Theresa May thinks that Islam is compatible with Human Rights – stated in her speech following the terrorist attack at London Bridge and Borough Market. Read the transcript.
She criticises those who know they are incompatible, rejecting the clear evidence. An important purpose of UKIP, beyond Brexit, is to force politicians to stop deceiving us regarding Islam. Thus we must put in the effort to read the source material and collate the evidence. Everyone in UKIP should read at least chapter 9 of the Koran, understand the terms “abrogation” and “taqiyya”, and watch the videos and read the writings of scholars such as Robert Spencer, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, and Douglas Murray.
Source documents are the Koran, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), and the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). The Declaration and the Convention have a similar core set of Articles, however the ECHR addresses an apparent anomaly in the UDHR. The ECHR has numerous Articles relating to the functioning of the European Court of Human Rights, which are irrelevant for us when we have our own Bill of Rights.
The thirty clauses of the UDHR do embody what we should aspire to, for the whole world. Below are examples where the Koran is incompatible with it. This is not a complete list, however it does show the severity of the problem and that Theresa May is utterly mistaken.
UDHR Article 1 states that we should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood. Islam, when it can, subjugates non-believers as second class citizens, who exist in a state of Dhimmitude and pay the Jizya tax as a sign of inferiority. Koran 9:29.
Article 2 states that everyone is entitled to these rights irrespective of who they are. Under Islam women are regarded as the property of men, either her father or husband. The husband determines what she does, and how many children she has. Koran 2:223.
Article 3. “Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of person.” Not in Islam. Koran 9:5.
Article 4 opposes slavery. Koran 4:24 allows a Muslim man to keep female captives as sex slaves. ISIS does so. Grooming gangs own girls by hooking them on drink and drugs.
Article 5 disallows cruel and inhuman punishment. Koran 5:33 mandates cutting off hands and feet on opposite sides.
Article 6: “Everyone has the right to recognition everywhere as a person before the law.” Under Sharia Law the testimony of women is half that of a man, with grave miscarriages of justice – a rapist can accuse his victim of seducing him, and he is let off while she may be stoned to death for adultery.
Article 7 states that all are equal before the law. Sharia Law: the inheritance of a woman is half that of a man. Koran 4:11 Sharia Councils in the UK have de facto jurisdiction regarding family matters and inheritance, in contravention of Human Rights. They must be abolished.
Article 16: marriage cannot be coercive. In Muslim community there can be huge pressure to marry. Marriage between first cousins is explicitly allowed, Koran 33:50, producing thirteen times the cases of recessive genetic disorders compared to the non-Muslim population. Islam seriously harms Muslims themselves. UKIP must campaign against this – Marriage between first cousins must be outlawed.
Article 18 states that there must be freedom of religion, and freedom to change religion. Islam is incompatible, there is the death penalty for apostasy, Koran 4:89, Koran 9:11-12, etc.. A Saudi citizen has been sentenced to death for ripping up the Koran.
Article 19 states that we must have freedom of opinion, and freedom to express it. Islam abjures freedom, witness the fatwa against Salman Rushdie. Attacks on cartoonists have de facto created the death penalty for blasphemy. The UK has prevented the scholar Robert Spencer from entering, breaching this Article.
There are numerous incompatibilities between Islam and Human Rights. These few examples are sufficient to prove that politicians such as Theresa May are mistaken. She must know this. Why the attempt to deceive us? We are not stupid!
The UDHR has a flaw – it tacitly assumes all Articles are of equal weight. However the right to freedom of religion is incompatible with other rights, where that religion is Islam.
ECHR Article 9 recognises the problem:
“Freedom of thought, conscience and religion
- Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion; this right includes freedom to change his religion or belief and freedom, either alone or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest his religion or belief, in worship, teaching, practice and observance.
- Freedom to manifest one’s religion or beliefs shall be subject only to such limitations as are prescribed by law and are necessary in a democratic society in the interests of public safety, for the protection of public order, health or morals, or for the protection of the rights and freedoms of others.”
Islam is incompatible with democratic societies – laws of Allah are regarded as superior to man-made laws. Islam is contrary to public safety – killing infidels is mandated in the Koran. It contravenes public order – Muslims carrying placards inciting murder are not arrested. Islam is contrary to health – marriage between first cousins is allowed in the Koran. Islam is contrary to morals – it is immoral to slit the throat of an animal without pre-stunning. Islam will utterly destroy our rights and freedoms when it can do so, in the latter half of this century if demographic trends continue.
Translations of the Koran into English are freely available online. Read verses in the context of the verses around them. All should understand Islam. There is no excuse not to – the Koran is freely available, as are the websites and videos of established scholars. Tackling Islam is the next challenge.
If UKIP is to have a meaningful future beyond Brexit it cannot behave as other parties do. It must be honest, decent, and bold. The freedoms we have inherited are easily lost. It is our duty to pass these on to the next generation. We cannot abandon them into a condition of Dhimmitude.

Reference Geoffrey, 7.8.17. “The reason why Ann M-W was not allowed to stand (by the Party) in Lewisham East was that she called Islam ‘evil’”. Is that not at all dissimilar to what the current interim Leader accused it of being the day after he was appointed? i.e. ‘Death Cult’
Roger, yes, very similar.
I was told from a young age: “speak the truth and shame the devil”
Those who have the courage to speak the truth are to be applauded. Unfortunately the spirit of the age which we live in would rather censor the uncomfortable truth.

