Major UK Muslim Group Wallows in Anti-Semitism
Over the past four years I have been following the progress of the Muslim Public Affairs Committee UK. They have gone from strength to strength and are opening new offices across Britain. If you visit their site in April they are fuming about Zionists and “Zionazis” as if Great Britain were 90% Jewish. There are actually 260,000 Jews in Britain alongside some two million Muslims, one million Hindus, and roughly fifty-eight million Christians. MPACUK likes to claim responsibility for the defeat of two major female rising stars in Parliament, Lorna Fitzsimons and Oona King, and on their website in April they are urging their supporters to work to eliminate another forty “Zionist” MPs.
In December 2005 I decided to attend the Global Peace and Unity Event at the Excel Centre in Canary Wharf because it had been touted as a celebration of Islamic culture and food. What greeted me was a giant hall filled with some very angry young Muslims being whipped up by Micahel Mansfield QC, George Galloway MP, former Taliban hostage-turned-Islamist-activist Yvonne Ridley, and the retired cricketer Imran Khan. Keep in mind that this rally, sponsored by Western Union, the Metropolitan Police, and Emirates Airlines, occurred just five months after London’s Islamic terrorist attacks.
The British journalist Melanie Phillips published my account of the event on her website and the result was incendiary. MPACUK set up a “discussion” page about me and I received “How does it feel to be the world’s number one Islamophobe?” emails. I decided to join the discussion on MPACUK’s blog but was barred from entering a comment. To this day, I cannot communicate with them because they prohibit me from using their comments facility. This is the Muslim “public affairs” sector’s idea of promoting community cohesion. As a British citizen I find denial of my right to freely communicate inside my country of residence utterly appalling.
One of the complaints registered by MPACUK is how “underrepresented” Muslims are in the media, though there is frequent, nationally disseminated comment from Yasmin Alibhai-Brown, Inayat Bunglawala, Ahdaf Soueif, Ghada Karmi, Tariq Ali, Tariq Ramadan, Lord Ahmed (recently released from prison), Faisal “Israel Simply Has No Right to Exist” Bodi, the Muslim Council’s Muhammad Abdul Bari, and Sir Iqbal “Homosexuals Spread Diseases” Sacranie. MPACUK blocks non-Muslims like me from their discussion boards whilst bizarrely complaining they have no voice.
In January 2009 Douglas Murray’s Centre for Social Cohesion issued a report about Asghar Bukhari, head of MPACUK; the Centre felt his comments on Facebook were sufficient to incite violence. This was referred to the police. Bukhari was quoted: “Any Muslim who fights against Israel and dies is a martyr and will be granted paradise”; “There is no greater oppressor on this earth then [sic] the Zionists, who murder little children for sport.” He also commented that he had dealt with Zionists who had a “crooked mind.” Since his report Douglas Murray has been banned from chairing a debate on Islam by the London School of Economics “in the interest of public safety.” Hello? Who is the incendiary one here?
We keep on trying to be nice to people who, as shown by their stated aims and practices, are not nice in any way.
They are emboldened by what they see as a national weakness in the face of their demands. Well, perhaps they are right. We are being weak. In our effort to accommodate all views and all shades of opinion the muslims are taking the opportunity to shout loudest.
But what irks so many in the UK is that these aren’t just words. This is not some example of the use of free speech in a democracy. Above all there is no sense that all this is mere rhetoric. Islamofacists continually demonstrate a complete disregard for life and law and order, and have no problem drawing young males to their cause in order to export (and import) their hatreds.
Muslims ask for respect. But until they can show even a vague respect for others it is going to be a long time before they are seen as anything but a problem. It’s really hard to respect people who wish to convert and subvert a society that flawed though it is, offers far more than any alternative cooked up by Islam.
Good article about a vile bunch of people. That’s at least two “Number 1 Islamophobes”. Can’t these MPACUK people count?
President Obama, correctly stated in Turkey yesterday, that America is not at war with Islam. But it’s obvious that President Obama, nor his blind followers are aware that Islam is at war with America, Israel, and the West.
President Obama’s disciples like Chris Matthew of MSNBC, claim this is a very intelligent man. But he doesn’t act like it at times. It’s time for Obama to read the Koran. If he did then he just might realize that the leaders of Islam are out to convert the world to Islam. Either by peaceful means or by force.
Osama Bin Laden has clearly stated “that until the entire world is converted to the Muslim religion, his terror and his followers terror on the world will not cease.” I have written about this on my b log on MySpace many times. Dale A. Wilhite – Telluride, Colorado
Another great article by Carol Gould. Hope to read more from her.
Our president’s and policymakers’ clear assertion to the contrary, we are not engaged in a war with Islam. No a “contingency operation” but a war. And not against terrorism but Islam.
Religious warfare, terrorism, kidnap, beheading, duplicity and treaty treaty-breaking were the everyday practices and teachings of the pirate-prophet of the Arabs. Islam is the religion of hate.
Jews and Christians share a reverence for the Golden Rule. Muslims do not.
