Gavin Boby: Montreal Feb 5 2013
Thank you very much CB for filming this for us.

Gavin Boby speaks at Ottawa Public Library Feb 4 2013 Part 1
The file sizes are large and the rendering/exporting times are massive as I notice the lighting at the library was truly horrific and many very demanding plug-ins had to be used to try and make it look a little normal. So to export about 13 minutes took well over 6 hours.
Hopefully you will feel it was worth it.
I hope to have the rest of this video uploaded within the next 48 hours.
Thank you very much to the hard-working film crew who worked pro-bono to shoot this footage.
The initial seconds of the clip is a high speed walk through of another press conference that was taking place upstairs immediately before Gavin spoke, presumably by CAIR-CAN but certainly by Muslims and others in opposition to Gavin’s speech.
It also needs to be said, that the Library people, and the city councillor involved, Jan Harder, acted with a tremendous amount of integrity. This is triply true as it is a safe assumption that neither agreed with the views expressed by Mr. Boby (Ottawa City Council is practically full-on Marxist) yet they were far more ready to defend the rights of freedom of speech than to give in to what was likely their own beliefs. This, in my world, constitutes genuine principle and I hope if Jan Harder stands for re election all in her ward support her as that sort of principle is extremely rare in politics and everywhere.

I’m sure everyone knows the old saying, “There’s a sucker born every minute.” Well, the sentiment might make a worthy motto for the Canadian Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-CAN) in its attempts to stymie those who question extremist Islam.
CAIR-CAN, it appears, would like Canadians to believe it has discovered the virtues of tolerance, inclusiveness, diversity and, most marvelous of all, freedom of thought and speech. Nonetheless, the organization wanted the Ottawa Public Library to cancel a Monday night speech by British “mosquebuster” Gavin Boby, the founder of group devoted to “resisting the tide of Islam” in the United Kingdom. Boby uses legal processes and municipal bylaws to help Britons who don’t want mosques built in their neighbourhoods. He’s apparently been quite successful.
Naturally, CAIR-CAN objects to such ideas. What’s interesting, though, is how the organization presents its opposition. To be sure, it still tosses around words and phrases meant to shut down debate or intimidate those who challenge it; you know, words such as “Islamophobic” and “anti-Muslim hate-monger.” But in this particular case it is also casting itself in a politically correct mode.

Some choice quotes on one of the London Mosque-patrols enforcing sharia in England
H/T Snaphanen.Dk
As there seems to be so much controversy surrounding Gavin Boby’s talk in Ottawa today, Montreal tomorrow and Toronto on Wednesday, it seemed timely to post yet another muslim-patrol video. Just in case anyone has any doubts as to the nature of a mosque or its comparative values relative to a church or temple.
You hardly ever hear about Buddhist temple patrols or Hindu ‘youth’ enforcing proper treatment of cows or elephants in Indian areas. But with Muslims, it is common everywhere.
Here is an interesting letter to the Ottawa Library about what happened to an area of Montreal once a mosque was built. The letter was sent in order to clarify a few things about Gavin’s speech. I have left the name of the sender out till I have direct permission to post it, but this is the letter she sent to the Library.
Dear Ms. McDonald,
I have been made aware of a letter sent to you by CAIR CAN regarding a speaking event to be held on the premises of the Ottawa Public Library. The speaker will be Mr. Gavin Boby. CAIRCAN aka The Muslim Brotherhood (MB) has known of this event for quite some time but chose to intimidate you at the last moment. Such are the tactics of the MB.
I was a resident of a Montreal borough for 16 years. The borough authorized the construction of a mosque not far from my home. Nobody opposed it but shortly after its construction, all regretted it.
Citizens can no longer walk their dogs without being threatened or having their dogs assaulted on the sidewalks. Citizens have great difficulty selling their homes and when they do, it can sometimes take years and the price must be lowered considerably. Parking became a major issue because the side streets are taken up by mosque members. The mosque now has its own public security directing vehicles on Fridays to the side streets and traffic congests as each mosque member’s car is redirected to any open slot available. Citizens can no longer invite many guests to their homes not only on Friday but also during the Ramadan month since guests have nowhere to park. The situation got so bad that even the corner Dairy Queen closed down.
Immediately following the construction of the mosque, the French private Academy school located next door had to sell and it was bought up by an Islamic school. Many local eateries sold and became hallal.
I refuse all hallal since the spinal cord is not cut (contrary to kosher). The animal suffers horribly since pain and terror signals are sent to the brain until the poor animal bleeds out completely. Hallal is the most barbaric slaughter of all.
More and more mayors are not allowing new mosques in residential neighborhoods for these reasons. Instead they suggest the mosques be built in industrial zoning areas. Since all terrorists frequent mosques, industrial zoning also makes it easier for law enforcement and counter-terrorism agencies to perform their duties.
The letter MB-CAIR sent to you is the standard issue letter it sends to all organizations it wants to coerce, replete with the same fallacies about the event to be held and loaded with intimidating CCs to corner you.
I truly hope you do not submit to such scare tactics and allow the citizens the opportunity to learn how to protect their most valuable possession, their home, and how to redirect a zone change. The citizens will benefit from this event as well as all future mosques and policing agencies.
In ending, what Mr. Gardee did not tell you about his organization falsely labeled as human rights:
CAIR-CAN and the entire Muslim Brotherhood network in North America is described in no uncertain terms:
The Ikhwan (Muslim Brotherhood) must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and “sabotaging” its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God’s religion is made victorious over all other religions… It is a Muslim’s destiny to perform Jihad and work wherever he is and wherever he lands until the final hour comes.”
This memorandum was seized by police and produced for evidentiary purposes in two Holy Land Foundation trials that took place in the U.S. in 2007 and 2008. These trials led to the convictions of the accused for having funded terrorism (GMBDR).
I thank you for your consideration in reading me and I know all will go well on Monday night.
The khuffar, you can go to hell; this is not a Christian country. Christianity, you can go to hell.” “We are in East London, we are in South London, we are in North London… the police cannot stop us, the khuffar cannot stop us. We are coming to implement Islam immediately.” He continues: “anyone who tries to stop us, we will take their alcohol, we will tell the women to cover up, and we will implement Islam upon your own necks [sic] David Cameron.”“Christianity can go to hell” says NEW Muslim Patrol video – SE også Islamister: Vores børn skal ikke have danske værdier
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”
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.
You can hear Gavin speak in Ottawa Monday night at 7:00 at Ottawa’s main public library.
Gavin Boby speaks in Ottawa, Montreal and Toronto this coming week!

