Corrupt Saudi King wants America to bomb Iran

The Wilkileaks saga is proving to be rather uncomfortable for the Kings of Bling in the Middle East as it reveals what two faced crooks and cowards we all know them to be.

I doubt anyone is really surprised that the tyrant and pervert Abdul in Saudi who hilariously calls himself the custodian of the two holy mosques has secretly been urging the Americans to bomb Iran. What I do find revealing however is the corrupt tyrants of the Middle East seem to agree with Israel's policy towards Iran and would happily do all they can to see a fellow Muslim nation attacked. The fact that Saudis do this in secret is indicative of why they are cowards.

The House of Sinners fear Iran because Iran is their biggest nightmare in terms of what will happen to their own family dynasties. Sadly Abdul has managed to get up from his deathbed in America however, I give him and his family no more than 10 years before we see the death of his Saudi regime when true Saudi Muslims liberate their country from this debauched family.

Preston Muslims: Realise your duty, defend the Ummah and victory against the EDL will be yours

This article by the Lancashire Evening Post might well have been written by the EDL for all the gushing supportive coverage of tomorrow's march by the EDL in Preston. The article's portrayal of the EDL as a bunch of OAP's fighting against extremism is a travesty of the truth as much as the subliminal heading appearing to call the march a "a spirited defence".

While the LEP seem only concerned about their Xmas shopping on Saturday being disturbed LM urges all Northern Muslims from across the North West of England to show your true worth and valour by coming out on a cold day to defend the House of Allah (swt) which is under threat. Ignore the Preston establishment who will tell you to stay indoors and let the Police defend the community and our property. Muslims only have to look at this coverage of the EDL runing riot in Leicester to realise every Muslim must be out on the streets defending their property and people.

Be warned this demo has been called to coincide with the visit of sadly our own southern scum Millwall FC so Muslims be prepared. The Police will probably kettle you into one area outside the main Mosque while mobile units of EDL and Millwall have freedom and flexibility to run riot in different parts of Town.

Once again Northern and in particular Preston Muslims from the Fishwick and Deepdale gangs don't listen to the comedians and cowards who would have you stay at home while Nazis come to town, get off your backsides, join the UAF and MDL, defend the Ummah and a famous victory against the EDL will be yours inshallah.

Muslims under "greater threat" living in the suburbs of UK

A depressing report has indicated how Muslims in the UK face the constant threat of racism and Islamophobia while living in the suburbs of the UK.

The number of women who wear the Niqab that have been punched or verbally assaulted has increased with Mosques also facing a growing threat of criminal damage since 9/11 in isolated communities.

LM believes the picture this report paints is consistent with the cowards who carry out attacks on a minority community rather than where we Muslims are more in number like London.

Muslim MEP Saj Karim claims he is the victim of a BNP "hate campaign"

Saj Karim the Lib Dem MEP turncoat who jumped ship and joined the Tories has claimed he is the victim of a BNP inspired hate campaign as a result of his opposition to labelling Halal meat.

I don't like Muslim politicians like Karim who have relatively little loyalty to any political party and seem keen on power over principle so I'm cautious on the race hate allegations from this publicity seeking political rat. However, if the allegations do prove correct then I think its unacceptable for his family to be the victims of racial abuse particularly his kids.

The Queen wearing a Hijab on state visit to Abu Dhabi

Shocking sexual abuse and grooming of young girls by Derby Muslim gang

LM has highlighted a number of recent horrific sexual abuse cases involving Northern British Pakistani Muslims.

The latest abuse case again appears to involve a British Muslim Pakistani gang who have been convicted of a number of charges involving sexual abuse including sexual assault and rape. The two ringleaders were married with kids

Once again silence from the British Muslim Pakistani community in the area and once again it would not surprise me if they and their families are pillars of the local community and regular attendees of their local Mosque run presumably by an Imam from Pakistan or is it Pornistan. With some Mosques run by sick perverts like this is it any wonder the growing issue of sexual and drug abuse within the British Pakistani Muslim community up north is never addressed.

British Jewish leader attacks Israel

Mick Davis a senior Jewish leader has in a welcome development expressed moral repugnance over Israel's policies and conduct.

LM believes this to be welcome because while Muslims have correctly been criticised for not aggressively and consistently denouncing the munafaqeen (hypocrites) within our midst I fear the same accusation can and should be levelled at Jews who refuse to also take a stance on Israels occupation and theft of Palestinian land.

Israel is a pariah state it is engaged in occupation and oppression which requires the Jewish diaspora to take a moral stand and denounce Israel just like we expected Germans to take a stand and denounce its Nazi regime.

My concern about Jewish silence is that if you vacate a debate or issue, ultimately you run the risk of allowing the political equivalent of squatters to move in. My regular readers will know that this blog has no hesitation in criticising the actions of fellow Muslims however, in the best traditions of being an equal opportunity slagger offer where appropriate, I also do not hesitate to highlight the actions of Jews, other faiths or secularists both good and bad.

What I hope the comments of Mick Davis do is start a more critical analysis of Israel's conduct by Jews and a refreshing self awareness rather than a self introspection where burying ones head in head in the sand is completely counterproductive.

British Farmers should look to the Islamic and Halal market

A new report published about the Halal market provides a revealing insight into the red meat industry in England.

The Muslim population in England is approaching 3% yet we consume almost 20% of the lamb slaughtered. Now that there is for the first time authoritative and qualitative research on the Halal habits of the Muslim community the agricultural sector namely British farmers need to urgently accommodate the demands of this important and valuable customer base.

This excellent article in Herald Scotland by Rog Wood correctly underlines the importance of British Farmers readjusting their marketing strategies to take into account the Muslim market which accounts for almost 30% of all sheep meat eaten in Europe. Unless UK farmers want to be eclipsed by French or New Zealand Farmers then someone needs to urgently provide them with a calender that highlights the Muslim religious festivals of Eid when sheep and lamb demand is at its height.

Study finds Muslims in France are facing discrimination

A depressing although not altogether surprising study by the National Academy of Sciences has shown that Muslims in France face greater discrimination in the French job market than Christians.

The researchers sent off CV's of a Christian and a Muslim to companies and perhaps given the political discourse in France about Niqab's etc the Christian received considerably more favourable responses than the Muslim.

