Shakeel Hussain was sacked by Labor ahead of local elections last week due to anti-Semitic postings on Facebook. He then went to the conservatives who accepted him, until they too received complaints and chose to suspend him.
Jewish News had previously revealed Hussain had been blocked from standing as a Labour candidate in last week’s local elections, but was approved by the Tories.
After he was elected, Stockton Conservative Group leader Tony Riordan had appeared to welcome Hussain as a councillor.
Speaking in the House of Commons, the Labor MP for Stockton North, Alex Cunningham, said: “On Friday morning, Stockton Conservatives celebrated the election of Shakeel Hussain, despite his published statement that Israelis were ‘Zionist murderers’.”
“He was rejected by the Labor party for his antisemitic views”, Cunningham added, and “appears to have conned” the Tories….
It seems that neither Labour nor the Tories can accept that most Muslims have a hostile relationship with Jews and the Jewish state.
Robert Spencer puts the case into the right context.
The Jews in the Qur’an are called the strongest of all people in enmity towards the Muslims (5:82); they fabricate things and falsely ascribe them to Allah (2:79; 3:75, 3:181); they claim that Allah’s power is limited (5:64); they love to listen to lies (5:41); they disobey Allah and never observe his commands (5:13). They are disputing and quarreling (2:247); hiding the truth and misleading people (3:78); staging rebellion against the prophets and rejecting their guidance (2:55); being hypocritical (2:14, 2:44); giving preference to their own interests over the teachings of Muhammad (2:87); wishing evil for people and trying to mislead them (2:109); feeling pain when others are happy or fortunate (3:120); being arrogant about their being Allah’s beloved people (5:18); devouring people’s wealth by subterfuge (4:161); slandering the true religion and being cursed by Allah (4:46); killing the prophets (2:61); being merciless and heartless (2:74); never keeping their promises or fulfilling their words (2:100); being unrestrained in committing sins (5:79); being cowardly (59:13-14); being miserable (4:53); being transformed into apes and pigs for breaking the Sabbath (2:63-65; 5:59-60; 7:166); and more. They are under Allah’s curse (9:30), and Muslims should wage war against them and subjugate them under Islamic hegemony (9:29).
Why are the British fooled again and again? The answer is the Muslim voting bloc. The Muslims weigh more and more and their votes are sought after.
