“Muslim mayor of Keighley apologises and resigns after raising LGBTQ flag,” 5Pillars, June 20, 2023 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
The Muslim Tory mayor of Keighley in West Yorkshire, Cllr Mohammed Nazam, has apologised to Muslims and resigned after taking part in an LGBTQ Pride flag-raising ceremony.
Cllr Nazam was suspended by the Conservative group on Bradford Council once his comments came to light and later announced he would quit as mayor.
He said: “In relation to media reports about my suspension from the Conservative Party, I had already resigned from the Conservative Party and as a Keighley Town Mayor with immediate effect.
“A few days ago I attended the flag raising for LGBTQ community. This did not conform to my religious beliefs and hence I offered an apology to my constituents.
“By my apology I did not mean any harm to any member of my constituency. My religion teaches respect and tolerance for all and the law of the land….
Following Mohammed Nazam’s resignation Keighley Town Council issued the following statement: ·
“This afternoon Cllr Mohammed Nazam has resigned as Town Mayor with immediate effect. The Town Council will meet in due to course to elect a new Mayor for the remainder of the Municipal year.
“The Town Council has a long record of supporting and celebrating all sections of the amazingly diverse Keighley community. The Pride flag will continue to fly proudly in the Town Hall Square for the remainder of Pride Month as planned.
“As a Council we recognise the hard work of organisations, such as, Keighley Pride undertake to celebrate PRIDE annually and raise awareness of the challenges faced by many in the LGBTQ community. The Council will continue to do whatever it can to support similar groups and the wider LGBTQ community.”…

He doesn’t have anything to worry about. His non Muslim supporters are totally blind to incidents like this.
The ears can also be conveniently disconnected from the brain for such people

‘ This did not conform to my religious beliefs and hence I offered an apology to my constituents.
“By my apology I did not mean any harm to any member of my constituency. My religion teaches respect and tolerance for all and the law of the land…..’…. yeah,right. Maybe in short term but not long term.
Peacelover says
in other words,deception until they reach their goal
somehistory says
absolutely right. The “respect and tolerance” are a one-way street for mozlums….they have no respect nor tolerance for others.
Just one of their big fat lies.
tim gallagher says
Some of the lies Muslims come out with are staggering, Peacelover. islam teaches “respect and tolernace for all”!! What a load of bullshit. The content of the Koran, all those passages expressing intolerance and murderous hatred towards all non-believers, show that this Muslim is a lying piece of crap. either that or he knows nothing about what is in the hate-filled Koran.

To Max Roberts- HAHAHA! I love your so true comment.
James Lincoln says
The Muslim Tory mayor of Keighley is having a very hard time “threading the needle”, trying to pretend that there is a “middle ground” between LGBTQ Leftist activists and islam.
Or maybe he’s just trying to get back into good graces with the muslim community – in order to avoid having his head chopped off.
somehistory says
Yes, James, he may feel that others will say he needs to be whacked to *restore* honor to the *community. * In this apology, he hopes to soothe their feelings of being dishonored.

The surprising thing about this story is a Tory mayor raising the LGBTQIA+ flag: I’d have thought that being a Tory, it would have been a slamdunk decision for him to pick islam over the stripes
This is a story I’d have expected to have read from a Labour Party official. Much like our own Rashida Tlaib going against Hamtramck
Hindu American says
Per the town’s official website, 11 out of 24 elected councilors in this town are from the peaceful community (think about that). Some of them also showed up at the event (per the photo). All should have resigned, as this was an approved, announced event.

FOX news said she gave a “powerful speech.”
She’s arguing “people of faith,” hoping to get support from Christians and others who don’t want the perversion forced on their children.
Christians should make their arguments; I won’t say what others might do, as I don’t belong to their faiths.
The best Christian argument imo, is to take the kids out and home school.
PRCS says
Given that home schooling is just not an option for most parents, opting out is not the real issue.
Parents need to stop voting for school boards members who push the alphabet agenda instead of simple, age-appropriate sex education.
**Yes, those Muslim parents are–with FNC’s assistance–deceitfully angling for support from the gullible followers of other faiths.

The ugly aspect of this story is the dominance of muslims in what is ostensibly the Conservative party. You think the Tories supported the muslims here b’cos of their dedication to Victorian or even Elizabethian (II) values?
Traditional English (and Scottish, Welsh & Irish) conservatives ought to move en masse from Tories to either “For Britain”, or “Britain First”. Otherwise that country is dead
Wellington says
Just another example of the absurd times we live in.
When your moral order is askew, as Mo’s Creed and Wester Leftism’s most certainly are, and from their very inception no less, then expect anything—even complete contradictory nonsense as here.
When you start out with rot, examples surely being the Islamic faith in toto and Western Leftism, and other idiocies as well like Marxism and Nazism, then don’t be surprised by anything thereafter.
Logic and overall decency and other good things like a fair legal system remain in the offing for mankind but only if mankind avails itself of these positives. With few exceptions throughout history, mankind has not done this to date. Indeed, if anything, mankind in our era is going backwards and dispositive once again that though individual human beings can learn, even an entire society briefly (e.g., what ancient Athens constructed in the 6th and 5th centuries BC, Britain at its best, and America as formulated by the Founding Fathers), the vast majority of the time the human species remains a collective idiot. Never more so than in our era wherein and whereby the single greatest civilization of all time, i.e., Western Civilization, though certainly far from perfect to be sure (no civilization of course ever will be), is presently being devoured from both within and without.
Time for a beer—or maybe three. And accompanied by a BLT and a Beethoven symphony. Hey, might as well enjoy some of the best that mankind has produced while there’s still time to do so.
Hudders. says
The instant backlash and threats he got from the islamist locals terrified him.
Hence the pathetic begging letter…
Good riddance to bad rubbish I say; but who will be there next in his place I wonder?
I don’t wish him all the best whatever he does next.
Keighly is almost unrecognizable from only a few short years ago.
No go areas and sharia compliant communities have truly made this once beautiful town nestled in the beautiful green hills of Northern England, into a stinking, strange and sinister dung pile.
That is the truth.I should know.
John Moriarty says
According to their execrable books, they are obliged to engage in SEDITION. The political powers that be in Europe, are slow on that uptake, but maybe they’ll read a bit of history to get up to speed.
Otherwise this enemy inside the gates wil grow like a cancer.

Going to enjoy this as Islam becomes a major force in politics as they want to take over with this kind of Peaceful Jihad they will have a problem as we now see. Liberal Left will have a problem with Mohammad teachings and how they will keep Islam in a box but it will burst open very soon.
