Suspended jail term for terror suspect Ahmad Naizmand who travelled on brother’s passport
From SMH AU
“Jobless and lost”: Ahmad Saiyer Naizman outside court after an earlier appearance.
A teenage terror suspect who had his passport cancelled by intelligence authorities used his brother’s passport to undertake a secret overseas trip because he was jobless and “lost”, a court has been told.
Ahmad Saiyer Naizmand, 20, refused to stand for Magistrate Teresa O’Sullivan when he was given a 12-month suspended jail sentence on Tuesday for unlawfully using travel documents issued to another person.
Naizmand was questioned at Sydney Airport on August 6 and told customs officials that he was a second-year law student and was urgently heading to Malaysia to visit his uncle, with $6000 cash and only hand luggage.
Naizmand became a talented rugby league player, the court was told. Photo: Supplied
He presented his 21-year-old brother Ahmad Samir Naizmand’s passport and was allowed to board a flight to Kuala Lumpur.
However, when he turned up in Dubai two days later, he was arrested on suspicion of travelling to join the overseas conflicts in the Middle East and brought back to Australia.

Leftism and Islam. The links run deep and high: Links 1 on Feb. 2 – 2015
1. Departing From Japan’s Pacifism, Shinzo Abe Vows Revenge for Killings
TOKYO — When Islamic State militants posted a video over the weekend showing the grisly killing of a Japanese journalist, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe reacted with outrage, promising “to make the terrorists pay the price.”
Such vows of retribution may be common in the West when leaders face extremist violence, but they have been unheard of in confrontation-averse Japan — until now. The prime minister’s call for revenge after the killings of the journalist, Kenji Goto, and another hostage, Haruna Yukawa, raised eyebrows even in the military establishment, adding to a growing awareness here that the crisis could be a watershed for this long pacifist country.
2. Islamic State builds links with al-Qaeda lands
The Islamic State (IS) group has forged links with militants across North Africa and the Arabian Peninsula, embracing regional franchises that have pledged allegiance to the group.
The latest branch was announced in the Afghanistan-Pakistan region, on 26 January.
The first new branches beyond the group’s strongholds in Syria and Iraq were announced by IS leader Abu-Bakr al-Baghdadi in November when he accepted pledges of allegiance from jihadists in Egypt, Libya, Algeria, Yemen and Saudi Arabia.

4. Obama lacks strategy to stop Islamic State expansion
(But thats OK as he has one to help it along)
As the U.S. fights the Islamic State to a stalemate in Iraq, the terrorist army also is looking elsewhere, gaining ground in Syria and attracting more followers across the Middle East, analysts and officials say.
Moreover, a report by Congress’ research arm says the Obama administration has had little success in persuading Iraqi Sunnis to help their Shiite-dominated government and take up arms against the mostly Sunni Islamic State. The Congressional Research Service Report also said allied airstrikes against the Islamic State in eastern Syria are likely helping President Bashar Assad stay in power despite Washington wanting him ousted.
5. Actual antisemitism at UC Davis

The six-time Academy Award nominated film has now become the highest grossing film on Super Bowl weekend, picking up $31.8 million, just edging out the 2008 “Hannah Montanta/Miley Cryus: Best of Both Worlds Concert Tour,” which grabbed 31.2 million when it premiered.

The operative, a Syrian in his thirties with a close-cropped black beard, said ISIS is sending covert fighters to Europe — as did two smugglers who said they have helped. He smuggles them from Turkey in small groups, he said, hidden in cargo ships filled with hundreds of refugees. He said the fighters intend to fulfill ISIS’s threat to stage attacks in the West. He views this as retaliation for U.S.-led airstrikes against the group that began in Iraq last summer and Syria last fall. “If someone attacks me,” he said, speaking with BuzzFeed News on condition of anonymity, “then for sure I will attack them back.”

Adolf Hollande accused of anti-muslim plot
Original Translation by Bear
from 20min Switzerland
A Moroccan daily paper has photoshopped the French president into Adolph Hitler. The paper details how Francois Hollande is preparing the extermination of muslims.
The Arabic Moroccan daily (Al Watan al An) wanted to shock and it did:
Three days after the celebration of the 70th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, in one sedition on the 29th of Jan. Francois Hollande is disguised as Adolph Hitler more truly than nature: Small mustache, dressed as Nazi and Nazi armband.
Beside the picture, the title in Arabic allows people to think: “Will the French recreate the concentration camps of Hitler to exterminate the Muslims?”
The Moroccan French weekly, (Telquel) has questioned the director of the publication, Al Watan al An, of this choice of scoop. “It is very lightly against the French president. He deserves worse. The French government does not ensure the security of Muslim citizens in France as is the case for the Jewish community”
(Arabic name) “The journalist rejects the responsibility of the many anti-islam acts, 128 acts took place in the last 2 weeks representing almost as many as in the year 2014 total, following the attacks in Paris towards the French government. Many places of muslim worship are attacked daily without it bothering the French authorities”.
[another comment same guy]
That sees the left and the French right in competition to see who will cause the most damage to the muslim community, goes as far as saying that the French is preparing the country to deprive the muslims of roofs over their heads and employment if it continues this way.
Telquel reminds that this article and this scoop could fall under the code of the Moroccan press according to article 52, ‘offense publicly committed against a chief of state and their dignity, a chief of government, ministers of foreign affairs of foreign nations, will be punished by imprisonment of one month to one year and a fine of 10,000 to 100,000 Dirhams or one of the two sentences only.

