Punish a Muslim? - A London Experience
On April 3rd I went with my daughter to the National Gallery in London. Trafalgar Square was crowded, I still noticed these two guys with signs in front of the gallery, but didn't pay much attention. Our focus was on art.
Coming out, hours later, they were still there. This time I looked more closely, their signs made me sad, so I asked my daughter to wait. I wanted to talk to them, and ask how things were in London. They started explaining about Islamophobia, I said I knew, that's why I wanted to know how it was here. So they brought us up to date on the recent and current news:
The letters arrived in March. Sent anonymously to multiple communities, the letters with words in bold at the top declared that Tuesday, April 3, would become “Punish a Muslim day” in Britain.
Sent to homes, lawmakers and at least one business, the documents detailed a disturbing point-based system that would award attackers for acts of hatred and violence: 10 points for verbally abusing a Muslim; 500 points for “butchering a Muslim using a gun, knife, vehicle or otherwise.”
Tears shot in my eyes. the Black Mirror episode "Hated in the Nation" came to mind.
The police had advised Muslims to stay at home on April 3rd, and here they were, in the center of London, on that day, holding up their signs, saying "Ask us anything", talk to us...
We talked some more. We took a couple of pictures. Other people stopped and took pictures as well. They invited us to come to the mosque, asked if we had been there. We hadn't. Anyone is welcome, they said. I thanked them. I have as much intention of going to the mosque as I have of going to a church. That's not what this is about.
Moby's video for "In this world" comes to mind. People talk about wanting to see aliens, to have strange, new visitors, but how open are they to seeing them? How open are you to something different than that which you expect to see?
The first time my son saw this video, he cried. I love him for it (and many other things).
I feel like I'm preaching, or beginning to, so I'll shut up now.
Thanks for listening.

Wow. I am tearing up at how much courage it took for them. It's these little steps that slowly dissolve prejudice, but gotdamn it takes an eternity. 100% agree, people couldn't handle an alien species- we have hundreds of thousands of species alien to us here and we wage war on them, not to mention the myopia we have for our own species. Thanks for sharing, i'm going to share to my facebook also if that is ok? I have a much larger community there <3
Yes, of course it's ok. Thank you @kilbride!
I think it´s wonderful you decided to give their great brave statement more visibility! I will resteem to contribute.
Thank you very much Romanie.
There are indeed despicable people in the world to even consider making that letter and publishing it, like the cowards they are
Yes... Have you, by any chance, seen Hated in the Nation?
It very nicely outlines the importance and involvement of all players, of all contributing factors.
The extremes are always extreme, and it's easy for (almost) anyone to be judgmental of those, but the choice for peace or war, love or hate, begins long before getting to any of those extremes.
That choice begins with the little things.
Great personal experience, beautiful and authentical reaction. Unfortunatelly, world is full of blind followers, easy to manipulate and full of great manipulators who enjy the game of making more blind peoiple. Therefore, each action coming from open heart and mind is a chance to put the light upon the darkness. And that is the only way . Thank you for both, the action and the story.
Thank you for sharing this. Seems it went peacefully in the UK but a woman in Houston was stabbed. It does give me faith in the human spirit to see the response to the letters. Human chains around Mosques were nice to see.
The human chains always hit me xox

Here's what your son and everyone else needs to learn. I apologize, in advance, for offering up a rather lengthy response.
Sadly, there's a much larger tragedy, here. It's the whole social engineering aspect. The UN/WHO implemented population reduction programs in the 70s. The results are discussed in a document entitled NSSM 200, a 2004 Kissinger Report. I'll post 2 links in separate posts to provide evidence. Here's a short quote from the Document:
NATO and Eastern Europe. In the west, only France and Greece have a policy of increasing population growth -- which the people are successfully disregarding. (In a recent and significant change from traditional positions, however, the French Assembly overwhelmingly endorsed a law not only authorizing general availability of contraceptives but also providing that their cost be borne by the social security system.) Other western NATO members have no policies.3 Most provide some or substantial family planning services. All appear headed toward lower growth rates. In two NATO member countries (West Germany and Luxembourg), annual numbers of deaths already exceed births, yielding a negative natural growth rate. (shows the advanced planning)
It turns out that Europe was impacted harder than any other region on the planet! Predicted growth rates from Table 3, to be in one of the links, for Europe are:
2015 - 2020 -0.37%;
2020 - 2025 -0.44%;
2025 - 2030 -0.52%;
2030 - 2035 -0.62%;
2035 - 2040 -0.72%;
2040 - 2045 -0.82% and finally,
2045 - 2050 -0.90%! (at these rates of increase, the population is doomed)
in other words, OOPS! They messed up. Europe will disappear with those numbers. One excuse, given in the West, is that we need foreigners to "help take care of our increasing aged." It's a straight out lie! Those folks are being brought in because they repopulate in large numbers! They are being bought in to replace Europeans! Many European countries, mentioned in the report, are trying to get back to at least 0% population growth. If they can turn the tide, the refugees are no longer needed in Europe! As it was all arrange in the first place, the UN/WHO would have to back to the drawing board!
That's the best solution. Without Europe increasing her numbers, the incoming populations are the future dwellers and therefore, they have no need to assimilate! The land will be theirs!
The west has to figure out how to be pro-choice, while providing that most of those choices are pro-life. If you grew up reading Catch 22, well, there's a catch!
It is also doubly sad that you won't see the West giving props to any decent Muslims! That doesn't serve anyone's agenda! It sort of goes back to the teaching of Jesus, in that, ANY TIME you see someone claiming to be righteous, they ar a liar or a snake.
If you want a "cheat card" to see who "gets it", that would be Exhibit A. No need to post that, it's called the Sermon on the mountain! Ironically, the Muslims have an equivalent in 2, what are referred as authentic hadeeth, just not by the Shi'ia. If you look at the 2 together, they brilliantly and quite succinctly, encapsulate the entire teachings of Jesus! I might not be Catholic anymore, but I always dug what I viewed he taught "in total" as awesome and those 2 hadeeth nail it! (but I won't frighten anyone by posting, unless asked. I know information can scare people!)

