Egypt court gives 12 Christians life sentences in case set off by religious tension

WAPO:

(Hasan Jamali/ Associated Press ) – An Egyptian street vendor sells fruits in front of a wall filled with defaced posters of presidential candidates in Cairo, Egypt, Monday, May, 21, 2012. The May 23-24 presidential election is the first since last year’s ouster of longtime authoritarian ruler Hosni Mubarak.

CAIRO — An Egyptian court sentenced 12 Christians to life in prison and acquitted eight Muslims on Monday in a case set off by religious tensions in the country’s south.

The Christians were found guilty of sowing public strife, the possession of illegal weapons and shooting dead two Muslims in April of last year in Minya province, about 220 kilometers (135 miles) south of Cairo.

The religious tension in Minya spilled over into violence last year when a Muslim microbus driver, angered by a speed bump outside a wealthy Christian man’s villa, got into a scuffle with security guards who beat him.

After returning to his village of Abu Qurqas that evening, he rounded up the villagers who then gathered outside an ultraconservative Islamist group’s main office there to protest his beating. According to rights researcher Ishak Ibrahim, the Christians nearby thought they were going to be attacked and shot from their rooftops down at the crowd, killing two and wounding two others.

For several days after, angry villagers torched dozens of Christian homes and stores.

Is Amazon Boycotting Geert Wilders in Europe?

From Gates of Vienna:

We all know that Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Yahoo, and other major Internet players tend to support the leftist trans-national politically correct agenda. Instances of suppression of conservative or “racist” opinions on sites controlled by these conglomerates are too numerous too mention here. But Amazon seemed to be different. If a book had potential buyers, then Amazon would sell it, regardless of its political slant.

Up until now. According to the report below from Politically Incorrect, the German branch of Amazon has excluded Geert Wilders’ new book from its listings, and the same seems to be true of at least some other European countries.

For would-be purchasers in Europe, there are ways around this, of course. Since the book is still available in the USA (for now), you can ask your American friends to buy it and ship it to you, and then reimburse them. Or maybe you can buy it directly yourself from Amazon USA and have it shipped across the Atlantic…? I don’t know if that’s the case, but if so, click here, or on the book image below, or on the ad on our sidebar.

Many thanks to JLH for translating this article:

Is Amazon Europe Boycotting Wilders’ Book?

Marked for DeathThe new book by Geert Wilders, Marked for Death, is apparently neither being advertised nor offered in European Amazon. About two months before its publication date, it was possible to reserve the book on your Amazon wish list. In that space now, there is an empty window — without even a dust jacket. Unavailable. Then if you go to amazon.de, you find out it no longer exists.

Only an audiobook is on offer — no other format. If you call up the book on amazon.com and then substitute .de for .com in the address line, so you can order the same book in English, the message appears: “Sorry, the web address you have given does not exist on our website.” If you try this procedure with any other book in English, the “translation” from amazon.com to amazon.de works effortlessly, as always.

Voice of Russia attempts hatchet job on Tommy Robinson

Voice of Russia, the fully and overtly state controlled broadcaster of Russia set up a 4 person panel to attempt to crush Tommy Robinson in something that could be passed off as debate. Something we have come to expect more from the BBC or CBC than from Russian media, which, while clearly agenda driven, often is more fair to serious issues than much state controlled Western media these days.

This clip was re-edited by our own, Abbé Faria to try and bring a better sense of how it actually went live as opposed to the original panel show here, which was clearly edited to interrupt Tommy every time he started to make a salient point.

Canadian courts now the perfect setting for sectarian knife fights

Religious freedom, the the hundredth time, was never meant to mean this. It was meant to mean that the government cannot prosecute or persecute a person for their beliefs, even if they are not protestant. That is all.

A Censored Race War

National Review:

Thomas Sowell 

When two white newspaper reporters for the Virginian-Pilot were driving through Norfolk, and were set upon and beaten by a mob of young blacks — beaten so badly that they had to take a week off from work — that might sound like news that should have been reported, at least by their own newspaper. But it wasn’t.

The O’Reilly Factor on Fox News Channel was the first major television program to report this incident. Yet this story is not just a Norfolk story, either in what happened or in how the media and the authorities have tried to sweep it under the rug.

Similar episodes of unprovoked violence by young black gangs against white people chosen at random on beaches, in shopping malls, or in other public places have occurred in Philadelphia, New York, Denver, Chicago, Cleveland, Washington, Los Angeles, and other places across the country. Both the authorities and the media tend to try to sweep these episodes under the rug.

Socialist Hollande owns three homes on the Riviera

 This is London:

President-elect: Francois Hollande<

11 May 2012

France’s new Socialist president owns three holiday homes in the Riviera resort of Cannes, it emerged today.

