Defending Muslims Against What?

[naomi24]

A new group calling itself Islamic Emergency Defence (IED - which also stands for Improvised Explosive Device) has been launched. Its slogan is ‘Beware the Lions of Tawheed – Defending the Muslim Community’ - (Tawheed means attributing Oneness to Allah and describing Him as being One and Unique, with no partner or peer in His Essence and Attributes) – and its purpose is to defend the Muslim community – but against what?

Julie Siddiqi of the Islamic Society of Britain called the group “inflammatory”, but Anjem Choudary greeted the IED’s arrival by tweeting “Good news with the launch”, and saying that it had “risen to the challenge”. What challenge?

LOL.

[emmie]

Gromit, not double standards, your comment was not nice

[Gromit]

"Swarming with poles" is not nice either. Why did that remain?

[emmie]

no idea, but why did you say it... what did either comment have to do with this thread.

em10,

The question was Defending Muslims against what? It could be defending themselves against the disproportionate number of Lords and MPs who support Jewish and Israeli causes. I could have named

James Arbuthnot MP
Graham Brady MP
Alistair Burt MP
James Clappison MP
Iain Duncan-Smith MP
Liam Fox MP
Mike Freer MP
William Hague MP
Robert Halfon MP
Richard Harrington MP
Lord Stanley Kalms
Malcolm Rifkind MP
Sir Stuart Bell MP
Luciana Berger MP
Tony Blair former MP
Lord Janner Former MP
David Blunkett MP
Gordon Brown MP and former PM
Chris Bryant MP
Stephen Byers former MP
Wayne David MP
Andrew Dismore
Louise Ellman MP
Derek Foster MP
Mike Gapes MP
Anthony Greenwood MP
Andrew Gwynne MP
Fabian Hamilton MP
Joan Humble MP
Baroness Hayman
Barbara Keeley MP
Jane Kennedy MP
Ivan MP
Denis mcShane MP
Alun Michael MP, former Leader of the Welsh Labour Party[11]
Andrew Miller MP
Jim Murphy MP
Nick Palmer MP
Terry Rooney MP
Siôn Simon MP
Dari Taylor MP
Gary Titley MP
John Woodcock MP
Iain Wright MP
Alan Beith MP

But it was shorter to state that Westminster seems to have been infiltrated by another Abrahamic religion.

Not sure what swarms of poles had to do with a fire started by a lantern though.

If this group set out to protect properties their co-religionists have, such as Mosques or community centres like the one in Muswell Hill, from attacks from the far right, who could complain about that?

[emmie]

so all those listed are supporters, Jews, what is your point, other than you don't care for Jews, nor do i understand what the last part of your post is about.

[chrisgel]

Presumably anyone who thinks that you shouldn't take the law into your own hands and should leave it to the police. You know - most people.

[sandyRoe]

Would it be taking the law into your own hands if you arranged to have night watchmen in properties that might become targets?

[emmie]

they probably have people who do look after the buildings at night, not sure whether one would call them nightwatchmen, only if they are business premises, like factories....

[emmie]

those MP's must have Muslim constituents. do you think they wouldn't help them if they needed it, just because they are Jewish, odd thinking if so
