India, Pakistan trade fire in Kashmir killing 2 (abcnews, Jun 12, 2017)
http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/india-pakistan-trade-fire-kashmir-killing-47980426
“Officials say Indian and Pakistani troops have traded fire in the disputed Himalayan region of Kashmir, killing two civilians and wounding three others on the Pakistani side.
A Pakistan army statement Monday says that Indian troops targeted civilians in the Jandrot and Hot Spring sectors along the military control line, killing two people and wounding three. The statement says Pakistani troops returned fire.
Lt. Col.Manish Mehta, an Indian army spokesman, said Pakistani soldiers fired at Indian positions in two sectors early Monday with no report of casualties.
India and Pakistan have fought two of their three wars over Kashmir, which both claim in its entirety, since gaining independence from British colonial rule in 1947.”

http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/police-lone-gunman-kills-journalist-pakistan-47981564
“Pakistani police say a lone gunman has shot and killed a journalist in the northwestern town of Haripur.
Senior police officer Mohammad Sabir says 39-year-old Bakhshish Illahi, bureau chief of a local daily newspaper and television station, was targeted Sunday near his home while on his way to his office.
Sabir says the journalist was a father of four and had recently joined television channel K-2 and daily newspaper K-2 Times after serving at another local newspaper for 14 years.
Sabir says an investigation hasn’t revealed any personal enmity toward Illahi and he was apparently killed for some other reason. He didn’t elaborate.
Journalists in Haripur protested the killing.”

“Iran’s official IRNA news agency is reporting that police have killed four Islamic State group-linked gunmen in the country’s south.
The Monday report quotes the chief of police of Hormozgan province, Gen. Azizollah Maleki, as saying his forces killed the gunmen Sunday in a shootout near the town of Roudan, 1,200 kilometers (745 miles) southeast of Tehran.
Maleki said police confiscated an IS flag and four machine guns, bullets and some explosives. He added that two of the four were foreigners. He did not elaborate.

Preliminary result: Kosovo leaders of anti-Serb war win (abcnews, Jun 12, 2017)
http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/rebels-group-leads-kosovo-election-preliminary-result-47979595
“Nearly complete results in Kosovo’s national election are showing that a coalition of former ethnic Albanian leaders of a war of independence against Serbian troops in 1998-1999 is leading with a third of the vote.
The Central Election Commission reported Monday that the ex-rebels’ coalition came in first with around 35 percent of the vote. With 91 percent of votes counted, the nationalist Movement for Self-determination had about 27 percent, a point ahead of the coalition led by former Prime Minister Isa Mustafa.
No group can govern alone and a coalition is likely.
Final results for the new 120-seat parliament are expected later in the week. Twenty seats in parliament are reserved for ethnic Serbs and other minorities.
Ramush Haradinaj, 48, the leading coalition’s nominee to be prime minister, told supporters at a midnight rally in Pristina that “we know that there is a lot of work ahead of us. But we are going to achieve them together.”
The Movement for Self-determination also celebrated the results, which saw the party double its share of the vote. The party has been a disruptive force by releasing tear gas in the previous parliament, and its supporters threw firebombs outside it to protest the contentious deals with Montenegro and Serbia…”
4 Syrians brothers face terrorism charges in Germany (abcnews, Jun 12, 2017)
http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/syrians-face-terrorism-charges-germany-47980323
“German authorities say they’ve arrested four Syrian brothers on terrorism charges for allegedly fighting for an extremist group in their homeland five years ago.
Mustafa K., 41, Abdullah K., 39, Sultan K., 44, and Ahmed K., 51, whose last names weren’t released according to privacy regulations, are accused of membership in a terrorist organization for fighting for the Nusra Front in the northern Syrian city Ras al-Ayn starting in late 2012.
Federal prosecutors said in a statement Monday the men were allegedly involved in the group’s fight against Syrian government troops and Kurdish defense forces.
Mustafa and Sultan are also charged with war crimes for allegedly forcing civilians from the city and plundering their possessions.
Prosecutors refused to say when the brothers entered Germany.”
Germany: Police arrest four suspected members of Jabhat al-Nusra – reports
A Syrian man was arrested, reportedly on suspision of being part of a militant group, after police forces raided and searched his family home, in Seevetal, south of Hamburg on Monday.
Police conducted the search early in the morning, with the suspect being taken out in a blind fold and interrogated in a civilian vehicle before being driven away. Family members were also questioned.
Neighbours described the man as friendly and not suspicious.
European broadcasters have been accused of censorship after refusing to air a documentary highlighting anti-semitism in Muslim migrant communities.
The film, Chosen and Excluded — The Hate for Jews in Europe, depicts the plight of Jewish people suffering violence at the hands of their Muslim neighbours in cities such as Paris.
The Franco-German broadcaster Arte and WDR, a German public broadcaster, shelved the film, saying it had failed to offer a “multi-perspective” approach and lacked reporting from European countries.
This was in defiance of experts who had been commissioned to evaluate the film and who praised it, calling for its release. Germany’s highest Jewish body also wanted it aired.
Joachim Schroeder, the co-director of the film, said television chiefs had told him the subject of anti-semitism in migrant communities was “very sensitive ” and the documentary had to be “balanced” in presenting the problems facing all minorities.
“If I make a documentary about Auschwitz, must I also report on the suffering of the families of SS guards?” Schroeder said.
French Jews think they have no future here
He claimed that TV bosses had believed the involvement of Ahmad Mansour, a German author of Palestinian origin, would ensure the film would “not be perceived as critical of Muslim communities”.
When the bosses saw the finished product, however, they changed their mind. “It seems we hit the nail on the head and it was too much for the TV management,” said Schroeder.
Michael Wolffsohn, a German historian who was part of the team evaluating the film, said: “This is by far the best, most intelligent and [most] historically profound film on this subject, which is sadly extremely topical.”
Götz Aly, another historian who has watched the film, accused the producers of outright “censorship”.
The film, which has been seen by The Sunday Times, was shot in France, Germany, Hungary, Israel and the Palestinian territories.
It shows Jewish teenagers in a Paris suburb complaining they would have to join the exodus of French Jews leaving for Israel under pressure from Muslim neighbours.
“This is a Jewish quarter surrounded by banlieues. We’re trapped here — when we go out we risk our lives,” says a Jewish schoolboy from Sarcelles, a Paris district that saw violent attacks on Jews during pro-Palestinian riots in 2014.
The teenagers described frequent beatings.
“Everybody here wants to move,” says one. “Almost everyone from Sarcelles has moved to Netanya [in Israel]. If you go there it’s like Paris — there are only French [people] around.”
Their testimonies are followed by an interview with François Pupponi, the Socialist mayor of Sarcelles, who admits the gravity of the problem but calls for the young to persevere for the sake of France.
“French Jews think they have no future in France, that they have to leave the country to live in security and peace,” Pupponi said.
He claimed that pro-Palestinian groups had encouraged hatred of Israel.
“For a certain number of young people ‘Jew’ and ‘Israel’ are one and the same so if you’re against Israel, you’re also against synagogues,” he said.
Leading French and German newspapers, such as Le Monde and Bild, have joined the campaign to push for a release of the film.
Josef Schuster, head of the Central Council of Jews in Germany, said it was “extraordinarily important” for it to be broadcast.
Alain Le Diberder, the director of Arte, said the film had been shelved for “honourable and good” reasons and it had focused too much on the Middle East rather than events in Europe.

