Sign at Wegmans draws attention
Another ‘one way street’ for Islam. I for example, am uncomfortable dealing with Muslims because of their, ‘kill all the unbelievers’ policy among a thousand other objectionable things in their religion. But I can’t see Wegman’s replacing this cashier with one I am comfortable with on my account even though the reasoning is identical.

It’s a first for Wegmans in this area. They’ve put up a sign asking customers buying pork or alcohol not to use a particular checkout line when a Muslim teenager is on duty as the cashier.
The sign went up a week ago at their Lyell Avenue store.
Wegmans says they haven’t gotten any in store complaints and Wegmans was very upfront about the cashier. They just wouldn’t allow us in the store to talk with her or customers.
Spokeswoman Jo Natale says the cashier is a teenaged girl who wears a head covering. She told her supervisor she was uncomfortable handling those items because of religious reasons. So the store manager who had experience with this type of situation outside of Rochester decided to put up a small sign whenever the girl was at the checkout counter.
It says, “If your order contains pork or alcohol product, we respectfully ask that you choose another lane.”
Wegmans also says the girl has been coached what to say if customers ask why. People News10NBC spoke with outside the Lyell Avenue Wegmans store said they were okay with it and one even knows Christians who don’t like the idea of serving alcohol.
Bernard Thomas said, “I feel like if they’re going to hire her and she’s got to have the job, why shouldn’t we respect her. Just go to another cashier.”
Darlene Hucko said, “I would respect her beliefs and go to the next line if I had alcohol.
Levato said, “You think that’s okay.”
Hucko said, “I think it is okay.”
REPORT: George Galloway returns to Westminster wins unprecedented landslide in Bradford West
George Galloway, new MP for Bradford West, in front of the Muslim Brotherhood's banner
George Galloway the shill for Saddam Hussein, the supporter of Hamas, the Islamists’ friend, has been returned to Westminster as an MP after a landslide shock by-election victory of truly unprecedented proportions.
The 53% vote increase his Respect party took in tonight’s result represents the largest EVER increase of a vote in Westminster parliamentary history. His over 10,000 majority, is about as comfortable as any MP could ever want.
Bradford West’s demographics are startling. The Islamic tipping point has been passed, so that the Muslim population dominates every aspect of culture, identity and politics, regardless of actually only consituting 43% compared to the 53% of indiginous whites. These are however 2001 census figures (!). Bradford West, is Europe’s future.
This startling result is a powerful representation, both of the rapidity with which Muslim populations can swell in the blink of an eye, and, of what a block vote can accomplish if an ethnic group votes together for one candidate. This is a thing ethnic Europeans have long since ceased to do, so successful has been the campaign of divide and rule, through accusations of “divisive” politics against nationalists.
Indeed had a credible nationalist candidate stood in the by-election you can be sure that the whole media would have swooped down on them demanding to know how they would even pretend, as MP, to represent the diversity of the “whole” community. You can bet nobody will dare to raise this question now in Bradford West, and that territory and the ethnic English it contains, like London’s Tower Hamlets must – in all seriousness, and without a trace of hyperbloe – be considered lost to the Dar al-Islam.
QUESTION: How did George Galloway win Bradford West?
ANSWER: By successfully claiming to be a better Muslim than the Muslim Pakistani Labour candidate in what has always been a safe Labour seat!
Mr Galloway has for years been darkly hinting that he is a secret Muslim, as this video demonstrates, while acting with incredulity towards anyone who would dare to be impertinent enough to ask him to come clean.
It is very important to fully understand what this historic result represents. In response Michael Coren has tweeted, that the “Bradford vote proves UK Muslims care about Islam, not Britain. Culture war – denial increasingly futile.” In fact it means much more than this, and two key things are profoundly and undeniably proven by this result.
The first, and here I am thinking of the incredulity that greeted Kent Ekeroth from all sides over the subject in this interview posted by Eeyore earlier today, is that this result must finally dismiss any last vestige of skepticism over the reality that Europe is being Islamised.
It is important to be clear. A white Scotsman born a Roman Catholic, has just won a respounding victory in Europe against a Pakistani Mulsim Labour favourite, precisely because he convinced the local populace that he was a more active/pious/true Muslim than the person he was against. This is Islamisation crystallizing politically before our very eyes, in inglorious technicolour.
The left wingers did what has always worked in the past, and are now scratching their heads in incredulity and astonishment. They accused everyone else of racism, but then played the race card with consumate skill. To them, on paper at least, their candidate in the safe Labour seat, was perfect. A locally born 33-year old barrister and Pakistani “Muslim”, Imran Hussein, who had chaired the local Labour party for years, and was deputy leader of the council.
There was one crucial difference, Mr Hussein is a moderate Muslim, a secular Muslim, a reform Muslim, that is, not a real Muslim at all.
Just like the French “Muslim” paratroopers killed by Mohamed Merah in France only two weeks ago, that are supposed, in the ignorant minds of liberals, to refute the self-evident truth that Merah was driven by Islam.
Because what Mr Galloway did – in a constituency in which he had never set foot before – against a Labour party with 100 times his financial resources, was simply to post, with the use of the electoral roll, the following letter through the letterboxes of the Muslim households of Bradford West, a week before the polls opened:
I have been increasingly angered by the dishonest and desperate efforts of the Labour campaign for Imran Hussein, to deceive you about your vote. You should vote for him because he is a “Muslim” they say, and because he is of Pakistani background. … God KNOWS who is a Muslim. And he KNOWS who is not. Instinctively, so do you.
The second thing this thumpingly declares, is a deafening clarion call against the repeated shibboleth of the entire political establishment of Europe, that criticism of Islam must necessarily be racist in character.
the letter that won Bradford West
In the public sphere the issue of Islam is not religious, not ideological, not one of a dangerous foreign dogma that seeks to dominate wherever it goes – so they keep telling us. It is one of identity, victimisation, colour, and the powerless being repressed by the racial bigotry of ethnic Europe.
If that had even a modicum of truth in it, Labour’s sure-fire bet would have come off handsomely, and Mr Hussein would now be preparing to take his seat in Westminster.
(CLICK TO READ “THE LETTER THAT WON BRADFORD WEST”)
It is now beyond denial that Islam has nothing whatsoever to do with race and only does so from the Muslim’s side when it is a convenient stick with which to beat conscessions out of the foolish European kuffar.
Finally, spare a thought for the likes of Matthew Goodwin, who is regarded as Britain’s supposed foremost authority on political extremism. Naturally, like his colleagues Europe-wide he is a committed Left-winger, obsessed with “Rightist-under-the-bed” plots, and the imminent certainty of a far-Right attempt to take over Europe through the barrel of a gun.
If the BNP win 40 votes in a parish council by-election it is the end of the world, 12 members of the EDL protest outside a chip shop and it is empirical proof that a Breivik copy-cat is just hours away from striking evil in the heart of Ashby-de-la-Zouch.
Because it is the duty, of people like him and his colleagues, to warn us of the intense dangers of political extremism and the fascist ideologies that are inexorably tightening their grip.
You can guarantee that for the next week, just like the last week when little Jewish girls were being gunned down in the streets of France, Goodwin and all his kind in politics, media, and the police, will be nowhere to be seen.

