We Are All Palestinians!

We Are All Palestinians!
by Laura Stuart

We are all Palestinians engaged in the jihad (struggle) against Zionist meglomania and lies.

Terror campaigns led by Israel supporters against mosques, universities and any venue which invites Palestinians, speakers on the Israeli occupation or Islam are revealed regularly on blogs such as Harry’s Place. These co-ordinated bullying tactics are terrorism by harassment with endless phone calls and emails to the venue provider who is led to believe the person coming to speak or even play music is anti Semitic, racist or a holocaust denier.

Harry’s Place is unashamedly and openly Islamophobic, in 2006 they won the annual award for Islamophobia from the Islamic Human Rights Commission.

Posters on Harry’s Place plumbed new depths of Islamophobia this week with a photograph of Sheik Haitham al Haddad wearing clothes which are commonly worn by religious Muslim men. The wearing of loose, white, long garments by men is not something cultural, it is recommended by the Prophet Mohammed p.b.u.h. to show modesty and cleanliness. Anyone who enjoyed Bible stories as a child will remember illustrations of Prophets and religious figures wearing loose, flowing robes. What Harry’s place did with the photograph of Sheik Haitham al Haddad was to make it a caption competition. To me, and to most right minded people, inviting comments to make fun of people who wear clothes out of religious conviction and is the lowest of the low. It is actually symptomatic of intolerant cultures which are foreign to western values. British values and manners used to mean not poking fun at people who may look a little different and to respect men of the cloth or religious scholars. Harry’s place posters are not happy with British values or even British laws, they want to impose their own. Is it possible that Harry’s place is foreign to British culture and if it is, exactly which culture does it represent?

Not only are they Islamophobic, the posters on Harry’s Place are liars. They claim to care about the rights of Muslim women, the rights of gays and other Human Rights issues, but what they really seek to do is to undermine Islam itself. To claim to support Human Rights whilst fully supporting war and occupation in Muslim lands and especially the ethnic cleansing and occupation of Palestine is total hypocrisy.

These days we find we are all Palestinians as Zionists try to control our society by extensive and relentless political lobbying. But they also engage in the active suppression of those voices whom they do not wish to hear. It is time that people in the U.K. were more aware of the Zionist agenda of controlling the discourse, whether it be Islam being taught in the masajid or on Middle Eastern politics. Read here about a clear and open campaign to set up a central point of reference for universities to consult on who should be considered kosher to speak to students on campus. This, if realised would be yet another attempt to control discourse in addition to the various lobby groups already in existence.
Perhaps the grossest act of hypocrisy of Harry’s place is their banner which claims “Liberty, if it is anything, is the right to tell people what they don’t want to hear. They are either liars or openly admit they are the biggest opponents of Liberty around.

Surah 83 Al Mutaffifin verse 29
إِنَّ الَّذِينَ أَجْرَمُوا كَانُوا مِنَ الَّذِينَ آَمَنُوا يَضْحَكُونَ
Indeed, those who committed crimes used to laugh at those who believed
