Muslim Police Officer Hired to Promote Diversity Ends Up Being Part of Grooming Gang
https://summit.news/2019/12/19/muslim-p ... ming-gang/

Ditta was appointed in 2016 as a diversity officer “to boost numbers of Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) people applying to join the force” after then Prime Minister Theresa May said the number of black and Asian officers in the UK was “simply not good enough.”

The other men arrested as part of the sex trafficking sting include Vaqaas Abbas, Nadeem Adalat, Sajid Adalat, Vaseem Adalat, Amjad Ditta, Christopher Eastwood, Metab Islam, Mohammed Rizwan Iqbal, Ishtiaq Latif, Asad Mahmood, Arfan Mir, Younis Mohammed aka Younis Khan, Nadeem Nassir, Shahzad Nawaz, Shazad Nazir, and Sohail Zafar.

All good traditional British names, I’m sure you’ll agree.

just like in India, the nepali constitution was changed by the very same BIF commies/naxals to aid the conversions.

The net result is that the percentage of converts has climbed almost exponentially, against just like in India.

Hope that Boris Johnson remembers what he said in july

Boris Johnson demands 'useless' Sadiq Khan must go ‘immediately’ to thunderous applause

Thu, Jul 18, 2019

BORIS JOHNSON demanded the “immediate” expulsion of Sadiq Khan from the office of London Mayor sparking huge applause from the audience at the final Tory leadership hustings on Tuesday evening.

The Tory frontrunner savaged Mr Khan out of nowhere, branding him “useless” and “invertebrate” and “not a patch on the old guy.” The onslaught was woven into Mr Johnson’s wider solution to a question that had been posed on monocultural housing policies. A member of the audience asked the former London Mayor: “How will you ensure the Government's housing policies don’t lend themselves into creating ethnic categories inadvertently?”

Without hesitation, Mr Johnson blasted: “You build fantastic housing in the right place.

“And you put in superb transport infrastructure so you can create mixed communities where there are high quality jobs.

“And if you look at the disasters of planning in the ‘60s and ‘70s where monocultural estates were built, it’s because there simply wasn’t the transport infrastructure.

“Look around London and look at the estates outside London - you can see exactly what went wrong.”

Joy! UQ Jails have Shariah!

British prisons plagued by ISIS-supporting extremists, who hold Sharia trials, groom inmates – report
23 Dec, 2019 09:06
Islamist extremists interned in Britain’s prisons preside over Sharia trials and prey on young Muslims in hopes of radicalizing them, the Times of London has reported.

A former prisoner at HMP Woodhill, in Milton Keynes, told the paper that he had been recruited by a group of inmates that pledged allegiance to Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS). According to his account, the prison had its own self-appointed “emir,” who oversaw a makeshift Sharia court at the penitentiary. The ex-convict said he had participated in the “trial” of two prisoners who had supposedly disrespected Islam by drinking alcohol. The men were found guilty and received beatings as punishment.

The group purportedly had access to recordings of senior Al-Qaeda member Anwar al-Awlaki. Many members of the extremist sect are violent offenders who converted to Islam while in prison, the Times said. The ex-extremist told the paper that since leaving prison he has received messages from inmates offering him passage to Syria.
For 10 years you’ve done nothing! BBC host slams BoJo as PM reveals 74 convicted terrorists roaming UK streets
1 Dec, 2019 12:33 / Updated 22 days ago

UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has revealed that 74 convicted terrorists are roaming the streets of the UK after being granted early release from prison, in cases similar to that of London Bridge attacker Usman Khan.

Speaking on the Andrew Marr Show on Sunday morning, the PM revealed that dozens of people with convictions for terrorism offences have been let out of jail before serving their full sentences.

The Conservative politician declined to provide further details on the cases but sought to reassure the British public that these people are being monitored. Khan was released from prison last December, less than 11 months before he killed two unarmed civilians in Friday’s attack. The jihadi had been jailed in 2012 for plotting to bomb the London Stock Exchange and to build a terrorist training camp.

