British Police Vow to Crack Down on Forced Conversions...

Extremist Muslims who force vulnerable teenage girls to convert to Islam are being targeted by police, Met chief Sir Ian Blair has revealed.

Police are working with universities to clamp down on "aggressive conversions" during which girls are beaten up and forced to abandon university courses.

• Muslim pupils 'need their own showers'

The Hindu Forum of Britain claims hundreds of mostly Sikh and Hindu girls have been intimidated by Muslim men who take them out on dates before terrorising them until they convert.

Sir Ian spoke about the problem at a conference organised by the forum.

A Met spokesman said: "Neighbourhood officers work with university authorities in London and we would encourage anyone targeted in this way to seek help and support and where necessary use third party reporting facilities if they do not want to contact police directly."

Ramesh Kallidai, of the Hindu Forum of Britain, said: "Some girls are petrified because they are constantly being phoned up, having their door knocked.

"One girl was beaten up on the street and others have been forced to leave university."

• Met police chiefs are to review a controversial stop-and-search power used in the fight against terrorism. Assistant commissioner Andy Hayman, the overall head of Britain's anti-terrorist operations, said he had concerns about the number of stops carried out in London using Section 44 legislation.

Afghan mansion dad in ‘tax scam

AN Afghan dad whose family live rent-free in a £1.2million pad has been charged with running a massive tax-dodge scam.

Haji Saeidi's wife and seven kids already get £170,000 a YEAR in benefits to live in the seven-bedroom home in Acton, West London.

But now Mr Saeidi, 48, could face jail after allegedly swindling hundreds of thousands of pounds MORE from taxpayers.

The cabbie will stand trial with another man next month accused of helping to run a cigarette smuggling racket. Prosecutors will claim the pair deliberately evaded paying duty on imported fags and tobacco. One source said: "Typical sentences for evading duty up to £500,000 can be up to four years in jail."

Mr Saeidi, who came to the UK in 2000 and lives apart from his family, was unavailable for comment. Wife Toorpakai, 36, said: "This is no business of yours." The Sun first told in October 2008 how she, her four sons and three daughters aged nine to 23, have benefited from loopholes in Whitehall guidelines introduced in 2008 for housing allowances. New rules have since been introduced. But Ealing Council cannot move them from the mansion until late January.

Relatives encouraged 16-year-old Muslim to rape his 12-year-old "bride"

Three elements of this story are of particular interest regarding the subversion of British law for Sharia: The first is the persistence of child marriage, which was made not only acceptable but commendable in Islam (Qur'an 33:21) by Muhammad's own example. The second is the obvious disregard for the force of non-Islamic law when a practice is permissible under Sharia, and the third is the attitude toward women as property whose rights are limited by the authority of men over them, which permeates Islamic texts and teachings (see, for example, Qur'an 4:34).
Despite the nature of the crime, the light sentences issued in response demonstrate a lack of seriousness in making clear that British law remains the law of the land -- especially for the sake of the most vulnerable members of society, like the pre-teen girl in this case. from BBC News,

The 54-year-old organised a sham Muslim ceremony between his son, then 16, and the girl at his home in Woolwich, south-east London, in March last year.

At Wood Green Crown Court the boy got an 18-month supervision order for rape.

The fathers of the boy and girl were both jailed for three years for inciting a child to engage in sexual activity following an illegal marriage.

The boy's mother, 54, was given a 12-month jail term, suspended for two years, for the same offence.

She was also ordered to do 200 hours of community service.

The case came to light when the mother of the girl, who objected to the arranged "marriage", told police about it.

Scotland Yard child abuse detectives then discovered several relatives of the boy had urged him to rape his cousin.

In a statement, the girl's mother said: "What happened to my daughter was a nightmare. These convictions will help us move on."

Speaking after the case, Det Insp Noel McHugh, who led the investigation, called it a "really awful crime".

He said: "This has been an exceptionally challenging investigation and we are grateful to all those who assisted with the case and ensured the convictions.

"The offences are incomprehensible and the victim is a truly brave girl who suffered at the hands of those who should have offered her protection."...

Parents' fury as failed asylum seeker who killed 12-year-old girl in hit-and-run wins court bid to stay in Britain

An asylum seeker who ran over a girl of 12 and left her to die has won his appeal to stay in the UK after arguing his right to a family life.

Aso Mohammed Ibrahim, 32, was banned from driving and awaiting deportation when he ran away with Amy Houston trapped under the wheels of his car.

But the Iraqi Kurd, who was jailed for four months, used the European Human Rights Act to avoid being sent home because he has since had two children here.

Last night Amy's family condemned the decision and said Ibrahim had destroyed their own right to a family life.

Her father, Paul Houston, said: 'I know what it feels to have your family broken up, but the fact he has got to stay is an absolute travesty.

'They may as well give passports out in lucky bags because that is all they are worth. I cannot believe the judge's decision and that he thinks it is right for him to stay here. Is he on another planet?'

The 39-year-old engineer, from Darwen, Lancashire, added: 'If I thought he was genuinely sorry, I would have stood up in court and said I didn't want him to be taken away from his children.'

All Ibrahim's applications for asylum and citizenship had been rejected at the time of the accident.

But although he was technically awaiting deportation, he was not returned to Iraq because it was too dangerous. Just weeks before knocking down Amy outside her home in November 2003, Ibrahim had been banned for nine months for driving while disqualified and without insurance or a licence.

Amy, who lived with her mother Joanne Cocker, was trapped beneath the car but Ibrahim got out and ran off. A police officer drove her in an ambulance so both its paramedics could treat her, but despite their efforts she died in hospital later that day.

Ibrahim later went to a police station and confessed.

But after serving his sentence for failing to stop after an accident he met a British woman, Christina Richardson. They claim they had an Islamic marriage ceremony in Birmingham, but there is no documentary proof.

They now have two children, Harry, three, and Zara, two.

In 2006, Ibrahim was again convicted of driving while disqualified and given two-year supervision order and a three-year driving ban.

He was going through further processes to try to stay in the UK but again these were exhausted, and last year he was taken to a deportation centre pending a final appeal.

The hearing was held in Manchester last month where he argued he had a right to stay under provision in the European Human Rights Act for the right to a family life.

This week the decision was made to allow him to remain.

But Amy's father, who is being supported by his mother Margaret, remains defiant. Mr Houston said: 'I hope he doesn't celebrate too soon because this is not the end.

'I could sit here and think "Well, Amy's dead, she isn't going to come back" but I won't. I will fight this decision for the rest of my life - or until he leaves the country. I owe Amy that much.'
The Asylum and Immigration Tribunal said the reasons behind the judgment would not be made public. But Justice Secretary Jack Straw, who is Mr Houston's MP, said he was 'very disappointed' by the decision and would take the case to Home Secretary Alan Johnson to try to force an appeal.

Jo Liddy, regional director of the UK Border Agency in the North West, said: 'We are extremely disappointed. We have made it clear that we will prioritise the removal of those foreign nationals who present the most risk of harm to the public.'

Road safety groups campaigned for years for stiffer penalties to be introduced for killer drivers.
In 2007, the Government introduced longer prison sentences for people causing death while driving a car while disqualified or without valid insurance.

Muslim chef who sued over having to cook sausages enjoyed eating them before he brought his suit

Before, that is, he saw the possible financial rewards of playing the Islamic victim game. But this time, it backfired. An update on this story. "Muslim police chef defeated in 'bacon roll' tribunal faces £75,000 legal bill," by Tom Harper in the Daily Mail,

A Muslim chef who lost a claim of religious discrimination against Scotland Yard after complaining he was forced to cook sausages and bacon faces a legal bill of more than £75,000.

Hasanali Khoja accused the Metropolitan Police of failing to consider his Islamic beliefs when he was asked to handle pork products as a catering manager at a police station.

The £23,000-a-year chef claimed suggestions by his bosses that he should wear gloves and use tongs left him 'stressed and humiliated'. Muslims are banned from eating pork under Islamic law.

But Mr Khoja, 62, lost his claim in May after a police employee told an employment tribunal how she saw Mr Khoja eat bacon rolls and sausages.

The Metropolitan Police Authority (MPA) has now won a ruling ordering Mr Khoja to pay its costs, which total at least £76,200.

In its costs claim, the Met said Mr Khoja 'knew that he had asked for a bacon roll two or three times for personal consumption before bringing his claim and throughout the conduct of his claim'.

'The fact that he had knowingly come into contact with pork products before bringing the claim shows that the claim had no reasonable prospect of success from the outset.'...

Mr Khoja, who sits on a Foods Standards Agency advisory committee on Muslim issues, decided to take action after Scotland Yard chiefs placed him on unpaid leave for a year after his refusal to work with pork....

But his case fell apart when another caterer, Mary Boakye, told the court she served him bacon rolls 'two or three' times at the Met canteen at Heathrow in West London.

When she told him she was surprised because his religion banned him from eating pork, Mr Khoja allegedly replied: 'I eat them once in a while.'

Another chef said he saw Mr Khoja once happily eat a sausage dish and told the court 'he was not as strict as some Muslims'.

Judge Southam also heard how Mr Khoja had made 'wild and baseless' allegations about a human resource manager, allegedly making racial facial gestures....

British war memorial defaced with "Islam will dominate the world"

The graffiti was removed with lightning speed and the news report of the incident doesn't say what it said, but rather blames the "far right." Apparently there are forces in the U.K. who don't want people to know that some Muslims crow about how Islam will dominate.

"Vandals deface the town war memorial," by Richard Castle at the Burton Mail, December 18

A Royal British Legion boss says vandals have "dishonoured those who have given their lives for our country" by defacing Burton's war memorial.

Roy Whenman, vice-chairman of the town's Legion branch, received calls from members saying an extremist message had been written on the statue.

Having been informed at 9.20am, borough council chiefs had cleaned the graffiti from the relic, situated outside Burton College, in Lichfield Street, by 9.40am....

Dennis Fletcher, chairman of East Staffordshire Racial Equality Council, said he suspected someone from the far right was responsible....

Yes, of course, the "far right"! "Islam will dominate" is a common "far right" slogan!

Albanian Misunderstander of Islam gets 7 years for weapons, Hizballah bomb-making manuals, suicide belt

And he wrote in a chat forum that he wanted to see Americans and Jews killed. But...but...I thought Albanian Muslims were all moderate, peaceful, and fiercely loyal to America and the West! "British court jails Albanian on terrorist charges," from JTA, December 18

(JTA) -- A British court jailed an Albanian Muslim for seven years after weapons and Hezbollah manuals were found in his home.

Krena Lusha, 30, from Derby in southeastern England, was sentenced Tuesday after being convicted on terrorist charges, the Jewish Chronicle reported.

Police found gasoline, Hezbollah bomb-building manuals, a suicide bomb belt, a missile, explosives and detonators in his home, the Jewish Chronicle reported.

They found videos of beheadings and bomb attacks on his computer as well as jihadist propaganda. Lusha told an internet chat forum that he wanted to see Americans and Jews killed....

MP condemns plan to build a 'Muslim Eton' for girls

The college for 1,500 pupils would be both the largest Muslim faith school and the biggest boarding school in the country – larger than 1,330-pupil Eton.

Yesterday Gordon Prentice, MP for Pendle, near the school site in Burnley, warned that it could damage existing schools and colleges in the area and stoke community tensions.

‘The last thing we need is single-sex, single faith schools for girls,’ he told the Times Educational Supplement.

‘It pulls against community cohesion. It makes me weep to think so much time, energy and effort has gone into the community to get people to mix together. [This] goes against all public policy.’

The blueprint emerged after a proposal for a 5,000-place girls’ boarding school in Pendle was dropped amid public opposition.

The Islamic charity behind the Burnley project, the Mohiuddin Trust, insists its aim is to ‘strengthen inter-community relationships’.

It is in the process of setting up Mohiuddin International Girls’ College after purchasing the former Burnley College site for £2million.

The college would cater for girls of 16 and over and teach mainstream qualifications and faith studies.

The trust wants the school to cater initially for 500 students, expanding to 1,500.
Dr Mohammed Iqbal, a Mohiuddin trustee, said: ‘At this moment it’s difficult to offer a detailed response about the courses to be offered as we are still in the preliminary planning stages.
‘We do, however, expect to offer a variety of skills and courses.

‘A-levels are being considered but may not be available as soon as the college starts.
‘Our objective is to offer young women the opportunity to empower themselves with better qualifications with the aim of improving chances of securing better employment.’

Afzal Anwar, the Liberal Democrat parliamentary candidate for Pendle, said he understood that the school would be open to girls of all faiths, and would offer optional lessons in Islamic studies.
He said the plans for a 5,000- place school in Pendle were dropped after attracting ‘overwhelming local opposition’ from all communities, including a majority of Muslims.

He added: ‘There should be provision for faith schools if parents want to send their children there.’

A spokesman for the Department for Children, Schools and Families said: ‘We have not yet been approached by the promoters of the school, so we do not know what their proposals are.

‘Any application will be scrutinised closely before the school can open.’

Al-Qaeda terrorist gets 100% mortgage

A BANK was blasted last night after giving a 100 per cent mortgage to an al-Qaeda terrorist who smuggled himself into the UK.

Albanian Krenar Lusha, 30, landed the NatWest loan after it failed to complete full checks on his UK status, a court heard.

He used the £93,000 terraced house in Derby to keep bomb-making equipment and set up an al-Qaeda base.

Lusha got the loan with no deposit at the height of the credit crunch last year.

He had opened a NatWest account after sneaking into the UK in a lorry in 2000.

Despite failing to win asylum, he got a driving licence and an engineering job - and had declined another mortgage offer.

One mortgage adviser told Preston Crown Court: "He was just a pleasant-natured person." But Lusha was yesterday jailed for seven years for possessing the bomb-making gear and manuals following a three-week trial. He boasted on dating websites of being a "terrorist" who "loved" to see Jews killed.

Footage on his PC showed beheadings. Mr Justice Butterfield said Lusha had a side that "revelled in violence".

Tory MP David Davies said last night: "Can we assume hundreds of illegal immigrants have been given mortgages?" NatWest said it had "robust mortgage account opening procedures".Read

Father found guilty of honour killing of daughter, 15, after she fell in love with man from different branch of Islam

A father was today jailed for 22 years for the honour killing of his teenage daughter.

Mehmet Goren murdered 15-year-old Tulay for her doomed 'Romeo and Juliet' romance with Halil Una, an older man from a different branch of Islam.

After the teenager lost her virginity to her lover she was viewed as a 'valueless commodity' by her father - and had to be killed to restore the family's reputation.

Mr Unal was a Turkish Sunni Muslim but the Gorens were from the Alevi branch of the faith and an Alevi-Sunni relationship 'would not have been tolerated', the Old Bailey heard.

Sentencing, Mr Justice Bean, said Goren's attempts to appear a 'thoroughly modern and enlightened family man' failed to deceive the jury.

'The reality is that your enigmatic smile conceals a violent and dominating personality,' he told the killer, who showed not a flicker of emotion.

'Your wife Hanim has finally had the courage to break free of the domination and reveal what she knew of what you did in January 1999.'

He said Goren planned the murder of his daughter with 'considerable care', even forcing her to write a letter relating a false account of what had happened to her to try to throw police off the scent.

Goren disposed of the schoolgirl's body 'with such ingenuity that it has never been found', he added.

'You did all this simply because you regarded it as unacceptable that she, rather than you, should choose the man she wanted to marry.

'The term "honour killing" is a convenient shorthand, but it is a grotesque distortion of language.
'There is nothing honourable about such a hideous practice or the people who carry it out.'

The judge made clear Goren would not be eligible for parole until 2030, when he will be nearly 70.

The Old Bailey had heard how Tulay - who had told a friend she might be pregnant - vanished from the family home in north London in January 1999.

The day before she disappeared, her mother Hanim returned home to find her daughter trussed up so tightly her hands and feet had turned purple and black.

In harrowing evidence, Mrs Goren told the court how she had tried to untie Tulay but her daughter told her 'Mum don't untie me, I want to die.'

