France: ‘Burka ban’ confirmed by ECHR

Posted on by

In October 2010, French government passed a bill prohibiting the concealment of one’s face in public places. The law, commonly known as ‘burka ban’ led a Muslim woman to file a lawsuit at the European Court for Human Rights (ECHR), as she felt discriminated against. The French national, who was born in 1990 and lives in France, preferred to remain unnamed. As a devout Muslim and in her submissions she said that she wore the burka and niqab (full-body covering) in accordance with her religious faith, culture and personal convictions.

Today, the ECHR confirmed that the French ‘burka ban’ is in line with the European Convention:

“In today’s Grand Chamber judgment in the case of S.A.S. v. France (application no. 43835/11), which is final1, the European Court of Human Rights held, by a majority2, that there had been no violation of Article 8 (right to respect for private and family life) of the European Convention on Human Rights, and no violation of Article 9 (right to respect for freedom of thought, conscience and religion); unanimously, that there had been no violation of Article 14 (prohibition of discrimination) of the European Convention combined with Articles 8 or 9. […] The Court emphasised that respect for the conditions of “living together” was a legitimate aim for the measure at issue and that, particularly as the State had a lot of room for manoeuvre (“a wide margin of appreciation”) as regards this general policy question on which there were significant differences of opinion, the ban imposed by the Law of 11 October 2010 did not breach the Convention.”

As France continues to grapple with growing violent anti-Semitism alarming reports suggest a potentially deadly terrorist attack on a Paris synagogue in broad daylight was thwarted at the very last minute on Saturday.

According to French-language JSS News, a pair of unidentified attackers approached the synagogue, located in the French capital’s 20th District, armed with an AK-47 assault rifle and a handgun. According to reports they began aiming their guns at bystanders and the building itself and pretended to open fire, but fled the scene when they saw armed French police officers guarding the synagogue.

Reports say they escaped on a scooter.

Extracts from a report on terrorism in Europe by Europol:

Posted on by

Translation by Oz-Rita

Article by Maxime Lépante

Taken from Ripostelaique:

France is on the first rank among countries exposed to terrorism in Europe. That is the result of the annual report  from Europol published  last Thursday on the evolution of terrorism. They report that between 2009 and 2013, the number of arrests of islamist activists has doubled in Europe. France had the greatest number of islamist activists. 

[…]

The numbers speak for themselves:  in 2013 there were 216 arrests of presumed islamist terrorists, 143 of them in France. Two thirds of arrested suspects in Europe were arrested in our country. (Muslims, living in France) seem to be radicalized especially fast. Between 2012 and 2013, the number of presumed islamist activists has nearly doubled, from 91 to 143. (…)

Fin 2013, [les djihadistes] étaient entre 1.200 et 2.000 Européens, d’après Europol. Et ce chiffre augmente encore depuis le début de l’année. L’agence policière européenne estime donc que le retour de ces djihadistes dans l’Union constitue désormais une sérieuse préoccupation. (…)

According to Europol, at the end of 2013 European jihadists were between 1,200 and 2,000 and this number increased since the beginning of this year. (…)

In addition, the number of [muslims coming from France] in Syria has increased by 75% in a few months.

66% of muslim terrorists of Europe are in France

Une image étant souvent plus parlante que mille mots, voici le nombre de terroristes musulmans arrêtés en 2013 dans les pays de l’Union Européenne :

A picture tells a thousand words: Here you can see the number of muslim terrorists arrested during 2013 in countries of the EU:

You can see that of 216 muslim terrorists arrested in the EU in 2013, 143 (66%) in France.
So, two thirds of terrorist threats in the EU are concentrated in France.
In their report, Europol predicts an “exponential increase” of muslim terrorism in Europe in the near future.
So we can expect a mulitiplication of muslim terrorist attacks in France, as long as the French government refuses to really fight muslim terrorism and islam, its source.

EXCLUSIVE: what the Islamist who disrupted the Easter Mass at Dole wrote in the register of the collegiate church

Posted on by

An original translation by SIMONXML

From Islamisation France:

First, let us review the facts. Read in ‘Le Progrès’:

“The faithful who were present at the scene were amazed. This Sunday morning, in a Collegiate (Church) ( full to bursting, a man wearing a djellaba and a headdress came to pray. He placed a carpet to the left of the altar, while the congregation was trying to celebrate the Easter mass.

The man, visibly disturbed, read verses from the Koran before writing a few lines in Arabic in the parish register. After having disturbed the Palm Sunday Mass once, last week at the Bedugue and then at the collegiate church, worshippers had notified the police.

A team came to ask him to leave in peace. The sub-prefect, who had been notified of this public order disturbance, insisted: “We must not create confusion. This inappropriate behavior is the act of a clearly disturbed individual. ”

Analysis by ‘Observatoire de l’islamisation’:

The Islamist is not ‘mad’ at all, he wrote carefully in Moroccan calligraphy an extract from Surah 112 of the Koran which warns explicitly against the claim by Christ to be the Son of God:

“In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful” (basmala)
1- Say: “He is Allah, who is One”
2- Allah, the Eternal Refuge.
3- He neither begets nor is born,
4- Nor is there to Him any equivalent.”

To better understand the intolerance of the Islamist in Jura, you should know that the Islamic bestseller “The Citadel of the Muslim” written by Al Qatahni, edited by Sana (main Parisian Muslim Publishing House), available in all Muslim bookshops in France, Chapter 88 is called “To protect themselves against the false Messiah” (i.e. Jesus)

Extract from page 175: “And to warn those who say,” Allah was given a son”. Of that neither they nor their fathers know anything. What odious words come out of their mouths! What they say is nothing but lies. ”

There want to loudly challenge and provoke Catholics against this “odious lie,” there is only one step that was blithely crossed at Dole.

Missing vials of SARS and potential use for it?

Posted on by

Several people have sent in multiple links about the 3300 odd missing vials of SARS virus from the Lois Pasteur research facility in France.

The Daily Mail:

And the IBTimes.

I haven’t posted them till now because a keen observer of events who reads Vlad from time to time reminded me of an interesting event that took place nearly a year ago to the week.

Now I am not saying that these events are connected in anyway. I am just wondering if people who had the kind of training that the people at the formerly-Ottawa research facility, now moved to the UK, would be able to take the fragments of SARS in those vials and make them an actual contagion again or otherwise a threat to the public. Just, you know, as a matter of interest.

Thank you C for the emails. I hope to post more on this later as more questions arise.

 

 

Islam always manages to amaze.

Posted on by

After years of chronicling the horrors that Islam as an ideology drives people to do, and no matter how numb I get to the inhumanity of countless muslim snuff videos, the retrograde forces it applies to otherwise exemplary societies, the degradation of human dignity they aspire to (not that they have the monopoly on that you understand) and take pride in that aspiration, it still amazes me that they can still amaze me.”

Thank you Oz-Rita for taking time yet again on your vacation to do not just the hard work of translating these videos, but having to subject yourself to the horror and the viscous evil that oozes out of them in order that those of us in still-civilized nations who do not yet understand the threat might get yet another glimpse of what it means not to oppose this ideology, and the people who spread it as rats carry plague.
