The Commission for Countering Extremism has it entirely backwards. The individuals and groups they smear as “far right” for the most part only speak about Islam because of the aspects of Islamic teaching that call for violence against unbelievers and the systematic oppression of women. But the British government is avid to demonize and destroy those whom it gives the label “far right.” It is much more concerned about them than about Islamic jihad terrorists. And so it will have less of the one, and more of the other, and then where will it be?
“Far right poses as protectors of women to target Muslims, official extremism report finds,” by Lizzie Dearden, Independent, October 7, 2019 (thanks to Henry):
Far-right activists are exploiting concerns about the safety of women and children to target Muslims and ethnic minorities, an official report has found.
The Commission for Countering Extremism said some groups “deliberately distort the truth to persuade their audience to adopt discriminatory and hateful attitudes”.
The government agency’s first major report, seen exclusively ahead of its release by The Independent, warned that the tactic was drawing in white communities who would not normally support the far right, and worsening social division.
As part of research into all forms of extremism across Britain, the commission examined a series of protests sparked after a woman claimed she was gang raped by Middle Eastern migrants in Sunderland.
The report said prominent far-right figures including Tommy Robinson, Jayda Fransen and former Ukip leadership candidate Anne Marie Waters used rallies in 2016 and 2017 to “spread anti-minority and anti-Muslim agendas”.
“The marchers said they aimed to improve the safety of women and children locally,” the report said.
“However, their rhetoric targeted ethnic minorities, despite nearly 85 per cent of people convicted of sexual offences in 2018 in the Northumbria Police force area being white.”
Robinson started an online petition with more than 100,000 signatures, and funded a large advertising board and legal support for the complainant via online donations.
Emails were sent to Robinson’s supporters calling for them to join angry “justice” demonstrations that drew 1,000-strong crowds, including an email that was screengrabbed by the Finsbury Park terrorist Darren Osborne.
Local councillors said a string of 13 marches in as many months “whipped up anti-minority feeling” and were linked to a series of hate crimes including a violent attack on Asian men, vandalism and racist graffiti in the area.
The Commission for Countering Extremism said: “Many protesters were not motivated by hate; they had concerns about their safety and the safety of those in the community.
“Far-right agitators exploited these local grievances. Members of the movement had links to banned group National Action. The shared belief of these figures and groups was their antipathy towards minorities, immigrants and particularly Muslims.”
A similar pattern has been seen with the use of grooming gangs as a major far-right recruiting tool, which sees extremists characterise the abuse as committed solely by Muslims….

weird, far/alt right was coined after 2016 election…in its current euphemism
Dry Academy says
Wrong. Richard Spencer launched his “Alternative Right” website in 2010. Paleocon Paul Gottfried used the term even earlier.

Calling everyone to the right of Stalin “far right” is a quite recent phenomenon. That you can be for women’s rights and gay rights and just not want to see people raped now makes you “far right” is utter insanity.
mortimer says
Yes, GI, … but Stalin called Trotsky and his followers ‘fascists’ in the 1920s.

Quite true, Mortimer.
mortimer says
This is more class warfare in Britain … the outright CENSORSHIP OF THE WORKING CLASS disguised as anti-racism. This time, the smug office-chair crowd that never worked a day in a factory or on a farm or on a construction site is ordering the working class to “OBEY US OR ELSE”.
They know best what’s good for ‘uneducated’ people who provide all their food, buildings, roads and other infrastructure. The people in secondary industry are also producing most of Britain’s wealth, but who cares?
THEY MUST BE CONTROLLED by the VANGUARD OF THE PROLETARIAT since they are ‘ignorant’ of what the office-chair thinks is the GRAND UTOPIAN FUTURE.
It’s the snobbery of neo-Marxists who don’t know what real ‘labor’ is. It’s a CLASS WARFARE against the WORKING CLASS !!!
gravenimage says
That’s part of it, certainly, Mortimer. But there are also well educated people who are savvy about Islam who are in the same boat.
mortimer says
The victims of Islamic ideology at the BOTTOM of the class structure in Britain are being SILENCED.

