Welcome to the Islamic theocracy of Great Britain

Hamit Coskun’s Koran-burning conviction is a shameful affront to liberal, Enlightenment values.

It’s a verdict that would make the Ayatollah smile. Today, in nominally liberal Britain, a man has been found guilty of a crime after he dared to burn a Koran in public. Hamit Coskun, a Turkish-born asylum seeker, has been convicted of a ‘religiously aggravated public-order offence’ over his – quite literally – incendiary protest outside of the Turkish consulate in London in February, against what he sees as the Islamist turn of Erdogan’s Turkey. If nothing else, Coskun’s stunt has exposed the Islamist-apologist turn of our own United Kingdom.

On paper, Coskun has been convicted of ‘disorderly behaviour within the hearing or sight of a person likely to be caused harassment, alarm or distress’, motivated by ‘hostility towards members of a religious group, namely followers of Islam’, contrary to the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 and the Public Order Act 1986. But we all know what that word salad really means in practice, regardless of the judge’s many assurances to the contrary. Coskun has been convicted, and fined £240, for blasphemy. All by a supposedly secular court.

Maoists wouldn’t let muzzies run things. They put them in gulags. These homos all think the muzzies are gonna be more controllable than the natives.

I wonder how many Muslims have been arrested by wearing a burka in public causing a ‘religiously aggravated public-order offence’.

No, I really don’t have to wonder at all.

The US must extricate ourselves from European politics and NATO before it’s too late.

They’re only going to get us in trouble. “Hey, we started a war with Russia now come save us!”

By then Americans will have no desire to fight for the British, French and German Caliphates.