“European broadcasters have been accused of censorship after refusing to air a documentary highlighting anti-semitism in Muslim migrant communities.”
Although seemingly obvious, I hope that all and sundry will take careful note of how the refusal by broadcasters, Arte and WDR, to air “Chosen and Excluded — The Hate for Jews in Europe” is NOT any sort of effort to avoid casting European Muslims in a bad light but, instead, yet another blatant instance of straight-forward ANTISEMITISM.
Such a flagrant omission of the truth about how European Muslims have overtly and openly declared low-intensity war upon the Continent’s indigenous Jewish population is a de facto endorsement of such aggressive bigotry. All of which constitutes material support—if only through voluntary concealment of facts—for this modern incarnation of the historic pogroms and Russian or Nazi extermination campaigns of previous centuries.
Propaganda Media outlets, Arte and WDR, are knowing and willing accessories to Islam’s obsessive doctrinal ideology of genocide. May these apparatchiks find their deliberate obfuscation of resurgent European Antisemitism (Muslim or otherwise) rewarded with reserved seating in an especially incendiary corner of innermost hell.
Syrian conflict: Assad government troops launch campaign to cripple rebel forces (express, Jun 12, 2017)
http://www.express.co.uk/news/world/815918/syrian-conflict-deraa-assad-troops-bombing-jordan-border-rebels-free-syrian-army
“SYRIAN forces supported by Iran-backed militia groups have ramped up attacks against a rebel-held district of the southern city of Deraa, according to residents.
In what could be a prelude to a large-scale attempt to wrest full control of the city from rebel groups, the Syrian army has launched an intensive campaign of raids and bombing strikes on the area, strategically located on the border with Jordon.
Bashar al-Assad’s forces have recently intensified barrel bomb strikes on the area, and has fired hundreds of so-called elephant rockets on the city’s old quarter, as well as a nearby former refugee camp.
The Syrian military has not commented on its build-up of troops in the region, or the escalating bombing.
But reinforcements from the army’s allies, including Hezbollah and Shi’ite Muslim Iraqi militias, have rushed to the city from a number of locations near Damascus, the Syrian capital.
Troops travelled to the region using the Damascus-Deraa highway, a major supply route where well-fortified trenches on both sides of the road have made it more difficult for rebels to launch counter-offensives.
Major Issam al Rayes, a spokesman for the so-called Southern Front grouping of the Free Syrian Army, said: “The regime has brought large columns of troops from the elite 4th Armoured Division, and also Hezbollah forces.
“Everything indicates the regime is preparing for a large-scale military campaign in Deraa in which they plan to encircle the city and reach the Jordanian border.”
The troops being sent to the region are considered to be the Syrian army’s elite division, which has the best training and equipment.
Adam al-Karad, commander of the missile brigade in the FSA’s Southern Front, said: “Our surveillance shows troop carriers and heavy armour – if it continues at this same level of reinforcements, this will be very large.”
Assad’s military has ramped up its drive to recapture the Manshiya neighbourhood, a district that almost completely fell into rebel hands after four months of firefights in the streets.
Rebels stormed the strategic area in order to take control of the Syrian army’s strategic crossing with Jordon.
If Syrian forces retook the area, it would sever the rebel link between the eastern and western parts of the province they control, dealing a major blow to their cause in the south.
The Syrian government’s strategic goal is to open a direct route from Damascus to the Jordanian border.”
That’s not gonna happen.
Twelve people injured after ‘Molotov cocktail thrown into restaurant in Paris suburb’ (express, Jun 12, 2017)

