  1. UAE psychologist to train women to ‘accept being second wife’ (alaraby, Sep 28, 2017)
    https://www.alaraby.co.uk/english/blog/2017/9/28/uae-psychologist-trains-women-to-accept-being-second-wife

    “A psychologist in the UAE has developed a programme to help women accept being a second wife, comparing a woman who is angry when a man marries another to a first-born feeling left out when a new sibling is born.

    Zahraa al-Musawi conducted a study to figure out why women resist their husbands marrying second, third or fourth wives, initially putting it down to jealousy. In the study, she acknowledges that a man marrying another woman would lead to anxiety, depression and anger.

    Her study emphasised the analogy of a married woman being like a child; she craves attention from her husband the way a child craves attention from their parents. If a new wife is in the picture, like a child who had a new sibling, she will suffer from withdrawal symptoms, which will leave her depressed, according to al-Musawi’s research.

    Her solution? No, not guiding a woman to decide what she wants, and to walk away if she feels she is being wronged.

    It’s to teach women to “accept” the situation, and understand that her husband has every right to marry another woman.

    Al-Musawi created a five-stage programme, all of which is supposed to counsel a woman and train her into “loving herself enough to submit to the situation”:

    1. Understanding why ‘men need to marry more than one’ woman

    The first session is focused on “debunking” questions that naturally form in a woman’s mind after she is faced with the situation of polygamy being imposed upon her. Al-Musawi seeks to address questions such as “is there something wrong with me?” and “does he not love/want me now that he has another wife?”

    She claims that this session is supposed to rid the woman of her own bias against polygamy to understand and respect “the man’s perspective”.

    2. Self-confidence

    The second session focuses on the woman’s self-confidence. She insists that a confident woman will be minimally fazed by her husband marrying another woman.

    In this session, she aims to get rid of what she refers to as the “irrationality” that leads women to become upset when her husband marries another woman.

    3. Exorcising self-blame

    The third session teaches women to rid themselves of self-blame. She sets out to explain to women that her husband has not married another woman because there is anything wrong with her – rather it is simply “the course of life”.

    She claims that a woman who truly accepts herself will accept the situations into which her husband has put her, and that “a real woman” will not allow “external influences” to “break her home” by leaving her husband.

    With this, al-Musawi brings a strong implication that a woman who resists polygamy is a woman who is insecure.

    4. Seeking support

    The fourth session is about seeking a form of assistance or support when the depression and anxiety gets too much, while the patient is in the process of accepting her fate.

    Al-Musawi here tells women to find someone in whom to confide, and to lean on others for emotional support in the process of “adapting to this life change”.

    5. Ignoring ‘not enough of a woman’ criticisms

    At times, when a man takes another wife, the first wife is usually blamed. Rumours may come out claiming that she is not a competent enough wife, or is not “woman enough” for her husband.

    The fifth session is supposed to teach women to ignore such remarks and to continue moving on with her life.

    For many reasons, throughout history, polygamy has historically been an attribute of Arab culture.

    In August, a hashtag emerged out of Saudi Arabia calling on men to marry multiple women in order to “cure spinsterhood” in young women.

    The hashtag, translating to “multiple wives cures spinsterhood” calls for men to marry more than one woman in order to stop the so-called epidemic in the rise of young women not getting married.

    There are many reasons behind women not wanting to get married, from not finding a suitable partner, to not wanting a partner, to prioritising other aspects of life such as education and career.

    However, according to the hashtag, being a woman and single is a condition from which women must be saved, and men must rise to the responsibility of doing so.”

    • This whole twisted logic regarding polygamy, reminds me of the video of the very compassionate appearing Imam saying full of feeling that killing gays is really the best thing you can do for them.

      “out of compassion, let´s get rid of them now”

    • …comparing a woman who is angry when a man marries another to a first-born feeling left out when a new sibling is born.

      The only difference being that the siblings are not being deprived of such minor marital features as exclusive sexual congress or devoted spousal intimacy. Other than that, the analogy works perfectly.

      In the study, she acknowledges that a man marrying another woman would lead to anxiety, depression and anger.

      None of which qualifies in any remote way as spousal abuse. Islam, the gift that keeps on giving.

      She insists that a confident woman will be minimally fazed by her husband marrying another woman.

      She insists that an insecure doormat of a woman will be minimally fazed by her husband marrying another woman.

