Canada: Muslim Family in Montreal Killed Their Three Teenage Daughters Because They Had Boyfriends, ‘May the Devil …(expletive) on Their Graves’
Matthew 24:12, “And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.”
Update: Guilty! …
“KINGSTON, Ont. – A Montreal family couldn’t bear the ‘treachery’ of their three teenaged daughters having boyfriends, so they drowned them and the father’s first wife, pushing a car into a canal and staging the scene to look like an implausible accident, court heard Thursday.
Days after the bodies were found the father was recorded saying, ‘There is nothing more valuable than our honour.’
Tooba Mohammad Yahya, 41, her husband Mohammad Shafia, 58, and their son, Hamed Mohammad Shafia, 20, are each charged with four counts of first-degree murder.
Three teenage Shafia sisters, Zainab, 19, Sahar, 17, and Geeti, 13, along with Shafia’s first wife, Rona Amir Mohammad, 50, were found dead inside a submerged black Nissan Sentra discovered June 30, 2009 in the Rideau Canal. The family had stopped in Kingston on their way home from a trip to Niagara Falls.
An expert will be called to testify about honour killings and how in extreme cases, killing can be seen in some cultures as a way to restore honour to a family, the Crown attorney said Thursday at the outset of the trial. Disobedience by a female member of the family can cause shame and taint family honour, she said.
Laurie Lacelle quoted police wiretaps made surreptitiously in the days after the deaths that show the family’s concern for their honour.
‘Even if they hoist me up onto the gallows, nothing is more dear to me than my honour,’ Shafia said. ‘Let’s leave our destiny to God, and may God never make me, you or your mother honourless… There is nothing more valuable than our honour.’
When police began to suspect the three were involved in the deaths, they told the family they were examining a camera near the scene for clues, in the hopes this would prompt discussion among the Shafias in their car, which the police had bugged. They scoffed and immediately suspected police were bluffing.
‘If they had had any proof they would have come for us a long time ago,’ Shafia said.
Another wiretap recorded Shafia and Yahya talking about their daughters 20 days after they died.
‘If we remain alive… we have no tension thinking our daughter is in the arms of this or that boy, this or that man,’ Shafia said on a wiretap. ‘God’s curse on them for generations. May the devil …(expletive) on their graves. Is that what a daughter should be? Would a daughter be such a whore?'” Read more.
Nasrallah: Next War with Israel Will Start in Tel Aviv, Says Hezbollah Has ‘Many Surprises’ That Will Change the Face of the Region in a Future War
Unbeknownst to Israel at this time, they too will have a surprise that will literally change the face of the region in a coming future war. And He is called Yeshua Ha-Mashiach:
Joel 3:4,11-12, “… what are you to Me, O Tyre, Sidon and all the regions of Philistia? Are you rendering Me a recompense? But if you do recompense Me, swiftly and speedily I will return your recompense on your head… Hasten and come, all you surrounding nations, And gather yourselves there. Bring down, O LORD, Your mighty ones. Let the nations be aroused And come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat, For there I will sit to judge All the surrounding nations.”
Isaiah 17:1, “The burden against Damascus. ‘Behold, Damascus will cease from [being] a city, And it will be a ruinous heap.'”
By Haaretz – “The next war with Israel will start in Tel Aviv, not on the northern border, Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah warned on Friday, the Lebanese Al-Akhbar newspaper reported.
‘If Israel decided to wage a war against Lebanon, we will not only break the Israeli soldiers’ bones, we will smash them,’ Nasrallah was quoted as saying during a meeting with Hezbollah members.
‘The war would be waged without any red lines, and [Hezbollah] would in return commit to the new equations,’ Nasrallah said.
‘[Hezbollah] has many surprises that will change the face of the region,’ he added.
Nasrallah also discussed recent reports that foreign spies had inflitrated Hezbollah. He said that Hezbollah would be able investigate itself and overcome the spying efforts.” Source.
