Muslim man demands right to bring second wife to Ireland
The native of Lebanon, where polygamy is allowed, says his polygamous marriage must be recognized.
Liam Egan, a member of the Muslim Public Affairs Congress, told the Irish Sunday Times the man was being discriminated against unfairly. “It is draconian to treat this family differently,” said Egan.
“Ireland discriminates against Muslims seeking citizenship by asking them to sign an affidavit. The state should not be interfering in families like this. It is silent on adulterous affairs but the moment you try and do something honourable by bringing a woman into a marriage, even a polygamous marriage, there is an issue.”
The man first entered Ireland some years ago and claimed political asylum which was granted. It is believed there are numerous other cases involving second or even more wives awaiting the court’s verdict. British law allows only one wife to legally emigrate.
Liam Egan says the Koran allows Muslims to marry and “love each of them equally.” The Immigrant Council of Ireland says the case highlights the need for the government to deal fairly with the issue.

Jeffrey Herf Interview: Nazi propaganda for the Arab world
From AlMaysryAlYoum
Jeffrey Herf, professor of modern European history at the University of Maryland, College Park, recently authored Nazi Propaganda for the Arab World, published by Yale University Press. In 2006 he published The Jewish Enemy: Nazi Propaganda during World War II and the Holocaust. Al-Masry Al-Youm spoke with Herf to discuss his latest publication.
Al-Masry Al-Youm: The West in general uses the term anti-Semitism, although both Arabs and Jews are Semitic. Are there other terms that are more apt?
Jeffrey Herf: The answer to this and other questions are in my book,
Nazi Propaganda for the Arab World. An entire chapter explores the extensive efforts made by the Nazi regime to avoid the use of the term “anti-Semitism.” It was, its officials stressed, a regime animated by antagonism toward the Jews but not towards Arabs and Muslims in general. The term anti-Semitism has long entered academic discourse to refer to hatred of Jews.
Al-Masry: Most Arab historians agree that the Nazis did not contribute great ideas that grew in the region, but you posit the opposite. What evidence supports your position? Continue Reading →
Christian teacher forced out, after observing students praised 9-11
Well, I think many of us know that England is if not an actual Muslim nation, is well on it’s way to being one. That sharia law is in effect in many many aspects of British life and civil service, even if it is by a sort of proxy, where sharia rules are given other names. But if it smells like a turd, and if it tastes like a turd, and if it causes disease like a turd…

A Christian teacher told today how he lost his job after complaining that Muslim pupils as young as eight hailed the September 11 hijackers as ‘heroes’.
>Nicholas Kafouris said he was forced from his £30,000-a-year post because he would not tolerate the ‘racist’ and ‘anti-Semitic’ behaviour of children.
He said the predominantly Muslim youngsters openly praised Islamic extremists in class, and hailed the terrorists of the 2001 atrocities as ‘martyrs’.
Mr Kafouris, 40, told how one pupil said to him, ‘Don’t touch me, you’re a Christian’, when the teacher accidentally brushed against him with his arm.
Others said, ‘We want to be Islamic bombers when we grow up’, and ‘the Christians and Jews are our enemies, you too because you’re a Christian’, he added.
Mr Kafouris, who had taught at Bigland Green Primary School, in Tower Hamlets, East London, for 12 years, said there was a change in attitude of pupils at the school – where the majority of pupils are Muslim – after the World Trade Center attacks.
According to the most recent Ofsted report ‘almost all’ the 465 pupils at the school are from ethnic minorities and a vast proportion do not have English as their first language.
Mr Kafouris, a Greek Cypriot, said pupils told him, ‘We hate the Christians’ and, ‘We hate the Jews’, despite his attempts to stop them.
The teacher is now suing his former school, the headteacher, and the assistant head for racial discrimination after they failed to take action about the comments made by pupils to him. Continue Reading →

