  1. BCF -Trudeau’s claim of Canada & Islam’s shared values in action: Muslims refuse to stand for “O Canada” at School board meeting

    A Muslim delegation to a Canadian school board in the City Mississauga this week refused to stand up for the Canadian National Anthem, “O Canada.”

    They then accused the school board of disrespect and guess what, Islamophobia! Shameless SOBs.

    Watch and weep. These are the guys PM Justin Trudeau wants all of Canada to brown nose.

      Why am I not surprised that Justin Trudeau blows his nose with toilet paper?

    KUALA TERENGGANU: Muslim men who do not perform Friday prayers in Terengganu will now face a maximum fine of RM3,000 or two years’ jail. This followed the passing of a bill to amend the Terengganu Syariah Criminal Offences Enactment (Takzir) 2001 by the state assembly here yesterday.

    Migrant centre EXPLOSIONS: Violence between locals and migrants SHUTS DOWN Italian city

    EXPLOSIONS and makeshift barricades outside a massive migrant centre unleashed chaos in one of Italy’s biggest cities.

    Violence erupted outside a former Olympic village accommodation where 1,300 migrants are being housed in Italy.

    Long-standing tensions between local residents and migrants broke out on Wednesday night when two explosions were set off just outside the migrant centre in Turin.

    The powerful explosions were strong enough to shake windows of nearby houses, according to local residents.

  10. How many people here have read Jonathan Swift’s ‘Gulliver’s Travels’? That is, more than the first chapter or two?

    If you did, you will know the difference between ‘Yahoos’ and ‘Huyhnyhms’. If not – please, read the book: it is TOTALLY worth it.

    Now, having set the context:

    North African jail inmates are resorting to ‘dirty protests’ by using their urine, blood and faeces to attack German prison staff as they await deportation, say wardens
    North African inmates have smeared their cells with faeces, urine, blood
    Many of the prisoners have been convicted and are awaiting deportation
    It echoes the ‘dirty protests’ by IRA inmates in Northern Ireland in 1970s

    Xan: It also echoes Jonathan Swift’s ‘Yahoos’!!!

    • Its been a long time since I read the full book, I will have to find a copy and refresh my memory.

    Police are investigating suspected arson after a fire in southern Sweden saw much of, equally famous and infamous, artist Lars Vilks’ life’s work burned to the ground on Thursday evening.

    Swede ‘supposed to die’ in Copenhagen terror attack (17 Mar 16)
    Hiding still ‘indefinite’ for Swedish artist Vilks (25 Mar 15)
    Vilks: ‘I might be able to sneak out of hiding’ (18 Feb 15)
    Internationally, Swedish artist Lars Vilks may be most known for his controversial cartoon of the Prophet Muhammad as a dog in 2007, which has made him the target of a string of assassination plots, forcing him to live in a secret location and national security service police to guard him round the clock.

    But in Sweden, he is also closely associated with Nimis, a maze-like wooden rebel land art installation culminating in huge statues erected on the north-west peninsula Kullaberg of southern region Skåne.

    Around a fourth of the construction was completely destroyed in the Thursday blaze.

    Mazin AbdulAdhim, a prominent imam of Iraqi descent in London, Ontario who is affiliated with the radical Hizb ut-Tahrir group, wrote on Facebook, “Aside from the interesting coincidence that all these fires spread wildly due to ‘unusually strong winds’ just as they are trying to ban the Athan [call to prayer] across the lands they occupy, what’s even more interesting is how this event further exposes their severe weakness and near-total dependency on foreign help, as they beg for foreign assistance and aid to save them.

    “They don’t control the world. They can barely even control the tiny sliver of land that was given to them for free by the British after World War I,” wrote AbdulAdhim.

    “Without the puppet tyrants protecting their spineless backs, and without annual welfare checks from their sugar daddy in the U.S., they wouldn’t last a week.

    “May Allah cause the winds to increase and the fires to spread far and wide, and burn their illegitimate properties and all their beloved belongings to ashes, and take from them what they took from the people of the pure land of Al-Aqsa and its surrounding area,” he wrote.

    Hizb ut-Tahrir is an Islamic organization which aims to have all Muslim countries unify as a caliphate ruled by Islamic law.

  14. Germany planning to ‘massively’ limit privacy rights (DW, Nov 25, 2016)
    http://www.dw.com/en/germany-planning-to-massively-limit-privacy-rights/a-36529692

    “Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere is planning a major limitation of privacy rights in Germany, say data protection groups. Germans will no longer have the right to know what data about them is being collected.

    A draft law released by the German union for data protection (DVD) this week revealed that the interior ministry was proposing to drastically limit the powers of Germany’s data protection authorities, banning them from investigating suspected breaches of people’s medical and legal records.

    As well as expanding video surveillance with facial recognition software, the bill would limit the government’s own data protection commissioners to checking that the technical prerequisites are in place to ensure that doctors’ and lawyers’ files are secure, but it stops them from following up when citizens report concerns that their data has been leaked.

