LONDON—The British government will review its sentencing policies after a convicted terrorist on early release from prison carried out a stabbing attack in the heart of London that left two people dead. Police identified the attacker, who they shot dead on London Bridge on Friday, as 28-year-old Usman Khan. He had been convicted in 2012 for terrorism offenses and served time in prison for the part he played in a plot to bomb the London Stock Exchange in 2010. Three people were also injured in the attack, one seriously. Authorities said that Mr. Khan appeared to have acted alone. He...

THE DAY BRITISH JUSTICE DIED: July 5, 2019 Tommy Robinson found guilty of “hurting the feelings of Muslim pedophile sex gang defendants by filming them outside courthouse” https://barenakedislam.com/2019/07/07/the-day-british-justice-died-july-5-2019-tommy-robinson-found-guilty-of-hurting-the-feelings-of-muslim-paedophile-sex-gang-defendants-by-filming-them-outside-courthouse/

London Mayor Sadiq Khan weighed in on his opposition to President Donald Trump's visit to the UK saying Britain would probably 'regret' it, according to reports. Khan, who Trump branded yesterday as a 'stone cold loser,' accused the president of 'amplifying racists' on Twitter."Surely the UK should be saying to Trump 'listen, you're a poster boy for the far right movement around the world'," Khan told Sky News.

Arabic-speaking ‘recruitment’ videos the British government made in the 1960s show a more tolerant nation than today’s hostile environment In the current climate of Islamophobia, I wonder how many British people are aware of a series of films made in the early 1960s, which were expressly designed to encourage people from Arab countries to come to Britain to work or study. The four films, all in Arabic, were made on behalf of the Foreign Office, and all begin with a mosque skyline and melodic chants of “Allahu Akbar”, the start of the Muslim call to prayer. They are unapologetically religious,...

UK: ‘Chilling’ footage shows London Bridge jihadist wiping knife on his beard after slaughtering eight people One of the London bridge jihadist attackers, Khuram Butt, “washed his knife and wiped it on his beard in a ‘chilling gesture’ after killing eight people at London Bridge and Borough Market, an inquest has heard.” The beard is an important symbol of honor to Allah for Salafists, so it would follow that Khuram Butt’s “chilling gesture” was intended as a form of worship as he murdered innocents in the name of Islam. Screaming “Allahu Akbar is another expression of reverence which the London...

3,000 Muslim children from the UK attend madrasas in Pakistan that preach jihad violence What could possibly go wrong? Anyone who looks askance at this is obviously just a racist, bigoted “Islamophobe.” “Terrorism fears as 3,000 UK children a year go to ‘jihadi’ schools in Pakistan, secret government report reveals,” by Abul Taher, The Mail on Sunday, March 23, 2019: A secret Government report has warned that more than 3,000 British children are being taken to Pakistan each year and enrolled in extremist summer schools. The chilling Home Office study says courses at madrasas teach a ‘glorified version of jihad’,...

As a gay conservative in public life, I don’t feel safe in an Islamized Britain anymore. In 2015, I wrote the column that secured my place in the pantheon of Right-wing hate figures: “I’m A Gay Man And Mass Muslim Immigration Terrifies Me.” Shortly afterwards, I left London, disturbed by the state of my capital city and hoping that with a megaphone in America I could sound the alarm about European Islamization. But the cancer has further metastasized. Although I have since married an American citizen, and am therefore eligible for a green card, I am applying for asylum in...

A nativity scene in Ilford has been “destroyed by idiots”.The British Pakistani Christian Association (BCPA) paid for and installed the statues to remind people in the High Road of the real meaning of Christmas. Yet, in an attack on Christianity, the Virgin Mary and Joseph have been smashed and the infant Jesus was decapitated. A local non-religious resident told the Ilford Recorder the incident was “religious desecration”. She said: “It is three days before Christmas and this happens”. Further saying, “Any other religion and there would be an outcry and it would have been fixed already. “It is a desecration...

This man didn’t threaten to kill converts from Islam to Christianity. He just threatened to rape them. He must be a “moderate.” The death penalty for apostasy is part of Islamic law. It’s based on the Qur’an: “They wish you would disbelieve as they disbelieved so you would be alike. So do not take from among them allies until they emigrate for the cause of Allah. But if they turn away, then seize them and kill them wherever you find them and take not from among them any ally or helper.” (Qur’an 4:89) A hadith depicts Muhammad saying: “Whoever changed...

Asia BibiBritain has rejected an appeal for asylum from Asia Bibi, the Pakistani Christian acquitted of blasphemy last week who is under the threat of death from Islamic leaders who struck a deal with her government to block her exit. The British government said allowing Bibi to enter the U.K. would cause unrest among Muslims, according to an advocate, the Huffington Post reported. Wilson Chowdhry, chairman of the British Pakistani Christian Association, said he’s been led to believe that the British government “had concerns that her moving to the UK would cause security concerns and unrest among certain sections...

