MPACuk is a vicious pro-jihadist campaign group. It is run by Asghar Bukhari, who donated money and offered to fundraise for the neo-Nazi, David Irving. It periodically republishes material from US neo Nazi websites.
Some of you may have seen this story in the Telegraph:
Shifa Patel, who dressed for work in a traditional hijab (head covering) and full-length robe, was targeted after photographs of her with short hair and wearing a shirt and trousers were copied from social networking site Facebook.
The photos were circulated among pupils at Al-Islah Muslim Girls’ School in Blackburn, Lancashire, by email before it reached parents, who began to complain.
When Fatima Patel, the acting head teacher, heard the gossip, she sent a letter reassuring parents of Miss Patel’s gender.
The secretary even underwent a medical examination to prove she was female and quell the rumours.
But when an angry mob of parents gathered at the school gates attempting to force their way in and demanding she be sacked, the secretary decided to hand in her resignation and the head also decided to quit in protest.
Miss Patel, who is 28, said: “I will never forgive those who did this to me and spread these lies.
“I have irrefutable medical evidence that I’m a woman. The people who have done this to me have hurt me so badly.”
In some of the pictures Miss Patel is pictured alongside the acting headteacher.
Fatima Patel said: “When some parents approached me I said to them I will take the Quran in my hand and swear to tell the truth.
“But they were more concerned with getting a GP’s certificate for Shifa. What does that say about some people?
“This incident has affected me and Shifa and it will take a lot to get her confidence back. We must add that some parents have come and supported us.”
MPACuk has published a series of private pictures, from Shifa Patel’s Facebook account. I’m not linking to these pictures, or the MPACuk’s “expose” of this poor woman. It is, however, clear that she is a gay woman, not a man.
Here is MPACuk’s justification for lynching Shifa Patel:
We have anonymously received copies of the pictures which we are publishing. We find it strange that the media failed to publish these images without which the Muslims are being portrayed simply as ignorant backward savages, which is pretty much what the right wing media want us to believe.
MPACuk are ignorant backward savages.
A good number of MPACuk commentators agree:
It looks like a personal vendeta against the women.
…
This lady did not deserve to be hounded out
…
So MPAC now supports the (clear) homophobic hounding of a school employee by publishing pictures of this woman – how much lower into the gutter are you going to sink MPAC?
…
Shame on you, MPAC, for regurgitating these photographs.
I was unaware that MPAC operated with the sewer rat mentality of the lowest, vilest red-top press in Britain.
Actually, it is MPAC which should be ashamed for joining in with this base, discriminatory hounding of this young woman.
…
Ah, I see. The newspaper gave the impression that the parents wanted this person sacked because they believed she was a man. In fact, they wanted her sacked because they believe she is a lesbian.
That’s ok then. I was thinking for a minute they were ignorant and backward.
…
mpac – u are a pathtic bunch
you have disgraced urself with publishing these photos
as a muslim orgnisation u must be aware not to disclose people past – u must know the hadith
i hope u all go to hell…
The only reason I can find for MPAC publicising this egregious piece of nastiness about someone else’s private life is that MPAC hope that by doing so that it will get noticed. In effect, the marketing strategy of a spoiled three year old.
This can hardly come as any surprise given that MPAC now appears to be inhabited only by about six regulars on its forum and possibly the same number on its main page (not including its various loyal followers publishing under a variety of sockpuppets).
This might have something to do with the sheer unpleasantness and lack of judgement that passes for editorial line at MPAC. It might have something to do with the utter stupidity of many of MPAC’s posts, the bigotry and dullard inanity of many of its contributions.
Incidentally, when are MPAC going to stop referring to themselves as the “biggest” Muslim group – as this is simply on the basis of the hits to their site. By that standard, the biggest political group in the UK is the BNP.
When MPAC eventually disappear, the sparkling halaal mango juice is on me.
However, there are some commenters who support MPACuk’s actions:
anti zionist:
a woman/man like this should not be at a muslim school.…
The Zionist media and newspapers always lie especially the ones owned by Pervert Murdoch. … She possibly is a Lesbian working with underage and minor girls.
…
You sound like such a BNP supporter. The media is once again guilty of inaccurate reporting when it comes to Muslims and mpacuk have exposed it and all you can whinge about is private life.
When MPACuk has a go at Jews I tend to be phlegmatic. But this incident has made me utterly furious.
I cannot express how disgusted I am with Asghar Bukhari and MPACuk. It is not easy to come out as gay at the best of times. Imagine living in a community in which homosexuality is disparaged, and where rumours about your private life result in parents marching on your place of work!
What possible justification can there be for posting these pictures – turning a low profile local matter into a national scandal? This woman is not a political activist. She’s a simple secretary. She wore a hijab to work. She towed the line.
And MPACuk strung her up.
What shits they are.
