The BBC can’t help itself….it just keeps on rolling with the anti-Western, anti-British narrative that serves up the endless stream of recruits to the Jihadi cause.

Jeremy Bowen was at it recently, blaming ‘duplicitous British’ actions after WWI for causing all the problems in the Middle East, and by extension the world, today…and of course the ‘catastrophic’ Iraq War gets a mention.

Humphrys blamed the intervention in Libya for Manchester, failing to mention it was a UN operation and that it carried out in order to stop a massacre [and yet the BBC goes on about Srebrenica and the non-intervention there]…and that if it hadn’t been done Libya would be far worse than it is now.

Then we have the long term BBC criticism of Prevent which we are told is failing, toxic brand as it stigmatises Muslims and alienates them.  Never mind that narrative is driven by Muslim extremists who may have an interest in undermining a counter-radicalisation and terrorism programme.

Emma Barnett had on Labour’s Jackie Smith who was also of the opinion that Prevent was failing and that it was the government’s fault…she also said that Manchester was May’s fault as 20,000 police have been lost under the Tories and thus we don’t have the manpower to tackle the threat….blood on her hands!  Kind of forgetting that Labour failed to stop 7/7 when they had more police officers…and fails to recognise that the government has ploughed billions into more intelligence and security staff and resources.  Barnett went along with this ‘analysis’ and then added her own…apparently Brexit also caused Manchester….May has been so distracted by Brexit that she took her eye off the ball…and bang!!!!  Blood on her hands.  Perhaps she suggested, Amber Rudd should resign.

Did seem like a Labour-fest today…Burnham, Blunkett and Smith all getting plenty of airtime and using it to campaign in this campaign down-time…so much for respect.

Who needs all those Islamic State social media sites pumping out Jihadi propaganda when you’ve got the BBC doing it for you?

If arrests are being made every day, if plots, radicalisation and attempts to head off to Syria are prevented every day, if bombs went off during Labour’s time in office…how is it ‘Prevent’ has failed and recent police cuts are to blame for the Manchester bomb?  How can a man who fought Gaddafi, his family given sanctuary in Britain, a Britain that helped get rid of Gaddafi, turn on Britain because, he says, it doesn’t help Muslims?

I have said before that 5 Live’s Emma Barnett could provide this site with enough material on her own to keep it going for years without any other references to BBC bias elsewhere.  Is it bias though or just ignorance combined with a overhelming sense of self-confidence and belief in her own opinion?…a dangerous mixture.  Rather than be allowed to cover serious news issues such as terrorism perhaps she should stick to the type of thing she has done recently such as a piece on a ‘Vagina Museum’…yep…you read that right.  Then again she herself could be an exhibit…after all a talking vagina must be quite a rarity.  I’d pay to see it.

On Wednesday she went all out for an attack on the Prevent programme which apparently is failing and toxic to all decent Muslims.  Barnett wanted to know how we deal with terrorism, how we, er, prevent it and radicalisation.

Of course knowing what the problem is in the first place would help.  Barnett and Co know what that is.

It’s definitely not anything religious…it is instead a Society problem…Muslims have no hope, no future, discriminated against and marginalised….Abedi was a ‘a typical disaffected youth who was very unhappy’.  It is not one community’s fault or responsibility..it’s a British problem.  There is no one thing that makes someone a [er…Muslim] terrorist…there are many ‘pull factors’ such as a lust for adventure and a solution for your personal problems.

The solution is not Prevent, which has failed…we must engage the community, the messenger must be accepted and credible in the community…the youth must be empowered to…er…challenge authority…they must not feel excluded.

We need a better understanding of their motivation.

As you can see a complete waste of time and a refusal to discuss the real problem, the real motivation behind the radicalisation, the one ‘pull factor’ that excites and unites these radicals and terrorists….Islam.  They all identify as ‘Muslim’ and Abedi came from a religious family that was already itself radicalised, and he himself became more religious and came to believe Muslims were under attack by the West and he wanted revenge.  Right there you have the motivation and the mindset that makes a person vulnerable to radicalisation….Islam commands Muslims to defend other Muslims…therefore if they are told Muslims are under attack many will answer the call to arms…Jihad.  And who has been spreading the narrative that Muslims are under attack?  Muslim radicals of course but also the likes of the BBC which has fed Muslims the lie that ever since the Crusades Muslims have been the victims of Christian and Western violence and oppression….all their problems flow out of the West.

