<p>Internal files of the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC) and the FBI<span> </span><a href="https://www.scribd.com/document/488625985/Order-of-Nine-Angles" rel="nofollow">recently leaked</a><span> </span>to <em>Yahoo News</em> reveal a nefarious scheme to utilize Satanism in dissident groups as a means to demoralize activists, splinter groups, and cause individuals to "disengage."</p>
<p>The document, titled "The Order of Nine Angles Playing Influential Role Among Some RMVEs (Racially Motivated Violent Extremists)," claims the "Siege Network" (accelerationist fans of James Mason's book<em><span> </span>Siege</em>) on Telegram is a hub of Satanists belonging to a secret society called the Order of Nine Angles (O9A).</p>
<p>According to the analysts, O9A can be used as a tool for causing divisions and deradicalizing nationalists by morally repulsing them, "We assess that exposure to O9A's doctrines may increase internal conflict and loss of members among already fractious RMVE groups. Many RMVEs believe that groups espousing Satanist beliefs are ideologically impure and that their pro-Satanism members seek to destabilize the group." </p>
<p>American intelligence officials also appear to be closely monitoring right-wing internet squabbles and hoping to exploit them.</p>
<p>The FBI and NCTC refer specifically to a dispute between The Daily Stormer and AtomWaffen Division (AWD) as evidence of O9A's effectiveness in causing distractions and people giving up, "Some AWD (AtomWaffen Division) members' embracement of O9A's violent extremist interpretation of Satanism created friction in the group, which has led to multiple members leaving AWD since 2018. AWD's promotion of Satanism also led some prominent RMVEs, such as the founder of the RMVE website The Daily Stormer, to criticize AWD for allegedly allowing "satanic doomsday cultists" to infiltrate the group." </p>
<p>It should be noted that while Andrew Anglin is referred to as a "racially motivated violent extremist" in the document, he has never been charged with a crime and his website openly disavows violence. </p>
<p>The report concludes that O9A is a useful instrument for causing "disengagement" through private entities that it does not name, "In addition, some RMVEs who have become disillusioned because of an RMVE group's promotion of O9A's violent extremist ideology may be candidates for interventions by non-law enforcement partners designed to facilitate their disengagement from terrorism-related activities."</p>
<p><strong>O9A, RICU and COINTELPRO </strong></p>
<p>Two days ago<span> </span><a href="https://archive.is/RYcRh" rel="nofollow">it was revealed</a> by the<span> </span><em>Daily Mail</em><span> </span>that the UK Home Office's Research, Information and Communications Unit (RICU) had "infiltrated" the Order of the 9 Angles.</p>
<p>RICU is a<span> </span><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2016/may/02/inside-ricu-the-shadowy-propaganda-unit-inspired-by-the-cold-war" rel="nofollow">Cold War-inspired black ops unit</a><span> </span>that is dedicated to covertly manipulating the public and destroying political opposition by inventing personal smears against targeted dissidents, creating elaborate honeypots and front groups, and steering discourse around contentious topics through propaganda disseminated via intelligence operatives posing as journalists.</p>
<p>The unit, brought back in 2007, cut its teeth with Muslims, but now it is being used against nationalists to dissuade them from engaging in political advocacy. </p>
<p>Both the FBI and British Home Office publicly claim they do not know who controls the supposed Nazi, Al-Qaeda collaborating terrorist Satanic group in question, nor how many members they have. Their only presence appears to be online, mostly on Telegram and the defunct forum "Fascist Forge." </p>
<p>So far, the stateside "terror plots" blamed on O9A in the NCTC leaked document were driven entirely by undercover FBI agents and their informants, suggesting that O9A's supposed spread is inorganic. </p>
<p>In the ongoing case against US soldier Ethan Melzer, the FBI's<span> </span><a href="https://www.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.539080/gov.uscourts.nysd.539080.1.0.pdf" rel="nofollow">criminal complaint</a><span> </span>claims Melzer conspired with other Nazi Satanists in a "Siege" themed chatroom to provide intelligence on his unit's whereabouts to Al Qaeda. The supposed O9A member who talked him into the plot and organized contact with a fake Al Qaeda agent is exposed in the affidavit as a paid informant. Melzer is pleading not guilty in his case. </p>
<p>Jacob Kaderli, another young man referenced, was<span> </span><a href="https://national-justice.com/base-inside-fbis-newest-scary-story" rel="nofollow">entrapped last year</a><span> </span>by undercover FBI agents in a convoluted terror plot the federal government devised and pressured him to partake in. Kaderli was a member of "The Base," which itself was accidentally exposed as an<span> </span><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/jan/23/revealed-the-true-identity-of-the-leader-of-americas-neo-nazi-terror-group" rel="nofollow">FBI honeypot</a><span> </span>by Antifa doxers who identified Rinaldo Nazzaro, a former FBI operative and current private intelligence contractor, as its leader. </p>
