UK: Muslims Record Themselves Laughing At The Murder Of Lee Rigby Shortly After His Beheading

06/10/2013 1 comment

Although terror is no laughing matter for civilized societies, it apparently seems to evoke episodes of rip-roaring merriment within some of those who love death. Or maybe we’ve simply come across more “believers” seeking to laugh themselves to an early grave for the cause of Allah …

“Do not laugh too much, for laughing deadens the heart.” – The Prophet Mohammed, Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 2305; Ibn Maajah, 4193.

Description: “This is a very revealing video and should not be taken down by youtube. This is a video of some Moslems driving around the site of the murder of British soldier Lee Rigby, howling with laughter and making jokes and fun of Lee Rigby and his death. This is truly sickening and is this what some people really think about the murder and butcher of Lee Rigby?” Source – Youtube.

UK: Islamist Terror Group Planning ‘Another 9/11’ On British Soil Can’t Stop Laughing In Court – “A home-grown terror gang facing life in jail for plotting ‘another 9/11’ were today ordered to ‘stay quiet’ by a crown court judge as they laughed and joked in the dock while awaiting sentence. The 11 men, all from Birmingham, were ordered to be silent by Mr Justice Henriques at Woolwich Crown Court in south-east London and did not appear fazed by their impending prison sentences. The men, aged from 21 to 34, whom the court heard wanted to kill up to 2,000 Britons, are expected to be sentenced on Friday – but the hearing started today because there are so many defendants.” Read more.

Kenya: Devout ‘Religion Of Peace’ Devotees Toss Grenade Into Packed Christian Church During Sunday Service

06/10/2013 Leave a comment

For peaceful purposes …

Enca – “NAIROBI – At least 10 people were wounded in two separate attacks in Kenya, police said Sunday, including a blast at a church in Mombasa and a grenade hurled in a crowd in Nairobi.

In the port city of Mombasa, attackers on a motorbike threw a homemade bomb into a church service, wounding seven, while in Nairobi, a grenade was thrown in the largely ethnic Somali district of Eastleigh, police said.

The attacks are the latest in a string of grenade blasts or shootings to have hit Kenya, although it was not immediately clear if the two attacks were connected.

In Mombasa, coastal police chief Aggrey Adoli said that police were searching for the attackers.

‘The attack occurred at a crusade [church service],’ Adoli said. ‘Those injured have been taken to hospital.’

The blast was believed to be caused by an improvised petrol bomb.

In Nairobi, the capital’s police chief Benson Kibue said ‘a grenade was thrown at a crowd within the Majengo area of Eastleigh, and three people have been injured.’

Kenyan police have previously blamed similar grenade attacks on supporters or members of Somalia’s Al-Qaeda-linked Shebab insurgents.” Read more.

An Al-Shabaab loyalist Sheikh Hassan Takar said that the militia killed people who did not profess allegiance to Allah.” Read more.

Afghanistan: Islamists Behead Two Children In Kandahar For Accepting Food Handouts From Police

06/10/2013 Leave a comment

Because, even when you’re starving, if you accept food handouts from any infidels who disagree with Al Qaeda’s “pure” Islamic ideology, then you are automatically suspected of being an infidel yourself. The only thing “pure” about this ideology, however, is how evil it truly is …

BBC News – “The Taliban have beheaded two boys for spying in the southern Afghan province of Kandahar, officials say.

The boys, 10 and 16, had been scavenging for food in bins near police headquarters when they were abducted.

They are thought to have regularly accepted food handouts from police. Analysts say the Taliban are known to target those suspected of colluding with police.

But the Taliban have denied responsibility in this incident.

Spokesman Qari Yousef Ahmadi insisted to the BBC the group had not beheaded any children in the area.

Food for family

Kandahar’s governor, however, condemned the acts as inhumane and un-Islamic and the provincial government has pinned the blame firmly on the militants.

Although the boys were abducted on Sunday, their bodies were only recovered on Monday morning in Kandahar’s Zhari district.

