Round 'em up...al Qaeda's latest

Indonesia: 2 JI suspects arrested on suspicion of involvement in the beheading of 3 Christian schoolgirls were on their way to Syria to meet with "an international terrorist network" when arrested in Malaysia, according to the Indonesian police. The police said they "are not sure what group they are referring to," O-kay. Three guesses and the first two don't count...oh, and did I mention yesterday that one of these dirtbags was a medical doctor? More of his fine healing handiwork can be seen in the photo - left.

Somali Pirates transported to Paris for questioning, possible trial. (Unless they just decide to offer them asylum and a cushy life on the dole like the UK) Six Somalis accused of taking a luxury yacht's crew hostage have arrived in Paris on a military plane to face questioning, judicial sources said.

Maliki confident of defeating al Qaeda. "We are more confident than ever that we are close to a definitive victory over Al-Qaeda and its lawless allies." Maliki said the jihadist movement was in a state of "total isolation" in Iraq and was seeking "refuge beyond the borders" in neighbouring nations, which he urged to do everything possible to stop them from infiltrating. Hey Pipsqueak, you got that?

Violence and political tensions spoil this year's kite-flying event
Lahore: Pakistan's political turmoil and violence have claimed a high-profile cultural victim - a centuries-old kite-flying festival that draws thousands of visitors. The Basant festival brings a springtime buzz to eastern Pakistan and its regional capital, Lahore. Officials usually relax a ban on the pastime - imposed to prevent abandoned strings that are often covered with crushed glass from slitting people's throats.

About 175 terror groups in India. The surprise on the list? Dukhtaran-e-Millat, an all-women organisation that exerts community pressures to further social norms dictated by Islamic fundamental groups. Old news - but just for the record. 30 active terror plots inside Britain: minister
British police and security agencies are monitoring 30 terror plots, Home Secretary Jacqui Smith told a tabloid on Sunday.“There are 22,000 individuals who are being monitored. There are 200 networks involved and 30 active plots,” Smith said in an interview with the News of the World.“We now face a threat level that is severe. It’s actually growing,” she said.

Afghanistan: Child brides - their religion has nothing to do with it...

Gee, Officer Krupke. They're depraved on account of being deprived. I agree this is part of the equation - however the Beeb completely ignores the role of the Moslem religion and Afghan government in sanctioning these marriages.

A midwife in the village of Khordakhan, Hanufa Mah, agrees that alleviating poverty is key. She says she tries to teach parents not to marry their girls too young but some feel they have no choice. One girl she helped through labour was only 10 years old.

"The girl was so small. I held her in my lap until the child was born," she says.

The Persian Pipsqueak speaks about 9/11

He says: 3000 killed whose names were never published - who were they?

Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Wednesday reaffirmed his doubts about the accepted version of the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States, describing the strikes as a "suspect event".

"Four or five years ago a suspect event took place in New York," Ahmadinejad said in a speech to a public rally in the holy city of Qom broadcast live on state television.

"A building collapsed and they said that 3,000 people had been killed, whose names were never published."Here is the beginning of my post.

This is the third time in a week that he has raised the issue - trying to take the focus off the Pope's visit to Ground Zero?

Austrian Hostage negotiator killed in Mali border region

Death brings negotiations to an impasse.

No word on who killed the negotiator. Anyone care to hazard a guess?

A mediator involved in negotiations to free two Austrian tourists kidnapped by an al-Qaeda affiliate in Tunisia is believed to have been killed. According to an Algerian source quoted in the Arab daily, al-Sharq al-Awsat, the Tuareg mediator was murdered in a region on the border of Mali and Algeria. His death has reportedly brought a stalemate in negotiations between Austrian authorities and representatives of Abdel Hamid Abu Zayd, local head of the Al-Qaeda Organisation in the Islamic Maghreb.

Yemen terminates 8 year old girl's marriage to abusive dirtbag

Not because it's wrong or anything like that.

No, it's just because she hasn't reached puberty. If she was 12 and had her period it would be okay, I guess. The child bride gets $250 dollars in compensation for her trouble. I'm wondering if the person who volunteered to pay the compensation was the Imam that married them in the first place? Moslem. What can I say? (Reuters then has the nerve to file the article under "Oddly Enough News" and call the quaint Islamic tradition of pedophilia "tribal", blaming the marriage on the poverty of the region. Please.)

