We have been given one transcript by the British Media of what one of the killers of the British soldier said:

‘We swear by Almighty Allah we will never stop fighting you. The only reasons we have done this is because Muslims are dying every day. This British soldier is an eye for an eye a tooth for tooth. We apologise that women had to see this today but in our lands our women have to see the same. You people will never be safe. Remove your government. They don’t care about you.’

However that isn’t what he said..this is:

‘There are many, many ayah throughout the Koran [referring to religious verses] that says we must fight them as they fight us, an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. I apologize that women had to witness this today but in our land women have to see the same. You people will never be safe. Remove your government, they don’t care about you.’

A fresh open thread as old one is going to become unwieldy soon.

 A  shocking and savage attack on a young man who is thought to have been a soldier in London.

As we look at this subject it should be remembered that a family has just had a knock on the door from an Army officer who is bringing them some traumatic and tragic news…not just that their son is dead but that he died in such a way.

The assumption is that the attack was carried out was an Islamic terrorist attack (just confirmed…film of attacker making statement)..the BBC reported the attackers shouted Allah Akbhar…what they don’t report is that witnesses say they beheaded the young man.

A BBC reporter has admitted this is ‘ controversial and incendiary’….‘it raises very serious issues.’….will the BBC be raising these questions or once again burying the inconvenient truths?

We’re being told it was ‘certainly a political act’….ITN shows video  of one of the men who stated that ‘We swear my almighty Allah that we will never stop fighting you.’

He also said that women see these things in ‘our land’…5Live’s Peter Allen says ‘What ‘Our Land’ is I’m not quite sure….it’s rather difficult to know what ‘Our land’ means.’

No, it’s quite simple…‘Our Land’…means Muslim lands…in other words their allegiance is not to Britain but to Islam….in other words ‘Caliphate’.

Ah…later ‘explanation’…the West is illegally in Muslim lands…according to ‘Al Qaeda’s’ distorted ideology as the BBC calls it….many others will tell you that ‘Al Qaeda’ is in fact carrying out the imperatives within the Koran and not distorting the ideology.

BBC ignorance, wilful or otherwise illustrates why talking about Islam and its values and meaning is so important.

BBC already asking were these people on police ‘radar’?…police to blame then?….as well as foreign policy no doubt.  Peter Allen….‘MI5 to answer for what they knew and didn’t know’.

BBC says ‘There had been no evidence of racial tension in the area’……as the attack was inspired by religion, race has nothing to do with it….the BBC have long, not just ignored, but refused to acknowledge the religious element to these types of attacks.

Almost immediately the BBC had a Muslim spokesman on to patronise us….don’t be angry…be nice to Muslims. 

Just heard someone on 5Live,  Dr Brooke Rogers…. saying…don’t use word terrorism…has unwanted effects on communities….never mind that film by the attacker then.

Is this how the BBC will be reporting this when the shock has died down?….

Riots grip Stockholm suburbs after police shooting

When C4’s Dispatches broadcast ‘Undercover Mosque’ they were ignored by the BBC who instead spent the week attacking  C4’s other programme, Big Brother with Jade Goody…denouncing her for being ‘racist’ (She wasn’t)……the Police of course investigated C4 and not the Mosques!

Perhaps if those Mosques and the rhetoric and ideas promoted within them had been dealt with at the time people might have been able to walk the streets of Britain in safety.

5Live is now asking ‘What drove these men?‘….10:00pm

British Muslim speaks…..This goes against the teachings of Allah which is a religion of peace….why should I have to justify my religion? (20:35)

BBC: ‘Are there sections in the Koran which could be misinterpreted?‘….Note that automatic ‘misinterpreted’.

Presumably like this one….. ‘Prophet, make war on the unbelievers and the hypocrites, and deal sternly with them.’

or these:

‘God Loves those who fight for His cause in ranks as firm as a mighty edifice.’

‘We renounce you [unbelievers]:  enmity and hate shall reign between us until you believe in God only.’

‘Believers do not make friends with those who are enemies of Mine and yours.’

‘The true believers are those who have faith in God and His apostle, and never doubt; and who fight with their wealth and with their persons in the cause of God.’  Such are those whose faith is true.’

