Lauren Southern banned from UK for distributing poster critical of Islam

57

Southern “passed around a fake ‘LGBT for Islam UK’ poster that said: ‘Allah is Gay, Allah is Trans, Allah is Lesbian, Allah is Intersex, Allah is Feminist, Allah is Queer, Allah is All of Us.’ The experiment in Luton, which has a significant Islamic population, was in response to a Vice article that asked whether Jesus was gay.”

Note the double standard. The British government doesn’t have any problem with anyone criticizing or lampooning Christianity or Judaism or any other religion. But when it comes to Islam, it’s clear from their banning of Southern — and from their previous banning of me — that the May government is determined to appease and accommodate its Muslim population even to the extent of adopting sharia blasphemy restrictions on free speech. They asked Southern how she felt about running over people with cars, which is just an insult — she, like me, has never advocated violence. All the violence is coming from the left, but the British government has nothing to say about that. They’re trying desperately to fabricate a “right-wing extremist” threat that is equivalent to the jihad threat, and as a result they’re not just banning Southern and the others, but smearing them by implying that they are terrorists.

This should be enough to bring down the May government. It won’t be, and even if it were, a Corbyn government will be even worse. Britain is finished.

“Right-wing journalist Lauren Southern denied entry to UK, purportedly over criticism of Islam,” by Adam Shaw, Fox News, March 12, 2018 (thanks to Kenny):

Canadian right-wing journalist and activist Lauren Southern was barred from entering the United Kingdom on Monday, purportedly over a poster she distributed about Islam in February — making her the latest international right-wing figure to be denied entry to the U.K. after criticizing the religion.

The U.K. Home Office confirmed to Fox News that Southern was refused entry to the U.K. at the border in Calais, France on the grounds that her entry was not “conducive to the public good.”

“Border Force has the power to refuse entry to an individual if it is considered that his or her presence in the UK is not conducive to the public good,” a Home Office spokesman said in a statement. The spokesman did not offer specifics as to why her entry was refused.

Southern, speaking to Fox News from France, said that she was to visit friends in the U.K., including Tommy Robinson — the controversial founder of the right-wing English Defense League who is also known for his fiery criticism of Islam.

Southern said she was detained for six hours at the Calais border port, had her phone taken from her as she was held in a detention center and questioned for four hours in a line of interrogation she described as “bizarre.”

“They asked me if I’m a Christian extremist, asked me how I feel about running over people with cars,” she told Fox News. “They asked me about Tommy Robinson, asked how I would describe myself politically, asked me how I would describe nationalism.”

Southern said a notice of refusal of entry she was given cited a prior “distribution of racist materials” in February in Luton, which the document said “represents a threat to the fundamental interests of society and to the public policy of the United Kingdom.”

Both Southern and Robinson told Fox News that the material being referred to was a social experiment in which they passed around a fake “LGBT for Islam UK” poster that said: “Allah is Gay, Allah is Trans, Allah is Lesbian, Allah is Intersex, Allah is Feminist, Allah is Queer, Allah is All of Us.”

The experiment in Luton, which has a significant Islamic population, was in response to a Vice article that asked whether Jesus was gay, and was conducted to show what the Islamic reaction would be if a similar claim was made about Allah. Robinson said they were forced to take the posters down by police and told it was for their own safety. Both Robinson and Southern denied that the materials were racist, arguing that criticizing a religion is not a racist act….

Meanwhile, the left-wing Southern Poverty Law Center slammed Southern’s “anti-feminist, xenophobic, Islamophobic diatribes [that] tiptoe at the precipice of outright white nationalism” and branded her the “alt-right’s Canadian dog whistle.”

Her latest book “Barbarians: How the Baby Boomers, Immigration, and Islam Screwed My Generation” includes a recommendation from U.S. commentator Ann Coulter: “Buy this book before liberals ban it.”

But Southern told Fox that her treatment at the U.K. border indicates that something new may be afoot.

“It seems it could be marking the end of conservative speech in the U.K. or the beginning of an era of serious censorship,” Southern said.

Southern’s ban comes days after right-wing activists Martin Sellner and Brittany Pettibone, of the group “Generation Identity,” were refused entry to the U.K. when they landed at Luton Airport on Friday. According to the Home Office, they were both detained and eventually removed on Sunday after being judged that their presence was also “not conducive to the public good.”

