Egypt: “Muslim Mob” of 3,000 Attack Christian Businesses, Individuals — Rioting Spreads in Upper Egypt

Posted on by

From the most excellent R.E.A.L. organization. Please click through and bookmark these hard working and courageous people.

– AINA reports “Muslim Anti-Christian Riots Spread in Upper Egypt, Video Shows Looting and Burning”
– “On Monday November 23, 2009 Muslim rioters looted and burned Coptic Christian businesses in the village of Abou Shousha, which lies 25 KM from Farshoot. The terrorized Coptic inhabitants of Abou Shusha have stayed indoors, their shops are closed and their children are being kept away from school. They fear a repeat in their village of the Muslim violence which engulfed the town of Farshoot less than 36 hours earlier (AINA 11-22-2009).”
– “The Middle East Christian Association (MECA) reported that at least three large Coptic stores and a pharmacy were looted and burnt in Abou Shusha and that the fire brigade arrived one hour late, although their headquarters is only 8 KM away from the village. “They gave the pretext of being busy in Farshoot, which is untrue, as Farshoot had a quiet night,” said Wagih Yacoub of MECA. ‘Coptic and Muslim neighbors tried to put the fire out.’ A video posted by Free Copts shows the Abou Shusha fires.”
– “Bishop Kirrillos of Nag Hamady Diocese said that a mob from the neighboring village of Abu Tesht torched the businesses in Abou Shusha. MECA reported that three girls were assaulted in the street by having bricks hurled at them. No serious injuries were reported.”
– “It is estimated that over 80% of Coptic businesses have been destroyed in the 48 hours of violence in Farshoot. A video prepared by Free Copts advocacy shows Muslim mobs chanting Allah Akbar (God is Great) while looting and burning Coptic businesses and shops.”

Here any familiar chants in this one?

More video from Paris riots.

Posted on by

Gaia was kind enough to give me a translation of one of the videos of the Paris riots allegedly as a result of a failed publicity stunt. Several of the rioters however, appear in the second tape I spliced on the end, with rather large machetes, not typical accouterments for Paris streets. Or perhaps they are now. I didn’t bother subtitling the second short video as there is no new information in it.

In the first, you get the official party line on it. But even so, there is a lot of damage and violence and hatred being directed towards people and things, that had nothing whatsoever to do with the failed publicity stunt, but were conspicuously not immigrants to France.

For more information please read these two Gates of Vienna sites: One here, and a second one here.

Please visit the Brussels Journal and read their post on the riots in France.

Here is a one paragraph excerpt taken out of context but really, click over and read this. Its thorough and well explained. The riots that took place within the last few days in France seemed to have a lot of conflicting information and it is quite difficult to come to any understanding of them. Was this some kind of ‘globalized’ soccer hooliganism? In a way, this would at least be one manner in which immigrants had managed to integrate somewhat into European society.

Or is it more political and darker in nature? I suppose the first thing I would like to know is, the boat that was set on fire in France, was it an Algerian owned one? An Egyptian? I highly doubt it.

From The Brussels Journal:

The violence rapidly escalated, with mostly black thugs beating up whites, at least as far as the photos tell us. Here is the brief report from Novopress. Please consult the French blog François Desouche, even if you don’t know French. The photos and videos will give you some idea of the violence:

The event turned into a riot. Store fronts were smashed and cars damaged near the Ecole
Militaire, where there were large crowds. According to a visitor to the website TF1 News, some rioters first used oranges to throw at passers-by or at the people who had come in the hopes of getting a few euros. Then they progressed to more serious methods – obviously premeditated, since we can distinctly see weapons in the hands of certain rioters. One of them is even waving a machete! “The neighborhood was sacked”, she told us. Passers-by were molested, a photographer beaten up. Around 2:15 p.m. calm was restored.

Riots in France.

Posted on by

I have avoided blogging this for the day despite having had links to videos and articles since early this morning. However, early reports were that these riots are somehow connected to the results of a soccer game, Egypt beats Algeria or something like that. My impulse was to blog about how Muslims at least in one way integrate nicely into European culture. They riot over the results of soccer games. However more and newer information is coming in that seems to indicate that while soccer may be the catalyst for these riots, the real motive and desired result is distinctly political and likely jihad. After all, the numbers of Muslims in France now make the hijra nearly large enough to move to a pretty much full time jihad phase of the establishment of the dominance of Islam.

