    • “Give to God what is God’s and to Ceasar what is Ceasar’s” cannot be accommodated in Islam. allah wants and takes all !

      • Some people want to be slave masters and some slaves Islam accommodates both but those like us who want to be free have to fight.

  1. Gunmen kidnap tourists and local woman in Philippines (BBC, Sep 22, 2015)
    http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-34322053

    “Two Canadians, a Norwegian and a local woman have been kidnapped from a tourist resort in the southern Philippines, the military has said.

    An army spokesman said they were taken by gunmen late on Monday from the Holiday Oceanview resort on Samal Island, near Davao City on Mindanao.

    The attackers, who have not been identified by police, left by boat, Capt Alberto Caber told reporters.

    He said it appeared the four were targeted rather than taken at random.

    Since the 1990s the southern Philippines has seen sporadic incidents of kidnapping by Muslim militant groups, who hold hostages for ransom…”

  2. Egypt ‘demolishes thousands of homes’ for Sinai buffer zone (BBC, Sep 22, 2015)
    http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-34317654

    “Egypt has evicted and demolished the homes of 3,200 families in the Sinai peninsula in violation of international law, Human Rights Watch says.

    The military has been razing homes along the border with the Gaza Strip to create a “buffer zone” and eliminate smuggling tunnels.

    The demolitions began in 2013 after a surge in attacks by jihadist militants.

    But those evicted are given little or no warning, no temporary housing and inadequate compensation, HRW alleges.

    The US-based group also questions why the military appears not to have used available technology to detect and destroy the smuggling tunnels.

    The Egyptian authorities have not commented on the report….”

  3. Report: 13 Turkish Soldiers Wounded in Bomb Attack (BBC, Sep 22, 2015)
    http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/report-13-turkish-soldiers-wounded-bomb-attack-33938388

    “Turkey’s state-run news agency says 13 soldiers have been wounded by a bomb attack in the eastern province of Van.

    The Anadolu Agency reported Tuesday that the improvised bomb was remotely detonated by rebels from the Kurdistan Workers’ Party, or PKK, as a military convoy was driving down the highway late Monday.

    The attack follows airstrikes which the Turkish military says killed five Kurdish rebels in the neighboring province of Hakkari.

    Violence between the PKK and Turkey’s military reignited this summer after the collapse of peace talks between the two sides.”

    http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/taliban-leader-releases-message-major-muslim-holiday-33937060

    “An Afghan official says at least 10 Afghan army troops have been killed in what he described as an “insider attack” in the country’s north after a fellow soldier allowed insurgents inside a check point.

    Deputy provincial police chief in northern Zawzjan province, Abdul Hafiz Khashi, says the attack happened before dawn on Tuesday in Qush Tepa district.

    He identified the soldier with links to the militants as Mohammad Alim.

    Khashi says Alim and an unspecified number of attackers were all killed in an ensuing shootout with Afghan troops.

    No group immediately claimed responsibility for the attack. These so-called insider attacks, carried out by an Afghan soldier or policeman turning on fellow troops, have been a serious problem in recent years…”

    “Two Saudi soldiers fighting with the Arab coalition in Yemen have been detained by Houthi rebels, coalition spokesman Ahmed Asseri said.

    “They are detainees and not hostages,” Asseri said. “They lost their way inside Yemeni territory.”

    The spokesman did not say when or where inside Yemen the incident took place.

    “Deep in a tranquil Dutch forest a transformation is taking place, as the Netherlands scrambles to set up camp for thousands of migrants who will start arriving this week.

    Between Wednesday and Friday the first of 3,000 desperate asylum-seekers are expected to stream through the gates at Heumensoord outside the eastern Dutch city of Nijmegen on the border with Germany.

    Since late last week, teams of soldiers and private contractors have been working furiously to erect the first marquee tents on the grounds, roughly the size of 10 football fields, as lowbed trucks rumbled in and out to the sounds of drills and jackhammers.

