Immigration, islam, leftism and terror links for Jan 3 – 2015

1. New York Times does its usual job of looking reasonable while making unsubstantiated accusations of the counter-jihad.

(I don’t read the times often so I don’t know if its normal for them not to have comments. But I am not surprised there are no comments under this ludicrous piece of trash. There is so much wrong with it, it would take an article three times as long to expose it. But certainly it should be noted that in at least one of the fires at mosques in Sweden it is already widely suspected that a muslim is to blame who had a grudge against people at that mosque. The NYT article seems to miss that in its zeal to accuse islamophobes.

It is worth adding that in the last paragraph, they quote muslims as saying they no longer feel safe in mosques. Well perhaps they know now how Christians feel all across Africa and the middle east thanks to muslims)

2. Egypt’s Sisi: Islamic “thinking” is “antagonizing the entire world”

Among other things, Sisi said that the “corpus of [Islamic] texts and ideas that we have sacralized over the years” are  “antagonizing the entire world”; that it is not “possible that 1.6 billion people [reference to the world’s Muslims] should want to kill the rest of the world’s inhabitants—that is 7 billion—so that they themselves may live”; and that Egypt (or the Islamic world in its entirety) “is being torn, it is being destroyed, it is being lost—and it is being lost by our own hands.”

3. Saudi Arabia’s national airline to introduce gender segregation after a string of complaints from male passengers

Saudi Arabia’s national airline is allegedly planning to separate male and female passengers on its flights, in accordance to strict rules enforced by the Gulf kingdom.

Gulf media report that Saudia will keep men and women segregated onboard, unless they are close relatives.

The move follows a spate of complaints from male fliers unwilling to allow other males to sit next to their wives and other female family members.

    • ASAP, I’d guess.
      But as the article says, they’re unlikely to have the facilities for the specific diagnosis of Ebola. In time they’re sure to use biological or chemical means of attack.

      Something they think they can control, a weapon that doesn’t spell their own utter destruction. They’re not going to pull down the pillars just yet.

      They may talk a good game about ‘Apocalypse Now’, but the leaders aren’t the ones going off on suicide attacks, nor are their kids. As Anat Berko (among others) says: “They like to abuse the children of others, not their own.”

      Here’s a really good Anat Berko article:

  8. CANADA – Calgary’s Somali community saddened by 2 deaths in 2 days

    Only three days into the near year and the Somali community of Calgary is mourning the loss of another young man.

    On Thursday, Abdullahi Ahmed, 26, was killed after a shooting at a southwest Calgary house party that left one person dead and injured six others. On Friday morning, Calgary police responded to a call of gunshots in the northwest community of Rosedale and found a man dead in an alley.

    CBC has confirmed that the Rosedale shooting victim was Murad Omar, 23. He had been living in Canada with his family for 11 years. He had just returned to Calgary from a trip to Africa.

    Imam Abdi Hersy is a leader in the Somali community and says he is heartbroken by another tragic death in the community. He said he has lost count of how many young Somalis have been killed in Alberta in the last few years but he estimates the number to be around 50.

    • Witnesses tight-lipped after Calgary New Year’s party shooting

      CALGARY — Family of a Somali man murdered in a New Year’s Day mass shooting have gathered in Calgary, as their plans the grim task of burying one of its own.

      Police confirmed the man killed in a fusillade of gunfire at a New Year’s house party is Abdullahi Ahmed, 26.

      He moved to Calgary from Toronto about six years ago and now the young man’s mother has flown across the country from that city to grieve for her son with others from the family.

      Calgary Somali Imam Abdi Hersi called the mother and the rest of Ahmed’s family strong in the face of tragedy.

      “They’re holding up,” Hersi said. “They have to.

      “They don’t have a choice.”

      Community elders are readying for a funeral as soon as an autopsy is conducted and Ahmed’s body is released back to his family.

      Meanwhile, solving the deadly New Year’s Day mass shooting is being stymied by a lack of helpful witnesses, police said Friday.

      Police have spoken to fewer than half the 50-60 people who the party where the shooting took place, and it hasn’t garnered much useful information, Insp. Ryan Ayliffe said.

      “We don’t have a clear picture of what went on,” he said. “The ones we have spoken to haven’t been very co-operative.”

