Did Rashid Rauf get away?

Bomb-plot planner still alive, claims al-Qa’ida

Bruce Loudon, South Asia correspondent | The Australian

THE alleged al-Qa’ida mastermind of the plot to bomb trans-Atlantic aircraft, Briton Rashid Rauf, is still alive, his lawyer claimed last night, amid reports that the terrorist organisation’s leaders are being forced to flee to new hideouts in Pakistan because of US unmanned drone attacks.

Western diplomats were quoted as saying a recent drone strike was launched after intelligence was received that Osama bin Laden’s deputy, Ayman al-Zawahiri, was in the area.

Bullshit Peddlers & Taqiyya Doctors

Thanks to Weasel Zippers:

* Despite the tens of thousands of hate preachers, 1400 years of jihad warfare against the world, more than 12.000 Islam-motivated terrorist attacks since 9/11 and then some;  there is still an army of spin-doctors and gullible loons out there who would have you believe that Islam is somehow benevolent and peaceful. At this point it is up to you, dear reader, to educate yourself and to make up your own mind, in case you haven’t done so yet. Perhaps I will post a full rebuttal later when I find the time, in the meantime, the comments are all yours. Please keep it civil!

Anti-Semitism and Islamophobia

Sumbul Ali-Karamal, author of the book The Muslim Next Door, writes of an encounter with someone who subscribes to the fallacy that Islam and muslims are inherently anti-Semitic:

"Taxi? I'm XFJ, your insane psycho-killer who can't be named…"

Killer cabbie on our roads, but law stops us naming him

A Victorian tribunal gives an African refugee a(nother) chance:

Fiona Hudson/Herald Sun

AN insane killer who stabbed his wife to death has won the right to drive a taxi but passengers are not allowed to know his identity.

A tribunal granted the man taxi accreditation despite pleas from Victoria’s Director of Public Transport to ban him from the roads.

A Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal order prevents Melbourne newspaper the Herald Sun revealing the name of the driver, known only as ‘XFJ’.

*   Looks like our minders and activist judges know best what’s good for us. Fits in with Chief Commissioner Christine Nixon’s policy of not acknowledging a problem, I guess. But I wonder whether helping one unfortunate murderer actually hurts the interests of many hundreds of taxi drivers – and especially those of them that are African, too.

Update: A BBC radio presenter who asked a taxi firm not to send a Asian driver has been sacked. Sam Mason made the comments while ordering a taxi for her 14-year-old daughter who she said would be “freaked out” by a turban-wearing driver.

Fasten your seatbelts: UN passes measure limiting free speech

* Looks like the chickens are coming home to rrrroooossst!

Will you submit?

This has been a long time coming. The UN anti-blasphemy measure, although non-binding at this point, is part of a larger and long-term effort to restrict speech that Islamic authorities dislike, including honest examination of the motives and goals of jihad terrorists. The only victors can be the jihadists themselves: Western authorities, already mired in politically correct myopia, will grow even more afraid to speak openly about what they’re trying to do and what we can do to stop it. The losers can only be those who value freedom of speech and understand why it is so important in a genuinely pluralistic society. The UN measure moves the West one step closer to submitting to the hegemony of Islamic norms.

Bosnia: Clashes with Wahabis "who have a radical interpretation of Islam"

Student brawls blamed on Bosnian Wahabis

* Albanian Imam claims more of Serbian territory

SERBIANNA            Balkans: Wahabis seen as growing regional threat

* Remember the two Wahabis who tried to “silence” the church bells?

A massive brawl that occurred between Croat and Muslim students in the Bosnian city of Mostar is blamed on Wahabis, suggests the report by the NGO Croatia Libertas.

“It is about groups that have a radical interpretation of Islam and influence the youth. The attacks have spread on all high schools in Mostar,” says Leo Plockinic, representative from Croati Libertas.

Plockinic says that the organized Wahabis are armed with light weapons.

Europe’s new religious strife

“Those who make peaceful de-Islamization impossible make violent de-Islamization inevitable.”

Thanks to Andrew Bolt

The US National Intelligence Council in its Global Trends 2025 report warns that Europe faces even more trouble between Muslims and non-Muslims – and that the US and Israel may pay for the Islamisation of the continent:

Western Europe’s Muslim population currently totals between 15 and 18 million… If current patterns of immigration and Muslim residents’ above-average fertility continue, Western Europe could have 25 to 30 million Muslims by 2025.

* Some people would argue that EUrabia has that many already!

Egypt: Muslims oppose Coptic church gathering, shout "We're going to knock down the church"

*  In an article in the Australian by Richard Kerbaj from 21 July 2008 one of the nation’s most senior Muslim leaders, Ameer Ali whined that the former Howard government was “anti-Islam” for trying to replace the corrupt Muslim officials at Australian embassies in Islamic countries who prevent oppressed Christians from migrating to these shores.  So according to the slick Ameer Ali, Christians are not discriminated in Egypt, the constant attacks on the Copts are not happening,  because Ameer Ali says`I’ve heard the allegations of Christian refugees not getting a fair treatment in the Middle East, but they are not true.”  Yep. And Bin Laden had nothing to do with 9’11 and BLiar did 7/7 and…….

 

Rioting into the night

CNN Disinformation Watch

News from the Eretz crossing:

Can’t avoid it.  Every once in a while I get myself a dose of CNN, which has long given up any pretense to be a (unbiased)  news channel. Most of CNN’s advertising comes from the Emirates and to please their sheiky masters, CNN’s anti-Israel propaganda is often worse than the Arab Jew hatred they promote so well on Al Jizzeera.

Today I happened to watch a Paula Hancocks, a rather young Journo who was reporting from the Eretz crossing. She whined on and on about how little in aid gets though, that the 10 trucks Israel is allowing through is just a drop on a hot stone, that no reporters are allowed to go into Gaza (why not, what could go wrong?)  and finally, that all of this happened because the “Pals are shooting Kassam rockets at Israeli tanks towns”… (correction: she did say ‘towns’/ed)

Dear Paula, please, please do go to Gaza. Please! Why not? What could go wrong?