“TWELVE people including six police have been injured after a Molotov cocktail was reportedly thrown into a restaurant in Paris.
The fire broke out in the northern suburb of Aubervilliers at 8.30pm Sunday and is believed to have been linked to an attempted robbery.
Three people were airlifted to hospital after suffering severe burns from the incident and six police officers were left with minor injuries after responding to the incident.
According to local media, the arson was linked to a “robbery gone wrong” – but police are yet to officially confirm whether the incident was an attack or discuss its motive.
Fifty firefighters were scrambled to the scene, according to reports, and 15 vehicles were required to tackle the blaze…”
Norway burqa ban: Norwegian officials wants to outlaw face-covering veils in schools (express, Jun 12, 2017)
http://www.express.co.uk/news/world/816010/Burqa-ban-Norway-schools-Europe-France-the-Netherlands-Bulgaria-Bavaria
“NORWAY wants to introduce a ban on face-covering Muslim veils in kindergartens, schools and universities, the government said on Monday.
If the movement goes through, Norway will become the latest European nation to propose restrictions on wearing burqas and niqabs.
France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Bulgaria and the German state of Bavaria have all imposed restrictions on wearing full-face veils in public places.
Norway’s minority government, a coalition of the centre-right Conservatives and the populist Progress Party, said it was confident it would find opposition support for the move.
Education Minister Torbjoern Roe Isaksen said: “We have every reason to believe this will be approved by parliament.”
Norway, which will hold elections on September 11, will be the first country in the Nordics to introduce a ban on burqas for both adults and children.
Minister of Immigration and Integration, Per Sandberg, told a news conference: “Face-covering garment such as the niqab or burqa do not belong in Norwegian schools.
“The ability to communicate is a basic value.
Employees who insist on wearing a veil would risk losing their jobs, and students could face expulsion from university, he added.”
When worlds collide: Black Lives Matter, Linda Sarsour, LGBTQs rain on ‘pride’ parade
By Ben Bowles June 11, 2017
It’s getting so you need a score card. As protected classes jockey for recognition in the public square, the pushing and shoving is beginning to turn ugly. And rhythmic.
Yesterday, a group that calls itself the Capital Pride Alliance held its annual Pride Parade through the streets of Washington. The group, which according to the mission page on its website, is “dedicated to serving the needs of the LGBTA community and its partners through educational events,” planned to march from Dupont Circle and 17th Street to the Logan Circle neighborhood. But the march was interrupted by members of Black Lives Matter, who blocked the way, many shaking their booties, all of them chanting.

Islamic State piggybacks Baaz’s social mega-feed (BBC, Jun 12, 2017)
http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-40246763
“A media group linked to so-called Islamic State (IS) militants has started sharing their online posts via the social media platform Baaz.
The San Francisco-based service, founded in 2015, allows users to combine updates from dozens of other apps and sites into a single feed for simplicity’s sake.
It currently supports English and Arabic languages.
The BBC has been unable to reach Baaz for comment.
The IS-linked propaganda outlet Nashir News Agency began posting material to Baaz in the early hours of 12 June.
The content included claims about attacks and images glorifying the group’s activities.
The outlet advertised its new Baaz account via numerous replica channels on the messaging app Telegram, which has itself attempted to restrict the Nashir agency’s activities on its platform.
IS’s news outlet Amaq has also launched a feed on Baaz, where it started posting its own reports and videos on 5 June.
Nashir News Agency, which largely distributes official IS material – including that of Amaq, proliferated on the messaging app Telegram after the group’s official channels – called Nashir – went underground last August.”

Lee Zing Yang, 24, and Meng Li Si, 26, were taken by gunmen from the southwestern city of Quetta last month.
IS claimed it killed the couple last week after Pakistan said it had prevented the group from establishing a stronghold. Pakistan has sought to downplay the group’s presence, saying local militants are merely acting in its name.
China, a longtime ally of Pakistan, is investing billions of dollars in projects collectively known as the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor.”

China still has some throw away population, they have a lot of young men that are restless and don’t have any women, they could cull the excess men by keep the best at home and sending the rest out to Pakistan, Afghanistan and elsewhere. They are already sending people to Africa and from the skimpy reports I have seen the Africans don’t like them.

“Police in Singapore have detained a preschool assistant who shared pro-Islamic State group materials online and intended to travel to Syria, their first arrest of a female Singaporean citizen alleged to be a sympathizer of the radical group, the Home Affairs Ministry said Monday.
The ministry issued a statement saying that 22-year-old Syaikhah Izzah Zahrah Al Ansari was arrested earlier this month under the country’s Internal Security Act, which allows for indefinite detention without trial. Singaporean authorities since 2015 have detained 14 Singaporean males suspected of being Islamic State group sympathizers.
Singapore’s immediate neighbors, Indonesia and Malaysia, have large Muslim populations, and hundreds of Islamic State group sympathizers are estimated to have traveled to Syria from the two countries. Singapore, an island nation of 5.6 million people, is a multicultural society dominated by ethnic Chinese. Ethnic Malays, who are predominantly Muslim, make up 15 percent of its citizens.

“Candidates in the runoff of French parliamentary elections hit the campaign trail on Monday, shaken by a record abstention rate in the first round and the prospect of a sweep by President Emmanuel Macron’s new party that would shatter the political landscape.
Less than half of registered voters — 48.7 percent — cast ballots on Sunday, the Interior Ministry said in its final count the morning after. Those who did gave Macron’s Republic on the Move party over 28 percent of the vote — more than 12 points ahead of its closest rival, the mainstream conservatives.
If the sweep holds as expected in next Sunday’s final round, lawmakers for Macron’s party, many of them new to politics, could take more than 400 seats in the 577-seat National Assembly, the lower house — unprecedented in the Fifth Republic.
Marine Le Pen’s far-right National Front fell flat with 13 percent of the vote. Le Pen, who had Europe on edge until she lost the May 7 presidential race, was trying to save herself and her party in the legislative contests.