      Six other people, including one man in a vehicle outside the house, were also shot and injured, none of them life-threateningly.

      “One or more offenders were in the party when the shooting started,” Ayliffe said.

      “When something like that starts, there’s confusion — some were trying to leave the residence when they were shot.”

      Ayliffe said it’s possible some of those partygoers, are afraid to come forward but urged them to overcome their fear.

      “We know you’re probably scared, but we can help,” he said, adding witnesses can contact police anonymously.

      “We don’t have a motive,” said Ayliffe. Police also don’t have any suspects.

      Exactly what happened is something Hersi said the Somali community is also at a loss to answer. He said there is only speculation at this point, but some Calgary Somali’s feel it was a targeted incident.

      “Some bad guys came at the end of the party and they came there with that intent, as far as we consider,” Hersi said.

      “But we don’t know exactly what happened.”

      Hersi said the local Somali community is saddened and shocked by the death of another of their own.

      He confirmed the man killed less than 24 hours later in a Rosedale shooting is also a member of the Somali community.

      He said there’s “a disconnect” between the Somali community and Canadian society, and pleaded for the co-operation of other community leaders in coming up with a plan moving forward.

      Ayliffe wouldn’t say if the slain man was known to police, but court records show Ahmed had a rap sheet for drug possession and assault.

  10. CANADA – OTTAWA – New south Nepean mosque welcomes worshippers

    Once fully completed, the facility will have a library, fitness areas and a special room to prepare bodies for funerals.

    It will also have two multi-purpose halls that can each hold 250 people and can be transformed into basketball courts. The spaces will be available for anyone to rent and the mosque’s neighbors will get a discount on them, Khan said.

    […]the organization and mosque provide a much needed service for the area’s growing Muslim population. There are now more than 1 million Muslims in Canada and they have become the fastest growing religious group in the country, according to the 2011 National Household Survey.

    Kahn estimates there are between 80,000 and 100,000 Muslims in Ottawa and around 10,000 in Barrhaven.

    In addition to providing a community for new Muslim immigrants, the community group also works towards integrating them into Canadian society, Kahn said.

    “We are Muslims, but we are part of the Canadian identity as well,” he said. “You can be a good Muslim and a good Canadian citizen, too. Our prophet himself was a migrant from Mecca to Medina.”

  11. Migrants Clash in French Port City Amid Tensions, 7 Injured (abcnews, Jan 3, 2015)
    http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/migrants-clash-french-port-city-amid-tensions-injured-27979850

    “A clash between about 200 migrants trying to get to Britain from the northern French port city of Calais left seven injured early Saturday.

    The fight near a tent camp between migrants from Afghanistan and Eritrea left one with a broken leg. Others suffered superficial wounds, police union official Gilles Debove said.

    Calais is the destination of choice for migrants trying to sneak by truck or ferry across the English Channel. Many reached Europe via Italy.

    The clash grew out of a dispute that erupted during the evening meal serving after someone cut the food line.

    Tensions were high because of tough, winter living conditions and slow truck traffic that diminished chances to sneak to Britain, said Christian Salome of the Auberge des Migrants association, which distributes meals.

    “We know the least thing can spark differences,” Debove said.

    Three clashes erupted between migrant groups in the heat of summer, leaving 51 injured.”

  12. Libya violence: Militants kidnap Coptic Christians in Sirte (BBC, Jan 3, 2015)
    http://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-30666475

    “Masked gunmen in northern Libya have kidnapped 13 Coptic Christian workers from Egypt, just a week after seven others were abducted.

    Eyewitnesses in the city of Sirte said suspected Islamist militants went to a residential compound late at night and asked to see identification papers.

    Christians were then separated from the Muslims before reportedly being handcuffed and kidnapped.

    It is the latest in a series of attacks on Egyptian Christians in Libya.

    One witness said 15 masked gunmen went from room to room in the residential complex at about 02:30 local time (04:30 GMT) on Saturday morning.

    “They had a list of full names of Christians in the building. While checking IDs, Muslims were left aside while Christians were grabbed,” Hanna Aziz told the AP news agency.

    Mr Aziz said he survived because he heard his friends screaming and didn’t open his door. “I am still in my room waiting for them to take me. I want to die with them,”

    All of those taken are believed to be men.

