This is a 40 minute interview with Noni Darwish about her life as a Muslim woman in the west, freedom of speech and why the west must equip itself to deal with Islam if it wishes to hold on to all it has accomplished.

More than 120,000 people had last night signed an internet petition protesting about plans by Islamic extremists to march through Wootton Bassett.
Hate preacher Anjem Choudary sparked outrage by saying his radical group Islam4UK would parade through the town renowned for honouring soldiers killed in Afghanistan.
The firebrand cleric said 500 of his supporters would carry ‘symbolic coffins’ in memory of the Muslim civilians ‘ murdered by merciless’ coalition forces.
Hate preacher: Anjem Choudary, centre, and his followers plan to protest through the town of Wootton Bassett, Wilts.
In remarks designed to cause maximum offence, he compared fallen British heroes to Nazi stormtroopers and the September 11 and July 7 terrorists. He even claimed his plan was backed by families of servicemen and women.
But MPs, military chiefs, moderate Muslims and councillors expressed horror that 42-year-old Choudary was ‘hijacking’ the town for political purposes. In less than 48 hours, more than 120,000 people joined a Facebook campaign opposing the march by Islam4UK, which calls itself a ‘platform’ for the banned extremist group al-Muhajiroun.
Petition organiser Jo Cleary, who works with service families, urged supporters to express their ‘alarm and distress’ to Wiltshire Police in a bid to stop the plan.
She said: ‘This group can march anywhere it wishes in the country but has chosen Wootton Bassett to cause outrage and offence. We need our politicians to make a statement saying that this march will never take place.’ Continue Reading →
This is the man who is behind the Swiss minaret referendum. He is interviewed here about Islam and the west as well as his appearance on Al Jazeera TV. All 10 parts of the interview are available to be seen here, however I can only find 8 of them in English.

For more on a related story check this out. Makes one wonder if we were so wrong to intern the Japanese and Germans in WW2. In fact the treatment of them was wring. Taking the property of those who were not enemies was wrong. But the internment itself? One spy can make the difference between winning and losing a war.
Footage released by the CIA shows a man conducting a clandestine arms deal in a Tbilisi, Georgia hotel, allegedly procuring parts of weapons and other military systems for use in Iran.

Unbeknownst to the man, the dealers he is talking to were in fact undercover CIA agents.
According to a Channel 2 analyst, where the footage was aired Sunday evening, the fake transaction in the hotel, which ended in the man’s arrest, may be a modus operandi of the Iranian regime and there is no telling how many similar transactions end successfully, from the point of view of the Iranians.
In the footage, Amir Hussein Aldabili is seen sitting in a hotel room with two other men, telling them “They need 1000 [pieces] of this kind… they are making a special radar… a phase array radar.”
When the men ask Aldabili “Who will be the real customer?” he clearly answers “the customer is Iran… I don’t have customers outside Iran.” Continue Reading →

Islam on Campus – published in July 2008 – is the most comprehensive survey ever undertaken of Muslim student opinion in the UK. It is based on a specially commissioned YouGov poll of 1400 students, as well as on fieldwork and interviews.
The report examines students’ attitudes on key issues including religious tolerance, gender equality and integration. While most Muslim students support secularism and democratic values, and are generally tolerant towards other minorities and reject violence in the name of their faith, Islam on Campus uncovered significant findings:
– 40% of Muslim students polled support the introduction of Sharia into British law for Muslims.
– Almost a third (32%) of Muslim students polled said killing in the name of religion was ever justified. By contrast, just 2% of non-Muslims polled felt the same way
– 40% of Muslim students polled felt it unacceptable for Muslim men and women to associate freely.
– 33% of Muslim students polled declared themselves supportive of a worldwide Islamic Caliphate based on Sharia law.
– 54% of Muslim students polled were supportive of an Islamic political party to represent the views of Muslims at Parliament.
– Slightly less than a quarter (24%) of Muslim student respondents do not think that men and women are equal in the eyes of Allah.
– 6% of Muslim students polled said that converts from Islam should be punished “in accordance with Sharia law.”
– 25% of Muslim students (and 32% of male Muslim students) polled said they had not very much or no respect at all for homosexuals.
– 66% of Muslim students polled said they had lost respect for the… read more.
Of course this is a preposterous solution. One of them is going to swallow a condom of PETP sooner or later and learn to detonate it right. You gonna give everyone a barium enema?
Muslims should have to take their own airlines and not be allowed to deviate from flight plans by a degree. Profiling is not enough at this point. Sooner or later we have to come to terms with the fact that Muslims acting in accordance with the teachings of Islam are responsible for terrorism, which by the way is the least of the threat to the rest of us that Islam presents.

