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

UK cops encourage Muslim women to report hate crimes

Oct 16, 2019 5:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Superintendent Andy Bennett of the Avon and Somerset Police’s hate crime unit said that there is “still a substantial gap between reported and unreported crime and in some crime categories it can be as much as 50%.”

How does Bennett know that there is a “substantial gap between reported and unreported crime”? For him to know that, “hate crimes” would have to be reported, and then they wouldn’t be unreported. But logic can get lost: the police in shattered, staggering, dhimmi Britain want more “Islamophobic” “hate crimes,” so as to justify the massive resources they are devoting to tracking these crimes.

However, given the astonishing frequency of “anti-Muslim hate crimes” that turn out to have been faked by Muslims, Bennett is likely to get just that: more fakery. Becoming a victim in today’s absurd society brings praise, honor, and monetary rewards, and when such “hate crimes” are exposed as fake, no one cares, so there’s no downside to this fakery. One of the chief advocacy groups claiming that Muslims are being victimized on a large scale in Britain, Tell Mama UK, was exposed years ago as fudging its reports of a wave of “anti-Muslim hate crime” by adding in rude words on the Internet and the like, but it is still a respected organization in the UK, which is, of course, finished.

“Police encourage Muslim women to report hate crime,” BBC, October 14, 2019 (thanks to Lookmann):

Some Muslim women suffer hate crime on an almost daily basis and police must make them aware they do not need to accept it, an officer has said.

Avon and Somerset Police said three-quarters of recorded hate crimes towards women in the past two years in Bristol were anti-Muslim.

Supt Andy Bennett said: “It is a crime and you don’t have to put up with it”.

Aaliyah Hussain, founder of campaigning organisation We Rise, said “all women face barriers” when reporting crime.

Supt Bennett and Ms Hussain said some victims got so used to being abused they treated it as normal, racial harassment tended to be carried out by young white men and that some people assumed Muslim women would not be allowed by men to report crimes.

Supt Bennett, Avon and Somerset Police’s hate crime lead, said: “Islamic women in particular are suffering, often almost daily, verbal harassment and persistent name calling and intimidation – and this is the area where we really want to smash it.

“They are normalising this behaviour because it’s part of their everyday life and I want to say ‘the police absolutely don’t want you to put up with this behaviour’.”

Ms Hussain, from We Rise, which aims to empower Muslim women, said: “Sometimes there’s a tendency to treat Muslim women differently than women in general when it comes to issues such as not reporting crime.

“The assumption made by many authorities is that Muslim women are under the control of men and therefore aren’t able to report crimes, when actually if you look at the wider statistics relating to all gender-based violence such as sexual harassment, rape, domestic violence – you can see that the reporting rates are very low.”

Supt Bennett said, based on results from The British Crime Survey, police knew there was “still a substantial gap between reported and unreported crime and in some crime categories it can be as much as 50%”.

“The survey unsurprisingly shows even higher levels of under-reporting for hate crime. Every time I talk to Muslim groups, I can never find anybody who hasn’t suffered from some form of hate crime and therefore my gut tells me that under-reporting is probably off the charts,” he said….

    And do the police also encourage them to report “beatings” by male relatives, or would that be interfering in what is strictly an Islamic affair?

    • mortimer says

      Oct 17, 2019 at 2:46 am

      Yes … very selective. It isn’t a crime when Muslim men do it. It’s Sharia law. The police will decide when a crime MIGHT occur because they can read what a man is thinking.

      Everyone will end up avoiding all contact with Muslims and there will be complete segregation as a result of this hysteria.

      And what about honor killings….are they reported? WHAT ABOUT HONOR KILLINGS???????

    The UK police are imposing the DHIMMI CONTRACT in UK. This is insane.

    Why should Muslims have superior rights to others? Why is the business of police whether or not people are polite to each other, deferential or have what is called ‘good manners’.

    ‘Good manners’ is not really what Muslims expect from the kafir. The kafir must be subservient to Muslims at all times. Anything that displeases Muslims can be turned into a hate crime as we have seen, no matter how small the micro-aggression … it might even be an inadvertence or a misunderstanding. One man was actually rejected for employment when he offered to buy breakfast bacon sandwiches for his colleagues as an opening to his new job.

    In the past a ‘real’ crime was required for an arrest. Verbal disagreements or hurt feelings or perceived slights should not be cause for an arrest.

