.The issue is not hate preachers visiting the UK from abroad. While banning them from campuses will leave them with fewer venues, it by no means solves the larger issue, which is that they will continue their Dawah or proselytizing elsewhere.The question probably should be: Based on available evidence, are those assessments of Islam accurate? Particularly compared to current messages that seemingly are considered 'conducive to the public good.' .At around the same time as the two neo-Nazi groups were banned at the end of September 2017, Home Secretary Amber Rudd refused to ban Hezbollah's political wing in the UK. Hezbollah itself, obviously, does not distinguish between its 'political' and 'military' wings.

In other words, you can go ahead and support Hezbollah in the UK, no problem. Support the far right and you can end up in jail for a decade. Apparently, 112 events featuring extremist speakers took place on UK campuses in the academic year 2016/2017, according to a recent by Britain's Henry Jackson society: 'The vast majority of the extreme speakers recorded in this report are Islamist extremists, though one speaker has a background in Far-Right politics.'
That one speaker was Tommy Robinson both of whose events were cancelled, one due to hundreds of students planning to demonstrate to protest his appearance. The report does not mention student protests at any of the Islamist events.The of the Islamist speakers included:'Dawah Training. To teach students the fundamentals of preaching to others. Western foreign policy towards the Islamic world in general. Grievances.perceived attacks on Muslims and Islam in the UK.
calling for scrapping of Prevent and other government counter-extremism measures critiquing arrest and detention of terrorism suspects. challenging ideas such as atheism and skepticism. Religious socio-economic governance, focusing on the role of religion in fields such as legislation, justice. Religious rulings or interpretations, religious verses or other texts, important historical or scriptural figures.' London was the region with the highest number of events, followed by the South East, according to the report. The most prolific speakers were affiliated to the Muslim Debate Initiative, the Islamic Education and Research Academy (iERA), the Muslim Research and Development Foundation (MRDF), the Hittin Institute, Sabeel, and CAGE. Most speakers were invited by Islamic student societies, and a high proportion of the talks took place during campus events such as 'Discover Islam Week', 'Islam Awareness Week' and 'Islamophobia Awareness Month'.One of the most prolific speakers, Hamza Tzortis, is a senior member of iERA.

He has that apostates who 'fight against the community. should be killed' and that, 'we as Muslims reject the idea of freedom of speech, and even the idea of freedom'.That so many extremist speaker events continue to take place at British universities should be cause for alarm. In March 2015, the Counter-Terrorism and Security Act (CTSA) imposed a on universities, among other public bodies, to pay 'due regard to the need to prevent individuals from being drawn into terrorism', yet at 112 events last year, the number of extremist Islamist events on campuses significantly. In comparison, there were 132 events in 2012, 145 events in 2013 and 123 events in 2014.shows that the danger of becoming an actual Islamic terrorist while studying at British university campuses is also extremely real.
According to one, also by the Henry Jackson society:'Since 1999, there have been a number of acts of Islamism-inspired terrorism. Committed by students studying at a UK university at the time of their offence.there have also been a significant number of graduates from UK universities convicted of involvement in terrorism, and whom.
Were at least partially radicalised during their studies'.The most well known case is probably that of Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh, who in 2002 was found guilty of the kidnapping and murder of journalist Daniel Pearl. He is believed to have been radicalized while studying at the London School of Economics and Political Science in the early 1990s.While removing extremist speakers from campuses might possibly reduce the risk of radicalization, extremist speakers are readily available to talk to Muslim youths outside of campuses. The issue is not hate preachers visiting the UK from abroad. While banning them from campuses will leave them with fewer venues, it by no means solves the larger issue, which is that they will continue their dawah or proselytizing elsewhere.What, then, have been recent responses by the British government to the issues of Islamic radicalization and terrorism?One response has been a to tighten existing law on viewing 'terrorist content' online. People who repeatedly view terrorist content online could now face up to 15 years jail, Home Secretary Amber Rudd has announced. The law will also apply to terrorists who publish information about members of the armed forces, police and intelligence services for the purposes of preparing acts of terrorism. Tightening the law around viewing terrorist material is part of the counter-terrorism strategy the government is reviewing after the increased frequency of terrorist attacks in Britain this year.Britain's Home Secretary Amber Rudd has announced that people who repeatedly view 'terrorist content' online could now face up to 15 years jail.
(Image source: UK Government/Flickr)Amber Rudd has 'far-right propaganda' in the new law, saying:'I want to make sure those who view despicable terrorist content online, including jihadi websites, far-right propaganda and bomb-making instructions, face the full force of the law.' What is 'far right propaganda?' Based on previous British policies, 'far right propaganda' would likely include reading Robert Spencer's Jihad Watch or Pamela Geller's 'Geller Report'. While local hate preachers from legal Muslim organizations freely roam UK campuses, Robert Spencer and Pamela Geller were both forbidden entry to the UK in 2013 by the British Home Secretary, because their presence would 'not be conducive to the public good'. This is what Geller was:'After careful consideration.you should be excluded from the United Kingdom on the grounds that your presence here is not conducive to the public good.You have brought yourself within the scope of the list of unacceptable behaviours by making statements that may foster hatred, which might lead to inter-community violence in the UK.You co-founded Stop Islamization of America, an organization described as an anti-Muslim hate group. You are reported to have stated the following: 'Al-Qaeda is a manifestation of devout Islam.
