I’d do it again, says honour killer ABC News

There is a growing push in the Arab world to have men responsible for so-called honour killings treated as murderers by the courts.

Every year hundreds of women are killed by their husbands or brothers or another male family member for supposedly bringing shame on their families.

In many countries the honour killers are given leniency. Many men are not charged, or they spend only a few days or weeks in custody.

But Palestinian human rights groups have recently drafted their own amendments to have them treated as murderers.

Khaled Mahmoud, 21, admits beating his sister to death last year in the West Bank.

“She has made very wrong decisions,” he said.

“I started drinking then I got crazy. When I saw her I beat her. I smashed her head to the wall.”

His sister Asmaa – not her real name – was 23, a university student, and engaged to be married to another Muslim.

As brother and sister they were close, yet Mahmoud says she made the unforgivable mistake of sleeping with another man, a Christian, and brought enormous shame on the family. Continue Reading →

A few links for Monday Sept 20 2010

I have been quite busy and still am, trying to improve the audio and editing the Ayaan Hirsi Ali speech from Denmark Sept. 18 2010 so I have not been able to post as many stories as I would have liked to, not to mention the number of stories that actually need the attention. Here is a set of links that has crossed my desk in the past few days. By the way, congratulations to the SD party in Sweden that met and exceeded their expectations with something like 20 new members of the Swedish Parliament and especially congratulations to Kent Eckeroth, someone who Vlad has been subtitling speeches for, and promoting for quite a while now. Sweden is lucky to have him.

Eeyore for Vlad

Here is an audio-only interview with a man who wrote a book explaining how Obama has flagrantly violated his constitutionally limited powers in a variety of ways. He does not advocate impeachment and is not an extremist in any way but does detail how Obama is limiting individual liberties in the US and transforming America as he promised he would, but in ways he simply is not allowed legally to do.

Halal to the Queen? Britain’s Stealth Halal-ization

Andrew G. Bostom
Creeping Sharia has already extended to the dietary practices of British dhimmis, who are involuntarily consuming meats ritually slaughtered and prayed over in good Islamic practice.

Although this Daily Mail investigation of the stealth Islamization of the British meat industry is largely fixated on the “animal cruelty” aspect of the story, the findings provide another disturbing example of Britain’s steady Islamization, as evidenced by its “stealth halal-ization”:
….[S]chools, hospitals, pubs and famous sporting venues such as Ascot and Twickenham are controversially serving up meat slaughtered in accordance with strict Islamic law to unwitting members of the public. All the beef, chicken and lamb sold to fans at Wembley has secretly been prepared in accordance with sharia law, while Cheltenham College, which boasts of its ‘strong Christian ethos’, is one of several top public schools which also serves halal chicken to pupils without informing them. Even Britain’s biggest hotel and restaurant group Whitbread, which owns the Beefeater and Brewers Fayre chains, among many others, has admitted that more than three-quarters of its poultry is halal.

Here is one of my favourite examples of selective tiflosis. Israelis are frequently called racist for not allowing themselves to be subjected to sharia law and destroying themselves as a state, while the PA affirms the death penalty for selling land to Jews. To be clear, if a Muslim Arab sells property to a Jewish person or an Israeli in the west bank, he will be killed for this crime. PA has affirmed it. Yet oddly, this is not racist and does not seem to catch the attention of the west’s secular left. As Mr. Spock was wont to say, ‘facinating’.

PA affirms death penalty for land sales to Israelis

The PA says the land law is necessary to prevent the expansion of Jewish settlements in the West Bank and east Jerusalem.

The Palestinian Authority on Sunday reaffirmed the death penalty for any Palestinian found guilty of selling land to Israelis.

The decision came in response to a ruling by a Palestinian court according to which such acts were only a “minor offense.”

PA to ban work in settlements

PA Prosecutor-General Ahmed al-Mughni appealed against the ruling to a higher court, arguing that the sale of land to Israelis was a “major offense” punishable by death.

The appeal was accepted.

Foiled: woman bomber’s plot to blow herself up in central Paris

A female suicide bomber plotted to blow herself up in Paris last week, French spy agencies have revealed.

Intelligence services uncovered and thwarted the threat which was planned for a “busy part of Paris” on Thursday, RTL radio said.

French domestic intelligence chief Bernard Squarcini warned at the weekend that France‘s burka ban had “seriously increased” the risk of a major terrorist attack.

Mr Squarcini said “all the red lights were flashing” over the likelihood that Islamist extremists would bomb French cities.

The risk was as high as in 1995 when a bomb planted by Algeria‘s Armed Islamic Group killed eight and wounded 80 more at the Saint-Michel Metro station.

