   Muslim London Mayor Sets Up Task Force To Jail Those Who “Annoy” Muslims   
   Online   
      
   Muslims are obsessed with shutting down any criticism of Islam. It’s a good   
   first step to imposing Sharia on new lands. And they’ll pretend this is to   
   be applied broadly, but it will be used 90% of the time to protect Muslims, &   
   the other 10% to    
   protect other enemies of white, Christian conservatives, just like “hate   
   speech” and other such laws in the US and elsewhere are only used against   
   whites.   
      
   Excerpted from Breitbart: The office of London’s first Muslim mayor has   
   secured millions of pounds to fund a police “online hate crime hub” to   
   work in “partnership with social media providers” to criminalise   
   “trolls” who “target…    
   individuals and communities.”   
      
   The London mayor’s office for policing and crime (Mopac) will spend   
   £1,730,726 of taxpayer’s money policing speech online after applying for a   
   huge grant from the Home Office Police Innovation Fund (PIF), it was announced   
   in a statement.   
      
   “The purpose of this programme is to strengthen the police and community   
   response to this growing crime type” is was announced, and will “involv[e]   
   a dedicated police team” backed by “volunteers”.   
      
   The measures will be “delivered in partnership with social media   
   providers” who along with “specialist officers” will be “filtering and   
   identification of online hate crimes” and “identifying the location of the   
   crime and allocating to the    
   appropriate force…”   
      
   London’s Metropolitan police force said they welcomed the extra workload and   
   wished to encourage offended people to report perceived hate crimes in ever   
   increasing numbers.   
      
   “The Met encourages all victims of hate crime to report any incident to the   
   police and will make every effort to hold offenders to account and bring them   
   to justice.”   
      
   Convictions for crimes under Section 127 of the Communications Act of 2003, a   
   law increasingly used to prosecute “internet trolls”, have increased   
   ten-fold in a decade, official figures revealed in May last year. They showed   
   1,209 people were found    
   guilty of offences under the law, compared with 143 in 2004, according to the   
   Ministry of Justice.   
      
   The law criminalises “using [a] public electronic communications network in   
   order to cause annoyance, inconvenience or needless anxiety,” and can result   
   in a six-month prison term or fine of up to £5,000.   
      
   “Pure rants, very childish [people online] are increasingly criminalised,   
   and as a result of that the police is becoming more and more involved in   
   controlling our morality”, explained Frank Furedi, emeritus professor of   
   sociology at the University of    
   Kent, on BBC Radio 4 this morning.   
      
   Section 127 was the law used to prosecute James McConnell, the Northern   
   Irish Pastor charged with making “grossly offensive” remarks about   
   Islam during a sermon broadcast online in 2014. Read the whole thing