Flashback: ‘Syria increasing arms shipments to Hezbollah’ – “Damascus is increasing shipments of advanced missiles and other weapons to Hezbollah amid continuing unrest in Syria, The Times of London reported Friday quoting Western intelligence officials. The officials said Syria provided Hezbollah with eight Scud D missiles that have a range of 700 kilometers. The missiles ‘are accurate to within tens of meters and bring all of Israel, Jordan and large parts of Turkey within Hezbollah’s range,’ the officials were quoted by the newspaper as saying.” Read more.
Flashback: Hezbollah may be receiving weapons of mass destruction from Syria – “French newspaper Le Figaro reported on Saturday that Israel has asked Western countries to stop their diplomatic campaign against the Syrian regime for fear that the weapons of mass destruction of the Syrian regime will fall in the hands of Hezbollah and Hamas. The newspaper said the chief of military intelligence in the Israeli army, Major-General Aviv Kochavi has relayed the Israeli position during his visit to the United Nations headquarters in New York a few weeks ago. According to a French diplomat Kochavi warned that the Syrian arsenal of weapons will be directed at Israel if the regime of Bashar al-Assad falls.” Read more.
First Ebola-Like Virus Native to Europe Discovered
“A team of international researchers has discovered a new Ebola-like virus – Lloviu virus — in bats from northern Spain. Lloviu virus is the first known filovirus native to Europe, they report in a study published in the journal PLOS Pathogens on Octobr 20th.
The study was a collaboration among scientists at the Center for Infection and Immunity (CII) at Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health, the Instituto de Salud Carlos III (ISCIII) in Spain, Roche Life Sciences, Centro de Investigación Príncipe Felipe, Grupo Asturiano para el Estudio y Conservación de los Murciélagos, Consejo Suerior de Investigaciones Científicas and the Complutense University in Spain.
Filoviruses, which include well-known viruses like Ebola and Marburg, are among the deadliest pathogens in humans and non-human primates, and are generally found in East Africa and the Philippines. The findings thus expand the natural geographical distribution of filoviruses.
‘The study is an opportunity to advance the knowledge of filoviruses’ natural cycle,’ said Ana Negredo, one of the first authors of the study.
Scientists at ISCIII analyzed lung, liver, spleen, throat, brain and rectal samples from 34 bats found in caves in Asturias and Cantabria, Spain, following bat die-offs in France, Spain and Portugal in 2002 affecting mainly one bat species.
They screened these samples for a wide range of viruses using the polymerase chain reaction, a molecular technique that allows scientists to amplify genetic material, and. detected a filovirus. Filoviruses include ebolaviruses and marburgviruses, two viruses associated with severe disease in humans and other primates.” Read more.
British Columbia: Red Tide Alert for Waters Around Nanaimo
By Jenn McGarrigle – “Fisheries officials closed areas around Nanaimo for shellfish harvesting due to unacceptable marine biotoxin results Wednesday.
Some areas south of Nanaimo are closed to harvesting all bivalve shellfish (oysters, clams, scallops, mussels and geoducks). Other areas in and around Nanaimo are closed to harvest of all bivalve shellfish except manila clams, littleneck clams, oysters and mussels; or are open except for harvesting of butter clams and scallops.
A complete list of the closures, as well as a map of the sub-areas around Nanaimo, is available at http://www.pac.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/psp. This information is also available by calling toll-free 1-866-431-3474.
Red Tide (Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning contamination) is caused by microscopic marine organisms that product toxins that can accumulate in bivalve shellfish because these animals filter feed.
Eating shellfish in a red tide zone can result in serious illness or death.” Read more.
European Debt Crisis Talks Plunged Into Chaos as Leaders Announce Another Summit
By Louise Armitstead and Bruno Waterfield – “Plans to ‘decisively address’ the debt crisis this weekend were plunged into chaos on Thursday night as European leaders were forced to announce another ‘summit’ next week amid political deadlock between France and Germany.
