Vigelante justice and Scandinavia.

This is interesting. Yet when one white guy like Bernard Goetz actually shoots genuine violent criminals in the act of committing a crime against him, and acted in genuine self defence at the moment, it means a lifetime of being in court, of having your life destroyed with infamy and on it goes. Meanwhile, gangs of Muslims in Sweden travel around in cars full of illegal weapons actually hunting a criminal for which they have no description and not a cop in sight.

Mark Steyn on Elisabeth Wolff and freedom of speech.

Mark Steyn was speaking at a tribute dinner for Ezra Levant Saturday Oct 30 in Ottawa and, I am told, his speech was spectacular. James Cohen, former board member of the International Free Press Society, managed to get a few moments of Mark’s time on Camera to ask him what he thought of the charges against Ms. Wolff. His answer of course, was as lucid and high impact as we have come to expect from Mr. Steyn. It never ceases to amaze me that he always lives up to the very high standard of excellence that he has created for himself. A very difficult thing to do.

I hope to have some sections of his speech for publication at some point from that night, the entirety of which may be made available on a commercial DVD from the Center for Policy Studies

WHITE FARMER SHOT IN THE HEAD IN CHEGUTU AREA, ZIMBABWE

No one seems to care about real, lethal racism do they? Maybe it’s time for some of you sanctimonious leftists who delight in calling me racist for my opposition to sharia and Islam’s influence on secular liberal democracy to pony up and so something about real world modern race based murder like in Zimbabwe or modern real world slavery like in Sudan, Saudi Arabia and of course, the Islamic Republic of Mauritania.

Harare, Zimbabwe-2010, October 29

A 67 year old white farmer, Kobus Joubert was shot (on Monday 25 October 2010) at his Scotsdale farm in Chegutu, west of Harare. The farmer heard her wife screaming in the bathroom, as he go to investigate he was shot by a man right in the head.

The murderers got away with Cell phones and $10 000 but failed to get a Laptop which they demanded. This was not the first incident the Jouberts suffered government persecutions. In 2008 Joubert was attacked by a mob of ZANU PF militias who needed his farm. ZANU PF government of President Robert Mugabe has declared that white farmers are “enemies of the people.” Therefore many farmers have been targeted, beaten, tortured and murdered by war veterans, militias and hired assassins.

The Zimbabwe Commercial Farmers Union (CFU) state’s, “The shooting at point blank range of another white farmer in the Selous district (near Chegutu) of Zimbabwe again highlights the deteriorating situation currently being faced in the rural farming areas. This is a symptom of the flagrant disregard for the rule of law in these areas over the last ten years and the Commercial Farmers’ Union of Zimbabwe urgently requests that the authorities take immediate action.” Continue Reading →

NO Jail for RACIST Muslims who Kicked Stabbed & Bludgeoned Lone Boy

Please click over to the Opinionator and read the media analysis he did of media hypocricy with respect to racist attacks on white indigenous Britons. He has a point you know. Most of the attacks he lists I did not know about, but I am very familiar with each case where pigs blood was spilled on an inanimate object like a mosque etc. Even though some, and nearly all of those incidents turned out to have been done by Muslims themselves.

From The Opinionator:

One can truly understand this father’s and mother’s frustration, anger and disgust knowing the muslim perpetrators of the savage racist attack against their lone 14 year old son will not be in jail.

“Joseph Haigh, then aged 14, was savagely beaten by a gang of up to 15 Asian youths in Rectory Park, Thornhill, last October.
He was knocked unconscious with a half a house brick, stabbed in the face with a screwdriver and kicked repeatedly in the head as he lay helpless. His attackers hurled racist abuse at him, referring to the colour of his skin, then left him for dead.”  See article below

Exposing the ACLU’s rather blatant double standard.

The modern ACLU reminds me somewhat of a particular Oscar Wilde quote although without the humour.

“There are my principles. If you don’t like them, I have others.”

Except the ACLU does have 2 sets of consistent and opposing principles it acts on.

Below, is a video with which I do not entirely agree. That is to say, I do in fact believe in the separation of church and state. But this has to apply to Mosques as well, yet the ACLU actually fought for, and won the ‘right’ for Muslims to have publicly funded foot-baths for ritual prayer in federal airports. Something they do not even have in Saudi Arabia. Which makes this all the more annoying.

