Eyes on “secular” Turkey:”
“We are all defenders of the secular state,” says Turkish PM as he moves against headscarf ban

Alarm in Turkey over violence against Christians
A spate of recent attacks has highlighted the threat religious minorities face, mostly from marginal ultranationalist groups.
By Ayhan Simsek for Southeast European Times
* This is -of course- absolute bullshit. These groups are not ‘ultranationalist’- they are simply good, believing Muhammedans who kill unbelievers because they are UNBELIEVERS… That’s what Muslims do…
The EU has faulted Turkey for not providing adequate protection to Christians and other minorities.
* Did they really? We haven’t heard much about their indignation, have we?

Adriano Franchini, a 65-year old Catholic priest, had just celebrated Sunday Mass at Izmir’s St. Anthony Church when a teenager scumbag approached him, expressing faked an interest in converting to Christianity. As the priest spoke with him, the young man — actually a fervent nationalist --brainwashed soldier of Allah,- flew into a rage and stabbed him in the stomach.
Franchini survived. But three Protestant missionaries targeted in an attack earlier in the year were less fortunate. They were tortured for hours before being killed by a group of young men jihad apes, in the eastern city of Malatya. In 2006, another Catholic priest — Andrea Santoro — was shot to death by a 16-year-old while kneeling in prayer.

Another honor killing in Jordan
Jordan quashes ‘honour crimes’ law
* This is the second honor killing in a month
Jordan’s Parliament has rejected the senate’s recommendation to uphold a law providing stiffer penalties for men who kill women in so-called “honour killings”.
“Sixty of the 85 deputies present in parliament voted to reject this temporarily because the amendments (made by the senate) were superficial and did not deal with the root of the issue,” Islamist deputy Adab Saoud told AFP.
Islamists and conservatives said the laws violated religious traditions and would destroy families and values.
Gotta uphold that honor, boys…

UK: “Corruption is okay when Arabs are involved”
UK intelligence agency urged dropping of investigation into Saudi arms deal
LONDONISTAN – Britain’s head of overseas intelligence warned that Saudi Arabia likely would stop sharing vital information on terrorism if prosecutors pursued an investigation into alleged corruption in an arms deal, lawmakers disclosed Tuesday.
* Because the Saudis are such valuable friends and allies, you see. Surely that’s worth their skimming off a bit, innit?

GRAVEYARD SHIFT FOR ISLAMIC JIHAD
A Visit to a Gaza Rocket Factory
By Ulrike Putz in the Gaza Strip
No matter what Israel does, the rockets from the Gaza Strip just keep coming. Young men like Abdul are the reason why. He studies by day, but at night he builds bombs for the Islamic Jihad. He and his fellow militants can produce up to 100 per night.

Qaradwi gets his hemorrhoids treated in the UK, after all…
Just a few questions for al-Qaradawi: First, having previously traveled to France for medical care, why is it that you find yourself dependent on the West for advanced care? Why not Riyadh? Or Cairo, Dubai, or Islamabad? Second, having defended the execution of homosexuals, suppose while you’re getting medical care in the West, a gay doctor saves your life. Would you rather he didn’t? Should he still have to die?

This wouldn’t be the same Turkey that (with Spain) called for an Alliance of Civilizations to
overcome thw widening gap between Islamic nations and the West, would it?
Well, yes. I guess the EU is expected to protect & coddle Muslims (which it does), while
Turkey & friends are free to continue to oppress minorities.
Today in jihad news the jihad officially ended when high ranking clerics said Islam was a fraud, Mo was evil and that Muslims have been duped for 1400 years. Therefore, the clerics call upon all Muslims to burn their Korans and switch to a real religion.
Now wouldn’t that be nice to read?
IFL said – … Mo was evil and that Muslims have been duped for 1400 years
The high ranking clerics would do well to study (eg) Matthew 7:15 “Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.”

‘Few’ Muslim anti-terror police
Supt Babu said there are only a handful of Muslim officers in counter-terrorism.
He now wants more so that, by reaching out to Muslim communities, hearts and minds can be won to counteract the alienation being felt by them.

Unfortunately, Jordan is just falling further and further behind. Some leadership on the dishonor killings problem is badly needed. Not lip service. . .actual leadership.
