for the record

“jihad” literally means “the spiritual struggle within oneself against sin”

and the Qur’an has multiple passages directly opposing

killing innocent people  (Qur’an 5: 32)

killing children  (Qur’an 6: 151)

prejudice against a group of people (Qur’an 5: 8)

sexism  (Qur’an 49: 13)

racism (Qur’an 30: 22)

so let’s all agree that “muslim” and “terrorist” are antonyms and radical islam is exactly as dangerous as radical groups of any religion

“

Muslims make up just 6% of the population of Europe, and have consistently committed less than 0.5% of the terrorist attacks over the last 5 years. Much is still unknown about the attackers, yet already there has been a widespread consensus that this is the result of Islamic extremism. Today all Muslims in Britain are being blamed for the actions of two men. Particularly shocking was the BBC’s Nick Robinson rushing to say the men were of “Muslim appearance”, and the reporter on ITV news describes it as the “day that Baghdad style violence came to South London.”

The media’s repeated scapegoating of the Muslim population and its continual ‘clash of civilisations’ narrative must be challenged. It is time we recognise and fight against the distorted depictions of Muslims we see every day in the media. When a Muslim murders a white man it is denounced as terrorism and considered worthy of rolling news coverage but when a Muslim is killed in a racist attack, like the one on 75 year-old Mohammed Saleem in Birmingham earlier this month, it is treated as a one-off murder and largely ignored. These blatant double standards are not acceptable.

Woolwich Fascist Backlash: Essex Fascist ‘Attacks Local Mosque With Grenade’ in Braintree [Kent Mosque also attacked]

Two fascists have been arrested for attacking mosques in south-east England as the backlash against the murder of a British soldier in Woolwich begins.

In Gillingham, Kent, a fascist ran into the local mosque and started smashing windows and bookcases. Meanwhile in Braintree, Essex, it is alleged that another fascist attacked the Islamic place of worship with a knife and explosive device.

Both the fascists have now been arrested by police.

In Gillingham, one witness told Kent Online they saw a fascist enter the mosque and start smashing glass, specifically targeting cabinets containing copies of the Qu’ran.

Officers established a protective line outside the mosque to prevent further attacks.

Meanwhile, in Essex, police have released a statement confirming that officers arrested a 43-year-old fascist in Braintree, on suspicion of carrying an offensive weapon and attempted arson.

The secretary of the mosque told Channel 4 News that the fascist burst in with two knives and tried to attack the congregation, and shouted “where is your allah now?”

Witnesses also claim the attacker threw an explosive device, believed to be a grenade or gas canister. A text [above] allegedly sent by a member of the Braintree congregation has appeared on twitter, although it has yet to be verified.

The fascist, who was arrested at 7.15pm, remains in custody.

The attacks came as a congregation of Fascist EDL members clashed with police in Woolwich in protest at the earlier murder.

As reported at the scene by IBTimes UK reporter Dominic Gover, Up to 150 Fascist English Defence League supporters clashed with police in running battles outside Woolwich Arsenal Docklands Light Railway station.

The far-right supporters had gathered in response to a call by Fascist EDL leader Tommy Robinson who had called for “feet on the street” in response to the killing.

“There were no sex classes. No friendship classes. No classes on how to navigate a bureaucracy, build an organization, raise money, create a database, buy a house, love a child, spot a scam, talk someone out of suicide, or figure out what was important to me. Not knowing how to do these things is what messes people up in life, not whether they know algebra or can analyze literature.”