Australia: male journalists ordered out of courtroom while Muslim woman testifies without niqab.

I predicted this. I knew it would only be a matter of time before sharia standards would be granted formal legitimacy and folded into western court proceedings. This woman refused to remove her niqab at a previous hearing, so to satisfy her irrational sensibilities, the judge decided that sacrificing Australia’s own laws of gender equality to suit Islamic gender apartheid practices would be a fair cultural exchange.

Muslim woman removes niqab to give evidence, as male journalists are barred from court

  • From: AAP
  • October 18, 2010 5:28PM

A MUSLIM woman who sparked a national debate when she asked to give evidence in court wearing a niqab has uncovered her face to testify in a fraud trial.

Tasneem, whose last name has been suppressed by the Perth District Court, gave evidence for just 15 minutes today in the trial of Anwar Sayed.

Mr Sayed, 50, is accused of falsifying student numbers at the Muslim Ladies College of Australia in Kenwick, in Perth’s south, to fraudulently obtain part of $1.125 million the school received in state and federal government grants.

Tasneem, 36, has worn a niqab since the age of 17 and wanted to wear it while giving evidence in the trial.

But Judge Shauna Deane in August ruled she must remove the face-covering garment so that the jury could see her facial expressions.

Tasneem only removes the niqab when she visits the doctor and dentist, at customs in airports and when she has her driver’s licence photograph taken.

Judge Deane last week ruled that to make it easier for Tasneem to give evidence comfortably, men would be removed from the court.

The only men allowed in the courtroom while she gave her evidence today were male jurors, the judge’s usher, Mr Sayed and the lawyers.

While female journalists were allowed to stay in the court to report on Tasneem’s evidence, male journalists were ejected.

A lawyer representing Network Ten and the Seven and Nine networks made an application on Friday to alter the order so that male journalists could remain in court, but the application was rejected.

Giving evidence via video link today, Tasneem appeared comfortable, flanked by a security person and a support person, both of whom were female.

During her brief evidence she explained that she worked at the school as an Islamic studies teacher for two hours a day, five days a week.

Tasneem said that “from time to time” some students would go overseas on holiday or to visit family, mostly in Afghanistan, so it was possible they were enrolled at the school, but did not attend for long periods of time.

Mr Sayed is the director of Muslim Link Australia, which runs the Muslim Ladies College.

He allegedly knowingly signed a declaration that in the 2006/07 census year, more than 180 students were enrolled in the school when there were 80 to 100 fewer than that.

The school received about $164,000 from the state government and about $961,000 from the federal government.

The trial continues.

More strong evidence of bias in the Geert Wilders trial.

Translated from Dutch media by VH with much thanks!

Hirsch Ballin was consulted over a trial

by Johan van den Dongen

Outgoing Minister Ernst  Hirsch Ballin (Justice) has, from a very early stage, been personally involved in the decision making on whether or not to prosecute Geert Wilders.

This is evidenced by internal e-mail correspondence from 2008, between the public prosecutor’s office in The Hague (the top of the OM) and the public prosecutor in Amsterdam.

The information has quite some piquancy, because in our country the justice minister habitually keeps the necessary distance to prevent exposing the OM to changing political influences. In addition, with this information a different light is shed on the role of Hirsch Ballin as one of the fiercest CDA opponents of tolerating the support Wilders’ PVV [to a new coalition govenrment].

On March 14, 2008, the prosecutor-general and the prosecutor in Amsterdam emailed each other on the advise of Rick Lawson, professor of European Law at the University of Leiden. Lawson was asked by the OM for a mapping on whether prosecuting of Wilders would have a chance. On the last page of his ten pages analysis, Lawson concludes that it is “well-founded to prosecute Wilders”.

This opinion was, with both prosecutors, received with cheers, as can be  established form the email correspondence: “What a superb piece!!!!” And: “Monday there will be a meeting with the Minister of Justice about this advise. We will try with all we can to provide as much input as possible to Harm Brouwer (OM chief, ed) for this conversation. Everything is welcome.”

