2. Ebola outbreak: Kenya at high risk, warns WHO
The World Health Organization (WHO) has classified Kenya as a “high-risk” country for the spread of the deadly Ebola virus.
Kenya was vulnerable because it was a major transport hub, with many flights from West Africa, a WHO official said.
This is the most serious warning to date by the WHO that Ebola could spread to East Africa.

This graph is good though:

4. Kurdish Forces Say They Urgently Need More Weapons
The Kurdish commander stared down a road shimmering in the heat, then gestured to where the Islamic militants were deployed, plotting their next advance on this dusty Iraqi frontier town.
There was very little his Kurdish fighters could do about it.
“They have better weapons,” Lt. Col. Saadi Soruchi said of the insurgents. “American weapons.”
5. UN Says Iraq Humanitarian Crisis at Highest Level
The United Nations on Wednesday announced its highest level of emergency for the humanitarian crisis in Iraq, where hundreds of thousands have been driven from their homes and tens of thousands had been trapped on a desert mountain by the advance of Islamic militants across the north of the country.
But after a U.S. Army Special Forces team was flown atop Sinjar Mountain to assess the situation Wednesday, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel told reporters that far fewer refugees were stranded and it was far less likely the U.S. would undertake a rescue mission. Hagel said airdrops of food and water had sustained the refugees and that airstrikes on Islamic State group militants had allowed many to escape.
6. Tommy Robinson on RTV:
More to come.
Thank you M., Wrath of Khan,
1/ If CNN keeps flirting with reality this way it might get hurt.
I think they are trying to see how many heart attacks they can cause among the rational people of the world.
6/ 9:00: ‘It has to be a question of interpreting things the right way,’ because the Crusades etc. Sophie doesn’t seem to have found time for any serious reading since she embarrassed herself talking to Robert Spencer.
Great job by Mr. Robinson articulating his many good points and getting them in.

Roadside Bomb Kills 3 Afghan Policemen (abcnews, Aug 14, 2014)
http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/roadside-bomb-kills-afghan-policemen-24973990
“An Afghan official says a roadside bomb has stuck a police car in eastern Laghman province, killing three officers. Sarhadi Zwak, the provincial governor’s spokesman, says the attack took place on Thursday morning in Badpakh district. He says four policemen were also wounded in the explosion. No one has claimed responsibility for the bombing but roadside bombs targeting Afghan troops and security forces are a common insurgent tactic of the Taliban. Also, Afghan civilians increasingly find themselves under fire as the U.S.-led military coalition prepares to pull out of the country by the end of the year and Afghan forces take the lead in operations against the Taliban…”
The wish from the Liberals in The West is that it is just ‘radical Islam’ or ‘warped Islam’.
It isn’t. Their root is Mohammad. One of the most cunning and evil men alive at that time.
The study of him should be the art of manipulation, (as should socialism).
“They question you (O Mohammad) with regard to warfare in the sacred month. Say: Warfare therein is a great transgression but to turn men from the way of Allah and to disbelive in Him and the inviolable place of worship and to expel its people thence is a greater transgression, for persecution is worse than killing”
[al-Baqarah 2:217]
Kill the unbelievers at any time you want. Hence the murders during Ramadan.
A Moderate Muslim is only an ignorant Muslim.