Here is one of several videos. I will post more information as I get it here in this post.

1:19 AM Nov 16 The Snaphanen blog in Denmark has a reference to hunting white people in full quotes. Information is still a little fuzzy but it appears that the Paris riots were motivated by a publicity stunt by a Belgiun company, that was planning to give away 40,000 Euros. When they saw the massive turn out, they cancelled. People went wild in the streets and there was talk of “Hunting White People”. Go to the blog and use your google translator. For those of you with Flock or Firefox, I recommend Foxlingo, a free plug in that allows rapid and quite good machine translations for many languages.

More here at the Gates of Vienna:

8:00 PM Some information seems to indicate that the riots in Paris are not motivated by the same things as Marseilles.

Eeyore.

IFPS and Lord Malcolm Pearson

Here is a chilling interview with the man who invited Geert Wilders to speak at the British House of Lords. ‘This is not a right wing nut’ nor a racist but in fact a liberal in every sense of the word and most importantly, in the true ‘Jeffersonian’ sense of it. Once men of this caliber begin to risk their public profile with opinions which are unfashionable, it is safe to say we have a very real crisis on our collective hands.

Trailer for new film causes riots in Denmark

Posted on by

From Snaphanen

translation from Jyllands Posten:         “Big brothers stopped riot”

Police had to use pepper-spray on a group of youth in Tinbjerg last night. But to the suprise of the police, the trouble was stopped by “big brothers”.

It all started around 20.30 pm, when a group of 15-20 immigrant boys made barricades of containers filled with gasoline.
However they did not succeed in lighttening them, before there was a massive police presence.

The atmosphere was heated and  police had to make two arrests.  Police found two firearms with sharp bullets and a  knife.  More  youngsters adjoined, the atmosphere grew even more tense, when big brothers appeared at the scene. In a mater  of minutes peace was restored, and the  youngsters were send home. Its very unusual for big brothers to stop trouble. “I have  only witnessed it once  before” a police constable says.

In the  area around Sjælør Boulevard there was trouble also. A goup of immigrant boys threw stones while shouting “fuck Denmark”. Police has a theory, as to why it all started. “There  has been this program on Al-Jazeera, and we cannot rule out, that that was the reason.

The program appears to be referring to the imminent release of a film made by the son of a Lebanese Muslim immigrant to Denmark, an immigrant to whom the state gave everything and in return, the son appears to have made a ighly inflamatory documentary about how racist and awful Denmark is to Muslims.

Berlin police under siege

One German police officer is leaving the force to take a position in Afghanistan because the odds of being killed are the same but the pay is much better in Afghanistan.

I do not know what is more frightening. The hordes of Muslims attacking German police for no typical motive, or the German intelligentsia insisting the answer is more social workers and understanding of the ‘root causes’. Watch this and send the link far and wide. This is civil war, and worse because the side of civilization refuses to admit it, or fight back and instead, wishes to spend more resources appeasing the enemy.

Special thanks to ‘Piggy’ for the translation, it was a joy to work with. One of the very best so far.

Michael Coren show with Kurt Westergaard and Lars Hedigaard

Posted on by

First time on television in Canada, Kurt Westigaard, creator of the iconic ‘Moetoon’ bomb turban drawing associated with the riots of 2005 speaks. Along with Lars Hedigaard, creator and president of the International Free Press Society, this is an exciting and interesting hour of TV. Sadly, it is also a brave hour of TV. Salutations to Michael Coren for having the raw courage to have this guest as well as giving him a very fair interview. Once not so long ago, it took no courage to interview cartoonists. Now one has to have special security in place.

(As an aside, I made a mistake in the movie editor when I set up this clip so the tops of heads my seem chopped off. This was a technical error on my part and not some kind of prophesy or dark humour.)

