Sharia UK: Police hunting for man who made a rude joke to a Muslim

Aug 17, 2019 4:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Note TellMAMA’s headline: they claim that this man made a “racist slur” against a Muslim. What race is Islam again? In reality, there are Muslims, and Islamic jihadis, of all races. But TellMAMA wants to intimidate Britons into believing that anyone who makes a rude quip to a Muslim is a racist, and thus deserving to have the book thrown at him.

But that’s all this was: a quip. Say anything you want: the guy was rude, or his joke was tasteless, or whatever. But an arrestable offense? That’s insane. The Muslim could have laughed it off, or come back with his own counter-quip. Instead, he contacted Tell MAMA, who contacted the police, who, instead of telling them to grow up and stop the endless victimhood posturing, is actually investigating. The cumulative effect of all the many incidents like this one in Britain will be a cowed and submissive populace that doesn’t dare utter the slightest negative word about Muslims or Islam, for fear of prosecution. And that, not coincidentally, is the status Muslims enjoy in Islamic law, which forbids all criticism of Muslims or Islam on pain of death.

“Salford City investigating racist slur made against Muslim supporter,” TellMAMA, August 14, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

A Muslim man was abused by a middle-aged man, who said: “You haven’t come to bomb the place have you?” and then laughed, as they queued to purchase tickets for the Carabao Cup clash between Salford City and Leeds United.

The incident took place outside of Salford City’s Peninsula Stadium on August 11 at around 10:00 am GMT.

Speaking to Tell MAMA, he consented to have his story shared anonymously to raise awareness of the incident, reported the Islamophobic and anti-Muslim abuse to staff who are investigating.

Tell MAMA reported the incident to Greater Manchester Police on their behalf.

The Muslim man felt targeted due to his beard, ethnicity, and thobe, which demonstrates the intersections between racialisation and religiosity. Non-Muslim men have faced racialised abuse and violence on the misperception that their appearance, including their ethnicity and beard, were indicators of the Islamic faith.

He described the perpetrator as a white male, who was in his mid-to-late fifties.

A spokesperson for Salford City spoke of their “immense disappointment”, and, in a statement to Tell MAMA, said: “We are hugely disappointed to learn of this, and it is being dealt with in cooperation with the relevant authorities. Salford City does not tolerate the use of racist or abusive language or behaviour and we will take relevant action against the person responsible in conjunction with Greater Manchester Police”….

      After witnessing the anti India demonstrators in front of the Indian High Commission in London on Indian Independence Day who numbered at leasr 5000 Muslim mennof working age. As I read their placards and heard their slogans of hatred directed against India and Indians , who called for the death of the Indian PM and the dismemberment of India, who hurled missiles against a small group of children families and pensioners who had also assembled to celebrate and not denigrate India i must agree with you Reuben.

      My impressions were further consolidated when I heard muslims interviewed on BBC calling for British Muslims to boycott British ” Indian ” businesses. And then I read a letter printed on House of Commons letter headed paper and signed by at least 8 British Muslim MPs calling on the British Government to punish India for doing away with Article 370 on Indian Kashmir and also restating lies and calumny on the Indian people especially her Hindu citizens.

          It gets worse. There are two from that part of the world in the UK inner cabinet (which I think exceeds their proportion of the population). One of the main reasons for them being there is simply because they are from that part of the world – it’s called being ‘inclusive’, which usually means deliberately ‘excluding’ the UK locals (the BBC knows all about that sort of thing!). India may have become independent from the UK in 1947, but the irony is that UK apparently seems to have become LESS independent from India ever since, to judge from current UK demographic statistics. In any case, why is the UK supposed to punish India for the purely internal decisions it makes? Because ‘certain people’ don’t happen to like those decisions? Why is it that ‘certain people’ never seem to realise that they don’t have any right whatsoever to ‘punish’ anyone else simply because THEY don’t happen to like what others do or say? Or aren’t other people supposed to have rights?

