A new report released today by the Centre for Social Cohesion (CSC) and Nothing British exposes violent ideology of white supremacism. Featured in yesterday’s News of the World, Blood & Honour: Britain’s Far-Right Militants analyses the threat posed by white supremacist militant network, Blood & Honour (B&H). Click here to download full report.
B&H is an international neo-Nazi network that has evolved from its original incarnation as a neo-Nazi music scene into a far-right franchise.Through music CDs and ideological texts, the B&H network reinforces and disseminates a violent ‘white power’ supremacist ideology, encourages terrorism and spreads racial hatred. This ideology derives from Third Reich Nazism and B&H seeks the creation of a ‘Fourth Reich’. While it is not an organisation with official membership, B&H acts as an effective international network through which to spread violent neo-Nazism.
Connections to Far-Right Terrorism
A number of recently convicted far-right terrorists were found to be followers of B&H music and literature:
Meanwhile over at Idiotphobia Watch, where comments are disallowed, Robert Pitt refers to a Telegraph article and concludes with this unforgivably stupid howler:
And this was accompanied by another article, about Anwar al-Awlaki, entitled “Detroit bomber’s mentor continues to influence British mosques and universities” – which would seem a bit unlikely if you accept the Yemeni government’s claim that he was killed in a recent air strike.
The same article that Pitt cites also contains a quote from Yemen’s deputy prime minister for defence and security affairs, Rashad Mohammed al-Alimi, in this passage:
It had been thought the extremist cleric had been killed in a Christmas Eve air strike on the house, in the southeastern Yemen province of Shabwa, but Mr al-Alimi said [al-Awlaki] is believed to be still alive.
Pitt was too busy trying to score cheap “Islamophobia” points to read the facts.

SIOE Leader Stephen Gash had said that the SIOE demo at Harrow Central Mosque yesterday would attract 2,000 supporters out of the 3,200 he claimed as total membership for his organisation. However, the BBC reports that fifteen SIOE protesters turned up in Harrow. Although from my estimates, fifteen is possibly overly generous of Aunty.
Asim Siddiqui sees at least one encouraging sign in the rise of white-race supremacist movements of the far-right resurgent all over Europe and now getting its freak on in Britain:
The Centre for Social Cohesion has this disturbing news:
Haringey Council has announced today that it has resumed funding to the Islamic Shakhsiyah Foundation (ISF), a registered educational charity with links to HT. Funding was suspended in October this year following revelations by the CSC and Sunday Telegraph that it received over £113,000 in government grants for its schools in Haringey and Slough in 2007/08. The Haringey Council investigation claimed to have found no evidence of ‘inappropriate influence’ at the ISF school in North London.
Here are two documents that should be made required reading for the Secretary for Schools, Ed “Minister of Hizb ut Tahrir” Balls.
The first is the curriculum of the ISF Schools – signed off by OFSTED in 2005. The second is the article on education policy written in Khilafah, a Hizb ut Tahrir publication, by one of the three trustees who run the school, Farah Ahmed who is the headteacher of the Slough ISF School.

Timothy Garton Ash has written a comment piece for the Guardian discussing the Swiss ban on mosque minarets. I agree with all that he says except for the Islamic Shakhsiya Foundation point.
I have looked at the curriculum that they were teaching at the time they received government funding. And yes, they do promote Hizb ut-Tahrir (HT) ideology to the core. And as many of us know, HT ideology mandates Muslims to lead segregated lives from the rest of society and to only follow HT’s version of Islam. It is not exactly rocket science to know that HT run schools with HT teachers and a headmistress that was HT at the time of funding and writing the school’s curriculum would be teaching HT ideology to children. Anyway, the rest of the article is good. Have a read:

We have been entertained, over the last few days, by the spectacle of one nutter – with the assistance of the Crown Prosecution Service – hauling a couple of other nutters through the courts, at the taxpayers’ expense.
Few of you will have missed the court case, in which two “born again Christians” were accused by a woman who had very recently ‘reverted’ to Islam – having passed through various other religions – of having committed the offence of “religiously aggravated assault”.
When all the evidence was in, what seemed to have happened was this. Ms Vernon, the complainant, turned up to breakfast one morning dressed in a hijab. Mr and Mrs Vogelenzang, the defendants, rather rudely took the piss. Ms Kazi responded with some fruity language about her “tits” and “backside”. The group then engaged in robust debate on the subject of Mohammed’s military record, and Jesus’ divine or prophetic status.