Michael Coren: Freedom’s curmudgeonly hero

Posted: October 06, 2009, 9:00 AM by NP Editor

Tonight on my daily television program, The Michael Coren Show, my guest will be a wanted man. Indeed three people were arrested last year for plotting to murder him and he is under constant police protection because his life is under permanent threat. Yet 74-year-old Kurt Westergaard resembles a kindly uncle more than a danger to the state. And truth is, he’s only seen as a danger if it’s an Islamic state. Because this bearded, gentle and disarmingly unassuming man set off an international crisis in 2005 when his cartoon of the prophet Muhammad wearing a bomb as a turban was published in Denmark’s leading newspaper, Jyllands-Posten. The subsequent protests and violence led to more than 100 deaths, attacks on embassies and the storming and burning of Danish and Western buildings throughout the Islamic world.

This was the only television interview he gave in Canada. I’d like to think it’s because I have a known commitment to freedom of speech but, frankly, it’s also because some journalists are frightened of giving him any exposure — we were obliged to record the interview early so as not to publicise his movements because of security concerns. “I’m an old man, I haven’t so much to lose,” he says with a smile when I ask him if he’s ever scared.

Interview with Kurt Westergaard, Toronto Canada

Posted on by

From IFPS

I had the opportunity to spend the day yesterday with several extraordinary men, one of whom, was Kurt Westergaard, the creator of the infamous ‘Moetoon’.

In this interview, I speak at a private house, which is why there is a fair amount of background noise as we prepared dinner after a day of interviews in Toronto, with Kurt, as well as Lars Hedegaard, the creator and president of the Danish Free Press Society, now the International Free Press Society.

Kurt I must say, is a man who history has handed a tough role, and a role which he did not ask for, but accepts with grace, dignity, and a rare humility. I do not get the impression that it was Mr. Westergaards ambition to become a martyr for free speech and to live in a bunker as he does now, or in hiding as he did for years. But he has unflinchingly defended free speech and has not once turned away from his values for the illusion of safety.

Below, is a conversation with Kurt and Lars and their views on freedom of speech, and their recent experience at Yale, a once great institution of western education.

International Blasphemy Day

International Blasphemy Day: from Danish cartoons to Jerry Springer – The Opera

It’s International Blasphemy Day. We take a look at some of the key moments in the history of the profane.

International Blasphemy Day, 30 September, is intended “to remind the world that religion should never again be beyond open and honest discussion”.

It marks the anniversary of the 2005 publication of the 12 Danish cartoons that depicted Mohammed and led to worldwide riots. Its founders want to “dismantle the wall which exists between religion and criticism”.

It has, of course, met with criticism – prominent US Catholic Bill Donohue accuses the movement of picking on Christianity: “The stated purpose of Blasphemy Day has nothing to do with any religion but Islam. So who have they chosen to mock? You guessed it – Christians.”

However, not all religious people take offence. “The Lord Jesus Christ was and is despised and rejected of men,” says Albert Mohler, president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. “Believers in the Lord Jesus Christ are not commanded to defend his honor, but to be willing to share in the scorn directed to him.”

Here is a brief look at some of the recent history of blasphemy.

• Blasphemy in the UK
The last successful prosecution for blasphemy under British law was surprisingly recent – 1977.

The publisher of the magazine Gay News was given a suspended sentence when he printed a poem, The Love That Dares To Speak Its Name, telling the story of a gay Roman centurion’s love for Jesus.

The prosecution had been brought privately by the morality campaigner Mary Whitehouse.

• Jerry Springer – The Opera
In 2005, the BBC broadcast the musical Jerry Springer: The Opera on national television. In 2007, the campaign group Christian Voice tried to bring a prosecution under blasphemy laws, which outlaw anything which insults, offends or vilifies the Deity, Christ or the Christian religion.

Stephen Green, the director of Christian Voice, said: “Christ is shown apparently wearing a nappy, swearing, saying that he’s a ‘little bit gay’, while God is portrayed as an ineffectual old fool.”

The courts rejected the prosecution.

• UK blasphemy laws are lifted
After the failure of the Jerry Springer prosecution, the human rights organisation Liberty moved to have the laws changed, saying that they “should be shelved in dusty archives, not used as a tool to bring mischievous prosecutions against the arts.”

