Islamic Radicals Infiltrate the Labour Party

The labour Party is in meltdown in Tower Hamlets where the party's attempt to prevent its own former council leader,Luftur Rahman, becoming elected mayor of the east London borough on the 21st October virtually guarantees his triumph in the polls.


Luftur has become an embarrassment to the labour party because of his alleged links to the jihad loving fundamentalist Islamic forum of Europe, which pulls the strings at the East London Mosque. This was reported by the channel 4 Dispatches programme back in February.


The Islamic forum of Europe which believes in jihad and Sharia law, and wants turn Europe and Britain into Islamic states, has placed sympathisers into elected offices. They claim correctly that they can  mass mobilise Muslim voters to vote for their preferred candidates and parties


In February it was reported in the Daily Telegraph that the then labour minister for the environment Jim Fitzpatrick, stated that the Islamic forum of Europe had become a secret group within the labour party and other political parties.
“They are acting almost as an entryist organisation, placing people within the political parties, recruiting members to those political parties, trying to get individuals selected and elected so they can exercise political influence and power, whether it’s at local government level or national level,” he said.

“They are completely at odds with Labour’s programme, with our support for secularism.”

Mr Fitzpatrick, the MP for Poplar and Canning Town, said the IFE had infiltrated and “corrupted” his party in east London in the same way that the far-Left Militant Tendency did in the 1980s. Leaked Labour lists show a 110 per cent rise in party membership in one constituency in two years.

In a six-month investigation by this newspaper and Channel 4’s Dispatches, involving weeks of covert filming by the programme’s reporters:

• IFE activists boasted to the undercover reporters that they had already “consolidated … a lot of influence and power” over Tower Hamlets, a London borough council with a £1 billion budget.
• We have established that the group and its allies were awarded more than £10 million of taxpayers’ money, much of it from government funds designed to “prevent violent extremism”.
• IFE leaders were recorded expressing opposition to democracy, support for sharia law or mocking black people. The IFE organised meetings with extremists, including Taliban allies, a man named by the US government as an “unindicted co-conspirator” in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, and a man under investigation by the FBI for his links to the September 11 attacks.
• Moderate Muslims in London told how the IFE and its allies were enforcing their hardline views on the rest of the local community, curbing behaviour they deemed “un-Islamic”. The owner of a dating agency received a threatening email from an IFE activist, warning her to close it.
• George Galloway, a London MP, admitted in recordings obtained by this newspaper that his surprise victory in the 2005 election owed more to the IFE “than it would be wise – for them – for me to say, adding that they played a “decisive role” in his triumph at the polls.

The IFE has particularly close links to Tower Hamlets council. Seven serving and former councillors said Lutfur Rahman, he is also gained his position from support from the IFE.

Some said they were canvassed by a senior IFE official on his behalf. After Mr Rahman was elected, a man with close links to the group, Lutfur Ali, was appointed assistant chief executive of the council with responsibility for grant funding.

This was despite a chequered employment record, a misleading CV and a negative report from the headhunters appointed to consider the candidates. The council’s white chief executive was subsequently forced from his post.

While Luftur was council leader research has shown that mysterious grants were given to IFE supporting groups, whilst funding for other secularist groups was stopped or cut.


An incident which caused much outrage was the abandonment of funding for the heritage trail along the famous Brick Lane area. The funds were then transferred to build the controversial "hijab  sculpture", which angered many local residents, who saw it as further islamification of their country.


Because of dispatches program, Luftur was ousted as Labour group and council leader. He then put his name forward for nomination as the party's mayoral candidate and labour have removed twice already from their candidate lists. Luftur went to court to remain on the list and then romped home in a poll of local party members. Labour's national executive committee then dumped him as candidate. Then Luftur declared himself as an independent, similar to Red Ken Livingstone in 2000 in the London mayoral election.


Luftur's replacement as council leader, Helal Abbas has little democratic legitimacy with only 157 votes from local membership he came third to Luftur's 433 votes. In second place was John Biggs with 251 votes who unlike Abbas comes with no embarrassing baggage. But was passed over allegedly because he was WHITE!!!


Abbas a former bankrupt, is notorious for lining his own pockets. Back in 2003 he awarded himself a 49% rise in allowances, how civic minded of him. 


It appears from this article, that extreme left wing communists within the Labour Party want to get into the political bed with extreme Islam. This is a short sighted tool for exploiting the muslim vote.
Extreme Islam is at complete odds with communism. In the middle east, state's have used Islamic fundamentalism to combat the rise of communism within the state. This is because of fundamentalism in itself rejects democracy and equality, which is what communism is supposed to achieve ( theoretically but generally just totalitarianism ). The two cannot operate with each other. Communism requires that the working classes be united, the Islamic state will not let the people unite independently outside of Islamic institutions. True equality can never be achieved also because women and infidels have second class citizens within Islam.
Therefore at some point when the communists and the fundamentalists have extracted all that they need from each other, there will be inevitable blood shed as two the cannot exist together in the long term.
