Why can’t we admit we’re scared of Islamism?
The article reveals that an art exhibition examining freedom of expression had to be moved to a different location due to ‘threats’ towards the gallery….
‘Enemies of the exhibition’ had made threats, and it was worried about a ‘potential terrorist attack’
The article continues:
There was no secret about its decision. But not one of the arts correspondents for the broadsheets or BBC covered the threat to an international exhibition featuring the work of dozens of artists. I have argued many times that censorship is at its most effective when no one admits it exists. The first step to freeing yourself from oppressive power is to find the courage to admit that you are afraid. The more people confess to being afraid, the less reason there is to fear and the easier it is to isolate repressive forces.
Such threats to relatively small events are the tip of the iceberg…the massive drive by Muslim nations to silence any criticism at all of Islam is extraordinarily sinister and should be resisted at all costs.
Of course people have to know what is going on.
But they don’t.
There is already seems to be a self imposed silence on this reinvention of the Spanish Inquisition:
The OIC Secretary General appears to be laying the diplomatic groundwork to persuade non-elected bureaucrats at EU headquarters to enact hate-speech legislation that would limit by fiat what 500-million European citizens — including democratically elected politicians — can and cannot say about Islam
The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), an influential bloc of 57 Muslim countries, has officially inaugurated a Permanent Observer Mission to the European Union (EU). The primary objective of the OIC, headquartered in Saudi Arabia and funded by Islamic countries around the world, has long been to pressure Europe and the United States into passing laws that would ban “negative stereotyping of Islam.”
I can’t find any references on the BBC to the OIC’s drive to impose Islam upon the World…..as you can see from the Spectator’s article there is already a willingness from Judges in Europe to silence any critic of Islam by labelling such criticism as ‘racist’….
a criminal record for condemning honour killings and clerical misogyny — proving yet again that the interests of women always come last.
Of course the law of untended consequences could come into play.
If criticism of any religion is to be banned then the Koran would have to be banned, and Islam along with it……the hate that spews out of the Koran for non-Muslims must surely raise a few Judicial eyebrows:
‘The unbelievers among the People of the Book and the pagans shall burn for ever in the fire of Hell. They are the vilest of creatures.’ 98:6
Believers take neither Jews nor Christians for your friend. 5:51
‘Fight against such of those to whom the scriptures were given as believe in neither God nor the Last Day, who do not forbid what God and His Apostle have forbidden, and do not embrace the true faith, even if they are People of the Book, until they pay tribute out of hand and are utterly subdued.’ 9:29
‘Make war on them until idolatry shall cease and God’s religion shall reign supreme.’ 8:39
Meanwhile the bBC gives you this happy family story:
the link:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-24869363
Yes I noticed this was the lead ‘feature’ on the BBC’s web site ,where as this story
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-24889924
was relegated to page 95 of any other parish news.
Just as with Wootton Bassett, the BBC find themselves disconnected from ,surprised by and contemptuous of, the consensus zeitgeist.
http://news.sky.com/story/1167029/harold-percival-wwii-veterans-funeral-held
Let’s click on that feature, shall we? It might explain to us why it is given such prominent billing. Well, no. It appears to be apropos of nothing. The only explanation is this:
“Amiir’s story was told to journalist Benjamin Dix and drawn by artist Lindsay Pollock, from the collection Meet the Somalis by the Open Society Foundations.”
So, let’s have a look at the web page for the Open Society Foundations.
“We help protect and improve the lives of people in marginalized communities.”
“Chronic human rights abuses are happening in the U.S. immigration detention system—at a $2 billion cost to taxpayers. Take a rare look inside”
“Ethnic profiling—the targeting of specific individuals or groups based on appearance—is unlawful and ineffective. Why does the practice continue, and how can we combat it?”
“The International Migration Initiative seeks to address systemic exploitation, discrimination, and violence against migrants at every stage of their journey.”
Well, no obvious agenda there. But how nice of the Beeb to give this organisation some free publicity.
Unfortunately the sort of people that would attend a UK WW2 veteran’s funeral don’t match the BBC’s vision of ‘multicultural’ Britain so the BBC needs to lead with the ‘right’ sort of picture, even if it has to be one imported from the USA.
Great catch there pounce/stewart etal.
This picture clearly exhibits what the BBC would like to have seen in Lytham…multiculti, gender-inclusive and full of stuffed puffed shirts with nice uniforms.
No disrespect to these US folks…but this was WW2, happened on the day after Remembrance Sunday and not a US soldier was in sight as far as the pictures showed(from reputable sources like Sky, Mail etc).
