Bob Pitt: One rule for Islamists, one rule for everyone else

By Guest | Published: September 10, 2009

Bob Pitt, a low-level civil servant who works for Labour’s Murad Qureshi in the London Assembly, has yet again exposed himself on his ‘Islamophobia Watch’ website as an illiterate, ideologically-blinkered buffoon.

In his latest blog posting he attacks, for a change,  the secularist Muslims of the Quilliam Foundation.

This time he is calling on the government to “withdraw all state funding from the loathed and despised Quilliam Foundation and redirect it towards organisations that actually have roots in the Muslim communities.”

So from this one should presumably conclude that Bob Pitt thinks that only Muslim organisations that are popular should receive government money?

Apparently not.

When the Muslim Brotherhood wannabes of the Scottish Islamic Foundation (SIF) were busted last month for what have been described as “financial irregularities”, this is what Pitt had to say in their defence:

Bob Pitt – Incorrigibly Irrational

A Question of Priorities

Islamophobia Watch recently launched a disgraceful attack on Lucy James, author of a new paper dismantling the BNP’s attacks on Islam. As shown here at the Spittoon, their article was entirely scurrilous.

This affair made me do something which I normally avoid at all costs, read Islamophobia Watch. And when I was reading their latest nonsense I noticed something interesting. On the left hand side of Islamophobia Watch’s website is a list of categories of articles on the website.

At the very top is the category ‘Anti-Muslim violence’ whilst at the bottom of the (long) list is ‘Yusuf al-Qaradawi’. If you are unfamiliar with this name, he is the spiritual leader of the Muslim Brotherhood, a man who supports wife-beating and FGM and who doesn’t like Jews or innocent Israelis very much.
