How is this not Racially Motivated



Muslim daubs war memorial with 'Islam will dominate the world' - but walks free after CPS says he was NOT racially motivated

That is the headline to this article.

An Extract

A Muslim protester who daubed a war memorial with graffiti glorifying Osama Bin Laden and proclaiming 'Islam will dominate the world' walked free from court after prosecutors ruled his actions were not motivated by religion.

Tohseef Shah, 21, could have faced a tougher sentence if the court had accepted that the insults - which included a threat to kill the Prime Minister - were inspired by religious hatred.

But - citing a loophole in the law - the Crown Prosecution Service chose not to charge him with that offence and he escaped with only a two-year conditional discharge and an order to pay the council £500 compensation after admitting causing criminal damage.

All I have to say is, what would of happened if someone had written something like;

'Christians will dominate the world' On a muslim memorial?

Would the Christian be let off, like Tohseef Shah, with a £500 fine. I don't think so.

He would be up on a racial and religious hate crime, and probably be sent to prison.

Incidents like this must be punished properly by the law courts.

'Environmental Discrimination'

Just read this article

The headline;

Worker wins £100,000 after 'environmental discrimination'

A worker has won almost £100,000 because his firm discriminated against his environmental views after a landmark legal ruling placed them on a par with religious beliefs.

An extract;

Tim Nicholson, 42, was made redundant in July 2008 from his £77,000-a-year post as head of sustainability with Grainger, the UK’s biggest residential landlord.

He was preparing to sue his former employer, alleging that his redundancy was a direct result of his green opinions about the dangers of climate change - which put him at odds with other senior executives within the firm.

At a preparatory hearing last year, a judge ruled that his belief in climate change was legally akin to a religious belief and should be protected from discrimination.


Well people have said that climate change has turned into a religion. Can it now becoming legal?

How the hell is belief in climate change the same as belief in a religion?

Who is their god, Al Gore?

Is this a late April fools joke?

I thought science and religion don't make good bed fellows.

Another Nail in the Coffin for Justice

A few days ago i wrote this blog about the seven muslim protesters disrupting a home coming parade by the Royal Anglian Regiment, and how they refused to stand up in court to show respect to the judge and the court.

Now the seven muslim men were found guilty.

Their punishment, a £500 fine. Which they admit we, the tax payer, will have to pay because all of them are on benefits.

You can read newspaper articles here, here and here

Here is an article of the damage they have caused to the community.

Judge Carolyn Mellanby has basically given the far right parties more ammunition and more followers to their cause.

It's not just this case, but many other criminal cases where people are found guilty of a crime and the sentence is just a joke.

Justice in this country is becoming a joke, if it isn't already.

A lesson for Anjem Choudary

This article in the Daily Mail should show the British public what real British muslims are like. Completely opposite from the other muslims my previous blog.



The majority of British muslims are law abiding people who hate what Choudary is doing.

This is a quote from the article;

That is why the sight of Mr and Mrs Latif solemnly standing shoulder to shoulder with everyone else in Wootton Bassett should be drawn to everyone's attention. For their story is the story of real British Muslims, not the cataclysmic fantasy of an egomaniac like Choudary.

There is a lot of anti muslim feeling in this country, but the extremists are in the minority of the real muslim people.

There are extremists in all religions not just muslims. I just hope the law abiding muslims of this country rise up and stop the extremists like Choudary from turning young muslims against this country.

Why weren't they charged with Contempt of Court?

If you are in a court of law and the judge walks in everyone must stand up to show respect to the court and the court officials.

If you don't you can be charged with contempt of court.

This article in the Telegraph has me wondering, how far will the judge give leeway to the accused.

Here is a quote from the article;

The accused are seven muslim men who are accused of disrupting the homecoming parade of the 2nd Battalion The Royal Anglian Regiment last March. As the soldiers paraded through the town, the men were allegedly heard to shout: “British soldiers go to hell” and “They are killing babies”. They were also allegedly seen to display placards with slogans such as “Butchers of Basra” and “Cowards, Killers, Extremists”, and so face charges under the Public Order Act.

These men live in this country and they should abide by the laws of this country. They were arrested for breaking the laws of this country and are now on trial.

Here is the quote from the article that makes you wonder what will happen in this trial;

When the case opened, the accused refused to stand for Miss Mellanby. Their religion, they argued, forbids them to stand for anybody except Allah, and they were therefore unable to show their respect for the court’s officers in the customary manner.

What do you think the judge did next;

Did she charge them with contempt of court, or change hundreds of years of common law.

What she did was arrange it so the accused men would enter the court after the judge.

Now i ask you, WHY?

The last paragraph of the article says;

It’s up to District Judge Mellanby to decide whether these men are guilty of “threatening abusive or insulting behaviour”, and we, of course, expect that she will do so in a fair and proper manner. But we should keep an eye on the case, to see if she brings in any other radical legal innovations, overturning centuries of common law, in the process.

This case does make me uneasy. If she gives in on them not standing when she enters the court what else will she do?

Return of the Jedi (Will he though after being ejected from Tesco)

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/6204199/Jedi-ejected-from-Tesco-for-wearing-hood.html

I am all for religious freedom, after all somewhere in the region of 400,000 people put down Jedi as their religion in the last census in the UK. I do hope 'Morda Hehol' does return to Tesco.

I like Star Wars, a lot, and i can understand why people might want to live as a Jedi. When i was 8 years old i saw Star Wars, for the first time, and i was so captivated by what i saw, it was a defining moment for me as a kid. Nothing prepared me for the WOW factor of that film.

If anyone wants more information to become a Jedi i have found this website that might interest you.

And the Jedi faith has some powerful allies in the use of the force;
