The Guardian's Pet Islamofascist

Sun, Jul 17, 2005 at 10:14:32 am PDT

‘Guardian’ man revealed as hardline Islamist. (Hat tip: LGF readers.)

The Guardian newspaper is refusing to sack one of its staff reporters despite confirming that he is a member of one of Britain’s most extreme Islamist groups.

Dilpazier Aslam, who has been allowed to report on the London bombings from Leeds and was also given space to write a column in last Wednesday’s edition of The Guardian, is a member of Hizb ut-Tahrir, a radical world organisation which seeks to form a global Islamic state regulated by sharia law.

It is understood that staff at The Guardian were unaware that Mr Aslam was a member of Hizb ut-Tahrir until allegations surfaced on “The Daily Ablution”, a blog run by Scott Burgess. Speculation is mounting that it may have been a sting by Hizb ut-Tahrir to infiltrate the mainstream media.

Late on Friday The Guardian released a statement to The Independent on Sunday saying: “Dilpazier Aslam is a member of Hizb ut-Tahrir, an organisation which is legal in this country. We are keeping the matter under review.” The paper refused to comment further. ...

Sources in The Guardian said that Mr Aslam was employed to increase ethnic diversity within the newsroom under The Guardian’s one-year traineeship scheme. One source said: “There was a feeling that we genuinely wanted more diversity, and like all national newspapers we were still a bit ‘pale and male’ so we were keen to recruit from different backgrounds.”

The islamofascist will keep his job.

The islamo"phobic" blogger will be jailed.

The new reality is here.

Soon in a neighborhood near you in America too.

And when the wahabbi's take over, you can preach to them about ethnic diversity.

Figures. Here in Tampa, Sami Al-Arian got tenure @ USF because then university president Betty Castor bowed to diversity and multi-culti; there were no tenured Arab profs at the time at USF, and that decision came around to bite Betty in the butt.

And in related news, sales of white flags have increased tenfold in England, mostly among the left media and "academics".

French factories have been hard-pressed to keep up with demand.

But they'll run all kinds of "investigative" tripe on the size of GWB's ball-sack, or how persecuted the poor "muslims" feel after 7/7.

Of all the noxious practices that liberalism has given us, 'diversity' and 'multiculturalism' have got to be the most malignant. That a famous news outlet would subscribe to the idea that someone of one race cannot write news for someone of another race is appalling. This fracturing of the bands of society represented by multiculti thinking leads nasty people to tempt soft heads with the notion that racial injustice can only be avoided by applying strict controls over racial representations in all walks of life.

That is why I say: Diversity Is Apartheid.

15 Kafirus Maximus  Sun, Jul 17, 2005 8:30:34am

Why dont muslims realize they are worshipping the moon demon Alliah er something close but they even kept the crescent moon on all their religious stuff. I mean how dense can a people be? To think Allah (the black rock in the kabba) is the god of the bible kinda lives up to biblical profecy. Did not the bible speak of a people who were lead by satan to kill the jews and christians thinking they were doing the will of god? Islam was mentioned in the bible it was. And I am an athiest. It's almost enough to make one rethink his position.

Fortunately, there will always be those Brits with enough backbone to stand up to any and all enemies.

Unfortunately, they may be in the minority these days. I think Winston Churchill is probably turning over in his grave.

Unfortulately, we have our own Islamofascist sympathizer in Texas, courtesy of the San Antonio Express News. His name is Mansour El-Kikhia, and he is also (surprise) a professor at UT-San Antonio. The only thing you can count on from him is that he will bash Bush for everything.

Diversity Is Apartheid.

I would qualify that: Diversity as practiced by the "celebrate diversity" crowd is Apartheid.

21 maximum leader  Sun, Jul 17, 2005 8:34:36am

I hate the UGrandia as much as anyone, but at least they are practicing what they preach- if they are in favor of diversity or multiculturalism, it does no good to deny the voices of Hizb uh tahrir or Hizballah or anyone. Now if they would just acknowledge that, in their universe, Hizb's philosophy is every bit as valid as the pro-choice gay rights lobbby, we would be getting somewhere.
The acts of 7/7 were not the antithesis of multiculturalism, they were it's true expression. Multi-culti aint just that FAB new Middle-Eastern restaurant that opened in the West End. It's also the bombmaker in the basement of that restaurant.

22 Ayatollah Ghilmeini  Sun, Jul 17, 2005 8:39:12am

And right away they were miraculously able to find the best candidate!

I find it so amazing the ugly symmetry of Nazis and Communists. Nazis set aside their racial bigotry to work with and often become Muslims, communists ignore Islam's position with women free speech and diversity of religion and also convert.

