1. Leftist lawyers would say, “If you Rob a jewellery store, you must really really love jewellery and the theft is a compliment to the store and the store should not just give jewellery to the thieves but should subsidize them for their passion.
2. Hamas missiles land on home of brother of Hamas spokesman.
A rocket fired from Gaza on Friday evening towards southern Israel missed its mark and fell on the Beit Hanoun home of a Gaza terrorist.
The terrorist is the brother of Hamas spokesman Mushir al-Masri.
On Friday, Israel’s Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories, Major General Yoav Mordechai wrote on his Facebook page, “A rocket fired a short time ago from Gaza towards Israel harmed a residential building in Beit Hanoun. Once again, the terrorist organizations launch rockets at the residents of Gaza themselves.”
(There goes the entry to the US on a rocketry visa)
Santa Claus, Christmas trees and the colors red and green are examples of inappropriate “religious iconography” during the holiday season, according to a paper distributed during a “Respecting Religious Diversity” event at the University of Minnesota.
“Jewish Hanukkah” is targeted, too, with menorahs and the colors blue and white also described as being “not appropriate.”
“Consider neutral-themed parties such as a ‘winter celebration,’” the handout read. “Decorations, music, and food should be general and not specific to any one religion.”
It was part of a Dean’s Dialogues “Religious Diversity and Holidays” event within the College of Food, Agricultural and Natural Resource Sciences earlier this month, and was first reported on by the College Fix.
A BRITISH man arrested at the airport in war-torn Mogadishu said he was looking for “somewhere peaceful, sunny.”
“When I went I just wanted somewhere peaceful, sunny, you know, somewhere like Nairobi, sunny, nice, (where) people aren’t crazy.”
“Mombasa is a holiday mecca… Ideally I would have gone to Mombasa, and then probably overland to Kismayo… but I couldn’t get a ticket so had to do it the long, hard way,” he said.
Security forces are on the look out for foreign fighters with the hardline Islamists who are battling regional armies, African Union troops and government forces.
Britons form one of the largest foreign contingents in Shebab ranks.
5. Canada to block all summer job funding to pro-life groups.
(Because Canada just cannot be all Muslim fast enough without the kuffar getting lots of abortions.)
6. Bulgarian Parliament Moves to Criminalise Radical Islam, Support of Jihad, Sharia, Caliphate
(As great as this is, any rational and honest analysis of Islam would make it illegal nearly everywhere already without a single new piece of legislation, just like some new kind of MAFIA would be.)
The Bulgarian parliament has moved to criminalise the promotion of radical Islam, including advocating a caliphate, religious violence, and sharia law.
The legislature adopted the amendments to the nation’s criminal code aimed at tackling radical Islam on their first reading this Wednesday.
They were proposed by a nationalist electoral alliance called the United Patriots (UP).
Promoting any ideology of violence or one threatening the law and constitution of the nation could be punishable with one to five years in jail and a fine of around £2,000, the Bulgarian newspaper Dnevnik reports.
7. If anyone was uncertain of what ANTIFA really is…
(Yes. They are the Nazis.)
8. Saudi women get green light to drive trucks, motorbikes
(Ill reserve my cynicism. There is a chance the Saudis are genuinely trying to reform because they genuinely want to not have the US turn on the oil taps for themselves and they genuinely want US and Israeli help in stopping Iran from being a regional hegemon and a nuclear one at that.)
Female bikers and truckers may hit the streets of Riyadh next year, as the Saudi department of traffic confirms that women will be allowed to drive those vehicles following the passing of a royal decree in September.
“Yes, we will authorize women to drive motorcycles,” the Saudi General Directorate of Traffic (GDT) said in a statement Friday, adding that driving laws will apply equally to men and women with no special measures to single out women drivers, such as license plates.
9. Oxford Prof Attacked as ‘Bigot’ For Rejecting Post Colonial Guilt
Oxford Professor Nigel Biggar is the latest target of an attack from the identity politics-driven left, being set upon by campaign groups for failing to adhere to the notion of post-colonial guilt.
Prof. Biggar penned an article in the Times on November 30th entitled “Don’t feel guilty about our colonial history”, where he used historical facts to lay out the case against unrestrained guilt complexes often encouraged by social democrats and the political left.
Hardly uncritical of the mistakes of the British Empire, Prof. Biggar wrote:
Political order might seem like a very unexciting value, but without it nothing good can flourish. That’s why indigenous peoples sometimes chose to move into territories governed by colonial regimes, rather than away from them. Thus millions of Chinese took refuge in British Hong Kong during the early years of communist rule in Beijing, and especially the anarchy of the Cultural Revolution. What gave colonial rule popular legitimacy was not democratic elections but its provision of the goods of security and the rule of law. […]
10. Muslims Sue Butlin’s for Health and Safety Scarf Ban on Fairground Ride
A Muslim man is taking Butlin’s holiday camp to court claiming racial and religious discrimination, as his daughter was not allowed on a dodgems ride wearing an Islamic scarf covering her head and neck.
Butlin’s insists all loose-fitting garments near the head are banned, after an incident in 2016 when one got caught causing serious neck injury, and say the case has nothing to do with religion or discrimination.
Moammer Nasser, 41, from Birmingham, has launched a crowdfunding campaign aiming to raise £10,00 for his lawsuit, and enlisted the help of Liberty Law.
(This one is the most important of all of them. There have already been several cases of muslims being killed or injured because of loose clothing being caught in machinery. At least 2 cases in Canada in an escalator if memory serves. It is also reasonable to expect that there was a huge payout to the families and other people who have been injured because of flagrantly risky clothing under certain circumstances. So now we have a situation where you are guilty if you do not allow unsafe clothing and guilty if you do. We have seen this also in law suits against companies that forbade certain clothing in warehouses to conform to GOVERNMENT regulations. Specifically Toronto and specifically FEDEX. A settlement was reached. Which means the company that obeyed the law, had to pay to people who broke it.
