A Fisking of Fraser Nelson

Sorry, someone has to do it. The lisping little lickspittle to the Scotia Nostra – a soldier of the Barclay Brothers Borgata (from Brillo Neil’s crew) – is no longer just a risible gofer, a political hack, tip-tapping away in the rarefied atmosphere of the Westminster Bubble surrounded by promiscuous and predatory finooks in the Palace of Wankers. He’s now a subversive front man for the Muslim Brotherhood, using the Daily Telegraph as an agency for its declared propaganda in pursuit of their applied policy of Taqiyya,  in the Islamization of the West in general and, through the compliant politicians and hacks,  of Britain in particular. Let’s hear what Nelson says on their behalf:

“Those who believe in a clash of civilisations, in which British values are pitted against those of the Muslim world, have not been short of examples in the past few days. The BBC reports on an “Islamic takeover plot” by hardliners to seize control of several Birmingham state schools.”

Note the mocking quotes “Islamic takeover plot”. Then read this analysis by Soeren Kern of the Gatestone Institute, who obviously can find time to analyse the data and reports, using in part the words from the mouths of the co-conspirators themselves:

Our erstwhile host Nelson from the Spectator blog, goes on to say this:

“But one hears such complaints rarely, and this is what marks us out in a Europe that is paranoid about Islam and identity. Britain is, through empire, the original multi-ethnic state. When Churchill was writing for The Daily Telegraph as a war correspondent, his criticism of the Afghan tribesmen was that their behaviour was un-Islamic. “Their religion – fanatic though they are – is only respected when it incites to bloodshed and murder,” he wrote in December 1897. Then, the Queen had tens of millions of Islamic subjects and her ministers boasted of running the greatest Muslim power on earth.”

A somewhat selective example of Churchill on Mohammedanism. Perhaps in his research he missed this slightly longer denunciation by Winnie, who must be turning in his grave:

“WINSTON CHURCHILL ON ISLAM – IN 1899!

“How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries!
Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia
in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many
countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods
of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet
rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the
next of its dignity and sanctity.

The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as
his absolute property, either as a child, a wife, or a concubine, must
delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased
to be a great power among men. Individual Moslems may show splendid
qualities – but the influence of the religion paralyses the social
development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists
in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and
proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa,
raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity
is sheltered in the strong arms of science, the science against which it
had vainly struggled, the civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell
the civilization of ancient Rome.”

That puts a slightly different slant on Mr Churchill’s take on Islam, than Nelson’s truncated little snippet doesn’t it, dear readers?  Who the fuck do you think you’re kidding, Nelson? You obviously read none of the commentary on the Spectator blogs before you contrived to drive Melanie out by making her an offer that anyone with a grain of integrity couldn’t swallow, and blackballing many of  her followers thereafter. We now know why, don’t we?

Nelson then cites a Morrisons Supermarket  v employee civil dispute as another example of the ‘few’ incidents of ‘unacceptable behaviour of Muslims in Britain’.  

Then he issues forth thus:

“The integration of Muslims can now be seen as one of the great success stories of modern Britain. While the Dutch and the French have huge troubles with integration, and are caught in agonised struggles about their national identities, Britain is marked out by the trouble that we are not having. Dig a little deeper, and the real story is the striking amount of harmony.”

Did this idiot write that with a straight face? The chronicle of strife in London and other provincial towns and cities brought on by Islamic demands and violence is voluminous. I won’t insult the readers of this blog by repeating what so many of them have recorded, both in the Spectator and on this blog and others over the past decade or so. The seething resentment of the indigenous population of England is palpable and rising to boiling point. This sort of bilge by an editor of The Spectator who is also a columnist (perhaps that should be spelled calumnist) of the once conservative Daily Telegraph, could well exacerbate their feeling to the point of uprising. On the other hand his assertions are so risible that most readers will assume it’s an April Fool’s piece (as one of the commenters suggested before the ‘comments are closed’ embargo was applied after an almost entirely negative response by reader/commenters). One wonders whether he bothers to read newspapers other than to bask in his own juvenile copy.

He continues:

Last year, for example, the Jews of Bradford were facing the closure of their synagogue. Its roof was leaking, and the few dozen remaining regulars could not afford the repairs. Its chairman, Rudi Leavor, made the decision to sell the building and face up to it being transformed into luxury flats. As things turned out, the synagogue was saved after a fundraising campaign led by a local mosque. Zulfi Karim, the secretary of Bradford’s Council of Mosques, now refers to Leavor – who fled the Nazis – as his “newfound brother”. He gave his support, he says, to protect the diversity of Bradford.

What?? Protect the diversity? Except Christian and secular indigenous population presumably. The ones who stand by and see the occupation of their towns and cities in fear of arrest by an increasingly politicized police and prosecution for ‘Islamophobia’  if they raise their voices in protest.

He continues:

“After the murder of Drummer Lee Rigby in Woolwich last year, skinheads went on the march in hope of stirring up a reaction against Muslims. It was the perfect moment, given how high feelings were running. The next week, a mosque in Muswell Hill, north London, was burnt down – an act that might, in other places, have started a cycle of reprisals. But here, the Muslims were given shelter by the local Jewish community, who offered space, laptops and whatever support was needed. Rabbi Laura Janner-Klausner said she was proud to help “our brothers and sisters of the Muslim community, emotionally and physically”.”

Ye Gods! Is that all he has to say the family of Lee Rigby and the families of other brave members of our armed services killed in action in the war being waged by Islam?

He continues:

“Such stories can be found the length and breadth of Britain, for those with an eye to see them. St John’s Episcopal Church in Aberdeen last year agreed to accommodate neighbouring Muslims, who had outgrown their mosque and had taken to worshipping outside it. The Rev Isaac Poobalan said that allowing Muslims to pray in the wind and rain would mean abandoning “what the Bible teaches us about how we should treat our neighbours”. He argued that his church was empty on a Friday lunchtime, when Muslims needed to pray.

Anyone serious about either religion will know that they both worship the same God – and their stronger ties are, in part, forged by the knowledge that they have a common enemy in secularism. The kind of secularism that would stop people wearing crucifixes and skullcaps in public, as well as the niqab. When the Council of Europe came out against religious circumcision, it was natural that Manchester’s sizeable Jewish community would protest. But less expected for Manchester’s Muslims to join them. Both have plenty to fear from the abridgment of religious freedom in a Britain that is – by some measures – the least religious country in the rich world.”

The Rev Isaac Pooblan indeed! Straight from Alice in Wonderland. I’m sorry, that’s it. I can’t repeat any more of this bilge. It is not deserving of even a fisking. The time I have left is too precious to waste on critiquing this crap. It is classic propaganda straight from the Muslim Brotherhood’s Taqiyya manual. Nelson is not just a useful eejit; he’s manifestly their agent, a  traitor to this country . My Newsagent will henceforth deliver The Times for my dead tree news. As most of you know, I cancelled my subscription of the Speccie some time ago after being a reader for well over 60 years. I will now never buy the Telegraph again.
