ISIS Claims Responsibility for Killing of French Police Officer

Officials: French Police Commander Slain by Jihadi Recruiter (abcnews, June 14, 2016)
http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/hollande-convenes-emergency-meeting-police-killed-39836570
“A Frenchman once convicted of recruiting jihadi fighters stabbed a police commander to death outside his suburban Paris home, recording the attack and posting it on Facebook Live, French officials said Tuesday. The commander’s partner and the attacker were found dead inside the home after a three-hour standoff with police.
The couple’s 3-year-old was in the house in Magnanville, about 35 miles (55 kilometers) west of Paris, but was unharmed. A police official said that at one point in the video the attacker puzzled over what to do with the child.
The Islamic State’s Amaq news agency cited an unnamed source as saying an IS fighter carried out the attack late Monday. While the extremist group has not officially claimed responsibility, French President Francois Hollande said it was “incontestably a terrorist act” and that France faces a threat “of a very large scale.”
Two people close to the attacker, identified as 25-year-old Larossi Abbala, were detained, authorities said Tuesday. They gave no details about them.
France has been on particularly high alert as it hosts Europe’s top sporting event, the monthlong European Championship soccer tournament, and is still under a state of emergency after the November IS attacks in Paris that killed 130 people.
Hollande held an emergency security meeting Tuesday…”
A Turkish professor sparked a furore in Turkey Monday by branding people who don’t pray as “animals”, on a state television programme celebrating the holy Muslim fasting month of Ramadan.
“Let me put it straight, the verse of the Koran says… animals do not perform prayers and those who do not perform prayers are animals,” Mustafa Askar said during the show aired on the state-run TRT television over the weekend.
Askar said human beings are the only creatures whose foreheads incline to allow the prostration of prayer.

I dread it like poison every year.
This is probably adding fuel to the fire.
Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Pride Month (LGBT Pride Month) is currently celebrated each year in the month of June to honor the 1969 Stonewall riots in Manhattan. The Stonewall riots were a tipping point for the Gay Liberation Movement in the United States. In the United States the last Sunday in June was initially celebrated as “Gay Pride Day,” but the actual day was flexible. In major cities across the nation the “day” soon grew to encompass a month-long series of events. Today, celebrations include pride parades, picnics, parties, workshops, symposia and concerts, and LGBT Pride Month events attract millions of participants around the world. Memorials are held during this month for those members of the community who have been lost to hate crimes or HIV/AIDS. The purpose of the commemorative month is to recognize the impact that lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender individuals have had on history locally, nationally, and internationally.

recognize the impact?
Yeah: disease, perversion, confusion. A stunted generation of offspring and possible demographic catastrophe.
Plus: Introduction of another species of feral animal who will attempt to extinguish the human spirit for another couple thousand years.

Paris policeman and wife killed in possible Isis-linked terror attack
Officer stabbed to death outside home in Manganville by man who shouted slogans, then held the victim’s wife and a boy aged three inside the house

Europe has been hard hit by Islamist attacks in France and Belgium, but there is also concern about radicalization on the continent itself. Among hotspots where young people have been found to gravitate towards extremism are majority Muslim nations in the Western Balkans.
Many paths lead people to Islamic radicalization. And while factors vary from country to country and from person to person, some commonalities can be found in the Western Balkan countries, such as Albania, Bosnia, Kosovo and Macedonia.
Factors ranging from vulnerable institutions and lack of opportunities to outside money and influence have been found among the underlying causes of radicalization in the region.
Adrian Shtuni, an expert on the phenomenon of radicalization in the Western Balkans, says the high number of fighters from that region going to Syria and Iraq is concerning.
“There are a lot of individuals that travel or are radicalized by their own peers. So they are radicalized by their own friends, their siblings, by their brothers and so on and so forth,” Shtuni says.

We – NATO, et al. – gave Europe the gift of a Muslim country in the heartland.
Thanks a lot.
The last war always plants the seeds for the next one, we invited Turkey into NATO to have bases on Russia’s southern flank. At the time we did this Turkey was a secular nation kept that way by the Turkish Army who held a coup if the government started going Islamist. Then the left got control of Europe and started screaming about the Turkish Army taking control are semi regular intervals. Eventually they started to put sanctions on Turkey if the Army didn’t stop interfering with the government. This led to the current Islamic government in Turkey.
With a weakened immune system, the Turk’s dormant Islam flared up and there’s your mess.
That it is, one of two things happened,
1) the left recognized what would happened and welcomed it
2) the left was naive and never thought an Islamic government would arise in Turkey.
Take your pick on which is the correct scenario.
Both plausible.
Cleric who preached death for homosexual acts and toured Orlando visits Sydney

