Islam - Europe > Met Police and Gov't not on the same page; BBC suspends several journos for antisemitism; Belgium Justice Minister resigns; Muslim threatens police with knives

..

The question is, how much influence does Sadiq Khan have over the Met Police? Would a non-Muslim mayor demand a different response from his city's police force to the antisemitic marches in London?




UK Immigration Minister: People chanting ‘jihad, jihad’

on London streets are ‘inciting violence’

Despite chants on London streets during a demonstration organized by the group Hizb ut-Tahrir, London’s Metropolitan police said that no offense worthy of arrest took place. The Met also admitted that “photos from the same protest” showed “signs and banners referring to ‘Muslim armies.’” The violence inherent in such signs leave no room to the imagination, especially when combined with shouts of “jihad.” Yet Met police still stated that “there are varying interpretations of what the language on the placards should be interpreted to mean.”

This is despite the aim of Hizb ut-Tahrir, which is to establish a global caliphate. Hizb ut-Tahrir Britain declares on its own website:

Our lead banner summarises what this demonstration is all about – “Muslim Armies! Rescue the People of Palestine”….. The time has come for the Muslims of the region to restore the Khilafah (caliphate) on the way of Prophethood.

A West Point document discusses the goal of the group Hizb ut-Tahrir to establish a caliphate, based on Sharia law. It goes on:

While it rejects violence at this time, it is open to waging jihad once a proper Islamic state is established with the purpose of creating a global Islamic caliphate.

The Qur’an and Hadith are clear about expanding Islam using violence. Western appeasers are aiding groups such as Hizb ut-Tahrir to accomplish their jihad goals on Western soil. Another much larger pro-Palestinian rally saw some 100,000 participants.

Immigration minister Robert Jenrick rightly stated that “people chanting ‘jihad’ on the streets of London are inciting terrorist violence and should be tackled with the full force of the law.” While Jenrick said that his view was consistent with that of the UK government, he also stated that it was an “operational matter for the police and the CPS [Crown Prosecution Service].” And herein lies the problem: the gap between what the government represents — which should be the rule of law — and the interpretation of it by the police and the CPS. So public safety ends up falling through the cracks.

The spinelessness of the Met is on full display in Sadiq Khan’s London, where the “Islamophobia canard” holds police hostage.

Jews in Western countries can no longer be said to be safe as aggressive pro-Palestinian groups are promoting violence while suffering no legal consequences, while Western apologists continue to gaslight the public with “interpretations” about what is obvious. Declarations about “jihad, jihad” and “Muslim armies” are obvious.

Chants were also reportedly heard in the Hizb ut-Tahrir demonstration praising Hamas “heroes.” Now some UK politicians want to ban the group in Britain (it is banned in many other countries). Such a move may be a start, but it would not be sufficient to control the aggressive Palestinian “resistance” movement, which is really a violent movement that aims to obliterate Israel from the River to the Sea. France, meanwhile, has banned pro-Palestinian protests altogether, and “vowed to protect Jews from resurgent antisemitism.”




People chanting ‘jihad’ in London ‘inciting violence’, says Robert Jenrick,” 

by Rowena Mason, Guardian, October 22, 2023:

People chanting “jihad” on the streets of London are inciting terrorist violence and should be tackled with the full force of the law, Robert Jenrick, the immigration minister, has said.

Jenrick’s comments appear to be at odds with the position of the Metropolitan police, which suggested this weekend that officers did not consider it to be against the law.

The Met said it had reviewed a video in which a man can be seen chanting “jihad, jihad” at a demonstration organised by Hizb ut-Tahrir in London on Saturday, and it had not identified any specific offences in the clip.

The Hizb ut-Tahrir rally was separate from a much larger pro-Palestine rally of about 100,000 people in London.

Jenrick said it was an operational matter for the police, but the government’s position was that chanting “jihad” was “completely reprehensible” and “inciting terrorist violence”.

Speaking to Sky’s Sunday Morning With Trevor Phillips, Jenrick said: “I never want to see scenes like that. It is inciting terrorist violence and it needs to be tackled with the full force of the law.

“Ultimately, it’s an operational matter for the police and the CPS [Crown Prosecution Service] whether to press charges. Arrests have been made … there have been arrests since the beginning of this situation. And we want to make sure that the police do everything that they can to protect British Jews.”….




It's been obvious to anyone who's paying attention that BBC's Middle East correspondents have been antisemitic for many years. Is BBC actually surprised by this, or are they reacting out of necessity?
 

BBC suspends several Arabic journalists for social media posts

endorsing Hamas terror attack



by Thomas Brooke, Remix News, October 16, 2023:

The BBC has suspended several of its journalists associated with the BBC Arabic news portal and launched an internal investigation into their actions after staff appeared to endorse Hamas’ terror attack in Israel.

Reporters working for the British taxpayer-funded corporation in the Middle East were found to have made several communications and interactions on social media in relation to the bloody offensive by Hamas that left more than 1,300 [1,400] Israeli civilians dead, sparking a number of complaints over perceived bias within the organization.

Perceived? Read obvious!

