UK watchdog: Islamic State planning terror attacks in Britain
LONDON - Islamic State militants are planning "indiscriminate attacks on innocent civilians" in Britain on a scale similar to those staged by the Irish Republican Army 40 years ago, the head of the country's new terrorism watchdog said.
In an interview with the Sunday Telegraph published on Sunday, Max Hill, the lawyer tasked with overseeing British laws on terrorism, said the militants were targeting cities and posed "an enormous ongoing risk which none of us can ignore."
"In terms of the threat that's represented, I think the intensity and the potential frequency of serious plot planning – with a view to indiscriminate attacks on innocent civilians of whatever race or color in metropolitan areas – represents an enormous ongoing risk that none of us can ignore," he said.
"So I think that there is undoubtedly significant ongoing risk which is at least as great as the threat to London in the 70s when the IRA were active on the mainland."
The IRA abandoned its armed struggle for an end to British control of Northern Ireland and unification with Ireland in a 1998 peace deal. More than 3,600 people were killed, including more than 1,000 members of the British security forces, during a sectarian conflict that began in the late 1960s.
British security officials have repeatedly said that Islamic State militants, who are losing ground in Iraq and Syria, will target Britain.
he is said to dwell in the castle of Kronborg, his beard grown down to the floor, and to sleep there until some date when Denmark is in mortal danger, at which time he will rise up and deliver the nation

Exclusive: PM May says Saudi saved UK from attacks
UK Prime Minister Theresa May confirmed that Britain will stand against any action by Iran that is threatening to the region, highlighting joint operations with the Gulf Cooperation Council in order to combat terrorism, she said in an exclusive interview with Al Arabiya News Channel.
During her joint meeting with the leaders of the GCC in Manama, on Wednesday, PM May said: “There is information provided by Saudi Arabia that has saved Britain from terrorist operations, and there are opportunities we must use with our friends in the Gulf …GCC security is also UK security”
Al Arabiya will air on Wednesday an exclusive interview with the British Prime Minister. The interview that was conducted by Turki al-Dakhil is the first for the British PM on an Arab satellite channel since she took office.
Read the full transcript below:
Al Arabiya News' Turki al-Dakhil
“Prime Minister Theresa May, thank you so much for giving us time for this interview. I’ll start - we are in Bahrain, where you are guest of honor at the GCC Summit. What is your message to the GCC leaders?”
Prime Minister Theresa May Theresa May
“Well, first of all, I’m very privileged to have been invited to address the GCC Summit. I believe I’m the first British Prime Minister Theresa May to be - have been invited to do this, and I think it’s a symbol of the longstanding and very good relations that the United Kingdom has with the GCC states. And my message in coming here is that I want to build on that relationship for the future. I think there are many areas in which we can work together to our mutual interest and our mutual benefit. That’s on trade and prosperity, but also on security. We recognize the importance of security here. I think that Gulf security is our security, Gulf prosperity is our prosperity, and I’m looking forward to working with the Gulf states to build on the historic relationships we have.”
Turki Al-Dakhil
“Interesting. As well, talking about security, Prime Minister Theresa May, Bahrain and other GCC countries feel Iran is interfering and it is a farce. Do you share, Prime Minister Theresa May, the same concern with them?”
Theresa May
“We’re very clear-eyed about Iran, and I share concerns about their malign activities. Malign involvement in a number of parts of the region. I think it’s important that we work with the Gulf states on ensuring the stability and security of the region. We have now in - are establishing here in Bahrain the first permanent military presence for the United Kingdom east of Suez since 1971. I think it’s important, an important symbol of the significance that we feel of the security of this region. Of course, I - today I was on our ship HMS Ocean, which is here, has been working to help to secure the stability and the security of the region.”
Turki Al-Dakhil
“But Prime Minister Theresa May, do you see Iran stopping its aggressive behavior, if we can say?”
Theresa May
“Well, obviously some action has already been taken in relation to Iran. The deal that has been struck in relation to the nuclear deal, such that Iran is not able to access a nuclear weapon, is important. But I think it’s important that we continue to challenge Iran’s malign activities in other areas too. That’s what we are continuing to do as the UK. And - but also, it’s important to work with the Gulf states to ensure their security. And to do that, as I say, we have a physical military presence here, which I think is an important part of that.”
Turki Al-Dakhil
“Okay Prime Minister Theresa May, many people in the GCC, normal people, and even leaders, feel that the UK has turned its back on its allies and Iran has benefited from that. What is your view, Prime Minister Theresa May?”
Theresa May
“No, the UK continues to have good, strong relations with the Gulf and with the Gulf states, but I want to build on those for the future. The Gulf states are our strategic partner - Iran is not. It’s important that we build on the relationships we have with the Gulf states. I think that is - can be done in a number of areas. Yes, on security, but also on the prosperity agenda, on looking at the trade relationships that we can build on. We already see significant exports from the UK into the Gulf states, and significant investment from the Gulf states in the UK. I want to take that further.”
Turki Al-Dakhil
“But do you feel this feeling while you are sitting with the leaders in the GCC?”
Theresa May
“I feel a very positive approach from the leaders in the GCC, and a recognition that the UK and the Gulf states have done much together in the past. But this isn’t just about resting on our past relationship - it’s about saying: ‘How can we work together for the future? How can we work together to ensure the security and prosperity both of the Gulf, but also the UK?’”
Turki Al-Dakhil
“Interesting. Let’s change, if you don’t mind, to the - to other subject - let’s go to Europe. How do you see Britain in the world after Brexit, Prime Minister Theresa May?”
Theresa May
“Well, once we leave the European Union, I want to see Britain…”
Turki Al-Dakhil
“Well, when that will happen?”
Theresa May
“Well, it will - well, there is some process to go through first. We have to formally trigger the formal negotiations. I expect to trigger the negotiations by the end of March next year, and then there is a process which can be up to two years, as set forward in the relevant European treaty, for those negotiations to take place. When we leave the European Union, the UK will be free to negotiate, to have set up trade arrangements around the world.
“But I want to see the UK, having taken this decision to leave the European Union, as a confident, positive, outward-looking country. I want us to be a global leader in free trade, I think it’s very important for us to be out there arguing for the benefits, economic benefits, of free trade. I want to see us building on our alliances around the whole world. I also want to see us negotiating the right deal for the UK with the European Union, because we want to continue to have good relations. We’re leaving the EU - we’re not leaving Europe.”
Turki Al-Dakhil
“Interesting. One last question, Prime Minister Theresa May, if I may. Well, my viewers are curious to know who Theresa May is. My question: what is your message to Arab world about yourself?”
Theresa May
“I hope that people will see me as a dependable partner, and somebody who we - who can - they can work with to ensure prosperity and security here in the Gulf region, but also in the United Kingdom.”
Turki Al-Dakhil
“So this is your message you are trying to deliver to our people?”
Theresa May
“Indeed, and I look forward to the discussions I’m having at the GCC Summit, and also to the individual discussions that I’ll be having with the Gulf states’ leaders to look at the ways in which we can take our relationship forward. I want the Gulf states to see the UK as that dependable partner for the future.”
Turki Al-Dakhil
“Thank you so much, Prime Minister Theresa May, for this time. I really enjoyed interviewing you.”
Theresa May
“Thank you.”
Turki Al-Dakhil
“Thank you. I’ll ask about Arab and Muslim people. They are afraid of a lot of what happened in Europe. Do you have - share the same concern about UK after Brexit?”
Theresa May
“In terms of the United Kingdom, I’ve been giving a very simple message to people, that I want my time as Prime Minister Theresa May, I want my government, to be a government that works for everyone across the United Kingdom. I want the United Kingdom to be a great meritocracy, where people can get on and be the best that they want to be. And where what matters is not where you’ve come from or who your parents were, but actually, your own efforts and your own talents. Working for everyone: that’s the message, that’s what I will be doing in the UK.”
Turki Al-Dakhil
“Even after Brexit?”
Theresa May
“After Brexit, the UK will still be the UK. Life will be different, but we will be that confident, global, outward-looking country. We’ll maintain our good relations with Europe, but I want to ensure that at all times, we have a government and a country that works for everyone.”
Turki Al-Dakhil
“In which way do you think life will be different?”
Theresa May
“Well, we’ll no longer be a member of the European Union. That means we’ll be able to negotiate free-trade deals with other countries around the world. But I still want to get the right deal for the UK with the European Union, so that we can - and maintain those good relations with the European Union. It’s in the UK’s interest to see a strong EU and to maintain good relations with it.”
Turki Al-Dakhil
“Interesting. Thank you so much.”
Theresa May
“Thank you.”

