“Obama deeply concerned” about what it calls a “politically-motivated prosecution,” (re Pussy Riot)

Posted on by

I wonder if a punk band broke into a mosque uninvited and started singing punk songs about how awful Islam is, even if they told the absolute verbatim truth about Mohamed and so on, and also included how pissed off they where at the Obama administration for its complicity in being the single biggest force for the reduction of freedom and safety for all non-Muslim groups in the world, again, arguably very true, and had many of their supporters also enter the mosque and trash the place up during the performance, would Obama make sure that no prosecution took place?

Or would he label it terrorism and go public with how horrible these peoples actions where and apologize to Muslims till the crease in his pants faded a tiny bit around the knee.

I think we all know the answer. And frankly, I gotta go with Putin on this one.

Check this account of the actions of these women. Video of the attack, (and attack it was as one cannot call it a performance when it was not asked for, and specifically not wanted) below.

U.S. keeping tabs on Myanmar violence

No selective enforcement here at all. None whatsoever.

Think there will be any US demands to allow churches in Saudi Arabia or Afghanistan?

Didn’t think so.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9 (UPI) — All parties to violence in Myanmar are called on to uphold the basic principles of religious tolerance, a U.S. State Department official said.

Washington in July dispatched Farah Pandith, special envoy to Muslim communities, to Myanmar, formerly known as Burma, to meet with leaders from religious and ethnic groups in the region.

“She discussed areas for cooperation with Muslim communities in Burma, including education, rule of law, and economic opportunity, with a particular focus on young people,” the State Department said in a briefing on her visit.

Pensioner ranted at police as race row got heated Pensioner ranted at police as race row got heated

A PENSIONER who claimed he had been the victim of racist abuse ranted at police because he believed his complaint was not taken seriously because he was white.

Retired mental health social worker James Evans, of Bath Road, Worcester, admitted a section five public order when he appeared before a district judge at Worcester Magistrates Court .

The court heard how the 65-year-old shouted at staff at Worcester police station where he was attempting to report what he believed was an offence against him at around 11am on July 25.

Sam Webley, prosecuting, said Evans became agitated at having to wait and accused one of the counter staff of being incompetent.

A constable asked Evans to calm down and not be abusive to counter staff.

Mrs Webley said: “He is described as red in the face and asked for the PC’s badge number. He said he was being asked to wait like a little dog.” He was arrested and taken to the custody suite where he continued to be abusive. “He said: ‘If I was Asian this wouldn’t have happened,’” said Mrs Webley.

Evans, who represented himself, told the court that he had been distressed at the time and was concerned that the Celtic and Anglo-Saxon people of Britain are completely erased from any considerations of race.

“I went to ask an Asian chap if he would mind moving his car because we couldn’t see to get out of our drive,” said Evans.

“I was met with a tirade of abuse and was told that you whites had better watch your step. I felt really betrayed and distressed. “I know from my experience as a social worker that had my actions been by an Asian person or by any other racial group but my own they would have been taken more seriously and treated in a completely different way.”

Did you hear about the guy who was fired from his retail job because he was wearing a Che T shirt at a leftist rally? You know Che? Castor’s personal torturer and the man who believed in slaughtering whole villages if it meant forcing communism on the area would be achieved? You didn’t hear about that?

Well how about the civil servant who was let go because he belonged to a communist party on his own time and who wanted to destroy the capitalist system and impose a new communist order.

No? doesn’t ring a bell?

OK how about the guy who was fired from his union trades job because of his affiliations with the Occupy movement as well as taking part in other illegal protests like BDS, the belief that Israel must be destroyed by having no international commerce with them at all.

No?

Well that’s because to the best of my knowledge, none of those things ever happened.

This did though…

Saudi to reverse Shia property ban

Posted on by

Wait a minute, hold on here WHAT!?!?!!

Hey maybe someone should tell the “Israeli Apartheid” morons protesting in front of Montreal and Australian stores that deal with Israeli made items or are owned by Israel based firms about this. I didn’t even know that in Saudi Arabia, at least until this ban is reversed, that you could not even buy property if you are the wrong flavour of muslim and certainly not if you were anywhere near the preferred kind, in this case, Sunni.

Of course its no surprise that Jews are not allowed in the KSA at all, but that kind of apartheid is the new normal. But I am shocked that the left hasn”t noticed this kind of Systemic discrimination against a whole identifiable group of Muslims!

Or is it that they have noticed, and just hoped we didn’t.

