Harvard:
“The Muhammadan war-cry is the exception to Harvard’s unspoken rule of religious tolerance and respect.”
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — Two issues of Muslim practice — whether the call to prayer should ring out across Harvard Yard and whether the university should grant women separate gym hours — have unleashed small waves of controversy over how Harvard practices tolerance.
Taha Abdul-Basser, the Muslim chaplain at Harvard, said both episodes were indicative of the growing number of Muslims in the United States.
“There are some people who are not just comfortable that Muslims, by virtue of the change of demographics, are going to become more and more visible,” he said.

Seven in French custody for suspected ties with radical Islamists
PARIS: Five suspected radical Islamists who allegedly trained for combat in hopes of joining the Iraqi insurgency were being held for questioning in southern France, police and judicial officials said Thursday.
Authorities believe they had been in contact with radical Islamists who allegedly trained to fight in Iraq by firing weapons in the woods of eastern France. Those suspects were rounded up in a November sweep.
Preliminary charges were filed against five of the November suspects for “criminal conspiracy with a terrorist organization,” a broad charge often used in terror-related cases in France. Officials said the group had not made definite travel plans for Iraq, but was training to fight there.

Germany: Not Jihad Related, (we hope!)
Woman Goes for Leg Operation, Gets New Anus Instead
A German retiree is taking a hospital to court after she went in for a leg operation and got a new anus instead, the Daily Telegraph is reporting.
The woman woke up to find she had been mixed up with another patient suffering from incontinence who was to have surgery on her sphincter.
The clinic in Hochfranken, Bavaria, has since suspended the surgical team.
Now the woman is planning to sue the hospital. She still needs the leg operation and is searching for another hospital to do it.

Uganda: Idi Amin’s dream mosque opens
The crowds chanted “long live Gaddafi”
A huge mosque begun more than 30 years ago by the late Ugandan dictator Idi Amin has opened in the Ugandan capital.
The mosque is named after Libyan leader Muammar al-Gaddafi who helped finance its construction when funds ran low.
As Libya’s leader opened the mosque, which holds some 15,000 worshippers and dominates Kampala’s skyline, a large crowd chanted “long live Gaddafi”.
Amin, who lived in Saudi Arabia after he fled Uganda in 1979, dreamed of building Africa’s largest mosque.
A number of other African heads of state attended the ceremony, including the presidents of Somalia, Zanzibar and Djibouti.

‘Portable Seclusion’ Robber Targets Jewellers
* ‘The world is a masquerade…’
Police said the man was ‘pretending’ to be female
An armed robber disguised as a Muslim woman has stolen jewellery from a shop in the West Midlands.
Police said the man went in to the Friend Jewellers in Cape Hill, Smethwick, wearing a burka and pushing an empty children’s buggy.
Police said the Asian man was joined in the store by four other Asian men who were all equipped with hammers.
They sprayed four staff members with an unknown substance and smashed display cabinets before fleeing in two cars.
The burka is a traditional form of Islamic dress for women consisting of a full body covering that also obscures the face.
Staff in the shop were not seriously hurt.
The owner of the shop is now offering an undisclosed reward for any information which leads to a conviction.
* Update:
Probe after second burka robbery
Officers looking for a man who raided a jewellers while wearing a burka are investigating a similar incident.
A man thought to be wearing a burka threatened a security driver in Birmingham on 14 March with what is thought to be a firearm before fleeing.
Last Thursday, an armed robber pushing a child’s buggy and disguised as a woman in a burka went to the Friends Jewellers in Smethwick, West Midlands.
He was joined by four other men who smashed cabinets before fleeing.
‘Weapon trapped’
The burka is a traditional form of Islamic dress for women consisting of a full body covering that also obscures the face.

BAN THE DAMNED BURKA!!!!!
Also, let’s just say for the sake of argument, people from another planet landed on Earth. All they would see is mosques and all they would hear is the call to prayer . Therefore, they would think that this is an islamic planet. And in reality, that is just what the moes want everyone else to see, their mosques and to hear their prayers . It is to make it look like they are in charge. Ya’ know what I am trying to say here??? I’m so frustrated!