      There, fixed that.

      It’s pretty much obligatory to note how men have always been at a historical disadvantage in terms of being cuckolded by a mate. Too often, they were stuck raising someone else’s child. That said, Islamic purdah (“confinement”) is not a solution and polygamy is merely adding insult to injury.

      One of Christianity’s most redeeming qualities is that, unlike almost all other major religions, it championed monogamous matrimony based on mutual romantic love instead of the usual arranged marriages that characterize so many other brutal and misogynistic cultures.

      She claims that a woman who truly accepts herself will accept the situations into which her husband has put her, and that “a real woman” will not allow “external influences” to “break her home” by leaving her husband.

      Especially if to, “break her home”, means being left destitute and deprived of all contact with her children—a common outcome of utterly lopsided Islamic divorces.

      With this, al-Musawi brings a strong implication that a woman who resists polygamy is a woman who is insecure.

      One would think her most dominant insecurity would center on whether or not to copy Lorena Bobbitt.

      In fact, just the other day, I tried to telephone Lorena Bobbitt … and she cut me off!

      [rimshot]

      Rumours may come out claiming that she is not a competent enough wife, or is not “woman enough” for her husband.

      As opposed to the husband (and I use that term loosely) being “man enough” to stand by his wife.

      The hashtag, translating to “multiple wives cures spinsterhood” calls for men to marry more than one woman in order to stop the so-called epidemic in the rise of young women not getting married.

      After all, what could be more appealing than wedding someone who regards you as chattel and will treat you like a “unique household appliance”.

      If anything, with all of the so-called “honor killings” (i.e., MURDERS), I’m totally amazed that there is any surplus of spinsters in Islamic countries.

      • Poor young men are left out altogether. They have to be killed off, jihad-ing somewhere or other, high-risk population.

    • Very minor nitpick:

      The venerable Mr. Skelton (RIP) conflates “liberty” and “freedom”.

      Liberties are inherent. Freedoms are granted.

      There is a gigantic difference and, especially in these perilous times, it would behoove us all to remember the “unalienable rights” and liberties that are our birthright in America.

      Far too many of the electorate and its own public servants (i.e., politicians) seem to have forgotten this essential distinction and our nation’s collective amnesia threatens the entire republic.

      May we all somehow manage to survive this largely self-induced endangerment of our freedom. Look no further than modern (or Nazi) Germany for an example of what happens to a people who willingly disregard their right to functional elected representation.

      A few “Gertrude & Heathcliff” seagull-based Red Skelton jokes (from memory):
      —————————–

      Gertrude: Gosh, the beach sure is crowded today.

      Heathcliff: Yup, kinda takes all the sport out of it.

      —————————–

      Gertrude: Did you see the Mayor’s limousine?

      Heathcliff: Yeah, I spotted it.

      —————————–

      Gertrude: Oh Heathcliff, laying these eggs is such a pain!

      Heathcliff: Let’s go downtown and you can watch the mayor lay a cornerstone.

      —————————–

      Skelton was one of the last Old School comedians who did not rely on profanity or shock value to boost or maintain his popularity. While I found his clown paintings to be insipid, I still admire his clean sense of humor, patriotism, and (especially) his theatrical “rubber face”. Only Jonathan Winters, and his acolyte Robin Williams, were in that same class. Jim Carey, with his marginal acting abilities, was left in a distant third (or fourth) place.

      As Skelton would say at the end of every network show:

      “Good night and God bless.”

      (Imagine how well that would go over for modern comedians.)

      PS: Thanks for the memories, yucki.

  8. Man arrested in Fort McMurray faces warrant for extradition to U.S. for terrorism-related prosecution

    A man arrested in Fort McMurray earlier this month is facing a warrant for extradition to the United States to face prosecution for terrorism-related offences.

    Abdullahi Ahmed Abdullahi was arrested Sept. 14 by RCMP. He was wanted on the extradition warrant, as well as for his alleged role in an armed robbery at an Edmonton jewelry store in 2014.

    “The United States has sought the extradition of Abdullahi Ahmed Abdullahi for prosecution for terrorism-related offences,” federal Justice Department spokesman Derrick Pieters said in an email Tuesday.

    The U.S. Department of Justice did not respond to questions about the allegations Abdullahi faces in that country.

    A search of Alberta court records indicates Abdullahi, 32, has no previous charges or convictions in the province, aside from the robbery charge.

