Eyewitnesses described seeing people blown apart and body parts in the street….”

  4. China Uighur Muslims responsible

    China blamed militants from the restive far western region of Xinjiang on Sunday for an attack at a train station on the other side of the country by knife-wielding ‘‘[ Muslim ] terrorists’’ in which at least 33 died, including four of the assailants, who were shot dead.

    The attack, in the balmy southwestern city of Kunming late on Saturday evening, marks a major escalation in the simmering unrest which had centred on Xinjiang, a heavily Muslim region strategically located on the borders of Central Asia.

    It is the first time people from Xinjiang have been blamed for carrying out such a large-scale attack so far from their homeland, and follows an incident in Beijing’s Tiananmen Square in October which shook the country’s Communist leadership.

    China has stepped up security in Xinjiang after a vehicle ploughed into tourists on the edge of Tiananmen Square, killing the three people in the car and two bystanders. China labelled it a suicide attack by militants from Xinjiang. Xinjiang is home to the Muslim Uighur people, many of whom chafe at Chinese restrictions on their culture and religion.

The chief of security for Kandahar, Rahmatullah Atrafi, said a letter was sent to the prison on Tuesday requesting the release of 28 prisoners. Sixteen were due for release but the other 12 were not. The deception was only discovered after the inmates had been freed. Officials say two have since been recaptured. The search for the others continues. So far no one has said it was behind the deception although correspondents say the Taliban have carried out several jail breaks in recent years….”

  7. 1/ A mixed blessing, improved public transport in China – easier to get home for New Year, but also easier for ‘restive’ ‘restless’ ‘unhappy’ ‘separatists’ who wanting ‘an end to state suppression’ ‘chafe at Chinese restrictions’ to get around. All likely to ‘provoke a heavy-handed response’ from a China that ‘bristles’ at the suggestion. Like a hog or dog.

  9. A death cult, behaves… as a death cult. The innocent are the aggressors, they reason, because they do not kow-tow or hold a stance of reactionary irrationality, so cannot be controlled by a carrot or a stick, halal or haram, politically correct or thought crimes. Kill the innocent, so in terror they lose their innocence by taking sides to the far left or far right, it matters not, and the Mohammedan and Communist will sleep in peace, And their Exulted Betters bring prosperity to the few.

  11. UK – Warehouse installs Turd-World-style squat toilet because Muslim workers ‘kept breaking the loo by standing on it’

    A warehouse in Swindon has installed a ‘hole-in-the-ground’ toilet to cater for Muslim workers, according to reports.

    Employees from northern Africa apparently prefer squatting while using the loo, prompting managers to order a new toilet to match their requirements.

    Bosses at the DHL warehouse are also said to be infuriated after workers broke the traditional loo seat by squatting on it.

    […] squat loos may be set to gain in popularity in Britain, thanks to doctors who claim that the squatting posture brings health benefits.

    Some medics believe that squatting while going to the toilet is a more ‘natural’ position, and could protect against disease.