The case ground to a halt for several moments after the anguished mother, 45, screamed across the court at her husband.

'Look at my face. Tell me what you did to Tulay,' she demanded, adding in Turkish: 'Tell me where her bones are.'

Jurors also heard how Goren, 49, ordered his eight-year-old son Tuncay to kiss Tulay goodbye as he would never see his sister again.

The day afterwards she vanished. Police believe she was drugged, tortured and stabbed to death by her father who then temporarily hid her body in the back garden.

The jury cleared Goren's two brothers Ali, 56, and Cuma, 43, of Tulay's murder. All three men were also found not guilty of conspiring to murder Tulay's boyfriend.

Thirteen days after Tulay's murder, Goren attacked Mr Unal - who reported Tulay missing - with an axe in a pub car park in Leytonstone.

He recovered from his injuries and Goren - who was described as a 'psychotic bully' - was jailed for GBH.

Evidence: Police believe this piece of washing line was used during the disposal of Tulay's body
It emerged that Goren had once tried to gas his whole family to death and on another occasion to inject his wife with rat poison.

The attack and Mr Unal and Tulay's disappearance were treated separately and it was two months before detectives began to suspect Tulay had been murdered.

Police submitted a file to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) in 2000 but on advice from a senior prosecution barrister no one was charged over her death.

Goren, of Woodford Green, had been arrested shortly after his daughter's disappearance but was arrested again in 2008, along with his two brothers, after a review.
All three were charged and brought to trial.

But it was the bravery of Mrs Goren, who had endured 30 years of torment at the hands of her husband, which eventually led to his conviction.

Breaking the conspiracy of silence which has often thwarted honour cases, she took the stand to give damning evidence.

Police and lawyers praised both her and Tulay's sister Nuray and lover Halil Unal for their courage in speaking out.

Scotland Yard and the CPS today admitted past gaps in their knowledge and understanding of domestic violence in British Muslim families.

But a senior detective today pledged: 'No victim will be turned away on the basis that honour-based violence is nothing to do with the police.'

Police had become involved in the weeks leading up to the murder when Mehmet beat up Mr Unal, then complained about the relationship to officers and demanded his daughter take a virginity test.

Tulay ran away and told them he had beat her, and that she would rather be taken into care than return home, before being persuaded to go back by her mother.

After the case, Nuray Guler, Tulay's older sister, called on her father to tell the family where she was buried.

She said: 'For my father, I have only one request. I ask that he finally discloses the whereabouts of my sister.

'I wake up at night wondering where Tulay may be. In quiet moments during the day I ask myself if she suffered or knew what was in store for her.

'I ask that he put an end to the nightmares that haunt us and allow us to retrieve Tulay in order that she may rest in peace alongside her sister Hatice.'

Hatice died in a car crash seven years after her sister went missing.Read more:

Film of 'terror targets' released

Police have released footage which they say was made by a suspected terror cell filming potential targets.

They believe an Algerian gang was conducting reconnaissance for a plot to target train stations in London.

It was released amid a continuing row with photographers over the rights to take pictures in public places.

Previous terror cases have involved potential bombers who filmed targets, but campaigners say terror laws are being use to harass photographers.

City of London Police released the footage of what it called "hostile reconnaissance" to illustrate why police may stop photographers.

The footage was recorded on a man's mobile phone as he travelled around London in July, 2008.

Five men were arrested after he was caught filming and acting suspiciously at Liverpool Street station, police said.

Shopping centres

The footage showed him examining Oxford Circus, Mornington Crescent and Camden Town Tube stations. He had filmed underground maps and lifts, CCTV cameras, entrances and exits of stations.

Extensive footage was also recorded at Liverpool Street railway station and at the Broadgate Circle shopping and restaurant plaza.

Police discovered the gang also visited shopping centres in Hatfield, Hertfordshire, Bluewater in Kent, and Bridgend, south Wales.

Two men were subsequently convicted of a huge mobile phone and luxury goods fraud scam and deported after serving prison sentences.

The police said the CPS had decided there was sufficient evidence to bring terrorism charges, but it was not in the public interest because they would have received the same sentence as for fraud.

Police believe the men may have been a fundraising and research arm of an al Qaeda-linked group in North Africa.

Det Supt Chris Greany, head of counter-terrorism at City of London Police, said: "Hostile reconnaissance footage is a tradable commodity within terrorist circles.

"The actual attack team do not have to expose themselves to the risk of being disrupted. We want to set a balance between the challenges of policing and legitimate photography by tourists and the media."

Police discovered that the 7 July 2005 London suicide bombers carried out reconnaissance of the Underground trains network prior to their attacks, one of the trips being a week before they struck.

Law 'misused'

The National Union of Journalists and the British Press Photographers' Association claim counter-terrorism laws are being used to harass photographers.

In some cases photographers' images are deleted or individuals told photography of public buildings and officers in uniform is banned.

A demonstration over the issue took place in February, with hundreds of photographers gathering outside New Scotland Yard.

They said an amendment to the Counter Terrorism Act 2008 could be interpreted as banning photographs of police and certain places and leave them open to arrest.

Shami Chakrabarti of Liberty said the law has "always been an accident waiting repeatedly to happen" and Parliament should step in to revise it.

NUJ General Secretary Jeremy Dear said: "We need senior officers to ensure that police on the ground respect the rights of journalists and members of the public. That basic fact isn't changed by any of the information released today."

Hoteliers accused of insulting Muslim received death threats

Big surprise here. Who ever heard of a devout Muslim sending hate mail?

More on this story. "Christian hoteliers received violent threats over Muslim guest 'insult,'" by Jonathan Wynne-Jones in the Telegraph,

Christian hoteliers Ben and Sharon Vogelenzang have received hate mail after they were accused of insulting a Muslim guest because of her faith.

The couple said they have been "living a nightmare" since they were charged in July with a "religiously-aggravated" offence of causing harassment, alarm or distress.

In an interview with The Sunday Telegraph, the couple have told of their relief at being cleared of insulting Ericka Tazi, a Muslim woman who was staying at their hotel.

They said that they had suffered emotionally and financially since the prosecution began, received threats warning they would be attacked and nearly lost their business due to an 80 per cent decline in takings at their nine-bedroom hotel, the Bounty House in Aintree, Liverpool.

"The last nine months have been a nightmare for us," said Mr Vogelenzang.
"We've been drained emotionally and financially. We have, sadly, received some threats and hate mail. That has been upsetting.

"Our business has almost been destroyed."...

The hotel had been reliant for much of its business on a local hospital, which routinely referred outpatients to stay, but hospital chiefs put a stop to this once they heard about the court case....

Treasury rewriting Britain's tax laws to accommodate Sharia finance

THE Treasury plans to rewrite Britain's tax rules to usher in a new wave of Sharia law for the country's financial system.

The one-line revelation is buried in the 212-page pre-Budget report.

It is among a string of startling details which barely merit a mention in Alistair Darling's controversial mini-Budget - prompting fresh accusations that Labour is "burying bad news".
The Government wants to tap into the fast-growing Sharia finance market, set to top £205billion a year, and turn London into the "global gateway for Islamic finance".

Many conventional financial products are not Sharia compliant because Muslim clerics view conventional loans, which involve interest payments, as sinful.

The UK Government was one of the first Western countries to issue a state-backed sukuk, an Islamic bond. It now wants to rewrite tax laws to stop Muslim businessmen being unfairly taxed when they try to raise money on their companies.

Conventional loans allow them to take equity out of their business, using the property as collateral, but to be Sharia compliant a Muslim "sells" the business to the bank and then rents it back. That leaves the businessman facing a bill for capital gains tax and the Treasury wants to level the tax playing field.

Mohammed Amin, head of Islamic finance at PricewaterhouseCoopers, said: "The UK has become the leading Western country in Islamic finance by taking a series of measures to ensure that Islamic finance is taxed no worse and no better than conventional finance.

"The pre-Budget report continues this progress by including measures to equalise the tax treatment of property refinancing transactions." Ministers are also considering issuing Government bonds to Islamic banks to help them comply with new financial regulations....

Britain's tolerance of Islam results in more than 1m Muslims setting up home here

More than a million Muslims have migrated to Britain because it is more sympathetic towards Islam than other European countries, a study has found.

Latent Islamophobia in Europe means that many of those who move to the continent eventually end up in Britain, because it is seen as more tolerant.

There are now some 1.1million Muslim immigrants in the UK, according to the report by IPPR, the Blairite think tank.

It means around 46 per cent of Britain's 2.4million-strong Muslim population were not born in this country.

Meanwhile another study has found that Muslims in this country are the most patriotic in Europe: with more than three-quarters identifying themselves as British.

The report, funded by billionaire George Soros, found that just 49 per cent of French Muslims and 23 per cent of Germans identified with their home country.

However, the IPPR report concludes that the influx of different religions is having a massive affect on faith in Britain.

Some 4.5million of the UK's foreign-born population claim to have a religious affiliation. Of these, around a quarter are Muslim while more than half are Christian - with Polish Catholics and African Pentecostals among the fastest-growing groups.

• 'Our faith is being targeted .... and we've been thrown to the lions': the Christian hoteliers accused of insulting Muslim guest reveal

While traditional churchgoing is on the decline in the UK over the past decade, the latest immigrants mean Christianity is becoming more charismatic and fundamentalist.

The figures are based on interviews carried out for the annual Labour Force Survey by the Office for National Statistics.

The IPPR report found that over the past decade, there has been an increase of 275,000 in the number of British residents born in Pakistan or Bangladesh - twice the population of Oxford.

The number of Somali-born residents has also shot up, from fewer than 40,000 in 1999 to 106,700 this year.

The report says that many of the new immigrants are migrating here after first settling in other European countries, where they are subject to 'latent homophobia'.

'Migration has caused an increase in the proportions of the population affiliated to non-Christian faiths,' the report concludes.

Catholicism has also seen a resurgence, thanks to the arrival of almost 600,000 from Poland, Lithuania and Slovakia; while there has also been a rise in evangelical churches which tend to have less liberal views on issues like homosexuality.

'Perhaps the most significant change has been the growth of Pentecostal and charismatic Christianity within migrant populations, particularly those from Africa and Latin America,' the report found.

'In Lewisham, there are 65 Pentecostal churches serving the Nigerian community, and others serving the Congolese, Ghanaian and Ivorian communities.'

Professor Mike Kenny of IPPR said: 'The research shows that recent waves of inward migration have given a boost to some of the UK's established faith communities at a time when Britain's society and culture are generally more secular, and smaller numbers of the indigenous population are regularly attending churches.

'Recent migration trends are altering the faith map of the UK. Their biggest impact is being felt in some of our largest cities: London above all, where a rich mosaic of different faith communities has come into being.'

Sir Andrew Green, chairman of Migrationwatch, said: 'The rapid rise in the Muslim population is just one way in which mass immigration promoted, even encouraged, by this Government has affected the whole nature of society.'

George Soros's report found that, while British Muslims are the most patriotic in Europe, more than a quarter in some parts of the country still do not feel British.

Levels of patriotism are higher among second-generation Muslims. In Leicester, 94 per cent of UK-born Muslims felt British, compared to 72 per cent of those born abroad.

Patriotic pride

The percentage of Muslims in each European city who identify with their country of residence:

Leicester - 82.4%

London - 72.0 %

Amsterdam - 59.0 %

Marseilles - 58.0%

Antwerp - 55.1%

Paris - 41.0%

Stockholm - 41.0%

Copenhagen - 39.6%

Single mother of eight living in a £2.6m mansion - so much for Labour's housing benefit crackdown

A year after the Government vowed to crack down on housing benefits, a single mother of eight is still living in a £2.6million mansion funded by taxpayers.

Francesca Walker receives more than £90,000 a year in housing allowance to meet the rent on the five-bedroom villa, plus other payouts of £15,000.

A defiant Miss Walker, 34, insists that she and her children aged from six to 16 are completely justified in living there as the council could not find them a big enough home.

And, bizarrely, she claims that 'living in this house is holding me back'.

Francesca Walker with Mohammed, daughter Rashida and son Moustapha in her £2.6million mansion

Miss Walker, whose near neighbours include David Cameron, Elle Macpherson and Hugh Grant, said: 'I've started my own business making organic soaps and bath products but any money I make I have to pay straight back to the council so there's no incentive for me to work hard to grow my business.

'Lovely though the house is, I'd prefer to live in a cheaper one. But I had to move from my old flat as gangs kicked my door down and harassed my children.'

The four-storey villa in Notting Hill, West London, which costs taxpayers £7,600 a month, has five bedrooms, three bathrooms, a double living room, study and roof terrace.

'This house is lovely and spacious, and with three bathrooms we don't have to queue in the mornings,' added Miss Walker.

'If it seems like I've landed on my feet, I have. But I can't afford to buy a house myself and I can't work because I have eight children to look after.

'Where would people rather my family was - out on the street?'


The imposing Kensington house where Miss Walker and her family live

Miss Walker was given the house last September on a three-year lease because a rule introduced in April 2008 forces local authorities to place tenants in private properties if suitable council homes are unavailable.

This was intended to promote fairness but has caused, in some cases, huge cost to the taxpayer.

Last month, it was revealed that a Somali family of nine are living in a £1.8million central London house costing £1,600 a week.

And a family of eight Afghan immigrants have been housed for the last 14 months in a £ 1.2million house in Ealing, West London, at a cost so far of £168,000.

While then Work and Pensions Secretary James Purnell said he would crack down on the failing system last year, little seems to have been done although a Government source said yesterday that a crackdown on high rates of housing allowance would be announced this week.

Miss Walker said: 'It's great living here, obviously, but it's ridiculous that the Government have housed me here as it's a complete waste of money.

'The benefits system in this country is a joke'

'There are a lot of people who defraud the system and abuse it - it's not difficult to take advantage of it.'

Miss Walker, a Muslim convert, was brought up by her Jamaican-born mother after they were abandoned by her father, a musician.

She was taken into care at 14 when her mother had a nervous breakdown.

She said: 'I lived in three foster homes and moved school five times. By 17, I was living in a children's home with some disreputable characters.

'I was afraid of being abused and becoming a junkie. I began to explore Islam.'

She converted to the religion and had five children with her first husband before divorcing five years later.

She had three more children from a second marriage, which also lasted five years.

Miss Walker insisted: 'I'm the product of a failed society. My family failed me, the council failed me and I failed myself. I should not have married and got pregnant at 17.

'On the other hand, I've never been in trouble with the law, my kids are healthy and well-looked-after, we're moderate Muslims, not extremists, and I'm taking a psychology degree with the Open University so I can be a support worker for families who are socially excluded.'

The property owner Mr Armstrong, who lived there with his wife and three children before moving to a nearby borough, declined to comment.

Kensington and Chelsea Council originally said it had to house Miss Walker in the borough as her children were all at local schools, but now she has removed them all for home education.

Despite this the council claims there is still nothing it can do and it is just 'following Government rules'.

Misunderstander of Islam guilty of plotting "deadly terror attack"

It's too bad, isn't it, that all the self-righteous self-proclaimed Muslim moderates who spend so much time trying to show that what this site says about Islam is wrong don't spend any time at all trying to convince Muslims who somehow get the crazy idea that Islam teaches violence and supremacism that they're getting their peaceful religion all wrong, wrong wrong."Briton guilty of plotting 'deadly terror attack,'" from the BBC,

A British Muslim has been convicted of conspiring to murder civilians in a "deadly terrorist attack".

Adam Khatib, 22, a factory worker from Walthamstow, east London, was part of a terror cell run from Pakistan.

The cell was led by Abdullah Ahmed Ali convicted of plotting to blow up transatlantic passenger airliners.

Co-defendant Nabeel Hussain was found guilty of engaging in preparing terror acts and Shamin Uddin was convicted of possessing terror items, namely a CD....

Prosecutor Peter Wright QC said: "Khatib may not have been informed of the ultimate target, namely passenger aircraft... all that was required of him was an agreement to play his part in bringing about the murder of others."