From Al Akhbar:

Published Tuesday, August 7, 2012

Saudi authorities have decided to withdraw a ruling issued by a senior religious scholar in the Kingdom which prevented the sale of real estate to members of the Shia community.

A branch of the Ministry of Islamic affairs in the Eastern Province issued a circular to mosques repealing the fatwa of the late Sheikh Abdullah bin Jibrin which prohibited the sale of real estate to Shias.

Jibrin’s decree had said it was wrong to sell property to Shias if the property was in the vicinity of Sunni families or in Sunni villages or towns.

Shia Muslims, who make up around five percent of Saudi’s 27 million-strong population, are concentrated in the oil rich Eastern Region, but there are also smaller communities in the holy city of Medina and other areas.

They are routinely prejudiced against, and face marginalization in Saudi society.

Saudi security forces have often suppressed their grievances by force, with anti-government protests by attacked on a regular basis.

To be honest, I was sick of the story about the lack of a minute of silence the second time I heard it. But then new facts keep appearing which make it clear that there was more than a little cowardice and perhaps a little antisemitism here.

Sacked from Leeds City Council for his private political views.

More evidence of the soft totalitarian methods of the UK. A person should not be fired for their personal beliefs unless it can be shown that it has effected their performance at work in a negative or illegal way. I begin to see why some Canadians have noticed an influx of British immigrants recently. We may not call them refugees just yet. But…

Chris Knowles has been a good friend of mine for several years, and has known Ned (the Baron at Gates of Vienna) even longer. Up until today, Chris had been an employee of the Leeds City Council for about seventeen years. Last autumn, during the hysteria after the Breivik massacre, The Sunday Times started investigating Chris and other Brits associated with ICLA. After the ST published an article “outing” him, Chris was suspended from his job. Finally, today he was sacked. Chris has never said or done anything that would remotely warrant his being fired.

Here’s his statement posted at ICLA: 

Teachers who belong to far-right groups could be kicked out school

One of the most common, and effective, tricks of the totalitarian regime is to create a label most can agree is unacceptable to the (classically) liberal mind, then paint that label on to any group you want to get rid of. The Soviets did it, the Nazis did it, all psychotic genocidal regimes do it and frankly even moderate and soft post-democratic regimes do it to a lesser degree.

This is the UK doing it. Pretend the EDL are ‘far-right’ and ignore the fact that center-traditional Islam in fact reflects what people think of as ‘far-right’ almost to the letter (loathing of Jews, contempt for women, religious fanatics etc) and then pass laws saying that people who can be called far right, as opposed to those who really are, can be summarily dismissed from any job in government. And of course, in a socialist state like the UK, probably close to 65% of all jobs are government. I believe it was Mark Steyn who pointed out that the British Health Services are the world’s third largest employer after the Chinese military and the India railway company.

Also, if the UK teachers union is anything like the American or Canadian teachers unions it is virtually impossible to fire a teacher for anything short of actual cannibalism of students. So if they can fire them for a trumped up version of political opinion, the UK will have sunk that much deeper into a very bad place indeed.

Scotland’s teaching regulator is facing calls to strike off members of the profession with links to far-right groups such as the British National Party and the Scottish Defence League.

Members of the country’s largest teaching union, the Educational Institute of Scotland (EIS), have tabled a motion to their upcoming AGM calling on the General Teaching Council for Scotland and the Scottish Government to “minimise the influence” of such groups in schools.

However, it is expected that delegates at this week’s meeting will go a step further and call for members of the profession with links to extremist groups to be removed from the teaching register.

Currently, teachers working in Scotland’s schools do not have to declare whether they are the member of a political party or other such group.

The General Teaching Council for England was axed after it failed to take action against a BNP activist who described immigrants as “savage animals” on an internet forum.

How Political Correctness Is Transforming British Education

British teachers are also reluctant to discuss the medieval Crusades, in which Christians fought Muslim armies for control of Jerusalem: lessons often contradict what is taught in local mosques.

In Cheshire, two students at the Alsager High School were punished by their teacher for refusing to pray to Allah as part of their religious education class.

In Scotland, 30 non-Muslim children from the Parkview Primary School recently were required to visit the Bait ur Rehman Ahmadiyya mosque in the Yorkhill district of Glasgow (videos here and here). At the mosque, the children were instructed to recite the shahada, the Muslim declaration of faith which states: “There is no god but Allah and Mohammed is his messenger.” Muslims are also demanding that Islamic preachers be sent to every school in Scotland to teach children about Islam, ostensibly in an effort to end negative attitudes about Muslims.