The answer is to be found in the first item of the Nazi and Communist faiths: America and the western democracies are Enemy Number One. With Nazism and Communism both permanently beaten as contenders for world power, they have thrown their support over to Islam as the only remaining force that can challenge America ascendent in the hopes of defeating the Ultimate Enemy.

Finally, Nazism and Communism are, at their core, ammoral forces that have shown they can naturally ally with anyone, even among themselves and they are polar opposites. The will to power by any means necessary is their purpose, their ideology only a tool by which to create thei regimes.

This alliance makes our job against Islam more difficult, especially because of the still enduring power of far left thought in western society. Here we see a pillar of the left, the Guardian, letting the dark vine grow and not troubled by it in the least. They could look at any item about Islamist supremacy, Khalifa, what to do to KUFFIRS and women and they should raise the drawbridge, instead the enemy is invited to join.

Well, I hope that for proper crime reporting they are diverse enough to have some murderers, child molesters, and rapists on their staff.

26 Goddessoftheclassroom  Sun, Jul 17, 2005 8:48:21am

But if all people are truly equal, shouldn't the best writers be the ones hired? Isn't it actually insulting to suggest that only a member of a group can write about that group's views?

Um, they have that all rolled up in Dilpazier Aslam. Haven't you been payin' attention to tenets of Islam?

/Now, if they had some Christians, Orthodox Jews, and Soccer Hooligans, THAT would be diversity.

And if the madrassas succeed in their aims, man will never walk on the moon, or visit space again. A reminder folks: this is the one muslim nation that does have nukes.

The same way MI5 had Jermain Lindsay, the Jamaica-born Islamikazi who killed 26 in the London bombing, under surveillance, now they can "monitor" Aslam.

Not only should Aslam not be working for the Guardian, he should be deported forthwith out of the UK.

36 Paul  Sun, Jul 17, 2005 9:05:27am
...we were a bit 'pale and male'so we were keen to recruit from different backrounds.

So the pale, puny, penis people of the Guardian went out and hired a religious nazi. It's not diversity, it's more subtle; Hizb ut-Tahnir accurately reflects the attitudes of the Guardian's 'pale males'; being a brown skinned Muslim, he can actually say what they think.

Wait a minute -

Too "pale and male"? So how did hiring this clown fix that?

Indians and Pakistanis consider themselves "Caucasian." In fact, the "Aryans" were originally from India, IIRC. They are not Black, they are not Asian. They aren't Arabs (who are also considered Caucasian, btw).

And this guy is (reputedly) male.

So, they hired another Caucasian male, just one who wasn't Christian. So why aren't they honest and admit that they wanted a Muslim?

well they went from "pale and male" to hairy and scary, diverse and perverse, in one swell foop I dare say.

The unbelievable level of stupidity (but I tend to think "stupid like a fox") at the Guardian News makes them neither..neither a Guardian or News.

Are they so desperate to be "loved" that they embrace a pitviper? It's the age old story of the alligator and the frog.

Police snipers track al-Qaeda suspects

UNDERCOVER police sniper squads are tracking as many as a dozen Al-Qaeda suspects because security services fear they could be planning more suicide attacks, writes David Leppard.
The covert armed units are under orders to shoot to kill if surveillance suggests that a terror suspect is carrying a bomb and he refuses to surrender if challenged.

The deployment of the teams in the past week signals the huge “intelligence gap” that has opened up since the London bombings.

Police fear the suspects could be planning a further wave of attacks but do not have enough evidence to arrest them, or place them under the government’s new anti-terror control orders.

Sir Ian Blair, the Metropolitan police commissioner, warned last week that there was a “very strong possibility” of more terrorist bombings.

Scotland Yard and MI5 say there may be more “bomb factories”. However, officers admit that they have no idea which suspects could be planning the next attacks so they are deploying the sniper squads as an emergency measure.

A member of S019, Scotland Yard’s elite firearms unit, said: “These units are trained to deal with any eventuality. Since the London bombs they have been deployed to look at certain people.”

It looks like they have finally gotten a clue..it is a start, anyhow.

Sources in The Guardian said that Mr Aslam was employed to increase ethnic diversity within the newsroom under The Guardian’s one-year traineeship scheme.

And yet the paper has such uniformity of opinion. Left, left and left. That is the true joke - the paper has absolutely no diversity of ideas at all. Just the same tired tripe.

2 comments I made on previous threads when posting a link to this item :

1 The Independent may be a bit jealous of the Guardian. It employs Robert Fisk, a mouthpiece for Islamist extremists. Whereas the Guardian employs the real deal.