“Finland’s centrist and conservative party leaders both say the populist The Finns party cannot stay in the three-member government coalition after it elected an anti-EU and anti-immigration hardliner as its chairman last week.
Prime Minister Juha Sipila of the Center Party and Petteri Orpo of the National Coalition Party said after talks Monday that there was no common ground for working with The Finns’ new leader, Jussi Halla-aho, bringing the government to the verge of collapse.
Sipila is to announce later Monday the fate of his center-right majority government, which took office in May 2015.
Observers say that two small parties, the Christian Democrats and the Swedish People’s Party, may now replace The Finns — a rare European populist party that had managed to hold Cabinet positions.”
Closing EU borders will lead to inbreeding, German finance minister warns
Wolfgang Schäuble said closing Germany’s borders would ‘ruin’ the country
As European countries grapple with growing public concern over immigration, political tensions are running high.
But hyperbolic political rhetoric reached a strange new peak this week when Germany’s finance minister Wolfgang Schäuble told a newspaper that closing the country’s borders would lead to inbreeding.
In an interview with weekly paper Die Zeit, Mr Schäuble rejected the idea Europe could close its borders to immigrants, and said: “Isolation is what would ruin us – it would lead us into inbreeding.”
Taking aim at opponents of Germany’s border policies, he said: “Muslims are an enrichment of our openness and our diversity.”
“Look at the third generation of Turks, especially the women. That is an enormous innovation potential,” he added.
Germany took in more than a million asylum seekers in 2015, and the issue of integration has seen rows over immigration dominating the political landscape.
The country has also seen a swell of anti-Islamic groups, and the government has said attacks with a far-right motivation reached a 15-year high in 2015.
But Mr Schäuble’s claim that Germans will resort to inbreeding has left many bewildered as to what he means.
German daily paper Der Tagesspiegel described the assertion as “bizarre”, and asks why, in a country of over 80 million people, a stop to immigration would lead to inbreeding.
Mr Schäuble also called for greater economic engagement with the Middle East and Africa, English language German paper theLocal.de reports.
“North African countries are already demanding [economic investment] from us as a condition for taking refugees back. And they are right to do so,” he said.
Update. This article originally translated Mr Schäuble’s use of the German word ‘inzucht’ as ‘incest’. On reflection, ‘inbreeding’ appears to be a more appropriate rendering in English. Our report has been updated on this basis. 8/6/17
http://www.independent.co.uk/News/world/europe/closing-eu-borders-immigration-will-lead-to-incest-german-finance-minister-warns-a7077696.html?amp=
Schäuble clearly fails to understand that the greater danger is institutionalized Islamic inbreeding (i.e., consanguineous marriage) and the staggering medical costs associated with treating recessive traits like retardation, deformity, and congenital health conditions.
He’s just a jerk, Norse.
You are being too kind, he is a very large fool who thinks we are even stupider then he is.
People in power that are as stupid as he is are very dangerous.
Tunisians protest for right not to fast during Ramadan
Tunis (AFP) – Dozens of Tunisians demonstrated Sunday to demand the right to eat and drink in public during the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan and to protest against non-fasters being arrested.
There is no law against eating or drinking in public during Ramadan, but every year the issue comes to the fore in the North African country.
Tunisia’s constitution guarantees “freedom of belief and conscience”, but the state is also the “guardian of religion”.
Following a call by the “Mouch Bessif” (Arabic for “Not against our will”) group, protesters in central Tunis shouted that “Individual freedom is guaranteed by the constitution!”
One man openly smoking a cigarette — this is also deemed unacceptable during Ramadan daylight hours — held a placard in French that asked: “Why does it bother you if you fast and I eat?”
Demonstrators also protested against the arrest of people who were not fasting.
At the beginning of June, four men were sentenced to a month in jail for “public indecency” after eating outside during daylight.
“We’re protesting about lawsuits against non-fasters… Whoever wants to fast can fast, but whoever doesn’t want to shouldn’t have to,” demonstrator Karim Chair told AFP.
Since the 2011 revolution there have been calls for the right not to fast, but this was the first time such a demonstration has taken place in Tunisia.
“I fast but I came to join this protest and call with these people for respect for the freedom of belief and conscience,” said another demonstrator, Kamel Jalouli.
Most cafes and restaurants in Tunisia close during the day in Ramadan, and those that open do so discreetly.
As this year’s fasting month began, a media-oriented preacher went round cafes open during the day to record footage of clients and shame them in a move that was heavily criticised on social networks.

Remember the little girl named Kayla in Idaho that 3 rapfugee “children” trapped in a laundry room and sexually assaulted?
In the summer of 2016, five-year-old Jayla Peterson, who has mental disabilities, was lured by the three immigrant boys to the laundry room of Fawnbrook Apartments. There, two of the three Muslim boys orally and anally raped Jayla, while the eldest boy filmed the whole ordeal. It has also been claimed by some who viewed the video that the boys urinated on Jayla.
The assault on Jayla was played down by glowing accounts of how smart the perpetrators are, and how they’re the ones suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Janice Kroeger, the Senior Deputy Prosecuting Attorney, spent much of her time during the case defending the perpetrators, rather than trying them (which was her job). Kroeger also frequently attacked Laci Peterson, the victim’s mother.
Throughout the trial, many on the prosecution team described the seven-year-old Iraqi boy as “the biggest victim of them all,”
Because of this very biased coverage, all three boys were given probation, and were only charged with sexually lewd conduct.
This disgusting charade of “justice” calls to mind the Rotherham and Rochdale grooming scandals in the United Kingdom, where native-born white and Sikh women were raped and abused by Muslim gangs.
In both Idaho and England, Muslims who routinely harassed the families of their victims were given lenient sentences, simply because of the power of political correctness, and multiculturalism.

