Four Chechens beat Vienna men (for non sharia compliance)
What this article does not say is that this is about the enforcement of the sharia in Europe. It uses a more general euphemism of ‘morality’ so that the blame can be better spread across all religious systems, as if somehow Christians or Buddhists beat up on their own members for not eating lake trout at Friday supper.
An original translation by Nash Montana with much thanks:
From this German News Site:
Self appointed “moral enforcers” from Chechnia severely beat two men in the Millennium City in the Vienna district Brigittenau. The religious zealots harassed a defenseless woman and her daughters. Subsequently they heavily injured the father and a witness who came to the aid of the women.
The bone of contention: A woman was on her way to a Disco after 23.00 hours with her daughters and their girlfriends. Suddenly four Chechen asylum seekers appeared, which already are known for being willing to use violence to enforce their moral views. The four Morality terrorists objected loudly that at this late hour of the night that the young women were still out, and they were physically abusive towards the women.
The shocked mother called her husband and asked him to come for help. As he arrived, he immediately was attacked and knocked to the ground. A 45-year old witness of the situation wanted to help the victim – only to also be attacked brutally and he had to be admitted to the hospital with severe wounds. “As my son lay in the ambulance, suddenly blood was gushing out of his jacket”, said the father of the computer technician to the “Krone”. The police are investigating.

Woman Dismembered by Imam for Wearing a Bathing Suit
(For those people who still think that sharia law is something we decide on as an act of Parliament and then agree to, and therefore it will never happen, pay close attention to this story. Sharia law happens because religious muslims make it happen, because its more important to them than any possible consequences to them by our own legal system. Which usually amounts to nothing, or a few months in a federally funded mosque and dawa center we affectionately remember as ‘prisons’)
From Gates of Vienna:
Many thanks to par0 for the translation:
He had condemned a Pakistani couple to death because they wore bathing costumes to go to the seaside. Today the imam goes on trial.
In 2011 in the area of Gardone Val Trompia (Brescia) two Pakistanis were killed because they had violated Islamic law: they had worn swimsuits on the beach. Condemning them was the imam of Zingonia (Bergamo) Muhammad Zulkifal, a member of a cell of Al Qaeda with its operational base in Olbia. Zulkifal has always claimed “the role of moral guardian of the community and the right to inflict exemplary punishment to enforce divine law.”
The double murder was accidentally discovered by investigators, thanks to an interception in 2012. Two foreigners, never identified, had asked a Lodi photographer to extract images from a mobile phone. Once at work, the man had found the photos sought by the two, depicting a young Pakistani woman with her face swollen, her arms amputated at the elbows and legs to the knees. The limbs were placed close to the body, “according to the technique used by the Taliban” the investigators had highlighted.

