Scottish National Party Leader Visits Mosque, Warns Against Voting UKIP

Alex Salmond visits mosque

After suggesting that Scotland was a “nation of drunks” and a poll that showed a third of Scotland would vote “No” on independence because of him, the Scottish National Party’s Alex Salmond put in a mosque appearance to denounce UKIP.

Alex Salmond has warned Muslim and Asian voters that, unless they back the Scottish National party, Ukip could take one of Scotland’s six European parliament seats in Thursday’s elections.

Speaking after a visit to Glasgow Central Mosque on Friday, the first minister said the Eurosceptic party could win a Scottish seat with only a small minority of votes, squeezing out the struggling Liberal Democrats.

The SNP’s third European candidate is a Muslim businesswoman, Tasmina Ahmed Sheikh, a former Tory council candidate. “Ukip are mentioned frequently in discussions on the doorstep,” she said. “It’s a matter of concern for the community and the first minister is right to be concerned about it.”

Tasmina Ahmed Sheikh has been through Labour and a Conservative so SNP is getting everyone else’s leftovers. As usual.

Sheikh is involved in promoting Islamic law in Scotland and has accused Scotland of a growing Islamophobia. She has claimed that Salmond’s independence bid will help keep Islamophobia from spilling over from England into Scotland.

Salmond and Sheikh are claiming that Scottish independence would protect Islam in Scotland. That’s what the SNP has warped Scottish nationalism into.

Mr Salmond heard how activists posing as military personnel entered the Central Mosque in Glasgow and handed out Bibles.

The First Minister said he was aware of the incident and a similar one in Cumbernauld. He said: “The mosque was effectively invaded as part of the election campaign. I can draw the concerns of the community to the attention of the Chief Constable.”

He said the incidents would be treated with “great seriousness”

Mr Salmond added: “Our diversity is our great strength and there is no better example of that than the Scots Asian community which has thrived in Scotland and helped to shape our country for the better.”

If Scotland’s strength is diversity… then what is Scotland? A piece of land and not much else.

Meanwhile the phony figures that Putin-admirer Salmond was claiming would make independence feasible are collapsing.

“Official figures show that proceeds to the Treasury from Scotland’s share of North Sea fields fell 37 per cent, from almost £7billion in 2012 to £4.4billion last year. The drop saw total public sector income north of the Border shrivel for a second consecutive year.”

“These latest figures show that they are miles and miles away. The SNP must say how they expect to fill an ever-expanding hole in an independent Scotland’s future spending plans.”

Salmond was promising 100 percent electrical energy generation by alternative energy. That isn’t working out too well either… though it is costing plenty.

    Mr. Greenfield, I know that the majority of Scots support remaining part of the United Kingdom. I also know that there are more SNP voters against separation than Labour voters for it. A poll taken last year showed that 17%-nearly 1 in 5 SNP voters oppose having Scotland secede from the UK, while the same poll indicated that only 11%-slightly over 1 in 10 Labour voters support separation. Also keep in mind that the SNP is a radical left-wing party that behaves no different from the American Left. I also know that the Unionists are generally more conservative politically than the separatists. We must support the Unionists efforts to help keep Scotland part of the United Kingdom, America’s closet ally.

      Indeed. I know it quite well

    Fool. This man has entered the enemy’s hideout. Muslim are spies from within. It disgusts me when politicians appeal to, or appease the Muslim population. Not one single follower of Mohammed should be resident on either North American or European soil.

    The only way to “keep Islamophobia from spilling over from England into Scotland” is to keep Islam from spilling over from anywhere into Scotland.
    When are Muslims going to get the revelation “we have met the enemy, and he is us”?

    Salmond is nothing more than a communist disguised as a nationalist, where is Edward Longshanks when you really need him.

    • Softly Bob

      Dead unfortunately, but I’m sure his spirit lives on in somebody somewhere.

      • Drakken

        When oh when, are these bloody nightmares that keep coming going to end?

      Or Robert the Bruce…

      You are right. The SNP and other Celtic nationalist parties in the UK Communist in nature while the Unionist parties are generally more conservative politically.