European Somali’s fund terror with Khat use

Europe: Khat smuggling finances al-Shabaab
Europe: Khat smuggling finances al-Shabaab
Update: Small fixes.
Muhammed was just a small fish, going across the Øresund (the Sound). He would get 2,500 Danish kroner to fetch a sports bag in Tårnby, get on a train in Kastrup, drive over the Øresund Bridge and deliver it in Malmö. 2,500 kroner for a couple of hours work was tempting. Eseopcially on an evening when Muhammed intended to go into town, but was broke. So he said yes. The trip across the Øresund came through a man, whom Muhammed knew from the Somali community in Malmö. The man drove Muhammed and two other men from the community over the bridge and into Denmark.
They parked near Tårnby and waited. Shortly afterward another car parked next to them, and three large sports bags were taken out of the trunk from one to the other. Muhammed and two other men were then driven to Kastrup airport and each left with their own bag and money for a train ticket.
Every week many ‘small fish’ like Muhammed cross Denmark’s borders. They are couriers in a supply chain that stretches from the Horn of Africa, via plane to the Netherlands, through German and further to Scandinavia. The couriers smuggle khat – a shrub whose green leaves are chewed and the juice swallowed in order to get a euphoric and stimulating effect. A lot of African Salad – as khat is called by the Somali high-level consumers of the substance – is chewed in order to get stoned. Up to a kilo a day.
At the same time, khat leaves must be chewed 3-4 days after they’re harvested in East Africa in order for the effect to be felt. Therefore there must be a steady stream of fresh khat in order to keep the Somali community in Denmark, Norway and South Sweden chewing. And therefore large amounts of khat are smuggled into Denmark. About a ton a day, according to the south Jutland police, who are responsible for border checks at Padborg. 365 ton a year, for an estimated street-value of about 73 million kroner. Last year the police managed to confiscate around 8 tons of khat.
If both police claims are true, it doesn’t take a lot to see that most of the fish slip through the police net.
Muhammed felt that things were going well. From the time he stepped onto a train in Kastrup, the whole way over Øresund, and until he hailed a taxi in Malmö to drive to the address where the bag should be delivered. But when he stepped out of the taxi, two men stepped out of a parked car and showed him their police badges. Muhammed was caught in the net together with his two fellow smugglers and the 70kg of khat they brought across the Øresund in the bags. Unlike Denmark, it’s punished severely there. The Malmö court didn’t believe Muhammed’s explanation that he was sure the sports bag had used clothing for Africa. He got ten months in prison, according to the court records.
Muhammed served six months and was released. That is what he says when we meet him at a cafe on Stortorget in Malmö. He wants to tell of his carrier as a khat smuggler, but anonymously. He fears punishment from those responsible, if he snitches. He will therefore only say his name, and that he has lived in Sweden, to which he came from Somalia, since the early 1990s. He’s more eager to recount what he heard in prison. A story that completely agrees with what some Western intelligence services warn about. Through the other imprisoned khat smugglers, Muhammed found out that he had been working for a group of terrorists. Continue Reading →

U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates said Feb. 8 that Iran has left the international community no choice but to pursue new sanctions against the country, Reuters reported. Gates, at a joint news conference with French Defense Minister Herve Morin, said a peaceful resolution to the issue of Iran’s nuclear program is possible, but “it will require all of the international community to work together.” Morin said France is in “complete agreement” with the United States, BBC reported.

Western Civilization on Trial: Why We Should Be Watching Geert Wilders
From The National Review
As the Geert Wilders case goes into pre-trial, National Review Online asked our experts: Is there any legitimate reason he’s in court? What are the implications of such a trial being held, nevermind its outcome?
BAT YE’OR
Geert Wilders is a hero for those countless Europeans who cherish a free and democratic Europe — a Europe proud of its Judeo-Christian and humanistic values, its civilization, and its achievements in the field of human rights. But this is not today’s Europe. In today’s Europe, synagogues, Jewish schools, clubs, and cemeteries need to be guarded — as if going to a Jewish school or praying in a synagogue were a crime punishable by death as in Nazi-occupied Europe. Intellectuals, scholars, and those who protest the creeping Eurabization of culture and society are threatened, boycotted by their colleagues, thrown out of their jobs, forced to leave their families and go into hiding, or obliged to live with bodyguards. Wilders has devoted his life to freeing Europe from Eurabia’s clutches. To this titanic struggle he has sacrificed the security of his life and the joys of family. Threatened by a desert whirlwind blowing hatred upon Europe from the south, spending days and nights shielded by bodyguards, persecuted and tormented by his feckless Eurabian opponents, Geert Wilders incarnates the free soul of an unbending Europe.
— Bat Ye’or is author, most recently, of Eurabia: The Euro-Arab Axis.
PAUL MARSHALL
The American media’s silence about the Geert Wilders trial is puzzling — the trial is explosive, much more so than most of America’s perennial “trials of the century.” Wilders, leader of the Freedom party, is arguably the Netherlands’s most popular politician, but for years he has had to live in safe houses, including on military bases. He now faces the possibility of imprisonment on charges of “group insult” and “incitement to hatred,” as defined by articles 137 (c) and (d) of the Dutch penal code, for his public speeches and op-eds criticizing Islam.

