Shooting the Messenger…

After all, how much more hate can you find than this?:No one loves the kafir. No one loves the kafir! Not a single person here from the Muslims, love the kafir. Whether those kafir are from the UK, or from the US – We love the peope of Islam, and we …..

We already have politicised security services; looks like we now have a politicised police force. Scary stuff.

Well, the West Midlands police should know a thing or two about distorting the evidence, given that its serious crime squad was responsible for dozens of frame-ups in the 1970s and 1980s. This incident reminds me of what happened when Donal McIntyre reported undercover on abuse on care homes in Kent - although it was obvious abuse was going on, the Kent Police found insufficient evidence for a prosecution, so they accused McIntyre of wasting police time. He sued them for libel, and won - perhaps the Dispatches people might follow suit?

The police were acting on to complaints.

Im glad the CPS dropped it. But im keener to find out what the MPs who requested an investigation into the mosque itself, ended up pursuing or not. Would you trust this police force to investigate thoroughly?

Hardcash have issued a very robust statement. Good for them.

Can’t prove it, of course, but one wonders whether the Muslim element within the police force has brought pressure to bear and, further, just what political correctness is going on. I realise I’m not impartial, being a secularist and nontheist, but I saw the programme and I fail to see how certain things could be made not to be those things by being taken out of context for the sake of programme brevity and conciseness. If somebody says queers shoould die, then there doesn’t seem to be much of another interpretation one can put on that (I don’t know that anyone did, but there were certainly some pretty nasty things said).
