Islamic centre 'arson' investigated by police

2009-05-07T17:56:00.003Z

"Police are investigating after a suspected arson attack gutted an Islamic centre in a town where extremist Muslim protesters barracked British soldiers returning from Iraq."

I have consulted Al-Guardian extensively on this subject and it seems that freedom fighters showing resistance to the occupation is only to be expected. In fact, the general line in most articles and comments is that it should be encouraged.

Blast carnage at shrine in Iraq

2009-04-24T21:34:00.004Z

"Two female suicide bombers have attacked Baghdad's main Shia shrine, killing at least 60 people and injuring 125 others, officials in Iraq say.

The attack happened at the Imam Moussa al-Kadhim shrine in the Kadhimiya area as people gathered for Friday prayers.

It comes a day after 84 people were killed in two separate suicide attacks in Baghdad and Baquba."

Allahu Akbar! The God of Islam is truly great. Surely our future is blessed by the resurgence of this great religion. I can hardly wait for the Taliban to get their hands on Pakistan's nuclear arsenal.

UN racism event highlights divisions

2009-04-24T21:31:00.001Z

"The UN conference on racism in Geneva has ended, overshadowed by a speech made by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in which he accused Israel of racism against the Palestinians, prompting a walkout."

A synchronised walk-out and spontaneous applause for The Daft Jacket - perhaps the best recognition of a clash of civilisations we have yet seen.

Faith and unreason: The headteacher hounded from her job

2009-04-07T12:58:00.001Z

"Erica Connor took a failing school and turned it into a beacon of academic achievement and racial harmony. So why was she driven from her job by religious extremists and misguided officials?
...
The head of the once-thriving New Monument school in Woking, Surrey, Connor had borne the brunt of an unpleasant and unrelenting three-year campaign, conducted by a handful of local activists, to turn her non-denominational state primary into an Islamic faith school.

She had been attacked in the small print of a widely circulated petition demanding her removal; insulted in a rare graffiti scrawl across the front of the school; verbally abused by two of the school governors; and advised, for her own safety, to carry a personal police alarm at all times. Connor, who had always regarded herself as an optimist, was suffering from loss of sleep, loss of memory, loss of weight, loss of confidence. She was later diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder and prescribed anti-depressants.
...
Yet her repeated attempts to enlist the aid of her local education authority were in vain; it had decided instead to take up her opponents' cause. Despite support from her staff, parents and the community, Connor and her school were investigated - twice - by the LEA following accusations of racism and Islamophobia. Last month, at the High Court, she finally won £407,781 damages for negligence from Surrey County Council.
...
Around 90 per cent of New Monument's pupils, including children of Pakistani, Saudi and Omani descent, speak English as a second language. Around 80 per cent are Muslim....Many of New Monument's mothers were ill-educated, even illiterate
...
on 15 June a three-page petition appeared, apparently signed by parents, which called for her sacking on the grounds that she was a racist and Islamophobe.
...
"The petition said that I didn't respect their language, their values, their culture, that I was out for myself and I just wanted to make money. It said I was Jewish, that I had missionaries coming into the school, that I was Catholic. It attacked the staff's dress and mine. It was just endless. It's so ludicrous it's almost laughable, although at the time it wasn't at all."
...
Many parents had been intimidated into signing the document...
...
Though the judge in Connor's case later called the petition "itself racist", the police were reluctant to investigate who was responsible for the document, because its contents failed to meet the statutory criteria for inciting racial hatred. Nevertheless, they handed out police alarms to staff and advised them all to go home immediately at the end of each school day.
...
Remarkably, her first reaction upon seeing the media coverage of her case was to feel sympathy for Paul Martin..."whatever he and Saleem did, they did from personal conviction and passion""

Well, that's alright then.

Musician ordered out of West Bank

2009-04-03T16:28:00.002Z

"A Palestinian youth orchestra director has been told to leave a West Bank refugee camp by security officials amid a row over playing a concert in Israel."

The whore would be in trouble for a number of reasons (is she dead yet?):

1. attempting to foster understanding - we can't have that
2. suggesting The Holocaust may actually have happened - we certainly can't have that
3. she's a woman
4. there are girls in the orchestra
5. they're playing European instruments
6. music is fundamentally unislamic

Here's the punchline:

""She used innocent children to carry out a political agenda," Mr Assidha said, according to Reuters.

