In a preamble to an announcement tomorrow from Theresa May requiring our Universities to be less submissive in their disturbing accommodation of militant Islam, Today had a “debate” between James Brandon, head of research at the Quilliam Foundation, and Nicola Dandridge, of Universities UK. Mr Brandon was sympathetic to the views of the Home Secretary and got a tough time by Justin Webb. He was interrupted, corrected and he even had to endure the BBC interviewer actually challenging his questions on behalf of Dandridge!!! Ms Dandridge herself was the typical Ivory Tower dhimmi one would expect but her views obviously resonate with the BBC and so she gets an easy ride whereas Mr Brandon was attacked. The BBC is Islam’s little helper and this interview was just a small example of all that it does for the Religion of Peace.
THE RIGHT TO PREACH HATRED…

I’ve no dpubt that every studio has an east-west orientated annexe for the use by those of the islamic persuasion, together with the necessary prayer mat, and IED instruction manual…
Whoops! Another Goat-bound fatwa….
I caught the start of a programme on R4 this morning which seemed to be about religion. Apparently someone has said that the Koran is very “flexible” and open to “interpretation” by “each generation”.
Leaving that centuries -old debate aside ( the BBC seemed to think it is new ), the Beeboid then went on to say that this is topical because David Cameron is to give a speech this week to “have a go ” at aspects of Islam which are not compatible with traditional British values.
The Beeboids choice of phrase ” have a go ” rather gives away the bias.
You don’t mean this, the Monday morning Marr vehicle that “sets the cultural agenda”?
Listen now (45 minutes) <!–/media–>… Ziauddin Sardar gives his take on the Qur’an, drawing contemporary lessons from this Sacred Text on everything from power and politics, to sex and evolution. …
Millie,
It could be, difficult to keep up with the BBC’s endless Islamic propaganda !
Start the Week, 6 June 2011, 9am
21:05 – 22:55
Zia Sardar: “… consensus can be wrong … the Qur’an says there’s no compulsion in religion … Islamic law, on the basis of consensus, says that apostates should be killed … we should accept error and there’s no – there’s nothing wrong with reading the Qur’an and making a mistake”
Andrew Marr: “mmm”
Jane Shaw (priest and historian): “OK”
Nothing wrong with the allegedly erroneous law that apostates should be killed?
That’s a great consolation to the apostates who have been murdered.
Well done Andrew Marr and Jane Shaw for accepting this “mistake” as being “OK “.
Getting quite shrill though from the BBCs mosque isn`t it?
Lots of calls to prayer but so much feedback and stuck loops from the PA that it is now see through comedy.
Sounds like James was not one of the reformed Islamists that the BBC like-but someone who actually(quelle horreur) knew his job and what Mrs Ambridges form was on this topic-the Beeb don`t like competence or people not going down their trammelled paths to pastel paradise.Luckily Justin knew as much about the whole issue as his gofer highlighted for him…and he blew it as usual.
Next up were two Beeb favoured lefties-godless,Blairist ciphers blowing the States privileges in bigger words than they. Tessie was furious wasnt she-how dare this Tony pitch his private uni near hers..oh the humanities!
Whole hour a masterclass in the BBCs naked irrelevance and redundance…and we here at this blog might as well follow their progress down the critical pathway with every bit of scorn and contempt these pubic lice deserve. Let it be Mr Tonys legacy to the nation…the political arm of the british people turned out to be only a one winged bustard(left,left, left…).
Hope they`ve got Nick on hand to tell me what I should have said here…
cj,
Nick says you have a Plan B , but you are just not telling anyone about it.
Islam Not BBC (INBBC) on ISLAM:
the range of opinion on Islam is from – 1.) Muslim Quilliam outfit, through 2.)University liberals, to 3.) INBBC itself –
‘dancing on the head of a pin’.
There is no other opinion on INBBC which is allowed to say that the main tenets of the ideology of Islam, in its jihad and sharia, are a direct threat to non-Muslims and that there such be severe restriction on:
a.) Islamic immigration to Britain;
b.) entry of Islamic jihad/sharia sympathisers to British universities and colleges.
This piece correctly goes beyond Islam Not BBC (INBBC)’s narrow range of treating the following vital issue as though it is something to ask the advice of Muslims on, while giving the very false impression that the Islamic threat from jihad and sharia only involves a ‘tiny minority’ of Muslims.