The BBC must take the blame for much of the radicalisation of so many muslims, especially British ones.

Thursday we had a different approach.  Perhaps the BBC had a few calls complaining about the one-sided, anti-Prevent narrative being spun by the BBC the day before [a narrative the BBC has kept up for a long time now].  This time we had on some supporters of Prevent, one the brother-in-law of 7/7 bomber Muhammed Sidiq Khan, Ahmed Patel [see above video], and counter radicalisation worker, Sara Khan.  Naturally they didn’t get as sympathetic and uncritical a platform as those who branded Prevent ‘Toxic’ did.

Patel gave an excoriating run down of what is both the extremist and the BBC’s narrative about Muslim victimhood, foreign policy and the Prevent programme.  He supported prevent and thought it was working and that he was fed up with the ‘anti-Prevent brigade’, by which he meant the Muslim extremist groups, such as Cage, who were driving the false and dangerous narrative that Prevent was toxic, was targeting Muslims and set Muslims against each other as they were supposed to spy on each other.  Interestingly he said that the ‘backlash’ against Muslims was legitimate…if there is a trend of attacks by Muslims on non-Muslims he suggested you could not blame British people for reacting against Muslims when they see these attacks on themselves. [Of course there has hardly been any serious anti-Muslim ‘backlash’…British people have been remarkably tolerant and peaceful under the most outrageous provocation]

He went on to say Muslims have a victim mentality and have bought into the false narrative about being under attack, a war on Islam and attacks on ‘Muslim lands’.  Such narratives are creating a them and us mentality that shuts communities off from each other.

He also said that ‘islamophobia’ was not a word he liked…it was used to shut down debate and silence critics of Islamic terror.

Sara Khan then came on [11:39:40] and told of the death threats and threats of rape she receives from Muslims as she works on Prevent…..they want to shut down debate and shut down Prevent.  Barnett interrupted to say that critics she had on her programme were not extremists [they were] and that Prevent isolates Muslims and is toxic….something has gone wrong she tells us.

Khan slapped her down saying that was lazy rhetoric and made a good case for Prevent and its success.

Barnett then dragged in another one of her ‘not radical’ anti-Prevent voices [11:50]…a Muslim academic specialising in terrorism and all that….Even Barnett came to realise as he spoke that he was ‘radical’ and yet she still said his narrative about British foreign policy was ‘fair enough’.

End of the day, despite all that, Barnett still came out with the claims that Prevent was failing, that something was wrong and that it alienated Muslims.  Perhaps she should take some time out and listen to her own show and learn.

The Wall Street Journal tells us that Salman Abedi thought Muslims in Britain were ill-treated and that he became increasingly religious…

Abedi’s sister, Jomana Abedi, said her brother was kind and loving and
that she was surprised by what he did this week. She said she thought he
was driven by what he saw as injustices.

“I think he saw children—Muslim children—dying everywhere, and wanted
revenge. He saw the explosives America drops on children in Syria, and
he wanted revenge,” she said. “Whether he got that is between him and God.”

In May 2016, an 18-year-old friend of Salman Abedi’s, Abdul Wahab
Hafidah, a Briton of Libyan descent, died after being run down by a car
and then stabbed in Manchester. Six men and a 15-year-old boy are on
trial in a Manchester court this month charged with murder in connection
with the killing, which prosecutors have argued was gang-related. The
defendants deny wrongdoing.

Abedi viewed the attack as a hate crime, the family friend said, and
grew increasingly angry about what he considered ill-treatment of
Muslims in Britain. “I remember Salman at his funeral vowing revenge,”
the Abedi family friend said.

Abedi became increasingly religious, family members said, and interested
in extremist groups. A cousin, who declined to be named, said Abedi’s
parents worried he was headed toward violence.