LONDON — Islamist preacher Anjem Choudary was released from prison Friday, prompting concerns that his new freedom could spark extremist activity. Described by Britain’s prison minister as “genuinely dangerous,” Choudary, 51, was jailed in 2016 for encouraging support for the Islamic State. He was automatically eligible for release after serving half of his prison sentence and will be subject to a number of restrictions during the remainder of his sentence.....

20 men, mostly of Pakistani origin, jailed in UK for sexual abuse of teenage girls Twenty men have been jailed for raping and abusing more than a dozen girls in a northern England town, in what a judge called a “vile and wicked” campaign of exploitation.The men in the town of Huddersfield were found guilty in three trials this year, but the verdicts could not be reported until a judge lifted reporting restrictions on Friday.The cases are the latest in a series of prosecutions in northern English towns and cities for child sexual exploitation involving British Asian men of mostly...

Mosques are popping up all over Britain, especially in its capital city of London. Sharia courts are in full function in London, handing out actual decisions to London’s ever growing Muslim population. “London is more Islamic than many Muslim countries put together,” Islamic preacher Maulana Syed Raza Rizvi told local media Churches still outnumber mosques in Britain, but there are many mosques that are becoming overcrowded. Five years ago the Daily Mail published photos of churches and mosques in London. The difference was astonishing. The St Mary’s Church had only 12 people attending mass. While nearby at the Brune Street...

The Muslim Council of Britain is calling on the British government to ban renowned evangelist Franklin Graham because they allege his views on Islam and same-sex marriage violate the nation's hate speech laws. Graham, the president of Samaritan's Purse and the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, is scheduled to lead a series of religious gatherings beginning Sept. 21. "In the past the government has banned individuals whom they claim are 'not conducive to the public good.' Mr. Graham's remarks are on record and clearly demonstrate a hatred for Muslims and other minorities," the organization said in a statement. One government leader...

Or, to put it another way, is there such as thing as an unbelieving Believer? One of the great fallacies of Western Europe's multicultural fantasy is that the children of imported Musselmen will become less Muslim and that, eventually, their offspring will become more like their nominally Christian but in fact entirely secular hosts. Accordingly, the British and others now dealing with the consequences of their willfully ahistorical blindness regarding the true nature of Islam, have assumed that "radical" Muslims are the exception rather than the rule, and so have treated them as aberrational.This, however, flies in the face...

Britain's new Orwellian orthodoxy: only Islam embodies virtue. Lately I keep coming back to Britain. Across Western Europe in the last few years, national or regional governments have instituted full or partial bans on Muslim face coverings: no niqab or burka in French, Austrian, or Belgian public spaces, ditto in Bavarian schools, in various localities in Italy, in the canton of Ticino in Switzerland, and in certain public spaces in Barcelona. On Tuesday, after a thirteen-year effort by Geert Wilders, the Dutch Parliament finally approved a French-style ban. These bans may represent only a fraction of what needs to be...

London is well known for its ethnic diversity and sprawling multiculturalism. Just to give you an idea, native Brits are a minority in their country’s capital since 2012, and currently speaking, London’s mayor is a radical left-wing Muslim, hence the Londonistan pejorative. London’s mayor is a Pakistani ethnic raised from a working-class family, which means a devout Muslim and a Labor party aficionado (socialist in other words), and since he took over the city in 2016, London has become a hellhole. And I am not kidding either: Sadiq Khan’s policy of appeasement with regard to the Muslim “minority”’s crimes ended...

Nigel Farage today defended Donald Trump's decision to re-tweet Britain First insisting the 'liberal elite' had over-reacted. The ex-Ukip leader used an appearance on the BBC Andrew Marr Show to claim the reaction has been 'out of all proportion' to the offence. The President's decision to re-tweet three messages from the far right Britain First group has been widely condemned. The episode has triggered the worst public clashes between US and UK leaders in memory. Prime Minister Theresa May launched a rare direct attack on Mr Trump, branding him 'wrong' for his tweets - prompting a bizarre cross-Atlantic spat. The...

LONDON — The British revolt against President Trump swelled Thursday with Parliament members openly deriding him and Britain’s prime minister standing by her denunciations of Trump’s retweets of a fringe group’s anti-Muslim videos. Prime Minister Theresa May blasted Trump for crossing a line by posting the inflammatory videos on his Twitter page Wednesday — and then warning May to essentially mind her own business and focus on Islamist terrorism instead of him. But officials were careful to note that ties with the United States are stronger than the current flare-up with the White House. “It’s increasingly clear that any official...

Ground-breaking research shows six in 10 Muslim wives in England and Wales are not legally marriedWhen Rukhsana Noor completed her online dating profile, she thought she had taken her first step towards finding love. In reality, she had set off on a path that would lead her to a lengthy legal battle that would cost her hundreds of thousands of pounds. Ms Noor had many good things in her life: a university education, a professional career and a good salary, but she had always dreamt of having children. As a single woman, she, like many other British Muslims, was...
