UK Bans Geller and Spencer, Sanctions IED Jihadist Squads

119

I have been banned in Britain. My crime? My principled dedication to freedom. I am a human rights activist dedicated to freedom of speech, freedom of conscience and individual rights for all before the law. I fiercely oppose violence and the persecution and oppression of minorities under supremacist law. I deplore violence and work for the preservation of freedom of speech to avoid violent conflict.

I have never been convicted of any crime. I have never been arrested. I became a writer and activist in the wake of 911.

For this I am banned. I shed no tears. I am banned from Mecca, too.

The Home Secretary said that my being in the UK was “not conducive to the public good.” Banning those who speak in defense of freedom is “not conducive to the public good.” It is painfully apparent that the action of the British authorities will have the opposite effect of what they had intended. They have lit a fuse. And instead of allowing a respectful laying of flowers in memory of Lee Rigby on Armed Forces day, they have given rise and sanction to poison like this (below).

Our banning is like a patient on life support refusing medical treatment.

Danger is not Improvised Explosive Devices but hate preacher’s Islamic Emergency Defence mob
Praise … Anjem Choudary National Pictures
HATE preacher Anjem Choudary is backing a Muslim group that stood accused last
night of stoking vigilante violence on Britain’s streets.

The fanatical cleric is urging his followers to sign up as recruits to the
newly-launched Islamic Emergency Defence — which vows to create a network of
“task forces” to redress wrongs and mete out instant justice.

And last night the group was accused of mocking Britain’s war dead — just by
its initials.

The Islamic Emergency Defence’s name shortens to IED, which also stands for
Improvised Explosive Device — the kind of deadly bomb used to kill and
injure soldiers in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Backers of the group, which is further accused of risking vigilante violence,
claimed it was “pure coincidence”.

But ex-Scotland Yard commander and terrorism expert John O’Connor fumed: “This
is mocking Servicemen killed by IEDs. It shows their warped state of mind.”

And Julie Siddiqi of the Islamic Society of Britain called it “inflammatory”.

The group’s launch comes just a month after Army drummer Lee Rigby was hacked
to death in Woolwich, south-east London.

Killed … Lee Rigby

Its website gives an “emergency hotline” mobile number for Muslims to report
attacks rather than calling the police.

It offers a link to set up “task forces” and says issues will be “dealt with
in a swift and Islamic manner”.

The website is headed by a militaristic lion surrounded by the slogan,
“Defending the Muslim community”.

Hate cleric Choudary greeted the IED’s arrival by tweeting “Good news with the
launch”, and saying that it had “risen to the challenge”.

The London-based cleric, who admitted having an “advisory role” in the group,
urged followers to sign up.

Asked if it was encouraging violence, he said: “People can look at it as a
vigilante group but to protect and defend yourself is not illegal.”

Organisers, who “clarified” on Twitter that Choudary did not run the group,
admitted their hotline had quickly been swamped by abusive calls.

Shadow justice secretary Sadiq Khan said: “What is hoped to be achieved by
this except offence and tension?”

Labour MP Rushanara Ali said: “When groups encourage people to take the law
into their own hands it needs to be stopped.”

The Home Office vowed to keep IED “under review”.

We all have to realize what ‘tolerance’ these government bureaucrats are espousing. It is essentially a fat ass philosophy which says, ‘we are so lazy we refuse to face up to these evil.’ ‘As long as we get paid, we prefer not having to act.’ ‘We are for multi-cultural inclusion and tolerance.’
The status quo will continue until the British public at large can no longer tolerate evils affecting their lives. Yes, there have been some victims, like this British soldier who got attacked or many underage girls who got gang raped and terrorised into submission etc. But these are not enough to wake up the fat asses in the government. Oh sure, they will come out and act outraged. But would they change anything??

Has anyone ever considered that Anjem (Andy), Choudary may be in the employ of MI5?
Think about it, a former cider drinking, ganja smoking, porn loving, serial shagger student. Perfect to be recruited.
Not only that, he’s a qualified solicitor who has a comfortable lifestyle and doesn’t work for any of it, even within our generous welfare system, that must take some doing.
Oh, and he appears to be immune from arrest and prosecution whenever he opens his mouth and reminds us all of what Islam really is when all goes quiet.
Surely worth a thought?

