1. Edmonton imam spreads the word of al-Qaeda’s Anwar al-Awlaki alongside his supplication to Allah to give victory to all mujahideen around the world 

Imam Jamac Usman Hareed, a native of Somalia, studied Islamic studies and Shariah law in New Castle, South Africa and Arabic in Yemen. He serves as the Imam of the MAC Islamic Centre (Rahma Mosque) in Edmonton, Alberta and regularly is invited to lead prayers in many mosques across Canada.

In its mission statement the Muslim Association of Canada (MAC) states its adherence to the message of Muhammad, the Prophet of Islam, sees the Muslim Brotherhood movement as a source of inspiration and praises its founder, Hassan al-Banna, for his “core messages of constructive engagement in society, focus on personal and communal empowerment, and organizational development.”

2. Lt Gen Michael Flynn: Our strategy is clearly not working

(This fellow has it more right than most establishment voices)

(“…moderate form of Islam, if it exists”. Thank you Lt. Gen. very much for that one moment of true lucidity and honesty. That question needs answering before you can ask the next question. One cannot pick a strategy if your main option is a fiction)

3. Huge crowd of Muslim protesters picket Downing Street to protest at Charlie Hebdo cartoons

(So long Magna Carta and civil rights. We won’t miss you because soon no one will ever know you even existed)

The protesters, many of whom were divided into groups of men and women, and included children, gathered just yards from the Cenotaph

At least 1,000 Muslim protesters gathered outside the gates of Downing Street to protest against the depictions of the Prophet Mohammed in Charlie Hebdo, the French satirical magazine.

The protestors, many of whom were divided into groups of men and women, gathered just yards from the Cenotaph which remembers Britain’s war dead, and blocked half of Whitehall as they demonstated.

It comes weeks after two terrorists attacked the offices of Charlie Hebdo, the Paris-based satirical magazine which had published images of the Prophet Muhammad, killing 12 staff and wounding 11 others.

And more here:

Thousands of British Muslims gathered near Downing Street to protest against cartoons showing the prophet Muhammad and voice opposition to “insulting” depictions.

A leaflet issued by the Muslim Action forum (MAF), who organised the rally, said recent republishing of cartoons, caricatures and depictions of Muhammad by satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo and other publishers is a “stark reminder” that freedom of speech is “regularly utilised to insult personalities that others consider sacred”.

ISLAM NEW ARRIVALS BIRMINGHAM INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT

Thank you M., Don L., Shabnam, Draculea and all. More to come soon.

1. Very interesting article about South Africa today and the real legacy of Nelson Mandela

When apartheid ended, the life expectancy in South Africa was 64 — the same as in Turkey and Russia. Now it’s 56, the same as in Somalia. There are 132.4 rapes per 100,000 people per year, which is by far the highest in the world: Botswana is in second with 93, Sweden in third with 64; no other country exceeds 32.

2. If the fellow who shot American Sniper Chris Kyle never saw combat whatsoever, and therefore did not have PTSD, exactly what was his motive?

3. Prince Charles Says He Fears for Christians in Middle East

(I would suggest that people examine his past before they decide to trust this sentiment from Charles, the best possible reason to pray the Queen stays alive a while longer)

Britain’s Prince Charles says he fears there will be “very, very few” Christians left in the Middle East after the turmoil wracking the region.

The heir to the British throne, who is on a trip to the region, told the BBC that the plight of Christians persecuted by Islamic extremists was “a most agonizing situation,” though it was important to remember they were just one persecuted minority among many around the world.

“But at the same time I fear that the problems in the Middle East are not going to go away immediately,” the prince said in a pre-recorded interview with “The Sunday Hour” radio program. “And so there is a danger that there is going to be very, very few left.”

He appealed for more work to build bridges between religions.

(Charles obviously met with a public relations specialist. He appears to be doing a media blitz with messages designed to trick British people into thinking he somehow shares their values and could represent them)

5. Yet another analysis of Obama’s total logical failure in his breakfast speech. This time by Fox’s O’Reilly

Thank you Don L., M., Wrath of Khan, ML.,

Suddenly all kinds of media have been reporting on recent arrests in Canada of muslims who have been connected to a shadowy (if media is to be believed) organization called, The Muslim Students Association.

The video below has been available on Youtube since well before 2011 and there is tons of open source material showing the MSA as being right below the Muslim Brotherhood on the organizational charts. Its almost like since Google reporters can’t be bothered to even type 2 words for research. There may be more to come today.

1. Bail denied for man accused of threatening to burn wife’s genitals, rape

QUEBEC CITY – There will be no bail for a Quebec City man who is accused of threatening to burn his wife’s face and genitals with acid, forcing her to have sex and citing the Koran to justify beating their children.