It is Islam' and 'If the Jew dies, the Muslims will die as well: their survival depends on their constant jihad, because without it they will lose the meaning and purpose of their existence.' The Home Secretary considers that should you be allowed to enter the UK you would continue to espouse such views.' .The letter to Robert Spencer was in almost identical:'The Home Secretary notes that you are the founder of the blog Jihad Watch (a site widely criticized for being Islamophobic). You co-founded the Freedom Defense Initiative and Stop Islamization of America, both of which have been described as anti-Muslim hate groups. You are reported to have stated the following: '. It Islam is a religion and is a belief system that mandates warfare against unbelievers.
For establishing a societal model that is.incompatible with Western society.' The question probably should be: Based on available evidence, are those assessments of Islam accurate? Particularly compared to current messages that seemingly are considered 'conducive to the public good.'
It is also conceivable that reading quotes from Winston Churchill's book about Islam online would be seen as 'far right' and therefore punishable by up to 15 years in jail. In 2014, Paul Weston, chairman of the Liberty GB party, was on suspicion of religious/racial harassment for quoting an excerpt on Islam from Churchill's book, 'The River War' - written in 1899 while he was a British army officer in Sudan - in a public speech.Another recent government response to terrorism has been to two far-right groups: Scottish Dawn and NS131, which are aliases for the group National Action, a fringe neo-Nazi group, in 2016. Being a member of these groups or merely supporting them is now a criminal offense that carries a sentence of up to 10 years' imprisonment. Amber Rudd in September:'National Action is a vile racist, homophobic and anti-Semitic group which glorifies violence and stirs up hatred.
Our priority as Government will always be to maintain the safety and security of families and communities. We will continue to identify and ban any terrorist group which threatens this, whatever their ideology'.Apparently, however, to paraphrase George Orwell, some terrorist groups 'are more equal than others.' Amber Rudd recently refused to ban the political wing of Hezbollah, an equally racist, homophobic and anti-Semitic group that has actually committed terror attacks all over the world, as opposed to the banned neo-Nazi groups. Banning Hezbollah's political wing would have closed a legal loophole that allows demonstrations in support of the political wing of Hezbollah, while its military wing is banned in the UK. Hezbollah itself, obviously, does not distinguish between its 'political' and 'military' wings.The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, had to Amber Rudd asking her to close the legal loophole after Jewish groups pleaded with him to stop a large Al Quds day march, which nevertheless took place in London in June 2017 and featured Hezbollah flags.
While the British government decided that supporters of fringe neo-Nazi groups should be jailed for up to 10 years, it apparently thought that supporting Hezbollah is just fine. In response to Khan, Amber Rudd:'The group that reportedly organised the parade, the Islamic Human Rights Commission, is not a proscribed terrorist organisation. This means they can express their views and demonstrate, provided that they do so within the law.
The flag for the organisation's military wing is the same as the flag for its political wing. Therefore, for it to be an offence under Section 13 of the Terrorism Act 2000, for an individual to display the Hizballah flag, the context and manner in which the flag is displayed must demonstrate that it is specifically in support of the proscribed elements of the group',In other words, you can go ahead and support Hezbollah in the UK, no problem. Support the far right and you can end up in jail for a decade. Evidently, free speech in the UK has become extremely selective.Judith Bergman is a columnist, lawyer and political analyst.

Every day that passes shows up the British politicians for the complete ignoramuses that they are. They appear to know nothing of what is actually written in the Koran or preached on a daily/weekly basis in the many, many mosques which now infest the country.Rosa Klebb look-alike Amber Rudd is a rude bully and seems to like nothing better than throwing her weight around. She is, if anything, an even worse Home Secretary than the incompetent Sharia May.
With people like this running the show Britain is destined for a fate similar to that which overcame Lebanon. All those statements by Robert Spencer and Pamela Geller are very accurate and absolutely in line with the doctrine of Islam.I recommend to get familiar with the work of Robert Spencer, who's simply quoting facts and the Islamic doctrine. Jihad Watch also has a very nice 'Islam 101' section for anybody who wants to get familiar with the grounds of its doctrine.And I would love Robert Spencer to debate Amber Rudd - that would expose her complete ignorance.As long as the public won't wake up to the truth about the true nature of Islam and why does it constantly bring nothing but destruction and oppression wherever it sets foot. These absurdities are about to continue. Amber Rudd, and her leader, are shining examples of the Professional Political Classes disconnect with the people of their countries, it is occurring throughout the west, with the rise in 'Political Correctness' and leftwing liberalism. These politicians all claim they are the political representatives of their electorates, but nothing is further from the truth, they don't represent the broad majority of their populations, and throughout the western democracies there is a growing distrust and contempt of the political classes, that can only leady to the break down of law and order and good governance.There is only so much that national populations will put up with before they react, and our politicians ignore the wishes of the people at their peril. Free speech has always been the right of the naive students throughout the civilised World.
