UK: Out of jail Islamist extremist Anjem Choudary calls for Muslim patrols, instigates Muslims to attack Hindus, asks Hindus to embrace Islam
As Hindus in the United Kingdom continue to live in an atmosphere of fear following the recent attacks by Islamists on Hindus in Leicester City, extremist Anjem Choudary has joined the voices targeting the Hindu minorities in the region. According to a report in Daily Mail, Choudary has come out of his four-year ban on public speaking and over 5-year sentence for inviting support for ISIS. He has allegedly instigated the Muslims against Hindus during recent anti-Hindu attacks in the UK, including Leicester and Birmingham
There was a ban on Anjem Choudary’s public speaking, and restrictions that were imposed on the use of his mobile phone and the internet was lifted recently, and he is now free to spread his hate again. The most recent post on his website that is being circulated heavily among his followers on WhatsApp is ‘Leicester: The Islamic Perspective.‘
The post was published from his East London home in the backdrop of the recent anti-Hindu attacks. In his post, Choudary has called for ‘Muslim patrols’ to be organized in affected areas, i.e., Leicester. He said, “Muslims have a divine obligation to defend themselves, i.e., their fellow men, women, children, and places of worship, etc. In the circumstances, they should form neighbourhood watch schemes (eg, Muslim Patrols) to be able to respond quickly to aid Muslims, counsel them, and help them.”
Anjem Choudary quoted Quran and instigated Muslims to attack Hindus by suggesting to “retaliate” His post noted, “So, if anyone attacks you, retaliate.” Choudary is known for giving such speeches that work as adding fuel to the fire.
It is noteworthy that after Leicester, a Hindu Temple named Durga Bhawan Temple in Smethwick, Birmingham, was also attacked by masked Islamists recently. They organized a not-so-peaceful protest outside the temple in the backdrop of the already-postponed event of Sadhvi Ritambhara. The cancellation of the September 21 event was already announced a week prior to the said protests, and the Islamists were very well aware of it. However, they decided to go ahead and attack the temple. They hurled abuses at the Hindus present inside the temple premises and threatened to attack them.
With the entry of extremists like Choudary, it is possible that the attacks on the Hindu community might spread further in the UK.
Anjem blamed PM Modi for the incidents in Leceister and said, “Upon reflection, the troubles in Leceister are no surprise, as it is the same fascist Hindutva ideology which has led to lynching mobs attacking innocent Muslims in India, sanctioned by Prime Minister Modi. However, Alhamdulillah (praise be to Allah), the Muslim youth in the UK are a growing and strong force which, it is clear, will never remain silent when they see their community under attack.”
Anjem Choudary asked Hindus to convert to Islam
In a recent post on his website, Anjem furthered his propaganda and called upon Hindus to convert to Islam and called it the “only way” of living. In his post, he claimed that Hinduism has no legitimate proof that its Holy texts, including Gita and Vedas, have any connection to the religion itself leading to a division among Hindus.
Anjem Choudary also demeaned the Hindu practices and beliefs such as reincarnation and twisted it to say as if Hindus look down upon individuals with disabilities as punishment for their past deeds. He further asserted that Hindus discriminate against people with dark skin and connect them to evil deeds. Choudary attacked Naga Sadhus and used their appearance to give a negative sense to Hinduism. Furthermore, he claimed that because of the ‘secular’ nature of Hinduism, the religion could not provide a system of life to live under.
He said, “Oh, Hindus! Muhammad bin Qasim (ra) brought Islam to the Indian Subcontinent in the year 715 AD, and indeed many responded to his call…. isn’t it time all the rest responded?” Interestingly, he completely ignored the point that Islamists invaded India, looted the country, killed millions of Hindus, and destroyed temples, universities, and complete cities. This ISIS supporter’s call to convert should be seen as a major threat to Hindus living in the UK.

German antisemitism czar is accused of ‘Jew-hatred’
A German official appointed to confront antisemitism has been himself accused of “Jew-hatred” after he accused the “father of the Israel Defence Forces” of being a “murderer”.
Michael Blume, Baden-Württemberg’s state commissioner for combating antisemitism, accused Major-General Orde Wingate of being a “war criminal” and “British murderer”.
Zionist Wingate is revered in Israel, where he is considered the father of the IDF. Streets and squares are named after him, as well as the national centre for physical education and sports, the Wingate Institute.