More generally the Muslim population in France is about 4 million which is roughly 6% with over 2000 Muslim religious sites so clearly France has a considerable and important job in ensuring its Muslim citizens are fully integrated into society and not segregated as a result of racist attitudes and sentiment that sadly still prevail which presumably could be a legacy of France's colonial past.

Muslims in Indonesia protest against Saudi abuse of domestic workers

A number of Indonesian groups led by the FUI and FPI have staged demonstrations outside the Saudi embassy in Jakarta protesting at the appalling abuse and torture, Indonesian migrant workers face at the hands of their tyrannical and sick Saudi employers.

The situation now appears to be escalating diplomatically as Indonesia's President has also waded into the controversy about the Saudi torture of maid Sumiata bini Salan Mustapha whose body was burned and cut with scissors.

I do hope the Saudis are shamed into taking action although frankly given the contemptuous and debauched lifestyle of their House of Sinners LM finds this as unlikely as Indonesia's President talking to the Saudi King who is currently on his deathbed in America.

Thugs throw Bacon and Beer then urinate on Kingston Mosque

A shocking incident in Kingston has understandably left the Muslim community outraged after a number of thugs urinated on the walls of Kingston Mosque before throwing Bacon and Beer at cars in the area.

What LM found almost as equally shocking has been the reporting of Martin George at the Surrey Comet who described the white march that preceded this grotesque incident as "protesters marching against Muslim extremists". George then shockingly underlined his appalling article highlighting his own prejudices by explaining how the march was "peaceful" and the protesters "dispersed quietly". With regard to the attack on Kingston Mosque Martin George simply describes the attacking scum as "masked men", reserving the term "extremists" for Muslims.

How appropriate that the march was organised by the interestingly named Ben Baty.

Amnesty condemn Saudi abuse of Indonesian Migrant workers

LM has highlighted the Saudi Gay Prince who murdered his slave in London.

However there is also growing and shocking levels of abuse by Saudi and Gulf families towards Indonesian migrant workers as well as those from Sri Lanka which Amnesty International has highlighted.

Clearly some Saudi and Gulf Muslims seem to think they have a divine right to treat domestic workers with abuse and contempt while in severe cases sick Saudi scum have hammered nails and also killed their vulnerable domestic workers. I think its frankly outrageous but not surprising that these well heeled rich Muslims think they can abuse with impunity without punishment.

LM believes there should be an international register which Interpol should establish that enables countries like Indonesia, Philippines, Sri Lanka etc to issue arrest warrants the moment these ghastly Saudi and Gulf creeps step out of their country on business or holiday trips with requests to deport them for trial to the country of the domestic worker who has been abused.

BBC Panorama Investigate Muslim schools

The papers this morning in the UK are currently engaged in a orgy of stories about Muslim weekend schools apparently teaching Muslim youngsters amongst other things how to chop off a persons hand.

The allegations center around an investigation by the BBC's Anti Islam correspondent Jon Ware who in tonight's Panorama show at 8.30 pm will seek to outline depending on which paper you read that these schools teach kids how to chop off thieves hands, a bit of Homophobia , Jews taking over the world, and anything not caught by the above then just general all round hate for youngsters.

LM has not seen the programme so clearly its rather premature to comment in detail about the allegations which have been so painstakingly leaked to the press however, I am to say the least very sceptical about anything from John Ware. John Ware is a bit of a comedian with considerable form who is part of the growing industry if not army within the BBC that specialise in Anti Muslim programmes and all on the back of Muslim license fee money.

However, notwithstanding the above as my regular readers know I oppose all faith schools including Muslim ones so taking into account the Catholic sex abuse stories I do hope people of reason begin to understand that all faiths schools are wrong and divisive not just the Muslim ones Panorama highlights.

Monday evening should be interesting viewing because if you wanted a starter then C4 have a disturbing programme about Pakistani Muslim suicide bombing at 8pm.

The Mecca Metro

Has Mezhgan Hussainy, Simon Cowell's Muslim girlfriend been dumped?

Looks like the latest reports indicate that Simon Cowell may no longer be hooking up with his Muslim girlfriend Mezhgan Hussainy.

Ah well if true at least our Si has had his fun and Mish like many before her has proved to be a bit of a dreamer if she thought Mr Nasty was really serious about finally committing and settling down with an Afghan Muslim divorcee.

Muslim religious leader Jailed for sex attack on girl

Yet another sick pervert "Muslim religious leader" has been jailed for sexually abusing a young girl.

The overseas Pakistani Imam, over here with the requisite overgrown beard is yet another good reason why some overseas Imams particularly from Pakistan should be deported.

This pervert was supposed to be teaching her the Quran but as many Muslims know a significant proportion of overseas Pakistani Imams are illiterate backward buffoons who should not be let anywhere near a British Mosque or left alone with children.

I would urge Muslim parents and the authorities to campaign for a OFSTED type accreditation system before any overseas Pakistani Imam is let anywhere near a child because sexual abuse is just one hidden aspect of a more wider toleration of general child abuse by Pakistani Imams that is forcing British Muslims to take the law into their own hands.

George Galloway in conversation with "Tommy" of the EDL

The EDL are not creating "Islamic Extremism"

The Keystone Cops up in Brum aka the West Midlands Counter Terrorism Unit (WMCT) have claimed that the EDL "feed Islamic Extremism".

Notwithstanding the fact that the EDL are simply referred to as right wing and Muslims as extremists in Jamie Mackie's report the claim is as usual nonsense from a Unit who appeared to have their grubby paws over the preposterous attempt to spy on all Muslims in Birmingham.

What seems to be upsetting the WMCT who currently seem to be engaged in a major charm offensive is far from extremism being the issue amongst Muslims, for the first time with the creation of organisations like the Muslim Defence League, Muslim youth are getting their act together and uniting with others including the UAF to defend our community from the Nazi EDL. Moreover, given the success of Muslim unity and our ability to dismiss the EDL threat the concern appears more to do with Muslim unity and strength on the street which is a model the Establishment fear and as a result put out out spoilers about so called Muslim extremism. I cant think of a better way to get Muslims out of prison than news that the EDL are marching and they are needed to defend their communities.

My message to the Brum boys in blue is what creates a fertile ground for extremism is when you spy on innocent Muslims by the use of your CCTV spy cameras which indicates how you really view all Muslims.

