The BBC, as usual, is more concerned about ‘worried Muslims’ living in fear of a supposed massive and violent backlash each time members of their religion slaughter innocent Kafirs in the name of that religion.

The BBC is entirely unconcerned that the entire non-Muslim population lives in fear, not of mostly cat calls or internet abuse, but of being bombed, machine gunned or beheaded….they are being terrorised on a huge scale.

The BBC has other priorities and narratives…..

The fear of being Muslim in North America

After terror attacks in Paris and California, Muslims in North America are facing a sometimes violent backlash.

Omar Suleiman, a resident scholar at the Valley Ranch Islamic Center in Irving, Texas, was out of the country when he got word from his wife that their home address had just been published along with dozens of others by an anti-Islamic organisation.

The group, which had just held an armed protest outside the Islamic Center of Irving, got Suleiman’s address because he registered to speak at a city council meeting back in March. He was asking the city council not to support a state bill that many in the Muslim community viewed as anti-Islamic.

Now, the address of the home he shares with his wife and two young children was all over the internet. Suleiman cut the trip short and flew back. Even though the list was eventually removed from the web, Suleiman and his wife were terrified.

Odd how the BBC has missed this tale of people under threat having their addresses published on line with an explicit threat to behead them….

Ohio Hospital Worker Charged For Calling to Behead US Soldiers

A hospital worker in Ohio has been charged with calling for US soldiers to be beheaded in their homes on social media.

He has been charged with three counts of solicitation of a crime of violence and threatening military personnel.

He was arrested for supporting ISIS on November 12.

Prosecutors alleged in a federal indictment published on Tuesday that 25 year-old Terrence J. McNeil was supportive of the Islamic State on social media and had posted the names and addresses of 100 serving US military personnel on his Tumblr account.

The Mail tells us…

Assistant U.S. Attorney General John Carlin said McNeil ‘solicited the murder of members of our military by disseminating violent rhetoric, circulating detailed U.S. military personnel information, and explicitly calling for the killing of American service members in their homes and communities.’

The posting urged ‘Brothers in America’ to ‘kill them in their own lands, behead them in their own homes, stab them to death as they walk their streets thinking that they are safe,’ according to the indictment.

Yep…looking, looking…but no, can’t find any reference on the BBC to this terrorism.

In a simialr vein of wilful ignorance has the BBC made any attempt to report the goings on at Goldsmith’s college where Muslim students have been intimidating and abusing the likes of Maryam Namazie [Something the BBC itself is not averse to doing] or when the ‘diversity officer’ tweeted ‘#killallwhitemen’?

No of course not.

White christian male, Tyson Fury, gets the lynch mob treatment but the BBC ignores this from a Muslim student leader...

A university’s Islamic society president has resigned after homophobic messages were found on his Twitter account following a row over a human rights activist’s speech.

Muhammed Patel left the society at Goldsmiths, University of London after it was revealed tweets such as ‘homosexuality is a disease of the heart and the mind’ had been found on his account.

Other homophobic tweets attributed to the @mopey96 account, which has now been deleted, are said to have referred to ‘fag lovers’ on his Twitter timeline and ‘stupid’ gay pride marches.

The survival of Kiribati depends on the next few hours.  Slavery, apartheid, now let’s do something about climate change.

 

The seas are rising, the rich West is to blame…they must pay trillions to the impoverished island nations, Africa and anyone else who can make enough noise shroud waving to claim a cut of the loot.

Sarah Montague was interviewing (08:38) Anote Tong, president of Kiribati, this morning.  I say interview but in fact it was more a charity appeal with little, no, no ‘interview’…oh, she did ask if he felt rage at the wealthy, industrial nations who were to blame for his islands’ plight…because as we know, the BBC tells us, they are sinking fast…or are they?

From National Geographic:

Will Pacific Island Nations Disappear as Seas Rise? Maybe Not

How real is the threat? Are island nations like Tuvalu, where most of the land is barely above sea level, destined to sink beneath the waves, like modern-day Atlantises?

Not necessarily, according to a growing body of evidence amassed by New Zealand coastal geomorphologist Paul Kench, of the University of Auckland’s School of Environment, and colleagues in Australia and Fiji, who have been studying how reef islands in the Pacific and Indian Oceans respond to rising sea levels.

They found that reef islands change shape and move around in response to shifting sediments, and that many of them are growing in size, not shrinking, as sea level inches upward. The implication is that many islands—especially less developed ones with few permanent structures—may cope with rising seas well into the next century.

