Allah Ditta loses no confidence motion at Worcester City Council
3:23pm Tuesday 25th September 2012 in News By Tom Edwards
Councillor Allah Ditta
TONIGHT Councillor Allah Ditta lost a no confidence motion.
The Conservative politician was fighing for his political career, with the motion calling upon him to resign from two key roles following his infamous graveyard dispute.
As first reported in the Worcester News, he was secretly recorded threatening to dig up a dead man's body during a dispute with a grieving family over work on the grave at the city's private Muslim cemetery.
The meeting started at 7pm.

who then went on to enforce this invoice in an aggressive and disgusting way which he has admitted to,in quite clearly the wrong place (Muslim burial grounds)... the fact he is a Muslim is irrelevant!, he could be black, blue, purple with orange spots and believe in father Christmas for all anyone cares! the fact is he has done something wrong.
He should take responsibility for his actions.Be a man!
I also think that despite the fact he was not acting a cllr at the time this whole situation needs to be investigated properly, to relieve the fears of the Worcester people that this is merely a one off, and not just one cherry on an extremely large cake of deception and/criminal behaviours.

To add to this, Cllr Ditta appears to have presented a fraudulant bill with no detail, contact details, company details etc. What would the tax man say?

Right or wrong there is an element in the Islamic culture that is seeking a society where Islamic values dominate Western Europe. And the chances are that they will win as Western culture moves further away from basic the Christian values is is built upon. (I'm not particularly Christian, but the values are the basis of our Society and the basis of my own values).
The Ifti rant is just another drip in the drip drip drip effect that will go on until our Great Great Great Grand-daughters have to wear scarves over their heads.

And no, I'm not being racist, I just fail to understand why people can't use WORDS in their postings instead of random letters.
And yes, I am a dinosaur.

Don't worry - you are not racist, just race aware for which you don't have to apologise. The worst racists are those who blow up or shoot other people because they are either westerners (including those of any colour who live by a western, christian ethos based lifestyle) or of another religion or sect within the same religion to themselves.
On the other hand people who write letters in text speak really should be hung, drawn and quartered .........

Should Worcester City Council now be investigated for failing to follow the Standard Procedures available to them?
I think it's very sad for Worcester that this situation has arisen at all. Obviously mistakes have been made but this all has the feel of a "witch-hunt" (we haven't changed our ideas much in hundreds of years have we?).
As for "Twittering" from the meeting .... all rather pathetic in my opinion - selected comments ONLY recorded so how biased is that!

Human being is a product of his culture, language and faith. There is a positive co-relation between language and culture. If Muslims become notoriously monolingual Brits than there is a likely hood that they will adopt English culture. They will still be the underdogs of the British society. In the past they were victim of ****-bashing in all walks of life by the British society because majority of them were not well versed in local accents. Now Muslim youths born and educated by British education system are being victim of terrorism by British establishment. Thousands of them are being searched by Police in streets and many of them are behind the bar without any trial. A lot of Muslim youths are imprisoned by British courts on the slightest excuses. The number of Muslim prisoners is on the increase in British jails. When they come out of jail they will become real criminals and terrorists while British foreign minister has said that Muslims are law abiding and committed citizens. Bilingual Muslim children need state funded Muslim schools with bilingual Muslim teachers as role models during their developmental periods. A bilingual teacher has the ability to teach bilingually and explain complex concepts to children who have limited understanding of English. Learning in their first language 'raises their self-esteem, self-respect and strengthens their identities in western culture. It will help them to develop their cultural, linguistic and Islamic Identity, otherwise, they will be lost in Western Jungle. According to verities of studies, a child will suffer if he/she finds himself cut off from his/her cultural and linguistic roots. Arabic is our religious language and each and every Muslim must be well versed in Quranic Arabic. This the main reason why I believe that Pakistani parents must find marriage partners from Pakistan for their children. Pakistani children and youths suffer more than others because they find themselves cut off from the literature and poetry. Majority of them are not even well versed in Standard English. This is the main reason why majority of Pakistani children leave schools without good qualification. English is their economic language while Urdu is their social and emotional and Arabic is their religious language. There is no place for a non-Muslim child or a teacher in a Muslim school. Muslim children will get a decent education. Muslim schools turned out balanced citizens, more tolerant of others and less likely to succumb to criminality or extremism. Muslim schools give young people confidence in who they are and an understanding of Islam’s teaching of tolerance and respect which prepares them for a positive and fulfilling role in society. Muslim schools are attractive to Muslim parents because they have better discipline and teaching Islamic values. Children like discipline, structure and boundaries. There are hundreds of state primary and secondary schools where Muslim pupils are in majority. In my opinion all such schools may be opted out to become Muslim Academies.

This story is about an apparently rather dodgy muslim Conservative local politician.
You might want to learn the value of concise postings.
In the meantime, please stop trying to present muslims as victims, and don't even think about trying to get the tax payer to fund special facilities for muslim kids.
Think instead about how minorities are treated in a lot of muslim countries, and about the irrational reaction to that video. Why expect this country to adapt to that?

Maggie, it's called text speak and should be used in TEXTS not in written English.

I think Ifti has let himself down a bit, by veering right off topic from the start and turning it into a platform to vent his anger at Western society.
As far as I see it, the Coucilor has lost the confidence he had built up, and it seems irreconcilable. It happens, and it is nothing to do with religion. It was simply poor judgment and, had he known better, he would not be in this position.
Ifti, you have done more harm than good with that opening post. It was irrelevant to the story and at the best just inflammatory.
Am I a bigot or racist? No. I have not a drop of English blood in me.
Get a grip fella. You're here. If I found myself as revolted by the system as you seem to, I'd have gone elsewhere long ago.
