Interview with David Harris former Chief of Strategic Planning for CSIS and current Director of INSIGNIS
Here is an interview with a man in a position to know what is going on with respect to Islamic terrorism in the world. He speaks of Iran, Hamas Spain and the soft Jihad. Sadly this is only about thirty percent of the total interview he gave as the sound quality was simply too poor on the first two thirds to be able to make one’s way through. In this last third he does make some very strong points about the truly grave dangers facing the western world, Canada and the USA in particular and the danger of unchecked immigration.
An article by David Harris is available here about the infiltration of Islam to the Canadian political mainstream.
David B. Harris is a Canadian lawyer, Director of INSIGNIS Strategic Research Inc’s International and Terrorist Intelligence Program, and former Chief of Strategic Planning of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS).
(Note from James Cohen)
“This show created some difficulty for me, not the least of which is the horrific nature of the information Mr. Harris gave and the severity and immediacy of the threat facing the western world and classical civilization itself, but because I never before have had to edit any show other than making the transitions from speech to music a little smoother but never for content. In this case as we had massive sound issues due to a number of new variables we introduced in this particular show, the first 2/3rds of the program are simply unlistenable and I felt that it would be better removed. However for those who would like to hear the entire file I will make it available as a download by request through email. You can understand the first part but it takes some focus. Anyone wishing to hear the entire show may email me at ja***@***************io.com and I would be happy to send you the entire thing. I wish to stress that no editing was done in order to change the context or nature of any information Dave Harris gave but because of the technical issues with the first parts of the show. Also, after we say good bye to Mr. Harris he brings up a rather excellent point at the end about how people who are preventing any real threat mitigation by demanding no loss of civil rights are very likely facing a situation where any civil rights are a distant memory for all of us and likely for a very long time.”

Muslims removed from flight. Another non issue which will go large.
(Here is an additional story by M. Zuhdi Jasser, The Muslim American who is the main voice in the most excellent film, ‘The Third Jihad’, a 1/2 version of which is available here on VTB. on the subject of the ‘flying imams’)
“Muslim passengers removed from AirTran Airways flight from Washington
Federal officials ordered all 104 passengers off the plane and re-screened them before allowing the flight to depart.
January 2, 2009 – 10:06
AirTran spokesman Tad Hutcheson says the airline strictly followed federal rules.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON – AirTran Airways says nine Muslim passengers were removed from a flight from Washington, D.C., to Florida after other passengers reported hearing a suspicious remark.
An AirTran spokesman says it was a misunderstanding. The Muslim passengers say AirTran wouldn’t rebook them Thursday and they had to pay for seats on another airline.
Passenger Kashif Irfan tells The Washington Post the confusion began when his brother remarked aloud that the plane’s jets were next to his window.
Two other passengers reported hearing what they considered to be a suspicious remark.”
Now why it doesn’t matter in some ways and does in others. One aspect of it has to do with conflicting sets of rules. Clearly airlines have rules that force them to remove anyone who make even the perception of a threat to a flight. This is logical and expected. We cannot make jokes about bombs etc. this is the new post 911 reality for all of us. Muslims of course are pretty much the number one perpetrator of threats and attacks on airlines for the past decade or more. As we do not see massive amounts of Muslims speaking out against it and we do see more and more Muslims arrested for threats to airlines from China to the UK and beyond, one can expect extra vigilance towards Islamic passengers. There are also other rules against discrimination of any kind especially when its reasonable. This reminds me of a story from Ottawa pre internet so I’m sorry I do not have a link. The Ottawa Citizen archives would have the story though if someone wanted to pay the $75.00 to get it.