<p>In Britain, most of those ensnared in government concocted Nazi-Satanist "terror" plots are teenagers. Last year, British courts<span> </span><a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-tyne-51022706" rel="nofollow">sentenced an autistic boy</a> to almost seven years in prison for being an O9A supporter and allegedly planning to blow up Synagogues and attack critical infrastructure. He was 14-years-old at the time of the supposed offense. </p>
<p><strong>British Security Service's Involvement In Combat 18 </strong></p>
<p>While the FBI's COINTELPRO program in the 1960s is well-documented, the British government has engaged in similar intelligence operations more recently. </p>
<p>When the British National Party (BNP), under the leadership of John Tyndall, began making inroads in local elections during the early 1990s, a parallel and initially friendly organization, Combat 18, emerged around the same time. </p>
<p>C18, as it came to be known, was founded by a man named Charlie Sargeant with help from American Harold Covington. </p>
<p>Initially, Tyndall enjoyed the enthusiasm of C18 members, who promised to help defend against "antifa" groups that were attacking BNP events.</p>
<p>The relationship quickly soured when C18 began attacking the BNP for its parliamentary approach, which they saw as inferior to C18's open avowal of terrorism -- "direct action" -- to achieve political ends. Later, C18 members launched a campaign of ruthless beatings of lone BNP members and became a source of gossip and slander against other nationalist leaders in the British scene.</p>
<p>In 1995, Tyndall wrote an<span> </span><a href="https://noncounterproductive.blogspot.com/p/john-tyndall-on-harold-covington-and.html" rel="nofollow">editorial</a><span> </span>in the BNP's newspaper <em>Spearhead </em>outlining C18's<span> </span><a href="https://noncounterproductive.blogspot.com/p/john-tyndall-on-harold-covington-and.html" rel="nofollow">irrational and violent war to destroy the BNP</a>, despite both sharing similar goals and enemies. In it, he states his belief that C18 was being influenced by MI5 and the Special Branch, with help from the FBI in America, in a ploy to disrupt and discredit the British nationalist movement. </p>
<p>A year and a half later, C18 leader Charlie Sargeant murdered Christopher Castle during a power struggle for control of the group with Wilf Browning. </p>
<p>According to an<span> </span><a href="https://youtu.be/Le2NXtCoMUM?t=234" rel="nofollow">investigative piece</a><span> </span>on the incident, Sargeant and Browning told police during their interrogations that they had friends in high places and wanted to speak to the Special Branch (a British counter-terrorism agency). They tried to use their service to the unit as a way to get out of trouble. Tyndall's suspicions were confirmed: Sargeant and Browning were indeed state assets and had special license to commit crimes.</p>
<p>A chapter in researcher Larry O'Hara's 1994 book <em>Turning Up the Heat: Mi5 After the Cold War</em> suggests that Combat 18 was partially organic, but then was taken over by MI5 agents and informants as both a counter-intelligence project to undermine and divide the BNP, as well as a honeypot to peel away the most violent outliers in the National Front and BNP with the intention of later entrapping them in bogus terror plots to justify their crackdowns. </p>
<p>As for C18's other "founder," Harold Covington, nationalists such as William Pierce have for decades suspected he was himself an FBI asset and agent provocateur. Covington was known for inventing lies from whole cloth about high profile nationalists in America and loudly broadcasting them, including that they were police informants, thieves, homosexuals, pedophiles, secret Jews, and other baseless gossip.</p>
<p>Left-wing activist Nick Martin filed a FOIA request to see the FBI's files on Covington in December 2018, but the government continues to<span> </span><a href="https://www.muckrock.com/foi/united-states-of-america-10/harold-covington-fbi-file-66705/#comms" rel="nofollow">drag its feet</a><span> </span>in providing them according to Martin's most recent update last month on MuckRock. </p>
<p>If Covington is confirmed to have been an intelligence operative, then MI5 and the FBI have recently collaborated in these nefarious conspiracies against nationalist dissidents. </p>
<p><strong>COINTELPRO Is Alive and well </strong></p>
<p>Looking at these documents, and the history of similar operations, it is likely that groups like O9A are little more than a psychological operation intended to demoralize activists and farm white "terrorists" they can parade for an eager, anti-white media. </p>
<p>What is certain is that both the FBI and RICU in the UK are being deployed to crush peaceful and legal political criticisms of the government and its policies. </p>
<p>To try and infuse Satanism, pedophilia and other forms of sadism into the cause of people wanting a say over their country is a tactic that governments reserve for foreign enemies. In 2021, the enemy is the people they govern.</p>

<p>In a book on Sharia Law published by Oxford University (in the 1930s and then again in the 1970s) there was an article by French Marxist and Islam expert Maxime Rodinson.

