Bunglawala’s Sectarian Attitude

In today’s Jewish Chronicle, Martin Bright reveals Inayat Bunglawala’s sectarian attitude towards those who disagree with his interpretation of Islam. Bright writes: Inayat Bunglawala of the MCB defended his attacks on British Muslims for Secular Democracy because leading members of the organisation opposed the wearing of the hijab and believed drinking was permitted in Islam. The chair [...]

Bunglawala Praises al-Qaradawi

What can we say about Inayat Bungalwala? He’s the man for all seasons; he’s all things to all men; the good time had by all. For John Denham, he represents the Muslim figurehead this government needs to represent its rehashed Prevent initiative. For the Trots, such as George Galloway and Bob Pitt, he is a [...]

Anwar al-Awlaki and his British Friends

A shortened version of this article has been published on Comment is Free **** It is now clear US Army Major Nidal Hasan had a series of connections to the Islamist cleric, Anwar al-Awlaki . For those of us who have studied, with increasing concern, the extreme teachings of this cleric, this tragedy is the inevitable consequence [...]

A Tale of Two Protests

This Saturday, amid massive tabloid hype, al-Muhajiroun (AM) were supposed to be marching through central London calling for their vision of Shari’ah to be imposed in the UK. Under the name Islam4UK (a name they’ve admitted is simply associated with a website front-group for AM), al-Macaroon managed to grab headlines with their mocked up images [...]

Inayat Bunglawala: Gay Rights Are An “Islamic Goal”

Here at the Spittoon we have tended to give Inayat Bunglawala a bit of a hard time. But we also give credit where credit is due. In that spirit, he certainly deserves credit that, on the back of a panel discussion about religious freedom and sexuality in Dublin (in which he participated with Peter Tatchell), [...]

A Question of Priorities and a Question for Inayat

Bob Pitt of Islamophobia Watch and Inayat Bunglawala of iEngage are two peas in a pod. But where Bob is obsessed with defending Islamists, Bungle’s obsession is the Quilliam Foundation. Progress Online carries details of a fringe meeting to be organised by the Quilliam Foundation at the Labour Party conference next month on ‘How should the [...]

Bob and Bungle – Forget the BNP, let’s attack Quilliam

This morning I turned on my computer and was immediately confronted by a bizarre article from Bob Pitt of Islamophobia Watch. Quilliam accuses anti-BNP protestors of ‘thuggery and hooliganism’ is an amateurish bit of slime aimed at Lucy James (who has kindly written one guest post for the Spittoon in the past) for comments she [...]

Fun With Numbers (and the Muslim Council of Britain)

The Muslim Council of Britain likes to present itself as the voice of British Muslims. If you tuned in to Kenan Malik’s excellent programme on Radio 4 this morning, Are All Muslims the Same? then you will have heard MCB spokesman Inayat Bunglawala boasting that organisations like the MCB have never been out of step [...]

British Islamism’s Black Knight Stabs Himself In The Foot

The irascible Inayat Bunglawala is back, and he has British Muslims for Secular Democracy in his sights. The cause for this particular outburst – Shaaz Mahboob has suggested that some British Muslims lack compassion for UK soldiers fighting and dying in Afghanistan. In particular, Bunglawala picks up on Mahboob’s claim that the British Muslims who [...]

Bungle, Bungle, Bungle – UPDATED

Now it might look like I’ve got something of an obsession these days, but Inayat Bunglawala has really lost the plot. His Saudi-backed iEngage slime machine is accusing Ghaffar Hussain, of the Quilliam Foundation, of wanting to ban the burqa. Unfortunately for Bungle, this is not true. Have a look at Quilliam’s website – it’s very [...]
