This story is making the rounds in the UK, and shows not only the extreme paranoia of British Muslim leaders (especially the radical ones who, like Asghar Bukhari, are in the business of justifying Islamic terrorism), but also their tendency to blame everything on the Jews. Fortunately, Bukhari’s cries that one of his shoes was stolen by British Zionists has been met with mockery and derision, as well it should. (I suspect, however, that the Guardian will go along with the Mossad shoe-stealing theory!)
Bukhari is one of what appears to be about three members of the British Muslim Public Affairs Committee, which appears to be largely an anti-Semitic and pro-radical-Muslim group. The Torygraph says this about it:
The Muslim Public Affairs Committee UK describes itself as a grassroots civil liberties organisation that works to “expose and counter the sinister and toxic anti Muslim narrative that permeates mainstream politics and media”. It has been accused of being an extremist and anti-Semitic militant body and is banned from many universities as a hate group.
My friend Malgorzata adds, “This man is a spokesman for Muslim community, respected by British authorities as a very moderate Muslim, a constant guest on BBC. His words are treated by Guardian as gospel.”
Bukhari is a nasty piece of work. Here’s a video of him on Sky News in January, basically claiming that the murdered Charlie Hebdo workers were asking for it, and that that attack, as with many others, are the result of Western colonialism. His critic on the big screen is the British writer Douglas Murray:
But then he lost a shoe. . . Three days ago Bukhari put up this Facebook post decrying the lost footwear, and blaming it on “Zionists”:
And then he issued a video limning, at tedious length, the Mossad Theory of Footwear Theft:
This man is one neuron shy of a synapse. Why does the British journalistic establishment take him seriously?
I’ve realized, though, that one thing Tw*tter is good for is mockery, as in the case of #distractinglysexy and l’affaire Tim Hunt. But now we have the new hashtag site #Mossadstolemyshoe, and here’s a few prize specimens:
