Anti-Semitism Discovered In the Muslim Community: Shocker!

Douglas Murray’s blog post in the Spectator caught my eye yesterday, in which he points out a must-read article in the HuffingtonPost by Mehdi Hasan. No, really:

The Sorry Truth Is That the Virus of Anti-Semitism Has Infected the British Muslim Community

Hasan felt compelled for some reason to speak out against Lord Ahmed’s rant about how a Jewish conspiracy caused his conviction for killing someone while driving and texting at the same time.

To claim that your jail sentence for dangerous driving is the result of a Jewish plot is bigoted and stupid. The peer has since been suspended from the Labour Party and forced to stand down as a trustee of the Joseph Interfaith Foundation. I’m not sure how many “Jewish friends” he has left – if, that is, he had any to begin with.

Full disclosure: I know Lord Ahmed and have defended him in the past. In 2007, he flew out to Sudan to help free the schoolteacher Gillian Gibbons from the clutches of the odious Islamist regime in Khartoum. In 2009, an Appeal Court judge noted how the peer had “risked his life trying to flag down other vehicles to stop them colliding with… his car”. He is not a latter-day Goebbels. But herein lies the problem. There are thousands of Lord Ahmeds out there: mild-mannered and well-integrated British Muslims who nevertheless harbour deeply anti-Semitic views.

No kidding.

The truth is that the virus of anti-Semitism has infected members of the British Muslim community, both young and old. No, the on-going Israel-Palestine conflict hasn’t helped matters. But this goes beyond the Middle East. How else to explain why British Pakistanis are so often the most ardent advocates of anti-Semitic conspiracies, even though there are so few Jews living in Pakistan?

The fact that a visceral hatred of Jews and conspiracy-mongering is rife within the Mohammedan communities around the world is old news to people here, and surely it’s not a stunning revelation to Hasan, either. The real question is, what will the BBC do about this?

To be honest, I’ve always been reluctant to write a column such as this. To accuse my fellow Muslims of being soft on the scourge of anti-Semitism isn’t easy; I feel as if I am ‘dobbing in’ the community, telling tales to the non-Muslim teacher. Nor do I particularly want to assist the English Defence League in its relentless campaign to demonise all Muslims, everywhere, as extremists and bigots.

We aren’t. And we’re not all anti-Semites. But, as a community, we do have a ‘Jewish problem’. There is no point pretending otherwise.

So it’s not news to Hasan after all. He’s been aware of it for a very long time. How about the BBC? We all remember how they leapt to support Baroness Warsi when she lamented that Islamophobia had “passed the dinner table test” in Britain. They made sure to do a Have Your Say on it. The World Service audience got their own Have Your Say, asking who was responsible for Islamophobia. I don’t need to reel out a laundry list of all the news reports, radio shows, and drama programming the BBC has produced in the last few years trying to encourage people to accept Islam, and even welcome it. More recently, in keeping with the BBC’s remit to foster social cohesion, they promoted the national “Wear a Hijab Day”, to encourage girls of all races and religions to spend the day embracing this aspect of Mohammedan culture, to learn how “the other” lives and so bring communities closer together. Some of us joked at the time that we wouldn’t be holding our breath for the BBC to do a “Wear a Yarmulke” day. But now it seems like this would be the perfect opportunity for them to use the special, unique powers and influence of the BBC to take a stand against the anti-Jewish sentiment that has equally passed the dinner table test in Britain. And it’s not just at the dinner parties Mehdi Hasan goes to, either.

Hasan seems to be aware that the Palestinian situation is not necessarily the sole reason for the hatred of Jews amongst his co-religionists. He may not know just how far back it goes (before the creation of Israel, in fact), and one has to equally wonder if anyone at the BBC shares his awareness. Only time will tell. I don’t think Hasan’s purpose here is to delve into the history of anti-Semitism in the Muslim World or anything like that, so there’s no problem with him not going into it. However, the BBC does do history and background, when it suits them, so there’s no excuse for them not to get into it in detail.

If the BBC doesn’t respond to this with even a fraction of the energy with which they’ve attacked the problem of Islamophobia, it will be a clear failure of their Charter-bound duty. Whether or not it’s evidence of a similar epidemic of anti-Jewish sentiment at the BBC remains to be seen.

  1. Not to mention the Guardian, who last year had to apologise for two Anti-Semitic articles by, I think, Deborah Orr. Anti-Semitism is rife on the Left, and their levels of denial about it are matched only by their eternal denial of Stalin & co.

    I agree with much of this article. But Mehdi Hasan is not the chair of a major political party and a member of the Upper House, he’s a political journalist and, one might argue, not a terribly important one. So his comments are eminently less newsworthy than those of Baroness Warsi and it would not be fair to judge the BBC’s response to this article – whatever it should turn out to be – as if the two were equivalent.

    • David Preiser (USA) says:

      Except Hasan is a regular on the BBC, and they see him as an important voice. I take your point that he’s not anywhere near the high public position that Warsi was at the time, which is why I’m asking for a mere fraction of the coverage from the BBC, and not an equivalent response. Surely you can agree that the BBC should at least acknowledge there’s a problem.