The BBC are just so evil and creepy these days that they`d slip this one by us…media massaging 24/7.
Hope they`ve breached copyright or US security guidelines…and somebody takes them to court for contempt.
Which is what the BBC have shown the ex-serviceman…and show to us all, and all the time.
Did Snowdon or Greenwald supply this picture?…why else would the BBC flag it up?
The audio header picture has now been ‘updated’ to show one actually related to Mr Percival rather than the multi-racial US army one above.
There is absolutely no reason for this article to be on the BBC. There is no explanation for why it is there. There was no point of reference. It’s about a Somali living in Norway for crying out loud. What relevance has this article to anything about anything. I’d expect that sort of thing from Stasi Germany, Nazi Germany and North Korea. It is sick political propaganda wrapped up as a children’s cartoon. Frightening.
Well said Pollystuscanvilla
all so “happy clappy”, “multikulti”, ” ershti bershti” !
oops!
‘Young men… from other countries’. Uh-huh.
And quite why the victim’s sobriety, in this case total, was even raised, raises an eyebrow with this ever alert to an ‘ism reader.
She was, frankly, avoiding ‘going near’ a lot of dodgy areas, though answered most questions directly. She also fell back on a lot of PC bollocks… ‘traumatised men’!!!!
At risk of being ungallant, the freeze frame rather makes her look at best like a copper from one of those ITV Comedies where the actors were not being paid enough to get haircuts in character, or the high point of a stag night in a care home.
One is sure that she was of course employed and promoted for her skills in placing miscreants behind bars.
What is supposed to be the point of that ludicrous propaganda comic strip? And what has it got to do with the BBC?
“What is supposed to be the point of that ludicrous propaganda comic strip? And what has it got to do with the BBC?”
Its on their News Website:
Amiir and Family: Somalis in Norway
‘ludicrous propaganda comic strip’
Indeed.
Interesting too that the BBC has resorted to the medium of cartooning to illustrate peaceful co-existence and harmony, when things can on occasion go a smidge astray if the wrong characters are felt by some to be incorporated.
Peppa Pig also may not long be with us, I fear.
How dare they insult our intelligence with such infantile drivel!!!
Oh thanks for this.
Our BBC eh?
Well let`s see about that.
1. I do hope that the family were taken out in the school holidays to return to Somalia….and that the girls were still intact when they returned and without seedy old blokes as husbands…if indeed they returned at all.
2. I hope too that the family chose the greener option to take an eco-friendly dhow along the Somali shore, as opposed to an anonymous, western eco-trashing thing like a plane. Surely a chance to meet joyful enriching pirates offering surfing lessons and a chance to live out the Jack Sparrow romantic idyll.
3. Did our family enrich their experience by hopping over that border to Kenya for a little “retail therapy”?…is Whitegate back to normal now, or are those security suits screwing up in the car park again?…Al Shabab surely have the right to buy fireworks don`t they?
4. Let`s hope that those kids of theirs managed not to become a Tracy Beaker story….in which case, we`d have a series of Uncle Omars and clans making a beeline to the care home between Friday prayers and the taxi rank turning off the only street lights in the f***in area.
That`s the BBCs problem…they don`t give us the full story, or feel able to extrapolate…think they`d let me draw the above sketches?…or am I not to do cartoons of Islam wahtsoever?
Need I ask?
“Open Society Foundations” – founded by George Soros.
Can you imagine the BBC’s online magazine unquestioningly promoting propaganda from a Koch Bros website? Not a fucking chance.
Maybe the BBC will commission a cartoon that tells the story of this Somali woman from neighbouring Sweden:
Or maybe not.
The BBC’s online Magazine – anyone know who the editor is?
Appears to be one Steve Herrmann
(He not our Hermann the German is he?)
I can find no bio. for him
Cripes, really?
Our Steve is well known to any who used to swing by ‘The Editors’ blog (when anyone at the BBC swung by there, mind).
That said, he was one more prone to the broadcast-only and bail post.
Like Hugs, only without the awesome levels of respect only a top floor slot can engender.
Laughing boy Hermann? Isn’t he overall editor of BBC News online? There must be a Magazine editor under him. The BBC loves giving out titles and the chain of command is clearly complicated for a reason. Lower down this thread Guest Who says the info is probably FOI-excluded. He’s only half-joking.
Probably FoI-excluded.
Everything else is.
Can anyone help me to produce a link to this vid that I can paste into a facebook posting.
It’s Al Beebs version of The Broons (Browns)
What a lovely story, I wonder why they missed out the part where her clitoris was excised?
