1. CATHOLIC FURY OVER SACRILEGE AT ST. JOHN FISHER’S CATHEDRAL

ROCHESTER, England (ChurchMilitant.com) – English Catholics are expressing outrage after the Church of England installed a nine-hole golf course in the medieval nave of Rochester Cathedral, turning it into a “den of golfers.”

 

England’s second oldest cathedral after Canterbury opened its “educational adventure golf course” on July 27 to give people “the opportunity to learn while they take part in a fun activity, in what for many might be a previously unvisited building,” the Rev. Rachel Phillips, canon for mission and growth, said.

 

But former editor-in-chief of the Catholic Herald, Damian Thompson, blasted the Cathedral’s decision, tweeting: “St John Fisher, Bishop of Rochester, went to his death rather than watch his cathedral fall into the hands of greedy iconoclasts. I suspect he would rather see it lie in ruins than experience this fate.”

2. Bill613.com: Jewish man physically assaulted in Montréal

OUTRAGEOUS. This past Sunday [July 28, 2019], a Jewish man was physically assaulted in Montréal. The incident occurred at the 4 towers condos in Ville St Laurent. Security footage shows a taxi (#1258 of Taxi Champlain) drop someone off near the entrance to the condo’s garage.

 

He then waits, blocking the garage entrance. Aaron* (name changed per request) was visiting his elderly parents who own a condo in the building. He parked his white car in a spot that wouldn’t block anyone and waited for an outdoor spot to become available. As he waited, he watched as a car driven by a Jewish man wearing a Kippah pulled up behind the taxi and honked. According to Aaron, the driver of the taxi shouted, “I won’t move for any f***ing Jews!” He then told Aaron to move his car. Aaron, who was in his car facing the taxi, asked the driver to please move for the vehicle behind him, and told him that he could get the message across without using insults. According to Aaron, the driver immediately started shouting in English and Arabic (two languages Aaron speaks).

 

“I’ll never move for you f***ing dirty Jews! I’m going to f***ing kill you!” At that point a parking spot opened and a female supervisor from the condos motioned that Aaron should park. He pulled into a spot and decided to snap a photo of the taxi’s number so he could report the antisemitic tirade to Champlain Taxi. As soon as he snapped a picture the driver stormed out his taxi and began physically assaulting Aaron. He reportedly shoved Aaron against a car, put him in a headlock, and punched him in his chest and face at least ten times before the parking supervisor intervened. Aaron is a short man and the driver was tall and well built. The driver allegedly kept shouting antisemitic slurs and threatening to murder Aaron as he beat him. He also smashed Aaron’s phone on the ground, breaking it.

 

The woman who intervened was also reportedly struck by the taxi driver who only left after another taxi driver told him to stop. After the attack, Aaron went to his parents, bleeding and in terrible pain. He later visited the hospital due to massive pains in his chest area. A police report has been filed and a complaint has been lodged with Taxi Champlain. B’nai Brith Canada has also been notified.

(No idea why they notified B’Nai Brith. They are about as islamophilic as every leftist Jewish group.)

3. Police investigate horrific attack in London’s West End that left soldier in smart mess uniform with fractured skull, cheekbone and eye sockets

(And it only took the media 7 months to get around to reporting on this!)

Police are investigating a horrific attack in London’s West Endthat left a soldier in smart mess uniform with a fractured skull, cheekbone and eye sockets.

The shocking assault took place earlier this year on January 31.

 

Scotland Yard said the 28-year-old soldier was targeted on Haymarket, at the junction with Coventry Street, near Piccadilly Circus Tube station, at about 3.20am.

His injuries were so severe he required “extensive surgeries” to correct, police said.

Police have issued a CCTV image of a man they want to trace in connection with the attack.

In a statement, the force said: “Detectives have issued a CCTV image of a man they wish to speak with in connection with this incident. Can you name him?

(One might wonder if the attacker said things during the attack that might lead to motive but would not go with the pro-islamic narrative. NO mention of it in the article. Which almost certainly means there was)

5. Germany: Pub Pensioner Blinded By Somali Who Shouted Allahu Akbar

This 75-year-old man has been blinded in one eye by a Somali who shouted “Allahu Akbar” and repeatedly punched him as the pensioner walked home after playing dominoes in his favourite pub.

