Gay activists betray themselves by using Swastika’s to refer to Israel.

Posted on by

By way of forward to this excellent article in Canada’s National Post, one of the few newspapers left that actually reports and comments on real news, I can’t help but mention that I would sincerely like to see these gay-rights activists have a pride march in Saudi-Arabia, Somalia, Gaza and the West Bank, or Iran. I would like to see that so much, I would be willing to take up a collection to fly these particular activists to one of those nations to march for gay rights. It should also be mentioned, that the Nazis also murdered homosexuals in as large numbers as they could, unless they happened to be Joseph Goebbels.

I would like to point out to these cowardly hypocrites, people who are so high on Maslow’s hierarchy of needs that they actually have a nose bleed, what a true gay rights activist looks like. From April 8th TROP web site:

Gay rights activists wave a rainbow flag in front of a
mosque in Turkey, where at least 45 homosexuals and
transgenders have been murdered in the last three years.
(There are no reports of devout Muslims killed by gays).

Actual gay-rights activists are people who march in areas for their basic human right to exist without being murdered for being homosexual, because of 7th century religious laws, invented by a man who raped children and widows. (Calling it marriage does not make it not rape. Lack of consent, makes it rape no matter what you call it)

Parade of horribles

Let Pride participants protest Israel– but on their own dime

Queers Against Israeli Apartheid during a Gay Pride Parade. Queers Against Israeli Apartheid Via Facebook Queers Against Israeli Apartheid during a Gay Pride Parade.

Toronto’s gay Pride Parade is in danger of losing the nearly $200,000 it receives annually from the city because it cannot bring itself to impose any standards whatever on the groups that enter floats and demonstrations. Specifically, it cannot even bring itself to ban hateful symbols that offend community standards and may even violate the Criminal Code.

That the parade and the week-long events that surround it have become mainstream can be seen in the crowds it attracts — nearly half a million annually, including tens of thousands of families — and in the fact that it has been named the country’s top festival three times by the Canadian event industry, most recently in 2009.

What was once a ramshackle collection of flamboyant gays and lesbians marching almost unnoticed through downtown Toronto has become one of North America’s largest (and slickest) street parties — so large and slick, in fact, that corporate sponsors now line up to partner with the organizing committee. The chaps and jockstraps, feather boas and transvestite costumes have been almost overwhelmed by unremarkable, middle-class gays, lesbians and transgendered persons, plus straight supporters of all three.

However, last year, the group Queers Against Israeli Apartheid (QuAIA), chose to sport tshirts with swastikas while they ambled down the street chanting “Fist by Fist, Blow by Blow, Apartheid State, Has Got to Go.”

Leaders of QuAIA insist their members’ shirts featured the Nazi symbol superimposed by a circle with a line through it — a sometimes anti-Nazi symbol. The video evidence is inconclusive; if there were circles with lines, they were fainter than the swastikas they were meant to cover, which leaves reasonable people to conclude the hateful sign of genocide was what the crowd was truly intended to see.

Yemeni child bride dies of bleeding after intercourse

A 13-year-old Yemeni girl who was forced into marriage died five days after her wedding when she suffered a rupture in her sex organs and hemorrhaging, a local rights organization said today. Ilham Mahdi al Assi died last Friday in a hospital in Yemen’s Hajja province, the Shaqaeq Arab Forum for Human Rights said in a statement quoting a medical report.

She was wedded the previous Monday in a traditional arrangement known as a “swap marriage,” in which the brother of the bride also married the sister of the groom, it said.

“The child Ilham has died as a martyr due to the abuse of children’s lives in Yemen,” the non-governmental organization said.

Her death was a “flagrant example” of the results of opposing the ban on child marriage in Yemen, which was leading to “killing child females,” it said.

The marriage of young girls is widespread in Yemen, which has a strong tribal structure.

The death of a 12-year-old girl in childbirth in September illustrated the case of the country’s “brides of death,” many of whom were married off even before puberty.

Controversy heightened in Yemen recently over a law banning child marriage in the impoverished country through setting a minimum age of 17 for women and 18 for men.

Thousands of conservative women demonstrated outside parliament last month, answering a call by Islamist parties opposing the law.

A lesser number of women rallied at the same venue a few days later in support of the law, the implementation of which was blocked pending a request by a group of politicians for a review.

Muslim groups are demanding an apology from the British Army after it emerged that models of mosques are being erected on military firing ranges.