    The site is an obvious choice: in the summer some 5,000 soldiers camp here to take part in Europe’s largest walk, the Nijmegen Four Day Marches, and infrastructure such as water and power already exists.

    In the 1990s it was used twice to welcome hundreds of refugees fleeing the wars that followed the break-up of the former Yugoslavia…”

  7. German police conduct raids in Berlin’s Islamist scene (DW, Sep 22, 2015)
    http://www.dw.com/en/german-police-conduct-raids-in-berlins-islamist-scene/a-18728663

    “In a statement, police said eight raids had been carried out early on Tuesday morning, including one on an association attached to a mosque in the central Tempelhof-Schöneberg district of the German capital.

    Among others, the raids had targeted a 51-year-old Moroccan who is suspected of inciting people to go and fight for the jihadist group “Islamic State” (“IS”) in Syria, the statement said, adding that a 19-year-old Macedonian thought to be currently in Syria was also suspected of recruiting for the group.

    “IS” has captured large tracts of land in both Syria and Iraq over the past months during a brutal and bloody campaign to establish a “caliphate” based on its version of Islamic law in the Middle East.

    Police said there was no indication that the suspects had planned attacks in Germany, and that there was also no connection with an incident last week in Berlin, where an Islamist was shot dead after stabbing a policewoman with a knife.

    German intelligence estimates that more than 600 Germans have traveled to Syria and Iraq to fight alongside jihadist groups.”

    http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-34322125

    “The new leader of the Afghan Taliban, Mullah Akhtar Mansour, has hinted he is open to peace talks with the government if foreign troops are expelled and a security deal with the US is scrapped. In a message released ahead of the Eid festival, Mullah Mansour also urged the Taliban to stay united. His predecessor, Taliban founder Mullah Omar, died in 2013 but his death was only confirmed in July this year.

    Mullah Mansour’s swift appointment had sparked divisions within the Taliban. His remarks came as officials said Taliban militants had killed 10 Afghan soldiers after gaining entry to their army post with the help of a collaborator. The killings, in the northern province of Jawzjan, are the latest in a series of so-called insider-attacks against government forces…”

  10. Russia starts Syria drone surveillance missions: U.S. officials

    http://news.yahoo.com/exclusive-russia-starts-drone-surveillance-missions-syria-u-130705583.html

    WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Russia has started flying drone aircraft on surveillance missions in Syria, U.S. officials said on Monday, in what appeared to be Moscow’s first military air operations there since staging a rapid buildup at a Syrian air base.

    The beginning of Russian drone flights underscored the risks of U.S.-led coalition planes and Russian aircraft operating within Syria’s limited airspace, without agreeing on coordination or objectives in Syria’s civil war.

    The former Cold War foes have a common adversary in Islamic State militants in Syria. But Washington opposes Moscow’s support for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, seeing him as a driving force in the four-and-a-half year-long civil war.

  11. Russia urges ‘action’ after shell hits Damascus embassy compound

    http://news.yahoo.com/russia-calls-action-shell-hits-damascus-embassy-compound-154747119.html

    Moscow (AFP) – Russia’s foreign ministry on Monday called for “concrete action” after a shell landed on its embassy compound in the Syrian capital, blaming forces battling Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

    “A shell fell on the territory of the Russian embassy in Damascus on September 20 around 9:00am, going deep into the ground without causing damage,” the ministry said in a statement.

    “We … condemn the criminal shelling of the Russian diplomatic presence in Damascus. We await a clear standpoint on this terrorist act from all members of the international community, including regional actors.”

    “What is needed is not just words but concrete action,” the statement said, adding that “the shelling of the Russian embassy was done from the direction of Jobar, where the anti-government militants are based.”

