68 killed on Shi’ite holiday in Iraq

* Being a Shi’it really sux, no?

BAGHDAD – Hundreds of thousands of frenzied Shiites beat their heads and chests in unison and whipped themselves with chains Saturday across Iraq to honor the martyrdom of one of their most revered saints. The processions were marred by violence with a deadly bombing in northern Iraq and clashes south of Baghdad.

The street battles between members of a messianic cult and Iraqi troops raged for a second day as the death toll from the fighting in two predominantly Shiite southern cities rose from 50 to at least 68.

A Cutting Tradition

* Looks like the NYT has removed the article. Here’s another link…

When a girl is taken — usually by her mother — to a free circumcision event held each spring in Bandung, Indonesia, she is handed over to a small group of women who, swiftly and yet with apparent affection, cut off a small piece of her genitals. Sponsored by the Assalaam Foundation, an Islamic educational and social-services organization, circumcisions take place in a prayer center or an emptied-out elementary-school classroom where desks are pushed together and covered with sheets and a pillow to serve as makeshift beds. The procedure takes several minutes. There is little blood involved. Afterward, the girl’s genital area is swabbed with the antiseptic Betadine. She is then helped back into her underwear and returned to a waiting area, where she’s given a small, celebratory gift — some fruit or a donated piece of clothing — and offered a cup of milk for refreshment. She has now joined a quiet majority in Indonesia, where, according to a 2003 study by the Population Council, an international research group, 96 percent of families surveyed reported that their daughters had undergone some form of circumcision by the time they reached 14.

Tears are wiped from the face of a 9-month-old following her circumcision.

These photos were taken in April 2006, at the foundation’s annual mass circumcision, which is free and open to the public held during the lunar month marking the birth of the prophet Muhammad. The Assalaam Foundation runs several schools and a mosque in Bandung, Indonesia’s third-largest city and the capital of West Java. The photographer Stephanie Sinclair was taken to the circumcision event by a reproductive-health observer from Jakarta and allowed to spend several hours there. Over the course of that Sunday morning, more than 200 girls were circumcised, many of them appearing to be under the age of 5. Meanwhile, in a nearby building, more than 100 boys underwent a traditional circumcision as well.

According to Lukman Hakim, the foundation’s chairman of social services, there are three “benefits” to circumcising girls.

“One, it will stabilize her libido,” he said through an interpreter. “Two, it will make a woman look more beautiful in the eyes of her husband. And three, it will balance her psychology.”

Female genital cutting — commonly identified among international human rights groups as female genital mutilation — has been outlawed in 15 African countries. Many industrialized countries also have similar laws. Both France and the U.S. have prosecuted immigrant residents for performing female circumcisions.

In Indonesia, home to the world’s largest Muslim population, a debate over whether to ban female circumcision is in its early stages. The Ministry of Health has issued a decree forbidding medical personnel to practice it, but the decree which has yet to be backed by legislation does not affect traditional circumcisers and birth attendants, who are thought to do most female circumcisions. Many agree that a full ban is unlikely without strong support from the country’s religious leaders. According to the Population Council study, many Indonesians view circumcision for boys and girls as a religious duty.

German security authorities have issued a warning to the Jewish community of an increased threat of terrorist attack emanating from Lebanon, a senior Jewish official said Sunday.

Stefan Kramer, general secretary of the Central Council of German Jews, told Deutsche Presse-Agentur (DPA) the warning had been received more than a week ago, on January 11.

He confirmed weekend news reports that increased precautions were being taken. The increased threat was to synagogues and Jewish schools across the country, and not just in Berlin, as was reported earlier, Kramer said.

War to end anti-Semitism is not over

AUSTRALIA

The case of Menachem Vorchheimer, an orthodox Jew punched in the face when he remonstrated with drunken men hurling anti-Semitic abuse in late 2006, has become a cause celebre here and elsewhere. Some might question Mr Vorchheimer’s zealous pursuit of those who victimised him but he doesn’t care.

What matters more than the Vorchheimer case is its context: it is just one of a growing number of anti-Semitic incidents in Australia, where Jews are now four times more likely to be attacked than they are in the UK. On the latest annual figures, 638 incidents were recorded here — twice the previous average.

No wonder, then, that a US envoy with a brief to combat anti-Semitism is arriving here this week to investigate what’s going wrong. We will watch with interest whether he gets a hearing from our Premier and our police chief. And report accordingly.

