Backlash at the mosque The Telegraph

The influence of Muslim fundamentalists in east London is being challenged, says Andrew Gilligan .

In the two weeks since the Islamic Forum of Europe were exposed by The Sunday Telegraph and Channel 4’s Dispatches as hardline fundamentalists secretly infiltrating the political system, they have been furiously protesting their “proven track record of community cohesion”. Last week, however, the organisation showed its true face.

“We’ve tracked you down,” said the IFE’s community affairs co-ordinator, Azad Ali, in a webcast targeting the Channel 4 reporter “Atif”, who went undercover at the IFE’s headquarters, the East London Mosque, filming the group’s true views – and its boasts that it controlled the local Tower Hamlets council. “Yes, Atif, we’ve got a picture of you and a lot more than you thought we had. We’ve tracked you down to different places. And if people are gonna turn what I’ve just said into a threat, that’s their fault, innit?”

Mr Ali’s words sit strangely with his role as an official advisor to the Director of Public Prosecutions, Keir Starmer, and to the police, but perhaps his annoyance is understandable. The undercover reporters filmed him saying: “Democracy, if it means not implementing the sharia, no one’s going to agree with that.”

The reporters found that, far from its protestations of being merely a “social welfare organisation”, the IFE is an organised political movement dedicated to creating an “Islamic social and political order” through “entryism” into mainstream democratic institutions. Continue Reading →

Al Qaeda suspect had worked at nuke plants in NJ and Pa

By Chelsea Conaboy

INQUIRER STAFF WRITER

The American arrested in a sweep of al-Qaeda members worked as a laborer at five nuclear plants in South Jersey, Pennsylvania and Maryland, federal officials said today.

Sharif Mobley had a “red badge” clearance, the highest level a laborer can obtain, while working on at the Salem-Hope Creek nuclear plants in Salem County, according to a spokesman from the local union of which he was a member.

Sharif was arrested last week with suspected al-Qaeda members in Yemen and officials said he then killed a guard while trying to escape from a hospital. He is under FBI investigation in Delaware. Law enforcement sources have said the investigation is terror-related.

In addition to PSEG’s Salem-Hope Creek plants on Artificial Island, Mobley worked at the Peach Bottom, Limerick and Three Mile Island I plants in Pennsylvania and at Clavert Cliffs in Maryland, according to an e-mail from Neil Sheehan, a spokesman for the federal Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

A short news clip about voter fraud in Rotterdam, Holland, seemingly against the Leefbaar Rotterdam (“Livable Rotterdam”) party, the orphaned party of Pim Fortuyn in that city, to the benefit of the local PvdA (Labour Party, Socialists). The same happened in other highly Muslim areas of Holland. The PVV is not (yet) represented in the municipality of Rotterdam, but Geert Wilders has always openly supported Leefbaar Rotterdam.

Seven Muslims caught plotting death of Swedish Cartoonist

Seven held in Ireland over plot to assassinate cartoonist Lars Vilks

By Sarah Stack, Press Association

Tuesday, 9 March 2010

Seven Muslims were arrested in the Irish Republic today over an alleged plot to assassinate a Swedish cartoonist who depicted the Prophet Mohammed with the body of a dog, police said.

Al-Qa’ida put a $100,000 bounty on the head of cartoonist Lars Vilks after a newspaper published his cartoon.

The four men and three women were detained after an investigation involving European security agencies and the United States’ CIA and FBI.

Mr Vilks, who lives in an isolated area of Sweden, was put under police protection after threats were made against his life.

When al-Qa’ida put the bounty on the cartoonist’s head in 2007 it offered a 50 per cent bonus if Mr Vilks was “slaughtered like a lamb” by having his throat cut, while another $50,000 was put on the life of Ulf Johansson, editor-in-chief of Nerikes Allehanda, the local newspaper which printed the cartoon.

However those arrested are not believed to be members of the terrorist group.

It understood some have converted to the Muslim faith.

The arrests were made at around 10am as officers conducted a number of raids.

Gardai said the operation was supported by members from National Support Services and the Republic’s anti-terrorist Special Detective Unit.

A Garda spokesman added: “Throughout the investigation An Garda Siochana has been working closely with law enforcement agencies in the United States and in a number of European countries.”

