"The heroin trade, a crime against humanity – time for Muslims to apologise"

Not my phrase, but rather that of the BNP. That was the headline they used in an leaflet recently, trying to link the heroin trade with the Muslim religion. Says the Beeb; "Parents of a heroin addict are to take legal action against the British National Party for using a picture of their dead daughter. Rachel Whitear, 21, was found dead at her flat in Exmouth, Devon, in May 2000, holding a capped syringe. The photograph, released by her Herefordshire parents to educate people on drugs, was used by Lancashire BNP members on a leaflet. The BNP's deputy leader said they would not apologise." Click here for more details...

Is there honestly no low that these racist bastards won't seep to? For any political party, even one as contemptuous as the BNP, to use an image like this for political propganda... I'm absolutely sickened, frankly. Here's hoping she screws them for every penny they've got.

Over to you, everyone.
Beep boop. I'm a bot.

    Whenever a claim like this comes up I'm always reminded of the Opium Wars. Let's not forget that the British Empire fought two wars against China (1839 to 1842 and 1856 to 1860) when the Chinese tried to stop the British smuggling opium from British India into China. Yes, we are the proud nation that directly and openly fought two wars to preserve illegal drug running.

    To be honest I've heard some weird stuff in my life from the BNP but I'd have been less surprised by Nick Griffin revealing a mixed-raced love child than by this frankly bizarre attempt at gutter barrel scraping.

    Not me!

    And ffs. LOL. Foot - mouth.

    Yeah you know. Muslims deal smack all the time, like. Where else did Mustaine get his from?:rolleyes:

    I think we should make all the Hells Angels appologise for Meth. Because they are associated in some way with it, therefore, let's see the BNP do that. I'd love it. They'd get fucked up.

    I'd like to see how Nick Griffin linked drug dealing with Islam. Is this leaflet available to read online anywhere? I've never heard any Imam anywhere in the world encourage drug use or drug dealing. Drugs fall under the category of 'intoxicants' so they are a definate no no (haram). I've heard Nick Griffin make some fairly accurate criticisms of Islam from time to time, but in this instance he's talking out of his ass.

    If Nick Griffin was trying to suggest that a lot of the drug dealers are Pakistani/Muslim, then firstly he needs to prove it... and even if its true then so what? Its not as if they're being inspired by their culture/religion to deal in drugs. Just lock up the dealers whatever their race/ethnicity/religion.

    Yeah I saw this - as Jim has already pointed out (i'm not going to bury people in history - come to Drugs board if you want that :D) the imperial relationship with opium that our country has places us in no position to criticise other cultures on state sponsored drug dealing.

    Oh and also Iran has the highest population of heroin addicts in the world (like waaaaaay higher than any other country) - despite massive social and cultural taboos they have one of the most progressive treatment programmes in the world.

    They have this not because they're a crazy 'out-there' liberal country - they are doing the only thing that works to help a country drowning in the tide of heroin flowing through from neighbors to the west.

    That's because the UK forces know full well that if you destroy the only crop which will stop them starving you will end up with a lot more people hating you.

    As for the point about Islam and heroin, I suppose it largely comes from 'Muslim' nations, but thats about the only link I can think of.

    Colombia is a largely Catholic country, should we blame the vatican for cocaine?

    You're right, clearly the actual truth is that Gordon Brown is the biggest heroin dealer in the history of the World. You're turning into Clandestine.

    Another reason not to vote for him and his cronies.

    I haven't been able to see the leaflet anywhere yet. Even the BNP's own website doesn't seem to feature it, though it does feature about one million other stories from the past week about Muslims. (incidentally, isn't it a little worrying that theirs is the most popular political party website in the UK?)