Wonder where he got the idea that Muslims were ill-treated in Britain, one of the most Muslim friendly countries in the world apparently…and that is in comparison to ‘Muslim’ countries.

Contrast that with the BBC’s effort which misses out a couple of the crucial elements…his increasing devoutness and his antipathy towards Britain…..instead the BBC paints a picture of a concerned father trying to take his son away from bad influences…not Muslim extremists but gangs….

The BBC has been told by a Muslim community worker that members of the public called the police anti-terrorism hotline about Abedi’s extreme and violent views several years ago.

We don’t know how the police responded to these reported hotline calls – but we have also learnt that earlier this year, Abedi’s behaviour again raised concerns.

According to our sources, he told local people about the value of dying for a cause.

He also made hardline statements about suicide bombings and the conflict in Libya.

An Abedi family friend in Tripoli has told the BBC that Ramadan took his son out of the city fearing the “influence of gangsters and criminals.” Mr Abedi said he feared his son was becoming increasingly drawn into drugs and criminality after the death of one of his friends in nearby Moss Side.

The New York Times was one of the rags that launched a highly critical attack on Trump claiming [probably falsely]  that he had disclosed top secret intelligence from another country without permission thus putting operations at risk as well as further co-operation.

The NYT then publishes photos of the Manchester bombing without permission which have been leaked to it…and ...the BBC reports on the NYT’s little faux pas…

The UK government and police have reacted with anger after a US newspaper published photos apparently showing the scene of the Manchester bomb attack.

Counter terror police chiefs said the leak undermined their investigation and victims’ and witnesses’ confidence.

A Whitehall source added: “We are furious. This is completely unacceptable.”

Couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch of smug, lying Liberals.

A couple of things of note in regard to Trump and Russia…as yet absolutely no proof of anything…

And from Breitbart:

Ex-CIA Director John Brennan Refuses To Say Whether Russia Holds Damaging Info On Hillary Clinton

In testimony before the House Intelligence Committee, former CIA Director John Brennan refused to answer a question in an unclassified setting about whether the Russians possess damaging information on Hillary Clinton that was not revealed during the 2016 presidential campaign.

Brennan further testified that, in his assessment, the Russians favored Donald Trump over Clinton largely because they despised Clinton and would generally prefer dealing with a businessman.

This is a far cry from the unsubstantiated conspiracy theory that the Russians possessed damaging information on Trump. Brennan did not even imply that this was the case. Indeed, the discussion about the Russians potentially holding negative information on a politician centered around Clinton.

Brennan’s assessment of Russia’s thinking is shared by Comey, who earlier this month confirmed in testimony that the basis for the intelligence community’s assessment that Putin allegedly wanted Trump in office was not because the billionaire was, as Sen. Al Franken claimed during that hearing without citing any evidence, “ensnared in” Russia’s “web of patronage.”

Instead, Comey provided two primary reasons for Russia allegedly favoring Trump over Clinton during the 2016 presidential race.

One reason, according to Comey, was that Putin “hated” Clinton and would have favored any Republican opponent. The second reason, Comey explained, was that Putin made an assessment that it would be easier to make a deal with a businessman than someone from the political class.

And remember…Comey said Trump himself was not under investigation…..probably because they think the russians do not have compromising information on Trump…and thus the ‘dodgy dossier’ is just that…dodgy….a creative pile of horse crap invented by a British ex-MI6 agent in an attempt to influence the election in favour of Clinton…but no one would say anything about that foreign interference in American Democracy…and certainy not the BBC.

Burnham was on the Today show this morning, admirably he refused to be drawn into making a political statement despite Mishal Husain trying to coerce him to do so.   However that’s where the good news ended as he went into a little rant about the bomber not being Muslim and that he didn’t represent the Muslim community.  Trouble is the bomber was a Muslim and his family was strongly religious…the bomber as a youth learnt the Koran by heart.  His family were also it seems very much into Jihad.  And we know that ISIS is nothing if not ‘Islamic’, indeed it is history brought to life as it pretty much replicates Muhammed’s own blitz across the Middle East…not to mention some of his less savoury dealings with those who opposed him.  As for representing the Muslim community?….maybe they do not like his methods but they certainly back what are his likely politics…let me guess…problems with British foreign policy [despite removing from power Gaddafi who drove his family from Libya], problems with Western culture, rampant Islamophobia and Israel…all the usual narratives that are the staple fare of the Muslim ‘dinner table’, Muslim ‘social media’, and peddled by the BBC as well.

