Swedish SD party attacked by state media in Finland.

Posted on by

Ken over at Tundra Tabloids was kind enough to translate this for subtitling from Finnish for us all. The SD party appears to be about to make it into the Swedish Government for the first time in this coming election. Below is the video from Finnish TV and below that, some American News clips about the parties sudden, but hardly inexplicable, surge in popularity…

Here is a link to the New York Times on the SD party in Sweden, but I have not read it, as I can’t seem to log in for some reason. I am reliably told it is interesting.

JPOST: ISRAEL AS A SCUM STATE REMOVED FROM FINNISH PAPER’S SITE

Posted on by
MORE ON FINLAND’S ”SCUM GATE”:
Frank Johansson:

“I decided to take down my blog because I appreciate that my comments were ill-judged and appear all the more so when taken out of context, and have obviously caused offence to many people although it was not my intention, at all, to cause such offence.”

Liar!

Johansson had the chance during the Weinthal interview to distance himself from the translation of the word he used, “scum state”, throughout the interview, he’s now saying after the fact that it was taken out of context, with the design to blow things out of proportion. But (a) he refused to challenge the journalist who used the term more than once when questioning about it (I hear it was around 10 times) and (b) spoke of using similar highly charged wording when directing it against GWBush and others to prove he’s used vitriolic statements before while (c) then claiming later on that he hadn’t meant to offend anyone by the term.

He’s a disingenuous liar and anti-Israel bigot who issues anti-Semitic blurbs when he thinks the coast is clear and no one is looking (meaning anyone outside of Finland). He was caught red handed, and now is trying to back peddle without issuing an apology. How can such an organization expect to be recognized as credible, while they have such people at the helm? This is going to get even more interesting. KGS
Here links to all of the post thus far. Here, here and here.

NOTE: The fact that AI London employed the term “scum state” in Benny Weinthal’s latest report shows that AI agrees with the translation or at least understands that the phrase carries that meaning.

‘Israel is a scum state’ removed from Finnish paper’s site

Amnesty International disassociates itself from branch head’s blog.

BERLIN – A blog entry in a Finnish newspaper’s Web site by the head of country’s Amnesty International branch, Frank Johansson, which termed Israel a “scum state,” is no longer online following an inquiry into the matter by The Jerusalem Post.

Speaking from Helsinki, Asmo Halinnen, head of Iltalehti’s Web section, told the Post Wednesday that “he [Johansson] removed the blog post,” adding that “All of the blog writings on our site are the opinion of the writer.”

When asked if there is a policy barring anti-Semitic and racist blogs, Halinnen referred the query to Iltalehti’s editor-in-chief, Kari Kivelä . The top editor did not immediately reply to an e-mail query and telephone call.

The Post reported Wednesday about the blog, which prompted a flurry of activity at AI’s headquarters in London.

In an e-mail to the Post on Wednesday, Johansson wrote, “I decided to take down my blog because I appreciate that my comments were ill-judged and appear all the more so when taken out of context, and have obviously caused offence to many people although it was not my intention, at all, to cause such offence.”

He added “I am especially conscious, and regret that my ill-judged action may be detrimental to Amnesty International’s work on Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories and the valiant human rights work being undertaken by my colleagues working for Amnesty International in Israel.”

Amnesty spokeswoman Susanna Flood said, “Johansson remains as the director of Amnesty International in Finland.

“Obviously, we regret it if such a term was used by an individual whose personal views could be misunderstood as reflecting those of Amnesty International, and we disassociate Amnesty International fully and clearly from such comments and we are making this clear to Mr Johansson,” Flood told the Post. “Amnesty International has never described Israel as a ‘scum state’ or used any such terms to describe Israel,” she added.

Finnish media watchdog site, Tundra Tabloids, which exposed the blog on Monday, said that the post’s removal was “not good enough, there needs to be a full apology coming from AI chairman Frank Johansson.”

