For the second time, a sharia defence is used in Canada for pre meditated murder

Posted on by

Not long ago, a Canadian defence lawyer used Islamic religious freedom as a defence in a terrorism trial arguing that a defendant was within his religious rights to council advise and commit terrorist acts. Now we have honor killing being used as an actual defence in a Canadian Murder trial in Ottawa. Both of these cases are of extreme importance as they may set precedents which allow Islamic values to be mitigating factors in serious crime and hence make sharia a de facto law of the land. This, as is the previous case, is serious.

Not a whodunit, so much as ‘why did he do it?’ defence says

Lawyers to argue Ottawa man not guilty of 2006 murder of sister, fiancé because he was provoked

By Neco Cockburn, The Ottawa CitizenMay 8, 2009

The flashes were quick, far in the dark distance at the rainy shopping plaza parking lot where Khatera Sadiqi would soon be found barely breathing, slumped against her fiancé in a car.

There are four flashes on the video footage caught by a bank’s ATM camera, then a pause as a car’s headlights sweep a nearby area. Then another flash. All within 37 seconds.

The footage was played during the first day of the murder trial of Hasibullah Sadiqi, where assistant Crown attorney Mark Moors told a jury they are expected to hear that the now 23-year-old man killed his sister and her fiancé in an “honour killing” rooted in anger over their engagement.

Sadiqi’s defence lawyers have indicated they will not dispute that Sadiqi was responsible for the killings, but will argue that he is not guilty of murder because he was provoked.

During his opening statements, Moors told the court that Sadiqi shot his 20-year-old sister, Khatera, and her fiancé, Feroz Mangal, with a .44 Magnum revolver while they sat in a parked car at the Elmvale Acres shopping plaza, at St. Laurent Boulevard and Smyth Road, just before 1 a.m. on Sept. 19, 2006.

Sadiqi, a Canadian of Afghan descent, is charged with two counts of first-degree murder. The court is expected to hear he was upset because his sister got engaged without the permission of their father and had moved in with Mangal’s family, Moors told the five-woman, seven-man jury.

Doctors in Pakistan warned not to wear pants and shirts. Writ of state in Pakistan in doubt.

TTP warns NWFP doctors over dress. From Paktribune

PESHAWAR: The banned Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) has allegedly warned doctors of the public sector hospitals in Peshawar to stop wearing shirts and trousers or face suicide bombing.

A senior doctor at the oldest public sector hospital of the NWFP ñ the Lady Reading Hospital (LRH) — told our sources on condition of anonymity that they had received a letter from the TTP, asking doctors and all other medical staff to immediately stop wearing shirts and trousers or suicide bombers would target them at their institutions.

He said the chief executive of the LRH, after receiving the TTP letter on April 28, circulated the communication to the medical superintendent, deputy medical superintendents and other senior staff members of the hospital and directed them to take precautionary measures.

The doctor said the chief executive had mentioned in his circular that the TTP threat should be taken seriously, urging doctors and other staff members to stop wearing shirts and trousers. The staff member said the alleged TTP threat had sent a wave of shock among the doctors’ community.

Two other senior doctors at the Hayatabad Medical Complex and the Khyber Teaching Hospital (KTH) also confirmed receiving similar threats from the TTP. They said chief executives of all the three teaching hospitals directed their staff members, particularly doctors, to stop wearing shirts and trousers so that they could be saved from suicide bombers.

When reached by telephone, NWFP Secretary for Health Dr Sohail Altaf confirmed the threatening letters that were received by the hospital executives from unknown people. He said he too had received a copy of the letter, which he had dispatched to the NWFP police chief, Malik Naveed Khan, for investigation. Sohail Altaf said he did not believe the Taliban would have sent the letter.

The secretary said it seemed that certain elements had started terrorising peaceful citizens in view of the situation the people were facing these days. A senior doctor at the LRH said the threatening letter had created extreme panic and many doctors had stopped wearing the dress after the warning from the Taliban.

