It’s time to shut down Al-Muhajiroun for good
The ‘Islamic Thinkers Society’ is the American branch of Al-Muhajiroun, the charming Islamist group proscribed in Britain but still operating as ‘Islam For The UK‘ and the ‘London School of Shariah‘. They’re big fans of Anjem Choudary’s mentor Omar Bakri Mohammad:
Sheikh Omar Bakri Mohammad is a prominent scholar in the Muslim world today for his uncompromising stance on the vital issues which affect the Muslim world. He is recognized as one of the leading figures struggling against the British crusade against Islam and Muslims.
Their list of ‘great site[s] … for you to enjoy’ include Choudary’s Islam For The UK, Al Ghurabaa (now proscribed and defunct), and The Saviour Sect (also proscribed and defunct).
Here’s their latest propaganda image, used to illustrate a piece on ‘Jewbama‘ and now strangely absent from their site (via Muslims Against Sharia):
Their use of that particular ‘Jew’ cartoon is interesting. It’s not the first time they’ve made use of it. Here they are at the 2008 New York Israel Day parade:
Now where might they have got such an image?
From the website of Tom Metzger’s ‘White Aryan Resistance’. Here’s the original:
As you can see, they also promote Holocaust denial. The WAR website features a notorious article called ‘66 Questions and Answers on the “Holocaust”‘, as does the Islamic Thinkers Society website.
The ITS page also includes this claim:
The Holocaust media campaign portrays Jews as totally innocent victims, and non-Jews as mortally retarded and unreliable beings who can easily turn into murderous Nazis under the right circumstances.
‘Unreliable beings who can easily turn into murderous Nazis under the right circumstances’ would of course be a rather good description of the members and supporters of Al-Muhajiroun. These guys are essentially the Islamist equivalent of Combat 18. Interestingly enough, British Islamist Abdul-Aziz ibn Myatt is none other than David Myatt, former ‘ideological heavyweight‘ of C18 and author of numerous texts including ‘A Practical Guide to Aryan Revolution’. In 2003, Omar Bakri Muhammad stated of Myatt: ‘we both share a lot in common and I am sure he can help the Islamic cause’.
Islam For The UK continues to promote Bakri Muhammad’s ravings via its website and their American allies use anti-Semitic material lifted from neo-Nazi websites.
Why are Al-Muhajiroun front groups still operating openly in the UK? It’s time to shut them down for good.

The use of of WAR anti-semitic iconography is yet another litmus test showing that the Islamist-Trotskyite forces that march together, although increasingly out of step, are morphing into a genuine fascist movement.
What does Searchlight have to say about evidence of this nature? Where are the anti-fascist credentials of the righteous left, when confronted with classic Nazi propaganda regurgitated in the 21st century?
I read Freedland’s piece on CIF yesterday about the need for the Liberal Left to speak out against anti-semitism. I was very struck by the preponderance of comments that gave equivocal answers. Moral relativists finding new and creative ways to justify violent assaults on Jews and Synagogues.
This gentile recognises fascism when he sees it. Damn them all!

Edmund, great post. But isn’t there a provision to the anti-racism laws that says people with brown skins can’t be Nazis unless they’re Jewish?
Good to hear that Ibn Myatt’s career continues to flourish. He’s like a living fossil – a surprising specimen that should be extinct but proves, in living form, the common evolutionary descent of two apparently dissimilar groups.
Here’s Albert Speer by the way describing what Hitler might have made of Ibn Myatt:
Hitler had been much impressed by a scrap of history he had learned from a delegation of distinguished Arabs. When the Mohammedans attempted to penetrate beyond France into Central Europe during the eighth century, his visitors had told him, they had been driven back at the Battle of Tours. Had the Arabs won this battle, the world would be Mohammedan today.
For theirs was a religion that believed in spreading the faith by the sword and subjugating all nations to that faith. Such a creed was perfectly suited to the Germanic temperament.
Hitler said that the conquering Arabs, because of their racial inferiority, would in the long run have been unable to contend with the harsher climate and conditions of the country. They could not have kept down the more vigorous natives, so that ultimately not Arabs but Islamized Germans could have stood at the head of this Mohammedan Empire.
Hitler usually concluded this historical speculation by remarking, “You see, it’s been our misfortune to have the wrong religion. Why didn’t we have the religion of the Japanese, who regard sacrifice for the Fatherland as the highest good? The Mohammedan religion too would have been much more compatible to us than Christianity. Why did it have to be Christianity with its meekness and flabbiness?”

Here’s another nazi who find a home in islam:

That should be ‘found’.

