Islamic Radicals Infiltrate the Labour Party

FROM THEOPINIONATOR:

What do The Islamic Forum of Europe, Islamists, George Galloway, Tower Hamlet, Lutfer Rahman have in common?

THE LABOUR PARTY 

-----perhaps it should be renamed Nu-IslamoLabour Party?

(One wonders how anti-British the Labour Party needs to get before people STOP voting for them.)

<:od>A Labour minister says his party has been infiltrated by a fundamentalist Muslim group that wants to create an “Islamic social and political order” in Britain.

The Islamic Forum of Europe (IFE) — which believes in jihad and sharia law, and wants to turn Britain and Europe into an Islamic state — has placed sympathisers in elected office and claims, correctly, to be able to achieve “mass mobilisation” of voters.

Speaking to The Sunday Telegraph, Jim Fitzpatrick, the Environment Minister, said the IFE had become, in effect, a secret party within Labour and other political parties.

They are acting almost as an entryist organisation, placing people within the political parties, recruiting members to those political parties, trying to get individuals selected and elected so they can exercise political influence and power, whether it’s at local government level or national level,” he said.

“They are completely at odds with Labour’s programme, with our support for secularism.”

Mr Fitzpatrick, the MP for Poplar and Canning Town, said the IFE had infiltrated and “corrupted” his party in east London in the same way that the far-Left Militant Tendency did in the 1980s. Leaked Labour lists show a 110 per cent rise in party membership in one constituency in two years.

In a six-month investigation by this newspaper and Channel 4’s Dispatches, involving weeks of covert filming by the programme’s reporters:

  • IFE activists boasted to the undercover reporters that they had already “consolidated … a lot of influence and power” over Tower Hamlets, a London borough council with a £1 billion budget.
  • We have established that the group and its allies were awarded more than £10 million of taxpayers’ money, much of it from government funds designed to “prevent violent extremism”.
  • IFE leaders were recorded expressing opposition to democracy, support for sharia law or mocking black people. The IFE organised meetings with extremists, including Taliban allies, a man named by the US government as an “unindicted co-conspirator” in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, and a man under investigation by the FBI for his links to the September 11 attacks.
  • Moderate Muslims in London told how the IFE and its allies were enforcing their hardline views on the rest of the local community, curbing behaviour they deemed “un-Islamic”. The owner of a dating agency received a threatening email from an IFE activist, warning her to close it.
  • George Galloway, a London MP, admitted in recordings obtained by this newspaper that his surprise victory in the 2005 election owed more to the IFE “than it would be wise – for them – for me to say, adding that they played a “decisive role” in his triumph at the polls.

Mr Galloway now says they were one of many groups which supported his anti-war stance and had never sought to influence him.

The IFE has particularly close links to Tower Hamlets council. Seven serving and former councillors said Lutfur Rahman, the current council leader, gained his post with the group’s help.

Some said they were canvassed by a senior IFE official on his behalf. After Mr Rahman was elected, a man with close links to the group, Lutfur Ali, was appointed assistant chief executive of the council with responsibility for grant funding.

This was despite a chequered employment record, a misleading CV and a negative report from the headhunters appointed to consider the candidates. The council’s white chief executive was subsequently forced from his post.

Since Mr Rahman became leader, more council grants have been paid to a number of organisations which our investigation established are closely linked to the IFE.

Funding for other, secular groups was ended or cut. In the borough’s well-known Brick Lane area, council funds were switched from a largely secular heritage trail to a highly controversial “hijab sculpture”, angering many residents who accused the council of “religious triumphalism”.

Schools in Tower Hamlets are told by the council should close for the Muslim festival of Eid, even where most of their pupils are not Muslim.

Mr Rahman refused to deny that an IFE activist had canvassed councillors on his behalf. He said: “There are various people across Tower Hamlets who get excited, who get involved.”

He would not comment on concerns about infiltration, saying they were “party matters”. He said: “If you look at our flagship policies, like investing £20 million to tackle overcrowding, you can see that we are working for everyone.”

The IFE said it did not seek to influence the council and had not lobbied for Mr Rahman. “If anything, existing members of the Labour Party have joined the IFE, rather than the other way round,” it said.

The group insisted it was not a fundamentalist or extremist organisation and did not support violence.

    Mind boggling! -- how can anyone vote Labour after the travesty they have brought to the UK?