“I don’t want to go into the operational details. I am sure that people can imagine that what we are doing with the other 74 individuals is to ensure that they are being properly invigilated to ensure that there is no threat and we took that action because we were concerned,” Johnson said

A 15-year-old boy who was part of a gang that harassed a lesbian couple on a bus by pelting them with coins and asking them to perform sex acts apologised as he was told to attend diversity classes by a judge today.

Melania Ramirez, a 28-year-old doctor from Uruguay, and Christine Hannigan were targeted by three teenagers on the N31 bus in Camden, northwest London, on May 30.

Shocking CCTV caught the 15-year-old boy and two other males, aged 16 and 17, terrorising the women for nine minutes.

SCHOOL APOLOGIES OVER MANCHESTER ARENA BOMBING ESSAY TASK

A school in Yorkshire has apologised after setting homework that required children to imagine themselves as the parent of a victim of the Manchester Arena bombing.

The task, given to year eight pupils at Bridlington School as part of a personal, social, health and economic education (PSHE) class, was to write a response to the view that “all terrorists should be forgiven”.

UK election suggests disinformation spread by politicians may be a bigger threat in 2020 than Russians or ‘deepfakes’
Domestic disinformation marred the UK election, Russian meddling less so.

Fergal Gallagher

“From our evidence the biggest source of disinformation for voters in the U.K. was from people who are candidates to become their next government,” Will Moy, CEO of the independent U.K.'s fact-checking charity, Full Fact, told ABC News.

There was one example of foreign interference when a document leaked by known Russian accounts on Reddit was used by Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn to criticize the government at a press conference. This document was actually leaked back in May, and reported on, but only came to prominence when Corbyn produced it in front of cameras. It’s also worth noting that to date, the validity of this document has not been questioned.

The threat of "deepfake" videos -- manipulated clips to make a real person appear to speak words they never uttered -- also appears to have been overstated in the U.K. election according Joe Galvin, a journalist from social media news agency, Storyful. As the election kicked off, a research group produced two "deepfake" videos of both Corbyn and Johnson to warn of the dangers of such videos, but that was the last we saw of them in this election.

“The only people that are producing deepfakes at the moment are people are warning about how terrible they are," Galvin told ABC News. “Why do something complex like a deepfake when you can do something straightforward and unsophisticated and have the same impact?”

Like pointing out that Hilary Clinton is a crook, and Jeremy Corbyn a jackass?

The headline is a dog whistle to all the rabid BiFs to mock India and Hindus. More to come.

Meanwhile here is a counter news item from rt.com.

https://www.rt.com/news/476940-india-do ... t-studies/

On Thursday, the Beeb ran a story on the new six-month course from the Banaras Hindu University (BHU). The Varanasi-based university “is offering a certificate course to teach doctors how to treat people who claim to see or be possessed by ghosts”, the report said.

A reader would have to continue beyond the clickbait headline to learn that the ‘Bhoot Vidya’ course is about psychosomatic disorders and therapy rather than paranormal activity. One of eight principle branches of traditional Ayurveda medicine, Bhuta Vidya suggests remedies to ailments like psychosomatic disorders whose causes are not obvious. Ayurveda’s other branches focus on things like midwifery, trauma surgery, longevity and infectious diseases.

There is, of course, no shortage of people questioning whether any part of Ayurveda has a place in a modern medical university at all.

Others pointed out that, while advanced pharmacology may have an advantage in treating severe mental conditions, plenty of things invented in India have become widely accepted as a means of improving wellbeing – like yoga and meditation.

Really gladdens the heart that the task of setting and correcting the narrative has been outsourced to a foreign government controlled media base, for events inside and outside india. Very pragmatic. Perhaps, in the tradition of indo-rus relations, they might someday transfer knowledge on how to run media relations, for a fee of course.

Will be keenly watching the developments in Northern Ireland over the next few months, the Sinn Fein is keeping its options open (border poll) so as not to cede space to the 'dissidents' or former provincial IRA calling for a United Ireland. NI has not had an assembly for over 2 years now since the DUP and Sinn Fein couldn't agree on a power sharing deal. Expect to see more devolution of power to the Stormont, or the Sinn Fein flex it's muscles to the Tories in No10 (they don't take their seats in the Commons).