Some fight back, some exposure of islamic activities in Canada and what is the actual position of the US? Links 1 on Jan 29 – 2015
1. PM: Slovakia is Christian, No to Muslims and Mosques
“Since Slovakia is a Christian country, we cannot tolerate an influx of 300,000-400,000 Muslim immigrants who would like to start building mosques all over our land and trying to change the nature, culture and values ??of the state,” said Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico.
Slovakia is the country that had its commemorative Euro coin depicting two Christian saints, Cyril and Methodius, at first rejected by the European Commission, which told Bratislava it would need to re-design the coins and remove Christian symbols, including halos and a cross-adorned stole. Eventually the Slovakia Euro was issued with halos and crosses.
This is the umpteenth demonstration of an obvious historical and contemporary fact: the stronger a country’s attachment to its Christian heritage, the more robust, intelligent and informed its fight against Islam, as Mr Fico’s strategy well exemplifies.
2. No More Mosques in Lombardy Region, Italy, from Today
Victory! Something is changing. Some positive effects of the Charlie Hebdo atrocities are felt in Italy, with crackdown on the cult of Islam. First Massimo Bitonci, the mayor of the city of Padua, in the region of Venice (Veneto), Northern Italy, simply and clearly said: “No more mosques in Padua. The city council will not grant any more public space for the building of mosques and Islamic places of worship.”
3. Muslim group linked to terror organization buying buildings across Canada
MONTREAL — A Muslim umbrella organization that allegedly funnelled money to a Hamas-linked charity is buying up property from Quebec to Alberta.
QMI Agency conducted land-register searches that show the Muslim Association of Canada (MAC), based in the Toronto suburb of Mississauga, has bought at least 11 buildings in Ontario, Quebec and Alberta since 2006.
They’re being converted into mosques, community centres and schools as the group’s financial dealings catch the attention of the RCMP.
The group was named in a search warrant related to Project Sapphire, a probe into terrorist financing. Warrants indicates MAC sent nearly $300,000 in the 2000s to IRFAN-Canada, a group that raised millions for Hamas. […] The largest known MAC acquisition is a six-storey, $4.7-million building in Montreal’s financial district that will house the Canadian Institute of Islamic Civilization. […]
4. Newt Gingrich: Choosing Tyranny Over Freedom: The Obama Legacy
In deciding to skip the Unity March in Paris for a football game but cut short his trip to India to go to Saudi Arabia, President Obama chose tyranny over freedom.
His comments about the Saudi regime in advance of his trip confirmed the President’s priorities. As the Associated Press reports:
“Sometimes we need to balance our need to speak to them about human rights issues with immediate concerns we have in terms of counterterrorism or dealing with regional stability,” Obama said in a CNN interview aired while the president flew from New Delhi to Riyadh.
Although Obama will meet formally with the new king, Salman bin Abdul-Aziz Al Saud, he suggested he would not be raising U.S. concerns about Saudi Arabia’s flogging of blogger Raif Badawi, who was convicted of insulting Islam and sentenced to 10 years in prison and 1,000 lashes.
His first flogging took place in early January in front of dozens of people in the Red Sea city of Jiddah, though a second round has been postponed after a doctor said his wounds from the first lashes had not yet healed.”
You have to read these paragraphs several times to understand how committed the Obama Administration is to apologies and appeasement of Islamist tyranny.

ISLAMABAD: Yousaf al Salafi – allegedly the Pakistan commander of Islamic State (IS) or Daish – has confessed during investigations that he has been receiving funds through the United States.
Law enforcing agencies on January 22 claimed that they arrested al Salafi, along with his two companions, during a joint raid in Lahore. However, sources revealed that al Salafi was actually arrested sometimes in December last year and it was only disclosed on January 22.
“During the investigations, Yousaf al Salafi revealed that he was getting funding – routed through America – to run the organisation in Pakistan and recruit young people to fight in Syria,” a source privy to the investigations revealed to Daily Express on the condition of anonymity.

