There’s a new version of the ‘Punish a Muslim Day’ letter doing the rounds. Like the first one it is the subject of hand-wringing by the liberal-left, members of the Quangocracy and various Muslims. However, just like the original Punish a Muslim Day letter, this is without a doubt a hoax and possibly a hoax concocted by Muslims themselves.

The letter, image below, is done in the same font and style as the previous letter but there are aspects of it that some commentators such as Raheem Kassam have said point to a Muslim originator.

Mr Kassam pointed out that no counterjihad type or an individual who hates Islam would use the terms ‘Masjid’ or ‘Holy Quran’ in a letter of this type. These are the words that a Muslim would use not a non Muslim opposed to Islam. I for example, despise the ideology of Islam and would never use the above term to describe the Koran. I’ll call it ‘The Koran’, ‘The Quran’, ‘Islamic scripture’ or ‘the Islamic big book of death’, but I would never describe this foul book as being ‘holy’. For me to use the word ‘holy’ to describe the Koran would be desecrating the word ‘holy’ itself.

Mr Kassam said on Twitter: “Calling BULLSHIT on #PunishAMuslinDay2 letters circulating. No one who hates Islam would call it the “Holy Quran” nor would they use “Masjid”. These letters are clearly hoaxes written by other Muslims.” He’s dead right there in my opinion, this letter is an obvious fake put together by Muslims themselves. It is very interesting, and indeed highly suspicious, that these letters went out shortly after the Conservative Party had been discussing the issue of ‘Islamophobia’. The timing is so convenient and so calculated to show that yes, ‘Islamophobia’ is real, that it is easy to see that this is highly likely to be an orchestrated hoax designed to provide a form of ‘Islamophobia’ on demand.

It’s not just Mr Kassam who has noticed this anomaly in the Punish a Muslim Day II letter, the writer and campaigner Robert Spencer, a man with very great knowledge of Islam, has also expressed doubts about its veracity.

Apart from the use of honorific language to describe the Koran, which both Mr Kassam and Mr Spencer noticed and commented on, the first letter seems to have only been sent to Muslims, rather than the sort of people who might be incited to carry out some of the instructions in the letter. Why is that? Surely if the letter writer was wanting to incite the sort of violence that is claimed it is then why send it only to potential ‘victims’? Why not send it to the sort of people who might carry out this sort of thing? It really does not make sense. If the first one was plainly a hoax, probably done by Muslims themselves, then it’s very likely that this is the same.

Robert Spencer writing for Jihad Watch said:

The first “Punish A Muslim Day” letter was almost certainly a hoax created by Muslims in order to perpetuate the myth that Muslims are victims of wholesale persecution, discrimination and harassment in the West, as it seems to have been sent only to Muslims, not to the “racist” yahoos it was supposed to be inciting to violence.

This new one is quite clearly and indisputably a hoax. As Raheem Kassam points out, “no one who hates Islam would call it the ‘Holy Quran’ nor would they use ‘Masjid’. These letters are clearly hoaxes written by other Muslims.”

I agree with Mr Spencer that this latest Punish a Muslim Day is a hoax which makdes it all the more disturbing that members of Britain’s ‘Quangocracy’ are taking the matter seriously as Mr Spencer points out.

Mr Spencer added:

That did not, however, stop Nazir Afzal, an adviser to the Welsh government, from posting it on Twitter and claiming it was authentic.

I must admit it is amusing in a way to see Mr Afzal, who has previously come out and criticised Tommy Robinson for jumping the gun with his judgements in relation to Muslim rape gang trials, doing the same over this obviously fake poison pen letter. It is also profoundly disturbing that someone of Mr Afzal’s stature, a former Chief Prosecutor for the Crown Prosecution Service in the North West of England, should be taken in so easily by what is so obviously complete bullshit.

This ‘Punish a Muslim Day’ letter is like its predecessor a fake and should be treated as such. It’s a card played in a political poker game and nothing more. Mr Afzal has promised that this time the perpetrator will be found but if, as is likely, it turns out to be a Muslim who has concocted this hoax how likely do you the reader feel that it is that we the public will be informed of this fact or whether any legal action against the writer will be quietly dropped by the Establishment in order to sustain the fiction that Britain is mired in ‘Islamophobia’? This latest ‘Punish a Muslim Day’ letter is crap and should be treated as such.