Yemeni court ordered the marriage of an eight-year-old girl terminated on Tuesday because she had not reached puberty. The court also ordered the child's family to pay about $250 in compensation to the 30-year-old ex-husband.

The girl's lawyer and human rights activist Shatha Nasser said the minor had filed a suit in April asking for divorce and told the court that her husband had been physically abusing her and forcing her to have "sex with him after hitting her."

One of the people attending the trial volunteered to pay the compensation, the lawyer said, but did not explain the reason why the court ordered the compensation.

The ruling terminated the marriage instead of granting a divorce to prevent the husband from seeking to reinstate the marriage, according to the lawyer.

Many minor girls in Arab countries that observe tribal traditions are married to older husbands but not before puberty. Such marriages are also driven by poverty in countries like Yemen, one of the poorest countries outside Africa.

Today in al Qaeda's world.

No rest for the wicked. Another bloody day in Iraq thanks to Qaeda linked bombings. Sunni areas attacked in an attempt to weaken the resolve of the Sunnis who have joined with the Coalition. The bloodshed — in four cities as far north as Mosul and as far west as Ramadi — struck directly at U.S. claims that the Sunni insurgency is waning and being replaced by Shiite militia violence as a major threat... or so says the AP as they continue to act as al Qaeda in Iraq's secondary propaganda arm. Meanwhile, AQ in Iraq's main propaganda arm has been getting busy issuing calls from Baghdad Bob's imaginary brother, Omar al-Baghdadi for the Sunnis to join with al Qaeda and fight the Evil Shatan. They better find somebody to help them out! Because the Evil Shatan is systematically kicking their behind: Coalition forces detain 18 suspected al Qaeda in Iraq.

Jihad Italian Style: Al Qaeda announced the opening of a web site in Italian aimed at recruiting new members. Postal police is looking into the matter. Investigators say that "At the moment it has only been announced, but we have found no trace of a new Italian website on the internet. We are looking for it and in the event that we find it we will monitor access to blogs and will adopt relative measures in the event of any breach of law". Al Qaeda's decision to open a new website follows the shutdown, on Fabruary 22, of the blog run by Carmagnola's imam Abdul Qadir Fadlallah Mamour. Paging Jawa! Paging Jawa! Clean up on Aisle Italia. More detail can be found here.

Speaking of Italia - May Allah curse Berlusconi urges Qaeda linked website. A jihadist message posted to an al-Qaeda linked website urges Allah to "curse" Italy's prime minister-elect, billionaire media tycoon Silvio Berlusconi, and also Pope Benedict XVI."May Allah curse and unleash his wrath on him [Berlusconi], and the evil Pope," read the message, which recently appeared on one of the main jihadist websites, the al-Qaeda linked Al-Hesbah.The message was signed by 'al-Wahabi'. See photo left for Berlusconi's reply.




Two Jemaah Islamyiah members are arrested in Malaysia.

And one of them has admitted to the beheading of three Christian school girls walking home from school.

It would be nice to hear some moderate Moslems speak out about this...maybe even the Pope. AND yes, that is one of the girls brutally beheaded by what I can only describe as savages.




Prison Riots in Jordan after attempt made to separate al Qaeda prisoners from general population. Al-Khatib said the trouble in Swaqa, the largest of Jordan's 10 prisons, was in solidarity with riots at another Jordanian jail, the Muwaqqar Penitentiary, where three inmates were killed in rioting involving scores of prisoners who were objecting to separating Al Qaeda-linked militants from other convicts. Police said Muwaqqar rioting began when wardens tried to move some non-militant inmates to other sections of the desert prison, or to other detention facilities in line with a police regulation introduced last week. The decision calls for separating convicts from detainees who are still on trial. It also divides inmates according to age, physical build, conviction and sentence length.

Heavy security as Pakistan welcomes Olympic torch - due to al Qaeda this time. Pakistani authorities also slashed the torch's route at the last minute, citing security fears sparked by an unprecedented wave of Al-Qaeda and Taliban suicide bombings that has killed 1,000 people in the past year.

