Christmas in Paris. Muslims ‘preying’ for five blocks.

Posted on by

Below are two videos from the people who bring us all the videos of the barber section of paris, some of which, Vladtepes has subtitled and posted here from French.
What you see below the videos is a machine translation from French, but please go to the original site and see the photos and explanations of what you are seeing here. This is very clearly the illegal establishment of Islamic primacy here in Paris and has little to do with any sort of quaint cultural ritual you may see in a China Town in any large city. This, is war. The French, are losing.


A mass of Muslim occupation of the whole pavement of the Boulevard Barbès, and not hesitating to unroll their mats on the same floor of the Rue de la Goutte-d’Or, blocking all traffic loads, in total disregard for their drivers:

For the umpteenth time, we renew our appeal: how long the French authorities leave they take before to intervene and stop these illegal methods? Combien de rues seront occupées, confisquées, conquises par les musulmans, en plein Paris, avant que les autorités françaises ne se décident enfin à agir ? Source How many streets are occupied, confiscated, conquered by Muslims in the heart of Paris before the French authorities do finally decide to act?

I do have to wonder about this lone Klansman from the second video though….

Thank you Gaia

I just threw together the first clip, which I found here although I don’t know if they did the editing or not, with the family guy clips. The heavy lifting here of course is South Park and Family Guy but I did mess with the New Yorker cover and and tattoo. I hope you get a giggle.

The person who edited the first clip makes an important observation though. Apparently it was OK to do Mohamed cartoons before the riots.

Plane bomb suspect joined al Qaeda in London: Yemen

SANAA (Reuters) – A Nigerian man accused of the attempted bombing of a U.S.-bound plane on Christmas Day was recruited by al Qaeda in London and met a radical American Muslim cleric in Yemen, a top Yemeni official said on Thursday.

Yemen, the poorest Arab country, was thrust into the foreground of the U.S.-led war against Islamist militants after a Yemen-based wing of al Qaeda said it was behind the failed bombing.

“The information provided to us is that Umar Farouk (Abdulmutallab) joined al Qaeda in London,” Rshad al-Alimi, Yemen’s Deputy Prime Minister for Defense and Security, told a news conference.

Abdulmutallab, son of a prominent Nigerian banker, is believed to have embraced extreme religious views during trips to Yemen to study Arabic and Islam. He also studied engineering at University College London between 2005 and 2008.

Alimi said that Abdulmutallab had met Muslim preacher Anwar al-Awlaki during his time in Yemen — a U.S.-born cleric linked to the gunman who ran amok at the Fort Hood U.S. army base in Texas in November.

A Yemeni security official said last month that Awlaki may have been killed in a strike on al Qaeda militants, but other reports say he escaped and is on the run.

Yemen, located on the Arabian Peninsula’s strategically important southern tip, is trying to fight a threat from resurgent al Qaeda fighters as well as quash a Shi’ite revolt in the north and separatist sentiment in the south.

The authorities launched an operation this week to root out al Qaeda militants who they said were behind threats that forced Western embassies to close on Sunday. Continue Reading →

Gunmen kill 7 at Egypt church after Christmas Mass

CAIRO — Gunmen killed at least seven people in a drive-by shooting outside a church in southern Egypt as worshippers left a midnight Mass for Coptic Christmas Thursday, the church bishop, security and hospital officials said.

The attack took place in the early morning hours in the town of Nag Hamadi in Qena province, about 40 miles from the famous ancient ruins of Luxor.

Bishop Kirollos of the Nag Hamadi Diocese, a hospital administrator and a local security official all said seven people were killed in the attack. The security official said three people were seriously wounded as well.

The security official said two gunmen drove by a group as they were walking out of the Virgin Mary church and sprayed gunfire randomly into the crowd. The security and hospital officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the media.

Qena is one of Egypt’s poorest and most conservative areas.

Christians, mostly Coptic, account for about 10 percent of Egypt’s predominantly Muslim population.

Muslim-Christian clashes, largely confined to the south of the country in recent years, have seeped into the capital. As Islamic conservatism gains ground, Christians have increasingly complained about discrimination by the Muslim majority.

In summer 2008 in southern Egypt, a Muslim man was killed in clashes over the expansion of a Coptic Orthodox monastery, and Muslims torched Christian villagers’ homes because a priest was seen holding Mass inside a house, according to the Egyptian Initiative for Personal Rights, a rights group.

STRATFOR: Israel’s Iron dome tests succesful

Posted on by

Of course, if Iran fires one straight up above Israel and creates an EMP effect, I doubt the system can defend against that, or if Iran lets a nuke off on a ship off the shores of Israel. However its nice to have an umbrella against the barrage of missiles from Hamas and Hizbolah, and there must be some really great science in the Iron Dome missile defence system.

STRATFOR:

January 7, 2010
Israel’s Iron Dome anti-missile system, designed to respond to the thousands of rockets fired at the country by Hezbollah and Hamas, passed its final tests Jan. 6. The rocket system successfully intercepted multiple threats simultaneously, including rockets that mimicked Kassam and longer-range Grad-model Katyusha rockets. The defense department plans to integrate the system into the army, and will deploy the rocket interceptor outside the Gaza Strip by June 2010.

