UK: Conservative Party suspends councillor for questioning Islamic supremacism and Sharia

Nov 16, 2019 1:00 pm By Robert Spencer

“The dossier reveals that Cllr Griffiths posted an article on Facebook in 2017 claiming German Muslims had campaigned to end the Oktoberfest beer festival, because it was ‘un-Islamic.'”

Well, did such a campaign occur or did it not? If it did, why is it forbidden to speak about it?

“Cllr Griffiths then liked a comment posted on the post which said: ‘They can go back to where they came from. Try going to a Muslim country and ask them to stop Muslim traditions because it offends incoming Christians. How outrageous is sharia behaviour.’”

So it’s wrong to object to Muslims insisting that non-Muslims conform to Muslim sensibilities in the West?

“In another offensive post in 2017, Cllr Griffiths used a quote which suggested inbreeding is disproportionately high amongst the Muslim population.”

But it is. It cannot be spoken about?

Britain is finished.

“Tory councillor and local party chair suspended after Islamophobia row,” by James Cain, Teesside Live, November 14, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

The chairman of the South Tees Conservative Association has been suspended from the party in an Islamophobia row.

Councillor Malcolm Griffiths, who represents Hutton on Redcar and Cleveland Council, has been suspended amid claims he shared, commented on and liked Islamophobic content on his social media pages.

The posts in question came to light after a dossier which exposed 15 current and 10 former Tory councillors was forwarded to the Local Democracy Reporting Service.

The dossier reveals that Cllr Griffiths posted an article on Facebook in 2017 claiming German Muslims had campaigned to end the Oktoberfest beer festival, because it was “un-Islamic”.

Cllr Griffiths then liked a comment posted on the post which said: “They can go back to where they came from. Try going to a Muslim country and ask them to stop Muslim traditions because it offends incoming Christians. How outrageous is sharia behaviour.”

In another offensive post in 2017, Cllr Griffiths used a quote which suggested inbreeding is disproportionately high amongst the Muslim population.

Simon Clarke, the Conservative candidate for Middlesbrough South and East Cleveland, said: “While I cannot comment on an individual case while it is under investigation the Conservative Party takes all allegations of racism or Islamophobia extremely seriously.”

A Conservative party spokesperson said: “All those found to be party members have been suspended immediately, pending investigation.

“The swift action we take on not just anti-Muslim discrimination, but discrimination of any kind is testament to the seriousness with which we take such issues.

“The Conservative party will never stand by when it comes to prejudice and discrimination of any kind.

“That’s why we are already establishing the terms of an investigation to make sure that such instances are isolated and robust processes are in place to stamp them out as and when they occur.”…

    BY THE SAME TOKEN, the Tory party will also have to dump party leader BORIS JOHNSON who has stated some very stern objections to Sharia law himself.

    By comparison, suppose that someone had criticized the Nazis in ww II. What if someone said that was Germanophobia and equivalent to racism and should be silenced. Since most people in the Axis countries were not racist, homophobes, anti-Semitic, etc., then nothing about the Axis powers should be criticized. To do so would be equal to racism, thus Germanophobic. Is this not similar to what is happening today, where one can never criticize anything Islamic including jihad? Because most Muslims are not jihadis, then we have to say that no Muslims are jihadis?

      The Nazi party identified being German with being a Nazi. That was a lie.

        Indeed, a deadly lie, but “none dare call it treason”.

        Islam is treason against humanity, and this site exposes that deadly lie.

      But many did castigate those who warned about the Nazis as being hysterical or even “warmongers”, and praised Fascism as being “modern” before WWII. This is not the first time we have faced this kind of denial and calumny.

      Even if all Muslims were jihadis we should still not to be allowed by the rules of contemporary discourse to criticise them. That is the Neo-Marxism which has permeated our thinking in order to make us incapable of defending ourselves and our culture.

    Freedom of expression is NEARLY DEAD in the UK which claims to be the foundation of free speech.

    UK has had many proponents of free speech, to be sure, but the present leadership is NOT defending freedom of expression, but rather PERSECUTING IT.

    The UK badly needs a constitutional defense of free speech similar to the American First Amendment.

    The UK should not continue to depend on good will to protect freedom of expression.

    THE LEFTARDS WILL COMPLETELY KILL FREE EXPRESSION IF EVER THEY WIN A BIG MAJORITY IN PARLIAMENT.

    Britons, you have been warned!

      I don’t believe in not challenging speech obviously because I frequent this site, because the left are the experts on echo Chambers, however I can only agree and congratulate you on all of your points!!!

    • Peter Stephens says

      Actually the defense of Free Speech in the US is the 2nd Amendment. It also protects the 1st Amendment!

      The key problem is the Equalities Act and its impact on subsidiary legislation, police enforcement, education curricula, television presentation, civil liberties and civic courage.

      The UK state ideology “equality, diversity, inclusion” is the transatlantic grandchild of the US “race, gender, class” ideology of Herbert Marcuse & comrades.

    Councillor Griffiths mentioned that the Muslim community in UK is extremely inbred … that is POSITIVELY CORRECT … 30% of genetic defects in Britain come from 3% of the population of UK that is Muslim.