Gloucester Arms pub Kentish Town
Sunday 6th December 2009 – Forty-five Hungarian fascist sympathisers met at a Kentish Town pub to raise funds for Jobbik, the Hungarian nationalist party, and to participate in a Q&A on nationalist issues like the threat of Israelis buying Hungarian property and the problem of gypsies.
The Hungarian courts have already made it clear that they find the values of Jobbik’s militia to be inimical to those of ordinary Hungarians (for the Nothing British Information Note on Jobbik, click here).
We see no reason why this sort of meeting should go unchallenged in the UK.
Sunday’s event was organised by The British-Jobbik Society and was hosted by Zoltan Fuzessy, Jobbik’s UK-based former webmaster and current Vice-President of Foreign Affairs. Fuzessy is, according to the invitation to Sunday’s meeting, Chief of Staff to Csanad Szegedi MEP, a militia commander in the Hungarian Guard, a Hungarian supremacist, a gypsy-baiter and a Israel-hater. Outside there was a 10-person anti-fascist demonstration.

Combat 18 Russia is claiming responsibility for the recent terrorist attack on a passenger train.
Many analysts are unconvinced. If it turns out the C18 claim is false, this is nonetheless a worrying development insofar as C18 Russia is clearly seeking to position itself as an active terrorist organisation.
According to this report, the C18 statement reads:
We, the militant autonomous group Combat 18, claim the responsibility for the attack against Nevsky Express. We will continue! The time has come. We say that the war will affect everyone. There are no indifferent people and no innocent victims in this war. There are only our supporters and enemies.
The group has also claimed responsibility for an explosive device found in the subway in Saint Petersburg on November 14.

In Comment is Free (CiF), Shaaz Mahboob, the Vice-Chair of British Muslims for Secular Democracy (BMSD), has written a piece in which he asks Stop the Islamisation of Europe (SIOE) to call off their planned demonstration outside the Harrow Mosque. BMSD have also written an open letter to the SIOE head, Stephen Gash, which carries the same message. This exercise has helped to expose the truly extreme and illiberal nature of Gash and the SIOE.
In the BMSD letter, Mahboob writes:
[...]we would like to point out that just like the majority of law-abiding British Muslims and non-Muslims, we too are extremely concerned about the rise of extremism and political Islam in Britain, which has been used to justify or demand non-democratic practices. On this issue, I am sure your organisation and ours share a common concern and would like to see a halt to the spread of these.

It is very encouraging to see secular, pro-democracy Muslims take on the anti-Muslim nutters on their own terms. Read the BMSD’s (British Muslims for Secular Democracy) open letter (pdf) to Stephen Gash of the anti-Muslim hate group, ‘Stop the Islamisation of Europe’ in anticipation of SIOE’s planned demo outside Harrow Central Mosque on December 13.
The administration of the Harrow Central Mosque has some very dodgy affiliations.
YMOUK is the youth wing of Jamaat-e-Islami. The Islamic Forum Europe (IFE) is also Jamaat-e-Islami linked, and also runs a blog on which senior IFE people praise the likes of the jihadists, al-Awlaki and Abdullah Azzam. Islam Channel is run by a convicted Tunisian Muslim Brotherhood/an-Nadha terrorist, and broadcasts material by Hizb ut Tahrir, and Yasir Qadhi, and a host of other vicious and extreme bigots. Islam Expo is run by Mohammed Sawalha, who is a fugitive Hamas commander, who has been named in US court documents as a key Hamas fundraiser. And finally, Islam Online is al-Qaradawi’s website.
