1. An appeal to help persecuted Christians “by hostile religious groups”

2. Schools in ‘Trojan Horse’ Extremism Probe Named

The council issued the list in a statement today, following what it called “misinformation” in press coverage over the weekend.

On Sunday, the Telegraph published a leaked report by school inspectors Ofsted on three schools in the city: Park View, Golden Hillock and Nansen Primary.

Inspectors found instances of gender segregation at two of the schools, non-Muslim students having to “teach themselves” a GCSE (school leaving exam) subject, an extremist speaker addressing students at Park View, and a biology teacher briefly teaching the theory of evolution to comply with the government syllabus before saying “this is not what we believe”.

3. Benghazi attack could have been prevented if US hadn’t ‘switched sides in the War on Terror’ and allowed $500 MILLION of weapons to reach al-Qaeda militants, reveals damning report

(For the record, this is pretty much exactly what Gates of Vienna figured had happened at the time of the Benghazi attack)

The Citizens Commission on Benghazi, a self-selected group of former top military officers, CIA insiders and think-tankers, declared Tuesday in Washington that a seven-month review of the deadly 2012 terrorist attack has determined that it could have been prevented – if the U.S. hadn’t been helping to arm al-Qaeda militias throughout Libya a year earlier.

‘The United States switched sides in the war on terror with what we did in Libya, knowingly facilitating the provision of weapons to known al-Qaeda militias and figures,’ Clare Lopez, a member of the commission and a former CIA officer, told MailOnline.

She blamed the Obama administration for failing to stop half of a $1 billion United Arab Emirates arms shipment from reaching al-Qaeda-linked militants.

4. Tony Blair: Britain will pay a ‘heavy price’ for not intervening in Syria, says Blair in warning the world must not be afraid to ‘take sides’

The former Prime Minister again defended his decision to invade Iraq and warned of the ‘consequences of non-intervention’.

But he admitted that his military interventions in Iraq and Afghanistan had made the West less inclined to tackle radical Islam.

He urged a deal with Bashar Assad in Syria and suggested the West must work with Russian President Vladmir Putin to tackle ‘radicalised and politicised view of Islam’ despite increased tensions over Ukraine.

  1. Tony Blair said: ‘At the root of the crisis lies a radicalised and politicised view of Islam, an ideology that distorts and warps Islam’s true message.”

    The one that Homosexual Feminists believe, which is Allah loves everyone?

    Is there one Islamic country built on this model?

    Communists talk of liberty and freedoms, but they don’t actually mean what they say. It isn’t what they print, but what they actually do 98% of the time.

    As Germans did not want to believe Hitler knew about the extermination of the Jews, I guess Allah is not aware either.

    The narcissistic self-delusion goes on.

  2. 3/ Claire Lopez always has my vote. She’ll do whatever to yank Clinton from 2016.

    As we look increasingly silly in Ukraine, maybe Uncle Vlad will get US to impeachment. His media is competitive with our MSM.

    Along with China’s pocket money to the odd Filipino here & there.

    Heh! Mystery hostiles. I hope this cowards church is burned down and his flock buggered by a mysterious hostile religious group he is too cowardly to name. They won’t mention it at the meeting either.

  4. Tony Blair: He urged a deal with Bashar Assad in Syria and suggested the West must work with Russian President Vladmir Putin to tackle ‘radicalised and politicised view of Islam’ despite increased tensions over Ukraine.

    Eh? If this idiot gets his wish, then Syria will become even worse then what it is now. Assad and his government should be supported, as they are the only ones that can protect minorities- as they did in the past.

  5. #3 The more this can be laid at the feet of Hillary the better off the world is.

    #4 The world does need to take a stand on which side they support, political correctness is preventing this and will until the non politically correct have had enough and revolt.

    #5 How come Obama let this happen?

  6. BL@KBIRD, ditto your sentiments.

    Richard,
    They always crave new martyrs. This opens the way up to high-level uglies straining at the leash