    The bill would also shut down citizens’ right to know what data is being collected about them – even by private firms, if releasing that information would “seriously endanger” a company’s “business purposes,” the SZ quoted the draft as saying. Thilo Weichert, former data protection commissioner for the state of Schleswig-Holstein and now DVD board member, condemned de Maiziere’s plans as a “massive” erosion of privacy in Germany…”

  15. Experts say laws not enough as Germany fights bots and fake news (DW, Nov 25, 2016)
    http://www.dw.com/en/experts-say-laws-not-enough-as-germany-fights-bots-and-fake-news/a-36528332

    “The German government would love to take social bots and fake news sites, which influenced the US election, out of the political equation. But coming up with legislation will be a tricky proposition.

    Angela Merkel is worried about social bots, fake news sites and trolls. On Wednesday, in her first major address after declaring her intention to seek a fourth term, the chancellor said that such practices might need to be “regulated.” But concrete legislation is unlikely.

    “The Justice Ministry has convened a task force on hate speech on the Internet,” deputy government spokeswoman Ulrike Demmer said on Friday in Berlin. “Companies have promised their cooperation, and illegal content is now being deleted more quickly than before. But more needs to be done.”

    At an IT summit last week, German Justice Minister Heiko Maass said that authorities could take legal action against hate speech on the Web if it violated laws concerning libel or incitement to violence. And he threatened legal measures against social media platforms, like facebook and twitter, if they fail to become become more vigilant against defamatory and incendiary speech. But a Justice Ministry spokeswoman said on Friday in Berlin that at present no further legislation to combat social bots or fake news sites was in the pipeline…”

    • Translation: Merkel is scared that a popular revolution will come to Germany if she doesn’t find some way to shut down all websites that don’t support her.

    • “…Arabic-speaking psychologists are scarce.

      Garsh! Why is that? Could it have anything to do with how human suffering throughout the Islamic world routinely gets very short (medical or psychiatric) shrift?

      When one considers how tiny Portugal translates from English more books each year than the entire Muslim Middle East combined, it should readily become apparent that elevation of the masses is one of the absolute last priorities throughout these lands.

      Consider this, there are some who deem prosperity to be bad for jihad. Yes, you read that correctly. Economic success is regarded by some as the enemy of Islamic conquest. From the link:

      What [deceased second-in-al Qaeda command] Al-Ayyeri sees now is a “clean battlefield” in which Islam faces a new form of unbelief. This, he labels “secularist democracy.” This threat is “far more dangerous to Islam” than all its predecessors combined. The reasons, he explains in a whole chapter, must be sought in democracy’s “seductive capacities.” This form of “unbelief” persuades the people that they are in charge of their destiny and that, using their collective reasoning, they can shape policies and pass laws as they see fit. That leads them into ignoring the “unalterable laws” promulgated by God for the whole of mankind, and codified in the Islamic shariah (jurisprudence) until the end of time.

      The goal of democracy, according to Al-Ayyeri, is to “make Muslims love this world, forget the next world and abandon jihad. “If established in any Muslim country for a reasonably long time, democracy could lead to economic prosperity, which, in turn, would make Muslims “reluctant to die in martyrdom” in defense of their faith.

      Got that?!?

      It is just as easy to point towards numerous studies that unequivocally show that poverty has nothing to do with terrorism. As in, many of the bomb vest murderers come from middle (or above) class families and have college educations.

      Governments within the Muslim Middle East have ZERO concern about the psychological well-being of their people. Au contraire, they much prefer their citizens to be violently discontented with current circumstances.

      All of this leads back to Europe’s addled-minded notion that any of these Islamic invaders will be susceptible to psychoanalysis. Remember, you can’t spell analysis without A-N-A-L.

  18. Turkish spy in Bremen plotted murder of 2 Kurds: report (thelocal, Nov 25, 2016)
    http://www.thelocal.de/20161125/report-turkish-spy-in-germany-plotted-murder-of-2-kurds

    “Two major public broadcasters reported on Friday that a man believed to be a Turkish agent spied on two Kurdish functionaries and plotted to murder them.

    Broadcasters NDR and WDR reported that the state prosecutor’s office in Bremen had initiated an investigation, which a witness said had to do with a Turkish agent conspiring to kill two people active in the Kurdish community outside Turkey.

    The Bremen office then referred the case to federal prosecutors in Karlsruhe

    According to information obtained by the broadcasters, the Karlsruhe authorities are aware of the case, but are only looking into suspicions of espionage.

    The investigation started with an anonymous statement from a woman to a newspaper that is close to the Kurdish Workers’ Party (PKK), which is banned in Germany. She said that she knew of a Turkish agent who had been disguising himself as a journalist in Bremen for two years. He had set up interviews with Kurdish functionaries so that he could spy on them.

    She was able to corroborate her account with numerous documents, including photographs, copies of passports and recordings. The woman brought these materials to both the police and the broadcasters.

    She also reported that there was a murder plot, in which two other agents were involved. Investigators are determining whether the woman’s testimony is reliable.