News first emerged of the 10-year-old’s death and later on Monday the Kandahar provincial government office confirmed that a second boy had also been beheaded.

The 10-year-old boy was very poor and was known to take food going spare from the police to take home to his family, says the BBC’s Mahfouz Zubaide in Kabul.” Read more.

Trinidad And Tobago: Man Shot In Both Legs For Breaking Muslim-Imposed Curfew

06/10/2013 1 comment

By Joel Julien, Trinidad Express Tribune – “A Muslim group has imposed a curfew in the Richplain, Diego Martin area, the Sunday Express learned from a police source yesterday.

A young man who broke that curfew was held down and shot in both legs on Friday night.

Injured was 28-year-old Johann Moore.

Moore was last night at the Port of Spain General Hospital.

Police reports said he was walking to his family’s Richplain home around midnight when he was stopped by two armed men belonging to the religious group.

A designated ‘sentry post’ set up by members of the group is located outside a shop along Richplain Road.

The curfew begins at 10 p.m. and ends before the 6 a.m. call to prayer, the police source said.

Moore was punished for not adhering to the curfew.

He was held down on the ground and shot.

Moore hobbled to his home and officers of the West End Police Station were contacted.

Moore was then taken to hospital.

Head of the Police Service’s Western Division Snr Supt Ishmael David yesterday said he was concerned by the curfew imposed in Richplain.

‘We are concerned by that development. There is no curfew in the country and there should not be any imposed in any area. That is illegal,’ David said in a telephone interview yesterday.” Read more.

Syria: Islamists Execute 15-Year-Old Boy From Aleppo In Front Of Parents For ‘Heretical Comment’

06/10/2013 3 comments

No word on whether the child was Christian, but they accused the 15-year-old boy of “polytheism”, a false charge that Muslims often use to describe the Christian belief in the Triunity of God …

Reuters – “Members of an al Qaeda-linked Islamist group in the northern Syrian city of Aleppo executed a 15-year-old boy in front of his parents on Sunday as punishment for what the group regarded as a heretical comment, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.

Mohammad Qataa was shot in the face and neck a day after being seized, said the pro-opposition monitoring group, which is based in Britain and uses a network of observers across Syria.

‘The Observatory cannot ignore these crimes, which only serve the enemies of the revolution and the enemies of humanity,’ said the group’s leader Rami Abdulrahman.

A photo released by the Observatory showed Qataa’s face with his mouth and jaw bloodied and destroyed, as well as a bullet wound in his neck.

The Observatory, which based its report on witness accounts of the killing, said Qataa, who was a street vendor selling coffee in the working-class Shaar neighborhood, had been arguing with someone when he was overheard saying: ‘Even if the Prophet Mohammad comes down (from heaven), I will not become a believer.’

The gunmen, who belong to the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, a militant group that started off known as the Nusra Front, took Qatta on Saturday and brought him back alive in the early hours of Sunday to his wooden stand, with whiplash marks visible on his body.

‘People gathered around him and a member of the fighting brigade said: ‘Generous citizens of Aleppo, disbelieving in God is polytheism and cursing the prophet is a polytheism. Whoever curses even once will be punished like this.’

‘He then fired two bullets from an automatic rifle in view of the crowd and in front of the boy’s mother and father, and got into a car and left,’ the report said.” Read more.

California: San Francisco International Airport Uses Public Funds To Accomodate Ritual Foot Baths For Muslim Cab Drivers

06/10/2013 2 comments

Now that a few Muslim cab drivers have been given an inch, others will follow suit by looking for that extra mile. As we’ve seen elsewhere, we can soon expect to hear about other devout believers demanding the right to refuse service to passengers with dogs, or carrying alcohol in their luggage (or wearing yarmulkes, or “immodest” women).  And all for “peaceful purposes” which, in the words of one airport spokesman, translates into a “good relationship with ground transportation providers” …

SFGate – “Here’s a sign of the changing times — Muslim cabbies now have their very own place at San Francisco International Airport to wash their hands and feet before they pray.

Under Islamic law, Muslims are required to pray five times a day — a ritual that also calls for a ceremonial cleansing.