Divorce rates up amongst Muslim Malaysian and Indonesian married couples

According to the local chief Minister of Borneo the Island state that is administered by Indonesia, Malaysia, and Brunei the divorce rate amongst Muslims is rapidly rising with some estimates indicating the divorce rate may be as high as 50%.

Clearly the Minister is absolutely correct that Muslims couples are marrying far to early and as a result are unable or unwilling to take on the responsibilities that marriage entails. Going down the route of pre marriage courses may help but the bigger picture is the age factor which is why they seem to divorce within the first five years of marriage.

Oklahoma's Sharia Amendment

Oklahoma is a State in the USA that one often associates with the terrorism and extremism of its infamous bomber Timothy McVeigh who carried out the worst atrocity in America before 9/11 that killed approaching 200 people.

Given the history and actions of a white male Catholic fanatic in Oklahoma and registered Republican voter who do the usual motley crew of Rednecks and Tea Party Sympathisers focus their attentions on, well naturally Muslims of course.

70% of Oklahoma voters recently passed an amendment to the state constitution that bans any consideration of Sharia law although the State Judge in her wisdom delayed the implementation of the law. LM believes that Americans are currently going through a drug junkie phase where Islamophobia is the fix when in reality what they need to do is go Cold Turkey.

Video of US Muslim TV boss who executed Wife claiming Cops have mistreated him

US Muslim TV boss who executed Wife claims he is unsafe in Jail

The Muslim boss of a US based Islamic TV Station who was having a bad day at the office so he decided to chop his wife's head off is alleging his jail keepers are treated him badly. All together now ahhh you poor thing.

Apparently Muzzamil Hassan from Pakistan (where else) who established his station Bridges TV to promote cultural awareness and this is the best bit to counter negative stereotypes of Islam seems miffed that anyone might consider him in a poor light after doing an Ann Boleyn beheading of his Mrs.

Muslim Kid gang threatens boy on Armistice Day

The Daily Mail is frothing about a few Muslim kids out of their nappies who wrote some badly spelt messages on Facebook threatening to kill a fellow classmate over his remembrance messages.

The non story seems to be exciting the Mail and its readers in order to continue the Poppy issue which has already been highlighted at length. My advice to the Muslim kids is go back to your Lego sets or pick up a dictionary and learn to spell.

George Galloway attacks Canada over policy on Israel and Afghanistan

I've often accused Canada's Muslims of being the most incompetent in the West and sleepwalking into political oblivion, well what better way to wake them up by sending George Galloway on a tour of Canada.

Gorgeous George a former MP in the UK overturned a pathetic attempt to ban him from entering Canada by Immigration Minister Jason Kenny which ironically has turned his books into bestsellers.

Canada's Muslims please put on your thermals and go and listen to George who described Gaza as a concentration camp. When Harper's Govt tried to ban Galloway the Muslims of Canada should realise the attempt to muzzle him was to keep you Muslims pacified and ignorant of the political truth so with 10 speeches on the Tour you are duty bound to listen and learn about how to make a political difference.

Do Muslims in Canada want to build a "parallel society"

I'm always slightly amused if a report published about Muslims is called an "intelligence report" when in reality the one thing it lacks is intelligence in every form of that word, eg sexed up dodgy documents.

In Canada a report published by - wait for it the "Integrated Threat Assessment Center" claims Muslims want to build a "parallel society". The report could frankly have been written by a kinder garden pupil or Quilliam because it  regurgitates standard Neo Con words like "hard-line Islamic groups", "violence", "self imposed isolation", "extremism", "Islamist" etc, in other words the usual narrative and a cobbled together conclusion that contains no evidence.

Canada's establishment has sadly embarked on a journey to vilify Muslims taking their lead from the Israelite PM Stephen Harper which is not helped by Canadian Muslims being politically the most incompetent in the West. I despair at the political ignorance of Canada's Muslims who struggle to distinguish between a politician and a snowman let alone understand the significance of secret reports that seek to make Muslims the Enemy of the State.

My advice to Canada's spooks is when it comes to Muslims creating a "parallel society" or living in "self imposed Isolation", take a trip to Northern England and the Jewel in the Crown of British Muslim society Bradistan, a ghetto where Pakistani Muslims dump themselves and marry their first Cousin's. The only threat I can think of is to pedestrians trying to avoid Muslim female driving Instructors who teach with their Niqab's on or bearded wonders tripping over their beards not to mention overcrowded houses with Bradford Muslims producing like rabbits.

Phil Woolas Judgement delayed as Judges split

A long awaited judgement in the case of Phil Woolas has been delayed because of what the High Court claims are "difficult questions to resolve" which I've been advised is legal speak for the 3 Judges being split 2-1.

Sadly we have not yet seen the back of this rotten racist MP and what way the 2 judges are siding with is not clear although should the High Court decide on a majority rather than unanimous basis it seems clear a further appeal on the pending High Court judgement may also be likely.

Tory anger over Halal in the House of Commons

The usual suspects on the Tory backbenches Greg Knight, Andrew Rossindale and the Lizard Phillip Hollobone have expressed outrage at the provision of halal food in the House of Commons.

LM is not amused that right wing white men in suits continue to highlight and target halal slaughter under the guise of animal welfare yet presumably are not vegetarian or oppose Angling the favourite English "sport" because its what some white English Male constituents enjoy doing ie causing pain to animals as "sport".

The best way to establish the hypocrisy and racism of these MP's who claim animal welfare as their defence is to examine what they do when presented with a free vote to repeal the 2004 Hunting Act which all appear to have indicated they will not vote against.

Blair Calls Islam "great" and a "Faith of Peace"

No not that one but Ian Blair the former Commissioner of the Met Police has said Islam is being "demonised" by the "distorted" actions of a few.

LM could not agree more and welcomes this timely intervention so soon after MAC the Muslim equivalent of the EDL decided to burn a Poppy on Armistice Day.

Islam Channel to appeal OFCOM's ruling

Islam Channel have decided to appeal against OFCOM's ruling that they breached the Broadcasting Code which I highlighted previously.

While the Channel is perfectly entitled to appeal what I found disappointing is the accompanying comments calling into question the objectivity of the regulator.

As I've mentioned of course the regulator is biased but sadly and more importantly the Channel has allowed itself to be completely outmanoeuvred by comedians at Quilliam like Talal Rajab (pictured) who resembles the child actor Gary Coleman from Different Strokes.