    Abdullahi appeared by video conference on the extradition matter in Edmonton’s Court of Queen’s Bench on Sept. 15, and was expected to appear again Friday morning. He was also expected to appear in provincial court Friday for a bail hearing on the robbery charge.

    Abdullahi is being represented by Edmonton criminal defence lawyer Akram Attia, who declined to comment on the case.

    The case file has been sealed by the court.

    A family residing at an Edmonton address connected to Abdullahi in provincial court documents declined to comment Thursday.

    The warrant for the armed robbery charge was issued Sept. 12, according to provincial court records. When Abdullahi was arrested two days later, two other co-accused in the robbery case were also taken into custody.

    The two men — Said Mohamed Abdulkadir, 24, and Abdikadir Abdullahi, 30 — have not been linked to Abdullahi Ahmed Abdullahi’s extradition case.

    All three men face one count of robbery with a firearm in connection to a jewelry store heist Jan. 9, 2014.

    Abdikadir Abdullahi is also charged with one count of weapons possession for a silver handgun and one count of assault with a weapon. He was ordered released on bail following a hearing Monday and is next scheduled to appear in provincial court on the robbery matter Oct. 10.

    Said Mohamed Abdulkadir was expected to be in provincial court Friday for an appearance in the robbery case.

  9. CANADA – Oshawa man jailed five months for anti-Muslim graffiti at bus stops

    OSHAWA — A judge has sentenced a man who scrawled anti-Muslim graffiti at bus stops in Durham Region to five months in jail.

    Joseph Porco shows little insight into the harmful nature of his conduct, Ontario Court Justice Ferhan Javed said in handing down the sentence Thursday, Sept. 21.

    “Mr. Porco’s message left black marks on a public bench but even after the words are scrubbed away with a guilty plea, it leaves stains that may be more permanent,” the judge said. “Mr. Porco’s message was both hateful and hurtful to the community and needs to be deterred.”

    Porco, 56, of Oshawa, pleaded guilty to a single count of mischief. He was arrested after Durham police began investigating more than a dozen incidents of someone scrawling “No More Muslims” in February and March of this year on Durham Region Transit bus shelters in Pickering, Ajax, Whitby, and Oshawa.

    Porco was caught “red-handed” by police conducting surveillance on a bus shelter, court heard. He was charged with multiple counts of mischief, but no hate crimes.

    After his arrest, Porco told police he felt people were “taking advantage of living in this country,” court heard.

    Porco’s defence lawyer, Paul Affleck, had lobbied for a term of house arrest. Justice Javed said Thursday the facts of the case warrant real jail time.

    The judge cited Porco’s lengthy criminal record, which includes convictions for criminal harassment and mischief, as well as a history of ignoring court-imposed orders as rationale for rejecting a conditional sentence.

    Also a factor is Porco’s failure to recognize the true nature of his behaviour, the judge said; Porco has apologized, but seems to think his offence is limited to vandalism.

    “What is plainly missing from the apology is any insight about his actions in choosing hateful words and any semblance of what effect his words would have on the community,” Justice Javed said. “It does not matter that he wasn’t charged with a specific hate crime, because this was a hate crime disguised as mischief.”

    Porco has been diagnosed with a delusional disorder with persecutory features, a finding the convicted man rejects, the judge noted. His mental health may have been a factor in his behaviour, “but I simply can’t be sure of this,” the judge said.

    Incidents of “bigotry and hate” appear to be on the rise in the region, the judge noted.

    “Mr. Porco’s message was clear: No More Muslims,” the judge said. “There can be no other rational inference to be drawn except that he targeted a segment of the community based on religious grounds.”

  10. VoA – As Germany Vows to Speed Integration, Refugees Unfazed by Rise of Far Right

    The influx of more than a million asylum-seekers into Germany in 2015 is widely seen as driving the upsurge of the anti-immigrant Alternative for Germany or AfD party, which gained 13 percent of the vote in Sunday’s election. The government hopes to stem that rise by integrating the refugees as quickly as possible. Henry Ridgwell visited Berlin and spoke to some of the newcomers about their experience settling in Germany and their feelings over the success of the AfD.

    “Boko Haram’s ongoing insurgency in northern Nigeria has forced the closure of more than 57 percent of schools in Borno state, leaving about 3 million children without an education as the school year begins, the United Nations Children’s Fund said Friday.

