(UK) The other day, we were all regaled to the news that Islamic hate monger Anjem Choudary have been found guilty of racial hatred and promoting the ugly agenda of ISIS. What makes this story stand out is not only was this race hustler allowed to get away with his radical Islamic indoctrination program (see below his many links), he was actually feted by the liberal media as the de facto spokesman for Islam in the UK. The bBC alone had him on speed dial where at the drop of a hat he would turn up at the News studio and excuse the latest Islamic terrorist attack by blaming the victims.
Whilst the media was happy to promote this man as the voice of Islam, not one Islamic Org in the UK wanted anything to do with him. But hey, when has the facts stopped the media from pushing a story?
Well, as mentioned the other day, Choudary was found guilty of racial hatred and supporting ISIS, and he is currently awaiting his sentence. To the bBC, this was a bad news day and whilst they had to join in with reporting his nefarious links to terrorism.
They have gone out of their way in which to turn the story around and make Muslims the victims of the day yet again. So we had the story about how a Muslim student could only be a victim when somebody shouted out "There is no Sharia here!" The fact that she is a homophobe and an anti-Semite is by the bye to the bBC. She is Muslim, wears a hijab and a woman. To the liberals, she ticks all the boxes.
The other story was how during the month of July, 7,000 tweets (globally) were deemed to be... Islamophobic. Here is the screen dump:
A quick check finds there are over 1,5 billion English speakers around the world. If only a 10th used Twitter, 7,000 tweets a day isn't anything to write home about. But the last paragraph about what kinds of tweets these were, got me searching for the DEMOS report it is based on. Here is what I found:
The Centre for the Analysis of Social Media (CASM) at Demos is conducting continuous research on hateful, xenophobic, anti-disability, anti-Semitic and anti-Islamic ideas and expressions on Twitter. This is part of a broad effort to understand the scale, scope and nature of uses of social media that are possibly socially problematic and damaging. This short paper details recent results for the use of Twitter to share expressions which are identified as Islamophobic, derogatory and hateful.
Spike 1 – July 5th
We identified 9,220 Islamophobic Tweets on 5 July. It is difficult to identify one singular event that triggered this rise in Islamophobic language. One possible explanation is that this was 4 days after the 12-hour siege by IS militants in a café in Bangladesh. American, Italian, Indian, Japanese and Bangladeshi victims were among the 22 people killed in this attack. Furthermore, this day marked the end of Ramadan before the start of Eid al-Fitr, perhaps intensifying a global focus on Islam. Examples of tweets from this day include: “Nobody can stop Muslims committing jihad attacks any more than they can stop Buddhists meditating or Mormons knocking on people's doors”; “Morocco deletes a whole section of the Koran from school curriculum as it’s full of jihad incitement and violence. The Religion of peace”; and “I fucking hate pakis.”
Spike 2 – July 8th
11,320 Islamophobic tweets were sent on 8 July. Again, it is difficult to attribute this rise to one specific event, though this was the day after the shootings in Dallas, U.S., in which Micah Xavier Johnson shot and killed 5 police officers, wounded 7 others and wounded 2 civilians. Many tweets appeared to try and link this event to Islam. An example includes: “Obama is a damn Raghead explains a lot”.
Spike 3 – July 15th
21,190 tweets sent on 15 July were identified as Islamophobic. This was the day after the attack in Nice, in which an armed IS militant drove a truck through crowds of people celebrating Bastille Day; 84 people were killed and many more injured. Tweets sent on this day focused on the attack: “Sorry to hear about France- These muzzies just dont quit”; “and “Stop saying 'the majority are peace-loving'. Until the majority denounce every jihadi & turn them in, we are safer believing the evidence”.
Spike 4 – July 17th
10,610 tweets were sent on 17 July. This was the day after an attempted military coup in Turkey failed; a faction within the Turkish Armed Forces organised themselves under the ‘Peace at Home Council’. The Council cited the erosion of secularism as one reason behind the attempted coup. As such, some tweets commented on this: “That's the end of Turkey. Another country ruined by Islam and its terrorist culture. Same shit happened to Persia. Now its Islamic Republic”. Other tweets were more general: “France's Islamic population is at 9.6%. 10% is usually when Jihad begins. They're starting early because the French are so weak”; “ALL this because of the muzzie in the White House”.
Spike 5 – July 26th
8,950 tweets were sent on 26 July. This was the day of the Normandy church attack, in which IS militants killed Father Jacques Hamel, and seriously wounded another. Tweets sent on this day comment on this attack: “Normandy is reason 1488 that you should elect Marine Le Pen! > close borders > deport murderous Islam & Muzzies > deport the rioting negroes”; “So some sleazy scum committed jihad in the name of #Islam this time in Normandy but hey let's keep telling Muslims we love them”; and “Priest killed in #Normandy today by a Radical Islamic Terrorist yet Hillary says that Islam is peaceful! 1274 attacks this year=peaceful? Ok.”
OK, some of the tweets are ugly, but a lot of the examples quoted are not. Such as:
Stop saying 'the majority are peace-loving'. Until the majority denounce every jihadi & turn them in, we are safer believing the evidence”.
“That's the end of Turkey. Another country ruined by Islam and its terrorist culture. Same shit happened to Persia. Now its Islamic Republic”
“So some sleazy scum committed jihad in the name of #Islam this time in Normandy but hey let's keep telling Muslims we love them”
Priest killed in #Normandy today by a Radical Islamic Terrorist yet Hillary says that Islam is peaceful! 1274 attacks this year=peaceful? Ok.”
My fav Islamopbic quote is this one: "The Religion of peace."
A quote banded by the main steam media (the bBC used it today), which is used by others in an oxymoronic context. The irony here, whilst the liberal world acts like Chicken Licken at how the social cohesion of the world is going to end over 7,000 tweets, their poster boy Anjem Choudry had over 32,000 followers on Twitter, as many on You Tube, and until yesterday, Twitter and Google refused to take them down. Did anybody ever hear a complaint about his rabid stance? If anything, the bBC went out of its way to defend him:
Is preacher Anjem Choudary a radicalising force?
The newspaper campaign against Anjem Choudary