The court heard that Khatib had became fascinated by radical Islam as a teenager.

Signing one of his school assignments "Adam Osama Bin Laden," Khatib became a cause for concern to teachers worried about his increasingly extreme views, including anti-Semitic outbursts in the classroom....

Though it is not known what the two did during their time in Pakistan, Mr Wright told Woolwich Crown Court: "They may have been home-grown but the direction of these young men came from Pakistan."

Maybe. But it certainly came from the Qur'an and Sunnah. Of course, Mr. Wright would never wish to say anything about that: it could get him charges of "Islamophobia."

UK couple cleared of insulting Muslim hotel guest

A small victory for sanity and the freedom of speech. It is absurd that charges were brought against them in the first place, but such is the Islamic victimhood industry. An update on this story. "Hotelier Ben Vogelenzang cleared of insulting Muslim guest,

A district judge yesterday questioned the character of a Muslim convert as he dismissed the case against husband-and-wife Christian hoteliers accused of offending her new-found religion.

Why is a Sharia prohibition a criminal offense in Britain?

Ericka Tazi, 60, who converted when she married a Muslim man, had claimed that Ben Vogelenzang, 53, had called her a terrorist and compared Muhammad to a warlord when she wore a hijab on the last day of her stay at the Bounty House Hotel in Liverpool last March. She also claimed that his wife, Sharon, 54, told her that wearing such a garment represented a form of bondage, or oppression, in a finger-pointing tirade that left her traumatised.

Poor little lamb. Even if this account of events is true, why is it such a big deal? Why not just check out of the hotel and resolve not to return? Why not just decide that the Vogelenzangs are thoughtless boors and tell all your friends not to stay at the Bounty House when in Beatlesville? Why the incredible thin skin? It is continually noteworthy that Muslims all too often present themselves either as bloodthirsty, violent thugs, or as cringing weaklings who are "traumatized" by an unkind word. It would be refreshing to hear from some Muslim spokesmen who would say to Ericka Tazi, "Oh, grow up!" -- but I am not holding my breath.

After a two-day trial, Richard Clancy, a district judge sitting at Liverpool Magistrates' Court, threw out the allegations of religiously aggravated threatening behaviour, suggesting that Mrs Tazi's account could not be relied upon and that she was not quite the religious person that she presented herself as in the witness box.

Shock horror!

The case is being seen as a victory for free speech and liberty by evangelical groups, notably the Christian Institute, which sponsored the defence costs. It is likely to cause widespread alarm in the Muslim community.

It is a victory for free speech, and it should cause alarm in the Muslim community, as a sign that their tried-and-true tactics of bullying and intimidation, and manipulation of the ridiculous culture of victimization that prevails in the UK and the US today, will not always be successful.

The 15-minute incident came as Mrs Tazi, who suffers from fibromyalgia, came down to breakfast at the hotel at the end of a four-week course of pain management at Aintree Hospital. She decided to wear her hijab, the traditional Islamic dress, in celebration.

Mrs Tazi, a mother from Warrington, Cheshire, claimed that Mr Vogelenzang was transformed into a "whirling dervish", likened Muhammad to warlords down the ages and asked her: "Are you a terrorist or a murderer?"

Mr Vogelenzang denied the allegation and suggested that it was Mrs Tazi who had provoked the confrontation by stating that Jesus was a minor prophet and the Bible was not true.

Hugh Tomlinson, QC, the couple's counsel, said that it could not be objectionable under the laws of England that a person believed that women in Islam were oppressed. Even if it was said that Muhammad was a warlord, this could not be deemed offensive.

Indeed. For Muhammad was a warlord. Once it becomes "offensive" to speak the truth and this "offense" is given criminal penalties, we are done for.

"The fact that someone is upset or offended is not a reason for criminalising the speech used by the other person," he said. Dismissing the case, Mr Clancy said that it was often the case that religion and politics were the tinderbox that set the whole thing alight. "It would appear that is what has happened here," he said....

Muslim Gang Busted for Spree of Child Rapes...

Eight men are due in court this morning, charged in connection with a police investigation into alleged serious sexual offences in Rotherham.

The men were all arrested in March this year and had been on police bail until yesterday.

Following consultation with the Crown Prosecution Service, all eight were charged yesterday with a total of 18 sexual offences against four girls aged 13 to 17 years, and remanded in custody.
The men due before Rotherham magistrates this morning are:

Shazad Akbar, aged 22, of Shirecliffe Lane, Shirecliffe, Sheffield, charged with raping a woman aged over 16;
Adil Hussain, 20, of Nelson Street, Rotherham town centre, charged with raping a girl aged 13 to 15;
Saeed Hussain, 28, of Hatherley Road, Eastwood, Rotherham, charged with inciting a girl aged 13 to 15 to engage in sexual activity;
Shaizaad Hussain, 21, of Clough Road, Masborough, Rotherham, charged with two offences of raping a girl aged 13 to 15;
Mohsin Khan, 21, of Haworth Crescent, Moorgate, Rotherham, charged with four offences of raping a girl aged 13 to 15, and one offence of rape of a woman aged over 16;
Zafran Ramzan, 21, of Broom Grove, Broom, Rotherham, charged with three offences of rape of a woman aged over 16, and one offence of raping a girl aged 13 to 15;
Razwan Razaq, 29, of Oxford Street, Clifton, Rotherham, charged with two offences of rape of a girl aged 13 to 15;
Umar Razaq, 23, of Oxford Street, Clifton, Rotherham, charged with raping a woman aged over 16 and engaging in sexual activity with a girl aged 13 to 15.

A ninth man arrested was subsequently released without charge.

The despicable muslim Rape Jihad continues in Britain. Once again young, vulnerable white British girls are plundered like war booty by muslim men. For that is just what this girls are = war booty = as muslims continue their invasion and colonisation of Great Britain bringing with them their contempt for the Western world and it's indigenous people, culture and customs - particularly women and girls.

The government and social policies of multiculturalism and appeasement have given muslims a sense of entitlement to all things British - from sponging off taxpayer paid benefits to establishing no-go areas for white British to the rampant raping and beating of British women and children. Meanwhile the police and courts continue to coddle muslims whilst the media keeps muslim criminals identities frequently out of the front pages of national newspapers.

Search for muslim rape or rape jihad in the blogosphere - and the truth about muslim crime quickly becomes glaringly evident.

I (and many other bloggers) have written extensively about the muslim rape of British women and children - and yes - even men.

British women pay high price for multiculturalism.

Wales to Get Sharia Law Court...

Wales could get its first court based on Islamic law under proposals from a Muslim body, BBC Wales has learned.

A Sharia law tribunal in Cardiff will help community relations and give some Muslims services they want, supporters have told the Dragon's Eye programme.

But the Ministry of Justice said that Sharia law "has no jurisdiction in England and Wales".
A spokesperson said: "Regardless of religious belief we are all equal before the law".

“ What we are trying to do is help the third or fourth generation British Muslims who are growing up to give them the services necessary to make Britain their homeland, rather than saying we actually want to ghettoise ourselves ” Shaykh Siddiqi, Muslim Arbitration Tribunal

Some commentators, such as the think-tank Civitas, say a Muslim arbitration tribunal undermines the concept of one law for UK citizens.

A women's group said it was not needed and women may not be treated fairly.

A tribunal has been proposed for the middle of next year, and its backers say it will bring the law and Muslim faith together.

There are already seven such tribunals in England when two parties facing marital, financial and other disputes come before experts in Islamic and UK law.

Both parties must agree to allow the tribunal to sit in judgement.

Shaykh Siddiqi, of the tribunal, said: "What we are trying to do is help the third or fourth generation British Muslims who are growing up to give them the services necessary to make Britain their homeland, rather than saying we actually want to ghettoise ourselves."

“ Nothing in the law of England and Wales prevents people abiding by Sharia principles if they wish, provided their actions do not conflict with English and Welsh law ” Ministry of Justice

The Ministry of Justice said: "Communities have the option to use religious councils and to agree to abide by their decisions. These decisions are subject to national law and cannot be enforced through the national courts, save in limited circumstances."

"There may be incompatibilities between English and religious laws and the parties should always have the option to refer to the English or Welsh family courts should they wish to do.

"Any member of any community should know that they have the right to refer to an English or Welsh court at any point, particularly in the event that they feel pressured or coerced to resolve an issue in a way with which they feel uncomfortable.
'Shoved to one side'

"We are proud of our diverse society and are committed to ensuring cohesive communities. Nothing in the law of England and Wales prevents people abiding by Sharia principles if they wish, provided their actions do not conflict with English and Welsh law."

The ministry said these tribunals were not courts, but instead "a form of "alternative dispute resolution," and communities had "the option to use religious councils and to agree to abide by their decisions".

A recent report by Civitas was critical of Sharia courts, saying they were not in keeping with UK legal principles.

Denis MacEoin, of Civitas, said: "It is Sharia law that is given the prominent position and this effectively means that British law is shoved to one side.

"All citizens have the right to be judged under a single legal system, and that we didn't bring in the legal system by the back door and that is effectively what is happening at the moment."

Some fear that Muslim women may become isolated from their communities if they do not choose the tribunal system.

Marya Shabir, of the Welsh Women's National Coalition, said: "It's being advertised as this opt-in system when it actually isn't.

"If a Muslim woman is given the option of using a Muslim Arbitration Tribunal over going through the courts system using the law of England and Wales; there's no question as to which system she's going to use.

"If she doesn't go with the Muslim Arbitration Tribunal, she is going to face stigmatisation, she will be ostracised by her community, her peers, her family who believe she is turning her back on the community."

Only Islamophobes oppose this sort of thing, right? Wrong. As one Muslim woman who opposes the plan said, "It's being advertised as this opt-in system when it actually isn't."
That's true not only on an individual level, but for the broader process of creeping Sharia in the West.

UK to Monitor Nursery-Age Tots for Islamist 'Brain-Washing'...

Nursery-age children should be monitored for signs of brainwashing by Islamist extremists, according to a leaked police memo obtained by The Times.

In an e-mail to community groups, an officer in the West Midlands counter-terrorism unit wrote: “I do hope that you will tell me about persons, of whatever age, you think may have been radicalised or be vulnerable to radicalisation ... Evidence suggests that radicalisation can take place from the age of 4.”

The police unit confirmed that counter-terrorist officers specially trained in identifying children and young people vulnerable to radicalisation had visited nursery schools.

The policy was condemned last night. Chris Grayling, the Shadow Home Secretary, said that it ran the risk of “alienating even more people”. Chris Huhne, the Liberal Democrat home affairs spokesman, said that it was an “absurd waste of police time”.

Sir Norman Bettison, who speaks for the Association of Chief Police Officers on Prevent, the Government’s anti-terror strategy, said that the officer’s e-mail was a “clumsy” attempt to explain it.


Sir Norman, the Chief Constable of West Yorkshire, said: “There is absolutely no example, nationally, of the police engaging with nursery-age kids specifically on this issue. That is the age for learning about ‘Stranger Danger’ and ‘The Tufty Club’.”

The Home Office has disclosed, meanwhile, that a seven-year-old has become the youngest child to feature in a scheme to tackle grooming by extremists. David Hanson, the Police Minister, disclosed in a parliamentary answer that the child was one of 228 people referred to the Channel Project, part of Prevent focused on individuals.

More than 90 per cent of those identified by the project have been aged between 15 and 24 and most, but not all, are Muslim.

Criticism of the anti-extremism strategy is growing. The programme, funded from the £3.5 billion per year security budget, is said to stigmatise communities and encourage Muslims to spy on one another.

This week John Denham, the Communities Secretary, said that the programme had to be more transparent to dispel “the fear that by joining a Prevent activity, the organisers or the participants are opening themselves up to covert surveillance, intelligence-gathering and the collection of files on the Muslim communities”.

The e-mail obtained by The Times was written by a sergeant in response to Muslim community concerns. He was trying to allay fears but seems to have inflamed them.

He wrote: “I am a police officer and therefore it will always be part of my role to gather intelligence and I will report back any information or intelligence which may suggest someone is a terrorist, or is planning to be one or to support others. However, my role is to raise the level of awareness of the threat of terrorism and radicalisation and support and work with partners to try to prevent it.”

Arun Kundnani, of the Institute of Race Relations, contacted the officer and said he was told that officers had visited nursery schools. Mr Kundnani added: “He did seem to think it was standard. He said it wasn’t just him or his unit that was doing it. He said the indicators were they [children] might draw pictures of bombs and say things like ‘all Christians are bad’ or that they believe in an Islamic state. It seems that nursery teachers in the West Midlands area are being asked to look out for radicalisation. He also said that targeting young children was important because they would be left aware of what was inappropriate to say at school. He felt that it was necessary to cover nurseries as well as primary and secondary schools. He said it was a precaution and that he wasn’t expecting to come back with a list.”

There have been acute worries about radicalisation in the Birmingham area since a terrorist was caught on a surveillance tape indoctrinating his five-year-old son.

Parviz Khan, who was jailed for plotting to kidnap and behead a British soldier, was heard threatening the boy with a beating if he did not answer questions correctly. “Who do you love?” Kahn asked. “I love Sheikh Osama bin Laden,” the boy answered.

The West Midlands counter-terrorism unit confirmed that its officer had visited a nursery school attached to a primary school and had spoken to staff. The unit said that it had 21 uniformed counter-terrorism officer who engaged openly and directly with communities, schools and other public bodies.

A spokesman said: “We have been trying to bring counter-terrorism work out of the shadows. It can cause consternation at first when a policeman introduces himself as a counter-terrorism officer. But we are actually trying to get over the accusation that Prevent is about spying by being more open and we are reaping the benefits now with better engagement.”

Sir Norman emphasised that Prevent was about working with communities to protect vulnerable young people. “It is no different to addressing the harm of drugs or sexual exploitation,” he said. “Prevent is a way of addressing those most vulnerable in an attempt to protect them.

“It is easy to give Prevent initiatives a kicking because it is viewed as intrusive but, the next time there is a terrorist outrage involving young people who have been radicalised, there will be a wringing of hands and people will say, ‘What more could we have done?’ ”

Quilliam, an anti-extremism think-tank, told a Commons select committee inquiry: “The notion that Prevent is about surveillance and monitoring of Muslim communities is deeply ingrained in some communities and will be difficult to shift.”

lol do these people read the koran.

Qur'an:8:72
"Those who accepted Islam and left their homes to fight in Allah's Cause with their possessions and persons, and those who gave (them) asylum, aid, and shelter, those who harbored them - these are allies of one another. You are not responsible for protecting those who embraced Islam but did not leave their homes [to fight] until they do so."

Honour crime up by 40% due to rising fundamentalism

Honour-based violence, including crimes like murder, rape and kidnap has rocketed in London during the last year.

Reported instances of intimidation and attempts at forced marriage have also increased by 60 per cent.

A report into the scale of the problem by Scotland Yard found there were 161 honour-based incidents recorded in 2007-8, of which 93 were criminal offences.

But in 2008/9 the number of incidents had risen to 256, with 132 being criminal offences.

The latest figures indicate that the trend is continuing, with 211 incidents reported in the last six months until October, of which 129 were offences - more than double the number in the same period last year.

Police define honour crimes as offences motivated by a desire to protect the honour of a family or community.

Diana Nammi, of the Iranian and Kurdish Women's Rights Organisation, said the group is now dealing with four times more complaints relating to honour than two years ago.

She said: 'More women are coming forward. They are becoming more aware of their rights in the UK, that there is help available and they feel confident enough to report matters to the police.
'But I also think cases and violence are increasing.

'The problem is increasing in communities around the UK.
'We are seeing a rise not only in honour killings, but also in female genital mutilation and polygamy.'

She added: 'The rise in Sharia courts is another indication of more fundamental beliefs.
'There must be more support from the Government to organisations who are working to combat this problem.'

The Metropolitan Police also records incidents where no offences has been committed, such as complaints by women that they are under pressure to enter into forced marriages.

