Abbas Iqbal, 24, gathered a stockpile of weapons at the family home in Blackburn, while his brother, Ilyas, 23, studied and compiled information on guerrilla warfare.

A jury at Manchester Crown Court found Abbas guilty of dissemination of terrorist publications and preparing for acts of terrorism. Ilyas was found guilty of possession of a document likely to be useful to a terrorist.

A third man, Muhammad Ahmad, 26, was cleared of preparing for an act of terrorism. Both brothers will be sentenced later this afternoon. Continue Reading →

Islamic students refusing to share “multi-faith” prayer room

From Secularism.org:

A row over an Islamic prayer room that was recently closed at City University in London is threatening to turn into a religious war as Muslim students refuse to share a “multi-faith” space with non-Muslims. Instead, the Muslim students are using the pavement outside the college for their prayers.

The Muslim students say they can’t share with others because “a vast number of Muslim scholars throughout history believe it is impermissible for Muslims to offer prayers in a place where [a god] other than our Lord, Allah, is worshipped”. All-male groups have been praying on the pavement outside City since 15 February, with more than 200 reportedly turning up for Friday prayers in Northampton Square.

The protest follows a fight between members of the City Islamic Society and a gang of youths last November outside a building which previously housed the Muslim prayer room. Police described the attack, in which two students were stabbed, as racially aggravated. Earlier the same week, students reported being pelted with stones as they left the room. Continue Reading →

New “CAIR Observatory” website connects the dots on CAIR’s foreign funding and lobbying

March 17, 2010: WASHINGTON, DC – The Center for Security Policy announces the launch of the website CAIR Observatory at www.cairobservatory.org.

The website presents comprehensive open-source evidence and analysis alleging that the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has acted as a foreign agent on behalf of Iran, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait.

The Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) requires any agent of a foreign principal – including agents of foreign states, political parties, corporations, non-governmental organizations and even individuals – to register with the U.S. Department of Justice as a foreign agent.

The centerpiece of the website is the report “CAIR and the Foreign Agents Registration Act,” which details the foreign funding, foreign direction and domestic political influence operations of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) in the United States.

The report documents these CAIR activities as a foreign agent:
• CAIR received at least $2,192,203 in Contributions, Income and Money from foreign principals in the form of 10 distinct transactionsReceived a $2,106,251 mortgage loan from a foreign principal for their Washington, D.C. headquarters
• CAIR secured the promise of at least $54,500,000 in pledges from foreign principals
• CAIR met and coordinated with foreign principals on at least 30 occasions
• CAIR engaged in at least 50 political influence operations on behalf of foreign principals in the United States
The Center has additional evidence that cannot be made public at this time documenting an additional $2.4 million in foreign donations and loans given to CAIR since 2000.

The goal of the “CAIR Observatory” (http://www.cairobservatory.org/) is to build a model for researching and compiling evidence of illegal behavior by Muslim Brotherhood front organizations, with a focus on organizations operating in the United States as unregistered foreign agents for the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) and its member states.

The website’s name– “CAIR Observatory”– is a direct counter to the so-called “Islamophobia Observatory” maintained by the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC).  The Jeddah, Saudi Arabia-based OIC has been a contributor to CAIR, and the two have a history of coordinated meetings, methodologies and goals.  The website will be updated regularly with new evidence on CAIR’s ongoing activities as a currently unregistered foreign agent.
The Center for Security Policy is a non-profit, non-partisan national security organization that specializes in identifying policies, actions, and resource needs that are vital to American security and then ensures that such issues are the subject of both focused, principled examination and effective action by recognized policy experts, appropriate officials, opinion leaders, and the general public.

Erdogan urges German Turks not to integrate

The Turkish government has reportedly angered Turkish-German politicians by inviting them to an Istanbul conference and then urging them to resist political and social integration in their adopted homeland.

At the meeting last month, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan urged Turks living in foreign countries to take out citizenship of the new homelands – not to integrate, but rather to become more politically active, according to the website of news magazine Der Spiegel.

Ali Ertan Toprak, deputy chairman of the Alevi community in Germany, told the magazine government representatives had said: “We have to inject European culture with Turkish.”

Erdogan told the meeting countries that did not allow dual citizenship violated basic rights and also likened Islamophobia to anti-Semitism.