  12. Russia deploys 28 combat planes in Syria: US officials

    http://news.yahoo.com/russia-deployed-28-combat-aircraft-syria-us-officials-173419582.html

    Washington (AFP) – Russia has deployed 28 combat planes in Syria, US officials said Monday, confirming the latest move in Moscow’s increasing military presence in the war-torn nation.

    Washington in recent weeks has expressed growing concern over Russia’s moves to support Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and warned that militarily backing his regime risks further hampering efforts at bringing peace.

  13. Russia, Iran Seen Coordinating on Defense of Assad Regime in Syria
    U.S., regional officials say military buildup in coastal base aimed at safeguarding regime’s stronghold

    Russia and Iran have stepped up coordination inside Syria as they move to safeguard President Bashar al-Assad’s control over his coastal stronghold, according to officials in the U.S. and Middle East, creating a new complication for Washington’s diplomatic goals.

    Senior Russian and Iranian diplomats, generals and strategists have held a string of high-level talks in Moscow in recent months to discuss Mr. Assad’s defense and the Kremlin’s military buildup in Syria, according to these officials.

    The buildup is continuing: On Monday, U.S. defense officials said Russian surveillance drones have started flying missions over Syria, and Moscow has sent two dozen more fighter jets to Syria.

  14. Chinese Jet in Second Near-Collision with U.S. Spy Plane
    PLA jet flies close to nose of RC-135 over East China Sea

    http://freebeacon.com/national-security/chinese-jet-in-second-near-collision-with-u-s-spy-plane/

    A Chinese interceptor jet conducted a second dangerous pass near a U.S. surveillance aircraft over Asian waters—weeks before a state visit to the United States by Chinese leader Xi Jinping that begins Tuesday.

    The latest incident took place over the East China Sea near Japan’s Senkaku Islands when a Chinese interceptor flew in front of an RC-135 electronic intelligence-gathering

    It was the second time a Chinese aircraft nearly collided with a U.S. surveillance jet. The last incident took place in August 2014 over the nearby South China Sea.

    Pentagon and U.S. Pacific Command spokesmen declined to provide details of the latest encounter but did not dispute that it took place.

    “I have nothing for you regarding the incident you mention,” said Cmdr. Bill Urban, a Pentagon spokesman.

    The latest U.S.-China aerial confrontation was mentioned indirectly by Adm. Harry Harris, commander of the U.S. Pacific Command, during Senate Armed Services Committee testimony last week.

  15. Israel Authorizes Use of Snipers Against Rioters Posing Lethal Threat

    http://freebeacon.com/national-security/israel-authorizes-use-of-snipers-against-rioters-posing-lethal-threat/

    JERUSALEM—Fine-tuning their response to the worst outbreak of violence in years in Jerusalem, Israeli authorities have authorized the use of snipers against rioters posing lethal threats and have reportedly limited the number of Jewish visitors to the Temple Mount, the current focus of the Arab unrest.

    According to security officials, there have been more than 5,000 incidents of rock throwing so far this year in the city, the great bulk of them involving Arab youths targeting Israeli cars in East Jerusalem and Israeli homes bordering Arab neighborhoods. There have also been several hundred incidents involving firebombs thrown at vehicles and homes.

    Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared last week that harsh steps would be taken to deal with the problem.

  16. Russian Spy Ship Makes Port Call in Caribbean

    http://freebeacon.com/national-security/russian-spy-ship-makes-port-call-in-caribbean/

    A Russian military ship tracked by U.S. intelligence assets over the past two months as it sailed the western Atlantic arrived at a Caribbean port this week.

    The research ship Yantar on Sunday sailed into the port of Willemstad, capital of the Caribbean island of Curacao, after transiting international waters off the southeastern United States. Maritime tracking data showed that it was near Aruba several days ago.

    The ship was spotted by naval vessel watchers as it entered the port, where it is expected to take on supplies.

    Pentagon officials have said the vessel was tracked from the north Atlantic on Aug. 24 as it sailed south through international waters along the U.S. east coast.

