Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights

“Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in fascist regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of “need.” The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc.”

The second of Britt’s characteristics of fascism is so unBritish it’s really hard to see how anyone could possibly combine this profound malice with the extreme Nationalism of the first characteristic. And yet that’s exactly what Britain First tries to do.

Their contempt for the human rights of non-white citizens (British or otherwise) is breathtaking. Britain First regularly ignores and undermines established legal process to call for the execution and torture of Muslims, Asians, immigrants and others despite their being acquitted of crimes or indeed, not even accused of any.

Fascist BF 2

For Britain First the fact that someone worships in a Mosque is enough to warrant them being gang-raped, burned alive, beaten to death or even sent to gas chambers (we wonder where they got that idea from).

One of the most common themes within Britain First’s propaganda is their hatred for the European Convention on Human Rights and the UK Human Rights Act. The call for both these pieces of law to be revoked goes out almost daily in one form or another.

Like every other fascist group, Britain First is committed to removing Human Rights for all but themselves. This makes them everyone’s enemy. If you’re not a Biffer yourself you’d be at risk if the Biffers ever gained power in UK.

  1. They’re not only calling for and condoning execution/torture/rape etc for muslims, asians and immigrants in general, but also us “great unwashed, liberal, lefty loonies” – i.e, anyone who doesn’t support BF!

    It makes one wonder why they just don’t all voluntary get on a boat themselves and go and inhabit some uninhibited island so they can all be their lives away from the rest of the civilisation. They can take along other extremist groups too like ISIS and have their “crusade” ala Battle Royale or something.

    • Terry, after reading very many of your posts and replies to mine I very much consider you to be pretty much a free spirit and really concerned with the subject of this blog. Therefore I commend to you and to all other EBF members what I consider to be an illuminating article on “The Upside-Downside World of University Human Rights” an Open Letter to to the UK National Union of Students by Denis McEoin.

  3. David, who said anything about giving them weapons whether their own or weapons we’ve “given” to them? Also it is completely inconceivable to cover anyone that is not in the UK and as the vast majority of ISIS is in Iraq, Afghanistan etc it would hardly be a much of an issue. The evidence is that ISIS is not in the UK and the little support they do have are nut jobs who quickly realise the error of their ways and pay the price for their decision. All these groups would quickly turn on themselves as soon as they got rid of their perceived enemy so it would be perfectly easy to send over more when it was called for. Also this is really hypothetical and not in anyway a reality. Also why, oh why, as a supposedly civilised society would we force these sex slaves to join ISIS when they are just that slaves being held against their will? But this is all a moot point so shall we leave it there?

        Dear lady, I have to admit that since I started looking into BF and its attitude on human rights for muslims I have been doing my very best not to conjoin or conflate the excesses of Islamists with muslims per se. However, there is no possible doubt that muslims in France seem to be doing their level best to do BF’s work for them. It is extremely difficult to understand how we in our own way could prevent BF from latching onto it or deal with them if they began using it.

        I realise that you are not exactly enamoured of the Gatestone Institute but it does often publish extremely well researched articles and one of these is once again by Soeren Kern who has an impressive biography I submit. The Islamisation of France in 2014. http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/4978/france-islamization

        Sadly,it would seem that muslims in France are by their behaviour in public denying the human rights of non-muslim and “moderate”? muslim French citizens and defying the secular laws of that country. Just imagine the huge outcry that would ensue if such outlandish behaviour came to the UK!

  5. David I have to ask – why do you continually point us in the direction of a source that you know we dismiss the validity of? As for the poll mentioned in the article, it samples a small portion of the French population covering the age ranges mentioned and then effectively extrapolates for the rest of the entire population which is mathematically inaccurate and frowned upon. Not to mention that apart from Britain the original source of the poll states that 15+ year olds were asked yet no graphics were provided. Frankly the whole nature of the poll leads me to questions its partiality and validity. Quite frankly the rest of the article merely seems to address why extremism is bad except focusing relentlessly on ISIS. Also there is a move by the government to remove the Human Rights Act which enshrines much of the European convention of human rights which many people seem to complain about even though it is what is protecting us and many people are encouraging the government to scrap the act so I think your argument there falls rather flat.

