Before the news links, a muslim who attends an Edmonton muslim school just wrote a comment under a story about how a gay man, who was protesting the teachings at that school about how homosexuals should be treated, had his car attacked. In the comment, he managed to turn it around completely so that the school is the victim. It makes for amusing reading.
Controversial Islamic preacher Anjem Choudary has been charged under the Terrorism Act for ‘inviting support for ISIS’, Scotland Yard has said.
The 48-year-old extremist from Ilford, north east London, has been detained in custody and is due to appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court at 2pm this afternoon.
He has been charged with the same offence alongside another man, Mohammed Rahman, 32, from east London.
Muslim hate preacher Anjem Choudary, pictured arriving at Southwark Police station today to answer bail, has been charged under the Terrorism Act for ‘inviting support for ISIS’, Scotland Yard has said
Metropolitan Police say the pair ‘invited support for a proscribed terrorist organisation, namely ISIL, also known as ISIS or the Islamic State, contrary to section 12 Terrorism Act 2000.’
Two members of staff at a high-security psychiatric hospital were attacked by a pair of Muslim converts after a row over prayers.
The men suffered ‘horrendous’ facial wounds after they were repeatedly stabbed with broken DVDs at Broadmoor Hospital.
It is said to have been sparked after the Muslim patients were told they could not pray in the day and dining rooms.
Police are investigating the attack at Broadmoor. It’s claimed the attackers are ‘British guys, who converted to Islam fairly recently’ and they felt they were being ‘picked on’
A source told The Sun: ‘There was blood everywhere. It was horrendous. The poor blokes’ faces were a mess.
‘They seemed to have life-changing injuries.’
The workers, aged 63 and 64, were taken to hospital after the incident at Crowthorne in West Berkshire and are still receiving treatment.

5. Suspected Boko Haram militants kill eight, kidnap 100 in Cameroon
(Hopefully Cameroon will use this as inertia to continue and scale up their policy of no islamic indoctrination in the nation)
At least eight people were killed and about 100 others were kidnapped by suspected Boko Haram militants in an overnight raid on a village near Cameroon’s northern border, a local government and a military source said.
Tchakarmari, the village targeted early on Tuesday, lies north of Maroua, where dozens of people were killed in a series of suicide bombings by the Nigerian Islamist group last month.
“Residents said the attackers headed back to Nigeria where Cameroon is not allowed to pursue them,” the local government source in the Far North region said.
A senior military officer deployed as part of a Cameroonian military operation aimed at curbing the spillover of violence from Boko Haram’s stronghold in northeastern Nigeria said the attackers had crossed over from Nigeria shortly after midnight.
6. Mullah Mohammad Omar’s Son Assassinated: Report
(Nothing Klingon about this at all)
Kabul: The son of late Taliban leader Mullah Mohammad Omar has reportedly been killed, sections of the Afghan media reported today.
“Mullah Yaqub, the son of Mullah Omar, was killed a couple of days ago,” the Daily Outlook reported quoting lawmaker Zahir Qadir.
Mullah Yaqub, according to Qadir, had attempted to succeed his father to lead Taliban fighters but was mysteriously assassinated by Mullah Akhtar Mohammad Mansoor, who has already been appointed by his supporters to lead the Taliban group
8. Obama: If Congress kills Iran deal, rockets will fall on Tel Aviv
(I wonder who’s)
President warns US Jews that without nuclear pact, America will have to attack Iran — and Israel will bear the brunt of the response
WASHINGTON — If the US Congress shoots down the Iranian nuclear deal, America will eventually be pressured into a military strike against Tehran’s nuclear facilities, which will in turn increase terror against Israel, US President Barack Obama told Jewish leaders Tuesday, a source who was present at the meeting said.

In a bid to convince the US Jewish community to support the deal, Obama and Vice President Joe Biden hosted 20 Jewish leaders from across the political and religious spectrum at the White House’s Cabinet Room, hours after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu urged members of the Jewish Federations of North America in a video address to fight the deal.
9. Tunisia beach massacres ‘linked’ to museum killings
There are “strong” links between June’s Tunisia beach massacre and the killings at the Bardo Museum in the country’s capital in March, British police say.
Metropolitan Police counter-terrorism officers say they are now connecting the two attacks based on evidence.
The Bardo Museum attack saw 22 people killed, while 38 tourists, including 30 British nationals, were killed in the resort of Sousse in June.
Tunisian authorities have arrested 150 people to date over the Sousse attack.
Of those, 15 have been charged with terrorism offences.
(Again, we see the pointlessness of the law and order approach to terrorism. This is a military problem. The rest of the world knew that these attacks are connected by an ideology which has a political ambition. The British police would seem to be the last ones to know as they are looking for evidence that would pass muster on a law and order basis. Soon, they may be too busy defending their police stations from attack to be able to use that much scrutiny.)
Regarding the filthy cockroach Anjem Choudary, I believe this stinking parasite has dual Indian/British citizenship from something I read a few years back. If that were to be the case we ought to be able to remove him (not that he would be welcomed) back to India. His wife also, was not born here and is I believe of Pakistani origin and has dual nationality. As he and his inbred brood are wholly dependant on welfare it would make economic sense to remove all of them, it would cost more if he is put into prison, but if they were all removed the welfare state would make a huge annual saving.
Alternatively. we could bring back the treason act that was abolished by Bliar, and use that to execute the cockroach, a far more permanent solution in ever sense. This could be then rolled out to others of this ilk who in any case are almost all benefit recipients, Maybe an extreme view??
It would be hard to see how your view could be considered extreme when it is the default view of all nations for all of history.
Yes, but we need a government that has the survival of our culture and country at heart, not one cowed by fear of offending Islam.
That is what all western nations need, however there is good news, Saudi is going broke and having to borrow money, in fact one of the financial reporters at the Telegraph says that they will go broke long before the US oil men will have to stop pimping shale oil. This will cause OPEC to break up and once that occurs the petrodollars that are buying the western politicians will dry up. Things could get interesting when this happens.
Saudi Arabia may go broke before the US oil industry buckles
It is too late for OPEC to stop the shale revolution. The cartel faces the prospect of surging US output whenever oil prices rise

Anjem should be let off.
Defence Lawyer: “M’Lud, section 12 of the Terrorist Act specifically states person commits an offence if— (a)he invites support for a proscribed organisation…”
Judge: “Yes”
DL: “But we don’t call the terrorists by what they call themselves. ISIS are not Muslims”
J: “What are they?”
DL: “Non-muslims. And my client is specifically recruiting muslims”
J: “Go on”
DL:”When Machine-gunner Lee Rigby was murdered Prime Minister
TonyDavid Cameron said it had nothing to do with Islam and these incidents are only Lone Wolves”J:”So you are saying the jolly defendant here is solely recruiting muslims for ISIS, but then the very ISIS out there are definitely not real muslims and it’s alway some non-muslims who are making these violent attacks… but moreover…they not even come from ISIS anyway because in each and every case they’ve been found out to be completely and utterly isolated Lone Wolves… So we are fighting a secular ISIS which has nothing to do with this case of supporting a Terrorist non-muslim organization. Dear Mr Choudary, I can see you are a pious and humble man, and I am sorry for your inconvenience and the besmirching of your good character. In your dedicated work I hope you are successful in forging the peaceful nature of muslims and therefore islam into ISIS to spring a positive groundswell of change. This Caliphate has made not on record of attack anywhere in the West, and as to our presence in their foreign country, this court can make no deliberation on such political matters. AsSalam-u-Alaikum, to you sir. You are free to go. Dismissed! “