Recently there have been a series of horrific attacks linked to 'honour'.

Detectives are still investigating the death of mother-of-two Geeta Aulakh, 28, who was hacked to death with a sword in Greenford, north west London last month.

An 18-year-old student has been charged with her murder.

In July, a 24-year-old Asian man from Denmark lost part of his tongue and was left blind in one eye when he had acid thrown in his face in Leytonstone.

Police believe he was attacked over his relationship with a married Muslim woman.

Two men are awaiting trial over the assault.

Campaigners believe honour attacks are on the up due to rising fundamentalism in communities around Britain.

Up to 12 people are murdered every year in the name of honour, and police fear a further 500 people are forced into an arranged marriage or attacked.

One of the most high-profile cases was that of Banaz Mahmod who was murdered by members of her own family after falling in love with a man they disapproved of.

The 20-year-old, who had left an arranged marriage and started a relationship with Rhamat Sulemani, 29, was strangled with a bootlace at her home in Surrey in January 2006.

Her father Mahmod Mahmod, 52, and uncle Ari Mahmod, 50, of Mitcham, were later convicted of the killing after the pair decided she must pay 'the ultimate price' for bringing shame on them.
Earlier this year, police were issued with new guidance telling them to assume honour crimes have been committed in more circumstances.

Senior officers anticipated that the move would drive up figures as in many cases only limited information is available or a potential victim refuses to help police.

Detective Chief Inspector Gerry Campbell, of the Metropolitan Police, said: 'The description of this type of crime is misplaced. There is no honour in these crimes.'

Mr Campbell said the Met had improved its intelligence systems to better identify such crimes.
He said: 'Ten years ago our knowledge was almost absent but we have worked hard and our knowledge has improved substantially.'

Nun carjacked

A NUN had her car stolen in a robbery in Levenshulme, Manchester.At about 4.30pm on Wednesday 2 December 2009, the victim - who is a member of Daughters of Charity - was in her Ford Ka, on Rushford Avenue, when she was approached by two men.

The pair were aggressive and demanded she get out of the car. They then escaped in the car, leaving the victim, aged 62, stranded and distraught.

The offenders are described as being Asian or of mixed race and in their late teens or early 20s.

The car was involved in a collision on Dickinson Road at its junction with Whiley Street shortly before 5.15pm the following day, Thursday 3 December 2009.

Three men, described as Asian and about 17-years-old, were seen to run from the car.

Detective Inspector Graham Atherton, from Longsight CID, said: "The victim is a very selfless individual who spends the majority of her time helping others in the community. "She was in fact going about her honourable duties when this incident happened. "As a result she has been left extremely upset and unable to continue her work in the community, meaning local residents will also suffer as a result of this needless and awful incident.

"I am determined to bring those responsible to justice and would ask anyone with information comes forward to police."

Anyone with information is asked to call Longsight CID on 0161 856 1376, or the independent charity Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.

First I want to note the irritating, obfuscating and bordering on pathological use of the term "Asian" - by British newspapers in lieu of the more accurate muslim.Honest journalism has succumbed to dhimmitude and political correctness. I wondered - Do muslims refer to themselves as "Asian"? So I thought I'd check a few muslim online publications to see what people they consider to be "Asian":Al Arabya News Channel - Gulf Daily News - The Voice of Bahrain - Kuwait Arab Times -Crime - The Muslim News

In reviewing the above searches you will find that the vast majority - if not 100% - use the word 'Asian' in regards to China, Japan, Malaysia, etc.

The same countries and people that we all think of when reading the word 'Asian'. So clearly muslims do not refer to themselves as 'Asian'.

Isn't it time that British newspapers stop treating their readers like a bunch of dopes?

It was the holy time, so I had to grope the lady

All right. It was the holy time. So why didn't he think that it would be all right during the holy time to grope this passenger? Could it be because she was just an Infidel whore? The contempt that many Muslim men have for Western non-Muslim women is well documented, after all.

"Ramadan used as defence by cabbie groper," by David Barrett for The Daily Telegraph,

A DISGRACED Muslim taxi driver tried to use the holy time of Ramadan as his defence against allegations he repeatedly grabbed the breast of a disabled female passenger.

Abdul Majid Qazizada, 51, had argued that Ramadan was a time when Muslim men "don't even touch their wives".

He was yesterday found guilty of the aggravated indecent assault of a 23-year-old woman who suffers cerebral palsy and epilepsy.

Magistrate Jennifer Betts said Qazizada claimed he was a devout Muslim who was fasting when the attack occurred in September last year.

" 'Men don't even touch their wives (during Ramadan)', were his words," Ms Betts said in Ryde Local Court.

The court heard how the woman got into Qazizada's taxi to go home after going out with friends at Ryde-Eastwood Leagues Club.

During the short ride home, she felt at first "a little scared", then later "very worried", when Qazizada repeatedly told her: "You're a lovely lady." After parking in the driveway of her home, Qazizada told the woman he would help her get out of the taxi.

As she struggled to get out of his taxi, Qazizada squeezed the woman's breasts several times.
Throughout the assault, he asked the woman: "Are you all right?". Each time she replied: "No."
Qazizada eventually left, saying: "Have a good night."

Muslim politician pelted with eggs by "true Muslims"

As I've pointed out many times, Islamic jihadists and Islamic supremacists claim that they are the true Muslims, the exponents of authentic Islam. They recruit among peaceful Muslims by means of this appeal. And while self-proclaimed moderate Muslims expend immense effort -- notably at this site -- to convince non-Muslims that the jihadist interpretation of Islam is wrong, wrong, wrong, they don't seem to be concerned in the least about trying to convince Muslims like these young egg-throwers that they are misunderstanding the Religion of Peace™.

"British Muslim woman lawmaker pelted with eggs," from PTI, December 1

Baroness Sayeeda Warsi, a Tory lawmaker and one of the most powerful British women politicians faced the ire of fundamentalist men when they pelted eggs on her, claiming she was not a proper Muslim.

Warsi, a member of House of Lords of Pakistani origin, was confronted by the fundamentalist while she was campaigning in Luton, a London suburb who started shouting abuses at her, according to British Television reports.

The protesters took objection and charged that the Baroness was not properly attired and that she supported the death of Muslims in Afghanistan.

But Warsi, stood her ground and challenged the men to a debate on their charges. But the group of men refused to listen to her....

It is a pity that they wouldn't debate. It might have been illuminating.

MORE EGGSCRUCIATING DHIMMIFICATION

I am sure you may have seen this "Tory Muslim Peer pelted with eggs" story. A B-BBC reader points out....

You have to get to the 3rd para before you realise she's been pelted with eggs by fellow Muslims. It could have been the BNP or EDL or even those equally fascist Zionist Jews. But no... So why not,"Muslim protesters pelt tory peer Warsi with eggs" as a headline?

I suggest that the reason is simple - the dhimmified BBC wants to play down the rampant intolerance of a significant section of Muslims living in Britain.

Muslim teen gang members boast about becoming suicide bombers

Youths" misunderstanding Islam and terrorizing the populace, perhaps longing for that virgin-filled Paradise guaranteed to those who "kill and are killed" for Allah (Koran 9:111).
"Birmingham gang warn about becoming Taliban suicide bombers," by Ben Goldby for the Sunday Mercury, November 30

GUN-toting members of a new Birmingham teenage gang are boasting about becoming suicide bombers, it was claimed last night.

The chillingly named Bang Bang Taliban have told community workers they want to dominate the city's gangland - and that they would gladly be "martyred" as Islamist terrorists.

The gang, thought to be linked to the notorious Burger Bar Boys, mainly consists of Asian youngsters from the Handsworth area.

"They're threatening rivals with violence and talking about becoming suicide bombers," said one community worker, who asked not to be named. Their affiliation is with the Burgers, and nine out of 10 of their members will start off as couriers and runners for the bigger gangs.

"It's a real shock to hear them talking about suicide bombings and grinning about it.\

''We have to educate these boys and get into the schools to help stop them getting involved. Someone is influencing these youths, someone is getting them involved in this."...

No kidding, really?

U.K.: Gov't ministers given list of forbidden words and politically correct alternatives for discussing... that certain problem

Partying like it's 1984. Of course, many of these terms are euphemisms employed in the first place to dodge the heart of the matter, Islamic jihad. But euphemisms themselves eventually begin to take on too much of the connotation of the words they replaced, and it's soon time to roll out a fresh batch of non-offensive terminology. Eventually, this list will also require revision and supplementation... at taxpayer expense. But maybe, just maybe, it will keep some Misunderstander of Islam from becoming "radicalized."
No, scratch that. Apparently you can't say "radicalize" now, either. "Don't call extremists 'extremists'," by Graeme Wilson for The Sun, December 4:

MINISTERS have been BANNED from using words like Islamist and fundamentalist - in case they offend Muslims.

An eight-page Whitehall guide lists words they should not use when talking about terrorism in public and gives politically correct alternatives.

They are told not to refer to Muslim extremism as it links Islam to violence. Instead, they are urged to talk about terrorism or violent extremism.

As opposed to violent moderation? Or non-violent extremism? Is the latter ok, then?

Fundamentalist and Jihadi are also banned because they make an "explicit link" between Muslims and terror.

Ministers should say criminals, murderers or thugs instead. Radicalisation must be called brainwashing and talking about moderate or radical Muslims is to be avoided as it "splits the community".

Islamophobia is also out as it is received as "a slur that singles out Muslims".

It's hard to make heads or tails of that one; the use of passive voice doesn't help.

The guide, produced by the secretive Research, Information and Communications Unit in the Home Office, tell ministers to "avoid implying that specific communities are to blame" for terrorism. It says more than 2,000 people are engaged in terror plots.

The guidance was branded "daft" last night by a special adviser to ex-Communities Secretary Hazel Blears. Paul Richards said: "Unless you can describe what you're up against, you're never going to defeat it. Ministers need to be leading the debate on Islamic extremism and they can't do that if they have one hand tied behind their back."

The Home Office said: "This is about using appropriate language to have counter-terrorism impact. It would be foolish to do anything else."

The secret weapon, the fruits of the Manhattan Project of the 21st century: "appropriate language."

'Extremist' row over school funds

A political row has broken out over claims public money was given to two schools which, the Tories say, have links to Islamist group Hizb ut-Tahrir.

Tory leader David Cameron suggested money from an "anti-extremist fund" had been given to "extremists".

But Schools Secretary Ed Balls accused the Conservatives of "playing politics" and making "untrue" allegations.

Hizb ut-Tahrir said it did not run any school and accused Mr Cameron of "bare-faced lies".
The row began at prime minister's questions on Wednesday when Mr Cameron accused the government of allowing the funding of extremism.

'Anti-extremist fund'

He said two schools had been established by "an extremist Islamist foundation" which he said was a "front" for Hizb ut-Tahrir - a legal organisation that former PM Tony Blair had said he would ban.

Mr Cameron asked Prime Minister Gordon Brown: "How can you have an anti-extremist fund that results in a Labour local authority handing out money to extremists?"

"They have secured a total of £113,000 of government money, some of which was from the Pathfinder scheme, whose objective is meant to be preventing violent extremism."

“ There is no evidence at all of extremist activity, they are inspected, they are properly registered, as far as we are aware they are using public money properly ” Ed Balls Schools secretary

Mr Brown said he would look "very carefully" at the allegations. But later Mr Balls said the Tories were wrong in their claims that the schools had not be inspected by Ofsted and were not registered.

He also said Mr Cameron was wrong to suggest they had been given money from the Pathfinder scheme.

He told BBC Radio 4's PM programme that both Slough and Haringey local authorities, where the schools are based, had told him "categorically" that "the only funding they've received is for the care of three and four year old nursery care".

He said both were inspected at his request in 2007 when concerns were first raised and were "registered on a publicly available website".

'Genuinely worrying'

He added: "There is no evidence at all of extremist activity, they are inspected, they are properly registered, as far as we are aware they are using public money properly."

He said: "I think David Cameron and [shadow schools secretary] Michael Gove have made a massive misjudgement today... to play politics when you don't know the facts is a very very dangerous thing to do and I think that's what they've done today."

But Mr Gove told the BBC: "We know that they have received public funding and we know that the charity concerned has links with Hizb ut-Tahrir."

He added: "It seems to be genuinely worrying."

Haringey Council said it launched an investigation into claims about the school in its area on 26 October and funding had been suspended pending the outcome.

“ Our school is being used as part of a wider political agenda and this type of vilification of the Muslim community needs to stop ” Farah Ahmed Head teacher

But a spokesman said "no evidence was found to suggest inappropriate content or influence in the school" and it had told them "that it no longer has any links with any of the individuals who are alleged to have connections with Hizb ut-Tahrir".

"We are waiting for evidence from the school that the reported connections have been completely severed," he said.

Meanwhile the head teacher of the school in Slough, Farah Ahmed, said: "Our school is being used as part of a wider political agenda and this type of vilification of the Muslim community needs to stop."

She added: "We would expect politicians to check the accuracy of the information they receive before using it. No-one from the Conservative Party has contacted the school to verify information."

In 2005 Tony Blair suggested he would ban the Islamist organisation, but later dropped the idea.

Hizb ut-Tahrir is an international Sunni political party whose goal is to combine all Muslim countries in a unitary Islamic state or caliphate, ruled by Islamic law and with a caliph head of state elected by Muslims.Its anti-Semitism has resulted in the group being banned in Germany and on some British university campuses....

The group denies links to terrorism and says it opposes violence, but does campaign for an Islamic state across the Middle East.

In a statement it accused Mr Cameron of "baseless allegations" and said it never accepted funding from government.

Spokesman Taji Mustafa said it was a political party that did not run schools, adding: "David Cameron's bare faced lies that Hizb ut-Tahrir runs schools, receives government funding and promotes hatred and violence are another desperate attempt to boost Conservative poll ratings."

In the Commons the Conservative leader also asked Mr Brown why the group had not been banned. Mr Brown said that "proscription should be on the basis of evidence, that was clearly proven, about advocating violence".

Four Misunderstanders of Islam face "terror-related charges"

Four Britons have been charged with terror offences following raids last week.
Israr Malik, 21, of Fallowfield, Greater Manchester, is charged with intending to commit acts of terrorism.

Matthew Newton, 27, of Stalybridge, Munir Farooqi, 52, of Longsight, and Haris Farooqi, 26, of Levenshulme, are accused of intending to assist others to commit acts of terrorism.

Officers from the North West Counter Terrorism Unit detained the men in what was described as a 'low key operation' following a 15-month investigation into a plot to commit 'violent jihad'.
Newton was reported to have previously run a clothing business with the son of the former Celebrity Big Brother winner Bez of the Happy Mondays band.

All four are due to appear at City of Westminster Magistrates' Court in London today.

Munir Farooqi, who is the father of Haris Farooqi, was also charged with three counts of soliciting or encouraging another to murder on three separate dates.

Muslim cleric Shaykh Asif Hussain Farooqui, from Bolton, was yesterday released without charge and thanked those who had called for his freedom.

Up to 2,000 people signed online petitions which called for the release of the scholar who is a member of the Al Rahman Mosque in Daubhill.

Campaigners expressed their 'outrage' that the 'well-respected figure' in the Muslim community in Bolton had been detained. Some protested outside Greater Manchester Police's headquarters hours before he was released.

Shaykh Farooqui, who is not related to any of the charged men, was arrested at his home in Deane.

In a statement, he thanked his legal team, police custody staff - who he said respected his religion - and those who prayed and fasted for his 'speedy release'.

He added: 'I also extend my heartfelt gratitude to all those individuals who have signed petitions, organisations who have written letters and politicians who have shown unwavering support.

'Regarding the matter for which I have been arrested, I have from the very outset - from my arrest to the conclusion of my detention - maintained my innocence.

'I understand the need for the police to maintain law and order, and protect us all.

'However, I am a man of peace. All who know me, and know of me, know this to be true. I encourage people to follow the teachings of Islam and devote their lives to the remembrance of the Creator, to become good Muslims and law-abiding citizens of this country. This time in detention I believe has been a great lesson to us all.