Following Blume’s comments, which first appeared on his Twitter account, several leading military, diplomatic and intelligence experts in the UK, the US and Israel have urged the government of Baden-Württemberg to fire him.
Retired British army chief Colonel Richard Kemp, who commanded troops in Afghanistan, said: “Wingate was a highly decorated British officer who was killed fighting for his country in the Second World War and bravely defended Jews in Palestine against murderous Arab gangs in the 1930s.
“He was a committed Zionist, revered as a hero and friend in Israel.
“That is enough to incite hatred from those opposed to Israel and Zionism. Germany, of all of the countries in the world, has a responsibility to fight Jew-hate at every turn and for one of its public officials — whether or not he’s an antisemitism commissioner — to support this sickness is a cause for national disgrace. Herr Blume shames Germany and should resign or be fired.”
Brigadier-General Amir Avivi, founder and CEO of the Israel Defense and Security Forum (IDSF), said: “The late Orde Wingate was a trailblazer and revolutionary military commander whose daring raids and tactics are still studied at military schools around the world.
Wingate fought gallantly against oppressors on at least three continents, and will forever be enshrined in Israeli memory as a hero.”
And former Israeli ambassador to the US Michael Oren, himself a former paratrooper who fought in the 1982 First Lebanon War, said Blume “should resign” for denigrating the British general.
Richard Grenell, the former US acting director of national intelligence during the Trump administration, also called for Blume to quit. “Blume stokes antisemitism and isn’t uniting people.
“He should either resign or be forced to quit.”
Grenell served as ambassador to Germany and is on the Holocaust Memorial Council in Washington.
The Simon Wiesenthal Center classified Blume’s output as the seventh worst outbreak of antisemitism in 2021. In 2019, he liked a Facebook post likening Israelis to Nazis, prompting the Wiesenthal Center’s top Nazi-hunter, Efraim Zuroff, to urge him to resign.
Wiesenthal Center associate dean Rabbi Abraham Cooper said: “Haters of Zionists and Zionism seek to denigrate and demonise our people’s history. Can anyone still question Blume’s antisemitism? Surely German authorities can find someone to be antisemitism czar who is prepared to fight Jew-hatred, not contribute to it.”
And Dan Pollak, director of government relations for the Zionist Organization of America, said: “These quotes by Michael Blume are unacceptable and, together with his other antisemitic actions, clearly require the German state of Baden-Württemberg to remove him from his post as commissioner.
“The ZOA stands against Jew-hatred of all kinds, but it is particularly unacceptable when it comes from a government official whose job it is to fight against antisemitism.”
Pollak, a former US Navy submarine officer, added, “Like so many anti-Zionists, Michael Blume cannot hide his actual agenda of Jew-hatred.
“He should resign or be fired at once.”
Israel’s first prime minister, the late David Ben-Gurion, thought that Wingate might have become the IDF’s first chief of staff, had he not been killed during the Second World War and Sir Winston Churchill said of him: “I had recognised him as a man of genius, and I hoped he might become a man of destiny.”
And the late IDF chief of staff and defence minister Moshe Dayan said of Wingate: “He taught us everything we know.”
Wingate, an officer steeped in the traditions of Christian Zionism, served in Mandatory Palestine from 1936-39. He created and commanded the Special Night Squads – armed groups of British and Hagana volunteers – to fight Arab saboteurs and terrorists. He is buried in the United States Military Cemetery in Arlington, Virginia.
How Civilizations Will Be Decided
by Giulio Meotti
Fewer babies will be born in all of Europe than in Nigeria alone.
In Europe, “at the rate at which things are going, the population will have halved before 2070, with the continent at risk of losing 400 million inhabitants by 2100,” noted James Pomeroy, an economist at China’s HSBC bank.
The growth of the world population has already reached its lowest rate since 1950 and Europe’s population will continue to contract until the end of the century, noted the Financial Times, citing the United Nations World Population Prospects report.
A collateral question is: where?
In the next four minutes 1,000 children will be born: 172 in India, 103 in China, 57 in Nigeria, 47 in Pakistan — but in all of Europe, only 52.
India, next year, is expected to overtake China as the world’s most populous country. India will also be 20% Muslim as well as the world’s largest Islamic community. How will this demographic trend impact the fragile coexistence between Muslims and Hindus?
