Ladies and gentlemen, this is the reformation that everyone claims Islam is in need of. The problem is that it is reforming back to its real self. What islam needs is not a reformation but a liberalization which cannot happen by design of Islam itself, but can be imposed by force as we saw with the Colonial era.
1. More on the sickeningly deadly attack on a mosque likely run by a liberalizer of Islam by Boko Haram.
Nigeria Boko Haram Terror: ‘200 Killed’ in Kano Mosque Bomb and Shooting Massacre
Boko Haram terrorists sprayed fleeing Muslim worshippers with bullets as they fled the main mosque in Kano, following a multiple suicide bombing attack at Friday prayers, slaughtering up to 200 people.
Mansur Liman, head of the BBC’s Hausa service, told BBC News: “Although not official at the moment it is believed around 200 people have been killed in this attack. Somebody who went to the nearby hospital told us he has never witnessed anything as horrible as this.”
2. Bristol woman in constant pain took own life after being ruled fit to work in benefits test
(This might be a story to think of when you hear about muslims in the UK and their “jihad seekers allowance” as well as this story today out of the UK)
A FORMER nurse whose incapacity benefit was stopped after a controversial fitness test took her own life with a fatal cocktail of drugs, an inquest heard.
Jacqueline Harris, 53, was partially sighted, needed a stick to walk and was in constant pain in both hands.
3. Religious debate explodes after school concert canned
“I received a phone call last Tuesday and heard the concert was cancelled for all churches involved,” she said.
“Because of one person, no one has the option now to attend.”
Ms Hughes said the Christmas concert was a “fun event” and like religious instruction in schools, the choice of attendance should be left to parents.
“Parents have a choice for their children to be involved in religious instruction (in state schools) and the same thing should apply here,” she said. […] The Gympie Times attempted to contact the parent responsible for the complaint without reply at the time of print yesterday.
4. Islamic State spreading into northern Africa, alarming U.S.
(Video is a waste of photons)
In its war to create a caliphate across Syria and Iraq, the Islamic State is opening a front in North Africa, where affiliated militants are wreaking havoc in eastern Libya and Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula — presenting a complex challenge for Washington and its allies in the region.
5. Australia: Muslims refuse to stand for judge, say Islam is their only authority
One said that they are not “at the behest of any authority other than Islam.” We have seen this again and again, all over the West, as it is a mainstream Islamic belief that Muslims do not owe allegiance to any Infidel authorities. Those Infidel authorities, however, persist in refusing to understand what they are seeing.
6. Remember last night’s posting of 2 videos of muslims sidewalk licking and god-bothering outside the Cordoba Cathedral? Well it turns out the father of that family was a very good muslim indeed.
A MUSLIM Imam who lectures on non-violence and advises the German government on interfaith issues has been arrested in Germany for beating up his wife.
She was allegedly assaulted so badly that she suffered a broken nose and shoulder and numerous cuts and bruises.
Sheikh Abu Adam, 40, who bears a resemblance to Osama bin Laden, is now on remand in Munich while his wife, 31, is being guarded by police.
Media reports say the woman, who has borne one of his ten children, wanted to live a more “western” lifestyle, earning her the physical response from her husband.
7. Pakistan: Accusations of blasphemy soar:
just one in 2011; over 100 in 2014. More than half of the 62 people murdered in the wake of blasphemy allegations since 1990 were killed in the past five years, according to figures collated by a Pakistani human-rights group that fears even to be identified. “Blasphemy” can now include spelling errors by children or throwing away a visiting-card bearing the name “Muhammad”.
(This article at The Economist is well worth reading, if for no other reason than that a publication like The Economist has actually started dealing with the most important issue of the age)
8. Taliban attack former NATO base in south Afghanistan
Thank you M., Wrath of Khan, Voice of the Copts, Richard, and many more. There is some heavy stuff coming. A PVV member, Geert Wilders party in the Netherlands, gave a 45 min. speech about getting rid of all mosques in Holland. This is being translated now.
More to come shortly on that and Italy and more soon.

Nigeria: dozens killed and hundreds hurt in Kano mosque attack
Michael Coren on Tarek Fatah’s smackdown of jackass Senator Grant Mitchell
DAILY MAIL – Koran should be read at Prince Charles’ coronation says top bishop: Critics attack proposal and accuse Church of England of ‘losing confidence’ in its own traditions
– Lord Harries said gesture would be a ‘creative act of accommodation’
– Speaking in House of Lords claimed it would help Muslims feel ‘embraced’
– Critics attacked idea insisting ‘British values stem from Christian heritage’
The former Bishop of Oxford, who continues to serve as an assistant bishop in the diocese of Southwark, made the suggestion about the Koran during a House of Lords debate. He told peers the Church of England should take the lead in ‘exercising its historic position in a hospitable way’.
He said that at a civic service in Bristol Cathedral last year authorities had agreed to a reading of the opening passage of the Koran before the beginning of the Christian ritual. He said: ‘It was a brilliant creative act of accommodation that made the Muslim high sheriff feel, as she said, warmly embraced but did not alienate the core congregation.
‘That principle of hospitality can and should be reflected in many public ceremonies, including the next coronation service.’
[…]
Douglas Murray, associate editor of the Spectator, said if Muslims were included in the coronation service, there must be room to for Hindus, Sikhs, and atheists.
He added: ‘If there were to be a reading from the Koran at the coronation, surely as a matter of reciprocity, all mosques in the UK should have prayers for the King and the Armed Forces every week at Friday prayers.’