A statement released by the Elysee Palace said that Nicolas Sarkozy and Angela Merkel would meet to discuss their “ambitious and comprehensive response” to the crisis ahead of the European Council summit on Sunday.
But in a tacit admission of the gulf between them, the statement added that resolutions would be ‘finally adopted’ at a ‘second meeting no later than Wednesday’.
Insiders said the weekend’s summit of European leaders came close to being cancelled altogether, with the French president Mr Sarkozy having to beg German Chancellor Mrs Merkel not to pull the plug during frantic telephone calls.
The news came as US President Barack Obama praised Mr Sarkozy and Mrs Merkel for working ‘diligently’ for a ‘politically sustainable’ solution to the eurozone crisis in a video conference with the two leaders and UK Prime Minister David Cameron.
The second summit delay sent shockwaves around the world. Politicians and financiers have been banking on repeated pledges from France and Germany to ‘decisively address’ the crisis by Sunday.” Read more.
Merkel rebuffs Sarkozy on euro zone solution – “France’s push to use more European Central Bank money to fight the euro zone debt crisis ran into strong resistance from Germany and other EU partners on Friday, leaving Paris increasingly isolated before a crucial summit. The rift between Europe’s two biggest powers has already forced leaders to tack on an extra summit in the coming week. They will now meet twice — on Sunday and Wednesday — to adopt a comprehensive strategy to fight the crisis that began in Greece, spread to Ireland and Portugal and is now threatening to engulf bigger economies in the 17-nation currency area.” Read more.
New Evidence Emerges That Fukushima Radiation in Canada Was Worse Than Canadian Officials Ever Let On
By Alex Roslin – “After the Chernobyl nuclear disaster in 1986, Soviet officials were vilified for hiding the impacts from the public.
But when Japan’s Fukushima nuclear accident took place last March, public officials in Japan and Canada alike jumped straight into Chernobyl-style damage-control mode, dismissing any worries about impacts.
Now evidence has emerged that the radiation in Canada was worse than Canadian officials ever let on.
A Health Canada monitoring station in Calgary detected radioactive material in rainwater that exceeded Canadian guidelines during the month of March, according to Health Canada data obtained by the Georgia Straight.
Canadian government officials didn’t disclose the high radiation readings to the public. Instead, they repeatedly insisted that fallout drifting to Canada was negligible and posed no health concerns.
In fact, the data shows rainwater in Calgary last March had an average of 8.18 becquerels per litre of radioactive iodine, easily exceeding the Canadian guideline of six becquerels per litre for drinking water.
‘It’s above the recommended level [for drinking water],’ Eric Pellerin, chief of Health Canada’s radiation-surveillance division, admitted in a phone interview from Ottawa. ‘At any time you sample it, it should not exceed the guideline.’
Radioactive-iodine levels also spiked in March in Vancouver (which saw an average of 0.69 becquerels per litre), Winnipeg (which saw 0.64 becquerels per litre) and Ottawa (which saw 1.67 becquerels per litre), the data shows.
These levels didn’t exceed the Canadian guidelines, but the level discovered in Ottawa did surpass the more stringent ceiling for drinking water used by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, which is 54 times less than the six becquerels per litre of iodine-131 (a radioactive isotope) allowed in this country.
Health Canada provided the data only after repeated requests from the Straight. It isn’t posted on Health Canada’s web page devoted to the impacts of Fukushima.” Read more.
Flashback: Toronto: High Radiation Levels Being Measured in Rain Water Just North of the GTA – “This is part 3 of my measurements of the radioactivity falling on the north of GTA (Greater Toronto Area), Canada on August 14th 2011 at 17h55. Aprox. 1 square meter of smooth surface wiped (glass, solar panels). Measured with a Eberline HP-260 Pancake Probe and with a Eberline E-140 counter… I measured 20 000 cpm per square meter of wipe today!!! This is the all time record since I have been taking measurements since March 14th 2011 . Previous record was 10 000cpm (counts per minute).” Read more.
