| UK's first Muslim MP quits over death threats | |
| 2007-06-22 | |
A Labour MP has revealed that he is stepping down after getting death threats linked to a gang he helped convict for a racist murder.
Mohammad Sarwar was BritainÂ’s first Muslim MP. He has told party activists he will not be contesting his Glasgow Central seat at the next election. The 54-year-old said his decision came after his family was threatened by a gang linked to racist murderers Imran Shahid, Zeeshan Shahid and Mohammed Faisal Mushtaq. The three were jailed for life last year for their part in the killing of Glasgow teenager Kriss Donald, who was kidnapped, tortured and killed in Glasgow in 2004. Mr Sarwar was instrumental in arranging the extradition of the trio after they fled to Pakistan. | |

| #7 Their crime was one of unmitigated cruelty and brutality, which is to say, typically Islamic. Right, Zenster ! When performing an Islamic sacrament, one must follow at least the minimal requirements for blood and pain. |

| #6 All I want to hear about is how Imran Shahid, Zeeshan Shahid and Mohammed Faisal Mushtaq have perished mysteriously whilst inside prison. May they be served polonium sandwiches twice a day, with no access to medical care. |

The relatives of these brutal murderers feel obliged to threaten a fellow Muslim—no less!—because that person saw justice done according to the rules of his host country. We'll disregard for now how these same thugs would be howling for blood if their own relatives had gotten bludgeoned by some soccer hooligans.

| #4 Next step -- his neighbors are going to complain that they don't feel safe living near him, and demand that he move. |

| #2 So he quit over threats from other Muzzies - what a surprise. And they are no doubt very credible threats. Will the PC Socialist authorities DO anything about the threateners? One doubts it - because of fear, or not wanting to 'offend.' Some Muslims, like Sarwar, seem to have positive influences on Western society. Sadly way too many more have the opposite effect. |
