Jihad Comes to Lincs

Wow!

The letter is entitled “JIHAD – The Holy War For Islam – A warning to the brides of British Soldier Warmongers” and threatens to “destroy the families of unbelievers”.

The full text of the letter reads: “You have been identified as an unbeliever and a bride of a murderer of the servants of Allah in the Holy Land.

“Our peoples have suffered at the hands of your husbands who have murdered, killed and raped our women and children.

“We the servants of Allah intend to avenge our peoples by destroying the families of unbelievers in the land of hate.

“You along with many others will pay the price for your husband’s destruction in the Holy Land.

“We now know where you live and will begin to destroy the unbelievers and their families as they have done to us.”

It is signed off “The Circle of Allah – Avengers Serving Allah”.

There’s not much I can say here. Except to add, not only have we not seen this on the BBC and, er, how long before some apologist decides to tell us that this is nothing to do with Islam?

  1. I can just imagine the reception this family got when the reported it to the police (as a “Hate Crime”) – they did, didn’t they?

  2. I would imagine that a similar letter, identifying the householder as a supporter of torture, burning alive, female genital mutilation, and slow decapitation, and therefore subject to the vengeance of a Christian God, and his followers, would have BBC Newsnight in an orgasmic cadenza. Just proves that there is little connection between law and justice in this country at the moment.

  3. “…there is little connection between law and justice in this country at the moment…”

    Was there ever?

    • Ted, I think you know the answer to that one; two letter word, beginning with ‘N’.

      And it’s not ‘Ni!

      Don’t the people who make such idiotic threats realise they’re going to create such a backlash they’ll be sent packing back to the stone age they desire, and it will be a bloody affair.

  4. I think I may have mentioned before, that my son has frequently told me NOT to tell anyone around where I live what he does for a living, for fear of repercussions. Something I never had to watch before moving to the midlands, I use to be able to be openly proud of my son’s profession. Shameful.

  5. It’s the Vietnam War all over again.

    I dream of the day when one of our glorious leaders actually picks up a history book instead of an accounts ledger, and learns something useful.

  6. There’s not much I can say here. Except to add, not only have we not seen this on the BBC and, er, how long before some apologist decides to tell us that this is nothing to do with Islam?

    Given that there are millions of Muslims in the UK who don’t write such threatening garbage, then simple deductive logic should tell you that it doesn’t have anything to do with Islam. It is has everything to do with the criminal fuckwit who wrote it. Should we say that the crimes of Thatcher supporting Jimmy Savile reflects ill on Toryism?

    • You’ve lost the plot there. Islam is an ideology and this stuff is straight out of that ideology. It has everything to do with Islam. That many Muslims choose to ignore the more repugnant parts of the ideology doesn’t change that.

      The Savile/Thatcher thing is just irrelevant bollocks, frankly.

      • So if a Conservative supporter wrote it you would condemn all Tories for it, because conservatism is a political ideology?

        • Oh FFS! Where, precisely, does it mention in any Tory policy that kiddie fiddling is all okay? Get back to me on that one. The Koran, however, is very clear about how infidels should be dealt with. These people are merely returning to the roots of their ideology. The comparison is fucking nonsense and you know it.

          I would also point out that you are constructing a strawman here. I said this is about Islam, which it is. I did not say “all Muslims”.

          Margaret Thatcher left power twenty-five years ago. Now would be a good time to get over it. Indeed, it is bordering on logical fallacy. Any given argument seems to result in “yeah, but Thatcher” FFS change the fucking record!
