Blumer on the British Ban

10

The British Authorities have banned us from the whole ecountry on the
grounds that our  presence in the United Kingdom would not be “conducive
to the public good“. On the contrary, Secretary May. I submit to you that
freedom of speech and freedom of conscience is most conducive to the public good. It is essential to the public good.

Tom Blumer has a superb post on the British Home Secretary’s barring of Robert Spencer and me from Britian.

Banned From Britain: Pamela Geller, Robert Spencer Tom Blumer, Newsbusters

Story continues below advertisement

Pamela Geller announced
at her Atlas Shrugs blog Wednesday morning that “the British government
has banned us (herself and fellow Stop Islamization of America activist
Robert Spencer) from entering the country … In not allowing us into
the country solely because of our true and accurate statements about
Islam, the British government is behaving like a de facto Islamic state.
The nation that gave the world the Magna Carta is dead.” She has posted
the letter (Page 1; Page 2)
from the British Home Office Secretary (UK’s equivalent of our Homeland
Security) telling her that her presence would not be “conducive to the
public good.”

A later post
at Geller’s blog has a collection of press reports which readers should
review for the predictable signs of bias. One which isn’t there is from
the Associated Press, written by James Brooks (bolds are mine):

US ANTI-ISLAM ACTIVISTS BANNED FROM ENTERING UK

Two American anti-Islam activists were banned Wednesday from entering Britain following reports they were planning to speak at a far-right rally this weekend.

Robert Spencer and Pamela Geller, who founded the organization Stop
the Islamization of America, had been planning to attend an English
Defense League march in London.

The Home Office said in a statement that Speller and Geller were
“subject to an exclusion decision” and would not be allowed to enter the
U.K.

“The Home Secretary will seek to exclude an individual if she
considers that his or her presence in the U.K. is not conducive to the
public good,” it said.

… Spencer and Geller were due to attend an EDL march Saturday to
mark Armed Forces Day. The march was set to finish in the London
neighborhood where soldier Lee Rigby was killed last month by alleged Islamic extremists.

Spencer said in an email that the Home Office’s decision amounts to “craven capitulation.”

Matthew Collins, a spokesman from anti-racism campaigners Hope
Not Hate, who had opposed Spencer and Geller entering the Britain, said
his group was “absolutely delighted” by the Home Office’s decision.

“Free speech doesn’t give you a right to incite hatred against people,” Collins said.

… Spencer and Geller are best known in the U.S. for their opposition
to the construction of a mosque near the ground zero site in New York.

Hope Not Hate is celebrating at its home page with the word “BANNED” covering a picture of Geller and Spencer.

SOIA’s Facebook “about” page
says it “is a human rights organization dedicated to free speech,
religious liberty and individual rights.” Radical Islam is most
certainly not dedicated to those things.

Wikipedia’s page on SOIA says that it’s “an American anti-Islam/anti-Muslim (Islamophobic) organization.”

The oh-so-objective people at Wikipedia say its SOIA page is “Part of a
series on Islamophobia.” It identifies all of seven “specific
incidents” spread over at least seven years allegedly blamed on
Islamophobia.

The latest tally at ReligionOfPeace.com tells us that Islamic terrorists have carried out 21,127 deadly terror attacks since 9/11.

Geller frequently points out examples of people with radical Islamic
ties who travel freely and frequently to and from Britain. But she
can’t.

Meanwhile, the UK Sun reports
that “HATE preacher Anjem Choudary is backing a Muslim group that stood
accused last night of stoking vigilante violence on Britain’s streets.”
The idea is “to create a network of “task forces” to redress wrongs and
mete out instant justice.”

It seems like the Home Secretary has security-related concerns which
are far more important than a couple of people exercising their
God-given rights of freedom of speech and expression.

Geller appears to be right. The nation that gave the world the Magna Carta really is dead.

Great stuff here as well:

Not entirely surprising but I’m still appalled.
They’re running scared.
In the same manner that British Police and Social Services allowed uncontrolled rape of vulnerable minors by predatory Muslims in order to preserve ‘community cohesion’ so we see them, yet again, bending the knee to these unassimilated invaders.
There will be crowing in a thousand mosques this week with calls of ‘look what we can do’, a few threats, massive whining and voilla, it’s done.
Don’t worry, this isn’t the end, merely one battle whilst a whole war stretches ahead.

Hope not Hate, Nick Lowles and his henchmen are the most despicable lying, comptemptible, malicious, demented, inhumane group of thugs – in fact, you would be hard pushed to put a blade between the barbarian savages of the cult and this lot. They are now making so many enemies, not just about their handiwork in getting Pamela and Robert banned from the UK, but for their maliciousness towards a 2 year old child who has cancer – I would not want to be Nick Lowles walking down a dark alley alone.

A thought just came to me. Being that Nick Lowles of Hope not Hate, and the UAF and all their other sick deluded minions, most of which are long term dole spongers – if they see EDL peoples money as tainted, then surely all the soap dodging dole benefit scroungers from Hope not Hate, and the UAF et al, should consider returning a percentage of their dole money/benefits. Maybe someone can put this to Nick Lowles, being he is their pied-piper.

Pamela, do you know Matthew Collins history? If not, someone should. It’s not hard to find on the web. The man is a nasty thug who likes battering elderly ladies and allegedly has ties to the Provisional IRA terrorists.

The same applies to Nick Lowles – allegedly links to terrorism, the same 1983 Harrods bombing by the Prov IRA that Matthew Collins is allegedly linked to. These thugs are just a bunch of sick hypocritical thugs. http:// en . metapedia . org /wiki/Nick_Lowles
Also, I doubt very much that the majority of names on the petition that Lowles et al arranged, were authentic. They are extremists and use extreme tactics. Wouldn’t know honesty if it was slapped their faces.

Let’s hope this growing story gets television media coverage soon, I feel it is growing legs fast. At least on FOX news, maybe even CNN— it would be great to see it on CBS,ABC,but very unlikely on MSNBC. I’ve sent the growing story to several emails for FOX News show such as Megyn Kelly , Hannity, and O’Reilly to name a few.
Send some yourselves [email protected] [email protected] O’[email protected]

Thank you for your post. I also am truly struggling with my feelings surrounding my historical heritage and what the UK has become. I no longer feel a connection to my British roots in the light of this monstrous reality. I am sickened by this news out of the UK. Thank you for your unquenchable light of truth Pam.
