The US government yesterday dismissed a new audio message from al-Qa’ida leader Osama bin Laden and said he was not a threat to President-elect Barack Obama’s inauguration.

The tape surfaced as the United States prepares for a handover of power from President George W. Bush to Obama on Tuesday.

Bin Laden focused his message on a call for a holy war over the Israeli offensive in Gaza. He also discussed Obama and said the new US president would inherit the “heavy legacy” of a long guerrilla war that would widen to more fronts, said the Internet terrorism monitor SITE Intelligence Group.

An update from this story: Australia: 4BC’s Michael Smith accused of anti-Islamic remarks over hijab

The Australian

      Verboten:

    

A RADIO announcer’s call for a ban on Islamic hijabs has been backed by the Retailers Association.

The body has called for all hijabs, helmets and hoodies to be banned in shops and banks for security purposes.

Brisbane radio presenter Michael Smith angered listeners muslims and nutroots after calling for Muslim women who wear a hijab to be fined.

The 4BC drive presenter said yesterday that wearing the hijab or burka posed a security risk because it obscured the face, making it difficult to identify the wearer in the instance of a crime.

Smith said it should be made an offence.

Retailers association executive director Scott Driscoll said it had been a long accepted practice to require customers to remove helmets and other identity obscuring headwear when entering a shop or bank.

* Please send Mr Driscoll a note of support: <scott.driscoll@theretailersassociation.com.au>

“Retailers should not have to fear any form of retribution or backlash for requiring the removal of any obscuring headwear, including hijabs, as a condition of entry,” Mr Driscoll said.

“This is about ensuring a more safe and secure retail environment for all and being able to readily identify any and all perpetrators of armed hold-ups or shop theft.”

What? You never divorced your wife and married a younger one without telling your first one the good news? Better get with the program, buddy. You’re kind of old fashioned…

                    

A MUSLIM teacher divorced his severely disabled wife without her knowing so he could keep access to her £1m compensation, Leeds Crown Court heard.

Khalil Kazi, believed to be a former imam at Armley jail and in Batley Carr, married again under Islamic law in Morocco while his original wife, Meimuna, thought she was still married, the jury was told. Mrs Kazi only learned her marriage had been dissolved when she applied for a divorce.

Prosecuting David Hall said that Kazi, 39, of Batley Carr, had falsified divorce papers and perjured himself by falsely swearing a witness statement for a grant of divorce.   

His plot collapsed after four years, in 2006, Mr Hall said, when Mrs Kazi visited Dewsbury County Court in March 2006 to apply for a decree of judicial separation.

Giving evidence wearing a veil, wheelchair user Mrs Kazi told the court how she reacted when she was told there was already a divorce in place.
She said: “My solicitor went to speak to Mr Kazi’s solicitor and she came back with the shocking news that I was already divorced… I was very shocked. I trusted my husband and I never expected he would do this to me.”   

She added: “I felt very guilty he had lived with me for one year living in adultery.
He never told me at any time he had divorced me. He never mentioned anything about a divorce.”

From the New English Review

This disturbing report was sent to me by Prof. Barry Rubin of GLORIA Center in Israel. Rubin is a noted Turkish expert. This anonymous report is without attribution for a reason. The writer’s life in Turkey could be in grave danger if his identity was revealed. The current Islamist government of Prime Minister Erdogan is whipping up a frenzy of antisemitism rivaling that of Nazi Germany in the wake of Israel’s incursion in Gaza. After all, Erdogan recently commented that “Qassems Don’t Kill”, further increasing tensions between Turkey and Israel.

The message conveyed by Rubin is that the existence of the Turkish Jewish community may be seriously in jeopardy if these reports prove out.

Even the graffiti used by Turks is eerily similar to that of Nazi propaganda minister, the infamous Joseph Goebbels.

Note these:

And not long ago, Turkey’s secularist governments were military allies of Israel. My how things have changed with the onset of Militant Islam in Turkey.

Print Out For Future Reference: Meet HAMAS’ Future American Doctors

By Debbie Schlussel

On this site, I’ve written in extensive detail about (and compiled a long list of) the various Muslim doctors who’ve headed terrorist groups, perpetrated terrorist plots, and, in at least one case, deliberately let his Jewish patient die by refusing to treat him (right here in America). And don’t forget Dr. Yazeed Essa, the Palestinian Muslim doctor, who drugged and murdered his pregnant wife in a car crash, then fled to the Mid-East. Today, he was held on $75 million bail (he was finally returned to Cleveland from Cyprus to face justice, after a year and a half of Muslim Cypriot pontificating).

Now, I want you to print out this list, below, of all of America’s (and some Canadian and foreign) medical students who are open supporters of HAMAS against Israel. They’ve all signed an anti-Israel (and let’s face it–Pro-HAMAS) petition that is circulating throughout the world’s medical schools and medical communities. (Since this list is constantly updating, I’ll try to update it, too.) If they have no problem with Islamic terrorists brutally murdering innocent civilians, imagine what they have no prob doing to your body.

The Hypocritic Oath: First, Do Harm and Support HAMASSave this list for the future, as I don’t think it’s in your best interest to go to any of these future doctors–you never know what politics will be entering into their treatment of you. Best advised to keep these people far away from your life and limb.

Oh, and a few other points to keep in mind:

1) America’s Jews, whom these anti-Semites hate, are the biggest donors to most of these medical schools listed. How many of these anti-Semites (and some Jewish self-haters) are going to medical schools that remain open because of Jewish donors? Most of ’em.

All that, and more from Debbie Schlussel
