French mosque vandalized with anti-Islam graffiti

Posted on by

…and as is so often the case, the culprit is likely a Muslim unhappy with the leadership of this particular Islamic beachhead. H/T Snaphanen

Hurriyet Daily:

Vandals have targeted a French mosque in a graffiti attack, tagging the worship center with swastikas and anti-Islam slogans, officials said earlier today.

The attack was discovered by worshippers arriving for morning prayers at the mosque in Ozoir-La-Ferriere, a small town 35 kilometers east of Paris.

Photographs of the mosque show at least two swastikas painted on the facade, as well as an explicit anti-Islam slogan and “Long Live Gaul,” the ancient Roman-era name for France. Police were investigating the incident.

In the eastern city of Besançon, two mosques were also vandalized with a Star of David – commonly used by the Nazis to identify Jews.

Sources close to the inquiry, however, cautioned that the vandalism was not necessarily triggered by anti-Islam sentiment and said investigators were looking at several leads, including whether it was carried out by an unhappy worshipper.

Geert Wilders forms organization to stop mosques in Holland modeled after Gavin Boby

Bonn Germany February 2, 2013

Gavin Boby will be speaking in Ottawa at the main branch of the Ottawa Public Library tomorrow, February 4th at 7:00 PM on Metcalf St.

This is a sticky post. All newer posts will be below this one for today and tomorrow.

 

“This Symbol of Hatred”

Posted on by

Geert Wilders, possibly inspired by England’s Gavin Boby, has started a new initiative to stop the construction of mosques in The Netherlands.

Here is a post from Gates of Vienna:

Geert Wilders has launched an initiative that aims to do for the Netherlands what Gavin Boby has done recently in the UK. He calls it “MoskNee” (“MosqueNo”), and it even has its own website.

The following article appeared today in Algemeen Dagblad. Many thank to our Dutch correspondent Willem for the translation:

“Every mosque that we can stop is a victory”

The PVV leader Geert Wilders has launched a new website: MoskNee (MosqueNo). A self-help program for people who do not want a mosque next to their home.

The site went online at 6am this morning, prior to the start of Mr. Wilders’ mosque tour in Enschede. “To those who do not agree, I say you can start your own website MoskJa (MosqueYes).”

Earlier the PVV tried to ban the construction of minarets, the construction of mosques, and, in its latest election program, the construction of mosques in residential areas. Up until now all of these legal initiatives have been unsuccessful.

Now Wilders takes a different approach: a guide for people who want to employ existing regulations in order to postpone the building of a mosque indefinitely. We asked Wilders a few questions:

What is your problem with mosques?

The mosque is a symbol of an ideology of hatred, violence and oppression. We must fight this. We currently have 450 mosques in the Netherlands, and the number is growing. People contact us from Zoetermeer to Almere and Enschede. They are worried. People are afraid. They do not want a mosque next to their home.

Your last proposal was: no mosque in residential areas.

That is a minimum. Build them in an industrial area or next to a pig farm. They are often symbols of imperialism. Not nice if you have to live next to them.

Millionaire businessman ordered to remove Islamic creed in 2ft-high lettering from side of his £750,000 home because council claims it’s as ‘obtrusive as McDonald’s ad’

Daily Mail:

  • Message reads: ‘There is no god but Allah, and Mohammed is his messenger’
  • Planners claim the 2ft-high lettering is like McDonald’s advertising hoarding
  • Mahmood Ali, 54, is now facing a legal battle in ‘freedom of speech’ row
  • He said: ‘The message is simply there to bless the house. It is not an advert’

A millionaire businessman has been ordered to remove an Islamic message from the side of his luxury house because council chiefs say it is advertising, it emerged today.

Mahmood Ali, 54, fell out with planners over the wording, taken from the Arabic creed, which reads: ‘There is no god but Allah, and Mohammed is his messenger’.

Known as shahada, the message declares the belief in the oneness of God and acceptance of Muhammad as his prophet.

The inscription, in 2ft-high green lettering, has been placed across a first-floor archway on his large detached house in a residential street.

'Breaches planning laws': Millionaire businessman Mahmood Ali faces a court battle over this Islamic slogan on his house in Newport, South Wales, after the council ordered it be removed because it is 'advertising'‘Breaches planning laws’: Millionaire businessman Mahmood Ali faces a court battle over this Islamic slogan on his house in Newport, South Wales, after the council ordered it be removed because it is ‘advertising’

But he is now in a legal battle with planning chiefs, who classed it as the same as an advertising hoarding like a McDonald’s or Marks & Spencer banner.

East London Mosque condemns homophobia, yet advertised four anti-gay speakers last month alone

Posted on by

The East London Mosque. I wonder what else we can find out about it. Check each word linked above.

H/T EDL Buck

From The Telegraph:

http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/files/2010/11/Picture-1.png

I was offered the “Muslim patrol” story in Tower Hamlets, where self-proclaimed “Muslim vigilantes” filmed themselves verbally abusing and intimidating a gay man. Perhaps wrongly, I didn’t use it because I wasn’t sure whether a few kids on YouTube had national importance. I am glad, however, that the local police appear to be taking it seriously for once – in contrast to their lamentable attempts to ignore, downplay and cover up previous acts of “Islamic enforcement” and bigotry in the East End.