At some point in the 80s an immigrant family from somewhere in East Europe took their roll of film (remember film?) to be developed at a photo shack somewhere in Ottawa. The pictures contained traditional bear skin rug pictures of a new baby the youngest addition to this family of as I recall, three or four children. At that time there was a general hysteria about child pornography so rules had been put in place removing any ability from various people to make reasoned judgment about what was or was not child pornography. The photo developer employee was obliged by law to report the matter to the police. The child, baby really, was naked in the photo and on a furry carpet. This was of course the custom for many cultures as part of the set of keepsakes one has of one’s children. The Cherub shot and as innocent as could possibly be. The employee knew this of course but he had to act. The police also knew this. But they also had to act. New rules had removed the ability for the police to use discriminating wisdom and the father was arrested, the rest of the children taken to children’s aid and the family destroyed. After a few months the matter was dropped of course once someone who still had the legal right to act on the obvious could make a call. The father was released but he had lost his job and was stigmatized as a child pornographer at this point.
If memory serves they moved back to Eastern Europe where they could enjoy freedom.
Here we can add one more layer of complexity to a similar case. While its true that one rule contradicts the other, airlines have to use judgment to remove any threat real or perceived and its illegal to do so if its against the group which carries the greatest threat. There is also the new trend of ‘lawfare’. Many Muslims will deliberately act in a way to cause some fear amongst the passengers and then sue for discrimination. This by the way is in the Al Queda handbook. It is a tactic. (Yes, the Islamic world understands us a great deal better than we understand them.) In this particular instance it is not known which of these variables apply. They could be perfectly innocent people who where inconvenienced by the perceived threat they posed. In my world they should thank the airlines for keeping us all safe and understand. It’s what most of us would do. So it should be interesting to see how they do react. My money is on a major law suit against the air lines which has happened a few times already in similar circumstances.
Should they elect to sue I offer this alternative.
Why not create an all Muslim airline? One which only has halal foods and always flies facing mecca? They can call it ‘Shaheed Air’. There might have to be some kind of special sharia insurance plan for it but I’m sure the Saudis would underwrite it. I even have an idea for the add. It’s one the Pakistani carrier used back in the day.
Repost. The U.N. condemns Israel for womens rights violations.
I had to repost this as I refer to it often in discussions about the UN. It is hard ti believe that the U.N. would single out Israel as the worst abuser of women’s rights on a planet filled with nations where women can be stoned to death for being raped. But they did. It’s so surreal that I need to keep a link handy or no one would believe it. Or perhaps they would. Not sure which is worse. Here is the article with links.

Women’s Rights at the UN: Israel as the Only Violator, Anne Bayefsky
Last Friday, March 9, 2007 the UN wrapped up its annual session of the UN Commission on the Status of Women. Guess where they found a violation of women’s rights? Among the hundreds of thousands of women who are dead, dying, mutilated, displaced or raped in Sudan? Among the million female migrant workers cowering in the basements of Saudi Arabian villas from the taskmasters who stole their passports the minute they got off the plane? Among the women stoned and hanged for “adultery” in Iran? The millions of women forcibly aborted in China? The thousands murdered or forced to commit suicide for the crime of “dishonoring” their fathers and brothers across the Arab and Muslim world?
If you guessed “none of the above,” then you’ll enjoy coming on down to the UN. The UN’s lead body charged with promoting and protecting women’s rights identifies only one state as violating the rights of women in the world today – Israel.(Violating the rights of Palestinian women.) The vote was 40 for and 2 against (the United States and Canada).
Germany, on behalf of the European Union, gave a one minute “explanation” excusing its affirmative vote. It said: “we express our deep concerns for the impact on all women in the region including the Israeli women” – although Germany did not insist such language be inserted in the resolution itself. For 60 seconds, the representative of the country where millions of Jewish women and girls were murdered en masse not so long ago took notice of the Jewish mothers and daughters who have fallen victim to terrorism in the Jewish state. This is the moral corruption that the UN breeds within democracies like Germany. In the United Nations, an institution owned and directed by the Organization of the Islamic Conference, the European Union grovels while the real abusers cheer.

DEAD Jews aren’t news, but killing terrorists outrages global activists. On Saturday, Israel struck back powerfully against its tormentors. Now Israel’s the villain. Again.
How long will it be until the UN General Assembly passes a resolution creating an international Holocaust Appreciation Day?