And here’s another German, Egyptian, ex-nazi, Muslim, Johann von Leers, explaining some of the reasons why the Middle East was such a happy home.
Von Leers was a friend of Amin Husseini, and a propoganda adviser to Nasser. Previously, he worked for Goebels before and during the war.
There is nothing new about links between Nazis and Islamists.
They [the Jews] were subjected to a very restrictive and oppressive special regulation that completely crippled Jewish activities. All reporters of the time when the Islamic lands still completely obeyed their own laws agree that the Jews were particularly despised…
Mohammed’s opposition to the Jews undoubtedly had an effect—oriental Jewry was completely paralyzed by Islam. Its back was broken. Oriental Jewry has played almost no role in Judaism’s massive rise to power over the last two centuries.
Scorned, the Jews vegetated in the dirty alleys of the mellah, and were subject to a special regulation that did not allow them to profiteer, as they did in Europe, or even to receive stolen goods, but instead kept them fearful and under pressure.
Had the rest of the world adopted a similar method, today we would have no Jewish question—and here we must absolutely note that there were also Islamic rulers, among them especially the Spanish caliphs of the House of Muawiyah, who did not adhere to Islam’s traditional hostility to Jews—to their own disadvantage.
However, as a religion Islam has performed the immortal service of preventing the Jews from carrying out their threatened conquest of Arabia and of defeating the dreadful doctrine of Jehovah through a pure faith that opened the way to higher culture for many peoples and gave them an education and humane training, so that still today a Moslem who takes his religion seriously is one of the most worthy phenomena in this world in turmoil.

Arabic copies of Mein Kampf were found on sale in Edgware Road in 2002 and 2005. They were translated by Luis al-Haj AKA Louis Heiden, one of von Leers’ post-war circle in Cairo.
‘National Socialism did not die with the death of its herald. Rather, its seeds multiplied under each star’, says his introduction. Which brings us back to groups like Al-Muhajiroun of course.

Al Muhajiroun sounds like a very sticky Mediterranean sweetie, doesn’t it?
The Suffolk Booy is on the right lines: Islamotrotskyism is an emerging political ideology desperately short of theologians-theoreticians [See! There is no simple word for such a person.]
Whether there’d be any brass in it is open to doubt, though. There are those like Hitchens who allege that cunning elements on the unscrupulous Britleft were able to tap Iraqi and Libyan sources of funding in the past but Saddam, alas, is one with Ninevah and Tyre and it is probable that the Colonel in Tripoli is not so open-handed these days.
Is Edmund Standing right in calling for one or another group or website to be shut down? Isn’t this complicity in oppression and tyranny ?
“First they came for the Islamotrots … ”
IRONY ALERT
But wait! If enough Islamotrots annoy enough Jews into making Aliyah and settling in Israel, they’ll be doing the Zionists’ work for them, right? Can we be certain that these Islamotrots are not secretly in the pay of the Zionists?
How about the Bunnyhuggers’ National Party?
IRONY ALERT ENDS

If I were to declare ‘Islamic thinkers’ an oxymoron, I’d be in far more trouble than these dirtbag would be for all their pro terror wanking.

I believe ‘Mein Kampf’ (my struggle) translates as ‘My Jihad’.

‘Bringing change through intellectual and political struggle” ?
Well I’m certainly having an intellectual struggle with that one.
Don’t they have the trades descriptions act in the US?

Why are Al-Muhajiroun front groups still operating openly in the UK?
Because it’s impossible to draft a law that will prevent them just changing their name and claiming to be another organisation entirely.
The only way you could achieve their complete suppression is by changing the law to ban individuals from tkaing part in political activity, rather than proscribing given organisations.
But this would be step too far in the direction of totalitarianism, even for Harry’s Place.
Besides, countries such as the USA, despite suffering many more deaths due to Islamic terrorism than the UK, don’t seem to feel the need to ban these organisations. Britain doing so is nothing more than an ineffectual gesture by an authoritarian government.

Another idiot who thinks that HP is a person or a party.

No, I think there’s a definite set of political positions that most HP commentators subscribe to, N.O., including yourself, which I am describing as “HP”. Similarly, when people talk about “liberals”, they are referring to an intellectual trend, not a particular person or party. I’m sure you realise this, you are just being an ass because you have no argument to make.

Sea Kitten is smarter than his/her name suggests. If these terrorist apologists and sympathizers simply name themselves East Cheam Siamese Cat Society they can function as such until twigged and them they just regroup as Camden Town Gay Marching Band or Friends of the Hoy Lifeboat. See?
Nearly Oxfordian denies that HP is a party. One wonders why the denial is considered necessary.
Could HP run candidates in the Greater London area? Why not? I write from Dhahran, where HP-Partisans are thin on the ground.

This is evidence of stupendous illiteracy. So Maven, Tevya, I, mesquito, Morgoth, Fabian, Muffin, the Davids, Field, John P, Brett, SPGB, Irie, Flanker, HB, you, Flying Rat etc, subscribe to the same definite set of political positions? What horse manure.
And amazingly, claiming that this set of political positions tends towards the totalitarian is an even bigger pile of manure.