      • I am 25 not that my age should matter, honestly I don’t bother with newspapers and frankly will accept anything as long as it is well reasoned, un-abusive and largely in favour of true equality. In my experience anything to the right whilst has some semblance of fairness intrinsically is unfair to those who are unable to work or require special measures to work due to long term illness or disability. Having been around disability for much of my life and am in fact dyspraxic. In fact had the dice rolled just a bit further along the dyspraxia spectrum I could have found myself considered physically disabled due to fine and gross motor skills being so underdeveloped that I would be unable to walk in addition to the learning difficulty side and so sympathise heavily with those who are physically unable to look after themselves and need the benefits they get but are suffering because those benefits are being cut. Its funny how that could have been me changes perspective. That is why I dislike your attitude towards Islam so much – I see the marginalisation it causes and know what sort of affect it had. I was unfortunate enough not to be diagnosed until I started university – before that it was always just fine and gross motor skills problems and I never got all the help I could have had to help me understand. Don’t get me wrong I’m not complaining but don’t think for one second that just because you are older, have more experience and know more about Islam that your view on Islam is more right than mine – too often you break things down simplistically when it is often much more complicated than you make out. My experiences have shaped who I am and continue to do so but not once did I ever imply or intended to imply that I was more intelligent, more worldly-wise, more widely travelled or more knowledgeable on Islam than you

        What I am saying is that I have compassion for human beings as much as possible even when I don’t always live that out. As to recognising when there is something suspect with a poll which therefore brings up the validity of the poll and therefore any source using that poll in such a way as this source is using it.You very much are putting words in my mouth – not once did I say 15 year olds should not feature in the article. I merely correctly pointed out that the poll mentions the 15-17 year old demographic and yet provides no graphical evidence for that group yet does for all the other demographics. Also it is laughable that in the UK they didn’t ask any 15-17 year olds yet did in the rest of the countries covered by the poll. That more than makes me suspect that those who were polled were carefully preselected in an attempt to swing how the poll would go. I on those grounds reject the polls validity and rejected its conclusions due to its assumptions based on extrapolation as I said in my earlier post. I have nothing against criticism of Islam – what I am against is an exclusive full frontal assault on Islam that is unfair when Christianity, Judaism, Sikhism and many other religions (including atheism for the purposes of this particular argument) have been just as guilty of atrocities as certain so called Islamic people. All I keep hearing is a single-minded determination to vilify an entire religion and I am sick of it. Mainstream media is almost as bad as these far right groups and it infuriates me when those on benefits and immigrants are also vilified especially when there is no evidence of this other than a very small number of high profile cases and shows such as benefits street displaying the small number who are exploiting the system being taken out of context.

        • SO sorry grizzlyvamp but I have studied ALL the “major” religions and I have found that of them all only Islam is primarily an ideology with a veneer of religion,it is cravenly misogynistic,advocates not integrating with non-muslims(remember the Trojan Horse school rumpus in Birmingham),dislikes music dislikes dogs,always demands special treatment(separate swimming pools and changing rooms) calls for women and men to be segregated in mosques and university halls, calls for special rooms/areas in commercial premises for prayer, muslims wont handle alcohol or pork in supermarkets(so why do they take jobs there?), go on demonstrations with placards saying Kill British Soldiers,Kill British Policemen,Kill all Jews,in France block streets and even roads for prayer, and burn thousands of cars in the banlieus threaten the LGBT community,permit the taking of Infidel girls and women as sex slaves-I could go on. All this because in their holy book there are verses advocating and permitting all the above(apart from the cars of course).

          Because of all this I consider that it is a sizeable miracle that there are so many very well educated,sophisticated,extremely likeable,well integrated and friendly muslims in society who either ignore their holy book or refuse to countenance the violence and misogyny contained in it. Could you point out to me any similar commands in Christianity,Hinduism,Sikhism,or New Age Buddhism(despite their “war” on Islam in Myanmar(Burma). Do you still not understand my intense dislike of Islam.I always thought that all human kind is supposed to be equal!? I cannot think of a single Islamic country which fully subscribes to,and practises, full human rights.Finally,the sheer scale of Islamic militancy and terror has never been equaled in the history of man. Eminent Professors Bernard Lewis,Bill Warner and Sam Harris have calculated that Islam’s armies,groups and individuals have killed 270 million.

Having hung out with muslims and deem them as my friends, well, unless my eyes and ears decieved me, they very much enjoy, not only listening to music, but also dfancing too :O ! One even has a pet dog – even more of a shocker! Look David, there are conservative muslims just as there are conservative christians. Segregation of sexes exist invariably in India; it’s a shame in this day and age, but it’s hardly fair to make out that only muslims do this. As for “demanding special treatment”, I take it you’re referring to the recent news that BF and EDL want to protest? Look more into it and you’ll find that the park caters for many groups for many situations – this event is not unique. They can’t eat pork, but I couldn’t see why they couldn’t handle it. And if so, so what? I’d imagine vegans don’t particularly like handling meat either – do you bash them for it?