Two of Three British Muslims Will NOT Report Terrorist Activity
The headline might shock some people but I think it's pretty much in line with the 66% to 80% of the Muslims who truly believe they are in countries to dominate, to destroy and to conquer. So, if you are a Muslim in Britain and you understand Mohammed's teaching of conquering all infidel lands then WHY WOULD YOU REPORT the efforts of your brothers to follow Mo's commands?
The story comes from The Times via The Religion of Peace.

Survey reveals chasm between Muslim values and rest of UK
Only one in three British Muslims would tip off the police if they believed that somebody close to them had become involved with terrorist sympathisers, a poll has revealed.
More than 100,000 British Muslims sympathise with suicide bombers and people who commit other terrorist acts, the survey suggests.
The findings are further evidence that the government’s key anti-radicalisation programme, Prevent, is failing to provide intelligence to the police from Muslim groups.
The Times revealed in December that less than a tenth of extremism tip-offs were coming directly from the Muslim community or faith leaders.

Asian sex abusers to be stripped of UK citizenship and deported
Okay, for those unfamiliar with European ways, the term "Asian" in the blog post title above refers to "Muslims" - so you may ask, "why don't they just say Muslims?" - well, the answer to that is political correctness and multiculturalism rule Europe and thus the all inclusive "Asian" or "Asians" is used.
But anyway, we best follow the result of this story because I'll believe it ONLY when I see it.