Within a year they had achieved their goal. MPs voted to abolish the laws in May 2008, after a campaign supported by the author Philip Pullman and the evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins.

Edward Leigh, a Conservative MP, said the move would encourage more people to make fun of Christianity. He said: “Getting rid of the blasphemy law sends a message that that is OK, but it is insulting to many Christians.”

In the United States, laws against blasphemy were declared unconstitutional in 1952, as the First Amendment of the Constitution demands the separation of church and state. Massachusetts, Michigan, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Wyoming and Pennsylvania have blasphemy laws on their statutes nevertheless, but no-one has ever been prosecuted under them.

• Irish blasphemy laws
As Britain has moved away from criminalising being rude to deities, across the Irish Sea the opposite has happened. In July 2009, the Dáil – the Irish Parliament – voted to make “publishing or uttering blasphemous material” a crime punishable with a fine of up to 25,000 euros.

Prof Dawkins described the move as “a wretched, backward, uncivilised regression to the middle ages,” while Father Ted creator Graham Linehan said that it might have made his sitcom illegal.

The Irish Minister for Justice, Dermot Ahern, said he was surprised at the “hysterical and incorrect reaction” to the proposals, adding that he believed one of his critics “to have a brain the size of a pea.”

• Mohammed the teddy bear
A British schoolteacher was arrested in Sudan and sentenced to 15 days in prison for insulting the Prophet, after letting her class of seven-year-olds name a teddy bear Mohammed.

Following an international outcry she was released after eight days, despite calls from some Islamic hardliners in the country for her to be publicly flogged or even put to death.

British Muslim peers Lord Ahmed and Baroness Warsi had flown to Sudan to negotiate her release.

• Muslims march over cartoons of the Prophet
The snowflake that started an avalanche. In September 2005, the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten performed an experiment testing “the limits of freedom of speech”. Its results were spectacular.

It printed 12 cartoons depicting the Prophet Mohammed. It is blasphemous in Islam to create images of the Prophet – especially when he appears to have a bomb in his turban.

Thousands of Muslims took to the streets around the world. Danish embassies were firebombed, and over 100 deaths were recorded worldwide (some caused when police opened fire on rioting crowds).

A photograph apparently showing a protestor holding a sign saying “Behead those who say Islam is violent” did the internet rounds for a while, but was eventually shown to be doctored.

International Blasphemy Day was founded in response to the outcry.

• Wafer kidnap angers Catholics
In July 2008, a student at a Florida university attended a Catholic Mass. Having received the Communion wafer, he didn’t swallow it, but instead tried to return to his seat to show it to a friend. He was then allegedly accosted by members of the congregation who tried physically to retrieve the Body of Christ.

The local priest described it as “kidnap”, and the abovementioned Bill Donohue called it “beyond hate speech”. The student received emails condemning him to hell, as well as threats to break into his dorm room to steal the cracker back. He then returned the wafer at the following mass, while armed university police officers stood guard.

Atheist blogger PZ Myers, in a post entitled ‘It’s a goddamned cracker!’, defended the student and asked his readers to get hold of a Communion wafer that he could hold hostage himself. He said that he received four death threats in response to the post, including one that “says I should be fired, that the author would like to kill me, and that I only criticize because Catholics are so gentle and kind.”

September 30 is International Free Press Day

Posted on by

Four years ago on September 30, 2005,  Jyllands-Posten published twelve drawings of Islam’s prophet Muhammed. To demonstrate that prohibition of any depiction of the prophet, as stipulated by sharia law would not trump Denmark’s freedom of the press, twelve cartoonists had their entries published.

Here they are:

Size of this preview: 424 × 599 pixels

Muslims around the world rioted in response. At least one hundred deaths were reported. The Danish embassies in Syria, Lebanon and Iran were torched. European buildings were stormed and the Danish, Dutch, Norwegian, and German flags were desecrated in Gaza City. Mahmoud al-Zahar of Hamas issued death threats. Critics of the cartoons described them as Islamophobic and racist, arguing they were blasphemous to Muslims and a manifestation of western imperialism. In 2008, slightly after two years of the initial publication, the cartoons were re-published. More riots ensued, complete with shouts of ” death to the cartoonist!”.