'I am anxious to return to my family and congregation and would be grateful if my privacy could be respected.'

His solicitor, Nasir Hafezi, said: 'Shaykh Asif Hussain Farooqui is a man of immaculate good character and is held in the highest esteem within the Muslim community.

'While in detention the Shaykh continued persistently to maintain his complete innocence with regard to the unfounded allegations of terrorism against him.

He is obviously relieved to be released from police custody and while he was treated well by the custody staff it is clear to anyone who knows, loves and respects the Shaykh that he should never have been arrested in the first place.

'There is a message for our society as a whole that when the police so fundamentally fail to consider all of the available information, which is often easily accessible, then anyone, irrespective of their religion or standing in the community, can be arrested and detained for lengthy periods under the terror laws.

Bluewater bomb plot terrorist sues Government over torture claims

An Al Qaeda terrorist serving a life sentence for his part in planning a fertiliser bomb attack on mainland Britain is suing security services and the Government for up to £50,000 over claims he was tortured in Pakistan.

Salahuddin Amin, 34, from Luton, Bedfordshire, has issued a High Court writ against MI5 chief Jonathan Evans, the incoming head of MI6 Sir John Sawers, the Home Office, the Foreign Office and Attorney General Baroness Scotland.

He is expected to receive thousands of pounds in legal aid, although his lawyers say they will work for nothing on a substantial part of his case.

After a 12-month trial, Amin was convicted in 2007, along with four other men, of planning to bomb the Bluewater shopping centre in Kent, the Ministry of Sound nightclub in Central London, the gas or electricity network and Parliament during Prime Minister’s Questions.

The group, some of whom met two of the July 7 London suicide bombers, had bought 1,300lb of ammonium nitrate fertiliser from an agricultural merchant to prepare for their attacks. Amin was said to have provided the terrorists with a formula to make the bombs.

Now he claims that after fleeing to Pakistan in 2004 he surrendered to the Pakistani Secret Intelligence Service who he says repeatedly tortured him, forcing him to give false confessions before he was deported back to Britain.

He alleges MI5 and other sections of the UK Government turned a blind eye and, possibly, instigated his torture, which he claims included being whipped, suspended by his wrists from the ceiling and being threatened with a drill.

MI5 does not deny questioning Amin several times during his detention in Pakistan. Under the 1988 Criminal Justice Act, it is an offence for British officials to instigate or consent to the inflicting of ‘severe pain or suffering’ on anyone, anywhere in the world, or to agree to such treatment.

At his trial the judge, Sir Michael Astill, accepted Amin had been mistreated but said he believed
the claims had been exaggerated. Sir Michael added that the men, who are all British citizens, had ‘betrayed their country’.

Amin was born in London, moving to Pakistan aged four. He gained a degree in product design engineering but became radicalised and spent time at the controversial Finsbury Park Mosque in North London, where he met hook-handed terrorist Abu Hamza.

The case – one of 15 in which British agents have been accused of complicity in torture – has been assigned to High Court procedural judge Master Leslie.

He will hear initial details of the action before deciding how and when it should proceed.
Amin has paid a High Court fee of £760 to issue his writ. This is split between a £360 fee for a cash claim of between £15,000 and £50,000 and £400 for a non-financial claim, usually an injunction.

Tayab Ali, one of Amin’s legal team, said last night: ‘This case is not about money. What we are looking for is to hold the people who are guilty of being complicit in this torture to be accountable for their actions.’

A Home Office spokesman said: ‘There is not a shred of evidence to support these allegations. We utterly refute them and we will robustly defend ourselves in court.

Terror suspects under surveillance get £650,000 in taxpayer handouts to pay for living expenses

Terror suspects placed under police surveillance have received more than £650,000 in living expenses including household bills and telephone costs, it emerged last night.

Twenty four suspects under control orders - given to those who are thought to be a grave danger to national security but cannot be prosecuted by the courts - have on average received £25,000, according to official figures.

Control orders can take a number of forms from curfews of 12 hours or more to near house arrest as well as the use of electronic tags and a ban on internet access.

Being watched: 24 suspects under police surveillance have on average received £120-a-week expenses to cover household bills and other costs since 2007

If suspects can claim that the terms of their order prevent them from getting a job, they are then entitled to receive handouts to cover their living costs, including rent, council tax, utility bills and telephone costs.

Home Office figures, obtained by the Conservatives, showed taxpayers have spent £656,500 on the living costs of terror suspects subject to control orders since 2005.

Conservatives say the sums spent were the equivalent of £120 per week for each of the 24 held under the controversial system.

The terror suspects qualify for free phone rental and calls, and have their gas, electric bills paid. They are also entitled to housing support and payments if they are refugees claiming asylum.

Separate figures released under the Freedom of Information Act reveal that the total cost to the Home Office of the control orders regime since April 2006 is £9.4million.

The figures were uncovered by the Conservatives who argue they bolster the argument for scrapping control orders and putting suspects on trial.

Shadow Security Minister Baroness Neville-Jones said: 'Control orders deny due process to the defendant, do not provide a reliable remedy to the security problem posed by terrorist suspects, and on top of all that cost hundreds of thousands of pounds.

'A Conservative government would review the morally objectionable and costly control order regime with a view, consistent with the security situation, to replacing it by the trial of suspects through the normal court system.’

The figures were obtained through a freedom of information request.

In September Home Secretary Alan Johnson ordered a wholesale review of the control orders regime following a House of Lords ruling that anyone placed under an order without knowing the basis for it was being denied a fair hearing.

Two have so far been revoked as a result.

A Home Office spokesman defended control orders.
He said: 'The UK faces a real and serious threat from terrorism.
'We need to protect individual liberty whilst maintaining our nation's security. We must protect the most important of civil liberties - the right to life - whilst also protecting our other fundamental values.

'This is a challenge for any government but the UK Government has sought to find that balance at all times.

‘The protection of human rights is a key principle underpinning our counter-terrorism work at home and overseas.

'Terrorists are criminals who seek to undermine these rights and values.

'When dealing with suspected terrorists, prosecution is, and will continue to be, our preferred approach.

‘Where we cannot prosecute, and the individual concerned is a foreign national, we look to detain and then deport them.

'For those we cannot either prosecute or deport, control orders are the best available disruptive tool for managing the risk they pose.'

Some suspected terrorists are believed to have spent nearly four years on a control order.

The orders are given if evidence against suspects has, for example, been obtained using intercept techniques not admissible in court.

They are also served on international extremists who can't be deported on human rights grounds.

Qur'an Teacher, Preacher Arrested in UK Terror Bust...

A RELIGIOUS leader is among five men arrested on suspicion of terrorism. The Muslim preacher and three others were arrested in raids across Greater Manchester .

The man, who has not been named, teaches the Koran at a number of mosques across the region. The 62-year-old was arrested at his home on Willows Lane, Deane, Bolton.

"I'm surprised. He carries out spiritual sessions twice-a-week. He is very spiritual," said one source within the Muslim community.

Investigation It is understood this morning's raids were part of an investigation into terror training camps in Afghanistan which may have led to a terror plot overseas.

Police sources have stressed the threat was not 'imminent' nor aimed at the UK. The Counter Terrorism Unit of Greater Manchester Police swooped on the addresses from around 4am.

The raids were culmination of a year-long investigation into the recruitment here of would-be terrorists for training in Afghanistan.

The five men have been arrested on suspicion of terrorism and also inciting an act of terrorism overseas. First, police swooped on three addresses in Manchester and one in Bolton at around 4am.

Another man, 27, was arrested in a later raid in Rydal Walk, Stalybridge. Police have said more arrests could follow.

Around 40 unarmed officers were involved in the raids and they are now searching the properties. The raids took place at a mobile phone shop and the flat above on Stockport Road, Levenshulme.

No-one was arrested at these properties. Police arrested a 52-year-old man at a house on Victoria Terrace, Longsight, and a 21-year-old man at a property on Bowdon Avenue, Fallowfield.

Later police arrested a 26-year-old man at a hotel near Heathrow Airport. Scene of crime officers were today continuing to search the Greater Manchester properties.

Police are looking for computers, laptops and computers. A neighbour on Bowdon Avenue, Fallowfield, said: "The family have been here for about 20 years. There are eight children.Hectic

"I got up at up at six o'clock this morning, looked out of my window and saw about 12 to 16 police officers coming out of the house. The scene was hectic. I shouted at my husband to come and look because something was going on. I thought it must have been serious because the amount of police that were there.

"This is a quiet street. It's probably one of the most quiet in Fallowfield so it's really shocking that something like this would happen here. "They are a quiet family. They keep themselves to themselves." A neighbour in Victoria Terrace, Longsight, said a man lived in the neat terraced house which was raided with his wife, two daughters and a son. He said: "They have lived there for about five years and seemed okay to me.

They were always quiet and nice so this has come as a big surprise. I am absolutely gob smacked." Solicitor Shabnam Yunis, 26, from Mustafa Solicitors, works a few doors away from Efones, on Stockport Road, Longsight, which was raided along with the flat above, said: "The two lads who own the shop are really decent friendly lads. I am really shocked.

You just don't expect anything like this going on. It is normally a quiet and respectable area."Concern Assistant Chief Constable Dave Thompson said: "Protecting people both at home and abroad is our primary concern which is why we take such steps.

"This is a complex and ongoing investigation, which has now reached the point where it was necessary to make arrests and speak to a number of people. "There was no direct threat against Greater Manchester and the arrests are the latest stage of a thorough investigation. We have been liaising with local people to provide reassurance about what has happened and will continue to keep a high profile presence in affected areas.

"Officers will also be distributing letters around the areas concerned and speaking to residents to let people know what has happened and to ask them to continue to work with us in the coming days. "The community will be concerned that these arrests caused disruption and distress to people living there.

There is no suggestion that those other people were involved in any offences and our priority is to look after these people."

So much "misunderstanding" of Islam's purportedly peaceful and tolerant message: Funny how that keeps happening.

London Charity Lays Down Sharia Law at Indian Refugee Camp...

A London-based charity that set up a rehabilitation colony for Muslim victims who lost their homes in Gujarat’s 2002 riots is laying down a hard “Sharia law” for those living there — forcing many to pack up and leave.

The Muslim Relief Organisation, run by NRI businessmen in London, built 46 houses in Detral, a village in Bharuch, for families of riot victims.

Now it has imposed a blanket ban on what it calls “shaitani” (devilish) things such as TV, music systems and all forms of electronic entertainment. It has threatened to evict the riot victims if they don’t adhere to these.

Residents have been ordered to stay away from fellow villagers, asked to pray only in the special “Sharia-specified” place of worship built for them and not in any local mosque. Among other diktats, they are also required to wear skull caps and keep long beards.

The notice, accessed by The Sunday Express, reads: “... As per Islamic Shariyat, any person possessing a television, or any other such Shaitani goods in his house, cannot be the beneficiary of money from Zakat, Fitr, Sadka or any Imdaah. Last week, when the committee trustee came down from London, he showed his unhappiness when he saw television antennas and dish connections. So, take notice that within 15 days after receiving this, all televisions must be removed from all houses. If any television is found turned on, or even in a non-use condition, after 15 days, take note that as directed by the trustees from London, we will be forced to take re-possession of those houses. If you want to stay in this colony, all of you will compulsorily remove all televisions from your houses.”

“This land was donated by the elder brother of one of the trustees. These houses are built using zakat money we raised. That’s why everyone has to adhere to these religious rules. Those not following the rules have left,” says the local representative for the sponsors, Bashir Dawood Dukanwala who is the camp’s caretaker.

The order was first issued last year but several reminders have followed. A dozen families have already left and many more are on their way out, sources said.

Most families here say they got the Rs 50,000 compensation for their homes destroyed but that’s too meagre to buy or build another home.

When contacted at their London office, a functionary of the Muslim Relief Organisation, who declined to be named, admitted that the outfit’s members themselves used TVs in London, but “only when required”.

“Television is only a necessary evil, we use it only when required. It is not meant for any entertainment or pleasure,” he said.

The Tableeghi-e-Jamaat in Vadodara, which Dukanwala is associated with, claimed it had nothing to do with the issue.

Speaking to The Sunday Express, its Amir, Shoaib Qazi, a schoolteacher, said: “We do not mind TV or music. If they are doing this in the relief colony, it is beyond my knowledge.”

For the residents, that’s of little comfort. After five years in relief camps, Mohammad Shah Diwan hoped he had, at last, found a secure home in Detral.

“I never expected that we will have to go through this,” he said. “We are constantly harassed and told that if we do not follow those rules, we are kafirs.”

Diwan moved out three months ago with his daughter. At Detral, he worked as a poultry farmer but the caretaker asked him to limit his interaction with local villagers. “Then they built an Ibadatkhana for residents to pray and asked us not to even go to the village mosque,” says Diwan. He now lives off his teacher’s pension while his two sons drive autorickshaws.

Similar is the plight of Idrish Shaikh, a tailor who lost his home in Vejalpur in Godhra in the riots.
“I lost all my property in the riots and now our own people are treating us like animals,” says Shaikh. “Once the caretakers came and tried to lock up my home in my absence. They said I had been warned not to let my customers into the colony. I had no choice but to obey them.”

But Iqbal Diwan is one who moved out to his uncle’s house in Halol in the Panchmahals. “My sister is unmarried and we no longer have a home. We stay with our uncle in Halol who faced a lot of hardship after his house was damaged in the riots. But this is still better than staying under those people in Detral,” says Iqbal.

“They asked me and my father to wear caps at all times and to keep a long beard. We are not very comfortable with that lifestyle. There were unpleasant situations outside my house almost everyday when the caretakers would come and ask us to do this or that,” he says. “So the only option we had was to leave.”

Detral sarpanch Gajanand Mahant admitted he was aware of the new rules in the relief colony but said he didn’t wish to intervene. Some families went to the police, too. “But the police said it was our internal problem and it was up to the trust to decide what to do,” says Idris Sheikh.

Prisoner Scalded by Muslim Gang for Demanding Remembrance Day Respect...

A PRISONER at one of Britain's toughest jails had boiling water thrown in his face following a row over Remembrance Sunday.

Trouble flared at Belmarsh Prison after a pair of Muslim inmates played table tennis during a two minutes silence.

A white con who objected to the "lack of respect" took the ball - prompting five Muslim men to attack a different white man with the boiling water and a glass jar in a sock the following day.

He required emergency surgery after Monday's attack at the South London prison.

Three of the attackers - who are part of the al-Qaeda splinter group the Muslim Boys - were put in solitary.

One of the others and his pals tried unsuccessfully to ambush another white lag on Tuesday, and ended up with cuts and bruises.

Two white cons have been moved away, while the Muslim Boys will be dealt with at the prison. A Belmarsh source said: "Tensions are simmering. It's very worrying."

Tories investigate their own Muslim website

Although keen to win the Muslim vote, the Conservatives were distancing themselves from one of their own internet ventures yesterday after Mandrake informed them it included material apparently lifted from a website founded by a "hate preacher" banned from Britain.

Officials were trying to contact the man they had employed to create the Conservative Muslim Forum's website to ask why it features chunks of text from IslamOnline, which was established by Yusuf al-Qaradawi, who was described as "dangerous and divisive" by David Cameron.

"That particular piece you mention, about charity, was, indeed, lifted from a website, but they can't tell for sure which one," says a spokesman for the Tories. "It is reasonable to assume that it is from the website [IslamOnline]. It should have been attributed."

Al-Qaradawi, who helped set up IslamOnline in 1997, has been banned from America since 1999 and from Britain since 2008 because of his extremist views.

In 2003, he expressed his support for suicide attacks against Israeli civilians, which he called a "necessary Jihad". He is held to be the unofficial leader of the Muslim Brotherhood by a number of informed authorities.

The Conservative Muslim Forum was established in 2005 to increase the Tories' understanding of Muslim issues and encourage Muslim involvement in the party

No deportation for Muslim Serial Rapist as UK Immigration let him get away

A convicted rapist is on the run after escaping security guards at the Pakistan High Commission in London days before he was due to be deported.

