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

UK: Conservative Party may send Boris Johnson to “diversity training” over face veil comments

Aug 14, 2018 8:54 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

While UK politician Boris Johnson could be sent to “diversity training” for making a joke and comparing how women look wearing the Islamic face veil to “letter boxes” and “robbers,” other nations have behaved more realistically: in 2015, Chad banned the full-face veil following two jihad suicide bomb attacks by Boko Haram that killed over 20 people, according to a BBC report. The veil was used as a “camouflage.” Chad security forces announced that it would “burn all full-face veils sold in markets.” There are other cases:

  1. Three robbers were “convicted of killing a jewellery store owner after robbing him” while hiding in burqas. They didn’t just kill him; they tortured the 74-year-old victim as well.
  2. Days ago in Afghanistan, “29 Shia Muslim worshippers were killed and at least 80 injured when two Islamist Sunni suicide bombers entered a mosque in the Khwaja Hasan area of Gardez during Friday prayers….. the pair had worn the burqas….to hide their explosives and weapons.” The list goes on, as you can see in the article below.

Let’s hope that Johnson refuses diversity training and, in fact, comes around to advocate the full banning of the burqa and niqab. The face veil is anti-woman and a security risk. The people who are most in need of diversity training are the vast numbers of Islamic supremacists who expect infidels to bow to them and kowtow to their rigid belief system, which includes the sanctioning of abuse — otherwise they cry wolf and scream “Islamophobia” and “racism.”

“Tories Could Send Boris Johnson for ‘Diversity Training’ over Burqa Comments,” by Victoria Friedman, Breitbart, August 10, 2018:

Boris Johnson could be sent on ‘diversity training’ instead of being sanctioned by the Conservative Party after he compared the appearance of women wearing the Islamic face veil to “letterboxes” and “robbers”.

Senior Tories have reportedly told the centre-right Telegraph that the leading Brexiteer will likely not have the whip removed (be suspended from the party), but may attend training should a formal investigation find the former foreign secretary had breached the party’s “code of conduct”.

The launching of the initial investigation prompted a backlash from Johnson’s supporters within the party, with criticisms directed at party chairman Brandon Lewis.

Former Remain campaigner Lewis was accused of attempting to “kneecap” the Brexiteer to prevent him from taking over from former Remain campaigner Theresa May as party leader and Prime Minister.

One Tory MP told The Telegraph: “This is a complete own goal by Brandon Lewis. To anyone objective, it looks like a crude and unprincipled kneecap job on the favourite to succeed Theresa May.

“In the process he has managed to turn a minor story into a five-day frenzy of virtue signalling nonsense. Brandon needs to close this down or he won’t last as party chairman.”

Another Johnson ally, Conor Burns MP, called the investigation “perverse” and “bizarre”, criticising the culture of political correctness and stifling free speech.

“It would be perverse and bizarre were the party to launch a formal investigation,” Mr Burns said.

“When we have reached the stage when you cannot express an opinion it is a rum do in the party of freedom……

“Burqas as Security Threats: How Criminals and Terrorists Use the Islamic Face Veil,” by Victoria Friedman, Breitbart , August 9, 2018:

While the debate over the place of Islamic face veils in Western society has been reignited after Britain’s former Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson criticised the garment, three robbers were convicted of killing a jewellery store owner after robbing him whilst disguised in a burqa.

Store owner and family man Ramniklal Jogiya had suffered such horrific injuries that his biceps had been ripped from his bones, suffering 27 separate injuries in total after Charles Mcauley, 20, Thomas Jervis, 24, and Callan Reeve, 20, tortured the 74-year-old to gain information on his shop in Leicester, England, before Jervis entered the shop wearing a burqa in an attempt to rob it.

On the other side of the world in Afghanistan just days ago, 29 Shia Muslim worshippers were killed and at least 80 injured when two Islamist Sunni suicide bombers entered a mosque in the Khwaja Hasan area of Gardez during Friday prayers. Provincial police chief General Raz Mohammad Mandozai said that the pair had worn the burqas —  a one-piece veil that covers the face and body, leaving just a mesh screen over the eyes — to hide their explosives and weapons.

The Gardez attack was the most recent and high-profile attack on civilians by those who intentionally wear the modesty garment worn in Islamic cultures to commit crimes and acts of terror.

Breitbart London has compiled a list of the most notable murders, rapes, assaults, robberies, and even child molestation cases in the past few years where the perpetrator hid behind the veil, taking advantage of liberal societies and Islamic cultures alike:

In Chad in July 2015, a man dressed in a burqa detonated a suicide bomb in the main market in the country’s capital N’Djamena, killing 15 people and injuring 80, with authorities blaming Boko Haram, the radical Islamic terror group based in neighbouring Nigeria.

While defenders of the burqa in the West will claim it is not a security threat, countries in Africa have opted to ban the burqa and the niqab, with Muslim majority Chad banning them in the same year it suffered the aforementioned attack.

Fellow African nations Gabon, Congo, and parts of Cameroon also banned the burqa in the same year, also for security reasons, and in 2017, North African nation of Morocco banned the production and manufacture of the clothing over fears of terrorism, and to crack down on Islamic extremism.