Israel’s airstrikes against confirmed Hamas terrorist targets in the Gaza Strip were overdue, discriminating and skillful. So far, this retaliatory campaign has been a superb example of how to employ postmodern airpower.
Instead of bombing empty buildings in the dead of night in the hope of convincing bloodthirsty monsters to become peace-loving floral arrangers – the US Air Force version of “Shock and Awe” – the Israeli Defense Force aimed to kill terrorists.
Israel’s attack aircraft appear to have accomplished that part of the mission. As I write, some 300 terrorist dead have been reported in Gaza, while the propaganda-savvy information office of Hamas has strug- gled to prove that 20 civilians died.
Given the fact that Hamas adheres to the terrorist practice of locating command sites, arsenals and training facilities in heavily populated areas, the results suggest that the IDF – supported by first-rate intelligence work – may have executed the most accurate wave of airstrikes in history, with a 15-to-1 terrorist-to-civilian kill ratio.
The bad news is that it still won’t be enough. While Israel has delivered a painful blow against Hamas, it’s still not a paralyzing hit. The only way to neuter such a terror threat – even temporarily – is to go in on the ground and scour every room, basement and underground tunnel in a region.
That would mean high Israeli casualties and, of course, condemnation of Israel’s self-defense efforts by every self-righteous, corrupt and bigoted organization and government on earth, from Turtle Bay to Tehran.
What have been Israel’s “crimes?” Not “stealing Palestinian land,” but making that land productive, while exposing the incompetence and sloth of Arab culture.
Israel’s crime isn’t striking back at terror, but demonstrating, year after year, that a country in the Middle East can be governed without resort to terror. Israel’s crime hasn’t been denying Arab rights, but insisting on human rights for women and minorities.
Israel’s crime has been making democracy work where tyranny prevailed for 5,000 years. Israel’s crime has been survival against overwhelming odds, while legions of Arab nationalists, Islamist extremists and Western leftists want every Jew dead.
But Israel’s greatest crime was to expose the global cult of victimhood, to prove that hard work, fortitude and courage could overcome even history’s grimmest disaster.
Was it a crime to hand Gaza back to Palestinian authorities, to give peace a chance? Look what Israel received in return for trading land for peace.
Let us never forget the fundamental truth that, while Israel longs to live in peace with its neighbors, those neighbors openly profess the desire to eliminate Israel and exterminate its people.
Indeed, Arab and regional jealousy toward Israel is so all-consuming, so necessary to excuse the Arab art of failure, that even these judicious airstrikes will hardly make a dent in the terrorist threat.
Unless Israel sends in ground forces for the long haul – and thousands of IDF reservists are being mobilized – there will be, at best, a temporary respite from terror attacks. Even a new occupation of Gaza would not fully solve the problem.
A crucial point about interfaith and interethnic conflicts that we sheltered Americans refuse to understand is that, all too often, there’s just no good solution – and not even a bad solution, short of acts of barbarism.
It’s a rare conflict that results in an enduring peace. Unintended consequences abound. At times, you fight just to buy time, to gain breathing space – or merely to frustrate an enemy’s designs for a limited period.
That’s the situation Israel faces: No hope of an ultimate victory, but a constant fight to survive. Enemies who believe their god ordains their actions can’t be placated. For faith-fueled terrorists, such as the core members of Hamas, the struggle with Israel’s a zero-sum game. Compromise is, at most, an expedient tool, never an acceptable end state.
What will we see in the coming days? Much depends on Israel’s resolve. The most probable scenario is that Hamas will continue launching terror rockets for a few weeks to salve its wounded vanity and maintain the image of “resistance,” but will ultimately reduce its attacks against Israel – while it rebuilds its cadres and restocks its arsenal.
Israel will have bought time, not peace.
What might Israel have done better? It’s essential to take out the top terrorist leaders. But Israel’s government remains reluctant to target the cowardly Hamas leaders hiding in Damascus – or even the top terrorists remaining in Gaza.
For terrorist bosses, the rank-and-file are disposable and replaceable. You can’t just kill the gunmen. You have to kill the names.