The move by the U.K. government is likely to fuel long-standing claims from right-wing commentators (as well as some on the left) that Islam is given unique protection from criticism by European leaders — who have also struggled to grapple with a wave of Islamic extremism coming in part from mass migration.

“Fascinating that the U.K. Border Force allows so many illegals to slip through the cracks, but it’s suddenly the most competent Border Force in the world when it comes to banning two female conservative independent journalists and an Identitarian activist,” Pettibone said on Twitter after her release.

The three young activists are not the first to be denied entry to the U.K. after criticizing Islam. U.S. radio talk show host Michael Savage and blogger Pamela Geller, both of whom have been outspoken in their criticisms of Islamic extremism, have also been banned from entering the UK….

The hand of Mohammad is dust. He died, was buried and it is not all that difficult to imagine he is in a rather hot climate. Jesus, however was crucified died and was buried. On the third day he rose again in accordance of the scriptures and is seated at the right hand of God….He will come again to judge the living and the dead and His Kingdom will have no end. So, Trump can’t ban Islam……you, mate are backing the wrong horse. Mohammad is dead and Jesus is alive. You may taunt…your mob may even have some victories….some big ones even….but the battle is lost. Jesus overcame sin by dying on the Cross and He died for us all, so that we too might inherit the Kingdom of God. Mohammad was unable to do much, though was quite adept at pedophilia, murder,torture and rape and chuck in a dash of necrophilia and you have your guru. Doesn’t say much good for you does it. You re hereby advised…read the gospels and pray for the Holy Spirit to guide you to Christ, otherwise your’e in big big strife I’d reckon. BIG!!!! HUGE…..like an eternity’s worth of unimaginable pain, horror and torment. However much your masters .pay you, it is not enough. It could never be enough.

Indeed it does, from the qur’an “Quran (2:216) – “Fighting is prescribed for you, and ye dislike it. But it is possible that ye dislike a thing which is good for you, and that ye love a thing which is bad for you. But Allah knoweth, and ye know not”.

There were good reasons for that, actually.

It was the governing elite of America who recognized that they would be losing power after England decided to pay more attention to it’s now expensive colonies.The Brits at the time had no use for the colonial aristocracy already in place and considered them all same – simply as colonists. If you were a more average homesteader, you already were that low brow colonist and would benefit from an overseas power with a modern army protecting you from hostile natives, like they just had not more than 13 years earlier.

It turns out that particular modern army had also been relatively incompetent at gorilla warfare and many British born governors were arrogant and incompetent. That’s why you could actually peel off closer to 1/3 support from the population. They knew that when you need help now, the British army was months away and polishing their buttons. And the governors would be planning their teeny empires in the wilderness. 🙂

Anyway, 90% not fighting is a not really plausible, considering they were able to raise real armies. But 2/3 not fighting – 1/3 neutral, 1/3 for the King, yeah, plausible.

Historical events so often are a quirky blend of odd situations expressing themselves. The French and Indian War defined many of the situations that gave rise to the American Revolution, but it’s rarely taught that way. The historical narratives we get rarely represent the fullness of the situation at the time.

Going through security at London’s Heathrow airport, I can’t help the notion that the terrorists have already taken over. The ones patting you down certainly show more sympathy to their fellow Muslims, than to the Christian founders of that nation. Well, at least as long as they are busy at the airport, they are not running down innocent Englishmen on bridges.

I completely disagree with the UK thought-police policy, but I “get” the misguided sentiment behind it.

The reason the UK can ban those who are critical of Islam, or those who “rock the boat” of discussion is because the more “progressive” and “tolerant” (using their language) and evolved religions (Christianity, etc.) wont react by declaring a jihad against them. The more evolved sects have thicker skin, can take insult, are more “secure” in their identity. They’re more tolerant on more social issues (homosexuality, women’s rights etc.). Essentially there are NO consequences for banning Southern, but there are consequences for allowing her the right to be critical, because it opens up a much needed (but unwanted) discussion.

Perhaps the original thought behind the UK policy was that if they appease Islam first, they’ll get a taste of western society and come around to it’s freedoms and become more “tolerant” of western ideologies and actual laws. Like the girlfriend attracted to the bad boy who thinks they can change him. No matter how “bad” the bad boy is, it’s more important that the girlfriend maintain his approval and attention. Their main priority is being liked. But, in the end, if you don’t respect yourself, there’s no motivation for the “bad boy” to change.