Mr Squarcini warned: “France’s role in Afghanistan, its foreign policy and the debate over the law banning the burka have all increased the risk.”

The alert over the female suicide bomber was revealed to RTL radio on Monday. The station said: “The intelligence service learned last Wednesday night that a female suicide bomber was plotting to commit a terrorist act in a busy part of Paris on Thursday. Continue Reading →

Britain goes halal… but no-one tells the public: How famous institutions serve ritually slaughtered meat with no warning

A Mail on Sunday investigation – which will alarm anyone concerned about animal cruelty – has revealed that schools, hospitals, pubs and famous sporting venues such as Ascot and Twickenham are controversially serving up meat slaughtered in accordance with strict Islamic law to unwitting members of the public.

All the beef, chicken and lamb sold to fans at Wembley has secretly been prepared in accordance with sharia law, while Cheltenham College, which boasts of its ‘strong Christian ethos’, is one of several top public schools which also serves halal chicken to pupils without informing them.

Even Britain’s biggest hotel and restaurant group Whitbread, which owns the Beefeater and Brewers Fayre chains, among many others, has admitted that more than three-quarters of its poultry is halal.

Animal welfare campaigners have long called for a ban on the traditional Islamic way of preparing meat – which involves killing animals by drawing a knife across their throats, without stunning them first – saying it is cruel and causes unnecessary pain.

Sharia law expressly forbids knocking the animal out with a bolt gun, as is usual in British slaughter­houses. Instead, it must be sentient when its throat is cut, and the blood allowed to drip from the carcass while a religious phrase in praise of Allah is recited.

The extent of halal meat consumption, even in areas of Britain with a very small Muslim population, was revealed as the Pope, on his first visit to Britain, expressed fears that the country was not doing enough to preserve traditional Christian values and customs.

In a strongly worded speech to Parliament, he said: ‘There are those who argue that the public celebration of festivals such as Christmas should be discouraged, in the questionable belief that it might somehow offend those of other religions or none.’

But it is animal rights groups which have been most vociferous in their opposition to halal slaughter. Campaign organisation Viva!, whose supporters include Heather Mills and Joanna Lumley, said in a statement: ‘Other practices which may be undertaken for religious reasons, such as polygamy or the stoning of adulterers, are not permitted in the UK.

‘Religious freedom does not override other moral considerations and the suffering caused by this form of slaughter is so severe that it cannot be allowed to prevent action to be taken. Consumers can do their bit by boycotting places that persist in selling meat from unstunned animals.’

An RSPCA spokesman added: ‘The public have a right to know how their meat is produced. Many people are extremely concerned about animal welfare. What The Mail on Sunday has discovered shows that people are not being kept informed. The key to a more humane death for these animals is that they are stunned before slaughter.’ Continue Reading →

More arrests for ‘hate crimes’ in the UK

Posted on by

Things are clearly heating up. Authorities are so afraid of the inevitable backlash that Orwellian policies of thought control are creating, they are arresting people for burning certain books, even if those books are the legal property of the person burning them. The point is made in this article that no one is being arrested for burning the sacred texts of other religions but only burning Islamic texts. For me that isnt the point. If people were being arrested for burning Darwin’s Origin of Species, I would be out burning copies of it in the street even though I agree with every word of it and think it is one of the most important books ever written.

The point is, we must never, in a free society, allow any group amongst us or elsewhere, determine what we must respect or hold sacred. We give the right to all people to choose for themselves what they may hold sacred and that itself is a rare and truly precious right. But it must not be confused with allowing people to force others to hold those same things sacred through thuggery or law or any other means.

This must be understood and now or we are lost.

Eeyore for Vlad.

We Are Offended! From the EDL web site

Saturday, 18 September 2010 08:27

Today we have learned that police have arrested two men under the Racial and Religious Hatred Act. Their crime? To burn a copy of the Quran.

The Quran is the ‘Bible’ of the Islamic faith. It contains the Muslims’ holy scriptures and is regarded as the literal word of God. Muslims treat the Quran with respect that borders on reverence. They are taught only to hold the Quran with a certain hand, and will often use a book-stand to read it from so as not to touch it. Although Christians will happily write in their Bibles, make notes and underline important teachings, Muslims would be horrified if anyone was to do that to a Quran.

On the surface it is easy to regard the burning of a Quran as a religious, or even, racial hate crime. But is it? Does burning a Quran demonstrate a true hatred of the whole Muslim population?

Some would suggest it does. But would the same be true if we were speaking of the holy scriptures of a different religion? Other religious books are burned around the world on a regular basis. Bibles, for instance, are burned or at least confiscated every day in the Islamic world. What’s more, their owners are routinely discriminated against, arrested, and even tortured and imprisoned.

