As Scotland votes on independence (defeated), in a campaign led by Scottish First Minister Alex Salmond and a coterie of advisors, few can claim more influence than Muslim member of the Scottish Parliament Humza Yousaf.
Breitbart (h/t Hanna) Yousaf was recently described by the BBC’s Andrew Neil as “the power behind Alex Salmond”. But how much do we know about the 29-year-old chalked up to be an independent Scotland’s Foreign Secretary and perhaps even Prime Minister.

But Yousaf was willing to go further than his contemporaries to get what he wanted. The Guardian reports he joined a human blockade of the Charing Cross exit of the M8 motorway. In 2012 he described his experiences: “We had our two hours, freezing our arses off. And that was it: I was hooked.”
Initially he was attracted to the Scottish National Party’s opposition to the War on Terror, but he also became interested in its socialist views. Like many in the party he sees leaving the United Kingdom as a good way to push a much more left-wing pro-Islam agenda in Scotland.

Prior to his election to the Scottish Parliament in 2011, Yousaf had been a media spokesman for Islamic Relief (see below), a charity that has been accused on a number of occasions of being a front group for radical Islamism. Yousaf was a volunteer for Islamic Relief since the age of 10.
Yousaf was also heavily involved in a community radio station for over a decade and helped organise food parcels for asylum seekers. After just one year in the Scottish Parliament, he was appointed Minister for External Affairs and International Development, equivalent to Foreign Secretary. This senior role is bound to make him a genuine contender for Prime Minister once Alex Salmond steps out of the way. This would make him the first Muslim head of government in Europe since the Crusades.

But his rise to the top has not been without its hiccups. He was also embroiled in a financial scandal after his cousin Osama Saeed – a former Muslim Brotherhood spokesman – was awarded £400,000 for a Muslim festival entitled “IslamExpo”. Furthermore, the Scottish Herald reported on what became known as a “lunchgate” scandal, where Saeed and Yousaf collaborated to fundraise on the back of cash for access. “The auctioneer was Humza Yousaf, who works for both Salmond and Sturgeon at Holyrood. “Yousaf’s patter was wasn’t subtle. The link between cash, parliament and the ministers’ time was explicit.”
It is unclear what Saeed’s group, the Scottish Islamic Foundation, is doing now but in the past it has been accused of having extremist links. When they met with the British government they took Mohammed Sawalha – the subject of a BBC Panorama expose into Islamist terrorist group Hamas – with them. “The two men travelled to Sawalha’s home. His visitor’s name was Mohammed Salah. Salah’s mission was to distribute funds. Sawalha told him who to meet in the Palestinian territories…. With Sawalha’s agreement Salah began distributing about a quarter of a million dollars to local Hamas operatives. “
Yousaf is happily married to Gail Lythgoe, a red-headed Muslim convert. He recently called for Scotland to take in Palestinian refugees, and urged a full arms embargo of the State of Israel.
NOT JUST IN SCOTLAND: Islamic radicals target spain independence parties

Islamic Relief Worldwide, a British charity accused of links to terrorism, was presented with £398,000 of the taxpayers’ money by the Scottish Government last year, as part of its £9 million International Development Fund.
The funding was announced by Scottish politician Humza Yousaf, formerly the Media spokesperson for Islamic Relief Worldwide, and currently a Scottish National Party Member of the Scottish Parliament and Minister for External Affairs and International Development. This grant comes in addition to the European Union’s grant of €22 million provided to Islamic Relief Worldwide between 2007 and 2011.
In November 2012, the Swiss Bank UBS closed the account of, and blocked all donations to, Islamic Relief due to “counter-terror concerns.”
…………………………….

A considerable number of Islamic Relief officials are also connected to extremist groups:
- Ibrahim El-Zayat, a trustee of Islamic Relief, is a leader in both the European and the German Muslim Brotherhood, an extremist Islamist organization with branches all around the world.
- Dr. Ahmed Al-Rawi, the former head of the Federation of Islamic Organizations in Europe (FIOE) and the Muslim Association of Britain (MAB), was also previously a director of Islamic Relief. FIOE is a leading advocate of jihadist Egyptian scholar, Yusuf Al-Qaradawi.
- Issam Al-Bashir, a former Director of Islamic Relief, is the former Minister of Religious Affairs in the Sudan and has held many positions associated with the global Muslim Brotherhood.
- Dr. Hani Al-Banna, the co-founder of Islamic Relief Worldwide, was formerly affiliated with Muslim Aid, a London-based Islamic “charity” which was previously a “partner organization” of the Al-Salah Islamic Association. The US Government has officially designated Al Salah a terrorist entity.