COMMENTS ABOUT THE THREAT OF ISLAMISM …
Actor Rowan Atkinson (aka Mr Bean)
“What is wrong with inciting intense dislike of a religion if the activities or teachings of that religion are so outrageous, irrational or abusive of human rights that it deserves to be intensely disliked?”
– Rowan Atkinson before House of Lords
Posted by ‘Atheist’
“I think nothing at all is wrong inciting intense dislike of a religion when that religion becomes abusive of human rights. Once a religion starts abusing human rights through its teachings or otherwise it must be stopped, we can’t afford to let any religion take away our basic rights. The moment any religion does, its actions begin to fall out of the field of protection afforded by any bill of rights including freedom of religion, as they in fact become a threat to the rights of others, and the belief that this is permissible or allowable must be irradicated.”
mortimer says
Robert Spencer is correct: “The Commission for Countering Extremism has it entirely backwards.”
The Commission should look into the official, ‘essential’, compulsory Islamic teaching of HATRED DIRECTED BY MUSLIMS against the dirty, non-Muslim KUFAAR ‘for the sake of Allah’.
Islam has an actual, highly discriminatory DOCTRINE OF HATE called Al Walaa wal Baraa (‘comradeship’ with Muslims versus ‘apartheid’ from non-Muslim kafirs … note: ‘baraa’ means ‘cleansing’ as in ethnic cleansing … ‘baraa’ is a synonym of ‘apartheid’).
See: http://westindanger.com/wb/walaa-baraa.html
Al Walaa wal Baraa is an ‘ESSENTIAL’ teaching (usul ud-deen), meaning that all Muslims must believe and practice al Walaa wal Baraa as a condition of admission to Islamic paradise.
Al Walaa wal Baraa is a highly developed, well-supported and canonical part of Islam approved by the consensus of Islamic jurists, rather than an aberration.
COMMISSIONERS ! LOOK INTO “AL WALAA WAL BARAA”. Do it.
Barbara says
Thanks so much for that info!