In 2021, Europe’s population shrank by 1.4 million, the largest decline on any continent since 1950, when these rates were first recorded. Two-thirds of the world’s people live in a country where the fertility rate is below the replacement rate of 2.1 births per woman. China’s population is projected to decline by 6 million per year in the mid-2040s and by 12 million per year by the end of the 2050s, the largest slump ever recorded in a country’s history. China’s population will halve over the next 45 years and it will become a very old country: its GDP will contract as never before and society will have to manage an aging population it never before encountered.
Japan’s unprecedented aging is having a frightening impact on its military. Since 1994, the number of young people between 18 and 26 — the age for recruitment — has been dwindling. Between 1994 and 2015, there was a fall off of 11 million, or 40%. “Japan no longer has people to wage war,” wrote Forbes. For the first time, the Japanese bought more diapers for adults than for babies. The same holds true for South Korea. “The decline in births in South Korea has become a challenge to national security,” the Wall Street Journal reported in 2019.
“[F]ewer young people are around for military service. That is why Seoul officials said that South Korea’s army will shrink to half a million, from the current total of 600,000 by 2022.”
“Taiwan has long lived with the terrifying prospect of an invasion of China, but one of the biggest threats to its security lies from within: the lowest birth rates in the world”, noted the Telegraph. Taiwan today claims the lowest birth rate in the world; by 2050 it will have just 20 million inhabitants, their the average age rising to 57, from 39 today. Taiwan might be so irrelevant that perhaps China will not even have to invade it.
The same downturn is expected in Italy, where the population will reportedly halve in 50 years. This year in Italy, 121,000 fewer students will enter school than last year, and 2,300 classes will disappear. Last year, there were 100,000 fewer students and 196 schools were closed. The previous year, 177 schools were shuttered, and 124 the year before that. Every year Italy loses 1-2% of its pupils. From 7.4 million students (latest available data: 2021), the number will supposedly drop by 2034 to 6 million in “waves” of 110-120,000 fewer students each year. During the last eight years, according to data published by the ministry, 1,301 schools have shut, representing 13.3% of the 9,769 schools that are still active.
This crisis is not a projection, it is happening right now. By 2050, 60% of Italians will have no brothers, sisters, cousins, uncles or aunts. The Italian family, with the father who pours the wine and the mother who serves the pasta to a table of grandparents, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, will be gone, as extinct as dinosaurs.
Yemen, on the other hand, a failed country in the middle of a terrible civil war, will show a population increase that is double Italy’s.
In the north-central African Sahel region, the population is expected to reach 330 million, seven times its population of 2000. Egypt will reach 190 million. Algeriawill go from the current 42 to 72 million (most of whom will likely head for Europe). Morocco will grow from 36 million to 43 million.
So, the “old Europe” will find itself facing a North Africa of 318 million inhabitants, not counting those residing beneath the immense sub-Saharan plateau. In France today, 29.6% of the population aged 0 – 4 is of non-European origin, compared to 17.1% percent aged 18-24. Non-Europeans are also 18.8% percent in those aged 40 -44; 7.6% aged 60-64, and 3.1% for those over 80, according to the national statistics institute, Insee. The institute also recently examined the last three generations in France: 16.2% of all children between the ages of 0- 4 are children or grandchildren of North African origin; 7.3% are from the rest of Africa, and 4% are from Asia.
George Soros’ Open Society Foundation, which provides financial support for immigration to Western countries, disclosed as early as 2011 that in Marseille, the second-largest city in France, “between 30 and 40 percent of the population is Muslim”. It is not difficult to assume that by now, the symbolic threshold of 50% has already been exceeded, even if there are not yet official reports. The monthly Causeur bluntly states: “Well over 50 per cent of the Marseille population is North African and black African”.
Ceuta and Melilla, two Spanish exclaves on the Mediterranean coast of Morocco, form the only land border between the European Union and Africa. In Ceuta, two parallel fences, six meters high and topped with razor wire, run for eight kilometers along the border with Morocco. In Melilla, similar fences run 12 kilometers along the border. Nets, cameras, noise and motion sensors, spotlights and surveillance posts help to monitor it. Every year, tens of thousands of migrants, hundreds at a time, try to cross the barriers of Ceuta and Melilla. According to the Spanish newspaper El Pais:
“In 1887 there was only one Muslim registered in Melilla, he was originally from Casablanca and worked as a servant; today Muslims exceed 40 percent of the population and are approaching the majority”.