    The incident came just a few days after seven other Coptic Christians from Egypt were reportedly abducted at a fake checkpoint in Sirte as they tried to leave the city.

    There was also an attack on the home of an Egyptian Coptic doctor in Sirte in early December, in which he and his wife were killed. Local reports said the couple’s daughter was also found dead after being abducted.

    Libya is home to a very large community of both Muslim and Coptic Egyptians, with most working in the construction sector.

    The country has been plagued by instability and infighting since the toppling of Colonel Muammar Gaddafi in 2011.

    Rival militias now control most of the country including the two largest cities, Tripoli and Benghazi, and Sirte has become a safe haven for Islamist fighters.”

    http://edition.cnn.com/2014/12/24/world/asia/australia-sydney-terror-arrests/index.html

    “Two Sydney men have been charged with terror offenses, with one accused of possessing documents designed to facilitate a terror attack on Australian soil.

    Sulayman Khalid, 20, from Regent’s Park in western Sydney, appeared in Parramatta Local Court Wednesday, after having been arrested at his home the previous day, police said.

    He was refused bail, and is scheduled to reappear in court on February 18, court staff said.

    The maximum sentence he faces is 15 years, police said.

    A second man, a 21-year-old from the Sydney suburb of Marsfield, was also charged by counter-terrorism police with breaching a control order.

    A person can be subject to a control order if it substantially helps prevent a terrorist attack, or the person has trained with a listed terrorist organization or been convicted of terror offenses, according to the Australian Attorney General Department.

    The charge carries a maximum sentence of two years’ imprisonment…”

  14. Villagers: Boko Haram abducts 40 boys, young men in northeastern Nigeria (CNN, Jan 3, 2015)
    http://edition.cnn.com/2015/01/03/africa/nigeria-boko-haram-kidnapping/index.html

    “The Islamist militant group Boko Haram kidnapped 40 boys and young men — ages 10 to 23 — from a village in the northeastern Nigerian state of Borno, some of those fleeing said Saturday.

    The terrorists arrived in the village of Malari carrying assault rifles and then preached to them about the group’s extremist ideology before forcibly taking 40 hostages and driving toward the Sambisa forest on December 31, villagers who fled to Maiduguri said.

    It took days for information on this mass abduction to emerge due to poor communications stemming from the destruction of cell phone towers in previous Boko Haram attacks.This act, while horrific, is hardly unprecedented. Boko Haram has been blamed for numerous attacks, from assassinations of officials to bombings of crowded markets, in recent years as part of its quest to impose a strict version of Sharia law across Nigeria.

    Mass kidnappings have been part of that campaign…”

  17. FRANCE – METZ – Muslim shouting “Allah is the greatest” tries to strangle French police officer

    The incident in Metz raised fears of “lone wolf” attacks by Islamist terrorists

    A man has tried to strangle a police officer while shouting “Allahu Akbar” (Allah is the greatest), the latest in a spate of attacks in France that have heightened fears of terrorism.

    The latest assault took place in the eastern city of Metz on Friday when a man arrested for bag-snatching asked the officer to bring him a glass of water.

    When the policeman opened his cell door, the 23-year-old lunged at him and tried to throttle him while shouting “Allahu Akbar”.

    Other police officers saw the events on the video surveillance system and rushed to save their colleague, who had been thrown to the ground. His assailant was said to have a history of psychiatric problems.

    “The doctor who treated him (the officer) said that just a few seconds more and it would have been too late,” Michael Philippart of the SGP FO police union told L’Est Républicain, a newspaper.

    • The father of modern taxonomy, Carl Linnaeus, was student, professor and rector at Uppsala University, the oldest in Scandinavia. Since 1164, I read, Uppsala has been the ecclesiastical center of Sweden. It has Scandinavia’s tallest church. Uppsala was the main center for pre-Christian Norse religion before that, where were worshipped Thor, Odin and Freyr. Now these Uppsalans, who don’t know up from down, on the evidence, are falling all over themselves to protect Islamic cuckoos in the nest. Seems a shame.

      • Must be something in the waters of Uppsala – or in the “relevant” ministry – the Minister for Culture not looking like your traditional Swede from not so long ago.

