2. Some links on the most recent beheading of a Western aid worker.
REUTERS – Islamic State militants said in a video on Sunday they had beheaded U.S. hostage Peter Kassig and <b>warned the United States they would kill other U.S. citizens “on your streets”.
The announcement of Kassig’s death, in what would be the fifth such killing of a Western captive by the group, formed <b>part of a 15-minute video</b> posted online <b>in which Islamic State showed the beheadings of at least 14 men it said were pilots and officers loyal to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
Here is a link to a Spanish site with the video

Anyone who criticises Sharia law or gay marriage could be branded an “extremist” under sweeping new powers planned by the Conservatives to combat terrorism, an alliance of leading atheists and Christians fear.
Theresa May, the Home Secretary, unveiled plans last month for so-called Extremism Disruption Orders, which would allow judges to ban people deemed extremists from broadcasting, protesting in certain places or even posting messages on Facebook or Twitter without permission.
Mrs May outlined the proposal in a speech at the Tory party conference in which she spoke about the threat from the so-called Islamic State – also known as Isis and Isil – and the Nigerian Islamist movement Boko Haram.
Thank you Maria J., M., Tundra T. for a lot of hard work on the CFRA video, and many more. More to come shortly.
5. The Extremism Disruption Orders can only mean that since the Conservatives became expenses-fiddling Democrats, the vacated right of center became an Islamic opportunity to move unhindered – and they are winning the war of ideas by being able to express what is not being said. More Politically Correct imprisonment does not defeat those who stand among ten of you and blow themselves up for 72 virgin wives. The sooner Ukip get in power, the better; because a choice between David Cameron’s kingdom that does not stand up for family values (where a Gay couple can freely make a child motherless), and Islam’s, many will join The Caliphate in rage to have gis gead on a spike.

China to double Iranian investment (BBC, Nov 16, 2014)
http://www.bbc.com/news/business-30075807
“China is set to double its investment in Iranian infrastructure projects, Iran’s Mehr news agency reports.
China has raised its quota for Iranian projects to $52bn (£33bn) from $25bn the report said, quoting Iran’s deputy minister for energy, Esmail Mahsouli.
Water, electricity, oil and gas projects will all benefit from the extra financing, Mr Mahsouli said.
Iran has turned to China, Russia and Turkey for financing as Europe and the US have strict sanctions on the nation.
The US has an almost total economic embargo on Iran, while the European Union tightened up its sanctions in 2012, particularly targeting the energy and banking industries.
The US, the EU and other nations suspect Iran of developing atomic weapons and have imposed sanctions over that threat.
Iran says its nuclear programme is only for civilian use…..”

Tehran Friday Sermon: Threats to Raze Tel Aviv, Haifa, U.S. Bases to the Ground
In a November 14 Friday sermon in Tehran, Ayatollah Ali Movahedi-Kermani said: “The Sejjil ballistic missile can hit and raze to the ground any place in Israel, as well as any American base in the region,” and the crowds responded with cries of: “Death to America! Death to England! Death to Israel!” The sermon was broadcast on Iran’s TV Channel 1.
What in the hell is wrong with these people?
They were raised in a religion that celebrates death and destruction, then caught the leftist social class envy bug.
But all those crazy old men frothing at the mouth over nonsense bully-talk? Maybe they’ve had one Ashura too many.
Either that or they have smoked something that destroyed most of their brain cells.
Procol Harum – “Poor Mohammed” LYRICS
Poor Mohammed at the peep show
Kick the beggar down the stairs
Can’t keep guard, he’s old and feeble
Steal his books, burn his prayers
Poor Mohammed at the keyhole
Sit him by the kitchen door
Slop his food all around the table
Let him lick it off the floor
Put Mohammed in the cellar
Keep him there ’til half past ten
Ties some bacon to his beard
Let the rats out on him there
Thanks, CB-
Couldn’t make the lyrics out myself. Now I can teach them to my little Israeli visitors.
They are worth keeping alive in the world.
They’re precious. And tough.

DIALY MAIL – British medical student ‘in Jihadi beheading video’: 20-year-old ‘appears next to Jihadi John’ in sickening film

[…]More barbaric than ever, video that seeks to trigger an invasion
The horrifying video of the mass murder of Syrian soldiers and an American aid worker is very different from other Islamic State propaganda films.
Posted yesterday morning, it shows how the jihadists are seeking to heighten the disgust they provoke.
Security and military analysts believe this new tactic is a plot to lure Western and other forces into a full-scale ground offensive IS leaders think they can win.[…]

“Anyone who criticises Sharia law or gay marriage”
Since shariah itself critises gay marriage – and claims all gays should be killed, married or not – this could be difficult to enforce.
Up in court for critising gay marriage? Just claim “It’s in the Koran”, and the prosecuter is guilty of critising Shariah.
So all you will have then are only ideas those in power agree with. History shows this does not work. They are not stopping dissent. Only making it go under ground. A healthy society is one that can debate all topics and allow all views pro and con to be voiced and criticized. If you believes in gay marriage and sharia then the best way to convince others is to debate and show the fallacies in argument of those who oppose it.
#4 I really hope he is wrong about the number of fighters they have, by the time the US can rebuild their military those fighters will be combat vets and most will have learned how to stay alive in the battlefield.
This calls for somebody else’s feet on the ground.
Our allies, not our boys. Unless we’re prepared to occupy the Mideast permanently, the natives have to engaged directly.
With Obama in charge we don’t have enough boots to put on the ground, but neither do our allies. Yes the Islamic world will have to be occupied for a long time, then the useful idiots will force us to withdraw and the current mess can begin again.
I object to any American feeties on the ground there. Not even a toe.
Personally I wish we could convience the Brits to rebuild their Empire.
