Amina Ahmed, an employee at the Met Police, is under investigation for apparently saying that supporting Israel should be a ‘hate crime’. The Mail has the story.
Amina Ahmed describes herself on her LinkedIn page as a “leadership program facilitator and project manager” at the Met Police, and seemingly made calls for those who support Israel to be investigated for a “hate crime”.
In an edited comment posted in her name, she wrote: “I think at this point, if anyone openly agrees with the war in Gaza, they should be called out as Islamophobic and inciting hatred against Muslims.
“That should be investigated as extremism. Whether the [counter-terrorism] world decides to act fairly and proportionately and treat IDF support as an extremist ideology, I don’t know.”
The force said it was now looking into Ahmed’s post, with a spokesperson telling MailOnline: “We are aware of this post circulating on social media and are currently reviewing it.”
It comes as a police adviser was sacked over his “apparent antisemitic views” after he was seen leading pro-Palestine chants.
Lawyer Attiq Malik was the Chairman of London Communities Forum – a “strategic advisory body” for Scotland Yard which helps to “shape police policy and procedure at a strategic level”.
Mr. Malik was filmed in 2021 orchestrating the chant ‘From the river to the sea’ – described by Suella Braverman as “a staple of antisemitic discourse”. The slogan is widely interpreted as calling for the destruction of Israel.
The Met said it will be “immediately ceasing” its relationship with Mr. Malik while the force investigates the footage.

What’s good for the goose…Free Speech has lost its value now everyone with a grievance can point the finger at everyone else’s speech and demand intercession by force of law or by employer defenestration.
Sad times. Neither the officer (unless he was in uniform) nor this woman should be sacked for their speech, unless she was abusing her position in office.
Unfortunately as Hate Speech can’t be defined and will always be in the eye of the beholder we are in this mess.
The very concept of hate crime is ridiculous. However, I have no doubt that this person would cry “hate crime” at the drop of a hat. So let her sup a drop of her own medicine.
Oh and as for the Met. Whoever it now serves, it is not the public.
“So let her sup a drop of her own medicine.”
Heres the trap. It’s not ok no matter whose “side” you’re on.
Shucks, are we not even allowed the tiniest bit of schadenfreude?
The beauty of free speech is that it allows people to know who they’re dealing with. I’m not sure she should get fired but people who have positions that are responsible for the health and safety of the public should probably be removed from those positions if they advocate harm to certain groups. Would you feel comfortable if your GP hated white people (or whatever ethnic group you’re from)?
Agreed that’s why I caveated that she may be guilty of abusing her position in office. But so would all those policeman for arresting people for on line posts, wearing badges some people hate, etc.
Cool idea. Can we start with female GPs hating men? Or rather, simply refusing to take them seriously as men who complain are certainly just the usual weaklings making up totally overblown stuff — after all, everybody knows men love to complain about imaginary health problems all the time.
Based on +10 years of experience with this kind in two countries, I’d absolutely support that.
In public services there is a contractual requirement forbidding ‘bringing the organisation in to disrepute.’ It could be argued that her comments have done just that. In the public eye she works for the police.
This “leadership program facilitator and project manager” – another non-job occupier – at the very least needs to be advised to button it while she is employed by the Met.
My thoughts precisely – let’s see how many people are interested in what she has to say as a regular citizen!
She is an employee of the Met Police and as such, her contract requires her to remain impartial, uphold the law, respect diversity and not bring the Met into disrepute.
FAIL.
”Islamophobia is a word created by fascists and used by cowards to manipulate morons.”
Andrew Cummins.
Anybody who uses such a made-up and nonsensical word is a complete prat.
A phobia is an irrational fear of something. Disliking the behaviour of some Muslims does not fit the description. Even disliking Islam itself does not fit. Plenty of people hate what Christianity stands for in their opinion – and that’s not necessarily an irrational fear.
Well exactly, hence why it’s a nonsense word. Similar to ‘Transphobe’. Ridiculous bastardization of the English language by idiot woketards with an agenda to push.
Libera Progressive find a phobia for all non Liberal Progressives. They think we must suffer from some malady or other if we don’t subscribe to their world view. But let’s have a quick look over at San Francisco to see who is really suffering from illness.
She should not be prevented from holding and expressing those views but we cannot have any confidence in a police force which thinks such a person is fit to work there.
Why not? And why the sudden change of mind? The standpoints expressed by these people aren’t exactly new. Everyone knew they were holding them before the current round a kill b, b kill a, a kill more b, b kill more a had started.
Why the festering hell does the Met Police have a “leadership program facilitator and project manager” in the first place?
Excellent question, next question what is it exactly? Sounds made up to me.

