Sharia UK: Police hunting for man who made a rude joke to a Muslim
Jihad Watch ^ | 8/17/19 | Robert Spencer

AUG 17, 2019 4:00 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER 96 COMMENTS Note TellMAMA’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”….

If you had told me ten or 20 years ago that the United Kingdom would be the Dhimmi Kingdom by 2019, I'd have told you that you were nuts. And I was never impressed with their backbone. But I never dreamed they were this spineless.

I thought there were some new folks in charge over there.

Maybe it’ll take a while to change the insanity.

Or maybe the insanity won’t change.

I don’t know enough about England to take a strong position.

Unless all I read here is accurate.

Then they’re in a lot of trouble and this new guy is their last chance.

“You haven’t come to bomb the place have you?”>>>>>>>>>>

Allahwahoo Whackbar!

We need more men like like that “slurrist.”

Islamofascism can be defeated by exposure and ridicule.

This complaining rag head actually is a jihadi supporter or he would have laughed it off.

To MISQUOTE Winston Churchill:
“Never in history as SO MANY discarded SO MUCH secured for them by SO FEW!!”
The losses, sadly, were just never replaced.

Replace ‘muslims’ with ‘blacks’ and consider that state of police departments across the country.

Black neighborhoods are hostage to criminals and race-baiting mobs that prevent law enforcement.

It won’t be long before such behavior will be considered blasphemy, punishable by decapitation in the public square. You’ve made your bed, England.

I suppose asking the Amish if they like horses is now a racial slur.

I wish the British police would spend their time going after actual criminals and terrorists, not made-up ones.

Looks like the ‘Bobbies’ should now be known as the “Bobettes”.

The next time a Moslem jihadist attacks and wounds or kills a British police officer, put out a BOLO that reads as:
“Be on the lookout for a white male, mid-50’s, who doesn’t like Moslems”.

Oh, it was a Moslem who killed that officer. Sorry. Never mind!

Better arrest them all to make sure they get the culprit. All white males over the age of 50 are guilty until they can prove beyond a doubt that they are innocent.

Europeans forgot there is a difference between migrants and an invasion force.