“It shows there is no writ of the government and Pakistan has become a Taliban state. It is a serious issue as the Taliban have practically started interferering into the personal matters of citizens and affairs of the government departments,” said a senior doctor at the KTH.

Muslim dentist ‘refused to treat female patients unless they wore Islamic dress’

Muslim dentist ‘refused to treat female patients unless they wore Islamic dress’

Omer Butt allegedly said it was duty to ensure Muslim women wore the hijab at his NHS dental clinic in Bury, Lancashire

Strict: Omer Butt allegedly said it was duty to ensure Muslim women wore the hijab at his NHS dental clinic

A Muslim dentist refused to treat patients unless they wore traditional Islamic dress, it was alleged today.

Omer Butt, 32, ordered women to put on head scarves or he would not register them or their families at his NHS-funded clinic, it was claimed.

At least two patients were left in pain after they declined to follow his self-imposed rules, the General Dental Council heard.

It is the second time that the dentist – who is the brother of a former spokesman of the radical Islamic group al-Muhajiroun – has appeared before the council’s disciplinary panel on similar allegations.

Two years ago he was reprimanded for telling an Asian mother-of-two he would not register her unless she wore the Muslim hijab.

The GDC heard how Butt believed it was his duty to stop Muslim patients committing what he believed was Al-Kaba’ir, a religious sin.

He even put a laminated sign on the wall of his waiting room telling patients they would have to adhere to his strict dress code or find another dentist.

John Snell, for the GDC, said: ‘He sought to impose a dress code on patients attending his practice.

‘He required that women cover their hair with a head scarf, or hijab, and that male patients remove any gold jewellery.

‘If he had simply expressed a preference, without imposing any compulsion to adhere to this dress code, there may be no cause for complaint.

‘However, he insisted – and those who did not comply were refused treatment.

‘He made compliance with Islamic dress code a condition of treatment, which is entirely inappropriate under the auspices of the National Health Service.

‘Patients should have access to NHS treatment regardless of their religious observance, or otherwise.’

One patient,  referred to only as Mrs F, told how she went with her husband and three children to register as patients at the Unsworth Smile Clinic, in Bury, Lancashire, in 2006.

While they were waiting to be seen, Butt called her husband into an office and told him he would have to tell his wife to wear a head scarf or the family would not be seen.
They promptly left and made a formal complaint to the NHS.

The kind of Islamic outfit dentist Omer Butt is said to demand female patients wore

Traditional: The kind of Islamic outfit Butt is said to demand female patients wore

Mrs F told the panel: ‘I was extremely annoyed. It’s my choice if I wear a Hijab or not. But he told my husband he wouldn’t treat any of us until I did.

‘He even offered to provide one for me to use, but I didn’t want to wear it. I shouldn’t have to wear it to get treatment.

‘I had great pain in my tooth at the time, but I wasn’t going to stand for that so we left.’

Another patient and her family had to leave the clinic in June 2007 because she would not wear the religious headdress after spending a year looking for a dentist in the area, the hearing was told.

The woman’s husband, known as Mr C, was also called into a private room at the surgery where Butt asked him to impose a dress code on his wife.

His wife said: ‘My husband came out and he looked quite angry and his face was red. He said ‘let’s go’.

‘He shouldn’t say to me that he can’t treat me unless I wear the hijab. He said he could provide one for us, but I didn’t want to wear one. I was in pain that day.’

Butt, of Prestwich, Manchester,  denies charges of misconduct for his treatment of two patients at the clinic.

If found guilty he faces being removed the dental register.

In September 2007 Butt was formally reprimanded by the GDC for similar behaviour and found guilty of serious professional misconduct.

The hearing, being held in London, continues.

KFC converts eight London restaurants to halal-only menu

Posted on by

This article is of questionable importance. One could easily say this is merely a free market adaptation to demographic reality. I post it however for a few reasons. One, is that I created some time ago, the unlikely category ‘war on chicken outlets’ and how often do I get to use that? On the other hand, let’s look at why I created that category and how often I did in fact use it.