  17. Iran took samples for IAEA at suspect military site

    http://news.yahoo.com/iran-hands-iaea-samples-suspect-military-005156026.html

    Tehran (AFP) – Iran said Monday it independently collected samples at a suspect military site where illicit nuclear work is alleged to have occurred and later handed them to the UN’s absent inspectors.

    The disclosure that international monitors were not physically present is likely to feed critics of a nuclear deal between Iran and world powers, who have poured scorn on measures used to check if Tehran’s atomic programme is peaceful.

    In a mark of the high stakes at play it drew a quick reaction from the UN’s International Atomic Energy Agency, whose chief insisted that “the integrity of the sampling process and the authenticity of the samples” was not compromised.

  18. German intelligence ‘concerned’ Islamists recruiting refugees

    http://news.yahoo.com/german-intelligence-concerned-islamists-recruiting-refugees-102046365.html

    Berlin (AFP) – German intelligence warned Tuesday that the number of Islamic extremists in the country had increased sharply in recent months and expressed serious concern that they were recruiting among refugees.

    The Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV), Germany’s domestic security watchdog, said the number of radical Salafists had surged to 7,900 in September from 7,500 in June, and that many were trying to lure asylum-seekers into their ranks.

    “We are very concerned that Islamists in Germany are trying, under the cover of humanitarian assistance, to exploit the situation of the refugees for their own ends and to proselytise and recruit among asylum-seekers,” BfV president Hans-Georg Maassen said in a statement.

  19. Raids in Berlin over suspected recruitment for IS: police

    http://news.yahoo.com/raids-berlin-over-suspected-recruitment-police-060918774.html

    Berlin (AFP) – German police carried out dawn raids in Berlin Tuesday targeting individuals suspected of inciting people to go and fight for the Islamic State group in Syria.

    The raids began at 6:30 am (0430 GMT) and targeted, among others, a 51-year-old Moroccan suspected of recruiting for the jihadists, police said in a statement.

    A 19-year-old Macedonian thought to be currently in Syria is also suspected of involvement in the recruitment drive, it said.

    “We are looking for evidence to see whether these allegations are true,” a police spokesman said. No arrests were made.

  20. Tsipras to back Greek bailout with Tsakalotos as finance minister

    http://www.oann.com/tsipras-to-back-greek-bailout-with-tsakalotos-as-finance-minister/

    ATHENS (Reuters) – Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras will reappoint Euclid Tsakalotos as finance minister, a senior source in his leftist Syriza party said on Tuesday, to offer continuity in bailout talks with international lenders.

    Tsakalotos, a low-key Oxford-trained Marxist economist, helped steer bailout discussions with Greece’s creditors that produced an 86 billion euro loan accord with Athens in August.

    George Chouliarakis, who was finance minister in the caretaker government during the election campaign and also a respected member of the bailout negotiation team, was ‘very likely’ to be appointed deputy finance minister, the source said.

    Generally considered safe pairs of hands, the appointments if confirmed will come ahead of a review by lenders starting next month on progress in meeting bailout targets, recapitalizing the country’s banks and holding discussions that Greece wants on debt relief.

  22. Yemeni president returns to Aden after six-month exile

    http://www.oann.com/saudi-led-air-strike-kills-20-in-yemen-medics-and-local-officials-say/

    ADEN, Yemen (Reuters) – Yemeni President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi landed in Yemen’s Aden on Tuesday, airport sources said, returning to the southern port city for the first time since he escaped to Saudi Arabia as Houthi fighters closed in six months ago.

    His return is the most concrete sign yet that a military coalition led by Saudi Arabia has secured enough territory from the Iran-allied Houthi militia for the exiled government to resume administering at least part of the country.

    A government source said Hadi would spend the Muslim Eid al-Adha holiday in the city then fly to New York to deliver a speech at the United Nations.