Chaos in Sweden? Scotland joining the West as neo-totalitarian and more: Links 1 on Feb. 27 – 2016
1. Total chaos in the Swedish police: ‘Minimal risk of being arrested’
(Well that worked out well, didn’t it?)
The Swedish police is in such trouble that the likelihood of being arrested now is minimal, something that is beneficial to both drunk drivers, drug dealers, petty criminals and extremists. However, it is not so outstandingly great for law abiding ordinary citizens, who will suffer.
A reorganization to make the police more effective commenced January 1, 2015, but a year after the largest police reform in the history of Sweden, the fiasco is a fact.
– As long as you know where traffic cameras are you can drive as fast as you want. You can sell drugs openly and these are good times if you want to be an extremist, says Bo Wennström, Professor of Law at Uppsala University, to the Swedish newspaper ETC.
The police reorganization has failed on almost all points. The Union warns that police officers are no longer allowed to be police officers and that all the special skills are filtered out as the 21 precincts have been merged into one.
2. Swedish PM: The government is preparing for chaos
r chaos
Prime Minister Stefan Löfven and the government is preparing a backup plan for a new refugee crisis – which the EU refuses to cooperate with.
According to the Prime Minister, the time is running out for a joint solution between the countries.
– If the EU does not agree, there is a great risk of chaos, says Löfven.
The statement from Prime Minister Stefan Löfven, came during a visit to the Volvo Cars factory in Torslanda, Gothenburg, writes Aftonbladet.
He said that the time for the EU countries to agree on the distribution of refugees is running out. Sweden, together with countries such as Austria and Germany have pushed hard in the question of asking other countries to take joint responsibility for the refugees coming to Europe, but so far they have not come to a solution.
With Trudeau, Canada has its own Obama and the results are exactly what you would expect.
The federal Liberals are getting started on repealing some of the previous government’s sweeping — and controversial — changes to how people get or lose Canadian citizenship.
But the Liberal plan promises to be controversial in its own right, since it would, if passed, restore the Canadian citizenship of Zakaria Amara — sentenced in 2010 for his role as a member of the so-called Toronto 18.
Immigration Minister John McCallum introduced a new bill Thursday that, if passed, would remove terrorism or other crimes against the national interest as grounds for revoking citizenship from dual nationals.
5. Canada: Senior Imam mocks the Western idea of “marital rape”
Sheik Houssein Muhammad Amer (???? ???? ????) is the Imam of Centre Aljisr (???? ????? ????????) in Laval, Quebec also a member of Quebec council of Imams.
In a lecture at Al-Rawdah Mosque in Montreal (published on September 2, 2015), Imam Houssein Amer mocked the Western idea of “marital rape” and explained the differences between the West and Islam in this regard.
The following are excerpts of Houssein Amer’s speech (originally in Arabic):
“According to the Western view, the woman who is a spouse – her husband is not allowed to force her to have sex with him. It is forbidden. Why? Because, this is her freedom [of choice]. They [the West] were the first to establish the term of “marital rape”. Is it possible that a husband rapes his wife? Yes. He forces her to have sex with him. It is forbidden. Mistake. She may complain. Glory be to Allah.
(PM Trudeau explained to Canadians that Islamic law is 100% compatible with Western democratic ones)
6. Navy engineer with secret access accused of concealing double life as Iranian citizen
“Baker’s alleged fraud appears to span his entire 30-year career as a Navy civilian and has raised questions about whether authorities missed red flags that should have disqualified him from access to secrets.” No doubt about that whatsoever. More Iranian chicanery inside the United States, with which they are at war:
A 30-year Navy engineer with access to government secrets has been indicted on charges of lying about his dual Iranian citizenship and creating false identities to conceal his ongoing ties and money he received from overseas.
U.S. federal prosecutors are accusing Naval Sea Systems Command employee James Robert Baker, a naturalized U.S. citizen born in Iran, of lying about his holding an active Iranian passport and using four separate social security numbers to open bank accounts, move money and shield his income from taxes — including an unexplained overseas wire transfer of $133,902 in 2009.
Baker, who changed his name from Majid Karimi when he became a U.S. citizen in 1985, faces 14 counts on charges including lying on his SF-86 security clearance questionnaire, identification documents fraud and social security fraud, which could bring a maximum sentence of nearly 70 years in prison.
(It will be interesting to see how much time he actually spends behind bars given he is working for a state openly claiming to be at war with the US and the West, Vs. the one guy convicted of spying for Israel, who passed some sensitive but outdated info to ally Israel in the 90s and spent something like 25 years behind bars. My guess is Obama will trade this guy if Iran takes the rest of the Gitmo detainees)
7. Islam. Riding the whale for 1400 years
8. Multiple islamic newspapers in Canada call for the mass murder of Jews and jihad as a sacred duty
“A number of community newspapers, such as Windsor’s Al Forqan, are directly contributing to the radicalization of Canadian youth by glamorizing murder as a sacred religious duty,” said Michael Mostyn, Chief Executive Officer, B’nai Brith Canada. “Articles such as the one recently published in Al Forqan entitled “The Duty of Jihad”, are a great cause for concern.
Mostyn added, “For more than 30 years, B’nai Brith has compiled an Annual Audit of Antisemitic Incidents. The data gleaned from our extensive history of recording such incidents strongly suggests a correlation between rhetoric, such as that found in Al Forqan, and increasing levels of antisemitism. Calls for violent Jihad and support for listed terrorist groups have no place in a civilized democracy.”
(Prime Minister Trudeau clearly stated that islamic values are fully compatible with Canadian ones. Its also surprising to see a Jewish advocacy organization advocating for Jewish interests as opposed to cultural Marxist ones, as Jewish orgs. have been coopted much like gay, feminist, black and every other conceivable demographic has been, to advance the Frankfurt School agenda)