N.S. Muslim woman alleges mistreatment after denied entry into U.S.

By Michael Tutton (CP) – 2 hours ago

HALIFAX, N.S. — A Muslim woman alleges she was mistreated by border officials at the Halifax Stanfield International Airport after she was denied entry to the United States.

Ayat Manna, who lives in Halifax, said she had a one-way ticket departing Monday for Cleveland, where she was planning to spend several months to visit her husband.

But the 25-year-old was held for questioning – something she said made her believe she was targeted because she was wearing a head scarf and is a Muslim woman. Continue Reading →

Deadly Gunfire at Gaza Protest on Egypt Border

Posted on by

NYTimes… JERUSALEM — An anti-Egypt rally in southern Gaza turned deadly on Wednesday when demonstrators rushed the border fence and stoned Egyptian troops on the other side, leading to an exchange of gunfire and the death of an Egyptian soldier. Nine Egyptian soldiers and a dozen Palestinians were wounded from stones and gunfire, witnesses and medics said.

It was the most serious Palestinian-Egyptian violence along the closed Gaza border since Israel’s short-lived invasion more than a year ago, and reflected rising tensions between Gaza’s Hamas rulers and the Egyptian government, which, like Israel, appears determined to keep Gaza isolated. The demonstration, organized by Hamas, protested Egypt’s refusal to allow international aid and solidarity missions into Gaza as well as Egypt’s construction of an underground barrier to obstruct smuggler tunnels. Those tunnels supply both goods and arms to Hamas and Gaza.

As Hamas leaders gave speeches, young men climbed the border fence and threw rocks at the Egyptians, witnesses and police reported, and Palestinian police officers shot in the air to control the crowd, though to little avail. Egyptian troops then shot from their side. “Two Palestinians were instantly wounded from five bullets,” a witness said.

The Egyptian forces also tear-gassed demonstrators who waved Hamas and Turkish flags, witnesses said. A Palestinian aid convoy was stopped by Egypt in the northern Sinai city of El Arish and included Turkish activists. The group, called Viva Palestina, consisted of 500 people, including Americans, British and Jordanians. It had scuffled earlier with Egyptian security officials in El Arish. Dozens were hurt.

A compromise was reached and part of the convoy was en route into Gaza by nightfall.

“The area is calm now and the situation on the border is stable,” said Ihab al-Ghussein, spokesman for the Hamas Interior Ministry, at a news conference in Gaza City.

The Egyptian soldier who was killed was in an observation tower 100 yards from the demonstration’s stage, witnesses said.

Dr. Ahmed Shehada of Abu Yousef al-Najjar Hospital in Rafah, said it had taken in 12 wounded Palestinians, “most of them hit by gunshots.”

Terry Glavin: Blood libel alive and well and has state sponsorship

Posted on by

It’s at times like these that I find myself tempted to slink away from the emerging Canadian consensus that Human Rights Commissions should at all times be prevented from trespassing upon “freedom of speech.” The reason is I just can’t imagine any fitting substitute for lawful recourse in addressing this kind of thing. Actually, I can imagine a fitting substitute. The problem is it would probably end up playing out like that scene from the movie Inglorious Basterds, after Aldo Raine tells Donny ‘the Bear Jew’ Donowitz: Gots a German here, says he wants to die for his country. Oblige him.

The thing is, I just can’t seem to put my finger on a proper remedy between the extremes of having the state administer sanctions for what Canada has devolved into treating as the mere misdemeanour of propogating unreconstructed, drooling antisemitism, and the swift retributive justice of a baseball bat to the side of the head. Where does one start? Where would it end? Should we just laugh out loud at it? I don’t know. This is my problem. But I mean, really:

An international Israeli conspiracy to kidnap children and harvest their organs is gathering momentum as another shocking story divulges Tel Aviv’s plot to import Ukrainian children and harvest their organs.

Yes, I get it. It’s all the rage these days. It’s just some unpacking of the discourse in a site of competing post-colonial narratives and yada yada bla bla bla. But two things about this particular eruption of an ancient incitement caught my eye. The first is that the story appeared not two weeks ago in Al-Ameen, the house journal of the British Columbia Muslim Association (the periodical’s editorial board is in fact the executive committee of the BCMA, which also runs the Surrey Muslim School). The second thing is that the story itself is reprinted faithfully and accurately from that holocaust-denying international scab operation known as Press TV, which is the house journal of the Khomeinist tyranny in Iran.

I notice this because the ‘Ukrainian Kids New Victims Of Israeli Organ Theft’ story is not merely the dribblings of some pimply and deluded heavy-metal freak bashing away on his mummy’s old computer in a basement somewhere, trying to out-drool some other freak in some hillbilly internet message-board debate. It is vile antisemitic gibberish presented as a serious news story in what presents itself as a serious newspaper, run by a major, wealthy cultural organization in Canada, and the report comes straight from the propaganda arm of an extremely dangerous, unstable and violently anti-democratic regime that enjoys full status at the United Nations. This is reported, as fact: Israel has brought some 25,000 Ukrainian children into the occupied entity over the past two years in order to harvest their organs.