Iran denounces "Google Plot" forging name of Persian Gulf.

This is an old story that seems to be getting new life thanks to Google and the deliberate staging of another Iranian hissy fit. Back in 2004, National Geographic was forced to remove the term “Arabian Gulf”, which appeared under the name “Persian Gulf” in the eighth addition of Atlas of the World in 2004, after facing millions of protests from Iranians all over the world. (I sincerely question that millions number.)

Well, now they're taking on the dastardly Google plot.

The Islamic Iran Participation Party expressed hope that Google Earth will revise its “questionable disregard of historic, political, and international documents and the United Nations directives on the name ‘Persian Gulf’” Earlier, the National Iranian American Council (NIAC) in a letter to the CEO of Google Inc. Eric Schmidt protested against “any misuse of accepted and accurate references” to the Persian Gulf. “Several legal documents from the United Nations as well as the United States Board of Geographic Names confirm the legitimacy of the term (Persian Gulf), as do centuries of classical history, including a reference to the body of water by Greek geographer and astronomer Ptolemy as the Aquarius Persico.” “The Persian Gulf has been known and recognized as such for more than 2,500 years. Agreement on this matter has been solidified by the signatures of all six bordering Arab countries on United Nations directives declaring this body of water to be the Persian Gulf,”...

Eric Schmidt has yet to reply.

Seven Historic Synagogues destroyed in Tehran

Progress or a systematic program of erasing Jews from the landscape?

Seven ancient synagogues in the Iranian capital, Tehran, have been destroyed by local authorities. The synagogues were in the Oudlajan suburb of Tehran, where many Iranian Jews used to live. "These buildings, which were part of our cultural, artistic and architectural heritage were burnt to the ground," said Ahmad Mohit Tabatabaii, the director of the International Council of Museums’ (ICOM) office in Tehran. "With the excuse of renovating this ancient quarter, they are erasing a part of our history," said Tabatabaii. He called for the government to intervene to stop the work commissioned by the local authorities. A group of residents of Oudjalan have also sent a letter to the mayor of Tehran asking him to suspend the renovation work being carried out in the suburb.

Somali teachers killed because they were Christian

Daud Hassan Ali and his wife Margaret.

Remember this from yesterday? Well, it looks like they weren't killed for teaching girls (although that very well may have been in the plan.)

Islamists killed my husband because he converted to Christianity.

A British teacher killed in Somalia was targeted because he had converted from Islam to Christianity, his widow claimed yesterday. Daud Hassan Ali, 64, was shot in the early hours of Monday outside a school his charity had just finished building.

A British colleague, Rehana Ahmed, 33, and two Kenyan teachers were also killed in the attack on Hiran English School, in Beled-Weyne, central Somalia, about 190 miles north-west of the capital, Mogadishu. All four were reportedly shot in the head.

The Islamist al-Shabab Movement, the armed youth-wing of the Council of Islamic Courts movement, has admitted attacking the town, but it has not accepted responsibility for the killings.

Mr Ali's widow, Margaret, 64, said her husband had been targeted by Islamists who, she said, "believe it is OK to kill any man who was born into Islam and left the faith". She said her husband knew it was a risk going back to Somalia as a Christian, but said he was there to teach, not convert others to his faith. "He was a teacher. He never made any attempt to convert anyone to Christianity, and only practised his faith in private," she said. "I just hope they died quickly and didn't suffer too much. But I hear their bodies are riddled with bullet holes."

Mr Ali kept a blog on the development of the school and had detailed his fears about night-time raids by militants.

Ahh - there is no compulsion in Islam. Got that?

Bin Laden Jr. Desperate to stay in the UK

Vow to do whatever it takes - will go to the EU Court of Human Rights if the UK turns them down.

This morning Zaina Al Sabah Bin Laden, who used to be known as Jane Felixe-Browne, told GMTV that Omar had passed all the necessary immigration tests. However, the couple were "99%" sure his application would be rejected because of his father.