Flashback: Canadian Gov’t Now Admits: Japan’s Fukushima Catastrophe Bringing Massive Radiation Spikes Over Canada – “After Japan’s Fukushima catastrophe, Canadian government officials reassured jittery Canadians that the radioactive plume billowing from the destroyed nuclear reactors posed zero health risks in this country. In fact, there was reason to worry. Health Canada detected massive amounts of radioactive material from Fukushima in Canadian air in March and April at monitoring stations across the country. The level of radioactive iodine spiked above the federal maximum allowed limit in the air at four of the five sites where Health Canada monitors levels of specific radioisotopes.” Read more.

UK: Muslim Physiotherapist Launches Into Racist Rant Against Christian For Refusing Acupuncture Treatment
“A MUSLIM physiotherapist who launched into a racist rant when a patient refused to undergo acupuncture at a Sheffield clinic has been struck off.
Zaffar Ali told the Christian woman her faith was ‘wrong’ and had ‘killed more people than any other religion’ after she said the treatment was against her beliefs.
He ‘tore into’ her at an NHS clinic in Sheffield, lambasting her with a series of ‘inappropriate remarks’ in an attempt to pressure her into accepting his recommendation, the Health Professions Council heard.
Ali, formerly of Shirebrook Road, Heeley, claimed he was trying to show her ‘another viewpoint’ but a string of charges against him were proved at a misconduct hearing.
He was already subject to a four-year caution imposed by the HPC in 2009 after he received criminal convictions for harassment and battery and was sacked from Sheffield NHS Primary Care Trust.
Ali admitted assault and harassment at Sheffield Magistrates Court.
He broke into the home of his ex-girlfriend and assaulted one of her male friends.
Ruling that he should be struck off the professional register, panel chairman Ian Griffiths said: ‘The proved facts amount to more than merely isolated incidents but show a pattern of inappropriate behaviour by Mr Ali, in particular towards female patients.'” Read more.
Christianity indeed has a bloody past. But this bloviating bigot believes that it has ‘killed more people than any other religion’? Normally I would ask what a fuming physician like this had been smoking, but it’s obvious that it’s tightly rolled Islamist propaganda. That sort of drivel — which does nothing but merely expel what he’s been deeply inhaling — either completely whitewashes or ignores entirely some very important historical facts:
The bloody truth of the historic spread of Islam – “Jihad destroyed a Christian Middle East and a Christian North Africa. Soon it was the fate of the Persian Zoroastrian and the Hindu to be the victims of jihad. The history of political Islam is the destruction of Christianity in the Middle East, Egypt, Turkey and North Africa. Half of Christianity was lost. Before Islam, North Africa was the southern part of Europe (part of the Roman Empire). Around 60 million Christians were slaughtered during the jihadic conquest… The Jews became permanent dhimmis throughout Islam. In Africa over 120 million Christians and animists have died over the last 1400 years of jihad. Approximately 270 million nonbelievers died over the last 1400 years for the glory of political Islam. These are the Tears of Jihad which are not taught in any school.” Read more.
Hurriet Daily News: With 10 Million Muslims Killed Since 1948 at the Hands of Fellow Muslims, Golda Meir Was Right – “Let’s speak of facts. Sudan is not in the conventional Middle East, so let’s ignore the genocide there. Let’s ignore, also, the West Pakistani massacres in East Pakistan (Bangladesh) totaling 1.25 million in 1971. Or 200,000 deaths in Algeria in war between Islamists and the government in 1991-2006. But a simple, strictly Middle East research will give you one million deaths in the all-Muslim Iran-Iraq war; 300,000 Muslim minorities killed by Saddam Hussein; 80,000 Iranians killed during the Islamic revolution; 25,000 deaths in 1970-71, the days of Black September, by the Jordanian government in its fight against the Palestinians; and 20,000 Islamists killed in 1982 by the elder al-Assad in Hama. The World Health Organization’s estimate of Osama bin Laden’s carnage in Iraq was already 150,000 a few years earlier. In a 2007 research, Gunnar Heinsohn from the University of Bremen and Daniel Pipes, director of the Middle East Forum, found out that some 11 million Muslims have been violently killed since 1948, of which 35,000, (0.3 percent) died during the six years of Arab war against Israel, or one out of every 315 fatalities. In contrast, over 90 percent who perished were killed by fellow Muslims.” Read more.

