STORY HIGHLIGHTS
  • A lightning strike occurred as people gathered for evening prayers, police said
  • Lightning struck a tin roof shed that was doubling as a mosque, police said
  • The strike occurred in Saraswati, some 200 kilometers from the capital of Dhaka.

Dhaka, Bangladesh (CNN) — At least 13 people were killed and 20 wounded when lightning struck a makeshift mosque in a remote village in northeast Bangladesh on Friday, police said.

The lightning strike occurred as people gathered for a special evening prayer known as taraweeh that is conducted during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.

“Multiple lightning strikes occurred during a storm when nearly 35 people gathered at a house in the village of Saraswati where they turned a tin roof shed into a makeshift mosque for the month of Ramadan as a regular mosque was far away,” Dharmapasha police chief Bayes Alam told CNN.

The village Saraswati is some 200 kilometers (124 miles) from the capital of Dhaka.

Horley mosque attack: Call for citizenship classes

Posted on by

It is interesting that the vast majority of people reading the following article by the BBC will nod silently and not give a moments thought to the fact that culture, religion, ideology and belief have little if anything to do with biology, and therefore no amount of hatred and contempt for any one of them can possibly be defined as ‘racism’ by any rational definition whatsoever. This of course, was a trick planted by the OIC with great effect. To equate discrimination based on ethnicity with religion. As a consequence, you see absurd stories like the one below:

BBC:

A Muslim politician in Surrey has called for citizenship classes to be reinstated in schools after his local mosque was desecrated.

Vandals threw eggs and alcohol at an Islamic centre in Horley as 400 people prayed inside.

Imran Khan, of the Conservative Muslim Forum, said lessons to prevent hatred should return to the curriculum.

Surrey Police said it recorded 200 crimes with a racial connection in the first half of the year.

Mr Khan, a former borough councillor, said: “What I can see from this is a clear opportunity to re-engage these people with the broader Horley community, and I think the best place to tackle this problem is within the schooling system.

“I think the citizenship education programme which is being taken out by Michael Gove [Education Secretary] should be reinstated.”

It staggers the imagination to realize that the genuine hatred, racism and incitement to genocide,  and political takeover and replacement of all laws and culture with sharia that takes place in these mosques many times a day somehow does not get stopped and charged with racism, while pointing out the truth of it does.

We can certainly thank the UK’s ministry of truth, The BBC, for that one.

 

Gavin Boby of Law and Freedom opposes another absurd giant mosque in a quiet English town

I believe that this may be the first one that Gavin has lost. However he should not have. This was shot on a hidden camera so it is a bit hard to watch but you get the idea. Gavin is one of the front line people actually doing something to oppose the Islamification of Western nations. He needs and deserves all of our support.

France: 200 new mosques being built, but they are not enough

(ANSAMed) – PARIS, JULY 25 – France has 2,200 active mosques totaling 300,000 square meters, but given that each worshiper needs at least one square meter of space, that number should double in order to adequately serve all the faithful, according to the French Council of the Muslim Faith, which represents the French Muslims before the national government.

Mega-Mosques: “Building a French Islam”

Posted on by

Gatestone Inst.

Its towering minaret, which has purposely been designed to change the suburb’s skyline by being taller than any church steeple in the neighborhood, is supposed to become the “new symbol of Islam in France.”

The Socialist government in France has inaugurated a new mega-mosque in Paris as a first step towards “progressively building a French Islam.”

The new mosque, located in the northern Paris suburb of Cergy-Pontoise, is not only vast in its dimensions (photo here), but is also highly visible and symbolic: its towering minaret, which has purposely been designed to change the suburb’s skyline by being taller than any church steeple in the neighborhood, is supposed to become the “new symbol of Islam in France.”

 

The blue-domed mega-mosque also has an important political dimension. French President François Hollande owes his May 6 electoral victory to the large turnout by Muslim voters, who cast the deciding votes that propelled Hollande into the Élysée Palace. It is now political payback time, and the mosque at Cergy is one of at least 150 new mosque projects that the Socialist government has pledged to support.

Speaking on behalf of President Hollande at the inauguration ceremony of the mosque in Cergy, French Interior Minister Manuel Valls articulated the Socialist government’s policy vis-à-vis the construction of new mosques in France. He declared: “A mosque, when it is erected in the city, says a simple thing: Islam has its place in France.”

The 2,000 square meter (21,500 square foot) three-story mega-mosque in Cergy can accommodate up to 1,500 worshippers at a time; it has two main prayer halls (one for men and one for women), ablution rooms, two kitchens, a tea room, an apartment and office for the imam, a funeral hall, classrooms and a multipurpose room.

Mosque’s Loud Prayer Generates Mega-Decibel ‘Battle of the Bands’

After the French Hill neighborhood of Jerusalem has decided to play very loud music, in defiance of the volume and disturbance of the sound of the muezzin at the mosque in nearby Al-Issawiya, two additional Jewish neighborhoods, Pisgat Ze’ev and Har Choma, have announced that they, too, will take up a similar approach. French Hill also decided to go with hard rock, and not Mediterranean tunes, as had originally been planned, because, as they put it, hard rock is more likely to deliver the message.

