So, who kidnapped them?
Is it my imagination? did I miss it? Or is there not ONE mention of who actually kidnapped these people in this entire 3:41 second news report on the rescue of these hostages. Not one mention. There are details of the victims and the rescue and everyone who said thank you from the friends servants tennis partners and their pets but not one mention of who did the kidnappings.
Staggering.
Gunmen kidnap aid workers from Kenya camp, driver killed
Yahoo News:
People move around near makeshift homes, or “tukuls”, in the outskirts of Dagahaley …
NAIROBI (Reuters) – Gunmen kidnapped four aid workers and killed a driver at Kenya’s Dadaab refugee camp near the border with Somalia on Friday, in the first kidnapping of foreigners since Kenya sent troops into Somalia in October to try to crush Islamist militants.
The gunmen are suspected sympathisers of Somalia’s al Qaeda-linked al Shabaab insurgents, regional deputy police chief Philip Ndolo, told Reuters.
In Somalia, al Shabaab said it was not aware of the attack.
“So far we are not aware about any aid workers kidnapped from Kenya’s refugee camps,” Sheikh Abdiasis Abu Musab, the spokesman for al Shabaab’s military operations, told Reuters.
Kenyan police said the four were nationals of Norway, Canada, Pakistan and the Philippines. A Kenyan driver in a second vehicle was killed during the attack.
They were working for the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) and the group’s secretary general, Elisabeth Rasmusson, was also in the convoy and was unharmed, the aid group said.
A Kenyan driver was shot in the attack had died of his injuries while being treated, Ndolo said. Two other Kenyans were also shot, another driver and a contractor for the NRC, he said.
Police and the military were now pursuing the kidnappers who drove towards the Kenya and Somalia border, police said.
“I can confirm that military helicopters have been dispatched,” Colonel Cyrus Oguna of the Kenya Defence Forces told Reuters.
Ndolo said the car in which the aid workers were travelling had been abandoned by the attackers, and that the group were probably using another vehicle or were on foot.
He could not say if they had already crossed into Somalia.
Here is a stunningly pathetic sanitized and politically correct video from CTV news on this issue. Get ready for this. Look at your watch when the woman is asked who did the kidnappings. You can hear something snap inside as she figures out how to avoid answering that question. While she mentions Al Shabab, she never mentions the fact that they are an orthodox Muslim group. Hell she doesn’t even use the laughable and synthetic term, ‘Islamist’. The rest of the clip she attempts to try and defer attention from them and make it look like maybe it was an organized crime gang that did it. (Although certainly not a Chicago one cause then, you know, maybe Obama might be involved)
BBC attempts to report important news, while using the official state ideology to sanitize it to the extent possible
I guess the narrative of Islam as the religion of peace must be in real trouble in the UK when the BBC actually talk about Islamic extremist threats even while they soft peddle it.
I still find it amusing when the main stream, allegedly news reporters use invented words such as, “Islamists” and if you ask them what it means, you get the deer in the headlights.
A half truth is the damnedest of lies. The NYT attempts to write on the Bonn Riots in May
Once again, the MSM, the New York Times being the most MSM of them all, utterly fabricate the narrative and tell their own story at the expense of the truth. The facts are that those who demonstrated against the salafists are in favor of freedom of speech, of equal treatment for women and for all before the law. What we should call ‘classical liberals’ and what in the 1950s would have likely been called ‘commie pinkos’ by some on the right in the US. The “far right” the media is constantly referring to, should more correctly be applied to a group of people that feel:
1. Women are made by Allah as deficient and the testimony of 2 women is barely equal to one man
2. Hatred of Jews is central dogma
3. That scriptural law should be supreme at the expense of all liberal and democratic methods of governance.
In other words, the Muslims.

BONN — The people who live in the trim row houses with well-tended gardens that line the streets of this spa town along the Rhine like to boast of their city’s tolerance as the onetime home to dozens of foreign embassies, when Bonn served as capital of West Germany.

“But at some point, she noticed several young men stuffing their pockets with the small slate chips that line the garden along her exterior wall.