Malaysia: Authorities Give Green Light to Anti-Christian ‘Defend Islam’ Rally
Here’s a quick update to this story. Of course, there was never any doubt that this ‘rally’ would be quickly approved by the Malaysian police. Even if it hadn’t been approved many would have still gathered anyway. The only question now is whether or not any Islamist mob-mentality will stoke violent sentiments and lead to anti-Christian aggression …

By Carolyn Hong – “Kuala Lumpur. Malaysian police have issued a permit for a mass gathering of Muslims this Saturday ‘to defend Islam against Christian proselytization’, an event politicians and others fear will stoke religious tension in this multiracial country.
The Himpunan Sejuta Umat, or gathering of one million Muslim faithful, is organized by 25 non-governmental organizations, including the Malay supremacy group Perkasa.
It is calling for a new law to punish those who try to convert Muslims.
The rally comes after a controversial raid in August by the Selangor Islamic authorities on a church dinner attended by Muslims. The Sultan of Selangor later said the authorities did find evidence of attempts to convert Muslims but it was insufficient for legal action.
Many Muslims regard apostasy to be one of the gravest sins.
The organizers of the Himpun rally are not overtly linked to any political party, and appear to be a pressure group like Perkasa, which is pushing the Malay parties in both the government and opposition to adopt its conservative agenda.” Read more.
S&P Sees Downgrade Blitz Across Southern Europe in EMU Recession
By Ambrose Evans-Pritchard – “Standard & Poor’s (S&P) is to warn that a double-dip recession in Europe would imperil France’s AAA rating and set off a string of downgrades across Southern Europe, undermining the EU’s debt crisis strategy.
The EU-IMF bail-out machinery would require an extra €250bn or more to stabilize eurozone debt markets, forcing Germany and EU’s creditor states to vastly increase rescue commitments.
The report, due Friday, said a double-dip recession would lead to a downgrade of ‘one or two notches’ for France, Spain, Italy, Ireland and Portugal, both because of tumbling tax revenues and the extra costs of propping up banks.
The scenario looks increasingly likely after Germany slashed its growth forecast from 1.8pc to 1pc for 2012. Greece and Portugal are contracting at alarming speeds. Italy and Spain are already in industrial recession.
‘Confidence surveys have fallen off a cliff over past three months,’ said Marchel Alexandrovich from Jefferies Fixed Income. ‘The lagged effects of fiscal and monetary tightening are still working their way through the system so it looks highly likely that we are in recession now.'” Read more.
Texas: Record-Breaking 4.8 Magnitude Earthquake Rattles San Antonio Area
“A record-breaking earthquake shook Atascosa County Thursday morning, rattling windows and sending tremors felt throughout Central and South Texas.
The magnitude 4.8 quake was the largest quake the area has felt since April 9, 1993, when a 4.3 earthquake moved through the area, said Julie Dutton, a geophysicist with the U.S. Geological Survey.
The 1993 quake had been the largest in history since earthquake magnitudes were first catalogued in 1973. Only 13 earthquakes have struck the region since the agency began recording them, the most recent occurring in 1983.
The magnitude of Thursday’s quake was initially reported as 4.6.