Here, we did an article about attacks on a KFC in Indonesia. The caption, I believed coined by the good people at The Religion of Peace.com was “Muslims demand their chicken extra crispy”

Indonesian Muslims demand extra crispy!

By Eeyore | January 8, 2009

Muslims turn their wrath on a KFC in Palu Indonesia on behalf of Gazanians.

Earthtimes (press release), UK January 8 2009

Jakarta. Protesters in Indonesia’s Central Sulawesi province on Thursday stormed an outlet of the US fast food chain KFC during a demonstration against Israel’s raids on the Gaza Strip, police and a restaurant employee said.

About 200 protesters rallied outside the popular chicken restaurant in the provincial capital Palu to condemn Israel’s attacks on Gaza and US support for the Jewish state, burning American and Israeli flags, police said.

Some of the protesters entered the restaurant, overturning tables and chairs and smashing the signboard, said an employee of (…)

This is actually not the first attack on a KFC by the religion of peace. 2005 6 are burned to death in Karachi

By Faisal Aziz KARACHI, May 31 (Reuters) – Six employees of American fast-food franchise KFC were burned to death in Karachi during a riot that followed a suicide attack on a mosque in the southern Pakistani city, rescue workers said on Tuesday. Angry Shi’ites set fire to the restaurant after the mosque attack in which five people died on Monday night, but the bodies of those burned were only found on Tuesday morning, said Rizwan Edhi of the Edhi Foundation, a private emergency service. “We recovered the bodies of the six people from the debris of the KFC early this morning.All the dead were employees of KFC,” he said.

And then again in 2007 also Karachi:

KARACHI, Pakistan (AP) – Hundreds of residents angered over a 16-hour power outage rioted in the southern Pakistan city of Karachi overnight, ransacking a KFC restaurant and two banks, police said Thursday.At least six people were hurt as youths burned tires on roads, stoned passing cars and caused extensive damage to commercial property in the south of the city during two hours of unrest.

So what is it? the secret ingredient? Is it finger cutting bad? Is this the super sized jihad? Did they want fries with that? Is Islam really just the militant wing of PETA?

It must be the lack of a salad bar.

All of this bringing us to the present and KFC’s submission to Islamic demands to have someone yell ‘Allahu Snackbar’ as the chickens are slaughtered. Could this be mere demographic reality and free markets? Certainly. But could it also be submission to fear of more violence directed at KFC’s world wide?

Fast food chain KFC converts eight London restaurants to halal-only menu

By Debra Killalea
Last updated at 11:17 PM on 06th May 2009

Fast food giant Kentucky Fried Chicken is to launch a halal-only menu in eight of its London stores in a move which could be extended to other areas of the UK.

The menu, which will form part of a trial, will see the stores selling chicken products which have been fully approved by the Halal Food Authority for the first time.

KFC has 720 stores across the UK, and bosses said the move was designed to ensure the company was catering to a broader range of customers, following a growing demand for halal products.

It is the latest fast food chain to introduce a halal-only menu after Domino’s launched one at a Birmingham store in February.

From this week, KFC bargain buckets, crispy strips and family feasts bought in certain outlets serving high Muslim populations will all have the halal-approved stamp.

The fast-food chain has so far converted eight of its London restaurants to sell the meat,  in areas including Forest Gate, West Ham, Tottenham and Bethnal Green.

The chosen branches, which also include those in Beckton, Leyton, Edmonton and Hounslow, will have a logo on the door telling visitors that all food served has been fully approved by the Halal Food Authority (HFA).

As Muslims cannot eat pork, the Halal branches have removed the Big Daddy burger from the menu as it contains bacon.

KFC’s scheme will be trialled over the summer, but if it proves a success dozens more branches across the country are expected to follow suit and become halal-only.

The company said halal menus could be launched in other stores  where large numbers of Muslim customers are based and ‘where there is demand’.