            Speaking of demonstrations with people holding up such placards, need I refer you to the christian group Westboro Baptist Church again? I think we’ve covered just about everything before. Man, there are times where I think to myself, “y’know, David isn’t so bad. A little misguided, perhaps, but he’s OK deep down.!” Then you spout a load of nonsense and make me sigh.

            • Terry, of all the EBF supporters on here I have come to regard you as my favourite commenter,always doing your very best to be unbiased and reasonable. However, there is one most important statement of mine that you may have missed but one I repeat constantly that I always have and always will as long as I am on this earth. It is that I never conjoin Islam with Muslims per se! The huge problem for individual muslims is that Muhammad was a violent and extremely flawed man but being Islam’s Prophet he is considered the Perfect man and muslims should follow his words and actions without exception. This teaching agreed by all imams and muslim scholars is immutable. This,of course, gives complete licence to behave in a way not acceptable in any democracy and the Islamists and extremists in muslim society always take full benefit(if that is the right word).

              By the way two points 1) Why do you and others on here always quote the Westboro Baptitist Church,Unlike my ability to give you dozens of Islamic violent outlets is this Church the ONLY one you can come up with?
              2) Of course many,many muslims are as I have described MANY TIMES before_Read my posts,please! NOT ORTHODOX(Catholics using contraception as an illustration) have dogs,love all forms of music,even drink alcohol, don’t ask for separate swimming areas/pools, don’t pray five times a day and don’t demand special areas in which to pray,and,most importantly,integrate extremely well.All this in the terms of the Qur’an,Hadith and Sunnah would make them as much Infidels as non-muslims and subject to death if they happened to stay in many Islamic countries.Do you,PLEASE,at last get what I am on about??
              I am not referring to the Luton Protest by BF. I also urge you to read the article I commented on in my reply to grizzlyvamp.

              • David, I felt I had to address you in my last post as you said, I quote, ” but I have studied ALL the “major” religions and I have found that of them all only Islam is primarily an ideology with a veneer of religion,it is cravenly misogynistic,advocates not integrating with non-muslims(remember the Trojan Horse school rumpus in Birmingham),dislikes music dislikes dogs,always demands special treatment(separate swimming pools and changing rooms) calls for women…”

                I wanted to address this paragraph specifically; hinduism has a primitive caste system entrenched in its very culture, which, if you’ve studied all religions, then you should know that Islam isn’t the only one to have all these flaws, hence me saying that is is unfair to say so.

                I have noticed that you keep repeating that you “never conjoin Islam with Muslims per se”, but you are as an extension slating muslims too when you use terms like “they” “their” “them” when referring to all these bad things happening within society, but they, their, them who exactly? Muslims, right? Yes, I know what you’re getting at, and to an extend, I can’t not disagree with you. If most muslims are not “orthodox”, then what is your problem exactly? Extremists? Then join the club as we are too. No true Scotsman, eh?

                Yes, muslims worship an extremely flawed prophet (from a time where his atrocities were cool and kosher compared to our present morality) as does any religious follower with their respective prophets and gods. Isn’t yahweh considered to be a perfect, an all-loving and forgiving being? Someone who is/was a megalomaniacal, vicious and nasty piece of shit (by my standards) who carried out convoluted atrocities for, I don’t know, shits and giggles? As I said to grizzlyvamp in another thread, if these gods existed (aren’t they all one and the same?), along with their prophets, I would be all of their enemy as I oppose most things they stand stood for. Fortunately then, not only do I not believe in their existence, but those who do, are nothing like how they, according to your implications, should be. Thankfully, most of us are not so barbaric towards one another now.

                I use the Westboro lot as an example for extreme (orthodox?) christians as they are very comparable with your previous comment, to paraphrase, “holding up derogative placards when they take to the streets (to paraphrase)”. Perhaps there are others, yes. But currently, they are the only one that springs to mind and have enough media exposure for me to assume you know who they are.

