| Kilroy-Silk Still Might Be Prosecuted for Inciting Hatred for Moslems |
| 2004-06-05 |
| From The Muslim News Robert Kilroy-Silk âcould still face prosecutionâ over his infamous article in The Sunday Express on January 4, 2004, in which he described Arabs as âsuicide bombers, limb-amputaters, (and) women repressorsâ according to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS). The CPS told Muslim News Online Friday that it was still deciding on whether to charge former BBC presenter for inciting racist hatred in his controversial article that demonised the entire Arab nation. The delay could embarrass Kilroy-Silk, who is now standing as a UK Independence Party (UKIP) candidate to represent the East Midlands in the European elections, on June 10. According to the 2001 Census, the East Midlands has a 28% Muslim population. The Commission for Racial Equality (CRE) referred the article âWe owe Arabs nothingâ to the police to consider whether it incites racial hatred under the Public Order Act. .... The police confirmed that the Racial Violent and Crime Task Force sent a file to the CPS for advice regarding the allegations .... a CPS spokesperson said, âQuite a lot of people are involved in this decision making-process. Theyâll will be looking at the intentions behind the words and the effects of those words, whether it was it inciting racial hatred.â The CPS denied there was any connection between the fact that no decision has been made in 5 months since it received the police file and Kilroy-Silkâs election campaign. The controversial article has already led to the 61-year old presenter lose the weekday chatshow, he hosted for the BBC for the past 18 years. .... |

| #3 Here is a link to Silk's article. While he uses a rather broad brush to tar all Arabs, it is not a hair's breadth wider than the that used by hostile elements in the Middle East to smear Israel and other western nations. At the very least, Silk's comments perfectly embody the ever-growing and impossible-to-ignore rise in public sentiment against militant Islamists and (however disputably) Islam in general. If moderate Muslims are unable to refute the arguments put forth by Silk et al in a ready and highly vocal fashion, they should prepare themselves for the ugly spectacle of watching their religion, its places of worship and general tenets as a whole being dismantled before them. Unlike those who are so quick to seethe and do violence, civilized society is much slower to anger. But, once ired, it will be nigh well impossible to placate until Islam is wiped from the face of this earth. Islam's dearth of recent invention or innovation extends to such conveniences as advanced guided weaponry and global communications. Should these barbaric hoodlums within their midst finally manage to rouse the sleeping dragon of western civilization, this marked lack of facility will prove their undoing as they perish wholesale under the might of modern arms. Quite soon, Islam will find itself on short notice to reform. Such a message has may as well already have been sent, merely in unofficial terms. Official notice will soon follow, or lacking that, private citizens will take it upon themselves to eliminate that which shelters even a scintilla of terror's assets no matter where they may be. |

| #2 Hopefully the CPS is aware of the tone from the mosques from the middle east against all infidels, ie., everyone else outside the muslim world every friday. What Silk commented is nothing, even wrt Britain itself. Don't disgrace yourself CPS. |