 

So far, most atolls winning the sea level rise battle

An increasing number of atoll studies are not supporting claims of Pacific island leaders that “islands are sinking.” Scientific studies published this year show, for example, that land area in Tuvalu’s capital atoll of Funafuti grew seven percent over the past century despite significant sea level rise. Another study reported that 23 of 27 atoll islands across Kiribati, Tuvalu and the Federated States of Micronesia either increased in area or remained stable over recent decades.

Speaking about Kiribati, Canadian climatologist Simon Donner commented in the Scientific American: ‘Right now it is clear that no one needs to immediately wall in the islands or evacuate all the inhabitants. What the people of Kiribati and other low-lying countries need instead are well-thought-out, customized adaption plans and consistent international aid — not a breathless rush for a quick fix that makes the rest of the world feel good but obliges the island residents to play the part of helpless victim.’

Nice to have at least a semblance of moderation when talking about this subject rather than the highly politicised narrative that we get from the BBC.

Oh look…from the BBC in 2010…how soon they forget…

Low-lying Pacific islands ‘growing not sinking’

A new geological study has shown that many low-lying Pacific islands are growing, not sinking.

The islands of Tuvalu, Kiribati and the Federated States of Micronesia are among those which have grown, because of coral debris and sediment.

One of the authors of the study, featured in the magazine the New Scientist, predicts that the islands will still be there in 100 years’ time.

this study of 27 islands over the last 60 years suggests that most have remained stable, while some have actually grown.

Using historical photographs and satellite imaging, the geologists found that 80% of the islands had either remained the same or got larger – in some cases, dramatically so.

They say it is due to the build-up of coral debris and sediment, and to land reclamation.

Associate Professor Paul Kench of Auckland University, who took part in the study, published in the journal Global and Planetary Change, says the islands are not in immediate danger of extinction.

“That rather gloomy prognosis for these nations is incorrect,” he said.

“We have now got the evidence to suggest that the physical foundation of these countries will still be there in 100 years, so they perhaps do not need to flee their country.”

Ah but hang on….

But although these islands might not be submerged under the waves in the short-term, it does not mean they will be inhabitable in the long-term, and the scientists believe further rises in sea levels pose a significant danger to the livelihoods of people living in Tuvalu, Kiribati and the Federated States of Micronesia.

One scientist in Kiribati said that people should not be lulled into thinking that inundation and coastal erosion were not a major threat.

Incredible from a supposed news organisation that there is absolutely no attempt to investigate the serious issues raised by Trump, instead they fill the airwaves with posturing politicians, community leaders and actors competing loudly to see who can condemn Trump or Fury in the most ‘sincere’ and eye-catching way possible.  This isn’t news it’s a public lynching by the BBC et al.

You’ve gotta laugh…Muhammed Ali as the voice of morality and reason when it comes to race and religion….

Boxing legend Muhammad Ali criticises Donald Trump

Boxing legend Muhammad Ali has criticised US Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump’s proposal to ban Muslims from entering America.

Without naming Mr Trump, Mr Ali said that Muslims “have to stand up to those who use Islam to advance their own personal agenda”.

The three-time world heavyweight champion, 73, is a cultural icon and one of the world’s most famous Muslims.

“have to stand up to those who use Islam to advance their own personal agenda”?   Does he mean like one Muhammed Ali who prayed to Allah to help him win fights?  And don’t forget that Ali was fighting for Allah….

How soon we forget……wonder what Fury thinks of the sheer hypocrisy surrounding his own comments……

Ali stated, “my enemy is the white people, not the Vietcong”^.  In relation to integration, he said: “We who follow the teachings of Elijah Muhammad don’t want to be forced to integrate. Integration is wrong. We don’t want to live with the white man; that’s all.” And in relation to inter-racial marriage: “No intelligent black man or black woman in his or her right black mind wants white boys and white girls coming to their homes to marry their black sons and daughters.”  Indeed, Ali’s religious beliefs at the time included the notion that the white man was “the devil” and that white people were not “righteous”.

Of course the BBC would probably endorse his view that white people are the enemy.

Is Trump right about importing Islam to the US?………Is there a Muslim agenda?……..

Islam in the US is a numbers game….the more Muslims the more the US mindset will change to favour Islam…so says Tariq Ramadan….

