How “moderate” could the Muslims in the UK possibly be if they could be driven to jihad violence by a little quite justifiable criticism?
“UK could be hit by wave of homegrown jihadis if British muslims are called antisemitic after Hamas terror attack on Israel, scholar warns,” by Ed Holt, Daily Mail, June 30, 2024:
…Dr. Mohammad bin Abdulkarim Al-Issa, Secretary General of The Muslim World League, said ‘unwarranted suspicion’ of Islam could drive moderate followers of the religion to form the hardline views that lead to terrorism….
In a chilling assessment, Dr. Al-Issa – who is holding private meetings with politicians and Jewish community representatives during a UK visit – said, ‘We fear the rise of both anti-Semitism and Islamophobia and warn against pushing moderate Muslims towards political Islam and extremism, which could happen if they are repeatedly described as anti-Semites.
‘We must encourage the moderate Islam of the vast majority of Muslims in the United Kingdom, who live here peacefully and contribute to its economy and prosperity.’
Hoi Polloi says
Where ‘unwarranted suspicion’ is no doubt determined by standards they set.
Rather like the muslim who went on a slaughtering rampage on a U.S. base over someone making a crack about his mustache. It was over the line and merited mass slaughter, by his standard.
We certainly get a lot of warnings about “hurting muslim sentiments,” but I hear very little that goes the other way.
somehistory says
There is a “vast majority of mozlums”…..a billion or two depending on who is doing the counting, But there are no “moderates.” Just a boatload who have yet to get out their big swords and knives and go to slicing and dicing.
This ghoul is just doing what many before him have done:….warn through threats of violence if people don’t stop telling the Truth about islam and the goals of mozlums to conquer and rule the rest of us through slavery, intimidation, extortion, rape and murder…all those people they hate.
Mike says
Islam rule thru fear. Anything that makes Muslims look bad in the eye’s of the world. Only the truth is what Islam doesn’t what released to the world
The Remorseless Headsman says
In other words, if you call us murderers, we have no choice but to go out and murder more.
Opinion says
Exactly! That’s my thoughts too!
So, by calling out the actual murderers, those who seemingly aren’t will join in the killing spree. How insane can this get!
gravenimage says
It’s also bullsh*t. How many here have been falsely accused of violence–as Americans or other Westerners; as Jews, Christians, or atheists; or as members of assorted political parties or other groups, or of certain opinions?
Then, while this may well anger and sadden us, it *does not* make us go out and commit violence.
Mike says
Mr. Spencer: WHO are YOU to say that Muslim World TEAGUE ZZ TOP HOGG is warning against calling Muslims anti-Semitic??!!
First of all, why do you assume that this gentleman used to be a Teague? He doesn’t appear to be of Celtic origin all all!
Moreover, his beard is no more ZZToppish than that of the Whizz Bowl Ahh toilet bowl turbanned gentleman whom you featured earlier. It’s far too trim and non-hirsute!
As for the term “hog” (or “Hogg”), are you freaking kidding? He is a bit porcine-looking, but nowhere near the level of the late Sorrell Booke. Granted, he is definitely chunkier than the late, great Burt Reynolds, who was very lean and poorly-cast in that lame movie.
As for Muslims being called anti-Semitic, everyone already knows it’s a fairly big problem, so yes, it won’t really affect levels of violent jihad one way or the other.
Finally, Mr. Spencer, I’m going to have a fit if you keep mentioning the UK!! If we become an Islamic Steak or a Banana Republic, WHAT is it to you?? YOU need to FOCUS on YOUR country, and let US focus on ROYALLY messing up OURS! Okee-Dokee?????
gravenimage says
Grimly amusing.
Mike, I just worry that few readers will know what it is that you are spoofing.
Mike says
Ya, “John Allan” has been mostly quiet as of late. John, where are you?
Re: Sorrell Booke (the original “Boss Hogg” from “The Dukes of Hazzard”). Fans of the TV show might have assumed him to be unsophisticated, but he was just the opposite.
He had a Master’s degree in fine arts, and spoke a number of foreign languages fluently, and was a very versatile actor.
I do maintain though, that Burt Reynolds, great actor though he was, was poorly-cast as Boss Hogg in the big-screen version of The Dukes of Hazzard. He just didn’t fit the character, so to speak.
gravenimage says
Yes, John Allan hasn’t been ranting about how Islamamized Britain is just fine–for the past couple of weeks, at least…
Opinion says
Is that ignorance or patrotism asking what business one has with the spread of jihadism in the UK? Please, open your eyes unless you’re a jihadist apologist. Muslims are anti-semites. It’s in the Qu’ran an taught at Koranic schools. The first thing an innocent Islamic child is taught to do is to hate Jews and Christians to the point of killing them all because they are infidels.
gravenimage says
Opinion, this from Mike is sarcasm. It refers to a different poster, one who would always castigate Robert Spencer for saying anything negative about Jihad in the UK, since Spencer himself is not British–but as I noted to Mike, many readers, such as yourself, may be unaware of this.