CHAIRMAN OF FINNISH AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL CALLS ISRAEL A SCUM STATE

Posted on by

CHAIRMAN OF THE FAUX HUMAN RIGHTS

ORGANIZATION IN FINLAND A.I.

Finland’s AI chairman Frank Johansson:

Oh I’ve been to Israel and deem it a scum state.

Writing on his blog over at the Finnish tabloid paper, Iltalehti, the chairman of Finnish Amnesty International took to calling Israel a “scum state” while recounting a visit he had with his friend who lives there.

Frank Johansson:

“A friend of mine who works in Israel, was visiting while piling wood in the shed, we got into his favourite topic. Several years of  residence in the holy country, he has come to the conclusion that “Israel is a scum state”. On the basis of my own visit, which occurred during the 1970s and 1990s for the final time, I agree.”

So this “human rights” activist who chairs Finland’s AI branch of the international organization, which is supposedly a non-biased, impartial organization, labeled Israelis….scum. The man is a bigot, and an anti-Semite. Would Johansson ever dare to write publically about Saudi Arabia, or any other Muslim nation as a “scum state”, or does he, as many other “human rights” organizations do, take aim at Israel, just because he thinks he can get away with it?

This dispels the notion that Amnesty International (especially in Filand) is an impartial human rights organization as long as sentiments such as Frank Johansson is allowed to go unanswered by that parent organization. Another point worth noticing, is that Johansson makes that obvious biased, bigoted statement out in the open, without a care in the world that he would be held accountable in the Finnish speaking media and blogosphere.

Well guess what bozo, thanks to Vasarahammer and the Tundra Tabloids, your bigoted  and anti-Semtic statement has made it to the English speaking world. KGS

NOTE: This situation is entirely like the situation nine years ago when former French ambassador to the UK, Daniel Bernard’s anti-Semitic stated that Israel is that “shitty little country”

FINLAND: FEMALE GYM’S BAN ON PRAYING AND DINING IN FACILITY TO BE INVESTIGATED BY STATE

Posted on by
We came here to sweat, not to listen
to the members of the ROP praying

No, it’s not a rogue bunch of Baptists taking up badly needed room in the crowded fitness center dressing room, eating and praying, but members of the ROP. According to the newspaper, Vartti:

Located in the center of Espoo, a women’s fitness center has prohibited praying and dine on their premises. The prayer and eating ban came into effect in the Lady Fitness Entresse last Thursday.



The ban by the fitness center’s owner PCNordensved, came after years of complaints about the current prayer. In his view, a dressing room is not suitable for the use of prayer.


– We have as clients dozens of Muslim women. The dressing room has had rather eye-catching moments of prayer. There have been groups and individuals. I have not seen it since it is a women’s fitness and women’s dressing room.


The gym is located on the premises of the Entresse shopping center. According to Nordensved the women have entered the dressing room to pray, even when they were not exercizing in the gym.


– I’ve heard that when they are shopping in the center and prayer time comes, they come to the fitness dressing room to perform prayers.


Interviewed by Vartti, a woman who frequents the gym tells of worshipers she saw in the dressing room last June.


– She threw her coat on the floor in front of solarium room and stood there quietly. A bit scared initially, but it has not bothered me.


The gym center has also banned from the premises, including food, because some women have dined in the dressing room between the long training sessions.


– Some people will come on a long a day trip to the fitness center and eat in the dressing room. A snack, a bite to eat in the dressing room is certainly not forbidden, but this is about eating, was Nordensved’s opinion.


Are these the same women, who pray in the locker room?


– Not entirely, but pretty much the same crowd.


[The notice reads: Because of complaints, we ask all of our customers to kindly refrain from praying and eating in the fitness center’s facilities.


The fitness center and it’s facility are meant to be an area neutral from politicism and religions, where people spend their leasure time in peace. Therefore in future possible religious have to take place outside Fitness center facilities
Eating is forbidden in fitness center facilities. Eating of small snacks is allowed.]