Burnham has a long history himself, a history of being  a useful idiot for Muslim extremists as he worked to close down the Prevent anti-radicalisation programme and suggested Muslims could not trust the police….so it comes as a surprise to see him now telling us how wonderful the police are in response to the Manchester bomb…

I want to thank the hundreds of police, fire and ambulance staff who worked throughout the night in the most difficult circumstances imaginable.

This was Burnham not so long ago telling us Prevent targets Muslims, it encourages Islamophobia and drives Muslims into the hands of the extremists…

“If governments are doing things to almost legitimise things in some way by saying this community does need to be treated differently, it does need to be watched at a local level, because there’s danger here in terms of behaviour, that is highly problematic.”

Has he changed his mind?  I wonder if he thinks we should be watching anyone in particular now as so many young people lie dead because of fools like him?

Something of an irony, a sick one perhaps, that he expresses so much sorrow at the bomb when he has done so much to hinder the security services…

After our darkest of nights, Manchester is today waking up to the most difficult of dawns. It’s hard to believe what has happened here in the last few hours and to put into words the shock, anger and hurt that we feel today.

These were children, young people and their families that those responsible chose to terrorise and kill.  This was an evil act. Our first thoughts are with the families of those killed and injured. And we will do whatever we can to support them.

We are grieving today, but we are strong.

Burnham was quite happy to line up with Muslim radical group MEND…

A senior Labour MP vying to be the first elected mayor of Greater Manchester has shared a platform with a Muslim pressure group accused of being led by “extremists”, after implying Muslims should not work with police.

Andy Burnham, a former cabinet minister, appeared at a mayoral hustings organised by the “anti-Islamophobia” group Muslim Engagement and Development (MEND) on Saturday, The Times reports.

MEND regularly works with members of CAGE, which has supported terrorists and called Jihadi John a “beautiful” man. The group is led by Azad Ali, an Islamist who lost a libel battle with a newspaper that said he was “a hardline Islamic extremist who supports the killing of British and American soldiers in Iraq by fellow Muslims as justified”.

MEND director Mr. Ali has also written on his blog of his “love” for Anwar al-Awlaki, the al-Qaeda cleric closely linked to terrorist plots including the September 11 attacks, and described al-Qaeda as a “myth”.

Harry’s Place looks at his stance on Prevent…

Andy Burnham has come out with some pretty hysterical claims about Prevent, the Government’s counter-terror strategy. At a time when it has emerged that MI6 will be recruiting around 1000 new spies in light of the grave “lifetime threat” ISIS poses to our national security, this threat is obvious to most of us, but not to our shadow Home Secretary of all people.

In June this year, he called for Prevent to be scrapped and even compared the strategy – a strategy operating in the non-criminal space and which offers support to those most vulnerable to radicalisation – to “today’s equivalent of internment in Northern Ireland.”

The ridiculous and frenzied claims don’t end there. Burnham, giving Islamist anti-Prevent activists the best gift one could give, has even claimed that it is Prevent which “risks creating the very conditions for it (extremism) to flourish.” Let’s take a moment to think about that. A strategy which has successfully stopped people from travelling to Syria, including children, which has generated ISIL counter-narrative videos viewed millions of times, is what, Burnham is suggesting, is causing extremism to flourish in the UK. It’s not ISIS propaganda, or British pro-ISIS fanboys tweeting day in day out or even the plethora of extremist preachers operating on our campuses and communities as Harry’s Place has long evidenced that is causing extremism according to Burnham. No it is Prevent.