The Murderer Merah as a Victim and Hero
By Manfred Gerstenfeld
Politically correct European elites and many Muslims have jointly created the perception that all Muslims are victims of the West. Consistent flawed reasoning and false arguments have made this possible.
On the basis of the fake ‘victimhood’ platforms created over the years, whitewashers of the murderer Mohamed Merah are constructing new false images. It is difficult to deny that the three French soldiers, a Jewish teacher and three children whom he killed are victims. Once having paid tribute to them, whitewashers began to turn the brutal murderer into a victim as well.
Among the most intelligent Merah apologists is Tariq Ramadan, a Geneva-born Professor of Contemporary Islamic Studies at Oxford. He first whitewashed Muslim anti-Semite Merah’s worldview. He eloquently wrote that “Merah was a misguided youngster in whose thought there were no values of Islam or racist and anti-Semitic ideas.” The next step was to turn Merah into a victim. In Ramadan’s words, Merah was “a poor guy, guilty and to be condemned undoubtedly, even if he himself was a victim of a social order which had already condemned him and millions of others to a marginality and a non-recognition of his statute of citizen with equal rights and chances.”1 Ramadan thus transformed Merah into a non-racist, non- anti-Semitic victim of society, whose ideas had nothing to do with any Muslim current.
GLOBAL news indulges in some first rate moral and cultural relativism.