Well, Charles Manson was once a pimp but he was more than that! Same with the Allah god of Mecca. Think about all these terrorists – like 9/11 hijackers who killed 3,000 people. Their last words were ‘Allahu Akbar’ or Allah is the greater god. Or any muslims who are committing most evil acts possible – beheading ‘infidels’ or Jews like Daniel Pearl. What is their shouting cry as they behead their captives? “Allahu Akbar!’ Allah is the greatest. Many muslims even shout Allahu Akbar while they rape their captives.
Whenever they commit the most horrendously evil acts, they always shout out and give praises to to their Allah god. So one has to ask, who is this Allah god who exalts himself in all these evil acts??
As the Church Lady may says… ‘Could it be.. Satan!!!’ If so, he is more than a pimp!

For those that had labeled me a Homophobe in the past for my exposure of the insane Pro-hamas groups at a gay parade.Here’s the Media video that finally caught-up to my observation over two years ago.
http://www.sunnewsnetwork.ca/video/featured/prime-time/867432237001/hateful-hypocrisy/2506773234001
One thing I don’t understand is how the Canadian securities bodies don’t go after the two Banks (BMO and TD-canada trust) that endorse and sponsor the PRIDE event for the last 3 years knowing Pro-Hamas groups were in it. The Share Holders for BMO and TD stock are not being told that their Profits have some funds diverted for supporting a Terrorist group By-Proxy. BMO staff marches in PRIDE with BMO shirts as evidence.
So, Pam and Robert get banned from entering the UK for the false labels of being anti-muslim bigots fueling hatred, and yet this weekend 1000’s of Tourists will pour into canada and attend an event with pro-hamas groups when hamas deems gays and evil and should be killed as a favour to allah.

I’m telling you Pamela, you are wasting your breath trying to explain your peaceful intentions. The government in Britain is mentally ill. Sick in fact. There can be no more denying that they intend to protect the Islamic savages at all costs until the people rise up in righteous indignation.
All Michael Savage did was talk on his radio program about the Jihadists being “sixth century throw-backs” and he got banned forever by this same creature that you did. That crypto-Islamist. And, as I said, she even put him on a terrorist watch list!

Jamie, I’m a long-time ardent supporter (both money and mouth) of Pamela, have even sent the EDL a couple of modest donations for solidarity. You (I presume you’re EDL too) have the unfortunate position of standing isolated for what is left of the true honor of England and Western European leadership in the “good fight” and struggle to remain free; very best of luck to you. As far as the left-wing here and there, they deserve nothing but our contempt, the entire collective (pun intended) bunch of pathetic government bureaucrat weasels and hypocrites, and especially the people who vote for them. But very best wishes to you and your friends, wonderful to see you representing yourself here.

This is unbelievably shocking. The irony is that Pamela has actually done more to support the human rights of Muslims (by campaigning, for example, against the abuse of women and gays in Islamic societies) than any politician in the UK.
What I am not surprised about is the role of the Jewish Board of Deputies in lobbying for the ban:

You always make the same mistake of assuming that the actions of a minority represent the majority. Should America be judged by the school shootings, the rapes and killings of civilians by the soldiers and so on? No. Should we judge America after it helped topple democratically elected governments, took its country to war over a fantasy weapons a mass destructions? No. There are many things we are unhappy about in our societies but perhaps we should look to keeping our own houses in order. We do have issues here, to be sure. Would the situation be improved by your presence in the UK? No. I’m more than happy for you to remain in America

You guys do know the EDL is our version of the Ku Klux Klan, don’t you?! Instead of white hoods they wear balaclavas. They are reviled in England and Lee Rigby’s family do not want their demos. That’s why you have been banned. Think of Lee’s family. Shame on you.