BREITBART – Tory Peer Warsi: UK Should Forget About Integration, Tackle Islamophobia Instead
There is “no point” putting Muslims in Britain under scrutiny after three terror attacks in three months, according to Baroness Sayeeda Warsi, who argued the UK should include Islamophobia in its definition of “extremism”.
Asserting that Britain’s relationship with its resident Muslims should be reset from scratch, Warsi demanded an end to pressure on the Muslim community, which she declared to be united in fighting terror.
Highlighting how “imams and young people have taken to the streets” and “Muslims have raised money for the victims”, the former Conservative Party chairman said Muslims in Britain have played their part in opposing Islamist terror attacks and suggested anger at terror attacks is even stronger within the Muslim community than amongst the general public.
“I’ve never seen as much anger. The language used to describe the terrorists has never been sharper, angrier, and, I would say, the level of anger towards the terrorists from British Muslims is even greater than it is within the mainstream,” she said.
Because of this, the Baroness urged the government to show restraint in its response to terrorism, telling The Guardian: “There’s no point saying we need to go deeper into the Muslim community, because in all cases they reported them [the terrorists]; it was obvious to them who was radicalised.”
According to Warsi, the government should instead be reviewing how it defines extremism, and consider Islamophobia to be a problem similar to that of Islamism.
“There is still no definition of far-right extremism,” she lamented. “The only definition of extremism that exists within government policy is Islamism. We also have no definition of what is Islamophobia.”
The Baroness also condemned calls made by policymakers for Muslims to integrate into British society.
“The majority of terrorists speak good English,” she insisted, pointing out that the perpetrators of many of the recent terror attacks lived Westernised lifestyles at some stage.
Describing integration as “a middle-class pastime”, Warsi argued the only way the government can tackle the problem of extremist and “separatist” religious communities in Britain is by improving Muslims’ situation with regards to “economics, poverty, life chances”.

Irish Mirror – Dad loses court battle to force carers to trim son’s pubic and underarm hair ‘in line with Islamic tradition’
The father was ‘anxious’ that his adult son should adhere as fully as possible to the tenets of his family’s Muslim faith – but the court said it would put him at risk of injury
A dad who took a care home to court because he wanted staff to trim his seriously disabled adult son’s pubic hair ‘in line with Islamic tradition’ has lost his legal battle.
The father, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was adamant the hair around his son’s privates, as well as under his arms, should be cut in line with Islamic custom.
But experts said it would put the 39-year-old at risk of injury and was pointless, as he is unable to understand his religion.
The case reached the Court of Protection, where senior judge Mr Justice Cobb has now made a ruling that it is not in the man’s best interests, The Huddersfield Daily Examiner reports.
He has suffered his whole life with a range of disabilities and has the mental capacity of a toddler, the judge told the court.
He said that “there is simply no religious duty or obligation” on someone so disabled to trim or shave pubic and axillary, or underarm, hair.
“He has a lifelong developmental condition and has never had the capacity to understand the tenets of Islam,” he said in his judgment.
“The fact is that, by reason of his disability, he is absolved of the expectation of performing this recommended procedure, and there is no other clear benefit to him.
“The trimming of the pubic hair and axillary hair would serve no other purpose.
“I am anxious that he should be spared additional stresses in his life and wish to protect him and the staff from the risk of harm – an approach which itself has the endorsement of Islamic teaching.”
The court heard the son had been brought up in his Sunni family home, in West Yorkshire, where his father had shaved his hair.
However, his behaviour had led to him being moved into a residential care home.
It is a non-religious institution and his carers are not Muslims, although his main social worker is, the court heard.
However, his dad is anxious that his son should adhere as fully as possible to the tenets of the Islamic faith, said Mr Justice Cobb.
But the judge said the trimming or shaving of pubic and underarm hair is not “wajib”, obligatory in Islam, but is in fact “mustahab”, or recommended practice.
If not done by a fit and healthy Muslim, it would only be regarded as a “minor sin” and, due to the son’s disability, was not even considered “recommended” for him.
“It is not in his best interests that his pubic and/or axillary hair be trimmed in accordance with Islamic custom for capacitous followers of Islam,” she added.
The judge also made a declaration that the son be relieved of the obligation to fast during Ramadan.
His family had accepted that was the right decision and had never required him to fast in the past.

