British PM: Brutal Beheading Of Man In Broad Daylight Was Terrorism, ‘We Will Not Be Cowed, We Will Never Buckle’
But we’ll allow the hateful ideology that encourages such acts of terror to remain, and flourish, in Britain …
The Washington Post – “LONDON — A brutal attack in broad daylight near a military barracks in London left one man dead and two suspects hospitalized Wednesday after a shootout with police. British Prime Minister David Cameron said the attack appeared to be terror related.
The afternoon attack occurred in the southeast London neighborhood of Woolwich, just a few blocks from the Royal Artillery Barracks.
One man was found dead and two men were shot by police and taken to separate London hospitals, Commander Simon Letchford said. One of those hospitalized was in serious condition, according to London Ambulance Service.
A number of weapons — including butchers’ knives — could be seen on the blood-spattered street…
One British broadcaster ran video footage of what appeared to be one of the attackers, his hands covered in blood, making political statements about ‘an eye for an eye’ to an unknown cameraperson as a body lay behind him on the ground…
Cameron said there were ‘strong indications’ it was a terrorist incident.
‘We have suffered these attacks before, we have always beaten them back,’ Cameron said. ‘We will not be cowed, we will never buckle.’
The British Cabinet’s emergency committee immediately called a meeting and the prime minister’s office said security was stepped up at barracks across London. Cameron cut short his Paris trip to return to London and his office said he would chair another emergency committee meeting Thursday.” Read more.
British Islamist Anjem Choudary: We Reject Freedom And Human Rights
“Freedom” and “human rights” are two concepts that are completely foreign to Islam, yet the British government allows this Western-hating Islamist to live freely in Western society with the full panoply of human rights that Western freedom provides. It’s time to remove this hate from free society before more heads are removed from their necks …
British Islamist Anjem Choudary, 4/11/2013: “Let me be absolutely clear: As Muslims, we reject democracy, we reject secularism, and freedom, and human rights. We reject all of the things that you espouse as being ideals. And, you know, it’s an oxymoron to say ‘The Islamic Republic.’ There’s nothing called a ‘republic’ in Islam. When we talk about the shari’a, we are talking about only the shari’a ….”
‘They Were Just Animals’: UK Muslims Screaming ‘Allahu Akbar’ Behead British Man With Machete On Public Street
The dead man is reported to have been a soldier. This sort of behavior will happen again. And not only in Britain …
Qur’an Sura 8:12b, “… terrorize and behead those who believe in scriptures other than the Qur’an.”
National Post – “LONDON — One person has died and at least two people were wounded in a violent attack near a military training barracks in London, British officials said Wednesday, as Prime Minister David Cameron called an emergency meeting in response.
While details were scant, Cameron called the killing ‘truly shocking’ and said he had asked Home Secretary Theresa May to call an urgent meeting of the government’s emergency committee.
The Daily Telegraph reported that a solider had been beheaded by a machete.
The series of events described by the paper had a black car crashing into a poll on the side of the road followed by two men coming out of the car with machetes. The two men then allegedly attacked the people around the car killing one and injuring others before they were subdued.
After allegedly killing the first man, the two attackers apparently walked around the body calling on onlookers to take photographs, according to witnesses.
Police would not comment immediately on whether the incident appeared to be terror-related. A U.K. official said the violent attack in London could be terror-related.
Scotland Yard said officers responded to reports of the assault Wednesday afternoon in the London neighbourhood of Woolwich, just a few blocks from a military training barracks. London Ambulance service said one man was found dead at the scene and two other men were taken to the hospital, with one in serious condition.
Britain’s Ministry of Defence said it was urgently investigating reports that a serving soldier was involved in the incident.
Live television images of the scene showed a trail of blood staining a pavement, cordoned off streets and crime scene investigators marking the scene.” Read more.
BBC News: Sickening and Barbaric – “Senior Whitehall sources have told the BBC that the Woolwich attackers are thought to have tried to film their attack whilst shouting ‘Allahu Akbar’ – [Allah is greater], says political editor Nick Robinson. The men were said to have been of Muslim appearance. The Prime Minister is expected to speak to the Home Secretary at 18:15 BST from a train to Paris about what is now being treated by government as a suspected terrorist attack, Mr Robinson says… One witness, identified only as James, said two men attacked another man, aged about 20, who was wearing a Help for Heroes T-shirt. ‘These two guys were crazed. They were just animals. They dragged him from the pavement and dumped his body in the middle of the road and left his body there,’ he told LBC radio.” Read more.
