News items for May 11 2014 – 1

1. Andrew Bostom on Fox’s Lou Dobbs

2. There are eight countries in the world where atheism is a capital crime.  ALL EIGHT OF THEM are Muslim countries

3. Far right activists have targeted mosques in Bradford attempting to hand out Bibles and distribute leaflets accusing community elders of failing to stop grooming gangs.

(It should be fascinating to find out what the exact set of qualia required to get the moniker of ‘Far Right’ that we see used to describe anyone not sufficiently far left or islamic. In fact, religious muslims with their central dogma of how women should be viewed etc. would fit the definition of ‘far right’ as the authors typically intend the term to be understood, while the real definition, someone who believes in small government and maximum possible liberty and individual responsibility is never what is meant)

4. Mers virus: Saudis warned to wear masks near camels

(This may make it difficult to drink the urine. Maybe they just need a longer straw)

The agriculture ministry advised people not to come into contact with camels unless necessary and to wash their hands if they did.

Saudia Arabia is the country by far most affected by Mers, with 133 deaths since the virus was detected in 2012.

5. Islamic extremists blew up a bridge, killed an unknown number of people and abducted the wife and two children of a retired police officer in northeast Nigeria

(Boko Haram has been very busy recently. I wonder if they also get their weapons from the US embassy in Libya, or is it just Al Qaeda in Syria that do?)

Ahmed Mahmud-Gumi, a Nigerian Islamic scholar, speaking in northern Kaduna city on Friday, said it “may trigger waves of terrorism never seen before.”

In the war zone, local government chairman Abawu James Watharda said no one could count the dead because 3,000 survivors have fled Friday night’s attack on the town of Liman Kara.

Fleeing residents say the insurgents blew up the bridge that links the states of Adamawa and Borno. That would cut off any military vehicles attempting a hot pursuit.

Thank you Snaphanen, A Bostom, Fjordman, GoV, Wrath of Khan, and all who sent in materials today.

  1. Troops face ‘growing mental health cost’ of Afghan war (BBC, May 11, 2014)
    http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-27365003

    “There has been a “significant increase” in the number of UK veterans of the Afghanistan conflict seeking mental health treatment, says a charity. Combat Stress said it had received 358 new Afghanistan veteran referrals in 2013, compared with 228 in 2012.

    The charity, currently supporting more than 660 Afghanistan veterans, said the issue would become heightened as UK forces prepared to leave the country. The government said it had invested £7.4m on mental health services.

    Combat Stress said it had found that veterans generally waited an average of 13 years after serving before they sought help, but this had fallen to an average of 18 months for Afghanistan veterans.

    The mental health charity said its total caseload of more than 5,400 veterans across the UK was the largest in its 95-year history…”

  2. 2) actually 56 of them have laws on the books for apostasy. how many actually follow their laws is much less.

  3. 3/ The ‘Independent’ accepts Hope Not, Hate’s account of itself as an ‘antifascist’ organization without a flicker of critical, skeptical, independent thought. The slanted potted history of Britain First, courtesy of Hate, Not Hope, is bracketed by two paragraphs each from Nazam Azam and George Galloway, both hostile to Britain First, and further nested within that description of Britain First as ‘far right’ and its own statement that the Yorkshire Brigade has ‘blooded’ itself. People might begin to wonder if there isn’t a template for these stories.

  4. very important information wrath of khan regarding ‘combat stress’ of UK troops.

    This stress is likely doubt about what you were forced to do. To have fought Hitler but kept Himler in power. They would have then seen the German soldiers as pawns, the murders in the name of power, as they themselves now are commited. They looked at the UK government and at the Afgan Government and saw no difference. Muslims and the debauched in both. The schools in the UK making children Shariah compliant. And the penny dropped. There was no moral purpose to set people free. To lay down your life so an immigrant family may prosper and your country no more. Your enemies are the self-destructive capitulation politicians at home.

  5. In the west the far right is trying to conserve classical liberal freedoms, a fact that the left in the west has successfully fought to keep from the majority of the people, this is why we are seeing so many attempts to allow government regulation of the internet.

  6. So… the ACLU was created to make Critical Theory operational. A mechanism, a blunt instrument. Sow dissent, fragment society by abusing our sacred cows.

    That makes sense.

    I always wondered how they could condemn anti-Semitism so stridently, then support a Nazi parade through a majority Jewish suburb of Chicago. The only commonality is they both make people angry. Where are the anti-social-behavior enforcers when they’re needed!