The issue here is compliance so rather than digging a deeper hole for themselves and crying foul the strategy needs to be finessed in order to adapt and respond effectively to continued attacks by those who use inexperienced presenters to mask their wider and deeper hostility towards a Channel that is a voice for the voiceless.

Quilliam report on Westminster's "dinosaur attitudes" to Race

The sell outs at Quilliam have produced a report (NB large PDF doc) which although I have not read in detail appears on a mere skimming of some conclusions to have correctly highlighted "the outright racism" that exists in Westminster Politics.

While LM does not say this often about Quilliam to be fair some of the points they make about the need for members from all political parties not to pigeon hole non white candidates into ethnic issues are valid.

Why so silent about the English fishing for pain?

Ever noticed how the English like to make out they love animals and it is only "barbaric" Muslims or Jews who carry out "inhumane slaughter" without stunning or the Japs who continue to Whale that show cruelty to animals.

You do have to admire the hypocrisy of until recently the Fox Hunting English who show rage towards Mary Bale for putting a cat in a bin and anger towards Halal slaughter but remain silent with some notable exceptions about their biggest sporting pastime Angling.

Lets be clear, their is irrefutable evidence that Fish feel pain yet, notwithstanding Catch and Release, the English who get on their high horse about Halal, manage to continue the charade that fish "don't have the brains to recognise pain" despite the fact that they have pain receptors like Humans.

I wonder if the animal lobby along with their new found mates in the EDL will join London Muslim in a campaign to ban the barbaric "sport" of Angling in order to highlight how their selective campaigns are not based on race, or prejudice but actually a genuine concern for the welfare of all animals which the Con Dem Govt through its latest policy has shown is a bit of a farce.

Baroness Jenny Tongue: "Israel is the root cause of Terrorism"

Baroness Jenny Tongue a Lib Dem Peer has said that "Israel is the root cause of Terrorism".

Jenny has been a staunch supporter of the Palestinian cause and like Sir Gerald Kauffman a Jewish MP has highlighted how "Holocaust guilt" allowed Israel's behaviour to be left unchallenged.

Sadly Nick Clegg and the Lib Dem's just like Labour previously have changed their tune on Israel now they are in Govt presumably as Jenny indicates because of the power of Israel's lobby getting to work.

Blind American Muslim forced to use a Guide Horse not a Guide Dog

A blind American Sister, Mona Ramouni has to use a guide horse because her conservative Muslim family refuse to allow a guide dog in the house which they consider unclean.

While one has enormous respect and admiration for Sister Mona you do have to wonder about the ignorance of some Muslims in her family particularly in exceptional circumstances such as these or as Sheikh Ibrahim Mogra has ruled an "urgent practical purpose"

*** Update*** The Mail is now covering this story

Omar Bakri gets life

A Lebanese court has sentenced leading fanatic and fruitcake Omar Bakri to life for destabilising the Lebanese Government.

Bakri like all the other Munafiqeen (hypocrites) including Abu Hamza aka Captain Hook are complete fraudsters and we the silent Muslim majority should be ashamed of ourselves for allowing such muppets to prosper in our midst.

How revealing that Bakri who lectured us all about the need for Jihad showed his true cowardly colours in Lebanon when the Israeli's invaded, rather than fighting to defend Muslim soil he attempted to sneak out on a Royal Navy boat with civilians evacuating the country.

How does a coward who raises an exotic dancing daughter and lived off state handouts from what he calls "the land of the Kuffar" manage to get away with a position of authority amongst Muslims. Bakri is not a failure by the establishment but in my opinion he was allowed by the Establishment to preach hate because he fulfilled the exact criteria they required of a ranting Muslim nutter portraying Islam in an extreme manner rather than extolling the beauty of our faith. However, ultimately and frankly the bigger failure is amongst we Muslims for astonishingly tolerating such a crackpot who while a legend in his bedroom by continuing to father kids he struggles to maintain (6 at the last count and two marriages) was never a scholar but a charlatan.

France honours Muslim War Veterans

LM has explained why I do not wear a Poppy while also highlighting the critical role Muslim soldiers played in defeating the Germans.

In contrast to the silence from the British Military and Political Establishment towards Muslim sacrifices its heartening to see the French take a different approach and at the Paris Grand Mosque publicly recognise the role and sacrifice of Muslims in the French Army.

Yasmin get a life

Peter Oborne once said Islamophobia is the last form of acceptable bigotry and he is correct. However, we Muslims do not help the situation by occasionally being our own worst enemies.

Take the example of a Tory Councillor who through a tweet talked of stoning Yasmin Alibhai Brown to death. The sick joke and in very poor taste clearly calls into question his judgement as a politician but Yas this is not incitement to Murder.

With bigotry the solution is a diversity course to create understanding and mutual respect not an overcrowded prison cell. Perhaps this joke is generational or cultural for a Tory who grew up listening to Bernard Manning and Jim Davidson jokes and thinks stoning of women is as common in the Islamic world as western sexual assaults on women.

The irony of course was on a day when Muslims were inciting by burning the Poppy a joke gone wrong sends out a completely inconsistent message about one law for one community.

Yas, you have made your point but drop it, he has apologised so let's move on.

*** Update***  Yas has dropped it and will not press any charges, well done sis

Tory Councillor arrested over "stoning to death" Tweet about Muslim journalist

A Tory Councillor in Birmingham who tweeted "Can someone please stone Yasmin Alibhai Brown to death" has been arrested and bailed as well as suspended from the Tory Party.

The language on all sides is rising, people need to calm down and be more sensible. The Tory did not want Yaz stoned to death, it was his attempt at humour however, sadly for him Yaz has kicked off about incitement to Murder which is nonsense but then I'm not the Police or the CPS.

Fringe Muslim group burn the Poppy on Armistice Day

Apparently Andy Choudary's mob took time out from their weekly sign on at the Social to intentionally break the silence today on Armistice Day and for good measure burn a few Poppy's.

I hope those today who were silent remembered all who fought and died for this country however, with regard to Andy's mob of Munafiqeen I don't burn Poppy's, effigies, Holy Books etc for publicity or incite violence, I simply choose not to wear a Poppy for the reasons I've already highlighted.