It is not difficult to see how the burining of a Quran could cause offence. But surely that could be true of any book, to a greater or lesser extent? Why is it so important that we acknowledge the status of Muslims as victims? Why are we so happy to condemn those who would burn a copy of the Quran, but appear less interested when a Bible or a Torah is burnt to ashes?

These questions are all the more difficult to answer when you consider that the Islamic world is probably the worst offender when it comes to religious intolerance. Continue Reading →

“Justice Must Not Be Made the Handmaiden of Sharia”

Elisabeth Sabaditsch-Wolff at ACT! For America
We have reported previously on the pending “hate speech” case against our Austrian correspondent Elisabeth Sabaditsch-Wolff. The most recent post featured a CBN news report about her (links to the earlier articles are at the bottom of this post).

For the last ten months Ms. Sabaditsch-Wolff has had the possibility of a formal charge hanging over her head, based on what she said last November in a seminar she gave about Islam. She has been waiting for the other shoe to drop, and now it seems that the red patent-leather stiletto heel of Austrian “justice” has finally thumped against the floor.

EUSSRThe travesty of the matter is that Ms. Sabaditsch-Wolff did not learn of the charge filed against her through a court document.

She received no official summons.

It was not communicated through her lawyer.

No, that’s not the way they do things in modern multicultural Austria. As is typical of the corrupt soft-totalitarian state known as the “European Union”, she learned of the official charge via the Austrian media.

Here’s what she told me in an email:

I just had a long talk with my legal representation. This is a huge judicial scandal. My lawyer has tried to get the documents detailing my case and the charges. In vain. the public prosecutor cited “computer problems”, the clerks said there is a note in my case that nothing is to be made public (wonder why the media knew about it then), and he was shoved from clerk to clerk, getting nothing. So far we know that I will be tried, but nothing else.

I have nothing whatsoever in my hands. I cannot defend myself at the moment because neither my lawyer nor I know the precise charges.

It makes me wonder about our judicial system. It is outrageous that the media in both Germany and Austria knew about this before the accused. Continue Reading →

A Christian Worshipper Stabbed and A Minister Beaten in Indonesia

In Indonesia, a Christian worshipper was stabbed in the stomach and a minister was beaten with a wooden plank on the head.

Asia Sihombing, a worshipper was entering the church when the assailants jumped off a motorcycle and stabbed him on the stomach.

The Rev. Luspida Simahuntak came out from the church with an intention to help the victim but her head was smashed with a wooden plank.

Indonesia is a predominantly Muslim country with a population of about 237 million. The country has the highest number of Muslims than any other country in the world.

Indonesia is considered a secular country and claims to have religious tolerance.

A group called Islamic Defenders Front is trying to implement Islamic Law and they are known for persecuting non-Muslims.

This group often harasses the church members. They throw shoes and water bottles towards the church members, and interrupt sermon by chanting, “Infidels!” and “Leave Now!” The even dump feces in the church area.

The Islamic group denied any involvement in the attack but the police said they already have identified the attacker and planning to arrest the perpetrator.

Interestingly, the attacker was not arrested immediately and the police declared they would capture the perpetrator today, which may give the attacker enough time to escape.

Schlussel Files Federal Suit Against Muslim Principal, Dearborn Public Schools Over Discrimination Against Christians; HOW YOU CAN HELP

By Debbie Schlussel

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – September 7, 2010

DETROIT, MI–The Law Offices of Debbie Schlussel, a Detroit-area law firm, today, announced the filing of a federal lawsuit against Imad Fadlallah, the Muslim man who was, until July, the principal of Dearborn’s Fordson High School, a tax-funded public high school, the student body of which is overwhelmingly Muslim (more than 90%). The suit is also against Fadlallah’s employer at all times relevant to the actions referred to in the suit, the Dearborn Public Schools, which, as noted in the complaint, was aware of the behavior alleged in the suit.  As stated in the lawsuit, the action filed by Schlussel’s clients, Bryan Purcell and Georgene Stergalas, concerns the continued harassment of them by Fadlallah and other school personnel because they are Christian and not Muslim or of Arabic heritage.  The suit was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan.

Please click here to read the rest of this startling and important article. It seems parts of the US are already fighting to retain any fragment of a non-Islamic heritage. As bad as one thinks things are, they are far far worse.

Opposing Hassan al-Banna and the Muslim Brotherhood Is Not Some Kind of Racism.

