A Profile in Courage: An Interview with "Lionheart," The British Blogger in Hiding.UPDATE: RE: THE BRITISH NATIONAL PARTY Once I posted my interview with Lionheart, a handful of people subsequently came forward to insist that Lionheart is a member of the British National Party which is a fascist, neo-Nazi, Holocaust-denying political party. They fear that supporting his struggle for freedom of speech in the blogosphere might, accidentally, involve me or other people in an alliance with others, with whom they strongly disagree. I myself no longer demand purity or conformity in my political alliances. I think we are at war and we must make alliances with people with whom we may not agree on every issue. However, others believe that there are some people who, no matter what, are “off-limits” where civilized political and military alliances are concerned. One such person is another British blogger who sent me the following snippet from Lionheart’s blog. “People will read my blog and see my support of the BNP and because of the indoctrination of the masses of gullible British sheep people by Labour and Conservative they will automatically jump to the conclusion that I am a right wing Nazi racist. BNP = Nazi racist in the British people’s psyche. I have never voted and am a part of No political party, some of my closest friends, they are more than friends they are family to me, are from different ethnic backgrounds and each of them would stand in any court of law on my behalf and agree with me, so I am not a racist. My writings in support of the BNP is because they are Anglo-Saxon British citizens exactly the same as me whose country this is, whose forefathers fought and died for this country and who want to preserve the British way of life - Our British identity, history culture and heritage for the future and for our children’s futures. Is that not what our predecessors went to war for in the last 2 Great Wars?”
However, more important than the allegations: Lionheart strongly denies membership in the BNP and insists that he is being slandered. He notes that he speaks out on behalf of the Jews and of Israel. He also prides himself on his friendships not only with Jews and Israelis but with people of diverse ethnicities and of many colors. He has written as much. Thus, he does not sound like a Jew-hating or Israel-demonizing person. One might also concede that it is a real linguistic challenge to describe an Islamist-jihadist without saying the word “Muslim.” And that when one tries to defend the Western Judao-Christian culture, one might also be seen as saying “For Caucasians only.” I welcome reader input. I have also asked Lionheart to address these issues for us all.
Or is it? Islamist rule over the UK may, alarmingly, be on its way. Today, the British police want to question and/or arrest the British blogger known as Lionheart. His crime? Turning his life around as a young school dropout and petty drug dealer and emerging as a believing Christian who opposes the drug plague in his hometown of Luton and who views the Pakistani Islamist and al-Qaeda control of the drug trade in Luton as both criminally and politically dangerous. For this, Lionheart has been charged with “stirring up racial hatred”—which is a crime in the UK. Yes, Luton—where the 7/7 suicide bombers, Omar Bakri, and the hook-handed Abu Hamza of the Finsbury Park Mosque all came from. In fact, according to Lionheart, one of his supporters is Glen Jenvey, the man who helped imprison Abu Hamza and aided in the expulsion of Omar Bakri from Great Britain. Interestingly, Dr. Ehrenfeld was sued because she documented that the Saudi billionaire was funding terrorism and that Islamist terrorists are funding their diabolic deeds by selling narcotics. The phrase: “narco-terrorism” is Ehrenfeld’s. Lionheart, whose real name is Paul, documents the extent to which this is true on the ground. He writes about the massive number of Pakistani Muslim drug dealers in his hometown of Luton who addict British youth and whose profits fuel expensive lifestyles, paramilitary organizations, suicide terrorism, and religious hate speech against Jews, Christians, and the West. Ironically, what is said in mosques and madrassas and on protest marches all over the UK is never considered to constitute a “racially” motivated hate crime. As George Orwell understood, not all pigs are equal. Oh yes. These Islamist groups also raise money by sexually enslaving girls and women. The largest opium fields in the world are currently in Afghanistan. Al-Qaeda, The Taliban, and Pakistani Islamists are selling what becomes heroin and crack cocaine to the West. Paul/Lionheart started working with the police and with vulnerable children. He gave evidence that led to a one year jail sentence for one such drug dealer. Because some police officers are, allegedly, corrupt, Paul’s name was given to the drug dealer as the “informant.” Paul fled after receiving credible death threats. Now, he himself faces possible arrest. Paul-the-Lionhearted began a blog. He described what had happened to him and what he saw happening on the streets of his hometown. Someone unknown decided that Paul’s denunciation of Al-Qaeda and terrorism constituted “hate speech.” Perhaps Paul’s Christianity offended both Muslims and the politically correct oligarchy that rules the media, the universities, and perhaps the House of Lords in Britain. In my opinion, Paul should be knighted by the Queen and all London should give him a parade. I encourage you to visit his blog HERE http://lionheartuk.blogspot.com where all his “stirring” and highly informative articles may be found. I also suggest that you visit Pamela Geller of Atlas Shrugs who conducted an initial radio interview with him nearly a year ago. Also, I want to acknowledge my British colleague and friend, Carol Gould, who only yesterday alerted me to Paul’s situation. Here is the interview that I just conducted with him: THE INTERVIEW Phyllis: Did you grow up in London? Lionheart: No - I grew up in Luton & Dunstable, which is about 30 minutes North of London. P: How long have you been blogging? L: Exactly 1 year. P: How old are you? L: I am 31 years old. P: Since you are potentially facing trial and even arrest, do you have a good lawyer? L: I have been offered one of the best Barristers Britain has to offer through a friend, and I have Tony Bennett, who is a very high profile lawyer, as my point man for the initial proceedings (like confirming I am not lying like some dim wits think) and an American lawyer has stepped forward to advise me about American legal matters. P: Has this happened to anyone else in England as yet? L: No. Among bloggers, I am the first. P: What did you write about Islam that has