Meanwhile, thousands of illustrations of Muhammed have appeared in books by and for Muslims.

James Cohen, vice president of the Canadian desk, IFPS writes thoughtfully and succinctly on the declaration of September 30 as International Free Press Day:

“To further advance the cause of freedom of the press, the International Free Press Society takes the occasion of this first International Free Press Day to salute Kurt Westergaard, and to call, once again, for the repeal all blasphemy and hate speech laws that currently inhibit and restrict vital exchange and debate”.

Palestinians warn Israel after Jerusalem clash

Ahmad Gharabli/AFP/Getty Images A masked Palestinian youth throws a glass bottle at Israeli policemen in Jerusalem’s Old City following scuffles in the Al-Aqsa mosque compound on Sep. 27, 2009.

JERUSALEM – Palestinian leaders warned Israel on Sunday not to stoke tension in Jerusalem in the hope of thwarting peace talks, after clashes at a sacred site in which Palestinians and Israeli police were injured.

“At a time when [U.S.] President [Barack] Obama is trying to bridge the divide between Palestinians and Israelis, and to get negotiations back on track, Israel is deliberately escalating tensions in Jerusalem,” chief peace negotiator Saeb Erakat said.

“We’ve seen this before, and we know what the consequences are,” the Palestinian minister added, in a statement that recalled the visit of then Israeli opposition leader Ariel Sharon to the site in Jerusalem’s Old City in 2000.

Sharon’s presence at al-Aqsa mosque, the third holiest site in Islam, triggered the second Palestinian uprising and dealt the biggest setback to peace efforts in years.

The reasons behind Sunday’s clash were disputed.

According to legislator Hathem Abdel Kader and other Palestinian sources, the clash erupted in the early morning when Palestinians inside the complex — sacred to both Islam and Judaism — saw a group of 15 religious Jews trying to enter. Continue Reading →

Interview with firefighters in Sweden’s ‘no go zones’.

Posted on by

Here is an interview with some firemen in Sweden talking about how they cope with a hostile Muslim population that sets fires, then attacks them when they come to put them out and save anyone who may be in danger from them. This of course is now familiar as it is classic ‘Al Queda Handbook’ stuff on how to make a no go zone. However it is nice to see cracks in the political correctness that has prevented European agents of the state from reporting the facts, although this video does not name Islam specifically, one can easily infer it from the interviews and pictures of the ‘natives’ of the area in Question.

Link: Firemen in Sweden interview

Correction: ‘Play Allah’ is incorrect. It should read, ‘Play Allan’, a Swedish slang term meaning to horse around and act superior.

Play Allan (sometimes Play Allan) is a Swedish slang term that means playing tough and superior. Begreppet lär syfta på rollkaraktärer spelade av Alan Ladd [ källa behövs ] och finns med i Haldo Gibsons svenska slangordbok från 1969 . The concept of learning refer to the characters played by Alan Ladd [citation needed] and is included in Haldo Gibson’s Swedish slang dictionary from 1969.

I västsverige är det av allmän uppfattning att “Spela Allan” innebär att tramsa och fåna sig, att clowna runt. In western Sweden, it is generally accepted that “Play Allan” means that the silly and fanatic himself, to clown around.

This comment was so important, that I have added it to the post:

Comment:
This news story was held back in Norway until after the election, so it would not affect the voters. This Norwegian blogg documents the conspiracy between the major Norwegian editors in chiefs http://forvisomelskernorge.blogg.no/

Note that the Norwegian election was Sep 14, this news cast was as late as Sep 20 even though the news presenter admits the “youth” riots had been going on for “the last month”. This is of course also a lie, since immigrants have been causing these kinds of problems for a much longer period of time than just the last month.

I think it should be noted that the Norwegian election thus was manipulated by the media, making it possible for the islam friendly government to be reelected, despite it’s many scandals, such as wanting to prohibit “religious” (read: islam) criticism, and wanting to put islamic head scarfes (hijab) on Norwegian police ladies. Both cases were dropped after public outrage.