Asian sex abusers to be stripped of UK citizenship and deported
Asian-born sex abusers will be stripped of their UK citizenship and deported at the end of their sentences under a new Home Office drive, The Independent can reveal.
Theresa May, the Home Secretary, is planning to significantly increase her department's use of legal powers that allow serious criminals with dual nationality to have their British citizenship withdrawn, Whitehall sources say.
Until now, the powers have predominately been used to remove the UK passports of terrorists and terrorist sympathisers.
But senior department sources told The Independent that - in response to the series of Asian sex abuse gangs uncovered in towns across the country in recent years - there is likely to be an "acceleration of passport strike-outs and potential deportations".
British-Pakistani members of the gang of six men and women from Rotherham who were convicted on Wednesday of offences including rape, forced prostitution, indecent assault and false imprisonment are expected to face action to strip them of their UK citizenship after they are sentenced today. Legal proceedings seeking their potential deportation to Pakistan are likely to follow.
The abuse of predominantly white girls by networks of Asian men has led to prosecutions across the North of England and the Midlands. More trials are imminent.
David Greenwood, head of the child abuse department at Switalskis solicitors in Sheffield, who represents almost 60 victims subjected to sexual abuse by the Rotherham gang between 1996 and 2012, said: "This trial is just the first of many and is the tip of a very big iceberg. From the work I have done, it appears that gangs of Asian men have been operating to sexually abuse young white girls in Rotherham, Oxford, Keighley, Bradford and Rochdale."
Although amendments to British nationality laws in 2014 making it easier to strip dual nationals of citizenship were primarily aimed at terrorists who could undermine the UK's security, the Home Office is now using the same legal sanctions to target serious crime, including sex abuse.
In a sign of the department's new approach, the Home Office recently took legal action against the British-Pakistani ringleader and members of a child sex gang in Rochdale who were convicted in 2012. A special immigration tribunal in Manchester has just completed hearing appeals against Ms May's decision to end their British citizenship and begin deportation proceedings.
Vinesh Mandalia, counsel for the Home Office at the tribunal, told the hearing that the decision by Home Secretary to deprive the men of their British citizenships was based on the need to express "society's condemnation of those who have gained the benefits and privileges of British citizenship, but go on to become involved in serious organised crime". The tribunal will deliver its verdict next month.
One Whitehall legal adviser said: "There are no limits. It is not just potential terrorists who face losing their UK citizenship. Those involved in serious or organised crime, and who hold dual nationality, can expect similar justice."
Use of the enhanced deportation powers in 2014 led to a British-born man and his three sons being stripped of their British citizenship because of alleged terrorism links.
In another case, a man holding joint Afghanistan-British citizenship, was stripped of his UK passport and left stranded in Pakistan after being accused of involvement in Islamist extremism.
Since 2000, an estimated 37 people have had their British citizenship revoked. Their nationalities include: Russian, Somalia, Yemeni, Australian, Pakistani, Afghan, Albanian, Egyptian, Lebanese, Sudanese, Vietnamese, Iranian, Iraqi and Nigerian. The individuals held British passports from birth, or by application.
It is much more difficult to strip UK nationality from foreigners who are not recognised as a citizen of any other country, as this would render them stateless.
Human rights campaigners have criticised the extended powers used by the Home Secretary to withdraw British citizenship and enforce deportations as a form of "medieval exile".
There has also been criticism that in many of the terrorism-related cases, those who face losing their British citizenship or their legal representatives will not be shown the evidence against them.
The Home Office has not yet responded to a request from The Independent for comment.

‘This Is For Syria’ Knife-Wielding London Tube Attacker Slashes Man’s Throat
Don't look now but another Muslim in the world must have gotten himself "radicalized" (wait for the sound of gasps). This time the blood-letting happens in the U.K.
The story comes from Breitbart/London.
‘This Is For Syria’ Knife-Wielding London Tube Attacker Slashes Man’s Throat
A knife-wielding attacker has reportedly slashed a man’s throat, leaving him seriously injured, and injured two others at a Tube station in East London. The attacker’s actions and words, similar to those of one of the Paris terrorist attackers, comes just days after Britain began bombing raids over the war torn country.
Various news agencies are now reporting that the man, who was unsuccessful in killing anyone despite shouting, “all of your blood will be spilled” during the attack tonight in London, is now in police custody.
The Counter-Terrorism Command of London’s Metropolitan Police have confirmed they are treating the attack as a terrorist incident.
The Mail reports: “After slashing his victim’s throat, the suspect threatened several other passengers before being confronted by a number of un-armed police officers.
“The officers ordered the suspect to drop his weapon, who continued to wave the large knife.
After refusing, police tried to control the man, who appears in the video to have attacked another member of the public while the unarmed police tried to subdue him. Police then tried to Tazer the man, and he failed to react for a few minutes. After he fell to the ground, police were able to arrest him.
Scotland Yard issued a statement: “Police were called at 19:06hrs on Saturday, 5 December, to reports of a stabbing at Leytonstone underground station. The male suspect was reportedly threatening other people with a knife.
“Met officers attended the scene. A man was arrested at 19:14hrs and taken to an east London police station where he remains in custody. A Taser was discharged by one of the Met officers.
“Officers from British Transport Police are now dealing with the incident at the scene. We are aware of one man having sustained serious stab injuries. We await details of any other injuries.”
Speaking in the wake of the stabbing, UKIP London Mayoral candidate Peter Whittle told Breitbart London: “It is shocking and terrible to witness such an apparently random attack as this on the streets of London. If, as has been reported , the attacker cried ‘this is for Syria ‘, before seriously injuring a member of the public , it is a matter of the gravest concern.”