Much like how a young male starting a new company is faced with a dilemma. Hire no women and be charged with discrimination, or hire women and expect his company to be destroyed because one of his employees asked for a phone number of one of the female ones.)
11. Ontario: Police arrest suspect in connection with Islamic-themed graffiti spree
(Fascinating lack of detail in this story. But I would believe it was an Islam-aware person attempting to enlighten the rest of us in a rather poor way)
12. Protesters hide in Ambulance to cause violence, Jerusalem US vs EU why do we care?
14. Did we do this one already? Police shoot someone who no one describes or names, at Amsterdam Airport who was felling stabby that day.
15. Canada: Muslim migrant with nine bombs strapped to suicide vest takes 13 hostages inside bank
Canada: Muslim migrant with nine bombs strapped to suicide vest takes 13 hostages inside bank
He wanted crystal meth and to talk with President Trump. “‘He is Middle Eastern,’ confirmed a police source. ‘I believe he’s originally from Egypt.’ One witness said there was no references to any religious or terror allegiances in the man’s rantings. The only thing political was the name ‘Trump.’”
Maybe this man was drug-addled or genuinely insane. If so, taking hostages and strapping on a suicide vest was still well within his cultural frame of reference. And so that is what he did.
“WARMINGTON: Vaughan hostage taker wore suicide vest, demanded to speak with Trump,” by Joe Warmington, Toronto Sun, December 14, 2017:
Demanding to talk to United States President Donald Trump, the 25-year-old man had nine bombs strapped to a suicide vest, a detonator in one hand and a gun in the other.
And he was threatening to use his entire arsenal inside an RBC branch — at the corner of Major MacKenzie Dr. and Dufferin St. in Vaughan — where he had up to 13 hostages Wednesday.
“He was waving his gun around,” said a person who was on the scene. “He was not demanding money. He asked for no money. He said he wanted crystal meth and he wanted to talk to Trump.”
(Now lets be fair. Anyone who has dealt with the Royal Bank knows how frustrating that can be. So he could be anyone. And add to that this was in Toronto, and there is at least a 9% chance that he was not a muslim.)
16. Austria’s chancellor-in-waiting Sebastian Kurz rejects EU’s mandatory migrant quotas
(Fantastic. Maybe now they can get rid of the kabob stands at the Gates of Vienna)
Austria’s incoming right-wing chancellor Sebastian Kurz joined eastern and central European countries on Friday in backing EU President Donald Tusk’s rejection of mandatory refugee quotas.
Tusk called the troubled scheme “ineffective” and “highly divisive”, in a letter to EU leaders before a summit in Brussels that entered its second day Friday.
Eastern European states like Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic, which have refused to take part, agree with Tusk but other including Germany and Greece do not.
“Tusk is right when he says that mandatory migrant quotas in the EU haven’t worked,” said Kurz, 31, who is expected to replace centre-left Chancellor Christian Kern next week.
17. Exodus: Jews Flee Paris Suburbs over Rising Tide of Anti-Semitism
French-Jewish families are being forced from their homes in Paris suburbs as Europe continues to be convulsed by levels of anti-Semitism not seen since the end of the Second World War.
The Paris commuter newspaper 20 Minutes documents an “internal exodus” during 2017 of Jews from the Seine-Saint-Denis department, saying it is emblematic of broader concerns that French Jews, like their brothers and sisters across Europe, are finding it increasingly difficult to reconcile their faith with the changing demographics of the continent.
Thank you Richard, M., Yucki, Johnny U., EB., Wrath of Khan, and a lot of wonderful people who both get it, are willing to inform others, and have the courage to do so. Thank you for reading and contributing. The discussions in the comments are critical I think to understand where things are at, as well give us a chance to test drive ideas to the extent that is still legal.
Please continue to do so. This is the only planet we have and there is no where to run this time. The communists and Muslims have it sorted out. Leave no escape. Start the fires everywhere at the same time. This gives us precious few options and frankly, its literally illegal to discuss any that would actually work.
A couple of other things of personal interest:
This is a highly entertaining and depressing talk by Douglass Murray
For quite a while I was begging people to get and read, or download and listen to, Stephen Pinker’s excellent book, The Blank Slate.
Here is the author discussing it on Ted.
This is the only planet we have and there is no where to run this time.
The nice thing about space travel, with luck it would give us places to run to.
6 – Given what was written about the law doesn’t it really outlaw all of Islam?
9 – I refuse to feel guilty about things I didn’t do, if my ancestors did them that is their problem not mine.

#10 As you state in your comments to the article there have been injuries on amusement rides due to scarves and loose clothing.
I recall an incident a few years ago regarding this very issue at a small amusement park called Playland in Westchester county NY. A Muslim organization in NYC was making arrangements to visit Playland en mass and therefore be given a reduced admission price along with having some picnic areas set aside for them, etc. This is all very normal for large groups. However, the park stipulated certain rides that they would not allow those with scarves and loose clothing to go on. The Muslim group was in an uproar, it made the news and I think they (the Muslims) sued the park for discrimination. Playland held fast and the Muslims lost out.
This caught my attention because as a pre-schooler we lived close to the park and the ultimate fun was to be taken there by our parents. I remember it fondly.
It was also interesting because here you have a business that operates potentially dangerous rides that want your business but consider certain types of dress to be a hazard. Wouldn’t you take their word for it? Or, is one more Muslima strangled by her religious/political garb just collateral damage…