Canada: Three Muslim Brothers Face Gang Sexual Assault Charges In Toronto
By MARYAM SHAH, TORONTO SUN – “Three brothers face charges after a 22-year-old woman was sexually assaulted by multiple attackers.
Toronto Police investigators alleged that the victim was led to an underground parking garage and attacked after leaving a nightclub on May 18 in the Richmond St.-Spadina Ave. area.
‘The woman was forcibly confined in the SUV and sexually assaulted by two of the men while in the underground parking garage,’ a police news release said.
Police said that a man initially approached the victim and spoke with her at the nightclub.
That individual and two other men followed the woman when she left as part of a group, according to investigators.
Const. Tony Vella said one of the men approached the woman, offering her a ride.
The woman accepted the offer, he said.
The three men led her to an underground parking garage in the area, where she was sexually assaulted by two of them, according to police allegations.
Officers were called to Blue Jays Way and Windsor St. shortly before 4 a.m. after the woman’s friends became concerned.
‘The friends came back, they were concerned for her, they searched the area, they found her, and that’s when police were contacted,’ Vella said.
The three brothers were arrested shortly after.
According to the Criminal Code of Canada, sexual assault is defined as ‘any form of unwanted sexual contact.’
Nazeef Ahmadzai, 30, and his brothers — Hewad, 26, and Omeed, 24 — face charges of forcible confinement and gang sexual assault. Omeed and Nazeef also each face an additional charge of sexual assault.” Source – Sun News.

Switzerland: Government Report Claims That Muslim Immigrants Are ‘Well Integrated’ Into Society, Reality Says Otherwise
An exercise in political correctness indeed. I guess that Islamist groups seeking to overthrow the Democratic order in Europe and “confront this cancer of man-made laws” aren’t really interested in Switzerland. That Swiss authorities made up the claim that jihadists were using Switzerland as a base to promote Islamic extremism across Europe and beyond. That perpetually offended Muslims seeking the removal of the cross from Switzerland’s flag and Swiss company logos were only kidding, and actually want to see the full expression of free speech in Swiss society. And the real problem, according to the report? Why, it’s with people like you and I who expose acts of barbarism, not with those who actually commit them. In the words of one not-so-politically-correct Swiss member of Parliament, Oskar Freysinger, “What lunacy!” …
Islamic Scholar Sayyid Abul Ala Maududi: “Islam wishes to destroy all States and Governments anywhere on the face of the earth which are opposed to the ideology and programme of Islam regardless of the country or the Nation that rules it. Islam requires the earth – not just a portion – but the whole planet.”
By Soeren Kern, Gatestone Institute – “A controversial new report by the Swiss government claims that Muslim immigrants are so well integrated into Swiss society that no further federal policies or programs are needed to promote Muslim integration or to counter Islamic extremism.
Published by the Swiss Federal Council [Bundesrat] on May 8, the 102-page study — known by the short title, ‘The Situation of Muslims in Switzerland‘ — so completely downplays the countless problems associated with Muslim immigration in Switzerland that the report has been ridiculed as being worthy of a ‘case study in political correctness.’
The report was first commissioned by proponents of multiculturalism within the Swiss Cabinet shortly after Swiss voters overwhelmingly approved a referendum in November 2009 to ban the construction of minarets, the tower-like structures on mosques that are often used to call Muslims to prayer.
The surprise outcome of the referendum, which passed with a clear majority of 57.5% of the voters, represented a turning point in the debate about Muslim immigration in Switzerland.
Among other matters, the referendum exposed the growing gap between Swiss multiculturalists and ordinary Swiss voters on the issue of Muslim immigration. The Swiss Federal Council had campaigned hard against the ban, arguing it would ‘endanger peace between religions’ and ‘hinder integration.’ After the ban was approved, the government launched a multi-pronged effort to ‘educate’ the Swiss populace through taxpayer-funded pro-Islam research.
The latest report estimates the Muslim population of Switzerland to be between 350,000 and 400,000, or around 5% of the total population of 8 million. The vast majority of Muslims in the country originate from the Balkans, Turkey and North Africa, and roughly one-third are Swiss citizens. Many of them are second- and third-generation immigrants firmly establishing themselves in Switzerland.
