Reports of alleged links between Islamic charities and terrorism or extremism surged to a record high, according to the Charity Commission, a charity watchdog.

Azad Ali, an Islamist who has said that he supports killing British soldiers, was named a director of Muslim Engagement and Development (Mend), a controversial Muslim pressure group which advises the British government. Ali said that the jihadist attack at Westminster on March 22, 2017 was not an act of terrorism.

"Politicians tell us they are unafraid, but they are never the victims. How easy to be unafraid when one is protected from the line of fire. The people have no such protections." — Manchester-born singer Morrissey.

The British government refused to say whether telling people about Christianity could be a hate crime. Lord Pearson of Rannoch said that when he raised a question on the issue in the House of Lords, the government failed to state clearly whether Christians can be prosecuted just for stating their beliefs.

When you use Morrisey as a source to back up your arguments, it’s time to pack up Khandro.

For once I have to agree with ZM.

I think you have valid points but the unfortunate inclusion of Morrisey in the justification was a mistake.
Or.....
Jamshid Piruz, a 34-year-old Afghan-born Dutch citizen declared guilty of murder in the Netherlands, pleaded guilty to attacking two British police officers with a hammer. Piruz entered the UK unchallenged, despite being convicted of decapitating a Chinese woman in Amsterdam. He was sentenced to 12 years in prison for the murder, but released early. As a Dutch resident, Piruz was allowed to travel freely across the EU. "Britain has got to have tougher border controls," said MP Henry Smith.
Or.
Hani al-Sibai, a 55-year-old Islamic extremist, was granted £123,000 of public money to help him fight deportation, even though he is alleged to be a "key influencer" of the Ansar al-Sharia movement, a terror group which murdered 30 British tourists at a Tunisian beach resort. Al-Sibai, whose three-story housing association home in West London is worth £1 million, is also said to have radicalized Mohammed Emwazi, the Islamic State executioner known as "Jihadi John."
Or.
Muslim pupils outnumber Christian children in more than 30 church schools, including one Church of England primary school that has a "100% Muslim population," according to The Sunday Times. St. Thomas in Werneth, Oldham, is reported to have no Christian pupils, while at Staincliffe Church of England Junior School in Batley, West Yorkshire, 98% of pupils "come from a Muslim background." The Church of England estimated that about 20 of its schools had more Muslim pupils than Christians and 15 Roman Catholic schools had majority Muslim pupils.
Aaah, I see this was published by that extremely creditable and factually unchallengeable Gatestone institute.
You know, the ones who published articles claiming that Europe had Muslim "no-go zones", describing them as "off-limits to non-Muslims"and "microstates governed by Islamic Sharia law”

And who said the British Press had been ordered to avoid reporting the Muslim identity of terrorists by the European Union.

They also claimed that vacant homes were being seized in Germany to provide housing solutions for "hundreds of thousands of migrants from Africa, Asia, and the Middle East“

Morrisey and the Gatestone Institute. You’ll really have to do better in 2018 Khandro if you want your posts to have more credibility.
Soeren Kern - Gatestone Institute, alt right loonies, well know purveyor of lies.

Lord Pearson of Rannoch. Posh name for the founder of UKIP.

Just a gang of far right nutjobs feeding fake news to each other.
sounds like Britain 2018 news sources are the Britain 2017 news sources, then? With the possible addition of Morrissey, who claims politicians are never the victims. Did he ever metion that to Jo Cox, I wonder?
Or.
A British jihadist reportedly used social welfare payments to move his family to Syria to join the Islamic State. Shahan Choudhury, 30, who was radicalized at Belmarsh Prison while serving an 18-month sentence for stabbing to death a 17-year-old hospital worker over an alleged £15 drug debt, vanished from his apartment in London and has since used social media to urge other British Muslims to carry out terror attacks in the UK.
Or.
Khalid Masood, 52, drove a car at pedestrians on London's Westminster Bridge and, armed with two knives, stormed the parliamentary estate. He killed five people and injured more than 50 before he was shot dead by police. Masood, a convert to Islam, was born in Kent as Adrian Elms. He was unemployed at the time of the attack and had been living on social welfare benefits. Masood, who had previous convictions for assaults, including grievous bodily harm, possession of offensive weapons and public order offenses, was reportedly radicalized in prison.
You beat me to it jno.
Statements like ‘politicians are never the victims’ are so infuriatingly glib.
perhaps Ab Editor's new year resolution should be to create a stockpile of allegedlys and reportedlys for people to use in News posts.
ichkeria, I now realise ZM beat me to it. Airey Neave could be added to the list, as perhaps could Mountbatten. And there was a recent attack on Westminster bridge. It's just a nonsense statement.

All true! If you are a man, you might risk going into certain of the Paris Banlieues in the daytime, night time definitely a not (unless you are stupid). If you are a woman of European origin and dress, never! Some are unquestionably no go zones and Sharia law prevails, and the cops keep well away unless they really have to.

Morissey, I know nothing about, and you links shed little light.

Gromit, Soeren Kern is far from being a 'right wing nut job', right wing, yes, and so am I, but according to you every one not of your persuasion is.
Your knowledge of Morrisey is slightly better than your knowledge of world politics.
A strange OP really but I can't help but notice (although not surprised) that the bit about charities and extremism has been ignored.



The number of times the Charity Commission has shared concerns about links between charities and extremism with police and other agencies has nearly trebled from 234 to 630 in just three years.

The Commission also opened eight compliance cases and four formal inquiries into “allegations of abuse of charities for terrorist or extremist purposes” in 2015/16.


No that isn't from TGI

As already mentioned

Zacs; If that is the best you can do as a reply to my description 14:38, I take it that it is covering up the fact that you accept that there are Muslim no-go zones in Europe, and it was correct to publish it as so?
// The number of times the Charity Commission has shared concerns about links between charities and extremism with police and other agencies has nearly trebled from 234 to 630 in just three years. //

That rise is mostly attributed to the rise in humanitarian aid convoys to Syria. Many muslims will innocently donate to aid their fellow muslims suffering in war torn countries. Unfortunately, it is impossible to know where aid will end up, and often it is with The Free Syrian Army (FSA)and the al-Nursa Front, both fighting Assad.

In a recent case, two men were found guilty after they arranged an aid convoy, but used the trip to give £3,000 to a relative who had joined al-Nursa.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-38419488

There is an hint of hypocrisy though. The US State Department and UK Government sent $100,s of millions to the FSA, and large amounts trickled to al-Nursa and ISIS. 50 Toyota Pick up trucks given to the FSA by the US were spotted soon after bearing ISIS livery and flags.
So military aid from the US and UK Governments is acceptable, but small amounts of cash going to relatives who have gone to fight Assadare criminal and terrorist offenses.