10. Police Scotland Warns Twitter Users: Big Brother Is Watching You
Police Scotland, which is responsible for policing the whole of Scotland, has taken to Twitter to warn people that they are continuing to “monitor comments on social media”, and that “any offensive comments will be investigated.” The Tweet, posted at 3:49pm yesterday afternoon, has been retweeted nearly 700 times.
The Tweet was met with a storm of opprobrium from fellow Twitter users, with some questioning what would be deemed “offensive”, whilst others simply swore. A good number of the replies questioned the legitimacy of Police Scotland’s tweet. Jamie Foster ?replied “It is excellent to know you have a budget to do that. We were worried the cuts might have affected you but clearly not”. John Lilburne opted for a simple “F*** yourselves”, whilst another Twitter user commented “#Fascism”.
(It needs to be mentioned as many times and by as many people as possible, that labeling criticism of a core policy of a government as ‘offensive’ and then investigating the people by the police, usually with follow ups that can result in prison to losing one’s livelihood is in fact tyranny and fascism and a number of other things but what it is not, is democracy)
11. ‘muslim day’ at the capitol in Oklahoma brought to you by CAIR via ‘interfaith’ penetration tactics.
Thank you M., Ox AO., Tundra T., Wrath of Khan, Richard, and really a lot of great people who’s names I lost track of while assembling this post.
Tundra T., after watching the interview with Tania, decided to assist the Danish police and make a Wanted poster for Basil Hassan that would conform to Danish rules.
Also in email this morning, this outstanding poster. Please feel free to download and use liberally at all opportunities.
For anyone upset about the above poster, please check out this story about what muslims do to korans and then get back to me about how offended you are about a pair of women’s legs and shoes.
Lastly, check out this interesting post on the Jewish Counter-Jihad on Gates of Vienna, and check out the comments as well.
As mentioned earlier, a lot of Jewish organizations, or ones that are not Jewish but with the claim that they are, in fact are schilling for cultural Marxist and anti-Israel groups, often under the Soros umbrella. So this is refreshing.
Drinking camel pee for allah
Original translation from French by Oz-Rita
From this website:
Imam Rashid Abu Houdeyfa is imam of the Sunni mosque of Brest and heads the Islamic Cultural Centre and Brest (CCIB), is a member of the French Council of the Muslim Faith (CFCM)! He has 198,000 Muslims who like him on Facebook, so he is perfectly representative of practicing Muslims.
He also directs the school that Al Amana “offers a course of study for children (5-15 years) spread over four levels: kindergarten, beginners, intermediate, advanced.” The socialist Town Hall of Brest issued the building permit for this school (see Telegram); the Ministry of the Interior considers this normal. Lambasting Islam in the media, while continuing to support it locally in order to keep the Muslim vote, is the cynical strategy of PS (Socialist Party) which is described in a survey of 320 pages, “The Mayors who are courting Islamism (Tatamis Publishing, 2015).
As reported in an authentic tradition (Hadith Sahih) of Bukhari and Muslim:
“The Prophet ??? ???? ???? ???? ordered them to follow the camels and to drink their milk and urine. This is what they did until the recovery of their health.” Narrated by al-Bukhari 7: 590
Another Sharia source says that, according to Anas ibn Malik (companion of the Prophet), people from ‘Urayna came to Medina to find the Messenger of Allah ??? ???? ???? ???? and as they had bad stomach pains, the Messenger of Allah ??? ???? ???? ???? told them: “If you agree, go drink milk and urine of camels of charity.” (source)