Once again the MSM attempts to whitewash Muslim barbarity.Yup just like the Bible, except for that honour killing thing. If this were a Christian Book you can bet Global would be peeing themselves with glee.

FOX NEWS: SSgt. Robert Bales v. Maj. Nidal Hasan — a breathtaking hypocrisy
Two serving US soldiers go on gun rampages which result in the death of innocents.
Staff Sgt. Robert Bales is a veteran of three Iraqi tours and was serving on his fourth Afghan tour when he snapped. Throughout his career he has probably contributed to the saving of many, many Muslim lives. Twenty times the number of infidels (read, supposed comrades-in-arms) no doubt, that Major Nidal Hasan shot dead at Fort Hood.
Hasan is likely to seek a defense of “Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder” even though he, unlike Bales, has never seen active service. In contrast, Bales is to be charged with war crimes, which have irreparably inflamed Afghani/US tensions; whereas the Pentagon – at the White House’s insistence – has classified the Fort Hood massacre as “workplace violence”.
In other words while Hasan screamed “Allahu Akbar” as he pumped round after round into his colleagues, he was being no different than a disgruntled postal worker. And crucially, as this Fox News video confirms, the media has happily collaborated in “de-contextualising” the one case while insistently and pointlessly contextualising the other.
So in the desperate search for any “motive” that might explain these horrific incidents, the fact that Hasan had business cards on him saying, “Soldier of Allah” which he had printed up before his killing spree: is not deemed in the slightest bit relevant. But the fact that Bales sought a life in the Services after his business went belly-up over a decade ago? Ah there’s all the explanation you need…
“No one is stating the obvious. France has been occupied all over again.”
There is a very, very powerful essay over at Darren Greenfield’s blog comparing how and why Jewish children were hunted down and killed in France in the past, and how and why they are being so now.
from Sultan Knish
The New Nazis
There was a time when Jewish children were hunted down and killed in France. Their killers believed themselves to be members of a superior group that was destined to rule the world and enslave or exterminate members of inferior groups. The cowardice and appeasement of the French authorities allowed them to operate freely, to kill Jews and launch attacks on other countries.
What was then is now again. The occupying army doesn’t wear uniforms, it wears keffiyahs. It doesn’t speak German, it speaks Arabic. It doesn’t believe that it is superior for reasons of race as much as for reasons of religion. It does not view all others as Untermenschen, but as infidels. It looks forward not to a thousand year Reich, but to a thousand year Caliphate.
Mohammed Merah did not chase down a French-Jewish seven year old girl, put a gun to her head and pull the trigger because he came from an economically depressed area or any of the other media spin. He was only doing what Muslims had been doing to non-Muslims for over a thousand years. He didn’t do what he did because he was “radicalized”, he did it because he became a fully committed Muslim.
It won’t end with taking down one man and it won’t end with Jewish children. When your ideology believes that it is in a zero-sum struggle with the rest of the world and that membership means that you are a superior breed of human being because you worship the Fuhrer or Allah, then it won’t stop. It won’t ever stop. Not until the figurehead is toppled, the creed is humiliated and the supermen are shown to be cowards, neurotics, pedophiles, insecure men dressing up their weaknesses in power fantasies.
Between all the non-stop coverage, the expressions of grief, the political pandering, no one is stating the obvious. France has been occupied all over again. Once again the occupation has been carried out with the consent of the authorities who have decided that cowardice is the only way. Vichy France has become Vichy Europe, Vichy America, Vichy Australia, where the blatant appeasement is disguised as honor, treason is portrayed as responsible leadership and collaboration in the mass murder of your own people is never acknowledged as such…
…That simple undeniable fact is denied by government, in every university and in every center of culture. And every one of those deniers has blood on his hands.