Now since the happening has come to light, the Minorities Ombudsman, Eva Biaudet, wants tp weigh in and see if any “descrimination” has occured. Yes that’s right, a private organization that has its own rules, is now being investigated if it’s in keeping with Finland’s anti-descrimination laws. KGS

Biaudet: It can be discrimination

Minority Ombudsman Eva Biaudet have received news of ban on prayer with astonishment. To consider whether it is about discrimination is still difficult.


– The law assumes that no one may be disadvantaged, and which can also be a call in a particular case can act interpreted as indirect discrimination, “said Biaudet.


 She will ask how religion can be disruptive to other customers.
NOTE: It is distruptive to other customers, and up to the private owner of the establishment to set house rules, who no doubt, do not want to walk over other people kneeling on the floor praying or sitting around stuffing their faces. Special thanks to J, Kumitonttu for bringing this to the TT’s attention and for Kullervokalervontalonpoika for the intial story about the Ombudsman investigation.

Finnish TV does show on Cartoons and Muslims. Interesting half hour.

Posted on by

Here is a 27 minute Finnish TV documentary where the reporter interviews the main imam of Finland about what offends Muslims about drawings and why, and she also takes his explanation to three cartoonists, Kurt Westergaard, who drew the famous bomb-turban Mohamed drawing, and Lars Vilks of Mohamed roundabout dog-Mohamed drawing fame.

She then asks them to do a drawing as an answer to the imam and takes it back to him for his comment. He does what Muslims always do. Demand that Islamic rules be followed by all in the name of tolerance etc.

CHAIRMAN OF HELSINKI FINNISH ATHEISTS OFFERING PORN MAGAZINES IN EXCHANGE FOR KORANS IN CITY CENTER

Posted on by

Replace the KORAN with pornography!

The Helsinki Freethinkers organize the publicity stunt, in which religious literature is exchanged pornographic magazines. The drive is taking place in the Three Blacksmiths Square in Helsinki, and it starts at 14:00.

All are eligible for exchange, Bibles, the Koran, and other “holy” books.

In addition to that they will be taking all kinds of religious literature and magazines. The books will be made into lucrative wastepaper. The aim of the drive is to criticize in particular, Christianity and Islam, and to highlight sexuality as a wholesome alternative to the religious literature.

“Porn allows sexual arousal and pleasure, either alone or in company.

Sex – including masturbation – according to sextology studies have shown that in many ways are good for health and state of mind. The world would be more relaxed and happier place if people switched from the “holy” book, to pornography, “says Tommi Paalanen of the Helsinki Free-thinkers. The drive is organized by Helsinki Freethinkers, and it is backed by Hustler and Jallu.

NOTE: The drive this Friday, 04,06.10, is for all religious books to be exchanged for pornography, but since Christianity has dealt with such things in times past, the Tundra Tabloids decided to place the KORAN with top billing honors, since its being targeted as well. KGS

CITY OF HELSINKI POOL SPONSORING MUSLIM GIRLS’ ONLY SWIMMING CLASSES

Posted on by
DHIMMITUDE IN FINLAND!

This is the screenshot of the Helsinki City Pool website page

This is wrong on so many levels. At the minimum, it should be billed as female swimming classes, but as a rule, anything even remotely resembling gender apartheid should be avoided  at all costs. Islamic teachings provide the youth with a warped view and understanding of the sexes from an early age. This actually goes against discrimination laws already on the books in Finland, the TT is waiting to see if any of the humanist groups and civil liberty organizations take up the challenge of defending individual rights for all Finnish citizens and residents. KGS
Thanks to Jere Keronen and Kumitonttu for the H/T

UPDATE: The TT just called the pool about these identity driven politics, and he said that they won’t be offering such a plan in the Fall, but why not stop it now? If it’s illegal, the courses should be stopped fully and it offered to everyone.

