“I dare the same peers to now invite David Irving, the Holocaust denier, to share his thoughts freely in the Lords.”

But Lord Ahmed (the first Muslim peer) has done something just as bad. Stephen Pollard writes:

1) “On February 23 [2005], Lord Ahmed hosted a book launch in the House of Lords for a man going by the name of Israel Shamir. “Israel Shamir” is, in fact, a Swedish-domiciled anti-Semite also known as Jöran Jermas.

The gist of Shamir/Jermas’s speech at the meeting can be gleaned from its title, “Jews and the Empire”. It included observations such as: “All the [political] parties are Zionist-infiltrated.” “Your newspapers belong to Zionists . . . Jews indeed own, control and edit a big share of mass media, this mainstay of Imperial thinking.” “In the Middle East we have just one reason for wars, terror and trouble — and that is Jewish supremacy drive . . . in Iraq, the US and its British dependency continue the same old fight for ensuring Jewish supremacy in the Middle East.” “The Jews like an Empire . . . This love of Empire explains the easiness Jews change their allegiance . . . Simple minds call it ‘treacherous behaviour’, but it is actually love of Empire per se.” “Now, there is a large and thriving Muslim community in England . . . they are now on the side of freedom, against the Empire, and they are not afraid of enforcers of Judaic values, Jewish or Gentile. This community is very important in order to turn the tide.” ”

2) “Yesterday, I phoned him. When I told him that I planned to write a piece drawing attention to his actions in hosting Shamir/Jermas and that I wanted to give him every opportunity to respond, he replied: “I am not even going to speak with you.” He then put the phone down.

Lord Ahmed’s refusal to condemn the remarks seems to indicate that he sees nothing wrong with inviting such a man to speak, or with the words Shamir/Jermas used.”

1) Yasmin Alibhai-Brown is a disgrace

“Long standing readers will be aware of my contempt for the Yazzmonster. I haven’t mentioned her witterings of late because I have grown bored by her monstrous ego and jaw dropping stupdity. Shooting fish in a barrel can grow dull.

But her piece today is so utterly vile that I feel I have to give her what was once called the oxygen of publicity, if only so that those of you who see and hear her when she pops up on the airwaves are aware of the sort of person she is.

Her piece is one long tirade of bigotry”

N.B. Link now gone but she was accused of racism in the piece.

“As for lunch with her… Wouldn’t you simply have to spend the entire time staring at your Crackberry, to ward off the horror of having to engage with the Yazzmonster sitting opposite you?”

And here’s Professor Norman Geras on the “moral disgrace” that has “infected wide sections of the Western media and left-liberal opinion”:

Here we go again

“Even after this ludicrous theory had run into the sand, Yasmin Alibhai-Brown in the Independent fearlessly risked what she described as ‘the wrath of Moses’ to suggest that LFI headed a Jewish conspiracy to manipulate the British government into support for Israel.

The ‘wrath of Moses’, eh? Yasmin’s got the Goebbeldegook for Jews off pat. But we can’t call this poison by its proper name, because that would only prove her claim that the all-powerful Jews use such labels to suppress the evidence of their perfidy.”

If I remember correctly Alibhai Brown wrote immediately after 7/7 that she had been hoping that the carnage was done by the IRA rather than Islamists – this typifies her attitude to Islamist terror. She is a lamentably ignorant and silly woman, who, typical of many Muslims who claim to be open-minded and yet when scratched resort to type, believes that Muslims are special and should be above the laws of the countries in which they find themselves.

Wilders is no fascist. He is the only man brave enough to go public with the fears that others may share have not dared to air.

And Alibhai-Brown cheerfully dismisses the demonstrators’ activities as ‘innocent acts of bravado’.

Revolting.

“This tide of anti-Muslim hatred is a threat to us all”

What I found utterly incredible, as you remark, is that the police were under actual physical attack by the mob – yet, BECAUSE THE ARE MOSLEMS they should, in his view, and that of Yasmin Alibhai-Brown not be brought to trial for their violence. As you say, he and she expect them to get a “free pass” – simply because of their religion and ethnicity.

Amazing, and I hope the fact that they did NOT get a free pass indicates that they are a minority – a violent, hate-filled, vocal minority to be sure, but not representative of the greater British community.

Moreover, you are right on the mark drawing attention to her comparison of Geert Wilder’s documentary film about the contemporary situation in Holland, which has nothing to do with Jews, Judaism, or Israel and the holocaust denying Irving. It indicates both how deep her hatred runs, and how comparisons between the Holocaust and the Palestinians have become endemic – her article is replete with the usual lies – genocide, ethnic cleansing, etc. for a group of people who are increasing in numbers at unsustainable rates, who are living supported by the world in money, food, goods, and, sadly, weaponry in some cases.
