THE RELIGION OF PEACE SENDS ANOTHER AMBASSADOR – AT 11:17 A.M. ET: Just as our malice in blunderland administration is making it clear that "Islamic extremism" is not in its dictionary, an incident in Britain illustrates why it should be, big time. From The Times of London:
THE home secretary, Theresa May, is facing a stiff test of the Conservative party’s claims to oppose radical Islam after her officials chose to allow a misogynist Muslim preacher into Britain.
Zakir Naik, an Indian televangelist described as a “hate-monger” by moderate Muslims and one Tory MP, says western women make themselves “more susceptible to rape” by wearing revealing clothing.
Naik, who proselytises on Peace TV, a satellite television channel, is reported to have called for the execution of Muslims who change their faith, described Americans as “pigs” and said that “every Muslim should be a terrorist”.
In a recent lecture, he said he was “with” Osama Bin Laden over the attacks on “terrorist America”, adding that the 9/11 hijackings were an inside job by President George W Bush.
In opposition, David Cameron and other senior Tories led criticism of the Labour government for allowing radical preachers into Britain to stir up hatred on lecture tours. While in opposition, Cameron also campaigned to get Yusuf al-Qaradawi, an Egyptian radical, banned from Britain.
Cameron and May now face a political test over Naik, whose inflammatory comments have led some moderate Muslims to call him a “truth-twister”.
One well-placed insider said: “Zakir Naik is a nasty man who makes al-Qaradawi look like a participant at a teddy bears’ picnic. He shouldn’t be allowed into the country to stir up hatred.”
COMMENT: Nice, huh? Look for him to be invited soon to American universities, as an expression of "multiculturalism."
I wonder where the "women's" groups are in all this. We know where they are. They are playing their proudest role, as backups for the leftist movements they truly represent. Women's rights? Oh yeah, that's on their list, too. Just look pretty far down the page.