Francois Hollande, 57, who “dislikes the rich” and wants to revolutionise his country with high taxes and an onslaught against bankers, is in fact hugely wealthy himself.

His assets were published today in the Official Journal, the gazette which contains verified information about France’s government.

To the undoubted embarrassment of the most Left-wing leader in Europe, and a man who styles himself as “Mr Normal”, they are valued at almost £1 million.

Police chiefs have banned IT staff from using the word “blacklist” over fears it is RACIST.

Best to read this story over at Gates of Vienna.

Clearly politically correct governments and bureaucracies all over the western world have one standing order.

‘Create whatever laws and rules you want to, mobilize forces and fund any programs, do absolutely whatever you can and is visible to the general public so long as at all costs, you do not address any real problems or issues in any rational or meaningful way’

 

As usual, the pathetic and traitorous BBC attacks any Brits who defend their own women, culture and people against Islamic rape and terror

Listen to this stunning BBC interview of E.D.L. 2IC, Kevin Carroll. Try and read though the news reports about Muslims arrested, tried or convicted for rape, terrorism and other forms of violent anti-social behavior while you listen to how the BBC treat the only classically liberal organization left in the UK at this time. (British Freedom Party not withstanding of course) To the BBC, somehow a march by the EDL against Islamic terror, rape and murder is “catastrophic’ but the constant string or pedophile rape gangs by Muslims who hold ‘unbeliever’ girls in utter contempt in every way is somehow not.

Sweden seems to use a different definition of anti-racism than, well everyone else.

Shocking photos shows Swedish Minister of Culture celebrating with ”nig*er cake”

Publicerat den 17 april 2012 kl 07:16

STOCKHOLM (FRIA TIDER). A macabre scene took place this Saturday when the Swedish minister of culture Lena Adelsohn Liljeroth attended a tax funded party for the most powerful cultural representatives in Stockholm. The self proclamed “anti-racist” Liljeroth, who is currently in the process of banning tax support for the only nationalist newspaper in Sweden, inaugurated the festival by cutting a cake that was supposed to depict a stereotyped African woman.

Frankly the issue of real concern should be how the government has decided what newspapers to subsidize or not subsidize based on their opinions. This is what the story should be about, not the shape of a cake.

If you are with the Swedish government’s policy of utter and total self destruction through ‘multiculturalism’, then you get government grants and if not, then you are ‘far right’ and you do not. This on it’s own is not the worst of it. It is likely that Sweden will adjust various rules so that no newspaper that is not friendly with the government and official government media can exist at all. The classic ‘soft totalitarianism’ we see from Canada (The CBC and it’s influence as well as immunity to laws that govern private media) and across Europe.

Surgery bans elderly patient over her carbon footprint

And this is why one must be eternally vigilant of totalitarian leftist posing as those with rational concerns such as health or environmentalism. This is the result.

The Guardian:

 An elderly woman was ordered to find a new GP because the “carbon footprint” of her two-mile round trips to the surgery where she had been treated for 30 years was too large.

Avril Mulcahy, 83, was told to address the “green travelling issues” over her journeys from her home in Westcliff-on-Sea, Essex, to the West Road Surgery. The surgery wrote to Mrs Mulcahy, telling her to register with a new GP within 28 days.

The letter said: “Our greatest concern is for your health and convenience but also taking into consideration green travelling issues. Re: Carbon footprints and winter weather conditions, we feel it would be advisable for patients to register at surgeries nearer to where they live.

“We would be very grateful if you could make the necessary arrangements to re-register at another practice.”

Mrs Mulcahy, a grandmother, believes the decision was made because she complained about a doctor.

GLOBAL news indulges in some first rate moral and cultural relativism.

They are a bit late to the party though, aren’t they?

Blazing has a great post on this. A sample is below but please click through to Blazing Cat Fur for the actual videos etc. of this pathetic white wash

Global News Attacks SunTV Says Muslim Wife Beating Manual Just Like The Bible: 

Once again the MSM attempts to whitewash Muslim barbarity.Yup just like the Bible, except for that honour killing thing. If this were a Christian Book you can bet Global would be peeing themselves with glee.

Global has an unnamed Muslim “leader” cite an irrelevant passage from Deuteronomy as “proof” that the Bible is the equal of the Muslim Wife Beater Instructional. I wonder if this “leader” is connected to the Islamic Society of Toronto?

Ezra Levant on earth hour

Personally I think the way to beat these anti-civilization commies is to change nothing for earth hour. Ignore it. If you actually turn stuff on for that hour you are still letting them effect you in a way which is no different than actually turning the lights out and obeying these morons and hypocrites. But I understand Ezra’s point.