Conflating anti-Muslim hate crime with a strategy which seeks to counter radicalisation, Burnham now also claims Prevent “risks legitimising or inspiring Islamophobic hate crime” as opposed to the acts of Islamist terrorists which Prevent seeks to deter.

Good though to see him grandstanding and telling us how terrible this bombing and mass murder is…of course he is in good company in a BBC studio, the BBC which has also done so much to promote the idea that Prevent is ‘toxic’ and targeting Muslims…as if that were somehow wrong…‘not all Muslims are terrorists but’...Mishal Husain didn’t think it necessary to challenge him on his claims.

Which groups were the original driving force behind the campaign to attack Prevent?  It was Muslim extremist groups like Cage who for very obvious reasons wanted to shut down a programme that was designed to stop radicalisation and terrorism.  Why did the BBC think for one moment that promoting that narrative would be a good idea?  It is also notable that Baroness Warsi, the one who wanted to disarm Israel and arm the terrrorists of Hamas, was a very vocal opponent of Prevent…why would that be?

Useful idiots promoting Muslim extremist’s propaganda…one the Mayor of Greater Manchester, the other one of the most influential and powerful media organisations in the world.  No wonder people vote for the  likes of Trump.

True to form, the BBC Today programme was busy this morning making it clear that the real danger from the Jihad bombing of Manchester arena is  — yes, Islamophobia. They had an interview with a Muslim teacher from a girl’s school (sic) who warned us that one of her pupils (in Islamic veil) had been…shouted at! Oh no. Never mind 22 dead kids and their parents – no, the REAL story here is how Muslims are victims. The BBC makes me nauseous.

Mid week and a new Open Thread. Detail their bias here.

It didn’t take long for the BBC to marshal the troops gathering together a veritable army of voices ready to spin us the usual platitudes and lies. The Today show rolled ’em out one after the other.

There was Richard Barrett, ex-MI6, who told us we need to understand and engage with the Muslim community and understand what the intention was behind the attack….really?  After all this time we’re still having to ask that? C4 just told us…ISIS is Islamic and want to Islamise the world.  Not hard is it?   He went on to say the answer was to let the Muslim community inform us on how to deal with the threat…yep, that’ll work.  Just who does he think in the Muslim community will be the credible voices we should listen to?  Mo Ansar, Cage, MPACUK, anti-Semitic Labour MP’s, or maybe the Muslim Council of Britain which, as the BBC tells us, is the most representative body of Muslims in the UK?…and yet it is an extremist organisation which in 2007 drew up what is seen as a blue print for the Trojan Horse plot and the man who drew that up, MCB official, Tahir Alam, was central to the actual plot…never mind numerous other concerns about the MCB such as how they portray Ahmadis.

The BBC insisted that the Trojan Horse plot was fake, a hoax….Phil Mackie declared it was the result of racism, Islamophobia and paranoia..

Trouble is it was real, all too real….and perhaps one fact, that Muslim pupils were being taught that non-Muslim white women were ‘prostitutes’, might help inform us as to why a concert full of what were mostly girls is deemed to be a suitable target for fundamentalists.

Today the MCB laughably suggest Muslims alone have been battling extremism…and that Islam has nothing to do with any of this…We Muslims can’t combat the poison of terrorism alone.

The BBC knows Barrett is a ‘reliable’ voice…but just why do the Intelligence Services spin us this lie about there being no connection between Islam and extremism?

The Telegraph tells us of the truth…

People in MI5 tell me that denying the connection between Islamism and terrorism derives from the belief that if you accept it, there’s no hope for a multicultural society in Britain: we would just have to recognise that part of the population is permanently liable to become terrorists.

We know the Establishment is lying to us about Islam, that ‘religion of peace’…nice to have it confirmed.

After Barrett we had Tessa Jowell and Nick Robinson doing a double act attacking social media for giving a platform to people who spread hate and division, people who have already decided who is to blame and know what should be done…er…the BBC has already admitted it was ‘Muslim’ and decided we should let Muslims get on with policing themselves….hmmm…perhaps we should really be looking at that other ‘social media’…the mosques, madrassas, faith schools and the ‘dinner table’ test where anger about British foreign policy, Israel and Western decadent culture is acceptable.

