Why are Sharia and Islam beyond criticism? What if Boris Johnson had poked fun at Christian practices? Would he be the subject of a taxpayer-funded report demonizing him then? Is there no one in shattered, staggering, dhimmi Britain who will speak out against and work to end this society-wide suicidal madness?
“British taxpayers’ cash is spent by the EU to fund a ‘ridiculous’ report branding Boris Johnson as a central figure in Islamophobia alongside EDL co-founder Tommy Robinson,” by Abul Taher, The Mail On Sunday, November 2, 2019:
British taxpayers’ cash has been used by the European Union to fund a ‘ludicrous’ report branding Boris Johnson as a central figure in Islamophobia.
Brussels gave £109,000 for the study to a think-tank in Turkey, even though the country is outside the EU. The review placed Mr Johnson alongside far-Right leader Tommy Robinson as ‘central figures in Britain’s Islamophobia network’.
European Islamophobia Report 2018 was published by the Foundation for Political, Economic and Social Research, or SETA Foundation, which is linked to Turkish President Erdogan’s Islamist government.
The preface cites Mr Johnson’s suggestion that women who wear the burka look like ‘letterboxes’ or ‘bank robbers’ as one of a number of ‘Islamophobic statements by politicians’ in Europe.
Mr Johnson made the comparison in an article last year defending women’s right to wear the burka, but many Muslims have said they found it offensive.
The SETA report contains papers on anti-Muslim sentiments in 34 European countries. The chapter on the UK was written by Aristotle Kallis, a professor of history at Keele University.
In a sub-section entitled Central Figures In The Islamophobia Network, he said Mr Johnson’s article on the burka promoted and normalised Islamophobia.
Last year Mr Johnson was singled out for a special mention for his burka comments in an ironic ‘award for Islamophobia’ given by the British-based Islamic Human Rights Commission to the Tory party….

Good one Phil. The UK doesn’t need any interference from the EU. There is already enough from the British opposition parties.

