UK: Muslim Community Vilifies Mother After She Reports Local Imam To Police For Molesting Her Two Young Sons

03/29/2012 1 comment

Moral of the story? Some members of the Muslim community must believe that it is perfectly ok to sexually assault young children

“AN IMAM who sexually assaulted two boys has been jailed for three years.

Yazeid Osama Aqqad, 24, of Alfreton Road, Radford, touched one boy when he was sitting on his lap on two occasions and abused another boy after inviting him to sit on his lap.

The mother of the two boys has been ‘vilified’ by the Muslim community for reporting the assaults, Nottingham Crown Court heard.

She has been subjected to ‘a number of unpleasant incidents’ including an episode at her home and damage to her car, Sarah Knight, prosecuting, said.

The mother told the court she felt the acts were aimed at encouraging her to withdraw the allegations because in the eyes of the Muslim community, she had committed a sin.

Aqqad denied the offences during his trial, but was found guilty unanimously of three allegations of sexual assault on a male child under the age of 13 years.

Judge Andrew Hamilton disqualified him from working with children and ordered him to sign the sex offenders’ register for life.

Muslim leaders in Nottingham who were contacted by the Post condemned Aqqad’s actions and said the mother was absolutely right to report him.

Councillor Mohammed Ibrahim, who represents Berridge ward on the city council said: ‘There are people in every community who break laws and if someone is found to have broken the law, they should be punished.'” Source – This Is Nottingham.

“CLINTONVILLE – The booming and shaking continues in Clintonville.

Clintonville police say they received about 65 calls Tuesday night, from people reporting three or four loud booms. Officials say the calls came in from 10:35 until 11:40 p.m.

Authorities say the reports came from the same part of the city that has been experiencing the booms for more than a week, but there were also some reports farther west, including Clinton Avenue. Several callers told police that these booms were stronger than those from last week, but no damage has been reported.

City officials have been in contact with the U.S. Geological Survey about the latest booms. City Administrator Lisa Kuss says she called them last night when the booms were reported, she says she plans to touch base with them again Wednesday morning.

Kuss is reminding Clintonville residents to stay patient during this time.

Last week, officials confirmed a magnitude 1.5 earthquake hit the city.” Source – WLUK-TV.

France: President Sarkozy Bans ‘Radical’ Imams from Entering France

03/28/2012 Leave a comment

Sarkozy believes that Islam has nothing to do with acts inspired by the inherent hatred written within the pages of the Qur’an and the Hadith, yet bans one of the world’s most influential Islamic figures who just so happens to also be one of the Muslim Brotherhood’s spiritual leaders. This obviously begs the question: What religion does the French President believe these people are following? …

By RACHEL RICKARD STRAUS – “France is to ban radical Muslim preachers from entering the country as part of a crackdown after shootings by an al Qaeda-inspired gunman in Toulouse, President Nicolas Sarkozy said today.

The President said he would block the entry of some imams invited to an Islamic conference next month, organised by the Union of French Islamic Organisations (UOIF).

The UOIF, one of three Muslim federations in France, is regarded as close to Egypt’s Islamist Muslim Brotherhood.

‘I have clearly indicated that there certain people who have been invited to this congress who are not welcome on French soil,’ Mr Sarkozy told France Info radio.

The crackdown follows the murder of seven people in Toulouse by Islamic extremist Mohammed Merah, 23…

One imam banned by the President is Sheikh Youssef al-Qaradawi, an Egyptian cleric based in Qatar who is one of the most prominent Sunni Muslim clerics in the Arab world and a household name in the Middle East due to regular appearances on the Al Jazeera news channel.” Read more.

Report: Islamists Recruited Fighters in Nice, France – “French police discovered an Islamist network, four months ago in Nice, which recruited 30 Muslim youth to fight coalition forces in Afghanistan, according to a Tuesday-morning report by Kol Yisrael government radio. Arrested in the case was Omar Diabi, a Muslim preacher born in Senegal, who was a member of an organization that was banned at the beginning of the month. Mohammad Merah, who murdered seven people in the Toulouse area – including a teacher and four children at the Otzar Hatorah synagogue, was a member of the organization, as was his brother, who is under investigation in the case.” Source – INN.

