Name-calling
It’s about time. Channel 4 has rebuked Assed Baig for calling liberal Muslims names like “house Muslim” and “sell-out.” He’s bullied several friends of mine that way.
A Channel 4 reporter has been reprimanded by the broadcaster after claiming British Muslims are ‘sell-outs and Uncle Toms’ if they attend government-organised Islamic events.
Investigative journalist Assed Baig, 34, who was born in Birmingham but now lives in London, has also used the pejorative term ‘house Muslim’ on Twitter in relation to moderate Muslims.
And the former BBC reporter referred to any Muslims who attend British government iftars as ‘Uncle Toms’, which is a derogatory term meaning a black person showing obedience to whites.
…
Mr Baig, whose tweets were reported by the Guido Fawkes political blog, was criticised by some on Twitter today, but backed by others who said ‘keep up the good work’ and praised his ‘excellent reporting’.
But Fiyaz Mugha, founder of Tell Mama, a Government-backed group which tracks anti-Muslim crimes, told MailOnline: ‘The term “house Muslim” effectively is synonymous with someone using house and using the N-word.
‘It means that people are subservient to a white master or a power structure. We think it actually has some racial connotations to it and also in many instances is used to provide a “them and us”.’
Mr Baig doesn’t approve of liberal Muslims.
This is the guy who described Malala Yousafzai as a “tool” for the West.
… government-organised Islamic events.
WTF?
Bet he just despises this woman:

(I, meanwhile, feel humbled by her courage….)
Unfortunately, I fear that Assed Baig has considerable grass roots support. It’s not surprising he’d express such opinions.
Mainstream Muslim advocacy groups, groups like CAIR in America, have had campaigns encouraging Muslims to not co-operate with security organizations such as the FBI.
I think that huge numbers of Muslims in both America and the UK hold opinions little different from those of ISIS.
That the planned memorial for murdered shopkeeper Assad Shah had to be cancelled because of numerous, credible death threats attests to that
Of course he has lots of grassroots support. Islamism is popular. That’s rather the point!
Yes, of course.
Baig is typical of the Muslims paraded about by the Far Left and touted as ‘moderate’
The media, the universities and many so-called progressive groups are chock full of them
This guy worked for the BBC. His reports on all things Muslim are nothing but soft MB-style propaganda.