    “Children in northeast Nigeria are living through so much horror,” said Justin Forsyth, UNICEF’s Deputy Executive Director at the end of a three-day visit to Maiduguri, the epicenter of the crisis in the northeast.

    “In addition to devastating malnutrition, violence and an outbreak of cholera, the attacks on schools is in danger of creating a lost generation of children, threatening their and the country’s future.”

    Banki, on the border with Cameroon, has been reduced to rubble. The continuing insecurity in the town of some 40,000 refugees means that women gathering firewood from the forest must be accompanied by soldiers, said Forsyth.

    The flight ban has so far been the most significant escalation amid heightened tensions, largely marked by threats from Baghdad and neighboring countries, following the controversial referendum on support for independence held by Iraq’s Kurds Monday.

    Hundreds of passengers lined up in the hours before an Iraqi government order that international airlines halt all flights in and out of the cities of Irbil and Sulaimaniyah in Kurdish territory kicks in Friday.

    “A Somali military official says at least 10 people have been killed in an attack on a military base Friday by the Islamic extremists of al-Shabab.

    Col. Mohamed Mumin said nearly 60 militants and a suicide car bomber targeted the army base in Barire in Lower Shabelle region leading to fierce clashes.

    In a radio broadcast Al-Shabab claimed a higher death toll, saying that its fighters killed 23 soldiers and have taken over the base. The group also claimed that its fighters seized seven pickup trucks.

    Despite losing most of its key strongholds to the Somali army and the regional forces of the African Union, al-Shabab has ramped up its campaign against the Somali government in recent months, largely targeting army bases across the country.”

    “A suicide bomber blew himself up outside a mosque in the Afghan capital on Friday, killing five people and wounding 29 others, authorities said, in the latest attack to target the country’s minority Shiites.

    Mohammad Salim Rasuli, chief of Kabul hospitals, confirmed the fatalities from the attack, which came as worshippers were leaving the Hussainia Mosque in central Kabul following Friday prayers. Police officer Abdul Rahman said the attacker blew himself up on the street about 1,000 meters (1,094 yards) from the mosque.

    Police official Sadiq Muradi said police confronted the attacker as he came through a checkpoint near the holy site, calling for him to stop. But that’s when he ignited his explosives, blowing himself up.

    Mir Hussain Nasiri, a member of Kabul’s Shiite clerics council, told The Associated Press the attacker was disguised as a sheepherder.

    Mohammad Ismail, police chief of Kabul’s 10th district, said a second person suspected of involvement was in custody.

    They held banners in German and English urging the end to “multikulti”, short for multi-cultural Europe, a reference often used in Estonia to describe Germany’s society.

    “We do not accept (EU refugee) quotas,” EKRE chairman Martin Helme told The Associated Press. “Germany, Merkel and Macron and Juncker cannot tell us who should be allowed to Estonia and who not.”

    “I don’t think there should any immigration from the Islamic countries” to Europe, he said.

    So far only some 80-100 refugees have been placed into Estonia under the EU’s refugee quota.

    Tarik Chadlioui, 43, is wanted in Spain for recruiting Islamic State terrorists, where he could face 20 years in jail, and moved to the UK from Belgium two years ago.

    He is alleged to be the spiritual leader of the jihadist network that inspired Omar Mostefai, one of the Bataclan bombers who killed 86 people in Paris in November 2015. He has also previously been linked with Anjem Choudary, the infamous convicted British hate preacher, The Times reports.

    Mr. Chadlioui was one of six people arrested across Europe in June, and Spanish authorities allege he made three pro-jihadi videos for extremist forces in Syria during two visits to Mallorca in 2014 and 2015.

    He appeared at an extradition hearing in Westminster Magistrates Court on Thursday, wearing Islamic dress and using an Arabic translator. His barrister claimed the defendant “is an anti-terrorist”.

    “He has uploaded thousands of videos to YouTube,” barrister Malcolm Hawkes said, according to the BBC. “This is what he does, he is an anti-terrorist preacher.” Mr. Chadlioui has more than 17,000 subscribers.

    He has eight children in the Sparkhill area of Birmingham, aged between 4 months and 18 years old, and the city has become a popular destination for fundamentalist Muslims fleeing burqa bans in other parts of Europe. The nearby neighbourhood of Small Heath is 95 per cent Muslim.