French Police Fail In Trying To Keep Illegal Immigration Surge Into the UK
Honestly, I had not heard of this siege by French immigrants trying to jump trains headed for Britain through the Channel Tunnel but then I saw this photo from above and it all made sense - just look at the "European way" of handling such a crisis - some moron uniformed officer standing there with pepper spray and others trying to tackle an illegal. Not a gun in sight, no heavy armor in sight, nope...nothing that would tell a mob you better not try it. You see, if the French authorities really wanted to stop this it might "offend" one of these rioters and hooligans. Can't have that, right?
The story comes from the Daily Mail.
The story comes from the Daily Mail.
Calais' thin blue line: Helpless French police are over-run as hundreds more migrants storm Channel Tunnel declaring 'it's England or death' - so when will Cameron finally take action?
David Cameron was today accused of failing to get a grip on the Calais crisis and leaving it to the French as panicked Gendarmerie were again overwhelmed by hundreds of desperate migrants who laid siege to the Channel Tunnel for the third night running.
Around 4,000 people have stormed fences and desperately tried to clamber on trains bound for Kent in the past three days - a deadly gamble that has allowed at least 150 to get to Britain but also claimed the lives of nine people.
The deepening crisis has led to 120 French riot police being called up to help the 250 uniformed officers already there but critics say that this is nowhere near enough and believe David Cameron must now send British troops.
Migrants are still easily breaching the 15 mile fence surrounding the Channel Tunnel and jumping on to moving high speed trains or trying to get in or under lorries queuing to get on trains. Outside others will try to clamber on to vehicles heading to the nearby ferry port.
Senior MPs, backed by hauliers, have demanded the British Army should be sent in to restore order because the French authorities had 'lost control', David Cameron today blamed the crisis at Calais on the 'swarm of people' crossing the Mediterranean, and backed the French to deal with it.
But Labour's shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper said the Prime Minister's attempts at diplomacy with the French government 'isn't working' and added: 'Still not enough is being done to stop a difficult situation becoming desperate'.
Speaking in Vietnam this morning the Prime Minister vowed to do 'everything we can' to stop people's holidays been disrupted by the chaos, adding: 'This is very testing, I accept that, because you have got a swarm of people coming across the Mediterranean, seeking a better life, wanting to come to Britain because Britain has got jobs, it's got a growing economy, it's an incredible place to live.

British Judge STUNNED By Extent of Child Abuse by Muslims in England - Media Says NOTHING About Muslim Element
So I read the title of the article below at Times of India and I'm thinking...."this outta be good...the filthy Pakistani Muslim immigrants with their sex grooming and pedophilia are finally getting outted big time"....but then I read the article and I ask you - show me ONE word in that article that says "Muslim" or "Islamic" or even "immigrant."
Muslims killing Americans is "workplace violence."
Muslims raping and pimping English girls is described as a country problem, not a problem of the Islamic minority.
One in 20 children in the UK have fallen victim and these assholes without a spine will NOT even reveal who the criminals are.
How do these people sleep at night?
P.s. maybe this judge wouldn't be so damned shocked if the media in the country actually reported WHO did these crimes and the police didn't let them get away with it. By the way, don't blame this horseshit, chickenshit journalism on Times of India - this is an AP article.

UK stunned by scale of child sex abuse: Judge
LONDON: A judge says Britain has been stunned by revelations about child sexual abuse, warning that the true scale of the crime has been underestimated and one in 20 children may have been a victim.
Justice Lowell Goddard opened a public inquiry into decades of abuse on Thursday, vowing that "no one, no matter how apparently powerful, will be allowed to obstruct our inquiries."
In the past few years, revelations of abuse have implicated taxi drivers, entertainers, clergy, senior politicians and others. There have been claims that police failed to investigate allegations of abuse for decades.
Goddard, a New Zealand judge, was appointed earlier this year to head an inquiry into how public agencies — including government bodies, police, hospitals, churches and the BBC — handled child-abuse allegations.

Four British Muslim Men Sentenced For TWENTY Sexual Assaults On 14 Year Old Girl
Yet another underage British girl has fallen to the Islamic scourge in Britain - four Muslim men have been convicted of 20 sexual offenses against a 14 year old British girl. 14 years old. How many victims of Islam will the West allow. Each and every one of these four men should be hanged in the public square - not by a rope but the large intestine of a hog.

Another Muslim Grooming Gang Found Guilty
Another bunch of evil Muslim paedophiles found guilty of 26 sex charges against one schoolgirl. Again this grooming gang case had escaped the media’s attention as they pick and choose what they report for community cohesion reasons. There is no place for political correctness or any kind of Muslim pandering when it comes to child abuse. The public have a right to be informed about it.
Jail For Four Men Who Sexually Attacked Girl 20 Times
5:53am 24th April 2014
(Updated 6:14am 24th April 2014)
Four Buckinghamshire men have been found guilty of twenty sex offences against one girl.
The 14-year-old was forced to take part in sexual acts and have sex a number of times between December 2011 and July 2012.
During their three week trial, Nazakat Mahmood, Ghulfaraz Nawaz, Omar Sharif and Haroon Rauf told Reading Crown Court that they thought she was 17.
But after Mahmood, Nawaz and Rauf were arrested, Sharif contacted the girl and said he’d undermine her statement.
He then blackmailed her into having sex with him.
Investigating officer Det Con Natalie Golding from Aylesbury Major Crime said:
“This was abuse of a young vulnerable girl in the most horrific way.
“All four men used this girl and then, when she had the courage to come to police, they denied the offences and continued to deny them.
“I want to thank the victim here for her bravery in coming forward and helping us to put these men behind bars.
“Hopefully this will go some way to showing other victims of sexual offences that we will listen to you and we will take you seriously.”
The full convictions are:
Nazakat Mahmood, aged 28, of Batchelors Way, Chesham was convicted of seven counts of sexual activity with a child and two counts of causing or inciting a child to engage in sexual activity.

British MPs Condemn Alleged Islamist School Takeover Plot
It's almost like the Muslims emigrated to Britain to make it THEIRS, isn't it? :wink:
The story comes from Family Security Matters.