Participants told Spiegel that Erdogan repeated elements of his widely criticised speech in Cologne in 2008 in which he said: “Assimilation is a crime against humanity.” Continue Reading →

Insurgent video shows Toronto student

Mohammed Elmi Ibrahim

Mohammed Elmi Ibrahim

 CBC News has confirmed the identity of a Toronto man — believed to have joined an al-Qaeda-linked group in Somalia and killed in battle — on an insurgent group’s online video.

Mohammed Elmi Ibrahim, an English major at the University of Toronto, can be seen on the two-minute, nine-second video made in Saudi Arabia, in which he discusses the historical significance of his location.

According to a message that accompanies the video found on the al-Shabab website, Ibrahim was killed in battle, although his death has not been officially confirmed.

The message with the video, addressed to Canadian youth, says: “Dont be sadden [sic] but rather rejoice in the news of your dear brother and follow his foot steps and march forth in the ranks of the honest mujahideen, al Shabaab mujahideen.”

Ibrahim, who went by the nickname “Canlish” and was in his early 20s, disappeared at least a year ago and is believed to have joined the Somalian insurgent group al-Shabab. The group was recently added to the Canadian government’s terrorist list.

The designation came as members of the Somalian-Canadian community have reported that the group is trying to radicalize and recruit young Canadians.

Ibrahim had gone with a group to make the Islamic pilgrimage to Mecca known as hajj. But he did not return with the group, and that’s when his family and intelligence agents in Canada concluded he had gone to fight with al-Shabab.

At least five other young Canadians, who all belonged to the same mosque as Ibrahim and have not been seen since last September, are also believed to have joined al-Shabab.

Norwegian TV pulls clip from youtube

Here is an interesting little 16 minute video essay about a white Norwegian family that decided to live the multicultural experiment using their son as a Guinea pig.  A youtuber who goes by TheThirdLink decided it was important enough to subtitle in English and post to youtube.

The Norwegian TV station that did this clip made youtube take it down, but interestingly none of the other clips that this same user also had from the station.

In any case it is an important clip. Please watch and spread the link to all you know before it gets pulled from where it is now. Also, please download it for yourselves, if you know how, so that it can be mirrored in future and perhaps sent by email as a smaller clip.

Eeyore for Vlad.

An Irish Islamic website which argues for the introduction of “Sharia” law in Ireland had nearly 270,000 hits last month alone.

The site is targeted at what it calls Irish “O’Muslims,” the Muslim Public Affairs Council website, www.mpac.ie.

Sharia refers to the “way” Muslims should live or the “path” they must follow. Sharia is derived from the sacred text of Islam (the Koran) and traditions gathered from the life of the Islamic prophet Mohammed. Sharia deals with many aspects of life, including crime, politics, economics, banking, business, contracts, family, sexuality, hygiene, and social issues.

An Irish Islamic website which argues for the introduction of “Sharia” law in Ireland had nearly 270,000 hits last month alone.

An editorial post says introducing Sharia is a patriotic duty.

“And who could doubt that establishing the authority of Allah in the land is in the best interests of Ireland?” it asks. Continue Reading →

Antisemitism in Malmo Sweden

Here is the first of two videos recently found on Norwegian media on this issue. This one is an interview with a Jewish family who is moving to Israel. The next, one I hope to have tomorrow, will show teachers who are not even Jewish but who are afraid to show their faces or voices discussing this issue for fear of reprisal from Muslim children who spread violent hate of Jews in schools in Sweden.

Thank you very much KitmanTV for staying up way past any sane hour and working hard to translate this video for us all.

Britain: backlash at the mosque.

Backlash at the mosque

The influence of Muslim fundamentalists in east London is being challenged, says Andrew Gilligan .

By Andrew Gilligan
Published: 7:14PM GMT 13 Mar 2010

In the two weeks since the Islamic Forum of Europe were exposed by The Sunday Telegraph and Channel 4’s Dispatches as hardline fundamentalists secretly infiltrating the political system, they have been furiously protesting their “proven track record of community cohesion”. Last week, however, the organisation showed its true face.

“We’ve tracked you down,” said the IFE’s community affairs co-ordinator, Azad Ali, in a webcast targeting the Channel 4 reporter “Atif”, who went undercover at the IFE’s headquarters, the East London Mosque, filming the group’s true views – and its boasts that it controlled the local Tower Hamlets council. “Yes, Atif, we’ve got a picture of you and a lot more than you thought we had. We’ve tracked you down to different places. And if people are gonna turn what I’ve just said into a threat, that’s their fault, innit?”

