The Islamization of the UK > The police and Islam in England - 2 stories; Muslim shoots university security guard with crossbow - not terrorism though

 

UK: Police Community Support Officer says ‘I was sacked from police for questioning Islam’


It is quite clear now that the British political elites have decided to allow for the Islamization of the country, apparently so as to (from their perspective) create a population that will be more accustomed to authoritarianism and less disposed to stand up for freedom and individual rights. How that will work out for them is eminently predictable, given the outcome of previous leftist/Islamic alliances, as in the Islamic Republic of Iran. But the British authorities don’t seem to realize that, and have adopted a policy of flat-out appeasement: Muslims in Britain are above the law, about accountability, and utterly beyond criticism, other than a few rape gang members and others who find themselves prosecuted (and are likely utterly bewildered by that fact) in order to allow authorities to present the appearance of still being evenhanded and administering equal justice for all.

Christian community police officer wins legal settlement after being suspended for questioning Islam during training

Christian Concern, June 5, 2026:

A Christian former police community support officer has won a legal settlement from North Yorkshire Police after taking legal action when he was forced out of his role and permanently barred from policing for asking questions about Islam during mandatory diversity training.

Luke Salmons, a former Police Community Support Officer (PCSO), brought legal claims against the Chief Constable of North Yorkshire Police, alleging the force unlawfully discriminated against him because of his Christian beliefs and violated his rights to freedom of religion and expression under the European Convention on Human Rights.

Supported by the Christian Legal Centre, the matter has now settled without the need for Mr Salmons to pursue his case to trial before the Employment Tribunal.

Mr Salmons’ case offers a rare insight into the level of political and ideological control being exercised through so‑called ‘diversity’ training within the UK police, raising serious concerns about freedom of religion, freedom of expression, and the treatment of Christians and other dissenting voices in public institutions.

Mr Salmons resigned during a prolonged suspension in May 2025 due to the severe impact the process was having on him and his family. Despite this, he was later dismissed for “gross misconduct” in July 2025 and placed on the Police Barred List, preventing him from ever working in policing again.

He brought claims including constructive dismissal, direct and indirect religious discrimination, harassment under the Equality Act 2010, and unlawful interference with his rights under Articles 9 and 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights.

His legal case argued that North Yorkshire Police operated a one‑sided interpretation of equality and diversity, excluding orthodox Christian beliefs while privileging others. Training sessions advertised as “safe spaces”, his claim stated, were only safe for views aligned with prevailing institutional ideology.

The case has now been settled on confidential terms.

“Islam is a religion of peace” mantra in training

The legal action centred on events beginning in autumn 2024, when Mr Salmons attended a compulsory pilot training programme intended to help develop a new North Yorkshire Police policy on race, religion and culture. The course was delivered by external trainers and presented as a “safe space” where officers were encouraged to ask challenging questions.

During one session on race, religion and culture, Mr Salmons recalls trainers repeatedly walking up and down the room chanting, “Islam is a religion of peace.”

“At that point,” Mr Salmons said, “it stopped being training and became indoctrination.”

He says training content focused heavily on Islam, with little or no attention given to Christianity. On another occasion, when asked to write a piece about Easter for the internal staff intranet, he was instructed that it could not include Bible verses.

Matters escalated on 8 October 2024 during a section of the Culture, Race and Religion course delivered by a Muslim police sergeant. Participants were explicitly told they were free to discuss difficult topics.

During the session, Mr Salmons asked the sergeant for his thoughts on the situation in Gaza and the Middle East, where Islamist groups such as Hamas commit atrocities in the name of Islam. Following that discussion, he asked a follow‑up question about how the sergeant understood the term “jihad”.

The exchange was respectful but robust. The sergeant engaged fully and later invited Mr Salmons to continue the conversation over coffee.

Mr Salmons referenced a widely published Christian book, Answering Jihad – A Better Way Forward by former Muslim and New York Times bestselling author Nabeel Qureshi. He later brought the book to work in case it was requested, but never offered it to anyone.

Sudden suspension and secret allegations

Despite reassurances that the sessions were safe spaces for free discussion, Mr Salmons was suspended on 10 October 2024, just two days later.

On a separate occasion, during antisemitism training where questions were openly encouraged, Mr Salmons was shut down by his inspector for asking relevant questions about how the government was tackling antisemitism….




UK: National Association of Muslim Police identifies Zionism as ‘manifestation of anti-Muslim hatred’


Once the National Association of Muslim Police is fully in charge of the police forces of shattered, staggering, dhimmi Britain, it will feel free to outlaw Zionism, and arrest and prosecute Jews and supporters of Israel accordingly. But that would never happen, right? Britain is a free society that values the freedom of speech and always will be. Won’t it?

Muslim police association identifies Zionism as ‘manifestation of anti-Muslim hatred’

Jewish News, June 5, 2026:

British Jewish groups have described their intention to raise serious concerns with government and law enforcement, after revelations that a policy paper from the representative body for Muslim police officers in the UK identifies Zionism as “one of the manifestations of anti-Muslim hatred”, refers to the IDF as a “Zionist terrorist group”, and describes “alarming and unverified stories about acts of violence” on 7 October.