The chairman of the Bradford Council for Mosques (BMC) has called for the cut-outs to be removed immediately.

Seven replica mosques were erected on a range at Bellerby, Catterick Garrison, North Yorkshire to prepare soldiers for combat in Afghanistan.

Saudi’s prevent Canadian woman from leaving country without father’s permission

Government wants to help woman leave Saudi Arabia

Last Updated: Thursday, March 18, 2010 | 5:04 PM ET

Conservative and Liberal MP’s told CBC Radio’s Ottawa Morning Thursday that the federal government must continue putting pressure on the Saudi Arabian government to allow an Ottawa woman there to return to Canada.

Nazia Quazi, who graduated from the University of Ottawa and holds dual Indian-Canadian citizenship, alleges she has been unable to leave Saudi Arabia for two years because her father refuses to grant her permission.

Saudi law prohibits an unmarried woman from leaving the country unless she obtains her male guardian’s consent.

“We have to keep talking to both the Saudi government and to the father involved about why this just can’t continue in this way,” said Bob Rae, the Liberal foreign affairs critic Thursday.

Quazi, now 24, entered Saudi Arabia in 2007 on a visitor’s visa to see her family. She claims her father, an Indian national working in Saudi Arabia, sponsored her for a permanent visa without her knowledge, and took away her Canadian and Indian passports. She alleges that he has refused to let her leave because her family didn’t approve of her boyfriend. Continue Reading →

Incident with Qatar diplomat likely not shoe bomb: U.S. official

Posted on by

So readers, what do you think will happen? I think this guy won’t even need to claim diplomatic immunity. All he will needs to say is he was merely responding to “Islamaphobic” attitude from the flight crew and that will be it.

National Post… A United Airlines domestic flight landed safely in Denver Wednesday after a disturbance on board by a passenger, but officials said the incident did not appear to be a serious security threat.

“It looks like the individual in question was perhaps smoking in the lavatory and might have made an unfortunate remark” once confronted by airline personnel, a U.S. official said.

United Flight 663, which originated from Washington’s Reagan National Airport, arrived at about 9 p.m. EDT after two F-16 fighter jets were scrambled to intercept the Boeing 757 aircraft, according to the North American Aerospace Defense Command which is responsible for safeguarding U.S. airspace.

ABC News, citing federal law enforcement officials, had reported earlier that U.S. air marshals subdued a Qatari man who authorities say tried to “light his shoes on fire” on the flight.

CNN said the man identified as a mid-level Qatari diplomat, when asked why he was in the toilet so long, “said something about lighting his shoe on fire.”

The plane was surrounded by security vehicles at Denver International Airport.

“Law enforcement and TSA have responded to the scene and the passenger is currently in custody,” the Transportation Security Administration said in a statement. “All steps are being taken to ensure the safety of the traveling public.”

There were 157 passengers aboard the plane and six crew members, according to United.

The latest aviation scare came amid heightened worries about attempts to attack the United States.

U.S. authorities have been on heightened alert after a Nigerian man, who had ties to an al Qaeda-affiliated group, tried to explode a bomb hidden in his underwear on a flight from Amsterdam to Detroit on Christmas Day last year.

In December 2001, Richard Reid, a self-admitted member of al Qaeda, was subdued on an trans-Atlantic flight diverted to Boston after attempting to detonate explosives hidden in his shoes.

Reid pleaded guilty to eight counts related to terrorism and was sentenced to life in prison with no possibility of parole.

Kyrgyzstan keeps a tight grip on religion

Posted on by

 BBC… Bolot, a young evangelical preacher in Kyrgyzstan, says he has already been arrested twice since setting up a new church.

He says he is the victim of a new law on religion, which critics say severely restricts religious freedoms and is forcing some groups underground.

Under the law, new religious groups have to have at least 200 members before they can register with the authorities and operate legally – previously the figure was 10.

Kyrgyzstan is just the latest Central Asian republic to have been accused of curtailing religious rights.

“In our church we don’t have official registration because we have only 25 people, and we are banned from trying to convert people. We have lots of problems with the government,” Bolot says.

He says the police have been several times to his church, which is based in a house in the capital, Bishkek. Bolot, which is not his real name, says he fears further such visits.

“They asked me to stop the church because it’s against the law. Of course, it’s not comfortable but we will keep going.”

There are now at least 50,000 evangelical Christians in Kyrgyzstan, Bolot says, the majority of them converts from Islam like himself – although the government disputes that figure.