Muslims travelling to the Hajj conned by Muslim fraudsters

Should you ever wish to have an appropriate example about the current state of the Muslim ummah one need only look at the latest examples of Muslim fraudsters conning fellow Muslims as they embark on a once in a lifetime pilgramage to the Hajj.

These latest scams are nothing new because I have reported and posted about them previously. I struggle to understand the mindset of any frausdster however, a Muslim defrauding a fellow Muslim over something so important as the Hajj surely has to take the biscuit.

Malaysia introduces Sex education in schools to stop "baby dumping"

Malaysia like a number of Muslim countries has a growing but largely unreported epidemic of "baby dumping" caused by the enormous stigma there is in Conservative Muslim society towards giving birth out of wedlock.

As a result, LM warmly welcomes the decision by the Malaysian Government to introduce Sex education in schools in order to tackle the shocking practice of Mothers literally leaving their babies to die in toilets or rubbish dumps.

However, Malaysia has also decided to test the taboo subject of Homosexuality with it's first gay film which really will test the tolerance levels of Malaysia's predominately Muslim majority.

The coldest Mosque in the world opens in Canada's Arctic

LM has previously mentioned how Canada's Muslims were literally building a new frontier for Islam with the construction of a Mosque in what must be the coldest place in the World, Canada's Arctic.

Well, great news for the growing Muslim community in Canada's Northwest Territories as the Mosque has now officially opened and with temperatures dropping in Inuvik it goes without saying the Brothers will need to wrap up to keep warm.

Michelle Obama wears the Hijab at Indonesia's Istiqlal Mosque

Canada's Muslims

I continue in my rather desperate attempt to awaken the Muslim Ummah in Canada following the increasingly extreme and pro Israel line being adopted by Canada's PM Stephen Harper.

As a result, Canadian Muslims (they do exist) have contacted LM and requested I provide evidence to substantiate my assertion that they are politically the most useless Muslims in the Western world.

Fair enough permit me to introduce Tariq Fateh, who

• is a secular liberal democrat
• upholds social and political pluralism
• promotes progressive ideas such as gender equality
• despises Islamic radicalism
• opposes shariah law
• supports Israel's right to exist as a Jewish state

Hang on though it gets better because this prat shockingly claims that anti semitism is rooted in the hadith and goes on to question the Quran's view of Jews.

Wtf, and to think this Muppet was actually the founder of the Muslim Canadian Congress.

Inspectors swoop on illegal Halal meat in the UK

I'm increasingly beginning to wonder about the authenticity of the Halal meat we Muslims in the UK eat.

LM has previously highlighted how they do Halal in France but here in the UK following a Food inspectors investigation into Glasgow Halal butchers knocking off cheap beef as Lamb I'm afraid my reservations and doubts are increasing which is why I need some reassurance.

Lutfur Rahman set for a return to the Labour Party

Labour Uncut are reporting that Ken Livingstone who recently met Ed Miliband to discuss Lutfur Rahman will at the next meeting of the NEC on 30 November urge the Party to reinstate Lutfur.

London Muslim actively campaigned for Lutfur to be the Mayor of Tower Hamlets and while winning that victory I also believe it will simply be a matter of time over when Lutfur officially returns to the Party.

Lutfur has made clear he will reach out to every community which is more than parasites like Gilligan have ever done.

Preston Muslims: Realise your duty, defend the Ummah and victory will be yours

Indonesian Muslim Minister claims he shook Michelle Obama's hand by accident

With all the problems in the world facing Muslims and in particular Indonesian Muslims how reassuring to see good old fashioned Muslim Ministerial hypocrisy is still alive and kicking.

For those readers unaware of their Indonesian politics permit to introduce Tifatul Sembiring the Muslim Indonesian Information Minister who regularly made a great play of his refusal to shake any woman's hand not related to him.

In the best traditions of Conservative Muslim piety guess what he did when Michelle Obama turned up in town, yep you've guessed it he shook her hands, however according to the Minister by accident of course, although is that a smile I detect on his face when shaking the First Lady's hand?

Will Kate Humble of the BBC also accept the beauty of Islam?

Obama set to engage the Muslim World at Indonesia's Istiqlal Mosque

President Obama  arrives in Jakarta Indonesia on the latest stage of his Asia Tour to give what is expected to be another landmark speech to Muslims in one of the biggest Mosques in the World, The Istiqlal.

Watching Michelle Obama dancing in Mumbai I could not help feel she was also dancing on the graves of Kashmiri Muslims brutally murdered by Indian occupation forces.

I understand the hostile political environment Obama works in domestically with a growing Tea Party whose hatred of Muslims and Islam is growing and yes he supported Park 51 in New York and opposed vigorously the Koran burning however, sadly Cairo is now a distant memory.

Ultimately, if he seeks some cost benefits from his outreach to Muslims then we need to see some genuine international evidence that he gets it. Two fundamental red lines for Muslims across the world are the need to stop killing Muslims in Afghanistan and to pressure the Israeli gangsters to stop oppressing Palestinians and occupying their lands. Clearly, I also understand the power and influence of the Israeli lobby however, you cannot politically have your cake and eat it, engage us honestly and we will reengage with you albeit cautiously given your previous failures after Cairo.

Canada's Muslims please wake up

Canadian PM Harper will support Israel "whatever the cost"

I continue to highlight how the most politically useless Muslims in the world are Canadian Muslims.

LM has made a concerted effort to try and ensure Canadian Muslims wake up politically smell the coffee and realise they have one of the most vile pro Israeli politicians in the world who happens to be their PM Stephen Harper.

Harper gave an outrageous speech yesterday where he pledged to support Israel "whatever the cost" yet when will any Candian Muslim stand up politically and be counted to prevent their PM supporting the murder, brutality as well as continued occupation and oppression of Muslim and Christian Palestinians by Jewish extremists and gangsters.

OFCOM attacks Islam Channel

Once again Islam Channel finds itself guilty of breaching the OFCOM code.

My concern is why Islam Channel allows itself to be compromised and is so vulnerable on its compliance process that they flagrantly breach the rules of  broadcasting regulators once again.

I understand the point some may make about OFCOM getting upset by any Muslim simply quoting from the Quran, a backdoor attempt to regulate our faith which is not done for other faiths eg evangelical Christian nutters.