“We are a first observatory of what is happening in other cities of Europe”, said Jesús Vivas, president of the Ceuta Assembly. A local newspaper reported:
“Only in Ceuta, between April 1960 and today, 49 per cent of the population is Muslim, even if the real figure is significantly higher. Miracle? No, the incompetence and stupidity of the stormy nationalization process started between 1985 and 1990”.
Ceuta and Melilla are what most of Europe’s cities will look like in 20-30 years. Melilla is now the first Spanish city that has surpassed a 50% Muslim population due to immigration, family reunification and a high birth rate.
This expansion was foreseen by Boutros Boutros-Ghali, the former UN secretary general, an Egyptian Copt who, on May 22, 2007, outlined his view of the future of Europe:
“The unprecedented collapse of the population of Europe and its accelerated aging contrast with the still very rapid population increase in the southern and eastern Mediterranean. This will result in very acute imbalances!…. Immigration without precaution risks imploding Western societies at the cost of very serious problems (culture shock, neo-colonial structures, unemployment, etc.)”
Pakistan will become a young cauldron of 403 million people, almost the same as the population of the entire European Union (448 million); and its youth will go to the “stans” that will have been created around Europe. Afghanistan, one of the largest geopolitical black holes after the US withdrawal last summer, will double its population to 64 million.
What will Poland build to keep out the mass of people who will press on the external borders of the EU? Eastern Europe will collapse in a terrifying picture. Romania will lose 22% of its population, followed by Moldova (20%), Lithuania (17%), Croatia (16%) and Hungary (16%). Le Monde cries that today Central and Eastern Europe are “confronted with the anguish of disappearance”. The UN’s figures are impressive:
“Bulgaria, which went from 9 million inhabitants in the 1990s to 6.8 million in 2022, could have only 5.2 million in 2050. Serbia had 8 million inhabitants in collapse [sic] of the iron curtain. It currently has 7.2 million and could drop to 5.8 million in thirty years. Over the same period, the population of Lithuania could plummet from 3.8 million to 2.2 million, that of Latvia from 2.7 million to 1.4 million.”
Germany as we know it is, according to Die Zeit, disappearing: “22 million people, or more than a quarter of the population, are from another country or have parents born outside Germany”. Germany is poised to become a “country of legal immigration” after it has long been a de facto one — but with major political and legislative breakthroughs, according to Neue Zürcher Zeitung. Christian Doleschal of the CSU denounced the open immigration plan of the German government: “This will destroy Europe in the long term”, he warned.
The celebrated German writer Uwe Tellkamp also criticized his country’s immigration policy. “While respecting other cultures, I would still like to preserve mine. I do not want to be like Frankfurt,” he told the Süddeutsche Zeitung,referring to the German city where the majority of the population is no longer native German. In Frankfurt, the first German city where Germans became a minority, 15% of the population is of Turkish origin.
The Western world has provided more wealth and convenience to more citizens than any other civilization in history. We are practically inundated with resources, but we are running out of people, the only truly indispensable resource.
Russia is the most obvious example: it is the largest country on earth, it is full of natural resources, yet it is dying: its population is declining disastrously. Vladimir Putin will no longer be Russia‘s president when his country will have lost approximately 15 million inhabitants, and a third to a half of those remaining will be Muslims.
“Is Russia afraid of disappearing?” was the question asked in the weekly Le Pointby Bruno Tertrais, the scholar author of the book Le choc démographique and vice-president of the Foundation for Strategic Research in Paris. “Behind the conflict over Ukraine loom Russian demographic anxieties about the increase in Muslim immigration”.
Kamil Galeev, a researcher at the Washington DC-based Wilson Center, recently posted a map of Russia:
“Let’s talk about Russian demographics. As you can see, vast spaces in Siberia and European Russia are depopulating. There are two factors behind it. First, low fertility. The only places with natural growth are the Muslim areas…”
The official Russian news outlet, Pravda, posed the same question: “Islam to become Russia’s predominant religion by 2050?”
Janis Garisons, Latvia’s defense secretary, just offered Politico among potential scenarios after Putin’s eventual fall, “an internal war… the disintegration and fragmentation of Russia, with pockets controlled by militias and warlords.”