Speaking from Paris, and wearing matching tan leather jackets, she said: "We applied before Christmas and we don't know if we have been refused. "It has taken this long and there's no definite answer and no real refusal. We think 99% that it is going to be a refusal though there has been no official letter."

Saying they were desperate to come home, Mrs Bin Laden, a former parish councillor, said: "We already have an MEP working with us and an immigration lawyer."

If we get a clear refusal we are going to go to appeal and if that's refused we will go to the (European) Court of Human Rights because there's no reason he shouldn't be allowed into the country." She added: "He has never done anything wrong. We will go to the top and eventually get into Britain."

I don't think it will go that far, my bet is that the UK will accept his application.

Sex padlocks for Indonesian masseuses

The Imam in charge of the town's public order authority likes the idea

At least one parlor in the tourist town of Batu on Java island has required its masseuses to padlock their skirts or trousers to make it clear that the establishment does not tolerate prostitution. Others in the town started following suit after local officials suggested it was a good idea at a recent meeting with parlor owners. TV footage and photos have shown several masseuses with small padlocks in the zip of their pants or skirts in recent days.

'The padlocking phenomena has been seen at various parlors and it is something we like,' said Imam Suryono, the head of the town's public order authority. He denied media reports that he had formally ordered them to wear padlocks.

Sacre bleu! Brigitte Bardot on trial for racial slur against Moslems

It's her fifth time, God love her.

Her beef with the Moslems? Animal cruelty, possums. That's right, she is not happy because they don't make the goats dizzy before they sacrifice them. No mention of her feelings regarding their pre-coital treatment. (That is a total joke, my Sons of Allah. Not for one single minute do I believe that bestiality is the sixth pillar of Islam or anything like that. Heck no!)

A Paris prosecutor on Tuesday called for former French actress Brigitte Bardot to pay a 15,000-euro (23,000-dollar) fine and be given a suspended two-month prison sentence, for inciting hatred against Muslims.

In December 2006, the former sex symbol wrote a letter to France's then interior minister, Nicolas Sarkozy, claiming Muslims should make animals dizzy before sacrificing them at the Aid al-Kabir holiday. She outraged French anti-racist groups by saying "I've had enough. These people have been dragging us by our noses, destroying us and our country by imposing their ways".

Bardot, now 73 and suffering from arthritis, was absent from Tuesday's court hearing. Instead she wrote to the court saying, "I'm sickened by how these organisations are harassing me." She added: "I will not shut up as long as no blackouts are carried out" on animals before they are ritually killed. Bardot, who has been an animal rights activist for 20 years, has a string of similar convictions. In 2004 a Paris court fined her 5,000 euros for inciting racial hatred in her book "Un Cri Dans le Silence" (A Cry in the Silence).

Somalia: Four teachers killed by Islamists

British teacher among four killed by Islamists.

What do you want to bet it has something to do with teaching girls? (Although it could also just be because there were infidels in their midst - hard to tell these days with the Religion of Peace.) 15 men with machine guns stormed the house where they were staying, dragged them out, abducted them and then shot them in cold blood. Witnesses said the Islamist fighters did not meet any resistance from government troops because they abandoned the town when the Islamists stormed it.

A British school teacher, her two female Kenyan colleagues and a Somali headmaster were killed in an overnight attack in central Somalia blamed on Islamist insurgents, witnesses said Monday.

The four were killed when suspected rebels attacked and briefly took control of Beledweyne, the capital of Somalia's Hiraan region located about 300 kilometres (187 miles) north of the capital Mogadishu.


In an unrelated attack, Islamists threw a hand grenade into a crowded cinema also killing four. (They were watching a Bollywood film.)

Thousand Island Dressing has Islamists all a twitter

Allah salad bar! The Palestine 48 Website calls on Israeli Arabs to avoid salad dressing after consumer discovers it contains alcohol. (hat tip: The Religion of Peace: and a big stack of dead bodies.)

A website affiliated with the northern branch of Israel's Islamic Movement warned its readers to avoid a brand of Thousand Island dressing produced by a well-known Israeli company. The warning was issued after a local Arab discovered that the dressing contains alcohol.