Then of course there is “George Bush”- the Nazi’s, Ku Klux Klan, the Serbs in the Bulkans, Branch Dividian and Timothy McVeigh, finally the master speaks again: “The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Elam”- right, Yusuf, they want to establish a global caliphate. It must be so because you said so… Another ones blames “Christian extremists use their armed forces to bomb innocent people”-(Muhammedan drivel, you heard it before..) then there are the “born again christians of the USA”– goodness!

Flight or fight, is Europe lost?

The Islamic enemy is using an interesting and unusual arsenal of weapons to defeat the West, most of it involving using the West’s own freedoms against it, and helping the weight of its own guilt tip the scales in their favor.

That the non-Muslims are leaving tells me they don’t wish to become Muslim or live under Islamic rule. But it also tells me that there’s a pervasive unwillingness to stand up for their right to live as they choose over there. And that wasn’t always the case.

No matter what blame some national leaders place on themselves for their Muslim immigrants not having assimilated, the population knows better. They know the Muslims have no desire to become European. They want Europe to become Muslim.

That’s the plan, and it’s working.

Sentence first, verdict afterwards,” declares the queen in Alice In Wonderland.

Canadians are uncomfortable even confronting what’s going on in their name. On last week’s letters page, Lauren Demaree of Windsor seemed closest to “mainstream” “moderate” Canadian opinion:

“Placing limits on free speech is a slippery slope, but that is not the only issue in play here. There is often a fine line that is crossed between opinion and hate propaganda and our laws need to reflect this more effectively. Where do we draw the line? When a group of people is harassed or when someone is beaten? How about killed? When your writer Andrew Coyne sits on a high horse spouting the ideals of free speech, he doesn’t stop and think about the consequences of his words.”

Who has been “killed” or “beaten” or “harassed” by Coyne-Steyn “hate propaganda”? The killings and bombings, as Ezra Levant pointed out, occur in countries without freedom of expression — because when you criminalize words the only expression left is action. How sad to see Canada pursuing, as the federal “human rights” commission puts it, “A Watch On Hate.” Not “hate crimes” or even “hate speech,” but just “hate” — thoughts, feelings. Mohamed Elmasry of the Canadian Islamic Congress is a world-class hater who thinks all Israeli civilians over 18 are legitimate targets for murder. Bully for him. Yet, in his pursuit of Maclean’s, Lauren Demaree sees the hater as the pin-up crusader who’ll abolish hate. No free society can do that. But it can certainly abolish, incrementally, freedom of expression and the presumption of innocence in relentless pursuit of such a banal happy-face chimera. The arbitrary absurdity of Alice-in-Wonderland’s queen yoked to the Cheshire Cat smile. This is your fight, too, Lauren, even if you don’t yet know it.

*

Because I’ve always been opposed to “human rights” commissions in theory (I like proper courts with things like “due process”), I failed to appreciate until Maclean’s present predicament how much worse they are in practice. These commissions were supposedly intended to investigate discrimination in housing and the like, but then came the very poorly drafted Section XIII, which makes it a crime to communicate anything electronically “likely to expose a person or persons to hatred or contempt.” “Likely,” eh? What does that mean? Well, according to the key determination, subsequently endorsed by the Supreme Court, in Canadian legalese “likely” now means “highly unlikely.” That’s to say, notwithstanding the absence of any evidence by the plaintiffs of anyone at all ever having been exposed to actual hatred or contempt, nor even any coherent argument as to why there is a hypothetical possibility of someone unspecified being exposed to theoretical hatred or contempt in the decades ahead, a commission can still deem such hatred or contempt “likely.”

In the three decades of the Canadian “Human Rights” Tribunal’s existence, not a single “defendant” has been “acquitted.” Would you bet on Maclean’s bucking this spectacular 100 per cent conviction rate? “Sentence first, verdict afterwards,” declares the queen in Alice In Wonderland. Canada’s not quite there yet, but at the Human Rights Commission, it’s “Verdict first, trial afterwards.” So I’m guilty and Ken Whyte’s guilty and Maclean’s is guilty because that’s the only verdict there is.

MUSLIM leaders have urged Kevin Rudd to revive an Islamic taskforce to advise his fledgling regime on Islam and community-related problems.

Richard Kerbaj/The Australian /hat tip Mullah

Aziza Abdel-Halim yesterday stressed the importance of forming another government-backed Islamic body to shield Australia’s almost 350,000 Muslims from being racially and religiously targeted by opponents of Islam.

The former senior member of Mr Howard’s Muslim advisory board said an Islamic taskforce should also be representative at a state level.

“We’re always targeted, we’re always painted with a black brush and that does not help our young people to really adjust and integrate,” she told The Australian.