In that eventuality, Islam will have a unique opportunity to fulfill its dream of a caliphate by creating an unbroken chain of Muslim entities from Pakistan and Afghanistan to the North Caucasus and the Volga. In the worst-case scenario, the situation could get out of control. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, weapons of mass destruction began to spread around the world, posing a threat to human existence itself. Nobody knows what will happen if Russian missiles and high-tech weapons fall into the hands of the “caliphs” or “emirs” of the new Islamic Russian states.
By 2050, more than half the increase of the global population projected will be concentrated in just eight countries, mostly in Africa, according to The Economist: Congo, Egypt, Ethiopia, India, Nigeria, Pakistan, Philippines and Tanzania. Nigeria will have more inhabitants than Europe and the United States.
In addition, Islam will have overtaken Christianity as the largest religion in the world. The Islamic population of the European Union, depending on the migratory flows, could reach 75 million within a generation — like an entire Muslim Germany or, if one prefers, like Denmark, Austria, Hungary, Greece, Belgium, Holland, Portugal and Sweden combined. Does that sound better?
“They have not managed to change us. It is we who will change them,” Norwegian imam “Mullah Krekar” told the newspaper Dagbladet.
“Look at the development of the population in Europe, where the number of Muslims increases like mosquitoes. Each Western woman in the E.U. produces, on average, 1.4 children. Each Muslim woman in these same countries produces 3.5 children. By 2050, 30% of the European population will be Muslim… Our way of thinking in Islam stands in opposition to the Western way of thinking. Today it is our way of thinking that comes in and shows itself stronger than theirs….”
Already today, Islam is the leading religion in Brussels.
Algerian author Boualem Sansal recently said on French radio:
“France has made deals with Islamists: in France there were once 10 mosques, today there are 3,000 and Arabia and Qatar finance the Islamization of suburbs. The French government has been overwhelmed”.
“Islam is a growing social force in Britain’s second city,” headlined The Economist, referring to England’s second-largest city after London, Birmingham, where the muezzin calls the faithful to prayer. A small portrait of a conquered city:
“In the city’s 200 mosques, Muslims come not only to pray, but also to buy books, receive instructions, marry, divorce and bury their dead. Every year hundreds of people approach its ‘sharia council’, which administers family law.”
When Birmingham’s annual Eid Festival began in 2012, it was attended by 20,000 worshipers. In 2014 there were 40,000. In 2015, 70,000. In 2016, 90,000. In 2017, 100,000. In 2018, 140,000. Then Covid stopped all large gatherings. Now they are resuming.
The population of Birmingham will soon be half Muslim. “Muslims in Birmingham in 2018 amounted to 27 per cent of the population,” noted the Birmingham Mail . “The number of Muslims increased from 21 percent in 2011”. Business Liverevealed that the number of Muslim children in the city has surpassed the number of Christian children:
“In addition to Birmingham, Islam is now the dominant religion among children in Leicester, Bradford, Luton, Slough and the London boroughs of Newham, Redbridge and Tower Hamlets.”
The recent clashes between Muslims and Hindus in Leicester have now moved to other British cities, including Birmingham, where a Hindu temple was attacked with the cry of “Allahu Akbar” (“Allah is the greatest”). Sectarian and religious hatred “can spread all over England“. The clashes between Muslims and Hindus at the birth of India and at the partition with Pakistan have now reached the multicultural enclaves of Europe.
According to Hungarian journalist Károly Lorán in the newspaper Magyar Hirlap:
“[T]he United Nations estimates that world population will reach a peak of 11 billion people in 2100, three billion more than today. The increase will come from the sub-Saharan region. The Asian population will change little. The population of North America will grow by 120 million and that of the European Union will decrease by 60 million, due to Poland, Germany, Italy and Spain. If we fail to change the birthrate of 1.5 that characterizes the European Union and the current immigration of 1 million people per year remains, by the end of the century the share of the Muslim population will reach 40 percent on average. Some Western European countries will already have a Muslim majority. If we want to replace the declining population with immigrants, we will need 1.5 million immigrants a year and, by the end of the century, 60 per cent of the population of the European Union will be Muslim”.
Do we fantasize that immigration at this rate will be able to integrate happily into host societies and that the migrants will become like us? Do we hope that before long, Europeans will return to having more children? What if we are wrong and these projections become reality? Are we resigned to the disappearance of our civilization?
