Islam and violence

The moment a female police officer was left sobbing and bleeding after being punched in the face during a brawl at Manchester Airport, was shown today in court.

Constable Lydia Ward told of being ‘terrified’ after coming under attack – as new police footage of the incident was entered in evidence.

She was one of three officers who went to arrest Mohammed Fahir Amaaz at Terminal Two last July.

This video of PC Lydia Ward, after being punched at Manchester airport, raises serious questions regarding women being front line police officers.
Yes, it was a violent and despicable attack, but doesn't this highlight major flaws in our policing ability?

Not kicked enough.

Manchester Airport brawl from last year.

Brothers Mohammed Fahir Amaaz and Muhammad Amaad allegedly assaulted cops after a Starbucks scuffle—punching, headbutting, even breaking a female officer's nose. The viral clip showed police fighting back hard, but fuller CCTV reveals… pic.twitter.com/GeQQACpnxr

Fuelled by Islamists and their progressive enablers, sectarianism is creeping into the mainstream.

Across Europe, a new kind of politics is taking root. It is sectarian, identitarian, and increasingly shaped by the demands of Islamist interest groups, cloaked in the demands of progressivism and tolerance.

Sweden is a case in point. Jamal el-Haj, a Lebanese-born Swedish politician, was expelled from the Social Democratic Party last year after it was revealed he had intervened in an asylum case on behalf of a fundamentalist imam back in 2017. He had also previously attended a conference in Malmö in the spring of 2023 that had connections to Hamas, the Islamist terror group and perpetrators of the October 7th pogrom in southern Israel later that year.

The Home Office has dismissed an application by Hamas to be removed from the list of banned terrorist organisations.

The Islamist Palestinian group, which led the October 7 attacks that killed about 1,200 Israelis, launched a legal challenge in April claiming the designation breached the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR).

The proscription makes it a criminal offence to have any association with or show support for the group in the UK.

They should have tried a sympathetic nation like Canada first in order to gain momentum.

Toss a few votes at Carney and it’s all fixed.

A Muslim media watchdog wrongly labelled coverage of Islamist terror attacks as “Islamophobic”, a report has claimed.

Policy Exchange, a think tank, said that factual news reports of such incidents had been assessed by the Centre for Media Monitoring (CfMM) as examples of “Islamophobic, negative” journalism.

Those criticised by the centre, which was originally a Muslim Council of Britain project but is now an independent entity, include the Associated Press, a leading news agency, after it reported on a terror attack in Manchester on New Year’s Eve in December 2018.

Police carried out raids across North Rhine-Westphalia state in connection with a suspected Islamist terror plot. A man has been detained on suspicion of fraud with the intention of financing an Islamist terror attack.

Today marks the 20-year anniversary of the most lethal terrorist attack on British soil of this century so far: the 7/7 London Bombings. It was the first Islamist suicide attack in the UK, and the deadliest act of terror since the 1988 Lockerbie bombing. Even though I was a 15-year-old schoolboy at the time, I remember the 7/7 attacks as if they were yesterday. Fifty-two people were murdered, with a further 784 injured, by four jihadists: Mohammad Sidique Khan, Shehzad Tanweer, Shehzad Tanweer and Germaine Lindsay. Three were British-born sons of Pakistani Muslim migrants, with the other being a Jamaica-born convert to Islam.

A Shiite Ashura procession held on Sunday, July 6th, near Milan’s central station has sparked fierce public backlash over the treatment of women participants.

A new generation is being radicalised

The grandiose Makkah Masjid Mosque in Leeds marked an impressive contrast with the surrounding terraced properties, as I walked through the tightly packed red-brick Victorian streets leading onto Royal Park Road. While the austere, graffitied houses still bore signs of poverty and neglect, their metal security gates indicating a grim sense of insecurity, the mosque stood as an oasis of calm and tranquillity.

This down-at-heel cosmopolitan community, home to immigrants, artists and students, had always been poor but peaceful. Yet on that afternoon 20 years ago, something had changed. The atmosphere was tense: the familiar sounds of Asian music, reverberating from youthful sound systems, had been replaced by a chorus of police sirens, and the colourful aura of the storefronts was lit up by flashing blue lights.
