UK: Sleepy Cornish village kept awake by 700-strong party of Muslims broadcasting 5am call to prayer by loudspeaker

* Collective insanity: multiculti-diversity over powerful loudspeakers:

It is just a few days until Easter, the most important date in the Christian calendar. But for 700 Muslims who have gathered in a rural caravan park, this week has a different religious significance.


And to some of their neighbours, the thrice-daily calls to prayer are proving a strain on a harmonious relationship. The Iranian Muslims have converged on the Trevelgue Holiday Park in Porth, Cornwall, to celebrate yesterday’s Persian New Year.

 The holiday park, where worshippers said seagulls were louder than the call to prayers

Every day at sunrise, noon and sunset they broadcast their prayers Muhammedan war cry, known as Adhan, on a loudspeaker system. But some residents are complaining that the noise is shattering the idyll of the quiet village near Newquay.

Neighbour Emma Brewer, 35, said “the novelty soon wore off” after the group arrived at the camp last weekend.

She said: “It lasts about 20 to 30 minutes and it is rather loud. I’m a bit naffed off by it, to be honest.”

Another resident added: “We are going to have to put up with this all week. It’s going off in the morning, at 5am.”

A neighbour from nearby St Columb Minor says he was offended because he could hear the chanting as he made his way back from church.

He said: “Why was this broadcast at such a high level of volume so as to be heard miles away? Do the Christian church bells ring out in amplified volumes on Fridays in areas where they are at prayer?

“This was totally unnecessary especially on such an important day in our Christian calendar.”

First Catholic Church Opens in Qatar, Sparking Fear of Backlash Against Christians

* Strange. There are thousands of mosques in the lands of the infidels, behind enemy lines, and there never was a ‘backlash’. Now, after many years, a church opens far out in the desert and the Christinas are shaking in their shoes:

DOHA, Qatar — Qatar’s first Christian church has no cross, no bell and no steeple.

And when 5,000 faithful flock to Our Lady of the Rosary to celebrate its historic consecration this weekend, they pray no one will notice.

Father Tom Veneracion, the parish priest, is worried about a backlash.

“The idea is to be discreet because we don’t want to inflame any sensitivities,” he says. “There isn’t even a signboard outside the church. No signs at all.”

Vienna – A high-ranking representative of Austria’s Catholic Church for the first time openly voiced reservations against the construction of minarets. “Mosques with minarets would be a provocation,” Elmar Fischer, bishop of Austria’s westernmost diocese in Vorarlberg, said on Tuesday in a press release.
While Austria’s population had been accepting of prayer rooms and mosques in the past, mosques with minarets would run counter to the feelings of “the majority of Vorarlberg’s population.”

Libya: "Bible a Forgery" Says Col. Gadaffi

* but Gaddaffi’s illiterate profit Muhammad said the same thing 1400 years ago when the Jews, his adversaries, were laughing at his newly invented ‘religion’ and couldn’t find the self professed profit pretender anywhere in their scriptures…

By Hussein Bogere

*
COLONEL Muammar Gadaffi yesterday celebrated the anniversary of the birth of Prophet Muhammad with a two-hour speech in which he attacked the Scandinavian countries for besmirching the Prophet, the Arabs for monopolising the Kaaba and signed off by describing the Bible as a forgery.

Pic & story thanx to Weasel Zippers

Speaking to the mammoth crowd that braved the afternoon heat in Nakivubo War Memorial Stadium after leading the Thuhur (afternoon) prayer, Col. Gadaffi said any Bible and Tora (Old Testament) that does not mention Prophet Muhammad was written by mankind and therefore a fraud.

Moses Maimonides points to one of the reasons for Muslim hatred of Jews:

Inasmuch as the Muslims could not find a single proof in the entire Bible nor a reference or possible allusion to their prophet which they could utilize, they were compelled to accuse us saying, “You have altered the text of the Torah, and expunged every trace of the name of Mohammed therefrom.” They could find nothing stronger than this ignominious argument.

* The above is from Andrew Bostom/The Legacy of Islamic Antisemitism

*

Gadaffi:

The Bible we have now is not the one that was revealed to Issa [Jesus] and the Old Testament is not the one that was revealed to Musa. Muhammad is mentioned in both (original versions), but the Tora and Bible we have now, there is no mention of him,” the Libyan leader, more known for his controversial statements than his piety, said.

“It means that it (Bible) has been forged. Prophet Muhammad was sent to mankind. Allah wanted mankind to have one religion. The Koran that we have is the only book that was sent by Allah. We believe in the Bible as well as the Tora.”

He said Prophet Musa (Moses) and Issa (Jesus) talked about the coming of Muhammad in the Bible which has been in existence for centuries.

“Issa is mentioned in the Koran 25 times, Musa is mentioned 128 times, Mariam (Mary mother of Jesus) is mentioned 30 times. It is all glorifying and highly respectful. We cannot be Muslims unless we believe in Issa.

We have to look for the Bible and Tora that were sent to Moses and Jesus, but where can you find them? Unfortunately, the holy book that was sent by Allah was written by mankind and forged,” Col. Gadaffi, speaking through a translator said.

Islamic Tolerance Alert: “Philippines’ Islamic city proud to be different,” by Carmel Crimmins for Reuters (via DW)

MARAWI CITY, Philippines (Reuters) – Father Teresito Soganub doesn’t look like a Catholic priest and, from the outside, his cathedral doesn’t look like a church.
In his parish, tucked away in Marawi, the only Islamic city in the Philippines, it’s easier that way.