In reality, Mike is a staunch Anti-Jihadist.
Jay Lykins says
There is also another side to this ……… If Muslims would stop the jihad massacres, people would stop calling them antisemitic and Islamophobic.
OK. I’ll go first. Muslims are not antisemitic or Islamophobic …… unless they commit jihad massacres.
Your turn …………
Mike says
Jay: good point, but I think you meant “anti-Semitic and Islamofascistic.” It’s many non-Muslims who get unfairly tarred as “Islamophobic.”
Jayell1 says
I’m sorry, but I just fell about laughing when I read that headline. It sounds just like a I’mcorny line pinched from some ‘B’ list gangster movie, a bit like – ‘Nice car/shop/warehouse you’ve got here, mate. Shame if it just happened to catch fire/blow up next time you said something a little bit nasty about us’. But what else should you expect from an outfit like islam that, at the end of the day, was never any more than a 7th. century-style organised crime syndicate with ‘God’ at the top because they hadn’t invented ‘insurance’ (know what I mean?) yet.
By the why, that ‘Muslim World League’ with its ‘General Secretary’ (obviously an attempted ‘UN’ ripoff) is absolutely priceless! We’ve already got our ‘Muslim Council of Great Britain’ that seems to think it’s ready to move into Westminster; have you got your ‘Muslim Congress’ in the USA yet? What’s next? The ‘Muslim Space Agency’? They seem to be a bit slow off the mark there because they should have been claiming their rights to the Moon a long time ago after the Great Prophet took a day trip there on his horse.

UK: Muslim World League top dog warns that calling Muslims antisemitic will make them carry out jihad massacres
……………………………………
So the cause of violent Muslim antisemitism is Infidels noting violent Muslim antiseitism? Uh huh…
Westman says
The Quran is antisemitic so how could a believing Muslim not be? Where did Muslims get the idea to call Jews, “Apes and Pigs”? These are terms of endearment?
Anna says
I can’t even look at these guys’ faces anymore. I hope it doesn’t make me racist. Brown Hispanics don’t make me angry to look at, though, so maybe it’s not about race. I don’t know. I want to be a decent person.
gravenimage says
Nothing ‘racist’ about hating to look at violent Jihadists, Anna,.
Jihadists come in all ethnicities.
tgusa says
“calling Muslims antisemitic will make them carry out jihad massacres”
He says that as if muslims need an excuse to carry out jihad massacres. I dont know where this guy was born but today he lives in pretendistan.
PRCS says
pretendistan.
I like it.
Hoi Polloi says
+1 to pretendistan
samnight says
Same mistake made by millions IGNORE the real aim of Islam which endorses jihad activity to ensure aims of Islam are realised. We cannot afford to cave in to moderate Muslims. The entire debacle of Islam needs to be gone from our western countries and banned
PRCS says
Islam doesn’t endorse jihad.
As a core tenet of Islam, Muslims are expected to engage.
gravenimage says
+1
Captain Kirk says
Same difference: you call a spade a spade and the spade will try to kill you, you call a spade no spade and he will try to kill you.
abu taleb says
We should call them as pious and devoted muslims because they kill the Jews (and Christians and other non muslims) as commanded in Islam.
The same as we should not call muslims as pedophile, sex abusers, woman beaters etc, we should call them as loyal followers of Muhammad because Muhammad did all of those.
FYI says
And using the term top-dog,why that’s probably triggerng our doggo friends.
After all we all know allah/islam hates dogs.Ask any ex-muslim.
“Fido,did you know that>”grrrr.woof WOOF WOOF grrrrr
“Whoa.”calm down! walkies!” Fido {panting.}Runs off to get doglead.
Top dog Fido!
OLD GUY says
They are what they are, followers of the most violent hate gang in the world. ISLAM!
tim gallagher says
Muslims are always killing non-Muslims. It is all there in that stinking hate manual, the Koran, which tells them to do so.. The Muslim reaction is always to turn to murderous violence and threats of violence. And we still have so many total idiots who tell us that islam is “peaceful”. What a fantasy world some people do inhabit. It is time that the entire non-Muslim world turned on Muslims and hammered them. That is what the scum deserve.
