Is proscription the approaching answer to radicalised Islam?

It is very sad when a major world religion is really on the point of having to be proscribed. Virtually all atrocities in the World since 9/11 have been committed by the lunatic fringe of Islam that has done nothing but bring the entire religion into ill-repute.

It is a great shame, because all of my Muslim friends, without exception, are very much like myself - they have simply been born into their religion and just pay lip service to either their parents or families to keep the peace (so to speak, i.e. stave off parents, siblings or clerics who would soil their underclothes if they knew they didn't exactly keep to Ramadan, they enjoyed a Guinness during the week, or a night out with a young lady/man not of the faith). It is such a shame.

However, unlike say the IRA running their rackets and wanting a united Ireland, Islamic extremism is driven by weirdbeard 'clerics' who want a Sharia world and simply do not tolerate anyone of any other creed who doesn't believe in, or want to convert to their warped 14th Century beliefs, blame culture and pseudo superiority complexes.

It is not helped by the warmongering multi-millionaire mad mullahs in Iran (ironic that is is actually France's fault for letting Ayatoilet Konmerchat go back in 1979 - the looneybeards seem to have forgotten that - so much for France helping Iran to establish extremism, what a pay-back they have received).

It IS coming to the stage where it has to be called what it is to perhaps embarrass the moderate norms, those who are in a leadership position, to do something about it. And the media, so often themselves the targets of these antisocial and unacceptable "Fatwahs" have to take some responsibility themselves in order to preserve their own freedoms.

I never remember Gerry Adams ever calling for the death of the editor of the Times for posting a satirical cartoon about Sinn Fein or the IRA. And that's with the IRA being founded on fact, unlike religions, where there is no proof and only fairy tales driving their beliefs (and that goes for all religions [the cult Scientology aside, founded on the need for L Ron Hubbard who actually admitted he started it because he wanted to be rich - tell that to Tom Cruise, John Travolta, Kirstie Alley, Beck, peaches Geldof and Edgar Winter] by the way, all 4,950 or so of them inhabiting the world today).

It's a hard labour for Labour

Oh for goodness sake, I wish Labour people would get a grip now, pack it in already going on at Mr Blair and concentrate now on getting rid of their inconsequential leader and his Momentum fascists and provide some proper opposition to the Tories.

Are you all so blind that you can't see what a waste of space Mr Corbyn and his £3 supporters are? You can't possibly be that silly. Or can you? Get someone in who can actually lead the party out of its morass and salvage at least some of your credibility.

Face up to it, you now need to stop fooling yourselves and being so dishonest to the British public. Mr Corbyn is a total and utter disaster. If he had anything about him, he'd admit it himself and stand down, thus at least salvaging some of his own self-respect. Posting bloody silly happy-clappy videos on his Facebook page, like all is fine and dandy.

It's not fine and dandy. Even a child can see that. Not by the remotest figment of the imagination. What is up with you?

He's actually now a liability to fine politicians and statespeople such as Hilary Benn, Margaret Hodge, Sadiq Kahn, Keith Vaz, Alan Johnson, Chuka Umunna and Dan Jarvis, to name but a few.

And please, don't go on about how he was democratically elected by the membership. It was, what seemed to a group of people at the time, a good way to refresh the party and its thinking in the wake of the General Election drubbing, but it went so spectacularly wrong that many of the MP's who supported him for leader are now more than thoroughly embarrassed. They didn't envisage he would be such a destructive force/farce.

From day one, the process was hyjacked by the Momentum fascists, their supporters, other miscellaneous Socialist miscreants and most sadly of all, by those £3 instant members (including members of the Conservatives and UKIP) who joined for no other reason than to have Mr Corbyn elected and thus prevent the future electability of the Labour Party as Government.

Of the 216 Labour MP's who turned out to vote in the secret ballot on 'no confidence', 172 voted that they had no confidence in Mr Corbyn’s leadership. Just 40 MPs voted to back Mr Corbyn, along with 13 abstentions and 4 spoiled ballots.