led to a warrant for your arrest? L: I have written extensively on what is happening on the ground in Luton & Dunstable where I live in relation to the large predominantly Pakistani Moslem community living here. Luton you will recall was the start off point of the 7/7 bombers and has many more links to international Islamic terrorism, that is covered on my blog. I had my life threatened by the drug dealing gangs of Pakistani Moslems who control the streets and I had to flee. Someone set up the blog for me so that I could write about my experiences. Since then I have been homeless and gone from place to place using libraries and friends’ internet connections to keep my blog going. P: Who is behind the accusation of “racism”? What forces led the British government to act on this accusation? L: I have no idea but am certain that it will all be revealed at a later stage. This accusation of racism is being used to try to silence me. I can provide any number of friends of other ethnic backgrounds who know me who would refute such ludicrous accusations – One of my closest friends is a black man. I have Jewish friends, and I put my life on the line for Israel. Glenn Jenry, who was involved in the Omar Bakri and Abu Hamza cases is supporting me. P: How refreshing that you understand that Jew-hatred or anti-semitism is a form of racism! What do YOU see is at stake here? L: My liberty, my life, my freedom to tell the truth about what has happened to me personally and what is happening to my community, my country and to the civilized world in relation to Islam’s Holy War against the West. Beyond that, our whole civilization is at stake, the Islamic World is calling for the annihilation of the Jewish race and the total destruction of the Western World. P: You are really talking about a fundamentalist religion and about a criminal, jihadic culture and not about a race. And yet, the politically correct multi-cultural sensitivity police have confused it all, do not know how to navigate what they might call a “slippery slope,” and are themselves playing into the hands of intolerant fanatics and real racists. L: The facts speak clearly for themselves for those who care to look. Our civilized world will be destroyed and Islam will subdue the whole Earth under Islamic Rule – That is their objective after all as commanded by Mohamed and laid down in the Koran. If we do not stand up for the sake of the future generations now then who will? No one. We will be leaving them in a much more perilous situation. P: How can people help you? Is anyone already helping you? L: People can help me by using their resources to get this message out to the world, if the injustice that has been leveled at me is brought out into the open, then the message about Islam and its global Jihad will reach the masses. Many good people are helping me like yourself. This is as much about them as it is about me, its just I am the one who is being silenced. P: May I ask what kind of Christianity you practice? L: I have a simple faith in Almighty God, that He is alive and with me always and that He sent His son into this world to die for me. He is as real to me as you reading my words. I don’t get into the arguments about the different denominations, I just believe in God and try to do good in my life because I have that knowledge in my life, that’s enough for me. P: You, who have tried to help children to stay off and get off drugs, are on the run and in danger. What guides you and keeps you strong? L: Yes, this year has been terrible, but it is the path that God has given me to make me stronger in Him, and to grow further in the knowledge of Him. Walking with God is no easy thing when you have spent 21 years of your life conditioned to live without Him, I stand with the knowledge of God, there is nothing more powerful than that. Still, it seems like it is an almost impossible task to change things. Only the Lord God of Israel can help us, the situation with the Islamic world is way too big for mankind. We are living in critical times. For yourself, being Jewish, it must bring back terrible memories of a not too distant past. That’s why, no matter what the cost, we must not allow history to repeat itself. First the Saturday people and then the Sunday people. What I cannot fathom is how liberal left wing thinking people cannot see it, how they are helping our destruction. As for me: “Though I walk through the valley of death I shall fear no evil for you are by my side, thy rod and thy staff they comfort me”. Thanks for your help. God bless. Comments (15)Debbie :ic :The libetal left cannot see because the liberal left are arrogant racists. Only white men are smart enough to be evil. The brown people are so cute, they are harmless. Their religion is so exotic. They need to be protected from the evil white men, such as Paul. Today's leftists are as racist as those in the 1950's who blamed US politicians for "losing" China, as if the Chinese couldn't act on their own. George Jochnowitz :I went to the Lionheart blog, which, fortunately, is still easily reachable even though Paul is being sued. When I saw the medallions with the cross and the star of David, I was immediately reminded of the time I drove to my father's birthplace in Poland, Kolbuszowa in Polish, Kolbesev in Yiddish. At the entrance to the town there is a sign showing two shaking hands, a cross, and a star of David. The sign is still there, although the Jews are gone. Hitler was defeated, but the victims of genocide are gone forever. The sign at Kolbuszowa and the absence of Jews are both testimony to this situation. Let us hope that jihadists and extremists like Ahmadinejad can be defeated before they are able to do any significant damage. Elric66 :This is just the beginning I am afraid. Thankfully with the internet, Lionheart's story is spreading like wildfire. I wish him all the best in defeating the thought police and kudos for a wonderful interview.
Edo Van Ede :What "race" or "ethnicity" is Islam? None. Is Islam an intolerant, misogynistic, expansionistic form of theocratic tyranny? Yes. Case dismissed. Blockhead :Luton—where the 7/7 suicide bombers, Omar Bakri, and the hook-handed Abu Hamza of the Finsbury Park Mosque all came from... You are incorrect in this assertion. The Narrative document which was published by the UK Government in May 2006 state that the '4 accused suicide bombers met at Luton Station on the morning of 7th July 2005. There exists an alleged photograph of the 4 accused people entering Luton Station at 7.21 am, however the faces are not distinguishable. No other evidence is in the public domain which connects the 4 accused with the events in London. See http://julyseventh.co.uk for more excellent analysis.
