Pakistan election on May 11. Youth favour the tards or the military over democracy.
The irony here is, that military rule in Pakistan is actually closer to democracy than rule by elected representatives.

Turkey: Work commences on ‘Erdogan the Magnificent’ mosque
ANSA:
On hill over the Bosphorus, highest minarets in the world
03 April, 19:56
(ANSAmed) – ANKARA, APRIL 3 – Polemics, accusations, and sarcasm have failed to put a damper on Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s plans to build an enormous mosque towering over the Bosphorus.
The mosque will be gigantic, covering a surface area of some 15,000 square meters on the Camlica hill on Istanbul’s Asian side, with another 250,000 square meters housing a park, museum, bar, restaurants, amusement park, and a terrace with a breathtaking view over the Bosphorus and Byzantine and Muslim Istanbul. Erdogan had announced the project a year ago, saying that the ”enormous” mosque would be ”visible from anywhere in the city” with ”the highest minarets in the world”.
In the eyes of opposition secularist Turks, Erdogan – who is referred to as ‘the new sultan’ by many – would like to leave his mark on the city in the tradition of the caliphs of the past. His mosque will be endowed with six minarets instead of two, a distinction of which thus far only Istanbul’s famous Blue Mosque can boast.
”There are many places in Istanbul where a mosque could be built, but they want to send a message,” Hurriyet was told by the opposition Republican People’s Party (CHP) MP Mehmet Ali Ediboglu. ”The message is that they want to build an Islamic republic in the place of the secular system. That’s what they are doing, step by step”. Erdogan’s Turkey cannot be said to be lacking in mosques.
Egyptian TV satirist released after questioning
Yesterday it was posted here that this particular TV satirist and heart surgeon had turned himself in to police who wanted him for daring to speak negatively about Islam and the government, which I am quite certain sees itself as religion.
As a celebrity in a volatile nation they seem to give him better treatment than they do for ordinary citizens they see as not quite so sympathetic to the regime. Even so, this person deserves major kudos for bravery. He could be a game changer. Both as a popular TV host or as a heart surgeon this person could have a pretty amazing life anywhere he chose to live. The fact that he is taking this risk to take on this horrifying and totalitarian regime for the sake of his country shows a great deal of character.

CAIRO (AP) — Egypt’s most popular television satirist, who every week skewers the Islamist president and hard-line clerics on his Jon Stewart-style show, was released on bail Sunday but could face charges of insulting the country’s leader and Islam.
Bassem Youssef is the most prominent critic of President Mohammed Morsi to be called in for questioning in recent weeks, in what the opposition says is a campaign to intimidate critics amid wave after wave of political unrest in deeply polarized Egypt.
Arrest warrants have been issued for five prominent anti-government activists accused of instigating violence.
Egyptian TV satirist turns himself in to police
The international community should be watching this extremely closely. This is a major event and has the potential to be a global awakening at least to who the Ikhwan is, if not Islam overall.
I certainly hope regular reports come in on the fate of this TV host.
France24:
Popular television satirist Bassem Youssef turned himself over to prosecutors on Sunday after an arrest warrant was issued against him for allegedly insulting Islam, the country’s leader Mohamed Morsi and the ruling Muslim Brotherhood party.
Prosecutors in Egypt were questioning popular satirist Bassem Youssef on Sunday over alleged insults to the president and to religion, reigniting calls for freedom of expression in post-revolt Egypt.
Youssef, whose weekly programme Albernameg (The Show) has pushed the boundaries of local television with its merciless critique of those in power, continued to challenge the authorities even as he arrived at the prosecutor’s office.
Atheist gatecrashers mull Easter march
I wonder if large numbers of Catholics will stage a massive disruptive demonstration during the Atheist annual, ‘You are all full of crap parade’ they hold in Oslo at the peak of the summer solstice.
Actually wait the Muslims do actually do something kinda like that.

A group of atheists from Madrid are looking at throwing a spanner in the works of the capital’s Easter celebrations by staging their own march on Thursday despite an official ban on the event.
- Top ten offbeat Spanish Easter destinations (20 Mar 13)
Madrid’s Association of Atheists and Freethinkers (AMAL) is considering defying a local government ban by marching through the streets of central Madrid on Thursday, or Jueves Santo (Holy Thursday) as the day is known in Spain.
The group says this is not an atheist march but rather a demonstration against the economic privileges enjoyed by Spain’s Catholic Church.
According to AMAL, they are protesting about a situation where the country´s Catholic Church continues to be subsidized to the tune of €11 billion a year despite massive cuts in education and health.
But Madrid’s local government has banned the demonstration on security grounds, Spanish news agency EFE reported on Wednesday.
Madrid local MP Cristina Cifuentes said recently that the atheist march couldn’t go ahead because it could cause “public disorder”.
The politician also argued that AMAL’s request to be allowed to hold a demonstration had arrived too late.
Friday sees Brotherhood offices under attack across Egypt
Magic Martin has sent a series of articles and videos on the Across-Egypt attacks on Ikhwan (Muslim Brotherhood offices).
This is quite a significant event. Lets hope they can keep the pressure up.