They shout down all alternative opinions to their own and demonstrate with violence against speakers who they think might express opinions opposite to their own. Their opinions are always left wing and favour the dross from the East. The AfD in Germany of course is hated by most students as it is the fashion.
As they grow out of universities and have to work for a living and have to protect their families from islamic violence they grow up and fall in with the opinions of the mature populations in their countries. Students have to be protected from the grown up World in the meantime. This started in the 1960s. Corbyn and McDonnell never grew up. You are correct about that and yet they called themselves socialists. Nazis have nothing at all to do with Western conservatives. That is the main issue.
There are no points of agreement or similarity, so to call conservatives 'right wing extremists' is really missing the point. THAT is the way in which leftists have managed to define the terms in order to build a case against their political opponents. It is an entirely false construct, which leaves ignorant liberals to believe that if a conservative wins an election they are at risk of living under an authoritarianism. It is this management of the narrative by the left that has left liberals and our young people terrified of freedom.
How is 'far right' being defined in the UK? To conflate Tommy Robinson with a group like National Action is mendacious.
What gets Mr Robinson the tag of 'far right' from those in the not-know is his opposition to classical Islam, and most particularly in the UK, where well-meaning but nescient people love the mantras of 'Islam is a religion of peace' and 'terrorism has nothing to do with Islam' while oblivious (perhaps intentionally so) to the rules of naskh, and to the sunna of Muhammad founded on Hadith and Sira. If Tommy Robinson is 'far right' for seeking to protect non-Islamic civilisation, then 'far right' begins to sound like a good thing and one must seek another term, like 'uber-far right' to describe groups like National Action. Classical Islam is a just such an 'uber-far right' movement.
Its doctrines are misoxenic (hating outsiders) to the point of being genocidal, supremacist, dominance-seeking, and politically and psychologically totalitarian; its laws ban any expression that contradicts the religion and its 'ethical dualism' favours Muslim men over Muslim women and disfavours non-Muslims altogether. Those who whitewash it and support its adherents (often 'leftists' and 'liberals') are supporters of and 'useful idiots' for a merely exotic form of the 'uber-far right'. Incitement to violence of any kind is one thing.Viewing or reading 'far right' opinions is -? Definition is in the control of the mind-managers - Humpty Dumpty as Big Brother.We know have in Britain Mrs May's personal pet project, dearer to her heart than Brexit or anything else, a fallacious 'race audit' concurrent with a patrol of internet opinions.
This is a reductio ad absurdum/nauseam of the new 'equality and diversity' state ideology. It has been accompanied by the sinister phrase 'nowhere to hide'.Catching for example thugs of various hues or views who assault Jews or daub synagogues is a different matter from prescribing the normal previous curriculum of Jewish (or Christian)schools either to suit a multi-faith smorgasbord or (real purpose) to eliminate faith and family altogether.There is a neo-marxist method in the multi-cult madness.
A native Brit, I can confirm the essential truth of this article.You are far more likely to be arrested for making a statement deemed 'far-right' or one deemed 'Islamophobic' than you are for being an Islamic hate-preacher.An 'Islamophobic' statement can be one critical of Muslims or Islam itself, as Paul Weston's arrest proved when he quoted Winston Churchill.I co-wrote an article with Jake Neumann some years ago on this very matter (free-speech in UK, USA and Muslim Countries). Since then things have only got worse in the UK, Europe and USA with ever more restriction on speech that upsets Muslims. I am completely and utterly angry with the British government's denial that Islam is no threat. They take the cowardly route and attack people who they consider to be 'right wing' and yet allow well known Muslim instigators to make hate speeches in our Universities.Nothing other than cowardice! Amber Rudd is one of those Tory politicians who has never ever seen the real threat on the streets of our country.
She'd rather bury her head in the sand and wear ear muffs to keep out the truth. The government think that their approach will eventually lead to Islam being just like any other religion, but unfortunately, they fail or perhaps deliberately ignore the signs! Would they invite missionaries from a Baptist group in Virginia to speak on campus to covert people to Christianity? How about missionaries in Mecca or Beirut? American Missionaries in Beirut established the American University, offering Arab speaking people the highest level of education when the Aryan Ottoman's were still looking down their noses at them, the missionaries also gave the Arab people their first printing press and it played a role in their liberation from Ottoman tyranny. How does that contrast with trying to teach a false positive about Islam that is only a rationalization for extremism.