Please, do not get me wrong: i do believe, to the depths if my soul, that he should have the right to say exactly what he believes – and why.
By the same coin, I insist that opposing his ideology is not ‘hate speech’ and ought to be protected just as vigorously as the right of these people to express their truly held beliefs – with no regard to what some might to deem ‘hate speech’.
If both sides are free to express their ideas and theories/hypothesies, it only adds to free debate – something ALL of us should support!!!
Yes he should be able to say what he wants and then get beaten to death by peaceful gay folks.

Liberal progressive values meet Muslim terror
Israel is a case in point. Palestinian terror conflicts with Israeli liberal progressive values as well of those of the rest of the West.
When Israel displays so-called “liberal progressive values” to people intent on attacking our state and killing Jews the direct and immediate result is Palestinian Arab terror and the murder of Israelis.
When the Israeli government lifted restrictions on Palestinians as a gesture during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan Palestinian Arabs, particularly those belonging to Hamas, exploited the gesture by disguising themselves, arming themselves, traveling into the heart of Tel Aviv, perhaps the most liberal progressive city in Israel, to kill and injure Israelis, including many who have supported their cause.
When the terrorists entered the busy Sarona entertainment center they entered the soft underbelly of Israel and mingled with the part of Israeli society who have bought into the notion that Israel should not “occupy” the Palestinians, that it is wrong to “oppress” them. In other words, they have adopted the language of the Palestinians without understanding that, by living in Israel, according to the killers and those who motivated them, they are illegally occupying Palestine, even if they live in Tel Aviv.
These Israelis, including Ron Huldai, the mayor of Tel Aviv, think that the terror outrage was a result of “Israeli occupation.” They have blinded themselves to the fact that both side of the Palestinian Arab political divide look on Israel as “Palestinian occupied territory.”

That mayor needs to be sent straight to Gaza.
Progressive Jewtards dispel the notion that Jews are generally clever.
Yeah, but they don’t have babies.
They breed themselves extinct. A repeating pattern for a few thousand years.

In Britain, anti-Semitism endures
In a conversation with a supposedly “moderate” British Muslim leader, Sacks asked, “Does Israel have a right to exist within any borders whatever?” The leader replied: “Your own prophets said that because of your sins you have forfeited your right to your land.” To which Sacks responded mildly: “But that was 2,700 years ago and surely the Jews have served their sentence.”
After World War II, Western nations strove to develop what Sacks calls “a cultural immune system” against anti-Semitism with Holocaust education and other measures. The immune system is not weakening in Britain, other than among Muslim immigrants and leftists eager to meld their radicalism with radical Islam.
Labour’s leader before Corbyn, Edward Miliband, who led the party in the 2015 general election, is Jewish, as was the Conservative Party’s greatest 19th-century leader, Benjamin Disraeli. Former Conservative prime minister Harold Macmillan, who was educated at Eton, noted, perhaps regretfully, certainly indelicately, that Margaret Thatcher’s cabinet included more “old Estonians than old Etonians.” This was not anti-Semitism, just a jest too fine to forgo.
Seven decades after the Holocaust, some European nations have, remarkably, anti-Semitism without Jews and Christian anti-Semitism without Christianity. Britain just has a few leftists eager to mend their threadbare socialism with something borrowed from National Socialism.

Bahrain Suspends Main Shiite Opposition Party Amid Crackdown (abcnews, June 14, 2016)

“Bahrain suspended the tiny island kingdom’s largest Shiite political group and froze its assets on Tuesday as part of a widening crackdown on activists and dissent five years after the country’s Arab Spring protests.
The Al-Wefaq opposition group has been suspended before as Bahrain has been embroiled in turmoil over the protests and lingering unrest that followed in the years since the demonstrations. However, Bahrain’s Sunni-ruled government increasingly has targeted activists in recent days, which has seen one flee for Denmark and another, previously pardoned by its king, detained again…”

