More Muslim Mosque Bigotry - This Time By "Women Preachers" - Caught On Film

In a follow-up to the infamous Dispatches documentary of last year that showed hidden camera footage of the hate and extremism being taught in British mosques, Channel 4 returned in secret to the Regent's Park mosque in London and found that nothing has changed - except for the fact that women are now preaching hate, as well.

During one sermon, a woman called Um Amira says: ‘He is Muslim, and he gets out of Islam...what are we going to do? We kill him, kill, kill.’

"Whoever changes his Islamic religion, then kill him." (Bukhari v.9, b.88, no.6922, and others)

In the programme, to be screened tomorrow, she adds that women adulterers should be stoned to death.

Islamic law's prescription for adulterers is indeed death by stoning, which Muhammad himself recommended and practised on a few occasions.

One Saudi woman, who mocks other religions, says: ‘We feel nothing sometimes going past the church. What they say with their tongues is so vile and disgusting, it’s an abomination.’

As a Muslim, she may well believe this, since in Islam Christians are viewed as polytheists. In Islam, polytheism is called shirk, and is the worst crime any human being can commit: "Allah forgiveth not that partners should be set up with Him; but He forgiveth anything else, to whom He pleaseth; to set up partners with Allah is to devise a sin Most heinous indeed." Vile and disgusting, indeed.

What the hell have the police been doing all this time since the alarming findings of the previous Dispatches show? Except for trying to arrest the film-makers, that is.

More on the Amateur "Anti-Racism" Concert

In yesterday's round-up I included a story about three teenage girls who were organising their own anti-racism concert in imitation of the equally pointless mainstream ones.

The girls came under some criticism for this. One anonymous commenter said: "Unite Against Fascism specialises in targeting towns and cities that are experiencing friction between different ethnic communities or else where it considers the 'white' community to be getting too uppity, in order to put across its own deluded fantasies about how the world should be.

"This usually begins with a free music concert to attract local youngsters. This is followed up by meetings, demonstrations and rallies in the target town."

One of the girls has responded to this in the article. Read it yourself and then make up your own mind. Personally, the issue with me is still: how the hell is a live performance by Tat Supreme - whoever the hell that is - going to end racism, or even prevent ONE PERSON from being racist?

Round-up

1. The NHS has been accused of racism after figures showed applicants from ethnic minorities find it harder to get a job, are more likely to be bullied if they do and have more grievances taken out against them.

Are you kidding? I've been to the hospital quite a few times in my life and I only remember ever having ONE British doctor in all that time.

2. Fighting ignorance is the aim of three Kenilworth teenagers who have organised their own music festival. Castle sixth form students Camilla James, Alex Shearn and Katrina Farrell, 17, were inspired to hold their own Love Music Hate Racism event after attending a concert in London. Indie band The Dandilions, who played at the Reading Festival in 2007, Coventry rapper Tat Supreme and Kenilworth band Revelers Riot, will perform at Abbey Fields on Saturday.

Whoooooo! Go, Dandilions! Go, Tat Supreme! No one's ever heard of you, but I'm sure you'll manage to end racism if you play a rockin' show!

Now Those Who Oppose Cannibalism Are Racists

A study of Maori cannibalism by historian Paul Moon has prompted a racism complaint to the Human Rights Commission of New Zealand. Sent anonymously to Dr Moon, the complaint said This Horrid Practice "describes the whole of Maori society as violent and dangerous. This is a clearly racist view claiming a whole ethnic group has these traits". The commission said books and publications were covered by the Human Rights Act, however there was a high threshold that had to be met to prevent unwarranted incursion into the right to freedom of expression.

Released in August, the book posits that consuming vanquished enemies' mana had little to do with the underlying reason for Maori cannibalism. Instead cannibalism, in pre-colonial times, was simply about "rage and humiliation". Dr Moon said he was disappointed that a complaint had been made: "I spent several years researching this book, using an enormous body of documentation, and I am not about to denounce it just because it upsets a few people."

Good on him.

The issue here seems to be that Dr. Moon dared to portray Maori cannibals in a negative light. Because we should be sensitive to their "culture", you see. We should take their "cross-cultural context" into account. Such morally relativistic rubbish is getting tiresome. All cultures are not the same. I know that in the liberal mind white Western culture is evil while all others are the same, but that's not how it works. A society that eats each other is a barbaric one, and no amount of explaining will change that. And the fact that they are black Maoris doesn't exempt them from being barbaric. Their culture may simply be worse than ours. End of story.

Back...

So I'm back from two weeks in sunny Cyprus. I should forewarn you now that I have a lot going on in the next few weeks, so posting is going to be light, I'm afraid. I'm going to try to keep posting through it anyway, but don't be surprised if I just suddenly disappear for a week without explanation.

Anyway, here's a picture I took while I was away of Aphrodite's Rock at sunset. Not a bad pic, if I do say so myself.

Off On Holiday

I will be away on holiday in sunnier climes for the next two weeks, as of tomorrow, so I won't be posting anymore for at least that amount of time.

To celebrate this fact, and to mark my final post before I go away, here's something completely off-topic but beach-related. Enjoy!

(No nudity, but some pretty sleazy porno text in the video description)

Some Amusement

Apologies for the lack of posting over the last week or so. To make up for it, here's something race-related and slightly amusing, from the website Newsgroper (which carries the tagline, "These blogs are not real"). Here is a post from "Bill Clinton":

It's hard to believe that just eight short years ago I was America's first black president, and now I'm being called a racist.

Just because I sent my grandma "Mammaw" a funny postcard showing a stereotypical black boy eating watermelon, does that make me a racist? Heck, no. So I decided to take a home racism test, sort of like a home pregnancy test, to see if I'm a racist. And I'm happy to report that the results came back negative. Here's how I did:

Play saxophone? Yes, 5 points. Sound more like Boots Randolph than Charlie Parker, deduct three points.

Eat fast food? Yes, 5 points. Jog there instead of driving Cadillac Escalade, deduct two points.

Raised by single mom? Yes, 5 points. Single mom white, deduct one point.

Wife has big booty? Yes, 5 points. Plenty of girlfriends on the side, add ten points.

Total score: 24 points! That's better than Al Sharpton did! That's the kind of weighted GPA that can get you into Georgetown and Yale Law School.

Unless you're black, in which case you only need to score like, 19.

Round-up

1. There is no racism at the University of Johannesburg's Dromedaris residence, and a black student was nicknamed "charcoal" because he had sullied a piece of paper. This was the message from the house committee of the residence after an alleged racist attack took place there. A third-year student, Apiwe Fali, said some black students in the residence felt misrepresented because they did not feel there was a problem of racism. House committee chairperson Brett Claassens said there are political bodies in the university that seem to have an axe to grind with the residence and are pursuing an ulterior political motive.

2. Non-story alert: A Wigan-based artist is at the centre of a race row over a new sculpture. The work by Paulajaine Goodwin, which depicts a black clenched fist, was designed as a powerful statement about slavery. But the sculpture, part of a £15,000 project to improve Seymour Park in Trafford near Manchester, has been accused of having racist overtones and community chiefs asked that it be remodelled. Residents claimed the statue was a "black power salute" reminiscent of the gloved salute made by sprinters Tommie Smith and John Carlos on the podium at the Mexico Olympics in 1968. The sculpture has now been redesigned following the public outcry.