From the group, for the in depth study of political Islam.
all the stats are there.
The OIC is a disgusting travesty, that has polluted the already disreputable UN Council, the absurd “blasphemy” law imperative, churning out endless reams of “Islamofauxbia” reporting nonsense
… Warsi/Pickles, there are no words
Brilliant-seen before, and can`t be watched enough.
Thanks noggin.
A scientist who did not use his maths and physics to prove his thesis on Islam, but used a basic principle of science – the law of contradiction. I found his explanation of the fear of Islam scary and accurate. Add to his conclusion that the west, Christians in particular, are scared because they are victims, are facts related to the financial power – oil revenues – which is having such an influence in universities, research and thee purchase of politicians.
This man is a scientist!
Not a bought up quisling apologist for Islam who spouts multiculti history like Mary Beard,,…but a real scientist.
And probably one of the few not bought up by the eco lobby with their fatuous climate change bollox either.
In this one lecture, he scorches the whole multiculti, brainless surrender to Islam, using data…remember that, boffins?
No wonder we`ve now got the lily-livered lavender Looby loos teaching condom control and battery disposal instead of science in our schools.
Following the facts is dangerous mens work, and pure science…the likes of Harrabin and Cox will be wetting themselves.
Or will that be warming of the icecubes that cools their sperm ducts?
A scientist, but he has a mere PhD in physics and math. No background on anything to do with the subject at hand. Why, one might as well put a geneticist in charge of Global Warming science, or an engineer in charge of a trans-governmental body overseeing Climate science. Oh, wait……..
Isn`t Steve Jones a sex snail expert….geneticist is a bit too grand I`d have thought.
But Nick Stern…economic lecturer…HE`S the man to do Global Warming Reports!
Makes sense to me….
Or a music teacher as an economics expert….
Don’t forget Anger & Protests.
So much anger; so many protests.
Welcome back David Prieser. Good point too
. . . and how long must we wait before there’s some kind of public explanation for the collapse of this case due to the prosecution witnesses “not turning up”.
It seems we will not be told anything. It is cases like this that reveal the fatal weaknesses in the Western liberal’s attitude.
I make no assumptions but I can guess.
The West does not deserve to survive as a culture unless it can start to stand up for itself and erase the cancer of liberal podism from it’s governing classes.
Our young have been subverted .The disgusting 68er generation has done it’s worst. May be it will be left to the old with little time and nothing to lose who will stand up for our civilisation.
Well said Dave s. Liberalism is a complimentary cancer to Islamim.
Maybe he’s honing his surgical skills

omg wheres the outrage from the BBC, that tiny little girl decapitated by islamic savages. They went overboard reporting on kids getting gassed in syria, yet nothing about christian kids being slaughtered.
The beeb will be more bothered about me calling them savages “savages” rather than the barbaric crimes those savages commit
http://john-moloney.blogspot.com/#!/2013/11/tiny-minority.html.
Just thought I`d cross-pollinate here with Alex Feltons post in the previous thread…it`s that Norway connection that brought it all to mind.
On self-censorship of art in the West, in the face of Islamic interests, this is another current example:-
“Germany: Art studio bans nude sketches ‘out of respect for Muslims'”
http://www.jihadwatch.org/2013/11/germany-art-studio-bans-nude-sketches-out-of-respect-for-muslims.html
And no quote fro Gompertz, Millard, that gay bloke on Channel (Kane is it?)…and nothing from Grayson or Sue Lawley either?
Oh, so brave….forever loitering around Duchamps urinal by way of rebellion…but when Islam comes to take a leak, they offer their own mouths to piss in.
How ARE those Kabul poetry slams going Beeb?…same way as Cheries nail bars I`d guess.
Focail leat the BBC(with thanks to Ian Hills!)
As for Muslims using Britain as a base for Islamic jihad crimes in Syria, this is British ‘justice’ in action. (Can’t find INBBC report):-
“NHS doctor cleared of joining Syria jihad wants to go back to work.
“Shajul Islam was due to stand trial alongside co-accused Jubair Chowdhury and his brother Najul Islam at Kingston Crown Court but walked free today.
“The trio were accused of kidnapping and assisting the kidnap of two photojournalists John Cantlie and Dutchman Jeroen Oerlemans.
“CPS dropped case as it emerged the alleged victims could not give evidence.”
By TOM KELLY and NICK FAGGE.

Is your doctor an Islamic jihadist?
Think my locum is in a Damascus jail according to Newsnight last night.
Think he got a call out, and simply had to go.
