Welcome to the latest issue of the BNP's Nationalist Jihad
Watch Bulletin, dedicated to exposing the truth about
the Muslim holy war against Britain and the entire non-Muslim
world.
1. MUSLIMS TELLING US HOW TO
RUN OUR SCHOOLS
http://www.dailyexpress.co.uk/news_detail.html?sku=1264
Demands for a ban on un-Islamic activities
in schools will be set out by the Muslim Council of Britain
today. Targets include playground games, swimming lessons,
school plays, parents evenings and even vaccinations.
And the calls for all children to be taught in Taliban-style
conditions will be launched with the help of a senior
Government education adviser. Professor Tim Brighouse,
chief adviser to London schools, was due to attend the
event at the capitals biggest mosque. His presence
there was seen as deeply worrying, and a sign
that the report was backed by the Government. Tory MP
Greg Hands said: The MCB needs to realise it has
to move closer to the rest of the community, not away
from it. The presence of Tim Brighouse implies Government
backing of this report.
This is very worrying. Terry Sanderson of the National
Secular Society said the report was a recipe for
disaster. He added: Schools with even just
a handful of Muslim kids will find they have to follow
these guidelines because there arent the staff to
have one set of classes for Muslims and another for the
rest. The MCB shouldnt try to force its religious
agenda on children who may not want it. The Government
needs to send the MCB packing. Schools should be about
teaching, not preaching. The report, Towards Greater
Understanding Meeting The Needs of Muslim Pupils
In State Schools, says all schools should bring in effective
bans for all pupils on un-Islamic activities
like dance classes. It also wants to limit certain activities
during Ramadan.
They include science lessons dealing with sex, parents
evenings, exams and immunisation programmes. The holy
month when eating and drinking is not allowed in
daylight hours should also see a ban on swimming
lessons in case pupils swallow water in the pool. When
swimming is allowed, boys should wear clothing covering
their bodies from the navel to the neck, even
during single-sex pool sessions, while girls must be covered
up completely at all times, apart from the face and hands.
The MCB adds that schools should ensure contact sports,
including football and basketball, are always in
single-gender groups. Even school trips are targeted
in the report, which wants them all to be made single-sex
to encourage greater participation from Muslim pupils.
It wants Arabic language classes for Muslim pupils, and
says the Koran should be recited in music classes. And
all schools should ensure they have prayer rooms with
washing facilities attached, it says. In art classes,
Muslim children should not be allowed to draw people,
as this is forbidden under some interpretations of Islamic
law. And while the MCB insists that all British children
should learn about Islam, it wants Muslims to have the
right to withdraw their children from RE lessons dealing
with Christianity and other faiths. The MCB says special
treatment and opt-outs are necessary because otherwise
Muslim pupils will feel excluded from school activities
and lessons.
The MCB claims to be the voice of Britains 1.5million
Muslims and was heavily courted by politicians including
Tony Blair following the September 11 attacks. Its former
secretary-general Iqbal Sacranie was awarded a knighthood
in 2005. But other Muslim groups criticised the report.
Dr Ghayasuddin Siddiqui of the Muslim Parliament of Great
Britain said: There has been no discussion on these
issues in the Muslim community.
And the Sufi Muslim Council which claims to represent
far more British Muslims than the MCB said the
report misunderstood Ramadan. It added: This is
not what Islam or Ramadan is about. Ramadan is about training
yourself while carrying on with everyday life. The
Department for Education tried to distance itself
from the report last night, and insisted Professor Brighouse
was attending the launch only in a personal capacity.
A spokesman said it would read the report with interest.
The MCB did not comment. It came as Britain's first Muslim
peer called for women to stop wearing veils, claiming
that they represent a barrier to integration.
Reigniting the debate over the face veil, or niqab, Lord
Ahmed of Rotherham said there was no religious reason
why Muslim women should wear them and claimed that
veils now cause society more harm than good. The peer,
who has urged the authorities to clamp down on preachers
of hate, spoke during a debate held in the heart of the
Arab world. He told a mainly Muslim audience in Doha,
Qatar, that he does not want a legal ban on the veil being
worn in public as many other nations are introducing,
including Muslim Turkey and Egypt.
But he said, The face veil is a barrier to integration
in the West. The veil is now a mark of separation, segregation
and defiance against mainstream British culture. Theres
nothing in the Koran to say that wearing a niqab is desirable,
let alone compulsory. Its purely cultural. Its
an identity thing which has been misinterpreted. They
were supposed to be worn so that women wouldnt be
harassed. But women, and communities as a whole, are now
being harassed because they are wearing them.' The Muslim
Council of Britains assistant secretary general,
Inayat Bunglawala, said yesterday: Peoples
attitudes are responsible for harming integration, not
veils. And wearing them is very much a matter for
individual Muslim women. The full document, setting
forth the outrageous Muslim demands, is here:

2. GOVERNMENT MAY BLOCK LONDON
SUPERMOSQUE
http://in.news.yahoo.com/070218/43/6c80o.htm
l The British government is likely to block plans to build
a 'supermosque' on a site close to the venue of the 2012
Olympics in east London. The supermosque, called London
Markaz, is supposed to have room for 70,000 worshippers.