2. White House Taliban Not A Terror Group – The Kelly File
3. And now, courtesy of the Guardian, the single funniest thing i have read in a week, swallow your milk be fore you read further: …
Tarik Kafala, the head of BBC Arabic, the largest of the BBC’s non-English language news services, said the term “terrorist” was seen as “value-laden” and should not be used to describe the actions of the men who killed 12 people in the attack on the French satirical magazine.
Get that? We should not apply any terms laden with ‘judgment’, on people who murdered a dozen artists and employees who work at a magazine, and interestingly they failed to mention the attack at the Jewish grocer in another part of town where they killed another four. I guess the term, ‘small lead object kinetic engineers’ would be OK though.

Mattias Karlsson, who is in charge of the Sweden Democrats for the foreseeable future after the party’s leader Jimmie Åkesson announced on Tuesday that he was extending his sick leave, described Nazism as “terrible” in an interview with Swedish broadcaster SVT on Tuesday.
But he added that he felt the threat from Islamism today was “perhaps greater than from Nazism”.
The word Islamism broadly refers to the ideology that says a country’s government and society should operate in accordance with Islamic laws.
“One must of course take all ideologies seriously and fight them in every way,” said Karlsson on Tuesday.

(Wow! This has to be some kind of record! The Dhimmi Govt. of the UK must be adding extra olives to their virgin martinis tonight!)
Almost 500 cases of female genital mutilation (FGM) were identified by hospitals across the UK in just one month in late 2014.
According to the Health and Social Care Information Centre (HSCIC), fifteen cases were documented daily in the month of November. However, 25% of the HSCIC Trusts did not submit documentation. This suggests that the number of actual cases is much higher.
FGM is not the same as male circumcision. FGM involved the deliberate total or partial removal of the female genitalia for non-medical reasons. The procedure makes urination painful; sexual pleasure impossible; childbirth torturous. It is a barbaric, tribal, and primarily African practice which can also lead to infertility, incontinence, infection, fistulas, and death.

MEMRI: Brooklyn Imam Tareq Yousef Al-Masri on Paris Terror Attacks: We Muslims Must Admit That We Are Time Bombs and We Hate Christians
(Update at bottom of post)
Also, since posting this, some rather revealing news about what certainly appears to be this guy have been placed in the comments. For all interested, please click the links offered by the commenters. See if they fit the thesis of this post.
(It is larger there, might be easier to read the titles at the MEMRI link)
This is a fascinating clip. Please watch it all the way through before passing any kind of judgment. One of the first curious things I noticed, was an odd sense of suspicion about this imam because early on I noticed he was using reason. Something which is anathema to islam overall.
A few times this site has alluded to the ‘wedge strategy’ and even spoken about what I call, ‘Government imams’. I would suggest this is one of them.
A one on one debate between this man and Robert Spencer would be one for the books although I believe I have seen something like it before, where Robert is arguing for the demonstrably true nature of islam using reason, islamic scripture and islamic history, against an imam who is trying to retroactively rewrite the islamic narrative in order to achieve an outcome most of us would agree with.
I would love it if this worked. But it won’t, it can’t and frankly I think this contributes to motivating young cultural muslims and other young people to join up with the jihadis because of the moral outrage when it is discovered that governments and government sponsored mosques and imams, (not saying this one is but betting it is) are discovered to be exactly that, peddling an acceptable version of islam, easily discoverable to be untrue by even a cursory look at the scripture and facts. For example abrogation is in the koran itself. While this imam does an admirable job of trying to undo the horrific and incalculable damage the concept has done to humanity and the world, it remains right there in the koran clear as day.
I look forward to the comments on this one.

The Victoria and Albert museum has attempted to conceal its ownership of a devotional image of the prophet Muhammad, citing security concerns, in what is part of a wider pattern of apparent self-censorship by British institutions that scholars fear could undermine public understanding of Islamic art and the diversity of Muslim traditions.
Similar images have been shown in exhibitions across Europe and America without prompting outrage, much less protests or a violent response. Made by Muslim artists for fellow Muslims, they come from a long but often overlooked tradition.

LE JOURNAL
MONAY 19 January 2015
A French lawyer and Professor, Gregoire Lafarge, created quite a commotion (in class and online) – this Friday, when he took on one of his students during a course of ethics.
Le Figaro (Respected French centre-right Daily) quotes one of the students who witnessed the scene: “Arriving in the lecture hall, the professor looked at the veiled young girl intensively. He approached her, probably to ask her to take of her veil, but other students prevented him from ending his sentence. He reacted badly and left the lecture hall immediately. Before returning, apparently in anger, “he undressed in taking off his scarf, his jacket, his shirt. He shouted “my religion is naturism”. (Nudism)
The collegues of the targetted student also reacted, as reported in Le Figaro.
Some islamic world riot videos, I think in reaction to France’s allowing itself to have it’s own laws.
Sometimes it seems that in places like Pakistan, a dozen people get killed in the riots over who picks the Wednesday night movie rental. But the past couple of days seem to have more than the usual number of deaths seemingly connected to increased demands to destroy the basic freedom to be free of religious authority in Western nations. As such, we should be concerned at the level of violence.