Blasphemy laws, Saudis ratchet up the war, lots of insanity documented: Links 1 on Feb. 26 – 2016
1. Egypt jails Coptic Christians for insulting Islam
An Egyptian court has sentenced three Coptic Christian teenagers to five years in prison for insulting Islam after they appeared in a video apparently mocking Muslim prayers.
A fourth defendant was sent to a juvenile detention centre by the court in the central province of Minya.
The teenagers argued they were mocking beheadings by the Islamic State group.
Egypt’s Christians have long complained of discrimination in the predominantly Muslim country.
The four teenagers were convicted by the court in the city of Beni Mazar on Thursday.
Security was stepped up around the court building, with a number of police vehicles reportedly deployed in the area.
2. Saudi warplanes to arrive at Turkey’s ?ncirlik air base on Feb 26
Saudi warplanes sent to support the U.S.-led anti-Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) coalition have been scheduled to arrive at ?ncirlik Air Base in Turkey’s southeastern province of Adana on Feb. 26, private broadcaster CNN Türk has reported.
The report said advance guards had already arrived at the base as of Feb. 25.
Four F-15E Strike Eagle jets will also arrive at the base, in support of the U.S.-led coalition.
3. Greece.

4. Greece recalls ambassador from Austria in migrant row
Greece recalled its ambassador from Austria on Thursday and warned it would not be treated as “Europe’s Lebanon” as the migrant crisis strained relations between EU states to breaking point.
Talks between European Union (EU) interior ministers in Brussels descended into chaos due to the row over Austria’s decision to call a western Balkans meeting this week without inviting Greece.
The EU’s attempts to forge a unified response to the biggest migration crisis in its history are fraying as individual 28 member states increasingly take matters into their own hands to protect their borders.
The Greek foreign ministry hit out at what it called “19th-century” attitudes and said the envoy’s recall was designed to “safeguard friendly relations between the states and peoples of Greece and Austria”.

5. The Latest: Dead pig found at German mosque building site
Police say a dead pig with Chancellor Angela Merkel’s name daubed on it has been found at a construction site where a mosque is being built in the eastern German city of Leipzig.
The animal’s corpse had the words “Mutti Merkel” written on it in red letters. “Mutti,” or “mom,” has become a common nickname for the German leader over the years.
Police spokesman Uwe Voigt said that “in view of the circumstances it appears likely that this is a xenophobic act,” news agency dpa reported. Authorities were investigating.

Police officers drove away despite spotting one of the Rotherham sex criminals abusing a young girl after he told them: ‘she’s just sucking my c*** mate’.
The gang which groomed, raped and abused teenage girls has today been jailed for a total of 102 years.
Shocking details emerged of an incident where police appeared to turn a blind eye to Bannaras Hussain receiving oral sex from a girl who was only around 12 or 13 at the time.
Bannaras, 36, abused the victim in a car park next to Rotherham Police Station. The prosecutor Michelle Colborne QC said: ‘(The girl) performed oral sex on Bannaras Hussain.
‘When, shortly afterwards, a police car pulled up alongside them and asked what was going on, Bannaras Hussain shouted “she’s just sucking my c***, mate”.
‘The police car drove off. He was indifferent to whether she consented or not.’

The Jerusalem district attorney’s office on Friday morning submitted an indictment to the Jerusalem District Youth Court against a 14-year-old female Arab terrorist from the capital’s southeastern neighborhood of Jabel Mukaber.
She was charged with attempted wounding with serious intent and illegal possession of a knife, but not with attempted murder, for her thwarted attack last week on Monday.
According to the indictment, last week after watching TV broadcasts on the Palestinian Al-Aqsa channel about stabbing attacks, the young terrorist decided to conduct an attack herself and murder Jews.

