The National Association of Muslim Police (NAMP) claimed that ministers were wrong to blame Islam for being the “driver” behind recent terrorist attacks. Far-Right extremists were a more dangerous threat to national security, it said.
The officers told MPs that Muslims were being “stigmatised” by the Government’s attempts to tackle terrorism, which was adding to “hatred” against entire communities. [telegraph.co.uk] Read more
The National Association of Muslim Police is in denial over Islamist terrorism The Telegraph’s report on the hugely unhelpful intervention by the National Association of Muslim Police (NAMP) is highly disturbing at a time when Great Britain faces an enormous threat from Islamist terrorism. The Telegraph piece reveals the controversial stance of the NAMP put forth in a memorandum submitted to a parliamentary committee investigating extremism. [telegraph.co.uk] Read more
Send for the Grammar Police .... NAMP complained that the concept of "Islamist terrorism" unfairly singled out Muslims. It also denounced the British government for not allowing its foreign policy to be decided by Islamic representatives such as NAMP or the Muslim Council of Britain.
Instead, it complained, "established pressure groups" - thought to be a reference to the notoriously influential Jewish lobby - and pseudo-Muslim groups such as the Quilliam Foundation monopolised the government's attention. [Heresy Corner] Read more
Despite Everything, Government Confirms that NAMP Is ‘Key Partner’ You will have read the Telegraph report on the near-illiterate National Association of Muslim Police position paper in which they rubbished PREVENT while engaging in extensive grievance-mongering. You will also have seen that the NAMP links to and promotes the Khomeinist front, the so-called Islamic Human Rights Commission. [Harry’s Place] Read more
The thin blue line of jihad .... The government has bent over backwards to avoid associating Islam with terrorism. In an attempt to peel moderate Muslims away from the radicals, it has poured more than £140 million a year into ‘moderate’ Muslim groups.
It has positively fallen over itself to encourage the recruitment of Muslim police officers in the belief that that this would persuade British Muslims that the government had no problem with them, only with the radicals in their midst. Yet these are precisely the policies which the NAMP claims have led to ‘hatred against Muslims’ which ‘has grown to a level that defies all logic and is an affront to British values’.
Thus the fruits of appeasement. Rather than taming jihadi extremism in Britain, the cowardice of politicians has merely resulted in fracturing the thin blue line that protects us -- and turning it into a potential weapon of the jihad. [The Spectator] Read more