That's 75% voting no confidence and 81½% of total elected Labour MPs (the equivalent of an A in a state exam!) who do not support Mr Corbyn. How much more of a mandate is needed for you all to admit you are wrong and for the man to go. If the equivalent was happening in the Tory party, with 75% of Conservative MP's telling the PM to go, be honest, you'd all be at the front of the queue, braying like donkeys.

I, and I am sure many others, want there to be a credible and honest opposition to the current government, not a group of totally disillusioned Labour MP's led by someone with a mandate from a rag-tag bunch of £3'ers whose only interest is their own perverse far-left agenda.

And the 100,000 new members signed up to Labour since the Neverendum are like the people who buy the £79.95 restaurant discount 2 for1 Tastecard for £29.95 and then never use it again.

And don't get me started on Mr Ignorance (Len McCluckCluck).

The Greater Manchester Police terrorism exercise

There was a right royal storm of politically correctness when a Greater Manchester Police consultant pretended, on exercise, to be a terrorist suicide bomber and shouted "Allahu Akbar" as he fake blew himself up.  There was a national gnashing and grinding of teeth, outrage, shame and embarrassment.

By far too many people!  the ones with their eyes wide shut. The ones who engage their mouths before they even slightly engage their brains. The panderers.

It was a case of the hee-bee-gee-bees. The trouble-risers and professionally obtuse got their knickers in a twist. Those who are insulted at the drop of a hat. Not the Christians who put nup with 'immaculate deception' all the time, Jews and anti-Semitism conveniently disguised as Israel-hate, Buddhists being told they are idol mad, Sikhs and Hindus accudes of being 'towel-heads' or even the little green men-following Scientologists whom actually area barrel of laughs.

No, it was the "others".

Many are purely and simply political activists, as opposed to people active in politics, a subtle-as-a-brick difference. They are like the rent-a-mob-crew who used to plague the Jewish-owned Kedem shop in Manchester or call anyone with off-white skin "Pakis" - the fickle type who have moved on and can suddenly be found protesting about fracking or campaigning for Brexit or Brexin, or whoever pays them the most in cash without disturbing their fortnightly signing-on sessions!

The type who were happy to be recorded on video ignorantly saying "the IDF was preventing Palestinians from fishing in the Dead Sea and shooting them if they tried".

They are empty vessels who, naturally enough, have made, and continue to make, the most noise.

But sadly, we keep pandering to their noise. And it has to stop. Spades have to be called spades, not earth-upturning-cum-load-shifting-implements. Otherwise the scenario where a church (in an ostensibly Christian country!!!!) says it is taking down crosses so as not to insult a certain sector of the community will only get worse. Calling Christmas anything but Christmas has to stop. If people don't like packs of Peppa Pigs, well don't buy them then. It's as simple as that - don't expect the remainder of the community to do without because it's 'not your scene'. I don't like football, so I don't support a team. nothing could be simpler. But I don't take to the street with a banner shouting "death to football supporters". If you don't want to serve bacon or alcohol, then go work in a DIY store, call centre or professional consultancy where you don't have to deal with food or booze. It's not rocket science. It's called integration.

PC stands for Police Constable, not Politically Correct - they have a hard enough task without being vilified for a current, real-life observation. "Alahu Akbar", may, alleged, be a praiseworthy statement, but it has sadly become currently very synonymous with death, destruction and misery.

That is why it was used, in a knee-jerk fashion, during the exercise.

No apology was needed. But people have to open their eyes.

To believe you have to have faith and to have faith you have to believe . . . . .

When you look back over history, while much misery and death has been the result of conquest (Norman, Portuguese, Dutch, British) or assassination (World War I), the greatest harbinger of murder, misery and miscellaneous death has always been that in the name of religion.

Now I have always found this rather perverse. Because people causing death in the name of religion, I believe, have something fundamentally wrong with them. Committing gross acts of murder and violence because one group of people believe in something scientifically unprovable over another group of people believing in something different that is equally scientifically unprovable, is inexcusable.

Could you imagine justifying the killing of someone because they don't believe that in the 7th Century, raspberries were actually blue in colour. There is no proof either way! They are currently red. Because we can see them, buy them and eat them for ourselves. Now throw into the mix a demonstration where the group of 'Blue Raspberrians' take to the streets with placards demanding "death to all non-believers in blue-raspberries" and you can see how twisted religion can really be.