Boy beaten near Paris Jewish school amid tensions – “A 12-year-old boy was beaten outside his Jewish school in Paris by youths reciting anti-Semitic slogans, school officials said, amid high security and tensions in France following killings of Jewish children and a rabbi last week. The boy did not suffer serious injuries… Jean-Paul Amoyelle, president of the Ozar Hatorah network in France, lamented Monday’s beating. ‘There was a feeling of solidarity for our schools after this drama (in Toulouse),’ he told The Associated Press. ‘Now I fear that this has provoked a hostile reaction, shown by the attitude of these boys who called him dirty Jew and beat him up.'” Read more.

Canada: Mystery ‘Boom’ Noise Rattles Barrie, Ontario Neighbourhood

03/22/2012 2 comments

“A neighbourhood in Barrie’s northwest end was rattled Tuesday night when a ‘sonic boom’ brought residents out of their homes.

Rob Higgins and his two sons were watching TV around 10 p.m. when a loud noise, described as jet plane breaking the sound barrier, ripped through the Wallace Drive home.

‘It was like a loud sonic boom. When I went outside, numerous neighbours came out to see what happened,’ Higgins said. ‘No one could see anything. Some people said it sounded like a major car crash.’

At least 10 neighbours were on the street looking around in curiosity when Higgins and his family were surprised by the sound.

‘Originally, I thought it was some huge thing was thrown at our house. Not a car, but maybe a big barrel or something large,’ he said. ‘I went outside a realized everyone heard something and it couldn’t have just been our house.'” Read more.

China: Has An Attempted Military Coup Taken Place in Beijing?

03/21/2012 1 comment

By Bill Gertz – “U.S. intelligence agencies monitoring China’s Internet say that from March 14 to Wednesday bloggers circulated alarming reports of tanks entering Beijing and shots being fired in the city as part of what is said to have been a high-level political battle among party leaders – and even a possible military coup.

The Internet discussions included photos posted online of tanks and other military vehicles moving around Beijing.

The reports followed the ouster last week of senior Politburo member and Chongqing Party Secretary Bo Xilai, who was linked to corruption, but who is said to remain close to China’s increasingly nationalistic military.

Chinese microblogging sites Sina Weibo, QQ Weibo, and the bulletin board of the search engine Baidu all reported ‘abnormalities’ in Beijing on the night of March 19.

The comments included rumors of the downfall of the Shanghai leadership faction and a possible ‘military coup,’ along with reports of gunfire on Beijing’s Changan Street. The reports were quickly removed by Chinese censors shortly after postings and could no longer be accessed by Wednesday.

The unusual postings included reports that military vehicles were sent to control Changan Street, along with plainclothes police officers and metal barriers.

Another posting quoted internal sources as saying senior Communist Party leaders are divided over the ouster of Mr. Bo. The divide was said to pit Prime Minister Wen Jiabao and against party security forces and Minister of Public Security Zhou Yongkang.

Late Wednesday, another alarming indicator came when Beijing authorities ordered all levels of public-security and internal-security forces under Mr. Zhou to conduct nationwide study sessions, although Mr. Zhou’s name was not on the order – a sign his future may be in doubt.

Additional references on Chinese social media included vague mention of high-level party political struggles and related police activity in Beijing.

One posting referred to a mysterious atmosphere in Beijing and a reported shooting Tuesday night. The posting was quickly censored by authorities.” Read more.

Forcing Women to Marry Their Rapists

03/20/2012 Leave a comment

By Arnold Ahlert – “While American progressives remain in high dudgeon over a woman’s ‘right’ to ‘free’ government-provided contraception, a genuine woman’s rights issue has been unfolding in Morocco. In Larache, near the city of Tangiers, 16-year-old Amina Filali committed suicide after she was forced by a judge to marry. Whom did the judge force her to marry? Her rapist. ‘The prosecutor advised my daughter to marry, he said ‘go and make the marriage contract,’’ said Lahcen Filali, the girl’s father. Thus, once again the wonders of Sharia-based jurisprudence are revealed.

