Sharia UK: Burger vendor taken to court, fined for “hate speech” for criticizing Islam

24

Consider this — there have been five jihad terror attacks foiled in the last few weeks, including some which were “very close” to being carried out, Britain’s most senior police officer has said, but this is what the British police are busying themselves with — sharia enforcement.

The UK is doomed.

Sharia UK: Burger vendor taken to court, fined for “hate speech” for criticizing Islam

By Robert Spencer, July 13, 2017:

He wouldn’t serve a customer after disagreeing with him about Islam. That was a bit rude, but then the customer who was refused service “reported him to the police for ‘hate speech’ and Mr Gardiner found himself before a court for the first time in his life.”

That is police state behavior, with people turning in others to the authorities for ideological deviance, perhaps hoping to curry favor by doing so. Piers Palmer will soon be living in the Britain he has chosen and that he wants, and by then he may regret the course of action he has taken, but at that point it will be far too late.

The freedom of speech is dead in Britain. It is illegal to hold critical views of Islam or Muslims. If Jim Gardiner had criticized Christianity and Christians, and refused service to a Christian, he might have been justly criticized for doing so, but he never would have been fined for “hate speech.”

Britain is finished.

“Anti-Islamic burger van owner, from Stanley, County Durham, taken to court for refusing to sell sausage sandwich to customer who didn’t share his views,” by Tony Kearney, Northern Echo, July 12, 2017:

A BURGER van owner has been prosecuted for refusing to serve a sausage sandwich to a customer who argued against his anti-Islamic views.

Retired merchant seaman Jim Gardiner, 73, began chatting to landscape gardener Piers Palmer, 46, at the Ship’s Galley burger van he runs near the M6….

When Mr Gardiner, originally from Craghead, near Stanley, in County Durham produced some laminated anti-Islamic literature from beneath his sauce bottles, Mr Palmer refused to read it.

At that point the angry burger vendor refused to make his sausage sandwich and bluntly told his customer to “do one.”

A furious Mr Palmer reported him to the police for “hate speech” and Mr Gardiner found himself before a court for the first time in his life….

Mr Palmer told the court: “He said it was the Muslims and Pakistanis in Manchester and London who were the real problem, and not people like us.

“I was completely gobsmacked because I’d only asked for a sausage sandwich. I didn’t know how we’d got on to Muslims and Pakistanis.”

He said Gardiner spoke about Muslim “no-go” zones in Manchester and he had challenged this, saying it was an urban myth.

“I didn’t want to talk about it – I just wanted to eat my lunch,” said Mr Palmer.

He described how the pensioner lifted some sauce bottles and handed him some laminated sheets of paper, saying: “Read this if you want to educate yourself.”

When Mr Palmer refused, Gardiner told him: “Then you’re in the wrong place if you want food from me. Do one!”

The court heard that in his police interview, Gardiner told officers:” Muslims are taking over and that they hate Christians.”

Asked what he would do if a Muslim came to his burger van, he replied: “I’d give them a bacon butty and laugh.”

Asked if he had strong views about Muslims, he replied: “I have strong views about Islam.”

Gardiner was fined £127 and ordered to pay costs and compensation of £700.

Not quite, Mahou Shoujo, the Brits who count aren’t actually that simple or stupid. They’re tolerant but there’s a limit and those who think Britain is theirs are welcome to that naive assumption.

Validation will be required. How many mindless random murderers and rapes, not to mention thefts and other crimes against civilization by muslims will it take to get a reaction?

My sentiments exactly; I was thinking, then I read your words – perfectly stated! JUST HOW MUCH OF WHAT WILL IT TAKE? HOW MANY CHILDREN WILL BE RAPED, HOW MANY MURDERS? HOW MUCH MORE OF YOUR RIGHTS & YOUR COUNTRY ARE YOU GOING TO GIVE THEM? WHEN WILL THOSE BRITISH ‘MEN’ (I KNOW YOU HAVE SOME) STAND UP TO DEFEND THEIR PEOPLE & GIVE A FUTURE TO THEIR CHILDREN? HOW MANY MORE “NOGO” ZONES? Ah, this list can be endless!

If you live in Caliphornia you have my sympathies — especially w/Jerry Brown as your governor.

Thanks for the compliment, I wish it were always true.
I’d love to leave Caliphornia, I despise this state. I particularly despise the Bay Area.

BTW, we call Brown ‘Moonbeam’ for a reason; look it up! Don’t forget, we also have to put up with a MULTITUDE of them, including Feinstein, & the rest of S.F. Jimmy Panetta, son of Leon, doesn’t seem too bad; we’ll have to wait & see on that, but I know people in the South Monterey Bay Area who say he’s a real decent, everyday kinda fellow.

I like the way Governor Brown Stripe and the Caliphornia legislature just jacked up gas prices. Did you hear how he referred to Caliphornia taxpayers as deadbeats?

Sorry sgtsnuffy, but you are wrong.
If anything, legislation for freedom of speech started in the UK. The USA constitution and all it stands for is based in English Law such as the Magna Carta, even if it was never so precisely codified as that in the Constitition of the USA.
Tyrannical kings prime ministers, presidents and judges will always regularly abuse that freedom as both countries can witness in present days.

The biggest challenge in the UK is not so much the growth of Islam, its the advance of Islamic protectionism from the authorities that are supposed to protect us, supported by the the most onerous and dangerous PC. Too many individuals in the West just dont understand whats going on and the trend towards make a Muslim friend is of course the ultimate subliminal Jihad.
The internet has tens of thousands of videos evidencing Muslim hatred toward the West yet the perpetrators are never arrested. It is time we fought fire with fire. Any Muslim that offends other cultures, peoples or religion should be reported to the police. And whilst lawyers are crawling over themselves to represent jihadis, a firm whose main aim is to protect so called non believers from Islamic hate crimes, would in a very short time have a waiting list of thousands. The police have to be seen to be impartial; its time they and authority were tested.

We should start a crowd fund to pay the fines of the people persecuted for legitimate opinions, just as that muslim millionaire did paying the fines of the bin bag burka women in France. We need to back people willing and unafraid to voice their opinions.

Michigan was first to take FGM to court. Course it took longer to find non-“people of color” Muslims to arrest.