    It’s always a fight when it comes to an “infidel” and a Muslim. See Surah 9 (actually 113 of 114) and specifically verse 9:29. “Fight” means fight any way you can. The fight goes on and on until EVERYONE submits to Islam. If people would just take the time to read the Quran and understand how abrogation works, it should be clear what is going on. Yes, it appears as if the police in the U.K. have joined the fight on the side of Islam.

      Dear ‘Battle’, ALL mosques are required to teach AL WALAA WAL BARAA (an Islamic apartheid. W-B means ‘comradeship’ with Muslims only and ‘cleansing’ from KAFIRS and their non-Islamic cultures.

      Muslims have a duty to do more than ‘HATE’ Jews and Christians. Muslims are required to enslave them and then rule them under discriminatory Sharia law. That teaching is actually taught in every mosque whenever the Koran, hadiths and Sira and Sharia law are mentioned.

      You are no doubt referring to an undercover spy operation that discovered about 80% of mosques in the US have LITERATURE promoting violence against disbelievers. Yeah! And the 164 jihad verses in the Koran do that as well.

    A Muslim man was “abused” by a middle-aged man, who said: “You haven’t come to bomb the place have you?” and then laughed,”…..Just British humour, making fun of everyone and anyone, including yourself….Unoffensive pretending to be “offensive” humour. If the Muslim man were really British – nothing racist about that, if he had grown up in ordinary British society whatever ethnicity he happened to be and not segregated into an intense Islamic anti-infidel bubble – he would understand, laugh too and probably make a similar kind of pretending to be “offensive” joke back to the middle-aged man. If he doesn’t understand British culture and humour, when this is the country he lives and presumably grew up in, whose fault is that??!!!

      As far as history has it, Mecca didn’t exist in Mo’s time, but there certainly were Mosques in foreign cities. Many of them still stand, today. We know that to be true, because the Qibla points to Petra. During Mo’s era, the rocks, that they pray towards, was moved from Petra to Mecca. So Mo probably grew up in Petra, and the rocks made it to Mecca about 80 years after Mo died. Mecca was built to replace Petra. The “story” the Muslims tell, is just that, a story.

      • gravenimage says

        Aug 18, 2019 at 11:19 pm

        There is only one source that claims that Muslims originally prayed toward Petra, and no indication that the “Prophet” Muhammed ever lived there, from Islamic sources or others.

      In the U.K. getting thrown in jail for a joke really is really dangerous, as the preceived offender is not protected, this is the not funny part. I loved your sarcasm… I once was pulled into a situation where a comment was make about Orlando, I had suspected the this house with many cars and changing people was not a normal situation, noticed lots of beards, backpaks, rental trucks frequent open garage door. I was uncomfortable but just a companion of someone who had to go to this location. The comments seemed shocking and asked for a clarification of what I heard. I spoke about the doctrine and he commented he also read the Quran. I then knew I it confirmed my suspicions I was in the wrong situation and even though some people have changed the peculiar situation continues to be odd and growing. It could happen here as I see the diversity has allowed position of power and control to allow this insideous doctrine to spread,and become a problem for freedom.

I just can’t believe how our authorities, police, judiciary, etc, surrender constantly and do the bidding of these Muslim whingers, who are always crapping on about being victims. OK, not all Muslims are trouble, but there in the UK there are the Muslim rape gangs, the terrorist murderers( and it is the same in every western country) and yet our authorities constantly want to make sure the Muslims are treated well by everyone, even wasting time going after someone who told an offensive joke. Ooh, such a serious crime!! It’s pathetic. This level of surrender is truly pathetic. I would imagine many of the police, if they are average people, would think, what the f*ck are we doing wasting our time on this rubbish. As you say, Keys, Islam deserves derision and, above all, demise. I’d love to see its demise. What a wonderful occurrence that would be.

