Loyalist campaigner Willie Frazer was in Newry again today dressed as a radical Muslim cleric.He was again wearing a long black robe, skullcap, a false beard, another eye-patch with a hooked hand. Frazer was protesting at an upcoming White Picket Protest in Newry against British Political Internment and he claims, that Islamic preachers and Irish republicans.
The loyalist, from Markethill, County Armagh, who was recently in court, for possession of a prohibited weapon and encouraging or assisting an offence to be committed was found not guilty as British loyalists while hundreds of Irish Republicans are remanded or political interned for years on trumped up charges prsecuted by a force under the command of the disgraced RUC who are proven sectarian murderers.
Willie aside from insulting Allah and Muslims was displaying his displeasure at Newry, where an up coming protest against Internment by remand, is being held on the 28 th of June on Monaghan Street at 3.00 p.m.
Muslims are under attack from Orangemen in British Occupied Ireland, after outbursts racist and sectarian from Prime minister Peter Robinson and his spiritual Pastor McConnell. A Muslim man and his friend were assaulted in his own home, after their windows were smashed by loyalist followers, of Robinson and Pastor McConnell, in their north Belfast home, just hours after his house was targeted in a race attack. Muhammad Asif Khattak was attaCked after being subjected to a barrage of racist abuse by a group of loyalists, outside his Parkmount Street home at 3.15pm on the Lord's day.
He was chased into his home and attacked along with another man inside, by supporters of Robinson and Pastor McConnell. The attack followed appeals by Muhammad Asif Khattak earlier, for Prime Minister Peter Robinson, to apologise personally to all Muslims, after he supported sectarian, insulting attacks made by a British loyalist, firebrand, pastor, who denounced Islam as "satanic". Bottles were thrown through Muslim windows in the early hours of Sunday morning at 2.50am.
Mr Khattak who lives with a friend, said he no longer felt safe living in Belfast, just like Catholics in British Occupied Ireland. "If we go outside in the street, people will start swearing at us what can we do?" he said."We are treated just as foreigners, we don't feel accepted. We are scared now and my family and friends are telling me to come back to London." Prime minister Peter Robinson is still backing hate comments made by Pastor James McConnell.
The latest attack in Belfast, comes after four loyalists in a car, attempted to kidnap a man walking on his own in north Belfast. Earlier more than 5,000 people attended an anti-racism rally in Belfast. It was held after Alliance MLA Anna Lo, said she was quitting politics, due to ongoing Orange racist abuse, directed at her by loyalists supporters of Robinson and his spiritual protestant Pastor McConnell. Ms Lo said previously, she was leaving northern Ireland, after sectarian comments made by Prime Minister Peter Robinson in support of his racist pastor, who attacked Islam.
Ms Lo received a large vote last week, as a candidate in the European elections and was "angry" at the support given to hate preacher James McConnell. McConnell attacked the Islamic faith, describing it as "Satanic" in a sermon at Whitewell Metropolitan Tabernacle church. He also said, " I don't trust them". Peter Robinson continues his defence of Pastor McConnell's "right to freedom of speech". A speech at the protest against, Robinson and McConnell said,"A clear rise in racial prejudice is shaming. Widespread and growing Islamophobia is shaming.The fact that Anna Lo MLA is now considering leaving British Occupied Ireland, due to racism – that's shaming. Shame isn't enough."
Ian Paisley’s son blasted the Prime Minister of British Occupied Ireland as a “condescending ignoramus” over his insulting remarks on Muslims. Prime Minister Peter Robinson has refused to issue a public apology over supporting an anti-Islamic preacher Pastor McConnell who caused controversy when he blasted Islam as "satanic". Rev Paisley, a Presbyterian Minister in England, said that there are "irreconcilable differences between the theology of Biblical Protestantism and the theology of traditional Islam", but this was "no reason for any man to go out of his way in order to insult Allah". Paisley slated the current DUP leader as "a condescending ignoramus" for saying he would only trust Muslims to "go down to the shop." "His remark leaves a deep stain on his own reputation, the reputation of his party and the reputation of the religion he professes to believe in," Rev Paisley said. The minister went on to criticise the DUP including his twin brother Ian for not speaking out."It beggars belief that thus far not one within his party has the nerve to publicly challenge him. Sometimes silence is golden. In this case it is plain yellow. If I was on the receiving end of that remark, and somebody said I wouldn't trust a Protestant except to go to the shop to buy me something, I would look upon that as a condescending remark."

31 MAY 2014 Thousands of people attended anti-racism rallies in Belfast and Londonderry today following recent racist attacks in Northern Ireland and controversial comments by a pastor who described Islam as "satanic".
Organisers of the Belfast event said it was held to communicate the city's support of its migrant and ethnic minority residents.
Police said around 4,000 people attended the event.
Speakers included Alliance MLA Anna Lo, who this week said she would not be seeking re-election after being subjected to racist abuse.
Ms Lo was also critical of First Minister Peter Robinson following remarks he made in support of Paster James McConnell who earlier this month gave a sermon in which he described Islam as a "doctrine spawned in hell."
Addressing today's rally, she said everyone in Northern Ireland must stand up against racism and sectarianism.
A spokesperson behind the rally said: "Attacks on migrants are shaming. A clear rise in racial prejudice is shaming. Widespread and growing Islamophobia is shaming.
"The fact that Anna Lo MLA is now considering leaving Northern Ireland due to racism – that's shaming. Shame isn't enough."
Meanwhile, plans for an anti-racism march through the streets of Belfast have been announced.
The event, planned for next Saturday, is being described as a chance for the community to take a stand against racism.
Organisers say the purpose is to reassure ethnic and religious minorities that they are a welcome and an integral part of society and to call for effective and united political leadership against racism.