London-Muslim bus driver stops mid-route to pray

A Muslim bus driver stunned passengers when he pulled over and started praying in the aisle – with the engine still running.
The driver parked without warning then rolled out a fluorescent jacket as an improvised prayer mat.
He took off his shoes, knelt down facing Mecca, and began to chant.
The prayer session held up the bus for more than five minutes with no-one able to get on or off. Continue Reading →
Support Geert Wilders in London on 5th March 2010: In support of Democracy, Free Speech and Civil Liberties
By CMB • on February 7, 2010
from Liberties Alliance:
An event to support Geert Wilders when he comes to show Fitna in the House of Lords has been announced on Facebook:
Geert Wilders has been invited to show his short film Fitna in the House of Lords on 5 March 2010.
The purpose of this rally is not to attack Islam or Muslims, but rather to show support for Geert Wilders and to celebrate the achievements of Western Civilization. Namely Democracy, Free Speech and Human Rights.
Just under a year ago the Labour Government barred him entry to the country after Nazir Ahmed threatened to bring 10 000 Muslims to besiege the Houses of Parliament. To censor opposing views in a democracy is a moral outrage and suggests an inclination towards tyranny and appeasement on the part of the Government. Of course the Government was subsequently forced to remove this ridiculous ban and now Geert Wilders can finally get to show his film in the House of Lords.
In Holland the latest attempt of the Dutch ruling class to keep Wilders from office has begun, Mr. Wilders is on trial in the Netherlands for telling the truth. This trial will have unparalleled significance for the future of Europe. It is not just about whether our culture will survive, but whether we are even allowed to state the fact that it is being threatened.
Mr Wilders visit will be only a couple of months prior to the expected British general election, and the issue of Islamization is something that many in Great Britain are acutely concerned about. Hopefully, his visit will help break the taboo about discussion of Sharia in Great Britain and encourage an open and honest debate on the subject in the run-up to the General Election.
Show your support for Geert Wilders, Democracy and Free Speech by attending this rally on the 5th March 2010.
You, Britain, are the breeding ground for Muslim terrorists
The Nobel laureate Wole Soyinka says the UK, not Nigeria, should be on the terrorism watch-list.
Read the comments in The Times and you see that almost all responders agree with her. Pretty hard not to actually.
Ever since I told the US website The Daily Beast that Britain was a cesspit and a breeding ground for fundamentalist Muslims, people have been asking me what I meant: “Why do you, a Nobel laureate, say such things? Where’s the evidence?”
So let me clarify: I was responding to a question about what I thought about Nigeria, my home country, being placed on a US watch-list of states deemed to be incubators of Islamist terrorism. The listing — which puts Nigeria into a club whose members include Afghanistan, Somalia and Yemen — followed the failed attack by the Nigerian student Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the young man who boarded a plane with a bomb in his underpants.
I believe it was irrational to point the finger of suspicion at Nigeria because this young man — the so-called Christmas Day bomber — was not radicalised in Nigeria. Everything we know about Abdulmutallab suggests that it happened in London, where he went to university.
The same is true of the shoe bomber, Richard Reid. And of the extremists who bombed the London Underground and the buses in July 2005. (A Nigerian was killed in those bombings.) The terrorists who primed a car found outside a London nightclub in 2007 with petrol containers, gas canisters and nails were based in Britain. If Nigeria qualifies for a place on the US list of terrorist countries then, admit it, Britain is overqualified. Continue Reading →
UK anti-Semitism at record high
From The Jerusalem Post
The number of anti-Semitic incidents in the UK set a new high in 2009, the most since records began, according a report released on Friday.
The Community Security Trust, a charity that monitors anti-Semitism and provides security for the Jewish community in Britain, recorded 924 anti-Semitic incidents in 2009.
The high number of incidents was attributed to “unprecedented levels of anti-Semitism” during and in the immediate aftermath of Operation Cast Lead. This included 288 incidents last January, during the conflict, and 114 in February, after the cease-fire. These compared with a previous highest monthly total of 105 incidents in October 2000.
The 36-page report stated that 212 of the 924 incidents, 23 percent of the total, recorded by CST in 2009 included some form of reference to Operation Cast Lead. In January, 158 of the 288 incidents made reference to the Gaza conflict. Continue Reading →