In 1996, Samuel Huntington wrote in The Clash of Civilizations:
“The balance of power between the various civilizations is changing: the influence of the West is decreasing; Asian civilizations increase their economic, military and political strength; the Islamic world is experiencing a demographic explosion with destabilizing consequences for Muslim countries and their neighbors; non-Western civilizations in general reaffirm the value of their own cultures”
“What do you leave behind?”, asked Britain’s Prime Minister Tony Blair.
It’s the demographics, stupid.
“Great demographics, great power”, Nicholas Eberstadt, the American political economist summed up in Foreign Affairs. Crumbling demographics, crumbling powers….

German public broadcaster’s image hits rock bottom
A resounding slap in the face for the mainstream media in Germany: According to a current INSA STUDY, 84 percent of Germans are now demanding the abolition of the broadcasting license fee.
This is not without reason. The image of mainstream media was ruined not only incessant tendentious reporting, which has been getting on the nerves of more and more viewers, but also the most recent corruption and nepotism scandals involving leading radio officials.
A study by the Swiss analysis company Media Tenor brought further figures to light. In 2020, 23 percent of all media articles reported negatively about public broadcaster ARD, by 2022 it was already 57 percent – a doubling in just two years. Roland Schatz, head of the analysis company, noted: “You normally only see a negative rating of over 50 percent for companies like Wirecard or other insolvent companies.”
Media scientist Stephan Russ-Mohl remained pessimistic about the prospects of public broadcasting: “It will still take a lot of pressure from outside for ARD and ZDF to reform. It would be necessary to halve the programs, focus on the program mandate, merge ARD stations, strengthen the broadcasting councils, undo the hierarchy and reduce bureaucracy.”

Meloni: Establishment Left Is Afraid of Right-Wing Election Victory This Weekend
Brothers of Italy (FdI) leader and conservative firebrand Giorgia Meloni has said that the establishment left is afraid of her right-populist coalition winning the Italian national election this weekend, promising a new era of freedom for Italians.
Meloni made her comments this week during a rally in the Piazza del Popolo in Rome, saying: “Italy is better than the left-wing governments it has had in recent years. The left is there to blather that everyone is afraid, but the only ones who are afraid are them because they have understood that their system of power is about to end.”
“We are ready, until the last vote, to restore freedom and pride to this nation. They say the markets, Europe, TikTok singers, actors, and influencers are worried about a centre-right victory. We don’t care what they say. We care what the Italians think,” Meloni continued, in comments reported by the newspaper Il Giornale.
“We are scary. But to whom? We only scare those who fear losing power, certainly not the Italians. We have shown that we are not as naïve as the mainstream hoped we were. Thank you for showing that in our part of Italy politics is love and not hate, it is not a crusade against one’s opponents but is made up of concrete proposals,” she said.
Meloni promised to enact major reforms to the Italian presidency if her coalition is victorious on Sunday. The reform could allow the Italian president to be directly elected by the Italian people, rather than appointed by the Italian parliament — but Meloni will require a two-thirds majority to enact this constitutional change.
League (Lega) leader Matteo Salvini also attended the Rome rally and gave a speech.
“They put their souls in peace in Brussels, Paris, or Berlin. You vote, the Italians vote. We want to govern well and together for five years,” he said.
“Today I am here at 49 and for trying to block ships arriving illegally in Italy, on the basis of the mandate given by the Italians, I risk 15 years in prison. But I did it with conviction. And, gentlemen, I can’t wait to do it again,” Salvini added, referring to his stint at interior minister in a failed coalition government between his party and the left-populist Five Star Movement (M5S), later supplanted by the establishment left and then a government of technocrats, which largely dismantled his border controls.
Salvini faces an ongoing trial over allegations of kidnapping when he refused to allow a migrant taxi NGO ship to disembark in Italy while serving as interior minister in 2019.
Illegal migration has been a major campaign topic for Salvini’s party, as illegal arrivals have surged this year to over 66,000. He has hinted at wanting to return to the interior ministry where he was successful at reducing both illegal arrivals and drownings in the Mediterranean Sea, assuming Meloni’s party wins a larger share of the vote than his and she becomes Prime Minister.

UK: Islamists call for mass mobilisation outside Hindu temple in London falsely accusing it of sending busloads of RSS workers to Leicester
After the attack on Hindus in Leicester, Islamists have been calling for a mass mobilisation outside the Shree Sanatan Hindu Mandir in London from 12 pm onwards on Sunday (September 25). The said Hindu temple is located off Ealing Road in Wembley in northwest London.