Toronto Sun: “…describing the killer as a dark-skinned man wearing a hoodie and baggy pants…”
The Toronto Sun seems to be the only available description of the shooter, and I checked youtube and twitter till 3:30 AM Toronto time this morning looking for one. In fact, several youtube channels have been closed down that had videos of the event, one channel was even called, ‘Eaton Center Shooting’.
Ot can’t have been copyright issues as the recordings of TV news were all still up there. It would appear, but I cannot state this is the case, that cell phone and amateur videos from those present seem to have been meticulously scrubbed from the public domain.
Next time I will check the Toronto Sun first. At least they seem to remember the basics of what journalism is supposed to do.
Inform the public.

Bomb Operation After Two Terror Arrests
Sky:
Police put a cordon on a Buttermere Close garage
1:49pm UK, Saturday May 12, 2012
A bomb disposal team has performed a controlled explosion at a garage block in Cheltenham after two men were arrested on terror charges.
Residents of more than 100 homes remain evacuated after police set up a cordon following the arrests.
The alarm was first raised yesterday following raids at two properties in the town.
Officers initially searched a home in Brooklyn Road, Hester’s Way, where they arrested a 52-year-old local man under the Explosive Substances Act.
Police then found items “requiring further investigation” in a garage in Buttermere Close, in the Up Hatherley area of the town.
A 31-year-old man was subsequently arrested, Gloucestershire Constabulary confirmed.
“At the moment we unfortunately are not able to say when we will be able to lift the cordon (in Buttermere Close),” Assistant Chief Constable Richard Berry told Sky News.
The garage is located less than one mile from the Government electronic eavesdropping centre GCHQ.

Lather, Rinse, and Repeat
Mark Steyn:
From The National Review:
The killer of French schoolchildren and soldiers turns out to be a man called Mohammed Merah. The story can now proceed according to time-honored tradition:
Stage One: The strange compulsion to assure us that the killer is a “right wing conservative extremist,” in the words of NRO commenter ExpatAsia, echoed by Chrisman and Galt’s Bain. Up north, this view was shared by Canada’s most prominent establishment Jew and the Liberal Party attack poodle Warren Kinsella (whom NR readers may recall from my free-speech cover story, which mentioned the groveling apology he was forced to make to “the Chinese community” after an unfortunately sinophobic cat joke). The insistence that the killer was emblematic of an epidemic of right-wing hate sweeping the planet is, regrettably, no longer operative. Instead, the killer isn’t representative of anything at all.
So on to Stage Two: Okay, he may be called Mohammed but he’s a “lone wolf.”
DR.MANFRED GERSTENFELD: TARIQ RAMADAN TRANSFORMS MOHAMMED MERAH INTO NON-RACIST, NON- ANTI-SEMITIC VICTIM OF SOCIETY
OIC’s Sec-Gen Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu would agree.

The Murderer Merah as a Victim and Hero
By Manfred Gerstenfeld
Politically correct European elites and many Muslims have jointly created the perception that all Muslims are victims of the West. Consistent flawed reasoning and false arguments have made this possible.
On the basis of the fake ‘victimhood’ platforms created over the years, whitewashers of the murderer Mohamed Merah are constructing new false images. It is difficult to deny that the three French soldiers, a Jewish teacher and three children whom he killed are victims. Once having paid tribute to them, whitewashers began to turn the brutal murderer into a victim as well.
Among the most intelligent Merah apologists is Tariq Ramadan, a Geneva-born Professor of Contemporary Islamic Studies at Oxford. He first whitewashed Muslim anti-Semite Merah’s worldview. He eloquently wrote that “Merah was a misguided youngster in whose thought there were no values of Islam or racist and anti-Semitic ideas.” The next step was to turn Merah into a victim. In Ramadan’s words, Merah was “a poor guy, guilty and to be condemned undoubtedly, even if he himself was a victim of a social order which had already condemned him and millions of others to a marginality and a non-recognition of his statute of citizen with equal rights and chances.”1 Ramadan thus transformed Merah into a non-racist, non- anti-Semitic victim of society, whose ideas had nothing to do with any Muslim current.
100 properties evacuated in England because of a ‘suspicious device’
Don’t bother looking for the name of the person they arrested after a 9 hour standoff and a giant expense and inconvenience to all, let alone the potential terrorist event that seems to have been likely. Itisn’t there. The names of lots of witnesses are clearly spelled out though. I hope they all have lots of insurance. The police really only want to protect the perp in every way clearly.
Someone needs to find the name of the guy with the “suspicious device” and broadcast it. ASAP.