"Instead of taking them for recreation, she took them to participate in a day to commemorate the Holocaust. She exploited the children in an ugly way.""

Ugly.

In the crazy, mixed up world of Islamic Britain, British soldiers are murderers and terrorists, and someone who blows themselves up in a market, killing indisciminatly, is a martyr and a hero.

After 8 years of suicidal political correctness; of excusing and pandering to terrorists; where the media has constantly reminded us that one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter, is it any wonder that the freedom fighters of Northern Ireland have finally realised that terrorism it more effective than politics.

Accused 'doused chips with urine'

2009-02-24T17:41:00.001Z

"A shopper saw a man squirt a foul-smelling brown liquid over frozen chips in a Tesco store in Gloucestershire, Bristol Crown Court has been told.

Sahnoun Daifallah, 42, of Bibury Road, Gloucester, denies squirting a mixture of urine and faeces at four businesses last May.

Alison Harris told the court she was suspicious of the way the man was holding a laptop bag in the food aisle.

"I was taken aback... there was a strong smell of urine," she said.

"I became aware of him about three to six feet away from me in the chip aisle and thought he was suspicious because of the way he held his bag.

"I noticed a projectile spray from the bag on to the frozen food, like something from a sports bottle, it was instantaneous."

The court was told he then moved on to the wine section where a shop assistant also saw a fine vapour come out of the bag and on to the red wine and champagne, leaving a trail of brown fluid.

...

Mr Daifallah is then said to have driven four miles to the Morrisons store in Abbeydale where an employee in the wine section noticed him acting strangely, before the smell and brown splatters were discovered

Two days earlier the Algerian-born chemist visited the Air Balloon Pub, in Birdlip, near Cheltenham moments before a stench and brown liquid was found sprayed around the pub, the court heard.

He is then alleged to have moved on to the Waterstones bookstore in Cirencester where the jury heard he spread the brown liquid over the toilet in the coffee shop.

It was not until the next morning staff noticed a large number of books had been sprayed, the court heard."

I wonder how much of this is going on unnoticed.

I particularly liked "To laughter in the audience, another speaker noted that twice as many babies were born as children were killed during the war.".

SALMOND STAKES

How much longer will Alex Salmond be able to convince the Scottish press and people that he's not a grubby nationalist who fans sectarian hatreds, but a modern politician leading Scotland to a tolerant future? A scandal is looming north of the border that threatens to tarnish the oily one's gleaming image perhaps irrevocably.

Last month the Scottish Council for Voluntary Organisations condemned Salmond's government for giving £400,000 to the Scottish Islamic Foundation. The foundation is headed by one Osama Saeed, who just happens to be the Scottish National Party's parliamentary candidate in Glasgow Central. As Stephen Maxwell, the council's director, said, it was "unusual, to say the least" that public money was handed over to a body which had neither been incorporated as a company nor registered as a charity at the time the grant was given.

As Labour and Liberal Democrat members of the Scottish parliament push for an inquiry, they would do well to listen to the Scottish Muslim groups which Salmond won't fund. They say the Scottish Islamic Foundation does not represent their or any other tolerant version of Islam.

Saeed's membership of the SNP is not his only interesting connection. His Islamic Foundation is in fact a front organisation for the Muslim Brotherhood which wants to create a global Caliphate (motto: "Allah is our objective. The Prophet is our leader. The Qur'an is our law. Jihad is our way. Dying in the way of Allah is our highest hope.") Saeed is an enthusiastic supporter and was furious when Nicky Campbell of BBC Radio 5 accurately reported that Yusuf al-Qaradawi, spiritual leader of the Muslim Brotherhood, had ruled that wife beating and female circumcision were fine, and that gays, Israelis and apostates deserved death. "This is truly unacceptable from the BBC," Saeed declared.

The Brotherhood's main aim in Scotland is to establish Muslim faith schools, controlled by Saeed's allies, naturally. At the launch of the Scottish Islamic Foundation, Saeed praised Muslim schools in England where children are taught the Koran, boys and girls are segregated and the latter wear the hijab. Salmond stood beside him and pledged state funding.

