EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS – France’s junior minister for EU affairs has said to the European Commission: “This is not how you speak to a major power like France,” following stinging comments on Roma expulsions by EU justice commissioner Viviane Reding.

Focusing in on the commissioner’s remark on Tuesday that “this is a situation I had thought Europe would not have to witness again after the Second World War,” the French politician said on Wednesday (15 September) that Ms Reding’s “unseemly” remarks in effect compare France to the Nazi regime.

“A plane ticket to one’s country of origin in the European Union is not a death train, and is not the gas chamber,” he said, according to Radio France. “This kind of slip … is not acceptable.”

“This is not how you speak to a major power like France, which is the mother of human rights.”

A spokesman for the French foreign ministry had earlier said Paris was “astonished” by Ms Reding’s statement. “We don’t think that this kind of declaration will help improve the predicament of the Roma, who are at the heart of our concerns,” spokesman Bernard Valero said.

The head of Mr Sarkozy’s UMP party in the National Assembly, Jean-Francois Cope, speaking on Canal Plus also dismissed Ms Reding’s comments as “baseless accusations” and suggested the EU commission had “ulterior motives.” Continue Reading →

Interesting video showing some attitudes about Barry Soretoro or whatever the presidents name is

Early in this video, a black American alludes to some deception done by MSNBC, deception which I have come to see is fairly common with that organization, and I will post the video of that specific thing he refers to directly below. It is, in case you have seen it before, the clip where MSNBC changes a black patriot into a white racist in order to cast aspersions on the tea party movement.

It is part of a Pajamas Media Bill Whittle 12 minute clip on the history of political correctness called, ‘The Narative’ and in my opinion, is one of the most important 12 minutes of video anyone could ever see. So please watch it anyway and pass the link far and wide.

I really hope morons like the guy in the first video, stop and think about the victims in the second and third

TROP has a link over to Weasel Zippers showing a smug, rat tailed useful idiot that stole a Koran from some guy in a park to stop the guy from burning it. He now appears to be high on both whatever it is he takes to make him cut his hair that way, as well as enough sanctimony to make masturbation an act of love.

I think it bears mentioning, that the Koran is the sole source of inspiration for the acts in the videos below. Of course, it is also the inspiration for countless horror of length and breadth too large to even dent in this humble blog let alone post. For example, Mohamed’s prohibition on adoption so that he could have sex with his adopted son’s wife alone has cost untold misery to orphans in the Islamic world beyond imagination. But in terms of contemporary horror, and burning of things…

How about homes of Christians in Muslim nations…..

And of course, people. (This clip has been posted on Vlad a few days ago, and it is harsh harsh harsh so be warned and also forgiven if you do not feel the need to see this clip for a second time)

While the west debates burning Korans, the Islamic world continues its genocide

A few days ago, Vlad published a movie of Christians being burned alive and beaten for being not Muslim. This got exactly no MSM attention of course. Neither does this:

I wonder if Petraeus and NATO, Obama, the mayor of NYC or any world leaders will bother to say anything about any of this.

It seems the US military is of two minds when it comes to burning holy books.

It is very hard to not write something really trite here at Petreus. I mean he felt it was necessary to speak out when one Christian Pastor wanted to have a Koran burning on 911 to make a point but the military itself here is burning bibles to appease Muslims in Afghanistan? Something really really stinks here. When do we get to fight back?

Police say it’s ‘very possible’ attacks near fairgrounds had racial overtones

By TOM ALEX • ta***@***eg.com • August 24, 2010

Des Moines police are trying to determine what led to a series of attacks outside the Iowa State Fairgrounds over the weekend that included the assault of two police officers.

At least three people were arrested Friday through early Monday morning. Other arrests may occur as officers investigate the incidents, officials said.

There are indications that some of the fights – which appear to involve mostly teenagers and young adults – were racially motivated, police said.

“We don’t know if this was juveniles fighting or a group of kids singling out white citizens leaving the fairgrounds,” Sgt. Lori Lavorato said. “It’s all under investigation, but it’s very possible it has racial overtones.”

Officials announced last week that they were stepping up security outside the fairgrounds after a series of attacks Aug. 14 that included a pair of stabbings. Investigators are still investigating those assaults and victims intend to pursue charges.

audio AUDIO: Des Moines Police Sgt. Richard Schuett describes a situation near the Iowa State Fairgrounds Sunday night in which he and other officers were attacked.

