*Thread* Miqdaad Versi is a sort of Mary Whitehouse for our times. He is a bully, hassling media outlets day in and day out on behalf of the "Centre for Media Monitoring", a venture of the Muslim Council of Britain, an Islamist pressure group. 1/10 
But his goal is not quaintly prim propriety. No, one of his key targets is people who work against extremists. He will muzzle them if he can.
Consider Interpal. Here he crows about it hassling the Jewish Chronicle (on a technicality, actually). 2/10

Interpal was named as a "Specially Designated Global Terrorist" by the USA in 2003. The US Treasury called it "a principal charity utilized to hide the flow of money to Hamas". 3/10

Or perhaps we should give Miqdaad the benefit of the doubt?
Surely it is normal, quite normal, for aid workers in Gaza to be given pride of place next to Hamas leader Haniyeh at a reception? Here are Interpal trustees Ibrahim Hewitt and Essam Mustafa in Gaza, with Haniyeh. 4/10

Or to chant for Hamas ("victory or martyrdom!") in a ceremony with Haniyeh? Once again Essam Mustafa is given pride of place to Haniyeh's right. 5/10
And don't typical charity workers in Gaza get a proud tour of the homes of the terrorist group's top "martyrs", once again in the company of Haniyeh? 6/10
Here's another scene from perfectly normal charity work in Gaza - paying respects at the tomb of the former Hamas leader Yassin. Ibrahim Hewitt is on the left. By the way, fourth from left is the founder of Islam Channel, Mohamed Ali Harrath. 7/10
Interpal juniors get a chance too. Zaid Hassan of Birmingham, for example, is in the middle in the photo above. The next photos show him overjoyed to meet the Great One, paying his respects to Rantissi, another former Hamas leader, and joining a Hamas rally in Gaza. 8/10
Ibrahim Dar of Bradford had his happy chance too. In his spare time, he used to distribute tapes of the al-Qaeda leader Anwar al-Awlaki to Muslims in Bradford and beyond. 9/10
There's more, but you get the picture. And it's all just peachy, right? Miqdaad Versi would never spin and bully for extremists, would he. No, the real problem here is people who report on extremists. They are the true villains. Of course they are. 10/10