We may sympathize with the average Palestinian family, exploited by generations of corrupt leaders and now caught in yet another round of violence. But let us never forget that Israel hasn’t fired thousands of blind rockets into Palestinian cities, that Israeli suicide bombers don’t attack Arab restaurants and bus stops, and that Israel seeks to avoid harming civilians – while Hamas seeks to kill as many civilians as possible.
In a world where there are no good answers, Israel just answered as best it could. The world’s response? “How dare Jews defend themselves.”
Humanity doesn’t progress. It just changes clothes.
Taliban and accidental killing of school girls.
A few weeks ago or less, the Taliban issued a warning about music. That it would not tolerate the playing or performing of music in Afghanistan as it is against Islamic doctrine. Shortly after seven musicians ended up dead, apparently by accident. A few days ago, the taliban warned about females in school as thats also against Islamic doctrine. No woman or girl should be educated in anything except Koran. Now we see a massive explosion killing school children which the western press claims is also an accident intended to kill a group of tribal elders in a meeting.
When will the western press stop apologizing for barbarism?
This is not the first attack on school children this week.
In fact the frequency is increasing. The Taliban is reasserting itself in all fields it dominated before the war. Oppression of all people and the total subjugation of women and imposition of classical Islamic law as set out in Koran and the Hadith. The Taliban has a war on education in general that does not support Islamic views or allows for diversity of ideas which may threaten supremacy of the Taliban itself. This would be pretty much anything we would call education at all.
Maybe the press finds the whole thing so surreal they can’t report it right. This I might have some sympathy for. More likely they are crippled by official enforcers of political correctness which do not allow the blame to be placed where it should go. Islam and Muslims.

Lorne Gunter, Full Comment
Every year at about this time, there is a new batch of news stories detailing how the forces of political correctness and atheism are attempting to stamp out all public references to Christmas.
The same people behind turning your neighbourhood school’s Christmas concert into a Winter Family Festival would be appalled by the arrogance of any small band of Christians seeking to expunge all references to Diwali — the Hindu festival of lights — from public institutions in New Delhi or public mentions of Ramadan in Riyadh. Still, they cannot see the arrogance of their own attempts to impose minority secularist beliefs on the mainstream culture in Toronto or Regina or Halifax.
Typically, they explain away their actions as efforts to protect non-Christians from being offended by overt references to a distinctly Christian festival. But whether or not they will admit it, their campaigns are nearly always selfish attempts to shield themselves from messages and symbols they dislike. The feelings of non-Christians are typically nothing more than a cover. Continue Reading →
Brits, if you want to be Christian maybe you should go back to where you came from. Oh wait…
‘over zealous’ government employee tells family to remove offensive Christmas decorations’ While its good that Mr. Khan apologised and is looking into the matter, the direction for England is clear. Next year or the year after it will be Christians who have to apologize for offensive non Muslim activities. Maybe Christian British people should think about going back to their ancestral home. Oh… wait a minute….

Mother told to take down her Christmas lights… in case they offend her non-Christian neighbours
By Daily Mail Reporter
Last updated at 10:04 AM on 16th December 2008
A woman has spoken of how she was told to remove her Christmas lights by a housing association worker – in case they offended her non-Christian neighbours.
Dorothy Glenn decorates her home in South Shields with hundreds of festive lights every year, including a giant tree and a 4ft Santa Claus.
But she was left stunned this year when a South Tyneside Homes worker called at her house to inform her that the decorations she was displaying might be offending her neighbours.
Mrs Glenn outside her South Shields home with her neighbours. She was told to remove the decorations by a council worker in case they offended non-Christians
The association last night apologised to Mrs Glenn and insisted that removing Christmas lights was not part of their policy.
The 41-year-old mother-of-three said: ‘I put the lights up in the first week of November and then recently a uniformed housing worker was outside, and it looked like he was counting my decorations.
‘When I went outside he said that the lights were “offensive to the community”. If I was offending anyone I could understand why he was telling me, but nobody has complained.