Jacqui Smith Update:

British interior minister feels unsafe in London after dark

* Serious fuckwit in charge but not responsible:

LONDON, Jan 20, 2008 (AFP) – Britain’s interior minister Jacqui Smith admitted she would be afraid of walking the streets of London late at night, in an interview in The Sunday Times newspaper.

The home secretary said she would feel unsafe walking around plush districts like Kensington and Chelsea as well as deprived areas like Hackney.

Asked if she would feel safe walking alone after midnight in Hackney, Smith replied: ‘Well, no, but I don’t think I’d ever have done. You know, I would never have done that, at any point in my life.’

Asked why not, she answered: ‘Well, I just don’t think that’s a thing that people do, is it really?’

Smith was then asked whether she would feel unsafe walking around an area like Kensington and Chelsea. She replied: ‘Well, I wouldn’t walk around at midnight and I’m fortunate that I don’t have to do that.’

Following the interview, a worried aide called The Sunday Times to clarify her remarks, saying the wording had not come out as she had intended.

The aide stressed that Smith had recently ‘bought a kebab in Peckham’, one of the British capital’s more deprived areas.

Any woman would feel safe doing so being accompanied by the body guards assigned to the home secretary, The Sunday Times said in its editorial.

‘Home secretaries are supposed to strike fear into the hearts of criminals, not cower behind net curtains,’ the weekly broadsheet said.

‘The home secretary should not just admit that our streets are not safe — she should do something about it.’

A survey by pollsters YouGov in August found that 46 percent of Londoners did not feel safe in their neighbourhoods at night.

A spate of teenage murders in the capital last year led to fears of a knife and gun culture among urban youths.

By Paul Taylor

KRONBERG, Germany (Reuters) – A senior Saudi royal has offered Israel a vision of broad cooperation with the Arab world and people-to-people contacts if it signs a peace treaty and withdraws from all occupied Arab territories.

* Selling genocide in the old smarmy Arab tradition…

In an interview with Reuters, Prince Turki al-Faisal, a former ambassador to the United States and Britain and adviser to King Abdullah, said Israel and the Arabs could cooperate in many areas including water, agriculture, science and education.

Asked what message he wanted to send to the Israeli public, he said:

“The Arab world, by the Arab peace initiative, has crossed the Rubicon from hostility towards Israel to peace with Israel and has extended the hand of peace to Israel, and we await the Israelis picking up our hand and joining us in what inevitably will be beneficial for Israel and for the Arab world.”

The 22-nation Arab League revived at a Riyadh summit last year a Saudi peace plan first adopted in 2002 offering Israel full normalisation of relations in return for full withdrawal from occupied Palestinian, Syrian and Lebanese land.

Israel shunned the offer then, at the height of a violent Palestinian uprising in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.

* Click on image to enlarge…

But it has expressed more interest since the United States launched a new drive for Israeli-Palestinian peace at Annapolis, Maryland, last November, aiming for an agreement this year.

Prince Turki, who was previously head of Saudi intelligence, said that if Israel accepted the Arab League plan and signed a comprehensive peace, “one can imagine the integration of Israel into the Arab geographical entity”.

* Charley, Englands ‘Defender of the faiths’ – wrote a letter to the racist, hate spewing, anti-semitic, Islamofascist Mahatir Mohammed of Malaysia: claims he was “determined to continue the battle to spread the message that proper fundamentalism is in the best interest of the future of our world.”

* Shakin’ with the sheiks…

Charles’s letter in support of Islamic ‘fundamentalism’

Demonstrating the extent to which he sees himself as “defender of faith”, the Prince of Wales wrote to Mahathir Mohamad, the former prime minister of Malaysia, saying that he was “determined to continue the battle to spread the message that proper fundamentalism is in the best interest of the future of our world.”

* Mahatir: rants, Jew-hatred & dementia

*
Charles told Mahathir, who later claimed that Jews “rule the world by proxy”, he understood the “frustrations” Muslims experience “as a result of apparent Western misunderstanding and misrepresentation. I have, for a long time, despaired of the ignorant and thoroughly evil ‘role’ of the tabloid media in deliberately misrepresenting Islam and reducing everything to the level of the absurd.”

(???)

The hitherto private letter, which Charles wrote in September 1996 after Mahathir had given a lecture to the Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies, of which the prince is patron, has just been published in Malaysia in Dr Mahathir’s Selected Letters to World Leaders. “We now live in a Press State where everything is dominated by the lowest common denominator and by the most ludicrous of ‘sound bites’,” Charles also told Mahathir.