<p>I found that comment by Rodinson puzzling. Why consign it to a footnote? It seemed so important. But then his main purpose in that book was to comment on Islam, not on Catholicism. Still, as time went on I read about Vatican II and how Catholics were commanded in the 1960s to forget all they knew about Islam. This seemed to parallel what Rodinson said.</p>
<p>Then today I stumbled across a comment about Bella Dodd, senior member of the Communist Party of America, who said in the 1950s that "<span>In the 1930s we put eleven-hundred men into the priesthood in order to destroy the Church from within". So I did some research to find out if this is who she was and what she said. She published a book "School of Darkness".</span></p>

<div class="node__content"><div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"><p><strong>A London prison chaplain claims he was fired from his job of 20 years by his Muslim boss, Mohammed Yusuf Ahmed, after he was accused of "extreme" Christian views that were deemed "too radical."</strong></p>
<p>Paul Song, 48, now says that the "Christian faith is not equal" in South London's Brixton prison, and that "<strong>some people have been forced to convert with violence,"<span> </span></strong>adding "How do I know? Because three or four people came up to me to tell me. This is a very sensitive issue." </p>
<div>One inmate who served time in Brixton in 2015 has come even come forward and offered a signed a statement declaring that prisoners were forced to convert to Islam.</div>
<p>"There seems to be a very troubling lack of transparency and due process around the decision to expel this chaplaincy volunteer," says Ian Acheson, who led an independent review of Islamist extremism within prisons which found significant concerns over "the operation of some prison chaplaincies in the London area and the risks of radicalization."</p>
<p>“That sort of arbitrary action is only defensible in the case of very serious allegations. So it is baffling why he has been told that he is free to operate in any other prison, just not Brixton.”</p>
<p>Acheson added: “I made a number of recommendations after repeated concerns were raised about bullying and favoritism from imams in the field. In the light of these revelations, I would urge the new ministerial team to assure itself that the dismissal of this chaplain was fair and proportionate.”</p>
<p>Song, a former police officer in his native South Korea, says that his firing last August came on the heels of a false accusation from a Muslim inmate, who claims the chaplain referred to him as a "terrorist." </p>
<blockquote><p>Mr Song said his position at HMP Brixton came under scrutiny after<span> </span><strong>Mohammed Yusuf Ahmed became managing chaplain in 2015. </strong></p>
<p>He told the Sunday Express: '<strong>I never said those things. I would never make those comments.</strong><span> </span>I have worked in the prisons for many years with many faiths and there were no complaints. -<a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5377709/Ex-prison-chaplain-says-inmates-forced-convert-Islam.html"><em>Daily Mail</em></a></p>
</blockquote>
<p>Song claims his boss, Mr. Ahmed, said that he was set on changing the "<strong>Christian domination</strong>" within HMP Brixton, according to the <a href="https://www.thetimes.co.uk/edition/news/brixton-prison-chaplain-paul-song-ousted-as-radical-christian-d0vzlll8s"><em>Sunday Times</em></a>. The Ministry of Justice said there was “no evidence or intelligence to support this.”</p>
<p>We find this strange, as a 2016 report by the UK's Ministry of Justice shows that while Muslims make up just<span> </span><strong>one in 20 Britons</strong>, the religion accounts for <strong>one in</strong> <strong>seven</strong> inmates. One of those, the <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3447159/The-Muslim-extremists-taking-British-jails.html"><em>Daily Mail</em></a> reports, is the case of Levi Bellfield, a convicted child rapist and murderer who converted to Islam for protection while in prison:</p>
<blockquote><p>At least that’s what Rahim — a man who will be familiar to most by his real name, Levi Bellfield — hoped would happen when he converted to the Muslim faith not long after being sentenced to life for the murder and rape of schoolgirl Milly Dowler.</p>
<p>‘He found out a paedophile had been slashed in Wakefield and thought he would be next: he was a marked man after he was convicted,’ revealed his sister Ann-Marie Bellfield. ‘<strong>He said they were good boys and would look after him ... he got friendly with Islamic guys and didn’t have a problem.</strong>’</p>
</blockquote>
<p>"These gangs use their faith as a cover for violence and intimidation, threatening non-Muslims and pressuring them to convert to Islam," said Steve Gillan, general secretary of the Prison Officers Association. "<strong>I have got many prisoners who are so fearful of Muslims that they feel they need to form alliances with them for protection</strong>,’ one prison governor recently revealed.</p>
<p>Former prison officer Joe Chapman who is now a prison law consultant thinks that so-called "convenience conversions" are on the rise. </p>
<blockquote><p>‘This job takes me to 40 or 50 prisons over the year, throughout the country,’ he said.<strong><span> </span>‘It has become obvious to me that it’s a growing problem.</strong></p>
<p>‘<strong>About half a dozen of my clients have directly reported problems with being forced to convert<span> </span></strong>— those who weren’t Muslim when they came in, and those who were and have been forced to look at more radical ideas about their faith.’</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Meanwhile, Song’s treatment comes as the latest HM Chief Inspector of Prisons report on Brixton, published in March last year, stated that<span> </span><strong>some Christian classes had been dropped because the prison had been “unable to recruit a full-time Anglican chaplain since 2015,</strong>” reports <em>The Times</em>. </p>