SC HUMZA YOUSAF IS WELL KNOWN FOR HIS HIDDEN AGENDA WITHIN THE GLASGOW MUSLIM COMMUNITY.
SADLY SALMOND AND RED NIC STURGEON ARE RUNNING AFTER THE ISLAMIC VOTE IN SCOTLAND AT ANY COST.
This Fraudster Humza Yousaf had the Effrontery to adress the Je Suis Charlierally on the steps of the Royal concernt Hall,in Glagow on 11h Jan!I I left in disgust after tellin a few people that he was an Islamist.The Scottish press agian feted this nonentity reporting his hypocrtical words of nonsenical “condolence”. This Lackey of the SNP was literally laughing at the dead. .Unbelievably NO press outlet would comment on his Islamist past.A bised ,paid for press and media is NOT a free press. Je Suis Charlie!
Happy to oblige. Anything that will divide and weaken the kufar is good for Islam. When will this era be over and done?
The stuff of bulimia ! Seeing a filthy muslim wearing plaid ! !
What happened to the legendary “Canny Scot” ? Anyone who voted for a muslim might as well be British.
Y0u peo0ple need to call up Bare Naked Islam and see the truth about these barbaric,uncivilized, donkey diddling, head banging, butt waving, inbred, terrorists.
With your liberal, under reporting, slanted press, BNI may be he only chance you have to see the truth.
So now we can see who has been whispering poison in his ear.
As Salmond always says, everyone is welcome in Scotland…except the English and the Jews. There is a lot of anti-semitism in Scotland with councils only too willing to fly the Palestinian flag and support anti-Israeli marches.
The way any questions or opposition to ‘Yes’ were dealt with was identical to what happens when Islam is questioned. Or for that matter Communism and Nazism too.
But it would be Islamophobic to suggest that a muslim in power would use his political influence to further an Islamic agenda. Wouldn’t it?
It is always easier to take over a small country than a large one. Especially one whose government would have been in turmoil, had no armed forces and an under-manned police force.
His stated aim from the start was to flood the country with immigrants, join the EU, and increase benefit payments to appease those minorities who can’t work on religious grounds and breed like rabbits.
Look around Europe and you see that uncontrolled immigration has brought with it a rising crime rate, rising unemployment (because they don’t come to work), and to give up an elected government in Westminster for appointed rulers in Brussels would have been madness and nothing to do with independence.
His statement today, that independence could be declared without a referendum and a complete disregard for the majority sounded just like a call for a ‘Scottish Spring’.
Wonder where that idea came from?
Salmond …. Scottish Salmon …. and …. Islamic Almonds …. sauteed’ in Turkish olive oil !
Although it didn’t smell right when it showed up in the lamestream, NOTHING was said about any Muslim being behind the break-away movement in Scotland. I didn’t have a clue and now it all makes perfect sense. I was blind and now I see. Amazing what a difference a little information can make. The Scots must be stupider than I thought.

I was wondering if there was any muslime insanity attached to Scotland wanting independence. I figured if there was, BNI would surely let us know, and sure enough…there is. Yep, bait and switch, glad it failed.
Brenda, it came as a total surprise to me, I am sorry to say. I can usually smell these things out.
Brenda…..my thoughts exactly.Like I’ve said before,there will be a day when all muslim collaborators will be hunted down like the traitors that they are.Bet there was a lot of vote rigging going on too.It turned my stomach to see Cameron going up to Scotland and pleading like a big girl for them to stay,get a bloody grip man!
Brenda I wondered the same and when I saw this post it confirmed my suspicion. Lucky most of the Scotts voted No. If they voted Yes Scotland would head straight down the toilet.
This is how they move into your country. VERY, VERY SLOWLY. At first you say ,”I sure am glad they are not in my country!” then you say “I sure am glad they are not in my state!” then you say “I sure am glad they are not in my town!” and before you no it, they have just raped you daughter. America hates Islam because, Islam hates it more. MUSLIMS GET THE HELL OUT! I HATE YOU!
I kind of thought the Scottish Independence Movement would have been a great thing to incite “change”. Little did I know it was the “hope and change” kind of change.
Instigated by the Lefties would surely lead to disaster.
I’m not sure I agree with this article.
It is true that a lot of the Scottish pro independence movement was an extreme LEFT wing desire for a BIGGER welfare state. A lot of Scots reasoned that if they didn’t have to pay for foreign wars, nuclear bombs, military bases AND got to keep their own oil and mineral wealth they could turn an independent Scotland into a socialists utopia. This extreme left mudslime seems to be a part of that group.
BUT
There is (was) also an independence faction that didn’t like the ‘multicultural’ policies of London. On average Scotland is WHITER, OLDER, and RICHER than ‘Londonstan’. There aren’t enough mudslims in Scotland (yet) to drag down wages while driving up crime and exploding the welfare rolls. Many pro independence Scots saw the referendum as a way to leave BOTH the unaccountable ultra-liberal Londonstan and the EVEN MORE unaccountable EU with one simple vote.
So you see the pro independence movement is (was) more like a coalition of the RIGHT, LEFT, (and others) than a monolithic force, You have chosen to focus on ONE part of that coalition, which is too simplified (and lopsided) this time.
—
“Leave the EU and Lindonstan with ONE vote: 45% YES. Historic”
A huge goal of Alex Salmond and the Scottish National Party is to join the anti-freedom, nation-destroying EU monster.
“Divide and conquer” is their methodology and it almost worked. Ain’t that tough shit!
Independence is great but it has to be for the RIGHT reasons and not for some hidden agenda that’s propped up by any one party or interest.
To throw off the yolk of one, in favor of the chains of another, is NOT a good trade.