London: Islamists mobilize votes for Livingston, IFE helped secure massive swing

Islamists got voters out for Livingstone

A fundamentalist group which believes in sharia law, jihad and creating an “Islamic social and political order” in Britain arranged an “unprecedented mobilisation” of voters for the former London mayor, Ken Livingstone, at the last mayoral election.

By Andrew Gilligan
Published: 9:00PM GMT 06 Mar 2010

In an election lost by Mr Livingstone, the Islamic Forum of Europe helped secure massive and unexpected swings towards him in its east London heartland.

In one ward, Spitalfields, his vote share rose from 29.6 per cent in 2004 – an election he won – to 68.4 per cent in 2008, a rise of nearly 39 percentage points.

In every other ward in Tower Hamlets and Newham with a sizeable Muslim population, his vote rose by between 23 and 36 percentage points. His vote in other Muslim and ethnic minority areas of London also rose, but by far smaller amounts.

Mr Livingstone’s economic development body, the London Development Agency, had agreed to pay more than £1.3 million to the East London Mosque, controlled by the IFE, and described by critics as hardline.

Emails leaked to The Sunday Telegraph show that a senior LDA official furiously protested against at least £500,000 of this grant, saying there were “major concerns” about the mosque project and “no case” for giving it the money.

However, the official was overruled and the grant was paid.

Part of Mr Livingstone’s voting rise will have been due to his opposition to the Iraq war and support for the Palestinian cause, both popular among Muslims. Continue Reading →

More Islamic infiltration of UK governments

Fundamentalist-infiltrated council steps back from the cliff edge – just

At the eleventh hour, Tower Hamlets has drawn back from an act of stupidity stunning even by its own standards. The council’s initial response to our revelations that it has been infiltrated by Islamic fundamentalists – revelations which the council leader refuses to deny – has been not to investigate the matter, but to attack one of the people who helped expose it.

In the ongoing takeover process of the council by the Islamic Forum of Europe (IFE), one of the key moments was the appointment of Lutfur Ali, a man with close links to the IFE, to the second most important job at the Town Hall – despite his palpable unfitness for the £125,000 post.

Apart from his IFE links, there wasn’t that much else going for Mr Ali. The council-appointed headhunters who considered applicants described him as “rather limited,” “superficial,” and “one-dimensional” and said he might “struggle with the intellectual challenges [of] a highly strategic role.” And the headhunters didn’t even know that Mr Ali had submitted a misleading CV, which gave false dates for a previous employment and omitted the fact that he had been forced to resign from that job for breaching the local authority code of conduct.

Mr Ali is responsible for council grants. Since his appointment, a lot more council money has started going to organisations closely linked to  – you guessed – the IFE. These organisations include a very generously-funded youth training project, Brick Lane Youth Development Association, or Blyda. Part of the purpose of this project, according to critics, is to take vulnerable young people off the streets and imbue them with the values of the IFE. Continue Reading →

More on the Quebec Niqkab woman.

Posted on by

Turns out CTV and CBC not surprisingly have sanitized this story quite a bit, omitting more onerous demands that men not face her etc. in the class. This women clearly went in with the intention of agitating and eventually going to the HRC. The plain fact is, this was tactical. The women never intended to go there to learn French, but to teach sharia for control and profit. Another thing that really annoys me about the Canadian attitude. In the CTV video below, you see some professional Canadian from some Multi-Culti board or another use the usual platitudes of compromise and balance. Utterly emetic.. To these spoiled civil servants, when a Muslim demands that all Jews in Canada be dead, they believe that it would be a satisfying decision just to make them all really really sick.

Thanks to our reader Kaffir_Kanuc for finding this Gazzette article:

Quebec Immigration Minister Yolande James authorized the expulsion of a Muslim woman from a government-sponsored French class at Cégep St. Laurent, a report said Tuesday.

The student, an Egyptian who is a permanent resident of Canada and who wears a veil over her face known as a niqab, apparently refused to reveal her face in class and insisted male students not face her, according to La Presse.

The Cégep tried various ways to accommodate the woman between February and November 2009. But the situation became tense and created problems at the school.