Geopolitics, Islam, Western authority cracking and changes to the culture thanks to leftists and Islamic agency: Links 1 on Feb. 24 – 2016
1. Danish police officer speaks out: Citizens security is threatened
Police have too few resources, and the situation is unsustainable both for the police and the citizens.
The criticism from the policeman Mikkel Jørgensen from Thy is fierce.
After seven years with the police, he went on leave and has now gotten other work, he says to DR.
It was simply too hard to accept the pressure at work and the lack of resources to solve simple police tasks at the end:
– Now we have nine refugee centers in Thy, and we only have one patrol. If something happens inside one of the centers, we must not go in. Instead they send a car from Holstebro, and meanwhile we have to wait while the war rages inside the center, he said.
And for citizens in some areas it is virtually anarchy, he says.
(Oh how Feminism has hit the CVE at the CBC)
Countries that have banned female genital mutilation should allow less invasive practices such as small surgical nicks to girls’ genitalia as a compromise, two U.S. gynecologists said on Monday.
But campaigners against mutilation strongly criticized the proposal, saying it would undermine global efforts to eradicate the internationally condemned ritual.
3. Obama closing Gitmo. What does that mean really?
Barack Obama announced Tuesday that he was finally fulfilling one of his foremost campaign promises and closing the Guantanamo Bay detention center. Usually the closing of a prison camp for enemy combatants signals the end of the war, and since Obama has never acknowledged that the U.S.’s defense against the global jihad is a war at all, it is fitting that he should end his presidency by closing the camp that so notoriously demonstrated otherwise. And besides, the jihadi leadership ranks need replenishing.
Certainly Obama has replenished them a great deal already. With as many as thirty percent of prisoners freed from Gitmo returning to the jihad, one would think that the Obama administration would pause and consider their plan very carefully before releasing more or transferring them to far less secure prisons inside the United States
4. Czech Republic ‘will follow Britain out of EU’
(Here is a thought. Why not lead Britain out of the EU?)
The Czech Republic may choose to follow Britain out of the European Union, the country’s prime minister said, amid growing fears in Brussels of a “contagion”.
Bohuslav Sobotka said that a “Czexit” may take place. The Czech Republic only joined the EU in 2004 and has been the beneficiary of billions in development funds, but has some of the most hostile public opinion.
A Brussels decision to force the country to take in a quota of migrants caused fury. Three-fifths of Czechs said they were unhappy with EU membership and 62 percent said they would vote against it in a referendum, according to an October 2015 poll by the STEM agency.
“If Britain leaves the EU, we can expect debates about leaving the EU in a few years too,” said Mr Sobotka, who led eastern European states in opposition to David Cameron’s plans to curb benefits.

If you are muslim you must believe that raping little girls is a perfectly divine thing to do, as mohamed did it to Aisha and Islam believes that mohamed is the perfect example of a man for all humanity. However there are people who are not muslim who also believe in raping little girls. Therefore if you believe in raping little girls you are not necessarily a muslim. But if you are muslim you are required to believe that raping little girls is a divine practice when sanctioned in one of the many islamic contexts for it. Slavery, war captive, sold by a girl’s ‘legal’ owner like a father or surviving brother etc.)

North Korea has threatened to attack ‘mainland America’ if the U.S. carries out a planned military drill with South Korean troops next month.
The secretive state has reacted with anger after it was revealed more than 300,000 American and South Korean troops were planning to hold their biggest ever annual exercise following the North’s nuclear tests earlier this year.
It is said the parallel Key Resolve and Foal Eagle exercises will include a staged ‘pre-emptive strike’ against the North – apparently leaving leader Kim Jong-Un seething.
Pyongyang has said if there is even a ‘slight sign’ of such exercises taking place, it will use all its might to hit back – claiming the first target would be South Korea’s presidential Blue House, while U.S. military bases in Asia and in America would be its secondary targets.

8. Tokyo cops arrest 2 Turks seeking refugee status in gang rape of woman
TOKYO (TR) – Tokyo Metropolitan Police have arrested two Turkish nationals currently applying for refugee status for allegedly raping a woman in Kita Ward, reports the Sankei Shimbun (Feb. 22).
At approximately 12:30 a.m. on December 27 of last year, Onder Pinarbasi, 22, and a 16-year-old boy allegedly took the woman, aged in her 30s, to a public toilet near JR Akabane Station and sexually assaulted her. The suspects also stole 9,000 yen in cash from the victim.
Pinarbasi, who has been charged with rape and robbery, claims the boy committed both crimes. The boy admits to onlyl the robbery charge. “I did not force myself upon her,” he is quoted by police in denying the rape accusation, according to the Yomiuri Shimbun (Feb. 22).