The group behind the project is reported to be Tablighi
Jamaat, whose charitable trust, the Anjuman-e-Islahul
Muslimeen, owns the 18-acre site. According to the Sunday
Telegraph, the Tablighi Jamaat was called 'an ante-chamber
for fundamentalism' by French security services, and two
of the July 7 London suicide bombers had reportedly attended
one of its mosques. The report also said that the organisation
denied any link to terrorism, and noted that it had never
been banned. However, a senior security source told the
paper that he was concerned about the proposed mosque.
The planning application for the mosque is expected to
be turned down by the government.
An unnamed senior government source told the paper that
there were fears that the giant mosque could damage community
relations in the area, and added: 'We are going to stop
it.' One of the reasons for turning down permission to
build the mosque is that it is so close to the main Olympic
venue that it may interfere with preparations for the
Games. The government source told the paper that the planning
application needed to be rejected 'to give the Olympics
a clear run'. The report added that until recently, it
was expected that the permission would be granted after
the project was agreed in principle in 2001 between the
Newham Council and the Anjuman-e-Islahul Muslimeen. The
report said that the London Thames Gateway Unitary Development
Corporation, which has planning powers over the site,
and the London Development Agency had supported the plans.
A spokesperson of a lobbying firm hired by Tablighi Jamaat
said: 'Our client utterly refutes any links to terrorism.
It is a predominantly apolitical organisation seeking
to go about its faith in a peaceful way.' The report added
that Muslims living near the site in West Ham had raised
more than 3,000 signatures on a petition calling for the
project to be halted. The petitioners want any new mosque
to draw in all strands of Islam, it said. Alan Craig,
a Newham councillor for the Christian People's Alliance
party, warned of the 'community and security impact' that
the mosque would have, and claimed that Muslims were already
moving into the area in preparation for its opening. In
a separate move, the Kingsway International Christian
Centre, Europe's biggest evangelical church with a capacity
of 12,000, is being pulled down to make way for the Olympics,
the Sunday Telegraph added.
3. LONDON, MUSLIM CAPITAL OF
EUROPE?
http://www.cbn.com/CBNnews/83805.aspx
Some now call London the 'Muslim capital of Europe.' No
Western city has more mosques. And now London could be
home to the largest Mosque outside of the Middle East.
Today, a neglected piece of real estate on London's east
end sees little more than commuter trains rumbling past
it. But it's the future location of what some say will
be the biggest Islamic in-road into Christendom in 400
years: a gigantic mosque complex, the likes of which the
West has never seen. The land for the proposed mega-mosque
now only hosts a small building -- a make-shift mosque.
But imagine a huge modern Islamic complex right in London;
in effect, an Islamic village for worshippers.
A video from the Web site of the mosque architect Ali
Mangera shows what will be called the London Markaz, a
17-acre Islamic worship center for as many as 70,000 Muslims.
Planned to be the hub of an Islamic quarter for the 2012
London Olympics, it will dwarf many of Britain's Christian
cathedrals. Alan Craig of Christian Peoples Alliance said,
'It's going to be very large. It's going to be a mosque,
it's going to be an Islamic garden, there's going to be
a library, there's going to be residential accommodation.
Craig is a councilman for the London borough of Newham
where the mosque would be built. He's fighting it. 'I'm
not anti-Muslim,' Craig said. 'I'm a democrat. I believe
Muslims have the right to build mosques. But there's a
difference between your average mosque down the road,
and this monster mosque, this mega-mosque that they want
to build.' But it's not just the size of the mega-mosque
that's a concern. It's who's behind it -- a shadowy group
called Tablighi Jamaat. The FBI says that Tablighi Jamaat
has ties to al-Qaeda.
The shoe bomber, Richard Reid, was associated with Tablighi
Jamaat, as were two of the 7/7 bombers who struck London's
public transportation system in 2005. The money for the
project is coming from sources in the Middle East. Even
moderate British Muslims oppose the mosque, and have circulated
a petition against it. One of the leaders of the Muslim
opposition is Dr Irfan al-Alawi, who says the mosque will
be a security threat. Al-Alawi said, 'I think, yes. Once
the youth have been brainwashed, and been captured by
the satanic ideology of the Tablighis, yes, it will come
as a very hard-hitting movement.' But while some moderate
British Muslims may think the mega-mosque is a bad idea,
it has one important booster, the Mayor of London. 'The
person who is really behind it is Ken Livingstone,' al-Alawi
said. Far-left London Mayor Ken Livingstone, also known
as 'Red Ken,' has what some would describe as a pro-Islamist,
anti-Israel track record. He's called Ariel Sharon a 'war
criminal' and has said that British Muslims who go to
the Middle East and kill Israelis should not be called
terrorists.