The report says that most Muslims in Switzerland are not religious; only 12% to 15% of Muslims in the country regularly attend a mosque. According to the study, Islam in Switzerland is neither homogenous nor monolithic; it is organized around multiple ethno-linguistic identities that rarely interact with each other.
The greatest barriers to Muslim integration are due to language, not religion, says the study, and serious problems related to Islam occur ‘only in exceptional cases.’ The study notes that the vast majority of Muslims are fully integrated into Swiss society, that Islam presents no particular problems for daily life in Switzerland, and that Islam rarely leads to social conflict. As a result, the study says, the government has decided that no further measures are necessary to promote Muslim integration.
At the same time, however, the report says that Muslims in Switzerland often feel discriminated against, and that the government needs to do more to educate Swiss citizens about ‘Islamophobia.’ Muslim ‘victims’ also need to be better informed of their legal rights under existing anti-discrimination laws.
Needless to say, Muslims have welcomed the government’s conclusions. In a press release, the Islamic Central Council of Switzerland (IZRS), a radical Salafist group that states its desire to install Islamic Sharia law in Switzerland, said the report

When more and more Muslims being welcomed into Western nations are encouraged to embrace their own Islamic culture in the name of multiculturalism, don’t be surprised when they actually do …
By Bruce Bawer, Frontpage Mag – “Husby is a neighborhood in western Stockholm which in 2007 had just over 11,000 inhabitants, fully 81.9% of whom were immigrants or the children of immigrants. The other interesting fact in the brief Wikipedia entry on Husby is that the area contains ‘many runestones…remnants from when Vikings used to live here.’
There are, alas, few other signs of the area’s Viking heritage.
The story begins on May 14, when Stockholm police were forced to shoot a man who was wielding a machete at them. He died. The cops were immediately accused of police brutality. A ‘community group’ called Megafonen urged locals to demonstrate ‘for social justice and again st police violence.’
Last Sunday evening, apparently acting upon this suggestion, Husby erupted in the kind of wide-scale ‘youth’ violence that has plagued suburbs in France and elsewhere for years. A school, a garage, and almost 100 cars were set on fire. And a gang attacked a cop.
On Monday evening, in further accordance with the Gallic precedent, things got even worse. Chaos reigned. Different reports provided different details, some of them sketchy. There were explosions. As of 9:36 PM Monday, Stockholm time, it was being reported that police officers were ‘running for their lives from youth gangs.’ Twenty or so masked ‘youths’ threw rocks at police officers and firefighters. A reporter for the newspaper Expressen narrowly missed being hit by a metal pipe. One report mentioned ‘youths’ stealing fire hoses. When ‘youths’ set fire to a parking garage, police had to evacuate fifty people from a nearby apartment house. Four or five ‘youths’ beat up a cop on a bridge before he managed to flee. As he ran off, a girl could be heard laughing and shouting ‘Allah akbar!’
In Husby, at least three police cars were reported to have been vandalized. Meanwhile reports began to come in of cars on fire in other parts of western Stockholm. ‘The situation is escalating constantly,’ a police spokesperson said on Monday evening. Late that night, The Local reported that over 100 cars had been set on fire in Husby and that a local shopping center had been vandalized, causing injury to three police officers.” Read more.

Gaza: Muslim Student Union Calls For Global Holocaust Of Jews To ‘Keep The World Clean’
Hadith, Tabari 7:97, “The morning after the murder of Ashraf, the Prophet declared, ‘Kill any Jew who falls under your power.’”
By Maayana Miskin, INN – “The Hamas-affiliated student union in Gaza published a cartoon Tuesday in which a person whose body is made of a Palestinian Authority flag is seen throwing a Star of David – one of the best-known Jewish symbols – into a garbage can.
Text under the picture says, ‘Keep the world clean.’
The cartoon uses a Star of David rather than an explicitly Israeli symbol, indicating that it is meant to refer to Judaism or the Jewish nation as a whole and not the state of Israel alone.
The student union in question is known as the Islamic Bloc – in Arabic, al-Kutla al-Islamiya. It operates in high schools, universities and other educational institutions in Gaza. Its primary purpose is to teach the next generation about the importance of, in Hamas’ words, freeing Palestine from the Israeli occupation.