<p>The report said that there were eight Christian leaders, including a full time Catholic with the rest part time - as well as four Muslims, two of whom were full time. </p>
<p>Several prisoners wrote affidavits on Song's behalf, describing how he helped them turn away from a life of crime. </p>
<p>“<strong>To call this Christian who has served without a blemish for almost 20 years an extremist defies belief,</strong>" says Andrea Williams, CEO of the Christian Legal Center which has been advising for Song. </p>
<p>Perhaps Song can look to London's Mayor, Sadiq Kahn for help - or maybe Song is just living in the wrong country to be a Christian prison chaplain these days. </p>

<p><strong>“Ce sont les islamistes qui tuent, pas ceux qui les dénoncent !”</strong></p>
<p><span><b>Il y a cinq ans, 73 militants du mouvement “génération identitaire” avaient occupé le toit de la mosquée de Poitiers - alors en chantier - pour dénoncer “l'islamisation du pays”. Cinq d'entre eux étaient ce vendredi au tribunal : un an avec sursis a été requis contre eux.</b></span></p>
<p><span><b>- Damien Rieu, vous aviez décidé de dénoncer l'islamisme en montant sur le toit d'une mosquée. Regrettez-vous la manière dont vous avez agi ce jour-là ?</b></span></p>
<p><span>Ce 20 octobre 2012, nous avons réclamé un référendum sur les constructions de mosquées et l'immigration en France. Nous l'avons fait, en effet, en occupant <b>pacifiquement</b> le toit du chantier d'une mosquée dirigée par un islamiste. C'est une méthode un peu cavalière, mais c'était nécessaire pour médiatiser notre message. Quand on voit ce qui se passe aujourd'hui, les 250 morts du terrorisme islamiste et la submersion migratoire, notre seul regret peut être celui d'avoir eut raison trop tôt... et de ne pas avoir été suffisamment écoutés.</span></p>
<p><span><b>- Quelle était l'ambiance à ce procès ?</b></span></p>
<p><span>Le procès a débuté avec nos déclarations. <b>Nous avons fait des révélations explosives sur l'imam de la mosquée qui dirige un institut faisant la promotion du cheick Youssef-Al Qaradawi, un dangereux prédicateur islamiste recherché par INTERPOL</b> et désormais interdit de séjour aux USA, au Royaume Uni et en France. Très concrètement, cet homme légitime les attentats suicides, la mise à mort des juifs et des homosexuels, la violence contre les femmes et a participé au financement d'Al-Qaïda. Aujourd'hui encore, quand on se rend sur le site internet de l'institut présidé par l'imam de la grande mosquée de Poitiers (Iesh.org), on trouve son nom inscrit en référence dans l'onglet "Conseils et fatwas"... L'imam a dû se justifier devant le Tribunal, mais sa défense était désastreuse. Nous sommes ensuite passés à la question du jour, et la plus importante de ce procès : peut-on encore dénoncer l'islamisme en France ?</span></p>
<p><span><b>- Et quelle a été la teneur de ce débat ?</b></span></p>
<p><span>Après avoir dévoilé le vrai visage de l'imam de Poitiers, nous avons donc eu un débat intéressant sur le droit de la liberté d'expression, en rappelant par exemple que Valeurs Actuelles avait été totalement relaxé en 2013 pour une Une bien plus dure que les slogans qui nous étaient reprochés. Nos avocats ont ensuite ridiculisé une à une les accusations grotesques de dégradations. À la fin, il ne restait plus rien... Si ce n'est peut être le sentiment que ce vendredi, c'étaient l'imam, l'UOIF et l'IESH qui auraient dû être sur le banc des prévenus.</span></p>
<p><span><b>- Ce procès était-il finalement pour vous une façon de militer ?</b></span></p>
<p><span>Le CCIF et l'UOIF, parties civiles, ont voulu utiliser la justice pour faire interdire la critique de l'islamisme en brandissant notamment l'accusation d'islamophobie. Il n'y a pas de raison de se laisser faire, surtout quand on connaît leur vraie nature. Alors oui nous en avons profité pour rendre les coups un par un. Ce sont les islamistes qui tient en France, certainement pas ceux qui les dénoncent et dont nous faisons partie jusque dans ce tribunal.</span></p>
<p><span><b>- Un an de prison avec sursis, espérez vous un tribunal moins sévère que le ministère public ?</b></span></p>
<p><span>Si le tribunal décide de nous condamner, il offrira une victoire symbolique à ceux qui veulent imposer la chariah dans notre pays.

<div class="entry-content"><p><em>[*Note. We encounter endless arguments by salafi libtards claiming there is no verification to these statistics although they are clearly verified under the links in Related]</em></p>
<p><a href="https://themuslimissue.files.wordpress.com/2012/10/london_asylum_tours.jpg?w=800&h=640" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://themuslimissue.files.wordpress.com/2012/10/london_asylum_tours.jpg?w=800&h=640&width=400" width="400" class="align-right"/></a>Modest numerical calculations based on government statistics, wikileaks and media reports reveal that the British government spend a minimum £13+ billion a year from tax revenues on unproductive Muslims. Britain is expected to have more Muslims than all of Kuwait in less than two decades. While the government is trying to create £12 billion in annual cuts by targeting the handicapped, elderly, and poor amongst it’s own citizens, they have ignored a group that is highly overrepresented above anyone else in welfare exploitation. Sweden appears to be gripped in a <a href="https://themuslimissue.wordpress.com/2012/09/26/swedish-statistics-show-muslims-are-the-core-welfare-recipients/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">similar situation</a> with the country drowning in Muslim related expenses.</p>
<p>The Daily Telegraph reported in 2012 that <span>75% of all Muslim women are unemployed while 50% of all Muslim men are unemployed (67.5% total) <span>– a staggering 350% rise from 13% for men and 18% for women in 2004</span></span><span>. M</span>uslims are also on sick leave more than anyone else, with 2001 figures revealing that <span>24% of females and 21% of males claim disability</span>. Muslims are the most likely among all religious groups to be living in accommodation rented from the <span>council or housing association (28%)</span>; 4% live rent-free (2004 figures). As if this is not enough, the total prison population in the UK amongst category A and B criminals (third degree criminals) is now 35-39% Muslim.</p>