Over the next few months it will closely monitor customer feedback in the chosen outlets and if it is good they will be permanently converted to 100 per cent halal.

The move follows a similar decision made by Dominos Pizza, which launched a halal only menu at its Hall Green store in Birmingham earlier this year amid a storm of controversy.

Domino’s said the change has improved business despite an initial backlash from non-halal customers who complained they were not able to order pizzas such as the Meteor which contains pepperoni, sausage, meatballs and bacon.

But KFC insists that the taste of its chicken will remain ‘finger-lickin good’ and that it has only converted branches where there are other non-halal ones within a two-mile radius.

KFC vice-president of marketing Jennelle Tilling said: ‘We want to see how customers respond to the trial, to see if this is something that allows us to make our great tasting food available to a broader range of customers.’

A spokesman for KFC said the food would still taste the same as it ever had and that the fast food giant will use existing suppliers to provide the stores with halal meat.

‘This is taking place in areas where there is a high demand for halal and where they is another KFC outlet within two miles for those who do not want it,’ he said.

‘It is just a chance for us to see if it is something our customers really want or not.’

Halal means any item on the menu which may contain bacon, ham or pork must be removed and all the chicken must by halal-approved.

Under the rules, the animal should be killed by having its throat cut by a Muslim and any flowing blood of the carcass should be completely drained.

Animals cannot be eaten if they have died of natural causes and have to have been killed.

The chain has also moved to assure customers that its halal certified chicken would meet the rigorous animal welfare standards used across the UK.

Masood Khawaja, President of the Halal Food Authority, welcomed the trial and said it was good news for the Muslim community.

‘Having worked with KFC closely, Halal Food Authority is delighted to accredit the usage of the HFA logo and symbol of approval on endorsed products,’ Mr Khawaja said.

‘The Muslim community can now enjoy all the products in this trial in eight participating halal-approved restaurants, as these have been procured with full adherence to both Islamic dietary rules and relevant EU hygiene, food safety and animal welfare regulations.’

Muslim preacher explains mosques are for indoctrination to hate and violence even to placenta

Posted on by

Man bites dog. That’s how it is to say ‘bombs found in mosques’ or, Muslim cleric calls for genocide hate vioence terror and so on. It’s become utterly banal yet no less important to remind people that this is in fact the orthodoxy and not the exception. A number of studies have shown that US mosques preach violent jihad somewhere on the order of 80% and the number for Canada is rumoured to be somewhat higher. This makes the radical mosques the ones who do not preach violent take over of host societies. And why should we find this surprising? Even a cursory examination of Koran and other Muslim holy texts show this to be exactly as Mohamed preached, acted, lived and set examples for.

Phyllis Chesler: Islamic Gender Apartheid.

Posted on by

My Speech for the Human Rights Rally Against Radical Fundamentalist Islam Today in Times Square, New York. From Pajamas Media:

Radical, fundamentalist Islam is the world’s largest practioner of both gender and religious apartheid.

Others are speaking here today about Islamic religious apartheid. I have been asked to focus on Islamic gender apartheid.

We who live in the West, and who have learned how to analyze and protest gender inequality here, simply have no idea how much free-er and safer women are in the West than in Muslim countries.

I once lived in the Islamic world, in Afghanistan. What I learned in Kabul rendered me immune to the romanticization of the Third World or to the glamorization of tyrants and terrorists that defined my generation of 1960s and 1970s radicals.

Being born female and Muslim, especially today, under radical Islamic rule, is potentially a capital crime. The warnings and the punishment begin early on and are both relentless and normalized.

Women are viewed as sub-human, half-demon, dangerous, sexually “wild”—by men whose own lust and progeny knows no bounds. While there are many exceptions, in general, Muslim (and Arab) girls are despised and routinely cursed, beaten, treated as servants or slaves by their fathers and older brothers. Women are hidden, literally suffocated under face and body veils, shrouded, visually buried alive while still alive.

