Moroccan feminist and freedom activist tears up a live French TV show on the state of Morocco.

This is really good. Special thanks to Michael Laudahn for his work on this, as it was quite difficult to translate properly and took a great deal of time and effort.

My concern is that she and those magnificent people like her, will manage to be used by the Muslim Brotherhood and the ‘Arab Spring’ will install a Salafist government in Morocco as it has been in Iran, Egypt, Tunisia, and soon Syria and Yemen.

About twenty of them have managed to pass the [fortified] border

Two Guardia Civil officers were injured during a simultaneous attempt by fifty immigrants to enter Melilla by jumping the double fence to Morocco, and about 20 of them have managed to reach spanish ground, according to informations by a speaker at the Delegación del Gobierno.

The facts have occurred this tuesday morning, shortly after 00.15 h, when a group of sub-saharians, about half a hundred, tried to jump the fence separating Melilla from Morocco, not far from the arroyo [creek] de Beni-Enzar. According to the source cited, ‘the sub-saharians, ignoring all the instructions, made a coordinated group jump, which required a rapid intervention by the Guardia Civil’.

The government speaker indicated that thanks to the actuation of the Benemérita [one of the monikers for the Guardia Civil], whose task it is to watch and defend the border, ‘a large part of the group was intercepted, thereby preventing them from entering into Melilla, although it is estimated that some twenty actually managed to enter our city’. During the intervention, however, 2 Guardia Civil officers were injured: one of them with injuries in his right foot which led to his sick-leave; and a second one with abrasions on his hands, arms and knees.

The speaker has informed that the delegado del Gobierno, Abdelmalik El Barkani, ‘wants to send out another message of support and backup to the Guardia Civil, for their intrepid efforts in matters of control and defence of our border, and wishes the injured officers a speedy recovery’.

Moroccan Government Demands Arabic Become Standard Part of European School Curriculum

…and when they hold the whip hand….

 Islam in Europe:

22:05 | Posted by Cheradenine Zakalwe

The Moroccan minister for Moroccans Living Abroad, Abdellatif Mâazouz, is pressing governments in Europe to make the teaching of Arabic a standard part of the European school curriculum.

For several months he and his governement have been undertaking a veritable cultural offensive to impose the Arabic language in the educational curricula of European countries, alongside English, French, Spanish, Portuguese and/or Mandarin.

“A special effort is made on the cultural level and on the level of language teaching…” explains the minister. His activism is starting to bear fruit, as he insists the “voice [of the Moroccan government] is starting to be heard, especially in France, which will soon announce something in this vein,” even going on to enlarge his listening audience to “the EU too”.

Moroccan girl, 16, kills herself after judge forced her to marry man who RAPED her

Daily Mail:

  • Moroccan law exempts rapist from punishment if he agrees to wed victim

A Moroccan teenager killed herself after a judge forced her to marry her rapist.

The 16-year-old girl, named as Amina Filali, ate rat poison after a Tangier court which was supposed to be punishing her 26-year-old attacker decided that they should instead be wed.

This is because Moroccan laws exempt a rapist from punishment if he agrees to marry his victim.

Traumatised by the rape and the forced marriage, Moroccan newspaper al-Massae said she committed suicide at her husband’s house.

 

Hafida Elbaz, director of the Women’s Solidarity Association, criticised the law and said rapists often believed they could avoid punishment by marrying their victims.

Moroccan police have arrested a Danish citizen on terror charges, according to the Associated Press.

The Dane, who is of Moroccan descent, was arrested along with two other men for having planned terror attacks against the Moroccan state. The three suspects are believed to be members of a terror organisation going by the name the Party for Moroccan Islamic Liberation.

According to Morocco’s Interior Ministry, the Danish citizen travelled to Morocco to supervise the execution of a plan that aimed to “undermine the country’s security and stability” by recruiting “indoctrinated” people.

Authorities believe the terror cell is financed by supporters in Europe.

“They spread their nihilistic theses in brochures that they distribute in Moroccan cities,” the Moroccan Interior Ministry said in a statement. “They set a question mark on the entire democratic process and they encourage subversive activity.”

Muslim population in Western Europe rising

IB NEWS… The population of Muslims in Western Europe has been steadily rising in recent decades, largely due to immigration from the Middle East, South Asia and North Africa.

In Southeastern Europe, much of which once formed part of the Ottoman Empire, Muslims have been present for many centuries, but they are a relatively new phenomenon in the western part of the continent.

On the whole, Muslim’s represent about 5 percent of the population of the EU 27.

Far-right politicians in Europe have long warned that the Muslim numbers will continue to grow due to higher birth rates. Marine Le Pen, the head of France’s anti-immigrant National Front party, who openly discusses the rising number Muslims in France, could conceivably win next year’s presidential election, according to polls.

While the percentage of Muslims as part of the overall population of western European nations are in single digits, a 2009 study by the Telegraph newspaper in the UK estimated that by 2050, Muslims will account for 20 percent of the European Union’s populace. Long before that, Britain, Spain and The Netherlands will reach and surpass that figure. Continue Reading →
