(Newcastle) Muslim students at Newcastle University didn’t like it when
the sole prayer room on the campus was made into a multi-faith prayer room. So
in the time honoured way of Muslims in the Uk, they held a prayer protest
outside against a university’s plans to make them share.
It all began earlier this year, when Newcastle University
announced the temporary closure of its Muslim prayer space, over the summer
while they removed asbestos from ducts. When it reopened- The room had new
operating times - The room is now only open on weekdays and between 8am and 1pm
on Saturdays- and it was turned into a multi-faith space . Not happy with this Newcastle
University’s Islamic Society which want to keep managing the room themselves
and are demanding the university overturn its current decision to convert the
Muslim prayer space to a multi-faith space.
In order to get their way Muslim students took part in a
public prayer session outside the King George VI building in al protest against
the move. They claim the current facility is already overflowing, with students
often having to perform Friday prayers outside the building due to a lack of
space, and there is “realistically no capacity to house other faiths’ societies
on the same premises”.
Newcastle University has issued the following statement:
“To address its long-term faith space needs, the university
is forming a Multi Faith Space Task and Finish Group, which will look at the
needs of all faith groups within the university with the aim of ensuring
equitable faith space provision, commensurate with a higher education
institution setting. It has provided an interim Faith Space Facilities manager,
who will ensure that all faith spaces are managed in line with the 2009
Guidance for use and the 2016 Faith Space Policy, as well as supporting the
University’s aim to try to meet its faith space needs. Currently the only
dedicated faith space is the prayer room in King George VI exclusively provided
for our Muslim students and staff. The sensitive issue of use of the prayer
room by any other faiths will be reviewed by the Task and Finish Group.”
(London) The British Labour Party is the official opposition to the UK government. It is a socialist party whose mission statement is as follows:
The Labour Party is a democratic socialist party. It believes that by the strength of our common endeavour we achieve more than we achieve alone, so as to create for each of us the means to realise our true potential and for all of us a community in which power, wealth and opportunity are in the hands of the many, not the few, where the rights we enjoy reflect the duties we owe, and where we live together, freely, in a spirit of solidarity, tolerance and respect.
Note the ending which states:
Where we live together, freely, in a spirit of solidarity, tolerance and respect.
Currently, the party is under a huge media spotlight due to the fact that so many of its members subscribe not to the valves in the above mission statement but rather to the mindset of National Socialism aka the Nazi party when it comes to people of the Jewish faith. The thing is, rather than admit it has an anti-Semitic problem within its ranks, the Labour party, like all nasty evil groups, plays the victim card by blaming everybody and anybody in which to try and dodge the bullet. But how has a party, which claims to respect everybody and treat everybody the same, become so polarized towards the Jewish people. That is easy to answer - the Labour party exists on the votes of people, and as its membership has fallen, it has targeted new groups in which to remain credible, groups such as Britain's ever expanding Muslim population which tends to vote on mass exactly as they have been told to do so by their statesmen (mullahs, public bodies, peer pressure). The Labour party, thankful of this block vote, in return keeps them sweet by supporting Islamic causes and remaining silent on the uglier side of Islam (remaining silent on thousands of rapes in one British city alone, remaining silent on the hundreds of thousands if cases of FGM in the UK, which has been banned since 1985 (not one prosecution yet), homophobia, sexism, and of course anti-Semitism.
Last week, the Labour party dragged its feet in suspending that racist bigot Ken Livingstone after he claimed that Hitler was a Zionist. In fact, it first went for Labour MP John Mann who was caught on film calling Livingstone a Nazi apologist, rather than tackle the weasel. Which is strange as Livingstone has been openly anti-Semitic for years:
In 1982, Livingstone, the editor of the Labour Herald, published this cartoon:
And he has the neck to claim that in all his time he has never witnessed anti-Semitism within the Labour party in all his years.
The other month, Labour Party member Gerry Downing was suspended over his support (yes, support) for the idiots who carried out 9/11, the same Gerry Downing who tweeted this:
Also the other month, a chairman of the Oxford University Labour Club (Alex Chalmers) resigned stating that a large proportion of members “have some kind of problem with Jews”. He alleged that some members had expressed support for the terrorist group Hamas.
Vicky Kirby the Vice-chair of Labour's Woking branch is currently being investigated for the second time after her anti-Semitic tweets in 2014.
The above is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to anti-Semitism within the Labour Party. Why, the current leader Jeremy Corbyn not only has had 3 holidays in Gaza paid for by Interpal (banned in the US due to its links with Islamic terrorism), a paid holiday in Iran, he supports Hamas, Hezbollah, regularly shares political platforms with radical Islamists and even invites them for tea at Parliament. He also hosts a show on Iranian Press TV. Here is a snapshot of what he promotes:
So with the leader of the Labour party, a card carrying anti-Semite, why are we not surprised by the rash of hatred from within its ranks towards the Jewish people? But the thing is, these people who scream left, right and centre about racism every chance they get, are unable to accept that actually they have become the biggest racists going. Corbyn the other day came out with this:
“No, there is not a problem. We are totally opposed to anti-Semitism in any form within the party. The very small number of cases that have been brought to our attention have been dealt with swiftly and immediately, and they will be."
