Antisemitism and other forms of Islamic aggression: Links 3 for Nov 13 – 2014

2. German court jails 4 men for planning al Qaeda attacks

3. Turkish Terrorists targeted in Texas

Four men flew from Istanbul through Paris to Mexico City in late August, where they were met by a Turkish-speaking man who stashed them in a safe house until their Sept. 3 attempt to cross into the U.S. over the border with Mexico.

Their capture by the Border Patrol in Texas set off a fierce debate over the men’s intentions, with some members of Congress saying they were terrorist fighters. Homeland Security officials, including Secretary Jeh Johnson, countered that they were part of the Kurdish resistance which, like the U.S., is fighting the Islamic State’s advance in Iraq.

4. Germany warns anti-semitism rising on back of Middle East violence

Frank-Walter Steinmeier said Germany’s Jews were subjected to threats and attacks at pro-Palestinian demonstrations, and the conflict between Israel in Gaza must not be used as justification for an anti-semitic behaviour.

As well as slogans like “Gas the Jews!” during some marches, in July at the height of the 50-day Gaza war petrol bombs were thrown at a synagogue in Wuppertal which had been burnt down on Kristallnacht – a Nazi attack on the Jews in 1938 – and rebuilt.

“Bold and brutal anti-semitism has shown its ugly face again,” Steinmeier told an Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) event.

5. Former Isis Bodyguard: We Beheaded Children in Front of Parents

A former Islamic State [IS] bodyguard of a notorious militant has revealed the depravity of the group’s actions in their battle to expand their self-proclaimed caliphate in Iraq and Syria.

The bodyguard of Saddam Jamal, named only as Abu Abdullah, told The Daily Telegraph about his time guarding Jamal in an exclusive interview.

The IS militant was formerly a drug dealer before joining the Free Syrian Army (FSA) and then defecting to IS. His bodyguard spoke of a series of shocking incidents, including when Jamal forced a mother and father to watch as a fellow jihadist killed their children one at a time.

“Starting with a thirteen-year-old boy, they lined up the sons according to their height and beheaded them in that order,” said the bodyguard.

“Afterwards, they hung the boys’ heads on the door of the school the family had been hiding in.” Abdullah was clear that, for Jamal, being a militant of IS was not about a higher calling but to obtain more power.

(I wonder if Trudeau would be OK with calling these ‘barbaric practices’?)

  1. Jihadists returning to UK will face exclusion orders – PM (BBC, Nov 13, 2014)
    http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-30041923

    “British jihadists who fight abroad could be prevented from returning home under powers to be outlined by the PM. David Cameron is due to announce special exclusion orders which would ban suspected fighters entering the UK unless they comply with investigation. The controversial measure is at the heart of a planned counter-terrorism bill due to be unveiled this month.

    Experts have questioned whether bans would be legal, while Labour said more should be done to stop radicalisation. The plan to create Temporary Exclusion Orders comes after coalition talks, following the prime minister’s announcement in September of new counter-terrorism proposals. Under the unique powers, British citizens suspected of fighting with Islamic State (IS) militants would be stopped from re-entering the country unless they gave themselves up at the border.

    Each suspect would have their passport cancelled and their name would be added to a “no-fly list” that would prevent them departing for the UK. At the same time, each suspect would be allowed to return only if they agreed to be escorted by the police before facing either prosecution or close supervision under monitoring powers. The exclusion orders would last for up to two years at a time and could be renewed. Breaches could lead to prison. Government officials have told the BBC that the powers were designed to either stop suspects coming back – or only coming home on the UK’s terms….”

  2. ISIS announces new currency (CNN, Nov 13, 2014)
    http://edition.cnn.com/2014/11/13/world/meast/isis-currency/index.html

    “ISIS is planning to mint its own currency in gold, silver and copper, the group said Thursday. Its aim is to stay away from the “tyrant’s financial system,” ISIS said in a statement. It said it would issue another statement to explain the new currency’s exchange rate, and where it can be found. The currency will include seven coins: two gold, three silver and two copper.

    The move is “purely dedicated to God” and will remove Muslims from the “global economic system that is based on satanic usury,” ISIS said.

    The group, which calls itself the Islamic State, has seized large swaths of territory in Iraq and Syria. It seeks to establish an Islamic caliphate in the region.

    “Unlike its predecessor al Qaeda, which raised money principally from external sources … ISIS is principally, primarily self-funded,” Jimmy Gurule, a former U.S. Treasury undersecretary, told CNN’s “The Lead with Jake Tapper” on Thursday.

    He said its funding comes from oil, ransom payments, taxes and the sale of stolen artifacts….”

    McCains and Obamas buddies, yea?

        • He isn’t their friend, but he is willing and possibly wants to see them step into the vacuum created by his destruction of the US military. He just wants this to happen after he is out of office (if he intends to leave office) or after he has subdued the conservative uprising that is occurring.

    • As the worlds governments allow in more and more illegal immigrants we will see a lot more of the locals defending their nation and culture.

      • Yeah and they are making this war inevitable in the name of peace, just as they are making the Islamic conquest and colonization of the west possible in the name of anti-colonialism.

    China Communist Party’s anti-graft watchdog finds gold, cash in official’s home

    BEIJING (Reuters) – China’s anti-graft watchdog has discovered 37 kg (82 lbs) of gold, documents for 68 houses and 120 million yuan ($19.6 million) in cash in the home of a Communist Party official who is being investigated for corruption, state media said.

    The amount that was discovered in the home of Ma Chaoqun, who was the former manager of the Beidaihe Water Supply Corporation, was so large that state news agency Xinhua called it “shocking”.

    The Central Commission for Discipline Inspection in Hebei has accused Ma of bribery, embezzlement, misappropriation of public funds, according to the Beijing News newspaper.

    Ma’s case was among several other similar corruption cases in Hebei that Xinhua has dubbed “Little officials, Giant corruption”.

    “The amount of money involved in these cases is huge and it happened among the people,” Xinhua said. “The social influence is bad and the masses have reacted strongly.”

    Chinese President Xi Jinping has vowed to target high-ranking “tigers” as well as lowly “flies” in a sprawling campaign against corruption. He has warned, like others before him, that the party’s very survival is at stake.

    The crackdown has come as the government seeks to push forward a wider campaign against extravagance and decadence.