The mega-mosque project might have sailed through before
9/11. But in 2007, Britain is now considered a major base
for homegrown Islamic terrorism. Newsweek reports that
Britons are traveling to Pakistan where they're being
trained to carry out terrorist attacks in the UK. Al-Alawi
says Pakistan is also where Tablighi Jamaat sends young
British-born Muslims to be brainwashed into extremism.
Al-Alawi asked , 'Is the British government really going
to turn a blind eye on that and say, let's go ahead and
give these people a chance? I don't think so. If they
want a 9/11 in England, then by all means.' But Melanie
Phillips, author of Londonistan, says the British left
still believes that accommodating radical Muslims will
somehow pacify them. 'It's taken the line of least resistance
and it, very foolishly in my view, believes that if you
give in to the demands being made by extremists, you kind
of make the problem go away,' explained Phillips. But
if anything, the 'problem' in Britain is growing.
Polls last year showed almost a quarter of British Muslims
believe the 7/7 London bombings were justified, and one
in three want to live under Sharia law. And those kinds
of headlines have helped galvanize grass-roots opposition
to the mega-mosque project. Councilor Craig, who lives
in a city with 300 mosques and 500 madrassahs, suggests
that Britain not allow any more mosques until Muslims
allow churches in Saudi Arabia. Craig said, 'Why should
the Saudis pay for a mosque in the UK when there is not
one single church, temple, goodwara, synagogue in Saudi
at all?' The spokesman for Tablighi Jamaat, Abdul Khalique,
refused an interview request by CBN News. But he told
the British press that the mega mosque '.will be something
never seen before in this country. It is a mosque for
the future, as part of the British landscape.' If the
mega-mosque is built, you can be sure of one thing: it
will be the symbol for the incredible growth of Islam
in Britain and in Western Europe.
4. ISLAM THREATENS CHURCH-STATE
SEPARATION
We fought one civil war, and endured centuries of Catholic-Protestant
conflict, to establish freedom of religion in this country,
but Islam threatens to undo all that, by destroying the
basic idea of religion being a persons private business.
http://www.speroforum.com/site/article.asp?idCategory=33&idsub=
124&id=8039&t=Islam+challenges+European+view+of+private+religion
The growth of Islam in Europe is challenging deeply-held
notions that faith is a private matter which should be
banished from public life, a prominent sociologist of
religion has told a gathering of European Christian leaders.
We ignore the presence of Islam at our peril,
Professor Grace Davie of the University of Exeter in Britain
told leaders from Europe's main Christian traditions at
a 15-18 February meeting in Wittenberg in Germany.
This is a catalyst for a much more profound change
in the religious landscape of Europe. Recent controversies
such as those about the wearing of the Muslim headscarf
by school students in France, or the publication of cartoons
depicting the Prophet Muhammad in Danish newspapers, were
cases in point, noted Davie, professor of sociology at
Exeter university and director of its centre for European
studies. The presence of Islam is a catalyst that
has reopened issues that Europeans thought were closed,
Davie said on 16 February. You cannot privatise
Islam.
We have seen that. But she said Christian churches
had a major task in helping to find ways to deal with
such public expression of religion. Davie was presenting
the results of recent research* on the place of religion
in Europe, in which she wrote about the controversy over
the cartoons: The lack of comprehension on both
sides of this affair, together with an unwillingness to
compromise, led alarmingly fast to dangerous confrontations,
both in Europe and beyond.
The notion that religion should be banished from public
life - and particularly from the state and from the education
system - was widespread in Europe, Davie noted. But in
part due to the presence of Islam, religion was increasingly
likely to penetrate the public sphere in Europe, a tendency
being encouraged by the ever more obvious presence of
religion in the modern global order. However, this was
probably more of a problem for the secular elite
than the Christian churches, Davie suggested in
her comments in Wittenberg.