(As critics of the FBI position on this, and sadly Donald Trump’s, we now see that in fact it likely is what we expected. The FBI wants access to everyone’s data, warrant or not. I guess they are just to proud to ask the NSA)
Apple has challenged the White House’s claims that its use of a controversial law to access the iPhone of San Bernardino shooter Syed Farook is limited in scope.
The Department of Justice has sought access to iPhones, including the company’s very latest models, under the All Writs Act at least 11 times since September, according to a letter from Apple counsel Marc Zwillinger to federal magistrate judge James Orenstein dated Monday.
The 227-year-old All Writs Act compels third parties to assist authorities in their investigation and is usually a measure of last resort. Apple contends the FBI is misusing the legislation.
Zwillinger’s letter appears to contradict the position articulated by White House spokesman Josh Earnest last week that the order sought by the DoJ in the case of Farook is limited in scope. “They are not asking Apple to redesign its product or to create a new backdoor to one of their products,” Earnest said. “They’re simply asking for something that would have an impact on this one device.”

Stabby goth chick attacks and injures 8 people at a Toronto high school
Of course I have no idea if its actually a goth chick. Are goths known for random stabbing sprees of the kind we see in Israel and the US by muslims doing jihad?
I suggest it was a goth chick because of the hundreds of witnesses, no description whatsoever beyond “long black coat” was given and certainly no names despite the fact that its likely dozens of people know her. So going on the long black coat angle, I guess she had to be a goth. What else could she possibly be?
PICKERING – High-school students described a chaotic scene at a suburban Toronto high school on Tuesday after a female classmate ran down the hallways knifing people, leaving six students and two teachers with non-serious injuries.

Sgt. Bill Calder of Durham Regional Police says officers were called to Dunbarton High School in Pickering, Ont., at 8:32 a.m. in response to reports of a stabbing. He added that two staff members wrestled the suspect to the ground and held her down until police arrived. […] Stephen Pim said he saw a girl with a long black coat chasing students in the hall of the school’s tech wing waving a knife in each hand.

VATICAN CITY – The Vatican’s interreligious council invited the head of a leading Muslim institution to meet with Pope Francis as part of an effort to restart dialogue.
Cardinal Jean-Louis Tauran, president of the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue, invited Ahmad el-Tayeb, the grand imam of al-Azhar University, to come to the Vatican and meet with the pope.
The invitation came in a letter that was delivered by Bishop Miguel Ayuso Guixot, council secretary, and given to the imam’s representative during a meeting in Cairo Feb. 16.
Talks between the Vatican and al-Azhar were suspended by the Muslim university in 2011.
A decades-old dialogue between al-Azhar and the Vatican started to fray in 2006, after now-retired Pope Benedict XVI gave a speech in Regensburg, Germany. Al-Azhar officials and millions of Muslims said the speech linked Islam to violence.

5. Lebanese Minister Resigns Over Hezbollah Domination
Lebanese Justice Minister Ashraf Rifi resigned from the Cabinet Sunday, saying the militant Hezbollah group dominates the government and is harming Beirut’s relations with Arab countries.
The resignation of Rifi, a longtime critic of the Shiite Hezbollah, comes two days after Saudi Arabia halted deals worth $4 billion aimed at equipping and supporting Lebanese security forces. The move came after Lebanon failed to back the Sunni kingdom in its spat with Shiite powerhouse Iran, the leading backer of Hezbollah.
The six-nation Gulf Cooperation Council backed the Saudi decision, raising concerns it could have repercussions for thousands of Lebanese living in Gulf countries.
Lebanon has a sectarian divide that reflects the wider regional split between Saudi Arabia and Iran, and has long been a battlefield for the region’s proxy wars.

Macedonia closed its border to Afghan migrants early Sunday, Greek police said, slowing the admission of refugees to a trickle and leaving a growing bottleneck of people stuck at their shared border.
A Macedonian police spokeswoman denied there was any new prohibition regarding Afghans, blaming the problem on Serbia, the next nation along the Balkans migration route into Western Europe.
By early afternoon, about 1,000 migrants were waiting at the Greek border camp in Idomeni — and at a gas station only 17 kilometers (11 miles) away, 80 buses with 4,000 more migrants were waiting to take them to the border.
Greek police said Macedonia refused to let Afghans through because Serbia made the same decision and officials feared the migrants would get stuck in Macedonia.
“The authorities of the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia informed us that, beginning at dawn Sunday, they no longer accept Afghan refugees because the same problem exists at their border with Serbia,” Petros Tanos, spokesman for Greek police’s Central Macedonia division, told The Associated Press.

