UK bans accused blasphemer Asia Bibi, but welcomes Muslim clerics who support murderer of foe of blasphemy law

DEC 14, 2018 BY ROBERT SPENCER

Leftists and Islamic supremacists frequently bring up the fact that I’m banned from entering the UK as if it is in itself proof that I’m an “extremist” who must be shunned by all decent people. In reality, as this story shows yet again, it’s a badge of honor. The Home Office recently banned Martin Sellner, Brittany Pettibone, Lauren Southern and Lutz Bachmann from entering, all for the crime of opposing jihad terror and Sharia oppression, and thereby made it clear that it is more authoritarian and unwilling to uphold the freedom of speech than ever – at least when it comes to criticism of Islam, Muslim rape gangs, and mass Muslim migration.

The bannings of Sellner, Pettibone, Southern, and Bachmann were just part of a long pattern. Pamela Geller and I were banned in 2013, apparently for life, also for the crime of telling the truth about Islam and jihad. Just days after Geller and I were banned, the British government admitted Saudi Sheikh Mohammed al-Arefe. Al-Arefe has said: “Devotion to jihad for the sake of Allah, and the desire to shed blood, to smash skulls, and to sever limbs for the sake of Allah and in defense of His religion, is, undoubtedly, an honor for the believer. Allah said that if a man fights the infidels, the infidels will be unable to prepare to fight.”

And Syed Muzaffar Shah Qadri’s preaching of hatred and jihad violence was so hardline that he was banned from preaching in Pakistan, but the UK Home Office welcomed him into Britain.

The UK Home Office also admitted Shaykh Hamza Sodagar into the country, despite the fact that he has said: “If there’s homosexual men, the punishment is one of five things. One – the easiest one maybe – chop their head off, that’s the easiest. Second – burn them to death. Third – throw ’em off a cliff. Fourth – tear down a wall on them so they die under that. Fifth – a combination of the above.”

Theresa May’s relentlessly appeasement-minded government also admitted two jihad preachers who had praised the murderer of a foe of Pakistan’s blasphemy laws. One of them was welcomed by the Archbishop of Canterbury. Meanwhile, the UK banned three bishops from areas of Iraq and Syria where Christians are persecuted from entering the country.

“UK mosque welcomes preachers who support Islamist assassin linked to case of Christian mum Asia Bibi,” by Jake Ryan and Ben Lazarus, The Sun, December 12, 2018 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

A CONTROVERSIAL mosque praised by local cops has hosted two preachers who support an Islamist assassin linked to the Christian Asia Bibi blasphemy case.

The Jamia Islamia Ghousia Trust in Luton invited the radical preachers to speak at its centre over the last month.

They are Muhammad Ramzan Sialvi, from Pakistan, who spoke at Luton’s central mosque last week and had been previously pictured kissing the corpse of Pakistani assassin Mumtaz Qadri in 2016.

Another, Hamid Saeed Kazmi, also attended Qadri’s funeral and has called for Ms Bibi to be re-jailed because authorities “cannot compromise on any slights made against the prophet”.

Qadri, an elite police commander, murdered a politician in 2011 over his support of Christian mum Ms Bibi, 53, who was sentenced to death in Pakistan on blasphemy charges.

Last month we reported how Prime Minister Theresa May is said to have blocked a bid by Cabinet ministers including Home Secretary Sajid Javid to offer Ms Bibi asylum in the UK.

Reports have also emerged of mullahs in Pakistan hunting Ms Bibi and her family door-to-door forcing them into hiding.

The Roman Catholic from Punjab in Pakistan had been sentenced to death in 2010 after she was accused of insulting the Prophet Mohammed – which she denies – with the conviction overturned in October….

Pakistani politician Salmaan Taseer had spoken for reforming blasphemy laws in light of Ms Bibi’s case before he was shot 28 times by Qadri, one of his personal bodyguard, in 2011.

Qadri was arrested and convicted over the assassination before he was hanged in 2016.

But a host of radical clerics praised the killer as a martyr including several invited to the Jamia Islamia mosque in central Luton, Beds.

Preacher Sialvi described it as a “privilege to be able to kiss” Qadri’s body at his funeral and that it had been “a memorable moment in my life” to send off the “honourable gentleman”.

Last month the Luton mosque billed him in an advert as a “special guest” and a “great scholar” attending an afternoon prayer session.

And three weeks ago another radical cleric Mr Kazmi – who supported assassin Qadri and has attacked the release of Ms Bibi – was invited as part of a group of speakers to a conference at the mosque in Luton….
