It’s a speciality with Islamic supremacist groups. There is never
public acknowledgement of the teachings of jihad that call for violence
against kaffirs; it is deemed “Islamophobic” even to call out. It’s
always about maintaining their own supremacy over infidels and claiming
victim status is a means to doing it. The stratagem works well in the
West, and they know it.
Ironically, last year, the Muslim Council of Britain
was busy urging investigations into the Conservative Party for
“Islamophobia.” Meanwhile, a report from the International Centre for
the Study of Radicalisation at King’s College London noted
that “the Muslim Council of Britain (MCB) is arguably the key node in
the network” of the Muslim Brotherhood movement in Britain.
“UK Muslim groups brace for rise in hate crime after killing of David Amess,” by Dan Sabbagh, Britain’s leading Muslim organisation is to issue new
guidance to help British Somalis and other individuals and mosques deal
with any incidents of hatred emerging in the aftermath of Sir David
Amess’s death.
Zara Mohammed, the secretary general of the Muslim Council of
Britain, said that mosques in and around Southend were devastated by the
killing of the local MP and “they had regarded him as a member of their
family”.
“This is a heinous crime and we utterly condemn it,” Mohammed said.
“Nobody in the local Muslim community could believe how anybody could
brutally murder anyone, never mind Sir David, who was so engaged with
them.”
But she added there was “definitely an apprehension for Muslim
communities at this time” after it emerged that Ali Harbi Ali, the
25-year-old man arrested on suspicion of murder following the fatal
stabbing, came from a British Somali family.
Details about Ali’s motivations remain scarce, although the
investigation into Amess’s death at his constituency surgery on Friday
lunchtime is being treated by police as terror-related following initial
questioning of the suspect.
There has been anecdotal evidence of threats against some British
Somalis since the tragic incident, Mohammed said, particularly towards
“visibly Muslim Somali women” – and against some Somali organisations.
“Our own social media has been rife with hatred,” Mohammed added,
after the MCB released statements over the weekend in support of the
late Conservative MP and his family, and condemning the killing as “an
attack on democracy”.
As a result the MCB was working on producing updated guidance on
“reporting hate crime”, which would be also translated into Somali and
would be partly shared via WhatsApp, a popular means of communication
among the community in the UK.
Fresh guidance will also be sent out to all mosques, Mohammed added,
“reminding them of simple things like making a risk assessment, ensuring
CCTV are fully functional and working with local communities and
friends”.
It would also include a particular emphasis on the safety of Friday
congregations. Four years ago worshippers at two Finsbury Park mosques
were rammed by a van driver in a violent incident that left one dead and
nine injured.
The British Somali community dates back more than 100 years, and
there are at least 100,000 British Somalis in the UK, according to
census data, although the figure is generally believed by experts to be
an underestimate.
The majority live in London, although there are
well-established communities in Cardiff, Liverpool and other major
cities….