Ibrahim Mogra, Assistant Secretary General of the MCB (usually judged ‘extreme’ organisation) on 5Live (22:35ish):   Essentially pedalling the same justifications as the killer’s for Muslim ‘anger’…Muslims oppressed by foreign policy, though he says that ‘anger’ must be channelled peacefully…no justification for violence.

Guess this is correct:

One FBI official quoted in “Muslim Mafia” says CAIR and the other Muslim Brotherhood front groups differ from al-Qaida in that, while all share the same goals, they use different methods to achieve them.

“The only difference between the guys in the suits and the guys with the AK-47s is timing and tactics,” the official explained

BBC deploying  anti-EDL rhetoric ….EDL are ‘retaliating’…..seem more concerned about condemning the EDL and having Muslims claim they are the real vicitms (once again) of this attack than about the murder.

Well done BBC, it only took you FOUR hours to move the decapitation of a British soldier on the streets of Woolwich by Islamic jihadists ABOVE the shooting of an Islamic Jihadist in Florida.  Nauseating. I’m out of the UK at the moment so can see the BBC world pages running order and it has only just changed. Still, at least they are no longer claiming it may have been a car accident,

Yes, it’s a popular meme with the BBC these days and a great excuse for Auntie to bash any recalcitrant “swivel eyed conservative loons” and I took part on a debate on the topic yesterday on the BBC Nolan Show. In summary my opposition to gay marriage is that I believe legalising it will restrict the liberty of those who may feel otherwise (such as most UK Churches) and that once enshrined in law they will face the same bullying despotism as we already witness in Canada, or indeed Denmark. Nolan was not seemingly interested in this approach to the issue and instead pursued a few Christian callers on what he considered theological grounds.  The main protagonists  were me (against) a lesbian (in favour) and a gay man (in favour). Ever get the feeling the debate is being skewed against you? Nolan’s attack line was to mock the Christian callers, ignore me, and side with the ever so reasonable gay people. As a follow up, BBC Northern Ireland had a special programme on “the issue” last night. It was presented by a woman who took a pro gay marriage line. What a shocker, never seen that one coming!

Comrade Miliband is rushing into declaring war on Google, as the BBC breathlessly reports here.  In a sense, Red Ed is only following in the wake of Cameron, Osborne and Clegg, who all queuing up to bash any corporation that dares take advantage of the tax code complexity put in place by…erm..politicians! Anyway, my point is not the blatant posturing of the political class on this issue (that’s just a given in my book and the BBC is not to blame for that) but rather the way in which the BBC plays this story. You have to get to the very last sentence of the article before poor old Google are allowed a comment to defend their impugned integrity. Same with Apple yesterday, the BBC basically have decided these corporations are all “evil” (copyright Saint Margaret Hodge) and so it’s really about punishing them for the temerity of seeking to protect their evil profits from rapacious Governments.

Picture the scene. France under President Hollande goes against the will of the gay community and rules out the prospect of”gay marriage”. A gay man, distraught at this news, goes to the altar at the Notre Dame cathedral in Paris and shoots himself, in despair. Can you IMAGINE the BBC take on that? Right, now compare with how they deal with this.

Here you go folks, a band new shiny Open Thread to detail the bias!

As we all know, the BBC deploys the finest journalists that our money can buy to bring us the news that really counts. So, isn’t odd this missed this?

Swedish police arrested eight people after riots in Husby spread to other Stockholm suburbs last night as young people set fire to cars and schools and vandalized property. About 30 cars burned overnight in suburbs including Husby, Jakobsberg, Norsborg and Vaarberg, Kjell Lindgren, a spokesman for the Swedish Police, said by phone today. In Husby, a school and the Husby Gaard cultural center were set on fire while rubbish bins burned across Stockholm’s western and southern suburbs. A school was also set alight in the Skaerholmen suburb, and a police station and buildings in central Jakobsberg were vandalized

Ah, “young people” aka “youths” aka Muslims! You would think intrepid BBC journalists would be beating a path to Stockholm but apparently not. Maybe they are busy pushing the necessity of the gay marriage to preclude such enterprising thoughts? Allahu Akhbar, chums.

Nigel Farage was recently set upon by Scottish nationalists who serenaded him with offensive, racist chants which included ‘you can stick your Union Jack up your a***’ and ‘go back to England, you’re not welcome here’. 