British MPs Condemn Alleged Islamist School Takeover Plot
An alleged plot by Muslim extremists to subvert state schools in Birmingham, England and run them according to a rigid interpretation of Islam has angered members of the British Parliament.
A purported letter which surfaced in March detailed a plot to take over the schools, using dirty tricks to drive out headmasters and replace their staffs with people who supported the plot. Britain's Office for Standards in Education, Children's Services and Skills (Ofsted) is investigating the rumored plot and plans to release a report in May.
Tahir Alam, one of the alleged plotters, denounced the letter as "a fabrication" and the called the allegations about the plot a "witch hunt" motivated by "Islamophobia."
Khalid Mahmoud, a Muslim Labour MP who represents Birmingham charged that "a small group of individuals" was trying to change the ethos of the schools under the cloak of secrecy. Mahmoud also claimed that that radical Salafists were attempting to impose their views on the majority of the city's Muslims.
A mother of one student who attends an affected school told the Daily Express newspaper that her daughter had been harassed by older boys who were denouncing girls who refused to wear veils and stay separate from the boys.
"My daughter tried to bring in an Easter egg for a friend and one boy grabbed it and smashed it against a wall," the mother said. "Another girl of about 11 brought in a little Easter bunny toy that she wanted to show her friends. They grabbed that off her too."
Such reports disturbed former British Foreign Minister Jack Straw, who said Muslim school leaders "must respect British values." He denounced what he called an effort to proselytize Islam in "an exclusive way and claim that those who are not of the Muslim faith are infidel and have fewer rights."
The Park View Educational Trust that runs the schools that have come under scrutiny said the reports have generated hate mail and were "causing unwarranted and unnecessary alarm" among affected families.
A senior source with the U.K.'s Department of Education told the Sunday Telegraph that an "overlapping web of connections" has been discovered and that the driving force appeared to be "explicitly Islamist."
The Ofsted reports are likely to result in Alam's ouster as chairman of the Park View Educational Trust and as chairman of Park View Academy - one of the affected schools, according to the Telegraph.
A separate Department of Education report found that girls at Park View and Golden Hillock, a sister school, were forced to sit in the back of the class, while Christian students at Golden Hillock were left to "teach themselves." An al-Qaida supporter was invited to speak at Park View.
Members of Birmingham's city council were informed of these problems in six months ago but took no action until the letter became public.

Muslim Brotherhood Turns Tail and Readies To Run From New British Headquarters
If you look back at it all...probably the worst thing that could have ever happened to the Muslim Brotherhood as an international organization was its rise to power in Egypt under Morsi - what happened at that moment in time was that this clandestine, stealth-type kind of terrorist group was introduced formally to the world and the light of day has not been kind to it. Don't get me wrong - they are formidable and will continue to be so especially since they have the full cooperation of the Hussein Obama administration but some world leaders are waking the hell up.

Muslim Brotherhood Flees London After British PM Launches Investigation
The Muslim Brotherhood is reported to be fleeing its recently established headquarters in London following the announcement of an investigation into their activities by Prime Minister David Cameron.
A report in the Daily Mail makes mention of the fact in addition to former Prime Minister Tony Blair's foundation being linked to the Islamist group, the newly established London HQ of the group it set to be abandoned in favour of a base in Graz, Austria.
The Muslim Brotherhood's new international office in London, which was also reported to be serving as their new global headquarters after a brutal crackdown on the group in Egypt, was said to be above an old, disused kebab shop in the north-west London area of Cricklewood.
Earlier this month Prime Minister David Cameron announced that he was launching a formal investigation into the Brotherhood's activities in the United Kingdom - a situation that caused palpable stress to Brotherhood members in London. Some responded by threatening legal action against the British government, while other statements claimed that the group would work transparently to prove their non-violent motivations.
Many, including non-Brotherhood figures, have suggested that the investigation was launched under pressure by the government of Saudi Arabia, which Britain has recently negotiated sizeable weapons contracts with. The Saudi government itself banned the Muslim Brotherhood last month, and the lead investigator on Cameron's taskforce is the former UK Ambassador to Riyadh.
Now it appears that instead of working openly with the British government's investgation, the group has decided to flee yet another country following its downfall in Egypt. Graz is Austria's second largest city. The Global Muslim Brotherhood Watch website notes: "The choice of Graz as the location for a Muslim Brotherhood headquarters may seem odd to some but as a report on the history of the US Muslim Brotherhood has noted, self-described Brotherhood “Foreign Minister” Youssef Nada and the late US Muslim Brotherhood leader Ahmed Elkadi were both living in Graz in the 1960s. In addition, European Muslim Brotherhood leader Ayman Aly, formerly a top advisor to deposed Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi, had been a long-time resident of Graz."