        Graven, you practice what is called turning the other cheek. But I don’t find that philosophy taught in Islam. Muhammad taught that persecution (actually any type of disrespect towards Islam) is worse than fighting. So Muslims are quick to fight anything they feel to be a slight towards them because of their religion (which is as unchangeable to them as their race).

    The UK no longer has freedom of speech.

    There are many restrictions that government may now impose on speech in the UK. Here are some examples of actual, recent cases in which disfavored speech was subject to criminal investigation and/or prosecution:

    •An atheist was convicted for placing sexually explicit images of religious figures in the Liverpool Airport prayer room. Atheist guilty over cartoons left at Liverpool airport

    •Five Muslim men were tried in Derby for distributing anti-gay leaflets. The Crime of Leafleting

    •A student was sentenced to jail time for posting racist comments on twitter while drunk. British Freedom of Speech Endangered

    •A Scottish TV personality was subject to criminal investigation for on-air remarks during the Ebola crisis. http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-30641705

    •A college diversity officer (oh, the irony!) was prosecuted for anti-white comments. Silly English Woman Is Being Charged for Tweeting Rude Things

    •A reality TV star (whatever that is) was convicted for advocating the killing of children born with Down Syndrome. Tv star who said anyone with Down’s Syndrome should be ‘put down’ faces jail

    •A singer was arrested for performing “Kung Fu Fighting” at a beach bar on the Isle of Wight. Man arrested for singing ‘Kung Fu Fighting’

    These criminal enforcement actions cannot be redeemed by saying that they involved speech that is “offensive.” The whole point of “free speech” is that it protects expression that the majority of people disagree with or find offensive. There is rarely any demand for banning inoffensive speech.

      British Police are not traitorous. They are ordinary British men and women doing a job of work. They are not an independent body but are answerable to their paymasters.

      Are people aware that in Tower Hamlets the Tower Hamlets Police are not able to police the streets of Tower Hamlets freely. They have to have a lot of meetings and consultations with Elders from East London Mosque Tower Hamlets in order to shape their local policing policy.

      In fact it is the “local youths ” who police the streets and the Police are forced to sit on their hands. By locaI youths Imean the Islamic religious police.

      At the demonstration against the Indian Embassy on August 15 th as the jeering sneering noisy mob pressed up against the line of police men and women the police forced the pro India supporters to step progressively back as the mob surged forward. They were just yielding space and footage to the mob as the Pro India supporters were squeezed into an ever smaller area. Any action in retaliation to the aggression by any pro india supporter was dealt with in a very heavy handed way bybthe police. With the 5000 strong mob however they took the line of least resistance and implemented “gentle ” policing.

      Missiles hurled by the unruly mob rained down upon the hapless , cowed pro India supporters. All their singing and playing music and dancing slowly died away as they tried to protect their children and elders from being injured by the objects thrown by the baying mob. Eventually their hands dropped to their sides and they fell silent gazing upon the writhing heaving roaring wall of hatred.

      The police asked the Indian Embassy to take the pro India supporters in “for their own safety”. Which they did and saw to the hurt and the hungry.

    The indigenous peoples of these islands have a great and often quirky sense of humour, it is known as The British Sense of humour. Given that laughing is forbidden for many adherents to this cult, and for the most part, there is no sense of humour in this cult, these people should NOT integrate, but go back to their homeland and leave us TRUE BRITS alone so that we can have a good belly laugh as we did of old.