However, Muslims are held to a different level of accountability than others. OFCOM will not touch Murdoch's Fox News that is a given not just because of his power but in part because the braodcrats at OFCOM share a similar world view. Have a look at the outrageous bias at Sky with Adam Boulton and not a peep from OFCOM so lets not be naive and expect a level playing field. The Islam Channel is watched like hawks by those who wish it harm and seem to be celebrating. As a result, this places an additional responsibility on the likes of Mohamed Ali the CEO and Salahuddin the MD to ensure Carl Arrindel the Head of Current Affairs and Strategy which includes compliance gets his act together.

I have already made clear my view about those Muslims who claim there is no such thing as "marital rape". However, this is an issue of compliance and previously the Channel got into hot water when Bungo and his mate from Respect AbdulRahman Jaffar were found to be biased in their Politics Show as Jaffar was presenting while standing for elections, all really basic stuff. The Politics Show is now presented by John Rees a fantastic organiser who has done outstanding work at Stop The War but with a SWP/Respect background he is not exactly mainstream. Watching The Politics Show and Azad Ali's Ummah Talk with respect to both is like watching paint dry.

I cringe when I listen to some of the "scholars" because it is so obvious from the questions being asked that they and Islam Channel are being set up to provide an answer which is immediately used to build a case at OFCOM. Does anyone honestly believe that the Muppet's at Quilliam had all the time in the world to sit, wait and just by chance pick up a quote on marital rape.

Islam Channel needs to up its game urgently, not wallow in a victim mentality that they are under attack which is obvious but adopt a strategy to counter their enemies.

Two Labour MPs Andy Slaughter and Jeremy Corbyn who are staunch supporters of Muslims and the Palestinian cause have met Hamas MPs Muhammad Totah and Ahmed Atoun in a Red Cross camp in Jerusalem where Israeli gangsters have imprisoned them following their refusal to adhere to Israeli demands to step down.

I understand that the Jewish Chronicle has been sniffing around this story naturally shocked that any British MP would dare taken on the Israel lobby and meet Hamas who are the oppressed taking on Israel's oppression.

You read it first here however I'm also intrigued to establish who Mossad have tipped of first, the Jews at Harry's Place or Jewish Chronicle to run with Israelite propaganda about the meeting, now what word will they use "extremists", nahh probably "terrorists" which is obviously a bit rich coming from staunch supporters of Israel a Terrorist state.

Is Liar and Cheat Phil Woolas also guilty of Incitement to Religious Hatred?

Now that the dust is settling on the election court decision to declare void Oldham's result and as Labour has suspended Phil Woolas from the Party one issue that's been completely ignored is whether Woolas is also guilty of Incitement to Religious Hatred?

In the court proceedings Woolas himself admitted sailing close to the wind however, he continued to maintain that "the Muslim extremist campaign against me was virulent", highlighting that his target was Muslims.

During the campaign his strategy developed and emails from his team highlight how he wanted to:

• get the white folk angry
• repeat the target the mad muslims
• go strong on the militant muslim angle
• galvanise the white sun reading voters

While the 1986 Public Order Act contains the offences of inciting or stirring up racial hatred, The 2006 Racial and Religious Hatred Act amends the 86 Act and introduces the offence of Religious Hatred which carry's the threat of prison for anyone who tries to stir up religious hatred.

Although I understand any prosecution would need to be approved by the Attorney General I nevertheless urge and encourage those Muslims who Woolas targeted in his campaign to make a complaint to the Police on the grounds of Incitement to Religious Hatred an Act of Parliament that Woolas ironically voted for.

Muslim students silent on Tuition charges while NUS target Lib Dem MPs

While I have previously outlined how Muslim students in the form of FOSIS and all the ISOCS up and down the country did absolutely nothing politically to campaign against new Tuition fee plans, in contrast the NUS strategy will now target Lib Dem MPs who supported the changes.

What a classic example of Muslim political incompetence, while the NUS adopt the right approach and seek to politically punish those MP's responsible for this legislation which introduces interest in Tuition charges forbidden in Islam, Muslim students as usual are presumably sitting on their arses and listening to speeches denouncing the "Kuffar" society they live in.

Eid is on November 16

With the sighting of the crescent moon Saudi have set the date for Hajj as November 15 and Eid to be on November 16 inshallah.

Obama Says US and India "united against terror"

How hypocritical of President Obama who in a symbolic gesture towards his Indian hosts visited the Taj Hotel In Mumbai first to pay his respects to those Indians murdered by extremists.

LM would prefer Obama to also show the Americans do not distinguish between any form of terror and to express American disgust at the murder and rape of innocent Kashmiri's by Indian occupation forces in the beautiful but bloodsoacked valley of Kashmir.

British Muslim men guilty of sexually abusing white girls

A group of evil British born Pakistani Muslim sexual predators have been jailed for a sickening catalogue of abuse towards young girls in Rotherham one of whom was only 12.

I've visited northern areas of Britain with large British born Pakistani Muslim populations and have to say these scum are products of a Northern British born Pakistani Muslim male culture that is high on Alcohol, drugs, prostitution and all manner of other criminality which partly explains the rise of the BNP and EDL.

Where is the outrage in Britain's Pakistani Muslim community who increasingly seem to be living in complete denial about how their young men are going off the rails and overpopulating our prisons. I'm not interested in sociological crap about the causes of crime because this criminal behaviour while also prevalent in other communities is indicative of a culture and attitude that some British Pakistani men take to women which ultimately in worst case scenarios ends up in such terrible and vile crimes against young girls.

I'm convinced that more people knew what these characters were up to and I'm also sure that on Friday's they regularly would turn up to their local Pakistani run Mosque and pray before going out on a spree of criminality. Why were there no alarm bells in their families, amongst their friends or in the community and when will the decent British born Pakistani Muslims stand up and say enough is enough.

The Poppy appeal has been hijacked and subverted to support illegal Wars

LM has previously made clear my objection to wearing a Poppy.

However, its also reassuring to read the comments of veterans from real and noble conflicts like the defeat of the Nazis who today have also expressed dismay that the original intent of commemoration and remembrance has been turned into a drum roll to support current political wars.

Wearing the Niqab (Burka) in London

Nosheen Iqbal writes a very interesting and informative article about those sisters who wear the Niqab which is well worth a read.