Amanullah de Sondy, a lecturer in Islamic studies at Glasgow University, believes faith schools "will further reinforce isolationist approaches to education and hamper attempts at building bridges between Muslims and non-Muslims", and says: "I have nothing against the Scottish Islamic Foundation... but they are not representative of the Muslim community." But Salmond didn't listen. He seems to want to make the Scottish Islamic Foundation / Muslim Brotherhood the authentic voice of Scottish Islam, in the hope that it will return the favour by helping the SNP take Muslim votes from Labour.

The Kelvinside numpties who control BBC Scotland are equally impressed and have also been flirting with radical Islamic chic.

About the only Muslim voices they allow listeners to hear are those of Saeed and Aamer Anwar, a solicitor and former Socialist Workers' Party activist who was nearly done for contempt of court after he claimed that a wannabe-terrorist, convicted of possessing CDs and videos of guerrilla tactics and bomb-making, was just "doing what millions of young people do every day -- looking for answers on the internet".

So large has the Muslim Brotherhood influence grown in Scottish politics and broadcasting that the high commissioner for Pakistan, Dr Maleha Lodhi, used a speech at Glasgow University last year to urge Scottish Muslims to speak up for themselves and not allow the men with the loudest voices to be seen as their sole representatives.

Some hope. As Salmond dreams of becoming the first ruler of an independent Scotland in three centuries, the bonds between nationalism and Islamism are growing tighter. He is talking of putting representatives of the Scottish Islamic Foundation on to commissions investigating the future of Trident and sending them as ambassadors to the Middle East. As for those Scots, Muslim and non-Muslim alike, who don't believe in sexual segregation and the theology of al-Qaradawi, Salmond is riding so high in the polls he thinks he can tell them to get stuffed.

Revealed: UK’s first official sharia courts

2008-09-16T09:32:00.001Z

"Islamic law has been officially adopted in Britain, with sharia courts given powers to rule on Muslim civil cases.

The government has quietly sanctioned the powers for sharia judges to rule on cases ranging from divorce and financial disputes to those involving domestic violence.

Rulings issued by a network of five sharia courts are enforceable with the full power of the judicial system, through the county courts or High Court.

Previously, the rulings of sharia courts in Britain could not be enforced, and depended on voluntary compliance among Muslims.

It has now emerged that sharia courts with these powers have been set up in London, Birmingham, Bradford and Manchester with the network’s headquarters in Nuneaton, Warwickshire. Two more courts are being planned for Glasgow and Edinburgh."

Next US terror attack 'could be by white Americans or Europeans'

2008-09-16T09:29:00.000Z

"...counter-terrorism experts believe that any future attack will be made by terrorists with an "American face".

They point to reports of white faces in terrorism training camps in Pakistan - the so-called "white men of Waziristan", a reference to the remote tribal area where both al-Qaeda and the Taliban have bases.

Experts believe that dozens of westerners have undergone such training as their leaders try to recruit non-Middle Eastern Asians, particularly ethnic Caucasians, who are less likely to attract the attention of security and law enforcement agencies.

Al-Qaeda's recent decision to put out videos in English and a similar change on extremist "jihadi" websites have also been cited of evidence of a new strategy to find recruits who are less likely to attract the attention of security and law enforcement agencies. "

Treat Muslims better, Britain told by UN

It recommended the Government "should take energetic measures to eliminated this phenomenon and ensure that authors of such acts of discrimination on the basis of religion are adequately deterred and sanctioned.""

The problem still seems to be my negative views on being randomly blown apart on public transport rather than the ongoing, unquestioned encouragement throughout the Islamic world to carry out such killings.

Africa is giving nothing to anyone -- apart from AIDS

2008-07-25T10:21:00.001Z

Toddlers who dislike spicy food 'racist'

2008-07-07T12:55:00.000Z

"Toddlers who turn their noses up at spicy food from overseas could be branded racists by a Government-sponsored agency.

The National Children's Bureau, which receives £12 million a year, mainly from Government funded organisations, has issued guidance to play leaders and nursery teachers advising them to be alert for racist incidents among youngsters in their care.