<p>Since current statistics fail to clarify how many Muslims actually collect benefits, and whether unemployment figures <a href="https://themuslimissue.files.wordpress.com/2012/10/star.jpg?w=548&h=700" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://themuslimissue.files.wordpress.com/2012/10/star.jpg?w=548&h=700&width=274" width="274" class="align-left"/></a>include those on disability and in prison, only a crude estimate can be made. In spite of this our calculation is based only on basic, lowest payouts in Britain, meaning most additional paypits that Muslims would be entitled to are not included. The indications are nevertheless shocking: roughly <span>4.25 million Muslims</span>, or more than 85%, live off tax payers (2012 unconfirmed estimate increased <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam_in_the_United_Kingdom" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the Muslim population number from 3 million to 4.25</a>). If we average this with a simple, quick calculation of the minimum benefit payment of £67 a week granted in Britain for adults, at least £ 284,750,000 per week (£1.139 billion per month) is spent from taxpayers on Muslims who barely contribute anything whatsoever to Britain’s revenues – except making more Muslims.</p>
<p>The calculation is not detailed enough to <span>include housing benefits, childcare support, medical care and other coverage.</span> We can estimate that only in unemployment support, <span>Muslims cost the British government at least £ 13+ billion a year</span>.</p>
<h6>A more detailed calculation need to be made when there are clearer records at hand. At present the government will not publish current, clear and defined numbers and we had to find them through different sources most of it coming from wikileaks (see below). The older numbers are inaccurate and highly understated since data have shows that the Muslim population tend to double in less than a decade (in 7 years).</h6>
<p>If the same population growth continues in a steady flow, by 2030 Britain will have a 40% Muslim population. And who will feed and house them? With this type of parasitic addition to society there is simply nowhere for the British economy to go but downhills. As if that is not bad enough, 32 percent of Muslim students (born in the UK) believe killing in the name of religion is justified; 54 percent wanted a Muslim Party to represent their world view in Parliament, and <span>40 percent of young Muslims in the UK want the country to be governed under Sharia law</span> (2004 report).</p>

<div class="ndn_embed ndn_embedding ndn_embedContainer ndn-widget-embed-1 ndn_embedded"></div>
<p>Senate Bill 97, introduced by Keith Regier (R-Kalispell) bans the application of foreign law in Montana’s courts, with the debate particularly focused on Sharia Law, a form of Islamic law typically used in the Middle East.</p>
<p>Although the bill passed on party lines by 56-44, Democrats claimed it was designed to target Muslim communities.</p>
<p>“I think it sends a dangerous message to minority groups both here living in our state and wanting to come visit our state, just merely on the fact that you may be different,” said Rep. Shane Morigeau, D-Missoula, while debating the bill. “I truly believe this law is repugnant. I believe this is not who we are as Montanans.”</p>
<p>Meanwhile, Rep. Ellie Hill Smith (D-Missoula) proposed a failed amendment to the bill to include a ban on both Sharia Law and the Law of Moses, in order to “show the state of Montana that it is not just about Islamic Law.”</p>
<p>“The courts have said that laws that single out certain religions violate the First Amendment,” Smith said, claiming that it was “peppered with anti-Muslim bigotry.”</p>
<div><div class="ndn_embed ndn_embedding ndn_embedContainer ndn-widget-embed-2 ndn_embedded" id="inform-player-2"></div>
</div>
<p>Another Democrat, Rep. Laurie Bishop (D-Livingston) urged legislators “not to forget the roots of this bill,” adding that “our children are watching.”</p>
<p>Meanwhile, Rep. Brad Tschida (R-Missoula) said the bill was an attempt to push back against a “constitution [that] is constantly under assault.”</p>
<p>Bills specifically targeting Sharia Law have <a href="http://www.governing.com/topics/elections/gov-alabama-foreign-law-courts-amendment.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class=" x5l">passed in states</a> such as North Carolina, Alabama, Arizona, Kansas, Louisiana, South Dakota, and Tennessee. The bill will now be passed on to Gov. Steve Bullock (D) for signature or veto.</p>

<p>It’s such a shame that those eager to limit freedom of speech never do us the courtesy of starting with their own stupidity. I’m always amazed when people who enjoy a free, western democracy pay lip service to theocracy. It’s especially concerning when such a person happens to be a Chief Inspector for Greater Manchester Police in the UK.</p>
<p>Chief Inspector Umer Khan thought it was a good idea to <a href="https://twitter.com/ChInsUmerKhan/status/729236823902408704">share this</a> pearl of wisdom today on his <a href="https://twitter.com/ChInsUmerKhan">Twitter account</a>:</p>
<p></p>
<p> </p>
<p><a href="http://www.gspellchecker.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/image-1.png"><img title="image" border="0" alt="image" src="http://www.gspellchecker.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/image_thumb-1.png" width="377" height="357"/></a></p>
<p>Of course, any thinking person knows that’s <em>exactly</em> what freedom of speech means. Speech can never truly be ‘free’ unless it includes the right to say things some people may not enjoy hearing. Indeed, the right to ‘blaspheme’, mock sacred cows and challenge taboos is what has led to progress in any civil society. The price for this has always been ‘offense’. And the great thing about ‘offense’ is that it’s cheap.</p>