    Mr. Chadlioui is also contesting his extradition on the basis that it is “a clear interference with his right to a family life” under Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights.

    Mr. Hawkes said: “It’s disproportionate, therefore, to seek his extradition at this stage. It’s a clear… interference with his right to a family life. For these reasons I would urge you to discharge this warrant.”

    Senior district judge Emma Arbuthnot adjourned judgement until Tuesday. Mr. Chadlioui was remanded in custody.”

  24. ulian Assange Says He Will Provide Evidence Russia Narrative Is False in Exchange for Pardon
    By Debra Heine September 28, 2017

    WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has offered to provide evidence that the Russian collusion narrative is false in exchange for a pardon from President Trump.

    The president, apparently, has not yet gotten the message. On Saturday, President Trump told reporters that he has “never heard” of Assange’s offer to make a deal.

    Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-Calif.) told The Daily Caller that Trump is being blocked from knowing about the potential deal with Assange. “I think the president’s answer indicates that there is a wall around him that is being created by people who do not want to expose this fraud that there was collusion between our intelligence community and the leaders of the Democratic Party,” Rohrabacher said.

  25. Dem addiction to Trump attacks gives party cause for concern

    Democrats are linking Republican gubernatorial candidates to President Trump in New Jersey and Virginia, two states won by Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton in last year’s presidential election where the attacks could drive base voters to the polls.

    But some Democrats are concerned about their party’s strategy.

    Even if Democrats win the two contests, they say it could give the party a false sense of confidence that attacking Trump is the best way to win the House and Senate in 2018.

  26. Armed military to replace cops on Danish streets and border

    Starting Friday, armed soldiers from the Danish Armed Forces (Forsvaret) will replace police officers at both Denmark’s southern border to Germany and at potential terror targets in Copenhagen.
    According to the Danish National Police (Rigspolitiet) and Copenhagen Police, 160 soldiers will patrol the border and take over guard duties at Jewish institutions including the Great Synagogue in central Copenhagen.

    The synagogue has been under constant police protection since a Danish-born terrorist of Palestinian descent shot and killed 37-year-old Dan Uzan, a volunteer security guard, outside the building in February 2015. The gunman, Omar El-Hussein, had earlier in the night opened fire with an automatic rifle outside a cultural centre hosting a free speech event, killing 55-year-old Finn Nørgaard and injuring police officers. El-Hussein was later shot and killed by police.

  27. S. Korean Banks Prepare For Possible Pulse Attack From N. Korea

    South Korean banks are preparing for the possibility of an electro-magnetic attack from North Korea.

    The country is seeking to establish data centers overseas after a series of North Korean cyber-attacks against its financial infrastructure.

    Officials say North Korea could be preparing an electro-magnetic impulse attack in the form of either a nuclear blast or a pulse weapon, which could cripple Seoul’s economy.

    Existing regulations prohibit banks from sending client data overseas, but South Korean banks are asking the government to change the rules.

  28. The First Casualty of Culture War is Free Speech
    Standing for the anthem is the new counterculture.

    Don’t like millionaire black nationalists in the NFL refusing to stand for the anthem?

    Too bad! It’s freedom of speech.

    The same left that decided James Damore didn’t have freedom of speech at Google now insists that football players have it at the NFL. Never mind that the Google engineer was unknown until his firing while NFL players are celebrities whose behavior is televised nationwide to audiences of millions.

    The left’s recent reunion with free speech came after vocally insisting that free speech was harmful, hurtful and racist. And the reunion didn’t last long. Right after insisting that the right of NFL black nationalists not to stand for the anthem was free speech, the left pivoted to accusing those players still standing for the anthem of “white supremacy”.

    • Right after insisting that the right of NFL black nationalists not to stand for the anthem was free speech, the left pivoted to accusing those players still standing for the anthem of “white supremacy.

      And by doing so, the Left continues to make the situation of (“flyover”) Middle America into a no-win situation. What few Liberals seem to recall is that consigning your opponent to a no-win outcome makes it so they have nothing to lose.

      A foe who has nothing to lose is the most dangerous of all. These obsessed Liberals have lost sight of who owns all the guns and what happens when all of their options are removed.

      There is no “happy ending” in this situation. At least, not for the unarmed Liberals.

      • The way one retired Green Beret put it was, “Our side has 9 trillion rounds of ammo, your side can’t decide which bathroom to use.

