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

UK: Opposition to mosque proposal based on concerns about Islamic supremacism derided as “racist”

Aug 8, 2020 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Westminster City Council received 2,800 objections to the mosque proposal, “including a high volume of racist comments.”

Yet 5 Pillars, a Muslim publication, cannot find even one of this “high volume of racist comments” that actually mentions anything about race; all the comments that it quotes below opposing the mosque are concerned about Islamic supremacism, about the old Islamic adage “Islam must dominate, and not be dominated.” None of them say anything to the effect of “Muslims are of a different race and thus this mosque must not be built.” This reflects the general confusion in British society, as well as American society today: any opposition to jihad violence and Sharia oppression is decried as “racism,” even if race is never mentioned. Muslims, and Islamic jihadis, are of all races, but the enablers of that violence and oppression know that racism is generally considered to be the foremost sin of all in the modern age. Thus to denounce opposition to the mosque as “racism” is makes sense tactically: it lines up all the right-thinking people who abhor racism, or at least those among them who are unthinking lemmings, in support of the mosque.

“Proposal for Piccadilly Circus mosque withdrawn after racist complaints,” 5Pillars, August 4, 2020:

An application to convert part of the Trocadero building in London’s Piccadilly Circus into a mosque has been withdrawn after the plans received thousands of racist comments.

The Aziz Foundation, an Islamic education charity, submitted plans in February to turn two basement floors into a mosque for 1,000 worshippers.

Westminster City Council received 6,100 comments in support of the plans but 2,800 objected, including a high volume of racist comments.

Far-right group Britain First had organised a petition against the proposals.

A number of objectors said that the presence of large numbers of Muslims in the area may make LGBT people living and socialising in nearby Soho uncomfortable.

One objector said: “It is clear for all to see that the Muslim community will seek to impose itself on all aspects of the native culture and will never yield to anything that does not further the fundamentalist political aspirations of Islam.

“The writing is on the wall and as sure as night follows day, you can bet your bottom dollar allowing this wholly unwelcome intrusion on the native population will only exasperate the problem of Islam. It simply has no place in the West, as the orchestrated ‘support’ comments allude to.

“This is yet another assault on your nation by stealth and subversion. Please do not be fooled, we’ve had more than enough bloodshed and rape in this country thanks to cow-towing to the endless demands of the Muslim community.”

Another objector said: “I hope by now it is self-evident in this comments thread, that the Muslim community has NO RESPECT for the very legitimate concerns of the residents of Piccadilly…

“This is merely a taste of what will follow should this unwelcome, foreign display of dominance be imposed on British Citizens. Given it’s DISGUSTING track record, you would think one would be as silent as possible about belonging to this obnoxious, perverted, insidious cult, but as we can see from the incessant spamming in the ‘support’ comments, the Muslim community has no sense of decency or respect.

“What more evidence do we need that Islam has no place in the west? It seems the only people who haven’t realized this yet are in the Westminster bubble.”

The Local Democracy Reporting Service reports that local politicians have been critical of the high volume of objections that were “racist.”

Conservative councillor Matthew Green said: “We find these racist, hateful comments utterly repellent and will always move to ensure that they are taken down as quickly as possible.” He added some comments had been shared with the Met Police.

Previously, Labour councillor Hamza Taouzzale said: “Some of the comments that I’ve unfortunately had to read through were horrible, they really were. They were racist, they weren’t aligned with any of our views.”…

    Islam seeks to make everyone a Muslim. Wouldn’t it be racist to think that only people with dark skin can be Muslims? To hell with racism. It’s the ideology. Islam is out to kill or enslave you if you do not subit to what it says you should do; and it will kill you if you do not submit – no matter what color your skin is. Ask the Christians in Nigeria.

    I’m glad to see there is still some small bit of hope left for the U.K.

      “the presence of large numbers of Muslims in the area may make LGBT people living and socialising in nearby Soho uncomfortable”
      I would go so far as the say threatened. I am no fan of the LGBT mob, but imagine a crowd of Moose limbs emerging from the mosque after a fire breathing sermon from an extremist cleric (it seems it is very easy for the latter to get into UK as we see from past experience) and heading into the streets of Soho. Mayhem would most likely ensue

      Most people in the UK dislike and resent muslims. Their way of life is at odds with the average decent Brit. Sharia law, halal butcheries, praying 5 times a day, not allowing anyone to have another opinion. Hyde Park corner in London is where varying eccentrics aired their views to anyone who would listen. It has been taken over by islamic extremists who theaten anyone who disagrees with them. There is a useless police presence. Hundreds of muslims arrive every day by sea from France, they are put up in luxury hotels and guarded. Immams are sent in to tell them what their rights are and how to get the most from the infidels who provide them with all their requirements. The government remains silent. We need a Marine le Pen and might have it in Ann Marie Waters

        All too true Sylvia.

        Except you confuse Hyde Park Corner with “Speakers’ Corner”, which is at the other end of Park Lane.

        (Hyde Park Corner is where Apsley House, the residence of the Duke of Wellington, stands.
        Threre is also a colossal bronze statue of a naked Achilles in memory of the Iron Duke, “Presented by the grateful Women of England”, it says !)