<p>By Umer Khan’s understanding, we are not free to offend people who endorse FGM, denigrate gay people as ‘sinners’ or think the appropriate punishment for adultery is death by stoning. It’s their ‘culture’, ‘tradition’ and ‘religion’ after all. Am I not free to tell a believer that some verses of the old testament are morally repugnant, lest they take offense?</p>
<p>It’s been said a million times before, and it’s important enough to be said a million times again: No-one has the right not to be offended. Offense is taken, not given. Just because you’re offended does not mean you’re right.</p>
<p>Umer Khan would say he’s entitled to his opinion of course, which is true. However, he’s clearly tweeting his opinion in his capacity as Chief Inspector. An opinion on what freedom of speech is or is not. In other words, his opinion on what the law means, or should mean.</p>
<p>It’s worth reminding Chief Inspector Khan that section 5 of the public order offence was<a href="http://www.secularism.org.uk/news/2013/02/section-5-reform-completes-its-parliamentary-progress">reformed in 2013</a> to remove the criminalisation of “Insulting words or behaviour”. It is also worth reminding the Chief Inspector that the <a href="http://www.consilium.europa.eu/uedocs/cms_data/docs/pressdata/EN/foraff/137585.pdf"><em>EU Guidelines</em></a><em> </em>clearly state that religious freedom ‘does not include the right to have a religion or a belief that is free from criticism or ridicule’.</p>
<p>With this in mind, perhaps Chief Inspector Khan could explain to the public and to his superiors why he is promoting sentiment that directly contradicts the law? I would submit that upholding the letter of the law is the bare minimum that should be expected from him.</p>

<p>In an <a href="http://www.standard.co.uk/news/mayor/zac-goldsmith-accuses-rival-sadiq-khan-of-giving-platform-to-extremists-a3224246.html" target="_blank">interview</a> with the <i>London Evening Standard</i>, Goldsmith said:</p>
<blockquote><p>"To be clear, I have never suggested he [Khan] is an extremist but without a shadow of doubt he has given platform, oxygen and cover to people who are extremists.</p>
<p>"I think he is playing with fire. The questions are genuine, they are serious. They are about his willingness to share platforms with people who want to 'drown every Israeli Jew in the sea.'</p>
<p>"It's about his having employed someone who believed the Lee Rigby murder was fabricated. It's about his career before being an MP, coaching people in how to sue the police.</p>
<p>"It just goes on and on and on. To pretend those are not legitimate questions, to pretend that by asking those questions newspapers, Londoners or my campaign are engaging in Islamophobia is unbelievably irresponsible.</p>
<p>"It is just obscene that somebody who wants to be the mayor of the world's greatest city, to be in charge of our police and security, should behave not only with such bad judgment but in a way that is totally shameless."</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Goldsmith also drew attention to Khan's ties with Suliman Gani, a Muslim cleric in Tooting, the constituency in South London where Khan is an MP. "To share a platform nine times with Suliman Gani, one of the most repellent figures in this country, you don't do it by accident," Goldsmith said.</p>
<p>Goldsmith was referring to a <i>Sunday Times</i> exposé, which <a href="http://www.thesundaytimes.co.uk/sto/news/uk_news/article1668187.ece" target="_blank">revealed</a> that between 2004 and 2013, Khan had spoken alongside Gani on at least nine occasions, "even though Gani has called women 'subservient' to men and condemned homosexuality, gay marriage, and even organ transplants."</p>
<p>Gani — who has ties to the extremist Islamist group Hizb-ut-Tahrir, and has <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/andyworthington/8679553975" target="_blank">rallied</a> in support of Shaker Aamer, an al-Qaeda terrorist who was detained at Guantanamo Bay — is also linked to the London-based Tayyibun Institute, which the British government <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/10763052/Councils-links-to-radical-Islamists-probed-by-No-10.html" target="_blank">says</a> "tolerates or promotes non-violent extremism."</p>
<p>According to the <i>Times</i>, on the night of the Paris attacks in November 2015, Gani appeared at an "Islamic question time" event in Bedford, where speakers reportedly told British Muslims to "struggle" for an "Islamic state."</p>
<p>Khan and Gani first shared a platform in August 2004 at an event organized by Stop Political Terror, a group supported by Anwar al-Awlaki, a radical American imam who was killed in 2011 by a CIA-led drone strike in Yemen. According to the <i>Times</i>, Khan spoke at least four times at events organized by Stop Political Terror, which has since merged with CAGE, a group that<a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3389556/Zealots-called-Jihadi-John-kind-notorious-organisation-bitter-public-row-calling-ISIS-killer-beautiful-young-man.html" target="_blank">called</a> the Islamic State butcher Jihadi John a "beautiful young man."</p>
<p>In an interview with the <i>Times</i>, Davis Lewin, deputy director of the Henry Jackson Society, an anti-extremism think tank, <a href="http://henryjacksonsociety.org/2016/02/15/labours-khan-joined-radical-imam-at-rallies/" target="_blank">said</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>"Gani has campaigned on behalf of convicted terrorists, appeared at events designed to undermine government counter-radicalization strategies, including sharing platforms with a pro-terrorist organization such as CAGE, and is said to hold repugnant views about women and the lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans community.</p>
