Muslims pray at Westminster Abbey. Videographer questioned by police.

I dont get how England is not under the sharia.

If Jews or Christians do a prayer session on the grounds of one of England’s most iconic mosques it will be seen as a provocation most likely or trespassing at the very least and they will be arrested or removed. It would be expected that this would be filmed and expected that Muslims would find this offensive and that something would have to be done.

But if Muslims do a typical provocative prayer session at one of the worlds most iconic Christian buildings, then it is everyone else who has to be very careful how they tread.

How is this not the sharia? The grotesque and totalitarian warping of equality of the law for all to tilt in favour of Islam?

SVT [swedish state tv] removes from SVT Play Uppdrag Granskning [assignment investigation] about Lars Vilks

From AVPIXLAT

NON-FREEDOM OF SPEECH, UPDATED: Apparently, Janne Josefsson’s documentary about Lars Vilks and his speech in the USA about his [personal] experience with the islamic threat against freedom of speech was becoming too much for SVT’s management, steered by V and MP [Moderata Samingspartiet, . Now, they have removed the video from SVT Play [SVT’s web tv].

Little doubt, the reason for it is that they were bombarded with complaints by the cultural leftists’ islam huggers, who are outraged over the fact that the video was too objective and contained to little bias and guideposts. Equally doubtless that Sweden’s moslems have made themselves heard, reporting how aggrieved they became that parts of Vilks’ speech were shown, and that his rondellhund cartoons could be seen for a short moment. In a communiqué at SVT’s forum, the company’s politbureau replies to a direct question, stating that the video has been removed, and that they have the intention to publish a new (read: censured) version later.

Unfortunately, we the editors did not anticipate this measure, something we of course should have done, knowing what type of company SVT is. We have therefore not saved the original. If any of our viewers have been more anticipating and saved the video, or know if it has been saved somewhere, then we are obviously grateful for tips about it.   SVT Play / Uppdrag granskning

Update 121005 13:45:

Now it seems that the new version has been published. When time allows, we will look at it to see what has been changed/removed. Readers who saw the video when it was broadcast, or during the period where the original version was published at SVT Play, are of course welcome to tell us which changes can be stated. We have asked the editors at Uppdrag Granskning for a comment.

Criticizing Islam taboo in academia, says ex-Yale expert

Apart from the “radical” puffery, this is dead-on. “Criticizing Islam taboo in academia: ex-Yale expert says,” by Janice Arnold for Canadian Jewish News, October 2 (thanks to Lachlan):

MONTREAL — Academics who study Islamic antisemitism are risking career advancement and younger scholars are shying away from the subject as a result, said Montreal native Charles A. Small, who headed a Yale University program in antisemitism until it was shut down last year amid controversy.The Oxford-educated Small is currently the Koret Distinguished Scholar at Stanford University’s Hoover Institution in California and director of the New York-based Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy, which he founded.

Iran 1:40 PM Oct. 1, 2012

The Iranian lawyer who successfully represented Christian Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani in court, leading to his eventual release and acquittal of apostasy, has been detained and ordered to serve a lengthy prison sentence in one of Iran’s most dangerous prisons.

Mohammad Ali Dadkhah, who represented Pastor Youcef and other religious and political prisoners, had been previously convicted for representing people like Pastor Youcef. He was sentenced to serve 9 years in prison, barred for 10 years from practicing or teaching law, fined $1,900, and given a choice of either 5 lashes or an additional $450 fine. In recent months, however, Dadkhah had worked out an agreement that allowed him to continue representing Pastor Youcef and that prevented him from having to serve any time in prison.

Western Courts Bend to Islamic Practices

Islamist Watch/PJ Media:

Judges’ consideration of Shari’a when deciding cases may be the most alarming avenue by which Islam influences Western legal systems, but it is not the only one. With increasing regularity, Islamic practices sway the administration of courtrooms, affecting when sessions are held, who must rise, and what attire is permissible. This trend should not be overlooked. Courts that yield to Islamic norms, even in mundane matters, encourage Islamists and cast doubt on the future of equal rights and responsibilities under the law.

Ramadan. The Islamic month of fasting can require significant shuffling of schedules by devout Muslims, but are secular courts obligated to alter theirs? Some answer in the affirmative.

