1, ‘Islam or Die’ Reportedly Tagged on Texas Churches
(This looks like a stencil was prepared for this bit of dawa)
San Antonio news outlets are reporting that two area churches were defaced by vandals. Identical graffiti on the structures reads: ‘No to wall’ and “Islam or Die” with an unknown symbol stenciled beneath.
These incidents purportedly occurred in San Antonio on Monday at Gethsemane Lutheran Church and Saint Gregory the Great Catholic Church. On both, black spray painted messages read in capitalized letters: “No to wall” and “Islam or Die,” along with an unidentified image, according to KABB. The TV news outlet said the defacement was done by an unknown suspect.
French president Francois Hollande has admitted the country ‘has a problem with Islam’ and warned France’s national symbol will one day by a woman in a burka.
Hollande also branded ethnic minority football stars as ‘guys from the estates, without references, without values, who leave France too early’, it emerged today.
The words were all part of a more general attack on people from Muslim backgrounds whom the Socialist Mr Hollande views as a major difficulty for his country.
(Perhaps he shouldn’t have created that problem then.)

The BBC was at the centre of a damaging diversity row last night after one of its top radio stars was sacked for being ‘white and male’.
Bafta award-winning comedian Jon Holmes was axed from The Now Show – the hit Radio 4 programme he has appeared on for 18 years – when bosses told him ‘we’re recasting it with more women and diversity’.
Last night, leading figures from the world of entertainment and across the political spectrum reacted with fury to the BBC instigating a policy in which it was now choosing performers based on their gender or skin colour, instead of their talent.

5. Putin: We know who hit aid convoy in Aleppo, so do the Americans
For his part, Donald Trump says his immigration plan does not ban Muslims, but instead requires “extreme vetting” for Muslims arriving from countries with documented problems of Islamic terrorism—consistent with the U.S. Constitution.
Regarding policy, Americans will decide between the sharply contrasting visions of Trump and Clinton—one focusing explicitly on security and America’s interests, the other saying behind closed doors that she believes in “open borders” but does not say so publicly, and that national leaders can have a private position that is different from their public positions.

8. The white face of Obama’s plausible deniability discusses human shields in Alepo
Thank you Pym Purnell, M., Richard, Wrath of Khan, and many more who sent in materials. Its already a hell of a news day. More to come. Quite a bit actually.
5 – I am still afraid about how this campaign by Obama to blame Russia for everything. It is obvious that he is deliberately fomenting trouble between the US and Russia at a time when we should be semi friendly.
Once again I will remind people to look for the pattern before they reach conclusions about events. During his entire Presidency Obama has done nothing to help the US and a lot to harm the US, the only conclusion I can reach is that he is deliberately trying to damage the US. With a history of actions that have damaged the US the only logical conclusion that can be reached about his actions with Russia is that he is trying to start a shooting war with Russia.
I wonder what Hillary thinks about his efforts to leave a shooting war with a major power for her to clean up? Assuming she wins and I don’t think there is any way including massive vote fraud by the Democrats that she can win.
If I may play devil’s advocate for a moment…
During the Bush admin the Russians took the southeast and the northwest of Georgia. My son was in the US Navy and got to witness the devastation. Under a tricky sleight of hand the Russians were able to grant citizens in these parts of the country Russian citizenship. The Bush Admin let this happen…
Then the Crimea; an area that Russia purposely repopulated with Russians. This was a tried and true method to stabilize areas that were not under Russian domain. The Chinese did this too. It is the typical Russian playbook.
Now we are looking at the Baltic states and their precarious situation. The west doesn’t really care about Latvia and Lithuania. But the state who cares is Poland. Are they going to go down without a fight and, are we going to defend them? At this point, I actually don’t know.
NATO is a gentleman’s club that hasn’t had to defend anything for a very long while.
And I just wonder Richard where it would be that you would want this to stop? Would it be the entire take over of Ukraine and Moldova or, would you draw a line at Lithuania and Latvia? Or, if Russia invaded Poland again would that be enough?
I respect your opinion on most things but this is something I disagree with you on.
I don’t know where you got the idea that I am supporting Putin and Russia because I am not.
Having said that will we defend Poland? Depends on who is President and what is happening in the rest of the world. I think Trump would fight for Poland but will the rest of NATO? Even if they will fight with what? Europe got rid of their military forces after Gulf War I and Obama has disarmed the US.
You ask where I would want this to stop, ideally Russia would pull all of their troops out of every place they have moved into and seized. Will this happen no, will the US and Russia fight probably Obama is working on this happening. Will it go nuclear I hope not.
Please tell me where you got the idea that I was willing to give up any nation to Russia because I don’t think I have ever implied that and I know for sure I have said that. I have said that we would probably have to give up Ukraine because of the tactical difficulity of moving ships into the Black Sea. That would be a nightmare with another one occurring every time we tried to resupply the ships. I am willing to trade lives for land in combat (hopefully it won’t require too many lives) but I am very much against asking people to commit suicide on a small chance that the action will succeed.
FYI, Obama has cut the US military to the point that our Navy is smaller then it was at the beginning of WWI, not WWII but WWI. The Army is much smaller then it was at the beginning of WWII and this is the lowest number of operational aircraft we have ever had.
Knowing this you tell me where we are going to stop Russia and how? Remember both sides have to be careful not to push so hard that the situation will go nuclear and Obama has massively reduced the size of our nuclear arsenal and missiles. We are left with agin missiles (the ones that Obama left weren’t the newest) and a reduced number of warheads. Plus the fact that the best most competent officers and NCOs have been purged from the military.
Now tell me what we are going to do and where we are going to do it with? When I was in the Army I faced off against the Russians in Europe and would do it atain if I were young enough.
Last paragraph, what instead of where, aging instead of agin and again not atain.
The French voters know that Hollande and the political power elites are lying to them about Islam. So why do they vote for the liars and reject the truth, i.e., LePen/FN? Parallels are everywhere in all western countries.