Where Have All the Conservatives Gone?

Posted on by

From The Brussels Journal

Britain will hold a general election within the next five months. And after more than a decade of the Leftwing Labour party, the Conservatives are expected to win. Party leader David Cameron is a likeable if nondescript man, in sync with the fashionable concerns of the media, and out of touch with the electorate.

Labour is loathed in Britain. So much so that there has even been talk of it being cast into the political “wilderness” for a decade, if not of its total destruction. It’s not difficult to grasp why. In the last decade Labour has encouraged uncontrolled immigration, in an attempt to change the country once and for all. It has presided over the growth of radical Islam. It has surrendered British sovereignty to the EU without so much as giving the people a vote on the matter. And, perhaps, most importantly, it has made political correctness the norm, stifling dissent, and silencing even the most reasonable objections to its project. Only “extremists” and “racists” would worry about such things, has been the message given out at every opportunity.

In the 2009 EU elections Labour came third, behind the Conservatives and the United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP). The latter wants to withdraw from the EU, and under its new leader, Lord Pearson, it will also tackle radical Islam.

Cameron’s speech on January 2 was an opportunity to show the public that he too will tackle the things the electorate cares about. The thwarted terrorist attempt over Detroit on Christmas Day provided reason enough to raise the issue of radical Islam in Britain, the damage that it does to the US-UK “special relationship,” and the threat it poses to the public’s safety, to democracy, and to liberty. He didn’t. Instead, Cameron repeatedly spoke of “hope” and – you guessed it – “change.” He has plans for “a new high-speed rail network,” but has no plans to tackle… read more.

Dagestan suicide bomb kills six police officers

Posted on by

BBCNEWS… A suicide bomb attack in Russia’s restive North Caucasus republic of Dagestan has killed six policemen and wounded 14 more, officials say.

The attacker tried to drive a truck loaded with up to 70kg of explosives into a traffic police station as officers were gathering, police say.

But his bomb was detonated when the car was rammed head on by police vehicle.

The sacrifice of the officers involved prevented an even worse tragedy, said the local police chief.

Wednesday morning’s attack in Dagestan’s capital Makhachkala was similar to a bombing in nearby Ingushetia last August that left at least 20 people dead, says the BBC’s Richard Galpin in Moscow.

The predominantly Muslim region has seen an increase in attacks by Islamist insurgents over the past year.

Russian forces have fought two wars against separatists in the mainly Muslim republic of Chechnya since 1994. The conflicts claimed more than 100,000 lives and left the region in ruins.

Chechnya has in recent years been more peaceful, but the fighting has spread to Dagestan and Ingushetia, where correspondents say a violent Islamist insurgency is growing.

EDITORIAL: Iran’s al Qaeda connection in Yemen

Posted on by

Iran is busy these days. No wonder they want the Israeli’s to save them. I wish they could.

From The Washington Times.

By THE WASHINGTON TIMES

The attempted Christmas Day underwear bombing of Northwest Flight 253 may have Iranian fingerprints, but those are dots the Obama administration doesn’t want to connect.

Iran and al Qaeda have made mutual war on America in Yemen before. In November 2008, Western security officials intercepted a letter signed by bin Laden deputy Ayman al-Zawahiri thanking Iran for its “vision” in helping al Qaeda establish a foothold in Yemen after being routed from Iraq and Saudi Arabia. The terror leader praised Tehran for its “monetary and infrastructure assistance” related to a September 2008 attack on the U.S. Embassy in Yemen’s capital Sana’a. Sixteen people were killed in the attack, which featured machine gun and rocket fire supporting a double suicide car bombing.

Last January, Saudi Guantanamo alumnus Mohammed Atiq Awayd al-Harbi (a.k.a. al-Awfi, or detainee No. 333) turned up in a videotape as a leader of the newly formed al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, the organization that recruited Flight 253 bomber Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab. Al-Awfi had been released to Saudi custody in 2007 and went through Saudi jihadist deprogramming before being set free. He turned himself back in to Saudi authorities in February 2009 and testified that Iran was involved in supporting Shi’ite rebels in Yemen, and was also making cash available to al Qaeda.

Some intelligence analysts downplay the idea of cooperation between al Qaeda and Iran because the two are ideological foes. But both detest the United States and have mutual interest in collaborative efforts that hurt U.S. interests. Iran has provided a safe haven – Tehran calls it “house arrest” – to scores of al Qaeda operatives since the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. One of Osama bin Laden’s wives, six children and 11 grandchildren are reportedly living in Iran. Former Guantanamo detainee No. 372, Said Ali al-Shiri, who like al Awfi joined al Qaeda in Yemen after Saudi deprogramming, had been in Iran shortly before being picked up by Coalition forces in 2001. Al Shiri was reportedly killed in an air strike in Yemen in December 2009 and may have been one of the planners of the attempted Flight 253 underwear bombing.