This week’s “Tales from the ‘Freedom’ files”

Posted on by

This week’s stories remind us once again of how ‘old fashioned’, rational thought is being replaced by ‘progressive’, irrational ideology. The Loony Left in its mission to create a better, more thoughtful world continues to cast aside what they consider the useless notions of public consultation, debate and majority consent in favour of their gentler, wiser, dictatorial approach. Initially we at vladtepesblog were reluctant to post these stories, as we felt they may provide more data for the social engineers of our cities to expand their role of government interference in our personal choices and anything else enjoyable. Quickly concluding they will rail on regardless, we got over it. Enjoy.

#1 From Finland. (Telegraph)  Finnish Postal Service to Open Mail, Send Scanned e-Mail Copies. In a bid to both reduce CO2 emissions and the present number of postmen, Finland will begin opening household mail. Intimate love letters, payslips, overdue bills and personal messages will not be spared under the new voluntary, controversial scheme. Itella, the state owned company which runs the Nordic country’s postal system insists the highly automated process of converting letters to electronic documents will be conducted under ‘special secured premises’ where staff are bound by strict confidentiality conditions. Director at Itella Tommi Tikka, likens the move to web banking. But others vehemently disagree, comparing the initiative to what the KGB did in it’s time in the Soviet Union and the Stasi in East Germany. But Finns who long for the tactile touch and scent of real stationary need not worry; once their mail has been opened and scanned, it will be returned to it’s envelope(s) and delivered in normal fashion with the postman delivering only twice per week.

#2 From The U.K. (Telegraph) Teachers Ordered To Smile at Students. Teachers at Buile Hill Visual Arts College in Salford received a memo from a senior staff teacher telling them to begin each school day with a smile and to avoid making students ‘bored’ by setting words that are either too hard or too easy. The demand is part and parcel of a broader government initiative listing pupil entitlements and issues arising from “student voice discussions” giving children more power in respect of their schooling. iPhones have been issued to some students at a secondary school in Kent enabling them to instantly report on teachers. In one instance, a candidate for a teaching position was asked during an interview by a student panel to sing Michael Jackson’s Bad and after refusing to do so, was not offered the job. The most recent episode involved a head teacher who was forced out of her new role after a Facebook campaign by pupils angry at her appointment. Teachers are now being told, “Don’t be surprised if you are asked to explain your actions if you are found in violation of the agreed expectations”.

#3 From Canada. (CBC News)  Smoking Ban Floats at Vancouver’s Beaches, Parks. Keeping in line with Canada’s compulsion for bans, the Vancouver Park Board is considering outlawing smoking at beaches, parks and playgrounds. Smoking is already banned in all public buildings, bus shelters and near open windows and entrances in British Columbia. In an online survey conducted last year, over 600 people responded with 90% in favor of some type of smoking restriction in parks and on beaches. Park Board commissioner Raj Hundal said a total ban is one option up for discussion at a board meeting to be held April 19. He added ” I think the public is demanding we look at the issue. Whether it will be an outright ban or a modified version of the (existing) ban, we owe it to the public to examine the issue and make a decision from there”. Neighboring North Vancouver, White Rock and West Vancouver already have smoking restrictions at beaches and parks.

#4 From Denmark. (Reuters)  Solidarity Strike for Suds at Carlsberg. Warehouse and driver staff at the Danish brewery Carlsberg halted work for a second day Thursday protesting a company decision which would limit beer drinking to lunch breaks. In response to the introduction of new rules for employees on beer drinking at work and seeing refrigerators emptied of pints, over 800 workers walked off the job in protest with other staff striking in sympathy. Drivers retain an old right to 3 beers per day outside lunch hours and warehouse workers claimed the same right. Jens Bekke, spokesman at the world no.4 brewer said there would be no shipments from Copenhagen with delays in the rest of the country. The financial effect of the strike is set to be minor.