        Not necessarily directly relevant: How did the Swedes behave during Nazi times?

        • I’m not 100% sure Rita, but I think that the Norwegians and Swedes were about the same then as now, meaning they loved the Nazis and hated the Jews. Only the Danes were stand up people back then. Its pretty much the same today. The Danes are the only ones who overall want to protect rational liberalism and the Norwegians and Swedes all want to submit to Islam as fast as they can.

        • From Roland Huntford’s The New Totalitarians (1972):

          To be fair, Norway, Denmark and Sweden are not strictly comparable. All are admittedly Welfare States, and the heartland of Social Democracy. But Norway and Denmark, having suffered Nazi occupation during the last war, learned that principles must sometimes be put above material comfort. The Swedes never learned that lesson. The concept of principle seems not to exist for the Swede: he sees the world in economic terms alone. In the late eighteenth century, when Catholicism and Judaism were prohibited in Sweden, a pamphleteer called Anders Chydenius proposed the admission of Catholics and Jews to the country on strictly utilitarian grounds. Sweden, poor and backward, needed capital and creative talent, and Chydenius suggested that, to remedy the deficiency, rich and clever men ought to be enticed from abroad. Assuming that the most desirable acquisitions would either be French, which meant Catholic, or Jews, he proposed that they ought to be permitted to retain their own forms of worship. His suggestion was accepted and foreigners settling in Sweden were allowed to practise a religion other than that of the State Church. Swedes themselves had to wait a century for the same privilege: Chydenius was interested in political economy, not toleration. By contrast Macaulay, the champion of Catholic and Jewish emancipation in England, was concerned solely for the well-being of his fellow-citizens. When in 1834 he helped to carry the removal of their civil disabilities (religious toleration was already old) in the House of Lords he spurned economics, and argued on moral principles alone.

        • ‘…a thread was woven into Swedish history of capitulation at the first approach of difficulties. “When, in the Second World War, the Swedes allowed German transit traffic to the detriment of their neutrality, when they succumbed to other Nazi demands equally humiliating, and when immediately after the war they forcibly returned Baltic refugees to the Soviet Union in order to avoid Soviet displeasure, it was in a sense the echo of Perevelotchna” [a swift, apparently ignominious 18th-century surrender to the Russians].

          ‘Until the mid 1930s, Nazism had considerable attractions for those who favoured a benevolent and authoritarian state and the Swedes, traditionally subjected to German intellectual domination, were prone to such influences. Nazi thought, often incognito, permeated Swedish life.’

        • And in a footnote:

          ‘* Another aspect of the power of the consensus is that opinion makers, of most political persuasions, are afraid of being branded as ‘reactionary’ when the sanction is that of ‘progressive’. Nobody will risk being so condemned. For that reason, although there are numbers of ‘reactionary’ Swedes, there are hardly any public expressions of ‘reactionary’ opinions. There is nothing, theoretically, to stop the consensus being on the right some time in the future, as it has been in the past. In the nineteen thirties, for example, the Swedish academic world displayed considerable Nazi sympathy, and the manifesto of the trade-union movement possessed traces of Nazi terminology.’

        • thank you Don C, I actually new some of this swedish history, but never strung it together as Roland Huntford’s excerpt has done for me now.
          That really does make sense now.

        • From a review of exceptional book by Henrik Bachner:

          Henrik Bachner is one of the leading authorities on Swedish contemporary anti-Semitism. In his 1999 doctoral dissertation Återkomsten (The Return), he mapped the return of anti-Jewish tropes and prejudices to the public discourse in postwar Sweden. Bachner did not shy away from analyzing anti-Semitic content in the most prestigious publications and anti-Jewish statements made by some of the most influential public figures in the second half of thetwentieth century. Consequently, Henrik Bachner is a man with many vocal enemies in the public sphere in Sweden, especially among the Left that was furious at his exposure of anti-Jewish elements in its ever-intensifying anti-Zionism.

          Read it all:
          http://jcpa.org/article/mikael-tossavainen-on-judefragan-debatt-om-antisemitism-i-1930-talets-sverige/?print=1

      • @ Don C. Fascinating – I’m fast developing an antipathy towards Sweden – I know that Pat Condel has been on their case increasingly, I only rembered being vaguely jealous when my potential French boyfriends drooled over the look of Sweedish girls….well that will dillute soon enough if the Arabs, as promised (by Erdogan?) will “conquer them by the womb of their women”.