10. Exclusive: Obama Refuses to Hit ISIS’s Libyan Capital
(Obama must be trying to defeat them by confusing them till surrender)
The terror group is gaining ground in Libya. But the Obama administration has said no to a Pentagon plan to go after ISIS there.
Despite the growing threat from the self-proclaimed Islamic State in Libya, the Obama administration has turned down a U.S. military plan for an assault on ISIS’s regional hub there, three defense officials told The Daily Beast.
In recent weeks, the U.S. military—led by its Africa and Special Operations Commands—have pushed for more airstrikes and the deployment of elite troops, particularly in the city of Sirte. The hometown of former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, the city is now under ISIS control and serving as a regional epicenter for the terror group.
The airstrikes would target ISIS resources while a small band of Special Operations Forces would train Libyans to eventually be members of a national army, the officials said.
11. Bangladesh: Muslims with pistols and meat cleavers behead leading Hindu priest inside Hindu temple
“Leading Hindu priest decapitated in Bangladesh,” AFP, February 21, 2016:
A top Hindu priest was decapitated by attackers in northern Bangladesh Sunday and two worshippers wounded, police said, in the latest assault targeting minorities in the Muslim-majority nation.
Two assailants armed with pistols and cleavers attacked Jogeswar Roy, 45, the head priest of Sri Sri Sant Gourio Math, at his home in the temple on Sunday morning, officials said.
“The priest was preparing for morning prayers when they pounced on him and slit his head from the body at the verandah of his home inside the temple,” said Shafiqul Islam, a government administrator in the sub-district Debiganj where the temple is located.
12. Canada: Trudeau insists: “Islam is not incompatible with Western secular democracy”
In two separate interviews to CBC during recent months, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau firmly maintained that Islam is compatible with Western open and secular democracy:
(November 24, 2015): “Canadians are quick to point out that ISIS is wrong, that Islam is not incompatible with the Western secular democracy, a free place like Canada.”
(January 31, 2016): “But on the other hand, we need to make sure that we’re working with communities like the Muslim community for example to demonstrate that Islam is not incompatible with free and open Western societies.”
Reviving the Islamic Spirit convention exemplifies “our shared beliefs”
In a video message to the annual Reviving the Islamic Spirit convention held at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre (December 25-27, 2015) in Toronto, Trudeau said:
“The Reviving the Islamic Spirit [RIS] convention… is also about celebrating our shared beliefs in justice, fairness, equality of opportunity and acceptance. The work you do in communities across the country is what builds the and strengthens our multicultural fabric.”

2. Japan ‘commits’ cultural appropriation on an industrial scale
(In the unlikely event that a Japanese person or leftist who reads this and may be bereft of a sense of humour, I think this is a perfectly lovely bit of whimsey and think its a near perfect example of multiculturalism en extremis but in a functional and valuable way. I post this as a form of contempt for the people who now use the fully bogus and fully selectively enforced notion of ‘cultural appropriation’ as a vector for attacking all people of classical civilizational backgrounds and not against, say Africans who visit an actual doctor. Or Chinese people that make and use goods by way of Henry Ford’s assembly line methods etc.)
I think they’re turning Japanese I really think so
3. Cameron announces end-of-June referendum for the UK to decide on EU membership.
(So that gives him just over 4 months to leverage whatever he wants out of the EU before rolling out a dishonest referendum question (Canadians will remember the various Quebec questions that were designed for a specific outcome) as well as a phony procedure tilted towards the desired answer. I don’t think it would take 4 months to set up a referendum on a simple issue. But it would take 4 months to get the EU bureaucrats to set up the right answers and fake the right policies to appease a British public fed up with seeing their culture not ‘appropriated’ but obliterated by decimation via dictatorial bureaucrats passing laws from Brussels for the sake of Germany’s Merkel)
(Should be a cheap investigation to complete. Jus buy a full length mirror and its done)
An “immediate investigation” into anti-Semitism within the Oxford University Labour Club (OULC) has been announced after co-chair Alex Chalmers resigned and more members came forward with allegations of ‘anti-Jewish’ incidents.
Labour Students – the autonomous student wing of the UK Labour Party and the largest political student organisation in the country – has released a short statement, which reads: “Following the allegations of anti-Semitic behaviour at Oxford University Labour Club, Labour Students have launched an immediate investigation.”
The announcement has come shortly after Oxford University Jewish Society (Oxford JSoc) released a second statement on Wednesday, in which it said other OULC members have approached it with reports of “anti-Semitic statements and incidents.”

