Hate Cleric Raises £3 Million to Create Islamic Homeland on Scottish Island

A hate cleric, commanding his own ‘army’, has raised over £3 million to establish an Islamic homeland on a Scottish island. The Mail has the story.

Sheikh Yasser al-Habib, 45 – who claimed asylum in Britain 20 years ago after fleeing his native Kuwait – and his followers are in advanced talks to buy the remote isle of Torsa, off the west coast of Scotland.

The extremist scholar, who already runs military-style training camps, hopes his organisation can build its own school, hospital and mosque on the island, where it intends to practise sharia law.

In a video encouraging supporters to donate towards their £3.5 million target, the cleric says he will negotiate with the Government to allow Muslims “from all over the world” to be given a visa in order for them to live in their new “homeland”. …

Al-Habib, who is accused of stirring up sectarian hatred in Britain and in the Arab world between Shias and rival Sunni Muslims, has his “global headquarters” in the picturesque village of Fulmer, South Buckinghamshire.

He has been fundraising through his controversial satellite channel Fadak TV, which he has run for several years from a £2 million converted church hall.

Despite repeated warnings from the regulator Ofcom, al-Habib – nicknamed the ‘Mullah of Fulmer’ – has been permitted to continue broadcasting his lectures, spreading hate and inciting violence towards those from the Sunni faith at home and abroad.

The cleric, who preaches only in Arabic, has amassed a huge following among Britain’s 400,000 Shias and millions more across the world.

Now he has set his sights on the uninhabited island of Torsa, in Argyll, where he wants to establish a new ‘homeland’ for his group called the Mahdi [Messiah] Servants Union (MSU).

Torsa, which is one of the Slate Islands, is just over a mile long and has one farmhouse. It is accessible only by private boat from Luing – itself reached via a ferry from the island of Seil, which in turn connects to the mainland via a bridge – and has not been permanently inhabited for more than 50 years. …

Sarah Zaaimi, a Deputy Director for Communications at the American think tank Atlantic Council, who has researched al-Habib, said: “They will have their own army, their own justice system, they will manage their own schools and hospitals, and people from around the world will be able to migrate to this homeland.

“It does challenge the notion of sovereignty. It’s puzzling to me how the U.K. authorities are allowing such a discourse. You are fundraising for the creation of a sovereign country on the margins of another country.”

I thought they were going to take over Wales, if they all moved here they would outnumber us. On another note, has Justin Welby condemned the vile attacks on Christianity, if not, why not. That was rhetorical because we all know the answer, the same answer as why MPs are such failures, because corporations is where the real power lies.

Now there is a solution to illegal immigration.

The threat to UK security is obvious. Foreign unfriendly nations could easily ship arms and men into such a place in small boats at night or from small subs. I do not believe the MoD can monotor at that degree of graininess.

Capt. Yassir Bin Mainwaring: ‘Half a dozen determined armed men in a boat could play havoc with the (Kuffirs) if they got a foothold! Swift, silent patrols, hitting the enemy where it hurts most! Then disappearing into the night, silently cutting through the water. Muffled oars, of course.’

Sgt Moh. Al Wilson: ‘Ya Sheikh, muffled oars…?’

Mainwaring: ‘That’s how Wolfe captured Quebec; rowed up the St Lawrence with muffled oars.’

Wilson: ‘Sidi, what exactly ARE muffled oars?’

Mainwaring: ‘Well… We’ll ask someone about that……We’ll try this boat out after tea this afternoon. I’ll want six volunteers. Detail jundiyys’ Pike, Desmond, Frazer, Jones, Walker and Godfrey.’

Maybe the dinghy arrivals can make a detour to there then. I jest, of course, the place isn’t nearly remote enough ( shame Rwanda fell through ) and I’m pretty sure it’d be more than the Women’s Institute that’d be unhappy about having such people as nearby neighbours. This surely cannot happen in reality can it? Especially with Yousaf no longer in charge…?

