About Kate
Why this blog?
Until this moment
I have been forced
to listen while media
and politicians alike
have told me
"what Canadians think".
In all that time they
never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio - "You don't speak for me."

How about politicians and lawyers? and plumbers as well.
So now Christian Priests and Ministers, Jewish Rabbis, and those of Hinduism and Sikhism will all have to be certified that they don't teach/preach orthodox Islam(Islamism), Jihad, Sharia Law and the way of Mo.?
O' where is Monty Python, when we really need them!
The comedians will have a field day, but will the U.K. government actually go ahead with certifying Imams?
Maybe, but I wouldn't bet money or my life on it.
This leak is a long way from a government sponsored Bill in Parliament.
Last year the U.K. Conservative gov't. had a report and were considering outlawing the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization. That never happened either.
The Canadian Senate security report recommended certifying Imams, too. But if the NDP and/Liberals get elected, that and the other 27 recommendations will be shelved.
Sorry, mate...not even (a) Python can help us.

Would work as well as a gun registry.
"Imams will have to register and face security vetting under Home Office plans"
It's a start, they have a long long way to go to protect western civilization from the damage "Liberalism" has done!
A good start. Put in Friday monitors, too, so we know if they start preaching jihad. If (when, really) they do, boot them.
It would be a start if the goats weren't already out of the shed......
Rabbi -- Imam, yeah, whatever. You don't go into journalism if you aced calculus.
It's reminiscent of the line from "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas" in which the politician's proposed solution to the Arab/Israeli conflict is to get both sides to sit down at a table and settle their differences "like good Christian folk".
Do we actually know if it's the photo or the text that's wrong? Seems more likely in today's world that the photo is correct and the text intended to say it's Rabbis they seek to register .....
Security vetting of peace-loving Islamists? Get outta here ... that's crazy talk.
Radical Imams are only half the problem.
The other half is the ignorant, gullible sheep who are content to operate on faith only, ignoring even the healthiest of scepticisms. Although in fairness, asking questions can often make the other faithful very hostile.
Strap me to a bomb so I can murder some innocents and live eternally in Allah's grace!
F*cking evil simpletons.
Conservatism has had a rough passage since the political assassination of Margaret Thatcher, culminating, at this point, in the rule of Nanny Cameron.As tom@drum suggests, this "Long-Beard Registry" would likely be as efficient and effective as our "Long-Gun Registry".
That said, there may be some value in vetting those from other countries who seek permission to work in the UK as priests, rabbis, imams, etc. In Bermuda, where for over a century, almost all Catholic priests were imported either from Canada or the United States, the Bermudian government must approve them individually for entry into the country and for their eligibility to work as clergymen.
This says so much about the happy face fascism of the socialist state.
In full monte secular statist socialism there is no separation between church and state - the church IS the state and the state IS the church. This move just codifies the arrangement.
It was probably the advent of radical Islamism which precipitated the move (even though Islam is not so much as religion as it is a rival political/legal system. To appear politically correct secular socialist statism includes all religions in its state round up of "rogue ideologies/theologies" to appear unprejudiced. Of course they are morbidly bigoted in that they hate the competition of any religious faith, but they DO realize the obvious danger of Islamic fanaticism.
Pretty much all churches are under state control in socialist countries already, through mandatory church registering with the state to keep their tax free status - the implication being, if that church refuses to give its blessings to state agendas and policies and instead challenges the encroaching, soul sucking tyranny of authoritarian statist socialism, church holdings will be taxed into insolvency.
Of course in most socialist nations there are laws against holding home church meetings (function assembly permits required) so the statist socialist secularism has pretty much subjugated religious freedom to its own purposes already - if you don't believe so, watch the track record of the united church rubber stamping every socialist agenda to come down from their real master - witness the current catholic pope.
The "culture war" was lost decades ago - this latest commie stomping on the church is just an obvious reminder.
For some reason I'm thinking "trading cards".
They could start by patrolling the Mediterranean and sinking a few boats
The text isn't wrong - it's incomplete. From The Daily Telegraph:
"Imams, priests, rabbis and other religious figures will have to enrol in a 'national register of faith leaders' and be subject to government-specified training and security checks in the Home Office’s latest action on extremism."
The security problem is the imams of course (and not even all British imams, only the notoriously extremist ones) but we have to be "fair" and "unbiased" so in order to keep tabs on the Finchley mosque, the authorities will be harassing some poor Methodist minister in Shirrell Heath too.