UK OCTOBER 2013 – Taxpayers foot £350k legal bill for Muslim pubic hair battle
A top judge has criticised the “astonishing” £350,000 cost of a legal battle over a couple’s right to shave their disabled daughter’s pubic hair.
Taxpayers have been left with a legal bill of £350,000 after Muslim parents went to court to win right to shave their disabled daughter’s pubic hair.
The mother and father of the young woman, who cannot be named and is referred to as ED in court documents, said their daughter’s pubic hair should be removed in line with Islamic tradition.
But their local council, which has cared for their daughter since 2008, questioned whether the disabled woman had the mental capacity to consent to her hair being removed.
In 2011 the couple applied to the family court for their daughter, now in her thirties, to be returned home and raised the “stark” issue of her pubic hair being removed – leading to a long-running, £350,000 taxpayer-funded legal battle.
But the couple have now dropped the case at the last minute, leaving a judge at London’s High Court “utterly baffled”.
Mr Justice Roderic Wood said: “I thus remain utterly baffled by the course this litigation has taken, and perplexed by this lack of clarity in their case.
“Obtaining a 10-day slot of a High Court Judge’s time is not easy, for there are many competing cases of equal if not greater urgency than this one.”
The local authority involved had incurred costs of £138,000, the couple of £82,000 and the official solicitor, appearing for ED, of £130,000 – with the taxpayer footing the entire bill.
“This is an astonishing sum of money,” the judge said. “Particularly when one considers…that the ultimate resolution is that the parents have, ultimately with their own ‘consent’, agreed to orders which dismiss any hope of ED coming to live with them and a significant reduction in her contact with them.”
In the lead up to a final hearing, fixed for this month, “a great morass” of evidence was prepared, including 740 pages of witness statements, 300 pages of expert evidence as well as other documents, the judge added.
Unchallenged evidence from a cultural expert observed that “whilst there was a duty to remove pubic hair – both for religious and cultural reasons – there is an exemption for those incapacitated such as ED”.

Rita Katz – How Terrorists Slip Beheading Videos Past YouTube’s Censors
Other jihadi propaganda on the video-sharing platform may be visually more low-key, but are just as insidious in their own ways.
There is a grim bit in comedian Dave Chappelle’s new Netflix special about clicking “don’t like” on an Islamic State beheading video.
“How is this guy cutting peoples’ heads off on YouTube?” Chappelle asks, noting the absurdity of it.
Don’t like. Click.
In reality, reports of extremist content littering YouTube aren’t new. But when hundreds of major advertisers began suspending contracts with YouTube and Google in recent months, boycotting the massive video-sharing platform over concerns with such explicit content, things got a lot more real.
Google services—namely YouTube—are the most plentiful and important links used by terrorist organizations to disseminate their propaganda. And despite all of YouTube’s efforts to keep them out thus far, such groups still manage to sneak their media onto its servers.
The Current State of YouTube
The amount of YouTube and other Google links created to push terrorist content is hard to overstate. Take one IS recruitment video, “And You Will be Superior,” one of many released amid the snowballing boycott. The 35-minute video, released on March 18, urges people of all ages to join IS by featuring suicide bombers from different walks of life—a doctor, a disabled fighter, and a young child—describing their lives before footage of their respective suicide operations.
When IS releases a video like this, an array of pro-IS media groups—translators, promoters, social media leaders, link-creators—immediately get to work in pushing it out across the internet. One very important, but not widely known media group, The Upload Knights (or Fursan al-Rafa in Arabic), plays a major role in the dissemination of these releases by creating hundreds of links to them across various streaming and file-sharing sites on a daily basis.
The importance of YouTube to The Upload Knights and other terrorist media groups is clear as day. During a two-day span following the release of “And You Will be Superior,” The Upload Knights distributed the video and its promotional banner with 136 unique links from Google services alone: 69 for YouTube, 54 for Google Drive, and 13 for Google Photos.
Keep in mind, that was just one video, and just one media group. In the 10 days between March 8 and 18—the time span leading to the aforementioned video’s release—The Upload Knights channel posted 515 links to Google services: 328 for YouTube, 148 for Google Drive, and 39 for Google Photos.
YouTube is equally important for al Qaeda (AQ) and its affiliates. Note the way in which al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula’s (AQAP) primary media channel prioritizes YouTube above all other forms of video dissemination. Releasing a May 3 video on clashes with Security Belt Forces in Yemen, the channel forwarded the video via three links: two of which to compilations of over 130 links on two pasting services, and one being a YouTube link.
Other jihadi videos on YouTube may be visually more low-key, but are just as insidious in their own ways. YouTube contains a library for speeches by extremist clerics like Anwar al-Awlaki, a deceased American citizen whom many terrorists have praised as a formative influence in their radicalization. As a teenage female IS recruit from Colorado once answered in an online Q&A platform, when asked what she does when she can’t sleep at night: “Watch lectures on youtube and stay on twitter.”
And it’s not just jihadist content plaguing YouTube’s servers. Violently racist and bigoted videos like those featuring “Moonman,” a white supremacist meme originated from old McDonald’s advertising, show Jews and other minorities being shot while exclaiming “death camps for blacks” and “fascism’s back.” (To see just how easy they are to find, enter the word “Moonman” into YouTube’s search bar.)
Simply put, advertisers’ concerns are not unfounded.