"I was invited to dinner by a friend and discovered appetizing salads," Khatib recounted. "I asked my friend what he used to make the salad and he told me about the dressing and said it is sold in stores. When I returned home with my wife I checked the dressing's ingredients and was stunned (!) to discover that it contains alcohol, without directing people's attention or warning them."

Khatib noted that he approached a senior figure in the manufacturer's marketing department and was told that the company did not mislead anyone, as the ingredients were clearly noted on the packaging. The senior figure reportedly told Khatib that anyone can decide whether he wishes to use the dressing. (hah-hah. In other words, grow up little moslem.)

I guess he didn't get the fatwa email that says he can have 0.5% alcohol. Oh, and if he doesn't know it doesn't have alcohol and drinks it - it doesn't count because he didn't know. Got that? Alcohol Fatwa stirs controversy.

Hallelujah - CBS Journo kidnapped in Iraq found

This is a great news. Man, I never thought we'd see this guy again.

Iraqi forces storm hideout and free Richard Butler, CBS Journalist.

A British photojournalist kidnapped two months ago in Basra was set free today in a dramatic rescue by Iraqi soldiers who stormed a house where he was being held captive with a hood over his head.

Richard Butler, who appeared to be in good health, thanked his rescuers and said that he was looking forward to seeing his family and friends.

"The Iraqi army stormed the house and overcame my guards and then burst through the door,” Mr Butler told Iraqi state television.

“I had my hood on which I had to have on all the time, and they shouted something at me and I pulled my hood off."

He was found in Basra...

An Iraqi Defence Ministry spokesman described how soldiers from the 14th division of the Iraqi army targeted a suspect house at about midday as part of a series of operations that are taking place across the city.

“They were confronted by heavy fire,” said Major-General Mohammed al-Askari. “The group was organised and the confrontation went for about 30 minutes,” he told The Times by phone from Basra.

One man was arrested, while another was wounded in the exchange. He was evacuated by the rest of the group, which fled the scene in a vehicle.

“Then the troops went into the house and found the British journalist inside and rescued him,” Major-General Askari added.

The house was in the area of Jubayla, about five kilometres from Basra city centre.

Thanking God for answered prayers.

More on Le Ponant. The cruise company paid the ransom

More details begin to trickle in.
(And I still love the thought of the pirate's getting the ransom money and then getting swooped down upon by the French military. Well done, I say.)

Gen. Jean-Louis Georgelin, the chief of staff of France's armed forces, said the pirates released the hostages Friday after negotiations with the owners. That phase of the operation was calm, with no weapons fired and the hostages brought smoothly to safety, the general said.

The pirates "gave themselves up without too much difficulty," he said.

"Naturally," he added, "absolutely no public money was paid in this affair. … Check with the ship owner. In capturing the pirates, we also recovered some interesting bags. ... We recovered part of the ransom that was probably paid."

So it appears that the ship's crew members owe their freedom not to swashbuckling French commandos swinging from ropes onto the desk of the distressed boat, but instead to the strength of whomever lifted those bags of money and delivered them to the pirates...

Jean-Emmanuel Sauvee, chief of the company that owns the ship, the French charter company CMA-CGM, declined to confirm a ransom, but said, "It's obviously a very delicate and difficult context, and so the only thing you should take from this is the outcome -- crew members who are going to be able to go home to their families."

Karim Meghoufel, the brother-in-law of a pastry chef onboard the boat, said, "We don't know how much they paid, and, in any case, we don't want to know".

The pirates themselves were captured after they had released their hostages. A French helicopter gunship reportedly swooped down on one of their escape cars and opened fire. Conflicting reports about possible deaths or injuries during that confrontation were not immediately resolved.

One thing is clear: The Somali pirates did not have the luck or guile of movie pirate Capt. Jack Sparrow, of "Pirates of the Caribbean." But it appears they had Capt. Jack's' naïvete. They hit the ship as it was returning without passengers from the Seychelles, in the Indian Ocean, toward the sea. The ship can accommodate 64 passengers, in addition to the crew, and that kind of payload could have been a pirate's dream.

The Somali bandits also may have been naïve to believe that it was all over when they got their bags of loot and allowed the crew to go free. There may be honor among enemies at sea in the movie world, but the French military was not about to give these bandits a pass.