    Hadi was greeted by Prime Minister Khaled Bahah and several ministers who had returned to Aden last week to help set up an interim administration.

  23. Ukraine presses NATO chief for defensive weapons

    http://www.oann.com/category/world/

    KIEV (Reuters) – Ukraine pressed NATO on Tuesday for Western weaponry to help defend itself against pro-Russian separatists but the head of the alliance resisted for fear of threatening a fragile ceasefire with Russian-backed rebels.

    In Kiev’s imposing Soviet-era government buildings, Ukraine’s political leadership told NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg that their armed forces were no match for Russia, and needed help.

    “Our heroes, our warriors belong to an army that was neglected for decades…they face aggression and need defensive weaponry,” the speaker of the parliament, Volodymyr Groysman, told Stoltenberg making his first visit to Ukraine as head of NATO, 18 months after Russia seized Ukraine’s Crimean peninsula.

    Prime Minister Arseny Yatseniuk, sitting alongside Stoltenberg at a national security council meeting, was equally blunt in depicting a threat from Russia which, however, denies it has provided weapons to the rebels in the east.

  24. To quote Winston Churchill, he had a choice between war and dishonor, he choose dishonor and he will get war.

    Europe has sold out Ukraine and given Russia a green light to retake all of the breakaway republics and probably a lot more. Putin is taking advantage of Obama’s planned destruction of the US military to move towards the single super power position. War is sure to follow.

  25. Marine Le Pen to face trial for inciting racial hatred

    Marine Le Pen, the leader of France’s far-right National Front, has been ordered to stand trial in October on charges of inciting racial hatred after comparing Muslim street prayers to the Nazi occupation, legal sources said Tuesday.

    Le Pen made the comparison in December 2010 while campaigning for the presidency of her party, and a judicial enquiry was opened into the matter in 2012.

    Le Pen to face trial for Muslim prayers rant

    Marine Le Pen, the leader of France’s far-right National Front, has been ordered to stand trial in October on charges of inciting racial hatred after comparing Muslim street prayers to the Nazi occupation, legal sources said Tuesday.

    Le Pen made the comparison in December 2010 while campaigning for the presidency of her party, and a judicial enquiry was opened into the matter in 2012.

    In the speech she denounced the holding of Muslim prayers in the streets of France – where a dearth of mosques had forced many to pray outside – saying: “For those who like to talk about World War II, to talk about occupation, we could talk about, for once, the occupation of our territory.”

    “It is an occupation of part of the territory, suburbs where religious law is applied. Sure, there are no armoured vehicles, no soldiers, but it is an occupation nonetheless and it weighs on residents.”

    The move to put her on trial comes after the the European Parliament has stripped National Front leader of her immunity as a lawmaker In July 2013.

    That decision left her open to face prosecution in France.

    The populist far-right leader, who was first elected to the European Parliament in 2004, has said that the move by the EU was an attempt to “intimidate” her because she was “a dissident” and she invoked her right to freedom of expression.

    “I will now defend myself in court and I am absolutely convinced that it will rule in my favour and defend my right to tell the French the truth about the situation,” she said at the time.

    Le Pen believes her views are shared by “a majority of French people” and that the lawmakers’ vote “will bring to the fore the issue of daily violations against secularism in France”.

    Tuesday’s announcement will be a blow to the party just as it was hoping to build up momentum ahead of the regional elections in December and the presidential election in 2017, in which Le Pen is expected to perform strongly.

    Some political analysts doubt however that putting Marine Le Pen on trial is the right move.

    “She will no doubt try to turn this to her advantage and make herself out to be the victim of some kind of plot between the mainstream parties, who have had her right to free speech taken away from her,” French far-right specialist Jean-yves Camus told The Local.

    “If they really wanted to deal with Marine Le Pen it would have been much wiser for the mainstream political parties to just concentrate on themselves and on what they say. For example, the more the centre-right party talks about Islam the more they give legitimacy to the National Front.”

