Islam and the West: dancing with Kafka links 3 for Aug. 20 – 2014

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’.

3. Mother of Oxford grooming sex gang pair blames their VICTIMS: She says schoolgirls ‘should have been playing with toys’

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’.

The mother of two brothers who were part of the Oxford sex grooming gang has said 'no one pressurised' one of the victims

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.

5. Religious muslim in Canada acquitted of terrorism charges, even though the judge admits terrorist sympathies and a meeting or two.

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.

      • 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.

  1. Update Per DebbieSchlussel:

    “This wasn’t the first time he [Foley]was kidnapped by his Muslim buddies, whose extremism he championed. And not the first time they killed a fellow pro-jihad journalist in his midst. In 2011, Foley was kidnapped and nearly executed by other Islamic terrorists he championed against Qaddafi in Libya. He was kept in captivity by them for 44 days, and at least one other journalist–a photographer–was executed by them. Yet, he continued to champion their cause anyway. Because, again, he “knew better” than logic would dictate. You’d think that after being imprisoned and nearly killed by Muslim “freedom fighters,” he’d face the music and go home. But, no, he found a new group of even more brutal “liberal democrats” who finally finished him off.
    Foley, like most of the other “journalists” who went to Syria, was there to champion the cause of the Syrian rebels. He wanted American taxpayers and NATO to finance, arm, and train them against Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad, the same thing Foley championed in Libya (and how did that turn out?). He, like Obama, McCain, Romney, and Paul Ryan, wanted us to side with these guys, insisting that the Free Syrian Army–a very tiny part of the Syrian rebel amalgam–was “moderate” and that by giving them arms, money, and training, we would impose HAMAS/Hezbo-style “democracy” on Syria, instead of keeping these people with the brutal dictator that most Muslims really need in spite of–and because of–themselves.

  2. 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.”