“David Cameron confronts Sharia law to assert British values”
http://archbishop-cranmer.blogspot.com/2011/06/david-cameron-confronts-sharia-law-to.html
(Or is Cameron merely a political chameleon: changing his political colours with each audience?)
I vote for the 2nd alternative.
The consolation of bad dreams is that they are usually swiftly forgotten; not so for Jez al Bowenadawi. He has dreamt of the true nature of Islam, & he cannot erase it – it is too awful. He knows what is to come. He wanders listless among the Beeboids, no longer a keeper of Islam’s flame. He is a traitor, to the traitors.
For he dreamt that Mehdi Hasan is now the DG. Black battle flags fly everywhere, even on Match of the Day. The Arab ‘spring’ sprang into a bloodthirsty triumph of irrationality – it is the 7th century, with mobile phones. The days when the Beeboids could safely indulge Islam & still lead their pampered lives are gone. The crescent moon is in the ascendant; & it finds the warped trendies of the White City nothing more than spineless slugs, outgrown their usefulness.
Dr Who has gone wahabi. Countryfile halal, then shi’ite. Victoria Derbyshire, in an act of retrospective Sharia ‘justice’, has been stoned for adultery. Bin Humfreez, the one-eyed Welsh Imam, banished to a sheep pen in the Brecon Beacons. Pasha Naughtie, stripped of the profits from the 1000 literary festivals he attends, has hurled himself down a well in deepest Tower Hamlets. Everywhere, Allah’s little helpers have been stripped of their ‘entitlements’.
But one has prospered: al Qo Urshun Marr, head of The Muslim Media Police. Once mocked as ‘Gollum’s dad’, he is now feared by all ; & he is hot on Jez’s trail. Jez wishes he could go back in time, wear safe cardigans, like Frank Bough – but it is too late. Too many years in the desert sun, too much wishful thinking, too many Muslim untruths gleefully swallowed. He has been betrayed by the ‘religion of pieces’. Now Jez wants revenge, a last, cleansing act of defiance.
It is night in the Beeboid mosque. Early hours, shadowy figures flit by. For days he has been drinking in a shebeen on the Goldhawk road; lucky to get that, now alcohol has been banned. An unshaven scruff of a man, his keffiyeh in tatters, he finds a dark secluded corner, & from a pocket of his flak jacket he takes a crispy copy of the Koran, the matchbox shakes in his quivering hand, then he hears the chilling jockney voice, ‘No! No! It’s al Qo Urshun Maaaaaaaaaargh…..’
Commission this now!
Better treatment than anything possibly avaliable in the Beebs constipated processing from our brightest young writers!
Speaking of preaching hatred, here is the Beeboid Corporation’s Book of the Week (on Radio 4):
Book of the Week
Malcolm X – A Life of Reinvention, Episode 1 7 days left to listen 1/5. An attempt to definitively capture one of the most iconic figures of the 20th century. Yes, it is the preacher of race hatred and advocate of black supremacy who the Beeboid Corporation is pleased to keep telling us is an “icon” or “an iconic figure” and devotes a week of readings to a book about him. Nice bit whitewashing there, eh? Oops, mustn’t use the word white. It signified evil in the “iconic” figure’s worldview.
Is this the man that Barack Obama should call ‘Daddy’? Or is that just a nasty rumour?
Time for a series on Eugene Terreblanche then is n`t it?
Good old BBC playing footsie with the bad boys again…every two bob Marxist in academe gets the same “icon” label now!
Trotsky, Mao, Hobsbawn,Toynbee, Miliband(R),Benn-self loathing ciphers of Stalins.
It would have been Hitler too had he won.
Luckily these sheep are all “-ists” with their “isms”. Not an original thought amongst them-unlike their heroes like Marx.
Stand a Thatcher against the cultural corkscrew that is Shirley Williams-no further evidence to be offered “m`lud”.
Malcolm X is iconic. It’s not a good or bad term, just that he represents something. And after all, he did get murdered because he didn’t want to be so extreme and violent any more.
