'Anti-Muslim hate crime' faked? Telegraph London Editor Andrew Gilligan certainly thinks it might have been

Andrew Gilligan voices his suspicions in the article below. It wouldn’t be the first time Muslims had staged a ‘hate crime’, by any means:

On the night of 19 July, a severed pig’s head was left on the railings of the North London Central Mosque, in Finsbury Park. It appears to have been a serious racist attack – pork is of course forbidden to Muslims – and it reportedly caused great offence to worshippers who discovered it when they arrived for early morning prayers. But some aspects of the mosque’s response to the incident have raised questions.

As I’ve reported, one of the mosque’s own former trustees, the Muslim Labour MP Khalid Mahmood, has asked the Home Secretary to investigate whether the mosque hosted the key al-Qaeda spiritual leader, Anwar al-Awlaki, and the alleged Detroit plane bomber, Farouk Abdulmutallab. The mosque fiercely denies it. The story first emerged in a post on the Spectator’s Coffee House blog on July 19 – the same day as the pig’s head incident.

The mosque seized on the timing. In a press release, it explicitly linked the pig’s head incident to the Spectator blog post and Mr Mahmood’s intervention. It also blamed Mr Mahmood for the attack in the local paper, the Islington Gazette.

Something about that rang alarm bells with me. It turns out that the blog was only published by the Spectator at 8.49pm on the night of the 19th. Do racists of the kind who would carry out such an attack obsessively read the Spectator blog? Could they have been so outraged by this relatively obscure and moderately-worded post that they immediately decided to rush out and attack the mosque? And how did they managed to get hold of a pig’s head in a few hours at 9pm?

Police sources tell me that there definitely was a pig’s head – it was recovered by their officers – and there is also some CCTV footage of two men carrying something and walking towards the premises, although it is too poor quality to show anything much. It doesn’t show anyone putting anything on the railings.

As of last week, no-one has been arrested and there has been no response to their appeals for information about anyone seen with, or buying, a pig’s head.

The police do believe a crime took place – and no-one should minimise its seriousness – but they do not appear to connect it to the Mahmood criticism. Who actually placed that pig’s head there? And has the mosque been spinning, just a little?

Would British Muslims really go so far as to stage a hate crime? You may be surprised to learn that this is already established practice in the steadily-Islamising US. A couple of years ago, a student at Elmhurst College in Illinois, Safia Jilani, told police that a masked man had pistol-whipped her and written the words ‘Kill the Muslims’ on a mirror in her room.

The campus went into full lockdown and quickly filled with police officers and detectives. Hundreds of students held a demonstration to protest against the vicious ‘hate crime’.

Ultimately, though, the culprit was apprehended. It was Safia Jilani herself – she had fabricated the whole story. There have been several similar cases in America in the last few years.

Muslim ‘advocacy group’ CAIR (actually a rather shady Hamas-linked outfit, but despite that fact they are afforded a somewhat hushed credulity by the US media) publishes a report on hate crimes that still features long-discovered hoaxes.

More examples here and here.

With lying an institutionalised and accepted part of the Islamic Jihad (see Taqiyya, Kitman and Hudna in our Lexicon of Jihad), it can only be a matter of time before this duplicitous behaviour (which in itself is a hate crime against non-Muslims in our view), is repeated here.

We shall of course wait and see how this case unfolds before commenting further. In the meantime, though, question everything you see and everything you read. Especially when Muslims, arguably the most pandered-to, protected and indulged group in Britain (and throughout much of the developed world), cry ‘Islamophobia!’, or ‘Hate Crime!’.

That’s when you know you need to start digging and asking uncomfortable questions.
