An Army veteran and his wife were found dead in their home after becoming so poor they were living ‘hand to mouth’ on food handouts.

Mark and Helen Mullins died in an apparent suicide pact after being reduced to crushing poverty at their rundown home in Bedworth, Warwickshire.

The couple were reduced to despair at having to live off just £57.50 a week, and had to walk ten miles each week to a soup kitchen to collect free vegetables.

A bunch of faceless nameless murders in Canada from today.

Listening to the news is quite revealing today. For example, if the police bring a white male into custody for so much as littering his name and photo will be all over the place.  Yet when police have arrested, or are even searching for, dangerous offenders quite often these days you hear things like: ‘Police are searching for a male in his 30s’ or something very much like that.

In the Agenda and Views of this site, written several years ago now, I specifically mention this and its consequences to the relationship between people, government and the mass media. I suppose the point of it is to stop people like me, from saying aha! Islam is a set of memes that makes people more likely to murder women!

Well it is. I said it anyway. Read the damn Koran. There is not a SINGLE WOMEN mentioned in it by name except Mary, and that is to say that she was not the mother of god. In other words, the only women actually mentioned in that horrific, psychopathic, adolescent fantasy by Mohamed is mentioned in order to diminish her stature.

So here are two stories from today. Incidentally, does anyone know the law on marriage and name taking in Quebec? Doesn’t the law say that women may not take their husbands names there or something like that? Please post the facts in the comments. By the way, the two boys which are the offspring of the murdered woman and the killer are fine. We can all breath a sigh of relief.

1. A woman and her teenage daughter are stabbed to death in Montreal by her second husband.

 

2. Man stabbed in city hall library Toronto.

It’s just mighty peculiar that there are no names of the people in custody.

All marines must not pee towards mecca. Really? Yeah.

This week’s syndicated column:

Uncle Sam is getting a little weird. Make that a lot weird. Having dumped hundreds of billions of dollars into a sinkhole called Afghanistan – populated by misogynistic, pederastic, tribalistic and religiously supremacist primitives – to no avail, he has hit on a new plan for winning those ever-elusive Afghan “hearts and minds.”

Uncle Sam has decided that the answer lies in the latrine with the U.S. Marine Corps. No kidding. When nature calls, Uncle Sam has decided he wants every U.S. Marine equipped with a map and compass, or some other way of knowing direction. This is to ensure that no U.S. Marine in Afghanistan urinates in the direction of Mecca ever again.

Now, there’s a winning strategy.

It’s still OK, of course, to spread baksheesh (payola) indiscriminately, chase jihadis into twisting mountain gorges, clear any road laced with improvised explosives – blow up, even, and bleed all over the place. Just make sure your sense of direction is sharp when it really counts.

On a related note, Obama forbids the use of the word, ‘Islamic’ when referring to Islamic terror.

Cain will not hire a Muslim for sensitive positions.

I don’t know why this is in any way a controversial statement. If I was running for national leadership I would not think it even neccesary to say, “I wouldn’t hire a Nazi, or a communist, or a Shintoist, or any other person who had dedicated his whole life in his beliefs to destroy our system of justice and way of life.

But there you have it. Muslims have persuaded so many that it is racist to object to their white hot and pure loathing of western civilization, it’s freedoms and cultures and religions.

This clip was from March but perhaps more relevant now than then as he is leading in GO polls, even in Texas ahead of that great state’s governor. More on this man in a couple of hours as Ezra is doing a fantastic segment on him I will post below when it’s ready. It’s ready.

MAYOR OF PARIS FILES COMPLAINT AGAINST CHRISTIAN PROTESTORS OF SUPPOSED ART BLASPHEMY

There a couple of different issues here that needs to be addressed. One revolves around the states funding of the arts with taxpayers money, in which these Christians are having their tax euros absconded with to fund art that they themselves would never have funded if given the choice.

The second issue is how the state deals two sets of hands, one for the Muslims and the other for everyone else. If this were a bunch of mustards hooting and hollering their lungs out over some alleged violation of their religious rites, they wouldn’t be chased off for just protesting outside a venue.