‘What is important in our number, our number as Muslims, is not that we are converting people. It’s by having an important number… the more committed Muslims we have, the more witnesses we have and the more we change mindset around us.’

and to infiltrate society to gain the upper hand…

What I said is not to infiltrate, it’s just to be a journalist. Because the journalist, when you come with your background, of course you should be objective or try to be the most objective but you are coming with a background, and you come with another vision… We have to push our daughters and our sons not only to be medical doctors, not only to be computer scientists but journalists to deal with this, to deal with academia because within academia we have all this business: to shape the perceptions, to help the people…

“I am sorry to see that too many Muslims now, they want a peaceful life, [they want] to be acknowledged, to be accepted but they are not ready for the struggle and the struggle is…We are not here to be accepted. We are here to change the society.”

Ramadan suggested taking advantage of the current Canadian legal framework (“one of the most open in the world”) in order to discretely implement sharia principles one at a time. This is the approach that led Islamists to press for the establishment of reasonable accommodations in the following years.

Tariq Ramadan openly calls for Muslim colonization of the U.S.  

‘We should all be careful not to be colonized by something which is coming from this consumerist society…

It should be us, with our understanding of Islam, our principles, colonizing positively the United States of America.

We are learning how to be a Muslim. It’s difficult, it’s a challenge, it’s a jihad…

On the long run, we also have to think about our contribution. We should be a gift to the United States of America. We should be a gift to the West.

We don’t want the West to be destructed. What we want is the West to be reformed.‘

The Mail has confirmed Trump’s assertion about the police….’serving police officers today backed Mr Trump’s claim that some Muslim communities in the UK are no-go areas because of extremism.’

A Lancashire Police officer told MailOnline: ‘There are Muslim areas of Preston that, if we wish to patrol, we have to contact local Muslim community leaders to get their permission’. 

Why has the BBC not been investigating the claim, it’s not as if the claim in its own right is not worth checking out never mind who said it.  Police no-go zones….not a good thing.

And to continue today’s theme of the moral hypocrisy of the grandstanding Trump bashers here’s Boris today…..

Mr Johnson, the Mayor of London last night said Mr Trump was speaking ‘utter nonsense’ and openly mocked the American, adding: ‘The only reason I wouldn’t go to some parts of New York is the real risk of meeting Donald Trump.’

Tonight he went further, telling ITV News: 

‘I think Donald Trump is clearly out of his mind if he thinks that’s a sensible way to proceed. You can’t ban people going to the US in that way, or indeed to any country.

‘What he’s doing is playing the game of the terrorists and those who seek to divide us. That is exactly the kind of reaction they hope to produce.

‘When Donald Trump says there are parts of London that are no-go areas, I think he is betraying a quite stupefying ignorance that makes him frankly unfit to hold the office of the president of the United States.’

Hmmmm…is that the same Boris who said this in a moment of lucid honesty?……

Islam is the problem.

To any non-Muslim reader of the Koran, Islamophobia – fear of Islam – seems a natural reaction, and, indeed, exactly what that text is intended to provoke. Judged purely on its scripture – to say nothing of what is preached in the mosques – it is the most viciously sectarian of all religions in its heartlessness towards unbelievers. As the killer of Theo Van Gogh told his victim’s mother this week in a Dutch courtroom, he could not care for her, could not sympathise, because she was not a Muslim.

The trouble with this disgusting arrogance and condescension is that it is widely supported in Koranic texts, and we look in vain for the enlightened Islamic teachers and preachers who will begin the process of reform. What is going on in these mosques and madrasas? When is someone going to get 18th century on Islam’s medieval ass?

The same Boris who said this?…

This is a turning point: we have to fly the flag for Britishness again

Of all the shattering revelations of the past few days, the worst has been that these suicide bombers were British.

We seem to have pulled off the rare feat of breeding suicide bombers determined to attack the very society that incubated them; and the question is why. Why does America import its suicide bombers, while we produce our own?

The disaster is that we no longer make any real demands of loyalty upon those who are immigrants or the children of immigrants.

So we have drifted on over the intervening decades, and created a multi-cultural society that has many beauties and attractions, but in which too many Britons have absolutely no sense of allegiance to this country or its institutions. It is a cultural calamity that will take decades to reverse, and we must begin now with what I call in this morning’s Spectator the re-Britannification of Britain.

That means insisting, in a way that is cheery and polite, on certain values that we identify as British. If that means the end of spouting hate in mosques, and treating women as second-class citizens, then so be it. We need to acculturate the second-generation Muslim communities to our way of life, and end the obvious alienation that they feel.