This could include a child of as young as three who says "yuk" in response to being served unfamiliar foreign food.

They said forcing their children to take part in the exercise at Alsager High School, near Stoke-on-Trent - which included wearing Muslim headgear - was a breach of their human rights."

I'm sure next week the Muslim kids will be obliged to wear kippahs.

He had recently learnt the teaching of Islam in a move to convert to the religion and recorded the preachings of disgraced Muslim cleric Abu Hamza.

Leeds Crown Court was told he would only befriend Muslim colleagues while working for a loans company and showed them recordings of Allied soldiers being tortured and beheaded."

Yet another confused convert to the peaceful religion. Where do they all get they idea they have to kill the Infidel? Who knows.

Al-Qa'eda style terrorists planning UK attacks with ambulances bought on eBay

2008-06-30T12:29:00.001Z

"Terrorists may be planning to launch suicide bomb attacks in Britain using former NHS ambulances and police cars bought on auction website eBay, police chiefs have warned.

The Association of Chief Police Officers said ministers must legislate to stop the sale of such vehicles amid fears that al-Qa'eda inspired extremists may import a tactic already used in Iraq and Israel."

It's good to see someone recognising that the Palis use ambulances in their attacks.

Sniffer dogs offend muslims

2008-06-27T13:01:00.002Z

"Police sniffer dogs trained to spot terrorists at railway stations may no longer come into contact with Muslim passengers – after complaints that it is against the suspects’ religion."

Oh Yes. Perhaps we should all claim to be Muslims.

Blonde, white schoolboy is al-Qa’eda extremist

2008-06-25T12:59:00.002Z

"A schoolboy aged 12 has been identified as an al-Qaeda inspired extremist after sending beheading videos to his classmates, police have disclosed.

Anti-terrorism chiefs have said the example revealed how violent extremism is spreading "like a virus infecting young minds".

The blonde, white schoolboy from West Yorkshire is among 120 people being dealt with by police in a new anti-terrorism scheme targeting al-Qa’eda inspired youths.

He has been identified only by the initials BC and was reported by his school after he was found circulating video clips of terrorists beheading Westerners.
...
The 12-year-old boy arrived in Britain as an asylum seeker in July 2005"

The shape of things to come. I wonder which fascist teacher reported him.

Ian McEwan: I despise militant Islam

2008-06-23T16:26:00.001Z

"The award-winning novelist Ian McEwan has launched an outspoken attack on militant Islam, accusing it of "wanting to create a society that I detest".

The author said he "despises Islamism" because of its views on women and homosexuality.

But predicting a backlash against his comments, which were made in an Italian newspaper, he insisted he was not a racist."

Inayat Bunglawala and the MCB disapprove - apparently Jihadophobia is not acceptable.

Young Muslims 'are turning to extremism'

2008-06-23T16:20:00.001Z

"Extremists are winning the battle for the hearts and minds of Britain's young Muslims, a disturbing police report warns.

Increasing numbers have become so alienated from mainstream society that they could even lend their support to jihadi terrorism, the study claims."

Still nothing to worry about.

Muslim refuses shake, loses prize

2008-06-23T12:41:00.000Z

"A Muslim asylum seeker lost out on an award for volunteer work after indicating that he would not shake hands with the woman who was to present him with the prize.

Alinoor Ahmed Sheikh, a Somali based in an asylum hostel in Tralee, was to have been honoured for his work raising funds for Amnesty International at a ceremony last Thursday organised by the Africa Centre in Dublin. The event was designed to highlight the positive work done by refugees and asylum seekers in Irish communities."

Irony alert.

Terrorists: Welcome. Martha Stewart: Not so welcome.

2008-06-23T10:50:00.001Z

Abu Qatada released from prison - "Abu Qatada, 47, was freed from Long Lartin Prison, in Worcestershire, at about 2020 BST after winning his fight against deportation from Britain.

A senior judge earlier signed papers authorising the release of Abu Qatada, previously described as Osama Bin Laden's right-hand man in Europe. "

Martha Stewart 'barred from UK' - "American lifestyle guru Martha Stewart has been refused a visa to enter Britain because of her convictions in the US, according to reports.