One Tower Hamlets organisation of undoubted national importance that continues to laugh up its sleeve at us is the East London Mosque, the capital’s largest. The mosque’s PR machine lost no time cranking out a statement condemning the “vigilantes” and claiming that the mosque was “committed to building co-operation and harmony between all communities in this borough. The actions of this tiny minority have no place in our faith.” This claim has been trustingly repeated by various journalists in the coverage this week. But, as the most cursory investigation would show, it is a brazen lie.

There is no evidence that the East London Mosque is directly involved in the latest attacks. But at least one activist in the Islamic Forum of Europe, the Islamic supremacist group that runs the mosque, has previously threatened and intimidated people for violating “Islamic norms,” using the IFE’s name.

Mosques, Gavin Boby, and Sam Solomon

Posted on by

Gavin is coming to speak in Ottawa, Montreal and Toronto soon. I have republished part of the ‘Act for Canada’ press release once already but will do so a few times more before the events begin.

One of the most important questions that should be asked by anyone, people on the side of the preservation of liberal democracy for example, (hopefully all of us at Vlad) is,

‘Why should we stop the construction of mosques’?

While Gavin answers this well in his Australian speech, I thought this might be a good time to republish one of my first interviews. June 2010 with Sam Solomon in Ottawa right before he spoke at the International Free Press Society/Free Thinking Films event with Bat Ye’or and David G Littman (RIP)

Here, Sam Solomon, once a well respected sharia legislator in the Islamic world, clearly explains what a mosque is, and what it is not.

Once again, from ACT for CANADA:

Gavin Boby is a British lawyer who specializes in town planning law. He runs The Law and Freedom Foundation, dedicated to preserving a lawful society that protects freedom. Their first project is a legal effort to assist community groups, on a pro-bono basis, if they are faced with inappropriate planning applications for more mosques in their neighborhood. They focus on legal procedure but also on the nature of Islamic doctrine and as a result have won 16 out of 17 cases.

 

The National Post just disclosed that a Canadian Security Intelligence Service’s (CSIS) report stated that “a large number of venues” that are used by Sunni “Islamist extremists” are “radicalizing Canadians” across Canada.  In this Canadian context Gavin Boby’s message is even more relevant.

 

The Muslim Brotherhood, operating in Canada, just purchased a 10,000 square foot building in a Montreal neighborhood. On record, this will be the 4th real estate acquisition in a very short time span. Last fall, the Muslim Association of Canada (MAC) was also involved with the establishment of a new Mosque in Quebec City that also needed rezoning. In Edmonton, the Lessard community countered the establishment of a MAC run school in their neighborhood for fear of radicalization. Again, several zoning laws have already been transgressed by the local MAC- run Mosque and in several new Saudi and Muslim Brotherhood linked Mosques that have been built. In Ottawa, MAC is also administering several venues, one of which is the Abraar school that made international headlines because “two teachers (…) who praised a pupil’s essay about killing Jews with hand grenades” were suspended.

 

Why should we be concerned about the Muslim Brotherhood operating in Canada?

 

The former Chair in Islamic Studies at the University of Alberta described how the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood “hoped to change the status of the Mosque, bringing it from a static place of worship to a center of Islamic revolution. “(pp. 76-77)

 

Youssef Qaradawi unconditionally endorsed by leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood operating in Canada describes the role of the Mosque in these words: “To guide public policy of a Nation, raise awareness of critical issues and reveal its enemies. From ancient times the Mosque has had a role in urging Jihad for the sake of Allah.”

‘Mosque buster’ claims he can stop ‘tide of Islam’ by giving free advice on how to block building plans for new places of worship

Posted on by

Daily Mail does a story on our hero, Gavin Boby.

To be clear, a mosque is not a church nor is it any kind of analogue for one. It is a military, legal and political structure. It is for passing decrees, making weapons and storing them when expedient, sending out assassins and planning terrorist attacks, all things you pretty much never see in a church or temple.

Gavin’s mission exemplifies what the PM of England at one point recently referred to as, ‘Muscular liberalism’ even though they would never dare admit it in public for political reasons. Gavin is what all centrists, classical liberals and indeed even those left of center should be supporting if those leftists actually supported the beliefs they purport to.

The mail article downloaded and edited one of my early interview with Gavin but for anyone unaware of who he is and what he is about, watch this recent speech given in late 2012 in Australia.

A planning lawyer and self-styled ‘mosque buster’ claims he is fighting to stop the ‘tide of Islam’ by successfully blocking plans for the building of mosques across the UK.

Gavin Boby, once linked to the far-right English Defence League, boasts he has already blocked plans for 16 out of 17 mosques being built.

Under the banner of the Law and Freedom Foundation, he calls for people to come to him for free professional legal help in opposing mosque proposals and claims that Islam encourages paedophilia, sexual abuse and pimping.