How darkly amusing that a tiny group of peaceful English Jews frightens the ordinary Briton more than millions of restive English Muslim not to mention th their brethren in their teeming millions at the gate.
Reminds you of the hold religion continues to maintain on the overtly anti-religious modern mind mind. Christianity and Islam, Jewish derivatives both, cannot overcome the shame of their sycophantic beginnings and slavishly imitative religious practices and traditions.
Ordinary Jews, yet loom large and conspiratorial in the hopelessly superstitious minds of the modern Christians. The Muslims, of course, require a few more centuries to achieve modernity.
So tell us again the foundation myth of the English. Of Arthur and Lancelot and the Knights of the round table. What was their quest? The golden fleece? No, that was Jason and the Argonauts.
King Arthur and his Knights were after the Holy Grail. The Passover kiddush goblet from which Joshua the Galilean drank the traditional four cups of wine during the Passover Seder that was his Last Supper.
The four cups of Passover wine and the unleavened Passover matzoh are the blood and flesh of St. Paul’s Eucharist.
A Jew named Joseph of Arimathia (Aram Naharaim of the Hebrew Bible) brought the Holy Grail to England. And thus the sceptered isle became home for the “New Israel.”
The ordinary Briton has long forgotten all these quaint myths. And he isn’t terribly religious to begin with. Not to worry. The Muslims he doesn’t fear and joins for anti-Jewish demonstrations will soon supply him a new set of myths.
The Jews in Germany, at the time Hitler took power, were less than 1% of the population, barely half a million.
But the Nazis inflated the so-called Jewish threat with propaganda and indoctrination. Some of the claims of the Nazis were pure fabrication, as there weren’t enough Jews in Germany to corroborate their claim. Hitler once said: If we did not have the Jew, we would have to invent him.
Evil mass movements, like the Nazis, and now Islam expansionism, must have a pivot of hate. Using this hate as a way of agitation, they keep the masses numb. Thus, the Castro regime loves the embargo, and Chavez would have to look for another scapegoat if the US did not exist.
CAIR is doing here the same thing that the Muslim Public Affair Committee UK does in Great Britain, finances often come from Saudi Arabia, that’s why so many people were troubled when a few days ago, Obama bowed so low when saluting the Saudi prince (or whatever he is).
I would expect that Obama would know the Koran much better than he knows the Bible.
I’m so tired of these people and the way they exploit children and innocents.
Such base people, can’t seem to find anything better to do in their own brief sojourns on Earth than rail against “Zionists” and long for martyrdom (hypocritically enough, it is often the martyrdom of those they’ve brainwashed, not themselves)
This has to be one of the most ignorant movements of all time, a source of picayune power for a whole cadre of self-designated religious leaders …Although the Koran repeatedly declares that God’s revelation is conclusive and sufficient guidance for Muslims and that there is no need for any supplementary legal authority in Islam, the traditional Muslim clergy defies this explicit divine assurance. They falsely convince their flock that they cannot be true believers without the hadith.
An interesting article in today’s Timesonline…
My persecution by the Muslim McCarthyites
(the just disrupted Easter plot in England was being put together by a lot of Pakistanis in the country on student visas…when oh when will “the world” get a cluel…)

My persecution by the Muslim McCarthyites
“Conversely, I challenge someone to find an Anglo-Jewish website that obsesses on ‘vermin’ Muslims.”
Why dont you start with Harry’s Place with its Islamophobic, racist, zionism supporters who are obssessed with demonising ALL muslims and Islam?
Marie Stockton:
Harry’s Place is critical of “Islamism”, that is political Islam. Some commenters, myself included, are highly critical of Islam. But nobody calls Muslims vermin – they would rightly be banned if they did.
Come on guys, this anti-semitism slur is getting old. If you want to attack mpac do it with some credibility. Shouting anti-semitism everytime a Muslims says the word Jew isn’t doing much for you and does an injustice to all those who have actully suffered from anti-semitism.
Aims and policies
MPACUK encourages Muslim participation in the mainstream British political process and has no political affiliation; in particular it encourages Muslims to participate in tactical voting against MPs who support policies which it considers not to be in Muslims’ interest. This can extend both to national issues such as civil liberties, Islamophobia and anti-terror legislation; and to foreign policy, including the 2003 invasion of Iraq or Israeli action in the Palestinian territories and Lebanon. It condemns Islamic extremists such as Omar Bakri Mohammed, and has criticised radical Islamist groups such as Hizb ut-Tahrir which reject Muslim participation in Western politics.
“David Irving claimed he was not antisemitic and was in fact being attacked by the powerful pro-Israeli lobby; in short, being smeared … I believed him, it’s as simple as that … I would not have supported anyone who is antisemitic.”[5] Bukhari told The Observer: “I condemn antisemitism as strongly as I condemn Zionism (in my opinion they are both racist ideologies). I also believe that anyone who denies the Holocaust is wrong (I don’t think they should be put behind bars for it though).