For many cab drivers, that’s meant either lugging bottled water around or using one of the bathrooms inside the terminal to wash — a practice not always welcomed by airport passengers.

So Royal Cab driver Hasan Khan, 52, a Pakistani immigrant, collected some 300 signatures from fellow cabbies, urging the airport to give them their own cleansing station.

Airport brass obliged — and the wash equipment was installed on the ground floor of the main garage, right next to where the drivers congregate for their breaks.

‘The way we look at it…this was in the interest of maintaining a good relationship with ground transportation providers,’ says airport spokesman Doug Yakel.

As for using public resources?

Yakel says the costs were nominal, with the work done by in-house plumbers.” Read more.

It Was Only A Matter Of Time: Turkish PM Erdogan Begins Blaming The Jews For Nationwide Protests, Civil Unrest

06/08/2013 Leave a comment

Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, one of Barack Hussein Obama’s greatest allies in the region, has openly blamed Israel for “insecurity” in the Middle East many times before. It’s quite apparent that he still perceives his southern Jewish neighbor as the root of all regional instabilities. If Turkey’s nationwide protests continue, what is implicitly inferred today may be explicitly expressed tomorrow. And we all have a pretty good idea of where this will all eventually lead

By Lori Lowenthal Marcus, The Jewish Press – “In one of Turkey’s largest newspapers, Sabah, the blame for all the rioting and ensuing damage to the Turkish economy is finally being blamed on the same people who were blamed for the Bubonic Plague, the death of the leader of one of the world’s great religions and Mel Gibson’s fall from grace…the financial lobby – some would call that code for ‘Jews.’

On Friday, June 7, an article appears in Sabah that reveals Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan spoke to ‘tens of thousands’ of supporters who came out to greet him when he returned from a three day visit to North African countries.

Erdoğan’s trip abroad happened during the worst of the ongoing nationwide protests in Istanbul’s Taksim Square, which were sparked by plans to level a large park to be used instead for commercial purposes.

‘We’ve gotten to this point despite the interest rates lobby, and this lobby right now thinks it’s threatening Turkey with speculation in the markets,’ is how Bloomberg reported the event. ‘No power can stop Turkey’s rise except God,’ while supporters chanted: ‘Open the way and we’ll crush Taksim.’

Erdogan has accused ‘extremist’ groups, including terrorist from far-left organizations, and ‘unidentified foreign provocateurs’ of having a role in the fiercest anti-government protests in years.

But Sabah, a fiercely pro-Erdoğan media outlet, merely quoted the Turkish Prime Minister of blaming a non-specific ‘financial lobby’ or ‘interest lobby.’  Perhaps Walt or Mearsheimer are looking for reporting opportunities – they may be a good fit for Sabah.” Read more.

Flashback: Turkey Installing New Military Tech That Will Allow Warplanes and Ships to Target Israel as the Enemy – “In yet another sign of the deterioration in Israel-Turkish ties, Turkey’s Star Gazete reported Tuesday that the military is installing new technology that will allow warplanes and ships to target Israeli vessels. Previously, Turkish planes, ships and submarines used American technology, which automatically classified Israeli equipment as ‘friendly.’ The new system, developed in Turkey, will allow the Turkish military to decide which targets to label as friendly. The switch was pioneered by Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s regime.” Read more.

Flashback: Turkey: An Aggressive Emerging Islamist Autocracy That May Soon Become ‘The Greatest Threat To Israel’ – “Bernard Lewis, one of the world’s greatest experts on the Islamic world … predicted that Turkey would evolve into an aggressive Islamist dictatorship and could become the greatest threat to Israel. Alas, his prediction about Turkey is being realized … Clearly [Erdogan’s] objective is to emerge as the popular leader of a neo-Ottoman Sunni Muslim arc. To promote this objective, he has consciously exploited popular hatred of Israel as a vehicle by which to gain widespread support from the Arab masses. To this end, he has transformed Turkey’s former close alliance with Israel into one of aggressive confrontation and demonization, emerging as one of the leading Arab states directing hostility against the Jewish state.” Read more.