Then we were told that the real problem is the Far Right and the mythical ‘backlash’….apparently Le Pen welcomed such attacks and wanted to benefit from them…the Far-Right must be dealt with.  Perhaps we shouldn’t focus though on the identity of the attacker.   Hmmm….maybe, actually, we should be angry, enraged, furious, and not just with the bomber and those who peddle his ideology….maybe we should say we’ve had enough, we’re sick of this, we’re sick of being blamed, we’re sick of being blackmailed…sick of being bombed and told it’s our own fault…by the Muslim community and the BBC….

Brendan O’Neil in Spiked……

After Manchester: it’s time for anger

After the terror, the platitudes. And the hashtags. And the candlelit vigils. And they always have the same message: ‘Be unified. Feel love. Don’t give in to hate.’ The banalities roll off the national tongue. Vapidity abounds. A shallow fetishisation of ‘togetherness’ takes the place of any articulation of what we should be together for – and against. And so it has been after the barbarism in Manchester. In response to the deaths of more than 20 people at an Ariana Grande gig, in response to the massacre of children enjoying pop music, people effectively say: ‘All you need is love.’

As part of the post-terror narrative, our emotions are closely policed. Some emotions are celebrated, others demonised. Empathy – good. Grief – good. Sharing your sadness online – great. But hatred? Anger? Fury? These are bad. They are inferior forms of feeling, apparently, and must be discouraged. Because if we green-light anger about terrorism, then people will launch pogroms against Muslims, they say, or even attack Sikhs or the local Hindu-owned cornershop, because that’s how stupid and hateful we apparently are. But there is a strong justification for hate right now. Certainly for anger. For rage, in fact. Twenty-two of our fellow citizens were killed at a pop concert. I hate that, I hate the person who did it, I hate those who will apologise for it, and I hate the ideology that underpins such barbarism. I want to destroy that ideology.

Where’s the rage? If the massacre of children and their parents on a fun night out doesn’t make you feel rage, nothing will. The terrorist has defeated you. You are dead already.

Certainly no rage on the BBC….just attempts to cover the tracks and downplay the reality behind this terrorist attack.  Nothing to see, move along, we will survive.  So brave.

Then we had a Bishop on who blessed us with his insights…we must not be divided by this, we must not lose trust in each other, we must make sure there is no blame by association, no blame beyond the killers….any critic of Muslims is a racist troll who needs to be isolated along with their message of hate…oh…and love wins.

Then we had the politicians wth the same messages….we must not let them change our way of life.  May told us that ‘our country, our way of life, our values will always prevail’.  And yet that’s nonsense.  The real threat is not the violent Jihad but the cultural one that slowly forces Society to Islamise in order to accomodate and appease Muslims…our culture, our society, our values are being gradually erased and replaced….Islamised.

We keep hearing that the intent of the terrorists is to sow fear and division…well that may be a welcome side-effect for them but the real intent is to Islamise Europe…they know that the effect of an attack is to send politicians and the Media into angst driven narratives about Muslims, asking what could have driven them to do such things….‘One lesson well understood in both Stalin’s Russia and Nazi Germany was that propaganda is most effective when it is backed by terror’.    The answer?…discrimination, disaffection, marginalisation and Islamophobia…the solution…help Muslims integrate, feel more at home, feel more welcome.  How to do this?  By ‘Islamising’ society…making everything that ‘offends’ Muslims disappear, making society fit into Muslim demands and values rather than tell them that if you want to live here you change.

The MCB provides the perfect illustration of this with their 2007 Trojan horse ‘blueprint’ as it demands schools adapt to suit Islam….making Britons ‘virtual Muslims’…

The MCB’s contribution in publishing its report, Towards Greater Understanding, is wholly consistent with the government’s “Every Child Matters” strategy, and complementary to it. The result of meeting Muslim needs in mainstream schools is that Islam and Muslims become a normal part of British life and that we become fully integrated in this way.

Or as another Muslim group said…basically surrender or maybe angry Muslims will be radicalised and…..