    It is not clear where the alleged Turkish agent is now…”

  19. Pakistan Navy considering buying warships from China, Turkey (tribune, Nov 25, 2016)
    http://tribune.com.pk/story/1243724/ideas-2016-navy-considering-buying-warships-china-turkey/

    “Pakistan Navy is considering buying super-fast ships from China and Turkey for its special squadron to be deployed at the Gwadar Seaport for the security purpose, officials said on Thursday.

    “A squadron may have four to six warships,” an official of Pakistan Navy told The Express Tribune on the sidelines of the on-going defence exhibition, IDEAS 2016, at the Karachi Expo Centre.

    The ships would be bought soon keeping in view their immediate need in the fleet, he said, adding two defence ships have already been deployed at Gwadar. The official said the role of maritime forces has increased in Pakistan since the country has made the Gwadar Seaport operational and speeded up economic activities under the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC)…”

  20. Pakistan readied battle plans after Uri, says air chief (tribune, Nov 25, 2016)
    http://tribune.com.pk/story/1243678/indian-aggression-pakistan-readied-battle-plans-uri-says-air-chief/

    “Chief of Air Staff Air Chief Marshal Sohail Aman on Thursday said Pakistan was “not worried about India at all”.

    “India should show restraint and instead solve the issue of Kashmir as that would be better for them,” the air chief said as he spoke at 9th International Defence Exhibition and Seminar (IDEAS).

    He said Pakistan had “readied” its battle plans after “threats from India” after the attack in Uri sector. The air force chief also warned the neighbour against “acts of aggression”, as tensions escalate in the Subcontinent.

    Aman said Pakistan could not ignore this kind of pressure. “We are well capable of responding in the face of any aggression,” he said. The PAF chief reassured the nation that Pakistan Air Force was very much capable of and ready to respond to any hostile activity…”

  21. Pakistan will not accept India’s supremacy: Sartaj Aziz (tribune, Nov 25, 2016)
    http://tribune.com.pk/story/1244073/pakistan-not-accept-indias-supremacy-sartaj-aziz/

    “Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s senior aide Sartaj Aziz said on Friday that the nation would not accept India’s paramountcy.

    He made the remarks during an NA session, Members of the NA raised concerns regarding India’s attempt to isolate Pakistan, to which Aziz gave a stern reply.

    Further, the premier’s adviser foreign affairs announced that Pakistan was willing to hold talks with India, however, it would only do so if Kashmir was included in the agenda. Referring to the issue of Indian belligerence on the Line of Control (LoC) and gross human rights violations in occupied Kashmir, Aziz said, “Pakistan has never attacked civilians along the LoC.

    Indian forces targeted a passenger bus in Azad Jammu and Kashmir on Wednesday, killing at least nine people and wounding another nine…”

    • “Pakistan will not accept India’s supremacy”

      “Well, isn’t that SPE-CIAL?!”

      [/church lady]

      Seeing as how India has surpassed Pakistan’s GDP, industrial output, and just about every other significant economic or societal metric that means sh!t to the modern world, maybe it’s time for the West to declare “game over” in this ridiculous pissing contest.

      For those who are unaware, “Pakistan” means, “Land of the Pure”. As in a nation guided entirely by the most carefully distilled of Islamic teachings.

      When one examines their domestic unabated intramural Islamic slaughter, preeminent role as the world’s leading terrorist training institution, continuing genocide of all non-Muslim believers, and such trivial intricacies as almost single-handedly incubating one of this world’s sole remaining POLIO EPIDEMICS, it rapidly becomes apparent that Pakistan’s embodiment of “pure Islam” is impeccable and beyond reproach.

      The only problem being is that they have dozens of nuclear weapons, and are proliferating that same technology to some of this world’s most belligerent regimes. This definitive Islamic pisshole is so unstable that they’re shuttling around their meager inventory of nuclear warheads in UNARMORED FLORAL DELIVERY VANS in a vain attempt to simultaneously avoid having them confiscated by Western Special Forces and, just as futilely, keep them out of Taliban terrorist hands.

      What could possibly go wrong?

  22. India’s water will not be allowed to go to Pakistan: Modi (tribune, Nov 25, 2016)
    http://tribune.com.pk/story/1244076/indias-water-will-not-allowed-go-pakistan-modi/

    “Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi while referring to the Indus Water Treaty has said that water belonging to India will not be allowed to go to Pakistan.

    “The fields of our farmers must have adequate water. Water that belongs to India cannot be allowed to go to Pakistan…Government will do everything to give enough water to our farmers,” Modi was quoted as saying.

    Modi made the remarks in Bhatinda where he was inaugurating the All India Institute of Medical Sciences…”

    • Pay close attention. Water conflicts will be the nuclear flashpoint(s) for this century.

      Map of Indus River

      The Indus River is Pakistan’s “aorta”. Without its annual flow, the entire nation would shrivel up and starve. While oil may have driven the last century’s conflicts, water will be the prime mover for this new century. India and Pakistan are both on the edge already with respect to Kashmir. Between Pakistan’s military instability and India’s economic turmoil, this is going to a lot more ugly before things even remotely begin to stabilize.
