical with fascism.They are nothing but glorified thugs and political morons who need to be kept down.They are worse than the far right.

    No surprise that the antifa Fascists are happy to assist islamic supremacist ideology.
    Dissembling,false propaganda,antisemitism,violence and hatred are their tools.

    secular fascists of antifa+religious fascists of islam=modern Bolshevism

    Possibly one explanation for the pervasive misconceptions of American and European gay tolerance and even support for Islam, and the weird myopia of seeing or acknowledging Islam’s threats it presents to them is the natural immigration over the last 50 years of Muslim gays into the West.
    Certainly among the vanguard of Muslim males, along with the greedy or oppressed, come gay Muslims, followed by their relatives.
    I suspect many Western gays then have encountered numerous apostate Muslim gays fleeing their intolerant and dangerous homelands or predator Muslim gays willing to lie about Islam to have consensual sex with young Western men.
    Consequently, many gays believe Islam isn’t much more than their own weak beliefs, and that the nice, docile gay Muslims reflect the larger body of the population of Muslims — and present to us the most common of all arguments that because they know a ‘nice’ Muslim it can be inferred Islam isn’t the problem.
    JW is correct to report this new awareness from this British gay group. Anti Jihad and anti-Islamic groups should suppress the more conservative homophobic elements — some of which is typically expressed in above comments.
    If gays do have the political clout so many complain of, then it’d be good if gay activists finally got this issue right, and joined in protesting the invasion from adherents to a system, Islam, that would literally murder them.

    Muslims are not doing anything other than what the Koran says to do which is “kill the infidel” and gays are particularly in their sites. It is required for all observant Muslims to demand the death of gays and all infidels. This is basic Islam and always has been. There is no tolerance for non Muslims they must be killed or enslaved or taxed to death or all three. Islam is violent and intolerant

    I was on that march. The locals who were out shopping lined the street and clapped and cheered us on. The Anita mob disappeared after about 10 mins. Don’t believe the BS about how the community united against the nasty Nazis.