Sarkozy (and media): “The Muslim faith has nothing to do with the insane acts of this man”
This graphic by Bosch Fawstin beautifully sums up the French President's cowardice. See more of Bosch's work at fawstin.blogspot.com
From the time the perpetrator of the Toulouse massacre turned out to be a jihadist, there’s been a concerted effort by the Lamestream media to shove the entire incident under the carpet – noticed it?
Whereas before, when they happily concluded a “right-winger” must be responsible, every effort was made to tar Marine Le Pen with responsibility so that the media’s Left wing chums in French politics could benefit from these deaths; now it’s an irrelevant aberation by a diseffected and alienated “French citizen” – and of course, “nothing to do with Islam.”
Where are the press flow charts, the impressive graphics, the fine-tooth-comb examinations of the killer’s “manifesto”, the weeks of lengthy essays by “extremism specialists” pointing to malevolent “worldwide networks” that followed the Breivik slaughter?
There’s been none of it! Just a silent attempt to shoosh everything away and return the populace back to more important matters like reality television and celebrity bra sizes. We’ve been doing our best over here at Vlad Tepes to counter this, and the good folk over at JihadWatch have been putting up a valiant fight too.
Here for example, is an absolute tour de force from Dr Spencer:
from JihadWatch
Imam Sarkozy on Toulouse jihadist: “The Muslim faith has nothing to do with the insane acts of this man”
Muhammad Merah’s murders had everything to do with Islam: he claimed affiliation with al-Qaeda and may have trained with the Taliban, both of which are explicitly and ostentatiously Muslim groups that justify all their actions by reference to the Qur’an and Sunnah. He claimed to be a mujahid, which is a warrior of jihad, which is an Islamic theological and legal concept.
He killed Muslim soldiers who fought in the infidel military — something that only someone who considered one’s loyalty to the umma to trump all other loyalties would have done. So grounded is Merah’s massacre in Islam that it is virtually inconceivable that he would have carried it out had he not been a Muslim.
And so Sarkozy is, like every other leader in the West, whistling in the dark, trying to pretend that there is no problem when there is a huge problem, and basing the future of his nation on the fantasy that the overwhelming majority of Muslims in France do not believe the same things Muhammad Merah believed…

Personally I think the way to beat these anti-civilization commies is to change nothing for earth hour. Ignore it. If you actually turn stuff on for that hour you are still letting them effect you in a way which is no different than actually turning the lights out and obeying these morons and hypocrites. But I understand Ezra’s point.

Lancashire chip shop forced to remove ‘gaudy’ Union Jack sign
Click Lancashire
by Lauren Riley. Published Fri 16 Mar 2012 09:38
The owners of a Lancashire fish and chip shop have been forced to take down their Union Jack sign, as it was described as “gaudy” and “too busy”.
Lesley Salthouse and her husband Peter, who have run Naze Lane Chippy in Freckleton for almost 25 years, were told the sign was not in keeping with the village.
The sign has a simple Union Jack flag in the middle, with two St George’s flags on either side.
The couple lodged a planning applicaton after a single complaint trigged the council to take action, but it was denied.
They then took their case to the planning inspectorate in Bristol, but they were again rejected.
Lesley, 53, was furious at the decision and said: “We are an English fish and chip shop, yet we cannot even use our own flag to celebrate that.
“There is nothing more traditional than a Union Jack flag and our patron saint of England is St George so why not have that flag on either side of our sign?
“If you go to Spain or Portugal you see their national flag in so many bars and restaurants.
“You see more national flags abroad than in our own country, which I think is really sad.”
Freckleton Parish Council approved the planning application, but it was Fylde Borough Council that denied it on the basis that the design was “oversized and gaudy with too many angles, triangles and colour”.