Anyway Gavin Esler and Dr Feelgoods brother seemed a mite miffed that anyone would see him as anything other than Dr Findlay…I myself have often tried to drive to Epsom , only to find myself in a Damascus suburb.
Anyway-as Gavin and the brother of the Good Quack said…bloody William Hague..call yourself a Foreign Secretary?
Could we send 50 Beeboids to take Dr Quacks place in stir?…let`s ask Gavin shall we?
Islam is the biggest threat to world peace, and will be the cause of the next World War.
Muslims are the most loyal people in the UK according to the left. Currently there is a court case over how 2 Pakistani men decided to threaten an aircraft while in the air. Reading the bBC version all you get is:
Tayyab Subhani, 30, of Townley Street, and Mohammed Safdar, 42, of Hallam Crescent, Nelson, Lancashire, deny endangering the safety of an aircraft. The court heard neither was a “terrorist” or “extremist”.
The defendants told police the allegations were lies and members of the cabin crew had encouraged passengers to corroborate the story.
Here are two photos of the men, the first arriving at court, the latter leaving can you spot the difference.
The BBC will photoshop the poppies on for them anyway-and I think that they knew that.
Visual taqqiya.
I notice another article today on the BBC Magazine webpage.
Are there really 100,000 new Christian martyrs every year?
It starts off with a promising start:
It’s often claimed that 100,000 Christians are killed every year because of their religion. Earlier this year, the Vatican called it a credible number. But is it?
Gunmen on motorcycles kill three people when they open fire on a wedding outside a Coptic Christian church in Cairo. A twin-suicide bombing outside a church in Pakistan kills at least 75 people.
These two recent headline-grabbing attacks occurred within just a month of each other. Horrific, but by no means isolated incidents.
So how widespread is anti-Christian violence?
And that’s where the promise ends. It then goes on to show that the figures claimed are far less than that because many of the conflicts where Christians are killed have nothing to do with religion.
As we all know the BBC goes to great lengths to avoid telling the public when it does. The 2 they mention above just happen to be the few they do. You’d think that while they were on the subject they might have mentioned Nigeria, Syria, and the many others in Egypt.
So in the middle the author of this drivel, Ruth Alexander, can triumphantly point out:- This means we can say right away that the internet rumours of Muslims being behind the killing of 100,000 Christian martyrs are nonsense.
What about the thousands that they are behind? Clearly we should not concern ourselves with that from the BBC perspective.
At the end of the article we are told:-“The truth is two thirds of the 2.3 billion Christians in the world today live… in dangerous neighbourhoods. They are often poor. They often belong to ethnic, linguistic and cultural minorities. And they are often at risk.
It’s the neighbourhoods they live in that puts them at risk – nothing to do with religion – move on.
Now for real news about what’s been happening in the Christian world as a direct result of Muslim persecution here’s Raymond Ibrahim with his most recent – the August 2013 account.
How many of these stories have you found on the BBC website? Considering they have journalists in most of these countries, it’s not that they’re unaware of it – it just doesn’t fit their agenda.
Rubbishing claims of Muslim persecution against Christians is part of their agenda.
Muslim Persecution of Christians: August, 2013
Poor minorities at risk are they?
Didn`t they used to be significant majorities until Islam drove them from the land then?
Syria, Egypt, Iraq and Lebanon had loads of Christians until the last 70s…now look!
Looking forward to that “poor minority” excuse being used when gays, disabled, women and others feel the hot fetid breath of triumphalist Islam…that we Christians have not slaughtered poor marginal minorities alongside us in this country won`t be reason enough for the BBC to bother to count us either, come that day.
The BBC stiffies will be working for Al Jazeera by then anyhow.
Disgusting reporting from the BBC…is there any other kind these days?
it is not so much we as the majority of scared of islamism is it,we given the power would know how to deal with this problem that scours are nation like a virus,but that is another debate for another time, the real people who are scared of islamism are sitting up there in no10 looking how to appease this most violent strand of islam that seems to lurk around every corner in the uk,there stragedy has failed in appeasing the islamists not only in the uk but all over the world.did we appease the nazis and nazism.no we did not,its time now to stop appeasing the heirs to the nazis who are the islamists,its time now for theresa may to take a tough approach now towards the islamists and there supporters,appeasment has not worked,neville chamberland learnt that lesson in world war 2 when he tried to appease the nazis and hitler,we must not make that mistake with the islamists and there third reich supporters.
I’m not scared of Islam but I am scared (and bloody angry)of the staggering incompetence of the progressive elite in Britain and Europe to deal with it.