Pakistan, Afghanistan increase troops at Khyber Pass border after clash (reuters, June 14, 2016)
http://www.reuters.com/article/us-pakistan-afghanistan-border-idUSKCN0Z011E?il=0
“A Pakistani army officer died on Tuesday after being shot by Afghan forces in a border clash, Pakistan’s military said, a development likely to ratchet up tension between the neighbors who sources said were beefing up troop numbers on either side.
The main gates at Torkham, the most frequented official border crossing at the end of the Khyber Pass, stayed closed for a third day, leaving thousands stranded on either side.
Firing between Pakistani and Afghan forces first broke out on Sunday at the crossing, about 45 km (28 miles) west of Peshawar, over the construction of a new border post on the Pakistani side.
Pakistan’s army chief attended funeral prayers on Tuesday for Major Jawad Ali Changezi, who was among nine Pakistani and six Afghan troops wounded in the fighting, security officials said.
Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s office and the Pakistani military’s press wing also confirmed Changezi’s death.
One Afghan soldier was killed, Afghan officials had said on Monday.
Relations between Pakistan and Afghanistan have been strained for months. Kabul says Pakistan harbors militants seeking to overthrow the Afghan government, among them the Haqqani network and the leadership of the Afghan Taliban.
Pakistan denies it supports militants and says it is building the gate to stop militants from crossing the border.
“This gate (is) considered essential to check and verify documentation of all border crossers,” Asim Bajwa, chief spokesman for the Pakistani military, said on social media website Twitter on Monday.
Afghanistan summoned the Pakistani ambassador on Tuesday to register its protest at the violence, Afghanistan’s foreign ministry said. Pakistan had similarly summoned the Afghan charge d’affaires in Islamabad on Monday, the Pakistani foreign office said.
The Pakistani army had moved heavy weaponry and additional troops to the Afghan border on Monday night, said Pakistani security officials, who asked not to be identified because they were not authorized to speak to the media.
On Monday, an Afghan border police commander also confirmed that reinforcements had been deployed to the Afghan side of the border.
In Afghanistan’s eastern city of Jalalabad, more than a thousand mourners attended funeral prayers on Tuesday for the dead Afghan soldier. Angry protesters chanted “Death to Pakistan”.
Hundreds of demonstrators burned Pakistani flags at another protest in the southern Afghan city of Lashkar Gah.
The Pakistan-Afghanistan border has long been porous and disputed. Afghanistan has blocked repeated attempts by Pakistan to build a fence on sections of the roughly 2,200-km (1,370-mile) -long frontier, rejecting the contours of the boundary…”
Children face beatings, rape, death trying to reach Europe: UNICEF (reuters, June 14, 2016)
http://www.reuters.com/article/us-europe-migrants-children-idUSKCN0Z00XY?il=0
“Migrant children making the perilous journey to Europe to escape war and poverty face possible beatings, rape and forced labor in addition to risk of drowning in the Mediterranean, the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) said on Tuesday.
Minors account for a growing percentage of migrants and refugees, particularly those trying to reach Italy by sea from Libya, it said in a report, “Danger Every Step of the Way”.
Of the roughly 206,200 people who arrived in Europe by sea this year to June 4, one in three was a child, it said, citing figures from the U.N. refugee agency.
“Every step of the journey is fraught with danger, all the more so for the nearly one in four children traveling without a parent or guardian,” UNICEF said.
That ratio was far higher on boats from Libya, where more than nine out of ten children were unaccompanied. UNICEF said there were almost 235,000 migrants and refugees in Libya and 956,000 in the Sahel, many or most hoping to go to Europe.
UNICEF said that there was “strong evidence that criminal human trafficking networks were targeting the most vulnerable, in particular women and children.
“Italian social workers claim that both boys and girls are sexually assaulted and forced into prostitution while in Libya, and that some of the girls were pregnant when they arrived in Italy, having been raped,” it said…”
Like UNICEF is a reliable source of anything. Money for Muslims and the chicks are free. Give nothing to the Muslim dominated UN.
That is exactly what “we” should do. Give them nothing in the first place. Then we should definitely close the borders (for them that is). Anyone who pops “here” up (or is “rescued” in the broader Mediterranean region), should be returned “back” immediately.
here! here!

Venezuelans barter diapers for food on smartphones
A kilo of pasta gets you a packet of diapers. A bag of flour buys a bottle of shampoo.
Short on basic supplies, Venezuelans have reverted to ancient shopping habits: bartering whatever they have.
But the tools of the trade are right out of the 21st century: WhatsApp, Facebook and Instagram.
With food and toiletries in ever shorter supply, their smartphones are helping them survive.

“I have diapers, I will exchange them for a kilo of pasta,” says a message on one group in the messaging app WhatsApp.
It is one of hundreds on the “Puerta del Bosque Swap Shop,” a group of 250 neighbors in Guatire, east of Caracas.