    "Feb. 28 (Bloomberg) -- Gordon Brown is on course to lead a minority U.K. administration after this year’s election, according to a survey giving the opposition Conservative Party its smallest lead over Labour in more than two years.

    A YouGov Plc poll gave the Conservatives the support of 37 percent of voters, down two percentage points, and Labour the backing of 35 percent, up two. The uneven distribution of votes across districts means this would leave the incumbent Labour Party with the most seats, about nine short of a Parliamentary majority, said the Sunday Times, which published the poll."

    You are telling me that the Labour party has been infiltrated by Muslims?

    So all the stuff of bringing in millions of Muslims into the country was not done by Labour but by Muslim infiltrators?

    And all that mosque building and ignoring Islamic hatemongers in mosques, was the work of Muslim infiltrators?

    Sorry, but excuse me if I dont swallow that Taqqiya. Labour has deliberately given itself to Muslims, and in the process, has tried to hand the country over as well. This is mere Taqqiya by the Labour party - and why not, it is a tried and tested Islamic technique.

      They will vote Labour only as lons ag they do not have the numbers to vote fopr Muyslim party. Once the call comes from alla, all allegiance to Labour or Britain will ne dropped.

      UKIP policy is so far the best.

      UKIP covers all the issues that matter.

      1. The EU -out of it asap, replace with Swiss style association with the EU. Good.

      2. immigration - stop for 5 years. Good.

      3. What to do with the 'enemy within' - bit cagey here but understandable .The following quote is taken from the UKIP web site, policies section - Restoring Britishness: "Regarding the Islamicisation of Britain, UKIP would ban the covering of the face in public buildings and certain private buildings by means of a burqa or niqab (with veils). UKIP would require a public referendum for planning permission on major buildings, including large new places of worship. UKIP would deport radical preachers calling for violence or the overthrow of democracy, and reintroduce the Treason Act.

      Its a start

      4. Stop all this nonsense of Carbon taxes. We are lready paying fopr this in our bills. So fat they amount to about 10% of the total gas and electricity bill.

      5. Energy policy- re-start coal mines, coal fired power stations, and build nuclear power stations. Use gas for domestic heating and cooking. Good.

      The only issue, and it is a major one, they have no experience. We know nothing of their cabinet, and very little of their leader. OTH, neither do the conservatives have any experience. As for Labour, they are traitors.

Hodge on the ropes,Cameron offers to stand down the tory candidate if it helps(snubbed by Brown) UKIP burst into the areana,not attacking Labour,but hissing and screaming at the BNP. I have no doubt most UKIP supporters are well intentioned but there is something very rotten at the heart of UKIP. Probably the worst troughers of all,and Farage offers to disband the party if Cameron promises to hold a referendum (snubbed by Cameron)

I have no doubt that UKIP has many people pounding the streets,donating money they cannot afford,and doing this,not for their own benefit,but simply because they love their country,and do not want it to become a totalitarian regime moddeled on 1984,as it sure will if the liblabcon get their way. During the last century over half the world's people "lived" under this type of murderous regime,we are not immune!

              In effect you are saying that BNP is the only party that is available.

              The BNP is unlikely to form a government.

              In the unlikely event that it does,

              1. Tt will be tagged as a 'racist' and 'nasty' party.

              3. The BNP will be opposed tooth and nail by all. Many people, who would never think of allying themselves with Muslims, will do so.

              4. Islamics will use the opportunity to come out as 'non-racists', freedom loving people,opposed to the 'Nazi' BNP.

              5. Public unrest by the Left, Muslims and even decent people would be hard to ignore. It may lead to civil strife between us, rather us and Islamics. Bad scenario.

              6. We could end up being internationally ostracised, and subject to sanctions.

              7. We could even be removed from the Security council.

              8. Britain could be designated a pariah state.

              I just do not wish this to happen.
              ---------------------
              You write that UKIP membership was not consulted, but

              1. Which party ever consults its membership on issues? Issues are always decided by the leadership.

              2. If UKIP could get a firm guarantee that a referendum would be held for EU membership, then I see no reason why the leadership should not accept it, as the UKIP's main reason for existence, is a referendum on the EU. No UKIP member can rightly ignore such an opportunity - he does not even need to be asked.

              I'm posting here and elsewhere that UKIP is the only realistic option we have. I look forward to you showing that I'm wrong.