Khalid Mahmood, the Labour MP for Birmingham Perry Barr, said it had become necessary to ‘profile’ passengers from certain racial and religious groups in order to weed out possible terror suspects.
He said: “I think most people would rather be profiled than blown up. It wouldn’t be victimisation of an entire community.
“I think people will understand that it is only through something like profiling that there will be some kind of safety.
“If people want to fly safely we have to take measures to stop things like the Christmas Day plot. Profiling may have to be the price we have to pay.
“The fact is the majority of people who have carried out or planned these terror attacks have been Muslims.”
Muslim opinion on the subject was split yesterday, with some groups objecting to any such move for fear of alienating large sections of the community.
Massoud Shadjareh, the chairman of the Islamic Human Rights Commission, said: “It’s not true that all terrorists are Muslims.
“Any such measure would not only alienate people, it would also be ineffective in terms of stopping terrorists. What’s to stop them dressing up as orthodox Jews in order to evade profiling-based searches?”
However, many British Muslims now agree with Mr Mahmood.
Dr Shaaz Mahboob, of British Muslims for Secular Democracy, said: “We have seen that certain types of people who fit a certain profile – young men of a particular ethnic background – have been engaged in terror activities, and targeting this sort of passenger would give people a greater sense of security.
“Profiling has to be backed by this type of statistical and intelligence-based evidence. There would be no point in stopping Muslim grandmothers.”
The Airport Operators Association and BAA, the UK’s largest airport operator, are in favour of passenger profiling.
The UK Border Agency says profiling is one of the security measures used in the case of people coming into Britain, but the Department of Transport refuses to say whether it is used on passengers leaving the country.
Al-Awlaki has been accused by US counter terrorism officials and the Yemeni government of being one of the driving forces behind Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab’s conversion to an extreme form of Islam.
Today we can reveal al-Awlaki has spoken on at least seven occasions at five different venues around Britain via video-link in the last three years alone, despite being banned from entering this country in 2006.
On at least two occasions the American-born cleric addressed audiences at a Muslim centre which was receiving taxpayers money under Government’s programme to prevent violent extremism.
Al-Awlaki is one of a series of radical preachers who have spoken at venues benefiting from money intended to counter Islamist radicalisation. Continue Reading →

British-based al-Qaeda fanatics threatened to kill a soldier’s family after learning his sniper team had killed 32 Taliban.
Armed police were sent to his home after anti-terrorism officers uncovered the plot to murder his parents.
The plans came to light when the security services monitored “chatter” – believed to be on mobile phones or the internet – between al-Qaeda extremists.
It is the second time a soldier or his loved ones are known to have been targeted in the UK by groups linked to al-Qaeda. Continue Reading →
While this particular documentary about Londonistan, Islam in the UK, featuring that poseur colostomy bag, ‘Anjem Chaudery’ has been broadcast before, its interesting that CNN felt this was a good time to rebroadcast it in the wake of the attack on Kurt Westergaard and of course, the Christmas thong bomber.
Here it is for anyone who hasn’t seen it. Just remember, the rattle snake isn’t the dangerous one. It’s the one who doesn’t rattle you have to watch for.
Thanks to Europenews.dk we see that those protesting for regime change in Iran from Copenhagen actually seem to be orders of magnitude smarter than the ones in last week’s rally in Ottawa. Below, a snip of the Europenews article but pop over and read it all.

Today, January 2nd 2010, protesters in 28 cities stood up against the brutal Iranian regime, for freedom of expression, freedom of religion and the separation of the Iranian state from Islam. And, not least, for regime change in Iran and for holding the current rulers accountable for their crimes. Pictures and impressions are from the rally in Copenhagen, where 200-250 Danes and Iranians participated in the rally.
(Note: More pictures to be posted later. They can be seen at Facebook.)
The rally was held at 17:30 in the evening, well after nightfall in Denmark. It was encouraged to hold torches as well as Iranian flags. The rally blended well with the lights in Rådhuspladsen (Town Hall Square) in Copenhagen. The thermometer (the red column in the background) shows minus 4 degrees centigrade.
The flag of Iran sports a lion and a sun, not a halfmoon or the abstract symbol of the Islamic Republic. Islamic invaders stole the country many centuries ago, and crushed a proud, independent culture. Iranians want their country and their freedom back, including freedom of religion.
The banners read:
Stop the killings – Stop the torture – Stop the disappearances – We are all together
Support the public demand for: Freedom & Equality in IRAN.
For the rest, please pop over to Europenews.DK
Lets see:
Iran is fighting a proxy war against Saudi Arabia by funding militants in Yemen.
Iran recently sent men and tanks to take over an Iraqi oil well a good distance within Iraq and took down the Iraq flag and hoisted an Iranian one
Iran is funding and equipping the terrorists in Gaza to attack Israel and at this time also Egypt. It is worth remembering that there is a main street in Tehran named after the man who murdered Anwar Sedat for having made peace with Israel.
Iran of course has Hizbolah cells that have all but taken over Lebanon and have a great deal of influence in Syria. Now Hizbolah has serious bases in Venezuela and will certainly give Chavez a lot more than he bargained for when the US is forced to retaliate for Hizbolah actions originating out of Venezuela, as is more and more likely.

The German state foreign broadcasting network Deutsche Welle (DW) was the target of a deliberate jamming signal originating in Iran, according to a report in news magazine Der Spiegel.
According to the report, the French national radio regulatory agency Agence Nationale des Fréquences wrote to the Iranian Ministry of Communication saying that on December 7 and December 8 signals had been detected that looked like “deliberate interference” with the DW satellite.
The affected satellite was the Hot-Bird satellite belonging to Eutelsat. The satellite operators apparently reacted to the disturbance by increasing the broadcasting power, whereupon the disturbance signal was also strengthened, cutting out an Arabian language TV broadcast from DW.
The origin of the disturbance was traced to the area of Tehran. Similar disturbances coming from Iran were already detected by the French authority in May and June 2009.
