Imagine the embarrassment of British officials when they discover that Suliman Gani is not an “extremist,” but is expressing mainstream views within the Muslim community. Or maybe they already know, and don’t care. Britain is, of course, finished.
“NHS Muslim imam in ‘propaganda’ storm after pro-Taliban interview,” by Charlie Peters, GB News, August 9, 2023:
An NHS Muslim chaplain filmed praising the Taliban’s rule in Afghanistan has risked becoming a “propaganda tool”, experts have claimed.
In an interview with the Taliban’s state-owned TV channel RTA, Suliman Gani, an imam from South London who works at the St George’s hospital in Tooting, said that he was “very impressed” by the Taliban government.
Gani’s visit to Afghanistan, which involved meetings with Taliban ministers, was exposed by this broadcaster last week.
A statement from the Taliban’s Supreme Court claimed that the delegation of imams – who travelled with charity Human Aid & Advocacy – praised the new government in Afghanistan as a “role model” as a “Shariah-based system.”
The statement added that the British delegation “expressed that British Muslims are very happy with the rule of the Islamic Emirate in Afghanistan and pray for its survival.”
Gani and other members of the delegation did not distance themselves from the comments when questioned by this broadcaster….
Al-Gani told the host of a “special interview” on state TV that it was his second visit to the war-torn country, describing the experience as “very special.”
He continued: “Afghanistan now is prospering in the sense that there is peace … I think this is the most critical point for the people living in Afghanistan.”
Gani compared the “mercy” of the Taliban after they defeated the previous government to the prophet Mohammed, adding: “The most important is to safeguard and protect our Deen [an Islamic term for the Muslim compliance with divine law], our way of life, our Iman, and I think Afghanistan is now another unique opportunity.”
The imam, whose NHS trust serves over 3 million people, said: “Now that there is a new government in place, I think … what we have witnessed, the different ministers, the organisation, the experience, the mistakes that they had learned from previously. I think many of those have been addressed and now we see things are in the right direction….

So why allow them to return to Britian? If they like the life in afghanistan so very much, they should all stay there and make arrangements for their family, extended family, friends and everyone in their local barracks to relocate to afghanistan.
One could see the nation shrink if all mozlums suddenly packed up….like the saudis in the U.S. did in Sept of 2001…and left the country.

I continie to be disappointed in Mr Spencer who always finds ways to denigrate the UK and it citizens by laying heavy emphasis on reports which ‘upset’ him. Just because a poltician refused him entry many years ago (which I actually disagreed with but I have no control over the foreign 0r home offices) he still carries a grudge which is childish in a man of his learning. There are also cohorts here who leap to fulsomely support his views, wthout any fact checking. I question the claim that all British Muslims support the Taliban government for a start. I advise people to visit UK and see for themselvs what it is like, just as I advise critics of Israel to visit that country. They will not do so as they prefer confirmation bias to anything which does not support their postions such as facts. In other words they are stupid as well as ignorant. I must add that have high respect for Mr Spencer and have several of his works in my library
Michael Copeland says
The claim that all British Muslims support the Taliban government is made by Gani.
A Pakistani film actress visiting Britain (Bradford area) said she felt “at home”. It was “just like Pakistan”.
A placard held by a muslim said Muslims in UK support Taliban.

Great comment, Michael.

On the contrary:
The best posters here will not assert anything without factual / evidence-based citations.

Right on, James.

“childish”…..Children are a lot more accepting of wrongs done to them than adults are. Rather to be called “childish” than to be wrong…on so many things.
Besides the fact that many posters and readers…”lurkers”…are new and do not already know that Mr. Spencer and Ms. Geller were refused entry to you oh-so-wonderful nation and the reasons for the denial. It’s good that he reminds those who do know and informs the new ones who don’t.
As for “visiting your country….not everyone has that as an option in their lives, but that doesn’t make them “stupid and ignorant.” Nor does it mean all who don’t visit are biased.
And as for being “biased” against islam….that is a wholly good thing. I wanted to visit the U.K. for a very long time; now, not so much since mozlums have such a large footprint there and are given so many privileges others are denied.