    But anti-racism campaigners say whether or not Le Pen’s enjoy’s the publicity, the right thing to do is put up before a judge.

    “What Marine Le Pen said was disgraceful. When we take people to court as an organization we always ask ourselves: ‘Is this person going to get publicity out of it and will they benefit?’, but you cannot decide on these grounds,” Philippe Schmidt from the International League against Racism and anti-Semitism (LICRA) told The Local.

    “If the person simply has to be prosecuted for what they’ve said, then that’s the most important factor to consider, especially if it’s the state that is prosecuting. The most important thing to consider is not whether she will be able to claim she is a victim but simply whether what she said was illegal.”

  26. Agree on referendum or face unilateral split: Catalonia to Spain

    http://www.oann.com/agree-on-referendum-or-face-unilateral-split-catalonia-to-spain/

    BARCELONA (Reuters) – The head of Catalonia’s regional government says a unilateral split from Spain is unstoppable unless the central government agrees to call a binding referendum on independence.

    Artur Mas threw down the gauntlet to Madrid less than a week before a local election which Catalan separatists have billed as a proxy vote on secession.

    Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy has repeatedly ruled out a breakaway by the wealthy northeastern region and opposed any attempt to hold a referendum.

    Mas did not expect matters to change after a national election due in December as not only the ruling People’s Party (PP) but also the opposition Socialists and the smaller Ciudadanos party oppose such a possibility.

    “I am very skeptical that a new Spanish government could offer a deal to Catalonia on holding a referendum,” Mas said in an interview with Reuters at the 16th Century Palau de la Generalitat regional headquarters.

    This is why suicide bombing is necessary. Your average terrorist can’t be trusted to get something complicated like throwing a grenade right.

    Not quite making it into the category of suicide bomber, a Muslim terrorist was killed when the grenade he was about the throw blew up on him.

    On Monday evening, around 11:30 PM, Muslims set up an ambush on the road connecting Negohot and Adorayim in the southern Mount Hebron area, according to a Tazpit report.

    The Muslims piled up rocks onto the road hoping an Israeli driver would crash into them, at which point they would apparently attack the driver directly.

    An Israeli driver from Negohot saw the pile of rocks just in time, and managed to swerve around them. He then called in the army.

  31. Leftist Reasoning: Idiotic or Dishonest?

    http://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/260202/leftist-reasoning-idiotic-or-dishonest-walter-williams

    Many people argue that liberals, socialists and progressives do not understand basic economics. I am not totally convinced about that.

    Take the law of demand, for example, one of the fundamental principles of economics. It holds that the lower the cost of something the more people will take or do of it. Conversely, the higher the cost the less people will take or do something. By their actions, liberals fully understand the law of demand. Let’s look at some proof.

    The Seattle City Council voted unanimously to establish a tax on gun and ammunition sales. Hillary Clinton has called for a 25 percent tax on gun sales. In Chicago, Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle proposed “violence taxes” on bullets to discourage criminals from buying guns. Let’s ignore the merit of these measures. They do show that gun grabbers acknowledge the law of demand. They want fewer gun sales and thus propose raising the cost of guns.

  33. RUSSIA – Chechen lawmaker proposes legal immunity for holy books

    After a court in Russia’s Far East found allegedly extremist statements in a Muslim religious book, an MP from Chechnya is drafting a bill that would prevent courts from recognizing any holy book of any religion as extremist material.

    “I have a principle position on this subject: it is necessary to completely exclude the possibility of court processes over holy scriptures, once and for all. We all know that there are values that are beyond time, that have existed before us and will live after we are gone. Holy scriptures of world religions followed by billions of people also fall into the category of such values,” State Duma MP Shamsail Saraliyev (United Russia) told Izvestia daily.

    “These texts have many centuries of history and recognizing them as extremist is completely absurd,” he added.