                Most people back most BNP policies. The trouble is they do this without knowing.Many "right-wing" journalists promote most of their policies,but usually add "I abhor all that the BNP stand for" Well, that includes low taxes,less state control,get out of the EU,and never get involved in wars unless our interests are directly threatened,and plenty of green issues (not global warming!!) If one major newspaper changes their stance,others will follow,and public perception will change. I have met many members and I can honestly say that, to a man (and woman), they are all decent patriotic people. The liblabcon control the MSM,and have done a good job in brainwashing many people. However, I generally get a positive reaction when I'm out leafletting.

                Nigel Farage, a UKIP member of the European Parliament, is being fined 3,000 euros for insulting the president of the European Council. The story is at The Brussels Journal. In his outspoken remarks on the floor of the European Parliament (see YouTube), Farage expresses his complete lack of respect for the European Union, its obscure, unaccountable leaders, and its agenda of extinguishing the nation states of Europe.

                So here we are. An elected MEP gets fined for speaking the truth.

    UKIP vs BNP

    Part 1

    Over the last year I have wavered between the BNP and the UKIP. The only way I could make up my mind was to look at them as objectively as I could, and ascertain the consequence of what would happen under a few scenarios.

    I listed several attributes of UKIP and BNP in my previous posts, and compared them one against the other. In these the UKIP is better placed.

    Let us consider though that they are actually equal in their attributes. We then turn our attention to what the likely outcomes are to be

    Scenario A – the BNP wins the election with an outright majority.

    Unlikely though this is, let us examine the consequences

    1. There will be huge civic and legal hostility to the BNP, leading to civil strife – bad for Britain.
    2. BNP legislation will be tied up in the courts.
    3. The EU may throw us out – that’s good.
    4. The EU may place an embargo on us – not so good.
    5. As the BNP is considered a ‘racist’ party, even our strongest allies – Australia, New Zealand and Canada, will shy away from us. We will have no international support, if we can’t even get the support of the above.
    6. We may be thrown out of the Security Council, and then subjected to an International embargo.
    7. We will be isolated, and our traditional enemies will use this as an opportunity to take advantage.
    8. Our allies in the anti-sharia movement in Britain – SIOE, EDL, will have no truck with the BNP. They have made this quite clear.
    9. Our allies in the anti-sharia movement worldwide – Geert Wilders just cross the channel, and many others in America, will have no truck with the BNP.

    Faced with such opposition, and this is the very least, the BNP will hesitate to put any of its policies in action. They will end up being a neutered government. Meanwhile civil strife will continue.

    The BNP government will fall soon after. This will be considered a victory for Islam and the Left, and the anti-sharia movement will be discredited for good. The next government will be pro-sharia, and our goose is cooked.

    UKIP vs BNP

    Part 2

    Scenario B – the BNP wins enough seats in a hung parliament to form a coalition.

    In such a situation, both Labour and the Conservatives will shun the BNP. They would rather form a national unity government then ally themselves with the BNP. Any such alignment with the BNP would lead to the same consequences as in Scenario-A. Therefore no anti-sharia policies are likely.

    The coalition government with the BNP will fall. This will be considered a victory for Islam and the Left, and the anti-sharia movement will be discredited for good. The next government will be pro-sharia, and our goose is again nicely done.

    Scenario C – UKIP wins enough seats in a hung parliament to form a coalition.

    Now we are looking at a situation when either party, but probably the Conservatives will seek to a form a coalition with UKIP, as they the Labour.

    Now none of the disadvantages 1-9 apply. We will have the backing and support of many groups, nationally (SIOE, EDL), and internationally (Geert Wilders, Jihad Watch and others). In Britain, many of the people who are afraid of Islam will join us – i.e., people who do not wish to be associated in any way with the BNP, plus, Hindus, Sikhs, Ghurkhas.

    If such a situation becomes possible, where the Conservatives take on even a few of UKIP policy objectives- they will be a positive gain. If we can get a referendum on the EU, that will be major gain. If we get any anti-sharia policies in the bargain, it will be even better.

    The disadvantage in this scenario is the suspicion you have, that UKIP will simply sell their soul and more, just to be in government, and betray all of their policy commitments. But if that happens, then it would be no worse then a neutered BNP in office. Even then, it will be better then a BNP coalition, as the anti-sharia movement will not be discredited. We can still hope.

    The BNP vote, though emotionally satisfying, leads to nothing at best, and harmful to Britain at the worst, and even worse, discredits the anti-sharia movement.

    Sorry I missed it but they are all pretty much the same.