I like the analogy that wearing a hijab is viewed as a bit of "Punk" and increasingly being seen now as a fashionable and cool accessory.

No to racism, fascism and Islamophobia demo

Liar and Cheat Phil Woolas suspended from the Labour Party

Liar and cheat Phil Woolas has been suspended from the Labour Party..

What fantastic news, however I find it interesting that parasites like Andrew Gilligan seem remarkably quiet about Woolas breaking the law yet could not contain themselves when Lutfur Rahman was the subject of allegations about breaches of electoral law etc.

Perhaps the other vile creep Edward Jeory may also like to apologise for supporting Phil Woolas and similarly attempting to stir up the white vote against Muslims something Jeory has a long history of.

Liar and Cheat Phil Woolas claims he is applying for Judicial Review

Liar and Cheat Phil Woolas has been barred for 3 years from standing as an MP

Oldham Muslims Phil Woolas MP has been found guilty of breaking election Law

LM has been warning Oldham Muslims to prepare and organise for the prospect of getting a second chance to defeat the vile Phil Woolas MP and today's court judgement has ruled he did break the law.

Guido is breaking the news that Woolas has been found guilty of breaching election law specifically the Representation of the People Act.

The big issue is will Labour under Ed Miliband dump Phil Woolas as their candidate

The Muslim Police Sergeant in Preston who headed a ruthless crime family

Sadly this is not an April fools story but outrageously a Muslim Police Sergeant in Preston Salim Razzak who led a double life as the boss of a drug family has been sentenced to jail for amongst things perverting the course of justice.

While Salim Razzak was being promoted to Sergeant his bearded brother Hafiz known as "the enforcer" was rising in the ranks however he was actually assuming control of The Deepdale Drugs Gang before being sent down for a vicious and brutal kidnapping of a rival drug member also a Muslim. When his brother was sent to jail, Sgt Razzak assumed control of the gang and as a good Muslim managed to ensure it was a family business by including his Mum who also has been done for Perversion.

What a family of hypocrites and how reassuring to see Hafiz with the requisite beard an outward indication of piety and being an observant Muslim but in reality a complete charade while he and his brother helped blight so many families life's in their community through the distribution and selling of drugs.

Lets see how hard and tough the Muslim Deepdale and Fishwick Gangs really are when the EDL pay Preston a visit on Saturday 27 November to storm the Preston Mosque with what appears the help of the Police.

William Hague calls for "Legitimate Non Violent resistance" against Israel

In what perhaps has been the most amazing statement of support by any British Foreign Secretary towards the Palestinian people William Hague who when visiting Muslim and Jewish anti separation wall activists is reported to have supported "the popular resistance" to Israeli occupation and oppression.

LM is astonished because historically since Balfour we have as a country grovelled towards Israel and changes to universal jurisdiction are merely one recent example so all credit to Hague for making a significant step in the right direction.

Muslim students challenge new Tuition fee interest charges

FOSIS and other Muslim student groups have kicked off about the changes to Tuition fees because of the possibility they breach Islam's strict prohibition on interest.

Frankly LM has no sympathy whatsoever. Where have the ISOCS been over the years for the Muslim ummah organising or campaigning politically over causes like Palestine? The most useless Muslims are our students who sit on their arses or in the Student Union bar doing sod all claiming they don't do politics.

How interesting that a political decision which has caught FOSIS with it's pants down because they did nothing to politically campaign against it has come back to bite them. While I have seen campuses occupied by NUS students and Aaron Porter on the box regularly complete silence from ISOC's so serve you right you deserve everything this democratically elected government throws at you because of your incompetence and neglect.

Moreover, an indication of how supine and irrelevant Muslim students are politically is to watch the Govt reaction which implicitly will also be who cares, its not as if Muslim students despite their numbers have the ability to politically organise a campaign against politicians or letter write to their MP.

Following Lauren Booth, is Tony Blair's wife Cherie about to become a Muslim?

I'm not exactly sure what B£iar makes of the latest member of his family to speak well of Islam but wife Cherie defended Muslim women who wear the Niqab and said they are not a threat.

Cherie who perhaps was speaking more from a feminist perspective said it was "not true" that those who wear the Niqab were being oppressed or incapable of thinking for themselves.

However, what LM found interesting was the following glowing defence of Islam that it was a "open religion in which women have influence". Naturally, Cherie is absolutely correct and one does wonder if she will find Allah, revert to Islam inshallah and urge her husband to seek forgiveness for the crimes he has committed against Muslims.

The World's most Muslim friendly Brands

Ogilvy have published what appears to be the first ever study that ranks Brands on the basis of how Muslim friendly they are.

Food and beverage brands like Lipton and Nescafe top the list while financial services providers like HSBC come last which presumably provided the catalyst for yesterday's announcement by HSBC that they would be establishing sharia compliant financial services in China and India.

How to sell British operations in Afghanistan

London Muslim is astonished that the evidence given by a host of MOD spin merchants to the Defence Select Committee has not been picked up by our mainstream media for a tissue of lies the MOD implicitly admitted it is engaged in via an undeclared information war with the Taliban.

The subject of the session chaired by leading Tory Israelite James Aburthnot titled "Operations in Afghanistan" on 26 October had a number of witnesses whose sole task appeared to be the management of News Media in a coordinated and strategic manner across Whitehall. No wonder soldiers continue to die without adequate equipment when all the establishment are keen on doing is trying to convince us that the mission is just despite reasonable objective analysis admitting it is doomed to failure like all previous occupations of Afghanistan.

One spin merchant goes by the title "Strategic Communication Officer" and is ironically called Major General Messenger outlined how no stone would be left unturned in trying to spin an Afghanistan success out of what clearly is a failure. The gap that Messenger along with Nick Gurr the Director of Media at the MOD appear keen to close is widespread British support for our troops combined with widespread lack of support for the mission and operations in Afghanistan.

The two fundamental themes in spinning the lie about success is firstly to internationalise the conflict thus press releases and American/British Ministers will always talk about the 47 countries involved in the conflict when in reality over 80% of the occupying troops are American and British.

Secondly rather than emphasising the bad news in other words the truth like corruption, loss of innocent Muslim lives or situation in Helmand the objective is to try and invent positive news then spin it. The focus is to create a single news narrative about a story of success through aggressively targeting a variety of sympathetic channels like blogs, think tanks, authors and journalists engaged in documentaries or embedded with the troops.

