European Parliament removes election ad after Muslim politician calls it “Islamophobic”

Oct 13, 2018 8:45 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

The “Islamophobia” canard once again at work in Europe, and the brazenness of those who wield it knows no bounds:

The European parliament is to remove one of its election adverts after it was branded “Islamophobic” by a British politician. Conservative MEP Sajjad Karim raised concerns over a giant banner that was recently put up in Brussels and Strasbourg to promote next year’s European elections. The poster – part of the parliament’s £29m “this time I’m voting” campaign – shows a woman in a head scarf next to the words: “Because we need to work together to manage migration.”

It is an Islamic supremacist expectation that no one must ever insult Islam or Muslims, or be perceived as doing so. Therefore, European Parliament voluntary accepted dhimmitude and removed the so-called “offensive” advert. So once again the idea that any opposition to mass Muslim migration is “Islamophobic” is reinforced. The more Westerners kowtow to the demands of Islamic supremacists, the more entitled and brazen they will become.

“European parliament to remove ‘Islamophobic’ election advert,” by Luke James, Yahoo Finance UK, October 8, 2018:

The European parliament is to remove one of its election adverts after it was branded “Islamophobic” by a British politician.

Conservative MEP Sajjad Karim raised concerns over a giant banner that was recently put up in Brussels and Strasbourg to promote next year’s European elections.

The poster – part of the parliament’s £29m “this time I’m voting” campaign – shows a woman in a head scarf next to the words: “Because we need to work together to manage migration.”

The European Network Against Racism said the message equated ‘managing migration’ with limiting the entry of Muslims into Europe.

The group’s senior advocacy officer, Julie Pascoet, said she was “outraged” to see the parliament supporting “Islamophobic narratives.”

Yahoo UK revealed last week that Karim had written to the parliament president Antonio Tajani to demand that the poster be removed…..

      I am sure she is not enraged by all the crimes being committed by migrants. For the trillionth time Islam is not a race

        Islam has lost the race. Personally I think being called Islamophobic is a badge of honour and is the correct thing to be.

        Who is it who is electing Muslim candidates? it must be left wing traitors and Muslims who are not allowed to vote according to the Koran, as they only believe in sharia law, and western law counts for nothing.

          The Muslims have used the Labour Party as their vehicle for promotion and the Conservative party has now encouraged them to join and stand for the European Parliament and Westminster as they believe it will bring them the Muslim vote.
          All politicians care about is having power and they will court anyone who might vote for them. They don’t give a fig for the benefit or disadvantage to their country. Theresa May is the living embodiment of that principle.

    Europe has officially gone Islamic… I don’t see people of Christian, Jewish or any other peaceful faith being able to live and practice safely in Europe any longer.. They’ve brought this on themselves.

    Maybe there will be another European migration to the US as there was in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Seems the time is ripe for it…

    And as they leave, so leaves European culture… Shame..

      Yes, it will be painful for you, but do not struggle, do not resist. We are doing it for your own good. Globalism is inevitable.

      (sarc/off)

      Except nothing is inevitable in politics if their is enough push-back.

    What is not Islamophobic in a Muslim’s eye. Even calling Muslim a Muslim is Islamophobic to them! Very clever – the the West doesn’t get it or doesn’t want to get it!1

    • mortimer says

      Oct 13, 2018 at 3:03 pm

      Jaladhi, Islamophobia means it is ILLEGAL TO BE AFRAID.

      Muslims, however, can be AFRAID, PARANOID, TERRIFIED, PANICKED about conspiracies and that’s JUST FINE.

      It’s ONE-WAY FEAR … KAFIROPHOBIA IS LEGAL !!!

  4. mortimer says

    Oct 13, 2018 at 9:46 am

    The issue is Islamic supremacism. That is OFFENSIVE to 70% of the population in most European countries, US, Canada and Australia.

    We are not allowed to talk about what we fear! Fear of jihad is ILLEGAL.

    What if it were illegal to talk about RACISM? How would they feel?

    The permission to be afraid is ONE-SIDED.

    Has this hit a raw nerve with this ‘gentleman’ Sajjad Karim? Perhaps he’s actually starting to be aware that he and his chums aren’t actually quite as welcome in the UK (and elsewhere in Europe) as the manufactured PC propaganda has been suggesting, which could possibly mean that the gravy train hits the buffers some time in the not-too-distant future. And his only knee-jerk response is to invoke the totally irrelevant and meaningless ‘islamophobia’ mantra, as if everyone is suddenly going to freeze into quavering deference at the sound of ‘that’ word. Well, the brainwashed elite of Brussels did, but they’re not ‘everyone’. Thank God.

    Dear MEPs, the entire populations of Visigrad and Austria, speaking as one, are not allowed voice their migration concerns, but one MEP can snap his fingers and the whole European Parliament jumps? How does your recent determined display of self-righteous indignation towards the democratically-elected leader of a sovereign EU member-state bringing his country’s serious national concerns to the floor of the Parliament look in light of this craven cowering to one MEP’s entitled behaviour?