I have noticed that the links to the Koran, which was hosted by the University of Leeds, are broken.
A set of parallel translations are available here:

Islam’s contribution to human rights is best appreciated when viewed against the backdrop of world history as well as the realities of modern times. Social, racial, gender, and religious inequities continue to exist.
Well said, Paul.
If we lose free speech, and it is under serious attack, then we can kiss goodbye to democracy and western civilisation.
A very knowledgeable and balanced article.
However, Hugo is probably more analytical about Islam than are (making up the following statistic, something I do only 0.14% of the time) **95+% of people** who self-describe as being Muslim.
Most just use the bits of Islam they like, try to ignore the rest, and get on with their day to day lives. Human nature remains the same.
We’re having “interesting times” in London, alas, so I can’t do this justice.
Space reserved below for the usual suspects to assert I am a “dhimmi”, gullible etc.
Thankyou Freddy for the encouraging comment.
I think that you and I are broadly in agreement, although you are more optimistic than I am.
Good luck trying to sort things out in London!
These are excellent points. The word count limit for articles is strict, and it was a challenge to shrink it down to the required size without losing coherence.
Discussing the Cairo Declaration, United Nations, and attempts at introducing worldwide anti-blasphemy laws would easily fill an article. Are you able to give it a go?
Geoffrey
These videos are atrocious. I don’t think I will ever be able to walk past another muslim without wanting to do the same to them.
They are vermin who should all be exterminated.
Sorry, I have just run out of words and am in tears now.
Regards
Martin, thankyou for the encouragement. The difficulty is condensing the key points to fit within the word limit.
Decent people have left the party due to problems at the top. With the right leadership direction they would return.
There is an extraordinary level of propaganda against those who stand up and tell the awful truth about Islam.
I have colleagues who really think that Tommy Robinson is as bad as the Islamic terrorists! It is hard work arguing with such brainwashed individuals. They prefer comfortable lies about Islam rather than the painful truth. I cannot see what will make them snap out of their stupor.
Wellios. Excellent post. A policy of offering the people referendums would get strong support from the voters. Energise the party. Unsettle the mainstream parties. Direct democracy for the voters. I like this idea.
We will have to ask the candidates whether they will adopt this policy. Any candidate having this policy would probably become the frontrunner.
Indeed, and I would be ready to go out on another leaflet delivery run for a referendum on any of these!
Offering referendums on major decisions for the country was a UKIP policy for many years, along with a moratorium on all immigration for 5 years not sure if it still is.
On Marxism, as an activist over the subject of postmodernist-Marxism I believe this is a subject of great interest to many who hate this ideology. UKIPDaily published an article on this: http://www.ukipdaily.com/suggestions-ukip-alliance/
Liberas – off topic, I do apologize, I only read your message today, about following me on Twitter …[email protected]_deirdre is where you’ll find me! You may wish you hadn’t ! But you are most welcome (there are often dogs wanting homes involved, among other topics!)
Thanks Brenda – I buy Aberdeen Angus meat in Waitrose, but never thought to check about Halal – assumed it was slaughtered in Scotland. I never buy lamb, but I know their NZ lamb is Halal. However, I have checked their chocolate isn’t!!
Also, the ECHR has openly declared Sharia incompatible with human rights in the case of Refah Partisi v Turkey as long ago as 2003. As the Court later stated in its Annual Report, the Court…” carried out a thorough examination of the relationship between the Convention, democracy, political parties and religion, and found that a sharia-based regime was incompatible with the Convention, in particular, as regards the rules of criminal law and procedure, the place given to women in the legal order and its interference in all spheres of private and public life in accordance with religious precepts”
I am presently reading ‘Mohammed’s koran’ why Muslim’s kill for Islam by Peter McLoughlin and Tommy Robinson. Available now from Amazon. I would recommend this book for its introduction and for reorganising the chapters of the koran into their correct order so that it becomes possible to see that the later verses, written after mohammeds flight to Medina are violent, and replace the more peaceful verses written earlier in Mecca.
Islam is clearly the religion of war and slavery and our recent political attempt to re-brand it as ‘the religion of peace’ betrays us all.
Islam is a clear and present threat to our very existence as the country that Cromwell and our recent forebears fought wars for.
It needs to be outlawed and those who insist on following it removed. Live in our country live by our rules.
Some hope that the present crop of carpetbaggers in government will do the necessary. For a start we should boycott all the businesses of the invader.
Small point but we all do business with “the invader” when we buy from any halal-accredited business. (Here I could do with a Robert Kimbell to list them all. But there are many)
Hugo, thank you.
Richard, the lawyers do seem over zealous on occasion, which brings the system of Human Rights into disrepute.
I would be interested in your thoughts specifically on the UDHR: are there any Articles which you disagree with?
Richard, if I am understanding you correctly – if democracy was working as it should then these Human Rights would be superfluous. Any legislation which was to the detriment of the voters would, in time, be changed to be more beneficial.
However our democracy has been undermined by Brussels and by having parallel legal systems such as Sharia (and Beth Din). Pragmatically we must use whatever tools are available to us today, if we wait for the ideal conditions we could be waiting a long time.
Good article.
I imagine Theresa May must be being paid some handsome incomes to declare such idiotic ideas as islam being compatible with human rights. It puzzles me how she can possibly have this on her conscience, since she claims to be Christian. Thus she must be acting under instructions from string-pullers higher up the chain.

Liz, I have done some research, but cannot find, nor prepared to pay the magic 1,300 uS dollars bandied about.
I think I have found a Jerman version. Needs a member of the family to confirm.
So do tell, where can I get a copy at sensible cost?
Or has it gone down the me . . . ?