Mr Ali’s words sit strangely with his role as an official advisor to the Director of Public Prosecutions, Keir Starmer, and to the police, but perhaps his annoyance is understandable. The undercover reporters filmed him saying: “Democracy, if it means not implementing the sharia, no one’s going to agree with that.”

The reporters found that, far from its protestations of being merely a “social welfare organisation”, the IFE is an organised political movement dedicated to creating an “Islamic social and political order” through “entryism” into mainstream democratic institutions. Continue Reading →

France: schoolboy sprays teacher with teargas for describing al-Qaeda as terrorists

French teacher sprayed with tear gas by student after calling al-Qaeda ‘terrorists’

Agence France-Presse Published: Wednesday, March 10, 2010

A 15-year-old French schoolboy sprayed a teacher with tear gas after she described al-Qaeda as a “terrorist group.” “I had just explained that the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, were carried out by the terrorist organization al-Qaeda, as is written in the textbook,” said the history teacher, speaking on condition of anonymity. “He stood up and declared that al-Qaeda is not terrorist and that neither is the Taliban,” she said, adding that the boy then pulled out a spray can and doused her and a teaching assistant with tear gas. Neither victim was seriously hurt. Both staff members, who work in the small school in the central French village of Largentiere, made a criminal complaint against the boy, state prosecutors confirmed. Al-Qaeda, a loose global organization of violent Islamist extremists under the nominal leadership of Osama bin Laden, boasted of carrying out the 9/11 attacks on New York and Washington.

Video on voting fraud,Muslim areas of Holland

subtitles and description by our ever vigilant ‘V.H.’

A short news clip about voter fraud in Rotterdam, Holland, seemingly against the Leefbaar Rotterdam (“Livable Rotterdam”) party, the orphaned party of Pim Fortuyn in that city, to the benefit of the local PvdA (Labour Party, Socialists). The same happened in other highly Muslim areas of Holland. The PVV is not (yet) represented in the municipality of Rotterdam, but Geert Wilders has always openly supported Leefbaar Rotterdam.

Something is Rotten in Rotterdam

Taken verbatim from Gates of Vienna:

Our Flemish correspondent VH has compiled a report about massive voting fraud during the recent municipal elections in Rotterdam, mainly in immigrant neighborhoods. His account reminds me of what happened in Philadelphia in November 2008, when armed New Black Panther auxiliaries at the polling stations made certain that white voters understood who was in charge of Philly.

VH includes this explanatory note:

What happened in Rotterdam is something for others in Europe to be aware of at their next local or national elections. An official from Leefbaar Rotterdam visited polling stations in immigrant neighborhoods early in the morning, to see whether the voting process went neatly and according to law, but he was shocked at what he encountered, at almost any polling station he went to visit. Many complaints and witness reports followed later that day (when the outcome was still fully unknown). This happened previously in Rotterdam and Amsterdam in 2006, and also occurred in other cities last week. But it seems the worst cases were of fraud and intimidation were in Rotterdam.

Rotterdam vote fraudIn the Netherlands, immigrants without a Dutch passport and/or knowledge of Dutch language are allowed to vote in municipal elections.

The photo at right was taken at one of those polling stations, showing people together in a voting booth telling someone who to vote for.

Below is an article from Contradicere, as translated by VH:

Municipal elections in Rotterdam: what happened?

by Contradicere

Rotterdam Mayor Ahmed Aboutaleb admits that unauthorized things took place in the polling stations in his city.

Aboutaleb [finally] admits that it has been proven that in at least 13 polling stations voters were influenced to vote for a certain party. Sometimes even by parties present there. Possibly even by the staff present there.

In a number of polling stations people huddled together in a voting booth. In a significant number of cases this was done under the eye of the polling staff, who did not interfere. In some cases it was tolerated.

There are cases which go beyond imagination. In a number of cases witnesses speak in particular about the elderly — including indigenous people — where intimidated even into the voting booth to vote for a “certain” (read: PvdA, Socialists, Labour) party.

In some cases people came into the polling stations with a letter especially for those who do not speak the Dutch language, which contained instructions on which party to vote for (PvdA) and even which candidate. Continue Reading →