Europe’s Rising Far Right: A Guide to the Most Prominent Parties
By THE NEW YORK TIMES JUNE 13, 2016
Amid a migrant crisis, sluggish economic growth and growing disillusionment with the European Union, far-right parties — some longstanding, others newly formed — have been achieving electoral success in a number of European nations. Here is a quick guide to eight prominent far-right parties that have been making news; it is not a comprehensive list of all the Continent’s active far-right groups. The parties are listed by order of the populations of the countries where they are based.

‘Self-radicalized’ Orlando terrorist linked to San Bernardino terrorists AND Al-Qaeda/ISIS
By J.E. Dyer June 13, 2016
Unbelievably, President Obama described Orlando terrorist Omar Mateen this morning as having been self-radicalized over the Internet.
“It appears that the shooter was inspired by various extremist information that was disseminated over the internet,” Obama said.
If you know nothing about Mateen’s connections, both demonstrated and claimed, the whole description at the NY Post story probably sounds to you like it’s about a loner fanboy who picked up some bad ideas via social media. The adjective “various” is a curious one, perhaps implying that there was more than one thematic source (i.e., something other than radical Islam).
Like clockwork, Obama reiterated the same point made repeatedly by federal authorities after the San Bernardino terror attack in December: that the attack didn’t appear to have been “ordered” by an external source.

DHS head: Trump’s Muslim ban ‘overly simplistic’
Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson on Tuesday called Donald Trump’s proposal to ban Muslims from entering the country “overly simplistic” and “counterproductive.”
During an interview with ABC’s “Good Morning America,” Johnson stressed the need to maintain strong ties with Muslims in order to foster goodwill in their communities.
“Overly simplistic suggestions that we ban people from entering this country based on religion, or ban people from an entire region of the world, is counterproductive,” Johnson said.
“It will not work, and we need to build bridges to American Muslim communities right now to encourage them to help us in our homeland security efforts.”
In the wake of the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history, which left 50 people dead including the shooter at a gay nightclub in Orlando, Trump blamed political correctness and immigration laws for the attack, standing by his call to ban Muslims from entering the country.
“In my speech on protecting America I spoke about a temporary ban, which includes suspending immigration from nations tied to Islamic terror,” the presumptive GOP presidential nominee tweeted Monday, emphasizing points from a speech he gave earlier in the day.

German Politician Seeks to Prohibit Multiple Marriages Among Refugees (sputnik, June 14, 2016)
http://sputniknews.com/europe/20160614/1041310508/german-politician-multiple-marriages.html
“Polygamy is officially prohibited in Germany, but in practice polygamous family relationships are sometimes recognized in the communities of Muslim immigrants, German newspaper Die Zeit wrote.
The situation is expected to change in the near future, with the Federal Minister of Justice and Consumer Protection Heiko Maas struggling to fully prohibit recognition of Islamic multiple marriages in Germany, the article said.
“No one who comes to us has the right to put his cultural roots or his religious beliefs above our laws,” Maas told the newspaper. “Therefore, multiple marriages in Germany must not be recognized,” he added.
Multiple marriages are actually banned in Germany. But in practice, polygamous family relationships are sometimes recognized by German authorities among migrants from Muslim countries where men are allowed to legally have up to four wives.
Maas is resolute to put an end to the recognition of this practice in Germany.
“Everyone must abide by the law, whether they grew up here or just came to us,” he said, adding that “the law is equal for all.”…”

Backstage at Turkey’s Shotgun Wedding with Israel
There is every indication that Turkey and Israel are not far away from normalizing their troubled diplomatic relations. According to Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu, for instance, the former allies are “one or two meetings” away from normalization.
If, however, Ankara and Jerusalem finally shake hands after six years of cold war, it will be because Turkey feels increasingly isolated internationally, not because it feels any genuine friendship for the Jewish nation.
In all probability, the “peace” between Turkey and Israel will look like the definition of peace in Ambrose Bierce’s The Devil’s Dictionary: “In international affairs, a period of cheating between two periods of fighting” — despite the backdrop for peace looking incredibly (but mischievously) convenient. On May 29, a Jewish wedding ceremony was held in a historical synagogue in the northwestern province of Edirne for the first time in 41 years. A few months before that, in December, the Jewish year 5776 went down in history possibly as the first time in which a public Hanukkah candle-lighting ceremony was held in Muslim Turkey in a state-sponsored event. All that is nice — but can be misleading.
There are two major problems that will probably block a genuine normalization. One is Hamas, and the other is the seemingly irreversible anti-Semitism which most Turks devour.
In a powerful article from this month, Jonathan Schanzer forcefully reminded the world that although Saleh Arouri, a senior Hamas military leader, was expelled from his safe base in Istanbul, “… many other senior Hamas officials remain there. And their ejection from Turkey appears to be at the heart of Israel’s demands as rapprochement talks near completion.”

