BBC Says Opposing Shariah Law Is ‘Islamophobic’

The British Broadcasting Service (BBC) – a public broadcaster funded by a “TV licence” fee forced on UK television owners – has declared that resistance to Shariah law is “Islamophobic”.

According to a news clip, BBC online coverage, and the comments of its reporter Catrin Nye, a man called “Paul” approached a BBC film crew while recording an interview with Islam campaigner Ruqaiya Haris.

Ms. Haris, a Muslim activist and student at the School of Oriental and African Studies, is told by Paul, “There’s no Sharia law here”.

Her and Ms. Nye’s reactions to the statement made freely in a public place are nothing short of hysterical.

The clip opens with Ms. Haris openly stating that she doesn’t believe in condemning recent terror attacks. Her voice, solemn and almost bored, changes immediately when the man known as Paul confronts us.

Ms. Haris bolts up from her interview on a park bench as Ms. Nye glares in a disgusted manner at the man.

“Do you wanna talk about Shariah law, you wanna talk about Shariah law to me?” she shouts at the man as she stands over him.

I agree with your comments, and I’m glad you won’t stand for it.

I liken it to the Cold War years and our limitations on Russian travel. We watched Soviets closely. We didn’t want them spying on us or sabotaging us.

Now we just let tens of thousands of folks in, some of which aren’t just spies, but have active military objectives, killing U. S. Citizens, disrupting our society and infrastructure, and overturning our judicial system.

These people aim to control us in short order. And if they don’t they’ll make us sorry.

Hack, spit on that idea...

Not so. The government has no control whatsoever over BBC programming. Every government since the BBC began in the 1920s has sooner or later become paranoid about the BBC’s coverage of itself, but has been unable to do anything about it. The only time when a government can influence the BBC is once every decade or so when the legislation renewing the BBC’s Royal Charter (which guarantees the BBC’s constitutional independence) comes before Parliament. The next renewal is due later this year.

“we don’t like your hijab any more than a swastika armband.”

Outstanding. The hijab is nothing more than the swastika armband.

I need to boil that down to about four words to give the phrase impact and make it memorable.

You obviously know more than I about this subject; thanks.

Please do, with my compliments.

I have also compared the hijab to the WWII German helmet. Whoever wears either is making a statement.

Agree. This country is close to being another Sodom and Gomorrah. We have one last chance and that is Trump. Trump is the only one who has even spoken about making America what is was. How can anyone like this current exceedingly wicked and perverted administration?