“If you give us religious rights we will be in a better position to convince young people that they are being treated equally along with other citizens.”

Or how about changing our foreign policy to suit the bombers…who aren’t Muslims of course but somehow represent Muslim opinion…..

The group of prominent Muslims who penned an open letter suggesting Muslim youths are alienated by Britain’s foreign policy, so it should be changed.

Why exactly? To placate a handful of home-grown terrorists and terrorist sympathisers?

In other words the rest of us can only be safe if THEY get a foreign policy that suits them. The Mafia would call this extortion. Give us what we want and we’ll do our best to stop the baddies blowing you up.

The loud cries about the danger of such attacks being used to divide us are hopelessly off the mark.  The attacks don’t divide us, the attacks are a result of the divisions that already exist, divisions created by an ideology that puts a vast, unbridgeable gap between Muslims and non-Muslims…Trevor Phillips has already spelt that out..the Muslim ghettoes, the parallel societies growing bigger and further apart, the closed societies breeding fundamentalism which has been growing since the 1980’s.

Britain is well on its way to Talibanisation in many areas...as said, the violence is not the real problem..the intent behind that violence is an intent shared by the ‘non-violent’ as well…. Islamisation….

The rapid spread of rigid, diehard Islam [In the UK] is deeply worrying. Yet those in power, focused on terrorist cells, seem oblivious to this other peril…. our politicians and Muslim ‘leaders’  allow their twisted ideology to spread across Britain.

Make no mistake, Taliban devotees are in our schools, playgrounds, homes, mosques, political parties, public service, private firms and universities.

And if we are to have any hope of combating them, we need to stop this attitude of appeasement and understand why so many Muslims are attracted to the most punishing forms of belief, suppressing women and children.

If this was happening in any other nation, we would be condemning it loudly.

Yet here, curtailed and deficient education endured by many Muslim children is seen as a religious entitlement, which, if opposed, apparently confirms Islamophobia.

Why are we fighting the Taliban in Afghanistan and indulging Taliban values here?

Even if it offends liberal principles, the powerful must find a way of stopping Islamicists from promulgating their distorted creed.

The Mirror way back in 2006 understood the problem and understood that ‘Community leaders’ were not the answer…indeed they were part of the problem…

WE MUST NOT GIVE IN TO MUSLIM BLACKMAIL

AS the country vexes itself over how to deal with the radicalisation of British-born Muslim youths, it’s revealing to know some of their leaders believe they have the answer.

The introduction of Sharia Law in Britain along with important religious days in the Muslim calendar becoming public holidays for followers of the faith should do the trick, or so claims the secretary general of the Union of Muslim Organisations in the UK and Ireland.

As Dr Syed Aziz Pasha says: “If you give us religious rights we will be in a better position to convince young people that they are being treated equally along with other citizens.”

This sounds perilously close to blackmail.

In the end if politicians and the media keep lying to people the people will take things into their own hands.

‘Backlash’ might not be a word that fully describes what might happen as the great experiment finally fails.

“Violence can only be concealed by a Lie, & the Lie can only be maintained by Violence.“

It can’t end well.

A probable terrorist attack in Manchester…if it turns out to be Islamic terrorism who ‘enabled’ them?

Nicky Campbell & Co are at the scene and sounding very concerned, talking to relatives and locals, giving out phone numbers…how long before that turns to condemnation…of the security services, of British foreign policy…the bomber a victim of racism, marginalisation and Islamophobia?  Remember these guys are the new Churchills, Mandelas and Ghandis  (© Mark Easton).

The BBC has fed into the terrorist’s narrative of Islam and Muslims under attack by the West.

Only a couple of days ago Jeremy Bowen was telling us that the ‘duplicitous British’ are to blame for everything that is going on in the Middle East today….words have consequences…perhaps the government should start looking at the words the BBC pumps out excusing and cheerleading for terrorists.

Oh yes…vote Corbyn…who loves the IRA, Hamas, Hezbollah and wants to negotiate with ISIS.   And of course would not shoot a suicide bomber.