<p>"Given that the UK, and London in particular, is a major target for Islamist-inspired terrorist attacks, it is intolerable to see any politician, much less one seeking such a vitally important office as mayor of London, associate with an individual such as this.</p>
<p>"Mr Khan's reportedly repeatedly sharing a platform with this man, whose views are widely available, is deeply alarming."</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Khan also spent years campaigning to prevent Babar Ahmad from being extradited to the United States on charges of providing material support to terrorism. Ahmad, who admitted his guilt, later <a href="http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-35774163" target="_blank">said</a> that his support for the Taliban was "naïve."</p>
<p>In 2002, Khan <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3454560/Sadiq-Khan-defends-legal-work-representing-man-described-white-people-devils-insisting-worst-people-need-defence.html" target="_blank">represented</a> the leader of the Nation of Islam, Louis Farrakhan. Khan tried to reverse a decision by the Home Office, which had banned Farrakhan from entering the UK due to fears that his anti-Semitic views would stir up racial hatred. Farrakhan has <a href="https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1955&dat=19951013&id=xSAyAAAAIBAJ&sjid=OqIFAAAAIBAJ&pg=5082,8790082&hl=en" target="_blank">called</a> Jews "bloodsuckers" and <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/1984/06/29/us/tape-contradicts-disavowalof-gutter-religion-attack.html" target="_blank">referred</a> to Judaism as "a gutter religion."</p>
<p>At the time, Khan <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3454560/Sadiq-Khan-defends-legal-work-representing-man-described-white-people-devils-insisting-worst-people-need-defence.html" target="_blank">said</a>: "Mr. Farrakhan is not anti-Semitic and does not preach a message of racial hatred and antagonism." Khan <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk/1959105.stm" target="_blank">added</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>"Farrakhan is preaching a message of self-discipline, self-reliance, atonement and responsibility. He's trying to address the issues and problems we have in the UK, black on black crime and problems in the black community. It's outrageous and astonishing that the British Government is trying to exclude this man."</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Khan now <a href="http://jewishnews.timesofisrael.com/sadiq-khan-i-represented-unsavoury-individuals-but-extremism-claims-are-desperate/" target="_blank">says</a>: "Even the worst people deserve a legal defense."</p>
<p>In 2004, Khan was the chief legal advisor to the Muslim Council of Britain, a group <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/muslim-brotherhood-review-main-findings" target="_blank">linked</a> to the Muslim Brotherhood. Khan defended Yusuf al-Qaradawi, an Egyptian-born Islamist who has been banned from entering the UK. Al-Qaradawi has expressed support for Hamas suicide bombings against Israel: "It's not suicide, it is martyrdom in the name of Allah." According to Khan, however, "Quotes attributed to this man may or may not be true."</p>
<p>Also in 2004, Khan <a href="http://www.standard.co.uk/news/mayor/sadiq-khan-shared-platform-with-five-islamic-extremists-a3231436.html" target="_blank">shared</a> a platform with a half-dozen Islamic extremists in London at a political meeting where women were told to use a separate entrance. One of the speakers was Azzam Tamimi, who has said he wants Israel destroyed and replaced with an Islamic state. Another speaker was Daud Abdullah, who has led boycotts of Holocaust Memorial Day. Yet another speaker was Ibrahim Hewitt, a Muslim hardliner who <a href="http://www.globalmbwatch.com/2014/04/23/uk-muslim-brotherhood-leader-head-school-receiving-taxpayer-money-ibrahim-hewitt-adulterers-stoned-death/" target="_blank">believes</a> that adulterers should be "stoned to death."</p>
<p>In 2006, Khan <a href="http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/politics/6917684/Sadiq-Khan-attended-rally-with-extremist-Muslim-leader-who-threatened-fire-throughout-the-world.html" target="_blank">attended</a> a mass rally in Trafalgar Square to protest the publication of cartoons of Mohammed by Western newspapers. One of those present at the rally was Tamimi, who told Sky News: "The publication of these cartoons will cause the world to tremble. Fire will be throughout the world if they don't stop." Khan <a href="http://www.standard.co.uk/news/mayor/zac-goldsmith-accuses-rival-sadiq-khan-of-giving-platform-to-extremists-a3224246.html" target="_blank">defended</a> Tamimi: "Speakers can get carried away but they are just flowery words."</p>
<p>In 2008, Khan <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3270034/Sadiq-Khan-Labour-s-candidate-London-mayor-filmed-praising-Islamic-TV-station-advocated-marital-rape-violence-against-women.html" target="_blank">gave a speech</a> at the Global Peace and Unity Conference, an event organized by the Islam Channel, which has been censured repeatedly by British media regulators for extremism. Members of the audience were filmed flying the black flag of jihad while Khan was speaking.</p>
<p>Also in 2008, Khan <a href="https://www.fabians.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/FairnessNotFavours.pdf" target="_blank">wrote</a> that Turkey should be allowed to join the European Union in order to prove that the bloc is not a "Christian Club" that discriminates against Muslims:</p>
<blockquote><p>"Muslims across Europe will see the question for Turkish admission to the EU as a clear test of European inclusion. If the door is slammed shut it will be understood by 20 million Muslim citizens of the EU that the basis of the decision to treat Turkey differently to new members like Bulgaria or Romania has been made on the basis that Europe is a 'Christian Club.'</p>