    REFERENCE: “Study shows rate of extreme inbreeding in the U.K. and possible health impacts of it”

    https://medicalxpress.com/news/2019-09-extreme-inbreeding-uk-health-impacts.html

    A team of researchers has found a way to gauge the rate of extreme inbreeding (EI) in the U.K. and its possible health repercussions. In their paper published in the journal Nature Communications, the group describes their study of data from the U.K. Biobank and what they found.

    In sifting through the data in the Biobank, the researchers looked at genetic information, specifically, for large runs of homozygosity—an indicator of close family ties between parents. They report that they found 125 cases of individuals who they believed were the product of inbreeding—a rate of one in 3,652. That number differs significantly from police incest reports, which show a rate of one in 5,247.

    MUSLIM MARRIAGES ARE BAD FOR THE CHILDREN’S HEALTH.

    • Lotus says

      Nov 16, 2019 at 5:17 pm

      Yes, inbreeding among the Pakistain community in Britain leads to many birth defects.

      Of course, all the necessary, long-term medical care for that falls on the British taxpayer.

        Some leftists regard hereditary disability as an entitlement to be celebrated, and with this additional “ethnic” category, Wow – let it rip! Corbyn’s “free” health service will take off any minor problems.

        As quoted in my recent review of a TV attack on eugenics (see The Quarterly Review, online) one leftwing loony wanted children to be born incurably deaf to sustain the “vibrant deaf culture”.

    The takeaway is that the UK is deep in the process of establishing Islamic supremacism and Sharia.

      Yeah, that’s the only party making any sense on this issue. Hope Tommy Robinson joins them. UKIP is pretty much dead, and Brexit Party is a fraud. Farage thinks that if he doesn’t oppose Muslims, they won’t oppose him. He’s as stupid as Tony Blair and Teresa May – not sure about Johnson

      • gravenimage says

        Nov 16, 2019 at 9:26 pm

        Boris Johnson has been better than most British politicians, but is still sadly completely inconsistent about Islam.

      • Phil Copson says

        Nov 17, 2019 at 5:06 am

        “…. Farage thinks that if he doesn’t oppose Muslims, they won’t oppose him. He’s as stupid as Tony Blair and Teresa May….”
        —————————————————————-
        No – he just knows that if he says anything about Islam, the media will whip up a storm against him – (again) – in their attempts to dissuade people from supporting Brexit, and a lifetime’s work of trying to get Britain out of the EU is put at risk.

        As Nigel Farage is not even a humble Member of Parliament – let alone in government – he is not in a position to enact any measures against anything.

        He is an “MEP” – a member of the European Parliament – this does not give him any position in UK politics.

        • Infidel says

          Nov 17, 2019 at 9:06 am

          Farage is not liked by the media anyway. However, instead of bucking the trend, he’s chosen to go soft on Islam, going so far as to split the UKIP to have a more Islam-friendly Brexit Party. It was a brilliant bit of branding – pity that Batten didn’t think of it first. And the reason? Tommy Robinson, who gave the party some credibility by advising Batten.

          I hate to say it, but I’m very pessimistic about the UK. Even if one hypothetically assumes that one day Tommy Robinson will become a major political force, by the time it happens, Islam would have established roots deeper into the UK. In fact, I’d argue that the UK is starting to look like Iran did at the start of the Samanid empire, which was the period when Iran started becoming a Muslim country.

          Which is why it disgusts me that people in this country look to the UK to be an inspiration for anything!!!

      Pakistanis account for 2% of births in the U.K. AND 30% of children with birth defects.

    Nov 16, 2019 at 2:19 pm

    Pro-tip for the tories: unless you out anti-semite the anti-semitic left you’re not going to win the green vote, and the red voters will not vote for you to begin with. For the swing voters, you’re not an alternative if you play by the rules of, and hold the same paradigms as, the opposing side. Just don’t go crying about the growth of the “extreme far-right” at your expenses because you were too inept to actually stand for something.

    “The swift action we take on not just anti-Muslim discrimination, but discrimination of any kind is testament to the seriousness with which we take such issues.

    The only thing that can possibly save the UK at this point is by introducing the United States equivalent of the first and second amendments of the U.S. Constitution.

    It would be interesting to see and hear how this would be opposed.

    In the process, much would be exposed…

    “….Cllr Griffiths used a quote which suggested inbreeding is disproportionately high amongst the Muslim population….”
    ——————————————————————
    If it’s “islamophobic” to mention the disproportionately high incidence of in-breeding amongst muslims – (30% of the problems caused by 3% of the population, according to Mortimer) – then is it also “islamophobic” to spend disproportionately large sums of UK taxpayer’s money on caring for them ?

    Or would it be even more “islamophobic” NOT to spend disproportionately large sums on caring for them ?

    At present the logic runs: “We are spending ten times as much on treating a problem amongst muslims which we deny exists.”

      Sure sounds like robust prejudice and discrimination against factburgers. Humans have always informally and non-militarily helped correct each other by “calling it like it is”. Only slaves get told how to think about and discuss obvious unfriendly incursions on our property and liberty.Tables need to be turned on globalists and those owned by them.
