More than 100 schoolgirls have been rushed to hospitals in northeastern Afghanistan after drinking what is feared to be poisonous water from a tank at their school.

More than 100 schoolgirls in Afghanistan have fallen sick after drinking water that is suspected to have been poisoned in the small town of Rustaq in the northeastern Afghan province of Takhar.

In what appears to be an attempt by opponents of education for girls, the poison scare incident highlights threats to girls’ education in Afghanistan.

“I think some radical elements who oppose girls going to school are behind this act,” said district governor Mohammad Hussain, adding that police were investigating the incident.

London university considers stopping sale of ‘immoral’ alcohol on campus because it offends their Muslim students

…and the extinction of our own culture continues apace. So much for ‘diversity’.

Daily Mail:

  • University is trying to be sensitive to views of its 30,000 students – 20 per cent of whom are Muslim

Diversity: Malcolm Gillies, Vice Chancellor of London Metropolitan University, said students' values were changingDiversity: Malcolm Gillies, Vice Chancellor of London Metropolitan University, said students’ values were changing

A university is considering ending the sale of alcohol on campus due to concerns from Muslim students.

London Metropolitan University could take action because a ‘high percentage’ of its students thought drinking was ‘immoral’, according to its vice chancellor.

Professor Malcolm Gillies raised the prospect of an alcohol-free campus after gauging the changing values from the influx of new students.

He said it would be unwise to ‘cling’ to a ‘nostalgic’ view where the vast majority wanted alcohol to be available and instead take account of diverging views.

He told MailOnline: ‘I was raising the issue of changing values in student populations and the question of how a responsible university responds.

‘London Metropolitan University is a highly diverse university ethnically and in religious terms. ‘

‘Our students come from all over the world and they come with changing balance of values.

 

‘So the issue of how we cater for those values while still remaining true to being a British university is one of the constant issues any responsible university would be considering.

‘We do have a high percentage of Muslim students – we estimate it may be around 20 per cent for our university.

‘And therefore as most Muslims do look on drink as something which isn’t an acceptable part of everyday life, seeing how do we provide an environment that can respect that, while also respecting values of people such as me who do drink, and who believe drink in moderation is acceptable part – in fact sometimes a good part – of a social community.’

Egypt Brotherhood candidate says sharia is main goal

April 4 2012

CAIRO (Reuters) – The Muslim Brotherhood’s candidate for the Egyptian presidency, Khairat al-Shater, declared that introducing sharia law would be his “first and final” objective if he wins elections in May and June.

Making his first reported statements since the Brotherhood’s surprise decision to field him in the elections, Shater also promised to reform the Interior Ministry which long played a leading role in suppressing dissent.

However, he denied he had struck a deal with the military on his candidacy, announced last Saturday, even though it may help candidates close to the old order of ousted President Hosni Mubarak by splintering the Islamist vote.

“Sharia was and will always be my first and final project and objective,” Shater was quoted on Wednesday as telling a meeting of the Religious Association for Rights and Reform – a group of which he is a member, along with figures who belong to the hard-line Salafi school of Islam.

Afghanistan: Hundreds of women jailed for ‘moral crimes’

The US-based organisation called for governments around the world to pressure the Afghan government to free the women detained behind bars mostly after fleeing domestic violence or forced marriage. Some were convicted of zina, or sex outside of marriage, after being raped or forced into prostitution, HRW said in a report released on Wednesday.

“No one should be locked up for fleeing a dangerous situation even if it’s at home. President Karzai and Afghanistan’s allies should act decisively to end this abusive and discriminatory practice,” HRW executive director Kenneth Roth said in a statement posted on the organisation’s website.
The situation for women in Afghanistan has generally improved since the Taliban were overthrown. A 2009 law boosts women’s rights making forced marriage and other acts crimes. But enforcement is weak, especially in rural areas where enforcement is largely up to conservative make tribal elders.

The report said jailed women struggled to find support amid a “dysfunctional criminal justice system.”

 

UK: ELDERLY WOMAN DIES WHILE HER MUSLIM NURSE PRAYS ON

PRIORITIES!