Pakistan: Muslim Man Dismembers Wife For Stepping Outside Home, Says He Made Her An Example To Those Who Disobey Husbands

06/08/2013 2 comments

Qur’an Sura 4:34, “Men have authority over women because [Allah] has made the one superior to the other… Good women are obedient… As for those from whom you fear disobedience, admonish them and send them to beds apart and beat them. Then if they obey you, take no further action against them…”

And if they disobey you, follow the promptings of the Islamic spirit, wherever it may lead …

The Express Tribune – “All it took was a few minutes of insane rage and an axe, and the unthinkable happened. A life was snuffed out – the life of a woman, ironically by him who was supposedly her life partner and protector, by her husband.

A man axed his wife to death and cut her body in pieces over a petty squabble in a remote village of Garhi Habib Ullah, police said. The accused, allegedly an addict, after committing the ghastly murder, threw the body parts out in the fields. According to the police, upon being arrested, he confessed to his crime.

Waqar Khan, the Station House Officer (SHO) of the police station Garhi Habib Ullah said that the villagers informed him about the murder of a woman in village Kashtara, some 12 km from the police station.

According to Khan, the accused Muneer, 45, has admitted to his crime in the police station, adding that his wife Nasreen Bibi, 35, often used to stay out of home. Muneer would take this as an insult and often stopped her from leaving the house.

On the Sunday evening before the heinous crime was committed, she again dared to step out. Muneer searched for her but failed to find any clue. However on Monday evening she returned home and when he inquired about her whereabouts the whole night, her answers could not satisfy him. According to SHO Khan, Muneer got angry and asked her to lie flat on the ground with her face down. ‘Before attacking her, the accused asked her to loudly recite the Kalimas; once she did so, he committed the horrendous act.

When asked about the reason for his cruelty, Muneer told the police that he in doing so had made her a lesson for other women who do not obey their spouses…

According to Javed, Muneer would often beat Nasreen whenever she demanded food and clothes for herself and her children. About two years back, the accused had beaten her with a club, damaging her skull partially. The concussion had altered her mental balance. ‘We took her to our home and got her treated for several months but she never fully recovered,’ he said …” Read more.

By Nicolai Sennels, Jihad Watch – “This confirms what thinking people have known for many months, but few state authorities admit: that Western Muslims travelling to Syria to learn jihad are returning to the West in order to carry out attacks. Berlingske – FE: Westerners are the primary threat

The greatest threat to the West from al-Qaeda’s involvement in Syria is Westerners who have links to the militant network and return home with bad intentions, estimates The Danish Defence Intelligence Service.The Defence Intelligence Service (FE) is closely monitoring the civil war in Syria and its influence on Denmark’s security.

This is the conclusion in a new report from the FE that gives an insight into FE’s assessments and general work in 2011 and 2012.

Muslims United: Thousands Of Palestinians Call For Global Islamist Caliphate To ‘Bring The Coming’ Of Islam’s Savior – The Mahdi

06/08/2013 Leave a comment

Before reading the article below it is highly recommended that you read this article first

Isaiah 43:11, “I, even I, am the LORD, And besides Me there is no savior.”

By David Lev, INN – “Thousands of PA Arabs participated in a mass rally in Ramallah earlier this week calling for the establishment of the Muslim Caliphate – the worldwide Islamist government that will ‘bring the coming of the Mahdi.’ the Muslim messiah.

The Caliphate is essentially a union of Muslim countries under the spiritual and political leadership of a single individual, the Caliph. It has been an Islamic concept since the days of Muhammad, when it was established by several of his disciples. The office of ‘official Caliph’ has been disputed at times, with rival would-be Caliphs battling each other for the title.

The last official Caliph was Abdülmecid II, who lost the office in the aftermath of the defeat of Ottoman Turkey in World War I. The best-known Caliph in the West was Suleiman the Great, an early Ottoman sultan who, in the 16th century, conquered most of the Middle East and the Persian Gulf, even conquering parts of Europe, until he was stopped at ‘the Gates of Vienna.’