          As it is for all Muslims in the UK. It is not that they agree with the nut jobs it is that they are frightened of the response they would get from their own community.

          Demonising all Muslims for the actions of a few is a futile tactic. Trouble is there are quite a few of ‘a few’ and because they are often the only voice heard they have power. Until organisations like the BBC come out in support of the ordinary Muslims and give them a voice we’ll never hear the condemnations of Islamofascism that I often hear on a one-to-one basis.

      From… http://www.americanthinker.com/2008/05/misunderstanding_islamic_antis.html

      The uncomfortable examination of Islamic doctrines and history is required in order to understand the enduring phenomenon of Muslim Jew hatred, which dates back to the origins of Islam. Even if all non-Muslim Judeophobic themes were to disappear miraculously overnight from the Islamic world, the living legacy of anti-Jewish hatred, and violence rooted in Islam’s sacred texts – -Koran, hadith, and sira — would remain intact. The assessment and understanding of Islamic anti-Semitism must begin with an unapologetic analysis of the anti-Jewish motifs contained in these foundational texts of Islam. We can no longer view Muslim Jew hatred — including annihilationist strains of this apocalyptic hatred — as a “borrowed phenomenon,” seen primarily, let alone exclusively, through the prism of Nazism and the Holocaust, the tragic legacy of Judeophobic Christian traditions, or “The Protocols of the Elders of Zion” from Czarist Russia. ……

    Mehdi is understating it, perhaps because Muslim anti-semitism is too obvious to deny. The truth is that the Jews (all Jews, not just Israelis, as responsibility is taken to be collective) are currently being subjected to a sharia-ordained jihad. Western incursions into Iraq and Afghanistan were always meant to be temporary and in support of local ‘moderate’ but orthodox Muslims: defensive jihad (the type that is compulsary for all adult males) against the west might be treated as a moot point but a permanent invasion from outside dar al Islam coupled with a breach of their contract of subjugation by middle eastern Jews makes Israel definitely the real thing. Holy war, for Muslims, means the allah approved practices of massacre, rape, abduction and pillage and it is open season on the Jews.

  11. Teddy Bear says:

    We know there are Muslims in our society who genuinely prefer the values that are inherent in it than those of the lands they descended from. It is fair to assume that they usually don’t speak out against the more virulent mindset within their Muslim community for a few reasons:

    1. They don’t want to risk reprisals against themselves, and be used as ‘examples’ for others to keep quiet. In Palestinian areas they would simply call them Israeli collaborators and kill them.

    2. They would expect our own society to lead the way in dealing with this menace.

    3. Until now, it is usually only when ‘put on the spot’ that the so called ‘moderate Muslim’ denounce any actions committed by the more extreme, that later they can claim within their community that it is part of Taqiyya (lying and deceit) to make the infidels believe they are not condoning these actions.

    So it is quite a step for Mehdi to raise his head above the parapet and speak about the mindset from his own volition. I certainly have more respect for him than previously. It had seemed as most moderate Muslims looking at the potential future were simply going to go whichever way the wind blows. Perhaps some are seeing the future where there may be a more radical Muslim dominance in the society and know they don’t want it. It is not an acceptable possibility, and perhaps this motivated Mehdi to try and affect his community.

    I hope more come out of the closet.

      The more abuse on Twtter etc he gets from other Muslims is a price worth paying…especially as it reinforces his adopted position as a ‘moderate’ to those watching….unless they have a rather cynical view of things as I perhaps have.

His HuffPo article followed five days after a very similar article in The Times by Maajid Nawaz, Chairman of the Quilliam Foundation which for the last six years has argued against Muslim extremism.
    The Quilliam Foundation has performed a number of insightful analyses of British Islam and published some useful documents.
    The one which I have found most telling is their investigation of British mosques, where they found that 97% of Imams were foreigners, preaching an ‘Asian’ version of Islam to ‘British’ Muslims.

      Now, please explain how speaking out against discrimination against one’s own community is the exact same thing as speaking out against your own community’s discrimination against another.

    Islam was a political movement which united under the one facsimile of a God derived from Judeo-Christian thinking and practices-but given a decidedly sinister slant.
    Intellectually and morally it is untenable. Just angry, bitter and coercive…but enough to scare the lefties, hence its elevation to current heights.
    The Jews and Christians-the real ones-won`t be scared of it, and will be ready should they need to be….Israel is hated for good reasons, but its friends know its role.

    Islam was a political movement which united under the one facsimile of a God derived from Judeo-Christian thinking and practices-but given a decidedly sinister slant.
    Intellectually and morally it is untenable. Just angry, bitter and coercive…but enough to scare the lefties, hence its elevation to current heights.
    The Jews and Christians-the real ones-won`t be scared of it, and will be ready should they need to be….Israel is hated for good reasons, but its friends know its role.

    EGYPT.

    The political tone of this BBC-NUJ Cairo Bureau piece appears to side with the Muslim Brotherhood, not with the ‘protesters’.

    “Egypt’s opposition protesters clash with Islamists”

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-21906461

    Of course, if the ‘protesters’ were ‘Syria rebels’ (Sunni jihadists),
    or ‘Uncut’ or ‘Greenpeace’, then, of course, BBC-NUJ would support them.