Boris may have a significant working majority since Thatcher, but he his confronted with the weakest the UK has ever been since the Blitz. His own compulsions to not extend the transition period beyond December '20, cozying up to Trump, and virtually no one ready to discuss a FTA, forcing him to punch above his weight.

Muslim population of England passes the three million mark for the first time

While the ONS said the new estimates could not be used to assess local populations, the 2011 census report said that 'Muslims tended to be concentrated in particular areas of England.

'In over half of local authorities the proportion of the population who were Muslim was under one per cent. In over three-quarters of areas it was under six per cent.

'The areas with the highest proportion of Muslims were in London with the boroughs of Tower Hamlets and Newham having 34.5 per cent and 32.0 per cent respectively.

'There were several areas outside London with proportions higher than 20 per cent including Blackburn with Darwen in the North West (27.0 per cent ), Bradford in Yorkshire and the Humber, Luton in East of England, Slough in South East, and Birmingham in the West Midlands.'

BBC sees ghost in BHU’s ‘Bhoot Vidya’, gets panned

BBC sees ghost in BHU’s ‘Bhoot Vidya’, gets panned

NAOMI CANTON & Binay Singh
Dec 29, 2019,

A BHU spokesperson said Bhoot Vigyan, which is part of Ashtanga Ayurveda, deals with psychosomatic disorder

LONDON/VARANASI: The BBC is being accused of mocking Hinduism and India after it ran a story about a new course at Banaras Hindu University that it said teaches "doctors' ghost studies."

BBC online ran the story with the sensational headline: "Bhoot Vidya: India university to teach doctors Ghost Studies." The story -- the second lead in the India section on the BBC website on Friday -- was referring to a six-month certificate course in 'Bhoot Vidya' starting in January at the Ayurveda section of BHU's Institute of Medical Science (IMS).

The BBC website stated: "A prestigious Indian university is offering a certificate course to teach doctors how to treat people who claim to see or be possessed by ghosts." It ran the story with an image of doctors wearing green scrubs getting ready to perform surgery on a patient.

The British Hindu Press Association responded with a Facebook post saying: "BBC News fails to translate a Sanskrit word 'Bhoot Vidya' and confuses 'Psychotherapy' with 'Ghost Studies'!!! It's unfortunate and shameful to see that BBC doesn't have a single competent staff to understand Sanskrit and translate into English?" (sic)

General Secretary of the National Council of Hindu Temples UK Satish K Sharma told TOI: "This is a deliberate attempt to mock and denigrate India and Hinduism. Saying ghost studies is an inadequate and sensational translation."

The BBC story said: "Officials say it will focus on psychosomatic disorders which are often confused with paranormal occurrences." It quoted a BHU official who spoke to an Indian news agency that "a separate unit of Bhoot Vidya (Ghost Studies) had been set up in the university" and that "such a course would teach doctors about the Ayurvedic remedies to treat ghost-related ailments".

The British public broadcaster then carried a series of tweets by individuals mocking the course with one comparing India offering such a course to "China commencing research in 6G technology" and another tweeting "Rest of the world: Big Data, Artificial Intelligence, Machine learning."

In Varanasi, BHU spokesprson Rajesh Singh said that Bhoot Vigyan, which is part of Ashtanga Ayurveda, deals with psychosomatic disorder. "The medicine course was based on ancient texts of Maharishi Charaka, one of the principal contributors in the field of ayurveda," he added.

Other branches of Ayurveda are Kayachikitsa (internal medicine), Shalya Tantra (surgery), Shalakya Tantra (ENT, ophthalmology, dentistry), Kaumara Bhritya (paediatrics), Agada Tantra (toxicology), Rasayana (geriatric medicine) and Vajikarana (aphrodisiac study).

"Of these eight branches of Ayurveda, five are already adopted by Central Council of Indian Medicine (CCIM), a regulatory body of Indian medicine under the ministry of AYUSH. Hence, on recommendation of the policy and planning committee of IMS (BHU), the academic council of the university has approved six-month diploma courses in Bhoot Vigyan, Vajikarana and Rasayana from January 2020," Singh said.