The development comes days after Islamists spread the rumour that the Hindu temple has been harbouring and ferrying Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh (RSS) workers, via a travel agency, to Leicester to supposedly foment communal tensions.
In a tweet, Australian research scholar Sarah L Gates pointed out how an Instagram account had been instigating violence against the Hindu community. “So what are you going to do? Dress up like ISIS then scream at the Hindus to denounce RSS – a non-terror entity?” she asked.
“Is it time to scrap all taxpayer funding to any Islamic orgs who are feeding this?” she further pointed out. The Instagram story, shared by Sarah L Gates, belonged to an account named ‘Apna Muslims.’
In a story, the handle demonised the Shree Sanatan Hindu Mandir as the ‘hornet’s nest of Nazi Hindutva’ and called for gathering outside its premises. In this way, ‘Apna Muslims’ laid a perfect ground for Islamists to justify any attacks on the temple.
The Instagram account boasts of 1240+ followers and is dedicated to promoting Islamist causes in the United Kingdom.
On September 18, a Twitter user named aart123 posted a 1-minute long video, alleging that a bus belonging to Angel Tours has been ferrying ‘masked Hindutva thugs’ to Leicester. It also claimed that the supposed mobilisation of Hindus was being done at the behest of the Hindu temple. The video showed a coach belonging to Angel Tours parked near the temple.
Soon after, Islamists dug out a year-old picture which showed a group of people holding a BJP flag, standing in front of an Angel Tours bus. “This is the coach in Leicester Angel Tours belonging to Ealing Temple London and the group openly supports BJP,” wrote one Ash.
The left-wing propaganda news outlet, The Wire, further amplified the disinformation with the aid of a Uk-based author named Amrit Wilson.
Quoting Wilson, The Wire journalist Sumedha Pal tweeted, “Coach Loads of RSS supporters went to Leicester to provoke conflict which can then be used in India to further Islamophobia & strengthening the narrative of Hindu victimisation.”
However, the owner of the tour company, Angel Tours, denied all the allegations, and said that his buses has not gone to Leicester in the last two months. He clarified that the buses of his company always stop in front of the temple as it is a major landmark and people know the place, therefore the passengers of his coaches can easily locate the bus. The owner Yatin Bhimani said that his buss are parked there only for convenience as there is ample space, and his coach company has no link with the temple.
In an interview with Ali Dawah, the owner of ‘Angel Tours’, Yatin Bhimani, clarifiedthat the Ealing Road temple, where his bus was stationed, is being used as a pickup point by his travel agency since 2009. He also pointed out that he is not affiliated with the temple.
This was also confirmed by the Guardian journalist Aina Khan, who posted GPS log of the bus showing that it didn’t go to Leicester on that day.
Regarding the people with the BJP flag seen in front of his bus, Yatin Bhimani said that last year a group of people had hired the bus and the photo was clicked at that time, and it does not mean that he is associated with BJP. He informed that the group had hired the bus to see PM Narendra Modi addressing the UN Climate Change Conference in November 2021. The travel agency owner also informed that people got hold of the picture from his Facebook profile, where he had written how his ‘Angel Tours’ facilitated the journey of Indians for an event attended by PM Modi. As the photo was taken from his Facebook account, the Islamists knew that the photo is old, but still used it to peddle propaganda against Hindus.
Therefore, the claim that a Hindu temple in London was sending ‘RSS supporters’ to Leicester has been proven wrong already. The bus has no link with the temple, and it was not ferrying RSS supporters or anyone else to Leicester during the violence.
But the Islamists, who are always on the hunt for excuses to justify their crimes, are now harping on the fake information to create chaos at the Shree Sanatan Hindu Mandir in London. As the propaganda against the temple which has nothing to do with the Leicester violence grows on social media, it is possible that the temple may come under the attack of Islamists in the UK.
Built at the cost of £16 million (around ₹109 crore, the Shee Sanatan Hindu Mandir in Wembly in London was opened in June 2010. The temple has been built using the ancient temple architecture methods associated with Hinduism, without the use of metal. The limestone for the temple was hand-carved in Sola town in Gujarat. The temple houses 41 marble deities, also made in India.