Islam is as British as the Gray Sky of London
Pray for Britain.
From Israel National News.
From Israel National News.
Op-Ed: Islam is as British as the Gray Sky of London
These words were uttered by a London Alderman. Sheer numbers of Muslims weak British backbones and the desire for Arab investments are turning Britain into something unknown.
“Islam is British like grey sky”
In 1215, Britain enacted the “Magna Charta Libertatum”. It is the basis of the UK legal system which protects individual rights.
800 years later, for the first time, that glorious legal system is changing face. It is now an experiment unique in the world, the hybridation of the Magna Charta and Islam. This is not Londonstan or Islamisation, the multicultural ghettos or threats, but Islam injected into the most important sectors of the country’s government: law, education and finance.
Given the high rate of Islamic presence in England, sharia, or Islamic law, will now be used by notaries and lawyers. The initiative comes from the Law Society. Baroness Cox, a member of the House of Lords who has always been engaged in campaigns for the protection of women against discrimination, asserts emphatically that these latest developments “would turn suffragettes in their graves”.
Sharia in the UK has become so powerful that 85 Islamic courts in the country operate daily in familial disputes. The advent of this parallel system has been made possible thanks to the British Arbitration Act and the Alternative Dispute Resolution. These courts, it must be stressed, are based on the rejection of the principle of the inviolability of human rights.
The main Islamic courts are located in London, Birmingham, Bradford, Manchester and Nuneaton, the very hearts of the great British Muslim community. The first of these courts was established in 1982 in east London under the leadership of Suhaib Hasan, a prominent member of the European Council for Fatwa, the organization headed by Youssef Qaradawi, spiritual leader of the Muslim Brotherhood.
These courts formalize the “talaq”, the Islamic repudiation of a wife by her husband. Baroness Sayeeda Warsi, the Conservative leader of the Islamic faith, calls it “apartheid”.
Meanwhile, four departments of the government (Labor and Pensions, Treasury , Revenue and Customs, Ministry of the Interior) have recognized polygamy. Although the practice is illegal in England and Wales since 1604, the polygamous Muslims in the UK benefit from social privileges and are recognized by the public authorities.
One of the highest UK Justices, Sir James Munby as well as Rowan Williams, the former Archbishop of Canterbury, and the former Chief Justice, Lord Phillips, all are open to the use of Sharia in the UK legal system.
Islamic law is also advancing in public universities. The new guidelines of the university, under the item “External speakers in higher education institutions” prepared by the Committee on Universities, declared legitimate the Islamic fundamentalist campaign to separate women and men during university events. Many religious Jews also separate men and women at their events, but they have no plans to impose their way of life on others the way Muslims do.
A new system of “Sharia-compliant” student loans has also just be launched to allow Muslim students to go to university. The initiative comes from David Willetts, the Universities Minister.
A new report, entitled, “Easy Meat: Multiculturalism, Islam and Child Sex Slavery”, also shows how officials in England and Wales were aware of Islamic child grooming, the process by which predators befriend and build trust with children in order to prepare them for sexual abuse by Muslim gangs. This has been going on since at least 1988. Why was it not stopped? Call it “cultural sensitivity”.
Last December, Prime Minister David Cameron, speaking at the World Islamic Economic Forum, launched the candidacy of London to vie for the title “capital of Islamic finance in the West”,with the announcement of the first Islamic bond, or “sukuk”, issued by a non-Muslim country.
The British government began to provide workers with Islamically correct pension funds. The Islamic Bank of Britain, which operates in accordance with Sharia, doesn’t invest in the tobacco and alcohol industries, or worse, pornography (Never mind child grooming and similar Islamist activities).
Even the London Stock Exchange is preparing an Islamic index “to facilitate the identification of Sharia based investments”.
Because as the former mayor of the City Alderman Roger Gifford said, “Islamic finance should be as British as fish and chips and the gray sky of London”.
One day, when landing at Heathrow airport, we will wonder whether the UK is still Winston Churchill’s country or whether it has become a surreal and ridiculous mix of Sharia and Spice Girls.