According to Yediot Jerusalem, the French Hill neighborhood has recently approached an amplification company with an order for four huge speakers to be directed at Al-Isawiya. As soon as the village muezzin will start his exceedingly loud prayer, it will be responded to with ear shattering Rock n’ Roll, letting local Arabs understand how disturbing the loud prayers have been to their Jewish neighbors.

Har Choma and Pisgat Ze’ev residents are waiting to see the results from the French Hill “pilot.” If the protest via rock blasts succeeds, the other two neighborhoods, situated on the border of the Jerusalem municipality, will follow suit.

Gavin Boby of Law and Freedom Foundation speaks in Brussels at the ICLA conference July 9 2012

It is with great pleasure that I post this video of Gavin Boby. This man is a hero. He has accomplished a great deal in the short time since he had the idea to use the law in the fight against the destruction of Western Liberal Democracy by Islam and their useful idiots on the political left. His approach is unique but I think will spread.

Eric Allen Bell tells the Islamic Center of Murfreesboro why he no longer supports their mega-mosque

The nearly completed mega-mosque of Murfreesboro

By Eric Allen Bell

Here is a slightly edited version of a letter Eric Allen Bell wrote to Abdou Kattih, Vice President of the Islamic Center of Murfreesboro, Tennessee, explaining why he no longer supports the mega-mosque there. The deed to the property for the mega-mosque is in Kattih’s name, and he appears to have ties to the Muslim Brotherhood-linked North American Islamic Trust (NAIT). Bell exposed his Muslim Brotherhood ties and designs on the community here.

Mr. Kattih -I wanted to contact you personally, for the record, and to make a few things clear. First, I want you to know that I strongly object to any and all hate speech that is directed at Muslims or any other group. I continue to be saddened when I think of the vandalism that your organization has endured, the threats and the mistreatment and bullying of Muslim children in the schools here.

Unlike some of the people who oppose you, I am able to separate in my mind, Islam from Muslims. A Muslim is a deeply indoctrinated human being who may or may not pose a threat to Liberty. Islam, on the other hand, is the antithesis of Liberty.

You see, my heart has not changed. I am not full of hate. I advocated for you and for the ICM because I believed that the backlash against your mega mosque was only based on religious intolerance and disrespect for civil rights. I still think that some of it is, and I find that regrettable. Some of the people who oppose you truly are bigots, and as an American, they embarass me.

Ruling from Murfreesboro Chancery Court Stops Mosque Opening

Imam Bahloul, Islamic Center of Murfreesboro

Source: Daily New Journal

This morning, Rutherford County Court Chancellor Robert E. Corlew, III issued a response to the Writ of Mandamus filed by Plaintiffs on June 6th and heard on June 13th.    Those legal actions were triggered by Corlew’s June 1st ruling that inadequate notice was provided the County’s citizens before the hearing of May 24, 2010 of the Regional Planning Commission approved the mega-mosque  for the Islamic Center of Murfreesboro (ICM). The June 1st ruling by Chancellor Corlew followed hearings on this issue in April 2012.  Effectively, the ruling today prevented the County from issuing a certificate of occupancy for the first phase of the expanded  ICM of over 12,500 square feet until all appeals by the plaintiffs under the Tennessee Open Meetings Act are concluded.  That may well prevent the new Mosque located at 2700 Veals Road from being opened  at this time prior to  the onset of the Islamic religious period of Ramadan that begins on July 20th.  Chancellor Corlew had directed the County to re-open hearings on the Mosque Approval based on notifications that met the standards of the Open Meetings Act.

Neighbours’ fury as council allows tiny bungalow to be used as an ‘illegal’ mosque for 200 worshippers

Posted on by

I wonder if this could be used as a precedent for non arse-lifters to turn their homes into illegal businesses.

The Daily Mail:

  • Islamic group insisted two-bedroom property was a home ‘used for the occasional meeting’
  • Now they say it is being used as a community centre – and apply for taxpayer funding to put on classes
  • Property was extended without planning permission
  • Neighbours have complained about noise, rubbish and extra traffic

A council has come under fire after an Islamic group extended a tiny two-bedroom bungalow to turn it into an ‘illegal’ mosque for 200 worshippers.

Residents are furious after being forced to endure noise at all hours of the day, congestion and bin bags strewn across the front garden.

Crowds of between 50 and 120 people gather at the mosque three times each week – and for big celebrations such as Eid there are several hundred.

The group bought the property in Westcliff, Essex, three years ago and extended it without planning permission and turning it into a mosque.

Undercover Mosque Sweden

Posted on by

It seems at least one media company in Sweden had the courage to examine what was being taught in Swedish mosques. They appear to have limited the field of inquiry to treatment of women and Swedish law, and ignored aspects of supremacy, hatred of Christians and Jews, teaching jihad and so on, but even so, it is quite revealing.

Let us hope this begins the journey back to sanity for the good people of Sweden.