There have also been terror attacks by burqa-clad assailants in Asia and the Middle East….

        It depends on what that diversity consists of. If it is civilized people who broadly share your values but have different food and music, it can indeed be a good thing. If it is ravening Muslims out to rape and murder us and impose brutal Shari’ah law, then not so much.

    If Johnson and Rees-Mogg team up, May is finished the next week. Johnson will call the diversity training what it is, Maoist re-education, and will gain massive support.

    • Peter Buckley says

      Aug 14, 2018 at 2:53 pm

      Indeed. May will be aware of the distinct possibility of Johnson, Rees-Mogg, Farage et al setting up shop on her right side. Expect another lurch to the Right by the Tories, just like everywhere else in Europe, both in terms of leadership and policy, or a new “right-wing” party, headed by the above, particularly if May fails to deliver on Brexit, as seems almost certain. Personally, I’m enjoying watching the whole farce unravel……

    Anyone in Britain who believes the veil is not a security issue should be reminded of this: in 2006, a Somali asylum seeker wanted for the murder of WPc Sharon Beshenivsky was believed to have fled Britain dressed as a woman wearing a Muslim niqab. Presumably out of political correctness and the fear of of offending minorities, at no stage in the departure and immigration process was he asked to remove the veil.

      Boris Johnson will be receiving treatment at the Ministry of Truth. When he comes back, he will appreciate diversity and realize the error of his statements. Double plus good for Boris Johnson.

    Senior Islamist spokespeople are desperate to shut down all discussion of Islam and Islamic culture. We must not discuss “honour killings”, FGM, women’s clothing, child brides, multiple wives and if we do, others must immediately shout “ISLAMOPHOBE !”.

    This is Boris’ mistake; he has given senior Islamist spokespeople an opportunity to demand that the whip be withdrawn from him. He must be expelled from the Party. Better, he must be expelled from the UK. Even better, he should be expelled from Europe, from the World, then from this galaxy and after that from the Universe.

    That should cover it (so to speak !)

    Some folks ponder why the once Great Britain is now a pathetic little island under siege. Persecute or prosecute anyone, this time Boris, for daring to practice his or her democratic rights, freedom of speech and thought. Britain, an autocracy in guise as a Parliamentary Democracy. Churchill and others who fought totalitarianism are turning in their graves. May et al, are spitting on the mentioned graves while aligning themselves with a Theocratic Cult that in many ways make Nazism resemble Boy Scouts.

    I am not minimizing nor mitigating Nazism’s heinous crimes against humanity, especially Jews and others deemed Untermensch.

    What a hoot. Where to start? As usual, the politically-correct elites are up in arms, foaming at the mouth over the fact that Johnson has dared (shock! horror!) to express what the overwhelming majority thinks:

    https://www.therebel.media/most_brits_agree_with_boris_johnson_but_the_real_furore_is_not_over_the_burqa

    Thus proving, yet again, how completely out of touch they are. Personally, I’m enjoying watching the whole farce unravel, as the PC brigade get their knickers in a twist. Imam Taj Hargey has called veil-wearers ” ninja-like contraptions”. Obviously, he must be an “Islamophobe” for agreeing with Johnson. Can muslims be “Islamophobes? That is the question those who use the word must explain to us. Watch them tie themselves in knots trying to do so. Enjoy the whole farce here, as the Islamic faith continues to unravel:

    The HIJAB scam is just one of many such deceptions perpetrated by Muslims against Quran ignorant people (almost 80% of humanity)

    Boris should never apologize to the deceitful Muslims but on the contrary should demand they prove him wrong.

    I challenge any Muslim the sum of $200,000 to find the word HIJAB anywhere in Muhammad’s Quran describing the covering of a female in any way shape or form

    I also challenge Muslims to find anywhere in the traditions about Muhammad describing his wives wearing the HIJAB

    Any judge dealing with this particular issue should DEMAND that Muslims provide such information that they say SHARIA requires it

    Do not beat around the bush. Always go for the jugular. They have to prove their point

    Is there a Muslim who wants to lose $200,000? Please challenge me!

    Muslims have to either Put Up or forever Shut Up!

    The UK Conservative Party has the training issue completely backwards.

    The entire Conservative Party needs to be trained in an anti-Jihad course such as “Understanding the Threat” by John Guandolo.

    Mandatory reading should also include Robert Spencer’s new book “The History of Jihad from Muhammad to ISIS”, with a quiz to follow. By the way, The spelling of Muhammad is easy if you remember that it ends in “MAD”.

    Boris Johnson should be left alone.

    “Diversity Training” sounds so much like Mao’s “Reeducation Camps.” No amount of “Training” IMO would cause Mr. Johnson to really change his mind, nor should it. He will always hold the opinion that veils and Burkas are “Creepy and weird,” and he should. They are.

    I am reminded of the piles of skeletons from the era of the Kmer Rouge. Will this happen in Western Europe to those who cannot be sufficiently diversified?
