2. Indian Security Forces in Jammu and Kashmir Reportedly Gun Down Key Hizbul Mujahideen Terrorist
New Delhi (Sputnik): Amid ongoing tensions between India and Pakistan over territorial disputes, the newly-appointed Indian Army chief General M.M. Naravane on Tuesday urged soldiers deployed in the Kashmir region to remain “vigilant around-the clock”.
The Indian security forces have killed the commander of the proscribed militant organisation Hizbul Mujahideen, Harun Hafaz, during a gun-battle in Jammu and Kashmir’s Doda district, media reports quoted the Indian Army as saying.
While further details are anticipated, the announcement of the encounter was made by an Indian Army official. The gunned down commander was wanted for two terrorist activities – the murder of political activists & weapon snatching in Kishtwar District. Harun Hafaz was also an aide of Osama Javed, Hizbul Mujahideen commander, who was killed by security forces in Ramban district.
In another encounter on 12 January, the Indian army killed three militants, including a top terrorist of the militant outfit Hizbul Mujahideen. The encounter took place in the Gulshanpora area of Pulwama district in South Kashmir.

5. Interesting couple of minutes on debate over killing the Iranian general
(There is an old joke that goes, “How do you get a guitar player to stop playing? Put sheet music in front of him”. And how do you get a traitorous member of the US Democrats to stop defending America and freedom’s enemies? Give them a chance to show what they really are.)
6. Sweden: Islamic State Returnees Investigated for War Crimes
(The Swedish government should be investigated for letting them return. Seriously. The right of exit is an absolute democratic right. But nations equally have the right to deny entrance to people who are a threat. This is one of the very few points with which we disagree with President Trump. No state should be obliged to take back people who left to commit atrocities, burned their passports, threatened or murdered their citizens and swore to destroy your polities)
The Swedish Prosecutor’s Office has announced ten new investigations into Islamic State members who have returned to Sweden in connection to allegations of war crimes and crimes against humanity.
Prosecutor Thomas Ahlstrand made the announcement to Swedish media this week saying that National Unity Against International and Organised Crime was conducting the investigations against the suspects who currently live in Stockholm, Gothenburg, Malmö, and Bergslagen, broadcaster SVT reports.

9. Outrage as Non-Muslim Teachers Don Islamic Veils in Protest Against Local Ban in Sweden
While the teachers themselves interpreted their action as a token of solidarity with Muslim students, netizens minced no words, calling them “idiots” and suggesting they promoted the oppression of women.
Following a proposal by the right-wing Sweden Democrats, the municipality of Skurup in southern Sweden has introduced a ban on religious headgear in its primary schools and preschools. In protest, non-Muslim teachers chose to put on veils.
The ban, backed by the liberal-conservative Moderates and the local Skurup party, applies to both children and staff. According to the newspaper Aftonbladet, it “stirred up emotions”, as protests by Malmö’s Young Muslims and counter-protests were held outside Skurup’s town hall.
Tasnim Raoof, the chair of Malmö’s Young Muslims, suggested the ban was “racist” as it “denied Muslim women’s right to their bodies and their democratic freedom of choice”.

(I had to specify that the above tweet about suing Iran is probably a joke as it gets increasingly harder to tell)
5 & 8 Both show where the Dems are headed as does the Death to America meme, I wish the last one wasn’t so close to the truth.
