Meet the 'Mosquebusters': British Legal Team Out to Stop Islamic Influence in its Tracks

Meet the Mosquebusters -- or as they're officially known, the Law and Freedom Foundation -- a group of anti-Islamic vigilantes in Britain with a subtler approach than their peers: Rather than picket Mosque sites, or lead demonstrations of any kind, they sue under Britain's byzantine legal code to make it illegal for those Mosques to be built in the first place.

Anti-Islamic sentiment in Britain is not new. Groups such as such as England Is Ours and Stop Islamisation of Europe have, for some time, been defending what they see as traditional British/Western culture against a group they see as closeted Islamic extremists who will kill "infidels" or take slaves at the drop of a hat. In fact, they believe that the Koran urges precisely that. Some -- like the English Defence League (EDL) -- verge on paramilitary fascism in their use of tactics. The Mosquebusters, however, are apparently clever enough to avoid those obvious trappings of pro-Western resistance. Foreign Policy Magazine describes their approach as "a war against Islam, but one that often resembles a bureaucratic turf battle more than a clash of civilizations."

Foreign Policy again:

It's not religious practice, claim the Mosquebusters, it's parking. Or noise pollution. Or building codes. And with downloadable petition templates, generic letters to councilors, and free legal advice for begrudged locals, it's Boby's mission to make it as easy as possible for your average, disgruntled suburbanite to join in. If there's a trial or hearing about planned construction, Boby will come down to the courthouse to provide free legal representation; if a mosque site has been proposed, he'll arrange volunteers to paper a neighbourhood with flyers. But the Mosquebusters aren't just a resource for aggrieved pensioners -- the group actually wants its volunteers to spread out, actively trolling city planning offices and public records for mosque applications. "It is satisfying detective work, rooting around Islamic deviousness!" reads the instructional e-mail sent to volunteers.

For those wanting to hear the Mosquebusters in their own words, this is one of the series of motivational videos put out by the group:

The key message, especially for those with concerns about scandals like the one surrounding the Mosque being built at Ground Zero last year, is as follows:

It's very seldom that a Mosque outfit will put forward a Mosque calling it a Mosque. They will always try and say it's for the benefit of the community, it's a prayer room, it's a community center for all faiths or all ethnicities. No, it's not, it's going to be a Mosque, and if you disobey parts of Islamic law whilst you're on the premises, you'd better look out. They go under all kinds of names and local authorities lap it up because local authorities are afraid to nullify the politically correct gravy train that they're riding. It's good business for them, and things go through under all kind of euphemisms, but they are Mosques.
