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

UK: Days after massacre by Libyan who wanted to join ISIS, counterterror top dog goes on BBC re “right-wing threat”

Jun 23, 2020 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Just as Richard Kemp was saying, the British government is desperate to appease Muslims by pretending that there is a “far-right” terror threat equivalent to the jihad terror threat. And even just after the murder of three people by a man who is “believed to have been on the radar of MI5 because of a tip-off that he wanted to join Islamic State,” British authorities, with, of course, active help from the BBC, are doubling down on the narrative in defiance of reality:

    They used to be called traitors. Another bureaucrat running scared.

      Not just traitors – cowards, and willingly blind fools.

      This is far less defencible than the behaviour of the little child who thinks an unwelcome sight will go away if he closes his eyes and puts his hands over his eyes.

    He’s just stating what his masters have told him to say when they called him from the mosque.

      Neil Basu is himself a muslim and in 2019 he did an interview with the Mail where he stated that muslim communities should not have to integrate into British society and that it is effectively up to the British to accommodate minority community beliefs. He also ascribes islamic terrorism to discrimination and lack of opportunity. Funny though that British Hindus and Sikhs can get a good education here and get on (and all other ethnic groups) and it’s just the Muslims we supposedly discriminate against. The man clearly has his position as ‘counter terror’ chief because of positive discrimination, and with people like this in power is it any wonder we’re in the mess we’re in?

        Jun 24, 2020 at 7:47 am

        Are you sure he’s a muslim? Anil Kanti “Neil” Basu is not a muslim name.
        The surname Basu is primarily found among Bengali Hindus.
        Similarly his real first name Anil comes from the Vedic deity AniIa,
        His second name Kanti means “beauty” in Sanskrit.
        No hint of muslim origins in his full name therefore.
        Furthermore, I have read that he is mixed-race. His mother was white and came from Wales.
        See this link:-

        Dawne, Basu is *not* Muslim. His father was Indian, but not Muslim.

        He certainly is a cringing dhimmi, though.

      • Ralph Orchard says

        Jun 25, 2020 at 9:38 am

        And he still has his job as head of Counter Terrorism. Is this country going mad. He should have been suspended after this statement.

    Definitions matter.
    I get the feeling a father who found out his 12 year old daughter had fallen in with a grooming gang and took action would be considered a ‘right-wing terrorist’.
    A young migrant who reverted to fundamentalist Islam and ran through a park or market stabbing people would be a case of ‘mental illness’.

    • Rufolino says

      Jun 24, 2020 at 4:18 am

      This isn’t about “fundamentalist Islam”, which makes it sound like something aberrant.
      This is normative Islamic ideology. Affirmed over and over in the Koran and repeated every day in mosques.
      This reality has got to be restated for as long as it takes for the Western public to said up and get it.

      • terry sullivan says

        Jun 24, 2020 at 6:10 am

        we need to all email home sec–is she a moslem?–and state that basu, a moslem, should not be in charge of counter terrorism

        • gravenimage says

          Jun 24, 2020 at 9:35 pm

          Again, Basu is not Muslim. He is a dhimmi tool, though.

    …………………….

    Just grotesque.

    • Jayell says

      Jun 24, 2020 at 3:21 am

      I don’t know if Americans are aware, but the BBC has for a long time been a grotesque (that’s a very good word, Gravenimage) far-left propaganda machine that’s become so cock-sure of its immunity to criticism and its Divine Right to Existence because of the UK TV licence tax (which it sends its thugs round to collect if people don’t pay it) that it considers itself entitled to do and say exactly as it pleases and can’t be bothered that Everyone and His Dog can see through and make sick jokes about the hideous bias that’s so rampant that it’s nauseatingly predictable. So everyone who disagrees with the ‘BBC line’ (it’s not even supposed to have a ‘line’!!) either doesn’t get a mention at all or is ‘far right’ – only because the BBC is so ‘far left’ that everyone and everything else appears to be ipso facto to the ‘right’ of it. I believe that the BBC only advertises its jobs in a far-left rag called ‘The Guardian’ and, according to an anonymous BBC employee, you don’t get a job there if you give any suggestion that you’re not entirely left-wing in your thinking or if you’re already employed by them, you keep your mouth shut about any opinions you might have that don’t suit the ‘management line’. Likewise, following its ‘diversity’ agenda certain jobs in the past have been advertised for non-indigenous people only – which is strictly ‘racial discrimination’ and illegal, of course, but when you’re the BBC you can bend the law to fit. So, obviously, no one with any sense takes any notice of BBC news or current affairs output, and indeed an increasing number of UK citizens just never watch or listen to the BBC at all anymore.

      So it’s no surprise that the BBC decided to enlist this Basu character (promoted to his current position entirely on his individual personal merits, you understand) to pronounce on the Reading atrocity and go in for a bit of its usual creative reporting. The only thing I’m not clear about is when the BBC decided to merge its News and Comedy/Light Entertainment departments.

        Sadly true Jayell. As an American child with an English mother I loved the BBC. Things have changed a lot since then, though.

          About 60 years or so ago, when the BBC was still run by normal self-respecting persons with properly functioning brains and a bit of basic integrity. they ran an April Fool’s Day (April 1) spoof on ‘spaghetti trees’ when they glued lengths of spaghetti onto apple trees and filmed a ‘news feature’ about ‘Spaghetti farms in Italy’. At the time,they didn’t expect anyone except total idiots to believe them. These days they don’t bother with the spaghetti trees but every day might as well be April 1, and they apparently couldn’t care if anyone believes them or not because the licence money keeps rolling in anyway..

