Reader Thabet writes to point out that Damian Thompson of The Telegraph blog has posted an allegation that a Muslim horde “lay siege” last year to Liverpool Hospital in Sydney. Thompson, who somewhat ironically cites an interest in “conspiracy theories” and “fake history”, writes:
After the death of a young Muslim man in a car crash in Sydney last month, an Islamic crowd invaded a hospital in order to stop medical tests being carried out on the body in contravention of Sharia law, according to the Dhimmi Watch website.
If the report is true, then this is another example of a global campaign by fundamentalist Muslims to replace civil law by Sharia - a process that has already taken root in British cities.
The anonymous report on this supposed siege begins:
The antecedent to the Muslim incursion on the Hospital came about on Monday the 17 December last, when a young Muslim male was airlifted to the Liverpool Hospital’s emergency ward by helicopter. The 19-year-old had been in a serious car accident, his car left the road and crashed into a tree … he died of his injuries, and it seems he and his hijab-wearing girl friend had been celebrating the end of Ramadan.
If the victim and his “hijab-wearing girl friend” were, as the anonymous author claims, celebrating the end of Ramdan when they had a serious car accident, why did this obviously critically injured young man wait two months before he was admitted into a hospital?
In 2007, Eid ul-Fitr (the celebration marking the end of Ramadan) was on the 11th of October. This man was supposedly admitted into Liverpool Hospital on 17th December, 2007.
We know that waiting lists at Liverpool Hospital are long, but that long?
UPDATE: Damian Thompson has seen the error of his ways and concedes he did the wrong thing by promoting an unsubstantiated rumour on the Daily Telegraph website.

Damian Thompson is a complete cretin.
He has attacked other Muslims sites for being…well…Muslims.
He had a go at UmmahPulse a few months back. The UmmahPulse response is below.

Anyone looking at his blog will realise that he is a complete waste of space. His blog is basically a collection of anti-Muslim rants accompanied by posts demanding that the Catholic mass be read in Latin.
But I suppose, what can you expect from the Telegraph?
Eid al-Adha
(Festival of Sacrifice)
Dec. 20, 2007
NOTE: All holidays begin at sundown on the evening before the date given. The Islamic calendar is based on lunar observation; thus, the above dates may vary by one or two days. Dates apply to North America.
Err yeah so what Warner?
Eid al-Adha doesn’t mark the end of Ramadan. The report is obviously rubbish. They included an amazing amount of detail (like they somehow knew the girl with the guy was his hijab wearing girlfriend, they counted the number of people who arrived and translated the Egyptian taxi driver’s comments into English) but they made a mistake with one crucial detail.
One word. pwned
if you’re confused by all this, this diagram should help.
I just checked Factiva and there isn’t a single media report of this or anything like this. You would think scores of angry Muslims blocking the entrance to the emergency department of one of the biggest hospitals in Sydney would rate a mention. The police get called to a major altercation like this and there isn’t even a mention of it on the police news website.
So how do we explain this?
Simple. It’s proof that the Australian media, police, every person who drove down Elizabeth St in Liverpool that day, ambulance drivers, hospital staff and every other patient other than our trusty Arabic speaking Christian narrator is part of Damian’s “global campaign” to “replace civil law by shariah” too.
I found the story a few days ago on Jihadwatch and went looking for the source. It seemed to be incredibly well written and yet there was not a word about it in the media. Pretty hard to believe something like that could be swept under the rug.You might, just might, be willing to believe the Dutch would be too PC to print such a story, but Today Tonight? No one has provided any proof or anything more credible, and even people on this hard-right-wing site are skeptical:

The git has recanted.
Victory!
Nice work guys!
The author of the report says that the Muslims were blocking access to the hospital. Anyone familiar with the layout of Liverpool Hospital would know that the emergency section has a different entrance on a different side of the building to the rest of the hospital.
It’s laughable really.
[…] ← Muslims “lay siege” to Liverpool Hospital? […]
“…to replace civil law by Sharia - a process that has already taken root in British cities.”
Hate to be pedantic, but we have common law in Aus, not civil.
Twitface.
