Denmark ends the jihad

From JW:

In this Denmark is, of course, following the lead of the United States — and, like the United States, depriving itself of the principal key to understanding the jihadists. To avoid discussing or examining the Islamic element of today’s global jihad hinders our understanding of the jihadists’ motivations. Officials cannot investigate what they believe and why, much less strategize on the basis of such investigations, because that will lead us to examine elements of Islam’s theology of jihad that they would apparently rather ignore.

Deja vu. Is this “atonement” for the dreaded cartoons? “Denmark tries to clean up terror talk,” from UPI, August 15, via DW:

COPENHAGEN, Denmark, Aug. 15 (UPI) — The Danish Intelligence Agency has introduced new guidelines for discussing terrorism, advising authorities to avoid words like jihad and martyr.

How original!

Anja Dalgaard-Nielsen is head of protective security for the agency, which is known by its Danish acronym PET.

As in fawning to Islam?

She said that the goal is to avoid legitimizing terrorism or tying the majority of non-violent Muslims to terrorists, the Copenhagen Post reported.

Muslims pressure radio station regarding Coptic priest Zakaria Botros’ “rants” about Muhammad

And the radio station complies. There is perhaps no one person that “radicals” despise as much as Father Zakaria Botros. I first described him and his ministry here (be sure to click on links that go to important video clips of him, with English subtitles). The problem Muslims have with Botros is that they simply cannot refute his “rants” and “hate speech,” for the simple reason that everything he says — no matter how scandalizing for Islam — is always based on Islamic sources. This article, for example, keeps demonizing Botros by suggesting that, out of the blue and with no evidence, Botros claims Muhammad had homosexual inclinations. Well, I just watched that show on the internet, and, even though his talk about Islam’s prophet was scandalous, it was also, nonetheless, totally derived from Islamic sources, particularly little known hadiths — all of which were certainly at least suggestive of homosexual behavior. And at any rate, I have rarely seen Botros claim anything about Islam; he only raises questions, based on Islam’s sources, and then invites Islam’s ulema to respond and “clarify” the matter. However, as this report indicates, their response is only to have him censored. “Priest irks community with bizarre, offensive comments about Islam,” by Khalil AlHajal for Arab American News, August 15, with thanks to DW:

Local religious leaders believe they’ve successfully convinced a local AM radio station to force a regular guest on one of its programs to tone down his intense, often strange commentaries critical of the Islamic faith.

Now ignorance is forgivable. But  stabbing Geert Wilders in the back is not…

DANISH CARTOONIST CHARGED IN JORDAN

‘I Don’t Allow Fanatics to Intimidate Me’

After drawing a cartoon of the Prophet Muhammad with a lit bomb in his turban in 2005, Kurt Westergaard has lived under constant police protection. Now Jordan wants to prosecute the Dane. In a SPIEGEL ONLINE interview he discusses the legal summons and his anger.

One- man cell, the new face of Al Qaeda terror

 

Washington , Aug 15 (ANI): The creation of one-man cell seems to be the new strategy of Al Qaeda terrorists.

* Well, don’t tell the FBI: unless they come with clear signs and have Al Qaeda written all over them there is just no way that single jihadists would get any credit for their activities. They are ‘loners’ or ‘psychologically disturbed people…. (like this Somali Muslim, call him Cyanide Mo)

According to the FoX News, intelligence officials have discovered an online Al Qaeda manual that prescribes that group leaders should training new recruits to operate as smaller cells around the globe.

The manual, called Method for Building the Personality of a Terrorist Mujahid and written by an Islamist forum contributor nicknamed “Shamil al-Baghdadi,” encourages militant followers to stop focusing on pulling off attacks on the scale of 9-11 and to start executing numerous smaller attacks.

If for some reason the mission fails, the Jihadi must not abort, but instead carry on alone, as a one-man cell, the paper quotes New York City Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly as saying while quoting from the manual.

Yet State Department allows entry to 100s of Muslim clerics each year

* That’s only the legal ones. Add another 1000 illegals and you might get close…

WorldNetDaily Exclusive

 

A new congressional study has found that more than 20 Muslim nations deny entry to American and other foreign religious workers, WND has learned, even as the U.S. State Department grants entry to hundreds of clerics from their countries each year.

The United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and most other Middle Eastern countries still refuse to offer religious visas, they and deny entry to U.S. clergy as official policy, according to a report by the Law Library of Congress, the foreign legal research arm of the U.S. Congress. In a shocker, U.S. allies Afghanistan and Iraq also made the list of religious refuseniks.

“Of this group, the vast majority constitute Arab or Muslim states,” said Wendy Zeldin, senior legal research analyst for the Library of Congress.

“Since Islam prohibits proselytism by other religions, foreign religious workers will in effect be denied entry to conduct religious work,” Zeldin wrote in the three-page report, a copy of which was obtained by WND.

Baghdad: latest female suicide bomber kills 18, injures 75

* Everybody knows that suicide bombing is unislamic, even my dog knows that. But increasing numbers of burka-clad females in Iraq just don’t seem to get the message. Any Islamic clerics around who will try to straighten them out?

Another miserable woman exploited by jihadis? “Female suicide bomber kills 18 Iraqi pilgrims ,” from the China View, August 14:

BAGHDAD, Aug. 14 (Xinhua) — A female suicide bomber on Thursday killed at least 18 Shiite pilgrims on their way to the holy city of Karbala, an Iraqi police source said. 

The attack, near the town of Iskandariya, some 60 km south of Baghdad, also wounded 75 people, the source said on condition of anonymity.

Thousands of pilgrims were traveling to the holy city of Karbala, about 110 km south of the capital, to commemorate the birth in the 9th century of the Imam Muhammad al-Mahdi, last of 12most revered Shiites Imams.

The suicide blast was the most critical after three female attackers killed more than 24 and injured over 62 on July 28 during a Shiite pilgrimage gathering in Baghdad.

Violence has dramatically dropped in Iraq, the U.S. military said, hitting a four-year low.

But sporadic suicide or car bombing attacks are still haunting the Iraqis and creating remarkable casualties.

Meanwhile, suicide explosions staged by women have increased as they are less subject to check and suspicion.

*  ‘Asians?’ Betcha anything they were Chinese or Japanese…

Police sources confirmed that detectives and forensics officers are searching two addresses in one street in the Audley Range area of Blackburn, as well as a third house in nearby Whalley Range.

Chinese or Japanese?

Two of the addresses are close to the garage where terrorist Junade Feroze worked.

Feroze, 31, was jailed last year for 22 years for helping al-Qaeda operative Dhiren Barot prepare the way for bomb plots in the UK and America….

THE future of Europe is in play. Will it turn into “Eurabia”, a part of the Muslim world? Will it remain the distinct cultural unit it has been for the past millennium? Or might there be some creative synthesis of the two?

The answer has vast importance. Europe may constitute a mere 7 per cent of the world’s landmass but for 500 years, 1450-1950, for good and ill, it was the global engine of change.

How it develops in the future will affect all humanity, especially daughter countries such as Australia that still retain close and important ties to the old continent. I foresee potentially one of three paths for Europe: Muslims dominating, Muslims rejected or harmonious integration.

* Muslim domination strikes some analysts as inevitable. Oriana Fallaci found that “Europe becomes more and more a province of Islam, a colony of Islam”. Mark Steyn argues that much of the Western world “will not survive the 21st century and much of it will effectively disappear within our lifetimes, including many if not most European countries”.

Such authors point to three factors leading to Europe’s Islamisation: faith, demography and a sense of heritage.
