Ministers’ cover-up over the abortion of unwanted girls: Officials refuse to release list of ethnic communities more likely to have sex-specific terminations
Once again, the ultimate leftist-feminist dilemma. Support all abortion for all women no matter why or when or where only to discover that the vast majority of them are used to murder embryonic girls. One thing is for sure. If I were part of the British public I would be furious that my government was hiding crucial information and pretending it was in my interest to do so.

Are abortions taking place in the UK based on the gender of the unborn child? The government wants to investigate further before saying for sure
Ministers have refused to release information about which immigrant communities appear more likely to abort unwanted girls.
Officials at the Department of Health have compiled a list of nationalities whose mothers tend to have far more boys than girls, a sign of illegal sex-specific terminations.
But they say that it would ‘not be in the public interest’ to publish the list.
Campaigners last night condemned ministers for being more concerned about stigmatising certain ethnic communities than challenging the practice by publishing the information.
Ranjit Bilkhu, an anti-gender abortion campaigner who grew up in a Sikh Punjabi community in Birmingham, said: ‘On International Women’s Day, of all days, we should be open about this issue. What we are talking about is violence against women and we should recognise it as such.
‘I think the Government is afraid to publish this because it might highlight particular communities that it doesn’t want to marginalise. I know it happens in my community.’
Western hypocrisy and double standards when dealing with hate speech

Malmö prosecutor: Attack on Jewish center no hate crime
06 March 2013
Authorities in the Swedish city of Malmö have dropped an investigation into the vandalism of a Jewish center, saying it was probably a “derailed prank” rather than a hate crime.
Unknown vandals threw rocks and a firecracker at the Jewish community building last September, breaking a window in the entrance door. No one was injured, but the incident raised concerns about an anti-Semitic motive in a city where some Jews say they have been harassed by Muslim immigrants.
Police said the perpetrators could not be identified, but Prosecutor Hans Harding on Wednesday said the investigation pointed to “a derailed prank by a group of friends seeking attention.”
Now, we go to Belgium:

Arne S., originally from Blankenberge, was sentenced on Wednesday, by the criminal court of Bruges, to four months in prison for having torn a copy of the Koran in front of a group of Muslims, in June 2012, in Ostende.

About 20 former BBC staff are barred even from revealing they signed a gagging deal (Alastair Grant)
THE BBC has used licence fee money to buy the silence of about 20 former staff who left after claiming to have been the victims of bullying or sexual harassment.
They have laid out their grievances in formal complaints to a BBC review set up in the wake of the Jimmy Savile scandal and overseen by Dinah Rose QC.
Former staff rounded on the BBC for its “hypocrisy” in gagging employees while promising to clean up the culture that enabled Savile to escape detection for his sexual crimes.
The 20 people forced to sign the gags, called compromise agreements, are barred even from revealing they have signed such a deal.
Diana West and Andrew Bostom on the NY Times hit piece on Lars Hedigaard

The New York Times weighs in today (like a ton of bricks) on the attempted assassination of Lars Hedegaard, editor of Dispatch International.
“Danish Critic of Islam Attacked, and Muslims Defend His Right to Speak” (with links from the NYT original)
By Andrew Higgins (photo above):
COPENHAGEN — When a would-be assassin disguised as a postman shot at — and just missed — the head of Lars Hedegaard, an anti-Islam polemicist and former newspaper editor, this month, a cloud of suspicion immediately fell on Denmark’s Muslim minority.
This isn’t a newspaper lede, it’s a framework of Leftist attitude through which the pre-enlightened Timesreader is to view the event.
As such, it’s worth a closer look. Note how the emotional seesaw touches down, first, at the head of Lars Hedegaard — “just missed” by a “would-be” (hapless) assassin– before lifting again as if burnt by the heat emanating from the “anti-Islam polemicist” (bad) and “former newspaper editor” (what good is he now?). It falls again through a troubling “cloud of suspicion” (cliche evokes *prejudice*) to land, thud, at “Denmark’s Muslim minority.”
Excerpt from Andrew Bostom:
Times Demonizes Hedegaard, Lionizes Danish Muslim Instigator of Murderous Cartoon Riots
February 28th, 2013 (6 hours ago) by Andrew Bostom |
Reporting “worthy” of this man, Walter Duranty
Andrew Higgins’ “inspirational” muse must be the ignoble New York Times reporter Walter Duranty, who deliberately concealed Stalin’s campaign of mass starvation and murder (or “dekulakization”) of 14.5 million in the Ukraine, from 1930-1937 (see Robert Conquest’s magisterial Harvest of Sorrow, pp. 299-307). This travesty was compounded when Duranty was awarded a 1932 Pulitzer prize for his despicably whitewashed, agitprop “reporting”.
Eight decades later, ostensibly reporting on the recent failed assassination attempt against Danish journalist and historian Lars Hedegaard for the New York Times (or more appositely, the New Duranty Times, since the “paper of record” has never denounced Duranty’s illegitimate receipt of the Pulitzer), Higgins demonizes Hedegaard as a purveyor of “ anti-Muslim bile and conspiracy-laden forecasts,” while lionizing Copenhagen’s Islamic Society, in particular, its current leader, Imran Shah.