The millionaire, aged 66, served five months in a US jail in 2004 for lying to investigators about a share sale. "

It's good to know the legal system is protecting us from dangerous minds. (Or at least it would be.)

Here's an article about the "outrage" felt my the Muslim community when "controversial Muslim cleric" (terrorist sympathiser and Infadel hater) Yusuf al-Qaradawi was refused a UK visa because of his "controversial" views on Jews, homosexuals, free-speech, suicide bombing, Infidels, etc.

Muslim outrage as Yusuf al-Qaradawi refused UK visa

New Iranian dress code crackdown

2008-06-18T12:08:00.001Z

"Police in Iran have begun a new campaign against Western-style clothing and hairstyles.

Women are being arrested if their headscarves do not fully cover their hair or their clothes show their figures too clearly.

Men are also being stopped for having hairstyles seen as inappropriate."

Whistleblower warning on degrees

2008-06-18T10:19:00.001Z

"Degrees are being awarded to overseas students who speak almost no English, claims a whistleblowing academic.

The academic, at a world-famous UK university, says postgraduate degrees are awarded to students lacking in the most basic language skills.

There are concerns that financial pressures to recruit overseas students for cash rather than quality could threaten the credibility of degrees.

But Universities UK says there are "rigorous" checks on standards.

The number of overseas students taking higher degree courses, such as masters and doctorates, has soared - rising more than eightfold since the mid-1990s.

More than 60% of higher degree students are now from outside the UK.

Overseas students have been seen as a lucrative source of revenue - with the Higher Education Policy Institute calculating payments to universities of almost £1.5bn per year in fees plus £2.2bn in living costs."

Muslim stylist wins £4,000 payout

2008-06-17T16:34:00.001Z

"The owner of a hair salon has been ordered to pay £4,000 compensation to a Muslim stylist who was turned down for a job because she wears a headscarf.
...
She was awarded £4,000 damages for "injury to feelings".
...
Speaking after the ruling the salon owner said: "I never in a million years dreamt that somebody would be completely against the display of hair and be in this industry. I don't feel I deserve it.""

Ain't about hair.

Hamas set off massive Gaza blast

2008-06-13T12:24:00.001Z

"The armed wing of Hamas has admitted that a massive explosion in the Gaza Strip on Thursday was caused by militants preparing an armed operation.

Seven people, including a four-month-old baby were killed in the blast, in Beit Lahiya, in the north of the strip.

Hamas had initially blamed the explosion on an Israeli air strike and responded with rocket fire, but Israel denied any involvement."

Very unusual for our mainstream media to recognise one of these Palestinian work accident.

Muslim children in Britain 'brought up to hate their homeland'

2008-06-11T12:33:00.001Z

"Discussions on a number of radical websites have asked how children should be brought up to be "mujahideen" and whether they should be pulled out of mainstream schools.

Other participants boast of how their children threaten to kill "kuffar" [non-believers] and complain that the Shakespeare being taught in schools is "full of homosexuality, fornication and adultery." "

Also at The Telegraph: Muslim parents to blame for children turning to extremism

Malaysian president calls for British Muslims to live under sharia law

2008-06-10T16:51:00.001Z

"Muslim extremism in Britain will grow unless the Government and society learn to understand Islam, Malaysia's prime minister has warned.

Abdullah Badawi claimed that the legacy of Britain's imperial past has hampered its ability to appreciate its Islamic population.
...

"They must not be a liability. They have to be an asset.""

Aye, there's the rub.

Children aged 13 groomed for terror

2008-06-09T15:58:00.001Z

"Schoolchildren as young as 13 are being “groomed” for terrorism by Islamic extremists in the heartland of the 7/7 suicide bombers, according to Britain’s most senior police officer charged with countering radicalisation."

Yet more that you don't have to worry about. Tiny minority, nothing to do with Islam, etc., etc.

Boy, 16, 'had notes on al-Qa'eda and napalm'

Boy, 14, groomed to be suicide bomber

Hazel Blears says sidelining of Christianity is 'common sense'

2008-06-09T12:40:00.000Z

"She said it was right that more money and effort was spent on Islam than Christianity because of the threat from extremism and home-grown terrorism."