 

The pensioner, identified as 75-year-old Detlef J., had just visited his regular haunt ‘Oki’s Bar’ in front of the train station in Offenburg, a city in the south-western German state of Baden-Wuerttemberg, when the horrific attack took place.

 

On his way home after a fun night playing a game of dominoes with pals, a man suddenly attacked the unfortunate pensioner for no apparent reason.

 

A witness saw how the man “beat the pensioner on the ground” while shouting “Allahu Akbar” (Arabic for “God

allah is great”).

(Either there was no apparent motive or he shouted Allah ackbar. It CANNOT BE BOTH!)

6. Settlement wines cannot be labeled ‘Made in Israel,’ Canadian court rules

Pro-Palestinian activists cheer as Federal Court says current marking of Shiloh and Psagot wines as Israeli products is ‘false, misleading and deceptive’

Canada’s Federal Court on Monday ruled that wines produced by Israelis in the West Bank can no longer be labeled as “Made in Israel.”

 

Challenging a previous decision by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, Judge Anne L. Mactavish determined that labels describing wines made in the settlements as Israeli products are “false, misleading and deceptive.”

 

In her ruling, she did not take a position on how exactly such wines should be labeled, saying this was for the Canadian Food Inspection Agency to decide.

7. Republican engineer who was fired by Google after sharing ‘disrespectful’ posts on internal message boards slams the tech giant over its alleged ‘blacklisting and bullying’ of conservatives

A Republican engineer has claimed that he was fired by Google because of his conservatives views. 

 

Kevin Cernekee, who was fired from the company in 2018, said he was the victim of ‘bullying’ by other employees of the tech giant once they realized he was a Trump supporter. 

Cernekee told The Wall Street Journal that he and other right-leaning employees were also the subject of the alleged mistreatment. 

 

‘There’s a big political angle, and they treat the two sides very differently,’ he told the newspaper. 

‘Historically, there’s been a lot of bullying at Google,’ he added.

Cernekee claimed it all started in 2015 after a few posts on the company’s internal message boards angered some of his colleagues. […]

8. Germany’s top court upholds ban on anti-Erdo?an poem

Germany‘s highest court has upheld a ban on large sections of a satirical poem which mocked Turkey‘s President Recep Tayyip Erdo?an.

 

The Federal Court of Justice, the highest German court for civil and criminal law, on July 31 rejected an appeal by comedian Jan Bohmermann and upheld the previous verdicts by a local court and a higher regional court in Hamburg.

 

Bohmermann sparked uproar in 2016 with his controversial poem, which was widely criticized for being racist and abusive, exceeding the limits of freedom of expression.

Erdo?an‘s lawyers had filed a complaint against the comedian.

 

The Hamburg court ruled in 2017 that many passages in the poem breached the Turkish leader’s personal rights. It prohibited the German comedian from repeating certain sections of the poem, which included racial stereotypes, sexual references and insults.

 

While underlining the significance of artistic freedom and freedom of expression, the court concluded that certain parts of Bohmermann‘s work exceeded the limits of permissible criticism.

(I dont know why Germany even pretends to have freedom of speech)

9. ISWAP killed ‘dozens’ of Nigeria and Chad troops near Baga in July 29 clashes

Fierce clashes between a regional military force and Islamic State West Africa Province fighters near Baga in northeast Nigeria’s Borno state left 25 soldiers and at least 40 insurgents dead, two military sources and a militia leader told AFP on Thursday, August 1.

 

ISWAP fighters launched a dawn attack on Monday against a base near Baga in the Lake Chad area, setting off fierce gun battles that killed 20 Nigerian and five Chadian troops, the sources said.

 

“The terrorists killed 20 Nigerian troops and five Chadian soldiers in the intense fight in which soldiers killed 47 of the terrorists,” a military officer told AFP.

The head of a local anti-jihadist militia confirmed the military death toll and put ISWAP losses at “more than 40.”

Thank you C., Wrath of Khan, Richard, M., and many more.

Today has been a major editing day. I hope the fruits of that work will be available to you all soon. I had the privilege of editing a presentation by Dr. Andrew Bostom which crushes all the nauseating apologetics of people who try and claim that antisemitism is not intrinsic to islam. In fact the truth is, Nazism likely took some of its antisemitism from islam. I will post this as soon as able.