The strike in Denmark followed the company's April 1 decision to introduce new rules for employees on beer drinking at work. Suzanne Plunkett/Bloomberg News

*** and the story we almost forgot…..***

From The U.K. (Telegraph)  BNP Teachers Should Be Banned. Activists from the National Union of Teachers (NUT) has said that members of the British National Party should be banned from the classroom. A  motion to the conference called for ‘united action’ against the BNP and other groups such as the English Defence League with an amendment to the resolution demanding an all-out ban.

The comment follows the publication of a government review which said there was no justification for banning teachers from joining extremist organizations. BNP members are already banned from working as prison officers and activists insist the same ban be applied to the education service. Jean Roberts a delegate from Hammersmith and Fulham, west London said that although she opposes BNP’s views and that any teacher who promotes racist views should be barred from the classroom, she doesn’t agree that the state should bar teachers from joining any presently legal political party. “ To remove such a basic civil right, the right of association, something trade unionists hold precious, is in my view a grossly disproportionate response” she said.

BNP teachers 'should be banned'

Responding, BNP communications officer Paul Golding said “ It’s a dangerous road to go down, once you start banning political beliefs. Isn’t that the sort of thing always lambasted by democratic politicians, banning people based on (their) political beliefs?”.

Finnish International Law Expert Lauri Hannikainen Blames Muslims’ Problems All on Host Population…….

Posted on by
HELSINKI’S OWN VERSION OF PRAVDA

The Helsingin Sanomat publishes an op-ed today in it’s Saturday edition by Lauri Hannikainen, a professor of International Law at the University of Turku, and who is also a member of the European Commission against Racism and Intolerance at Council of Europe. Hannikainen’s op-ed about Finland, Islam and integration, offers yet another example of a Finnish professor of international law making a total ass of himself on the front pages of that bird cage paper called the Helsingin Sanomat.

The Tundra Tabloids reported earlier about Martin Scheinin, the infamous Finnish international law expert who believes that current anti-terrorism policies, should reflect sensitivity towards certain trans-gender issues. And then there’s Martti Koskenniemi, another Finnish ‘expert’ on international law, who agrees with the absurd meme of the anti-Semite, Norman Finklestein, that Israel uses the Holocaust to deflect both criticism and international pressure away from its self defence policies.

Lauri Hannikainen, Martin Scheinin and Martti Koskenniemi all share a deep dislike for Israel’s determination to protect its citizens, and spread that dislike throughout the academic community, at home and abroad. Here is what Hannikainen writes, and please take note, he starts off by proving that he’s cognizant of the troubles that fundamentalist Muslims (and the quiet majority) are creating around Europe, but then exonerates them and blames the host populations.

Lauri Hannikainen: Just trust me,
I’ve asked the Muslims all about it

Our country should maintain a liberal line, and allow the use of headscarves in schools.

Europe is following the model of three different approaches to the use of religious symbols in schools managed by society: the use of religious symbols are prohibited by the principle of neutrality in the name (France). Each school will decide by themselves (Belgium). The use of religious symbols shall be permitted, as long as they do not go too far (Finland, Sweden). The wearing of a veil covering the face is considered excessive.

The principal, Karin Heremans, of the Athenee School in Antwerp Belgium, became known after he advocated that schools should have a lenient attitude towards religious symbols. He appealed to religious freedom, minority rights and intercultural dialogue. Last summer, however, he changed his tune, and ordered a school ban on religious symbols.

Heremans’ reasons for his decision, is the fact that Muslim girls use of the scarf had become a political symbol. Muslim students and their parents had begun to put pressure on Muslim girls who didn’t wear the scarf to come to school wearing them. Athenee-school atmosphere had been the more liberal of the other belgian schools. The Islamic conservatives, however, were able to organize the school and put more and more requirements, such as students’ right not to participate in certain classes and excursions. School was also asked to give up parental evenings, to which both sexes would participate.

So far so good, but watch how he now turns the tables and places the blame for everything on everyone else but the Muslims.