The 40-year-old man was arrested on Jan. 26 after his wife filed a complaint with police, alleging that he had threatened her in a Walmart.

“The accused is possessive, he feels his wife belongs to him. He invokes the Koran when he hits his children. He tells his wife that if she leaves him, he will burn her face and genitals with acid. Today, his wife has left him, and she in danger because of it,” Judge Bernard Lemieux said in his ruling Friday.

2. US accuses 6 immigrants of helping Islamic State group

ST. LOUIS (AP) – Six Bosnian immigrants have been accused of sending money and equipment to terrorists oversees, including fighters with the Islamic State group and al-Qaida in Iraq, the U.S. attorney’s office announced Friday.

An indictment unsealed Friday in St. Louis said the defendants donated money themselves and in some cases collected funds from others in the U.S. and sent the donations overseas. It says two of the defendants used some of the money to buy U.S. military uniforms, firearms accessories, tactical gear and other equipment, which was shipped to people in Turkey and Saudi Arabia who forwarded the supplies to terrorists.

3. Mass shooting at US mall. Paper launches newspeak for being shot:

The station said police from jurisdictions outside the town of Monroeville were called in to help look for the shooting suspect.

A person who answered the phone at the Monroeville Police Department declined to comment.

Local television station KDKA, citing witnesses, said several people were struck by bullets.

(No description of any suspects naturally. Must be hard to look for them)

4. Rocket attacks on Damascus kill 10 after Islam Army warning

(Reuters) – Rocket attacks killed 10 people in Damascus on Thursday and wounded at least 50, a monitoring group said, in the second heavy bombardment by Islam Army insurgents in less than two weeks.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which monitors violence in Syria, also said the army had responded with at least 40 air strikes in the Eastern Ghouta district, where Islam Army is based, and that 57 people had been killed.

Islam Army was formed by a merger of rebel factions in 2013. It follows an Islamist doctrine and has in the past received backing from Saudi Arabia.

Syria’s state news agency, SANA, said five people had been killed in what it said was a bombardment by “takfiri terrorists”. “Takfiri” is a term used to describe hardline Sunni groups who consider other people infidels.

(I believe ‘takfiri’ means that they are accusing the other side of apostasy, not just of being an infidel although both carry the death penalty, accusations of takfir carry a greater amount of anger when they burn you alive or throw rocs at you then if you are a garden variety unbeliever. It is not surprising the media is clueless on this)

5. Niqab ban at citizenship ceremony struck down by court

The federal government must immediately lift its existing ban allowing Toronto’s Zunera Ishaq to reschedule a new citizenship ceremony unless it appeals the ruling and receives the permission to suspend the order, the Federal Court said in a decision released Friday.

While it is not unusual to have government policies overturned in breach of Charter and constitutional rights, the court ruling is unusual because the decision was based on the finding that the ban mandated by the immigration minister violated the government’s own immigration laws.

“To the extent that the policy interferes with a citizenship judge’s duty to allow candidates for citizenship the greatest possible freedom in the religious solemnization or the solemn affirmation of the oath,” wrote Justice Keith M. Boswell, “it is unlawful.”

1. Birmingham school said to have sent £1million of public money to Pakistan is revealed to have £3million in debts

(A proper study of the meaning of “Al Hijrah” should have tipped everyone off to what this place is. In fact they clearly still do not know. Read ‘the Hidden Trojan Horse’ by Sam Solomon and the full meaning of Hijrah will be clear)

A troubled Islamic school which is alleged to have sent £1million of public money to construct a sister establishment in Pakistan is in debt to the tune of almost £3million, Birmingham City Council has revealed.

New leadership was brought into Al-Hijrah School last year, after the council forced out the old governors and sacked its headteacher amid claims of financial irregularities and poor standard of education.

The scale of the voluntary-aided school’s financial woes have been laid bare by Birmingham City Council which said auditors now believed the school’s estimated deficit by the end of this financial year would be ‘in the region of over £3million’.   

It comes as a council inquiry continues into allegations £1million of public money sent to the Bordesley Green school found its way to funding construction of a school in Pakistan.

3. Rotherham sex abuse victims ‘complained about PC Hassan Ali’

Two child sex abuse victims complained about a South Yorkshire Police officer before he was fatally injured in a car crash, their lawyer has said.

David Greenwood, of Switalskis Solicitors, said two clients asked him to complain to South Yorkshire Police about PC Hassan Ali.

PC Ali died nine days after being hit by a car in Sheffield on 28 January.

Mr Greenwood said the complaints were about PC Ali’s “unwillingness to pursue complaints of exploitation”.

A report published by Professor Alexis Jay in August said about 1,400 children were abused by gangs of men, mainly of Pakistani origin, from 1997 to 2013 in Rotherham.