He said they were Fascist scum…not far wrong there. 

Alex Salmond, instead of distancing himself from this rabble of extremists practically aligned himself with them…and denounced Farage as having ‘lost the plot’ and went further saying …’ it would be a “great mistake” to take “somebody of that mentality with any degree of seriousness“.  An SNP spokesman added this….”Nothing he says can be treated with a shred of credibility and his partners in the No campaign should be embarrassed about his behaviour.”

 The BBC are not much interested in looking at Scottish nationalism in light of Farage’s comments and addressing it in the same tone they treat UKIP in regard to their immigration policies.

The BBC seem to have forgotten this report of theirs from 1999:

In an interview with the Sunday Herald newspaper, Glasgow-born Connolly said:

“It’s entirely their fault (the SNP), this new racism in Scotland, this anti-Englishness….there’s a viciousness to it now that I really loathe and it is their fault entirely.” 

Nigel Farage of course put the phone down on the BBC in a subsequent interview  (in side box)when he felt they were insulting him…it was verging on aggressive at times….The BBC haven’t forgotten that.

In that interview Farage said:

‘If this is the face of Scottish nationalism it’s a pretty ugly picture.’

The BBC interviewer from ‘Good Morning Scotland’ retorted:

‘This is a hugely objectionable point you are making…suggesting that anti-English racism is somehow conflated with the campaign for a yes vote.’

As you can see from Billy Connolly’s remarks and those of others quoted here the BBC’s belief that linking the SNP’s campaign to the rise in extremist and racist politics is wrong is misguided.

Later on in the interview the BBC interviewer said:

‘The overwhelming message from yesterday’s event [the attack on Farage] seems to be that your political philosophy is an alien political philosophy’.

That seems a strange choice of word…’Alien‘….as in ‘Foreign, English and unwanted’ no doubt….backing up Farage’s point really….and did that extremist rabble really represent the ‘overwhelming message’ that the Scots want to present to the world?

The Commentator brings us this BBC interview  with UKIP’s Godfrey Bloom,MEP, in which the BBC assassinates Farage’s character….they essentially accuse him  of being a drunk  and smoking too much….drinking and smoking to such excess that it effects his judgment.

I wonder how much all those drugs that BBC staff consume effects their judgement?

Drink, drugs and bullying: BBC forced to reveal its disciplinary record

In what way did the BBC accuse him of losing his judgement? (suspiciously similar line to that of the SNP)….The interviewer accused him of having blamed the SNP itself for the attack on him,  and went on to say:

‘It’s a matter of Farage’s judgement being in question….he works very hard, perhaps it’s tellng on him…perhaps he smokes and drinks too much as well….is his lifestyle taking its toll because of his judgment’

A pretty cheap line of questioning, a ‘trick‘ designed to undermine his credibility and reputation.

That line presupposes a couple of things…one that Farage’s judgement is in any way faulty and second that the Scottish nationalists weren’t as Farage described them, ‘Fascist scum’, and that the machinations of the SNP in rousing nationalist fervour didn’t play its part.

It also presupposes that he did blame the SNP….which this BBC report denies:

‘Mr Farage did not suggest this was anything to do with the SNP as a party’.

Personally I’m with Billy Connolly on this one…and so is Scottish composer James MacMillan:

‘Alex Salmond is exploiting Scotland’s reservoir of anti-Englishness. Don’t be surprised if it overflows’

And the Telegraph:

‘The persistent contempt for the English emanating from Mr Salmond and the SNP partly explains why so many English people want to sever ties with Scotland.’

Farage quite rightly points out the BBC’s hypocrisy….(and of course in the interview we had the obligatory mention of the BNP alongside UKIP)….

 “If anybody from UKIP says anything on Facebook that is in any way homophobic or mildly racist you guys jump down my throat and demand I condemn them and expel them from the party, which of course I do. It is about time Scottish nationalism was put under the same level of scrutiny.”

A survey says many people in Scotland believe that an anti-English feeling exists north of the border.

The opinion poll for the Daily Record newspaper found that 66% of those questioned agreed with the statement: “Many people in Scotland are anti-English.”

The findings were published a day after comedian Billy Connolly accused the Scottish National Party of stirring up “new racism” in Scotland.
