I recommend sitting back and watching this with the greatest clarity of mind one can summon at this time on a Saturday night. Also, it is worth looking up the treaty of Hudabaya. Allen West gives a good description of its meaning

March in Norrebro Denmark with chants as above. Please see Jihad Watch for story.
I have to deal with other matters for a few hours.
Please feel free to post videos and reasonably respectable news articles to the comments of this post for all things Ukrainian and Russian and please everyone check the comments. We have some really excellent news-hunters here who regularly post updated materials from multiple sources on an event which may be too serious to just wait till I can triage the materials I have.
Later I will certainly create posts with what materials I can, and have time to determine their veracity. But meanwhile consider this post’s content to actually be in the comments.
Thank you all, readers and contributors.
Eeyore for Vlad.

Fire bomb hits a cop in The Temple mount, Israel; Dozens of Palestinians barricaded themselves in the Temple Mount and attacked the cops with everything they could get their hands on..
2. Iran general: ‘Our hands are on the trigger’ to destroy Israel
Iranian leaders regularly issue threats against Israel and the United States, but the wording ascribed to Salami on Tuesday was particularly aggressive.
“Islam has given us this wish, capacity and power to destroy the Zionist regime so that our hands will remain on the trigger from 1,400 kilometers away for the day when such an incident (confrontation with Israel) takes place,” he was also quoted saying in the speech.
A man calling himself ‘Abdul’ made a call to London On. talk show host, Andrew Lawton, on Sept. 23 2013 where he claimed that Canada was “going to see things soon”.
Beyond that though is Abdul’s logic that everyone has the right to kill invaders, when Abdul certainly sounds a lot like one to me.
However Khadr, the subject of the show, was a Canadian and not an Afghani, and therefore also an invader by Abdul’s logic. It should also be mentioned that the Taliban themselves are Arab invaders who took over the tribes of Afghanistan and forced all that Islam on them. Remember that in the 60s, Afghanistan was a hippie haven.
Thank you C.B. Sashenka for the tip and help on this video.
Now this is a headline you don’t see everyday.

An Iranian strategic expert has warned that one of President Obama’s daughters will be kidnapped and raped if America attacks Syria.
Alireza Forghani, also the former governor of southern Iran’s Kish Province, warned of mass abductions and killings of American citizens worldwide in the event the Obama administration launches a military strike in Syria.
1. French clip on Assad’s reaction to new decision?
2. Sky News: Obama makes new military action vow
The US has a plan to help Syria’s rebels bring down the Assad regime after launching military strikes, President Obama has said.
Mr Obama said again that military action against Syria would be “limited” but suggested a strike would go further than simply punishing President Bashar al Assad’s alleged use of chemical weapons.
The president said he was confident that Congress would vote in favour of military action and called for a prompt vote on the issue.

Thank you Richard and M and all who sent these in. For the record, I am posting for general interest. I don’t yet have a formed opinion about all of this except that the chances of a very wide and serious conflict having its genesis in Syria seems more likely than the wars of the past 12 years so far.
1. Syria crisis: warplanes spotted in Cyprus as tensions rise in Damascus
2. After Syria chemical allegations, Obama considering limited military strike
3. Video that sure looks like Al-Qeada/Muslim brotherhood types loading what sure looks like plastic canisters into mortars. I have no idea who they really are, but I doubt you can grow a beard like that overnight.
4. Syria crisis: Russia and China step up warning over strike

A screen capture from a video purporting to show the Syrian Army firing a Scud missile (image capture: YouTube)
A senior Syrian official on Monday issued a first direct warning that if attacked, his country would retaliate against Israel. Khalaf Muftah, a senior Baath Party official who used to serve as Syria’s assistant information minister, said in a radio interview that Damascus would consider Israel “behind the [Western] aggression and [it] will therefore come under fire.”
Dial it up to 1080 for max effect. (the little gear at the bottom right of the YT video. Click and it offers options) One question though. Did Pink Floyd use the symbol you see at 2:07 for The Wall or did North Korea adapt it from Pink Floyd?
It seemed somehow familiar

Myanmar has beefed up security measures and tightened control over travelling visa after reports of possible terrorist attacks in the country, according to Min Aung, Police Lt. Col. of the Myanmar Police Force.
“We’ve been reported the terrorists are trying to enter the country and attempt bombing. So, we have ordered [regional police forces] to step up security measures. We must be always alert as they may wait for the chance to attack. Security has been tightened at the border checkpoints, too,” he said.
Indonesian terrorist Abu Bakar Bashir has recently called for a ‘jihad’ in Myanmar, rousing the mujahideens or the Islamic militants. This alerted the regional police to carry out necessary inspections in predominantly Muslim areas, Police Col. Hla Moe from Railway Police Department of Myanmar Police Force said.
“As the terrorists say they will wage jihad in Myanmar, we have to raise our security measures. We conduct inspections at the gates of and inside the city, said Mandalay Region Police Force’s Police Lt. Col. Tun Naing.