That said, if indeed the show is funded with private money (highly unlikely) than those protesting should plain pick up and leave and not make a spectacle of themselves. KGS

The Swedish Exception

From Gates of Vienna Oct 27 2011

The following article about the case of Khalid Saeed is based on a story told by Hans Erling Jensen. It was written by the editor of Sappho (the website of the Danish Free Press Society), and was translated into English by Hans Erling Jensen.

Khalid Saeed

Is it an expression of Swedish hypocrisy when their authorities choose to send an apostate that left Islam back to Pakistan? The current case indicates that it is best to be a Muslim if you want to apply for asylum in Sweden.

In Sweden there is room for everyone. Or almost everyone! One of the few who did not merit entry is the Pakistani refugee Khalid Saeed, who has just been refused asylum.

But it is easy to be lured into thinking otherwise, that Khalid is qualified for a place in Sweden’s safe and sound embrace. According to his own statements, he and his family received very serious threats in their homeland.

It is an assertion which seems credible when Khalid also says that he is an apostate Muslim (he calls himself “humanist”). And he has not only distanced himself from his faith, he has done so publicly on his blog.

That should turn on all the warning lights!

In Pakistan he received a visit from several of Allah’s faithful. They maltreated him and threatened his life. Then he (and his family) went underground and escaped through a roundabout route to Sweden. Here he, his wife, and their three children stayed for the two years that the proceedings have been ongoing. Continue Reading →

Imam’s on-air death threat ‘not hate speech’

The biggest problem with thought-feeling-speech laws, is, has been, and always will be, the selective enforcement of them. Once you decide that it is illegal to say thing or feel a certain thing then it is guaranteed that the next decision will be what constitutes these things and, more importantly, what does not. Canada’s ‘Human Rights Commissions’ (hold your nose when you read that one) already proved it by prosecuting anyone who had a bad thing to say about a favored group based on the flimsiest reasoning or evidence and then quite overtly choosing not to prosecute a case of a Canadian imam who had violated the spirit and the letter of section XIII of Canada’s hate speech laws in every conceivable way and in every known form of mass communication.

Here we see the same reasoning and selective enforcement at work in Europe. In this bloggers opinion, the selective enforcement of law, is a cancer upon law itself.

Eeyore

From The Local.Se

It was not hate speech when Swedish public service broadcaster Sveriges Radio (SR) featured a programme in which a Somali imam called for all converts from Islam to be killed, the Swedish Chancellor of Justice (Justitiekanslern, JK) has ruled.

The motivation for the decision not to open up an investigation into the matter was that the presenter protested against what the imam said immediately following the controversial statement.

The decision said that ”the programme features opinions that could be taken as a threat aginst those who have converted from Islam”.

However, due to the responses from the presenter, the Chancellor has decided not to investigate the matter further.

The programme in question was a panel discussion and was broadcast live by SR International’s Somali service.

The initial police report was filed by Erik Johansson, at the Swedish Evangelical Mission (Evangeliska Fosterlands-Stiftelsen – EFS), after friends told him of the imam’s words underlining every Muslim’s responsibility to kill anyone who leaves Islam. Continue Reading →

DUTCH REPORT FINDS POLICE REFUSING TO PLACE THEMSELVES AT RISK

This report also needs to be understood in light of the well known Muslim controlled “No-Go” areas, where the police and first responders refuse to enter without extra back-up. It increases the odds that they’ll make it out these areas without loss of life and limb. KGS

BadNewsfromTheNetherlands blog:

“A quarter of the Dutch police force doesn’t act in situations where they find themselves at risk. They are either poorly trained, afraid of violence, or consider that they have too little backup. These are the findings of a confidential report by the Police Academy. The study is based on interviews with 4,400 policemen. Other results show that certain policemen also avoid violent situations because they do not receive support from their bosses.”