Another British Failure In Dealing With Muslims and Terror
The British government is simply hellbent on committing suicide and leaving the land for the Muslims. How many things can one group of people get wrong, over and over again?
The story comes from The Clarion Project.
The story comes from The Clarion Project.
Failed Strategy: UK Funding Extremists to Stop Terror
The gov't has failed to see that these extremists have been proven to be the impetus for terrorism perpetrated by their followers.
The progression from being a radical to being a terrorist has been referred to as the extremism "conveyor belt." Although the government has acknowledged the fundamental role of so-called "non-violent" or "soft Islamist" extremists in this progression, taxpayers continue to fund extremist groups.
Michael Adebowale, one of the two British jihadists found guilty of murdering soldier Lee Rigby near London's Woolwich barracks in May 2013, has recently attributed his radicalization to Islamic preacher Sheikh Khalid Yasin.
According to the Daily Mirror newspaper, Adebowale, who refused to give evidence during his trial, stated that he converted to Islam after listening to cleric Sheikh Khalid Yasin's lectures, which he said taught him "the purpose of life."
Yasin, an American-born Islamic preacher, claims Christians and Jews are "kuffar" [infidels] and their beliefs are "filth." Yasin has called for the killing of homosexuals and claims that "Christian groups" have deliberately infected Africans with the AIDS virus. He further adds that the Koran gives men permission to beat women.
Adebowale is not the first violent extremist to name Yasin as his muse. In 2011, Khalid Yasin was invited by three men, later convicted of inciting terrorism, to address a meeting of young Muslims in Manchester.
While Yasin's views are rejected by many, he is by no means a pariah figure. In February 2011, the BBC interviewed Yasin for a documentary on Dutch politician Geert Wilders. The program introduced the Sheikh as a "moderate" preacher "engaged in de-radicalising youth."
It seems to be self-proclaimed "moderate" organizations and mosques that are involved in the radicalization of young Muslim men. In May 2013, The Daily Telegraph reported:
[Adebowale's] mother was advised by a neighbour to take him to the head of the Woolwich mosque for spiritual guidance. He was converted to Islam by the head Imam, and taken for weeks of "further training" at a centre near Cambridge. When he returned, however, he was even more "radicalised" and his mother could no longer "get through to him".
In 2010, a Freedom of Information request revealed that, since 2007, the local Government had provided the very same Woolwich Mosque, also known as the Greenwich Islamic Centre, with a public grant of £62,500, supposedly to counteract violent extremism.
The media's curious habit of separating extremist preachers from the very terrorists they appear to have inspired has previously been examined; journalists and politicians, however, seem unable to accept that some Islamist groups might say one thing in public but promote a very different thing behind closed doors.
The Muslim Association of Britain, for instance, responded to the Woolwich killing by stating that they "deplored the horrific attack, murder and mutilation upon an off-duty soldier ... They deserve punishment with the full force of the law."
The president of the Muslim Association of Britain, however, has endorsed the killing of troops in Israel and Iraq; and Dr. Azzam Tamimi, another senior member of the Association, has expressed his desire to become a suicide bomber.
Angel Rabasa, a political scientist at the RAND Corporation, has observed:
"In our own studies of radical recruitment in the Middle East, we found that individuals recruited into Salafi or Muslim Brotherhood groups decide at some point that their mentors are not Islamic enough and move on to even more extreme and violent groups. This progression from religious radicalism to violent extremism is made possible by the absence of firewalls between mainstream Islam and radicals and violent extremists. Violent extremists can derive scriptural justifications for their actions."
Woolwich terrorist Adebowale also attended sessions at the Glyndon Community Centre, where another extremist, Usman Ali, presented sessions. Ali had previously used the Woolwich Mosque to show children videos of the 9/11 attacks while chanting: "God is great." The local government authority owns the Glyndon Community Centre, and the charity that manages the centre is largely taxpayer-funded.
Ali was a member of the centre's managing committee the same year that the council provided a grant of £137,000. Ali was later employed by a local public hospital as the official Muslim chaplain.
The individuals attached to the radicalization of the Woolwich killers were not unabashed advocates of terrorism, but so-called "soft Islamists" -- afforded money and responsibility by the government in the vain hope that "non-violent" Islamism would temper violent Islamism.
This process seems also to have occurred, for instance, to Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the failed "underwear bomber," who attempted to detonate an explosive device he was wearing on Northwest Airlines 253 on December 25, 2009.
Years earlier, Abdulmutallab had been a student at University College London, where he was president of the Islamic Society. After the bomb failed to detonate, he told his arresting FBI officers in Detroit that he was seeking martyrdom for the glory of al-Qaeda. At the time of his arrest, he was the fourth president of a London student Islamic society to attempt an act of terrorism in three years.
While Abdulmutallab was in charge of his university's Islamic society, he did not invite barefaced extremists involved with violent acts to address students; instead, he invited dozens of popular, well-known British Islamist preachers, who still frequently speak on university campuses, share platforms with British politicians and are frequently invited by the media to give comment on "moderate" Islam.
These preachers included: Murtaza Khan, who claims women who use perfume should be flogged; Abdurraheem Green, who has spoken of a "Jewish stench" and says it is permissible to beat women to "bring them to goodness;" Haitham Al-Haddad, who describes Jews as "pigs and apes;" and Yasir Qadhi, who claims the Holocaust is a hoax and has said: "Why are Jews studying Islam? There is a reason, not that they want to help us, they want to destroy us."
By Abdulmutallab's own admission, it was these "non-violent" Islamist preachers who radicalized him. In 2008, in a short autobiography, he cited the influence of Haitham al-Haddad. The same year, Abdulmutallab had attended seminars organized by the Al Maghrib Institute in both London and Houston. The Institute's founder, Muhammad Al Shareef, has written a paper entitled, "Why the Jews Were Cursed" -- in which he claims that Jews control the media and were responsible for the murder of prophets. A number of the Institute's staff, described as extremist preachers, frequently speak on platforms provided by British Muslim groups.
In 2011, Prime Minister David Cameron acknowledged the problem of "the conveyor belt," during a much-discussed speech in Munich, and signalled that the government's approach would change:
"As evidence emerges about the backgrounds of those convicted of terrorist offences, it is clear that many of them were initially influenced by what some have called 'non-violent extremists', and they then took those radical beliefs to the next level by embracing violence. ... Some organisations that seek to present themselves as a gateway to the Muslim community are showered with public money despite doing little to combat extremism. As others have observed, this is like turning to a right-wing fascist party to fight a violent white supremacist movement."
Following this testimony, however, taxpayer-subsidised extremism did not meet a sudden end. Since Cameron's Munich speech, for example, the East London Mosque, has received at least £150,000 of taxpayers' money. In December 2013, the East London Mosque invited Shakeel Begg, who describes jihad as "the greatest of deeds," to speak at the institution.
Moreover, in 2012 – after the Prime Minister's Munich speech and the year in which £150,000 of public grants were provided – one invited speaker at the Mosque was Saad al-Beraik, a "prominent [Saudi] government official cleric," who refers to Jews as "monkeys" and has said: "Muslim brothers in Palestine, do not have any mercy neither compassion on the Jews, their blood, their money, their flesh. Their women are yours to take, legitimately. God made them yours. Why don't you enslave their women? Why don't you wage jihad? Why don't you pillage them?"
The greatest obstacle remains the failure of government, media and academia to accept that some "moderate" Islamists are frequently the cause and Adebowale merely the symptom. Policy makers and academics, however, continue to insist that "non-violent" Islamists should be part of the fight against radicalization.
Several months after the Prime Minister's Munich speech in 2011, Lord Carlile published his review of the government's counter-terror program, a report that further affirmed the importance of countering "non-violent" extremists. Nonetheless, since the review was published, even though official funding from the government's counter-terror program has dried up, taxpayer money continues to find its way into the pockets of extremist Islamist groups through other means, such as taxpayer-funded interfaith programmes and publicly-funded faith schools.
The author and political commentator Douglas Murray has noted that the failure properly to confront the danger presented by "non-violent" extremism is primarily a political one:
Shortly after Mr. Cameron's [Munich] speech, the Liberal Democrat leader (and Deputy Prime Minister) Nick Clegg gave an almost exactly opposite speech in Luton. He argued, among other things, the importance of engagement with nonviolent extremists.
Academia, too, seems blind to the problem: the inquiry set up by the University College London to examine Abdulmutallab's presence at UCL, for instance, included Muhammad Abdul Bari on its panel of experts. In 2006, while Secretary General of the Muslim Council of Britain, Bari offered the East London Mosque as a platform to Delwar Hossain Sayeedi, the Jamaat-e-Islami vice-president who has since also been sentenced to death in Bangladesh for his involvement in acts of genocide during the 1971 War of Independence. Muhammad Abdul Bari has also defended the East London Mosque's decision to host an event with Anwar Al-Awlaki, the late Al Qaeda leader.
The process of radicalization seems institutionalized within Britain's leading "moderate" Islamist groups. Until the government chooses seriously to challenge the extremism promoted by these organizations, withdraws all public funding and puts a stop to the inclusion of "non-violent" extremists in the discussion of public policy, the "conveyor belt" will continue to release more and more radicalized youth onto the streets of British cities.