    The Politicians and Authorities are running scared there will be civil war in Britain once the native Brits wake up, and decide it’s time to fight back. So they are placing the blame on what they call ‘right wingers” which is in effect trying to silence and frighten your average “Mum and Dad” Conservative, lest they be labelled “right wingers”.

    • Roger Woodhouse says

      There is, and has been for a very long time a program of ‘re education and conditioning’ taking place in Britain to the extent that I would suggest 80% of the population have been totally subsumed by and blindly accept its constant leftwing bias without question.The BBC has along with its ‘back up ‘ trolls in the printed media become blase’ (to the point of carelessness)in their propaganda to an extent that now more and more people are’switching off’ .The licence’tax’ is becoming a serious threat to its hegemony which could (if enough stop paying it) be its eventual downfall.With many other tv and internet news available it surely is now just a matter of time before its licence fee is removed (and with it its power base)

    same game in Germany…. Stuttgart on the weekend, 500 migrants (the clips and photos are clear… even if the press says, German citizenship). Demolish, riot in the inner-city, attack the police, even more police pulled in from other cities… unable to control the mob.
    (Reasons are unclear… twitter had some left wing call, BLM style post, that sparked it… some police drug search of two individuals…) The Green Party top man tried to blame the right in an interview… peaceful party scene provoked by …! This was on Saturday/Sunday.
    On Monday Seehofer (Federal Minister ofInterior) had not much to say. Yesterday on Tuesday… big show on the ban on right wingers called ‘Nordadler’… 24 members, no crimes committed… ‘we ned to fight right wing terror’! No word any more about the mob of 500 migrants. And to repeat: Europol report 2019 – Rightwing Terror in Germany makes 1.5% (one point five). Really focusing on the big part. It does not matter that German party goers on the weekend always experience violence, so most try to go out on Thursday to avoid the Friday / Saturday mob. *Fuck Germans* and flying beer bottles, eye steering and girl touching…. Sorry, it just maddens me, this dishonest top dogs in media and politics.

    THE trouble with this country for years is they put people in jobs because of their ethnic or colour but not because they have any ability to do the job .it is reverse racism , any thing but a white person for the job is ok. what a state we are in because we let more and more people come here with no legal right.drain the swamp and bring all the trash here then the left wing fairies cant understand when the crap turns and bites them they have not got the brain to work it out poor things.

    The Left-Wing Media Cabal swings into action! Every time there happens to be a terror attack, the perpetrator, (if Muslim) has mental issues. Then the predictable fight back by the Left begins to attack what they consider to be “Far Right” extremists, to take the attention away from the real issue. “Far Right” extremists are normal people who have witnessed their country being ravaged by in particular Muslims, whether recently arrived or second/third generation individuals who hate our way of life and want to enforce Sharia upon us and what they consider to be “Islamic Values”. Politicians, Local Authorities etc have been infiltrated and as a result the social fabric of Western society and OUR VALUES are being attacked and undermined. Many politicians now bend the knee to Islam from sheer terror of being targeted. The MSM caved in years ago, and anyway many are now controlled by Arabs. All government sees is cash pouring into the coffers so they fail to question their approach to reporting. Of course a very big element is fear. Like in the majority of countries, the people were never consulted about immigration and the people who would be allowed to enter our country. Politicians took it upon themselves to let any and all riff raff in!
    Over the decades they have managed to welcome many murderers and rapists, and many people who simply will not acknowledge Western Values, they prefer to follow 7th century barbaric values that have no place in a modern world. Anyone who can see Islam for what it is and then dares to oppose it is then labelled “Right Wing”. This is the Left Wing establishments default position. Same old crap, time after time. I think they need to recognise that this rehearsed and designed response to what is a real problem no longer works with the people. We have had enough of this bullshit!! Of course, we may need to wait for some time before it actually sinks into the heads of the politicians, they tend to take a great deal longer than the people their policies affect, to realise their idiocy!!

      Only by replacing these ‘politicians’with patriotic candidates have we any chance.Stop voting for either or any establishment parties.Nigel Farage along with several other leaders of right of centre parties here in Britain should amalgamate to form a real alternative to the present failed patries.There is no other option now.

    Priti Patel is of Hindu descent, and has got where she is through her own efforts. It’s a pity she hasn’t done anything about the 2000 or so Muslim mainly young men who have arrived illegally via the Channel and should be sent straight back to France-only the French don;t want them either, which is why the French coastguards have escorted to where they are taken over by UK coastguards.

    The three victims were apparently Gay men. Here in the UK this has not been on the BBC or any major news outlet. I learned it only because I happened to read Douglas Murray’s Twitter feed which is followed on the Conservative Home website whose Editor is Paul Goodman, a journalist and former Conservative MP. My Muslim friend thought that it is ridiculous that this news is kept from us-as if we are children.

    • gravenimage says

      Jun 24, 2020 at 9:43 pm

      Francis, it turns out that two of the three victims were Gay. They were all friends, so were probably all assumed to be Gay:

      “Revealed: Reading terror stabbing victims were three friends – amid fears attack was motivated by homophobia as police continue to quiz suspect Khairi Saadallah”

      https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8446347/Second-victim-Reading-attack-brilliant-loving-American-man.html

      We all know how much Muslims hate Gay people. One victim was also an American.
