1. UK police warn that watching the beheading video of a US journalist is a terrorist offense.
(ML. who gave me this link pointed out that it is curious that watching a video made by people who the government and the media insist on calling “militants” makes you a terrorist. Get it? They, who cut off a man’s head for Islamic reasons to support the aspirations of the new Islamic state, have nothing to do with islam and are “militants”. But if you watch that video, you are a terrorist. Kafka meets Orwell at 90 miles an hour.)
2. Mark Steyn: American decapitated by an Englishman. Audio and article. Please not that the audio news segment also refers to his murderers as ‘militants’.
She defended her sons – Akhtar, 32, and Anjum Dogar, 31 – and claimed they were innocent after they were found guilty of a catalogue of vile offences last week.
Mrs Dogar, believed to be called Bashira, accused the police, social services and the girls themselves of being complicit in creating Britain’s ‘grooming culture’.
4. Breitbart: WATCH: Galloway Interviewed By Police Despite Belligerent Speech Claiming Opposite
Breitbart London understand that the belligerent Galloway – who as well as being a Member of the British Parliament works for the Iranian state-funded Press TV – has dismissed being questioned for inciting racial hatred as “a monumental – and monumentally expensive – waste of police time”, reports the Guardian.
But West Yorkshire Police’s District Commander has stated that once enquiries are completed the matter will be referred to the Criminal Prosecution Service, meaning that Galloway could face charges in line with a public petition that has now been signed by nearly 19,000 people.
His brush with a homegrown terror cell was confined to a single, albeit lengthy, conversation he had with two alleged co-conspirators in July 2010.
[…]
Judge Charles Hackland said Sher likely had “jihadist sympathies,” but he doubted Sher had actually agreed to join a pre-existing terror conspiracy.
6. Sermon in New York: (Quite worth listening to)
7. Ebola crisis: Liberian troops impose slum quarantine
(Wouldn’t that be a quarantine around the entire nation with the possible exception of the Presidential Palace?)
The president has also ordered a countrywide night-time curfew as part of new anti-Ebola measures.
Since the beginning of the year, 1350 people have died of the virus in four West African countries. New UN figures show that between 17 and 18 August, there were 221 new cases and 106 deaths.
8. An article at CNBC on why Turkey was funding Islamic state fighters in Iraq mysteriously got pulled for no apparent reason. However it can be viewed here.
Thank you ML., M., GoV, Buck, Wrath of Khan, and more.

Important Story: In UK Farage calls to strip citizenship from UK ISIS fighters. Cameron will have to implement or look weak.
Cameron is weak. But this is a great idea, maybe a way out.
If the prosecutors have enough guts and look at the old laws still on the books there are probably a lot of them that can be used against the Moslems.
Buford Pusser the Sheriff made famous in the Walking Tall movies used old laws still on the books to drive a bunch of crooks out of his county. Of course he did get murdered.
But wasn’t he grand!
He was that, and the Brian Denehey (sp?) movie that spawned the walking tall movies was real good. I got lucky it is on youtube.
I’ll give it a go.
When I saw the original movie, it seemed wicked violent. But my violence-tolerance threshold has changed considerably since then.
Update Per DebbieSchlussel:
Then his head wasn’t properly screwed on to begin with. No great loss.
I knew that James Foley was misguided, but still he did not deserve what happened to him.
Islamic State video shows conversion of Yazidis to Islam
BAGHDAD (Reuters) – Islamic State, a militant group that witnesses and officials say has executed hundreds of members of Iraq’s Yazidis, has released a video that seeks to show it enlightened hundreds of members of the religious minority by converting them to Islam.
The production was issued not long after the group on Tuesday released a video showing one of its black-clad fighters beheading American journalist James Foley, sparking international outrage
[…] The video then shows dozens of Yazidis getting off a bus, walking past a truck mounted with an anti-aircraft weapon and hugging Islamic State militants.
Second later, hundreds of people are sitting on the floor of what appears to be a school beneath black Islamic State flags, hoisted in every town the group has captured since it arrived from Syria in June and swept through the north almost unopposed by Iraq’s army.
Mostly young men, they prepare for the conversion ritual.
“Right now you are infidels. After this you will become Muslims and you will have rights,” an Islamic State fighter tells them. “Repeat after me.”
