Maajid Nawaz And His Crypto-Muslim Fantasy
By J Stubbs & J Spooner
This is ‘Muslim Reformer” Maajid Nawaz on British radio station LBC:
“On the subject of the twenty mainly Pakistani British men convicted of the gang rape of underage white girls” in Huddersfield.
I think it’s important to say that the ringleader of this Huddersfield case appears — emphasis on the word ‘appears’ there — appears to be Sikh; from a Sikh background. However, that is deceptive!
By various and multiple accounts, the ringleader in the Huddersfield case, is strangely and for reasons I am yet to fully understand, because I don’t want to go all conspiratorial on this, from what we know so far, is that five-years-ago, when charges were pressed, the man converted to Sikhism from being a Muslim. He has a British-Pakistani Muslim background when he conducted, when he, uh, perpetrated these offenses. Then when the Police started investigating and I imagine when these men were being arrested and questioned, ah — five years ago that was and also five years that the ringleader calling himself ‘Amere Singh”in this case, converted to Sikhism. He wasn’t Sikh when committed these offenses and he wasn’t raised Sikh and that’s a fact that’s important to mention here. Of course, because the term “British-Asian” is used to describe these kind of offenders but are overwhelmingly British-Pakistani, but generally British Muslim men.”
Everything bolded above is mis/disinformation. Those convicted in Huddersfield were not convicted of the “gang rape of underage white girls”. There is no such crime. Amere Singh Dhaliwal, the Huddersfield ringleader, doesn’t ‘call himself’ Amere Singh, as Nawaz asserts, it’s been his name all of his life, given to him by his Sikh parents, to be found on his passport and his birth certificate. This was confirmed by Sikh leader Moham Singh, who knows the family and can be corroborated by us, having obtained a copy of his birth registry.
Maajid Nawaz, a Muslim, seems positively obsessed with connecting Islam to the rape of white children. More worrying still, he demonstrates no compunction in fabricating crime-profiles, fudging statistics or making wild claims not supported by any evidence to do so. His claim that offenders “are generally Muslim men”, for example, is not supported by any available evidence.
He is perpetuating a lurid conspiracy theory which originated with pseudo-journalist Stephen Yaxley-Lennon (Tommy Robinson) and which was spread by anti-Muslim Breitbart and the radical Sikh Youth UK, who protest outside mixed-marriages. We can find not a single reliable news source to claim that Dhaliwal converted from Islam to Sikhism, nevermind all the other layers of taqiyya-infused intrigue. Exactly what these “various and multiple accounts” the noted counter-extremist refers to remain a mystery.
Journalist, Tim Fenton, has done a good job in documenting Nawaz’s typical ducking and weaving to avoid himself going off-message. Maajid Nawaz still has not, but simply must, correct his egregious error on his LBC show. Maajid Nawaz must stop using false statistics to paint Muslims in a bad light. Maajid Nawaz must stop speaking so loosely and using terms that sound scary but have no actual meaning.
Amere Singh Dhaliwal’s Sikhism should be irrelevant, likewise if he had been Muslim — unless it can be demonstrated otherwise, His Sikh faith causes problems for those with an agenda of attributing Islam as a cause for child rape. If this was an effort by Maajid Nawaz to misdirect the truth onto the Muslim community it is unconscionable. If this was an act of sheer incompetence then Nawaz needs to apologise and issue a correction. Either way, both he and his ill-equipped organisation need to keep away from the highly-specialised field of child sex exploitation. Their unwarranted injection of themselves into the issue has been highly toxic.