What a laughable assertion, and what a waste of UK taxpayers’ money.
Moshe says
The EU leadership is in essence honoring the legacy of former U.S. President Barack Obama, who–during his first presidential to an American mosque in February, 2016–shared with fellow Americans and with the world a message of religious tolerance and unity. In particular, he called for all Americans and indeed all citizens of the world to overcome long-standing anti-Muslim prejudice.
“An attack on one faith is an attack on all our faiths,” President Obama observed during his historic visit to the Islamic Society of Baltimore.
The EU leadership in Brussels, through its support of a think-tank in Turkey, is seeking to affirm President Obama’s principled stance that “we have to be consistent in condemning hateful rhetoric … none of us can be bystanders to bigotry.” Free speech is not hate speech. Hate speech is not free, even satire regarding clothing styles favored by Sharia.
Importantly, to regain the trust of the EU leadership, UK PM Boris Johnson would need as soon as possible to heed President Obama’s overarching moral commitment: to oppose violent extremism and workplace violence (whether by ISIL, the KKK or any other terror groups). PM Johnson is likely to do so in the coming weeks in pragmatic recognition of voting blocks in the UK.
Let us recall that President Obama recognized a key fact: that legacy communities in Great Britain and in the United States have received a “hugely distorted impression” of the Islamic faith. This is the fundamental reason why the EU funded a Turkish report: with the best of intentions, they seek to hold PM Johnson to Obama’s high moral standards as a win-win outcome in an era of social justice and diversity.
gravenimage says
Yet more tedious trolling from “Moshe”–as if refusing to call out the horrors of Islam represents a “high moral standard”. *Ugh*.
mortimer says
‘Moshe’ is either ignorant of Islamic teachings or he is intentionally lying about them. Obama was intentionally lying about Islam while pretending to believe in the whitewashed version of Islam. I doubt ‘Moshe’ is ignorant of Islam’s malignant hatred of the kafir.
Moshe is thus a deeply amoral person who has no conscience when he deceives people about the jihad doctrine.
Robert Spencer and well-informed counter-jihadists have read the primary Islamic source texts as well as the canonical commentaries and comments of Islam’s top and leading authorities. There is no question that Islam has 1) a doctrine of hatred directed against kafirs called ‘Al Walaa wal Baraa’ and 2) a doctrine of bigoted warfare against disbelievers called ‘Jihad and Hegira’.
To deny those doctrines are authentically Islamic is deeply amoral, ‘Moshe’.
Phil Copson says
You might be missing something here – I always read Moshe’s contributions as being an excellent example of having a droll sense of humour.
(And it is of course important to respect other’s cultural differences – for instance although we in the West are long past concerning ourselves with such things, evidently Iraq’s Ba’ath Separatists continue to hold strong views on mixed bathing….?)
gravenimage says
“Moshe* might be sarcastic–or he might be serious. He also may be a garden-variety troll, just hoping to get a rise out of Anti-Jihadists. In any case, I find his shtick terribly tedious at this point.
mortimer says
‘Moshe’ claims there is a ‘hugely distorted impression’ of Islam. Only the whitewashed impression of Islam you are spreading, ‘Moshe’.
“The radical Islamism that has been loosed in Syria and Iraq (ISIS) is not a deviation or a perversion of an alleged true Islam, whose orientation is purely spiritual and religious. Indeed, it is the most traditional form of Islam.” – Fr. Henri Boulad SJ.
John says
Load of Shit, the Barbaric Totalitarian Ideology of islam refuses to recognize any other religion or Political movement and islam HATES the TRUTH to be Known about it so it begins a media led Bullshit parade about Hate Speech when the speech is the Truth and islam HATES IT. The Pretentious Bigoted Fascists are islamic Followers and it’s advocates . Islam is not a religion, but a complete barbaric civilization. Islam has a position or rule for every aspect of life. It is a religion, culture and political system, a complete way of life. If Islam were only a religion, it would be of no concern. As an example, Buddhism is a religion, how much media and political space is concerned about Buddhism? Buddhism makes no demands on a civilization. Islam makes demands on every facet of society.
Totalitarianism is a political system of absolute power where the state has no limit to its authority and regulates most aspects of public and private life. There are no competing political parties since they would balance and limit authority. The critical element of totalitarianism is absolute power striving to rule in as many areas of life as possible.
Totalitarianism in Islamic Doctrine
Totalitarianism is found in the very name, Islam. Islam means submission, submission to the Koran and the Sunna of Mohammed. We see the basis for absolute power in Mohammed’s life. After he went to Medina, he became a jihadist and attacked his neighbors. When he arrived in Medina, it was half Jewish. In two years, there were no more Jews left in Medina. They were exiled, assassinated, enslaved and executed. Mohammed attacked the pagans of Arabia and the Jews. After Arabia submitted to Islam, Mohammed turned to Syria and attacked the Christians.
In the end, Political Islam will not tolerate opposition. After Mohammed died, Abu Bakr, his closest companion, became caliph. His first order was to attack and crush the Muslims who wanted to leave Islam. Everyone must submit to Islam and once a Muslim, you must remain a Muslim, or you can be punished.
The next companion of Mohammed who became caliph was Umar. His ten year rule was spent in jihad conquest of the Christian and Zoroastrian Kafirs.
Turkey used to be called Anatolia or Asia Minor and was a Christian civilization. Today Turkey is over 95% Muslim. North Africa, Egypt, Iraq, Syria and Lebanon used to be Christian. Afghanistan was Buddhist; Pakistan and Malaysia used to be Hindu. Today they are more than 95% Muslim. Islam does not reach a balance point with the native civilization; it dominates and annihilates the indigenous culture over time.
This process of total civilizational domination is the Law of Islamic Saturation. The doctrine calls for jihad to never cease until the native population submits to the Sharia. As time goes on, the Sharia brings about submission to Islam. The doctrine is totalitarian, so the result is totalitarian.
Islam is the most successful totalitarian system in history. There are post-Communist societies and post-Nazi societies but, there are no post Islamic societies.
Allah originated in polytheism and long before Islam ever arose. Mohammed was born in 570 and began preaching about his new religion of Islam (with Allah as its god) around 610. He gained 150 converts in his first 13 years of evangelism in Mecca and then went to Medina where he pursued physical, or combat, jihad while acquiring 100,000 converts up until his death in 632 A.D. using the name of Allah. However, the god name Allah had existed several centuries before Mohammed co-opted it as the god of Islam. Allah was a truncated form of Al-Ilah, one of the 360 pagan deities worshipped by the nomadic pagan and polytheistic Arabs at the Kaaba in Mecca before, during, and after the time of Christ.Mohammed’s father was also named Abdullah (meaning “slave of Allah”.) A tribe of Jews was called Abdullah bin Salam in the Bukhari Hadith. islam is nothing but partly stolen from the bible adding arab names to convince arabs.
David says
Thanks, very informative.
Christopher Watson says
What bollocks!
David says
Moshe, people are seriously misreading your comments. They don’t get your humour, clearly. I had heard that Americans don’t do irony.
“An attack on one faith is an attack on all our faiths,” President Obama observed during his historic visit to the Islamic Society of Baltimore.’That reminds me of K5:32 ‘Kill one man and you kill all men’. Don’t mention Verse 33!
‘The EU leadership in Brussels, through its support of a think-tank in Turkey, is seeking to affirm President Obama’s principled stance that “we have to be consistent in condemning hateful rhetoric … none of us can be bystanders to bigotry.” ‘ For a minute, I thought Obama Sin-Laden was talking about Islam: ‘ we have to be consistent in condemning hateful rhetoric (Koran) … none of us can be bystanders to bigotry.’ (Islam)
gravenimage says
Was Obama being ironic as well?
Angemon says
“Let us recall that President Obama recognized a key fact: that legacy communities in Great Britain and in the United States have received a “hugely distorted impression” of the Islamic faith.”
Did he explain what they were or how they were “distorted”?…