He says the authorities passed the law because they want to prevent Muslims converting to Christianity.

He adds that the government also feels threatened by radical Muslim groups such as Hizb ut-Tahrir, whose goal is to bring all Muslim countries together as a single state, ruled by Islamic law. Continue Reading →

The man was subdued on United flight 663 from Washington Reagan airport to Denver, ABC news reported.

While the presence of explosives has not been confirmed, reports are referring to the incident as a “shoe bomb attempt”.

Barack Obama orders killing of US cleric Anwar al-Awlaki

Barack Obama’s administration has authorised the assassination of the radical Muslim cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, a rare move against an American citizen.

The Yemen-based al-Awlaki has been linked to the Fort Hood massacre and the attempt in December to blow up a Detroit-bound jet by a man wearing explosives in his underpants.

The decision to add him to the US hit list required a National Security Council review because of his citizenship.

Officials said US intelligence had argued that the cleric now posed a direct threat to America, an al-Qaeda recruiter who had graduated from encouraging attacks to active involvement in them.

Al-Awlaki, 38, became famous last year after it emerged he had communicated extensively by email with Major Nidal Hasan, the army psychiatrist accused of killing 13 soldiers at Fort Hood, Texas. Continue Reading →

National Post: It’s not easy being white

It’s not easy being white

Barbara Kay, National Post Published: Wednesday, April 07, 2010

Remember the old Kermit the Frog complaint, “It’s not that easy bein’ green”? It’s from a ditty about diversity, in which Kermit proceeds from self-doubt over the limitations of being green to the conclusion there’s value in all colours and nothing gained brooding over identity: “I am green and it’ll do fine…I think it’s what I want to be.”

But what if bullies had convinced everyone on Sesame Street that being green made you wicked? It would avail Kermit naught that green can be “big like an ocean, or important like a mountain” when set against greenness as the root cause of all other-coloured muppets’ grievances.

In the human world, it’s being white that’s not that easy. In Saturday’s Post Jonathan Kay recounted learning in an anti-racism workshop that whiteness is a kind of original sin, and Canada is “a white supremacist country.”

Before 9/11, white self-hatred mostly focused on whites’ well-documented historical racism against blacks. Since 9/11 it’s more about whites’ alleged but unsubstantiated anti-Muslim bias. Between demands for entitlements by self-appointed Muslim spokespeople, and uncritical Islamophilia amongst liberal elites, we’ve internalized the dictum that whites are anti-Muslim unless proven otherwise, and Muslims are victims even when proven otherwise.

“White privilege” is the villain in the recently published Ontario section of the Canadian Federation of Students’ Task Force on Racism report, denounced by Robert Fulford in Saturday’s Post for its self-serving agenda. Committed to finding anti-Muslim bigotry on Ontario’s campuses, they eschewed the pesky grind of actual “methodology.” Self-selecting Muslim students were encouraged to recite personal narratives of supposed racism, unsupported by any proof.

Hate crimes unit probes anti-Semitic graffiti on campus

This isn’t how it starts. We are past how it starts. This is how it progresses.

From The Ottawa Citizen written by Matthew Pearson

The Ottawa police hate crimes unit is investigating after anti-Semitic graffiti was found in a campus washroom at Carleton University.

The university’s campus safety department called police early last month after the graffiti was discovered. Three messages — “Kill a Jew slow + painfully,” “Nuke Israel” and “White Power” — and a swastika were inscribed in orange marker in a men’s bathroom stall in the Residence Commons building.

University officials treated the vandalism as a hate crime and turned the matter over to Ottawa police.

Police have no suspects in the incident and says this type of crime is difficult to solve unless there is a witness.

Surveillance cameras aren’t allowed in public washrooms because of privacy restrictions, so that could explain why a lot of hate-related graffiti is committed in washrooms, Det. John Byers says.

The graffiti was discovered during this year’s instalment of Israeli Apartheid Week, but Byers noted the use of “White Power” suggested to him the perpetrators’ view could fall into the realm of neo-Nazi rather than those typically associated with the pro-Palestinian movement.

He added that calls of this nature weren’t uncommon at university campuses.

Iran’s national Olympic committee had called on Fifa, football’s world governing body, and the International Olympic Committee to review the ban on the hijab.

The hijab is worn women beyond the age of puberty to observe Islamic rules on modesty and interaction of the sexes.

