A quick note to Vlad’s friends and readers.
It has been a very busy couple of days for me, so I have lost track of who sent me what. I Just want to thank all of you who send in such great stuff and do all this research for all of us to see and apologize that most of today’s posts are missing the appropriate tip of the hat and thanks. But know I and everyone really does appreciate all your hard work and thoughtfulness sending these links and videos in.
Eeyore.

They baited him and when he tried to use an analogy they had him destroyed. No consequences for the racist attack on him that preceded all this though of course.

6. Israel’s “Crap Cannons”
As usual, Israel finds more and more benign means to stop violent demonstrations and as usual, the media does its best to make it appear as evil as possible. Like the ‘White Phosphorus’ that Israel used to help it identify what was and was not a target during Op Cast Lead and was accused of using illegal weapons to burn people with. A quick search showed the truth of it, which is that WP is not illegal in warfare at all and in fact is used as a kindness to the enemy to make sure you don’t fire on noncombatants.

Tunisia police clash with Salafists in Tunis
Tunisian police fired tear gas to disperse Salafist Muslims in a residential area in southwest Tunis on Saturday, after they tried to set up tents to preach in, the interior ministry said.
“Security forces intervened with force to disperse between 200 and 300 people who wanted to set up, without prior authorization, tents around and inside the mosque in Sidi Hassine Sijoumi,” interior ministry spokesman Mohamed Ali Aroui told AFP.
“Police fired tear gas to disperse them as they were throwing rocks and petrol bombs,” Aroui said, adding that calm had been restored by late Saturday.
Tunisian news agency TAP, however, reported “violent clashes” between police and 1,000 Salafists who had come to set up large tents in the area.
TAP said the clashes erupted after prayers in the afternoon around the Bilal mosque in the Sidi Hassine Sijoumi area, where the Salafists used knives and Molotov cocktails.

“Crap Cannons” : Too wonderful! I love it!
“…But know I and everyone really does appreciate all your hard work and thoughtfulness sending these links and videos in.”
We are in YOUR debt. Thank you for all your work, I have a feeling that you are not paid well for it 😉 What I find still amazing is that I often get infos about the places I live in quicker from Vlad Tapes than from the local media.
Greek Ministry of Education to fund construction of Athens mosque
Athens – The Greek Ministry of Education has provided the funds for the construction of a mosque in Athens. Building work is set to commence within the month, once the Council of State rules on objections to the mosque.
The Ministry of Education has struggled to provide essential classroom basics, including books and heating, due to decreased allocations of funds to satisfy demands by international creditors. Even as the department faces a strike by secondary school teachers over increased working hours for less pay, it has managed to allocate the sum of €946,000 to the Ministry of Growth to fund construction of the controversial mosque in Athens.
According to To Vima the Council of State must first rule over objections to the mosque, including objections by the Metropolitan Bishop of Piraeus Seraphim and some local residents. However, if the objections are overruled then funds are now in place to begin construction. Once complete, GR reported the mosque will be transferred for free to the steering committee of the Islamic mosque in Athens.
The mosque will service the estimated 120,000 Muslims, comprised primarily of immigrants and refugees, who currently use makeshift mosques. The Mayor of Athens, Giorgis Kaminis, favours the construction of 14 mosques in the nation’s capital.
News of viable funding for the mosque came in the same week in which authorities in Turkey rejected a request by Christians to build a church in Ankara.