4.  Nigeria, Neighbors to Send 8,750 Troops to Fight Boko Haram

(The neighbors are smart enough to want to fight Boko Haram on someone else’s turf. Only Canada and Jordan so far seem equally clever)

.Details of the proposed deployment were revealed at the end of a three-day meeting in Cameroon in a statement read out by officials, including Issaka Souare, African Union adviser for Mali and the Sahel.

The plans call for Chad and Nigeria to contribute 3,500 troops each, while Cameroon and Niger would contribute 750 each and Benin would contribute 250. The force would be headquartered in Chad’s capital, N’Djamena.

Nigeria’s conflict with Boko Haram has taken on an increasingly regional dimension in recent months, with the extremists staging attacks in Cameroon and Niger in the last week alone.

Nearly 100 people were killed and some 500 wounded in an attack on the town of Fotokol in Cameroon on Wednesday and Thursday that saw Boko Haram fighters raze mosques and churches and use civilians as human shields, Cameroon officials said.

5. ISIS putting price tags on Iraqi children, selling them as slaves, U.N. says

A report released this week focused on children in Iraq, as well as the responsibility of that nation’s government for ensuring the safety and security of young civilians in the conflict. But it certainly doesn’t preclude similar things happening in Syria, where ISIS is also entrenched and also has been blamed for various atrocities.

In reference to Iraq, at least, the U.N. report found that the terrorist group is resorting more and more to brutal acts such as enslaving, raping, beheading, crucifying and burying people alive. Some of those affected are children.

Thank you M., Richard, Wrath of Khan, and all who sent in material, I may have lost track of a couple, busy day here, but thank you all.

Recently I saw Dracula Untold. Its an interesting take on the famous horror legend. In this movie, Dracula is a sympathetic character famous to his people for killing Ottoman Turks. to avoid paying a tribute of a thousand boys to be made into Janisaries. (Historically I think it was 2000 a year) While the movie goes to great pains to make sure that the evil muslim turks look neither muslim nor Turkish, they did manage to sneak in one reference to what actually motived the bloody slave trading pirates who terrorized and humiliated Europe for centuries.

1. A teacher at France’s only state-funded Muslim faith school has quit his job, writing in a leading newspaper that the establishment was riddled with anti-Semitism and was “promoting Islamism” to pupils.

Philosophy teacher Sofiane Zitouni wrote in left-leaning daily Libération on February 5 that the Averroès Lycée (high school) in the northern French city of Lille was a hotbed of “anti-Semitism, sectarianism and insidious Islamism”.

Zitouni, who is of Algerian descent and began teaching philosophy (which is compulsory for all high-school students in France) at Averroès in September, wrote that he could no longer tolerate the school’s alleged contradictions with France’s strictly secular “Republican values”.

“The reality is that Averroès Lycée is a Muslim territory that is being funded by the state,” he wrote. “It promotes a vision of Islam that is nothing other than Islamism. And it is doing it in an underhand and hidden way in order to maintain its [80 percent] state funding.”

4. Historians Weigh in on Obama’s Comparison of ISIS Militants to Medieval Christian Crusaders

“I don’t think the president knows very much about the crusades,” Thomas Madden, a historian at the University of St. Louis, told ABC News.

“He seems to be casting them as an example of a distortion of Christianity and trying to compare that to what he sees as a distortion of Islam in the actions of ISIS,” Madden said. “The initial goal of the Crusades was to give back lands to Christians that been conquered, due to Muslim conquests.”

The Crusades, which began in 1095 with the call of Pope Urban II to recover Jerusalem from Muslim rule, were a series of wars that lasted nearly two centuries. Although no reliable estimate of casualties caused by Crusaders exists, the massacre of over 2,700 Muslim prisoners by Richard the Lionheart outside Acre during the Third Crusade has been well documented and is remembered in the Middle East to this day.

5. Waqf’s New Weapon: Screaming Girls

The Temple Institute reported on its Facebook page Tuesday that the “Muslim supremacists who dominate the Temple Mount” have come up with a new weapon against Jewish visits to the Mount – in the form of young girls.

“Their latest gambit, paying men and women to inhabit the Temple Mount during the hours that it is open to Jews and follow the Jewish worshipers every where they go on the Temple Mount, screaming curses and allahu akbars at the top of their lungs, got a flat tire when the Israel police and security services shut down the organizations which were funneling the money from Hamas to the agitators,” explained the Institute.

Thank you all for sending in these links. I am still a little despondent about the cemetery story about the Gypsy being exhumed from a public cemetery on the complaint on behalf of one dead muslim. It is very discouraging, that this kind of lopsided power can be wielded with no blowback. It is worse than many of the stories we post even though its less spectacular and more subtle. But in meaning it is worse.

More to come and thanks UK Pete, M., Tundra T., and many more.