Today, the women who he had an affair with, who he gave the plum job of the shadow international development secretary to, and who sent her son to a private school whilst being part of a government which wanted to get rid of private schools (her excuse was, black mothers care more for their children), today opined on national TV that the Labour party was being smeared with allegations of anti-Semitism:
Yes, the party, which subscribes to the POV that everybody can only be equal, has the view that Muslims are superior to everybody else and that Jews are lower, and they don't have the balls to admit to their open hatred by claiming they have been smeared.
(WT) Calling things by their right names is a prerequisite for seeing them as they really are. Last spring I spoke at more than half a dozen universities, including Ohio State and Stony Brook, where I was confronted by mobs of students cheering Hamas, a terrorist organization whose declared goal is the extermination of the Jews. And this is only the tip of the iceberg. On virtually every major university campus in America organizations exist whose leadership is dedicated to spreading the propaganda lies of Hamas designed to weaken and delegitimize the Israeli state, and promoting Hamas campaigns like Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) whose goal is its destruction.
The two leading organizations in this terrorist proxy campaign are the Muslim Students Association (MSA), which poses as a cultural group but is really a recruiting tool for its founding group, the Muslim Brotherhood, and Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), which was also created by a Brotherhood operative and takes an even more aggressive pro-terrorist role on campus defending Hamas rocket attacks on Israel and advancing its propaganda wars.
There are many ways to criticize Israeli policy, both reasonably and unreasonably. But what distinguishes these two groups is the relentless adherence of their members to the propaganda lines — and lies — of the terrorist organization Hamas, and their unwavering defense of Hamas’ aggressive wars against Israel and the Jews. A prominent slogan of SJP and MSA, chanted at ritual campus protests, is “From the River to the Sea Palestine will be Free.” The river is the Jordan, the eastern boundary of Israel, the sea is the Mediterranean, its western boundary. These groups are committed to the destruction of the Jewish state — an act of genocide.
It is true that some chapters of the Muslim Students Association, which is a sponsor of the Israel-hate fests called “Israeli Apartheid Week,” do not participate in these political activities. But name one of them who has dissociated itself from their hateful agendas.
Even more telling is an infamous panel of four maps which is a standard feature of the “apartheid walls” (another Hamas propaganda lie — the security fence is designed to keep terrorists out, not ethnic groups) that are centerpieces of their protests. The first map shows a green state called Palestine with the date 1947. There was no state called Palestine (indeed there was no people calling themselves Palestinians) in 1947. The next three maps with expanding patches of white purport to show the infiltration and occupation of the non-existent Palestinian state by the colonialist Jews. These lies are easily checked. There is no occupation by Israel of Arab land. Israel was created the same way Jordan, Lebanon, Iraq and Syria were created — on land that belonged to the Turks for 400 years previously.
The fidelity of the Muslim Students Association and Students for Justice in Palestine to Hamas’ genocidal agendas is no mystery since both were created by agents of the Muslim Brotherhood. The mystery is why American universities like Brandeis, UCLA and scores of other schools are funding operations of a terrorist organization to conduct Jew-hating propaganda on American campuses. Any other group that preached hatred of ethnic groups or supported barbaric terrorists who slaughter men, women and children as part of a demented mission to cleanse the earth of infidels would face campus sanctions, disciplinary action, and be charged with conduct code violations. But these two groups, hiding behind the rhetoric of diversity and the cloak of political correctness, are instead lauded by university administrators, granted university offices, departmental funding for their hate-fests and a stage for their terrorist-supporting propaganda.
To expose this travesty and raise these questions the David Horowitz Freedom Center has launched a campaign (www.stopthejihadoncampus.org) on American campuses. The campaign has issued a report on “The 10 Colleges Most Friendly to Terrorists.” These include San Francisco State whose students scrawled “My Heroes Have Always Killed Colonizers” across the concrete stage at an anti-Israel rally. They include UCLA, where student government officers attempted to bar candidates for student government from accepting trips to Israel sponsored by pro-Israel organizations. They include Harvard University whose Dining Services administrators made a unilateral decision to ban products from the Israeli company SodaStream; and Rutgers University, whose Students for Justice in Palestine chapter displayed signs calling for a new Intifada (terrorist attack) against Israel at a recruitment drive.
It is a mistake to assume that these hate groups will be satisfied with mere rhetoric. Numerous leaders of the Muslim Students Association have gone on to high-level positions in al Qaeda and other terrorist organizations. The most notorious of these was Anwar al-Awlaki, the head of al Qaeda in Yemen, who inspired the Fort Hood massacre and who before that was president of the Muslim Students Association at Colorado State. A recent student leader of the General Union of Palestinian Students at San Francisco State University spoke openly on social media about his desire to stab Israeli soldiers and leave school to join the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, a terrorist group waging war against Israel. His postings led the Joint Terrorism Task Force and the FBI to place him under investigation. How many other student leaders are out there who are less forthcoming about their desires?