Orwell scores another home run in the UK with ‘interfaith gowns’

The “Inter-faith” gown provides extra comfort and cover for patients undergoing medical procedures and is particularly useful for patients whose culture and religion requires them to be modestly clothed. Continue Reading →

Delara Derabi an Innocent Girl Hanged in Iran

Delara Derabi an Innocent Girl, 20 year old murdered in cold blood by the Islamic Republic of IRAN for a crime she never committed. Arrested at the age of 17, as a child prisoner she went through HELL in Iranian prison to survive again to be killed by a cruel and heartless regime, under the famous Islamic sharia law, where women have half the respect of men.

Delara was not put in solitary confinement for 24 hours before execution, as required by Iranian law. The “jailer” is to contact the lawyer of the condemned 48 hours before the sentence was carried out. The family of the condemned are required to attend as is the family of the injured party. Till now the second cousin calling for Delara’s death had refused to attend. The condemned is given tranquilizers (unless they refuse them).

Judge suspends Pakistani woman’s deportation order amid honour-killing fears

Posted on by

Posted: April 28, 2009, 6:31 PM by Rob Roberts The National Post:

By Wu Yun, National Post

Mississauga hairdresser Roohi Tabassum was supposed to be deported from the U.S. to her native Pakistan today, where she feared her estranged husband would kill her for touching men’s hair.

But the Federal Court Tuesday agreed to suspend the 44-year-old woman’s deportation order until a pre-removal appeal, which could take several months.

Ms. Tabassum was smuggled to Canada from the U.S. in 2001, and filed a failed refugee claim. She has since built a life in Mississauga, working as a hairdresser and buying a house, even as she faces deportation to Pakistan.

She submitted to the court several letters from her husband, Faisal Javed, and his relatives, who purportedly threatened to kill her once she returned to Pakistan, because she dishonoured him by touching men’s hair.

“The Federal Court was also satisfied … the immigration officer who handled her pre-removal assessment appeal didn’t properly take those letters into account,” her lawyer, Max Berger, said today.

Her husband, who fled Pakistan with her eight years ago but only made it to the United Arab Emirates, was angered when a friend spotted her in the hair salon in 2006. He also suspected she had a boyfriend, but she strongly denied it. They have separated but not yet legally divorced.

Mr. Berger said the Federal Court postponed her deportation because it was satisfied “Roohi would suffer irreparable harm if she was removed from Canada.”

He will ask the Canada Border Services Agency to reconsider Ms. Tabassum’s pre-removal assessment.

Mr. Berger told the court that 1,200 to 1,500 women were killed in 2007 from honour killings in Pakistan, citing U.S. Department of State statistics.

Crime of blasphemous libel proposed for Defamation Bill: Ireland

Posted on by

CAROL COULTER, Legal Affairs Editor  Irish Times:

A NEW crime of blasphemous libel is to be proposed by the Minister for Justice in an amendment to the Defamation Bill, which will be discussed by the Oireachtas committee on justice today.

At the moment there is no crime of blasphemy on the statute books, though it is prohibited by the Constitution.

Article 40 of the Constitution, guaranteeing freedom of speech, qualifies it by stating: “The State shall endeavour to ensure that organs of public opinion, such as the radio, the press, the cinema, while preserving their rightful liberty of expression, including criticism of Government policy, shall not be used to undermine public order or morality or the authority of the State.

“The publication or utterance of blasphemous, seditious, or indecent material is an offence which shall be punishable in accordance with law.”

Last year the Oireachtas Committee on the Constitution, under the chairmanship of Fianna Fáil TD Seán Ardagh, recommended amending this Article to remove all references to sedition and blasphemy, and redrafting the Article along the lines of article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights, which deals with freedom of expression.

The prohibition on blasphemy dates back to English law aimed at protecting the established church, the Church of England, from attack. It has been used relatively recently to prosecute satirical publications in the UK.

In the only Irish case taken under this article, Corway -v- Independent Newspapers, in 1999, the Supreme Court concluded that it was impossible to say “of what the offence of blasphemy consists”.