That means the imams will have to change their tune, and it is no use the Muslim Council of Great Britain endlessly saying that “the problem is not Islam”, when it is blindingly obvious that in far too many mosques you can find sermons of hate, and literature glorifying 9/11 and vilifying Jews.

We have reached a turning-point in the relations between the Muslim community and the rest of us, and it is time for the moderates to show real leadership.

Shahid Malik, MP for Dewsbury, who said yesterday: “The challenge is straightforward – that those voices that we have tolerated will no longer be tolerated, whether they be on the streets, in the schools, in the youth clubs, in the mosque, in a corner, in a house.

We need to go beyond condemning. We need to confront.” Well said, Shahid; and it is time for the imams to follow.

Climate alarmists always like to claim that there is a link between CO2 and global warming because of the apparent coincidence of corresponding trends, never mind that even the CRU’s Phil Jones admitted that CO2 production lagged the warmth by 800 years.

But what else is there that has a similar corresponding pathway?  Population.

Here’s global warming…..

And here’s population growth…..

Very similar trajectories and time scales……when the West’s population was falling the third world’s was booming and they all needed heating and fires to cook on [using coal or wood from forests cleared to also provide more agricultural land to feed the multitude] never mind their own use of vehicles and industrialisation…ala China.

Just as viable to blame the third world and developing nations for global warming as the West….but that wouldn’t fit the Left’s agenda of stripping industry from the West and robbing the West of its wealth to hand out to the third world.

Amused to see the Catholic Church wanting birth control and a say in the science of climate.…why oh why isn’t Harrabin sneering at the Pope as he did to a Republican climate sceptic who also happened to be a believing Christian who didn’t accept the theory of evolution….presumably something the Pope must also be somewhat sceptical about?

It is astonishing but there seems to be hardly a word that Harrabin writes or says that can be relied upon to be the whole and honest truth.  He is just relentless in his half-truths and outright lies.

Here he condemns the government….

  As UK plays leading role at #COP21, govt slaps extra VAT on #renewables. On top of previous carbon tax. https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/vat-changes-to-the-reduced-rate-of-vat-for-the-installation-of-energy-saving-materials … @ECIU_UK

Only the government hasn’t ‘slapped on’ extra VAT to renewables…it’s a consultation about proposed changes, ones to be made at the behest of the beloved EU……..

This consultation looks at proposed changes to the reduced rate of VAT for the installation of energy saving materials in compliance with a recent decision by the European Court.

#sickntiredharrabinlies

It’s a very small world for Roger Harrabin who seems only concerned with a very narrow world view happily ignoring all else going on especially if it doesn’t fit his own narrative.

Once again he obsesses about the UK decision to shelve carbon capture….a great pity for all those in the carbon capture industry who were looking forward to the mega cash-flow filling their bank balances….always odd how a BBC obsessed with big business ripping us off ignores the personal £100 milliion fortune green energy tycoon Dale Vince made on the back of government subsidies.

Anyway here’s Harrabin once again on his hobbyhorse…

Funny how he is totally uninterested in what other Americans have to say [except to promote Greenpeace propaganda]…how about this from a US Senate sub-committee…..

I was talking to Jon Gaunt earlier today about the intolerance of the political Left. Nowhere is this more concentrated than in the citadels of the media, with the BBC being the Sanctum Sanctorum. With cultural marxism providing the linguistic narrative, it was obvious that the BBC would be horrified by Trumps ‘No Muslims” comment. How DARE he have an opinion they don’t like? The BBC are such hypocrites. They feign an interest in all shades of opinion but the truth is they only tolerate that narrow range that resonates with their dhimmified metrosexual liberalism. It’s been clear for a long time that the BBC want Hillary Clinton to be become the next POTUS and Trump is causing them a headache because they more he is criticised by the left wing media stateside, the stronger he gets. Can you imagine the BBC having to report on a future “President Trump has phoned President Le Pen to discuss the UK’s exit from the EU?” scenario.

For years the BBC has shoved down the cultural wonders of Romany Culture down our throats and along comes Tyson Fury, spouting his own “Romany values” and the BBC becomes apoplectic with rage! You have to laugh at it all. I really hope he wins SPOFTY just to hear his victory speech. Mind you, some BBC journalists won’t be happy…

A BBC Northern Ireland journalist has been “threatened with suspension” after criticising the broadcaster’s decision to keep Tyson Fury on the shortlist for the BBC Sports Personality of the year, according to reports. Andy West, a BBC NI news presenter wrote on his Facebook that he was “ashamed to work for the BBC”, according to BuzzFeed News.

So he should be.
