Zakeel Abbas
THIS is Zakeel Abbas. His lupine facial fuzz and silly garb marks him out as rug-butter with strong fundamentalist leanings.
Last year, he wailed that he was being “victimised for his religious beliefs” after an anti-terror raid was made on his home in Burton, near Luton in Bedfordshire.
No charges were brought after police carried out searches at his home, and those of three friends.
The police were looking for clues to connect them with extremist posters which tainted an Easter Sunday parade to celebrate the “Prophet” Mo’s birthday.
The posters displayed slogans about Islam’s “supremacy” and urged attacks on non-believers, as well as Rome and the White House.
The group, in this report, said they felt “targeted, victimised and demonised” by the police and slammed the investigation as a “waste of taxpayer’s money”.
Fast forward to May 5, 2009, and Abbas is spotted among a group of Islamic knuckle-heads screaming his pious tits off during a protest against a parade of British soldiers returning from Iraq.
The group greeted the soldiers with a barrage of abuse, holding signs declaring them “murderers” and “baby killers”.
The protesters — who then had to be protected by police from being attacked by supporters of Anglian Regiment soldiers — made national headlines and were greeted with abhorrence and disgust by the majority of the UK Muslim community.
Abbas denied he was among the fanatics – until photographic evidence was produced. He then admitted taking part but defended his involvement, claiming there was a “campaign against Islam” by police, the media and the Government.
He said:
I was invited to a meeting about the atrocities committed against innocent Iraqis, including the children who have been killed during the war. If a Muslim is attacked in any way, shape or form, we have the right to defend ourselves. We are all part of the nation of Islam. It was a completely peaceful demonstration and I went along to show my support for all the Muslims butchered in Iraq and Afghanistan.
I do not believe I have any extremist views, I follow a ’middle path’ in terms of my Muslim beliefs.
The werewolf of Burton in full cry
In this report, Abbas denied his behavious had fuelled tension between whites and Asians in Burton – even though the Luton protest has been blamed for heightening racial tensions in the Bedfordshire town and sparked retaliatory marches and protests against the extremists, which led to breakouts of violence, arrests and rumours of infiltration by extreme right-wing groups. He believes notions of hatred between ethnic groups are:
Invented and perpetuated by the media.
Abbas’ actions were condemned by East Staffordshire Racial Equality Council director Amir Kabal:
I can’t condone that protest — it was quite terrible. Soldiers are putting their lives at risk for the country and to go and ruin a parade celebrating what they do is disgraceful. Any individual using religion to promote hate is doing something unacceptable. It’s the politicians who made the decision to go to war and you can’t blame the soldiers for that.

Don't you get the impression he would be a lot happier if he got laid?

He would get laid more readily if he didn't resemble Demis Roussos.

If this "Campaign against Islam" that he talks about really existed, he would already have found himself face down somewhere in Sandland with a big boot print on his arse.

If he belongs to the "Nation of Islam", then he should just fuck off to Islam-land where he belongs, and leave the rest of us in peace!
By the way, didn`t I see him in "Curse of the Werewolf"?

"If a Muslim is attacked in any way, shape or form, we have the right to defend ourselves"
How touching. Are we to infer from this that he supports the rights of ordinary Iranians, Saudis, Afghans etc. who are being oppressed, or does he only get exercised when kuffars & kikes can be blamed rather than when the oppression is carried out by theocrats?
The fuckwits who talk about Muslims being oppressed couldn't care less about the fate of rank & file women, homosexuals, free thinkers etc. who have to live under theocracy, they just resent the fact that there are still people who won't let their own mindless assertions go unchallenged.
July 11th, 2009 at 9:21 pm
Too right, asquith. These religious liars do not need to think, to read critically because they know alreadya. They want a theocracy where they call all the shots. And if that includes keeping women as slaves and mutilating the genitals of baby girls then that is all part of their power game. Oppressed? I'll give you oppression and bias – Murphy O'Fuckwit, ever welcome on Thought for the Day, is now named as a possible member of the House of Lords despite saying that atheists are not fully human. Is that not actionable as stirring up racist/religious hatred? Course not. Atheists don't count.

But I thought it was the Christians who were being persecuted in modern-day Britain, Broga. I seem to have got hold of the wrong end of the stick again!

Well he IS another religius nutter, I`m afraid! Aphrodite`s Child had albums called "End of the World" and "666"!!

I've got 666. Some good tracks on there but some dross too I'm afraid
July 13th, 2009 at 1:53 pm
I`m sort of afraid to admit to knowing anything about artists from that era – it does date you a bit! I even find myself saying: "There aren`t the singers around that there were in MY day", which is, of course, exactly what my father used to say!!

"I was invited to a meeting about the atrocities committed against innocent Iraqis, including the children who have been killed during the war."
The majority of whom were killed by muslim suicide bombers. It's funny how they miss that isn't it? They like to use any old excuse to cry "oppression!", but they hate the truth!! It's also funny how they don't complain about atrocities committed against muslims and others during the day to day running of the nation of islam; beheadings, limbs hacked off, stoning to death, torture, rape, paedophilia… the list of crimes against humanity goes on and on and on…..

Come on barrie!! The sixties and early seventies were brilliant times for music! I like lots of newer stuff too but there was some fantastic music around in those days. I was just listening to Sabbath Bloody Sabbath yesterday (it was Sunday after all and I do like to keep the Sabbath). Excellent!!! What about Zeppelin, all the jazz rock and progressive rock, bands like Soft Machine, Focus etc etc. They don't do rock like they used to anymore

I wish this campaign did exist!!

You obviously have much more progresive tastes to mine, Godless! I used to like Abba and Boney M, and my favourites were probably The Seekers. Every time I hear Judith Durham start to sing the hairs on the back of my neck stand up!!
July 13th, 2009 at 2:15 pm
Agreed barrie! He should fuck off and take all the rest of the koranimals with him! Gove us all some peace!

Well said!

Hmm. Well barrie, each to his (or her) own. Musical taste is very personal and, with a few notible exceptions, no one can really criticise anyone for what they like. I like a fairly wide range of music and there are probably a few surprizes in there. Basically, if I like it, I like it.

P.S. I did try not to say this but… BONEY -M!!! FFS!!!

Yes, and I was also fond of the later group Milli Vanilli, and played their tapes a lot when I still had a cassette player in my car! They were another product of the infamous Frank Farian, though we didn`t realize it at the time. THEY were complete fakes, whereas Boney M were only partly fakes. ( It was a bit like vanity publishing really, as poor old Frank didn`t have what it took to front a group!!). We were told at the time that Rob Pilatus had committed suicide over it all, but I see that they are now saying that he "accidentally overdosed on prescription drugs." Whatever the case it completely destroyed his life. Very sad!