The nurse wouldn’t deem himself to be inhuman or uncaring, it’s just a matter of ‘priorities’ don’t you know, allah always comes first, human life in comparison, is just inconsequential fodder. Therein lies the big difference between the Muslim world and the West, and reason enough to deny these types of Muslims any kind of prominent role in our society. The more in touch they are with their ‘inner mohamed’ the more uncaring, intolerant and unwestern-like they become.

H/T C.K.

Alzheimer’s sufferer Dorothy Griffiths, 87, was found sitting down after staff heard a bang and a carer went to the office for help to lift her.

But agency nurse Abdul Bhutto, who was in charge, said they would have to wait.

Carer Zoe Shaw told the Sheffield hearing: “It took between five and ten minutes because he was praying upstairs in the office on his prayer mat. A staff member told me we had to wait for him to finish.”

An ambulance was not called for nearly four hours after Mrs Griffiths fell from bed and cut her head and suffered a gash to her hip at the privately-run Valley Park Nursing Home in Wombwell, near Barnsley.

She died later in hospital. Mr Bhutto failed to appear at the inquest and a summons had to be issued for him to attend the resumed hearing later in the year.

Toulouse Gunman’s Link to UK Extremists

By Peter Neumann, Alexander Hitchens, and Scott Kleinmann

News reports today have linked the Toulouse gunman responsible for the murders of seven people, now identified as French citizen Mohammed Merah, to a recently banned French extremist group with connections to Britain.

Named Forsane Alizza (FA – the Knights of Pride), the group bears many similarities to the UK-based al-Muhajiroun/Islam4UK network.

Who are Forsane Alizza?

FA is led by a young French Muslim called Mohamed Achamlane, and has between 30 and 100 official members. However, it is not a formally structured organisation, and likely has many more sympathisers. On the internet, the group can count on nearly 2,000 supporters on Facebook and 400 followers on Twitter.

The group appears to be part of a loosely connected European network of extremist Islamists who share the same ideology and use similar tactics. Each group often has a number of names, one of which typically begins with the label ‘Sharia4’ followed by the country, such as ‘UK’, Belgium, or ‘France’. Among the names used by FA is ‘Sharia4France’.

Islamic halal meat: It ‘slams against Quebec values,’ Parti Quebecois says

Posted on by

Wow what do you know, The Parti Quebecois is standing up for Quebec values. Will wonders never cease.

Yahoo.com

QUEBEC – The Parti Quebecois is sounding the alarm bell over an Islamic food ritual, calling slaughter for halal meat an affront not only to the rights of animals but to the values cherished by Quebecers.

The pro-independence party declared its concerns Wednesday about halal animal-rights standards, and is worried that mainstream companies are selling the meat, without any labelling, to unsuspecting Quebecois customers.

Not to be outdone, the fledgling Coalition For Quebec’s Future concurred later Wednesday that consumers should have the right to choose which product they buy and halal products must be labelled.

The halal flap is the latest iteration of Quebec’s identity debates, which have raged on Montreal’s populist talk radio in recent days.

Over the last week one radio show has featured complaints about Hassidic Jewish festivals disrupting traffic; Islamic halal meat being sold without labelling; and a convenience-store owner who got angry when asked to speak French.

The PQ is now demanding a report on the halal situation from the provincial government, by March 23.

Egypt: MP proposes Sharia punishments: crucifixion and amputation

Jihad Watch:

From the beginning of the “Arab Spring,” I said here and elsewhere that it was not a democracy movement, as the Western press was claiming, but an Islamic supremacist pro-Sharia takeover that would result in the creation of Islamic states that would be far more hostile to the U.S. and Israel than the Arab nationalist regimes they were supplanting. This assessment was greeted with the usual scorn: the Islamic supremacist media machine charged “Islamophobia,” on Fox Juan Williams said I was “fearmongering,” and the usual suspects made the usual ad hominem attacks. Yet everything that has happened since then has shown that I was right all along.

But Islamic supremacists and their allies and useful idiots in the mainstream media continue to peddle their soothing lies. The Islamic supremacist and adolescent mudslinger Reza Aslan was at West Virginia University last night speaking about the developments in the Middle East, and heaping more steaming piles of what he calls analysis on the hapless marks in his audience.