Saudi Arabia’s New Oil Policy
Saudi Arabia, long associated with oil wealth and extravagance, has decided that time has come for it to revamp its image. Last year, King Salman, 80, ascended the Saudi throne, and since then has unleashed major reforms, introduced a more assertive domestic and foreign policy, and handed over the reins of some of the most significant posts of the Saudi leadership to a younger group of Saudi leaders.
The driving force behind these reforms is the 30-year-old deputy crown prince, Mohammed bin Salman, otherwise known as MBS. Prince Mohammed’s vision for Saudi Arabia, the way he puts it, is as a country no longer dependent on oil; with a growing economy and transparent laws, which will consequently give it a strong position in the world. All of this may come across as appealing, but the ability of Prince Mohammed to deliver these reforms depends on several variables. To succeed, Prince Mohammed, although he enjoys a broad mandate, still needs the support of the rest of the country.

Why won’t the Left admit the inconvenient truth about Islam? It hates everything else they love
Over the last two days, the deference of the liberal Left to Muslims over the LGBT community has been excruciating to watch. Unable to reconcile the two causes they champion, they have an awkward inconvenience they dare not face. Predictably they have chosen Islam. And don’t tell me the ‘acts of a few extremists do not represent Islam’, because I am sick of hearing it.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3641118/KATIE-HOPKINS-won-t-Left-admit-inconvenient-truth-Islam-hates-love.html
Because they want to use Islam to destroy western civilization.
Saudi’s new King has discovered the danger of having just one source of income, he is moving to industrialize Saudi and also make it an investment center. Of course all of this requires that Saudi survive the current war with Iran.
It’s a filthy sink-pit.
We get very little hard data, but rates of children born with hideous deformities are simply astonishing. STDs – the men do other men, goats, sex-tourism – passed to the little woman, who then gives birth to – horrors.
Depression, drug addiction and suicide among women – all suffered without a “Feminist Champion”. The Witch even visited her Pet’s Mama when she was in KSA. Unreal.
This is another reason we can’t lose if we can find the leaders to keep fighting, granted the war will last the rest of this century but given what we know about the birth’s in that region we will eventually win through their stupidity and refusal to study true science.
And now we learn that the Saudis have funded 20% of the Witch’s campaign!

Newt: How can you expect the New York Times and the Washington Post be honest in any way?
Well, the elites in this country are intentionally dishonest. That’s part of why you have the rise of Trump and Sanders. People know that the game is rigged.
They don’t want to tell us the truth about the world, they don’t want to tell us the truth about trade deals, they don’t want to tell us the truth about who is getting payoffs in Washington, and they don’t want to tell us the truth about Islamic terrorism. That shouldn’t shock anybody — Why would you expect the Washington Post and New York Times to be honest about anything?
IRAN Ayatollah blames drought on selfies
Iranian women who wear immodest clothing have caused the nation’s rivers to run dry and damaged the environment, a senior cleric has claimed.
Ayatollah Yousef Tabatabai-Nejad, an arch conservative prayer leader in the city of Isfahan, said that a strict Islamic dress code must be enforced to ward off drought. The controversial cleric, previously accused of provoking acid attacks on women who flouted the dress code and for advocating the use of the whip, called for a new crackdown on the phenomenon of “bad hijab”, meaning that women are not properly covered up.

An April 2010 “experiment” in immodesty showed no statistically significant correlation between women’s dress and earthquakes. An Iranian cleric’s words inspried the experiment.