Hamas views all of Israel as occupied territory and justifies attacks on Israeli civilians as ‘resistance.’
Many teenagers active in the Islamic Bloc are sent to join the al-Kassam Brigades – the Hamas cells responsible for rocket fire on Israel. Some teen boys are sent to join the cells before finishing high school.” Source – INN.

Florida: Muslim Man With Ties To Boston Marathon Bombing Suspect Turns Violent During FBI Questioning, Shot Dead By Agent
A friend of the deceased says he wasn’t a “radicalized” Muslim. He was just a Muslim (who is commanded in the Qur’an to “fight those of the disbelievers who are near to you, and let them find harshness in you”). Even if it gets you killed …
Qur’an Sura 25:52, “Therefore listen not to the Unbelievers, but strive against them with the utmost strenuousness …”
By Wesley Lowery and John R. Ellement, Globe Staff – “A Chechen man with ties to Boston Marathon bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev was shot and killed by an FBI agent in Orlando early today when the man attacked the agent, the FBI said in a statement.
The FBI identified the person shot and killed as Ibragim Todashev, 27.
Two Massachusetts State Police troopers were also participating in the questioning at the time of the fatal shooting, the FBI said. State Police spokesman David Procopio had no comment.
According to the FBI and local news accounts, the shooting took place in an apartment on Peregrine Avenue while Todashev was being questioned about the bombings and Tamerlan Tsarnaev.
‘The agent along with two Massachusetts State Police troopers and other law enforcement personnel were interviewing an individual in connection with the Boston Marathon bombing investigation when a violent confrontation was initiated by the individual,’ the FBI said in an updated summary of the incident released around 10:30 a.m.
The FBI had not previously disclosed that State Police were part of the interviewing team.
‘During the confrontation, the individual was killed and the agent sustained non-life threatening injuries,’ the FBI said. ‘As this incident is under review, we have no further details at this time.’…
[Friend of the deceased] Taramiv insisted that Todashev was not a radicalized Muslim, and that he had no role in, nor did he know anything about, the Marathon terrorist attack.
‘He was not a radical. He was a Muslim,’ Taramiv said. ‘I’m a Muslim. That’s it. … He never had a gun. … He was shocked’ by the attacks.” Read more.
Tunisian Man Visiting Saudi Arabia Dies From New Coronavirus, Health Experts Worry Annual Hajj Could Lead To Global Outbreak
By Paul Schemm, The Associated Press – “RABAT, Morocco — A 66-year-old Tunisian man has died from the new coronavirus following a visit to Saudi Arabia and two of his adult children were infected with it, the Tunisian Health Ministry reported.
His sons were treated and have since recovered but the rest of the family remains under medical observation, the ministry said in a statement Monday. The World Health Organization confirmed the cases of the children, but said one of them was a daughter who was with her father for part of the trip to Saudi Arabia and Qatar. There was no immediate way to reconcile the differing reports.
The cases are the first for Tunisia and indicate that the virus is slowly trickling out of Saudi Arabia, where more than 30 coronavirus cases have been reported. There have been at least 20 deaths worldwide out of 40 cases.
‘These Tunisia cases haven’t changed our risk assessment, but they do show the virus is still infecting people,’ said Gregory Hartl, a spokesman for WHO in Geneva.
The Tunisian fatality, a diabetic, had been complaining of breathing problems since his return from the trip and died in a hospital in the coastal Tunisian city of Monastir. Many previous coronavirus patients have had underlying medical problems, which WHO said might have made them more susceptible to getting infected. There is no specific treatment for the disease, but the agency has issued guidelines for how doctors might treat patients, like providing oxygen therapy and avoiding strong steroids.
The new virus has been compared to SARS, an unusual pneumonia that surfaced in China then erupted into a deadly international outbreak in early 2003.” Read more.
Professor of Health Science at Curtin University in Western Australia: “My main concern would be with the Hajj in mid-October this year, when about 2 million Muslims visit Saudi Arabia for the great pilgrimage. If the number of novel coronavirus cases continues to rise, Australia may have to consider setting up a special system to track returning pilgrims in case they develop a respiratory illness. There is no specific treatment for coronavirus infection, but those infected need to be isolated in hospital with barrier nursing precautions to prevent spread.” Read more.