That document is copyright protected, but you can ignore all the log-ins and just look at the charts and tables. The link below has the document without the charts and tables, but you CAN read it.

This is the preface to the previous document. It briefly mentions the 1974 Kissinger Genocide plan. You used to be able to find it on google, but I don't use it anymore. You almost have to create new algorithms on DuckDuckGo! (on pretty most of my searches, too!)

I am familiar with lots of things, believe it or not.
Regardless...
I don't look at people in terms of origin, nationality, color, much less religious background and such.
Most of the time I don't even look at people in terms of gender. Man, woman, it's the same to me... they are humans, and sexual attraction doesn't even enter the picture. It is only when something happens to make a man stand out...to me, according to my personal criteria... Then, and only then do I look at him as a man... and may feel attracted....
I realize that makes me seem complicated, but to me it really only makes me very simple. So, you see, when you speak of Europeans dying out, well, I see people, and you are saying that they are bringing in more people.
As for "integration", what do we want to stand for?
Oppression and threats or education and conversation?
(Although... integration... that word... huge topic.)
A quote from a silly movie came to mind, excuse the language, but this is how it goes:
White people, black people, brown people, yellow people, get rid of 'em all.
All we need is a voluntary, free spirited, open-ended program of procreative racial deconstruction.
Everybody just gotta keep fuckin' everybody til they're all the same color.
My apologies if you found any offense, there. I try to be careful what I say because I purposely like to raise issues that Muslims tend to ignore. I feel sorry for the Muslims in the picture because MI-6 is now going to run a psy-op against them to discredit the in the Muslim community. If they have support in their local Masjid, then they'll be targeted, to.
The Muslims, in general, have no idea they are being caught up in a gigantic psy-op! And Muslims, in particular, can be goaded into a whole host of things. Those "cartoons" are done and sponsored on purpose! Free speech in Islam is not the same thing as in the west. The main reason being, and is accepted, is that you can't lie! It isn't free speech, more like forbidden speech.
The reason I know those folks will be a target is history! It's mine! But, I also now who the next "rightly guided Kalifah" will be. It's none other than Isa ibn Marriam, more commonly known as Jesus, the son of Mary! It isn't the Madhi, his job is point out that this A) Jesus the Messiah and that B) he IS the Kalifah! (I can hear the fatwas now!)
I would prefer the Muslims NOT kill their brethren! A certain Sheikh, who got "droned" after he was released from a Yemeni jail, esp know as his son was killed the very next week and later, his daughter. He was caught up in a psy-op, he worked for the CIA. He actually hosted and chauffeured those Saudis that came to America, that were being trained by the CIA, and later used as patsies on 9-11. Newsbud has an exclusive on this.
So, the original plan is just to populate Europe, but they added bonus is that the refugees include CIA/NATO/MI-5/Mossad and Saudi agents, along with a few that might actually agree with all the violence. Any crises' fomented in Europe can be used for excuses for wars overseas and additional crises' locally. Both sides have been brainwashed, but the Muslims are newer to it. We might get through to them, but it would tougher on westerners. We've subject to very specific propaganda for a hundred years now!
Somehow, and/or once they see it, they'll get it. Any violence, esp any killing only serves those trying to accomplish just that.
And, lol, never saw that movie, but reached the same conclusion in the 70s. All my kids are mixed, but I think i had an axe to grind, back then. I wasn't wasn't too pleased to folks of the lighter complexions. Hopefully, I'm over that, even if it means trying to spare some of them!
Cuz...you should only hate hate, not the fools that get caught up in it. They ones that inspire it, heck, hate them, too! But most folks are bonafide miracles! You just need to know the paths that got them where they are.
Until people learn to accept human rights, as opposed to "religious specific" rights, we have another Catch-22! And up to and until I see Jesus with my own eyes (which definitely might not happen, though we might proffer different reasons why!), I say human rights first and for crying out loud, stop the BS! I'm certain they've assigned AI(s) to figure out how to cause division. So, if we let it, we're screwed!
I'm lucky, I'll be dead most likely, but we're better served trying to identify all the various things that Government and Corporations are doing to kill us. At the least, let's stop helping them! We're in a tinder-keg, all around.
Sorry, I know, I know, old people talk too much....
your table 3 is what scares me....come on people....let's all have some cute babies....they really are a lot of fun.... :)
I just read about the stabbings that went on in London - over a thousand on one day. Did this have to do with that letter per chance? We were all dumbfounded how demons can surely control the thoughts and actions of humans.
Thank you, @anibas, for daring to care... As a Muslim, living in Trump's bewildering America and our wounded world, I'm especially grateful for your compassion.