<p>"Some will see this as a clear indication that Muslims can never be a part of the story of Europe or the West. That will undermine everybody working to say that of course one can be British, European and Muslim, or French, European and Muslim."</p>
</blockquote>
<p>In 2009, when Khan was the Minister for Community Cohesion in charge of government efforts to eradicate extremism, he gave an interview to the Iran-backed Press TV. He <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3572015/Sadiq-Khan-branded-unfit-London-Mayor-emerges-called-moderate-Muslim-s-Uncle-Toms.html" target="_blank">described</a>moderate Muslims as "Uncle Toms," a racial slur used against blacks to imply that they are too eager to please whites.</p>
<p>In the same interview, Khan <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3572015/Sadiq-Khan-branded-unfit-London-Mayor-emerges-called-moderate-Muslim-s-Uncle-Toms.html" target="_blank">expressed support</a> for boycotts of Israeli products: "You know, there's nothing wrong, and I encourage people to protest, to demonstrate, to complain, to write into newspapers and TV, to, if you want to boycott certain goods, boycott certain goods — all lawful means open in a democratic society."</p>
<p>In 2012, Khan <a href="http://hurryupharry.org/2012/06/30/fosis-and-sadiq-khan/" target="_blank">addressed and praised</a> the Federation of Student Islamic Societies (FOSIS), an umbrella group founded by activists from the Muslim Brotherhood. The British government has<a href="http://standforpeace.org.uk/federation-of-student-islamic-societies-fosis" target="_blank">criticized</a> FOSIS for promoting Islamic extremism.</p>
<p>In 2014, Khan <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/aug/06/warsi-resignation-right-gaza-israel" target="_blank">expressed support</a> for Baroness Warsi, who resigned from Prime Minister David Cameron's cabinet because she felt that Cameron was insufficiently critical of Israel. In an essay for the <i>Guardian</i>, (which has now been <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/aug/06/warsi-resignation-right-gaza-israel" target="_blank">removed</a> from the Guardian's website) Khan wrote:</p>
<blockquote><p>"Warsi must be listened to when she says, 'our response to [Gaza] is becoming a basis for radicalization that could have consequences for us for years to come' [...] The government's failure to criticise Israel's incursion is not just a moral failure — it goes directly against Britain's interests in the world and risks making our citizens less safe as a result."</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Commentator Anthony Posner <a href="http://jewishmediaagency.com/london-mayoral-election-sadiq-khans-dodgy-dossier/" target="_blank">wrote</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>"Although Khan has assured Londoners that he would not use the mayoral office as 'a pulpit to pronounce on foreign affairs,' one wonders if he would really be able to remain neutral if London was once again dealing with large anti-Israel demos. On the basis of his response to Warsi's resignation, it seems unlikely that he would show restraint."</p>
</blockquote>
<p>In March 2016, Khan was pressured to fire a top aide, Shueb Salar, after the <i>Daily Mail</i> <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3479734/Aide-Labour-s-London-mayor-candidate-Sadiq-Khan-said-Rigby-killing-faked-posted-scenes-sexist-homophobic-comments-Twitter.html" target="_blank">revealed</a>that Salar was sending misogynistic messages on social media: "Along with homophobic and sexist comments, Salar jokes about rape and murder, claims Bengali people 'smell' and said he thought the slaying of soldier Lee Rigby by extremists in 2013 may have been fabricated."</p>
<p>In May, a close ally of Khan, Labour politician Muhammed Butt, <a href="http://jewishnews.timesofisrael.com/brent-council-leader-apologises-for-post-calling-israel-a-terrorist-state-like-isis/" target="_blank">apologized</a> for sharing a Facebook post which compared Israel with Islamic State.</p>
<p>In an election debate aired by the BBC on April 18, Khan <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2016/apr/19/sadiq-khan-regrets-giving-impression-he-shared-extremists-views" target="_blank">said</a> he had "never hidden" the fact that he had represented "some pretty unsavory characters." When asked if he regretted sharing a platform with extremists, he said: "I regret giving the impression I subscribed to their views and I've been quite clear I find their views abhorrent."</p>
<p>Labour MP Rob Marchant <a href="https://inews.co.uk/opinion/im-labour-supporter-i-think-goldsmith-point-sadiq-khans-extremist-links/" target="_blank">said</a> he was worried about Khan's links to extremists, but that he should be given the benefit of the doubt:</p>
<blockquote><p>"While this dabbling with Islamist politics may well have been more to do with a streak of ruthless populism in Khan in building political support, than a genuine meeting of minds with the Islamists, it does cast some doubt upon both his judgement and his values."</p>
</blockquote>
<p>By contrast, British politician Paul Weston, who has long cautioned about the Islamization of Britain, <a href="http://gatesofvienna.net/2016/05/the-innocence-of-sadiq-khan/" target="_blank">warned</a> that Khan's rise is a harbinger of things to come:</p>
<blockquote><p>"The previously unthinkable has become the present reality. A Muslim man with way too many extremist links to be entirely coincidental is now the Mayor of London. I suppose this is hardly a shock, though. The native English are a demographic minority (and a rapidly dwindling one) in London, whilst Muslims from Pakistan and Bangladesh are a rapidly expanding demographic.....</p>
<p>"In a couple more decades Britain may well have its first Muslim Prime Minister, and I think we can safely assume he will be of the same ideological stock as Sadiq Khan.... Reality cannot argue with demographics, so the realistic future for Britain is Islamic."</p>