In Cairo, Alexandria, Mansoura, Mahalla, and Zagazig, Muslim Brotherhood buildings were attacked, in a day of protests against the group

Protests against the Muslim Brotherhood, from which President Mohamed Morsi hails, sparked violence in a number of cities across the country on Friday.
The Brotherhood’s main headquarters in the Cairo district of Mokattam was the epicentre of events, and the area surrounding the premises saw prolonged violence between anti-Brotherhood protests and members of the Islamist group. Police repeatedly tried to disperse the crowd with teargas.
Mahalla:
Wow I so don’t get the one below. Huge banners of a beard face. No idea who yet.
The google translation for it is: “7 surveillance video scenes of lynching and bullets and blood at the foot of the Mokattam”
Then
At 2:20 in the video below, it would appear that a person standing in the streets is shot dead.

Turkish Astrophysicist Faces Prison for Objecting to Headscarves

Live Leak
Islamofascism in Turkey
Before islamic AKP government, wearing headscarves used to be banned at schools, universities and other official buildings in Turkey. And according to the decisions of courts , including the supreme court, Turkey is a secular country and nobody can wear a headscarf or other religios symbols in official buildings. But AKP governmet changed the law, and the judges of course, to remove headscarf ban.
In fact this was not a simple change in law, it was a islamic revolution. Therefore, islamist and jihadist AKP government and the judges and proscuters assigned by AKP started to punish secular people for spreading islamisation process.
And this secular professor was one of them. If you shoot and hurt somebody or if you steal something, the maximum sentence is usually not more than 2 years in Turkey. BUT, if you obey the supreme court decisions and do not let headscarfed girls enter a university, the punishment is 2 and half a year in prison.
According to the criminal code of Turkey, sentences more than 2 years can not be suspended. Because of this fact, the professor will be imprisoned soon…

Education in Egypt, Shariah Style—Islamic Teachers Beat Children
Canada Free Press:
Guest Column Cynthia Yacowar-Sweeney
The harder the OIC pushes for a worldwide caliphate governed by Shariah, the more we will see Shariah creep into the West. Where there is Shariah, there is violation of human rights
Why is it that we so often hear of Muslim children being subjected to severe physical abuse in Madrassahs or Islamic educational institutions, in Islamic countries and here in the West? Instead of receiving bad marks on their school papers for alleged poor academic performance, these children are instead receiving bad marks on their frail little bodies from their teachers, sometimes to the point of death.
Here’s why. Hitting children is religiously mandated in Islam and is often quite severe. According to the following Hadith on prayer (Abu-Dawud): ”The Prophet said: ‘Command your children to pray when they reach the age of seven and hit them if they if they do not do so by the age of ten…’ “
Similarly, in the Umdat al-Salik or Reliance of the Traveller —a 14th century manual of Islamic law certified in 1991 as a reliable guide to Sunni Islam by Cairo’s al-Azhar University, Egypt’s highest religious authority—we find the following: “F1.2—When a child with discrimination (O: meaning he can eat, drink, and clean himself after using the toilet unassisted) is seven years of age, he is ordered to perform the prayer, and when ten, is beaten for neglecting it (N: not severely, but so as to discipline the child, and not more than three blows).”
Funny and yet, not so funny argument between secular Arab and religious Muslim on sharia law
H/T The Observer. While funny at first blush this is worth taking very seriously. He, the Muslim, is speaking quite genuinely from the perspective of a group of people that whether we accept they are our enemy or not, they are avowed to destroy everything about our culture, history, systems of thought and social interactions. These in fact, are the conservatives the more classical left warned everyone about and the ones the new left is now in bed with to the extent that it is hard to tell them apart.

Egypt Introduces Saudi-style Islamic Moral Police Force
IB Times:
By Vasudevan Sridharan
Egypt has quietly introduced a Saudi-style Islamic religious police force in order to implement the moral principles of Islam using “non-violent methods”.
The Committee for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice, an informal group, made the announcement at a press conference in Cairo.
“We have absolutely no relationship with the ‘morality’ committees in Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, Somalia or Nigeria. We will only offer advice to those who want to listen. We shall have no business with people who refuse to listen to us,” said the committee’s founder, Hisham el-Ashri.
The committee says it will not interfere with the work of the state’s security forces and has issued assurances that it will not target nightclubs.
Nonetheless, el-Ashri said: “If a drunken customer comes out of a nightclub, we would prevent him from driving until the police arrive, so he won’t hurt himself or others.”
