Sharia UK: Police hunting for man who made a rude joke to a Muslim
AUG 17, 2019 4:00 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER
Note Tell MAMA’s headline: they claim that this man made a “racist slur” against a Muslim. What race is Islam again? In reality, there are Muslims, and Islamic jihadis, of all races. But TellMAMA wants to intimidate Britons into believing that anyone who makes a rude quip to a Muslim is a racist, and thus deserving to have the book thrown at him.
But that’s all this was: a quip. Say anything you want: the guy was rude, or his joke was tasteless, or whatever. But an arrestable offense? That’s insane. The Muslim could have laughed it off, or come back with his own counter-quip. Instead, he contacted Tell MAMA, who contacted the police, who, instead of telling them to grow up and stop the endless victimhood posturing, is actually investigating. The cumulative effect of all the many incidents like this one in Britain will be a cowed and submissive populace that doesn’t dare utter the slightest negative word about Muslims or Islam, for fear of prosecution. And that, not coincidentally, is the status Muslims enjoy in Islamic law, which forbids all criticism of Muslims or Islam on pain of death.
“Salford City investigating racist slur made against Muslim supporter,” TellMAMA, August 14, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
A Muslim man was abused by a middle-aged man, who said: “You haven’t come to bomb the place have you?” and then laughed, as they queued to purchase tickets for the Carabao Cup clash between Salford City and Leeds United.
The incident took place outside of Salford City’s Peninsula Stadium on August 11 at around 10:00 am GMT.
Speaking to Tell MAMA, he consented to have his story shared anonymously to raise awareness of the incident, reported the Islamophobic and anti-Muslim abuse to staff who are investigating.
Tell MAMA reported the incident to Greater Manchester Police on their behalf.
The Muslim man felt targeted due to his beard, ethnicity, and thobe, which demonstrates the intersections between racialisation and religiosity. Non-Muslim men have faced racialised abuse and violence on the misperception that their appearance, including their ethnicity and beard, were indicators of the Islamic faith.
He described the perpetrator as a white male, who was in his mid-to-late fifties.
A spokesperson for Salford City spoke of their “immense disappointment”, and, in a statement to Tell MAMA, said: “We are hugely disappointed to learn of this, and it is being dealt with in cooperation with the relevant authorities. Salford City does not tolerate the use of racist or abusive language or behaviour and we will take relevant action against the person responsible in conjunction with Greater Manchester Police”.

You are absolutely correct. “Hate speech” isn’t protected by the First Amendment, they’ll tell you. And just what is “hate speech”? Well, it’s anything they don’t agree with.
Why can’t Boris fix this shiite?
The muzzards should be constantly ridiculed and insulted until they either whack out and can be dealt with, or go away.
Actually even that guy had to get through Parliament as well so not a good comparison I guess.
Hard to tell which has descended into evil more, the FBI or Scotland Yard.
Made it up.
I’m aghast.
The West is caught up in some kind of worldwide psychosis.
There’s just no rational explanation for this level of self-loathing.
The bucket.
You are right. It sucks.
“The destruction of European Civilization - by its own leaders - is one of the most extraordinary acts in all of Human History.” -Hungarian Prime Minister, May 2018
They've reverted back to the mid 19th century when they arrested working class people, and charged them with treason, because they had asked for voting rights, and spoken out against the government over it. You would be sentenced to death if found guilty. Now they're back to arresting people simply for speaking their mind. Britain is clueless. They forget their own history when it comes to free speech.
So, I can’t tell this joke?
“In islam, it’s:
Women for the begetting of children
Boys for pleasure.
Goats for love”
Churchill would be arrested and hauled before a judge were he alive today.
“How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries.
Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property—either as a child, a wife, or a concubine—must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men.
Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities. Thousands become the brave and loyal soldiers of the Queen: all know how to die. But the influence of the religion paralyzes the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proseltyzing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science—the science against which it had vainly struggled—the civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome.”

They’re both quick reads, as they originated as serial dispatches from the front from Churchill’s war correspondent days. Free at Project Gutenberg, read them on your tablet, phone, or computer. Or go dead trees and print them out, heck, I’m OK with that!
They both should have been immediate post-9/11 required reading for all officers and NCOs in the armed forces, all Foreign Service involved with the Middle East, and all intelligence agency leadership.
It was really more the Hawker Hurricanes that did the heavy lifting, but the Spitfires did their part too, though in much smaller numbers.
So now the world resembles a Monty Python routine.
Wow. All it seems one ever heard about was the spitfires.
I need to go do some reading.
Boris Johnson is solving all the problems I see.....SARC