MESSAGE TO THE COMMISSIONERS: Kindly read the following and ask if Islam has true MISOGYNY PROBLEM?
The hadiths of Mohammed that insult and degrade all women. The following are the words of Mohammed:
– I think that women were created for nothing but evil
– Women have ten ‘awrat (vulvas). When she gets married, the husband covers one, and when she dies the grave covers the ten (of her shameful parts)
– A straw mat in the corner of the house is preferable to a barren woman
– Women are toys, so choose (your ‘toys’)
– The woman is a toy, whoever takes her, let him care for her [or do not lose her]
– Had it not been for women, God would have truly, truly been worshipped
– Men perished the day they obeyed the women
– Obedience to a woman’s advice causes regret
– Consult women and act contrary (to it)
– Sneezing, drowsing, yawning in prayer, also menstruation, vomiting and nose-bleeding are from Satan
– When…your affairs are in the hands of your women, the interior of the earth (hell) will be the better for you than its surface
– If a woman offered one of her breasts to be cooked and the other to be roasted, she still will fall short of fulfilling her obligations to her husband. And besides that if she disobeys her husband even for a twinkling of an eye, she would be thrown in the lowest part of Hell, except she repents and turns back
– Mohammed asked some women, “Isn’t the witness of a woman equal to half that of a man?” The women said, “Yes,” He said, “This is because of the deficiency of the woman’s mind.”
– I have not seen any one more deficient in intelligence and religion than you (women)
– I was shown the Hell-fire and that the majority of its dwellers are women.
– Bad omen is in the woman, the house and the horse
– After me I have not left any affliction more harmful to men than women
– Don’t wear false hair for Allah sends His curse upon such ladies who lengthen their hair artificially
– Treat women well for they are like domestic animals and they possess nothing themselves. Allah has made the enjoyment of their bodies lawful in his Qur’an
– Women, slaves and camels are the same
– Prayer is annulled by a dog, a donkey and a woman
– “Women are like cows, horses, and camels, for all are ridden,” is in fact recorded in Tafsir al-Qurtubi (see vol. 17, p. 172)
– If you relax the woman’s bridle a tiny bit, she will take you and bolt wildly. And if you lower her cheek-piece a hand span, she will pull you an arm’s length … Their deception is awesome and their wickedness is contagious; bad character and feeble mind are their predominant traits
– “[A man’s wife] fears him, while he fears her not, a kind word from him satisfies her, where nothing of hers has importance in his eyes, it is she who must tolerate the presence of concubines, and it is she who worries when he is ill whereas even her death would leave him indifferent
– If a man calls his wife to his bed and she refuses, and he spends the night angry with her, the angels curse her until morning
– Treat women well, for they are [like] domestic animals [awan] with you and do not possess anything for themselves. You have taken them only as a trust from God and you have made the enjoyment of their persons lawful by the word of God, so understand and listen to my words…
– Muhammad’s last words on women during his farewell speech:
– God allows you to put them in separate rooms and to beat them but not with severity. If they refrain from these things they have the right to their food and clothing with kindness. Lay injunctions on women kindly, for they are prisoners with you having no control of their persons. (Sirat Rasul Allah. Translated in English by A. Guillaume. First published by Oxford University Press, London in 1955)
Agostino Armo Pellegrini says
Thanks Mortimer. Your post is the side of islam the left wants to ignore. Islam’s hate-filled, misogynist doctrines are the core reason, I believe, why islam is notorious for human rights abuses. We aren’t “exploiting” anything here, we are only reporting the facts concerning islam’s violence, the bigotry, the rape gangs, the conquering enclaves, the homophobia, the misogyny, and the antisemitism that is destroying the world’s peace and good relations. The left are the ones doing all the exploiting, by using the fact that most muslims are brown skinned people and accusing us of being racist. In truth they are the racists for turning this into a race issue when in reality it’s a matter of human rights and national defense. We care about our culture, our heritage, and our safety, against islam, while the left cares only about appeasing muslims and gaining votes and power. I see this in practically everything they do and say concerning islam. They have no backbone for their own nations, no pride and concern for good morals and doing the right thing for freedom and equality. They rank low on the scale of human decency to me. I know the difference between what’s right and wrong, and islam is definitely wrong for any nation desiring peace, freedom, and equality. It’s really that simple.

If the gov and police protected vunarable children and woman against the threat that is real . Then the so called far right would not excist
Angemon says
I mentioned something along these lines a couple or so of weeks ago – how, in the wake f the Cologne mass sexual assaults during New Year’s Eve in 2016, a British “feminist” was quick to state that men didn’t really care about the women assaulted – they just pretended to care in order to target an ethnic minority. Sad that what I pointed out as ridiculous is now the official party line in Britain… In any case, so what if that were the case? Should the people being tarred as “far-right” say nothing and abandon women to their fate? Is any grooming gang dismantled, its members put behind bars, its victims getting justice and support something shameful because of alleged second intentions from the people fighting to do so?
James Lincoln says
The Commission for Countering Extremism’s report said:
“ prominent far-right figures including Tommy Robinson, Jayda Fransen and former Ukip leadership candidate Anne Marie Waters…”
The named individuals are “far-right” only as defined by current UK leftists. A few decades ago, they would have been described as being loyal citizens – and proud of their country.
Agostino Armo Pellegrini says

So true. But like a crafty jinn that has escaped from its bottle, islam has bewitched the left into thinking
muslims mean us no harm. Despite the fact that muslims have been and will continue to undermine our laws and freedoms for islam, spread terror, and ultimately destroy our nation(s). This is the direction we’re headed, the left is obsessed with the multicultural ideal with people that eschew multiculturalism for a demon creed invented by a 7th century rogue and warlord. The battle lines are clearly drawn in my mind, there’s no grey area or grounds for contentious debate. Islam is dead wrong for our people and nation(s), that makes the left bold traitors in my mind, and we should take every legal means to remove them from power as a matter of national security and patriotic duty. If we don’t our only recourse will be civil war throughout the West. I only hope I’m still alive to participate.

