  • Big Brother star on ISIS Bride: “She’s a threat”

    Big Brother star on ISIS Bride: “She’s a threat”

    Former Big Brother star Ryan Ruckledge has hit out at the so-called ISIS Bride, Shamima Begum who wants to return to the UK.

    The teenager, Shamima Begum, who fled to Syria in 2015 from Bethnal Green in London to join the caliphate when she was just 15, now she wishes to come back home.

    Ryan Ruckledge who starred in the 2016 series of Big Brother has gone on a rant on social media saying that the woman, who has recently given birth “is a threat to our country” and that she’s “not welcome”.

    He uploaded the video to Instagram and so far it’s been viewed over 25,000 times.

    Speaking to his fans, Ryan said that he couldn’t believe the reports he was hearing in the media that Shamima Begum wanted to return to the UK after leaving in 2015 to go to Syria.

    In his Instagram rant, Ryan said that Begum’s baby should be taken off her and Begum herself should be “sent to Mars”.

    He said, “I can’t believe what I’m seeing in the media about that this jihadi bride that f**ked off from the UK, went to Syria to join ISIS.

    ISIS that has killed innocent people around the world, oh but now she’s popped a baby out… and wants to come back to the UK, well I tell you what, that is a f**king pisstake”.

    “Scrouging off the NHS”

    Ryan said the “ISIS Bridge” should be “sent to Mars” and that her baby should be taken off her.

    He continued his rant saying that Begum’s baby should be taken off her and Begum herself should be “sent to Mars”.

    He added, “Send her to Mars, take the baby off her, because she’s clearly not fit to have a child and tell her to get to f**k. What so she can come back to the UK, scrounge off the government, get benefits, scrounge off our NHS – oh why don’t we just chuck a free food hamper in from Lldl while we’re at it.

    “No, I’m not f**king having this. She’s a threat to our country, she’s not welcome, stay where you are. You’ve made your bed, now lie in, hun”

    It seems as though the reality star struck a chord with his followers, with many taking to the comment’s section to add their approval of his message. One simply added, “Amen” while another added, “Couldn’t agree more !!! Rages me the people saying she’s aloud [sic] back”.

    One pointed out that, “I think most of the nation will agree with Ryan’s point, every time it’s on the news my reaction is get to f**k”.

     

  • Islamic State continue their murderous onslaught towards the gay community

    A man has been executed by the Islamic State, for being gay, THEGAYUK.com has learned.

    **Report contains distressing images**

    Photos have emerged on social media showing Islamic State fighters throwing a man to his death off a tall building in Deir ez-Zor in Syria. Deir ez-Zor is a large city in the east of Syria. ISIS has, historically used this method of killing gay men or men accused of being gay almost exclusively.

    https://twitter.com/Terror_Monitor/status/893881077520932865

    The pictures are dated from the 5th August and show a single man being thrown off a building which is at least five storeys high. death is not always certain for a victim of any fall under seven storeys. Usually, stoning from gathered spectators ensures that the accused dies.

    In these pictures, the accused was wearing all black and has his hands and feet bound.

    Typically, although homosexuality is illegal in the Syrian Arab Republic, it does not attract the death penalty. Men found guilty of homosexual acts are given jailed terms of up to three years. However, in ISIS-held territories, the Islamic law of Sharia is used as their legal system and it holds harsh punishments for those found to be homosexuality or engaging in homosexual acts.

    Homosexuality is against Sharia law and its penalty is death.

    What is forbidden under Sharia law?

    Sharia Law is the legal system used in Islam. Derived from the Koran and fatwas – which are rulings from Islamic scholars, the law acts as a code by which all Muslims should live. Literally, Sharia means “the clear, well-trodden path to water”.

    Islam’s legal system, derived from the Koran
    Informs every aspect of Muslims’ lives
    Islamic jurists issue formal guidance through fatwas, or religious edicts
    Sharia law includes provisions for capital and corporal punishment but modern scholars say getting to that stage can be difficult
    Marriage is treated as a contract in Islam

    According to reports, ISIS have claimed responsibility for the suicide bombing which ripped through Manchester Arena’s foyer, killing 22 people and injured 59 others. The male which some media outlets have dubbed a “lone wolf” bomber was confirmed, by police, to have died on site.

    The English version said,

    “With Allah’s grace and support, a soldier of the Khilafah [caliphate] managed to place explosive devices in the midst of the gatherings of the crusaders in the British city of Manchester”.

    Speaking at a press conference, the Chief Constable of Manchester’s police force, Ian Hopkins called the bombing the “most horrific” incident that Manchester has faced.

    He said,

    “Families and many young people were out to enjoy a concert at the Manchester Arena and have lost their lives.  Our thoughts are with those 22 victims that we now know have died, the 59 people who have been injured and their loved ones.

    Emergency numbers have been established for anyone who is concerned for loved ones who may not have returned home 0161 856 9400 or 0161 856 9900.

    The policeman who was shot and killed in what is being called a suspected terror attack in the French capital was a “proud gay man” committed to the LGBT cause.

     

    Xavier Jugelé was killed when he was shot in the head in a suspected terror attack in Paris, last night. It has been revealed that he leaves behind his partner, who he was civilly wed to. He was a member of Flag!, a group that represents LGBT police officers.

    Mr Jugelé was described by the New York Times as a “proud gay man”. He had been a serving officer since 2010.

    The 37-year-old officer was shot by a gunman who was later killed by French security forces as he tried to flee the scene.

    Mr Jugelé was sitting in a police vehicle near the world-famous Champs-Élysées when the gunman opened fire.

    The shooter, 39-year-old Karim Cheurfi, was apparently known to security services had been a list of suspected terrorists. He lived in the city’s suburbs. ISIS have claimed responsibility for the attack.

