On Tuesday 8 April at 10am Tim Burton’s trial at Birmingham Magistrates' Court will settle the question of whether the defendant, by calling Muslim Fiyaz Mujhal “a mendacious grievance-mongering taqiyya-artist” on Twitter, committed racially aggravated harassment, as he is accused of having done by the West Midlands Police.
Mujhal was exposed by The Telegraph’s Andrew Gilligan for exaggerating the numbers and seriousness of “anti-Muslim attacks” following the Woolwich murder of soldier Lee Rigby, and had his organisation Tell MAMA’s public funding discontinued. Many of these “attacks” were in fact simple posts on Facebook and other social media, similar to the tweets for which Burton is on trial.
Tim is the Radio Officer of Liberty GB, a British newly-formed conservative and patriotic party.
Burton’s trial is very worrying for anyone who holds dear freedom of speech and other basic civil liberties. One of the worrisome aspects is the conflating of “religion” with “race”. Islam is clearly not a race and Muslims belong to all races, including white. Furthermore, the Crown Prosecution Service considers those two charges (racially- and religiously-aggravated crimes) as distinct ones.
But, despite officially paying lip service to this distinction, in Tim Burton’s case the CPS is trying to combine and confuse the two because it does not have sufficient ground to get a conviction on the “religiously aggravated” charge – which requires stronger evidence -, so decides to prosecute using the easier “racially aggravated” one.
As the CPS’s own website says, “So it will be more difficult to prosecute for inciting religious hatred as opposed to racial hatred”.
The attempt to “racialise Muslims” clearly exists but not, as Tell MAMA says, on the part of Liberty GB. It exists on the part of British Islam apologists and their allies, the politically correct Establishment.
Since there are no blasphemy laws in the UK and criticism of any religion, including Islam, is theoretically tolerated, only two alternatives are left to British Muslims who want to protect Islam from the expression of the uncomfortable truths of its supremacist and violent nature. One is to invoke the introduction of a blasphemy law; the other, subtler and more effective, is to turn existing anti-racist, “hate crime” laws into a sharia-style blasphemy law.
An attempt had previously been made by the Labour government, when the Racial and Religious Hatred Act 2006 was passed, to formulate it in such a way that it could criminalise the criticism of Islam, the Quran and Muhammad. This was made impossible by the opposition of the Catholic Church and the Church of England, as well as the evangelical group Christian Voice who threatened to use this law against the Quran, which is full to the brim with incitements to religious hatred. Therefore the bill had to be amended.
But what went out legally by the door of Parliamentary procedure is now being reintroduced surreptitiously through the window of politically correct police and prosecution establishments.
This is why Liberty GB will hold a public protest outside Birmingham Magistrates' Court on 8 April at 9am and considers this trial crucially important.
Our intention is twofold. Firstly, to show to the British and Western public what taqiyya – deception for the good of Islam - is and, given the special position in the relationship between Muslims and non-Muslims of this divine permission to lie, to show the whole nature of Islam in relation to us through it. For this reason, Islam’s scholar Professor Hans Jansen is scheduled to appear at the trial and give evidence as expert witness on taqiyya. We’ve christened this a “taqiyya trial”.
Secondly, to defend free speech and stop the effective use of anti-racist legislation as blasphemy laws.
Here are more details on Taqiyya Trials in Europe
The defendant Tim Burton will be on the courtroom steps at 9:15am and then inside the main building from 9:30am ready to be interviewed.
No, it is not a “race”, in the true definition of the word. It is not based on ancestry.
However, it is a de-facto “race” in the deconstructed logic of the lunatic left (redundant, I know).
Mohammedans, Moslems, Muzzloids, MoHamHeads, Musselmen, whatever you wanna call them, are part of a victim class, according to leftist logic (contradiction in terms, I know).
It’s A CULT !!!!!
And that is the kindest thing anyone can say about it.

....and in jail by 10:00 am after the kangaroo court advises him that there are no bill of rights in GB and jail awaits him.
Abdulrahman Ali Al-harbi is suing Glen Beck for libel.
I went back looking for photographs and found they had been altered.
Mr. Al-harbi was arrested after the Boston Marathon bombing because he was running away from the bombsite and had burnt hands. He was later hospitalized for those injuries and visited by Michelle Obama. The photos taken at the time show him with bandaged hands. Those are the photos that have been altered.
I am now wondering if the hospital records and police reports have been altered as well. If they have been then we no longer have justice in this nation and have become a communist or fascist nation.
Heads up, FR! I’m interested in everyone’s opinion.
The disturbing part is that attacks are now composed of ‘posts’ on websites.
If it is a race then we may switch our races at will just by converting to a new belief system. (This is just like being able to choose your gender at will in California.) That way if you are charged with a racial hate crime just convert your race to the same as the victim and bingo - the hate charges go away.
Heck yeah. Any ethnic tag you might hold is being re-classified as a race these day. Purty durn absurd.
Where are they racing to?
cult started by an demonically-possessed pedophile.
Islam IS a mental disorder.
FReeper help needed!!! - See post #7
Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping!
To get onto The Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping List you must threaten to report me to the Mods if I don't add you to the list...
Religion comes with an instruction manual, not race.
Can’t say anymore , could be mistaken for a hate crime.
Actually, there was a Supreme Court decision (I can’t remember the name of it) that essentially said that a person’s “race” is whatever that person says it is.
Which is why I mark my race as “Elven” :)
Can’t find the pix
if the brits “decide” and rule that mohammadummies are a race...that means that Johnny Jihad is Transracial?
what a farce
How many times must I repeat this - “Islam is a war cult.”
Coming to a US courtroom near you soon! Liberal/Progressive thought is the most dangerous plague mankind has ever faced!