With many Muslim states politically and religiously divided, and dependent on the West for support, radical Islamists have been pushing for the reestablishment of the Caliphate – this time to be led by the all-powerful Mahdi, who will unite all Muslims and establish Islam as the dominant religion in the world, ruling for several years before the ‘Day of Judgment’. Although the identity of the Mahdi is a secret, many Islamists believe that he is alive now, and several individuals have claimed the title. Many Islamists were said to have believed that Osama Bin-Laden was the Mahdi, or his right-hand man, until he was killed several years ago by U.S. forces in Afghanistan.

The Ramallah rally included many students from Bir-Zeit University, the PA’s most prestigious university located north of Jerusalem and a major recipient of economic funding from the EU and the United States. Marchers gathered at a large mosque in El Bireh, a suburb of Ramallah, and marched to Manara Square, a large gathering place in central Ramallah. Speakers at the rally urged believers to ‘have faith’ in the future, to give up their Western ways, and to do more to fulfill the tenets of Islam.” Read more.

Yet Again: Group Of Suspected Muslim Youths In Germany Attack Rabbi

06/07/2013 Leave a comment

By BENJAMIN WEINTHAL, The Jerusalem Post – “BERLIN – A group of youths attacked a rabbi on Sunday evening in Offenbach, a city near Franfurt.

Six to eight ‘Mediterranean looking’ youths attacked the 39-year-old Rabbi Mendel Gurewitz. The youths pushed the rabbi and called him a ‘s****y Jew’.

The Orthodox rabbi filed a police complaint.

Police spokesman Rudi Neu, in southeast Hesse state where Offenbach is located, said a criminal complaint was filed and there was probable cause to investigate for an anti-Semitic hate crime, bodily injury and harassment.

After the initial verbal hostility, Gurewitz photographed the youths with his mobile phone, the police spokesman said. The youths ordered him to delete the photos.

The alleged attack took place in a shopping center passage. The authorities are reviewing video cameras from the shopping area for footage of the event.

Mark Dainow, the deputy director of the Jewish community in Offenbach, criticized the security personnel at the shopping location for failing to intervene to stop the aggressive activity of the youths.

Gurewitz was forced to flee the building and the youths pursued him. A friend of the rabbi drove by and rescued the rabbi by picking him up in his car.” Read more.

Violence And Brutality: Large Muslim Mobs In Bangladesh Attack Christian Village And Seminary, Violently Assault Students

For peaceful purposes …

AsiaNews – “Dhaka (AsiaNews) – A mob of dozens has raided a seminary of the diocese of Dinajpur, northern Bangladesh, injuring the rector and a group of students inside the building at the time of the attack. The raid took place at 3 pm yesterday: about 60 local fanatics broke down the doors of the Jisu Niloy seminary, pouring inside the compound. The group targeted the rector Fr. Uzzal, surprised in his room while he was resting; the assailants knocked down his door and violently beat him and some students present at the time of the attack.

During the assault, the fanatics blocked the young students of the seminary and beat them with violence and brutality. The Jisu Niloy seminary is located Bolakipur and refers to Marimpur parish in the Diocese of Dinajpur.

Previously, the same mob had raided the nearby tribal village – Catholic majority – of Tivipara and Bagja. The assault occurred at 1 .30 pm, they plundered the inhabitants of 40 cows, 50 goats, a van, fruit and many other objects and utensils. Before leaving, the assailants threatened to come back the next night and burn the residents homes.

Most of the men fled the area for fear of new attacks, the women and children, however, have found refuge in the Catholic mission, where there are more security guarantees. The Catholics of the area belong to the tribal Santals, Urao, Mundas, Kharias and Malos.

Over the past few days there have been a wave of assaults and targeted violence against the Christian community in Bangladesh, a largely Muslim nation: June 5 it was the turn of the parish of Tumilia, which was attacked by extremists. The parish priest Fr. Abel was beaten and robbed, along with another priest.” Source – AsiaNews.