I have no problem with people believing in virgin births. I have no problem if people believe their marital sins and wife-cheating can be totally absolved by telling a celibate man in a box about it. If a science-fiction writer declares that we are descended from little green men following a nuclear explosion in a galaxy far, far away (having admitted that he started his 'religion' thinking it a great way to make money), ok. You're the fool believing it and parting with 10% of your income. If you class it as 'creation and work' to flick a light switch on at home on a Saturday, yet you feel a three-mile walk in the pouring rain and biting wind without an umbrella, to sit in your house of prayer soaking wet for three hours and then face an identical walk home is not hard work, then good luck to you. Providing you leave me alone, I do not care. You can believe that we are all descended form nettle soup for all I care, providing you leave me and my people alone!

Strange though it may seem, regardless which side of the fence you sit on regarding religion, the majority of people tend to be upstanding citizens who, unless they have opted-out of religion altogether as either atheists or agnostics, tend to follow one of the current 4,900+ religions in the world today. And as I have said, good luck to them. It is just a small minority of ignoramuses for whom nothing will divert them from their narrow-minded, closeted and bigoted view on the world and anyone who is different to them.

Perfect harbingers of this deluded form of racism are the likes of the Klu Klux Klan and other assorted lunatic right-wingers, Islamic fundamentalists, and a very hotch-potch mixture of some very confused and quite nasty nationalists and socialists throughout the world.

But ask these sick individuals why they hate Blacks, Jews, Muslims or 'non-believers' and infidels, and they really cannot answer you.

Because they don't actually know themselves.

Their fathers did likewise, as did their grandfathers and their great-great grandfathers before them.  So it has become simply a family legacy to be hateful, bigoted and racist towards fellow human beings. To accept ill-informed invective passed down through successive generations. To be devoid of any academic, social or educated reason for hating a group that is different to that of your own.

In this day and age, it is inexcusable. And to use being a complete ignoramus, is not a viable excuse either.

What exactly goes through the mind of the average BDS supporter?

The BDS - Boycott Divestment and Sanctions- is a movement, set up by an altogether mind-warped group of individuals under the aegis of a thoroughly contemptible and totally uncharitable Qatari named Omar Barghouti.

Contemptible,  because Omar Barghouti was calling for his boycott before and while he attended Tel Aviv University in Israel to gain a Master's Degree in philosophy, rather than attain his degree at a Gazan, Qatar or other Arab university. Yet the democratic rules that apply to citizens in Israel meant that while calling for his boycott, despite a petition by Israelis, Israeli law was on his side to continue and complete his studies.

Could you imagine calling for a boycott of Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Dubai or the Emirates from within any of those countries, let alone while studying at one of the universities located there? At best you'd be jailed for years, at worst, sentenced to death.

Uncharitable because, as a multi-millionaire, he lives the high life, either in his luxury apartment in Tel Aviv (Palestinians, meanwhile, are prevented from owning property in virtually all Muslim countries) or in his luxury apartment in Doha while Palestinians are forced to survive on less than $3,000 (except those who work for Israeli companies and enjoy wages at parity with Israeli workers - one of the underlying reasons the BDS are so keen to 'boycott' and thus render Israeli-employed Palestinians jobless when Israeli firms move on).

The one thing that sets the BDS movement apart from any other anti-social group in the world is that they hypocritically call for a boycott of Israeli goods and services while at the same time continuing to use Israel products themselves. They have Facebook pages; they use Apple products; they use Pentiums and Calerons; they use Twitter; they use the Windows operating system; they use smartphones to record their Jewhating rallies - in fact, they are so knee-deep in Israeli technology, that any sentient, normal-thinking person should be otherwise totally embarrassed to be associated with such a hypocritically hate-filled group.