A reply to Issam Saleh, the Muslim Brotherhood leader who threatens to sue Edmontonians opposed to the opening of an Islamic school in their neighbourhood

By Marc Lebuis and Étienne Harvey

After they learned about the Muslim Association of Canada’s intentions to run an Islamic school in their Lessard/Gariepy area of Edmonton, 60% of the residents signed a petition opposing the project. [CTV – August 20, 2010]

Initially their objections were based on zoning considerations. As they learned more and more about the ideological background of the Muslim Association of Canada (MAC), their objections came to include the danger of having an organisation openly supporting jihad and suicide bombing that would run a school in their neighbourhood. The Lessard Petition Campaign has set up its own website to explain the motives supporting its opposition.

The MAC is the Canadian branch of the Muslim Brotherhood (MB), an organization whose motto concludes with “Jihad is our way” and “Dying in the way of Allah is our highest hope”. A previous article published on Point de Bascule exposed the totalitarian ideology of the organization and that of its founder Hassan al-Banna. On its own website, the MAC pledges to implement al-Banna’s ideology as “the best representation of Islam”.

Unable to refute the objections brought up by the residents, Issam Saleh, the MAC leader in Edmonton, tried to silence his critics by threatening to sue them for so-called “Islamophobia” in the Edmonton Sun [August 19, 2010].

The very notion of Islamophobia has been developed in the late eighties by Islamists to make their critics pass for irrational haters of Muslims. The MB’s recourse to this concept is flawed for the simple fact that many of its critics are Muslims themselves. Many of the most eloquent expositions written against the MB’s ideology have been produced by Muslims. Many of the most courageous stands against the MB have been taken by Muslims. Consequently, condemning the MB cannot be equated to condemning Muslims in general. Continue Reading →

Iranian woman facing death by stoning is ‘lashed 99 MORE times’ after newspaper prints picture of her without headscarf

Lashings: Sakineh Mohammad Ashtiani was allegedly whipped 99 times after an incorrect picture of her appeared in a newspaper

An Iranian widow sentenced to death by stoning for adultery has been lashed 99 times for ”spreading corruption and indecency” after a newspaper published an alleged picture of her without a headscarf, her son said last night.

Sakineh Mohammad Ashtiani, 43, was convicted of “adultery while being married” and given the death penalty after a trial over her husband’s murder in 2006.

The widow’s son Sajad, 22, has campaigned for her to be released and after the plight caused international uproar her execution was halted in July.

But supporters’ hopes have been dashed after Sajad said that his mother has been whipped 99 times after an apparent picture of her without traditional head-dress appeared in The Times last week.

The newspaper quickly withdrew the picture claiming it was of a different Iranian woman living in Sweeden but Sajad now fears that his mother could be hanged.

He said the photograph was an excuse to punish his mother and that the hardline Iranian government’s real purpose was to silence the international campaign to save her.

‘If it wasn’t the picture they would have found another excuse to try and silence her supporters outside Iran’, he said.

The Times said that it had been sent the photo “in good faith” by Mohammad Mostafaei, who was Sakineh’s lawyer in Tehran until he was forced to flee Iran at the end of July for publicising her plight.

PARIS | Tue Aug 31, 2010 12:48pm EDT

PARIS (Reuters) – A French fast food chain announced on Tuesday it would almost triple its line of halal hamburger restaurants because sales had doubled in a trial that sparked a heated debate about the integration of Muslims.

The Quick chain of 358 restaurants around France said it would boost its halal-only outlets to 22 on Wednesday after the trial in eight areas with a strong Muslim population also saw a doubling of customers and a rise in the amounts they spent.

Quick, which is a challenger to the U.S. hamburger chain McDonald’s and runs franchises in seven other countries including Belgium, Russia and Algeria, said the move was purely commercial.

“We’re in a very competitive market and we’re the challenger,” said General Manager Jacques-Edouard Charret, whose company competes against about 1,150 outlets for the U.S.-based McDonald’s.

“We are not a philanthropy or a charity,” he told a news conference. “Our ambition is to develop Quick’s turnover and create jobs. And it’s going well.”

Asked if the halal-only outlets would separate Muslims from other customers, he said: “To the contrary, this is an opening. It’s a restaurant where Muslims, Catholics and Jews can eat the same product without bothering anyone.”

Quick came in for criticism earlier this year when its trial, which sold only halal beef and replaced bacon with smoked turkey, hit national headlines. Agriculture Minister Bruno Le Maire said ethnic marketing like this was against French values.

The mayor of a town with a halal Quick threatened a law suit for discrimination against non-Muslims. A far-right leader accused the company of imposing an “Islamic tax” on customers because part of the meat price goes to Muslim clerics who certify it was slaughtered according to Islamic law.