How an hour spent smoking trendy shisha pipes is as harmful as a HUNDRED cigarettes
h/t Bear:
The Daily Mail:
PUBLISHED: 17:01 GMT, 14 March 2012 | UPDATED: 20:52 GMT, 14 March 2012
Hubbly-bubbly, hookah or shisha – whatever name it goes by, puffing on a Turkish waterpipe is the latest trend to hit British bars and cafes.
The flavoured tobacco, which is smoked via a long pipe connected to a vessel filled with water, is particularly fashionable among young people, with the number of specialist bars rising 210 per cent since 2007.
But the World Health Organisation has warned that a one-hour shisha session can be as harmful as smoking 100 cigarettes.
Trend: Zaky Ali ,40, owner of Marhaba Cafe in Birmingham, with a hookah pipe for smoking shisha, which is becoming more popular among the young. But experts warn it can do more damage than cigarettes because users take more puffs of smoke
This is because a cigarette smoker typically takes between eight and 12 puffs, inhaling 0.5 to 0.6 litres of smoke.
But during hour-long shisha sessions smokers may take up to 200 drags, ranging from 0.15 to 1 litre of smoke each.
‘Shisha smoking is a growing concern because people aren’t aware of the risks like they are with cigarette smoking,’ says Professor Robert West, director of tobacco studies at University College London.
‘The greater the exposure in terms of duration and amount smoked, the greater the risk to your health’
That’s because although shisha tobacco tastes nicer than cigarettes, it contains all the same toxicants known to cause lung cancer and heart disease.
Risk: Smokers typically take in 12 puffs on a cigarette compared to up to 200 for hookah pipes
Among the risks are heart disease, respiratory problems, lung and mouth cancer and problems during pregnancy.
‘Smoke from tobacco contains a number of carcinogens which damage the DNA in cells,’ explains Professor West. ‘Just one damaged cell can divide and multiply uncontrollably and quite quickly develop into a large tumour. This is what causes lung cancer,’ explains Professor West
Enthusiasts claim that as the smoke passes through water most of the harmful chemicals are absorbed, however there is no evidence to support this.
‘If people think it’s safer than cigarettes, when it’s not, they need to be informed otherwise,’ said Professor West.
There are other risks. As the mouthpiece is passed around from person to person, this raises the risk of transmitting diseases such as tuberculosis and hepatitis.
The waterpipe has been used to smoke tobacco for centuries, primarily in Africa, Asia and the Middle East.
A rise in travel to countries such as Egypt and Turkey has seen the pipe transported to the UK.
The waterpipe is heavily sold as a souvenir, and is popular with tourists who like to take it back home as a gift or decorative object.
The waterpipe can also be purchased in various shops in London for as little as £20, with shisha tobacco costing £5-£10.
The tobacco is burned with charcoal in a bowl that sits above the vessel.
The smoke it produces passes through the water in the container and goes down the pipe so the user can sit by the vessel and an inhale it with their mouth.

Nicolas Sarkozy ‘received £42 million from Muammar Gaddafi for 2007 election’

Nicolas Sarkozy received £42?million from Muammar Gaddafi in funding for his 2007 presidential election campaign, it was claimed on Monday.

The “terms” for handing over the money were agreed in a meeting between the two men in Libya two years before Mr Sarkozy’s election, documents published by a French investigative website suggest.A memo obtained by the Mediapart site and handed to a judge alleges that the meeting on Oct 6, 2005 resulted in “campaign financing” of “NS [Nicolas Sarkozy]” being “totally paid”.
At the time Mr Sarkozy was France’s interior minister with well-documented ambitions to succeed Jacques Chirac. Political financing laws ban candidates from receiving cash payments above €7,500 (£6,300) but Mediapart claims that €50?million mentioned in the memo were laundered through bank accounts in Panama and Switzerland.
The Swiss account, it is alleged, was opened in the name of the sister of Jean-Francois Copé, the leader of Mr Sarkozy’s ruling UMP party and one of the most active campaigners for his re-election.
The memo claims that “ZT”, believed to be an arms dealer called Ziad Takieddine, known to have close ties with several of Mr Sarkozy’s most loyal aides, was “in charge of arrangements”.
It also mentions “several previous meetings” between Mr Takieddine and Saif-al Islam Gaddafi, Gaddafi’s son and former heir, who last year claimed that Libya had funded Mr Sarkozy’s election. Continue Reading →