Sgt. David Murillo stated in a report on Friday night, “On-duty officers at the fairgrounds advise there was a group of 30 to 40 individuals roaming the fairgrounds openly calling it ‘beat whitey night.’ ”

Jammie Carroll, 36, of Polk City, was seriously injured in the 3000 block of East Grand Avenue Friday night after a group of people beat him up, causing severe injuries to his eyes, cheekbones and nose, Murillo wrote. Carroll is white, and many of the suspects are black, police said.

State Rep. Ako Abdul-Samad, D-Des Moines, who has worked to fight gang-related violence, said he doesn’t have enough information to decide if the fights were racially motivated. He said police comments that race was involved could miss other factors, such as nonracial taunting.

Coming August 31: ‘Direct Access’ Stimulus Grants for the Muslim Brotherhood

From Christine Brimm @ Big Peace

Think of it as ACORN reborn, with a slice of Jihad on the side.

On August 31, this coming Tuesday, the Muslim Brotherhood-associated “Coordinating Council of Muslim Organizations” (CCMO) will bring 25-30 Muslim leaders of 20 national Muslim groups to attend a special workshop presented by the White House and U.S. Government agencies (Agriculture, Education, Homeland Security, Health and Human Services etc.) to provide the groups “funding, government assistance and resources.”  The workshop will apparently provide special access for these Muslim Brotherhood organizations: the organizers pledge to provide “direct access” and “cut through red tape.” Government and Muslim groups will hold an Iftar dinner (breaking the fast of Ramadan) after the workshop.

muslim brotherhood

The event was announced in an email newsletter sent August 27 by the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation terrorism finance trial, long associated with the Muslim Brotherhood, the global Islamist network (great backgrounder here from Hudson Institute).   Here are three key paragraphs from the email (the entire article on the August 31 event from the ISNA email is pasted below this post as reference):

This year, a phenomenal next step has been made where government iftars become coupled with workshops to provide resources and benefit the Muslim community. The US Department of Agriculture (DOA) and the Coordinating Council of Muslim Organizations (CCMO) have paired the first of such events, scheduled for August 31, 2010.

…Leaders from Muslim organizations around the nation, particularly social service organizations, are invited to a workshop with representatives from the DOA, Faith Based and Neighborhood Partnerships, Health and Human Services, the White House, Department of Education, the Department of Homeland Security, and more. Twenty five to thirty Muslim leaders representing 20 Muslim organizations are expected to attend the workshop.

According to a representative of CCMO, this workshop is designed to clarify how Muslim nonprofits, mosques, Islamic centers, and social service organizations can strengthen their communities through more direct access to opportunities provided to social service agencies at the Federal level. “It will hopefully help cut through some of the red tape and shine light on the many opportunities for funding, government assistance, and resources that we just don’t know about at the local level,” said Elsanousi.

Islam: the Religion of Peace Village in suburban Toronto

While this story is 3 years old and all things considered, it probably has more relevance today.

Giving Peace a chance in Muslim suburbia

VAUGHAN -Before dawn in this sprawl north of Toronto, McDonald’s is locked and Tim Hortons is empty. The fake mountain of Canada’s Wonderland, the amusement park, peeks from the gloom. Across the street looms the white minaret of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama’at mosque.

By National Post, October 6, 2007.

VAUGHAN -Before dawn in this sprawl north of Toronto, McDonald’s is locked and Tim Hortons is empty. The fake mountain of Canada’s Wonderland, the amusement park, peeks from the gloom. Across the street looms the white minaret of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama’at mosque.

A speaker in the parking lot crackles and broadcasts the Arabic call to prayer. Suddenly, silent life fills the dark streets. Men dressed in the long white shalwar camise of their native Pakistan and women in head scarfs emerge from their brick homes.

The only sound is the squeak of hundreds of soles on the asphalt. At the mosque, couples separate: women to their basement prayer hall, men headed upstairs. Before sunrise on this day of Ramadan, they are coming to pray.

Welcome to Peace Village, Canada’s first Islamic subdivision, where all 260 homes belong to members the Ahmadiyya sect, who flooded to Canada in the 1980s after persecution in Pakistan. It looks ordinary, with basketball nets and minivans in the driveways, until you notice the street signs: Mahmood Crescent, Ahmadiyya Avenue and Noor-Ud-Din Court.