The far more sinister side to the BDS is not just its association with the terrorist group Hamas (with it's published charter calling for the murder of Jews and the destruction of Israel), but the fact they are openly Jewhaters spreading Jewhate. They have - and continue to - demonstrate clearly on many occasions that they simply do not care about the Palestiniains thay the group was supposedly set up to help 'defend'. In total, the BDS have helped over 3,000 Palestinains in Israel lose their jobs over the past three years, 605 alone through forcing the relocation of SodaStream from the West Bank. Yet they defend their actions in closing (most companies they have forced to close have actually just relocated and as a result have ended up employing just Israeli citizens because of their new location) a mere handful of Israeli companies (with the loss of 3,000 Palestinian jobs) as "worth the course".

Yet they make no attempt to actually replace the incomes of those Palestinians they succeed in rendering jobless!

So who are the people who support BDS?

They fall into four broad categories:

1. The out and out Hamas-style Jewhaters who want to see Jews murdered and Israel disappear
2. The simpleton and often right-wing anti-Zionists, Nazis and white supremacists who use it as an excuse to pursue their Jewhating agenda
3. The naive people who are ostensibly good-hearted and misguidedly see Israel as the big brother and the Palestinians as the oppressed while failing to realise that it is in fact Hamas and the Palestinian Authority are the oppressors thought their usurping of world aid for their own end and have no intention of a peaceful settlement with Israel
4. The rich and famous, many of whom have what appears to be an anti-Semitic streak and who treat Israel as their pet hate (while, of course, ignoring other countries with problems that are far, far worse than ANY of the problems that may be in the Israel area), many of them potentially just to further advance their careers with exposure to a new audience of ignorant, young, right-wing, closet anti-Semites - Roger Waters, Brian Eno and Annie Lennox are just three celebrities who fall into this (and, it must be added, sharing some attributes of #1 above) category, while the likes of British politicians such as failed LibDem Bradford MP David Ward, ousted Baroness Jenny Tongue and Labour MP Grahame Morris consistently demonstrate an inexplicable hate for Israel and even for Jews themselves.

The one and most detestable and inexplicable thing BDS people all have in common is that they themselves continue to make full use of Israeli technology, innovation and medicine while openly calling on their supporters to boycott Israeli goods.

Perhaps given the outing of anti-Semites in the British Labour Party, it is time these detestable people were theselves boycotted by normal, reasonable citizens.

Wake up world!

As Holocaust Remembrance Day (Yom HaShoah) 2016 begins this evening for 24 hours, perhaps those who are unsure about the predicament Israel faces on a daily basis may care to view this short video of the educational theatre that Gazan children are encouraged to perform.

Yes, I may be partisan, but how many of my true friends really blame me when I get rather heated in my reaction to the consistent demonisation Israel faces at the hands of a race who so clearly do not imbue any sense of peace whatsoever in their upcoming generations?

I remind you all that In 1999 the Palestinians were offered a two-state solution by Israel giving in to 99% of their demands. Yet Yasser Arafat, the Palestinian leader declined; the world was confused. Peace on a plate. Refused.

They were then given Gaza in 2005 in exchange for peace - meanwhile 11,000 rockets and several hundred million dollars worth of collapsing terror tunnels later - nada!

Yes, I do indeed feel sorry for the average, everyday Palestinian and the situation they are in. In spite of receiving tens of billions of dollars in aid and investment, Gaza has no infrastructure to speak of. It is a crumbling country, a failed state. It could by now have been one of the most advanced states in the Middle East had the money been spent properly and had they chosen to work with Israel instead of against it (something Hamas don’t want because it will ruin the 5-star luxury their leaders enjoy in Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Dubai). It could have been a tourist hotspot (who knows, maybe Arab states competing for the tallest hotel in the world didn't want it to rain on their Guinness World record parade, and sacrificing a few Palestinians and getting the world's uneducated Jewhaters to cry "shame, all Israel's fault" was firmly on their agenda in the first place!)

Meanwhile in Gaza, roads are falling apart, hospitals are below poor (180,000 Palestinians have received treatment, without discrimination, in Israeli hospitals since 2005) and the infrastructure is some of the worst in the world.

All completely self-inflicted. Relying totally on blame-culture against Israel yet constantly and consistently crying to the world for help.

