1. Virginia Church handing out pamphlets that offend muslims which are about 1/100th less offensive than the daily prayers of pretty much all Muslims are to Christians, Jews and all non-Muslims
The text of the pamphlet is here
2. Al-Qaeda stages parades through cities they conquer.
More intense and clearer insignias
(I was pretty sure I heard Obama say the war on terror was over and we beat these guys. Can’t remember where i heard it… I must have been mistaken)
3. Ottawa realtor charged with attempted murder after daughter, wife attacked
Paramedics would not confirm or deny reports that Jenna had her finger sliced off with a butcher knife and Dianne was slashed in the neck. The couple has another daughter Nadia and another university-aged son named Adam. Neither was injured.
A neighbour in the upscale Ashton neighbourhood who wouldn’t give his name told Metro that Khawas is of Muslim faith, while his wife, originally from Sudbury, converted to the religion.
(The real shock here is that a man who would attempt to murder his wife and daughter would be a Muslim.)
4. Top Iraqi Shia cleric calls on followers to take up arms
5. Baghdad quiet as mood darkens faced with Sunni threat
6. Iraqi forces abandon tanks in Kirkuk
Thanks everyone for all the links and info. I am still waiting on an Arabic speaker to tell me if the original version of the imam speaking at the Vatican says what he was reported to have said, and that the Vatican official release version was edited. If it was, I would want a very good explanation as to why. We hope to have this sorted at some point today EST.
It is happening! It is happening!
Iran sends forces to Iraq as ISIS militants press forward, official says (CNN, June 13, 2014)
http://edition.cnn.com/2014/06/13/world/meast/iraq-violence/index.html
“Emboldened militants, backed by Sunni tribal leaders, pushed toward Baghdad on Friday as Iran sent troops to fight alongside government forces. In Washington, increasingly nervous U.S. officials mulled their limited options to help slow the militants’ advance. In recent days, Iran has sent about 500 Revolutionary Guard troops to fight alongside Iraqi government security forces in Diyala province, a senior security official in Baghdad told CNN. Meanwhile, Sunni tribal leaders have lined up in support of radical Islamists from the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, or ISIS, making their push toward Baghdad easier, a Saudi intelligence official told CNN’s Nic Robertson….”
Seasoned Mideast commentators crystal-gazing for our delectation.
Mideast Crack-Up: Roundtable Discussion of New Arab Map
The fracturing of established Middle Eastern states into tribal, religious, and political enclaves isn’t visible on the maps that appear in newspapers and atlases. But while diplomats and commentators continue to refer to “Iraq” and “Syria” and “Lebanon” by the names that they were given in the aftermath of World War I, the reality on the ground is much more confusing.
The point of this survey is to get a range of opinions about what the rise of mini-states means and which future approaches to the region are likely to bear fruit—and which are likely to be a waste of time.

“I am still waiting on an Arabic speaker to tell me if the original version of the imam speaking at the Vatican says what he was reported to have said, and that the Vatican official release version was edited.”
I don’t speak Arapig but I noticed all the Jews busily reading from their mobile phones while the muslim was preying. I imagine they were “covering their ears” stopping themselves from listening to his filth.
The ISIL thugs are roadmarching along open, desert roads with no air cover: Why haven’t Iraqui government aircraft taken them out with cannon fire and naphalm?
The comic book is terrific!
Maybe instead of allowing imams into prisons, we should have grandma’s-visiting day. It’s ok if she’s a generic Grandma, as long as she knows the difference between good and bad, love and hate, life and death.
And quarantine Tards.
And get a tame imam to fatwa that jail-house conversions are haram.
Woody, good thinking.
They’re having so much fun. Do they have a clue about what they’re doing?
What’s missing from their heads?
