Sadiq Khans Mosque Security Pledge

[retrocop]

It was announced on the BBC London news tonight that the Mayor of London has acceded to the wishes of Muslims in London to grant millions of pounds to assist in the security of Mosques.No doubt as a result of the attack on two Mosques in Christchurch. Whilst it would be abhorrent for a similar attack on any place of worship in the UK it would be irresponsible to ignore that particular threat. That is a given.
Does any one believe the Muslim Council of Great Britain will actually meet any security measures suggested half way if their security is to be subsidised by Londoners?
It would be horribly ironic should a 'being' enter a Mosque disguised head to foot in a Burka carrying a couple of MAC 10 or Scorpion miniature under their garb and perpetrate a similar massacre. Will Muslim women be allowed to continue to wear this hideous dress or,indeed,subject themselves to a strict body search when entering a Mosque? If not. So called increased security will be a sham.

//Addressing the Home Secretary directly, she added: "I ask the Home Secretary, who has kindly joined us today, to respond to calls for increased spending on the protection of all religious institutions that are at risk, and urgently for mosques."//

//Mr Khan said: "What the Muslims who are here are saying is, 'Don't take the money away from the Jewish synagogues and the Jewish schools, but we've seen the difference that additional financial support can provide to Jewish schools and we think the same sort of support should be given to Islamic places of worship and Islamic ethos schools'."

He is set to write to Mr Javid on the issue of funding for security for mosques across the country. //

The most likely victims of violence here in Europe are Jews and their synagogues - vide France. And this not because of a rise in "Far-Right" political parties, but because of the rapid growth of of Europe's Muslim populations.

The first attack on a mosque in the UK was, if I remember, carried out by a drunken Pole armed with a rasher of bacon. He was suitably punished by being sentenced to a year in jail where he unfortunately died. Obviously future such attacks can't be ruled out.

The wedge just got thicker.

The New Zealand attacker did not need to dress as a woman to gain entry to the Mosques. If you have an automatic machine gun, then fancy dress is optional.
Nice try at pre-empting the blame if such horrors visit our shores.

That's a post and a half, isn't it?

Where did the if come from?

Try googling "Nice+terror".

VE,
Is Nice in the UK?

Our shores are not on the Mediterranean.

TGV from Nice to Gare du Nord. Eurostar to St Pancras.

Meanwhile, the remaining non-Moslem citizens will just have to be content with dwindling police cover and politicians 'working really hard' to keep them safe.

A spokesman for pre-stabbed citizens said 'Are you really shocked by this? There was an opportunity for publicity and it was taken, the rest can look after themselves.'

Pity he doesnt do more on knife crime.

I guess black people are not his core voters.

//The Most Rev Justin Welby was applauded when he made a commitment to discuss how, through the teaching of an estimated one million children at Church of England schools "we can be more effective in our education to be one people".//

...unless they decide to strike in protest.

Oh,and 'to be one people' - of which religion would that be then?

Now all we need is a prominent spokesman for the Islamic community to extend that to Muslim schools. I won’t hold my breath.

You read my mind Naomi ;-)

//He said they had raised concerns about language used by politicians "that could've led to some of the behaviour and actions we've seen not just in Christchurch but in this country".//

Well,in response Mr Javid stated he wasn't included in those MP's whilst looking for his pen to sign Shamima's termination of citizenship papers from his holiday base...

"Will Muslim women be allowed to continue to wear this hideous dress"

Yes. And the fact it's apparently "hideous" is your personal opinion.

You know the burka liberates some women? You know it's depicted across almost all religions, in Christianity you may see a nun wearing something similar to one.

[ummmm]

Nuns don't cover their faces.

I don’t think they compare, spath.

Neither does the hijab

but you could still carry a MAC 10 or Scorpion miniature under the garb