To answer your question, IF ONE gets EDUCATED and BELIEVES THAT the “seal of the prophets” the wanna-be messiah for the WHOLE world was really called by “allah” to build the KINGDOM on earth, then one HAS not option as to FOLLOW the example as set by “Qathem”. Self-Radicalization is the new buzz word trying to get the ISLAMIC Scriptures off the hook.
But it IS ALL in them EITHER ONE believes it, or reject it, but muslimes still didn’t get it that they fell for a CON-MAN.
If there is NO God, Qathem lied his gawd into existence (or was delusional)
And if there is a God and satan, then the devil used Qathem as his false messiah and Anti-christ figure…
Once you let them into your country your life gets diminished.
I’m a Scot and a nationalist get your facts right and keep your nose out of our countries business FUCKWIT
masseyfergy68 – these people are trying to protect democracy and your rights to vote. Spend some time learning about the Global Jihadist movement. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YVzfz6h7ZSI
margolis, masseyfergy68 is probably a muslim. You can sense the extreme hate emanating from this person. Scotland belongs to God — NOT Islam.
How did that vote work out for ya?
So sad you lost. Would have been great to see you sink under the European Union, the master dictatorship.
Since few European countries can deal with them any longer, you would have been flooded with Somalis and Syrian-Iraqi-Afghan-Nigerian refugees/immigrants. All these people crossing over into Scotland… all that welfare to be handed out to all these prolific newcomers.
It also explains where that Scottish Jewish and Israel hatred sentiment comes from. One knows something is wrong when a small town makes a show of burning all books authored by Jews.
Yep, writes just like a Muslim.
Financing terrorism is an international crime. Every law-abiding Briton want the Muslim terrorist-loving criminals in the Scottish Government who finance muslim terrorism to resign now; get back UK taxpayers’ STOLEN £398,000 money from Islamic Relief and the Scottish government lawbreakers brought before a court of law for their criminal acts.
Every law-abiding Briton and European want the anti-freedom, nation-destroying European Union immediately abolished and demand that the Muslim terrorist-loving European Union criminals get back the €22 million from terrorist Islamic Relief and give the STOLEN taxpayer money back to European and British taxpayers.
Only the most profoundly evil people finance muslim terrorists. The money should have gone to Islam’s huge number of infidel victims who live in daily terror of muslims burning down their churches, perpetrating satanic atrocities, beheadings, kidnappings, forced conversions, massive barbaric murders and massive sex-slave taking of infidels.
HEAVILY ARM the CHRISTIANS AND YAZIDIS with Tanks, Submachine guns, Aircraft and all military weapons. Rescue the thousands of Yazidi and Christian women and girls who have been taken for sex-slaves by ISIS obeyind quran commands to take infidel females for sex-slaves.

CICERO: A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself.
For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist.
A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague. — Cicero
Catalonia (Spain)
The independence movement is tied to radical Islamists.
Catalonia includes four provinces: Barcelona, Girona, Lleida, and Tarragona and it has the largest concentration of Muslims in Europe.
“Muslims should vote for pro-independence parties, as they need our votes. But what they do not know is that, once they allow us to vote, we will all vote for Islamic parties … and as we begin to accumulate power in the Catalan autonomous region, Islam will begin to be implemented.” — Abdelwahab Houzi, a Salafi jihadist preacher in Catalonia.

Maria, yes, all the pieces are starting to come together.
Very interesting Maria.
Why does it always seem that there’s a mere one degree of separation between a “moderate” Muslim and an Islamic terrorist group? It’s literally true for every one of them.
i think it’s the civilization jihad approach. soothe the kufar then go in for the kill
Seem?