CAIR “Hails Sharia Victory in Florida” with help from the ADL
CAIR Florida Director Hassan Shibley and Interfaith Supporters

 

SB1360 –a bill to provide constitutional protections against adoption of foreign laws by domestic State courts died in the Florida Senate last night.  The legislation was poised to pass the Senate before the session ended given the passage on March 1st of a companion measure HB1209 by a vote of 92 to 24 in the Florida House.  This important measure would have barred application of foreign laws from Islamic countries like Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan.

What killed the bill was the emergence of opposition composed of Muslim Brotherhood front CAIR, fellow front group United Voices for America, the ACLU and the Anti-Defamation League (ADL).  A last minute amendment introduced by Coral Gables Republican Sen. Miguel Diaz de la Portillo may have given Senate President Mike Haridopolos the opportunity to quash it.  That was doubtless in response to Ahmed Bedier former CAIR-Tampa executive director and founder of United Voices of America (UVA) who labeled the legislation as hateful to Muslims and in violation of constitutional guarantees of freedom of worship. He was particularly outraged by the sponsor of SB1360, Sen. Alan Hays, and Republican from Umatilla, who passed copies of an anti-Sharia booklet to fellow members stating that it was a threat to the US Constitution.

David Yerushalmi, Esq., author of the American Law for American Courts model law commented:

The people’s representatives will do their job as they deem appropriate. If it passes, well. If not, there’s always next legislative session with a new freshman class.

Hassan Shibley, the Florida CAIR director noted the interfaith supporters that contributed to the “shariah victory” :

Stoned to death for being an emo: NINETY Iraqi students killed for having ‘strange hair and tight clothes’

Daily Mail:

  • Number of deaths could be even higher
  • Cleric calls the stonings ‘an act of terrorism’
  • Ministry of Interior ‘complicit’ in the killings

By Paul Milligan

More than 90 Iraqi students have been stoned to death for their Emo haircuts by religious extremists in Baghdad in the past month after Iraq’s  interior ministry dubbed it ‘devil worshipping’.

Iraq’s Moral Police released a statement on the interior ministry’s website condemning the ’emo phenomenon’ among Iraqi youth, declaring its intent to ‘eliminate’ the trend.

The move is part of a wider clampdown on young people taking on what government officials call ‘Western appearances’ in Iraq.

Iraqi activists said this unnamed teenager was brutally killed by religious police for having an 'emo' hairstyleIraqi activists said this unnamed teenager was brutally killed by religious police for having an ’emo’ hairstyle

‘The Emo phenomenon or devil worshipping is being followed by the Moral Police who have the approval to eliminate [the phenomenon] as soon as possible since it’s detrimentally affecting the society and becoming a danger,’ the statement read.

‘They wear strange, tight clothes that have pictures on them such as skulls and use stationary that are shaped as skulls. They also wear rings on their noses and tongues, and do other strange activities,’.

Since the statement was published religious extremists have been harassing and killing teenagers with ‘strange’ or ’emo’ appearances.

A group of armed men dressed in civilian clothing led dozens of teenagers to secluded areas a few days ago, stoned them to death, and then disposed their bodies in garbage dumpsters across the capital, according to activists, activists told the Cairo-based al-Akhbar website.

Egyptian Court Sentences Priest to Six Months for Excess Church Height

Posted on by

Read this carefully. This is sharia law. It is utterly and completely incompatible with any rational notion of justice. Only of Islamic supremacy in every imaginable way. It will be applied in Western nations exactly as it is here in Egypt at the first possible opportunity to do so.

Eeyore

AINA.ORG:

(AINA) — A court in Edfu has sentenced Reverend Makarios Bolous, pastor of St. George’s Church in the village of Elmarinab, Edfu, in the Aswan province, to six months prison and a fine of 300 pounds for violations in the height of the church building. The court also ordered the removal of the excess height.

The church had received a license from the Governor of Aswan and was still under construction, but it was torched by a Muslim mob on September 30, 2011 (AINA 10-1-2011). Construction workers had started removing the excess height before the torching of the church.

“Since then no work has been done to it. We are not allowed to pray there or come near it by order of the authorities,” said father Salib el-Deek of the Coptic diocese of Edfu. He said that they had proof that the church applied several times to the police to remove the excess, which it had started before the torching of the church, but were not granted permission. The police records were refused to be admitted as evidence by the court.
