The rise of the far-right and anti-Muslim bigotry

By Shikwa | Published: August 11, 2009
Last weekend saw some ugly scenes in Birmingham when a group calling itself Casuals United held a protest in the City Centre. There was a similar protest held in Birmingham last month well. Casuals United say they are only opposed to Islamist extremism but that is not the case. The group is little more than a [...]

Yahya Birt hits the nail on the head

By Shikwa | Published: August 8, 2009
Last month the Centre for Social Cohesion (CSC) published a report on the BNP authored by Edmund Standing which caused quite a stir. The controversy stemmed from a baseless and, frankly, absurd allegation that CSC was deliberately seeking out to minimise and downplay anti-Muslim bigotry. The insinuation behind that charge is pretty clear and you [...]

More Hizb ut Tahrir entryism

By Shikwa | Published: August 4, 2009
Majed Iqbal is a typical Hizb ut Tahrir entryist. He’s a busy boy in his hometown of Rochdale these days – what with trying to create a Caliphate and all that, it’s remarkable he has time for anything else. But he does. By night Majed moonlights as a journalist, trying to pass off his wildly racist [...]

Bunglawala, he’s not Bright!

By Shikwa | Published: July 19, 2009
Earlier this week, Inayat “Mr Bean” Bunglawala’s Engage wrote a characteristically stupid piece libelling Martin Bright under the headline: “Veteran Islamophobe Martin Bright criticises MCB libel win”. Martin was rightly upset with that slur observing: “I object in the strongest terms to the way the insult  “Islamophobe” is thrown around so casually. It is essentially a charge [...]

The Friday Caption Competition – 17/07/09

By Shikwa | Published: July 17, 2009
This week’s competition is dedicated to Abdul Rehman who enjoys it so much. The picture is of Massoud Shadjareh, head stooge of the Khomeinist, Islamic Human Rights Commission. This week his outfit issued a sick and grovelling (not to mention belated) press release on events in Iran. As ever, captions in the comments box below.

The British National Party took their seats in the European Union yesterday marking a real low-point in the modern history of British politics.Full credit to Diane Dodds, the Democratic Unionist, who refused to take up her seat next to BNP member Andrew Brons. The tireless campaigners from ‘Hope Not Hate‘ also submitted a petition with 88021 [...]

Dog Bark Politics

By Shikwa | Published: July 10, 2009
I’m replicating below an important and brilliant post by Dave Rich of the CST. You’ll remember, this is the same CST those insane fools at the IHRC falsely accused of ‘Islamophobia’ before we dismantled their arguments here and the CST blew them out of the water here. ****************************** On Wednesday Nick Griffin, BNP leader and newly-elected Member [...]

The Friday Caption Competition – 10/07/09

By Shikwa | Published: July 10, 2009
It’s that time of the week again folks! This week we’re featuring “Dr Evil” from Hizb ut Tahrir. The picture below is of its media spokesman, Dr Imran Waheed, a man whose massive ego is eclipsed only by the expansiveness of his waistline. Pity him, its been a bad week for his jihad-loving outfit. As ever, captions [...]