Meanwhile, you’ve alienated all the friends and family who genuinely had your back all along and weren’t just using you.

They are only using Islam to eliminate Christianity and western civilization. They want communism were all are equally poor except for the ruling elite. They will know what is best for you.

Who is the “they” in this scenario, the political/faith leaders of Islam or the socialist leaders of the UK?

I’m quasi-skeptical of that ever coming to fruition, only because the relative world-wide “democratization” or at least exposure to it and it’s spoils and all the “stuff”/luxuries that comes with it is too tempting for those who want it, and (even though the SJW’s don’t realize half of what they take for granted) too hard to live without.

The whining SJW-types who are calling for “socialism” and even communism and all these forms of social control “because muh feelings”, will be the first ones whining when their own rules start inconveniencing them. They’ll willingly get on that teet – to a point when they start getting bossed around by the more dominant grievance group (Islam). Right now they’re the useful idiots of two campaigns that think they’re separately gaining more power. I’d bet that if the SJW types ever finally got pushed to far by their own policies by the monsters THEY create, that they’ll be the ones delivering the most violent, bigoted , intolerant backlash. Why, because they’re full of hate already, and they’ve shown how vile their intolerance is to select groups. All they need to do is get the ALL CLEAR to demonize a group because it was never about tolerance, it’s always been about control.

This is an excellent discussion of the thought pattern behind the quelling of Islamic criticism, along with analogy of the girlfriend who will merely find herself alone with a violent boyfriend.

As in girlfriend scenario, I’m not sure there’s anyway to discuss the problem until it’s obvious and well on it’s way to complete disaster. I’m very glad that Pamela Geller and Laura Southern are taking up the cause…but how effective they’ll be is another story entirely. I pray for the best.

And I’m saying this as woman…I really wish they were both men. It sounds so sexist and it is, but we need our men to stand up, to be role models and leaders. Certainly stand together with men, but dang it, part of the reason why the Brits can’t find themselves is because any whiff of testosterone is making them faint. The only solution in the “girlfriend” scenario, other than letting the predictable happen, was Dad storming the castle and saying “You’re coming home with me until you come to your flippin senses”. That’s not something Mom is going to be able to do and it’s not because she’s weak person, but because she’s Mom.

I drafted an open letter to the UK government and was thinking about having a rally/event supporting Britain First, but with Britany and Lauren being harassed it may need modification. Here is initial draft.
” To Teresa May and the Admiralty Government of the United Kingdom.
We the People of the united States have witnessed your abuses of our Sister in Christ, Jayda Fransen, and her colleagues Britain First and are outraged. She is not a sea creature or a dead fictional entity or character as it is obvious to us she is a live woman with inalienable rights that are spelled out in the Magna Carta, and guaranteed by God Himself. She is not your property and we recognize no claim otherwise. Your claims over her through the use of legal statutes using Admiralty Law were done without full discloser and that is fraud. Making your claims and using force against her constitutes operating under color of law, not legitimate.
We, the natural born living men and women consider her our friend, an equal among sovereigns’. We will consider her our friend irregardless if that feeling is returned, even rejected by her. We are not petty and small that we require anything returned for our recognition and admiration of a quality of character that is exclusive of the best of humanity.
We stand ready to chastise you in a time and manner of our choosing for your contemptible behavior. ”
Would anyone be interested in signing such a letter? Would anyone be interested in helping organizing an event/rally to publically sign this letter? It seems necessary to modify it as more and more are being hassled, but I wrote this weeks ago and sent a copy to AFDI and asked if they wanted to put on an event. It’s getting worse and progress needs to happen. Thoughts?

I’m thinking of having it at a rally for Britain First and those attending get to sign 1st. Kind of a public display of solidarity. Then make it open for others to sign in another manner. Post the idea around, if you would. It might take a while to put together and as I said may need to be modified as more and more stupidity takes place. I’d like it to not be a single issue platform, but more of an enough with the non-sense organizing event. I always say irregardless, don’t know why, but can’t always teach a dog new tricks.

Why don’t the Brits just make Islam the state religion and convert all the Anglican churches to mosques? Replace common law with sharia and start erasing all traces of their Christian history. That is where their policy leads so just get on with it. It’s a good thing they took all of their subjects’ guns away first. Good planning.