On another note, I’m sure this Islamist hate preacher, non-terrorist supporting dude will be safe as houses and left well alone, embarking on his caliphate project, unlike our Tommy Robinson yet again, where organizing a peaceful protest makes you basically a terrorist;

”EMERGENCY ADMIN POST – PLEASE SHARE FAR AND WIDE!!!!

We can confirm that Tommy Robinson has been detained by Police using powers afforded to them under the Terrorism Act 2000.

That’s right, you read that correctly, Tommy is being held by Police using counter terrorism legislation.

We will update you as and when we can.”

He’s been arrested due to him violating an injunction by showing a libelous film yesterday at the London rally. Someone called Lucy Brown has done a long thread on it on Twitter but she’s shared this 9min vid which explains it all. It looks pretty damning for Tommy, to be honest;

”This is the best summary of the Tommy Robinson saga so far.

Yes indeed. As I said, they’re going to carry on milking this for all that it’s worth. I wonder if that officer who was suspended is going to get the same treatment as the Batley teacher, and even if he is reinstated the pressure and protests from the Muslim community will be too great for the ever-appeasing and capitulating authorities ( only in name. They’re Islam’s bitches more than actual ‘authorities’, let’s be real ) and he’ll be threatened and hounded out of his home and have to go into hiding. That would be criminal, but look how society is now with these perma-victims gathering more and more power and influence, nothing would surprise me.
Hey, how was it yesterday in London though? You never said.. 🙂

I would have loved to have gone but I’ve been a bit under the weather of late after a nasty fall in the back garden. Gardens can be dangerous places, ya know! Broken arm and cracked rib. I suppose I would have been arrested for possession of a dangerous object – plaster cast. It’s quite solid!

A bonus has been I’ve lost weight – not just because I haven’t felt like eating – but I’ve had to walk as I can’t drive at the moment. A veritable silver lining to the cloud, indeed. Life could be worse 🙂

That was an Ottoman attack and the Ottomans were late to the party muslims. The Arabs got beaten by Europeans before that, at Tour and Poitiers by the Francs under Charles Martel (‘the hammer’), although modern historians – not entirely unsurprsingly – have started to claim that this didn’t really happen and later, in the course of the so-called Reconquista which finally drove the out of Spain in 1492.

As far as I know, the only shia-controlled muslim country he could go to is Iran and I doubt they want him. For dedicated enemy of Sunni¹ muslims, anything else if off limits.

¹ Islam split into Shia and Sunni early on because of disagreement regarding Muhammad’s succession. The Sunni are those who agree with the choice od people who became the first caliphs, the others those of disagreed with it. Principally, they’re mortal enemies of each other, except insofar pragmatic concerns override this.

So is this what the Scottish National Party is quietly doing to Scotland?

After centuries of complaining about “England & the English”, the Scots are handing over chunks of Scottish territory to the Global Caliphate, without so much as a whimper?

Just as all our previous Members of Parliament allowed other Hostile Alien Millionaires to set up hostile alien military training camps in England, on English land they were allowed to buy.

This is High Treason.

So radical Islamic preaching allows them to buy an island and raise a private army in a sovereign state but its Tommy Robinson that gets arrested under anti terrorism laws by showing a film? The UK is begging for trouble, and they will get it, probably when IS have all their ducks in a row and the numbers to make a difference (which is getting very close now) then it will be too late to for hindsight!

Exactly what I said, Dings. It’s extraordinary what they deem prosecution-worthy isn’t it? Here’s journalist Dave Atherton’s take on things and his quote from Douglas Murray at the end hits the nail on the head. Look at the comparison between how Tommy has and is still being treat versus Muslim thugs, terrorist-supporters and perverts; ”Hi Elon Musk , Tommy has now been charged under the Terrorism Act 2000. Britain is now like Nazi Germany or the Soviet Union. You posed the question, “What did he do that was considered terrorism?” The context is that there are large swathes of the Muslim community that do not, for Islamic & cultural reasons, wish to integrate into British society. Many are openly hostile to western, liberal democracy. Rather than deal with the principal problem of Islamic extremism, the British govt prefers to deal with the secondary reactions to it. Any charismatic leader is pounced on by the state. This is mainly because the Islamist reaction would be violent. One might call it cowardice.
