1. Thanks to the failure of the media to report on Islamic horror and murder of Buddhists and Hindus in Sri Lanka and elsewhere in the region, Muslims are now staging protests pretending to be the victims of what is in fact, self defense against them by those they have attacked, raped, murdered and harassed for years. Let’s start in Toronto:
The never again to genocide sign I thought was funny. As they hijacked the issue of the genocide of the Jews of which Muslims played no small part.
Moving on to New York:
2. June 26: Obama seeks $500M to train, equip Syrian rebels
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama asked Congress Thursday for $500 million to train and arm vetted members of the Syrian opposition, as the U.S. struggles for a way to stem a civil war that has also fueled the al-Qaida inspired insurgency in neighboring Iraq.
The military training program would deepen the Obama administration’s involvement in the more than four-year conflict between rebels and forces loyal to Syrian President Bashar Assad. If approved by Congress, the program would supplement a covert train-and-assistance program run by U.S. intelligence agencies.
(And what could possibly go wrong with that)
3. Thousands of Iraq’s Christians streaming into Kurdish-controlled regions
4. If I am understanding this, some Judea-Samaria Muslims were setting a trap for Israelis, and then would typically stone or lynch the driver and passengers. They may have miscalculated on this one.
5. Australian muslim propagandist engineers the sentiments of entitlement and victimhood to paint Australia as somehow evil for not wanting to take in every potential muslim refugee and grant a full license to their cultural practices
6. Appeal against hijab dismissal rejected at top court in France

France’s top appeals court on Wednesday upheld the dismissal of a Muslim woman who was fired from her job at a privately-run creche for refusing to remove her headscarf while at work, reports dpa.
The Court of Cassation ruled that Fatima Afif’s dismissal from Baby-Loup creche in 2008 was justified under the creche’s internal rules.
The rules of the creche, which is situated in the suburb of Chanteloup-les-Vignes, state that freedom of religion “cannot stand in the way of the principles of secularism and neutrality.”
(And a tiny bit of good news. Some sanity left in France of a sort. But the reasoning is bad. Private businesses should have the right to set dress codes and people should have the right to accept or reject a job and chose whats more important to them. It is insane to force an employer to hire people in a burka for a modeling agency or a hair dressed under freedom of religion. It was never meant to mean that. It means that you shouldn’t be persecuted by the state for what you believe, not that you can force everyone else to change their culture for you)
Thank you everyone who sent in material., Mostly M and ML. More to post soon.
China Steps Up ‘Anti-Terrorism’ Measures Targeting Ramadan
Chinese authorities in the troubled northwestern region of Xinjiang have ordered mosques frequented by mostly Muslim ethnic minority Uyghurs to use the holy month of Ramadan to publicize Beijing’s anti-terrorism campaign, according to an exile Uyghur group.
The municipal government in the regional capital Urumqi has ordered mosques to “propagandize” China’s anti-terrorism policies on the eve of the beginning of Ramadan on Saturday, and just ahead of the fifth anniversary of deadly ethnic riots that left nearly 200 people dead in 2009, the World Uyghur Congress (WUC) told RFA.
Muslim Uyghurs will begin a month of dawn-to-dusk fasting and prayers on Saturday amid increased surveillance from neighborhood committee and security officials, as well as newly installed cameras, WUC spokesman Dilxat Raxit said.
“Between 10 and 18 security personnel have been stationed inside every mosque in the city for surveillance,” Raxit said. “Also, all mosques are being required to ensure that the surveillance cameras installed there are in normal working order.”
He said restrictions would be extended to Uyghurs at schools and colleges across the city.
“Students will have to attend ‘patriotic study’ classes, while schools are required to organize meals for students to ensure they don’t fast or attend any illegal religious activities,” Raxit said.
[…]”There was also a directive issued that calls for them … to enter and search people’s homes during the Ramadan period,” Raxit said.
“Surveillance teams are being set up in every town and village to carry out sudden-strike searches of Uyghur households, to see if they are holding any unauthorized gatherings,” he said.
Ethnic and religious affairs officials in Urumqi’s Tashan district said they have already hired a large number of temporary security personnel for “stability maintenance” work in religious affairs, local media reported.
[…]”Stability maintenance work will involve deep penetration into … places of religious activity, tightening management of places of worship and their staff, and preventing any members of the [ruling Chinese Communist] Party, civil servants, students, or minors from taking part in religious activities,” the officials said in a statement on Tuesday.
“We will continue to step up our monitoring of ethnic minority women entering places of worship,” reports quoted the officials as saying.
Uyghur civil servants and party members have long been banned from fasting during Ramadan, which is due to end in the three-day feast of Eid al-Fitr around July 28 this year.

When PC goes too far… The article actually somewhat improves with length and discovers some nuance at play. One more thing, it was obviously not the whole world (sans Germany) that went angry. (The original assumption must be some American PC delusion or something.)
#BBCtrending: Is it always racist to black up your face? (BBC, June 26, 2014)
http://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-trending-28018302
“All week, images of “blacked up” fans at the Germany v Ghana game have been causing outrage around the world – everywhere but Germany.
Here is how it began: “I was pretty upset. I was angry,” is how Jason Spears, a lawyer from Alabama, describes his reaction when he encountered the first of a total of eight fans with blacked up faces at last weekend’s Germany-Ghana World Cup match. There were even people lining up to take photos with a group of them, he says. Spears, who is African-American, confronted some of the men and told them – in no uncertain terms – just how offensive and racist he found their behaviour. The response from them, he says, was one of bewilderment….”

Israelis refuse to stop at an obvious Pali checkpoint? How racist! All the palis wished to do was peacefully show Israelis the good points of the RoP.
#2 This is how JFK got us into Nam, then we were at least aiding anticommunists this time we are aiding our enemies.
#4 The driver had good sense.
Ditto #2.
Ditto #4.
Finally someone who knows who got us into Nam.

If those young Arab males had managed to stop the car and get the door open, is there any doubt as to what they would have done to the Jew behind the wheel, as well as any passengers? The kid played the “human shield” card one too many times and he got clipped. Good…