    He referred to the scandal that erupted in early September after a court in the Far Eastern region of Sakhalin fulfilled local prosecutors’ request to recognize as extremist the Koranic commentary ‘Prayer to God’. The judge pointed out that the quotes from Koran stating the supremacy of Allah and banning the worship of any other deities could be viewed as extremist.

    The court ruling was immediately met with sharp criticism from Muslim clergy and also from some representatives of the Russian Orthodox Church. The head of the Chechen Republic, Ramzan Kadyrov, known for his strong Muslim faith, publicly protested against the decision and also filed in a legal appeal against it.

    The wide response prompted a dedicated session of the State Duma Committee for Religious Communities and Public Organizations that took place on September 15. During this meeting some lawmakers and experts suggested that holy texts of various religions should be exempt from the Law on Extremism and that all legal controversies concerning the religious sphere should only be resolved by the Supreme Court.

    In addition, Saraliyev told reporters that all participants of the committee session, including representatives of major religions, denounced the ruling of the Sakhalin court and “unanimously decided that such actions on the part of the Russian court system were incorrect and lacked perspective as they evidently sought to promote hatred towards Islam, instigate ethnic strife and undermine stability in the Russian state.”

    A key Russian Muslim cleric – first deputy head of the Council of Muftis Rushan Abbasov said Saraliyev’s bill was in line with the position of all Russian followers of Islam who had earlier unanimously called to introduce complete legal immunity for all holy books. Abbasov added that in his view the Sakhalin court had taken the Koran quotes out of context and by using this method anyone could find extremism in any holy text.

    Representatives of the Russian Orthodox Church have also backed the draft. The head of the Holy Synod’s department for relations between the Church and the Community, Vsevolod Chaplin, said in a radio interview that the “initiative was worthy of discussion” and suggested that the law introduces a minimum age of 200 or 300 years after which holy texts should be considered immune from probes on extremism.

  34. Report: U.S.-Trained, ‘Vetted Moderate’ Syrian Rebel Leader Defects to Al-Qaeda, Turns Weapons Over to Terror Group

    http://pjmedia.com/tatler/2015/09/22/report-u-s-trained-vetted-moderate-syrian-rebel-leader-defects-to-al-qaeda-turns-weapons-over-to-terror-group/

    Reports since yesterday indicate that a U.S.-trained Syrian rebel leader has deceived his American handlers and has defected to Jabhat al-Nusra — the official al-Qaeda affiliate in Syria.

    This report comes just days after a senior U.S. military commander told Congress that only 4 to 5 U.S.-trained Syrian fighters are effectively engaged against ISIS as a result of a $500 million program pushed through by GOP congressional leadership a year ago. Since July 2014, I have repeatedly covered the frequent defections of “vetted moderate” Syrian rebel groups to al-Qaeda and ISIS here at PJ Media.

    Late yesterday, the reports that Atareb rebel commander Anas Obaid had defected to Jabhat al-Nusra and turned over his weapons began to emerge:

  35. Iran Increases Funding to Hezbollah, Hamas With Support From Nuclear Deal

    Since the [nuclear] deal was signed, Iran has significantly increased its financial support for two of the largest terror groups in the region that have become political players, Hamas and Hezbollah. In the years before the deal was signed, the crippling sanctions limited this support, which had significantly diminished along with Iran’s economy. But Tehran’s belief that tens, or hundreds, of billions of dollars will flow into the country in the coming years as a result of sanctions relief has led to a decision to boost the cash flow to these terror organizations.

    This support, for example, has enabled Hezbollah to obtain highly developed new armaments, including advanced technologies that many militaries around the world would envy. Al-Rai, a Kuwaiti newspaper, reported Saturday that Hezbollah has received all the advanced weaponry that Syria has obtained from the Russians. The report cited a security source involved in the fighting in Zabadani, on the Syria-Lebanon border, where Hezbollah is fighting the al-Nusra Front, the Islamic State, and other groups. It is evidently the growing Iranian financial support that is enabling the Lebanese Shiite militia to purchase advanced weapons, including ones that were hitherto outside of its reach.