Could someone please clone Vaclav Klaus and make him PM of Canada?
Some of you may already be familiar with Mr. Klaus. A man I consider to be perhaps the last reasonable leader of a nation state. Vaclav has repeatedly stood against hidden agenda laws by the U.N and E.U. with respect to ‘crypto environmental’ regulations concerning CO2 outputs as well as draconian legislation of the EU much resembling old Soviet era rules governing freedom of thought and so on. Vaclav has a book available here through Vlad’s store called ‘Blue Planet Green shackles’ on how leftists with an agenda of hate towards developed nations wish to cripple our various economies using the language of green and very very bad science or more accurately, religion disguised as science. “And lo the world shall be destroyed by hell fire for the sins of corporate man” sort of nonsense.
Below is a story from the Telegraph in the UK showing how Vaclav was chastised by Sarkosi, French president and current head of the EU for refusing to fly the E.U. flag over significant Czech buildings. It may be worth using the search field here on Vlad or in google for reports on how Mr. Klaus has publicly used reason at the UN to speak against IPCC reports and recommendations. I can say with some authority that most developed nations know the facts behind ‘global warming ‘ and CO2 emissions but are hog tied by political correctness and irrational leftists in their own bureaucracies and have to pretend at least to go along with this nonsense. Often the costs of this pretence is in the billions of taxpayer dollars but this is a paltry sum compared to the utter financial ruin should Canada for example actually attempt to comply with Kyoto etc.
Here is a video of Mr. Klaus speaking to the UN on Global Warming and the bias in favor of the man made global warming position in lieu of the science.
Here Vaclav is being beaten up by a useful idiot at the BBC part one. You can see where the BBC is trying to steer him. Of course the ‘Do you have grandchildren’ argument works equally well from the other point of view. They can be warm from CO2, or they can be enslaved by leftist anti corporate and anti westerners who want to shut down all modern industry.
Nicolas Sarkozy has sparked a diplomatic row by attacking the ‘wounding and outrageous’ refusal of the Czech president to fly a European Union flag from Prague Castle.
The French president sided with federalist Euro-MPs who are engaged in a bitter feud with Vaclav Klaus, the Czech president and a Eurosceptic.
Senior MEPs, including the president of the European Parliament, Hans Gert Poettering, caused a diplomatic incident ten days ago after demanding that Mr Klaus hoist the European flag over his residence during bad tempered talks in Prague.
“It was a wound, it was an outrage to see that flags had been taken down from public buildings,” said President Sarkozy, the current holder of the EU’s six-month rotating presidency which he hands over to the Czech Republic in January.
“Mr Poettering can count on the full support of the French president.”
Karel Schwarzenberg, the Czech foreign minister, hit back as the diplomatic war of words between Paris and Prague threatened to overshadow the smooth transfer of the EU presidency.
“There is no law binding the Czech Republic to hang the EU flag over Prague Castle. Prague Castle is a symbol of the Czech state and not the EU,” he said.
“It is not up to the head of another state to criticise the Czech president over flags.”
A statement from the office of Mr Klaus said: “The Castle is a symbol of Czech statehood. There is no reason to change this historic tradition.”
The row exploded when a delegation of Euro-MPs sarcastically presented Mr Klaus with the 12-starred flag, during a visit on Dec 5, knowing that he had ruled out flying the flag over Prague Castle.
He was especially angered when Dany Cohn-Bendit, a former 1968 student radical and the Franco-German leader of Green Euro-MPs, told him: “I don’t care about your opinions”.
Mr Klaus replied: “This is incredible. I have never experienced anything like this before.”
Nigel Farage, the leader of UK Independence Party, compared the EU flag demand to the behaviour of Nazi or Soviet officials, both dictatorships that had occupied Prague and its Castle in the past.
“The manner in which Cohn-Bendit demanded that President Klaus fly the EU flag over his castle could easily have been done by a German official of over 70 years ago or a Soviet official of 20 years ago,” he said.
