The intrepid Hill says it would be “‘fundamentally wrong’ to attach terrorism ‘to any of the world religions.”
All right. But who, exactly, is doing the attaching here? Islamic jihadis routinely point to the Qur’an and Muhammad to justify their actions and appeal to peaceful Muslims. And the Qur’an itself exhorts Muslims to “strike terror in the enemies of Allah” (8:60), and also says that Allah will also strike terror in them (3:151), as well as command the angels to do so (8:12).
“He said that the term ‘Daesh-inspired terrorism’ should be used instead.”
Unfortunately for Hill, Islamic terrorism is a lot older than “Daesh,” The history of Islam includes an unbroken record of jihad violence, including terrorism. Wherever Muslims have gone in the world, some of them have waged jihad warfare against non-Muslims. Terrorist acts against Christians, Jews, Hindus and others were frequent. The whole shocking record of this, hardly known at all in the West and obscured by mountains of propaganda, is in my new book The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS, the first and only one-volume narrative history of jihad in the English language. Arm yourself against the propaganda, which just keeps on coming — order the book here.
“New top prosecutor is slammed for refusing to use the phrase ‘Islamic terrorism’ after meeting with apologists who described Jihadi John as a ‘beautiful young man,'” by Martin Robinson, Mailonline, November 9, 2018:
The new CPS chief has been accused of using ‘deeply unhelpful’ language about extremists by refusing to say ‘Islamic terrorism’.
The Henry Jackson Society (HJS) is unhappy about Max Hill QC’s appointment as the Director of Public Prosecutions because he believes it is ‘fundamentally wrong’ to attach terrorism ‘to any of the world religions’.
He said that the term ‘Daesh-inspired terrorism’ should be used instead.
Today he was accused of ‘apeing’ the language used by CAGE, who said Mohammed Emwazi, ISIS’ executioner-in-chief until he was killed in a drone strike, was ‘beautiful’ and ‘extremely gentle’.
Mr Hill, who replaced Alison Saunders last week, met with Cage last autumn just a month after director Muhammad Rabbani was convicted of a terror offence after refusing to hand over passwords to his mobile phone and laptop at Heathrow Airport.
Today the HJS claimed Mr Hill has been ‘influenced, inaccurately, by the Islamist group’s agenda’.
Emma Webb, a research fellow, told The Daily Telegraph: ‘In the wake of negative publicity damaging the CPS, Max Hill has vowed that through his appointment he will “restore trust”. But it is difficult to see how this will be possible given his habit of meeting disproportionately with extremist and intolerant groups.
‘He has shown himself to have bad taste and judgment in the company he keeps. This is certainly not a man who can be trusted to ensure justice is done when it comes to Islamist extremism.’
In February Mr Hill declared that it is ‘fundamentally wrong’ to use the phrase ‘Islamist terrorism’ to describe any attacks carried out in Britain and elsewhere.
Max Hill QC said that the word terrorism should not be attached ‘to any of the world religions’.
His comments put him at odds with Prime Minister Theresa May, then Home Secretary Amber Rudd, the police and MI5 who all spoke about the threat posed by ‘Islamist terrorists’.
The former terrorism watchdog takes charge of the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) after months in which it has been heavily criticised for a catalogue of disclosure failings that led to cases collapsing.
His predecessor Ms Saunders announced she was quitting the post in April, rejecting criticisms of her five-year stint and describing claims that standards had slipped as ‘hugely insulting’ to prosecutors.
He secured the conviction of the failed 21/7 bombers – terrorists who plotted to blow up a London tube train in July 2005.
He was appointed the Government’s independent reviewer of terror legislation in February 2017 – a turbulent and deadly year for Britain’s streets….