Ultimately what the establishment are engaged in is a massive covert news management operation to paint a picture that bears no reality to the truth and all the while innocent Muslim civilians and British soldiers die while the likes of BAE prosper which is why I will never wear a poppy.

Are British Muslims being marginalised?

Shabana Syed writes an interesting if rather one dimensional article about what she calls the marginalisation of British Muslims by a combination of right wing think thanks, Muslim Uncle Tom's and parasites like Andrew Giligan.

Sadly the article which states the obvious that Muslims are being marginalised is bereft of any analysis about Muslim responsibility for our current predicament or solutions to overcome our paralysis.

The best approach for those who have a problem is to first acknowledge it exists then seek to work out how to overcome the situation while finally implementing one's solution.

With regard to acknowledging the problem sadly our current amnesia and over reliance on a victim mentality enables us as Muslims to avoid any personal responsibility. What about Muslim responsibility for our political and economic weakness, what about Muslim responsibility for our internal divisions. Take a look around the world and you will find Muslims killing more Muslims than anyone else which is always conveniently glossed over. Muslim countries are ruled by tyrants, crooks and dictators who yes are propped up by the West but through Muslim acquiescence.

Muslim women should be at the vanguard of our Renaissance, Khadijah the wife of the Prophet Mohammed (saw) was a businesswomen, Muslim women throughout the history of Islam participated in battles to defend the deen and yet through current cultural backwardness we find with notable exceptions some of our Sisters downtrodden by ignorant Muslim brothers.

Closer to home the UK has a history of racism from Catholics, Jews, Blacks and now Muslims which eventually as Tony Benn says will turn towards the Chinese. What have others done to overcome the racism they have adapted and taken the fight to the enemy. British Muslims are our own worst enemies and unless we adapt which does not mean the Quiliam or Sufi Muslim Council sell out approach but a deeper understanding about the beauty of our faith and an acceptance of being British which are not incompatible.

Muslim failures are down to our own inadequacies as a community which has quantity in terms of a rapidly rising demographic but sadly and honestly relatively little quality. Where are the Muslim scientists, writers, professors or Noble Peace Prize winners, the only Muslims I see are parking attendants, roadsweepers and bog cleaners and those are the ones who are not in Prison which is overpopulated with Muslims.

Oh Allah (swt) please wake up the Muslim Ummah and allow us to defend ourselves from our enemies and prosper ameen.

Lauren Booth Tony Blair's Sister in Law on why she is now a Muslim

LM exclusively broke the story that Lauren Booth was about to revert to Islam.

Following her announcement at the Islam Channel's GPU the story which travelled the world has generated a hysterical reaction amongst some of the usual suspects similar to when Jemima Khan became a Muslim.

Lauren Booth in a thoughtful article explains in detail her personal reasons for reverting which is well worth a read particularly for those who take a rather dismal view about Islam.

Halal Tourism

LM has regularly mentioned the importance of Muslims needing to adopt a Halal approach to holiday and travel plans highlighting the outstanding work of Brother Fazal Baharden and his crescentrating online service which rates hotels across the world according to their halal compliance.

My desire for Halal Tourism to be established and embedded as part of mainstream thinking for all Muslims worldwide appears to be gaining ground according to Malaysian Minister and General Jamil Khir Bin Baharom.

The General, speaking at the first Islamic Tourism Conference indicated that a trend had already started amongst Muslims in the Middle East and Far East who appear disgusted with the rampant Islamophobia in some western countries and are choosing to visit "Islam-or Halal friendly" destinations.

My strong advice to Muslims across the world who are increasingly reading this blog is not to waste your valuable money provided to you by Allah swt in countries who take a hostile approach to Muslims and Islam. We need to harness our economic power amongst the ummah to support and visit countries like Turkey or Malaysia rather than American Cultural backwaters like Disney who treat Muslims like this.

Gifted Muslim student found guilty of attempting to murder Stephen Timms MP

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?

Israeli Dep PM cancels UK trip over arrest fear as William Hague visits Israel to announce change in UK arrest law

A leading Israeli War Criminal Dan Merridor has cancelled a trip to London following legitimate fears that he may be arrested for his role in the Gaza Flotilla raid.

However, leading Israelite Michael Gove told a BICOM event that the Tory Govt would change the legislation which allows for the arrest of Israeli war criminals. I thought we had a Con Dem coalition so I'm keen to establish what the Lib Dem View on this announcement by Gove is considering it has nothing to do with his education brief.

While Gove spoke yesterday on behalf of Israel, Foreign Secretary William Hague chose today the anniversary of the shameful Balfour Declaration to visit Israel and confirm the outrageous legislation which will lift the threat of arrest from Israeli criminals. What's interesting is while some legislation in the UK has pre legislative scrutiny and is first announced to the UK parliament our UK Foreign Secretary travels to Israel to present his plans while also secretly scheming against Iran.

Respecting a Muslim Patients' need for Islamic Ethics

The NYT have an excellent article about a report by Dr Aasim Padela a Physician at the University of Michigan who highlights the importance of respecting an observant Muslim patients requirements for Islamic medical ethics.

The report should form the basis of a NHS template here in the UK and before the usual suspects kick off about special favours in the long term it could actually save the NHS money because of evidence that some Muslim women suffer higher rates of cancer out of modesty concerns leading to a lack of early screening.

The issue of Mahrem, proximity, modesty etc are major concerns for Muslim sisters and what the report shows is by simply adopting minor concessions to Islamic ethics like for example leaving the door slightly ajar during an internal examination, or wearing gloves etc which cost nothing could prevent significant and more costly health problems.

Church of England demands £5m to combat Muslim "extremism"

You really could not make this up but bizarrely the Church of England with their history from the Crusades onwards have submitted a claim for £5m of taxpayers money to wait for it combat radicalisation and promote community cohesion.

Frankly speaking what a joke that the men in cloth believe if Muslims sit down on a Sunday and watch Songs of Praise we might grow up to be upstanding members of the community. This project seems more about a backdoor missionary approach rather than getting neighbours to relate more positively towards each other.

My advice to the Church is if you really are keen to adopt "befriending" schemes how about abolishing your divisive and intolerant CoE faith schools or allowing all kids from different faiths to attend.