  36. THE TELEGRAPH – Hungary’s embassy to London flooded with calls from Britons supporting tough stance on migrants

    Embassy reveals that it receives 300 emails and calls per day – 70 per cent in favour of decision to fence off Hungary’s borders

    Britons have been jamming the switchboard of Hungary’s embassy to London with messages of support for Budapest’s controversial stance on the migrant crisis, the mission’s staff disclosed on Tuesday.

    In a briefing designed to defend Hungary’s decision to fence off its borders to migrants trying to reach Europe, the country’s diplomats disclosed that the embassy in Belgravia was now receiving up to 300 phone calls, emails and letters every day on the matter.

    While around 30 per cent were comments such as “you are heartless scum”, the rest described Hungary’s actions as “God’s gift to Europe”, officials claimed.

    The comments, which offer a snapshot of British attitudes on the migrant question, were revealed by the embassy in the wake of strong criticisms levelled at Hungary over the hardline approach of Viktor Orban, the country’s Right-wing prime minister.

    Mr Orban has said that the influx of mainly Muslim migrants from the likes of Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan could end up running into the millions, threatening Europe’s identity as a Christian nation.

    Hungarian police, meanwhile, have been castigated for using tear gas and water cannon on migrants as they have tried to stop them crossing into Hungarian territory, large parts of which are now guarded by a hastily-built border fence.

    • UK – The first of 20,000 Syrian refugees to be taken in by the UK have arrived in the country, the Home Office has said.

      The government has not provided details of the exact number or where in the UK they are being resettled.

      The refugees will receive housing, access to medical care and education, and they can work from day one, under the UK’s resettlement scheme.

      Prime Minister David Cameron has said they will come from refugee camps in countries neighbouring Syria.

      He has said the UK would take the most vulnerable, including disabled children, women who had been raped and men who had been tortured.

      Those being resettled are being selected by the UN on the basis of need.

      Huge influx

      Under the government’s Vulnerable Persons Resettlement scheme, the refugees will be granted five years’ humanitarian protection which includes access to public funds, the labour market and the possibility of family reunion, if a person was split up from their partner or child when leaving their country.

      After those five years they can apply to settle in the UK.

      Mr Cameron said the scheme would be funded for the first 12 months by the government.

      The UK has agreed to accept 20,000 Syrians, displaced by the country’s war, by 2020.

      Britain has been under pressure to take in more people as Europe struggles to deal with a huge influx of refugees – most fleeing conflict in Syria but large numbers also fleeing violence and poverty in Afghanistan, Eritrea and Kosovo.

  37. Pakistan: ISIS Plans Terrorist Campaign against Christians

    http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/6551/pakistan-isis-christians

    The wave of anti-Christian attacks will allegedly include Pakistan’s Christian churches, schools, and hospitals.

    Few Pakistanis will shed a tear for people who do not, in their eyes, represent Pakistan’s Islamic values.

    The Pakistani government and military have warned the nation’s tiny Christian minority that Islamic terrorist groups plan to target Christian religious institutions in the near future. The wave of anti-Christian attacks will allegedly include Pakistan’s Christian churches, schools, and hospitals.

    The warning issued by Pakistan’s leading generals represents an extraordinary, positive development in the military’s relationship with minorities in general and with Christians in particular. Their warming relationship appears to be a calculated political move to complement the military leadership’s ongoing offensive against the terrorist havens in the northwestern corner of the country.

    Emissaries of the most powerful Pakistani generals and the Ministry of Interior have apparently personally warned Christian clerics that the assault will first be launched in the country’s northwest region of Khyber Paktunkhwa.[1] This region abuts the Pushtun-dominated provinces of Afghanistan where Pakistan’s Tehrik-e-Taliban is a potent force.