British schools are increasingly dropping the Jewish Holocaust from history lessons to avoid offending Muslim pupils, according to a report entitled, Teaching Emotive and Controversial History, commissioned by the Department for Education and Skills.

British teachers are also reluctant to discuss the medieval Crusades, in which Christians fought Muslim armies for control of Jerusalem: lessons often contradict what is taught in local mosques.

In an effort to counter “Islamophobia” in British schools, teachers now are required to teach “key Muslim contributions such as Algebra and the number zero” in math and science courses, even though the concept of zero originated in India.

Ontario govt puts political correctness far above its own laws. Like everywhere else.

When I add this data on to the fact that the Ontario Govt. worked 3 shifts to ban smoking in peoples private bars and restaurants and then lied to the public saying it had actually increased sales, and to prove it was lying, actually continued to allow smoking at Ontario Government owned and operated casinos well after the province wide ban was in effect because they really did know how much revenue they would lose, well, you get an idea of what the Ontario government really is. Just a sort of less malignant organized crime than the TV variety.

‘I thought the innocent were protected … it’s been a hard lesson’: Celebrity photographer kicked by Muslim woman she tried to help tells of pain at being charged as a racist

Ordeal: Cinnamon Heathcote-Drury says the experience left her ‘terrified’

She has heard them many times over the past few days, but speaking the words ‘racially aggravated assault’ still causes Cinnamon Heathcote-Drury’s entire body to shake and tears to stream down her face.

Her name may have been cleared, but it is obvious the scars of being accused of a vicious hate crime will be more difficult to erase.

Last Thursday, a jury at Isleworth Crown Court in West London took just 15 minutes to acquit her of shoving a pregnant Muslim woman to the floor and calling her husband a terrorist during a row in Tesco. Despite Miss Heathcote-Drury’s relief at the verdict, her sense of bewilderment at what has happened remains her overwhelming emotion.

The investigation that led to the celebrated photographer – whose work hangs in the National Portrait Gallery – being tried was described in court as ‘a shambles’.

To her, it often felt like being trapped in a dystopian world in which she could not make her version of events heard, no matter how hard she tried.

Although, in fact, she says she was the victim of assault, her own accusations were dismissed while her accusers’ claims were pursued by police.

Today the elegant 41-year-old is exhausted, but grateful finally to have her chance to explain the truth about this strange and disturbing case.

‘I’ve been going out of my mind since this all happened,’ she says. ‘I’ve been on antidepressants and anti-anxiety pills because of the stress.

‘I didn’t even tell any of my friends about the charges until April, because I couldn’t bear to say them; they were too hideous. I have a lot of friends of different ethnic backgrounds and I didn’t want to plant even the smallest doubt in their minds about me.

‘Before this, I believed that if you were innocent and told the truth, you would be protected by the system, but I’ve learned some very hard lessons.

‘I kept waiting for my story to be investigated, and it never was. Of course it was an enormous relief to be acquitted so quickly, but I find it absolutely terrifying that the case against me could have gone as far as it did.

‘The sense of powerlessness at what was happening was overwhelming.’

NATIONAL PORTRAIT GALLERY STAR: THE NEWS IN CINNAMON’S PICTURES

Eleven of Cinnamon Heathcote-Drury’s portraits hang in the National Portrait Gallery, including a pensive shot of London Mayor Boris Johnson and one of broadcaster Zeinab Badawi.

Her career began in 2000 when she asked Newsnight presenter Jeremy Paxman to pose for the gallery section on news gatherers.

Her other subjects include politician Kenneth Clarke and War Horse author Michael Morpurgo.

The couple became infuriated. ‘The husband came up behind me and said in my ear, “You f*** off,” which I found very intimidating,’ Miss Heathcote-Drury says. ‘I wanted to get out of the shop as quickly as possible, but he approached me again.’

She called for a security guard and when one arrived, he began speaking to the man. Meanwhile, Miss Heathcote-Drury, who had paid for her shopping, was making her escape down the aisle when she claims she felt a sharp pain in her left shin and stumbled.

‘The woman was standing with her hand on her hip and smirking. She wanted to humiliate me. Then she hit me on the left cheek.’

According to Miss Heathcote-Drury, a struggle ensued in which she was kicked in the right shin and her hat was wrenched from her head before the woman lost her balance and fell.

The security guard called the police while the couple continued to put their shopping through the till.