I can honestly say that I am looking forward to the Pope's visit

And I pray that he will be safe while he is here.

The pope is "very calm before this trip," Tarcisio Bertone, the Vatican secretary of state and Benedict's top aide, said on Vatican Radio when asked about the risk of a terrorist attack. The head of the Roman Catholic Church arrives in Washington on Tuesday for a five-day visit that will also take in New York.

"Do you remember his trip to Turkey? There were threats before and during (the trip)," said Bertone. "This time around there have been threats too, no doubt," he added but did not elaborate. "We have trust in the protection that the (US) government will put in place wherever the Holy Father will pass, as happened in Turkey," during his visit in late 2006, he said.

You have to wonder - especially when you see what the Religion of Peaceniks REALLY thinks about the Pope:









More on his schedule and the full text of his Ground Zero prayer can be found beneath the fold.
This time the pontiff is to attend a reception at the White House on Wednesday and scheduled to address the United Nations General Assembly on Friday.

Other events on the schedule include a visit to Ground Zero, the site of the September 11 attacks in New York, a meeting with Jewish leaders in Washington and a short stop at a synagogue in New York.

But it is his two showpiece events at baseball stadiums in Washington on Thursday and in New York on April 20 that are causing the biggest security challenge.

Access to the pope's appearance at New York's Yankee Stadium, where he is to celebrate mass on April 20, is being strictly controlled with the help of bar-coded, non-transferable tickets and hours-long security procedures.

Federal agents were carrying out background checks on everyone attending the New York event, who were being asked to arrive at their parishes six hours before the service to allow enough time for security, according to reports.

The text of the Pope's Ground Zero prayer:

God of love, compassion, and healing, look on us, people of many different faiths
and traditions, who gather today at this site, the scene of incredible violence and pain.

We ask you in your goodness to give eternal light and peace to all who died here—
the heroic first-responders: our fire fighters, police officers, emergency service workers, and Port Authority personnel, along with all the innocent men and women who were victims of this tragedy simply because their work or service brought them here on September 11, 2001.

We ask you, in your compassion to bring healing to those who, because of their presence here that day, suffer from injuries and illness.

Heal, too, the pain of still-grieving families and all who lost loved ones in this tragedy. Give them strength to continue their lives with courage and hope.

We are mindful as well of those who suffered death, injury, and loss on the same day at the Pentagon and in Shanksville, Pennsylvania.

Our hearts are one with theirs as our prayer embraces their pain and suffering.

God of peace, bring your peace to our violent world: peace in the hearts of all men and women and peace among the nations of the earth.

Turn to your way of love those whose hearts and minds are consumed with hatred.
God of understanding, overwhelmed by the magnitude of this tragedy, we seek your light and guidance as we confront such terrible events.

Grant that those whose lives were spared may live so that the lives lost here may not have been lost in vain.

Comfort and console us, strengthen us in hope, and give us the wisdom and courage to work tirelessly for a world where true peace and love reign among nations and in the hearts of all.

Al Qaeda - still spanning the globe

19 al Qaeda get slapped on the wrist in Tunisia. (What do you want to bet that this will be the next headline you read on these scumbags: 19 al Qaeda prisoners escape Tunisian jail)

A Tunisian court has jailed 19 men for up to eight years for having links to al Qaeda's North Africa wing, a defence lawyer said on Sunday. "Tunis court judge Hedi Ayari announced the verdict to jail the 19 men between one and eight years for having links with al Qaeda and setting up a Jihadist cell," lawyer Samir Dylo Said, adding the verdict was pronounced on Saturday.

Wow. Who just woke up the LA Times? Islamic extremism returns to the Sudan.

Most alarming to Sudanese officials is that this new generation of extremists appears to be almost as hostile toward the Arab-dominated Sudanese government as they are to the West, despite Khartoum's efforts to bolster its Islamic credentials. (Mohammed the Moslem Bear, anyone?) It's interesting to note that not only is al Qaeda spanning the globe so are clueless moonbats. It's a steady chorus from the Sudanese moonbats with their deny, deny, deny, and calling the terrorists "al Qaeda wanna-bes" and "really just lads" and "we don't have that brand of Islam here." I wonder what brand of Islam this is?