                Criticise Islam by all means, but why just Islam? Why not your very own equally destructive and invidious religion too? Do you honestly believe that Islam is a true evil awaiting for everybody’s mind to absorb it? You say you’re OK with muslims, per se, but not Islam, but what makes one a muslim? Do you believe they all have some agenda to divide and conquer us and thus islamify us all? If you potentially have a small number of days left, then again I ask, what are you trying to achieve here? By now you should realize we have all strong convictions with our views, as you do.

                • Terry, a MUCH more reasonable reply from you,thank you. Just two points. As I have pointed out on another blog in response to Grizzlyvamp,Islam is not only extremely unpleasant as a religion but extremely dangerous as an ideology which most of it actually is. The correct word ISLAM comes not from the word “salaam” meaning peace/welcome but from its ROOT WORD Al-Silm meaning Submission or Surrender-to Allah. It is this root word that is understood by ISIS and all other terrorist groups and Q8v12 “I will instil terror into the hearts of the Infidels,strike off their heads and strike off from them every finger tip” is their battle cry -Charming. Q22 v9 “As for the unbelievers for them garments of fire shall be cut and there shall be poured over their heads boiling water whereby whatever is in their bowels shall be dissolved and they will be punished with hooked iron-rods” There are MANY more like these in the Qur’an Have you ever seen a similar exhortation from any other major faith/ideology.

                  Then,of course, is the supremacy factor of Islam to be taken into consideration. The Qur’an makes abundantly clear that in the concept of Jihad,holy war,as above it is the ultimate aim to conquer the whole world and submit it to the one true faith,the law of Allah..This so-called “holy” book also makes abundantly clear that muslims must avoid contact with or living among non-muslims. Q 5 v51″Believers do not take Jews or Christians as friends ,they are just one another’s friends. If anyone of you take them then then he is surely one of them.God will not guide unbelievers”-there are many more commands like this.

                  Lastly but certainly not least-in fact probably the most important- is that muslims who are,of course,born muslim, if they later in life decide that they do not want to continue in their “faith”face certain death. This penalty for apostasy is agreed by the leading Islamic school of jurisprudence,the Al-Azhar University in Cairo and the three other schools.This is just the worst aspect of Islam I believe but just one of the reasons why I have so much time for non-orthodox muslims and so much pity.

Even the magnificent 1948 UN Declaration on Human Rights has been queried and altered by CDHR(the Cairo DHR) whereby the Islamic nations altered or deleted a number of its articles because they infringed Shari’a Law,the observance of which infringes many human rights and so on and on ad infinitum.

                      David, I think our point is (mine certainly is anyway), is that Islam isn’t the solely the perpetrators of proselytisers in the world. Depending where you are, the countries majority religious population is likely to be the biggest contributors to proselytizing efforts. I think we can all surely agree that everybody has the right to practice their religion but not force it upon anyone else; what one has faith in is their prerogative and any efforts to convert people in an intrusive manner is pretty shitty if you ask me, just as is indoctrination of children from parents.

                      One can’t help but wonder if will really do have choice and free will in such a world where inodctrination and proselytisation are the norm.

Give it a couple of days and you’ll reply to another old post in what could easily be interpreted in a somewhat aggressive manner. In any case, luckily one doesn’t have to be a christian to be a forgiving person 😉

                    Criticism allows growth, understanding and hopefully new perspectives on life though, David. If you get resentful and angry, then surely you just simply dislike what we have to say and thus are so close minded. Not that it matters anyway; I’m sure none of us are going to change one another’s opinions. If you, what 70 odd always held such views, then I can’t see see a few strangers on the internet are going to say anything to change that. None the less, such discussions with you could at least be a little less hostile.

                    Take myself and grizzlyvamp for example: as you’re aware, we both have very different views on christianity and the supernatural, yet, despite opposing views, we managed to be respectful (although I was a wee bit facetious once or twice, but I’ve always been like that. Can’t take life way too seriously all the time, I say!) whilst criticising but remained friendly. Being so open minded, I think, allows for a much more stimulating discussion whereas with you, well, you come off being so exasperated all the time. Take it a bit easy, yeah?

                    You know, that’s what I find so unappealing about right-wingers in general (to bring them up for the first time, but I think it’s apt for my current train of thought): they (and evidently you), take everything so bloody serious all the time. Compare BF with EBF, the former’s page is so humourless and they never seem to crack a smile or laugh at themselves from time to time. In lieu of humour is just vitriol, hatred, resentment and hostilities. I can’t even for the life of me think of a decent right-wing comedian (only the likes of Roy Chubby Brown and Jim Davidson spring to mind – and they’re just washed out hacks that can only attract a handful of racist piss-heads down the back of small piers on British seasides with their oh-so-funny-schoolboy “paki” jokes).