This outrage is actually codified. Article 475 of the Moroccan penal code states that a rapist may be exonerated of his crime if he marries his victim. In Morocco, rape is punishable by five to ten years in prison, but the sentence doubles to ten to twenty years if the victim is a minor. The law is designed to protect the honor of the family, which is considered stained when a woman loses her virginity prior to getting married. Marrying one’s rapist simultaneously ‘restores’ that honor and exonerates the rapist of his crime.

Incredibly, the 26-year-old attacker initially refused to marry his victim, and only relented when faced with prosecution. Perhaps his reluctance was bolstered by the reality that, in many cases of reported sexual misconduct, Moroccan law puts the burden of proof on the victim. If a woman can’t prove she was attacked, she risks being prosecuted for debauchery.

Apparently Amina Filali, raped a year earlier at the age of 15, couldn’t cope with such ‘reasonableness.’ On March 10th, she swallowed rat poison to escape her court-mandated fate. According to local media reports, the girl had complained to her mother that her husband/rapist ‘beat her repeatedly’ during the five months they were married. It was further reported that her own family disowned her as a result of those complaints. As for the girl’s husband, witnesses told the media he Read more…

Pat Condell: Tell The Truth About Islam (Video)

03/20/2012 Leave a comment

I don’t often find myself agreeing with nearly everything that a professing atheist will say when he’s given the opportunity to speak openly non-stop for seven full minutes, but I have to hand it to Pat Condell once again for another great video commentary. When the truth is spoken, even by an atheist, it is still the truth …

Condell: “The ‘Islamophobia Industry’ is quick to whine and complain at every opportunity, as everybody knows, and lately they’ve been whining and complaining about what they call ‘Negative Coverage of Islam in the British Media,’ by which they mean truthful coverage, although in truth we don’t get nearly enough of that. For example, when it was revealed recently that there’s been a large increase in so-called ‘honor violence‘ where Muslim women are brutalized and murdered by members of their own family, nowhere in the BBC report did it mention the one crucial ingredient: the ‘Religion of Peace.’ This salient piece of information was carefully airbrushed out as if to imply that this is a British phenomenon, as if society as a whole is to blame.

Similarly, we’re always hearing about organized gangs of Muslim men exploiting and raping underage girls, yet the media never refers to these men by their religion, whose mysogynistic values have shaped their view of women, preferring instead to label them ‘Asians,’ which is a gross slander on Hindus and Sikhs who don’t engage in this kind of behavior yet who are tarred with the same brush by cowardly and dishonest journalists afraid to offend the whining, over-sensitive professional victims of Islam.

People often say all the bad things about Islam are cultural. They’re not religious. Really?  What happens in Saudi Arabia isn’t culture. It’s pure religion. It’s pure Islam. And it’s pure insanity …”

UK: Six Muslim Men Record Their Gang-Rape of Teenage Girl

03/20/2012 Leave a comment

Revelation 9:21, “And they did not repent of their murders … or their sexual immorality …”

“The footage of the rapes, which happened over the course of an evening in May 2010, was recovered from a mobile phone and shown to a jury at Leeds crown court.

The jury heard that the girl and her friend visited the home of one of the men to buy cannabis. The alleged victim stayed after she was offered alcohol, although her friend left.

One of the men then told another that he could have 10 minutes with the girl in the bedroom.

Prosecuting, Sharon Beattie, said: ‘If this is right, from the off Ali Rehman was set on this girl being available for the sexual gratification of himself and his friends and the fact she could not walk demonstrates she was vulnerable to all these men.’

The girl remembers waking up between two of the men, ‘crying, saying no and pushing them away’, Beattie said.

The girl was then ferried between different properties where she was raped again. At one stage, she was put in a cab to one of the properties.