Alleged Plot to Impose Islamism on UK Schools Revealed
From The Clarion Project.
Alleged Plot to Impose Islamism on UK Schools Revealed
A letter purporting to be from a Birmingham based Islamist reveals a detailed plot to impose Islamist practices on state-run British schools.
A letter, which details a plot to takeover British state schools and use them to teach extremist interpretations of Islam, came into the possession of members of the Birmingham City Council. It was later leaked to British media. It was allegedly a correspondence between two Islamists, one in Birmingham and one in Bradford, both in the UK.
"Operation Trojan Horse," as it is named in the letter, sets out a strategy on how to remove uncooperative teachers and replace them with Islamists and eliminate mixed sports and other activities have been deemed 'un-Islamic.' It names four schools as having already been successfully taken over in Birmingham: Adderley Primary, Saltley School, Park View School and Regents Park Community School.
The plan detailed in the letter is simple. It requires first recruiting support from parents of children at the school, preferably "hardline," Salafi parents. These parents are then to form a united front to pressure the head teacher and individuals to conform to the Islamist doctrine and practice i.e. compulsory hijabs, only halal meat, compulsory Islamic prayer etc.
Campaigns of harassment and intimidation are to be used to eventually force uncooperative teachers to quit, so they can be replaced with more compliant teachers. Writing to MPs, governors and teachers and complaining about the standard of education are tactics recommended in the letter. Parents are asked to say "that the school is corrupting their children with sex education, teaching about homosexuals, making their children pray Christian prayers and mixed swimming and sports."
Religious coercion in Britain's state schools is illegal. For those who prefer a particular religious environment for their children a provision for religious schools exists, and there are many Muslim schools in the UK, along with other faith schools, that receive state funding.
Some have argued that the letter is a fraud. Tahir Alam, the former chair of the education committee of the Muslim Council of Britain, called the letter "a malicious fabrication and completely untrue." He is, however, named personally in the letter and is closely involved in Muslim education in schools.
One teacher, Michael White, claims that after Alam became chairman of the board of governors at Park View school, he was forced from his position as head of Mathematics. He had tried to block attempts to appoint unqualified Islamists to teaching positions and opposed the banning of sex education. He told The Daily Mail, "It was a highly-organised, clever operation that I was powerless to fight." According to the Telegraph, a senior teacher at Park View "repeatedly endorsed the terrorist ideologue Anwar al-Awlaki at school assemblies." Awlaki was a high ranking al-Qaeda leader and propogandist who was a major influence on the jihadist movement. He was killed in 2011.
Aside from Alam's role in the Muslim Council of Britain, he is vice-chair of the Association of Muslim Schools. Last year at its conference one of the speakers attacked "attempts to integrate Muslim children" as an effort "to produce new generations that will reject Islam."
Although the letter is unsigned and undated, there is plenty of corroborating evidence to support the claims it makes. Teachers who have been forced to resign have lined up to tell their stories. One teacher reported how Islamists turned against her after she reported children in her class returning from after school Qu'ran class covered in bruises. She said people arrived at the school asking her class for any incriminating evidence against her.
The Telegraph's London editor Andrew Gilligan said "whether or not the letter is genuine, much of what it describes is certainly real." According to Telegraph investigations, "there is indeed an organised group of Muslim teachers, education consultants, school governors and activists dedicated to furthering what one of them describes as an “Islamising agenda” in Birmingham’s schools."
The Telegraphs goes on to say that Islamist activists, who are members of the local Muslim communities in Birmingham, convene in person and online to discuss ways of furthering their Islamist agenda. Conversations from a private WhatsApp Group called "Educational Activists" were leaked to the Telegraph. One entry, which was apparently "typical" crowed: "A battle was fought and won tonight at a large inner city primary school where the governors voted by 8-7 in favor of collective worship that is wholly or mainly of an Islamic character, thereby overturning five years of 'children pray in their own way and language’! The governing body is now polarized on faith grounds."
This is not the first time that attempts to Islamize education have caused controversy. Last month an Islamic boy's school was warned by the Department of Education under gender equality law for advertising a position as a temporary science teacher only for male applicants.
The Telegraph names several prominent Muslim community figures as involved in the effort. Other papers including the Guardian and The Daily Mail name a variety of individuals and schools as involved. So far, there no specific organization has been linked to the campaign. Individuals involved within the campaign are affiliated with a myriad of groups, councils and committees.
Whether the letter itself is a forgery, investigations have revealed a clearly orchestrated and organized campaign. The goal is straightforward: to impose a strict Islamic education upon British children in order to pass on a radical interpretation of the Muslim faith.
