More tunnel-visioned dogma-drunk hate-mongering for your enlightenment.
University of Plymouth Islamic Society
ATTENTION ALL STUDENTS!! …… MASS DEMONSTRATION ALERT!
The university has decided NOT to listen to the concerns of hundreds of it’s British & international students regarding banning the Quilliam Foundation event this Wednesday!
Maajid Nawaz (the chairman of QF) has recently posted offensive cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad and Jesus (peace be upon them) from a comic strip called “Jesus and Mo” which features them drinking at the bar, in bed together and other filthy behaviors. This is as offensive, if not more than the Denmark cartoons which caused a worldwide response in 2005. The Chaplaincy have invited Usama Hasan a senior lecturer who is due to speak at PLYMOUTH UNIVERSITY THIS WEDNESDAY has shown support for Maajid Nawaz’s actions.
We are calling upon ALL STUDENTS to join us to demonstrate against QF:
WHEN? THIS WEDNESDAY 29th JAN
TIME? 6:15PM
WHERE? ROLAND LEVINSKY BUILDING (outside the entrance opposite the library)PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD TO EVERYONE
FOR MORE DETAILS SEE https://www.facebook.com/events/1472832456277722/?ref=22
So we go to the linked Event page.
Join us in protesting and leafleting against the Quilliam Foundation appearing at Plymouth University. The Quilliam Foundation have been invited to speak and we strongly object. The QF founder tweeted on 12th January offensive caricatures of the Prophets Mohammed and Isa (Jesus), peace be upon them. They claim to be a moderate Muslim group but have welcomed right wing extremist Tommy Robinson and Steve Carroll from the racist English Defence League. QF is a think tank that has received over £1million from the government. In return they have provided lists to the govt of alleged extremist sympathisers which included the Muslim Council of Britain, the Muslim Safety Forum and even the Islam Channel.
We do not want the QF in Plymouth, they are a danger to community cohesion and peaceful relationships that exist here between the mainstream Muslim as well as diverse communities. We urge you to turn up and help us protest and leaflet to let people know what QF really stand for which is fuelling Islamaphobia and harming community relationships, and that they are not welcome here in Plymouth.
This event has been organised by both local Muslims and non Muslims.
It’s this kind of thing that fuels “Islamophobia,” not the kind of thing Quilliam does.
Pierce R. Butler says
This came out of a British university?!?
Where are the Apostrophe Police when we need them?
Ophelia Benson says
Well it’s a student group. And…probably not the very best students at the place.
Pierce R. Butler says
Scramble the Syntax Squad too!
Is there any truth to the allegations about Quilliam pointing fingers for the benefit of Queen’sland Security?
Shatterface says
This is as offensive, if not more than the Denmark cartoons which caused a worldwide response in 2005.
More offensive because they have Jesus and Mo saying hello to each other instead of Mohammed blowing things up?
Bruce says
I think it had something to do with “filthy behaviors”, that makes J&M worse than 2005, Shatterface. Because we all know how Plymouth ISoc hate bigotry… and men who sleep in the same bed.
freemage says
The line Shatterface quotes jumped out at me, too. It makes it utterly clear where this particular Muslim group is coming from–the terrorists, the Islamists and the haters of liberty in all forms.
stewart says
They want offensive? We’ll give them offensive:

Sili says
Demonstrate? Like … exercising freedom of opinion? Free speech? Me no unnerstan.
rnilsson says
So these are the TRUE Plymouth Brothers, then? With bells on.
Decker says
We do not want the QF in Plymouth, they are a danger to community cohesion and peaceful relationships that exist here…
That’s the standard islamist threat. Either do as we say or we’ll riot.
Decker says
a comic strip called “Jesus and Mo” which features them drinking at the bar, in bed together and other filthy behaviors.
Surely the university has a gay rights group?
Because the author of this notice is a most certainly a homophobic piece of shit.
