Islam - just an empty bottle at the end of the day

Brave Sir Anjem Choudary ran away he bravely ran away…

So Islam4UK bottled it again. Not a big surprise there.

The idea that Anjem Choudary would actually try and march with his merry band of clitoris chopping madmen through such sacred and hallowed ground was always absurd, designed only to foster the reaction it did.

The bigger the target and the more outraged that indigenous people got the better publicity for Choudary. I just heard him being quoted on Australian AM radio, its fair to say he is a little famous now.

Let’s be clear here, the only British people who make it on to Australian airwaves are high profile sports people, mindless celebrities [including royalty] and soulless politicians. I assume that Choudary has not yet pulled on a shirt for Chelsea [yet] so he must be in one of the latter categories.

This man has done very well out of his provocative uttering’s. To judge by web chatter he is not a big fish in the hard-line Islamic community, older heads in that scene see him as being a shameless self promoter who does more damage than good.

But from the perspective of the man himself the recent controversy and his backing down have done him quite well. His name and the name of his group are on the lips and in the ears of every young radical Muslim in Britain. This must really annoy the old timers in the mosques, but that’s life fellas, in the age of multimedia promotion simply sticking your head out a minaret and yelling is not the best form of communication anymore.

Anjem Choudary is a chancer; he has gained a little authority through the Sharia courts movement and is currently trying to play that authority into a raging storm of publicity. And helpfully, the media is aiding him.

It’s clear that Choudary probably never intended to march through the town; the highly shaky government looking for populist causes in the run up to an election would never have allowed it. Labour may be in hock to the Islamic block vote, but banning that march would have gained them more votes from every other community in Britain, not just the indigenous community, than they would have lost in the Mosques.

So who are the winners out of this merry farce? This intricate role-play of media, big government Islam and the resistance?

Well Brown has done well because somehow in the oceans of newsprint he has emerged looking like a figure of strength for the first time since he took over the government. That this is at all possible is a testament to the blatant delusion of the media classes in the west, who truly do live in their own world and half believe that they create the world around them.

The media has done well because they have helped to put Anjem Choudary in the limelight again, thus making him a more recognisable figure, and thus more newsworthy the next time he wants publicity. There is nothing journalists like more than create stories for themselves tomorrow. They know Choudary, they know how to contact him and they know he is good for an outrageous quote. Journalists hate actually working for a living. Going out and finding out what is actually happening in the world is not so easy; they much prefer to manufacture the content of their rags themselves. Anjem Choudary and others like him help them to do that.

The various nationalist and anti-islamist groups like the BNP and the EDL got publicity out of the issue in a relatively dry press period for both groups. What’s more both groups managed to get themselves in the news opposing the march of an obvious nutter, pretty hard for the press to spin that against them.

The reason that groups like the BNP are either not named or buried in the news surrounding Anjem Choudary’s cancellation is because the press does not wish to give any group credit where it is deserved. Journalists like taking credit for things, it keeps them feeling warm and helps them to fill the gaping hole where their ethics and soul used to be.

The outcome of this issue has resulted in minor wins to Brown and the BNP, medium wins for the press [who, like stockbrokers or real estate agents, win whatever the outcome] and a major win for Anjem Choudary.

Islam4UK is a marginal group; it has support amongst some hardline Muslims but by no means a huge number. This publicity will attract more young radicalised youths to Anjem Choudary even as it drives away more “respectable” hardline extremists who don’t see much of a point in kicking up a fuss seeing as Islam is winning through the birth canal and colonisation anyway.

So should we applaud Anjem Choudary or not? Personally I say yes. Every time he opens his mouth more indigenous people break through the mirror of lies and deceit about Islam put up by various press and government spin doctors. Every time the government line is shown up as the lie it is should be seen as a victory for common sense, and another turn of the ratchet that will surely one day lead to the downfall of the fascist totalitarianism that is the politically correct worldview.

Tax is theft

The BBC does not represent the people who pay its licence fee. The indigenous people’s interests are not served by the BBC yet they are forced to pay for it.

What happens if you refuse to pay? What happens if you refuse to pay any tax?

They give you a fine.

If you refuse to pay that they send around thugs with weapons wearing the uniforms that generations of British people grew up trusting and respecting. If you still refuse to pay for this “service” or the fines they give you for it they will throw you in jail. If, when you are released, you refuse to pay again, the process begins again, ending in a longer jail term.

Useful idiots and “Right wing” corporations

BP and Shell, both major oil companies, are also major funders of the climate alarmism conference currently being held in Copenhagen.

The usual line against anyone who questions the need for the entire world to be regulated by international bodies with powers of taxation and enforcement in order to “save the planet” is that such strange weirdoes only exist because the “Fossil fuel industry” is bankrolling them.

You can find this argument used whenever the seriously dodgy foundation of the argument for man made global warming starts being debated. George Monbiot has been whining about it again, desperately trying to repair his tattered faith after the revelations of the climategate scandal.

It’s hard not being green

In the first week of December 2008, blizzards closed roads and schools across northern England and Scotland. Large parts of the UK were blanketed with snow for the third time in the 2008-09 winter. At the same time the UK government's Committee on Climate Change issued its first report on how Britain is to handle the terrifying threat of runaway global warming. Nature certainly has a keen sense of humour.

It’s pretty hard to get published in this day and age. As any aspiring writer will tell you, it’s very hard to get a deal without being signed to a literary agent, and the best literary agents only want to sign published authors.

Unless you have a book to call your own and a decent amount of sales under your belt it’s not really very easy to break into the market. If you are trying to publish an authoritative non fiction tome it really does help to have an academic position somewhere along the line. But recently one man had all these things and was still turned down.

What is Jihad?

There seems to be a bit of confusion over what exactly IS referred to by the word ‘Jihad’.

Tony Blair, Gordon Brown and almost every Muslim spokesman tells us that jihad means a ‘peaceful inner struggle’. And while it seems almost improbable that the above personages would be telling the truth, they are.

Jihad DOES mean peaceful inner struggle. The people who tell us this are not exactly lying by their words, but they are certainly lying by omission. If this is more out of ignorance or cunning is of course impossible to say.