Not that terrorism has anything to do with Islam, obviously.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad attacks Jews at UN food summit in Rome

2008-06-03T12:27:00.001Z

"Arriving in Rome for a United Nations summit, Mr Ahmadinejad said: "The people of Europe have suffered the most harm from Zionists and today the costs of that falsified regime, whether political or economic, are on Europe's shoulders."

He added: "I do not believe my statements [at the conference] will cause any problems. People love what I say because they are trying to save themselves from the oppression of Zionists." "

He knows he's safe when it comes to the UN. Just wait till he gets his hands on a nuclear bomb.

Islamic extremists should get therapy

2008-06-03T12:25:00.001Z

"Islamic extremists could escape prosecution and instead receive therapy and counselling under new Government plans to "deradicalise" religious fanatics.

The Home Office is to announce an extra £12.5 million to support new initiatives to try to stop extremism spreading.

The central element of the Home Office plan is a new national "deradicalisation" programme that would persuade converts to violent and extremist causes to change their views. "

That should do it.

Police advise Christian preachers to leave Muslim area of Birmingham

2008-06-02T16:01:00.000Z

"A police community support officer ordered two Christian preachers to stop handing out gospel leaflets in a predominantly Muslim area of Birmingham.

The evangelists say they were threatened with arrest for committing a "hate crime" and were told they risked being beaten up if they returned. The incident will fuel fears that "no-go areas" for Christians are emerging in British towns and cities, as the Rt Rev Michael Nazir-Ali, the Bishop of Rochester, claimed in The Sunday Telegraph this year."

Cambridge students tested on Diana biography

2008-05-30T13:05:00.001Z

"Cambridge classics students have been tested on the best-selling biography of Diana, Princess of Wales, a professor at the prestigious university has disclosed.

Prof Mary Beard said she also made her third-year pupils read tabloid newspapers and transcripts of the notorious "Squidgygate" and "Camillagate" tapes, which revealed intimate details of the princess and the Prince of Wales's extra-marital affairs, for a course about ancient Roman history.

The revelation comes just days after the pop lyrics of Amy Winehouse featured in a Cambridge exam paper.

Prof Mary Beard admitted some of her colleagues were "a bit dubious" about the academic value of the history course, which ran for three years. "

The best education money can buy. Still, as long as the kids leave knowing Jews are the cause of all the worlds problems the lecturers will be happy.

UN "Peacekeepers"

2008-05-27T08:48:00.002Z

Peacekeepers sell arms to Somalis - "Ugandan peacekeepers in Somalia have been selling arms to insurgents, a United Nations report says."

Horseback raid on Darfur troops - "Armed men on horseback have attacked and stolen the weapons of Nigerian UN peacekeepers in Sudan's Darfur region." (heaven forbid they should fight back)

Peacekeepers 'abusing children' - "Children as young as six are being sexually abused by peacekeepers and aid workers, says a leading UK charity."

UN peacekeepers 'traded gold, ivory and guns with Congo rebels' - "The United Nations has been accused of covering up allegations that its peacekeepers traded gold, ivory and arms with violent rebel groups in the Democratic Republic of Congo."

Making the world a better place.

2008-05-26T16:30:00.001Z

"Islamic terrorists may be targeting mentally disturbed or disabled people in Britain in a bid to form a new “brigade” of home-grown suicide bombers, security officials fear."

Mental illness is a prerequisite for all Jihadis.

UK citizenship for record 164,000 foreigners

2008-05-21T13:15:00.001Z

"Home Office data showed that 164,635 people became British last year – a seven per cent rise in 12 months.

The total was the highest since the Home Office began keeping comparable records in 1997. It led to accusations that Labour has created a lax immigration regime.

...

More than 100,000 of the eastern Europeans who have come to Britain in recent years are claiming benefits, official figures showed on Tuesday.

Some 102,029 are receiving child benefit and an estimated 58,000 are receiving tax credits, Home Office data disclosed."

Man remanded after 'urine' attack

2008-05-20T16:37:00.000Z

"A man has been remanded in custody charged with spraying urine at two supermarkets, a pub and a book shop.

Sahnoun Daifallah, 42, of Bibury Road, from Gloucester, appeared before magistrates and pleaded not guilty to four charges of contaminating products."