        • Taking a cue from Brave New World, Huntford reserves an entire chapter for a discussion of sex in Sweden – ‘The Sexual Branch of Social Engineering.’

          “The word ‘freedom’ is almost entirely confined to the sexual field in Sweden. In every other department of life it has been replaced by the vocabulary of the collective and of restraint. Jargon like ‘interests of the community’, ‘oriented towards society’, ‘social responsibility’, ‘socially well adjusted’, and ‘inculcation of the correct social attitudes’ constantly bombards the public.

          “But in sexual terminology, the words connected with liberty well up like a semantic tidal wave. It is as if there were some deep urge for freedom, repressed elsewhere, and allowed to surface only in this one circumscribed sphere of existence. Indeed, the word ‘freedom’ in Swedish has come to mean almost exclusively sexual freedom, product perhaps of an unadmitted realization that it is absent, or unwanted, elsewhere.”

        • Yes, the blonde looks and “that” sexual freedom was it what made my French comrades drool over Swedish girls. Well, sexually liberated Sweden can kiss “that” little freedom goodbye once their invaders rule the roost.

        • The sexual revolution had the same effect everywhere, it just didn’t last as long in the rest of the world as it did in Sweden.

      • So if “capitulation” is their typical response to “difficulties”, that’s why they kill[ed]* themselves, rather than from despair stemming from licentious behavior.

        • Thanks for the links!

          I should have given more credit to a Quebecois friend’s reaction to an Ingmar Bergman retrospective years ago. After Persona he refused to refused to see any more. No one should make such movies, he insisted, it will lead to people killing themselves.

          I think I would still defend The Seventh Seal and Wild Strawberries, but it’s been a long time. Bergman was a native of Uppsala, I notice.

  19. @ Eeyore. I really must brush up on my history and also, perhaps, on the etymology of “Stockholm Syndrome” which seems to be so apt on several levels.

    Since Belgian chocolates are verboten now in my house, I will enjoy DANISH pastries with renewed abandon 😉

    • If the myth of the creation of the ‘Croissant’ is to be believed, then that should be what everyone eats daily. The legend has it that it was made to celebrate the triumph over the muslim armies at the Gates of Vienna in 1683. That the shape of the pastry was to symbolize Europeans eating the crescent symbol of the tards. A triumph.

      I can’t get to the truth of it as of course so many vested interests want to make sure that we have no symbols of hope etc. So the water is muddy on this. But for the moment lets say its true and enjoy a croissant at every opportunity. I like mine pressed with some ham and cheese inside.

      • I will indulge my croissants with chocolate – LINDT chocolate because LINDT = better quality and not Halal infested.;)

        Talking about myths – I have just tried for an hour to find the post by the excellent David Wood at http://www.answeringmuslims.com
        He once made a brilliant video, informing Tards that they were celebrating the defeat of Mohamed by the Jews (or some Jewish woman who poisoned him) when they shouted some conquering “battle cry” telling the Jews “we are coming” or something like it. Unfortunately I dont remember it in Arabic, which I think was the title of Wood’s video, and I could not find it.

        I shall console myself with some comfort food: a LINDT chocolate filled croissant. Here’s to you 😉

  21. SAUDI ARABIA – Muslim runs over dog 10 times and kills it

    A horrific video of a Muslim running over a dog while another Muslim taking video of the terrible scene has caused a wave of anger among social media and many called authorities to arrest and punish them.

    “Thanks Allah” – was the reaction of many when they heard the news of police identifying the two men and arresting them.

    Police was able to identify the two men from their car number plate.

    In the video, the driver of the car ran over the dog more than ten times and killed it slowly with no mercy. In the end of the video, they smashed the dog completely.

    A Saudi man who saw the video said that such people cannot be humans as they have no humanity. “This act is like a devil. If they can do this to an animal, they can definitely do it to human.” like in Dijon ?

    Another Saudi woman urged authorities to give them death sentence to make all others, who might think of committing such crime, think twice before doing it.
