On the heels of the UK recognizing an Islamic terrorist state in Israel, police arrested the third known person for criticising Hamas and released a Muslim man who had gone on a stabbing spree after he saw a Koran being burned. Or as the judge in the case put it, “the holy Koran.”
Who is the Koran holy to? The political and judicial systems of the United Kingdom which have effectively enacted Islamic Sharia blasphemy law by selectively prosecuting those who offend Islam. But not those who offend the religious sensibilities of Christians or Jews. Do whatever you like with a cross or a bible, but touch a Koran and you’re not only under arrest.
You’re also fair game for a stabbing.
Hamit Coskun, a half-Armenian and half-Kurdish gentleman, both of whose halves have suffered from genocide under Turkish Islamist rule, decided to protest by burning a copy of the Koran outside the Turkish consulate in London while shouting “Islam is religion of terrorism”.
Moussa Kadri set out to prove him right by fetching a knife and stabbing at him while shouting, “I’m going to kill you”. The Muslim terrorist explained to the police that he was just out to “protect my religion” in the traditional Islamic fashion through violence.
And the British authorities were typically understanding of Muslim violence against non-Muslims.
Moussa Kadrhas, the Muslim stabber, was freed on bail, while Hamit Coskun, the non-violent non-Muslim stabber, was kept locked up. In the UK, being stabbed by a Muslim is considered a more serious sign of guilt than the actual stabbing. And the authorities were much more worried about Coskun, a self-proclaimed “atheist” and “critic of Islam” on the loose, than just another one of the thousands of Muslim terrorists who are already freely running around the country.
The stabbing victim was charged with the unique crime of “having intent to cause against the religious institution of Islam”. This had not previously been a crime in any non-Muslim country, but with a Muslim ‘justice minister’ enforcing Islamic law, that may no longer be an accurate description of the United Kingdom anyway.
When the case came before the court of justice, District Judge John McGarva denounced Hamit Coskun for his “highly provocative” behavior. “Your actions in burning the Quran where you did were highly provocative, and your actions were accompanied by bad language in some cases directed toward the religion and were motivated at least in part by hatred of followers of the religion.”
The Muslim stabber’s trial however was far more leniently handled.
Even though Moussa had allegedly shouted “I’m going to kill you” while stabbing at another human being (or at least a human being), he was only charged with possession of a knife and common assault, not attempted murder. The authorities allowed the stabber to send in a picture of the knife and he sent in a picture of a palette knife rather than the bread knife he actually used.
The stabber’s judge was as kind and understanding as the stabbee’s judge had not been.
Judge Adam Hiddleston, who had previously been part of an organization that defended Muslim illegal alien invaders, let the Muslim stabber go with a suspended sentence because “you were clearly deeply offended by a man who was protesting outside the consulate and who as part of his protest had set fire to the holy Quran.” Whom was the Koran holy to? Hiddleston.
“I see no reason for that sentence to result in immediate custody,” Judge Hiddleston twiddled, describing the Muslim stabber as a “highly respected and valued individual” and claimed, without evidence that, “there is an almost non-existent chance of repetition of this behavior.”
Almost. Unless he sees something else that offends his finely honed Islamic sensibilities.
In the UK, ordinary people condemning Islamic violence and mass migration have been jailed, but Muslim violence against them is virtually a victimless crime.
To convince the public of this, the BBC state media ran a gentle smiling picture of the Muslim stabber and an angry scowling picture of the non-Muslim whom he had stabbed. You could try to ignore the BBC and its hackneyed Ministry of Truth propaganda, but under recently passed 1984ish laws, state media must be embedded in smart TVs and soon on YouTube.
While burning a copy of the Koran, Hamit Coskun had carried a t-shirt stating that, “Islam is a terrorist ideology. The Quran should be banned”. And he “told the police that he had decided to burn the Quran because he had studied it extensively and that it incited people to terrorism and encourages the beheading of non-believers.” The half-Armenian and half-Kurdish man fully proved his case, not in the UK court system, but where it really matters, in the court of reality.
He had proven it so well that the British authorities locked him up, freed his Muslim attacker and then apologized to his stabber for all the trouble that had been caused by offending him.
If the British authorities really didn’t believe that Islam and the Koran are the bearers of violent ideologies, they would treat them the way that they do Christianity and Judaism, or at least Hinduism and Buddhism, rather than cowering, flattering and appeasing Muslims, while ruthlessly silencing any political dissent with police squads and prison sentences.
When Coskun burned a Koran, two random Muslims, Moussa Kadri and a nameless delivery man (if stabbing a non-Muslim protester who is offending Islam doesn’t earn a prison sentence, kicking him certainly won’t even merit an arrest) quickly turned to violence. That’s the real issue.
Rather than stop Muslims from stabbing, running over and bombing people, a policy that European governments had fitfully tried, they’ve moved on to legalizing Muslim violence.
In the UK, it’s now illegal to tweet “F___ Hamas” but mostly legal to stab non-Muslims.
The next step will be to legalize bombing buses (perhaps on the anniversary of 7/7) and then hijacking planes and flying them into buildings as long as Islam has been properly offended.
This is well beyond blasphemy law. Even of the Islamic kind. There are other better names for it. Cowardice, collaboration, treason and Quislingism will do for a start. The Starmer government along with many of its sort are little better than the Petain government in France. They are collaborators put into power by the invaders to suppress any dissent against their rule while making noises that they represent the interests of the nation they’re selling out every day.
Moussa Kadri stabbed Coskun from the front, PM Keir Starmer is stabbing England in the back.
