Topics including 'the West is Waging a War Against Islam'

By IPT News, Jul. 6, 2015, Investigative Project

More than 100 radical Islamists are allowed to speak at universities in the United Kingdom (UK) every year, according to a Student Rights group study set for release this week as reported by the Daily Mail.

The study also reveals that more than 20 students who enrolled in UK universities have been convicted of terrorism charges or died fighting with extremists in Syria.

The Student Rights group, run by a prestigious Westminster institute, the Henry Jackson Society, outlines how numerous student organizations refuse to partake in the UK government's anti-extremism strategy called "Prevent."

UK: 300 Patients A Day Have Surgery Axed

James Lyons and James Gillespie, Dec. 28, 2014, Sunday Times

This is an average of 311 each working day and a rise of almost 50% on the same period two years ago. The numbers are up 16% in the last year alone.

Another 161 urgent operations — where life, limb or organs were at risk — were also cancelled in the first half of this month, up from 138 last year.

The disclosure comes amid mounting concern about the growing signs of strain in the health service. David Cameron has ordered his two most trusted “fixers” to take charge...

FLASHBACK: Muslims Can Claim Benefits For Several Wives, Say Ministers

By Gabriel Milland Political, Feb. 4, 2008, Express.co.uk

Ministers have ruled that men in polygamous marriages can receive state handouts for each wife, including additional income support, even though bigamy is illegal in the UK.

A review of benefit rules for such marriages concluded in December that allowing husbands to claim for their additional wives remained the “best possible” option.

The decision will chiefly benefit Muslim men, as Islamic law allows them to have up to four wives.

Multi-marriages are recognised by the Government – provided the weddings took place in countries where the practice is legal. But critics last night attacked the decision as “completely unacceptable” and warned it could lead to demands for other changes in British laws.

Corin Taylor, of the Taxpayers’ Alliance, said: “British taxpayers are paying a record amount of tax so the Government has a duty to make sure that every penny is spent properly.

“Polygamy is not something which British law allows and British taxpayers should not have to pay for extra benefits for second or third wives.”

Tory spokesman Chris Grayling said: “You are not allowed to have multiple marriages in the UK, so to have a situation where the benefits system is treating people in different ways is totally unacceptable and will serve to undermine confidence in the system.

UK Counterterrorism Police Arrest 2 More Men In London

Police in London arrested two more men today as part of ongoing investigations into "Islamist related terrorism."

The two men are in addition to nine others arrested Thursday, the city's Metropolitan Police Service said in a statement.

All but one of the men are accused of being members of a banned group and encouraging terrorism. That eleventh man was arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender, police said.

Anjem Choudary, a former leader of a banned radical group called al-Muhajiroun, was among the nine arrested Thursday, reported British media, but that wasn't confirmed by police.

Several homes and businesses in London were also being searched as part of the investigations, police said.

The statement issued today reiterated that the arrests and searches "are not in response to any immediate public safety risk."

UK Accused Of Harbouring Libyan Cleric Who Helped Aid Islamist Insurgency

Britain has been accused of housing a possible war crimes suspect after the Guardian learned that Libya's highest spiritual leader, the grand mufti Sheikh Sadik Al-Ghariani, helped orchestrate the Islamist takeover of Tripoli from the UK.

On a day when David Cameron announced tougher measures to tackle the threat from terrorists, the Foreign Office confirmed that Ghariani was residing in the UK, from where he is encouraging his followers to overthrow the Libyan government.

Earlier this week, the radical cleric celebrated the violent capture of Tripoli by Islamist militia force Libya Dawn and called for a widening of the rebellion using an online television channel registered by a close family relative in Exeter.

The day after Tripoli fell to the Islamist group Libya Dawn, Ghariani sent congratulations to the Islamist militants using his internet channel, Tanasuh: "I congratulate the revolutionaries in their victory, I give blessing to the martyrs," he said.

Ghariani's presence in Britain will prove acutely embarrassing for the government, emerging on the day the prime minister warned of a "greater and deeper threat to our security than we have known before" from Islamist extremists as the security threat level was raised from substantial to severe.

The matter is also likely to strain relations with Washington. American officials are understood to be furious that he has been allowed a pulpit to preach in the UK, particularly following his praise in June of the militant group Ansar Sharia, which the US blames for the killing of its ambassador Chris Stevens in Bengazi in 2012.

Muhammad, Mohammad, Mohammed--Most Popular London Name

By Andre Walker, Aug. 15, 2014, Breitbart.com

As exclusively reported by Breitbart London last week, Muhammed has been crowned Britain's most popular boys name in figures published by the Office of National Statistics (ONS) today. The name of the Muslim prophet beat Oliver as the most popular boys name chosen by parents in Britain in 2013.

As a result of the way the statistics are put together, the name does not appear to have won, as the ONS classifies each of the different spellings as a different entry on the list. This means that "Muhammad" came in 15th with 3,499 children but "Mohammed" was 23rd with 2,887 and "Mohammad" was 57th with 1059 given the name.

As a result the top three spellings alone accounted for the names of 7,445 boys, easily beating the second most popular name Oliver which got just 6,949. Also the statistics are only published for the top 100 names, so the even more obscure spellings of Mohammed are likely to push the total even higher.

Influential UK Labour Activist Quits Party Over Gaza Statements

Source:  www.breitbart.com
By Raheem Kassam, Aug. 9, 2014, Breitbart.com

A Labour Party supporter of over 20 years and former director of the influential Labour Friends of Israel group has sensationally resigned from Ed Miliband's party this week, citing his response to the ongoing Gaza crisis, as well as other factors.

Kate Bearman, who has also praised Prime Minister David Cameron's response, wrote in the Jewish Chronicle this week:
I've been a supporter of the Labour Party for 20 years but my support is over.
I feel I don't recognise the party of principle and serious government that I knocked on doors and delivered leaflets for. It has let me down. 
I feel Ed Miliband's and Douglas Alexander's rush to a condemnation of Israel's ground incursion into Gaza gave me no choice but to say goodbye to the party I have always voted and campaigned for. 
In contrast, David Cameron deserves real credit for his objective and balanced statements on Gaza. 
He has shown genuine insight into the horrific choices facing Israel's leaders as the country struggles to deal with a huge upsurge in Hamas rocket attacks and the discovery of the terrorist tunnels leading from Gaza into Israel.

Church of Climatology: Global Warming Now Part Of Religion Worldwide --Skeptic compared to Holocaust deniers

April 12, 2014 Canon Giles Goddard , Climate Change 0 Comments
By Michael Bastasch, Apr. 10, 2014, The Daily Caller

Is global warming a “great demon”? The Church of England says it is and has promised to divest itself of hydrocarbon fuels as a last resort in order to help cut Britain’s carbon dioxide emissions.

Calls for the church to divest came from its own clergy in the wake of massive flooding and torrential rainfall that hit the UK last winter, as climate scientists debated whether or not the wet winter was caused by global warming.

Canon Giles Goddard of the church’s Southwark diocese said the religious body should “align the mission of the church with its investment arm and with the life of the parishes.”
“Climate change is a moral issue because the rich world has disproportionately contributed to it and the poor world is disproportionately suffering,” said Goddard. “Poor communities are least equipped to deal with the impacts.”
