1. Interesting poll. U.S.A: 29% Think Armed Rebellion Might Soon Be Necessary
2. Latma Obama sketch.
3. French appeals court determines that Israeli settlements do not violate international law
4. This is freaking brilliant. (British politician: “I’m so so sorry)
5. The BBC does a pathetic whitewashing of Islamic history in order to make the Buddhists the bad guys with stunningly selective historical cherry picking. It would at least have been worth mentioning that Afghanistan was a Buddhist country before they were exterminated by Muslims and even artifacts up to and including the 100 foot tall buddha statues have been destroyed by Muslims in a scripturally supported effort to destroy the very history of pre-Islamic residence on the land itself. An actual genocide of history. Something for which there is not even a word.
Anyone having a subscription to the Economist may want to trash it along with your STRATFOR membership.
6. President Obama’s pick to head the Federal Housing Finance Agency once said that a “majority of white voters” would never vote for a black candidate and that they should be excluded from “the democratic process.”
7. Nigel Farrage speaks to the UK faithful on the EU
8. Senior person in England’s National Health Service is wanted for 18 murders and torture in Bangladesh. Go figure!
One of Britain’s most important Muslim leaders – who has a senior role in the NHS – is to be charged with 18 murders by a war crimes tribunal in his native Bangladesh, investigators have told The Mail on Sunday.
Chowdhury Mueen-Uddin, who is director of Muslim Spiritual Care Provision in the NHS and is also a chairman of the Multi-Faith Group for Healthcare Chaplaincy, is accused of abducting, torturing and killing 18 journalists, academics and doctors during the bloody war of independence in Bangladesh in 1971.
‘Terrorist’ Veiled Doll Shocks US Muslims
“The unmistakable message behind the “humor” is that even the most peaceful looking Muslims are synonymous and exchangeable with terrorists.”
Featuring a photo of a Muslim doll with a Hijab, the talking bubbles placed on top of the doll’s photo read, “The Talking Doll, Pull string for message, if you dare,” and “She’ll Love You To Death! She’ll Blow Your Brains Out!”
The inside of the card reads “Hope your birthday is a BLOW OUT!”
The troubling card is based on an actual doll designed by Desi Doll Company called “Aamina, the Muslim Doll.”
The doll teaches kids religious greetings and sayings in Arabic with messages like “Assalamu Alaikum is the Muslim greeting, and it means peace be upon you” and “Let’s play together insha’Allah, insha’Allah means if God wills it.”

Exports to Egypt were halted in 2006 for four years over similar concerns
The Egyptian videos have not been made public

Afghanistan was Hindu and Buddhist. People remember Buddhism in Afghanistan but not as aware of its Hindu history

The selective history picking with the Buddhists in the Economist in clashes with Muslims, but there is precident in how they maligned Hindus in conflict with Muslims in the MSM. Same story – always Hindus the bad guys and Muslims the innocent angels. All they really need is to just replace “Hindu” with “Buddhist” when versus Muslim in their articles.
I don’t see whats so good about the Clegg video, the only thing he’s sorry about is losing votes. ‘Democracy’ is a cynical con, a piss take, a sick joke against populations around the world, we get NO choice, we can’t choose the candidates we are presented with. They promise what they think you want to hear, and once they’ve got your vote they go and do the exact opposite.NOT remotely impressed. They still hate us
