First she claimed that there was no proof that ISIS existed, which indicated that she was in total denial about the jihad threat. Now she is working to keep children from becoming jihadis. How can she, when she doesn’t even think they exist, and when she would clearly deny that Islam inspires anyone to become jihadis in the first place? This is yet another indication of how deranged Britain has become.
“Labour councillor who was forced to resign as a school governor after saying there was ‘no proof’ ISIS exists is now working to protect children from radicalisation,” by Martin Robinson, Mailonline, June 20, 2018:
A Labour councillor suspended as a school governor after claiming there was ‘no proof’ that ISIS exists has won a key council role – helping protect the city’s children from radicalisation.

Safia Akhtar Noor had also previously posted on Facebook that people should ‘grow up and stop pointing fingers’ after the Westminster terror attack which left five dead.
She was suspended as a governor by Yew Tree Community School in Witton, Birmingham, which said her statements had breached its code of conduct – and later resigned her role of governor.
Yet despite the controversy sparked by her comments, the law student was allowed by Labour to stand in May’s local elections, where she won a seat for Small Heath.
She is known as Councillor Akhtar in municipal circles, and in Birmingham City Council papers.
Now, it has been revealed Cllr Akhtar has been appointed to the Children’s Social Care Overview and Scrutiny Committee.
Alex Yip, Conservative councillor for Sutton Wylde Green, questioned her selection to the committee, which will include ensuring that children are protected from radicalisation.
Cllr Yip said: ‘It is shocking to think that the Labour administration would appoint Councillor Akhtar, of all the ones available, to this scrutiny committee.
‘Although she has apologised for saying they [her social media postings] should have been worded more carefully, they still represent her views.
‘Considering that the school at which she was a governor suspended her, saying her comments breached its code of conduct, it beggars belief that Labour think it appropriate for her to oversee safeguarding of children, including protecting them from the threat of radicalisation.’
She suspended as a school governor after this message claiming there was ‘no proof’ that ISIS exists has won a key council role helping protect the city’s children from radicalisation.
Safia Akhtar Noor sparked controversy when she posted on Facebook that people should ‘grow up and stop pointing fingers’ after the Westminster terror attack which left five dead.
In another message posted in March last year, Ms Noor said: ‘So someone got stabbed after the attack last week as a result of media and government claiming that SO CALLED ISIS HAD CLAIMED RESPONSIBILITY.
‘There is no ISIS and there is no proof.’
She later apologised for her comments but was suspended as a school governor and later forced to resign.
Despite the controversy, the law student was allowed by Labour to stand in May’s local elections, where she won a seat.
Now she has been given the role of working to protect children from radicalisation by the council.
On March 22 last year, Birmingham terrorist Khalid Masood mowed down innocent victims on Westminster Bridge, killing four, before stabbing police officer Keith Palmer to death.
On the same day Cllr Akhtar – who was not a councillor at the time – posted on Facebook: ‘Can people relax and stop fighting on Facebook?
‘Sadly people died in Westminster today but people die everyday in Syria, Palestine, Africa, Rohingya, Kashmir.. Need I carry on?!!
‘Grow up and stop pointing fingers!’
In another message posted the same day only to her followers, Ms Noor said: ‘Terrorist attack… and even the terrorist died?! Let me guess, he was a Muslim!’
On March 27 last year, she commented on a newspaper article which carried the headline ‘Westminster attacker Khalid Masood had interest in Jihad – police’.
Cllr Akhtar posted to her followers: ‘So someone got stabbed after the attack last week as a result of media and government claiming that SO CALLED ISIS HAD CLAIMED RESPONSIBILITY.
‘There is no ISIS and there is no proof.’…
But Birmingham Labour Group Party secretary, Councillor Martin Straker-Welds, said: ‘The Labour Party undertook a preliminary investigation that revealed not only that the posts had been removed very shortly after being posted but that Ms. Akhtar had also issued a statement where she offered an unreserved apology and condemned all terrorist acts.

This story is another sad reflection upon a formally honest and loyal socialist party representing the interests of the white working British man selling such people out to curry favour with Islamic Pakistani immigrants and their descendants.
The white working class British can now be sure who was responsible for “looking the wrong way” when the capture and gang rape of their daughters was going down. The Paki MP Naz Shah was confident enough to state that the white young girl victims of grooming gangs should “shut their mouths for the sake of diversity”.
It seems all socialists have this malevolent “blind spot” when in authority which induces in too many of them a belief that their “virtue signalling” counts for more than responsible thoughtful behavior in public office. Of course the Democrats in America are cut from the same political cloth so you know who you’re going to get as a neighbour if you vote for them.
Last week in a public park at Small Heath, an estimated 140,000 muslims celebrated the end of ramadamadingdong. Last year it was an estimated 80,000. I don’t know if the police anti terror chiefs in that great city have made the connection yet with what local politicians are involved in, but it’s NOT healthy.
C’mon Poppey’ when was labour an honest loyal socialist party?
They are no more than watered down communists that have a history of colluding with communist Russia and undermining their own country.
I could never trust them even though I did vote for them a couple of times due only to my hatred of Thatcher and the Tory’s. If CorBin is successful I can truly see civil war breaking out as they would bow to all minority’s especially islam while making the indigenous white Britons 3rd class citizens in their own once sacred land.
And if you are a Brummy then forgive me for saying (that great city) that Birmingham is now paki central and a total embarrassment to Britain.
It’s disgusting what the labour scumbag mp Nazi Shah said about the muzrat rape gangs but I see the Conservative party turned a similar bling eye.
Apart from the few good eggs left within UKIP I see them as finished and my hope is that FOR BRITAIN will grow and succeed. What a fkn mess of a country we’ve got!
Cheers.
It is definitely this evil cult that brings about madness. Why else would anyone want to commit mass murder on the words of a madman.
To Quote Churchill:
Islam in a man is like Rabies in a dog.
PROSCRIBE ISLAM and end the madness before it gets worse!
Unfortunately, like Chamberlain said of the Nazis, the politicians, media and leftists all proclaim that peace is in our time. And, like Chamberlain, all the above are dead wrong.
We all know that Chamberlain was a wanker and I really don’t know when we will have peace. All I do know is that we have a massive fight on our hands and the only way we can win permanent peace is by proscribing Islam. A total ban and nothing less or it will creep back again like the cancer it is.
Banning Islam is not impossible with the will of the nation behind you. Spain managed to expel the muslim invaders that had been there for 300 years or so, sucking the life out of that country. We should use Spain as a template and the inquisition to make sure they don’t infiltrate back in. This is a life or death struggle and it’s only just hotting up.
I don’t support evils such as Inquisitions, but on the other hand, I don’t think we need 300 years of torture to raise up and kick åśś. I’m not willing to sit still for long here.
Enough people need to come to the realization that Islam is not a religion. It is first and foremost a political ideology. The “religious” element is only there to identify who are loyal to the ideology and to kill those who defect away from the ideology. Even in the US, there is freedom of religion but not freedom to spread sedition.
Actually, did you read the two different comments…one is no isis here, the other bet he is a muslim…she is twisted beyond words, so schizo! (But that’s what that ideology does to people, hope she doesn’t have children…)

Did the writer have to come up with a certain number of words…too much repeat of the same info in their article…
Some surprisingly simple things aren’t learned easily unless they are repeated.

Remember that muslims lie. When they say they are “against” something, be well aware that they will support it with everything they can – lies, misdirection, under the table deals, anything to get their way.

The most scary part is not that she says such blatant lies, but that many of our own people might be inclined to believe them. Never wonder how unbalanced liberalism can be.