“In Belgium, as in many other Western European countries, there is also has a wider social reason for the deterioration in relations between the majority population and Muslim migrants : the extreme right-wing’s incitement of racism. Right-wing extremist propaganda has poisoned the atmosphere and hampered the integration of Muslims into society. Muslims put on the defensive has increased their willingness to fight.”
FULL STOP. First of all, there isn’t a single Neo-Nazi or skin head, racial supremacist organization in existence in Europe, that’s actively working against the Muslims, at least not in any recognizable way. in fact, they are working with them because the Muslim Brotherhood, (and Islam in general) is in fact a Fascist organization.

What they both have in common is a loathing of the individual Jew, and the world’s only Jewish state. That’s their common enemy, that, plus their basic ideology is what binds these two Fascist ideologies together. Hannikainen is just propagating a myth, not fact. (Click the picture for a close up of the SS insignias these Neo-Nazis are wearing while marching with their co-Muslim buddies in an anti-Israel demonstration.

Secondly, Hannikainen errs in lumping a clearly Left-wing movement, Fascism/Neo-Nazism, with conservative politics. It’s been a trick on the Left to identify the Fascists with the Right-wing but that’s not where they belong. Extreme Right-winger would be an ultra Libertarian, not a proppnent for big government, who is more than willing to sacrifice the individual for the sake of the collective group, as well as promoting racism and genocide. That’s traditional Marxist/Socialist thought through and through.

He continues.

“In light of that, it may be asked whether the French model of religious neutrality, is not the best option. It prohibits, in principle, on an equal basis for all religious symbols at public schools. This option may be the best in many situations, but I do not recommend it for Finland.

Our country has more than 40 000 Muslim immigrants, and the number is growing. The Muslim and majority population relations have been quite good. Most problems are caused by discrimination by the majority population.”

Most of the problems? Muslims in Finland, in spite of their small demographic number have managed to create from themselves Muslim only swimming hours in public pools, while keeping Finnish females from sun bathing while their children play in the park. There are also those who say Muslims are over represented in Finnish correctional facilities.

In spite of their small numbers, immigrant Muslims with a political Islamic agenda are having a field day with Finnish societal norms, and yet, it’s supposedly Finland’s majority population’s “discrimination” that’s responsible for Muslim “youths” breaking the law. What a bunch of nonsense. Arman Alizad, whose parents moved to Finland in the 60’s would disagree:

“Finland is home to thousands of hardworking and law-abiding foreigners who are adapting to the service industry a hundred times better than the Finns. It is wrong, for their reputation to be stained because of those who exploit Finnish generosity.”

Hannikainen’s thinking is a clear example of the humanitarian racism that the Tundra Tabloids keeps referring to, “the attribution of intrinsically reduced responsibilities for their actions to people of certain ethnic or national groups”.

But there’s more!

“The organization of Finland’s Muslim communities is still ongoing. The main confederation, the Finnish Islamic Council (Sine) has been operating since 2006. The authorities may choose to negotiate with it on Muslim issues.

The Council’s enunciations have been moderate. This reflects the fact that Finland lacks a strong extreme right-wing which provokes hatred towards Islam.

The Finnish Islamic Council (Sine) inform constructively to promote understanding of Islam in Finland as well as Finnish culture within the Muslim community. The aim is to prevent the Islamic and even anti-Islamic extremism development in Finland.”

The Tundra Tabloids begs to differ. The Finnish Islamic Council is far from being the moderate organization that the professor of international law and the SINE, makes it out to be. Upon closer examination, the FIC/SINE has yet to distance itself from (or at least condemn) the Finnish Islamic Society for the links it maintains to the anti-Semitic and homophobic and suicide bombing supporting Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi (and CAIR).

It’s laughable that the international law expert would applaud an Islamic umbrella organization for its moderation, all the while it finds nothing wrong with one of its member Islamic organizations linking to such an Islamic extremist and racist like Qaradawi. The man is either clueless about Islamic law and the direct political agenda that derives from it, or he is just closing a blind eye and purposefully lying to his readers.