We’ve just got rid of one total incompetent in the form of Alison Saunders, and I didn’t think it could get any worse. Now we have this specimen, who was no doubt appointed because he’d dance to the tune of the UK’s nerw islamic aristocracy. I believe I recall President Trump saying that he welcomed newcomers to the USA. When can I apply?
Walter Sieruk says
This top, chief, British prosecutor of the United Kingdom who be refusing to use the term “Islamic terrorism” is actually collaborating with the Muslims who striving for the advancement by of Islam by the means of the stealth jihad. The goal of those stealth jihadists in not only gain for the power and might and control of Islam in England but even the whole of the continent of Europe as well.
One thing about Muslims who engage in the stealth jihad for Islam , they for sure have much ambition in their Islamic agenda.
For one of the main goals of many jihad –minded Muslims is the Islamic conquest of the nations of Europe. One of the methods of achieving Muslin object by not necessary by the means of the violent and deadly “militant” jihad but by the subtle, sly, subversive and insidious way of engaging in that which is known as the stealth jihad. This type of jihad for the advancement and control of Islam in the European countries is to infiltrate into, as in gain, access to, the governmental institutions of the nations of Europe .
This is a large and great part of the grand scheme of stealth jihadist agenda to enhance and gain strong and then stronger influence and then supreme control of Islam over the whole continent of Europe. As on scholar on Islam and the Muslim zeal -filled intentions for Islam had revealed that “Of all the continents of the World, Europe is probably the number one target by Muslim strategists who are seeking world dominance…” [1] of course ,this author means “world dominance. , Not for those specific Muslim themselves but “world dominance for Islam.” Likewise, another scholar r and expert on this subject wrote exposed that “Since the stealth jihad is more advance in Europe then in the United States, the situation there is more dire….Muslims are accomplishing today what they have tried but failed to do for over a millennium : conquer Europe.” [2] Most intelligent people will well understand that “As Europe goes ,so will in time, go north America.
Further, about this Muslim scheme of the stealth jihad otherwise called the Muslim method of Islamic Gradualism to enact Sharia law in many different countries of Europe is in contrast to the way of the violent jihad or also called the militant jihad .This non-violent form of the jihad for Islam is a very sly, insidious, subtle and deceptive way of working for the advancement of Islam.
This Muslim scheme for achieving the goal of the Islamic agenda is as, many times, as subtly effective as it is demonically clever. Furthermore, this Islamic gradualism, in some ways, is very similar to the instruction printed in the book entitled THE ART OF WAR by Sun Tzu. Which reads “At first, then, exhibit the coyness of a maiden, until the enemy gives you an opening; afterwards emulate the rapidity of a running hare, and it will be too late for the enemy to opposes you”
In addition, those scheming stealth jihadist /Muslims who attempt to have Sharia law set up in the countries of Europe do also engage in the doctrine of the Islamic doctrine of Taqiyya which is very insidious. Taqyyia is the jihad dogma that deception is a good thing to do as long as it’s done for the advancement of Islam. Nevertheless, the God of the Bible “condemns those who devise wicked schemes…” Proverbs 12:11. [N.I.V.] Likewise, Proverbs 12:20 teaches “Deceit is in the hearts of those who plot evil.”

Excellent analysis, Walter. Makes me think of a quote from The Godfather 1972:
Clemenza: “You know you got to stop them at the beginning, like they should have stopped Hitler at Munich, They should never’ve let him get away with that. They was just asking for big trouble.”
Benedict says
“ it would be “‘fundamentally wrong’ to attach terrorism ‘to any of the world religions.”….
In order to check the fundamentals we just need to ask a few questions to settle the matter: How and why did the armies of Muhammad end up at the gates of Vienna? Contrast then the answers with the answers to the questions: How an why did the apostle Paul end up in a prison in Rome?
The intention of the intrepid appeaser Max Hill is evident but vain: You can’t prophesy a peaceful Islam into existence by fiat, just as you can’t turn a python into a lamb by patting it on its belly. It also doesn’t work the other way round: you can’t provoke a lamb to squeeze the life out of you by having it smell a rat in your bosom.