The USGS reported on its website that the earthquake struck at 7:24 a.m. about 47 miles southeast of San Antonio. The epicenter was in the rural community of Campbellton in Atascosa County.
The strongest tremors were felt just southeast of San Antonio, but people reported feeling the quake throughout the area. Weaker tremors were reported as far south as Kingsville and as far north as Georgetown, according to USGS. No significant damage was reported on the agency’s site.
A resident at the Cadillac Lofts in downtown San Antonio said the apartment complex felt like it was swaying during the tremor.
‘It was a little scary,’ Matthew Egan wrote in an email. ‘I’m from California, but at least back home everything was built on earthquake rollers. Makes me nervous to think how ill-prepared San Antonio might be for a bigger quake.'” Read more.
New Zealand: Measles Outbreak Hits Waiheke Island
“The measles outbreak which has infected more than 200 Aucklanders has now spread to Waiheke Island.
A 17-year-old resident on the island recently tested positive for the disease, Dawn Rigby, Manager of the Waiheke Trust says.
It is not known where the teenager contracted measles but because of the school holidays his contact with others has been limited.
There are no other suspected cases on Waiheke.
Since the measles outbreak began in May there have been 229 confirmed cases of the disease in Auckland.
Health officials are urging anyone who has not been immunised against the disease to be vaccinated.
The Ministry of Health is working with the three Auckland district health boards to ensure there is a sufficient supply of the measles vaccine, as the disease continues to spread.
Officials will administer the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine for anyone who is not immunised free of charge.
The best protection against the disease is to have two doses of the MMR vaccine.
It is vital people born after January 1, 1969 check their immunisation status and if they are not vaccinated or have only received one dose of the vaccination, they should arrange an MMR vaccination.” Read more.
Flashback: UN Reports Measles Outbreaks in Ethiopia and Kenya – Dozens of Children Killed, Thousands Sickened – “GENEVA — United Nations officials say outbreaks of measles in Ethiopia and Kenya have killed dozens of children and sickened thousands of others. UNICEF spokeswoman Marixie Mercado said Friday at least 17,584 measles cases, including 114 deaths, have been reported by Ethiopian health officials in the first half of the year. World Health Organization spokesman Tarek Jasarevic says at least 462 cases of measles, including 11 deaths, have been confirmed in recent months among Somali refugee children in the Kenyan refugee complex known as Dadaab. He says 2 million children in Ethiopia are at risk of contracting measles.” Read more.
Flashback: Measles Outbreak in Britain Continues: More Cases in First 3 Months of 2011 Than All of 2010 – “Britain is facing a measles outbreak with nearly more cases reported in the first three months of this year than the whole of 2010. The rise has sparked health officials to urge eveyone to ensure they are immunised against the potentially deadly infection. Data from the Health Protection Agency (HPA) revealed 334 confirmed cases of measles to the end of April in England and Wales – compared with 374 in all of last year. London was the worst affected area, with 104 cases, while the North East of England and Wales fared best with no cases reported.” Read more.
Thailand: Over 320 People Killed in Floods, Gov’t Says It Will Be Impossible to Protect Bangkok
“The Thai government says it will be impossible to protect all of the capital from flooding because of a build-up of water to the north.
Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra said sluice gates would be opened to allow a controlled release of water through parts of Bangkok.
Describing the flooding as a ‘national crisis’, she said officials were doing all they could to solve the problem.
Over 320 people have died in the floods across the country since July.
Central Bangkok is protected by flood barriers which have been reinforced by troops in recent days.
But the run-off from severe flooding in central parts of the country has built up to the north of the capital, and several northern suburbs are already under water.
‘Every direction’
On Wednesday, officials urged residents in seven Bangkok districts to move their possessions to higher ground in preparation for possible flooding.
Ms Yingluck said that every way of slowing the water entering the city had been tried.
‘We cannot block the water forever,’ she said. ‘We need areas that water can be drained through so water can flow out to the sea.'” Read more.