Meanwhile, Israel gets on with it, inventing technological marvels (this Facebook page for starters not to forget the Pentium and Celeron PC's you might be using and the Windows operating system installed thereon), continuing to share its scientific, medical and agricultural innovations with a world that is so quick to condemn and support thoroughly Jewhating organisations such as the Palestine Solidarity Campaign and the professionally antisocial and hypocritical Boycott movement (run, incidentally, by a Qatari Millionaire from Gaza, that is, when he's not in the luxury flat he owns in Tel Aviv following the Israeli Masters Degree he paid to study for in Tel Aviv University - is that not abject and hateful hypocrisy?)

Yes "Free Palestine", but it isn't from the Israelis they need freeing and it certainly should not continue to be free for the Palestinian elite to enjoy their millions and millions of dollars through the ongoing misappropriation of billions of world aid while citizens of Gaza continue to suffer.
If Martin McGuinness and the IRA could see sense - a sense that resulted in him shaking the hand of Her Majesty the Queen, a head of state he originally despised so much. then why can't the PA and Hamas?

Surely Palestinian citizens should be far more important than being impoverished, disposable pawns in the billionaire chess game that Hamas continue to play with such drama?

When will the world ever wake up?

Free "Palestine"? Really? Yes! It certainly has been 'free' for the past decade or more

Consider the following:

· In 1999 the Palestinians were offered a two-state solution by Israel giving in to 99% of their demands.  Yasser Arafat, the Palestinian leader declined; the world was confused. Peace on a plate. Refused.

· The Palestinian elite don't live in so-called “Palestine”; they live in Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Dubai, predominantly in 5-star hotels, driving fine cars and eating in Michelin Star restaurants

· When Yasser Arafat died it was revealed that he had some $5billion (that’s $5,000,000,000) syphoned from international aid and deposited in Swiss bank accounts in spite of never working.

· $2.1 billion of world aid has been extorted thus far since 2005 by Hamas through tithes and taxes on anything entering the country. On top of this:

· Hamas senior Dr. Musa Abu Marzook is now worth over $2billion– he has not worked in past 12 years while acquiring this fortune

· Hamas senior Khaled Mashaal worth $2.6billion (lives in 5* hotel Doha) - he has not worked in past 12 years while acquiring this fortune

· Hamas senior Ismail Haniyeh is worth $3.5billion (lives in 5* hotel Doha - owns $4million, 2,500m2 plot of land in Gaza City and 13 houses in Gaza registered in the names of each of his 13 children) - he has not worked in past 12 years while acquiring this fortune

· President Mahmoud Abbas is worth around $100million - he has not worked in past 12 years while acquiring this fortune (except as President)

· Currently in Gaza (since 2001) there are now 1,243 Hamas millionaires, up from 850 in 2012 (President Abbas himself claims there are nearer to 1,800) as well as 1,450 "near" millionaires - apart from a very few entrepreneurs, none have earned this income by working

· The Gazan unemployment rate is about 29%, with Hamas-controlled yearly wage for Gazan workers averaging $2,900

Meanwhile . . . .

In spite of receiving tens of billions of dollars in aid and investment, Gaza has no infrastructure to speak of. It is a crumbling country, a failed state. It could by now have been one of the most advanced state in the Middle East had the money been spent properly and had they chosen to work with Israel instead of against it (something other Arab states and Hamas didn’t and don’t want). There roads are falling apart, the hospitals are very poor, the infrastructure is some of the worst in the world.

Germany was flattened after World War II. So-called “Palestine” is 50 times smaller than Germany yet has been gifted 35 times more money than German did to build a state and nation which they have steadfastly refused to do. Germany rebuilt itself in the same length of time it has taken Gaza to instead fire 11,000 rockets (average of five a day) into Israel and waste hundreds of millions of dollars building terror tunnels that are now either collapsing because they couldn’t even do that correctly or being destroyed by the Egyptians or Israel.

As soon as the people who are in control of so-called “Palestine” accept peace, they will get no more free money, no more 5-star suites in Dubai for the elite and all will actually have to live in Gaza themselves amongst their people.

That is why there is no peace.

Yes "Free Palestine", but it isn't from the Israelis they need freeing and it certainly should not be free for Palestinian leaders through their ongoing personal use of misappropriated world aid.

Wake up world!