    • Grandpa has four wives
      A Sharia bringer

  30. OT/ Well, this is it.
    Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks explains: The Most Personal of Festivals

    …Rosh Hashanah, the anniversary of creation, is about what it means to be human under the sovereignty of God.

    But Yom Kippur is about what it means to be me, this unique person that I am. It makes us ask, What have I done with my life? Whom have I hurt or harmed? How have I behaved? What have I done with God’s greatest gift, life itself? What have I lived for and what will I be remembered for?

    To be sure, we ask these questions in the company of others. Ours is a communal faith. We pray together, confess together and throw ourselves on God’s mercy together. But Yom Kippur remains an intensely personal day of conscience and self-reckoning.
    […]
    At no other time, barring exceptional circumstance, will we be as close to God as on Yom Kippur. We fast, we pray and we muster the courage to face the worst about ourselves. We are empowered to do so by our unshakeable belief that God loves, forgives, and has more faith in us than we do in ourselves. We can be better than we are, better than we were. And though we may have stumbled and fallen, God is holding out his hand to lift us, giving us the strength to recover, endure and grow to become the person He is calling on us to be: a blessing to others, a vehicle through which His light flows into the world, an agent of hope, His partner in the work of redemption.

    Faith is the courage to take a risk, as Abraham and Sarah took the risk of following the call to leave their land and birthplace to travel to an unknown destination, as the Israelites did when they began their journey into the desert, an “unsown land.” To be a Jew is to take the risk of believing that the evils of this world are not inevitable or irremediable; that we can mend some of the fractures of humanity; that we, by loving others as God loves us, can bring the Divine presence into our lives, turning a little of the prose of the human condition into poetry and song.
    […]
    The greatness to which God is calling us, here, now is “not in heaven nor across the sea” but in our hearts, minds and lives, in our homes and families, our work and its interactions, the tenor and texture of our relationships, the way we act and speak and listen and spend our time. The question God asks us on this day is not, “Are you perfect?” but “Can you grow?”

    There are three barriers to growth. One is self-righteousness, the belief that we are already great. A second is false humility, the belief that we can never be great. The third is learned helplessness, the belief that we can’t change the world because we can’t change ourselves. All three are false. We are not yet great but we are summoned to greatness, and we can change. We can live lives of moral beauty and spiritual depth. We can open our eyes to the presence of God around us, incline our inner ear to the voice of God within us. We can bring blessings into other people’s lives.

    And now, in absolute humility, we turn to God, pleading with Him to seal us in the book of life so that we can fulfil the task He has set us, to be His ambassadors to humankind.

  32. “”A man who hurled anti-Semitic abuse at Jewish people on their way to synagogue has avoided a prison sentence.

    Glenn Okafor confronted members of the Jewish community in Stamford Hill, east London on March 4, shouting ‘f*** you Jewish people’ and told the group ‘you lot should go back to your own country’.

    The 32-year-old also told worshippers: ‘We will sort you out. I have friends. I’ll be back tomorrow. We will wipe you out.'”

    Alexander Gluck, who was also walking to synagogue, said he heard the commotion and was approached by Okafor, who made ‘some really aggressive’ comments.

    He said the defendant told him ‘we are the real Jews’ and threatened ‘I’ll wipe you out’.”

    “Okafor’s defence claimed he had been engaging members of the community in a ‘theological debate’ and had not made racist comments.

    Giving evidence during his trial, Okafor told the court: ‘I approached a Jewish man or a man of the Jewish community just to ask them a few questions about the origin of Judaism as it’s something I have been looking into.’

    He said two other Jewish people interrupted, angry at the conversation taking place, causing the interaction to become ‘heated’.”

  33. Russian Influence Op Included Fake Black Nationalists
    September 29, 2017
    Daniel Greenfield

    The trouble with demanding an investigation is that you might not like what you find.

    For over a year, the Dems had bet everything on trying to explain Trump’s win as a Russian influence operation. But the investigation has gone to some interesting places. Like Russian ads pushing Bernie Sanders and race riots.

    A network of Twitter accounts suspected of links to Russia were used this weekend to stoke the controversy over whether NFL players should stand for pregame performances of the national anthem, The New York Times reported late Wednesday. The accounts pushed both sides of the debate, using hashtags such as #boycottnfl, #standforouranthem and #takeaknee, the newspaper reported.