Terrorists’ Methods of Exploiting YouTube
It would be unfair to say YouTube hasn’t done anything to stop terrorist media from reaching its servers. Per YouTube’s policy on terrorist-related content:
YouTube strictly prohibits content intended to recruit for terrorist organizations, incite violence, celebrate terrorist attacks or otherwise promote acts of terrorism. We also do not permit foreign terrorist organizations to use YouTube. Content intended to document events connected to terrorist acts or news reporting on terrorist activities may be allowed on the site with sufficient context and intent. However, graphic or controversial footage may be subject to age-restrictions or a warning screen.
To this point, YouTube has made it easy for users to flag policy-violating content and worked toward implementing automated solutions for detecting terrorist content. However, as I’ve stated before, terrorist propaganda comprises a lot more than the gory execution videos which detection technologies may seek to find. And, just as troublingly, terrorist groups have repeatedly found ways to bypass unwanted attention from non-supporting users and administrators.
For instance, in order to prevent users from flagging explicit or inflammatory extremist videos, terrorist media groups and disseminators like The Upload Knights and AQ’s As-Sahab Media Foundation often label YouTube videos as “unlisted,” meaning that the videos cannot be searched—only accessed if you are given the link. This feature works well to keep a video somewhat contained to supporters and prospects. They are also just as easy as any other link to find on the messaging service Telegram, though, after which they can be further disseminated on social media.
Terrorist groups also upload videos that are not the actual videos they are advertised to be. Instead, audio plays over a still image with a message at the bottom directing users to alternative links provided in the description section. Take an April 26 video from IS’ Ninawa Province for example:
In the comments section of this YouTube upload, which was eventually removed, were several more links, making the YouTube page look a lot like a password-protected jihadi forum or private Telegram chat group:
Toward Better Solutions
Terrorist groups are brand-focused by their very nature. Thus, releases by these organizations consistently bare recurring elements, including hashtags, phrases, and watermarks. For instance, videos by IS’ ‘Amaq News Agency consistently open with the same animation, as shown in the following screenshots taken from YouTube:
Media by AQ and its affiliates likewise contain the same types of watermarks. For example, the following screenshots show recurring opening and closings of videos by AQAP:
YouTube already uses precisely the type of technology that could recognize much of these elements on its servers as such. So, if the company can recognize copyright-infringing material and other policy-violating content, then why can’t it do so for propaganda from a group like IS or AQ?
Also noteworthy is that when YouTube removes a video from a terrorist media group like The Upload Knights, it doesn’t always remove the channel that posted it, allowing the group and others like it to upload future videos more easily.
Take an April 5 IS video from IS’ Furat Province as an example. The following combined screenshots show the video’s stats as it stood on YouTube with over 220 views prior to being taken down, and a thumbnail taken from Telegram, whereon it was widely disseminated.
Despite being taken down, the YouTube channel that posted it is still active as of May 22, as shown in the following screenshot.
Taking down these channels might at least offer somewhat more deterrence to terrorist groups. But by leaving them up, YouTube is already giving them a half-way head-start to upload the next terrorist release. In the wake of Monday’s attack at Manchester Arena, for example, the Upload Knights Telegram channel began rapidly posting previously released IS videos threatening the West. Each video was posted with only five links, the first of which being to YouTube and Google Drive.
There are plenty of such channels to go around on the platform. A search for The Upload Knights in Arabic shows an array of channels, complete with the Upload Knights name and logo:
A lot of terrorist media groups also use uploading scripts like Rapidleech, which enable them to simultaneously upload content to multiple services, including YouTube, and easily repeat the process for each new piece of content. Anything seeming to be uploaded with such devices should at least be a red flag to those monitoring the platform for content deemed offensive, including extremist propaganda.
Extremist groups’ ongoing embrace of YouTube, and their investment in new ways to stay on it, signals a clear and troubling message: terrorists still feel like they have a grasp on the platform. Responding to advertisers concerns in March, Ronan Harris, Managing Director of Google UK, stated that the company knows it “must do more,” while promising to “provide simpler, more robust ways to stop [advertisers’] ads from showing against controversial content.”
YouTube’s issue with terrorist content is not just one of advertising revenue; it is one of safety. That said, we should all wish the video-sharing company and all other stake-holding information and communication technology platforms the best in countering extremist content on their servers, and hope to see these companies embrace new, adaptive solutions and partnerships in doing so. Maybe then would a joke about the absurdity of clicking “don’t like” when confronted with a video of a terrorist “cutting peoples’ heads off on YouTube” gradually lose relevancy.
For now, Chappelle’s bit is as potent as ever. As is often said about comedy, there’s a dark, unsettling humor in it because it’s true.
Rita Katz, executive director of the SITE Intelligence Group, has infiltrated terrorist fronts undercover, testified before Congress and in terrorism trials, and personally briefed officials at the White House, as well as investigators in the Departments of Justice, Treasury, and Homeland Security. Her investigations and testimony have driven action by the US government against terror-linked organizations and individuals.