A former teaching assistant has been jailed for five years and three months for donating £9,000 to fund terrorism in Somalia.
Shabaaz Hussain, 28, gave the money in 2010 to three of his friends who left the UK to allegedly become involved in terrorism in the east African country.
Extremist material was also found in his flat in Stepney, east London.
Evidence was gathered against Hussain when police secretly recorded conversations he had in his car.
Passing sentence at Woolwich Crown Court the judge, Mr Justice Calvert-Smith, said: “These were, as you realised, substantial sums for people living, most likely, in basic conditions in countries like Somalia and Kenya.
“You certainly realised, in my judgment, that some of it would be used either directly or indirectly to help to resource acts of terrorism.”
‘Somali Three’
Hussain confessed to seven counts of fundraising for terrorists.
In total he donated £9,114 which went to Muhammed Jahangir, Tufual Ahmed, and Mohammed Shahim, known as “The Somali Three”.
At a previous hearing, prosecutor Sarah Whitehouse described Hussain’s home as “practically dripping” with extremist material.
The hoard included 26 speeches by extremist preacher Abu Hamza, the court heard.

Failed PM To Sign Us Up With The OIC.
Media Release from the Q Society:
Australians to be healed from ‘Islamophobia’ by head of global Islamic organisation
Sunday, February 12, 2012 – Q Society of Australia Inc.This week Foreign Minister Kevin Rudd has invited Professor Ekmelledin Ihsanoglu[sic], the Secretary General of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), to discuss “Transition and Change: The OIC and the Islamic World”
Events take place on February 15th and 16th at the National Press Club of Australia and at Griffith University, Brisbane. Following similar events in Europe and Washington, Mr Rudd’s visitor is here to educate and help us overcome “Islamophobia” in Australia.
The OIC, which represents 56 Islamic states, makes up the largest voting bloc of the UN.
United in their effort to limit critical discussion of the Islamic religion and sharia law, these countries refuse to sign the UN’s Universal Declaration of Human Rights. OIC members construed the ‘Cairo Declaration’, in which human rights are subject to interpretation by Islamic clergy and sharia law. The OIC is headquartered in Saudi Arabia, a feudal monarchy renown for violation of basic human rights under strict sharia law.
The feigned concern of the OIC with discrimination against Islam and more notably views not supportive of Islam is in contrast to the violent intolerance experienced by non-Muslim minorities in many Islamic countries. Indigenous religious minorities, which are not afforded the same respect, recognition or equality demanded by the OIC for Muslim immigrants in the West.
Author and human rights activist Ayan Hirsi Ali ‘s recent article ‘The Global War on Christians in the Muslim World’ highlights “… an unrecognised battle costing thousands of lives.” With these facts in mind, there are serious questions democratic governments should be asking the OIC, before taking advice from Professor Ihsanoglu.
Q Society appeals to Mr Rudd to show courage and openly address this discrepancy and the discrimination against non-Muslims, evident in almost every OIC country.
Vilifying critics of Islam and sharia practices as ‘islamophobic’ is in fact aiding and abetting those who seek to silence the debate about the rise of Islamic sharia, both in the West and in the once secular countries of the OIC.
Kevin Rudd, our erstwhile Prime Minister and current Foreign Minister, has a bit of a reputation as a grandstander. The current view is that he’s bucking for a seat with the UN (Security Council, no less – even temporary is good to this fellow), and a part of his sleazing towards that goal is sucking up to the OIC.
He’s given a lot of money to help the less fortunate in countries other than Oz, which you’d expect as Foreign Minister. But…
Video on Chechen car bomber/arsonist in LA
Let’s see, born in Chechnya, yelled anti American slogans, indifferent in court, I wonder what possible motive he could have for his arson attack in Los Angeles. Yeah he may be autistic or any other number of DSM IV diagnosis, but I know quite a few autistic and Aspergers syndrome people and none of them hate Americans or want to set cars on fire on or around New Years or ever.
But yeah I think there is some cultural or belief system motivator here, can’t quite put my finger on it though.
Here are a couple of articles where they desperately try and deflect from any actual motive.