    The left started with the premise that these kinds of tactics were a covert plot to support Trump or opponents of Islamic migration. But that premise died hard once it became clear that the Russians were exploiting a variety of causes across the left-right spectrum for their influence operation.

    And the Russians were working the black nationalist side of the street (and have since the first days of the USSR.)

  34. Nolte: CNN Reports Russian Facebook Ads Promoted Black Lives Matter

    At long last, we appear to finally have some proof that the Russians interfered in American democracy. Before some of you get too excited, there is still zero proof of any collusion between the Russians and the Trump campaign. There is still zero proof the Russians in any way “hacked the 2016 election.” There is still zero proof the Russians changed a single vote in 2016.

    According to CNN, though, what we do have proof of is that in late 2015 and early 2016, the Russians used Facebook ads to promote Black Lives Matter.

    Moreover, the report also says that the Russians’ overall goal in Ferguson and Baltimore was pretty much the same as CNN’s overall goal in Ferguson and Baltimore — to stir up division and chaos.

    Here is CNN’s own Wednesday night report (emphasis added):

  35. The Second Coming of Christic
    Crackpot leftist conspiracy commandeers the big screen.

    Run an internet search for American Made, which opens Friday, and this summary pops up:

    “Barry Seal, a TWA pilot, is recruited by the CIA to provide reconnaissance on the burgeoning communist threat in Central America and soon finds himself in charge of one of the biggest covert CIA operations in the history of the United States. The operation spawns the birth of the Medellin cartel and almost brings down the Reagan White House.”

    So the Medellin cartel, and by extension the cocaine trade, was a creation of the United States, which used the profits to fight communism. That is the “true story” behind the new film, which has been rebadged.

    The project started as Mena, the Arkansas airfield where the CIA supposedly dropped off the drugs, and Ron Howard signed on to direct and Tom Cruise to star. Producers changed the title to American Made and brought in director Doug Liman, who teamed with Cruise in Edge of tomorrow

  36. ITALY – Al Qarawiyyin Professors to Teach at Italian University’s New Islamic Studies Program

    Rabat – Professors from Fes’ Al Qarawiyyin University will be giving courses in Sharia and Islamic tradition to students of Islamic Studies in Italian University of Siena.

    The Italian University of Siena opened a new major for the training of imams, the first of its kind in Europe. The courses will be operational starting in the 2017-2018 academic year.

    The two universities signed a partnership agreement on Tuesday, September 26 for the launch of a training branch for imams in the Faculty of Humanities and Civilizational Communication of the Italian University.

    “This is to train imams able to defend the authentic image of Islam,” the president of Al Qarawiyyin, Amal Jalal, told Maghreb Press Agency (MAP) after the signing ceremony.

    Teachers from Al Qarawiyyin will provide classes in the areas of Sharia and Islamic tradition, fiqh al-mouâmalat (Islamic jurisprudence), civilizational communication, and the history of religions. They will teach Sharia in the Arabic language for Islamic Studies majors, while other students will be able to take courses in French or English, he said.

    In addition to classes in fiqh and Sharia, imam students will receive instruction from Italian teachers in humanities, law, social, and economics.

    The studies in this branch will last three years. Graduates will receive a diploma similar to the one issued by the Institute Mohammed VI for the teaching of imams, morchidines, and morchidates.

    Last April, the Union of Mosques of France had announced the opening of a training institute in France, by the beginning of 2018.

  37. ITALY – Protesters Clash With Police at Rally Against G7 Ministerial Meeting in Turin

    hose protesting against the labor and employment ministers’ meeting of the G7 states, ongoing in the Italian city of Turin, reportedly engaged in clashes with the police and took over the local university building.
    ROME (Sputnik) — The group of demonstrators included students as well anarchists and anti-globalists, according to La Repubblica newspaper, showing that the protesters were shouting the slogans “We will take back our city” and “We are the giants, and you are the seven dwarfs.”

    The protesters reportedly tried to break through the police cordon to reach the hotel where the G7 ministerial meeting is underway, however, police responded by beating the demonstrators with batons.

    The newspaper reported that two people had been detained while several others had been injured as a result of the scuffles.

    As a sign of protest against the workers’ exploitation, the activists reportedly blocked the access to one of the local supermarkets. Also, the retail outlets in central Turin closed subsequently, according to reports.