    Mr Jugelé had been one of the first responders during the 2015 Paris terror attacks in which 130 people were killed.

    Mickaël Bucheron, president of Flag said,

    “He was a simple man who loved his job, and he was really committed to the LGBT cause,

    “He joined the association a few years ago, and he protested with us when there was the homosexual propaganda ban at the Sochi Olympic Games.”

    Enfield resident and neo-Nazi extremist Sean Creighton has been jailed for five years following an investigation by the Metropolitan police in London. The 45-year-old was accused of a terrorism offence as well as writing anti-gay and racist posts on social media that were intended to incite hatred.

    Creighton, a right-wing extremist, pleaded guilty to seven public order offences and one terrorism offence at Kingston Crown Court on Friday, 6 January.

    He was sentenced on Thursday, 23 February to four years’ imprisonment for the public order offences and five years’ imprisonment for the terrorism offence, to run concurrently.

    The police launched an investigation after a post appeared of Mr Creighton holding an assault rifle, standing in front of a Nazi flag, on social media.

    In June 2016 police executed a Section 46 Firearms Act warrant.

    The court heard how police found a “terrorism manual” on his laptop, which contained “viable recipes” for making bombs following a raid on his North London home.

    He was arrested under Section 19 Public Order Act 1986 – distributing written material intending to stir up racial hatred in relation to material on his social media account. When officers further investigated his activity they discovered he was using various methods to spread hate, including offensive stickers on street furniture and what can only be described as prolific activity on social media. They also discovered he had possession of a manual of a kind likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism.

    On 31 August 2016 he was charged with a terrorism offence and public order offences and appeared at Westminster Magistrates’ Court the following morning where he was remanded in custody to await trial.

    Commander Dean Haydon, of the Counter Terrorism Command, said,

    “We are as committed to apprehending and prosecuting far right extremists who commit terrorist offences and promote hatred as we are those who support and promote ISIS. Both are intent on destroying communities and pose a real risk if they are allowed to continue.”

    The series was created by comedy duo Heydon Prowse and Jolyon Rubinstein who reacted to the criticism by writing,

    “It’s important not to pull your punches in satire. You have to be fearless or it undermines your credibility.

    “You can’t go after David Cameron for five years like we did and not go after Islamic State.”

    Jolyon Rubinstein added,

    “It’s about people who are vulnerable to these kind of approaches. We’ve had the “White Widow”, so this is actually happening to women here.”

  • Man accused of being gay executed in Aleppo

    A man accused of being gay has been executed by ISIS in Aleppo.

    ** Warning this article contains imagery that may offend or disturb some readers.**

    A man has been thrown to his death and then stoned in the streets of Aleppo after ISIS (Islamic State) accused him and found him guilty on charges of homosexuality. ISIS follow an interpretation of Sharia law, which forbids homosexuality and finds that it is a crime with a death penalty. ISIS hand out harsh sentences for men who are found guilty of having same-sex relationships and often throw them to their deaths from tall buildings in front of huge crowds.

    Photos released by the terrorist organisation show a man, dressed in black, blindfolded being thrown off a tall building in the Syrian city of Aleppo. It’s not known whether the man survived the fall, but pictures show that the man was then stoned by members of the crowd that witnessed the execution.

    Hundreds of people stood and watched as the man plunged to the street below. A number of the crowd are then seen to hurling rocks at the lifeless body of the man.

    In the past, we have reported that ISIS have killed another of men accused of homosexuality, but this is the first reported execution of man in Aleppo.

  • ISIS execute a “gay” man by throwing him face first from silo

    In an unconfirmed report, ISIS has thrown a man to his death for being gay in north-west Iraq.

    WARNING: There are images in this article which some readers may find distressing.

    A “gay” man has been executed by ISIS fighters by throwing him face first from a grain silo in Iraq. TerrorMonitor and the Jihad Threat Monitor  have released pictures which show a man, with his hands bound behind his back falling from the top of a silo.

    In the first picture, the victim is seen surrounded by a number of men, with one standing to the right, filming the whole ordeal. In the second sickening picture, the man is seen with his hands tied behind his back, plummeting towards the ground.

     

    It is not clear from the pictures when the execution was undertaken, however executing men accused of being gay is a somewhat common occurrence in ISIS strongholds.

    The usual method of execution preferred by ISIS fighters, for the crime of homosexuality, is to be thrown from a high building or being stoned to death.

    Under Sharia law homosexuality is a crime punishable by death.

    *THEGAYUK has made the editorial decision not to publish the Pulse massacre shooter by name.

    A number of calls between the Pulse massacre shooter* and police dispatchers have been released today which reveal how calm and even-toned the shooter was during the siege which lasted over three hours in the earlier morning of 12th June 2016.

    As the calls continued the shooter became more and more threatening and complained of the number of calls he was receiving by law enforcement, as the night of terror in Orlando unfolded.

    Transcripts of the calls have already been released, but this is the first time the public can hear the audio.

    Before he was killed, the shooter, used his calls to the negotiators to claim that the attack was the work of the Islamic State and used his conversations to warn the authorities that he booby-trapped the area surrounding the Pulse nightclub with bombs.

    He also warned that in the days after his attack for America to expect more attacks, similar to his.

    The recordings were made public after Judge Margaret H. Schreiber of the Circuit Court ruled in a case brought by The New York Times and other news organisations that the recordings should be made public.

    The Judge will decide whether over 200 other calls from victims inside the club will be made available at a later date.

    The pulse massacre was the worst gun attack in American history and the worst atrocity visited on the LGBT community since the Second World War. Forty-nine people were killed and a further 53 people were injured as the shooter rampaged through the club.