7:00 p.m. sharp
Gavin Boby, from the Law & Freedom Foundation, U.K.
Place: Ottawa Public Library
Address: 120 Metcalfe Street (cross St. – Laurier)
Cost: $10.00; students and seniors free
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.”
Mosques, Gavin Boby, and Sam Solomon
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:

The Sunday Times: Theft, and a Hatchet Job Against Gavin Boby
Gates of Vienna:
Regular readers are familiar with Gavin Boby of Law and Freedom. For the past couple of years Gavin has been tireless in his opposition to the construction of new mosques in England through action in local planning councils.
Yesterday The Sunday Times published what it must have believed was a hit piece on Gavin. They accused him of “ideological hatred of Islam” and connected him with “the far-right blog Gates of Vienna”.
I can’t show you the whole piece, because it’s behind a paywall. But here’s a screen shot of the top of the article by Richard Kerbaj and Robin Henry:
And a brief snip from the opening of the article:
A SELF-STYLED “mosque buster”, who boasts that he has blocked plans for 16 mosques across Britain, was once linked to the far-right English Defence League (EDL) and claims that Islam encourages paedophilia, sexual abuse and pimping.
Gavin Boby, a planning lawyer from Bristol, urges his followers to undermine planning applications for mosques by raising their opposition with councils.
Boby, 48, runs a planning consultancy but under the banner of the Law and Freedom Foundation he also provides a free legal service for those who oppose mosque developments…
More than that I dare not quote, for fear of exceeding “fair use” and violating the copyright of The Sunday Times.
Interestingly enough, the Times itself seems to be a bit slack about copyright.
The photo at the top of the article looked familiar to me. It was obviously taken last July at the Brussels Conference sponsored by ICLA in the European Parliament.
With a little bit of digging, I uncovered the original. It was taken by my good friend Steen of Snaphanen, and posted on his blog last December.
If you look at the full-sized version of the photo, you’ll notice that it is clearly watermarked with “Foto © Snaphanen.dk”.
Trivialities such as copyright are no obstacle to The Sunday Times, however. The editors must have passed the photo on to one of their graphics specialists, who edited out the pesky watermark. Look at the two detail shots below — on the left you’ll see Steen’s original, and on the right is a blowup of the Times’ edited version:
You’ll notice that the graphics editor was a bit sloppy, and left in a fragment of Steen’s © to the left of the microphone.
Whoops!
The evidence is clear. Even an amateur like myself can see that the venerable Sunday Times stole that image from Steen.

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

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.
