Roshornora Choudary has been found guilty by an Old Bailey Jury of attempting to murder Stephen Timms MP.
LM made clear my views about this outrageous attack on an MP who voted for all B£iars wars. There is absolutely no excuse for violence or trying to kill an MP when what Muslims should be doing is using a more potent weapon the cross on a ballot paper to rid us of MP's from any party who vote against Muslim interests.
I also disagree with Michael White's implicit attack on Muslims that "some people" would have muttered "serves him right" when they heard of the stabbing. In addition, I think White gets it completely wrong when trying to gloss over New Labour's atrocious foreign wars, he claims whatever drove her to attempt murder existed long before Afghanistan or Iraq. This girl, before she dropped out, was a gifted English student at Kings expecting a Geoff Hurst who in her own words said this was about "revenge" for Iraq. While disagreeing with her approach I'm inclined to take her word rather than that of a New Labour Spin merchant that Iraq was the reason for the knife attack.
Sadly rather than trying to kill a politician, Choudary should have been organising her community in East Ham to democratically oust Stephen Timms not take a knife to him. In my opinion anger at politicians should be channeled into the only appropriate mechanism that exists to remove them which is democracy and elections.
We Muslims should take a leaf out the Tea Party approach in America. Muslim anger at the injustice of Iraq and Afghanistan to name but two wars is matched by Tea Party anger at Obama's fiscal stimulus and Health Care. Watch tonight's results from across the pond to see how Tea Party anger and activism may swing both the House and Senate towards the Republicans without a knife in sight. The Tea Party approach is a fantastic electoral model to adopt however, are we Muslims really capable of similar angry electoral activism?

The Tea Party is playing on home soil. The Muslims are playing an away game at someone else's home ground: it's totally different.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I was ( and still am ) against the war on the grounds it was implemented, it does not give anyone the right to take the law into their own hands such as this woman. I understand that she does not accept british law as the courts of this land hand out through centuries of civilised progress. For my part I would say that if she does not accept the law of the country she is in she should accept her motherland law then, I understand that a public stoning is commonplace for such an act, where shall we carry this out?
ReplyDeleteJolly good she's got life, at least 15 years, so hopefully she'll never reproduce, so we won't have more like her.
ReplyDeleteShe'll just love being in prison with all those fallen women!
Who has more blood on their hands?
ReplyDelete"Muslims are playing an away game at someone else's home ground" - No, this IS OUR land too. If you don't like it then...
"accept the law of the country she is in she should accept her motherland law then, I understand that a public stoning is commonplace for such an act, where shall we carry this out?" - Qué? Talk about sheer unbridled ignorance.
"She'll just love being in prison with all those fallen women!" - perchance, she may educate them a la Malcolm X.
^"No, this IS OUR land too" No it's not "your land", you might happen to be born here, but you are in no way English/Welsh/Scots/Irish, you are an immigrant for at least a thousand years, then you might claim to be English etc.
ReplyDelete"Talk about sheer unbridled ignorance"
How is that ignorant? In the news almost every day is the middle aged Iranian woman about to be stoned to death for doing nothing, sounds like the truth to me.
"perchance, she may educate them a la Malcolm"
Hee,hee, you'll be lucky do you really know any British woman prisoners, they are too lazy, drug or drunk addicted, to bother with something like a religion! They might just convert the muslim woman!
I like your blog, I've just been reading it more. I have to disagree with your statement that Muslims should be voting against MPs that go against Muslim interests. First and foremost should always be British interests, not Muslim interests. You should be making decisions based on what's best for the country and everyone in it, regardless of ethnicity or religion/lack of religion.
ReplyDelete"No it's not "your land", you might happen to be born here, but you are in no way English/Welsh/Scots/Irish, you are an immigrant for at least a thousand years, then you might claim to be English etc."
ReplyDeleteWell according to the law of the land & the treaties which this nation has signed, & the Queen & Parliament - Yes it is my land too.
"How is that ignorant? In the news almost every day is the middle aged Iranian woman about to be stoned to death for doing nothing, sounds like the truth to me."
Just one example, she is not Iranian.
"Hee,hee, you'll be lucky do you really know any British woman prisoners, they are too lazy, drug or drunk addicted, to bother with something like a religion! They might just convert the muslim woman!"
Well, 2 reasons.
1-The number of converts to Islam in prison is rising as the number of Muslims does.
2-The number of women converts to Islam as compared to men is almost 4:1.
As for the chracterization of drug addicted (including drink) & lazy, well that is one of the main reasons that many famous converts state i.e it brought back from the spiral of hopeless fecklessness, giving structure to broken Britain.