    There has been much complaint about Nigel Farage’s abuse of his Parliamentary position, and rightly so. How is Sajjad Karim’s behaviour any different? Well, it is. For one, you did not respond to Farage’s outrageous demands, let alone dropping everything to comply. Farage and his coterie brought down the tone and standards of the Parliament. You’ve all just dome exactly the same. Shame on you. Shame on you. What’s Karim going to demand next? Yet still you think yourselves morally superior to the large European populations whose genuine concerns you will not hear. Does Karim guard our borders? Answer that!

    As it happens, I, a citizen of the European Union, am also, like Karim, unhappy with your “Because we need to work together to manage migration” poster, albeit for very different reasons to those of Karim. Instead of demanding you take the poster down (the totalitarian response), I would’ve wanted the poster widely debated, especially in the member-states that have a great deal to say about our migration mismanagement, and that you seem as ready to take down as you were swift to take down that poster.

    A person who is aware that there are many things wrong and dangerous and harmful as well as v yer deceptive about Islam is not someone who has a case of “Islamophobia” that individual actually has a case of Islamorealism..
    For example,Those brutal vicious jihadist/ Muslims of ISIS with their murderous Islamic scheming for further jihad attacks in the different countries of Europe is a awful and wicked reality. Those brutal and deadly jihad entity ISIS are actually putting in to the practice, with all their ruthless actions, the violence and killing that is part of the teaching of the “holy book” of Islam, the Koran. Which contain the doctrine of extreme violent force for the advancement of Islam. As seen in the Koran, for example, 2:191. 4:89. 5:33. 9:5,111,123. 47:4. So in spite of the strong denials by many, ISIS is an actual Islamic organization. Likewise the malicious, bloodthirsty violence jihadists who make up ISIS are real Muslims. Nevertheless, there are some who might , understandably, wonder and then ask “Just how can those jihadists of ISIS ,being so very religious , also at the time also be so very malice-filled ,unfeeling and deadly ? “ The answer to that question is found in the Bible. For the Bible teaches that there are some people who are extremely heartless, cold, callous and dangerous because they have had “their conscience seared with a hot iron.” First Timothy 4:2. [ K.J.V.] In this case of the members of ISIS this “hot iron” is Islam.

    It is quite clear that the Prime Directive of all Muslim politicians is to promote Jihad al Hijrah. It’s in the Quran.

  11. Alert Christian says

    Oct 13, 2018 at 9:27 pm

    The majority of leaders of EU and political elites except a few, are now behaving as if they are the slaves of Islam and Muslims. They are more interested in avoiding being seen as Islamophobes than in protecting the future long-term well-being of people and the countries they lead. Self-imposed moral uprightness and cowardice will embolden Muslims to demand more and more. While Christian minority living in the Muslim countries are being treated badly in everyday basis, Muslims in the not-yet-Muslim countries are behaving like the Lords of non-Muslim hosts! It is time to wake up for all the non-Muslim folks to heed this on-going sad situation.

    Dear British citizens, please always remember that as Infidels/ Kuffar/ Non Muslims, you are NOT the only ones targeted for Subjugation to Sharia or EXTERMINATION by Muslims (Arabs or otherwise) hence it is VITAL that you realize that one does not need more than two brain cells of logic to understand Muslims and Islam in a nutshell~

    Since every Muslim is Sharia compliant (Conservative MEP Sajjad Karim, CAIR, ISNA, London mayor Khan (who made Haj to Mecca as well as Linda Sarsour who LOVES Sharia), every Muslim cannot ever be a Law abiding LOYAL citizen in ANY non Muslim nation because these nations do not submit to Allah’s Sharia.

    Hence every Sharia compliant Muslim is by his/her belief system the Mortal and Eternal ENEMY of every human being on Earth who is NOT a Muslim (Infidels/ Kuffar) who hide their disloyalty by PRETENDING and deceiving (Taqiyyah) non Muslims that they are part and parcel of the American or European dream such as Regina Mustafa, Linda Sarsour, etc..

    Therefore, Ummat Muhammad (Muslims) 20% of humanity aspires to do one of two things to all non Muslims (Ummat al Kuffar/ Nation of Infidels; 80% of humanity): To SUBJUGATE them to Sharia or to EXTERMINATE them.

    Let me put it in an even shorter way: It is impossible for Muslims to be BOTH Good Muslims and Loyal citizens among Kuffar/Infidels. Therefore no Muslim can ever be loyal to Western law or Western peoples who are not Muslims.

    Can Conservative MEP Sajjad Karim or ANY Muslim in the UK REFUTE me?

    I have read all of the comments concerning
    The taking down of the banner as ( asked )
    By the Muslim Minister.
    And the directive of the manner of all who
    Have made their statements , is down to
    The made up word. ( ISLAMAPHOBIA ) ??.
    THOSE whom have selected to come and
    Live in the UNITED kingdom, should know we are a CHRISTIAN COUNTRY!! So why do
    They continue to override our Religious
    Beliefs and STILL want to take advantage of our DEMOCRATIC way of life ??? Which
    Also includes FREEDOM within the chosen
    Country . THEY made the DECISION !!L