It also stated that a special protection for Christianity was incompatible with the religious equality provisions of Article 44.

Minister for Justice Dermot Ahern proposes to insert a new section into the Defamation Bill, stating: “A person who publishes or utters blasphemous matter shall be guilty of an offence and shall be liable upon conviction on indictment to a fine not exceeding €100,000.”

“Blasphemous matter” is defined as matter “that is grossly abusive or insulting in relation to matters held sacred by any religion, thereby causing outrage among a substantial number of the adherents of that religion; and he or she intends, by the publication of the matter concerned, to cause such outrage.”

Where a person is convicted of an offence under this section, the court may issue a warrant authorising the Garda Síochána to enter, if necessary using reasonable force, a premises where the member of the force has reasonable grounds for believing there are copies of the blasphemous statements in order to seize them.

Labour spokesman on justice Pat Rabbitte is proposing an amendment to this section which would reduce the maximum fine to €1,000 and exclude from the definition of blasphemy any matter that had any literary, artistic, social or academic merit.

Labour candidate ‘too white and Jewish’ for office.

Posted on by

I guess that’s justice for representing a party that has inundated Britain with immigrants and coddles the Muslim vote as if the very life of the party depended on it. [They are not far off on that one though.]

muslim_shariah_law

From Mail Online April 28-2009

The Labour Party has become embroiled in a race row after a prospective female councillor was allegedly told she was ‘too white and Jewish’ to be selected.

Elaina Cohen claims that Labour councillor Mahmood Hussain said he would not support her application for an inner-city ward because ‘my Muslim members don’t want you because you are Jewish’.

Mrs Cohen, 50, has made an official complaint about the alleged remarks made by Mr Hussain, a Muslim and former lord mayor of Birmingham.

She said: ‘I am shocked and upset that a member of the Labour Party in this day and age could even think something like that, let alone say it.

‘People should not be allowed to make racist comments like that. If someone in the party feels I cannot represent them because of my colour or religion, that’s ridiculous.

‘I felt particularly aggrieved because I have worked across all sections of the community, particularly with the Muslim section, and have been on official visits to Pakistan.’

Mrs Cohen had applied to stand as a Labour councillor for the Birmingham ward of East Handsworth and Lozells, which has a high Asian and Afro-Caribbean population.

As one of Labour’s safest seats on Tory-led Birmingham city council, the final candidate would be almost certain of victory at the June 4 by-election.

But when Mrs Cohen telephoned 57-year-old Mr Hussain for his support, she was astonished to be told that she was too ‘white and Jewish’ to be considered.

Lorraine Briscoe, who runs a local community association, was sitting next to Mrs Cohen when the conversation took place on speakerphone last Tuesday.

‘I was disgusted that a councillor could make comments like that in 2009,’ she said.

‘He told her, “They will not vote for someone who is white and Jewish. My Muslim members don’t want you because you are Jewish”.

‘Elaina then asked him if he had talked to his Muslim members about it and he said, “I don’t want to talk about it with you” and hung up.

‘Elaina does a lot of good work in this community and she does not see race or religion, she just sees people.’

Two days after the alleged conversation, Mrs Cohen and another candidate were rejected by a pre-selection panel after failing to gain the support of the local party.

Instead, members were presented with one candidate, black South African Hendrina Quinnen, who was selected by an almost unanimous vote.

Mrs Cohen has now sent an official complaint to Labour Party general secretary Ray Collins and Birmingham city council accusing Mr Hussain of improper conduct. 

Mr Hussain said yesterday: ‘I would not make those sort of comments. The allegations are not true.’

OIC demands kids video game be removed.

From Jihad watch, here is an article about how the UN OIC, (Organization of Islamic Councils) AKA Islamic nations block at the UN demand that a video game which shows various deities fighting each other be removed from the Internet. It indeed has been removed from several sites but I did find a place where it can still be found and did a screen cap of how the game looks and posted it below. It’s kid of fun to watch Buddha and Jesus kicking the crap out of Mohamed. Go over to Jihad watch and read the comments as well if you like.