Wilders’ lawyer Bram Moszkowicz is stunned by the internal information. “From this it shows that not only that at the highest ministerial level there has been spoken of the possible prosecution of my client, but moreover that there has been a matter of substantive political involvement in the decision to prosecute.”

Despite Lawson’s analysis, the prosecutor decided not to prosecute Wilders. The court however, later still ordered to do so.

According to a spokeswoman for OM, there is nothing strange about the involvement of Hirsch Ballin. “It is very common for the OM in cases with a social impact, to discusses and exchanges views with the minister. He is politically responsible for the OM and is regularly called to Parliament to explain why things will or will not be prosecuted. ALso when it concerns a prominent politician. The law provided that if the Minister disagrees with the OM, he may give a directive on how to still act otherwise, what in this case has not happened.”

Wilders trial day 3

Geert Wilders on trial day 3
Today the trial against Geert Wilders continued with the same judges The trial day started with a screening of Fitna.

Before the screening we already had the first incident, a woman (plaintiff) asked if she could leave the room. She did not want to see Fitna she declared. The president of the court answers:

I can imagine

Wilder lawyer complained, he could not believe what he just had heard (again a value statement of the court).

A day at a show-trial. Geert Wilders being hung out to dry

Please read this play-by-play over at Klein Verzet:

Today, it was the 1st real trial day in the prosecution against Geert Wilders and his opinions. The event is broadcasted live on Dutch state television and it’s quite a story:

The first amazing thing was that the court wanted to show Fitna in court. That means that for the first time, Fitna will be broadcasted on Dutch national television.

Second surprise was that at the start of the trial, Wilders his lawyer, unexpectedly stated that Wilders would use his right not to answer any questions during his trial, as he as his lawyer had advised him to do so.

His lawyer also asked the court to allow mister Wilders to make a small 2 minute statement in order for him to explain this decision. During the short statement Wilders defended free speech and declared that he has said what he has said and does not take anything back from it. Also he added that he can’t guarantee that anything that is attributed to him is also actually said by him.

The president of the court Jan Moorse then wanted to debate Wilders his decision, but again Wilders repeated that he wouldn’t not answer any questions in court. Then judge Jan Moorse amazingly did not accept his statement in which he took his right not to answer the court and even allowed him selves to make a value judgment about it. Judge Moorse said: that in the press Wilders has been criticized to make statements he is not willing to defend during debates and that he now seems to be doing the same thing here in court.

Jan Moors repeats political smear against Geert Wilders as if they are facts.

Trial to open for Christian missionaries arrested at Arab International Festival in Dearborn

Published: Monday, September 20, 2010, 10:13 AM Updated: Monday, September 20, 2010, 10:13 AM

Four Christian missionaries arrested in June at the Dearborn Arab International Festival are heading to trial today after a judge denied a motion to dismiss the case.

Attorneys for the evangelists, who are part of a group known as “Act 17 Apologetics,” say their clients were attempting to engage Muslims in a dialogue about their faith.

But critics argue the suspects hoped to cause a scene at the festival, and Dearborn Police Chief Ron Haddad explained they were arrested for disorderly conduct to ensure they did not provoke violence from other attendees.

Defense attorney Robert Muise of the Ann Arbor-based Thomas More Law Center sought to dismiss the case on the grounds the arrests were unconstitutional — an argument law professors say has merit — but the Detroit Free Press reports 19th District Court Judge Mark Somers on Friday denied the request.

“I think the evidence will show they did absolutely nothing wrong,” Muise told the newspaper, explaining he’s confident his clients will prevail at trial.

The case is being watched closely by First Amendment scholars and political pundits

More media double standards

Of course, the media is outraged at attempts to preserve classical liberalism in Europe, and refer to anyone who wants to as “far right wing” but dead silence on actual laws that forbid any non-Islamic religions or cultures within Muslim lands. The game they show is a great example. The game is banned even though its far far less violent than most games, but not a peep about actual burning of Churches and Christians in the Islamic world and even our ‘ally’ Pakistan. It would almost seem as if the media uses the Islamic definition of slander.

Anything that makes Islam look bad true or not and especially if it is true.