"Students who take up this course will be taught to treat psychosomatic disorders and psychiatric illness based on Ayurveda while a link will also be established with modern medical science. A graduate from any stream of modern medicine/Indian medicine and/or nursing is eligible to study Bhoot Vigyan. It is pertinent to mention that the nomenclature of the unit is based on texts written by Maharshi Charaka and it is not at all related to paranormal studies," Singh stressed.

Ayurveda faculty Prof Yamini Bhushan Tripathi could not be contacted by TOI despite numerous calls. A few days ago, a section of media had quoted her about a crash course in 'Bhoot Vidya and this was misinterpreted as 'the science of the paranormal'. It triggered a debate on social media about the course. A BBC spokesperson told TOI: "The same translation has been used widely in the Indian media - in English and Hindi reports. We would encourage people to read the article on the BBC website, which includes the full context of the story."

In London, Satish K Sharma told TOI that 'Bhoot Vigyan' means the body of knowledge on non-physical influences that impact a person. "It could be the influence of the moon or psychosomatic illnesses or it could refer to the atmosphere before a storm. English has a limited way of expressing the mind sciences. In colloquial use the word 'Bhoota' is often mapped onto the word ghost to mean something like poltergeist owing to its meaning of a non-physical influence having a detectable impact. But, what they are studying has nothing to do with ghosts nor are they illnesses caused by ghosts. This is what happens when you talk about esoteric or subtle sciences. The only people who can translate them adequately are those who have a solid foot in both cultures and languages," he said

Pradeep Bhardwaj, who established the India Centre UK in Swindon in Britain, said: "For an organisation of such global repute and more importantly one which is mainly funded by tax payers, the BBC needs to be more balanced, careful and diligent. When such portrayal of a country like India, the cradle of the human race, mother of all civilisations, becomes a pattern, it may also raise questions about the BBC's institutional bias."

Psychosomatic disorder - also called psychophysiologic disorder - is a condition where psychological stress adversely affects physiological (somatic) functioning to the point of distress. Disorders resulting from stress may include hypertension, respiratory ailments, gastrointestinal disturbances, migraine and tension headaches, pelvic pain, impotence, frigidity, dermatitis and ulcers.

Foreign terrorist suspected of plotting Isil-inspired attack on London granted legal aid to claim asylum - The Telegraph - Robert Verkaik,

A video of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the now-dead Isil leader, was found in the suspect's flat among other terrorism propaganda - REX

A foreign terrorist suspect who the security services believe was planning to carry out an Islamic State-inspired attack in London, has been granted legal aid to claim asylum in the UK.

The man, who can only be named as 03, was detained in London two years ago in a counter-terrorism operation involving MI5 and Scotland Yard.

At his flat, police found terrorism propaganda vowing to kill Westerners, a picture of the decapitated body of American journalist James Foley who was murdered by Jihadi John, as well as a video featuring Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the now-dead leader of Islamic State. He also had pictures of the terrorists responsible for the Paris attack in 2015 which killed more than 100 people.

Last night the decision to grant legal aid was criticised by Tory MP Andrew Bridgen, who said: "My constituency is in the heart of middle Britain and I'm sure people living there will think that by using the legal aid system in this way he is abusing the hospitality, protection and privileges of this country."

According to court documents, MI5 believes the man "aspires to engage in some form of attack-planning in the UK". The security services are concerned that he is planning to "use explosives, firearms, vehicles, knives or other bladed weapons, blunt instruments; or any combination of these." In 2010 he was arrested outside Finsbury Park station with a surgical knife rolled up in his shorts.

In September 2017, 03 was stopped by police while he was driving a "high-powered Mercedes S500". Police now believe he was preparing to use the car for a vehicle attack against pedestrians.

After O3's arrest the government began proceedings to deport him another country that for legal reasons cannot be named. But O3 has been granted legal aid to challenge his deportation under human rights law on the grounds he needs international protection.

His case is due to be heard, partly in secret, in June this year.