Roger Giroux, the director of francization with the Quebec Department of Immigration, made several requests to the woman for her to remove the veil at the risk of being expelled. She refused and insisted that Giroux’s ultimatum be confirmed in writing. Giroux informed the woman in a letter that she was indeed required to remove her niqab in order to participate in the class, since part of the objective of the class is to encourage interaction with other students.

The woman was informed, however, that she could take the same class on the Internet.

The woman has since then apparently complained to the Canadian Human Rights Commission, which will study the complaint in the coming months, La Presse said.

The woman initially agreed to remove her niqab when meeting with a female student advisor and when posing for her school ID card. She also agreed to receive some instruction without the niqab from a female teacher in an isolated area of the school.

The school’s accommodations extended to allowing the woman to give an oral presentation at the far end of the classroom facing away from other students. It became difficult to provide the woman with the instuction that is part of the curriculum, the La Presse report explained, because it involves teaching proper elocution and seeing how a person pronounces words in French.

The report notes that although there are regular requests for special accommodations in French classes for cultural reasons – some of which are deemed acceptable and some not – the cases rarely lead to expulsion. This was the only student expelled because of that among 39,000 students last year.

Infidel cyclist run over by a holy car of Riyadh

Posted on by

Vlad has to a small degree, focused on how Islam is antipathetic to the arts and music and musicians in particular. There are many reasons for this not the least of which is that artists tend to be the most sanctimonious of the leftists, not to mention strident advocates of multiculturalism. The other is that supporters and producers of the arts need to know, that other cultures, specifically Islam, do not see the arts as Americans do.

Celebrity culture is uniquely an American experience even if it has been exported to many western nations. Rome for example, loved and admired the arts but felt Artists overall, were considerably lower in status than people in the trades. I tend to agree with the Romans.

In any case, now cyclists have been targeted in Saudi not so much because they are cyclists, but because they are infidels. The trial, if there is one, and the sentence, if there is one, will be very revealing as to how sharia law will view this, if indeed it is a crime at all.

The bigger point is, that in a world with increasingly higher numbers of Muslims being brought into western nations, nations which have a profound culture of their own but are in denial of it, we will start to see the following.

Our culture, which allows for people to make themselves very vulnerable to strangers from time to time, will begin to change those behaviours. That we will have to start to examine our food and where it is from more. To not use bicycles trivially for exercise and sport where we may be vulnerable to strangers in cars.

‘Situational awareness’ will become something people learning more and more circumstances and not just something taught to spies and security personnel. We already see this in aviation to a very large degree. Aviation is merely the first area where western civilization has grudgingly changed its sense of security to accommodate the multi cultural fantasy. But it will not be the last.

Our refusal to accept the fact that we are indeed at war with Islam, as we have been historically more often than not, means we will have to come up with more and more creative reasons why we are losing and why its somehow OK, or more likely, our own fault. Civilization has already thrown Israel and by extension Jewish people, under the bus. Israel’s foreign policy has aggravated the peaceful Muslims and made victims of the ‘Palestinians’ and they deserve what they get or some other rationalization.

There is also of course, massive denial of the facts on the ground for Jewish people world wide and especially in universities. Have a look at this stunning case of selective enforcement at York U. This is a very serious matter. This means that York has allowed the most vicious and hostile people to western ideas, the very ideas a university is supposed to perpetuate, to set the agenda, and the parameters of who may and may not speak, and what ideas may or may not be presented to the student body.

Granted this example of the cyclist was in Saudi Arabia but this is about stages. With larger numbers of Muslims, you get a larger demand for more and more strict applications of sharia law. Already at Carleton U. in Canada, the main bar, Roosters Pub, which was rumoured to be one of the largest beer outlets in North America, was forced to go booze free to accommodate Muslim ‘students’* who felt they had a right to be in there without being offended by the presence of infidels drinking.

Much more disturbingly, the facts, which at the time where printed in local newspapers etc. where hushed up and its very difficult to find evdience of this now. This by the way, was in the 1990s or earlier. I went in and interviewed staff members myself who refused to speak on the matter or denied knowing anything about why a massively profitable institution became dry.