Exposing the UN’s dirty little secrets

A gathering of the tortured in Geneva shames the UN Human Rights Council by giving victims not perpetrators a platform to tell their story
Geneva summit does the work the UN won’t do
The speakers were never meant to live and tell their stories. Their torturers expected them to either submit or die. But somehow these men and women managed to escape from their dungeons and concentration camps to gather at the seat of the United Nations Human Rights Council.
They came to bear witness to the crimes committed by some of the very members of this esteemed UN body. Naturally, at the Palace of the Nations, where over 80 international officials, including Foreign Secretary William Hague, will over the coming days address the Council, there will be no space for these brave freedom fighters.
This is why UN Watch, together with over 20 other NGOs, organized the Geneva Summit for Human Rights and Democracy last week. Now in its fifth year, the annual summit does the sort of work the UN shies away from. It gives the victims, not the perpetrators, of state terror a podium.
While the international dignitaries will speak under the auspices of Council Vice President Mauritania, the Geneva Summit participants heard from a former subject of the North African country—Abidine Merzough, a man born as a slave to slave parents.
As unfathomable as it may sound, some 20 percent of Mauritanians, about 600,000 people, are still slaves. Mauritania uses Sharia to justify a racist system where Arabs exploit the country’s black African population and which “runs counter to Islam’s humanist principles,” Merzough explained:
Khalid Mahmood: ‘Spy cameras should have stayed’
Typical. We enact measures that restrict our own freedoms and civil liberties for greater security due to a threat which is overwhelmingly from the Muslim community, and then we exempt the Muslims from having to endure those inconveniences. Just like airport security in Montreal where Muslims in burkas can sail through security which the rest of us have to endure annoyance and humiliation.

An MP has said more than 200 so-called “spy” cameras which were put up in largely Muslim areas of Birmingham should never have been removed.
Khalid Mahmood said the cameras, called Project Champion, would have been an “effective tool” in helping security services track terror suspects.
The cameras, which were removed in late-2010 after never being switched on, sparked protests from residents.
An independent report was highly critical of the scheme and the police.
Mr Mahmood’s comments came after three men from the city were convicted on Thursday of plotting a suicide bomb attack which they said would rival 9/11 or the 7 July bombings.
Lars Hedegaard and the Enemies of Truthfulness
Andrew Bostom:
Last week I noted how Michael Coren of Canada’s Sun TV was far bolder than any of his US television network colleagues in dealing with Islam’s threat to Western free speech, epitomized by Coren’s interview of Danish journalist and historian Lars Hedegaard, who survived an assassination attempt by a likely Muslim assailant, still at large. No such interview with public airing on television was conducted by any major US television network-ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox News, CNN-not even the self-proclaimed “alternative” to “stultifying political correctness,” and “champion” of free speech, The Blaze TV.
Emphasizing, yet again, the ongoing, complete dereliction of duty of not only the mainstream legacy media, but so-called conservative outlets such as Fox News and The Blaze, Michael Coren opened his follow-up interview of Lars Hedegaard, yesterday (2/15/13), with this observation:
Norwegian media actually covers story on Islamic antisemitism!
From The Observer:
“This is a very interesting clip from NRK about the Palestinian demonization of the Jews and the massive Norwegian financial aid to the Palestinian authorities, of which some is used to fund this hatred.”
This also reveals the critical Islamic roots of the conflict above and beyond the alleged geopolitical reasons for it.

The deafening silence of the Left over the ‘Muslim Patrol’

The aftermath of the recent ‘Muslim Patrol’ saga served as another reminder of the British Left’s cherry-picking approach to morality
by Saleem Khan on 25 January 2013 18:10
There aren’t many times in politics when people of different stripes can unite over an issue, but I’m heartened to see that the Left have joined the chorus of condemnation over the disgusting behavior of the thuggish ‘Muslim Patrol’ gang.
Sorry, hold on. That’s in a parallel universe. Here in our universe, no such thing has happened. As with every other instance of Islamist fanaticism, the Left remains silent. Case in point: I emailed several groups, including Unite Against Fascism (UAF), The Respect Party (RP), and The Socialist Workers Party (SWP), asking for their comments on the incidents. Want to guess how many replied to me?
Zero.
Bear in mind my emails were polite, concise and formal; I don’t go in for name calling and playground-level discourse. Of course, that’s what they would prefer. Had I written a long, ranty email full of insults, they would have responded like a shot. Take that ammunition away from them by asking a simple, sober question, and they can’t respond. As an aside, I also emailed George Galloway asking for his reaction; equally polite. Not that I expected a reply from him either.

Kevin Carroll arrested on suspicion of race hate crime
It would be interesting to find even one biologist on planet earth who can explain how Islam is a race, yet you can convert in (and at the risk of your life) out of it. Just one. And that should be enough of a defence anywhere in the world where reason and empiricism still hold sway.
As they do not, Mr. Carroll may be in trouble.

Kevin CarrollThe joint leader of the English Defence League has been arrested on suspicion of a race hate crime.
Kevin Carroll, the cousin of the recently jailed Stephen Lennon – who founded the EDL – was apprehended on Saturday morning by police officers investigating a message he posted on Facebook that alledgedly incited racial hatred.
Mr Carroll is the joint leader of the British Freedom Party and he recently stood unsuccessfully for election as Bedfordshire’s Police and Crime Commissioner last November.
A spokesman for Bedfordshire Police said: “A 43 year old was arrested on Saturday morning on suspicion of ‘Display threatening abusive/insulting written material with intent/likely to stir up racial hatred’.”
