A Muslim rape gang – yet another – was just charged with 196 counts of rape, sex with a child, trafficking and false imprisonment, but let’s be frank: there are more serious crimes being committed these days in Britain, and the Yorkshire Evening Post has the skinny on some of the most outrageous of them. It seems that the imam at Makkah Mosque in Leeds, Qari Asim MBE (yes, MBE, just like the Beatles), who is also a “government adviser on Islamophobia,” claims that “hate speech” has “left scars” on members of his congregation. Yes, it’s true: the poor lambs have been called rude names on the street. You thought you had it bad.
The Post informs us that “Leeds City Council research shows that Muslim people are most likely to be targeted by religiously-motivated hate crime than any other community in the city.” That hate crime apparently includes not just insults on the street, but on the interwebs as well: “And online abuse can have an equally devastating impact on Muslims in Leeds, Imam Asim said, creating a sense of fear and dividing communities.”
Imam Asim solemnly informed the world that “I have personally experienced online abuse on a regular basis.” Even worse, “Many of my congregation members have experienced anti-Muslim hatred: being called ‘Bin Ladens’, ‘ISIS supporters’, told to ‘go back home’.” The noble Yorkshire Evening Post details the devastation this causes: “Such anti-Muslim abuse has left scars on people and created a sense of fear not only for the victims but also families and friends.”

There is no doubt about it whatsoever, and every decent person must say it loudly and without hesitation: it is very, very unkind of the people to call members of the Makkah Mosque rude names. It would be so nice if people didn’t do that. And yet there are a few lingering questions. People are rude to one another all the time. Many people have been called unkind things on the street and online. Yet most of the time, there are no articles in any newspapers about this. Why is the situation different in the case of the Makkah Mosque? Well, that’s obvious!, you will say. It’s because the Post includes another salient detail: Muslims in the United Kingdom are not just called rude names, but brutalized: “women have had scarves snatched in appalling attacks.”
Well, that may be, although many such claims have turned out to have been false, notably that of Yasmin Seweid, who got international headlines for falsely claiming that Trump supporters tore off her hijab in the New York subway. If this is really happening among the congregants of the Makkah Mosque, the perpetrators should be tried for assault in every case that such a prosecution is genuinely warranted.
But the Yorkshire Evening Post article also makes a point it did not intend to make. Qari Asam is trying to show how bad Muslims have it in Britain, and all he can come up with are unkind words and unsupported claims that women have had their hijabs snatched off. Contrast that with the stories of Islamic jihad activity that we post here regularly. Which is more serious? Yet which gets more establishment media attention?
The problem here is that the word “Islamophobia” is used not just to refer to attacks of innocent Muslims, which are never justified, but also to honest and accurate analysis of how Islamic jihadis use the texts and teachings of Islam to justify violence. Is Qari Asim trying to silence such analysis by conflating it with the rude things his congregants have been called? Are insults really comparable to beheadings, suicide bombings, and the like?
Yet all reporting on the latter is called “Islamophobia” as much as the insults are. Qari Asim has unwittingly demonstrated that Muslims are not actually suffering in Britain any more than anyone else who has ever been called a rude name on the street or online. But actual vigilante attacks against innocent Muslims are so thin on the ground that this will have to do, and in any case it serves to further the Leftist/Islamic war against the freedom of speech.

Tough luck, jackass. I get called names all the time. Buck up, sissy.
Don’t use this as an excuse to go rape 13 year old girls.

Once again, Muslims deem themselves the victim, not the real victims of this perverse cult, Islam. The latter of whom are non-Muslims, non-believers from women to prepubescent or teenage girls.
Islam is a self-indulgent cult bent on self-gratification by sexual-deviance to the murdering of non-Muslims. Britain and indeed the entire faux-Democratic West are more concerned with those criticizing Islam than its victims.

I don’t anymore know why because the insanity and limited intellect of many Muslims is evident, but I still marvel at the puny, one-sided thinking of Muslims. To them every degraded thing that Muslims do is ‘okay’. Rape and mass rape 13-year-old girls, throw acid in the face of non-Muslims or stab them, or run them down in a vehicle on Westminster Bridge and it all ‘okay’. But call Muslims nasty names, oh dear me that is horrible – and so unfair. It is if you’re mentally deranged.

If you don’t want to be called a criminal then don’t congregate with criminals!!!! How many of your congregation have bled to death from those names?

Taqiyya is Islam. The followers of Mad Mo claim to be victims when it is they who are the aggressors. And the goal is always the same since the 7th Century :: deceive the non-believer in order to advance Islamic supremacy.
Of course, the non-believers can only be outwitted if they are also non-thinkers.