                    Not sure where this train of thought was heading, but I ust think you all need to lighten the fuck up sometimes. Go and chill with some muslims and smoke shisha; learn to laugh not only at others but yourself too; and learn a bit of reading comprehension – I’ve noticed you take some of my tongue-in-cheek comments serious too (my calling for all extremists to occupy an island and battle it out for once and for all ala the great film “Battle Royale” for example. I thought it was obviously going to be interpreted as a flippant comment!)
                    .

Muhammad is considered to be THE perfect man despite his very obvious gross imperfections as displayed clearly in the Hadith and Sunnah(sayings and deeds of the “Prophet”) All this is demanded by the four Islamic schools of jurisprudence led by the Al Azhar University at Cairo. Criticism of Islam generally comes from muslim scholars who have apostasised or the very many others who-as I have very often mentioned-either have not read the Qur’an or who have deliberately ignored a great deal of it and are non orthodox or secular Muslims i.e the great majority who are almost universally proud to be British citizens and who in the event of an Islamist takeover would be for the high jump as they would be regarded as much as Infidels as non-muslims.

  9. Of course I know what you have unearthed. It makes absolutely no difference because the recognised muslim schools of jurisprudence as I have stated command muslims worldwide. It is a situation akin to Nazism in Germany where very many Germans and very many outside Germany warned against the Nazis but SO committed and zealous were Hitler’s adherents that Hitler came to absolute power.Obviously you must remember the Grand Mufti’s deep regard for Hitler. It does not need a large group of Islamist zealots to commit heinous acts or even a large number of individuals. Talk is cheap and easy but DEALING with fanatics is a far cry from talking against them.

    The problem is that in so many democracies which have sizeable Muslim minorities there are these extremist mosques which for years have been allowed to get away with spawning disaffected,mainly young,muslim men and girls just like those going to Syria and Iraq now.

  12. ebfnlogger it may well be a complete surprise to you and others on EBF that I am extremely willing and happy to state that there is much more to the nature of modern Muslim relations than Wahhabism and Deobandi mosques. Most unfortunately it is the horrid statements and actions of Islamists and would be terrorists that is seized on by the media and given thoroughly disgraceful TV and air time as I noted in a recent post when a young white Muslim woman blamed Israel for the rise of ISIS. Such disingenuous comments reflect badly on muslims who are blameless.That is exactly the type of behaviour and thinking which produces the kneejerk reaction you speak of.

    I am totally unmoved about your mention of me as appearing like a Biffer. I just write as I see it from a greater knowledge of Islam than I am very confident any of you have. I am not an authority on anything much else so please do allow me this one. You can hardly tell me that I am a Biffer unless I do what you want me to even though I have done so willingly as I agree with you on this one 100%! It is very late in the day to even begin to repair the damage that ghastly creatures like Anjem Choudary and groups like the EDL,the BNP and BF have done to the vast majority of peaceful and educated muslims but even the Government’s somewhat divisive anti-terrorist measures are a start and they may well blow apart the far-right groups I have mentioned.

    If my words do not satisfy you then I am sad and sorry but Islam has undoubtedly had a bad habit of shooting itself in the foot and quite likely not criticising its dislikeable side sufficiently. I would once again point out the words of President of Egypt, Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi who on New Years Day 2015 stated that Islam should not be responsible for death and destruction in the non-muslim world and needed revision and a new purpose.

                  • ebfblogger, I promise that I won’t ask again but your refusal to give me a valid reason why my Burqa comments have not been posted I find extremely puzzling and somewhat sinister!! Has there been a decision to block all my comments in future??

                    • No there hasn’t, David. So far just the exceptionally abusive comments are blocked. After today’s repetitive demands that I continue to answer the same question over and over I must stress SO FAR though.

                      If you want to comment without abuse on the burka thread go ahead. Tour comments will be moderated for abuse and relevance in the usual way.

                      I’ve been lax with you over the weekend because my own comments were pretty direct and so I wanted to give you a chance to respond. Tou’ll notice that the majority of your insults toward me got through for that reason (but not so much toward orhers) Now I think it’s time to reintroduce a more reasonable tone.

                      Post your comment. If it isn’t abusive it’ll get through.

                  • I have not checked the blog yet ebfblogger but I will not ask you again.

                    I believe that you will find any of my comments on the blog of real interest.