“Relations between countries seem to be decided by tabloid newspapers nowadays and I resent it deeply. Important issues are reduced to the level of farce, as I know to my cost having expressed an interest in the contribution made to this country by ethnic and religious minorities and by my desire to include other faiths, such as Islam, in the celebrations surrounding the forthcoming Millennium. In an attempt to show how much we share in common and how much we can learn from each other, I have discovered how easy it is to be misunderstood and misrepresented. I have even received several letters accusing me of becoming a Muslim!”

* One must suspect that the good prince has a certain affliction…

Charles said he saw the appeal of “proper fundamentalism” in “a world, in my part of it at any rate, which is increasingly without meaning, without roots, without a spiritual dimension and which worships the God of Technology.” He finished his letter with the rallying cry: “There is much to be done…!”

Death threat against FPÖ politician justifies her attack on Islam

* While socialists & conservatives are shitting themselves and run for cover, the FPÖ comes out fighting:

FPÖ General Secretary Harald Vilimsky said Wednesday that the Islamic death threat against Graz FPÖ politician Susanne Winter had justified her Sunday attack on Islam.

Dr. Susanne Winter

*

Winter had claimed at the FPÖ’s New Year’s meeting in Graz six days before the municipal election there that the prophet Mohammed had been “a child molester” and written the Koran during “epileptic fits.”

A death threat against Winter claiming to be from European Al-Qaeda appeared on the internet on Monday. The head of her party’s list in the January 20 municipal election, she has subsequently received protection from members of the elite Cobra security force.

Vilimsky added that the FPÖ was awaiting “a clear response” to the death threat from Austrian President Heinz Fischer and SPÖ Chancellor Alfred Gusenbauer.

Harald Vilimsky

*

Vilimsky claimed that it was “especially piquant” that a “phalanx” of representatives of other political parties and Austrian religious groups had distanced themselves from Winter but had had no response to death threats against her. Vilimsky called Fischer’s failure to respond “shameful.”

The FPÖ official added that the FPÖ had received more than 30 threats after Winter’s speech and demanded that ÖVP Interior Minister Günther Platter “dismantle” all Islamic “cells” in Austria.

Vilimsky thanked Winter for having initiated discussion of Islam in a “pointed and worthy” manner. He charged that the public prosecutor’s investigation of Winter for possible violation of the law on hate crimes had been undertaken by “completely politicised authorities dependent on commands from above.”

Translation: You hope we are ‘moderate’ Islamic groups, but “we can’t guaranty there won’t be violent protest for the usual flag and car burnings, destructions and eventually killings. You know by now that our youth are so emotional”.

A video containing an unspecified threat to Austria was posted on the video-sharing Web site YouTube on Tuesday following anti-Islamic remarks by an Austrian politician.

The video, lasting four minutes and 48 seconds, contained coverage of a speech Winter made at the traditional New Year’s congress of the far-right FPOe party on Sunday.

The video then showed pictures of the destruction of the World Trade Center in New York on September 11, 2001, and warned: “Look, Susanne, something like this could happen to your country and you are responsible.”

“It was a mistake for you to take on … Allah’s warriors,” the video said in German.

“We, the Muslims, are those warriors with whom you now have a problem.”

* Right. But we better take them on now. Because if this continues, we cannot take them on anymore…

‘We want to offer sharia law to Britain’

By Clare Dwyer Hogg and Jonathan Wynne-Jones

Dr Suhaib Hasan is pushing for personal sharia law to be integrated into the British legal system

*

* What happened to ‘Rule Britannia?’ Is this once proud nation going to succumb to the 7th century barbarism of the Koranimals?

Amnah is a modern British Muslim. She is dressed in a denim skirt and her head is covered in a hijab. Poised and self-assured, she has come to meet Dr Suhaib Hasan, a silver-bearded sheikh who sits behind his desk, surrounded by religious books.

* The origins and obligations of sharia law

“But why would I have to observe the waiting period?” she asks him. “What are the reasons?” There is an urgency to her questions.

“These reasons don’t apply to me, that’s what I’m very confused about. If you could give me the reasons why I have to wait three months, then I’ll understand.”

Amnah is going through a divorce and is baffled at being told that she must wait for three months to remarry, considering that she hasn’t seen her estranged husband for two years.

She twists her sock-clad toes into the carpet, grasping one hand with the other in her lap, and fixes Dr Hasan with an intense look. He meets this with a simple reply: “These rulings are all in the Koran. The rulings are made for all.”

Amnah has little choice but to comply: Dr Hasan is a judge, and this is a sharia court – in east London. It sits, innocuously, at the end of a row of terrace houses in Leyton: a converted corner shop, with blinds on the windows, office- style partitions and a makeshift reception area.