Even though I KNOW ISLAM is NOT of God, the real God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, I would never call them names. After all, WHO WAS I BEFORE I BECAME A FOLLOWER OF CHRIST? I was just like them, A SINNER and if everyone around me had called me names and tried to humiliate me because of what I believed or not believed, I WOULD HAVE PROBABLY NEVER COME TO CHRIST.
SHAME ON ALL OF YOU WHO WOULD ACTUALLY DO THIS TO ANYONE!
I would rather turn a MUSLIM to the real Savior of the world, then to TURN HIM/HER AGAINST ME AND CHRIST because THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT IS HAPPENING.
IF these Muslims are radicals, then stop voting them into Office.
Stop giving them a platform to speak (outside their Mosques).
Stop giving them everything they want. MOST OF THESE MUSLIMS are radicals. You just don’t see it right away until they are persecuted, like Christians are.
Even though ISLAM is a faux ideology, it is based on real evil and is used to manipulate mankind in many ways.
REMEMBER THIS: A radical Muslim wants to behead you. A moderate Muslim wants the radical Muslim to behead you. And even THAT analogy is only 1 out of 10.
But, I have studied ISLAM for many, many years, and IT IS NOT A RELIGION. IT IS AN IDEOLOGY BECAUSE:
— ISLAM HAS NO SAVIOR OF THE WORLD.
— ISLAM IT HAS NO FORGIVENESS OF SINS.
— ISLAM HAS NO REDEMPTION EXCEPTION TO DO EVIL, but not all Muslims actually read their Quran thoroughly. It is full of deception and evils that Satan will use to get a radical Muslim to do. So, BEWARE, but be kind UNTIL you must defend yourself physically against their ideology.
In the meantime, STOP WITH ALL THE PERSECUTION OR YOU WILL BE AIDING AND ABETTING THEIR CAUSE OF WORLD DOMINATION.

The go@tfookers feel hurt by names. How many people have been hurt by the words Allah Akbar as they get stabbed, raped or blown up?

In the cause of clarity over this “iman’s” claims, perhaps such “hate speech” or “insults” could, by any literate reasonable person be better regarded as reasoned and much deserved acts of targeted peaceful resistance against an alien racial/religious minority group bent upon subjugating by sexual and terrorist religiously mandated violence a host society through the raping of the host populations under aged daughters while trying to murder by knife, body bomb or vehicle ramming the rest of the family.
Any charges of “rudeness” levied by those outside the problem or involved directly in complicity with it will remain subjective. Perhaps those who express their ill informed views need to have more current direct experience of what many have to face in these affected societies.
A more sustainable course of action which could be studied [in the cause of building a sustainable tolerant society] could involve the steady removal of those who have proved to be “unreliable” Britons, the banning of their seditious illegal incitement speech, the mass closing and demolition of their places of worship followed by the widespread teaching and open debate of the truth around what some actually believe and are prepared to act upon.

The only difference between Muslims and Democrats is that Democrats migrated with their victims, and Muslims migrate to their victims.The only difference between Democrats and the privileged bloodlines ruling Europe, is the location. They don’t assimilate, they conquer. They are deceivers. They infiltrate and grow until they can murder their way to absolute power. The only way to deal with them is to get rid of them. They’re all lip-locked kissin’ cousins. They’re all one sick, perverted, sadistic family.

Imam Asim solemnly informed the world that “I have personally experienced online abuse on a regular basis.”
I empathize completely, Assim. Had the same experience myself. Just makes you want to go out and rape a nine year old girl, doesn’t it?

Silence is Violence but violence is ok
I actually heard more than one liberal piece of crap say this…Antifa, BLM…It’s amazing how identical their tactics are to Muslims. It’s like ISIS is teaching these radicals how to suck punch like belligerent cowards. At least antifa hasn’t done a sucker beheading attack from the back like Muslims love doing to women, children, and the Christian elderly. How BRAVE lol…

How do you say, “Sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me”… In Arabic…
Such poor wee soy boys getting called nasty names and when somebody does such a thing to me I often ask them, “what shall I do with their opinion”, to which they often reply, “I dont care what you do with it”, and so thats just how important their opinions are to me. They dont care about their own opinions so why the hell would I go out my way to be offended by such silly silly wee soy boys.

So his congregation has been kidnapping and raping young girls for decades and he is complaining about them being called nasty names? What a drinking pervert! I could think of a lot of other na!we but it would not be appropriate in an open forum like this one! Go back to hell where you came from imam.

Called bad names and being harassed?
Could it be that Muslim culture is not capable of living in relative peace with other cultures?
Could it be all the videos of beheading infidels?
Could it be the inability of Muslim men to keep their dicks in their pants?
Could it be that their religion thinks a 5th century caravan robbing, slave trading warlord pedophile is the ideal man?
No those people were just being Islamophobic says the BBC and every other leftist media.
People are waking up