UK: Official report claims “far right” only speaks out against oppression of women to target Muslims
……………..
Right–it’s not as though we care about FGM, child “marriage”, rape, sex slavery, wife beating, or “Honor Killing”–instead, we all just want to make Muslims look bad, for some inexplicable reason…
Do they even listen to themselves?
Giacomo Latta says
Yes, there is no one in our (non-muslim) lives that we could possibly love enough that we would not want them to be raped, enslaved by a muslim, beaten by a spouse or killed for choosing their own circle of friends. Obviously there is no respect for us at any level.
gravenimage says
Yes–this from the UK is appalling calumny.
Lydia Church says
Okay, this edit will help put things in perspective:
“Far-right activists are exploiting concerns about the safety of Jews to target Nazi’s and Gestapo officials, an official report has found.
The Commission for Countering Extremism said some groups “deliberately distort the truth to persuade their audience to adopt discriminatory and hateful attitudes against Aryans and those who identify as Nazi’s”.
The government agency’s first major report, seen exclusively ahead of its release by “The Furher,” warned that the tactic was drawing in non-white communities who would not normally support the far right against the far left, and worsening social division.
As part of research into all forms of extremism across Europe, the commission examined a series of protests sparked after a Jewish woman claimed she was attacked by Nazi officials in Berlin.
The report said prominent far-right figures including Martin Niemoller, Dietrich Bonhoffer, and former victim in Holland Anne Frank’s Diary, used rallies to “spread anti-Nazi and anti-Holocaust agendas”.
“The marchers said they aimed to improve the safety of Jews locally,” the report said.
“However, their rhetoric targeted Nazi officials, despite nearly 85 per cent of people convicted of violence against Jews in 1943 in the Bavarian Gestapo jurisdiction area being white.” (Yes, Nazi’s and muslims can both be white. Surprise!)
Niemoller started an underground resistance protest with more than 100,000 members, and funded a large advertising board and legal support for the victims of the Holocaust via anonymous donations.
Letters were sent to Niemoller’s supporters calling for them to join protests and angry “justice” demonstrations that drew 1,000-strong crowds, including a letter that was copied by Propaganda Minister Goebbels for investigation.
Local councillors said a string of 13 marches in as many months “whipped up anti-Nazi feeling” and were linked to a series of hate crimes including a violent attack on Aryan men, vandalism and anti-racist graffiti in the area.
The Commission for Countering Extremism said: “Many protesters were not motivated by hate; they had concerns about their safety and the safety of those in the Jewish community.
“Far-right agitators exploited these local grievances. Members of the movement had links to banned group Anti-Nazi Action. The shared belief of these figures and groups was their antipathy towards Nazi’s, Gestapo officials, and particularly Holocaust overseeing Gestapo officials.”
A similar pattern has been seen with the use of grooming protesters as a major far-right recruiting tool, which sees extremists characterise the abuse as committed solely by Nazi’s…. ”
Truth is stranger than fiction!
Compare these two versions and you’ll see how far along we have come in the new ‘climate’…
AntiIslamicman says
I am from the U.K. and I have no idea who this far right is that the media are talking about. For me the far right is Islam based on their teachings. The grand Mufti of Jerusalem sat with Hitler because they both hated Jews. Hitler was far right, so Islam also has to be far right otherwise how could these 2 people sit talk and agree with each other. Don’t listen. To the MSM they tell lies for a living.