He continues:

In Finland, there is no need to appeal for prohibitions on Muslims. Our country should maintain a liberal line, and so allow the use of headscarves in schools as well as the building of a minaret.

A change in policy would be necessary only if the wearing of headscarves should be policy-making tool. A development which is not in sight.

SINE underpinned by both the Finnish Ombudsman for Minorities and our traditional Muslim community of Tatars and their Finnish Islamic congregation. Tatars in Finland are well integrated, but have maintained their own religion and language. They have the experience and vision of how the Muslim integration can be a success. The Tatar community should also more closely provide expertise for SINE to use.

The only reason why the Tartar community hasn’t been radicalized in times past, is due to their complete isolation and secularization by the host society over the last hundred years, and during which time, Islamic fundamentalism, globally, was non-existent. KGS

Honour killings, Finland and elsewhere.

Posted on by

Here is a Vladtepesblog and Tundra Tabloids original. The heavy lifting was Tundra who translated this video, and VTB titled and edited it. Here is a rather excellent example of the train wreck that occurs when political correctness meets Islam. Despite the overwhelming evidence this 12 minute documentary shows about Islamic violence and dominance of women, Finnish state TV felt the need to have 2 minutes of propaganda about how Islam does not condone violence and especially against women.

Here at Vlad we decided to take that bit out and instead, put in a few verses from Koran and Hadith about women that explain the actual facts rather better.

UK: Muslim MP: security profiling at airports is ‘price we have to pay’

A modicum of brains can be very efficacious. From the Telegraph:

A Muslim MP has opened up divisions within the Islamic community by saying it is reasonable for Muslims to be singled out for extra airport security measures following the Detroit bomb attempt.

A Muslim MP has opened up divisions within the Islamic community by saying it is reasonable for Muslims to be singled out for extra airport security measures following the Detroit bomb attempt.

Khalid Mahmood Photo: BPM

Khalid Mahmood, the Labour MP for Birmingham Perry Barr, said it had become necessary to ‘profile’ passengers from certain racial and religious groups in order to weed out possible terror suspects.

He said: “I think most people would rather be profiled than blown up. It wouldn’t be victimisation of an entire community.

“I think people will understand that it is only through something like profiling that there will be some kind of safety.

“If people want to fly safely we have to take measures to stop things like the Christmas Day plot. Profiling may have to be the price we have to pay.

“The fact is the majority of people who have carried out or planned these terror attacks have been Muslims.”

Muslim opinion on the subject was split yesterday, with some groups objecting to any such move for fear of alienating large sections of the community.

Massoud Shadjareh, the chairman of the Islamic Human Rights Commission, said: “It’s not true that all terrorists are Muslims.

“Any such measure would not only alienate people, it would also be ineffective in terms of stopping terrorists. What’s to stop them dressing up as orthodox Jews in order to evade profiling-based searches?”

However, many British Muslims now agree with Mr Mahmood.

Dr Shaaz Mahboob, of British Muslims for Secular Democracy, said: “We have seen that certain types of people who fit a certain profile – young men of a particular ethnic background – have been engaged in terror activities, and targeting this sort of passenger would give people a greater sense of security.

“Profiling has to be backed by this type of statistical and intelligence-based evidence. There would be no point in stopping Muslim grandmothers.”

The Airport Operators Association and BAA, the UK’s largest airport operator, are in favour of passenger profiling.

The UK Border Agency says profiling is one of the security measures used in the case of people coming into Britain, but the Department of Transport refuses to say whether it is used on passengers leaving the country.

Finnish Guinness World Record Piano Player and Anti-Semite Richard Järnefelt Claims He’s Philo-Semitic While Wishing For The Genocide of Israel

Posted on by
Richard Järnefelt:
I’m no anti-semite, all I did was compare
Israeli policies to that of the Nazis!