As reported by The Spectator, the National Association of Muslim Police (NAMP) published the paper, written by its then-Vice President, Khaldoun Kabbani, last year. The NAMP is reportedly affiliated to more than a dozen police forces around the country, including West Midlands police, West Yorkshire police, Greater Manchester police and Police Scotland.

The policy paper in question also claims that “Zionists” are guilty of “misuse of the Holocaust” when describing the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, before going on to misuse it themselves, saying that “the process of dehumanisation by the Nazis towards the Jewish people highlights a broader mechanism of oppression, where dominant groups suppress empathy through propaganda and indoctrination to facilitate cruelty. This mechanism is not confined to the past but is observed in contemporary conflicts, such as the situation between the Israeli Government and Military and Palestinians.”

As The Spectator describes, the NAMP document refers to “Zionist terrorist groups including the IDF” and says that “Zionism represents one of the manifestations of anti-Muslim hatred, stripping Muslims of their humanity.”

The paper claims that “Zionist terrorist groups” committed 16 different “genocides” against Palestinians between 1948 and the present day, while containing no mention of the killings carried out by Palestinians during the same period….

UK: Muslim migrant shoots university official in stomach with crossbow, cops say its not ‘terror-related’


When the police say that an incident involving a Muslim committing an act of violence is not terror-related, they generally mean that the perpetrator is not a known member of a jihad terrorist group. Incidents in which the perp screamed “Allahu akbar,” had a Qur’an in his backpack, etc., are often dismissed as “not terror-related” because of this lack of any connection to jihad groups; the idea of a “lone wolf” jihad attack is often ignored, despite the frequent calls from the Islamic State (ISIS) and al-Qaeda to Muslims in the West to commit such attacks.

Anyway, so Almunthir Daqamah’s crossbow attack is not terror-related. There is also the fact that as a Saudi national, Daqamah grew up in a culture that teaches that the only and only god commands his followers to commit acts of violence in certain cases, and that such violence in those cases is considered a holy act that will receive a reward in paradise. In light of that, is it really all that surprising that in response to a personal setback, he would resort to violence?

This Week's Islamic Massacres > Fulani Muslims Kill 8 Christians, Injure 15 in central Nigeria; ISIS-linked ADF murder 16 in DRC

 

Nigeria: Muslims attack Christian farming community, murdering eight Christians and injuring 15 others


No airstrikes will end this war. No negotiated agreement will end this war. No UN declaration will end this war. No declaration of victory from Trump will end this war. This war is an Islamic jihad, and it has no end. If somehow the jihadis in Nigeria are stopped now, they will regroup and return to the field when they can. They will not give up their jihad, because the imperative to wage war against non-Muslims is in the Qur’an. This war will only when there are no more believers in Muhammad, and there will likely be believers in Muhammad until the end of the world, barring some mass and miraculous conversion.


Fulani Muslims Kill 8 Christians, Injure 15

International Christian Concern, June 1, 2026:

 


Suspected Fulani gunmen attacked a Christian farming community in central Nigeria’s Plateau state on Sunday evening, killing eight Christians and injuring at least 15 others, according to residents and government officials.

The attack occurred in Gwomjang, a predominantly Christian village in Kadunu Ward of Mangu Local Government Area, near the town of Gindiri. The community lies within Nigeria’s Middle Belt. This region has experienced years of violence involving armed attacks on rural communities, disputes over land use, and growing insecurity affecting farmers and civilians.

Residents said the attackers entered the village at about 7:30 p.m. on May 31, shortly after church activities had ended. According to local witnesses, many residents were returning to their homes following evening worship services and a women’s prayer meeting when gunfire erupted.

“After church service and after the women had finished their prayer meeting, people were returning to their homes as it was getting dark,” said Dung Ezekiel Sunday, the youth leader of Gwomjang and an eyewitness to the attack. “At that time, gunshots were heard in the community.”

According to community leaders, the gunmen opened fire on civilians before fleeing the area. Four men and four women were killed, while the 15 wounded sustained injuries ranging from gunshot wounds to other trauma-related injuries. Survivors were rushed to a nearby medical facility for emergency treatment.

“The entire community was thrown into confusion,” Ezekiel said. “From what we saw during the incident, the attackers were believed to be Fulani men. We have lived with our neighbors for many years, and in the past, we maintained peaceful relations with them.”

Residents said the attackers approached from the direction of a nearby settlement and retreated along the same route after carrying out the assault. Villagers contacted soldiers stationed in the area shortly after the attack began, but residents said security personnel arrived after the gunmen had already fled.

“We contacted soldiers stationed in Kadunuwa, but they arrived around 10 p.m., after the attackers had already left,” Ezekiel said….




Democratic Republic of the Congo: Muslims murder 16 people in jihad raid on village


As always, the goal is to terrorize the non-Muslims into converting to Islam or leaving the area. This is how the Islamic world was created. The imperative has never been reformed or rejected, and obviously some Muslims continue to pursue it.