I wonder just how much of this is going on unnoticed.

Islamic world urged to stand against Western-style human rights

2008-05-16T15:31:00.001Z

"Secretary of the Human Rights Headquarters of Iran's Judiciary Mohammad-Javad Larijani called on all Islamic states on Thursday to stand against the Western-style human rights.
...
He explained, "Tehran's strategy is to conform international commitments on human rights to the Islamic concepts and then enforce them nationwide"."

Sounds good.

Synagogue walls daubed with anti-Jewish graffiti

2008-05-16T15:28:00.002Z

"Hackney council is removing the graffiti, which consisted of 40 pieces of writing."

Probably just kids acting on what they've been taught at school. We can only imagine the outcry if a mosque had been vandalised.

Malaysian woman can leave Islam

2008-05-09T12:13:00.002Z

"A religious court in Malaysia has allowed a Muslim convert to leave the Islamic faith, in what is being hailed as a landmark ruling."

It's a shame that this should be news-worthy. It's Friday - expect protests. Her life is now at risk.

Foreign criminals work at airports unchecked

2008-05-08T12:51:00.004Z

"Thousands of foreigners are being allowed to work in high security parts of Britain's airports without passing proper criminal record checks, it was disclosed last night.

Despite warnings that terrorists would try to recruit people working "airside" in terminals - with direct access to aircraft and baggage - no attempt has been made to check whether foreign workers have committed any offences abroad.

The vetting process checks only for crimes committed in Britain. Foreign workers - arriving from inside or outside the European Union - are not checked in their country of origin."

So incredible, it's difficult to believe. Further evidence of our suicidal stupidity. If you're a terrorist and you're wondering if you should rush to bring forward your plans, don't worry, no changes will be made to this policy for the foreseeable future.

Update 09May08 - Bail for Islamic preacher Qatada - is it any wonder they have such a low opinion of the stupid kuffar. It's unlikely he'll skip bail - life in Britain is just too sweet.

Update 16 May 08 - Afghan hijacker 'working at Heathrow'.

UN teacher by day - Islamists' chief bomb-maker at night

2008-05-06T12:34:00.004Z

"By day, Awad al-Qiq was a respected teacher and headmaster at a United Nations school in the Gaza Strip. By night, he built rockets for Islamic Jihad.

The Israeli air strike that killed the 33-year-old last week also laid bare his apparent double life and embarrassed a UN agency that has long had to reject Israeli accusations that it has aided and abetted guerrillas fighting the Jewish state." (Thanks to JR)

Hardly a surprise. Probably the tip of the iceberg.

An Anatomy of Surrender

2008-04-29T10:28:00.000Z

"Motivated by fear and multiculturalism, too many Westerners are acquiescing to creeping sharia."

Hizbollah builds up covert army for a new assault against Israel

2008-04-29T09:16:00.001Z

"Hizbollah has embarked on a major expansion of its fighting capability and is now sending hundreds, if not thousands, of young men into intensive training camps in Lebanon, Syria and Iran to ready itself for war with Israel. 'It's not a matter of if,' says one fighter. 'It's a matter of when Sayed Hasan Nasrallah [Hizbollah chief] commands us.'"

"'The villages in the south are empty of men,' said one international official. 'They are all gone, training in Bekaa, Syria and Iran.'...posters showing young men killed in training exercises are cropping up. One is of Ahmad Hashem, killed while instructing recruits in the use of rocket-propelled grenades."

In Al-Guardian, no less. I can only assume they think they're aiding Hizbollah's recruitment efforts.

Algeria passport veil ban protest

2008-04-24T12:12:00.001Z

"Muslim Scholars in Algeria say a government ban on pictures of veiled women in passport photographs runs counter to Sharia law."

Yes, we should all be allowed to wear disguises in passport photographs - you know it makes (Islamic) sense. Why bother with a photograph at all? Why even bother with a passport?

Darfur deaths 'could be 300,000'

2008-04-23T12:59:00.001Z

"An estimated 300,000 people may have died as a result of the Darfur conflict, the UN head of humanitarian affairs John Holmes says."