    The result of Andy Bennett’s work in microaggression a breakdown in social harmony … the very REVERSE of what he was sent to do. Consequently, a smart person will always avoid speaking to a Muslim and stay as far away from Muslims as possible. This actually encourages a de facto apartheid between Muslims and kafirs.

      Since the muslim/kafir social contract is based on institutionalised disrespect (from muslims) then some kind of de facto apartheid is preferable to the consistent one-way abuse that would have to be otherwise tolerated (e.g., the grooming gangs). In any case, they have been claiming their own territory and ethnically-cleansing unbelievers for decades now. I’m also very dubious about ‘hate crime’ that muslims claim to suffer – it’s highly likely to be no more nor less than projections of their own hate-creed.

      It is mainly due to Theresa May’s warped view of the world and desire to placate Muslims at all costs that this hate crime nonsense has been enshrined in what used to be a well respected legal system
      The senior Police have been subjected to the Common Purpose programme – a sinister training and indoctrination system which preaches cultural Marxism under the disguise of “training to lead”.
      Theresa May was a great advocate of this appalling brainwashing – most of our public services are now infected with this rubbish.

    And the victims of the grooming gangs went totally ignored…….
    Strange place, the UK

    Aaliyah Hussain, founder of campaigning organisation We Rise, said “all women face barriers” when reporting crime.

    *******

    Does that include all the tens of thousands of UK, non Muslim, under age children, groomed, trafficked and raped by vey mostly Muslim Pakistani men?!?!?!

    Where was your concern then!

    • Jayell says

      Oct 17, 2019 at 6:23 am

      The abused children weren’t muslim so they don’t count.

  6. somehistory says

    Oct 16, 2019 at 8:06 pm

    They should be encouraged to report the “hate crimes” their own husbands, fathers, brothers, uncles, sons, and others in their local “moslim communities and no-go zones” commit against them.

    The name-calling, the harassment, the beatings, that their moslim relatives do should be first reported.

    And since they are encouraging “women” to report “hate crimes,” they should look at the hate directed at the non-moslim females by moslims and then prosecute the rapes and attacks.

    How many of the police officers are moslim? The U.K. is just another moslim ruled country.

    Let’s tell Andy how we feel about all the muslim child-rape gangs that are running around in his own back yard: https://twitter.com/abennett_police?lang=en

    • mortimer says

      Oct 17, 2019 at 2:48 am

      No one will talk to them because of the hysteria of reporting all conversations.

      They have made rudeness or bad manners a crime.

  9. Max Brenner says

    Oct 17, 2019 at 3:23 am

    I don’t suppose they are encouraging them to report the hate crimes done against them by other Muslims?
    Yeah.
    That’s what I thought.

    Brilliant photo/picture . The facial expression of this police officer……..reminds me of someone I know : An alcoholic for forty years , and suffering from Korsakoff’s syndrome . Sheer stupidness…

    If they d that over 70% of Muslim husbands would be banged up!! Here’s one though, what about Muslims with MORE than one wife? Thought Polygamy was illegal in the WEST? It’s banned for every other male.

  12. No Muzzies Here says

    Oct 17, 2019 at 9:00 am

    Should read: “Police encourage Muslim women to make up hate crimes, report them, and get infinite undeserved sympathy.”

    The same UK Cops who ignored 1400 schoolgirls in Rotherham’s claims of Gang Rape by “Asian Gangs”?

    What is left of our police “service” (not “force) has been politically corrected like every other institution since the bastard grandchild of the US New Left known as the Equality Act was introduced and incrementally enforced in Britain. It is a lot easier to sit in one of our remaining police stations searching the internet for hate speech, or dancing in the streets with leftist demonstrators, than looking for burglars, patrolling the streets on foot, searching youths of color for blades, arresting cannabis smokers.

    Do they really think Muslim women are not reporting every little grievance they have?

  17. Marigold says

    Years ago I read a book which argued how the British police force was riddled with Freemasonry who are known to want a One World Government through the United Nations.Therefore they will do anything to destabilise the UK to make that possibility appear attractive.Brexit must have been a big shock.

    • David Ashton says

      Nov 4, 2019 at 3:21 pm

      The police is riddled with masonry but in Britain it is different from Grand Orient. The real problem is the ideology of “equality, diversity, inclusion” imposed on our society through the Equality Act and the education curricula.

      However, Robert Spencer, the UK is NOT “finished” yet.

    Some Muslim women suffer hate crime on an almost daily basis and police must make them aware they do not need to accept it, an officer has said.

    Yeah, it’s called “divinely ordained domestic violence”…
