UK pol asks government to account for rise in Muslim Brotherhood activity, taking advantage of coronavirus pandemic

May 2, 2020 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Here’s your answer, Mr. Rosindell: the British government is paralyzed by fear of its increasingly restive and aggressive Muslim minority, and desperately afraid of appearing to be “racist” or “Islamophobic.” In such an environment, groups such as the Muslim Brotherhood essentially have a free hand.

“British government asked to account for rise in Muslim Brotherhood activity,” by Thomas Harding, The National, April 29, 2020:

A senior British politician has demanded international action to prevent extremists taking advantage of the coronavirus crisis to “exploit” vulnerable people.

Andrew Rosindell has raised his concerns at the highest level of British government, asking ministers to answer questions over the rise in Muslim Brotherhood activities as a result of the pandemic

There are fears that the extremist movement has taken advantage of the Covid 19 pandemic to spread its influence.

Mr Rosindell, a Conservative, wants answers from his government colleagues over the increased activity in Britain and internationally by extremist sympathisers.

Mr Rosindell, 54, asked Home Secretary Priti Patel for her assessment of the Muslim Brotherhood’s activity in Britain as a result of the economic downturn.

He also asked Dominic Raab, the Foreign Secretary, for an evaluation of the “global economic downturn on trends in the level of recruitment by the Muslim Brotherhood overseas”.

Mr Rosindell told The National that there needed to be a global effort to investigate and battle extremist networks using the pandemic to target “vulnerable people”.

“All governments must act now to monitor and counter activities by extremist organisations such as the Muslim Brotherhood and organisations they control or influence, which may be exploiting the Covid-19 crisis to target vulnerable people and communities,” he said.

There are increased worries that the Brotherhood is growing in influence in Britain despite its close ties to miltant groups such as Hamas in the Gaza Strip.

Last year the US considered designating the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organisation.

Mr Rosindell has long been calling for a ban on radical organisations who use the country as a base to raise funds and radicalise Muslims through community-based organisations and institutions.

“I think we have been far too soft for far too long,” he told the Conservative Party Conference in 2014….

      There is no one present in this British government that has the slightest intention of taking on radical Islam.It really doesnt affect them so they are very unlikely to propose any such action that might impact (negatively)on their careers.

    “Destroying the Western civilisation from within” is the Muslim Brotherhood’s stated aim.
    The UK government does not see that as a problem.

    I am surprised the Irish Republican Army hasn’t sued the government to receive tolerant treatment equal to the Muslims in England.

      It would be interesting to see a comparison between the tally of death and destruction on the UK mainland caused by the IRA with that caused by muslims. I believe a comparison of downright deliberate depravity against the person committed by muslims as opposed to the iRA would probably show an astronomical score for the muslims and near-zero for the iRA. But try and publish the results and you’d find yourself censored and maybe even get a friendly visit from your local police.

      “….I am surprised the Irish Republican Army hasn’t sued the government to receive tolerant treatment equal to the Muslims in England….”
      ———————————————————————————————————-
      They hardly need to – what more could they be given than they’ve already got ? A blanket pardon for the atrocities and criminal acts they’ve committed / the soldiers who opposed the IRA, the Taliban, Saddam Hussein etc, being hounded through court case after court case by Left-wing lawyers who hate this country and wish to see it’s Armed Forces neutralised by fear and infiltration – (who’d be mad enough to join the British Army these days ?) / and it’s political wing, Sinn Fein, with an ever-growing number of parliamentary seats.

      Had Corbyn become PM, then he and his IRA-groupie MP friends Seumus Milne, John McDonnell, Diane Abbott, Rebecca Long-Bailey, Lisa Nandy, Mark Burgon etc would have begged Sinn Fein to take up their seats at Westminster.

      Indeed, what with Sinn Fein plus the Sharia contingent, there’d be more AK47s available to the MPs inside the Houses of Parliament than there are amongst the police protecting the place…..