“We have asked the heads of these international sports organisations to review and annul Fifa’s decision,” Bahram Afsharzadeh, the Iranian Olympic committee secretary general said. “Hijab is related to the Islamic culture and Muslim women can’t take part in social activities without it.”

The inaugural Youth Olympic games will be held from August 14 to 26 in Singapore and Thailand was nominated on Monday to replace the barred Iranians.

Michael Coren interviews Nick Bergamini, the Carleton student attacked for being a supporter of Israel

Michael Coren on the Ottawa machete attack

It was only a matter of time. Some of us have reported for months now that Jewish students have been intimidated and threatened on campuses across Canada by Islamic thugs. Now Nick Bergamini has been attacked with a lethal weapon and, it seems, could easily have been killed. He happens not to be Jewish but a conservative, a Zionist and friendly with Jewish and Israeli students. First they came for the Jews, then they came for their friends, then we have more Israeli Apartheid Week sessions.

Ottawa Citizen on the Ottawa Machette attack

HT gates of Vienna

A well-known student supporter of Israel at Carleton University and an Israeli engineering student at the university say they are counting themselves lucky to have survived an attack with what they say was a machete near a Gatineau bar early Monday.

Nick Bergamini, 22, vice-president of the Carleton University Students’ Association, said he and roommate Mark Klibanov were leaving Le Volt bar on Promenade du Portage at 1:45 a.m. when a group of about 10 men began yelling in English and Arabic that they were Zionists and Jews.

“These people must have been Carleton students because I recognized one of them,” Bergamini said. “I said I love Israel because I support Israel’s right to exist.

“I told them not to do this because I knew who they were, but I got hit hard on the back of the head. We ran to the bar entrance because bar security was there.”

The two men later decided to walk across the Chaudière Bridge to Ottawa when the crowd surrounding them dispersed about five minutes later. As they walked through a parking lot near the bridge, however, a car with three men inside pulled up beside them.

“One of them rolled down the window and said: ‘I am the one who hit you, you f—–g Jew,’ although I am not a Jew,” Bergamini said. “Two guys came out of the car, and one of them tried to kick my roommate.

“One attacker said, ‘Open the trunk,’ and another guy pulled out a machete that glinted in the street lights. I yelled that they had weapons, and we started running as fast as we could. I saw the guy wind up with the machete as I looked back.”

Bergamini and Klibanov reported the attack to Gatineau police on Monday and said they planned to tell university officials about it. Gatineau police Lt. Gilbert Couture confirmed that police were investigating the attack, but provided no further details.

Klibanov, 20, said the machete missed the back of his friend’s head by about a foot as they sprinted across the bridge to Ottawa. He said they were not injured because they outran their assailants.

“I have never spoken to that guy in my life, but it is known at Carleton that I have been to Israel and that I have a Facebook site supporting Israel,” Bergamini said. “My roommate is on the board of the Israel Awareness Committee that does advocacy on behalf of Israel.

“I am happy that I am still alive. We both could have been killed (Sunday) night because he swung a machete at my neck.”

Klibanov said he recognized one man in the group, but couldn’t remember how many people were chasing him. He said somebody should be charged with the assault to prevent similar incidents in the future.

“The first thing they said before punching my friend is that we were Zionists,” Klibanov said. “This situation surprised me, but the intentions of these people did not.

“If you are from the right wing or are a supporter of Israel, it gets around pretty quickly because Carleton is one of the worst campuses for having a division between Palestinian and Jewish students. It is a really polarized campus between left and right, Jewish and Arab students.”

Jason MacDonald, a spokesman for the University, said Carleton provided opportunities for students to discuss emotional issues.

“The Israel and Palestine issue is one of the things that can cause people to become emotional,” MacDonald said. “Our job is to make sure that these debates can happen without anyone’s personal safety being threatened.

“We have met with student groups on both sides of such issues and told them that we are not here to tell them what to think, but certain kinds of behaviour are not acceptable.”

Len Rudner, director of the Ontario chapter of the Canadian Jewish Congress, said being a Jew or Zionist in Canada should not prompt such an attack.

“Maybe we should consider the impact that words can have in accelerating the argument to the point where people feel that this kind of behaviour is acceptable,” Rudner said.

“If you permit a constant invective and demonization of the Jewish state and people who support the Jewish state, some people will feel that this gives them the permission or responsibility to carry out this kind of attack.”