Imtiaz Hussain, 44, had been transported from prison, where he was serving a nine-year sentence for rape, to the Pakistan High Commission to get a new passport in preparation for his deportation.

But the serial rapist gave immigration officials the slip, escaping through a window after claiming he needed the toilet.

He was last seen running along Sloane Square.

Police have now launched an nationwide manhunt for the sex attacker said to be 'very dangerous' and a 'serious threat to women'.

The failed asylum seeker was convicted on May 14, 2004 of rape and false imprisonment after attacking two prostitutes at knife-point in March of that year.

He was jailed for nine years, but after serving half of that his sentence expired last week.

But Hussain was still being held in a prison in the north of England pending his deportation to Pakistan.

Last Thursday he was transported in a secure prison van to Colnbrook immigration removal centre in Slough.

The following day he was escorted by immigration officials to the Pakistan High Commission in Victoria for his appointment about a replacement passport.

He was due to be sent back to prison following the interview, but he escaped at 2.30pm on Friday.

Scotland Yard is now liaising with police officers in Derbyshire, where he last lived.

At his trial at Derby Crown Court, the jury heard Hussain had threatened two women with a knife, beaten and raped them when they refused to do what he wanted.

Sentencing him, Judge David Pugsley said: 'You have perpetrated two rapes in circumstances which were horrific.'

Yesterday Detective Chief Inspector Brent Lancaster said: 'This individual is believed to very dangerous and we need to apprehend him as soon as possible.

'If anyone sees him, please don't approach him but call or alert police immediately.'

Hussain is described as around 5ft 5ins, of medium to chubby build, with dark cropped hair, and was wearing a blue T-shirt, blue jeans and white trainers.

David Wood, head of Criminality and Detention for the UK Border Agency said: 'A 44-year-old Pakistani male has absconded whilst on an escorted visit to the High Commission in London.

'Police were immediately informed. His details have been placed on the Police National Computer and watch-lists.

'We are actively searching for this individual to return him in to custody and remove him from the UK.'

Thus we find ANOTHER serial rapist is back on the streets of England.

MUM-of-three Beth Hoyle claims an Asda till worker refused to serve her because she was wearing a wristband backing injured troops.

Beth says the checkout lad told her the band for Help for Heroes - aided by The Sun - meant she supported the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

And when she complained to a supervisor, he BACKED the Asian youth, saying he was entitled to his view.

Beth, 40, who has two brothers in the services, said the checkout worker told her he didn't want to serve her because of "what she was wearing."

Shocked Beth, of Whitworth, Greater Manchester, said that at first she thought the youth at Asda's Rochdale store meant a cross round her neck.

"He pointed to my Help for Heroes wristband and accused me of supporting the war. I told him it was nothing to do with the war, but about supporting our injured troops.

"I immediately complained to a supervisor, but he said it was his right not to serve me. I was disgusted."

An Asda spokeswoman said they were "shocked" by the claims but had found no evidence that the incident happened in their store.

She added: "We are big supporters of the Help for Heroes campaign and we sell the pin badges and wristband in hundreds of our stores."

interesting - but not surprising - is Beth Hoyle first thought it was the crucifix around her neck that caused the 'offense" to the 'Asian' clerk.

Muslim mother who hid terrorist manual in burka 'was willing to blow up herself and her children'

A mother-of-six who today admitted hiding an explosives manual in her burka wrote a note suggesting she was willing to blow up herself and her children, a police source said.

Houria Chahed Chentouf, 41, from Manchester, was sentenced to two years in prison for the terror-related offence but walked free from court after serving her time on remand.

Officers found the chilling note written by Moroccan-born Chentouf at her home in Holland.

It indicated she was prepared to sacrifice her life and that of her children for the sake of her religion.

She wrote: 'Myself and my children would seek revenge, we would be bombs for the sake of this religion, may Allah forgive you.'

The court heard Chentouf suffers from a mental illness, triggered by the death of a family member and has previously self-harmed.

Her extremist views were discovered when she accidentally dropped a pen drive computer storage device containing terror-related documents while she was being questioned at Liverpool's John Lennon Airport.

On October 16 last year she was randomly stopped and searched by officers after she landed on an easyJet flight from Amsterdam, Manchester Crown Court heard.

Police said Chentouf had become agitated as soon as she was stopped at the airport.

The memory stick had been tied to the inner sleeve of her burka but fell out as she reached down to scratch her leg.

Liverpool John Lennon Airport: Where the memory stick was found (file image)
Chentouf was released but arrested the following day at her rented home in Reynell Road, Longsight, Manchester.

More than 7,000 files were found on the pen drive, including an explosives manual for the 'Brothers of the Mujahadeen,' the court heard.

It was described by police as 'a mini encyclopaedia of weapons making' and amounted to a step-by-step guide on how to create a bomb.

She had identified suitable targets as sports grounds, cinemas, colleges and bus stations, the court heard.

Another document contained information about the military use of electronics, the court heard, while searches of computers and laptops at the home found clear evidence she had had chat room conversations with militants about the roles of women and martyrdom.

She had been radicalised through the Internet, investigators said - the process beginning about two years ago.

Chentouf pleaded guilty to two offences of possessing documents likely to be useful for a terrorist.

A guide on establishing a terror cell, a manual setting out the principles of Jihad and a document about creating a training camp were also found on the 4GB pen drive, but these counts were allowed to remain on file.

Detectives also discovered she had written to convicted terrorist Mohammed Chentouf - no relation - who is serving a prison sentence in Holland for his part in a terror plot targeting Dutch politicians.

She had telephone numbers for the exiled Muslim cleric Omar Bakri Mohammed, who is banned from Britain, and Islamic convert Abu Izzadeen, also known as Trevor Brooks, who famously heckled the former Home Secretary John Reid and was jailed for raising money for terrorists and inciting terrorism overseas.

Chentouf, wearing a full burka, did not react to the sentencing as Judge Michael Henshell told her she had 'developed an obsessive interest in Jihad and the more extreme forms of Islam'.
But he said there was 'no evidence' to suggest she intended to pass the material on and 'no intention of putting it into practical use'.

Chentouf was born in Tangier but moved to Holland when she was 19, where possessing an article for terrorist purposes is not illegal.

She lived in The Hague with her now ex-husband and their six children, who are aged between four and 16.

Six computers were later recovered in the UK and a further four were recovered in The Netherlands.

An external hard drive, other electronic media and a number of other documents were recovered from both addresses.

About 90% of the material recovered was in Arabic or Dutch and each one had to be translated, which took more than 12,000 man hours.

She wanted to move permanently to the UK because she was discriminated against in Holland, the court heard.

Police say she worked for the tax office in Holland but was on benefits at the time of her arrest for her mental health problems.

Detective Chief Superintendent Tony Porter, of the North West Counter Terrorism Unit, said they might never know Chentouf's intentions.

'This woman elected not to give us the reason why she had the material but possessing it constitutes a serious offence,' he said.

'It was the huge quantity which lead us to believe that this was not by sheer chance.
'We do know she has got known and established links to extremists abroad and that puts us on notice to be concerned.

'She is on our radar and she will know she is on our radar so I think we are in a better position than we were a year ago.'

"Truly Multicultural" Britain

Muslim man 'racially abused BNP leader Nick Griffin and threatened to shoot him', court hears

British National Party leader Nick Griffin was racially abused by a Muslim man who made threatening 'gun gestures' towards him, a court heard today.

Mr Griffin was giving evidence in the trial of 23-year-old Tauriq Khalid, from Burnley, who is accused of shouting 'white b*****ds' towards Griffin and other BNP members who were demonstrating in the Lancashire town.

As the far-Right leader gave media interviews outside Burnley police station last November, Khalid drove past and made the comment, returning shortly afterwards to make the gun gesture, Preston Crown Court was told.

The defendant denies one charge of using racially abusive threatening behaviour against Griffin.
But he admits he stopped his silver Vauxhall Astra at the scene but says he shouted, 'Nick Griffin, you f*****g w****r' and the hand gesture was a V-sign.

Ian Metcalfe, prosecuting, told the jury of seven men and five women that the incident took place as several BNP members, including Griffin, staged a peaceful demonstration outside Burnley police station against the arrest earlier that day of four party colleagues.

Mr Metcalfe said: 'In the course of that demonstration Mr Griffin received some signals of support from members of the public and also signals of reproach from others.

'The prosecution say the defendant went further and indeed broke the law.

'He drove past the demonstration on repeated occasions and while doing so took the opportunity, from inside his car with the window down, to shout to Mr Griffin that he and other demonstrators were white b*****ds.'

Mr Metcalfe added that Khalid then went further 'by words or hand gestures to threaten to Mr Griffin that he was going to shoot him or have him shot'.

Khalid then drove off and, Mr Metcalfe said, Griffin then left the demonstration following the advice of BNP security guards.

The party leader sat in an unmarked car for 30 minutes.

After learning that one of the protesters had noted down the registration number of Khalid's car, a complaint was made to police and the defendant was later arrested by appointment.

Giving evidence, Mr Griffin said he was abused on two occasions that afternoon, firstly by the driver of a private hire cab and then by the driver of the silver Astra.

He said of the Astra driver: 'He stopped the car and shouted out of the window, I thought, "white b*****d"

i saw him again when he came back - he was a young Asian man wearing a white top.'

Demonstrating the alleged gun gesture to the jury, Mr Griffin said: 'The second time I saw him, he leaned out of the car and pointed at me and made a gun and gang gesture.

'I took it to be in the manner of a handgun.'

Mr Griffin then said he heard the defendant shout 'I'm going to...' but did not hear the rest of the sentence.

Mr Griffin said: 'I took it as "kill you" or "shoot you".

'I discussed it with my security men and decided it would be best to make myself scarce.'
Under cross-examination by Mark Stuart, defending, Mr Griffin denied he had misheard what Khalid said.

Mr Griffin said: 'I don't think "Nick Griffin, you w****r" can be possibly be misheard as "white b*****ds".

Mr Stuart said: 'The defendant accepts it is him and he is not proud of his behaviour but he says he drove past and flashed a V sign at you.'

Mr Griffin said: 'I am quite used to people making gestures at me, it doesn't bother me.
'But there is a difference between that and making a gun gesture, it is a direct threat.'
The trial continues.

‘Behead soldier' plot terror gang go free

THREE convicted terrorists who plotted to kidnap and behead a British Muslim soldier have been freed early from jail.

Hamid Elasmar, 46, Zahoor Iqbal, 32, and Mohammed Irfan, 33, were all caged less than two years ago.

they had been given between three and seven years for helping to plan the Birmingham kidnap of a squaddie, who they plotted to behead "like a pig" in a lock-up garage.

But the trio have now been released early for good behaviour.

During their trials, a court heard how the gang met at Elasmar's Edgbaston council flat to plot the release of video footage of the planned killing.

Plot mastermind Parviz Khan, 39 - now serving 14 years - was recorded by security services saying he intended to parade the soldier's head on a pole.

Khan told Elasmar: "We'll cut it off like you cut a pig, man. Then you put it on a stick. Then we throw the body, burn it, send the video."

Birmingham Central Mosque chairman Dr Mohammed Naseem aims to visit the men next week.
He said: "If they planned something like this they are in the wrong about their Islamic obligations. We would want to re-educate them."

Elasmar plus Iqbal, from Kingstanding, and Irfan, from Ward End, remain on a Bank of England watchlist restricting their bank accounts, freezing their assets and imposing caps on financial transactions.

Benefits fraud investigator faces jail for claiming £31,000 by pretending his wife was a hard-up single parent

Mohammed Aslam, 37, helped Afshan Ishaq make a string of benefit claims as she pretended to be a hard-up single parent with as little as £20 in the bank.

But London's Harrow Crown Court heard that in reality they were living together, and apart from working as a teacher she was enjoying the rent from one of their properties.

Andrew Evans, prosecuting, said Ishaq, also 37, eventually fell under suspicion.

Despite the pair having wed the previous year under Islamic tradition, her trusted Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) partner pretended he and the mother-of-two were strangers.
That allowed him to formally interview her and halt the inquiry.

Aslam, of Baffingham Way, Wembley, north-west London, and Ishaq, who according to court records now lives separately in nearby Barn Way, originally denied any wrongdoing.
But a month into their trial, and while one of them was still in the witness box, further developments resulted in the pair changing some of their pleas.

Ishaq admitted three accounts of deception involving housing and council tax benefits as well as income support.

Aslam pleaded guilty to wilful misconduct in public office, money laundering and three counts of perverting the course of justice.

All the offences were committed between April 18, 2004 and July 2, 2008.
Judge Graham Arran told the couple they could remain on bail until November 2 while pre-sentence reports were prepared.

Mr Evans told the court that Aslam joined the DWP in February 2000 as an administrative assistant.

The following year he met Ishaq - then a colleague - and a relationship developed.
In 2003, and still at the DWP, she allegedly began a life of crime with a £157,000 mortgage obtained by posing as a £49,000-a-year self-employed IT consultant.

Twelve months later, by which time she was a primary school teacher, Aslam helped her submit a dishonest £9,000 income support application.

The barrister said that according to the paperwork she did not have a partner, lived at an address she was really renting out, covering up thousands in the bank, and had no income apart from state handouts.

Mr Evans told jurors the pair then conned Harrow Council out of a fortune by claiming housing and council tax benefit.

This time they pretended to be landlord and tenant and concocted a rent agreement showing Ishaq was supposedly paying Aslam £1,050 a month.

The £22,546 they are said to have dishonestly pocketed as a result boosted their alleged criminal windfall to a total of £31,447.

'In July 2005, Ishaq's income support claim was investigated by Harrow's Fraud Investigation Service, which had received information that she had been working whilst claiming benefits.
'She was therefore requested to attend an interview under caution, which she did on July 28 that year.

'But the benefit fraud investigator who interviewed her on that occasion was Mohammed Aslam.'
By doing so, he committed 'a clear and serious breach' of the investigators' code of conduct and good practice.

Counsel explained he then effectively buried the matter by pretending to issue her with a formal caution, but then failed to log it on the DWP's database.
The barrister added the investigator also tried to reduce his workload by forging signatures on three special forms that halted inquiries by making it appear those under investigation had agreed to pay penalties.

'Dishonest' Blair and Straw accused over secret plan for multicultural UK

Jack Straw and Tony Blair 'dishonestly' concealed a plan to allow in more immigrants and make Britain more multi-cultural because they feared a public backlash if it was made public, it has been claimed.

Sharia supremacist group gets $165,000 in taxpayer funding

The same group on whose TV program Obama adviser Dalia Mogahed recently defended Sharia. "Islamists who want to destroy the state get £100,000 funding," by Andrew Gilligan for the Telegraph,

Leading members of a group that wants to bring down the British state and replace it with a dictatorship under Islamic law have secured more than £100,000 of taxpayers' money for a chain of schools.

Accounts filed at the Charity Commission show that the Government paid a total of £113,411 last year to a foundation run by senior members and activists of Hizb ut-Tahrir -- a notorious Islamic extremist group that ministers promised to ban.

The public money helped run a nursery school and two Islamic primary schools where children are taught key elements of Hizb's ideology from the age of five....

Hizb regards integration as "dangerous" and says that British Muslims should "fight assimilation" into British society. It wants to create a global Islamic superstate, or "caliphate", initially in Muslim-majority countries and then across the rest of the world.

It says that "those [Muslims] who believe in democracy are Kafir", or apostates. It orders all Muslims to keep apart from non-believers and boycott "corrupt" British elections and political processes. It has a tiny following and its views are rejected by most British Muslims.

Hizb, which operates worldwide, insists it is non-violent and condemned the London bombings.
However its website previously displayed a leaflet urging Muslims to "kill [Jews] wherever you find them" and at a rally in London earlier this year, Imran Waheed, its chief media adviser in Britain, said that there could be "no peace" with Israel, calling on Muslims to "fight" a "jihad... in the way of Allah" against it.