It is one of dozens of sharia courts – also known as councils – that have been set up in mosques, Islamic centres and even schools across Britain. The number of British Muslims using the courts is increasing.

* Link to the Telegraph

Islamic courts meet every week in the UK to rule on divorces and financial disputes. Clare Dwyer Hogg and Jonathan Wynne-Jones report on demands by senior Muslims that sharia be given legal authority .

Dr Hasan, who has been presiding over sharia courts in Britain for more than 25 years, argues that British law would benefit from integrating aspects of Islamic personal law into the civil system, so that divorces could be rubber-stamped in the same way, for example, that Jewish couples who go to the Beth Din court have their divorce recognised in secular courts.

“Penal law is the duty of the Muslim state – it is not in the hands of any public institution like us to handle it. Only a Muslim government that believes in Islam is going to implement it. So there is no question of asking for penal law to be introduced here in the UK – that is out of the question.”

Despite this, Dr Hasan is open in supporting the severe punishments meted out in countries where sharia law governs the country.

“Even though cutting off the hands and feet, or flogging the drunkard and fornicator, seem to be very abhorrent, once they are implemented, they become a deterrent for the whole society.

“This is why in Saudi Arabia, for example, where these measures are implemented, the crime rate is very, very, low,” he told The Sunday Telegraph.

In a documentary to be screened on Channel 4 next month, entitled Divorce: Sharia Style, Dr Hasan goes further, advocating a sharia system for Britain. “If sharia law is implemented, then you can turn this country into a haven of peace because once a thief’s hand is cut off nobody is going to steal,” he says.

“Once, just only once, if an adulterer is stoned nobody is going to commit this crime at all.

“We want to offer it to the British society. If they accept it, it is for their good and if they don’t accept it they’ll need more and more prisons.”

These sentiments, and the vast cultural gulf they expose, alarm many in the West and go to the heart of the debate about the level of integration among Muslims living in Britain and their acceptance of British values.

Many are uncomfortable with the idea of linking sharia to civil law in Britain. In The Sunday Telegraph earlier this month, Michael Nazir-Ali, the Bishop of Rochester, wrote: “Attempts have been made to impose an “Islamic” character on certain areas?… There is pressure already to relate aspects of the sharia to civil law in Britain. To some extent this is already true of arrangements for sharia-compliant banking but have the far-reaching implications of this been fully considered?”

There are also issues around the Islamic approach to equality and human rights that make integration with British law problematic and contentious.

* Mass-Internment & deportations could solve many of these problems. Unfortunately the dhimmi Brits are not quite there yet…

Spanish police arrest 14 Pakistani & Indian Muhammedans in anti-terror raids
(AFP)

MADRID – Spanish police have smashed a suspected Islamist terror cell, arresting 14 people and recovering bomb-making equipment in overnight raids in Barcelona, the interior minister said on Saturday.

‘During our searches, we found various materials which could be explosives or be used to make explosives,’ Interior Minister Alfredo Perez Rubalcaba told a press conference in Madrid.

Those arrested included 12 Pakistanis and two Indians, he said. Four timing devices as well as computer equipment which was still being examined were also recovered.

He said that the group could be characterised as ‘radical Islamist’, was ‘highly organised’ and was preparing to carry out an attack in the north-eastern Spanish city.

The operation, which saw five homes raided by police, was carried out on the basis of information gathered by Spain’s domestic and foreign intelligence agencies.

The intelligence suggested ‘the possibility that a terrorist action was being prepared on Spanish soil, in Barcelona to be precise,’ Rubalcaba said.

Police then ‘detected an organised group suspected of gathering materials used to make explosives,’ and decided immediately to swoop, he said.

He added that it was ‘probable’ that some of the 14 were innocent.

* Muslims are ALWAYS innocent. They only follow their religion…!

Private radio station Cadena Ser reported that the suspects were believed to have links to a financial network for certain branches of Al Qaeda.

All the arrests took place in the Raval neighborhood of Barcelona, home to a large Muslim immigrant population, media reports said.

* Why does Catholic Spain suddenly have a ‘large Muslim immigrant population?’ Any idea, anybody?

In May last year in Barcelona, authorities dismantled a network that was recruiting fighters and funding militant organisations in North Africa and Iraq. Thirteen Moroccans and two Algerians were arrested in that case.

“The killing of some 40 Palestinians in Gaza in the past week, the targeting of a Government office near a wedding party venue with what must have been foreseen loss of life and injury to many civilians, and the closure of all crossings into Gaza raise very serious questions about Israel’s respect for international law and its commitment to the peace process,” Dugard said in a statement.