Dude looks like a lady - Moslem style. In Mauritania, one of the al Qaeda terrorists suspected of killing four French tourists during their roadside picnic on December 24 was captured. The big, tough, mujahideen was dressed as a woman and was carrying a weapon under his dress. He was wearing habaya (abaya)the black robes favored by some strict Muslim women that cover the head and entire body with only a small hole for eyes. And may I say I'm glad they got his a$$. (You can see some video from the takedown here.)


The Chinese are raiding Uyghur homes in the "restive province" of Xinjiang. Explosives found. Arrests made. How are Moslems treated by the Chinese? According to U.S.-based Human Rights Watch says authorities in Xinjiang maintain “a multi-tiered system of surveillance, control, and suppression of religious activity aimed at Xinjiang’s Uyghurs...At a more mundane and routine level, many Uyghurs experience harassment in their daily lives.”“Celebrating religious holidays, studying religious texts, or showing one’s religion through personal appearance are strictly forbidden at state schools. The Chinese government has instituted controls over who can be a cleric, what version of the Koran may be used, where religious gatherings may be held, and what may be said on religious occasions.”


Algerian Prime Minister: I'm not scared by al Qaeda assassination threats. Two attempts on his life have already been made. His message to AQ: Mr. Belkhadem has sent political messages to Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb which said it plotted assassinating Prime Minister at least twice, saying assassination threats “did not scare me.” move a hair of my head,” adding: “ages are in God’s hand.”

Oh, and about that Iranian Mosque Bombing yesterday...

It's starting to look like an inside job ... as in the explosives were being stored INSIDE the Mosque were 'mishandled' and exploded.

Now, what on earth could they be doing there, I wonder?

"The police commander said the munitions were apparently left behind after a "Sacred Defense" exhibition was held at the mosque, which also serves as a cultural center. "Sacred Defense" is a local reference to the Iran-Iraq war of the 1980s. Local militia groups -- known as Basij -- often use the mosques for meeting places."

When I went to church we had Spaghetti Suppers not 'Sacred Defense' exhibitions/ And we used to have Sunday School in our church basement, not munitions. Just saying.

So what was going on in the Mosque when the 'explosives were mishandled'? Well, it sounds like a real hootenanny of Islamohate:

800 people, mostly young, were gathered at the mosque Saturday to hear a prominent local cleric's sermon denouncing Baha'i and Wahhabi faiths -- both of which are considered heretical by some Shiites.

It is important to note that no one has taken responsibility for the explosion.

The Halal Inn: A pub whose time has come in the UK

Britain's first alcohol-free Islamopub opens in England.

"More and more pubs are closing down across the country, and we believe turning them into Islamic pubs could be a success anywhere that has a large Muslim community."

No booze, no televisions. No ban on women customers, but they sure looked thin on the ground in the article's pictures...not too many "typical white persons" there, either. And I bet it's a real blast come prayer time. The thought of everybody stepping back from the snooker table and hitting the floor, then sticking their butts up in the air sure sounds like a lot of fun to me.

Unfortunately, it also just sounds like more segrgation for that 'super special class of citizen' to me.

It is said that many a truth is said in jest and if that's the case they're speaking truth to power in the comments section:

From Clive in Suffolk: "I'll open the KosherBar next door, that should be fun!"

From Peterr in London: "I expect that someone will soon open a butchers that doesn't sell meat. This country is a big joke."

From Norman in Norwich: "Whilst law after law is passed forcing integration and acceptance of ethnic religions and cultures there seems no effort at all from ethnic populations to accept the British way of life."

From TB in Nottingham: "How many non Muslims will be employed, or will the race relations board turn a blind eye again?"

From The Gene Genie of Croydon: "In fifty years' time this will be the norm."

Don't get the wrong idea, like the notion of a Moslem pub, the comments aren't all a laugh riot. No, there are a ton of comments where moonbat and moslems alike express their excitement about the venture.

So, is this how we'll travel down the road to dhimmitude? Inch by inch. Piece by piece. Creeping Islam - coming to a neighborhood near you?