        As the old expression says; what goes around comes around. England’s IRA Troubles were like those in all the conquered lands your Royals wanted to tax. No slave is happy in his lot, and who would not expect them to envy their masters. Unlike some wild animal, men have a natural desire for self rule. The Royals lost countries all over the world because they could find none who wanted to play Sir Walter Raleigh’s Cape to the Brits. Neither did Ireland.

        In fighting and power struggles within the IRA caused fractures in the way their leadership sought to accomplish their goals. As a result, the IRA grew weaker almost by the day. Only the Political Faction (Sinn Fein) seemed to keep their eye on the Ball and eventually with the military wing self destructing, the Brits offered them a deal they could not refuse.

        Now that the Irish have decided to accept this arrangement with your government, it seems strange to me that you don’t meet them in some pub, and over a pint look for some common cause with the IRA. Surely the Mohammedans have done a number on your military, if I’m to believe what you said. Are you more content with the moslems controlling sections of your cities where they have essentially established “a Country within a Country” by implementing “No Go” Zones? Did the IRA send “Rape Gangs” out across the highways and byways to make life in Britain unlivable to your women and children? Most of the combat with the IRA was in Ireland. The moslems come from almost half way around the world to violently subdue you but like the internal fighting within the IRA, you would rather have internal fighting within the British Government (weakening you) to the point a generally illiterate and barbaric Dark Ages Religion is controlling large sections of what’s left of your Empire.

        The Mohammedans are the trespassing invaders on your Island and if your present government fails to defeat them, they will take over and make slaves of the Royals subjects. Still, the desire for self rule will live in the hearts of men, and the slaves will always revolt against the slave holders. I hope the IRA (which really is defunct now, except for the desire for self rule which can never be extinguished) would see the wisdom in joining the Brits in a common cause for survival. If not, the Crusading moslems who have nothing to live for but their own death, will turn their survivors loose on Ireland after they have enslaved England.

        I’m no Prophet, but I can read, and the handwriting on the wall is quite clear, even if I don’t read Farsi.

          The IRA generally loved Jihadists, particularly the PLO.

    If you want to see Britain survive as a free, civilized society, support Anne Marie Waters’ For Britain party. You don’t have to be a Brit to become a member and give them some financial assistance. Help a little or a lot, but give that bold, fearless party the support it deserves.

    According to the feature article:

    “Last year the US considered designating the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organisation.”

    Why was this not done?

    That designation seems fairly straightforward to me…

    According to the Center for Security Policy:

    “Designating a foreign terrorist organization under the law requires only a few basic requirements that are not difficult to prove if they exist.

    These include being a foreign organization, evidence of engaging terrorist activity as defined by statute, and representing a threat to U.S. national security broadly defined.”

      The center for security is than far rightwing hate organization.

        May 2, 2020 at 10:58 pm

        Brian, that’s exactly how a muslim or leftist muslim apologist would describe that organization.

        You took the words right out of cair’s mouth…

        So wanting to have security against ravening Mohammedans is “hate”? Of course it is…

    I disagree that the government is “paralyzed by fear”. They are openly working with the moose limbs.
    You can not do for a nation, or a person, what they are unwilling to do for themselves. If you support freedom and liberty, you won’t find any in the UK.

    “UK pol asks government to account for rise in Muslim Brotherhood activity, taking advantage of coronavirus pandemic”.

    Ask the UK Government to account for that??? Nice try, but someone’s being a bit naive here. The Government are quite clearly in on it, or hasn’t someone noticed? It’s so obvious, it stares you in the face!!!

    “…far too soft for far too long”, Rosindell said of the government’s action.
    Note: that was in 2014.

    Same old story where ever the muslim/islamic migration has taken place. If you want to turn your neighborhood into a third world shit hole, bring in islamic migrants, they can do it in months while you pay them for it. They also will see to it that you lose your freedom of speech and expose you and your family to rape, murder and their blessed call to prayer 4 times day starting at 5:30 am.