World Health Organization Warns Saudi Coronavirus May Be Spreading, Calls For Urgent Search For Source – “The World Health Organization has issued a blunt assessment of the coronavirus outbreak in Saudi Arabia, acknowledging for the first time that there are concerns the virus may be spreading from person to person, at least in a limited way. The statement called for urgent investigations to find the source of the virus and learn how it is infecting people… The warnings come as health leaders from around the world are gathering in Geneva for the World Health Assembly …” Read more.

‘Burn Their Homes To The Ground!’: Pakistani Cleric Calls Upon Muslims To Violently Attack Christians Over Mosque Loudspeakers
For peaceful purposes …
Christian Today – “A Muslim political candidate suspected of murdering a Christian has instigated calls from mosque loudspeakers for attacks on Christians, whom he blames for his May 11 election loss.
Tensions were high in Punjab Province’s Okara district after provincial assembly seat candidate Mehr Abdul Sattar, sought by police in connection with a 2008 murder, on May 13 arranged for mosque calls for violence against Christian villages.
‘Burn their homes to the ground … Punish them such that they forget Gojra and Joseph Colony,’ blared village mosques in the district, according to Younas Iqbal, chairman of the Anjuman-e-Mazareen Punjab, a peasant movement fighting for land rights.
Iqbal told Morning Star News by phone that that when unofficial election results were announced on May 12, Sattar’s supporters ambushed a convoy of about 100 Christians on their way to congratulate his opponent on his victory.
‘They destroyed two motorcycles and threw them in the canal, besides damaging a tractor,’ Iqbal said. ‘We went to the Okara Saddar Police Station to register a case, but the police officials refused to move against Mehr.’
Recent religious furor has been easily stoked in Pakistan. In Lahore on March 9, about 3,000 Muslims attacked Christians in Joseph Colony, destroying 175 homes, after rumors spread of an alleged remark against Islam by a Christian. In Gojra in 2009, eight Christians were burned alive, 100 houses looted and 50 homes set ablaze after a blasphemy accusation.” Read more.

Reality Promptly Smacks Young Israelis In The Face After Engaging In ‘Interfaith Dialogue’ With Palestinian Muslims
If only reality would promptly smack the media and Western leadership just as hard …
“Moderate” Palestinian Cleric
By Shoebat Foundation – “We’d like to take a moment and vent to our readers, who will likely feel like venting themselves. For years, we – and others – have been screaming that the Palestinians have no interest in peace and it doesn’t matter what the Israelis offer (unless the offer includes mass suicide).
Now this from Lital Shemesh, via the Jewish Times:
I participated in the Dialogue for Peace Project for young Israelis and Palestinians who are politically involved in various frameworks. The project’s objective was to identify tomorrow’s leaders and bring them closer today, with the aim of bringing peace at some future time.
The project involved meetings every few weeks and a concluding seminar in Turkey.
On the third day of the seminar after we had become acquainted, had removed barriers, and split helpings of rachat Lukum [a halva-like almond Arab delicacy] as though there was never a partition wall between us, we began to touch upon many subjects which were painful for both sides. The Palestinians spoke of roadblocks and the IDF soldiers in the territories, while the Israeli side spoke of constant fear, murderous terrorist attacks, and rockets from Gaza.
The Israeli side, which included representatives from right and left, tried to understand the Palestinians’ vision of the end of the strife– “Let’s talk business.” The Israelis delved to understand how we can end the age-old, painful conflict. What red lines are they willing to be flexible on? What resolution will satisfy their aspirations? Where do they envision the future borders of the Palestinian State which they so crave?
We were shocked to discover that not a single one of them spoke of a Palestinian State, or to be more precise, of a two-state solution.
They spoke of one state – their state. They spoke of ruling Jaffa, Tel Aviv, Akko, Haifa, and the pain of the Nakba [lit. the tragedy – the establishment of the State of Israel]. There was no future for them. Only the past. “There is no legitimacy for Jews to live next to us” – this was their main message. “First, let them pay for what they perpetrated.”
Winston Churchill once wrote:
One day President Roosevelt told me that he was asking publicly for suggestions about what the war should be called. I said at once, “The Unnecessary War.” There never was a war more easy to stop than that which has just wrecked what was left of the world from the previous struggle.
Churchill warned of the Nazis and was dismissed by his countrymen as a crazy extremist from the lunatic fringe. That was before his warnings bore out. Had the been heeded, when he issued them, WWII would have been Read more…
