Piss off and Dizaei

As Lee Jasper vanishes, at least temporarily, from public view, an equally obnoxious race hustler may be in for a bit of luck. The Telegraph reports that Metropolitan Police Chief Superintendent, and president of the National Black Police Association, Ali Dizaei, is one of several candidates for promotion to the rank of Commander.
The report also notes that Dizaei "once accused his colleagues of racism". In fact he has done so on at least four separate occasions, and, perhaps in an effort to broaden his repertoire, has also recently accused the Solicitors Regulation Authority of being "institutionally racist". He doesn't exactly have a track record of scrupulous honesty in his accusations, either: last year, he admitted to having libelled both his ex-boss, and another officer, and was obliged to pay "substantial" damages to both men.
His latest allegations against his colleagues were made almost exactly a year ago, when an earlier application for promotion to Commander was rejected. Apparently, Sir Ian Blair fears that Dizaei will cry "racism", should he once again fail to get promoted. Now, what on Earth could have given him that idea?

Even among race hustlers, Dizaei is a particularly unpleasant and dangerous specimen. Unlike the likes of Lee Jasper, he does not remain in the dank recesses of the "race relations" swamp, but slithers into the general public realm to spread his slime. As a senior police officer (his stated ambition is to rise to the rank of chief constable, and if he cries "racism" enough, he just might get there), his decisions and actions can have a direct impact upon the lives of ordinary people, in a way that Jasper's generally cannot. But, Dizaei, just as much as other race hustlers, appears to be motivated by a deep-seated grudge, bordering on hatred, against all white people; like all other race hustlers, he seems to see racist conspiracies everywhere, or at least, everywhere where white people are found. The fact that he has twice admitted to libel suggests that he is rather dishonest, as well. As I have written before, such a man is unfit to wear police uniform at all, let alone the uniform of a senior officer. It is to be hoped that the Met will reject his application for promotion, even if it does mean that he cries "racism" once again. After all, he does it so often, that I doubt anyone really bats an eyelid anymore...

Masters of Nature

Via Jihad Watch, I read that the Iranian government has recently arrested fourteen western Imperialist crusader spies within Iran's borders. Not only that, however, but these are spies with a difference. In particular, they are squirrels!

Yes, squirrels. According to the Islamic Republic News Agency:

The squirrels were carrying spy gear of foreign agencies, and were stopped before they could act, thanks to the alertness of our intelligence services.

So far as I can see, this is no joke.

In fact, it rather reminds me of the recent claims that British troops had released man-eating badgers (!) into the environs of Basra, in an effort to spread panic among the people living there. Which gives rise to the intriguing question, has the animal kingdom thrown its weight behind Western civilisation, in the war with Islam?
Because the only other explanation is that many Muslims are utterly insane, and that couldn't possibly be true, could it?

The latest Islamic conspiracy theory

According to the Iranian newspaper Jomhuri-ye Eslami (The Islamic Republic), Salman Rushdie wrote The Satanic Verses at the request of the Queen, who paid him £500,000 for doing so.

Rather amusingly, the Persian nutters also claim that the knighting of Rushdie

...can be seen as a cover-up to distract the public’s attention from the sexual scandals of royal princes and princesses who are infamous and detested even among the English population, a population who cannot wait for the end of this hated monarch regime which stinks of the Middle Ages.

There's something of the pot casting aspersions on the paleness of the kettle in this, it appears to me. After all, if a popularly-supported and constitutional monarchy "stinks of the Middle Ages" what is the smell of an undemocratic Sharia theocracy?

Racist Conspiracy Theorists

A survey commissioned by the black newspaper, The Voice, has revealed that four times as many black people are worried about crime as about "racism". As well they might be, given such cases as this, this, this, and these, all of which feature the murders of blacks, by blacks.

The fact that far more blacks are concerned about what people within their own community are doing to one another than about the wicked white people is clearly cause for concern for the players of racial politics. After all, the whole basis of their influence, and of their belief system, is the principle that every problem afflicting black people can be attributed to the evil machinations of the white devils. If the number of black people sharing that belief were to decline, then their influence would decline proportionately.

And so, obviously horrified by the tendency of their fellow blacks to be more concerned with actual black crime than with fictional white "racism", the players of racial politics have responded by asserting that, really, black crime and white racism are the same thing. If a black thug stabs someone, the whites made him do it. As Raymond Stephenson, a professional whinger and head of a group called Urban Concepts, put it:

The upsurge in crime is linked to racism and a lack of opportunity for young people, especially in ghetto areas where there may not be any youth clubs and where they are not spending money on us.

"They" are of course the wicked white oppressors.

It's interesting, isn't it, that Stephenson's solution to the problems of black criminality is for white people to give more of their money to blacks. The idea of the black community taking responsibility for its own self-inflicted problems does not occur to him. But, of course, in the minds of the players of racial politics, blacks can never be responsible for anything they do wrong: it's always the white people's fault.

Another professional "anti-racist" who addresses the issue is Herald "Ruggie" Johnson. Johnson is something of an expert on racism, being himself the proud possessor of a conviction for racially-aggravated harassment. Slipping into prose so overwrought as to be almost parodic, he says:

The government and the police need to understand that just like alcoholics you first need to admit your problem before you can change it. You cannot say you will tackle the problem of crime within the black community without recognising the root cause and the way in which the community has been mentally and physically brutalised cumulating in today's Diaspora of people trying to find a place in this post colonial age. The government needs to admit their role in all of this and face up to the real reasons for what is now presented in today's society and not to refer to youth crime as "an isolated problem."

I agree: black criminality is not "an isolated problem". It's caused by a mix of factors, including the "gangsta" culture dominant in black communities, and the collapse in moral standards and traditional values in those communities. And it's perpetuated by people like Ruggie Johnson, who, rather than taking their own advice and acknowledging that, like an alcoholic, they have a problem, persist in propagating their mantra that, whatever happens, the white devils are to blame. People like Johnson, and Raymond Stephenson, are no more than racist conspiracy theorists (imagine a white person attributing to "the Jews" all that Johnson and Co attribute to "the whites"), and I for one am heartily sick of seeing such people given a platform (and a platform commonly described as "anti-racist", forsooth) from which to vilify white people, and blame us for the harm their people are doing to one another.

Muslim blogger: "Fear the Zionist tentacles"

Quite a few bloggers have noticed that if you take the ridiculous Olympic logo, and spin its constituent parts around a bit, you get the word 'Zion'. Like so:

I had not imagined that anyone could possibly take this seriously. But I was wrong. For, up to the plate steps Jamal, author of the Radical Muslim blog, issuer of e-fatwas (including to this blog), and notorious troll. Apparently in all seriousness he writes:

The Zionist tentacles are everywhere. Even the new Olympic logo spells Zion!

Is he trying to joke? I doubt it. I don't think that Muslims are allowed a sense of humour, and, as anyone who has ever taken a serious look at his blog knows, this is pretty much par for the course. I wonder how many of his co-religionists also believe that the logo is evidence of a Zionist conspiracy? Is it more or less than the 24.4% who blame the security services for 7/7?

Update: Jamal has left a comment here, and it appears that no, it is definitely not a joke. Indeed, he has started a petition to have the logo removed.