The court heard that DNA from one of the defendants was found on the girl’s clothes. She had initially denied anything inappropriate took place because she was ‘concerned about people finding out what had happened’, Beattie added.

Mohammed Ali Rehman, 26, of Dewsbury, denies three counts of rape and one of attempted rape. Faisar Younas, 23, of Dewsbury, denies rape.

Hasan Rehman, 18, and Wahid Hussain, 20, both of Dewsbury, deny attempted rape.

Saqib Hussain, 31, of Ravensthorpe, and Larasab Hussain, 46, of Dewsbury, both deny sexual assault.” Source – European Freedom Initiative.

‘Education’ in America: Children Now Being Taught an Alternate, Sanitized Version of September 11, 2011

03/20/2012 Leave a comment

By Drew Zahn – “Who perpetrated the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001 – a group of men merely fighting ‘for a cause,’ or a band of radical Muslims bent on violent jihad?

According to a new, comprehensive study of 6th-12th grade textbooks used by schools across the country, America’s children are being taught a very different answer to that question than many alive to witness 9/11 remember.

The non-profit organization ACT! for America Education studied 38 textbooks from popular publishers like McGraw Hill and Houghton Mifflin, for example, to determine whether American schoolchildren are being taught the truth about Islam and its role in 9/11.

The report, titled ‘Education or Indoctrination? The Treatment of Islam in 6th through 12th Grade American Textbooks,’ compares what it found in the textbooks with 275 historical sources, listing 375 footnoted citations, to conclude that America’s textbooks are laced with ‘historical revisionism.’

‘This report shines a bright light on a pattern of errors, omissions and bias in the textbooks reviewed,’ explained ACT! for America Education founder Brigitte Gabriel in an email. ‘To give you just one example of the errors our research uncovered, in discussing the 9/11 attacks, the textbooks typically fail to mention the perpetrators were Muslims or that they acted in the cause of Islamic jihad. In one book the terrorists are portrayed as people fighting for a cause.

‘In just a few years after Sept. 11,’ she continues, ‘the history of what happened on that tragic day was rewritten in our school textbooks. Omitting this vital information, that jihad was the motivation for the attacks, makes it difficult, if not impossible, for today’s young teens, who don’t remember 9/11, to really understand what happened that day – and why.’

According to the executive summary of the report, ‘The full report reveals a pattern of historical revisionism, omissions and bias in the presentation of all aspects devoted to Islam in these textbooks. These aspects include its theology and doctrines, its role as a world religion, its ongoing struggle with Western tradition and its intrinsic anti-Semitism.’

The summary continues, ‘Textbook errors identified in the report range from egregiously false historical statements to significant omissions and subtle half-truths. Some are blatant and obvious, others are subtle and deceptive. The errors in these textbooks are not grammatical or typographical. They are substantive, significant and often repetitive.’

For example, the report notes the textbook ‘World History: Patterns of Interaction,’ published by McDougal Littell/Houghton Mifflin in 2007, glosses over the Read more…

Cities in America and Europe Increase Security at Synagogues Following France School Shooting

03/20/2012 Leave a comment

By Perry Chiaramonte & Mike Levine – “Police departments across the nation and around the world have beefed up security at synagogues following shootings at Jewish sites in France.

Washington, D.C.; San Francisco and New York dispatched extra patrols to locations where Jews may gather, though law enforcement officials stressed there were no specific threats. New York had security details at more than 50 locations following the killings of four people at a school in Toulouse, France. Those shootings were done by a gunman on a motor scooter, and came after a similar assailant killed three French soldiers in the region.

‘We have to be concerned about what happens overseas. We have a significant Jewish population in this city, and we have to take that into account,’ NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly said on Monday.

‘We know that we’re the top of the terrorist target list, so we’re concerned about the so-called copycat syndrome, where someone might see the events unfolding in Toulouse and take it upon themselves to act out,’ he added.

The NYPD has primarily sent out an increased uniform presence to houses of worship and other locations such as the Jewish Museum and the 92nd Street Y, both in Manhattan.

