Sky News:

(Video at source)

US special forces have aborted a mission to capture an al Shabaab leader in Somalia after coming under heavy attack.

Their target was Mukhtar Abu Zubeyr, also known as Ahmed Godane, who claimed responsibility for last month’s Nairobi shopping mall massacre that killed at least 67 people, according to a Somali intelligence official.

A Navy Seal team staged a pre-dawn raid on a house in the southern town of Barawa after swimming ashore before the al Qaeda-linked militants rose for morning prayers.

First video to come from OCSE conference. Side event on ‘Islamophobia’

Here is the first video of a series of quite a few which will come from this event over the next weeks.

This was only an audio file, so we matched speakers to the voices and named them. Notice the misdirection used to try and let the term ‘Islamophobia’ be used as an actionable term to attack legitimate critics of Islam and its dogma.

Thank you Ned, Henrik and many others who have worked hard and used lots of precious personal resources to make sure that someone countered these attempts to destroy free expression and criticism of irrational religious authority.

A more complete explanation of what this is exactly and what it means is up up at Gates now.. For anyone who wishes to hear the entire side event unabridged please click here for the complete 45 minute session. 

US constitutional lawyer, David Yerushalmi, speaks on the recent revelations on WTF formerly known as CAIR

I have had the pleasure of hearing Mr Yerushalmi. speak live at a conference in Washington in 2009. He was a bright light in that room. One of the most lucid and intelligent speakers I have ever heard. This discussion of CAIR’s activities and general behavior can be taken to the bank as factual.

Quebec and the proposed charter for secularism in Government.

Today the contents of the proposed new law for Quebec was released. The reactions have been varied with the strongest opposition coming from Canada’s federal minister of immigration, a man who has let in more Muslims to Canada than any and possibly all governments before him who stridently opposed it claiming that all religious values, customs and traditions are honored in Canada, or something similar to that.

More telling are the comments under the various articles published in national or large regional newspapers about this issue. It seems that a large majority of those that commented actually get the issue and most feel that every other benign religious group is taking the heat for Islam, which is transparently the real problem here.

I will post a few links to major dailies on this story but its worth scanning the comments under the articles as much as the articles themselves. I would not be at all surprised if Canada starts going the way of the UK and starts to force newspapers to close certain ‘sensitive’ stories to comments as it exposes and encourages Canadians who have figured out what Islam is all about and wish to express their personal disgust with it.

There will be a lot more soon. I am looking for a video from Charles Adler tonight on SUN who did a great interview (I am told) with a Quebec radio host, who spelled it out. That this really about wanting to ban face coverings. So all religions have to suffer.

Makes me wonder though. If Nazis were a problem in Quebec would they ban all political parties? If communists were destroying and undermining everything, would they ban all symbols and references to economic systems? I highly doubt it. So what is so damn special about religion? The ones that do not contradict the law you allow. The ones that do, you stomp on. It should be simple.

Please note the following correction in the translation in the text:

translation it should be “Saguenay” — but it is comprehensible – Quebeckers don’t pronounce very clearly all the time and the stress being on the last syllable, sagueNAY one can easily get confused and hear st-deNIS –