The Tundra Tabloids had blogged about the Finnish pianist, Richard Järnefelt, who wrote an article in which he concludes that the founding of the Jewish state was a mistake, as well as comparing Israeli policies to the Nazis. Järnefelt feels that the smearing of Israel as a genocidal state, and that it carries out policies comparable to the mass deportations and systematic persecution and mass murder of tens of millions of people done by the Nazis….is not anti-Semitic, just legitimate criticism. Welcome to Europe.

WRONG Järnefelt, it is indeed anti-Semitic to deem the world’s only Jewish state, not only as a mistake, but then compare it with the Nazis, and then suggest that the world should end its independence. According to the EU’s own working definition of anti-Semitism, it includes the following:

  • Denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination, e.g., by claiming that the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavor.
  • Drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis.
So by the EU’s own definition, which you most likely never read, the following statements you made in your article that has circled the Finnish print media and internet, were indeed, anti-Semitic. Here’s quote from Järenfelt’s post:

“If the pervasive modern media did not exist, and international organizations were not interested, I believe that Israel would act in a more obscene way, with the aim of achieving the “final solution” of the Palestinian issue.
 
I think it is chilling to see that the modern State of Israel does not treat its minorities any better than Nazi Germany treated the Jews, Gypsies, Jehovah’s Witnesses, gays, etc. It would be imagined that the suffering caused to their own tribe would open their eyes to the suffering of others, but with Israeli Jews it seems quite the opposite has happened.
[…]
“A country which is trying to destroy another nation, is not worthy of international sympathy, instead there should be a sending of troops to end that country’s independence. Which has been a mistake from the beginning.”
So after reading his (Järnefelt’s) statements, it becomes amazingly clear that the man was uttering some highly anti-Semitic remarks under the guise of “criticism of Israel”. Järnefelt might have been unaware of the EU working definition of anti-Semitism, but it doesn’t excuse him from being labeled an anti-Semite, he is one, no matter how many Jews he said he’s helped in his career. Here is what the TT received from Järnefelt in the comment section to the post that first highlighted outrageous comments.

With all my respect, is the writer totally nut?

I myself have never been an Anti-Semite, but I do not also have anything against Islam, and I have great friends on the both sides. You think that if I don´t give the glory to all the things state Israel does, I am automaticly Anti-Semite?

Do you know that acting like this you really creating more Anti-Semites. My personal mission has been trying to build peace and understanding between different religions. This kind of bull-shit – blogs make the mission even harder.

See my soon published life story, so you can find out my hard working also for to help Jewish people in Soviet earlier. I will contact Finnish Police for to take away this page unless you don´t understand to do it by yourself and ASAP.

No Järnefelt, your propogating Muslim anti-semitic myths about Israel helps feed anti-Semitism both domestically and abroad, by hinting at ancient anti-Jewish motiffs of the evil Jew. It’s bull-shit writers like yourself that are responsible for disseminating lies about Jews and Israel, as well as your use of “humanitarian works” for Russian Jews as fig leaf to attack Israel. Nice try lamebrain.
The only way that the Tundra Tabloids will remove this post, as well as the original post about your anti-Semitism, is for you to publically apologize for your anti-Semitic blog post, and to actively seek its removal from the web. Until then, the Tundra Tabloids will keep both of them up as classic examples of anti-Semitism parading itself as legitimate criticism of Israel. KGS

NOTE: Järnefelt’s buddy, or maybe Järnefelt himself in the form of a sockpuppet left this informative tidbit:

So this is the thanks? At magazine Uusi Suomi he did nothing but followed the information of Amnesty International, and critized Israel for preventing Palestinians to get the water. Shame on the keeper of these sides!

Here’s another reason why Amnesty International should be properly understood as being a pseudo human rights organization, and as a propogator of myths and anti-Israel/Jewish canards. They are corrupt to the core, and it’s ignoramuses like anti-Semites such as Richard Järnefelt, who eagerly but into the nonsense A I peddles. Here is the Israeli MFA’s factual answer to Amnesty International’s bogus report.