“No doubt they think that Buckingham Palace should fly the EU flag to show its dominium.”

This is probably some anarchist or communist group. Muslim’s don’t warn anyone nor do they ‘forget’ the detonators. In fact it’s unlikely Muslim groups would use dynamite as they tend to prefer Semtex or improvised explosives. Since Russia’s emergence on to the world stage with the attack on Georgia we have seen them go back to funding every two bit rebel group from the FLQ in Quebec Canada to far right wing extremists in Germany. Russia as it’s no longer impeded by communist ideology is now free to fund any group at all that can keep a nation off balance and ideally a western NATO nation. So the story below seems suspiciously more Russian funded leftists than it does Islamic. When was the last time a Muslim terrorist warned about ‘Capitalist stores’?

Terrorists brought panic to the heart of Paris this morning after dynamite was discovered in one of the city’s most famous department stores.
Police evacuate Department store.
Thousands of shoppers and staff were evacuated from Printemps, the French equivalent of Harrods, following a warning from a previously unknown group calling itself the Afghan Revolutionary Front.
They had threatened to bring ‘death and destruction’ unless French troops leave Afghanistan.

The explosives were found in the washrooms of the menswear department shortly after the store was opened today.
Anti-crime brigades and de-mining teams were called in, and the store evacuated and cordoned off to prevent any harm to shoppers crowding the busy streets less than two weeks before Christmas.
British shoppers were among those caught up in the drama.

Below is a rather excellent article showing the true workings and agenda of police departments when it comes to dealing with immigrant crimes in western nations. In Canada and I believe many parts of the US the police have a term. It’s called ‘FIDO’. An acronym for ‘Fuck It And Drive On. This term is used when police see an immigrant gang committing a crime against indigenous people in Canada (in this case indigenous means white) and realize that the cost of doing what police are meant to do is too high. Likely the officers will be accused of racism so they ignore the crime in progress and face investigations and problems far in excess of what the criminals would face had they been charged. One Ottawa police officer actually killed himself when faced with these charges. This has become standard operating procedure in much of Europe and North America to the point where police are as likely to act against the victims actively as we see in Scandinavia instead of merely failing to protect victims of crime as in FIDO. Below see a story from the Netherlands showing how police lose evidence, provide bureaucratic obstacles to enforcing laws and other more pernicious means of failing to enforce the laws.

| Leading Newspaper Involves Moroccans in Rejecting ‘their’ Crime | |
| THE HAGUE, 13/12/08 – De Telegraaf, the country’s biggest newspaper, continues to draw attention to the problem of Moroccan teen criminals. On Friday, the newspaper chose the angle of a Moroccan entrepreneur alleging that the government is too politically correct to act against his criminal countrymen.
Jamal Jaadan (33), a Dutch-Moroccan businessman in the Amsterdam suburb of Weesp, has sounded the alarm, De Telegraaf reported. “Thirty young Moroccan delinquents are terrorising Weesp, but the politicians from the flower-power generation think that these louts can be guided back to the straight and narrow with a little pressure. And that is rubbish! Judiciary, cabinet, police: protect society from these scum,” Jaadan says in the newspaper. De Telegraaf has been hammering away for some months about the problems caused in the cities by Moroccan teenagers. The newspaper seemed to wish to make it clear on Friday that the passivity of the government, apparently to prevent the stigmatisation of the entire Moroccan community, is also criticised by Moroccans – at least some of them. Jaadan’s snack bar has been burgled three times this year. In one case, his entire safe was removed from the premises via the roof. In another, the snack bar was totally demolished. “No action was taken,” said Jaadan. “The police claimed they had lost the videotape showing the perpetrators. When the safe was stolen, I knew exactly where they should look for the thieves. The Moroccan community is like a village in itself. I gave the detectives the names, addresses, everything”. But the police made no efforts at all. “At a certain point, I put one of the suspects in my car and said, listen! Everyone knows you were involved. Tell the police about it now and your sentence will be reduced. I arrived at the police station with the boy and they told me they had no time for us! Later, a statement was taken after all. But the case was closed. Lack of evidence. What sort of signal do you give these louts with this weak attitude?” Jaadan did stress in De Telegraaf that 90 percent of the Moroccans in Weesp do not cause him complaints. “It is not a question of nuisance; that is something many youngsters cause. It is these criminals and the influence they have on the younger children. They are the ones who treat all their Moroccan friends to kebab after committing a theft. It gives them status. All these flower power politicians should realise that ‘joining in’ is something these louts have no wish to do.” “These problems must simply be named and tackled. I do not want my children to be called Moroccan with a negative intonation right up until the next century. We are Dutch and we too are fed up with these criminals.” |
Mark Steyn: Jews get killed but Muslims feel vulnerable
Mark Steyn: Jews get killed, but Muslims feel vulnerable
Shortly after the London Tube bombings in 2005, a reader of Tim Blair, The Sydney Daily Telegraph’s columnist wag, sent him a note-perfect parody of a typical newspaper headline:
“British Muslims Fear Repercussions Over Tomorrow’s Train Bombing.”
