1. Muslim Brotherhood upset at terrorist-group designation by Egyptian Government.
“This is an attempt to frame the Brotherhood,” he claimed.
Wednesday’s designation of the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization came one day after a deadly attack on a security building in the city of Mansoura killed 14 people and wounded more than 100 others.
2. Phyllis Chesler: Honor Killings in the West and the God of Poetic Justice
On December 4th, Canadian Assistant Crown Prosecutor, Gerard Laarhuis, spoke about this high-profile case at Ayaan Hirsi Ali’s Conference on Honor Violence in New York City. He confirmed that the Shafia daughters, who ranged in age from thirteen to nineteen, were viewed as “whores” by their parents and brother. Why?
The girls believed they were living in Canada. Zainab did not want to marry her first cousin but someone of her own choosing. Their parents and brother believed that Afghans must behave as if they are still living in Afghanistan no matter where they are, geographically.
3. Salafist Organization Claims Deadly Egypt Attack
December 25 2013: A Salafist organization in Egypt on Tuesday claimed responsibility for a deadly attack on a security building in the city of Mansoura that killed 14 people and wounded more than 100 others, Al-Arabiya reported.
“Dakahlia Security Directorate was attacked and the operation was carried out successfully thanks be to God and to our Jihadist brothers,” the report quoted the Twitter account of the group, Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis, as having said.
4. North Korea threatens to strike South ‘without notice,’ sends warning via fax
(I have two questions about this one. A: Isn’t this statement notice of an attack itself? and B: Does South Korea still have a fax machine? I don’t even see those in landfills anymore)
The South Korean government reportedly responded to Pyonghang’s threats by sending a fax to that promised “resolute punishment” in response to any provocation from the North.
(Oh I guess they do. Must be the same one the UN uses to send very angry letters)
5. Iraqi Catholic leader asks West: ‘If they kill us all, will you do something then?’
(I think I can answer that for him. ‘No.’)
6. Most European Muslims want sharia
the situation is worst in Austria. 73 percent of Austrian Muslims of Turkish and Moroccan descent consider sharia to be more important than secular laws, 70 percent think there is only one correct interpretation of the Koran and 76 percent want Muslims to return to their Islamic roots.
(Europe is once again begging for a strong man to get them out of their own mess. Typically the solution is worse than the disease. If only they would behave rationally now. If it isn’t too late already)
7. Invisibility cloak on the horizon! (Even if you are wearing thick glasses)