Finally: A Realistic Plan for Fighting the Jihad and Protecting Americans
Courtesy of Donald Trump.
We’ve gotten so used to politically correct obfuscation about Islam being a religion of peace that preaches tolerance and non-violence that Donald Trump’s words in his address Monday were startling: “Many of the principles of radical Islam are incompatible with Western values and institutions. Remember this, radical Islam is anti-woman, anti-gay and anti-American. I refuse to allow America to become a place where gay people, Christian people, Jewish people are targets of persecution and intimation by radical Islamic preachers of hate and violence.”
Trump continued: “This is not just a national security issue. It’s a quality of life issue. If we want to protect the quality of life for all Americans — women and children, gay and straight, Jews and Christians and all people then we need to tell the truth about radical Islam and we need to do it now.”
One may quibble about whether jihad violence and Sharia oppression in Islam are really “radical,” but the fact is that Donald Trump has become the first nominee of either party since 9/11 to reject the usual nonsense about how jihadis believe in and preach a twisted, hijacked version of the religion of peace. Even more importantly, Trump is now the first presidential candidate since maybe John Quincy Adams to recognize that the problem posed by Islam is not just restricted to the specter of violent jihad attacks, but is, given Sharia oppression of women, gays, and non-Muslims, very much, as Trump put it, a “quality of life issue.

CBC – Robert Hall, Canadian hostage, killed by Abu Sayyaf militants in Philippines
Calgary man is 2nd Canadian killed in 2 months by al-Qaeda-linked group amid ransom demands
A Canadian man being held hostage for months by a militant group in the Philippines has been killed, that country’s political administration confirmed early Tuesday.
Al-Qaeda-linked Abu Sayyaf had warned it would kill Robert Hall by a June 13 deadline if it didn’t receive a ransom of some $8 million.
Sources close to the situation in Jolo, the island where the al-Qaeda-linked group is based, and within Philippine security confirmed Hall’s death Monday to CBC News.
Philippines President Benigno Aquino, who will leave office at the end of the month, released a statement Tuesday to that effect.
“We strongly condemn the brutal and senseless murder of Mr. Robert Hall, a Canadian national, after being held captive by the Abu Sayyaf group in Sulu for the past nine months,” Aquino said.
Hall, from Calgary, had been held since Sept. 21, 2015, along with former mining executive and fellow Canadian John Ridsdel, who was killed by the group in late April. Ridsdel and Hall were abducted from a seaside resort along with a Filipino woman and a Norwegian man.
The condition of the remaining hostages is not known.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau last month urged fellow G7 leaders to refuse to pay ransom for hostages. He said at the time that the Canadian flag should not be “a target when worn on a backpack around the world.”
As officials work to confirm Hall’s death, Trudeau on Monday offered his condolences while condemning the “cold-blooded and senseless murder.”
“With the tragic loss of two Canadians, I want to reiterate that terrorist hostage-takings only fuel more violence and instability. Canada will not give into their fear-mongering tactics and despicable attitude toward the suffering of others,” Trudeau said in a statement.
“This is precisely why the government of Canada will not and cannot pay ransoms for hostages to terrorists groups.”
Canada did not negotiate with the group, but lent assistance to the Philippine military, which has carried out operations against the group in recent weeks, according to CBC News correspondent Sasa Petricic.
“We are told by the Philippine military that, in fact, it had at least a couple of the Canadian military who were assisting — not on the ground, not on the front lines — but assisting as consultants with the Philippine government,” Petricic said from Manila.

Ataturk’s Ideology Seen Losing Hold on Turkey as Charter Revised (bloomberg, June 14, 2016)
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-06-14/ataturk-s-ideology-seen-losing-hold-on-turkey-as-charter-revised
“Turkey’s leaders are seeking to remove articles in the constitution that bind public servants to serve the ideology of the nation’s secular founder Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, as part of an overhaul of the state, its principles and institutions under President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
“The prevailing view is that there should be no reference to any specific ideology in the new constitution,’’ Mehmet Ucum, a chief adviser to Erdogan, said in an interview at the presidential palace in Ankara. “It’s thought to be more appropriate if the constitution’s preamble states that Mustafa Kemal Ataturk is the founding leader of the Turkish Republic.’’
The omission will be controversial in Turkey, where Ataturk’s legacy is viewed as the untouchable bedrock of the mostly Muslim nation’s secularist structure — and a key reference for its historically close ties to Western democracies. Both Erdogan and the ruling AK Party, which rose from Turkey’s Islamic political movement and have ruled for the past 14 years, have pushed back against parts of a legacy that they view as oppressive and anti-democratic…”

“Pakistan is looking to hire lobbying firms in Washington after a gap of nearly eight years, seeking to refurbish its image in the United States at a time of deteriorating relations between the allies, two government officials told Reuters on Tuesday.
Ties have been particularly strained following a US unmanned aircraft strike that killed top Afghan Taliban leader Mullah Akhtar Mansour in Balochistan, which the government protested was a violation of its sovereignty.
Relations have also been tense since a plan to buy eight F-16 fighter jets from the United States fell through this May after the US Congress refused to approve the deal…”