Security was ramped up in the nation’s capital, though officials declined to give details.” Read more.

Guarded sites refers to government facilities like embassies and consulates, while ‘soft sites’ means Jewish synagogues, and schools, as well as community centers like the one hit by a terrorist bombing in Buenos Aires in 1994 that killed 85 people.” Read more.

Angry Muslim Turk’s Message for Europe: Whether You Like It Or Not, ‘We are Coming’

03/19/2012 Leave a comment

By Soeren Kern – “A second-generation Muslim immigrant in Austria has authored a provocative new book in which he argues that Europe’s future is Turkish, whether Europeans like it or not.

The book’s short, sharp and confrontational title says it all: ‘We are Coming.’

The thesis is: ‘Regardless of whether or not you [Europeans] like us [Turks], whether or not you integrate us, whether or not you want us in the European Union, our influence in Europe is growing. We are more numerous. We are younger. We are more ambitious. Our economy is growing faster. We are stronger.’

The author, a 25-year-old Austrian-Turk named Inan Türkmen, says his objective in writing the book is to change the terms of the debate about Muslim immigration in Europe.

Türkmen — who was born in Austria to Kurdish migrants and speaks fluent German — says he is sick and tired of the way Turkish immigrants are being portrayed in the European media. He believes the time has come for Turks to fight back.

Taking a page from the playbook of the American Tea Party movement, Türkmen says he wants to establish an ‘angry citizen movement’ (Wutbürgerbewegung) in Europe. His Turkish Tea Party would unite Turkish immigrants in Austria, Germany and other European countries to protest against European ‘arrogance.’

In an interview with the Vienna-based newspaper Die Presse, Türkmen says he decided to write ‘We are Coming’ after getting ‘hot under the collar’ over a recent book about Muslim immigration by the renowned German economist Thilo Sarrazin.

Sarrazin’s best-selling book, ‘Germany Does Away With Itself,’ broke Germany’s long-standing taboo on discussing the impact of Muslim immigration. The book, which was first published in August 2010, is now on its 22nd edition. At last count, more than two million copies have been sold, making it one of the most widely read titles in Germany since the Second World War.” Read more.

Pakistan: 50% of Women Beaten by Their Husbands, 74% of Non-Muslim Women Sexually Harassed, Gender-Based Crimes Increase

03/18/2012 Leave a comment

Keep in mind, this study only reports those who admit to being beaten by their husbands. The actual percentage could be even higher …

Qur’an Sura 38:44,  “And take in your hand a green branch and beat her with it, and do not break your oath …”

Hadith – Abu Dawud, 2142, “The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: A man will not be asked as to why he beat his wife.”

“Fifty percent of women in Pakistan’s urban areas admit that their husbands beat them, a 2009 US State Department report on Pakistan has revealed.

In 2009, efforts were in progress to come out with a new domestic violence law in Pakistan. A private bill on domestic violence had been passed in the National Assembly in 2009, which required approval by the Pakistani Senate.

However, the Council of Islamic Ideology’s (CII) warning that a law against domestic violence will ‘push up divorce rates’ coupled with Mohammad Khan Sheerani’s objections (of the JUI-F), led to a deferment of the hearing in the Senate. Since then the government has not paid much attention to the matter and the bill has lapsed, The Express Tribune reports.

It appears that due to a fault within our social structure, even urban women not only tend to have a high tolerance for domestic violence, but also are often at the forefront of inflicting pain on other women.” Source – Daily News & Analysis.

Pakistan: Study: 74% of women from minority communities suffer sexual harassment – “Around 74 percent of Pakistani women from minority communities — Christians and Hindus — were sexually harassed, while 43 percent faced religious discrimination at workplaces in 2010 and 2011, a study said. Around 27 percent of minority women faced discrimination in admission to educational institutions and were forced to take Islamic studies for absence of any alternative subject, said National Commission for Justice and Peace (NCJP) executive director Peter Jacob.” Read more.