“There is nothing like this in North America,” boasts Naseer Ahmad, a real estate agent from Pakistan who dreamed up this community of Islamic dream homes (including oak stairs and central air conditioning) on the edge of Toronto. “You have a mosque, and people are walking to enjoy their faith.”

The houses, with some modifications, such as increased ventilation (for spicy food) and separate living rooms for women and men, are so successful that, six years after Peace Village opened, Mr. Ahmad plans to double the mosque’s size and is now selling 55 townhomes, 1,700 square feet each, for around $350,000 with a garage and a yard, as “Peace Village Phase II.” Continue Reading →

FINLAND: FEMALE GYM’S BAN ON PRAYING AND DINING IN FACILITY TO BE INVESTIGATED BY STATE

We came here to sweat, not to listen
to the members of the ROP praying

No, it’s not a rogue bunch of Baptists taking up badly needed room in the crowded fitness center dressing room, eating and praying, but members of the ROP. According to the newspaper, Vartti:

Located in the center of Espoo, a women’s fitness center has prohibited praying and dine on their premises. The prayer and eating ban came into effect in the Lady Fitness Entresse last Thursday.



The ban by the fitness center’s owner PCNordensved, came after years of complaints about the current prayer. In his view, a dressing room is not suitable for the use of prayer.


– We have as clients dozens of Muslim women. The dressing room has had rather eye-catching moments of prayer. There have been groups and individuals. I have not seen it since it is a women’s fitness and women’s dressing room.


The gym is located on the premises of the Entresse shopping center. According to Nordensved the women have entered the dressing room to pray, even when they were not exercizing in the gym.


– I’ve heard that when they are shopping in the center and prayer time comes, they come to the fitness dressing room to perform prayers.


Interviewed by Vartti, a woman who frequents the gym tells of worshipers she saw in the dressing room last June.


– She threw her coat on the floor in front of solarium room and stood there quietly. A bit scared initially, but it has not bothered me.


The gym center has also banned from the premises, including food, because some women have dined in the dressing room between the long training sessions.


– Some people will come on a long a day trip to the fitness center and eat in the dressing room. A snack, a bite to eat in the dressing room is certainly not forbidden, but this is about eating, was Nordensved’s opinion.


Are these the same women, who pray in the locker room?


– Not entirely, but pretty much the same crowd.


[The notice reads: Because of complaints, we ask all of our customers to kindly refrain from praying and eating in the fitness center’s facilities.


The fitness center and it’s facility are meant to be an area neutral from politicism and religions, where people spend their leasure time in peace. Therefore in future possible religious have to take place outside Fitness center facilities
Eating is forbidden in fitness center facilities. Eating of small snacks is allowed.]


Now since the happening has come to light, the Minorities Ombudsman, Eva Biaudet, wants tp weigh in and see if any “descrimination” has occured. Yes that’s right, a private organization that has its own rules, is now being investigated if it’s in keeping with Finland’s anti-descrimination laws. KGS

Biaudet: It can be discrimination

Minority Ombudsman Eva Biaudet have received news of ban on prayer with astonishment. To consider whether it is about discrimination is still difficult.


– The law assumes that no one may be disadvantaged, and which can also be a call in a particular case can act interpreted as indirect discrimination, “said Biaudet.


 She will ask how religion can be disruptive to other customers.
NOTE: It is distruptive to other customers, and up to the private owner of the establishment to set house rules, who no doubt, do not want to walk over other people kneeling on the floor praying or sitting around stuffing their faces. Special thanks to J, Kumitonttu for bringing this to the TT’s attention and for Kullervokalervontalonpoika for the intial story about the Ombudsman investigation.

CNN Vid on the Church planning to burn Koran

What a shame neither of these men are very articulate on these issues. However the CNN fellow is hypocritical as well as ignorant. He is provocative and insulting to the pastor, because he feels the pastor is provocative and insulting. This is the kind of blatant hypocrisy we have all gotten used to from the left. The CNN fellow is exactly guilty of what he is accuses this poor shmoe pastor of doing, and the pastor, while he has some of his facts right, did not argue his own case very well at all.

He should have said, “If the Nazis had taken over 50 countries and were imposing strict Nazi laws and oppression on the people in those lands, then burning Mine Kampf would be a very rational symbolic resistance to that oppression” and he would be right, no matter how many Nazis it would have ‘offended’.

I should add that the delay on the remote interview tends to make the guest always look a little dim witted as there is a second to two added to each response. So the pastor may be sharper than it appears.