But don't worry, the UN is still on the case:

"...the UN-African Union peacekeeping force for Darfur...is at less than 40% of its mandated level of 19,555 and it is very unlikely to achieve full-operating capability before 2009."

Good job.

Jemima Khan receives death threats from Muslim extremists

2008-04-23T12:35:00.002Z

"Jemima Khan has received death threats from Islamic extremists for supporting a Muslim group which preaches tolerance of other religions.
...
The group has received death threats by phone and email that are intended for all members involved in the organisation and it has been reported that one even referred to Mrs Khan by name."

Tolerance of other religions? Can't be having that; got to be worthy of death threats.

MEPs vote to cover up expenses inquiry

2008-04-23T12:30:00.000Z

"Members of the European Parliament voted yesterday to cover up a report showing widespread abuse of allowances worth £125 million every year.

They also threw out demands from a public information watchdog for scrutiny of generous pension perks."

Great work if you can get it.

Muslim call to adopt Mecca time

2008-04-22T16:42:00.001Z

"Muslim scientists and clerics have called for the adoption of Mecca time to replace GMT, arguing that the Saudi city is the true centre of the Earth.
...
A prominent cleric, Sheikh Youssef al-Qaradawy, said modern science had at last provided evidence that Mecca was the true centre of the Earth;"

Modern science, eh? Well, there's no arguing with that.

Concerns over funding of Islamic studies

2008-04-17T16:17:00.001Z

"A closed meeting called by the Higher Education Funding Council for England (Hefce) about Islamic studies will take place today amid fears that Saudi and Muslim organisations exert too much influence over UK universities as a result of donations that dwarf government funding.

Private donations, mostly to Islamic study centres, are much greater than government funding for Islamic studies and academics are said to be nervous of the threat to their academic freedom."

Saudis purchasing UK universities?

Britain monitoring 30 terror plots

2008-04-14T16:11:00.001Z

"There are 2,000 individuals who are being monitored. There are 200 networks involved and 30 active plots."

Only 2000 individuals? Sounds optimistic. Nothing to worry about. Probably Buddhists - they've taken a violent turn recently. Certainly can't have anything to do with Islam - the EU president says so (the Islamists would disagree but what do they know?).

Children Told they are Dogs during Mosque Visit

2008-04-09T16:10:00.000Z

"A primary school in Amsterdam wished to provide its pupils with an understanding for other cultures. But during a visit to a mosque, the children were told they were dogs."

By the chairman of the mosque, no less. I trust this visit contributed to their understanding of Islam.

Muslim sex offenders may opt out of treatment

2008-04-09T16:06:00.001Z

"Muslim sex offenders may be allowed to opt out of a prison treatment programme because it is against their religion, it has emerged.

The Prison Service's Muslim advisor has said there is a "legitimate Islamic position" that criminals should not discuss their crimes with others."

Anti-homophobia books removed from schools

2008-04-02T12:44:00.001Z

"Story books designed to discourage children from bullying homosexuals have been withdrawn from two primary schools after an outcry from predominantly Muslim parents, a council said yesterday.

The books were removed by Bristol City Council after parents complained that the anti-homophobia programme was not appropriate for many pupils and had been introduced without consultation."

Because sometimes homophobia IS appropriate and shouldn't be discouraged. One can imagine how this would have played had bigoted, fascistic, homophobic Christian parents raised a complaint.

Ben Elton: BBC scared of Islam jokes

2008-04-02T12:36:00.001Z

"The BBC is too scared to make jokes about Islam, the comedian Ben Elton has claimed.

Elton, who is also a scriptwriter and author, accused the corporation of being too concerned with political correctness for not allowing jokes about imams but allowing ones [about] vicars.
...
"There is no doubt about it, the BBC will let vicar gags pass but they would not let imam gags pass.""

No doubt. But let's face it, their fears are not ill-founded.

Saudi woman killed for chatting on Facebook

2008-03-31T12:57:00.001Z

"A young Saudi Arabian woman was murdered by her father for chatting on the social network site Facebook, it has emerged.

The unnamed woman from Riyadh was beaten and shot after she was discovered in the middle of an online conversation with a man, the al-Arabiya website reported. "

WHORE!

Not unreasonable. This is the sort of cultural enhancement we need more of in The West.