A very pertinent, quick read under the circumstances.
The Lozza Fox quote is bang on.
Indeed.
I don’t think there’ll be a whole lot of trouble on the Saturday, when the big pro-Hamas march is taking place, because it’s supposed to be going through a different part of Londonistan. I also don’t think the Met police and Dicktator Khant can afford for any significant trouble to kick off. My main concern would be more the before and after times, when you’re bound to get people wrapped in British flags mingling with terrorist-sympathizers wrapped in Palestinian/Jihadist flags, all packed into the Tube, for instance. I’ve seen footage where these Jew-haters are even stood outside McDonalds and targeting anyone and everyone that comes out. They’re just yobs and chavs, feeling emboldened in intimidating regular passers-by and starting trouble because they’re in a huge crowd. Not exactly doing the whole image of the supposed ’cause’ much good are they?
As for your article, well every nobhead is a keyboard warrior these days, as we’ve seen plenty of on here, but obviously Twitter is a perfect example too. But the reason these Muslims won’t leave if they don’t want to abide by and respect the laws of the land is because they’re aim is ultimately to replace and, when they’re a majority in a country and it is effectively deemed ‘conquered’, they want to establish an Islamic State and implement Sharia Law. Nowadays they wouldn’t get away with killing you if you didn’t submit and convert ( actually I’m not overly confident on that one ) but you would end up living as a ‘dhimmi’, a second class citizen in your own country. Straight from the horse’s mouth with this fanatic in Germany, but it does answer the question of why don’t they just move to a Muslim country if they hate the West so much? ( 2mins );

Thanks Mogs. This is a few years old but very relevant in today’s world. At what part of the scale are we at in the UK?

Re this weekend – seriously, I believe there will be fatalities this weekend and Fishy and his mob know this and it is exactly what they want. A further tightening of the screws can then be applied. Agent provocateurs will be deployed to start things off. There may well be nationwide clashes.
It is going to be messy.
Cheers for the share. Yes I might have to revise my above comment going by this horrendous vid clip. Just look how completely cowed the police are and the sheer lack of respect shown! If this were a white bloke swearing and yelling I’m confident she’d be in cuffs before you can say, ”I don’t eat pigs!”
They’re looking more and more like clowns wherever you look, getting walked all over by these scumbags.

The video is shocking for the total lack of activity by plod. If those people had been white I doubt the coppers would have been so damned drowsy.
Everything I see on the Internet suggests this weekend is going to come to a boil with damn near civil war breaking out.
This ‘counter-protestor’ has the right idea! LOL The comments sections says it all;

We are not a Nation anymore. Just a Region of the “International Community”.
They’ll probably make her the next Chief Constable.
Ticks all the boxes.
Amina Ahmed – explains all.
All part of diversity and inclusion.
Well after a great deal of internal struggle and dither, I’ve just signed the October Declaration so I guess that makes me guilty of a hate crime in this woman’s pov.
Do I give a stuff?
Nope.
If she made that comment in her official capacity (and as it was LinkedIn she arguably was) then she should be sacked. If it was a personal comment, then no, but it should be noted on her personnel file.
We have imported all of this sectarian hate and clutter to our shores and we will pay and are paying for it——-As the song said “There May be Trouble Ahead.”
There you have it – multiculturalism in action. No going back now but Enoch was right all along.