European diplomats have warned the Turkish government that it cannot count on the NATO support should the conflict with Russia escalate into an armed conflict, according to German media.
Ankara has called for a joint ground operation in Syria with its international allies, insisting it is the only way to stop the country’s five-year war. Saudi Arabia has said it would be ready to take part in an international force to be deployed in Syria.

Eritrean rapist Henok Werie Fri, 35, was ALLOWED to stay in Sweden after attacking and raping a young woman. After release from prison, as he obviously could committ the same crime again, he is sentenced to deportation.
One evening in April 2011, a woman was on her way home to work when she was attacked in an overpass elevator at Gymnastikgatan street in central Eskilstuna and brutally raped. The man beat her and threatened to kill her during the assault.
DNA evidence led police to Henok Werie Fre, which previously was convicted of a similar assault rape of a female newspaper distributor in Boden 2008.
Werie Fri chose to flee to Italy, where he stayed away for nearly five years. In the email that he sent to the Swedish police, he claimed that he had not raped the woman but only hit her. He also claimed that he felt “OFFENDED” by the investigation.
7. As was 100% predictable, Cameron’s ‘referendum’ was a sales job for a deal he made with the EU.
(A deal which does not give back any sovereignty to Great Britain etc. This won’t be a referendum at all but a rubber stamp on Cameron’s legacy. Just watch)
David Cameron today confirmed the EU referendum that will determine the future of Britain and define his career will take place on June 23.
Following a landmark Cabinet meeting that lasted more than two hours, the Prime Minister addressed the nation in Downing Street.
But within minutes of the speech, six of Mr Cameron’s Cabinet ministers appeared at a Vote Leave rally to sign on to the campaign against the Prime Minister.
Commons leader Chris Grayling said Mr Cameron’s deal had failed to secure power over Britain’s borders or allow the Government to strike trade deals around the world – insisting a ‘sovereign country should be able to do that’.
And Justice Secretary Michael Gove said he had wrestled with his conscience but had to back Brexit despite the Prime Minister’s view.
8. Minister rejects EC critics over caps
Austria’s combative interior minister rejected Saturday EU criticism of its cap of 80 asylum claims per day, saying a letter of complaint to her from the bloc’s migration commissioner was “sent to the wrong address”.
“It should be generally known that Austria does not have an external EU border and is therefore not the first safe country that these people (migrants) set foot in,” Johanna Mikl-Leitner told the Austria Press Agency (APA).
“If everybody stuck to the content of the letter (from migration commissioner Dimitris Avramopoulos), then Austria would not have a problem with it. But the letter was clearly sent to the wrong address,” Mikl-Leitner said.
Instead, the complaints should be sent to safe countries that the migrants pass through on their way to Austria, she said, in a reference in particular to Greece, the main entry point in the European Union for migrants.
(Like the United States, the EU does not like its own laws when they interfere with the post modern agenda)
Thank you M., Tico in FInland, Wrath of Khan, Buck, Kathy, Maria J., and all who sent in so much great material. There is more. In fact some really great stuff is in the oven, such as a new Jeppe video, the Danish Pat Condell or Ezra Levant. Sort of a cross between the two with a dash of Brian Lilley perhaps. Anyway its great and I hope to post it very soon.
There is something I would really like to see in the comments under this post and that is a discussion on episode 4 of Season 1 of the new X files. A highly disturbing episode about muslim suicide bombers with some serious semi-subliminal iconography in it. I would really like to know what people who read this site and saw that show thought of it please.