This barbarian is impressed by the regime those primitive knuckle draggers have imposed on Afghanistan. I suspect that there would be huge numbers of the Muslims who have been allowed to invade the UK that would share his disgusting views and would love to impose the primitive Taliban lifestyle on all people in the UK. Time to wake up non-Muslims in the UK. And I suppose that this poisonous, traitorous toad, being a chaplain for the NHS, is being paid for by the taxpayers at the UK. Imagine the poison he is spreading at St George’s hospital with his chaplaincy work. He should be left in Afghanistan with his fellow knuckle draggers.
AStealthyFart says
Excellent reply!
tim gallagher says
Thanks for the comment. I feel pretty sure that this scumbag is merely saying what far too many Muslims in the UK think about those knuckle draggers who run Afghanistan. Far too many are the enemies of civilised life.

“on all people in the UK”
**on all people everywhere, as that truly is Islam’s ultimate goal.
Hudders. says
Scum. Absolute scum.
The truth is that he is only speaking a watered down version of what is being preached to moslems, day in & out, in their unholy diabolical dens of death; the mosque.
This so called ‘chaplain’ should obviously be imprisoned &/or removed from the UK asap.
But of course that won’t happen. He is protected.

One reason I cant go along with this because I dont desire to have sex with young boys or goats.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Maybe the goats part can be appended to the MAP part of the LGBTQIA2SMAP+ part of that coalition. Do these clowns call it bestiality, or “animal attracted person”, or something else? Maybe add that, and this group can set up headquarters in Kabul
tgusa says
I’m thinking of starting a cause, You know, a cause that will make the world a better place. I am considering starting up seminars on masturbation. My target audience would be muslims. It would make the world a better place and just think how happy the goats would be.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
You should. Ask them to practice like they’re having sex w/ those virgins, so that they don’t disappoint. (Leave aside the claim that those virgins are 132′ tall, and if they ask, tell them that it’s not for them to question allah ?)

Back in the day I thought Baghdad Bob was an aberration. Turns out that within islam ole Bob is mainstream.
Bob quotes.
“My feelings, as usual, we will slaughter them all.”
“Our initial assessment is that they will all die.”
“Washington has thrown their soldiers on the fire.”
“We have them surrounded in their tanks.”
“Their forces committed suicide by the hundreds. … The battle is very fierce and God made us victorious. The fighting continues.”
“We will welcome them with bullets and shoes.”
Well..there is that.
AStealthyFart says
We need to deport all of this scum. They spread hate and incite violence. Those who disagree with British values and beliefs should be encouraged to fuck off back to where they came from.

Just in case the American readership here was not aware, and not to beat about the bush, the NHS may well have been cause for genuine national pride once, but that was when ‘Great Britain’ was actually a recognisable ‘nation’ that was recognisably ‘British’. However, as the whole planet now knows, that’s not the case anymore and the NHS, like the excuse for a ‘country’ that it’s supposed to serve, is now complete and utter, total and unmitigated rubbish; and the appalling specimen who ‘stars’ in this story and who, like the rest of his kind, has clearly brought his native toxic ‘enrichment’ with him, is a very good example of why that is. And UK taxpayers just carry on paying good money for what really belongs in a local council tip. By the way, if any of you good people find yourselves in a UK hospital, don’t bother going to the hospital chapel; you’ll probably have some trouble finding it because it will probably now be called a ‘multi faith prayer room’ – wrongly, because you’ll probably find that it will be kitted out like a mosque where the ‘hero’ of this piece and all his friends will no doubt feel very much at home.
(Off-topic post script; a young pupil of mine came to her lesson yesterday and told me that she’d found a copy of the Qur’an ‘carelessly’ left on an Underground (Subway) train seat. ‘How very remiss of its rightful owner!’ one thought to oneself. Or maybe ‘Mayor’ Khan has decided to use some of his (HIS??) council tax revenue to provide ‘uplifting reading material’ for London commuters who may be fed up with looking at the line map and the ads – but without bothering to consult anyone else first, of course. London Transport Advertising has a long tradition of inserting short poems along with the normal ads in their trains; no doubt we’re going to start finding verses of the Qur’an up there before much longer.)

Good lord Jayell1. As an American of British ancestry in spite of it all still love you all and yours in your beautiful country. What you describe I cant imagine. Never believe we true Americans have forgotten you overlooked whats going on there because we haven’t and wont.You will always have American friends (if you need us) lets hope that’s good enough.
somehistory says
Jayell1,
Thanks for the ot ps. You are probably right in thinking it was the mayor who furnished the filth via the taxpayers’ dime; and also regarding future propaganda in the ads.
Young people riding…and older ones too…won’t realize their brains are being assaulted with demon filth….probably won’t be those “kill them where you find them” verses in the beginning.