“Truth About Islam” Billboard Upsets Muslims in Indianapolis
Muslims in Indianapolis are using words like “bigotry” and “Islamophobia” to describe a new billboard that, by all accounts, appears to be an accurate representation of some of the disturbing truths regarding the head honcho in the religion of Islam – Mr. “Don’t Draw My Picture” himself, Mohammad. And while we wait for some deranged Muslim to blow the billboard and a few innocent drivers to kingdom come to prove that Islam is a religion of peace, we must first listen to them complain to the local news media.
The billboard, sponsored by a website called Truthophobes, is titled “The Perfect Man” in reference to Islam’s founder. Below it, there are a series of facts about Mohammad with check boxes beside them to let drivers know what this religion is really all about. They didn’t go and get these facts from some anti-Islamic book or some dubious history of Mohammad, either. No, each of the facts comes from the Quran itself. This is what Islam teaches ABOUT the founder of Islam.
So what’s the problem?
“I was a little disappointed when I saw that,” Farial Khatri of the Islamic Society of North America told a local Fox News affiliate. “We do support free speech, but we do realize this is also rooted in bigotry. We’ve seen them in New York and several others cities on billboards as well as other transit ads.”

Never Trump is Still Waiting for the Apocalypse
One of these days, just you wait.
June 12, 2017
Daniel Greenfield
“Republicans of all stripes must be made to acknowledge and accept that Trumpism is an experiment that failed,” Noah Rothman wrote in Commentary.
It was October 2016 and Rothman was declaring the terms on which Never Trumpers would accept the surrender of Republicans after Trump’s defeat. Some “examples must be made”, but after some political purges, the GOP could be reunited around “free trade” and “an internationalist foreign policy”.
But instead of losing, Trump won. The disasters that Rothman was predicting, the loss of Congress and the White House, never came about. And the scorned prophets of Never Trump, instead of apologizing or being offered terms for rejoining the GOP, continued forecasting disaster and doom for the heretics.
Like Democrats, Never Trumpers were still stuck on an election that Trump wasn’t supposed to win. Democrats had predicted a Hillary victory and Never Trumpers predicted a Republican disaster. Both Democrats and Never Trumpers want to reverse the results of the election. The Democrats invent vast conspiracies and the Never Trumpers predict disasters that will never happen.

Sponsors Pull Out of “Kill Trump” Production of Julius Caesar
June 12, 2017
Daniel Greenfield
The fault, my dear Eustis, is not in the sponsors, but in ourselves.
It appears that major corporations are not especially interested in having their brands all over the “Kill Trump” version of Julius Caesar being put on as the latest Shakespeare in the Park staging in New York City. That’s the one where the opposition consists of women and minorities. And Caesar is Trump. And is murdered graphically on stage.
It’s interesting that there are still red lines. Apparently murdering a president is still one of them.

Iran’s Foreign Legion in Syria
Exporting the revolution.
June 12, 2017
Joseph Puder
Arab News reported (6/7/2017) that “Suicide bombers and gunmen attacked the parliament building and the Mausoleum of Ayatollah Khomeini in the Iranian capital. Islamic State (IS) claimed responsibility and released a video purporting to show gunmen inside the parliament.” The twin attacks on Wednesday killed 12 Iranians, and embarrassed the radical Islamist regime by showing its vulnerability at home. IS terrorists hit the most potent symbols of Iran’s Islamic Republic on Wednesday. It has brought into sharp focus the high cost of Tehran’s involvement in Syria, which according to the powerful Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) leadership, was meant to ward off terrorist attacks at the home front. With an economy that has barely recovered from sanctions imposed on it by the international community, the Iranian regime of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei can hardly justify the huge cost to the treasury of exporting its revolution and backing Assad in Syria with Iranian cash, if not in blood.
Given the Sunni-Shiite conflict engulfing the Middle East, it was inevitable that IS will ultimately strike at Iran – the patrons of Shiite-Islam. The antecedents of IS in Iraq proved that the Sunnis who ruled in Iraq albeit, as a minority with a Shiite majority, won’t easily allow Shiites to disenfranchise them. In Syria however, the Sunnis are the majority, and have been ruled for almost 50 years by the Alawite (Shiite) clan of the Assads. It was never a question of whether or if IS will strike at Iran but rather when. The array of Shiite militias fighting IS, and non-Islamist Sunni militias, under the command of Maj. General Qasem Soleimani, the head of the Quds Division of the IRGC, is clear enough reason why Iran is, and will continue to be a target.

To understand the headlines of today, we have to recognize the global impact of political Islam (the ideology also known as Islamism).
The three flag bearers of Islamism are: The Muslim Brotherhood, Khomeni-ism and Wahabi/Salafism. These ideologies control nearly 80% of the mosques and Islamic organizations throughout the world, thus influencing the Muslim psyche.

Hezbollah Terrorists Caught in US Planning Attack
Home > World > Iran > Hezbollah Terrorists Caught in US Planning Attack
The pace of jihadist activity has been so intense lately that an incredibly important story has been barely reported on:
Two terrorists belonging to Hezbollah, a puppet of the Iranian and Syrian regimes, have been arrested for planning attacks in the U.S., with one scouting potential targets in New York including JFK International Airport.
Both are citizens who entered, exited and re-entered the U.S.
Although the Iranian and Syrian regimes regularly organize terrorist attacks through its Hezbollah proxy, the plotting of attacks on U.S. soil and on Americans overseas is very significant, but not unprecedented.
The two arrested terrorists are Ali Kourani of the Bronx, New York and Samer El-Debek of Dearborn, Michigan. Each is a well-trained militant who belongs to Hezbollah’s Islamic Jihad branch that is tasked with perpetrating terrorist attacks, preferably with some level of deniability.

Two German police officers have been removed from their posts after they failed properly to provide emergency assistance to a woman who was raped by a migrant in Bonn.
The lack of attention by the police has added to the perception that German authorities are not taking seriously a rape crisis in which thousands of German women and children have been sexually assaulted since Chancellor Angela Merkel allowed in around two million migrants from Africa, Asia and the Middle East.
Saudi Arabia’s Connection to Radicalizing British Jihadis

n the wake of the London Bridge attack on June 3, which came on the heels of the Manchester Arena bombing, Britain’s approach to combating terrorism has come under scrutiny at home and abroad. Judging by man-in-the-street interviews, it played a significant role in the June 8 general election, the outcome of which — a victory for Prime Minister Theresa May against Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, yet a hung parliament — reflected a split in voter perception over whom was to blame for the country’s precarious security situation and which party is better suited to rectify it.
Although Corbyn has called terrorist groups, such as Hamas and Hezbollah, his “friends,” May not only has been holding the reins since the resignation of former Prime Minister David Cameron in September 2016 — after the Brexit referendum — but she had also served as Home Secretary for six years before that.
A few months earlier, in January, Cameron authorized an investigation into the foreign funding of radical Islamist groups inside Britain. According to a recent report in The Guardian, Cameron agreed to the inquiry, requested by the Liberal Democrat party in exchange for its support for British airstrikes against ISIS to Syria. The probe was to be conducted by the newly established “extremism analysis unit” of the Home Office, then headed by May, and its findings were due to be published in the spring of 2016.
