Asghar Bukhari Has A Vile And Unhinged Twitter Meltdown
The name of Asghar Bukhari enjoyed brief infamy this last week or so after he publicly claimed to have had his footwear stolen from his home, in the dead of night - by 'Zionists'! This spawned the deliciously rewarding hash tag '#MossadStoleMyShoe' on Twitter. You can hear me discuss this story on my 'Taking The Myth' Podcast (Skip to 5:20):
Now, it's an unfortunate reality that ranting, Jew-obsessed Islamists are not exactly a novelty, and as such, would not usually merit the extra attention this blog may afford them.
What makes this particular instance of crackpottery noteworthy however is that Asghar Bukari is a founder of 'The Muslim Public Affairs Committee' (MPACUK) and a go-to favourite of Sky News. Indeed, I've previously exposed his fellow MPACUK colleague Raza Nadim's inability to condemn the practice of stoning people to death.
My interaction with Bukhari began after stumbling across the following sorry scene in Manchester's Northern Quarter on Saturday evening, to which I couldn't resist the opportunity to poke a little fun his way:

The responses I received however, were somewhat unexpected to say the least:

He implies Britain's days are numbered (UPDATE: See Footnote)[1. 22/06/2015 - On reflection, it seems more likely Bukhari has assumed I'm an Israeli, for no good reason whatsoever. This baffling and contradictory exchange was difficult to decipher to say the least given he used the terms 'your country' and 'your state' when addressing me, someone from the U.K. - when talking about Israel. This was further confounded by his random use of an anti-British meme during the exchange]. Then a rather sinister threat is made:

Bukhari seems to take joy in telling me that even a 'loaded gun' won't help me when faced with this predicted Islamic Takeover of his.

It's worth pointing out 'my' country is also Bukhari's of England, but he appears to think he's talking to an Israeli. The next accusation is truly bizarre:

I am now referred to as a 'ZioNazi', linked to an image of a bloody child's shoe and told I 'usually murder' children. I tell him he's embarrassing himself:

I remind him he fronts the 'Muslim Public Affairs committee'.

Jews firmly on the 'brain'.

I'm now threatened with 'Hell' and an offer of being 'pissed on' is made. Remarkable.
Another detractor is told they 'look like a pedo'.

I think his own words are testament to the suggestion that Mr. Bukhari should never again be afforded a platform on a national news network.