2 In deciding to keep this snake employed, I wonder if the Guardian consulted or considered the family of the other Guardian trainee in the news. David Foulkes, aged 22, murdered in the bombing on the Edgwre road train.

How shallow is this commitment to diversity? I mean, how many psychopaths, sociopaths, and violent schizophrenics are there on the news staff? How long is this discrimination against the criminally insane to persist?

Speculation is mounting that it may have been a sting by Hizb ut-Tahrir to infiltrate the mainstream media.

They better look at the numbers of overseas students from Muslim countries studying media or politics in Britain. Why would the autocratic or fascist regimes, that all Muslim countries are, pay so many students to learn this? A few such students had grants from BC which is even more questionable.

In any case, western media had been "infiltrated" long ago, considering how well any "liberal" "reporter" is tunned into "root causes" of Muslim terrorism, as opposit to IRA terrorism, for example.

59 minuteman  Sun, Jul 17, 2005 1:31:45pm

On the bright side, when Aslam and his jihadi cohorts bring the rule of sharia in triump to the newly made dhimmis of the once great Britain - at least we'll get to watch Aslam cut off Robert "I deserve it" Fisk's head. Wonder if those LLL/MSM idiots will regret undermining the West then? Asshats all.

LIZARDOIDS TO WAR!

RED ALERT - RED ALERT - RED ALERT

Mr. Data prepare to go to warp arm main phaser banks!

ENGAGE!

*****

Lizardoid we need to harness the energy of the Blogos to strike the enemy at it's very heart THE MAD MULLAHS OF IRAN for the world's very first digital revolution.

This is the fastest way of building critical mass to generate a self-sustaining reaction in the Blogos. We can't wait for the LL and the MSM to wake up from their stupor. They're a large "turd" in the toilet blocking and filtering information critical to the American people. FIRE !

We have very little time left to take advantage of a strategic opportunity staring us in the face. The fall of the Iranian regime will deliver a crushing if not fatal blow to the enemy in the GWOT.

The Mad Mullahs of Iran will melt in the intense light of the free world just like the Wicked Witch of the East did in the Wizard of OZ.

You have the power within your fingers to crush this enemy and wipe this ideology of hate and evil from the face of this earth.

You just need a sense of purpose and mission. It's time to man up [ok woman to], suck it up, and win this war.

What we lack is imagination, creativity, innovation, leadership, passion and confidence in what we stand for and believe. We are all casting about analyzing what others are doing and waiting for others or the government to take action.

LIZAROIDS - We must lead the others into battle.

Go to Dr. Zin's site. Read about the very brave Iranian journalist (Yes real and not a wannabe of the Rove Affair) near death in an Iranian prison trying to garner the world's attention to the struggle of the Iranian people for freedom.

www.regimechangeiran.com

We can bring this message to the world.

It should be apparent by now that WE THE PEOPLE are those others. If our government WE THE PEOPLE empower to govern is being led astray by political indecisiveness, fear of repercussion from political correctness, fear of making mistakes, then it is -

WE THE PEOPLE that must move into fill the gap to save this Country. The Country was fought for and won by a few determined patriots against great odds in 1776. This does not spring from any nationalistic/colonial ambition but as true patriotism to defend this great Country from an enemy that would destroy us.

(See the new book 1776 by the Pulitzer Prize winning author - [Link: neturn.sinacity.com...] )

I would recommend everyone spend a little time reading Victor Davis Hanson too. We must learn from our history or we are destined to repeat it.

As one great liberal said that outshines all whom who would call themselves liberal today that starred down the missiles of another failed ideology:

"And so, my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country."

[JFK - [Link: www.americanrhetoric.com...]

See these LGF threads for info and photos:

LGF Link and LGF Link

Lizardoids pass this message to your friends, relatives, and all who will listen. If you know online gaming freaks have them spread the word in the gamerooms. Tell them this is a real war strategy game. And so on, and so on, . . .

Flood the OP-ED sections of your newspapers, email the major network news bureaus, and call the talk shows.

Have we lost all meaning in our words to describe or lost sensitivity to this barbaric, horrific, sadistic, and misogynic torture of Iranian women that these asshats carryout in the name of a "religion" of peace?

Just remember it could be your own daughters next!

This is evil incarnate! There is no defense or excuse. The line must be drawn in the sand before our own culture is infected.

61 Mardukhai  Mon, Jul 18, 2005 12:24:18am

So where's the Guardian's token Zionist?
Moderate? Conservative? Monarchist?

Last I heard, all of those were still legal in UK and represented legitimate points of view.

I can hear them now: "But one must understand, the Muslims of England have been discriminated against for centuries!"

Uh-huh.