“British-based Islamic Human Rights Commission “:. Beyond Belief, islam gives no one else “Human Rights” as sharia has none but they expect to be given Western Value Human Rights. Go jump off a Cliff and meet your maker in Hell the Lot of you moslems FILTH.
Jayell says
I think the issue here might be partly to do with Bojo saying that ‘Islam is the problem in the UK’ about 10-20 or so years ago. Well, he was right then, and he’d be even more right now. He also gives the impression of standing up for UK independence and traditional UK values and identity, which. of course, are directly opposed to both the EU and islam (which, as we all know, stands for everything that the UK DOESN’T stand for). So it’s hardly surprising the the insanely islamomanic EU will try this load of rubbish on.
AntiIslamicman says
No such thing as Islamophobia
David says
I prefer the term: IslamIiloathia. That has a nice lilt. Very descriptive.
Aussie Infidel says
This situation would be laughable if it wasn’t so serious. What a waste of taxpayers’ money!
Did this Turkish think-tank consider that remarks by Boris Johnson and Tommy Robinson against Islam might actually be true? Of course not! Those militant Muslims know very well what is their holy scriptures. Muslims always complain about criticism by Westerners, but never mention that their Quran is the most racist holy book ever written, whose tenets continually incite violence against non-Muslims.
The Islamic Human Rights Commission and their think-tank lackies are simply propaganda arms of Islam. Rather than signing the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the Islamic States drafted their own iniquitous Cairo Declaration of Human Rights in Islam – which denies rights to anyone who is not a Muslim. But what else could we expect from a bunch of Mohammedan thugs whose so-called religion sanctifies lying and deception in the cause of Allah.
When Muslims purge all the racist, violent, hateful tenets from their holy scriptures, the rest of the world will accept them. But until they do that, those who know what their religion stands for, will continue to detest them – and they will be confronted by more and more ‘Islamophobia’.
I hope Johnson wins the next UK election and gets Britain out of the EU, which has become a Socialist/Islamic cesspool.

That image brings to mind, “big-boned and fey.” He ought to consider the implications of his appearance, for the good of us all. (reference: Joanna Newsom, “Sprout and the Bean”)
gravenimage says
I don’t much care whether Boris Johnson is a fashion plate or not, or even if he combs his hair. Whether he acts to protect his people against Jihad is more important.
David says
‘Mr Johnson made the comparison in an article last year defending women’s right to wear the burka, but many Muslims have said they found it offensive.’ Well jolly good!. A lot of decent people find Islam offensive, so there!
This report might bring out the whole thing for public debate. Good boost for Tommy, being linked to Boris. I hope Boris takes up the challenge, but it is a tricky time with a General Election just round the corner.

This should increase his popularity!

Last year Mr Johnson was singled out for … an ironic ‘award for Islamophobia’ given by the British-based Islamic Human Rights Commission …

what was ironic? an “islamophobia award,” or the “Islamic Human Rights Commission?”
Tom says
Enough !!!! Of the hurt feelings by Muslims. It is about time that the west stood up and said if you don’t like what is said about you then either change to integrate further or leave and relocate in a country more aligned with your feelings.
To politicians of the west STOP with the appeasement and grow a backbone.
libertyORdeath says
Exactly what is unclear about sharia police, taxpayer funded “Islamophobia” reports and “hate speech” prosecutions based on Islamic blasphemy laws? The good people of the U.K. are being totally outmaneuvered by the civilization jihadists hoping for a slow and steady metamorphosis of the entire culture. If we in the U.S. and our British brothers aan sisters do nothing to stop this it will be our children who will pay the price.