Indeed. And so it goes. This time round – Mumbai – it was the Associated Press that filed a story about how Muslims “found themselves on the defensive once again about bloodshed linked to their religion”.
Oh, I don’t know about that. In fact, you’d be hard pressed from most news reports to figure out the bloodshed was “linked” to any religion, least of all one beginning with “I-” and ending in “-slam.” In the three years since those British bombings, the media have more or less entirely abandoned the offending formulations – “Islamic terrorists,” “Muslim extremists” – and by the time of the assault on Mumbai found it easier just to call the alleged perpetrators “militants” or “gunmen” or “teenage gunmen,” as in the opening line of this report in The Australian: “An Adelaide woman in India for her wedding is lucky to be alive after teenage gunmen ran amok.”
Kids today, eh? Always running amok in an aimless fashion.
The veteran British TV anchor Jon Snow, on the other hand, opted for the more cryptic locution “practitioners.” “Practitioners” of what, exactly?
Hard to say. And getting harder. For the Wall Street Journal, Tom Gross produced a jaw-dropping round-up of Mumbai media coverage: The discovery that, for the first time in an Indian terrorist atrocity, Jews had been attacked, tortured and killed produced from the New York Times a serene befuddlement: “It is not known if the Jewish center was strategically chosen, or if it was an accidental hostage scene.”
Hmm. Greater Mumbai forms one of the world’s five biggest cities. It has a population of nearly 20 million. But only one Jewish center, located in a building that gives no external clue as to the bounty waiting therein. An “accidental hostage scene” that one of the “practitioners” just happened to stumble upon? “I must be the luckiest jihadist in town. What are the odds?”
British School cancels Christmas play to not conflict with Eid.

British School bumps Christmas into the New Year in order to Celebrate Muslim Eid
There is no doubt that the creeping infrastructure supporting the Islamization of Great Britain is stealthing being put in place. Clearly this is being greatly facilitated by the EU – elites. Just this week it was announced that 5,000 muslim halal butchers would be imported into the UK – leaving many to believe that before long all meat served – aside from pork- will have been halal slaughtered. Judging from a recent lawsuit – it may not be long before pork is greatly reduced or eliminated from the British diet. All of this is being done without the British people ever being given a vote or say regarding the government abetted Islamic destruction of their historical and culturally rich country.
One by one the British holidays and parades are being stopped to make way for Islamic holy days and related events. Regardless of England being the birthplace of the Church of England – non muslims are imposed upon by muslim rules – yes the British are expected to behave as muslims – including and especially children. Dhimmified Christian Church leaders have failed the British people.
Now comes the news that a British school cancelled its annual Christmas performances in order to make way for the celebration of the muslim Eid. Upset parents caused the school to reconsider and to offer up the ludicrous solution that the performances will occur – AFTER Christmas – in the new year. Christians can wait but clearly muslims are the priority and can not wait. Isn’t this like celebrating Good Friday on Monday?