Criticism of him and his definitions is largely academic as long as he prosecutes terrorists with vigor. As DPP it doesn’t matter if he calls them “Islamic terrorists” or just “terrorists” because he won’t be prosecuting them for being “muslim” or “islamists”. There is no place in a court of law to tilt the balance between guilt and innocence or to design the sentence based in any way on the individual’s race, religion, ethnicity, colour or country of origin. To do otherwise would be in line with Nazi Germany’s system.
How his beliefs will affect investigations is quite another matter but there is no reason that I can see from limited information that he won’t be diligent. For example, I can’t imagine that he would direct investigating members of the Arab Christian community when looking for FMG law violators. Time will tell.
Rarely says
“To do so…” not “to do otherwise…”. Sorry.
gravenimage says
Rarely, the idea that prosecuting Jihad terrorists makes you a Nazi is pretty questionable…
The fact is that Max Hill has been notoriously soft on Jihad terrorists, saying that those who went off to wage Jihad with ISIS are merely naive, and refusing to prosecute Jihad preachers of violence:
“UK’s “anti-terror watchdog”: “Naive” returning ISIS jihadis should not be prosecuted”
https://www.jihadwatch.org/2017/10/uks-anti-terror-watchdog-naive-returning-isis-jihadis-should-not-be-prosecuted
“UK’s “terror czar” urges that jihad preachers NOT be jailed”

After all, it’s not as though Max Hill is new to this.
Anne Smith says
I attended an open lecture he gave earlier this year at University of Hertfordshire.
He was at pains to stress that UK faced as much threat from Right Wing agitators as from Islamic terrorists. Quite where he gets proof of this is puzzling as he offered none, except mentioned that the security forces had foiled four “Right wing” plots that year. As far as we have been able to ascertain no “Right wing” plotters have been charged or put on trial, unlike the many Islamic plotters and terrorists who are recorded in trials week after week.
When asked to define “Right wing” he was stumped.
As long as soppy lefties like this man hold the key positions then Britain is doomed.

Too many people like him are trying so hard to appear to know what they are talking about. They are the wise leaders, so they think, and want the rest of us to listen and follow them.
I would give him the Dimwit of the Month award.

I have NOW LITERALLY GIVEN UP to make the Left libbies see the truth regarding Islam. I’m now convinced beyond measure that the LEFT LOVES ISLAM and their hatred for the RIGHT far supersedes their wariness of the Jehaad threat. Even then people like Robert keep on fighting and sometimes I wonder why.. it is so so so depressing at times…

Hill is a useless idiot. In February 2018 Martyn Frampton wrote:
… Hill says he talked to the MAB, the Finsbury Park Mosque and Cordoba Foundation. But as the British government’s 2014-15 review of the Muslim Brotherhood makes clear, these supposedly separate institutions show deeply interwoven personal and institutional ties. … they are all associated with the Islamists of the Muslim Brotherhood … the East London Mosque was “the key institution for the Bangladeshi wing of JI [Jamaat-i-Islami] in the UK … the Muslim Council of Britain has been described as, in effect, a partnership between the UK associates of Jamaat and the [Muslim] Brotherhood respectively. … Hill’s much vaunted engagement … amounted to his listening to the same group of people wearing six different hats … Under the guise of reaching out to Britain’s Muslim population, Hill has allowed himself to be persuaded that one minority section of the UK’s diverse Muslim communities can speak for all. … In truth as various opinion polls show, the Islamists of the Jamaat or the Brotherhood, speak for a constituency that is vanishingly small in the UK. … does Hill realise how narrow his source base is? … Groups like the East London Mosque and the Muslim Association of Britain have been the subject of controversy for over a decade. Yet reading Hill’s latest report is like the last ten years never happened. …

Just when you thought that after Alison Sanders was fired things wouldn’t get any worse, this retard appears. I wonder if he has even read the koran, let alone the Al Bukhari ahadith, the Sira and the Reliance of the Traveller which, for a person in his position, must be mandatory reading.
The bald fact is that no one in any position of authority in the UK understands what jihad is and what muslims believe. They actually see so-called right-wing extremists as a greater threat than islamists.
Theresa May may well talk of ‘islamist terrorism’ but that is all she does. Talk. Talk about and then forget it until the next atrocity happens and lives are lost because of the presence of muslims in our country.
The UK government is glaringly failing in its primary duty to protect the people of Great Britain. The PM and her ministers however are very well protected by armed bodyguards 24 hours a day. We the people have actually been rendered defenceless since the left succeeded in disarming every law abiding citizen and leaving criminals with their guns.
And to top it all, today I hear that Theresa May and her muslim Home Secretary have refused asylum to Asia Bibi for fear of muslim reaction at home Truly the most shameful act perpetrated by any British government in my lifetime, which began a few weeks before war broke out. That is my low point in nearly eighty years.