The group - which Tony Blair promised to ban after the 7/7 attacks on London - were given £113,411 to provide the three educational centres in Tottenham and Slough.

Hizb ut-Tahrir is an international Sunni political party whose goal is to combine all Muslim countries in a unitary Islamic state or caliphate, ruled by Islamic law and with a caliph head of state elected by Muslims.

Its anti-Semitism has resulted in the group being banned in Germany and on some British university campuses....

Ministers are today expected to come under pressure to investigate why the money was provided.

The group is regarded as an 'organisation of concern' by the Home Office.

Tory MP Patrick Mercer, chairman of the parliamentary sub-committee on counter-terrorism, today condemned grants to schools with connections to extremist groups.

Mr Mercer, MP for Newark and Retford, said: 'Hizb ut-Tahrir may not be illegal but it has definitely been identified as part of the conveyor-belt to terrorism.

That Hizb is involved with vulnerable youngsters is deeply disturbing.'

Lib-Dem MP Paul Holmes, a member of the Commons children, schools and families committee, said: 'It seems illogical that the Government would give money to a school associated with this type of group.

'The Government has said Ofsted inspects all schools ... however, I have not been convinced that the government inspections have been robust enough to prevent schools teaching things which society could be concerned about.'

Hizb ut-Tahrir has said British Muslims should 'fight assimilation' into British society.
The three schools are run by the Islamic Shakhsiyah Foundation, a registered charity. At least three of the four trustees are Hizb ut-Tahrir members or activists.

A Department for Children, Schools and Families spokesman said local authorities were responsible for ensuring 'providers were

A political row has broken out over claims public money was given to two schools which, the Tories say, have links to Islamist group Hizb ut-Tahrir.

No face...no place

A COLLEGE has banned a Muslim woman from becoming a student - because she will not take off a veil hiding her face.

Shawana Bilqes, 18, was turned away after trying to enrol on a course.
Staff asked her to remove her burka - which covers everything but her eyes - for identity fraud purposes.

But she told them she could not because of her religious beliefs, and was forced to abandon plans to sign up for the Access course to Higher Education Diploma.

Yesterday Shawana, from Burnley, Lancs, said: "It is my choice to wear the veil.
"I live around the corner from the college in an area where there are so many practising Muslims.

"I tried to compromise but they wouldn't. The college sent me a letter to say I could continue with my course if I stopped wearing the veil.
Security

"We are in the 21st Century and we get people from all walks of life. I'm in the police cadets as well and yet it's not a problem wearing the veil there."
Burnley College has 7,500 sixth-form students and a 100 per cent pass rate for the fourth year running.

Principal John Smith defended the decision, saying: "The highest standards of learning require unimpeded communication with students.

"This is not possible if the face is not fully visible."

He also insisted all staff and students must wear a tag showing their face for security reasons.
Justice Secretary Jack Straw previously hit out at the rise of the burka in his Blackburn constituency.

And in France, President Nicolas Sarkozy spoke out in June against the garment, claiming it undermined women's dignity.
He said: "The burka is not a sign of religion, it's a sign of subservience."

Muslim group demands full Sharia law

This was inevitable once Sharia provisions began to be introduced, and not surprising coming from Choudary. But look what changes the supporters of Sharia have in mind for Britain. "Now Muslims Demand: Give Us Full Sharia Law," by Martyn Brown for the Daily Express,

A RADICAL Muslim group sparked outrage last night as it launched a massive campaign to impose sharia law on Britain.

The fanatical group Islam4UK has ­announced plans to hold a potentially ­incendiary rally in London later this month.

And it is calling for a complete upheaval of the British legal system, its officials and ­legislation.
Members have urged Muslims from all over Britain to converge on the capital on October 31 for a procession to demand the full implementation of sharia law.

On a website to promote their cause they deride British institutions, showing a mock-up picture of Nelson's Column surmounted by a minaret.

Plans for the demonstration have been ­delivered to the Metropolitan Police and could see up to 5,000 extremists marching to demand the controversial system.

The procession - dubbed March 4 Shari'ah - will start at the House of Commons, which the group's website describes as the "very place where the lives of millions of people in the UK are changed and it is from here where unjust wars are launched".

The group then intends to march to 10 Downing Street and "call for the removal of the tyrant Gordon Brown from power".

The march will then converge on Trafalgar Square where protesters expect it "will gather even more support from tourists and members of the public, making clear in the heart of London the need for Shari'ah in society".

The group declared: "We hereby request all Muslims in the United Kingdom, in Manchester, Leeds, Cardiff, Glasgow and all other places to join us and collectively declare that as submitters to Almighty Allah, we have had enough of democracy and man-made law and the depravity of the British culture.\

"On this day we will call for a complete upheaval of the British ruling system its members and legislature, and demand the full implementation of Shari'ah in Britain."Last night politicians and fellow Muslims condemned the group's incendiary comments, which come in the wake of recent violent incidents in towns and cities like Manchester, Birmingham and Luton, Beds....A spokesman for the Islamic Society of Britain said: "99.999 per cent of Muslims despise these people. This only serves to fuel racial ­tensions."...Uh huh. But what about Sharia in the UK?
What is your position on that?

Plans for the march are revealed on the website Islam4UK, which is fronted by preacher Anjem Choudary who has also called for all British women to wear burkhas.

Explaining the Nelson's Column mock-up he said that under sharia law the construction and elevation of statues or idols is prohibited and consequently the statue of Nelson "would be removed and demolished without hesitation". At the base of the column the friezes would be replaced with Islamic decoration and giant urns would be filled with gold coins for the poor.

Mr Choudary has said that under sharia law in Britain people who commit adultery would be stoned to death, adding that "anyone who becomes intoxicated by alcohol would be given 40 lashes in public"....

Tension was high as angry protests greeted a visit to the UK by a Dutch far-right MP.

Around 40 Muslim demonstrators gathered near the Houses of Parliament as Geert Wilders arrived in central London.

Brandishing banners saying "Shariah is the solution, freedom go to hell" and "Geert Wilders deserves Islamic punishment", the protesters were held back by police.

Mr Wilders' press conference was moved inside the Abbey Gardens building opposite the Houses of Parliament.

Abu Muaz, from Islam For UK, said: "If I were to say some of the things he has said I would be arrested under the Terrorism Act. But because there is a war on Muslims he gets an easy ride."

Addressing journalists alongside UKIP peer Lord Pearson, Mr Wilders said his visit was "a victory".

Explaining his controversial views on Islam, he said: "I have a problem with the Islamic ideology, the Islamic culture, because I feel that the more Islam that we get in our societies the less freedom that we get."

Dutch MP Wilders wins appeal

Geert Wilders, a member of the Party of Freedom party in the Netherlands' House of Representatives, was prevented from entering Britain on February 12th by the Home Office, which claimed he would spread hatred by showing an anti-Islam film.

He had been invited to show the film by Ukip peer Lord Pearson, who told journalists following the ban that Mr Wilders "has a right to say what he is saying". "We are disappointed by the court decision today," a Home Office spokesman said. "The government opposes extremism in all its forms.

The decision to review Geert Wilders' admission was taken on the basis his presence could have inflated tensions between our communities and led to inter-faith violence. We still maintain this view." Fitna, the film which Mr Wilders wanted to show, opens with images of the Qur'an which is followed by footage of terrorist attacks around the world.

Today's appeal win raises the possibility it could now be shown in the UK.

Wilders, leader of the Party for Freedom in the Netherlands, was originally refused entry in February after arriving in London. He had been due to show his 17-minute film Fitna, which criticises the Qu'ran as a "fascist book", at the House of Lords, but was turned away at Heathrow airport.

The decision to refuse Wilders entry to the country, made by Jacqui Smith, then the home secretary, led to criticism of what was seen by some commentators as the silencing of free speech.

The ruling by the asylum and immigration tribunal means that Wilders, who is accused of Islamophobia, could now be allowed into the country.

In initially refusing Wilders access, a letter sent to the politician by the Home Office, on behalf of Jacqui Smith, said his presence "would pose a genuine, present and significantly serious threat to one of the fundamental interests of society.

The secretary of state is satisfied that your statements about Muslims and their beliefs, as expressed in the film and elsewhere, would threaten community harmony and therefore public safety in the UK."

Today a Home Office spokesman said the government was "disappointed" by the ruling. He said: "The government opposes extremism is all its forms. The decision to refuse Wilders admission was taken on the basis that his presence could have inflamed tensions between our communities and have led to inter-faith violence. We still maintain this view."

Qatar donates £1.5m for mosque after intervention from Jack Straw

Mr Straw wrote a letter of introduction for his friend and political ally, Lord Patel of Blackburn, who wanted to persuade the emir, Sheikh Hamad Bin Khalifa al-Thani, to spend £1.5m, half the total needed to build the five-storey mosque.

The gift came after Mr Straw, then leader of the Commons, accepted free first-class flights and accommodation for himself and his wife for a four-day trip to the emirate in April 2007. He declared the trip in the MPs’ register of interests.

Liberal Democrats in Blackburn, Mr Straw’s constituency, claimed the Labour party had used the donation to the Bicknell Street mosque in order to garner votes from local Muslims.
Concerns over foreign funding have led Italy, France and Spain to introduce checks on the sources of foreign money used to build mosques.

Professor Anthony Glees, an expert on the influence of Islamic groups, said: “I think it’s a matter of grave concern that our institutions should receive unregulated funding from individuals and organisations about which we know practically nothing.”

Haras Rafiq, co-founder of the Sufi Muslim council, said large foreign donors expected mosques to reflect their beliefs, and this was squeezing out moderate Muslims. “This has been a huge problem for the last decade. Some of the biggest mosques and institutions in the UK have been funded by foreign money and have been proven to be portraying extremist viewpoints.

“Money speaks and we need to ensure that the money is not coming from the wrong people.”
The Emir of Qatar has an image as a pro-western reformist and moderniser and his country is the base for a significant US military presence.

However Qatar has also provided aid to Hamas and offered support to the extremist Muslim Brotherhood and to President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran and Omar al-Bashir, the president of Sudan who has been indicted for war crimes in Darfur.

The emir, who seized power from his father in a bloodless coup in 1995, is the founder of the controversial al-Jazeera television channel which includes among its presenters Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi, who has praised suicide bombings and is banned from the UK.

Like Saudi Arabia, which also funds a number of mosques across Britain, Qatar follows the fundmentalist wahhabi form of Islam.

Mr Straw was moved from his job as foreign secretary in 2006 amid claims that he had upset President Bush with his views on the Middle East.

Lord Patel, a former businessman who is chairman of Blackburn’s central mosque, said Mr Straw gave him “a reference letter” and added: “It was a general letter introducing me. He is a Blackburn MP and he wrote that as a Blackburn MP.”

Mr Straw’s spokesman said: “Jack is entirely comfortable with his role in this. He is proud of his efforts to support all sections of the community in Blackburn. He does not know whether his trip to Qatar, in his role as MP for Blackburn, had any bearing on the donation to the mosque.”

46 years for city centre violence

A GROUP of eight men who started serious violence and disorder in Leeds city centre on New Year’s Day have been sentenced to a combined total of 46-and-a-half-years in prison.

The eight men from Manchester started a large-scale fight during which one man suffered serious head injuries, before moving onto Wade Lane. Once on Wade Lane further disorder occurred before Javan Service, aged 18, of South Grove, Longsight, fired a gun six times towards a group of people.

Sheffield Crown Court, Recorder Alan Goldsack QC sentenced Service to 12 years’ imprisonment for Violent Disorder, Grievous Bodily Harm, Possession of a Firearm with Intent to Cause Fear and Violence, Possession of a Prohibited Weapon.

Seven other men were also sentenced for their part in the disorder. They are: Mohammed Mohibur Uddin, 20, of Stapleford Close, Sale was sentenced to eight years for violent disorder, possession of a prohibited weapon, attempting to pervert the course of justice and grievous bodily harm.

Mohammed Rahel Choudhury, 22, of Handcock Close, Manchester was sentenced to two-and-a-half-years for violent disorder and attempting to pervert the course of justice.

Mohammed Rahim Choudhury, 19, also of Hancock Close, Manchester received four years and eight months for violent disorder and GBH.

Curtis Mattis, 19 of Edbrook Walk, Longsight received four years and eight months for violent disorder and GBH.

Mohammed Ali Muzzafar, 21 of East Grove, Manchester was sentenced to four years and eight months for violent disorder and GBH. Jarrell Wright, 18 of Victory Parade received seven years for violent disorder and GBH.

Luqmaan Mahmood, 19, of Slade Lane, Manchester was sentenced to three years for possession of a firearm with intent to cause fear and violence. Detective Inspector Jaz Khan of City and Holbeck CID said: ‘’This was a complex investigation and today’s result is the culmination of much hard work and dedication by officers from City and Holbeck CID and all the investigation team received a commendation from the judge.

"Throughout the investigation we worked closely with our colleagues at Greater Manchester Police, and I would like to thank them for their assistance. "Facial Mapping and DNA evidence were used during the investigation, but CCTV footage played the most pivotal part. "Much credit is given to the operator who became aware of the volatile situation that was about to develop and had the presence of mind to capture the footage which was vital both to the investigation and the evidence which secured the convictions of these men.

"I am pleased with the sentences handed by the Court, as they reflect the serious nature of this incident.’’ Chief Superintendent Mark Milsom, Divisional Commander for City and Holbeck, said: "The events of New Year’s Day morning stand out from the bigger picture which is that Leeds city centre has far less incidents of gun crime when compared to other major cities in this country.

"Following this incident we have run a number of special operations during the bank holiday weekends in the city, including the August Bank Holiday which is the busiest weekend of the year in Leeds, and we have not seen any repetition of this kind of incident.

"But it is also crucial to stress that our officers will work as hard as possible to arrest, charge and convict anyone who uses a firearm in our city, and this case clearly demonstrates that."

British Taxpayers Pay to Fly Illegals Home (from France)...

A charter flight paid for by British and French taxpayers is set to fly to Afghanistan today carrying around 250 illegal migrants arrested near Calais.

As well as a seat on the plane, at an estimated cost of £500 each, many of those on board will receive £1,900 in cash and a guarantee of retraining in their homeland.
However, there will be nothing to prevent any of them travelling back the moment they get to Kabul.

Migrants gather near the ferry terminal in Calais, France following the demolition of their makeshift homes in 'the Jungle' last month

The flight, which will begin in London, is intended to be the first of many which will end up costing millions of pounds, split equally between France and Britain.

The main aim will be to try to reduce the mounting number of migrants massing in Calais, which they use as a springboard to reach Britain where they will claim asylum or disappear into the black economy.

Calais mayor demands Britain lets in ALL migrants as riot police tear down illegal camps again

The development follows last month's clearing of The Jungle, a notorious Calais squatter camp which was filled with mainly young men from Afghanistan.
French immigration minister Eric Besson was criticised after almost all those arrested were released.

It now appears that a compromise has been reached with many agreeing to accept the huge cash incentive to go home, if only briefly.

The sum involved will be worth hundreds of times more in Afghanistan than it is in Europe.
The French pulled out of a similar voluntary deportation scheme a year ago, with First Lady Carla Bruni among those insisting that it was immoral to send Afghans back to their war-torn country.

But now such arguments appear to have been quietly forgotten with the first plane, believed to be being supplied by a British firm, taking off from London in the early hours before stopping to pick up some 250 migrants in Paris.

They will then be flown to Kabul accompanied by police and security guards, again mainly believed to be British as French unions have refused to take part.

UK Muslims Want Grant Money without Anti-Extremist Strings...

Muslim groups say that they want money from the Government but don’t like the strings attached which ask them to help root out extremism.

The Muslim Council of Britain (MCB) says that the grants which require them to stand against violent hard-liners are ‘intrusive’.

However, they say they do want the money which is designed to help local communities.

The MCB’s Deputy Secretary General, Dr Daud Abdullah, told the Guardian: “Experience has shown that very often funds are accompanied with intrusion and attempts to influence decision-making”.