He claims to help followers resist planing applications for mosque developments by raising opposition with councils.

The 48-year-old says in a video posted online: ‘If anyone out there knows of an application for a new mosque, a cultural centre for some phoney community centre or some multi-faith inter-faith harmony institute then let me know.’

Mr Boby, from Bristol, runs a planning consultancy but also provides legal assistant for those who oppose mosque developments, according to the Sunday Times.

On the foundation website he claims to have stopped the construction of 16 out of 17 mosques in total.

Pig’s head dumped at Thurnby Lodge centre used for prayers by Muslims

Posted on by

And of course, British media and courts etc. will treat this with equal or greater importance and severity than they do when Muslims commit real crimes as opposed to improper food storage ordinances, if such exist there.

Much more importantly however, is the fact of how Muslims usurp communal property and make it a proprietarily Islamic one and force out all other groups or uses. For an excellent lecture on that please see Gavin Boby’s speech in Melbourne. This is clearly the issue here. That other residents and taxpayers of this area are annoyed that a public community center is now a mosque and nothing but a mosque.

H/T Magic Martin

This is Leicestershire

A pig’s head has been left at the doors of a community centre used as a Muslim place of worship.

Thurnby Lodge Community Centre, in Leicester, is used for prayers by Muslim group As Salaam.

  1. ?Policelogo

    Anyone with any information about the incident is asked to contact police on 101

In recent months, the centre has become the focus of a row over the group’s desire to pray instead at a neighbouring disused Scout hut, owned by Leicester City Council.

Muslims going to and from prayers at the centre have had to walk past protesters who say the Scout hut should be for wider community use.

At 7.30am on Wednesday, Muslims who arrived to unlock the community centre in Thurncourt Road found a pig’s head by the automatic front door.

Muslims are forbidden from eating pork and many consider pigs to be unclean animals, and leaving a pig’s head at the doors is an insulting gesture to Muslims.

DOJ Forces Mega-Mosque on Norwalk, CT Community

Residents of the area of the proposed mosque were not bigoted; they were worried about traffic and safety. (Screenshot: wtnh.com)The Al-Madany Islamic Center of Norwalk in Connecticut wasn’t ready to give up when its proposal for a 27,000 square foot facility was turned down by the zoning commission over matters completely unrelated to religion. The Islamic Center sued, asserting—as you might have guessed—it was religious discrimination. The cry of “Islamophobia” got the Justice Department on its side, and the zoning commission suddenly changed its mind after a closed session.

The current Islamic Center was established in 1999 and serves 100 families. Feeling that more space was needed, the Center purchased the property in 2008 and made the $3.5 million proposal in the spring of 2010. It calls for a facility with an 80 foot minaret to serve as a community center and mosque, including eight classrooms, two libraries, three offices, a kitchen, a gymnasium and other rooms. It has a capacity for 1,000 people.

Law and Freedom Foundation: Santa Brings Us Another Win!

A very Merry Christmas, and a wonderful New Year to all our kind sympathisers. May the following thoughts cheer you in these difficult times!

Inside the unlawful Cricklewood Mosque. Not a mosque, surely?

Inside the unlawful Cricklewood Mosque. Not a mosque, surely?

Few of our liberal-left opponents have any real guts.

We get plenty of abuse, which is one of the things that keeps us going.

Otherwise, it tends to be the moral exhibitionism of people anxious for the good opinion of those who agree with them. People with such needs tend to be too selfish to do much. And there are few other reasons – e.g. being a treacherous nutcase – for a non muslim to cut a pro-islam pose.

Substantive opposition is usually self serving, especially if money is involved.

E.g. if you sue someone for non payment of a bill, their response is that it is beneath their principles to cough up to an islamophobe. Or if a BBC guy wants to pose as macho, he’ll pick on an islamophobe.

This behaviour is as far removed from principle as you can get, based on the assumption that an islamophobe is a weak target. And they get a surprise.

Gavin Boby: Melbourne Australia speech to the Q society

Posted on by

The audio is sub optimal but hopefully people will be willing to take the time and effort to listen to this important short speech by Gavin Boby of Law and Freedom Foundation on how to stop mosques from going up in your neighborhood and perhaps more importantly, why you should stop them. Turn up the speakers or wear headphones or whatever you have to do to understand this. It is worth the effort.

I hope to have better files of this speech over time and be able to improve it more than I have so far but for the moment this is all there is.

UP to 15,000 militant Islamists are set to descend on east London this week to pressure town hall chiefs into allowing a 9,000 capacity mega-mosque.

 

Supporters of Islamist sect Tablighi Jamaat are irate after Newham Council rejected plans for the group’s new HQ.

The sect, which has been linked to shoe bomber Richard Reid and 7/7 terrorists Mohammed Siddique Khan and Shehzad Tanweer, owns the Abbey Mills site near the Olympic Park in West Ham.

In a YouTube video, extremist cleric Sheikh Haitham al-Haddad urged Muslims to come together to support what should be a “big Islamic symbol in the heart of London”.