Muslims condemn video-game where Jesus and Muhammad battle to the death

4_61_faith_fighter.jpg
Let’s get ready to rumble!

The following article gives several reasons as to why Muslims are upset — it’s offensive to Muslims and Christians, it creates “intolerance,” it is “incendiary,” and so forth. Yet, towards the end, we get the following solitary sentence which probably most sums up Muslim ire: “Islamic law generally opposes physical depictions of the prophet.” Even though the game designers “offered a ‘censored’ option which blocks out the face of Muhammad,” that’s not good enough.

“Jesus vs. Mohammed? Video Game Upsets Islamic Group,” from Fox News, April 28:

CAIRO —
An influential Islamic group branded an online video game depicting religious figures fighting each other as offensive to Muslims and Christians and successfully demanded Tuesday that it be taken offline.In the game “Faith Fighter,” caricatures of Jesus, the Prophet Muhammad, Buddha, God and the Hindu god Ganesh fight each other against a backdrop of burning buildings.

God attacks with bolts of lighting and pillars of fire while the turbaned Muhammad can summon a burning black meteorite.

The Saudi-based Organization of the Islamic Conference, which represents most Muslim nations, said it should be removed from the Internet.

“The computer game was incendiary in its content and offensive to Muslims and Christians. … The game would serve no other purpose than to incite intolerance,” an OIC statement said.

Game designer Molleindustria told the Associated Press the game, which had been around for more than a year and played millions of times, was misunderstood, but had been removed.

“This was meant to be a game against intolerance and against the one-way Islamophobic satire of the Danish Muhammad cartoons,” Molleindustria said in an e-mail message. “So if a respectable organization didn’t understand the irony and the message, we failed.”

Islamic law generally opposes physical depictions of the prophet.

When a Danish newspaper in 2005 printed 12 cartoons showing negative portrayals of Muhammad, Muslims around the world were enraged.

Deadly protests erupted from Morocco to Indonesia, with rioters torching Danish and other Western diplomatic missions. Some Muslim countries boycotted Danish products.

The style of the game, with characters jumping, kicking and knocking each other out, mimics the martial-arts arcade games popular in the 1980s and 1990s.[…]

However, the authors of the game did offer a “censored” option, which blocks out the face of Muhammad…

Below please get a giggle out of how the game looks…

PAKISTAN: TALIBAN-INSPIRED ATTACKS HIT CHRISTIANS

Posted on by

I can’t believe the west is unable to criticize Islamic teaching while the Qu’ran is used as a “how to” manuali-hate-u-infidels in murder and may-hem.

 April 27, 2009-Compass Direct

Armed militants fire into crowd, seriously injuring three; jizye tax imposed in Orakzai.

As Taliban control hits pockets of Pakistan and threatens the nation’s stability, Christians worry their province could be the next to fall under Islamic law.

Violence on Tuesday night and Wednesday (April 21-22) near the port city of Karachi – some 1,000 kilometers (nearly 700 miles) from the Swat Valley, where the government officially allowed the Taliban to establish Islamic law this month – heightened fears. Christians in Taiser town, near Karachi, noticed on the walls of their church graffiti that read, “Long Live the Taliban” and calls for Christians to either convert to Islam or pay the jizye, a poll tax under sharia (Islamic law) paid by non-Muslims for protection if they decline to convert.

As members of the congregation erased the graffiti, armed men intervened to stop them. Soon 30-40 others arrived as support and began to fire indiscriminately at the crowd, leaving several injured. Among those seriously injured were three Christians, including a child, according to a report by advocacy group Minorities Concern of Pakistan: Emrah Masih, 35, Qudoos Masih, 30, and Irfan Masih, 11. A Pashtun named Rozi Khan was also among the injured.

Policemen and military forces arrested seven suspects at the scene and recovered an arms cache of semi-automatic pistols and a Kalashnikov assault rifle. Continue Reading →