She said, We need to grasp how to deal with religion
in the political sphere and here Christian churches have
a huge contribution to make. The Wittenberg meeting
is being organized by the Council of European (Roman Catholic)
Bishops' Conferences (CCEE) and the Conference of European
Churches (CEC), which groups most Anglican, Protestant
and Orthodox churches in Europe. It is one of a series
of events that will culminate in September in the Romanian
city of Sibiu at the Third European Ecumenical Assembly,
which will gather several thousand people from Europe's
main Christian traditions. Professor Grace Davie is the

5. MUSLIMS FORCING DISCRIMINATION
AGAINST 'INFIDELS' IN UK
http://www.bloggernews.net/14627
I wonder how long and how hard it was for the UK to outlaw
institutional discrimination in their country. It took
our country a civil war and 100 years of moral indignation
that eventually lead to amendments to our Constitution
and the Civil Rights Act of the 1960s. Now in service
to the rule of multiculturalism, the UK seems its
perfectly legal to give one sector of their society the
power to discriminate against others. I would be correct
in assuming that 50 years ago, if their was a rule against
white people swimming with black people, the British citizens
would rise up and protest en mass accusing that government
run entity of discrimination and bigotry. Well, times
have change sin the UK and discrimination is the order
of the day. In this case non-Muslims swimming with
Muslims.
The Daily Mail reports: When Lee Williams saw a parent-and-toddler
session advertised at his local pool, he thought it was
the perfect chance to teach his young daughter to swim.
Arriving at the leisure centre already in her swimming
costume, two-year-old Darby was desperate to get into
the water. But she was left in tears when staff said they
were not allowed in the pool because the session was for
Muslim women and their children only. But this not the
first incident of Muslim discrimination in the UK.
The incident is the latest in a series of rows between
local authorities and the public over swimming lessons
for ethnic minority groups. In December last year, Croydon
Council in South London came under fire for running Muslim-only
sessions at one of its leisure centres. Non-Muslim members
of Thornton Heath leisure centre were angry that they
could not swim during the Muslim-only sessions on Saturdays
and Sundays unless they obeyed the strict dress code.
For men, this involved wearing shorts which kept the navel
hidden and were extended below the knee, while women bathers
had to wear a swimming costume which covered their body
from the neck down to the ankle. Similarly, Wolverhampton
Council and South Lanarkshire local authority have also
been criticised for operating women- only swimming for
Muslims. This is not multicultural accomodation. What
we have here is one of the non-violent forms of jihad
in this case institutional jihad - working towards
the establishment of Shariah law in non-Muslim lands and
theyre unaware of their willing decent into dhimmitude.
6. BBC A PROPAGANDA TOOL FOR
ISLAMIST REGIME IN SOMALIA
Somalia may seem like an obscure problem, but jihad is
a global struggle, and the BBC is disturbingly often on
the wrong side of it, all over the world.
http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2007/02/somalis_charge_that_bbc_a_tool.html
A group of 260 Britons of Somali origin has submitted
a letter to the chairman of the BBC's board of governors,
charging that the BBC's Somali service has become a tool
of propaganda of the beseiged Islamist regime in
Somalia. Here is an excerpt from their letter, as picked
up by the websites Ummah News Links and SomaliNet. '...the
people in charge of the Somali Service are neither being
impartial, diverse in opinion nor fair in reporting the
reality in Somalia. On the contrary, they appear to be
taking sides and acting as tools of propaganda for the
Islamic Courts Union. 'In our opinion, a group of Islamic
Courts Union Supporters within the BBC Somali Service
are selectively choosing interviewees to express the opinion
of the group that the Islamic Courts Union are the chosen
liberators of the Somali people.
Thereby using the good offices of the BBC to campaign
for the newly emerged Taliban Style Forces. We know these
Forces as the New Somali Warlords who have replaced the
previous, now ousted Somali Warlords. The people in charge
of the BBC Somali Service is giving the activists of the
Islamic Courts Union a platform as a means of propaganda
for the purpose of poisoning, brain-washing and recruiting
young innocent Somali-Britons and other youth Muslims
in Britain, Somalia, and The East African Region, and
indeed World-wide. 'As you know, the ousted Somali Warlords
killed hundreds of thousands of innocent civilian Somalis.
Dismantled our country's physical infrastructure and social
fabric, and took Somalia back to the Stone Age. Their
activities were then confined in the Somali Territory.
But now these Islamic Courts, the New Warlords, are a
global threat, fanatic madmen, extremists and fundamentalists
who want and plan to wage war on everyone, every religion
& faith, including Islam.
They have declared JIHAD without understanding what JIHAD
is. They are only using Religion as a means to achieve
their goals through the implementation of far more deadly
and dangerous hidden agenda. I enclose a DVD Video demonstrating
the Islamic Courts Union's ideology and actions since
they seized power in Mogadishu and Southern Somalia Regions.
What has happened to the Journalism Ethics of the BBC
Somali Service? What has happened to the trusted and respected
core values of News Broadcasting that has always distinguished
the BBC from all the other Broadcasting Media? Are we
to understand that the ethics of the BBC Somali Service
are now the accepted ethics of the BBC.