        And the biggest issue is that the RW has generally gone all gung-ho on religious hatred, but the whole problem has been put into entirely the wrong construct – this article is completely correct – I’m a Leftie politically, but I have always known & believed that Islam is a threat to Western ideas, since hearing of the belief system of males in Kuwait from my father almost 65 years ago when I was a teen after he returned from 2 yrs working there, I made myself a commitment then to keep away from ME males as likely to be untrustworthy to a female because of Islamic ideology. Getting the ideology of this cult mixed up with racism is to confuse & belittle people’s fears of a dangerous cult !

    If what I read is correct then Mathew Green admitted to removing comments that were against the mosque.
    This is an attempt to quash any objections and I do wonder if this is a criminal offence to tamper with a public record in this manner.
    And if this is the case, then we all know why he hasn’t been charged and prosecuted.

      “But cynical Muslims are happy to use the smear of racism to advance the threat of Islam against us.”

      This is deliberate.

      muslims *know* that islam is not a race. They are well aware that Caucasians can “revert” to islam.

      muslim apologists (Ben Affleck) are just plain ignorant.

      But it shuts down conversation (criticism) in two ways:

      First…

      1. One has to defend that they are not a racist. (Trying to prove a negative)

      Second…

      2. One has to explain how islam is not a race.

      Both time-consuming – and rarely works.

    Sometimes racism can be an eye opener, bec it shows you the hypocrisy of some of the liars. Islam uses lying like I use toothpaste, and it is a truth teller about the entire cult.

  6. Antiislamicman says

    Islam is not a race. However the false prophet Muhammad was the biggest racist on the planet.

    Muhammad traded and owned black slaves. Islam is the most racist ideology on the planet.

    The people are right to oppose fascist
    Islam as if seeks to dominate every where it touches.

    The gay community have so much to be worried about as Islam has no place in any western society.

    Islam orders the death of gay people and enslaves black people.

    Eventually there will be a war against fascist Islam.

    People are slowly waking up to what this evil wicked cult is all about.

    Islam likes to play the race card even though it’s not a race. Islam is all about playing the victim. At the d same time they will rape young white girls.

    The false prophet Muhammad was a white guy so let that sink in. Muhammad said the devil is a black man. It is Islam that is racist.

    The comments that have been removed can’t be racist as a Muslim can be any colour, even white like the false prophet himself.

    Moose limbs are clearly racist for the most part, as they are anti the rest of the human race who are non Moose limb. They regard them as inferior to themselves and sinners destined for hell. OK there are tolerant moose limbs but many surveys have shown overwhelming support for jihad among the community

  8. Sylvi Clark says

    Aug 9, 2020 at 7:26 am

    My husband and I contributed two of the objections to the take over of the Trocadero Building in London’s Piccadilly Circus. We are absolutely delighted that the application was withdrawn. Having said that, no doubt the Islamic Community will now apply to acquire another property instead. Therefore we must be ready to oppose any further attempts to construct another Islamic Monstrosity on British Christian soil.

    Islam is a “tyrannical, violence-ridden, misogynistic socio-political ideology, masquerading as a religion. It is also totally incompatible with all civilised westernised countries, and specifically in relation to the values we hold dear, such as our right to freedom of speech, democracy, and human rights. Moslems who choose to follow Islamic scripture and the Hadiths ( spoken word) to the letter, have just one agenda, and that is to take over every country they move to. This is done specifically to subjugate the host population to their barbarian, 7th century, and primitive way of living, which is intolerant of all other faiths and cultures.

    The application for the mosque was withdrawn. The council did not have to discuss and vote on it.
    As Westminster Council is a Conservative dominated council – 41 Tory councillors to 19 Labour ones – the chances are that this proposal would have been voted down if it had come to a vote.
    I suspect that was why the application for the mosque was withdrawn.
    However, they may well try again in two or three years, especially if the number of Labour councillors increases.
    We will need to keep a close eye on this.

    • gravenimage says

      Aug 9, 2020 at 8:27 pm

      This is some good news, David! But yes–we need to keep an eye on this. For instance, the Ground Zero Mosque threat keeps coming back.

    Absurd. Islam is a political ideology. 51% of the Islamic primary texts (Sira, hadiths and Koran) are political messages.

    Islam is intrinsically political and explicitly supremacist.

    Do Britons really want Islam to become the established faith in UK? They had better wake up, because that is what devout Muslims ALL wish for.

  11. mortimer says

    Muslim Arabs are some of the most racist bigots on earth.

  12. Walter Sieruk says

    Aug 10, 2020 at 10:58 am

    The construction of the many mosques in both the United Kingdom and United States not only means that more and more Muslims are entering those two countries and likewise more and more people in theUk and the US are now being proselytized to Islam.

    This may be disturbing enough. In addition, this mass construction of mosques on England and America have still a further meaning which has been explained by a former Muslim who is now a Christian, Dr. Daniel Shayesteh, in his book ISLAM THE HOUSE I LEFT BEHIND for in page 99 it informs the reader that “The mosque is vital for establishing Muslims as sovereign over non-Muslims in a non-Islamic society or country. Building a mosque in a non-Islamic society or country symbolizes Islam’s claim over that society or country, even with a non-Muslim majority.”

    • mortimer says

      Aug 10, 2020 at 12:05 pm

      Any big mosque is financed by Arabian big oil money and the governments of the Peninsula. All big mosques are extensions of governments and outposts of influence and SALAFIST jihadism.

      The goal of the big mosques is to ‘Sharify’ the countries where the mega-mosques are built.

      The mosques are intended to be political hubs.