It will be well worth watching the trial of those arrested for deliberately running over foreign workers in the KSA who were cycling. It is the future of our own nations. First in the behaviour, the attacking of the vulnerable in any way possible in order to destroy our trust based culture, and then in the judicial process that follows. All this I guarantee until and unless we admit in the west, that we are indeed at war, with Islam.

Islamic radicals ‘infiltrate’ the Labour Party

The Telegraph:

A Labour minister says his party has been infiltrated by a fundamentalist Muslim group that wants to create an “Islamic social and political order” in Britain.

The Islamic Forum of Europe (IFE) — which believes in jihad and sharia law, and wants to turn Britain and Europe into an Islamic state — has placed sympathisers in elected office and claims, correctly, to be able to achieve “mass mobilisation” of voters.

Speaking to The Sunday Telegraph, Jim Fitzpatrick, the Environment Minister, said the IFE had become, in effect, a secret party within Labour and other political parties.

“They are acting almost as an entryist organisation, placing people within the political parties, recruiting members to those political parties, trying to get individuals selected and elected so they can exercise political influence and power, whether it’s at local government level or national level,” he said.

“They are completely at odds with Labour’s programme, with our support for secularism.”

Mr Fitzpatrick, the MP for Poplar and Canning Town, said the IFE had infiltrated and “corrupted” his party in east London in the same way that the far-Left Militant Tendency did in the 1980s. Leaked Labour lists show a 110 per cent rise in party membership in one constituency in two years.

In a six-month investigation by this newspaper and Channel 4’s Dispatches, involving weeks of covert filming by the programme’s reporters:

  • IFE activists boasted to the undercover reporters that they had already “consolidated … a lot of influence and power” over Tower Hamlets, a London borough council with a £1 billion budget.
  • We have established that the group and its allies were awarded more than £10 million of taxpayers’ money, much of it from government funds designed to “prevent violent extremism”.
  • IFE leaders were recorded expressing opposition to democracy, support for sharia law or mocking black people. The IFE organised meetings with extremists, including Taliban allies, a man named by the US government as an “unindicted co-conspirator” in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, and a man under investigation by the FBI for his links to the September 11 attacks.
  • Moderate Muslims in London told how the IFE and its allies were enforcing their hardline views on the rest of the local community, curbing behaviour they deemed “un-Islamic”. The owner of a dating agency received a threatening email from an IFE activist, warning her to close it.
  • George Galloway, a London MP, admitted in recordings obtained by this newspaper that his surprise victory in the 2005 election owed more to the IFE “than it would be wise – for them – for me to say, adding that they played a “decisive role” in his triumph at the polls.

Mr Galloway now says they were one of many groups which supported his anti-war stance and had never sought to influence him.

The IFE has particularly close links to Tower Hamlets council. Seven serving and former councillors said Lutfur Rahman, the current council leader, gained his post with the group’s help.

Some said they were canvassed by a senior IFE official on his behalf. After Mr Rahman was elected, a man with close links to the group, Lutfur Ali, was appointed assistant chief executive of the council with responsibility for grant funding.

This was despite a chequered employment record, a misleading CV and a negative report from the headhunters appointed to consider the candidates. The council’s white chief executive was subsequently forced from his post.

Since Mr Rahman became leader, more council grants have been paid to a number of organisations which our investigation established are closely linked to the IFE.

Funding for other, secular groups was ended or cut. In the borough’s well-known Brick Lane area, council funds were switched from a largely secular heritage trail to a highly controversial “hijab sculpture”, angering many residents who accused the council of “religious triumphalism”.

Schools in Tower Hamlets are told by the council should close for the Muslim festival of Eid, even where most of their pupils are not Muslim.

Mr Rahman refused to deny that an IFE activist had canvassed councillors on his behalf. He said: “There are various people across Tower Hamlets who get excited, who get involved.”

He would not comment on concerns about infiltration, saying they were “party matters”. He said: “If you look at our flagship policies, like investing £20 million to tackle overcrowding, you can see that we are working for everyone.”

The IFE said it did not seek to influence the council and had not lobbied for Mr Rahman. “If anything, existing members of the Labour Party have joined the IFE, rather than the other way round,” it said.

The group insisted it was not a fundamentalist or extremist organisation and did not support violence.