Jewish imams are the worst kind, obviously.
Robert of Ottawa >
"They could start by patrolling the Mediterranean and sinking a few boats"
There are a whole host of things they could do to prevent anyone getting into boats in the first place.
Regardless, there is no need to kill anyone, as far as boats themselves they could put up navel mines and other anti landing devices to protect their borders. Then it's simply suicide, although as with disabling the Western Welfare systems it's truly an effective deterrent.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naval_mine#National_arsenals
And like so many of these initiatives, it'll be a cash cow for HM Government.
A national register?
Government-specified training and security checks?
I smell a £1,000 registration and service fee for every synagogue, mosque, church, chapel and meeting hall in the UK.
To be renewed every four years of course.
Theres dumb then there's dumber. Which one is this?
Tony Blair kept a Koran on his bedside table believing Islam to be a progressive religion (which it is, the meaning of progressive properly understood).
Vetting of Imams:
Do you believe Islam is a progressive religion of peace and that it is against violence
against innocents? (muslims).
Yes?
Next.
And the invadergees' laughing reaches a deafening crescendo.
To be fair, until the mult-cuti zeitgeist changes any registry would have to include all clerics in order to get to the proper target, Islamist imams.
But a government registry? Laughable. As others have pointed out, another bureaucracy and fee collection machine. And renewal every FOUR years? Dream on. Annually at least.
Here's one single muscular change that might impress: no clerics on welfare (e.g, Anjem Choudary who actually laughs about it and openly refers it it as kafir jizya).
That is the acid test for government sincerity: will they continue to provide welfare to able bodied Islamist clerics (Choudary is a trained lawyer). I will contemptuously dismiss all initiatives until I see this.
The navel mines all got shut down. Never got anything from them but lint, anyway.
I don't see anything wrong with certifying imams. Based on their beliefs, they are all certifiable, anyway.
Further vetting - "Does Israel have the right to exist"?
It smokes fundimuzzies out, EVERY single time - unless they are practicing taqiyya.
Vetting? How about just not letting them in your country until Islam stops attacking?
Knight 99 said, "they could put up navel mines". Navel mines? Are those suicide belts? I would rather use NAVAL mines. ;-0
Um, yeah but no.
Recall one of the smartest commenters to ever grace these pages, ET, believed that Arafat had recognized Israel's right to exist. He said so in a letter once, before Israel invited him in as the "representative" of the "Palestinian people".
Ed Minchau's idea is terrific but is not doable until the PC multi-culti zeitgeist changes.
How about no social benefits except for citizens who have paid income tax for at least 5 years and none ever for able bodied people of working age. And, as proposed above, none for priests, rabbis or imams.
Destroy the incentive structure that fuels the Islamic immigration jihad.
The solutions are easy as pie. That they are not being adopted underlines the utter corruption of the bribe taking cultural and political elites who are giving away our patrimony.
"Imams will have to register" with a picture of a bunch of Jewish guys under it.
Yeah. Subtle.
Can we just drive these press a-holes into bankruptcy and be done with it please?
And can we all FINALLY get it through our heads that "Imams will have to register" is not a win for our side? That's what their side winning looks like. First register, then death march.
Some of you guys are kicking at our goal. In a free country nobody ever registers anything. Ever. Because FREE COUNTRY. Wake the hell up.
Kate's thread title -- moral and intellectual superiors - suggests that an error was made in the mismatch between Islamic headline and Jewish picture.
Not really. This is deliberate.
It does two things:
First it celebrates diversity like those ubiquitous PC posters with yellows, blacks and browns but no whites.
Second, it highlights the deep anti-Zionism, aka anti-semitism, of the UK cultural and political elite.
I have an old friend who's cool with Islamists but permanently pissed with Jooos for their arrogance in being the "chosen people".
To Occam's point, then (3 or so comments above yours).
I interpret Occam's "socialist countries" to mean all of us.
Thomas Hayward (@TEHayward) thinks the Crusades were a BAD thing!
Dammit, Sean, you beat me to it...!!!
They look like a rough lot and pretty sus, though...!!!
Given that most (if not all) Judaic and Islamist clergy have beards there's a simple solution - impose a beard tax like the British and the Russians did way back in the day. Control with the bonus of revenue. What could possibly go wrong?