Any scientist will tell you that WMD’s were found. Or are you of the opinion that biological and chemical weapons do not count? Both were found. But nice try to sidetrack the actual topic.
Do you feel the situation will be improved by NOT telling the truth?
Do you feel the situation will be improved by admitting REAL hatemongers?
Do you feel the situation will be improved by cowering for those that INDEED threaten violence?
Do you feel the situation will be improved by appeasing those that openly worship the Nazi’s?
If you do, then I suggest you drive backwards only, not using the mirrors in the car, disregard and traffic rules, and drive on the wrong side (obviously). Suicidal? Indeed, that’s what it is.
Defending, and loud and proud proclaiming the documented, verifiable truth simply cannot be wrong.

You and Robert are in good company; it was Geert Wilders first, and now you. Pamela, it is very unfortunate, but nothing can prevent what’s coming to the Brits. They are working really hard at it, and they will get it. As a matter of fact, they already are. And if the unspeakable evil of Lee Rigby’s murder did not call the British government to their senses, nothing can.
They sold their soul for oil, and it’s too late now to regain it. They are going down.

I left this note at the Home Office here: https://www.gov.uk/feedback/contact
I’m writing to protest your banning Robert Spencer and Pamela Geller from entering Britain to pay their respects to Drummer Lee Rigby, who was butchered by Muslims in Woolwich. You ought to be ashamed of yourselves. You cite several reasons for banning Mr. Spencer and Miss Geller, among them “fostering hatred,” and “fomenting terrorist violence.” If you read the list of alleged offences under “express views that” you’ll see that it is not Spencer or Geller who commit these actions, but Muslims and their provocateurs, such as Anjem Choudary, who apparently can indulge in “hate speech” as much as he wishes without risk of arrest or even banishment. Now he is urging Muslims – particularly the young punks (shall we call them “Yobs for Allah”) – to join the Islamic Emergency Defence vigilantes. If you let this organization roam freely, you may as well swear them in as auxiliaries to the police. Farewell Magna Carta. Churchill must be turning in his grave.
And if you want to read “hate speech,” try reading my weblog at http://ruleofreason.blogspot.com/. Perhaps you can persuade Choudary to talk to his ilk over here and run me down for the Lee Rigby treatment. I do book signings in public. It ought to be easy. But then, you wouldn’t want to know about it. Your country may as well have surrendered to the Nazis, because it’s Islamic Nazis who are taking it over.

We’ll have to agree to differ on the specifics of the examples I offered. The point I was making is that judging entire cultures from the actions of a tiny minority is not rational. The murderers of Lee Rigby are probably psychopaths (I may be wrong, I’m not qualified in the field), and would use any argument to justify their actions. All our governments make poor decisions and every society has its malcontents. I agree that we should defend ourselves against people who seek to do harm, but it doesn’t therefore follow that I need to be paranoid to do it..

I recall the Guardian newspaper asking British readers what they hoped would happen in the US elections in 2000. The vitriol and aggression of Americans telling us we should butt out was surprising. In a similar vein, why don’t you concern yourself with your own issues. If we are beyond hope then don’t waste your time.
Ironic you should bring up Churchill and Nazis. The latter got their idea for the concentration camps from Churchill after he successfully tested the concept against the Boers.

Spencer responds;

The British government is behaving like a de facto Islamic state. The nation that gave the world the Magna Carta is dead.

Perhaps not “dead”, but certainly a defacto dhimmified vassal-state.
This is the most disgraceful spectacle since Scotland released the Lockerbie bomber;

Alex Salmond and Kenny MacAskill, the architects of the early release of mass murderer Abdul Megrahi, have written to his wife following news that he may be dying, offering to play bagpipes at his wake.
In letter leaked to the Guardian, Salmond writes:
We hardly kent yer guildman but we dinnae hink he is guilty. Sae therefair we offer tae attend his funeral an’ hauld a wake fur heem.
We will also brin’ uir bagpipes, kilts an’ some haggis. An’ we will brin’ sweets fur th’ bairns.”

Right-minded English folk were speechless then, too – mainly because they couldn’t understand the letter.