Law that put poppy burning fanatics in the dock faces the axe

Daily Mail:

  • Restriction on ‘insulting’ speech is unfair, say civil liberties groups

By Jack Doyle

Last updated at 11:56 PM on 13th October 2011

A member of Muslims Against Crusades, Emdadur Choudhury, was successfully prosecuted under the Act after burning two huge poppies during the two-minute silence marking the country¿s war dead last November.

Prosecuted: Emdadur Choudhury burned two huge poppies last November

A law used to prosecute Muslim extremists for burning poppies on Remembrance Sunday is set to be scrapped.

The proposal is part of Home Office changes to public order laws in the wake of the summer riots, which will also see police given new powers to impose blanket curfews and to force rioters to remove face masks.

Currently it is an offence to use ‘threatening, abusive or insulting’ words in public, under section five of the Public Order Act 1986.

But civil liberties groups claim the restriction on ‘insulting’ speech is an unfair curb on free speech.

Religious groups have also criticised the law because the police have used it to arrest harmless Christian protesters.

A member of Muslims Against Crusades, Emdadur Choudhury, was successfully prosecuted under the Act after burning two huge poppies during the two-minute silence marking the country’s war dead last November.

Choudhury, from Bethnal Green, East London, outraged war veterans by yelling ‘British soldiers burn in hell’. He was fined £50.

Obama admin uses moral equivalence between murderer and the victims.

I wonder. Did the Obama admin call for restraint on all sides when that reporter was gang raped in Cairo? Did he say that the American Reporter perhaps shouldn’t have looked so “Jewish” to cause all those men to humiliate and sexually assault her? Cause that is what he is doing to the victims in Egypt now.

SA man loses bid to stay in Canada

Brandon Huntley

South African Brandon Huntley has lost his latest bid to stay in Canada, after applying for refugee status, the Sunday Times reported.

On Wednesday Canada’s Federal Court of Appeal dismissed his appeal against the withdrawal last year of his refugee status.

The 33-year-old, who works as a handyman at a carnival, would now take his case to Canada’s Supreme Court. According to his lawyers this would buy him another four years in Canada. He left South Africa in 2004.

In 2009 Huntley successfully argued to the Canadian Immigration and Refugee Board that as a white man, he was being targeted by black criminals in South Africa. He claimed he had been robbed at least seven times in racially-motivated attacks.

Canada’s Immigration Minister Jason Kenney took the matter to the federal court for review. The court agreed the board had been wrong.

The federal court described Huntley’s appeal as “totally unmeritorious”. It dismissed his claims that Kenney acted because of “diplomatic pressure”.

His lawyers Rocco Galati and Russell Kaplan said they were not being paid to handle the case.

When asked for comment, Huntley’s father Robert, who lives in Pringle Bay near Cape Town, told the Sunday Times: “No, I was not aware that he’ll be coming back. And no, I don’t care. No comment.” – Sapa

Landlords face no punishment for discrimination in online ads

Ontario’s human rights code says everyone has a right to seek housing without discrimination.

  Oct 6, 2011 – 6:30 AM ET | Last Updated: Oct 5, 2011 7:03 PM ET

There’s a two bedroom basement apartment for rent in Toronto’s northwest end —one bathroom, newly painted and renovated with a side entrance. The ad, posted on popular classified site Kijiji.ca, comes with the typical caveats —no pets allowed, no smokers. And then, a less common request: Only Muslims need apply.

It’s the exact kind of specifications the Ontario Human Rights Commission recently warned landlords against putting in their online classified ads —any denial of a prospective tenant due to race, ethnic origin, religion, sex, sexual orientation, age and disability, among other things, is grounds for discrimination according to the Ontario Human Rights Commission’s housing policy and the Ontario Human Rights Code.

But for all its condemnation of the practice, the commission this week said they can’t police these online ads, that it’s out of their hands.

Instead, a person would have to call up the prospective landlord and file a complaint if it is clear they were not considered for the apartment because they weren’t Muslim, for example, or Chinese, Korean or Japanese as one other Craigslist Vancouver ad said it would prefer the successful tenants to be.