    The clashes have led to unrest with the protesters flipping trash bins and throwing eggs on the building of the General Confederation of Italian Industry, the media outlet said. The demonstrators subsequently reached the Turin University campus and took it over, declaring the building the headquarters of the future protests, planned for Friday night, according to the newspaper.

    The meeting of labor ministers from Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States, is being held on Friday and Sunday as part of the 2017 Italian presidency of the G7.

  38. Update on German Elections

    By Richard Allan, VP Public Policy EMEA, Facebook Ireland

    There’s been great interest in the role of the internet in the German elections last weekend. Now that the campaign is over, we want to give you an update on Facebook’s efforts to help defend the integrity of the elections.

    The leading political parties used our platform to engage voters. Chancellor Merkel used her Facebook Page to share key moments from her election campaign, and Martin Schulz of the Social Democratic Party shared a story about a young refugee that he met who went on to get an apprentice position. These kinds of interactions brought voters closer to the candidates and supported more informed conversations about the election.

    After reports of foreign interference in the run-up to the US and French presidential elections, we also worked closely with German officials on a number of initiatives to fight disinformation and make Facebook a safer and more secure environment for genuine civic engagement.

    Promoting Authenticity. To prevent people from misusing our platform, we announced a new push to remove fake accounts by spotting suspicious patterns of activity. In the month before the election, we removed tens of thousands of fake accounts in Germany.

    Encouraging an Informed Electorate. To fight false news and support healthy civic discourse, we tested Related Articles, which gives people easier access to different perspectives, and used machine learning to reduce clickbait and spam, including in videos.

    To help voters understand the parties‘ policy positions, we provided a tab where political parties on Facebook could set out their position on key issues. When someone clicked on an article about the federal election in their News Feed, they were given the option to compare the major political parties‘ perspectives. People were also able to explore the parties‘ positions on key issues, gaining exposure to a diverse set of viewpoints.

    We also launched an Election Hub experience where people could see which candidates were on the ballot. The day after the election, we launched an in-app notification inviting people to find and follow their newly elected representatives.

    Supporting Government Election Security Efforts. Facebook co-operated closely with German authorities, such as the Federal Office for Information Security (BSI). We provided training for members of Parliament and candidates on online security issues. We also set up a dedicated reporting channel for the BSI for issues related to security and authenticity in the context of the federal elections.

    Helping To Understand The Election Results. On election night, we supported national and international media partners such as El Pais, Funke Mediengruppe, RTL Nieuws, T-Online and others who reported on the voting and provided context on the results via Facebook Live using facilities in our Berlin office.

    These actions did not eliminate misinformation entirely in this election – but they did make it harder to spread, and less likely to appear in people’s News Feeds. Studies concluded that the level of false news was low. We learned a lot, and will continue to apply those lessons in other forthcoming elections.

    Protecting the integrity of our platforms during elections is a huge focus for us and something we are committed to – particularly in the face of hostile and co-ordinated interventions. Staying ahead of those who are trying to misuse our service is a constant effort led by our security and integrity teams. As Mark said last week, we don’t want anyone to use our tools to undermine democracy.

    To help strengthen both the internet and digital elections infrastructure as a whole, we will expand our partnerships with election commissions around the world. We already work with electoral commissions in many countries to help people register to vote and learn about the issues. We’ll keep doing that, and now we’re also going to establish a channel to inform election commissions of the online risks we’ve identified in their specific elections.

    People want to see accurate information on Facebook and so do we. This is an ongoing effort – which is why we are doing everything we can to promote information security and permanently fight false news. As long as there are people seeking to disrupt the democratic process, we will continue working closely with our partners — in government and in civil society — to defend our platform from malicious interference. We’re grateful for the co-operation of our partners in Germany and beyond, and committed to supporting open and fair elections across Europe and the world.

    Witnesses said that men wearing Islamic dress gathered in Seven Kings near Ilford at 7.45pm.

    Two men repeatedly shouted Allahu Akbar into a microphone while playing gunshot sounds at volume on a speaker.

    A witness, who asked not to be named said: ‘I was alarmed, I didn’t know what was going on. When someone shouts Allahu Akbar while playing gunshot sounds on a speaker it is deliberately trying to alarm.

    ‘There was a lot of commotion with a big group shouting and cheering whenever the men got closer with the speaker.’