Muslim convert Mark Edward Wetsch is one recent beneficiary. Charged with robbing 13 Minnesota banks, he objected to a hearing set for July 20, 2012, the first day of Ramadan, and asked that it be pushed back for a month. Though Judge Jeanne Graham initially declined the request, he persisted. Ramadan means “not engaging in conflict and argument,” but rather taking part in “work to reconcile differences and seek peace,” according to a motion filed on his behalf. “Clearly, a contested hearing in which the government is making allegations against Mr. Wetsch and he is fighting against [them] causes him to engage in conflict and argument.” Graham relented and issued the desired continuance.

The U.S. military court that will try five al-Qaeda terrorists accused of involvement in the 9/11 attacks bent to similar sensitivities this year. After turning their May 5 arraignment into a circus, the jihadists sought to postpone a hearing scheduled for the week of August 8, near the end of Ramadan. James Connell III, a government-compensated defense attorney, stressed in a filing that “the last 10 days of Ramadan commemorate the night God — Allah — revealed the Holy Quran to the Prophet Mohammed.” Hence, “these 10 days are the most holy period of the Muslim calendar and are typically observed by fasting, prayer, and seclusion.” Despite having previously ruled out Ramadan-related extensions, the judge, Colonel James Pohl, agreed to a delay. Connell was relieved: “It’s very difficult to pay attention to sometimes intricate legal proceedings when you haven’t had any sleep and you haven’t had any food.” (In one bright spot, Pohl rebuffed a petition not to hold hearings on Fridays, the day of communal Islamic prayers.)

Geller Agonistes—Truth in Advertising About the Jihad Against Israel

Andrew Bostom:

Even the NY Times [2] seemed revolted by the glorification of the August 9, 2001 Jerusalem Sbarro Restaurant homicide bombing carnage—an act of jihad terrorism committed by Hamas—“re-created” the next month with ghoulish joy, in a Palestinian Muslim exhibit whose entrance (complete with replicated Sbarro sign) is depicted in the photo above.

The September 26, 2001 Times report [2] included these grisly details:

Created by a student faction of Hamas…The most contentious section is a mock-up of the Sbarro restaurant in Jerusalem where 15 people were killed in a suicide attack in August including not only gnawed pizza crusts but bloody plastic body parts suspended from the ceiling as if they were blasting through the air

Visa insult a betrayal of liberalism

The Australian embassy in The Hague, at Carnegielaan 4, is a model of the functional blandness that dominates the Dutch city. An effort has been made to replicate a traditional steeped roof but it barely mitigates the sterility. On most days, a row of bicycles sits outside the front door, a very Dutch touch.

What has been taking place inside the bland exterior of that embassy during the past six weeks is the opposite of Holland’s famous liberalism. An unfolding act of cowardice has been cooking inside the embassy. It is a calculated insult to the Dutch government.

Six weeks ago, the leader of the Party for Freedom (PVV), which until recently held the balance of power in the Dutch parliament, applied for a visa to visit Australia. His name is Geert Wilders.

Members of his staff and security detail were granted visas after three days. Wilders received nothing. He is still waiting. The Dutch media are waiting for the insult the Gillard government appears to be preparing for a member of the Netherlands’ parliament.

Observer abused by demonstration leader in Malmö’

Posted on by

According to avpixlat , the Swede was taken into custody for ‘disturbing the public order’. At the end of the video, the perp can be seen holding a speech, unmolested by police.

A man screamed and hissed at Muslims and at least one Muslim tried to kick / beat him. But instead of charging the Muslim with attempted assault, police stopped the hissing man and took charge of him for disturbing the public order.

During the police questioning Muslims were screaming in the background. At the end of the video the microphone is handed to a new speaker on Möllevångstorget [square]. It turns out that this is the same Muslim who earlier tried to kick / beat the hissing man.

Geert Wilders may well have his visa denied to enter Australia.

Watch some of the Sydney riot videos after or before you watch this one and consider who the Australians do give visas too presumably without too much difficulty.

If the Ozzies deny Geert a visa, it will signal surrender to the most vile, the most illiberal, the most anti feminist and anti equality forces in the world. It will be a genuine modern tragedy. One that Shakespear could not have written about. Becuase he himself would be silenced by fatwa or death.

Subway tracks robber caught in Sweden. No mention of his name in any article.

We posted videos of the cold hearted robery of a man who had fallen down drunk on the railway tracks and left to die. Now Swedish media has lots of stories about his arrest but his name is carefully concealed. I would be willing to bed odds though that I know what at least one of his names is.
