Croydon Islamorealist to Sue Dhimmi Police over False Arrest.

After the London Metropolitan Police's embarrassing climbdown over Matthew Doyle's arrest, for the grave offence of offending Muslims on Twitter & linking the Brussels attacks to Islam, heaven forfend, Mr Doyle is pledged to pursue the matter through the courts. Hopefully, he will win substantial damages.

While the details of what he said were counterproductive: apologists, taqiyya-merchants & useful leftist idiots portray the Islamorealist argument as being founded upon ignorance, stupidity & bigotry rather than knowledge of Islam's repulsive nature & the link between scripture & the atrocities which we witness, the authorities cannot be allowed to suppress free speech. So, give Matthew P Doyle (@MatthewDoyle31) all your moral support, after reading this account of tyranny & persecution from The Guardian yesterday (hat-tip to BanTheBBC @BanTheBBC):

Man who 'confronted Muslim woman' over Brussels says police acted foolishly
Matthew Doyle to ‘launch formal complaint’ against Metropolitan police after it was forced to withdraw charges

A man who was mistakenly charged by the Metropolitan police after claiming on Twitter that he confronted a Muslim woman over the Brussels terror attacks has said he will launch a formal complaint against the force.

Matthew Doyle, from south Croydon, provoked anger on social media after he tweeted about the encounter with the woman. He said the woman gave a “mealy-mouthed” response after he demanded she “explain” the Brussels attacks.

Police charged him with an offence under the Public Order Act on Thursday. But on Friday night they were forced to withdraw the accusations, admitting they had no power to charge him in the first place.

Doyle said police had bowed to a social media row. “In reality, the Met added ammunition to whatever I said,” he said. “Concurrently, their press office should be cautioned about issuing largely self-congratulatory statements and then being forced to backtrack.” He added: “They smelt blood, but got egg on both their face and reputation.”

Doyle had been due to appear at Camberwell Green magistrates court on Friday. But the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) later confirmed it did not agree with the Met’s decision, adding that the force did not have the legal power to bring the charges.

Police then released a second statement announcing that the charges against Doyle had been dropped and admitting they had had no power to charge him in the first place. It said: “Following discussion with the Crown Prosecution Service, Mr Doyle is no longer charged with the offence and will not be appearing at court.

“Police may not make charging decisions on offences under Section 19 of the Public Order Act.”

The CPS guidance on its website about racist and religious crime states that a charge under the act can only be prosecuted with consent of the attorney general and requires a referral to the counter-terrorism division to be dealt with by a specialist prosecutor. The offence carries a maximum jail term of seven years.

Doyle’s tweet on Wednesday read: “I confronted a Muslim woman yesterday in Croydon. I asked her to explain Brussels. She said ‘Nothing to do with me’. A mealy mouthed reply.”

Initially, Twitter users mocked Doyle for his tweet, posting hundreds of parody versions, however later tweets where Doyle referred to Muslims as “towel heads” were met with anger.

Asked if he regretted his original tweets, he said: “I said how I felt at that moment in time. If anyone fanned the flames, it was the nameless Twitter trolls who smelt a lynching on their hands.

“For the Met to bow to social media rows, it is not only foolish of them but I will be making a complaint against them and [claiming for] damages for trashing my flat, taking all my electronic stuff from my flat and forcing me to leave London.”

He said his case had been “badly handled” and complained of his treatment at the police station. He said: “Denied a shave, shower, food etc, I was stripped of any dignity to appear at Camberwell court without looking like a dishevelled hobo, which I am not.”

Doyle also explained the details of his interaction with the unnamed woman. He claims he had a “polite conversation” with a British Muslim after approaching her on Wednesday morning.

“We had a polite conversation and moved on. I thanked her for talking to me,” Doyle said. “The conversation took place in south Croydon. If I was being either threatening or racist, she was free to report me.”

In its statement, the Metropolitan police said it would consult further with the CPS over the issue.