An independent investigation by the U.S.-based Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting and Analysis (CAMERA), reported its findings to the BBC, providing evidence of concerning behavior by several members of the organization.

One journalist allegedly described the atrocities committed by Hamas on Oct. 7 as a “morning of hope,” while another posted on X, formerly Twitter, that the attack had left “Israel’s prestige crying in the corner.”

Others, including Cairo-based correspondent Salma Khattab, liked a post describing Hamas as “freedom fighters,” while Beirut-based programs editor Nada Abdelsamad reposted footage of Israeli civilians in hiding who were described as cowering “inside a tin container in fear of the Palestinian resistance warriors.”

Another senior correspondent was reported to have poked fun at the relatives of an Israeli grandmother who was abducted by Hamas and is being held captive in Gaza.

In addition to the remarks of certain individuals, the impartiality of BBC Arabic’s output, both through its TV channel and news website, has been called into question after referring to towns within the recognized state of Israel as “settlements” and the local residents as “settlers.”

In total, six reporters and a freelance journalist have become the subject of an investigation into alleged anti-Israel bias, and some of those involved have been suspended.

Freelancer Aya Hossam liked a post that suggested that no Israeli could be classed as a civilian, as “every member of the Zionist entity served in the army at some point in his life, whether men or women, and they all had victims of explicit violations… This term ‘civilians’ applies to the animals and pets that live there and they are not seriously at fault.”

Hossam also reposted a comment that read, “The Zionist must know that he will live as a thief and a usurper.”…

Islam claims Abraham as father through the illegitimate Ishmail. Here is how God described Ishmail's descendants to his mother, Hagar: 

"He will be a wild donkey of a man, and his hand will be against everyone, and everyone’s hand against him; he will live in hostility toward all his brothers.” Genesis 16:12.


==========================================================================================


Most European countries have been hiding, covering up, the complete mishandling of Muslim migrants, some of whom are violent terrorists or child rapists, since 2015. There was bound to be a day of reckoning for this treasonous attitude toward national Europeans, and Belgium's Justice Minister seems to be the first real politician to recognize this as fact. For Europe's sake, I hope he is followed by many more.


Belgium’s justice minister resigns after Brussels terror attack

Guardian, October 20, 2023:

Belgium’s justice minister has resigned after it emerged that the Islamic extremist who shot dead two Swedes in Brussels this week had been denied asylum and was sought for extradition by Tunisia.


Justice minister Vincent Van Quickenborne said late on Friday that he and other officials had been searching for details to understand how Abdesalem Lassoued had disappeared off the map two years ago after being denied asylum.

“This morning at nine o’clock, I remarked the following elements: on 15 August, 2022, there was an extradition demand by Tunisia for this man,Van Quickenborne told reporters.

“This demand was transmitted on 1 September, as it should have been, by the justice expert at the Brussels prosecutor’s office. The magistrate in charge did not follow up on this extradition demand and the dossier was not acted upon,” he said.

This magistrate has blood on his hands whether he knows it or not.

“It’s an individual error. A monumental error. An unacceptable error. An error with dramatic consequences,” Van Quickenborne said in announcing that he had submitted his resignation to prime minister Alexander De Croo.

He should have charged the magistrate before doing that.

“I am not looking for any excuses. I think it’s my duty,” to resign, he said. “This new information coming from the prosecutors hits me deeply as I have done everything possible to improve the judicial system.”

On Monday night, Lassoued shot dead two Swedish men and wounded a third man with a semiautomatic rifle. The attack forced the lockdown of more than 35,000 people in a football stadium where they had gathered to watch Belgium play Sweden.

The 45-year-old attacker was fatally shot in a police operation on Tuesday.

Official documents showed Lassoued had lodged asylum applications in Norway, Sweden, Italy and Belgium…





Reims: A man armed with a knife screaming ‘Allah akbar’

arrested in front of the police station


Translated from “Reims : Un homme armé d’un couteau hurlant «Allah akbar» interpellé devant le commissariat,” 
by Stéphane Cazaux, Actu 17, October 23, 2023



A man showed up at the police headquarters in Reims (Marne) this Monday around 1 p.m. and threatened the police with several knives, shouting “Allah akbar”, Actu17 learned. He was subdued using an electric pulse gun (PIE) and arrested. There were no injuries reported.

The suspect, who was taken into custody, is already known to the police, according to several sources. His vehicle, parked not far from the police station, was inspected by the bomb squad and no dangerous object was discovered.

The SGP Police FO East Zone Unit union denounces a “despicable attempted attack,” and provides its support to the police officers at the Reims police station. “We salute our colleagues and congratulate them on the arrest of this individual,” reacts Éric Henry, national delegate of the Alliance Police Nationale union. “Fortunately they immediately brought him under control, otherwise, at the very least, a murder could have taken place. Proof of this is the importance of also being equipped with intermediate weapons. This demonstrates again and again that the police are targets because they represent the State, and beyond that, the Republic.”

But mostly they represent authority that is in conflict with Sharia and Jihad.

An investigation has been opened. The motivations and profile of this man will have to be clarified through the investigations.

As if they don't know that he is a radicalized Muslim and that's all the motivation he needs.