It is used as a term carrying a sense of status and approval. You can tell by the people selected by Beeboids for this badge and those of whom they never would use it, as cj mentions above. Beeboids would not be calling Terreblanche an icon or iconic figure as that would be like giving him importance, not to mention approval. If they did use it of him, they would add some qualification, so that we would know that they were distancing themselves from this status and any implication of praise or approval. e.g. “iconic figure to racist South Africans”.
Beeboids could have called Malcolm X a notorious racist, militant, extremist…some of their favourite words. His extremist racist lowlife criminal ex-chums killed him, yes, so he didn’t have much time for a pacifist life.
Maybe David-but I take it as meaning “as in cultural icon”-Madonna, Ginola and the like.
No real knowledge of Malcolm X ,but the BBCs form is that bad that it`s always best to assume they like their Che, and their Stopes types.
If Christopher Hitchens approves of it,via Martin Amis etc-then it`ll be “iconic”
This programme was less than five minutes long. A lot of the listener’s time was wasted because the interviewees were still asserting at 2:25 and 3:40 the rather obvious point agreed by both that illegal activities should be banned. The interviewer could have established that agreement very quickly at the start of the interview and get onto the real issues, which were banning activities which could be considered lawful as free speech, and different levels of challenge to unacceptable preaching of intolerance designed to create hatred. There was barely a minute left at the end of the interview for discussion of these issues.
At 3:05, the interviewer is notably defending Nicola Dandridge from Brandon’s comment when he criticises her for inconsistency with statements made on previous interviews. While the interviewer did clarify the content of one of Dandridge’s statements in this interview, it meant that Brandon’s separate point about inconsistency was not put to her.
Alasdair!
You are confusing Justin Webb with an enquiring journalist. He is only in the BBC studios because he is not Ed Stourton,and finally knows who his real dad is.
His real dad was an embarrassment,but was not on Webbs scale of incompetence…a Matthew Parris mini-me who can be filed under Jeremy Vine tribute acts for convenience.
He is simply the sorry air freshener for the liberal elites continuing assault on reason,faith and professional journalism. A cockerel chorus for the BBCs Corporate Blag gets foisted upon the nation for 3 hours every morning…and we`re supposed to know the lyrics to their company song to have any input in what exactly we pay these puff adders for.
Still-Nick Robinson could translate that into my denial of global warming-and a need for a Plan B no doubt. Depends how we pay him.
Justin Webb said that preaching that infidels or Muslims who don’t pray should be killed is considered “free speech”, as long as you don’t mention any individuals by name. It’s not hate speech at all if it’s not personal? What planet is he on?
Well spotted David.
I heard that ,but never though about it.
Now you`ve said it, it`s appalling and shows the sheer shallow slapdash approach to absolving Islam of its responsibilities…as well as the throwaway remarks that make for a quiet life for him-but the implications for the rest of us won`t concern him.
Justin should replace the word “infidels” with “Beeboids” and see how he feels. Moron.
For a dogmatic Islam Not BBC (INBBC):
“The breeding grounds of terror”
by Professor Anthony Glees
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/terrorism-in-the-uk/8560409/The-breeding-grounds-of-terror.html
Had the sound turned down on Newsnight but did see that Hazel Blears was opposite some bearded type-obviously a student or such.
Let me guess now-was our `azel saying that Theresa May has got it all wrong, and did the student say that the very raisng of this issue is racist and needs reflectd,mature, grown up debate?
Hazel would not have been pressed on what her Government did to fan the flames we`re seeing(let alone her expenses), and having a pop at the utterly useless Theresa May is all a bit pointless.
Who needs to hear it?
A bearded person from an association of student Islamic societies. I caught a few minutes of it: it’s unfair to demonise Muslim students and we must maintain free speech in universities, blah blah.
Hm…ah yes, free speech in universities. Supposing you are oh, I don’t know, Jewish student or an Israeli academic, or even a non-Israeli, non-Jewish supporter of Israel or a critic of aspects of Islam… how about it then? Chance would be a fine thing!
Who is Hazel Blears ?
A Salford lass in bike leathers who can write a check for the chip shop to the tune of £15,000 if there`s a camera nearby and expenses to pay back?
An utter waste of space,but hopefully will be the BBCs M.P when they all decamp to “meet the workers in situ” next year.
Cost of crack already rising on the Langworthy estate nearby-good for the economy “surlement”!