He added Muslim groups were now turning away from Government funding.

Khalida Khan, Director of the An-Nisa Society, would welcome money but said: “There’s a lot of strings attached – the government stance is just terrorism driven”.

The funding comes from an initiative called Preventing Violent Extremism which has been allocated £70 million over three years.

The Government say it is particularly for helping “support local authorities and community groups in improving the capacity of local communities to resist violent extremism”.

A spokeswoman for the Department for Communities and Local Government said the effectiveness of the scheme was dependent on: “everyone involved playing a positive part in standing up to, isolating and challenging those that seek to spread hatred and violence”.

The Government spokeswoman added: “We have acknowledged that the Prevent label can isolate some groups and that is why funding going into communities will no longer be branded in this way”.

Earlier this year the Government suspended ties with the Muslim Council of Britain.

Hazel Blears, then Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, raised concerns that Dr Abdullah had signed a document justifying attacks on the Royal Navy.

She said that until the matter was resolved, “I feel that it is only appropriate for us to suspend our engagement with the Muslim Council of Britain”.

Dhimmi laws applied in UK: Church forbidden to play music because it offends Muslim community

According to Islamic law, dhimmis -- primarily Jews and Christians under the "protection" of the Islamic state -- are "forbidden to openly display wine or pork, (A: to ring church bells or display crosses,) recite the Torah or Evangel aloud, or make public display of their funerals and feastdays" ('Umdat al-Salik, o11.5(6)).No bells, no public displays. And in the modern age, no loud joyful music. And now these dhimmi laws come to the UK. Dunni Odetoyinbo said in court that a council officer asked her "to keep the noise down so as not to offend the Muslim community." The council denies this now, but given that Muslim neighbors were complaining, there is nothing implausible about Odetoyinbo's claim."Worshippers quit church after council noise ban 'takes away their ability to praise God," from the Daily Mail,

They praised the Lord by singing their hearts out and chanting prayers at packed services.
But members of a congregation in north London have abandoned their church - because of a council noise ban.

The Immanuel International Christian Centre was ordered to keep its amplified music and sermons quieter after a neighbour complained.

But the church's pastor Dunni Odetoyinbo claimed Waltham Forest council had only told them to keep quiet so as not to offend the Muslim community....

In court Mrs Odetoyinbo, 55, claimed a council officer had asked her 'to keep the noise down so as not to offend the Muslim community'.

But magistrates rejected the appeal, and ordered the church to pay £2,250 costs.
It can now only play music for 20 minutes on a Sunday between 11.30am and 11.50pm....

U.K. to release dozens of high-risk jihadists -- in order to avoid "inflaming" extremism

Up to 30 "high-risk" terrorists -- including some of the most dangerous men in Britain --are due to be released from jail in the next year.

More are being freed in the wake of a ruling by Britain's most senior judges that long sentences for terrorist crimes could "inflame" rather than deter extremism.

An analysis of appeal court cases shows that of the 26 terrorism cases it has heard, 25 have led to men with terrorism convictions having their sentences reduced. Others are being released because they serve only part of their term.

The leniency of the British appeal court to some convicted terrorists contrasts with America where they can be locked up for their whole lives.One man designated "high risk" and due to be freed soon is Andrew Rowe, a Muslim convert who was found guilty of having notes on how to fire mortar bombs.

Rowe was sentenced to 15 years in 2005. He is due to be freed next April after his sentence was reduced to 10 years. Others who have had their terms cut include some of those who helped the failed suicide bombers of July 21, 2005 and two of those convicted of soliciting murder during the Danish cartoons protest.

The sentences were reduced after a key ruling in July 2008 by Lord Phillips, then the lord chief justice, and two other senior judges, who reduced Abdul Rahman's sentence from six to five years following his guilty plea for disseminating a terrorist publication. Rahman, a key al-Qaida player, recruited disaffected Muslims from England to fight British troops in Afghanistan.

At the heart of this decision lie two absurd assumptions: First, there is the idea that fighting terrorism -- indeed, seeing that justice is served -- causes terrorism, and so not fighting quite so hard will make the enemy dial it back a notch, too. The second is the notion that there are "hearts and minds" that can be won over: Release people who hate Britain and were willing to act on that hatred in hope of making them and their friends hate the Sceptred Isle less.

Councillor Stops Meeting to Pray...

A Muslim Labour councillor faced a backlash when a Town Hall meeting was adjourning while she went to pray. The development committee at Tower Hamlets stopped after five minutes to allow Muslim councillors a prayer break during its last meeting.Cllr Rania Khan faced shouts of "disgusting" from the public gallery as she left to pray and on her return said she had been disturbed by the "abuse hurled at her".

A former Labour councillor, Ronald Osborne, sitting in the gallery, said: "We weren't hurling abuse at her. But you don't stop a meeting to pray, that should be done beforehand.

Are they paying her to pray?

People rushed home from work to get to this meeting and it's not fair to keep them waiting."Cllr Khan later explained that as many other Muslim she tries to pray at set times five times a day. She said: "I'm a politician but my religion is also important to me.

I had been in meetings from 2-7pm and I'm entitled to a 15 minute break in any job. "I had already missed earlier prayers and the important thing was to try and pray before the sun sets

muslim Bomb hoaxer closed airport to prevent UK authorities deporting him to Pakistan

A failed asylum seeker shut down an airport and put three others on red alert with a series of hoax calls warning of suicide bomb attacks.

Salman Mukaty, 27, was trying to stop himself being deported to Pakistan after more than nine years in the UK.

He told police that 16 passengers carrying 'suicide bomb materials' were about to board planes in airports across the country.

His false warnings forced Leeds-Bradford airport to close for one hour and put Heathrow, Birmingham and Manchester on red alert.

Alan Blake, prosecuting said it was 'hard to conceive a more dramatic, more horrific threat' than the series of calls made on March 27.

Mukaty believed he would avoid deportation as it would 'not be safe for him to return to Pakistan once he had helped the UK authorities', he added.

Mukaty, of Slough, Berkshire, claimed he had been tipped off about the bombs by an extremist friend. But, said Mr Blake, his account was 'riddled with lies and inconsistencies'.
'The calls were made specifically to service his own interests. He is a dangerous and selfish man,' he told Reading Crown Court.

'What better way for Mr Mukaty to show that it would be unjust for him to be returned to Pakistan than to show how useful he was to the authorities?'

Mukaty, born in Karachi, had been appealing against his asylum refusal and met immigration officials on the day of the hoax calls.
He claimed to have genuinely believed the information given to him by someone he called Arif Khan, who he said had links with Islamic extremists in Pakistan and Afghanistan.

Mukaty said he had known Khan since he was four but his friend has never been tracked down. Mr Blake dismissed Khan as a myth.

Harold Persaud, defending, said that Mukaty genuinely feared that 'innocent people would die' after he was tipped off.

'The person who is given that information would very rarely be in a position to judge whether that information is credible,' he told the court.

'He still believes what he did was right giving what he knew.'

It took the jury less than two hours to convict Mukaty of four counts of communicating false information with intent at the airports.

He will be sentenced on November 6. The offence carries a maximum term of seven years.
The early-morning bomb scare caused misery for hundreds of passengers at Leeds-Bradford airport. There was traffic chaos as roads were closed and fire engines raced to the scene.

Once the airport reopened, it took another two hours for services to return to normal. Around 2.87million passengers use Leeds-Bradford every year.

A spokesman for the UK Border Agency said an independent immigration judge was due to rule on Mukaty's asylum appeal.

Detective Chief Superintendant George Turner, head of the South East Counter Terrorism Unit, said: 'This case sends a clear message that this sort of offence will be thoroughly investigated and dealt with robustly.'

UK Home Office staff officially warned not to eat in front of Muslims during Ramadan - in case it made them feel hungry

MPAC plays the victim card while denouncing this document below, but nonetheless the organization has a point: this is the kind of walking on eggshells around Muslims that only creates resentment among non-Muslims in a land where there ought to be equality of treatment of all people, regardless of creed. Now if MPAC could come out across the board against special preferences and special treatment for Muslims, and work against all accommodation of Sharia provisions in Britain, we might be getting somewhere.

The advice came in a taxpayer-funded internal document listing do's and don'ts during the Muslim holy month, which ends this weekend.

The Home Office Islamic Network produced the five-page information sheet which says: ‘In practical terms, please be sensitive when eating lunch near a Muslim colleague who is fasting.
This can make an individual feel hungrier and make it more challenging to observe the fast.’

During the holy month devout Muslims do not drink or eat from dawn until sunset and, according to the document, must avoid ‘all obscene and irreligious sights and sounds’.
It also urged Home Office managers to be flexible over working arrangements.

It says: ‘The most likely need Muslim staff may present to managers during this period is for flexibility around working hours and break times as those fasting will have a slightly different routine from usual. Managers and Muslim staff should discuss what their needs are and be responsive and sensitive.’

Managers were also told: ‘Muslim staff who are fasting and whose environment allows it may wish to set out for work earlier than usual and finish their working day correspondingly early...in line with flexi-time arrangements.’

Last night a Home Office spokeswoman confirmed the document had been distributed to its staff and posted on the department’s internal intranet system.
She said: ‘It is not formal departmental guidance and was written by volunteers.

But the guide is now at the centre of a row with Islamic groups who said it was more likely to incite hatred of Muslims than promote understanding....The Muslim Public Affairs Committee, which claims to be fighting a 'political jihad against Islamophobia', attacked the document.

It said: 'It is designed to create more hatred in the hearts of non-Muslims.

'We don't care how much non-Muslims eat in front of us.

'It's never been an issue and never will be and we have never asked for any special treatment or sensitivity from non-Muslims whilst fasting.'

Christian couple charged with criminal offense after offending Muslims during discussion of religion

A Christian couple have been charged with a criminal offence after taking part in what they regarded as a reasonable discussion about religion with guests at their hotel.

Ben and Sharon Vogelenzang were arrested after a Muslim woman complained to police that she had been offended by their comments.

They have been charged under public order laws with using 'threatening, abusive or insulting words' that were 'religiously aggravated'.

The couple, whose trial has been set for December, face a fine of up to £5,000 and a criminal record if they are convicted.

Although the facts are disputed, it is thought that during the conversation the couple were challenged over their Christian beliefs.It is understood that they suggested that Mohammed, the founder of Islam, was a warlord and that traditional Muslim dress for women was a form of bondage.

The contention about traditional Muslim dress for women is a matter of opinion, but anyone, Muslim or non-Muslim, who denies that Muhammad was a warlord is simply ignorant or deceptive.

They deny, however, that their comments were threatening and argue that they had every right to defend and explain their beliefs.

Mrs Vogelenzang, 54, who has run the Bounty House Hotel near Aintree racecourse in Liverpool with her husband Ben, 53, for six years, said: 'Nothing like this has happened to us before. We are completely shocked.'

She added that the episode had damaged their business and they had been forced to lay off staff and run the nine-bedroom hotel by themselves, leaving them exhausted.

Sources said that a number of guests staying at the hotel, which charges £92 a night for a double room, were having breakfast in its restaurant on March 20 when comments were made about religion.

One of those involved was the Muslim woman, who was staying at the hotel while she received treatment at a hospital nearby.

The couple, who are members of the Bootle Christian Fellowship, and their solicitor, David Whiting, said they could not discuss the content of the conversation for legal reasons. But the independent lobby group, the Christian Institute, which has seen both the prosecution and defence legal papers, is supporting their defence.

Mr Whiting, who last year successfully defended street preacher Anthony Rollins in Birmingham, said: 'There is a dispute as to the facts of the allegations, but Ben and Sharon do not accept they were threatening, abusive or insulting.

'They are committed Christians and it is the defence's contention that they have every right to defend their religious beliefs and explain those beliefs to others who do not hold similar views.'...At least for now, even in Absurd Britannia.

Yet another indication of the walking-on-eggshells that British authorities (and plenty of non-British authorities) are doing around Muslims these days.

Camera Catches Muslim Behaving Very Badly at Store...

Police are probing a video of an ex-Asda worker caught on camera licking a chicken from one of the supermarket's displays before replacing it.

The scene comes at the end of a shocking video which shows Adeel Ayub running amok in Asda's store in the Fulwood area of Preston.

He is seen:

Urinating in a toilet bin
Slashing furniture and colleague's coats in the staffroom
Setting off a fire extinguisher
Filming firefighters responding to a false alarm
Playing cricket and football with stock
Poking his fingers in, stamping on and licking an uncooked chicken
Smashing boxes of eggs in the stockroom

The chicken-licking yob unwraps a raw bird

The man stamps on chickens while they are on display

The same Asda store features in a new TV advertising campaign filmed in May.
A spokesman for Asda said: 'We are absolutely disgusted and appalled by the behaviour of this man.

'Despite leaving our business three years ago, we now have video evidence of criminal damage and we have taken this matter up with the police.'

Inspector Jameel Murtza of Lancashire Constabulary, Fulwood said: 'We are currently in the process of reviewing CCTV footage of the incident.

We are liaising with the management at Asda with the aim of identifying any criminal offences that have taken place.'

Ayub worked at the supermarket between 2005 and 2008. At the start of the film, Ayub is seen wearing Asda's distinctive green uniform as he lets off a fire extinguisher and gloats as the fire service respond to a false alarm at the supermarket.

The film, which was left anonymously in a brown envelope at the front desk of a local newspaper, was then passed to Asda, who are now investigating the incident.

The thug makes no effort to conceal his identity as he gloats and boasts throughout the film as he wreaks havoc in the aisles.

He then returns to the store in 2009 dressed in a hoodie - after he has left Asda's employment - where he is first seen stamping on whole chickens out on display.

The vandal then picks one out, tears off the plastic wrapping and licks the breast before placing the bird back on the shelf.

The mobile phone footage is thought to have been filmed by a fellow Asda employee over a series of night-time shifts.

Ayub is heard referring to the film as a 'top secret video' that is 'never going to get released'.
In increasingly vulgar footage, Ayub uses a craft knife to slash furniture in the staffroom, which led to it being closed and a £50 reward offered for information.

He also breaks trophies awarded to the store, hurls boxes of eggs around the warehouse, and plays 'Asda football' with boxes of stock.

The footage begins with the man in his Asda uniform in the staff section of the superstore releasing a fire extinguisher.

As firefighters are filmed attending the call out he is heard to boast: 'I think this baby is my last video because if I get caught I'll probably get sacked.'

Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service, which confirmed it received two false alarm calls to the store in 2008, today condemned the footage.

Spokesman John Taylor said: 'We deplore this behaviour. Hoax calls take up firefighters time and setting off an alarm system takes crews away from genuine emergencies. It's a criminal activity.'

British Taxpayers Fund Muslim Brotherhood Organization...

A British government funded organization has donated nearly £50,000 to a Muslim Brotherhood connected organization, according to a UK think tank.

The Center for Social Cohesion, an organization specializing in the study of extremism in Britain, reports that Preventing Violent Extremism (PVE) established in 2007 to "work with Muslim organisations to tackle violent extremism" had donated £48,000 pounds (almost $80,000) to the Muslim Welfare House (MWH)

MWH is a member of Federation of Islamic Organizations in Europe (FIOE.) The FIOE serves as an umbrella organization for most European Brotherhood group, according to analyst Lorenzo Vidino. The House has had on its board such extremists as Mohammed Sawalha, a former Hamas leader. Earlier this year, Sawalha signed a declaration in Istanbul in support of Hamas.

One of the clauses in the document called for fighting "by all ways and means' foreign navies preventing the smuggling of arms into Gaza. The British navy was engaged in that very activity.

Other MWH officials have had definite Muslim Brotherhood ties, according to the think tank.
None of the extremists are currently on the board of MWH. However, its ties to FIOE remain. At a time in which the UK is subject to intense international criticism for the release of Abdel Baset al-Megrahi the convicted Lockerbie bomber, the British government would do well to more closely vet the recipients of its largesse.