    I’ve already published this, but after thinking about it over hours, there’s more I want to say. If the “offender” had actually thought the muslim guy was a threat, he would have acted differently, alerting security or the police. So it was a joke. What kind of joke? British humour is a bit rough-and-tumble at times, and especially in a public place where people don’t know each other well, but have some interest in common, like wanting to watch a football match, or going to the same pub. The jokes often appear to be a challenge, but it’s actually “matey”, friendly. A classic case in my experience was this: Joe, my Afro-American friend, and I used to go to a pub in Cambridge; we got to know the locals, we were accepted, no problems. Amongst the locals, daily customers, were three guys, two old, veterans of WWII; one of them used a walking stick, because he had some shrapnel in his leg from the war which couldn’t be removed. Some months, at least, after Joe and I had started going there, the guy with the stick gave Joe a leaflet, saying, “What do you think about that?” It was propaganda from the National Front, a fascist, racist party. Joe asked me, “Why did he show me that? What’s going on?” I said I had no idea, but since there was no threat or problem, we let it be. Two weeks later, the guy gave Joe another paper: “Look at this.” It was a letter that he had written to the City Council saying, “I’m a veteran of WWII, and I know what we fought for, and against; why is it possible that this racist, fascist shit should circulate in our city?” So what was it all about? Because Joe had responded with grace and silence, not offence, he was fully accepted in that pub and by those men. It was a hard challenge, but the reward was great. If you understand it well, it was an act of respect: you can handle this. On reflection, I think this is the most likely explanation of what the supposed “offender” meant by his joke. That the muslim made a complaint, and that it’s being taken seriously by the police, is muslim supremacism, and British dhimmitude.

      “if you see something, say something.”. That’s a joke. Saying something in the UK can get you arrested and probably jailed. I was on a subway when a young Muslim appearing man came to the back door and put his backpack up against the pole. I got off at the next stop, saying nothing because saying something would probably have gotten me either arrested or expelled from the country.

      I used to visit England a couple of times a year but I will never go back. They have committed suicide but don’t know they are dead.

    The only way to bring back our former way of life and our values is for a Christian revival which will affect all peoples living in the UK.
    This event will be live streamed so those who cannot travel to London can participate in their own homes.

    (Remember WW2 days of prayer. Look at the length of the queues. I believe this may have been the prayer before Dunkirk, for obviously they couldn’t mention the plans.)

    “You haven’t come to bomb the place have you?”

    Reminded me of Tawhidis reply to a Moslem calling him a dog:

    Don’t you like dogs because they can sniff bombs?

    The UK police are now implementing Sharia. I hope the Britons realize how serious this is. The laws of the UK have now been superseded by those of Sharia.

      My impression is that the non Muslim British do realise the seriousness of the situation in their country.

      However all they hear about is those brave individuals who dare speak the truth regarding Islam are being punished by being verbally and physically attacked , having their home details published and being put at risk f losing their jobs.

      They either keep their thoughts to themselves or just voice them to those whom they greatly trust.

      The pressure is building

    Islam …. The “Chosen People”. Now Where have we heard that before? “The best of people”-Quoran quote. Best for what? Pedophilia, mayhem, rape, murder, theft, pig ignorance, inability to evolve, The death toll from this wretched cult is around 350,000,000s. They are good at all the above activities.. Then there is hypocrisy, stupidity, bigamy, rampant homosexuality, cruelty and violence and total inability to love them- selves, let alone others. They marry within the family that naturally lowers their IQ. They are the classic case of of “Ooh look at me I’m superman and must be respected because my Devil cult says so.” They are just plain arrogant and deserving of nothing but utter contempt. Trouble is they are now a clear and present danger to life and limb. Indeed they are a pestilence….The modern “Borg”. War is coming. UK is over. It is already a de Facto Islamic State but the stupid feckless cowardly populace don’t recognise the fact, or refuse to.

    I cannot even be in the company of, or near a Moslem today. I hate snakes- a phobia in fact. My attitude towards these vermin and their slimy Leftist facilitators is to avoid at all costs. I will not talk to them. nor look at them. They are totally Evil incarnate. No Liberal or Police threat will change that fact.I feel physically sick in the presence of their scent. My reactions are normal. Their arrogance is like a putrid stench that infests the air around them.One can almost hear the stench hum. My phobia extends to white “reverts” as well. They especially disgust me.

    Tell Mama can ‘intimidate’ all he/she/it wants. Isn’t going to impact on my views; nor, I suspect, on that of many others.