“To avoid arguments and to avoid further misunderstandings we just plant the cross deep in our hearts,” said the 47-year-old priest, who doesn’t wear a crucifix or a clerical collar and sports a beard out of respect for his Muslim neighbors.

Obama, the “post-racial candidate” thinks we need to talk yet more about race. How much more? I had had my fill by around 1974. How long must we all marinate in the angry resentment of black people?

As an authentic post-racial American, I will not patronize blacks by pretending Obama’s pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, is anything other than a raving racist loon. If a white pastor had said what Rev. Wright said — not about black people, but literally, the exact same things — I think we’d notice that he’s crazier than Ward Churchill and David Duke’s love child. (Indeed, both Churchill and the Rev. Wright referred to the attacks of 9/11 as the chickens coming “home to roost.”)

Imagine a white pastor saying: “Racism is the American way. Racism is how this country was founded, and how this country is still run. … We believe in white supremacy and black inferiority. And believe it more than we believe in God.”

Imagine a white pastor calling Condoleezza Rice, “Condoskeezza Rice.”

Imagine a white pastor saying: “No, no, no, God damn America — that’s in the Bible for killing innocent people! God damn America for treating our citizens as less than human! God damn America for as long as she acts like she is God and she is supreme!”

We treat blacks like children, constantly talking about their temper tantrums right in front of them with airy phrases about black anger. I will not pat blacks on the head and say, “Isn’t that cute?” As a post-racial American, I do not believe “the legacy of slavery” gives black people the right to be permanently ill-mannered.

Somali Islamic militants terrorists: Happy to be on US list of terrorist organizations

“We are happy that the U.S. put us on its list of terrorists, a name given to pure Muslims, who are strong and clear in their religious position, by the West,” Sheik Muqtar Robow, al-Shabab’s spokesman, told The Associated Press by phone from an undisclosed location in Somalia. He said he was pleased to be on a list that included Islamic militants — “our brothers” — in Iraq and Afghanistan.

“We would have been happy to be the first but now we are unhappy that we are the last,” Robow said. He accused the United States of targeting his group because it was “fighting against Ethiopia, a Christian nation that had invaded our country.”

* Hmm, actually its the other way around: its Muslims invading, attacking and terrorizing Ethiopians, but don’t let such a small detail get in the way of this inner struggle…

(ANSAmed) – JERUSALEM, MARCH 19 An agreement for a USD150 million aid (about 95 million euro) by the United States to the Palestinian National Authority (PNA) was signed in Ramallah, in the West Bank, today. Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad, who signed the agreement with U.S. Consul General Jake Walles, told the media that the financial aid “comes to us at a time of great need and it will help our efforts in building towards Palestinian statehood”. The American aid – so far the biggest granted by one of the donor states – is part of an American pledge to support the Fayyad government and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas (Abu Mazen).

Whites 'must do more to help Muslims feel at home' says research group

muslimdm1511_468×310.jpg

A report by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation found “white people must do more to make Muslims feel part of the community”

* WHY?

Muslim immigrants face so much discrimination and hostility that they don’t feel they belong here, according to a liberal research group. As part of efforts to improve integration, it called for an improvement in public behaviour towards Muslims.

And it said other Britons are wrong to worry about segregation and Muslim-dominated enclaves, as there are benefits to “residential clustering”.

The report, for the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, is a strike for multiculturalism, the doctrine which encourages the development of minorities. Multiculturalism fell out of favour in 2005, after the Government’s equality chief Trevor Phillips warned that the country was “sleepwalking to segregation”.

Muslim leader slams ‘semi naked’ Eden parade

Samba in the street? Hell NO, sez goatfucker:

WYCOMBE Islamic Society has criticised Eden’s opening celebrations claiming they failed to represent the town’s ethnic minorities.

The group, based at the Islamic Centre in Arnison Avenue, has hit out at the shopping centre’s Brazilian carnival parade on Thursday morning.

Volunteer Zahid Jawed, speaking on behalf of the society, said: “I had the wonderful opportunity to witness the opening of the Eden shopping centre last Thursday.

“This has been much needed and will no doubt attract people and jobs to the area. It could also have been a great opportunity to celebrate the town and its people.

“Instead we had the pleasure of watching such things as semi naked dancers on parade. It was made even worse as I had taken children with me.

“Once again the planners decided to ignore and alienate significant parts of the local population and then will no doubt accuse them of not wishing to integrate.

“I would have liked to have seen a much more local and multicultural celebration on the day.

“Another opportunity for community cohesion wasted.”

Obama Rides Into The Sunset

presiddent-obama.jpg

America’s Manchurian Islamic candidate is cooked. Roasted. Done.

* Surrounding himself with flags doesn’t help, and while his speeches are getting longer, there is still no substance: all his excuses are a few days late and a few dollars short.

But Eddie Rollnick had enough. This Vietnam vet doesn’t pull any punches and asks questions that nobody else dared to ask:

* What kind of ideology motivated a white American female in the sixties to travel to Africa to become the fourth wife of a Kenyan Muslim who already had ten children?

* What kind of Ideology motivated this Gramscian whore to make sure her son is born in America (Hawaii) like an anchor-baby, only to move to Indonesia afterwards, where she marries another Muslim, and makes her son go to a madrassah?

* Where is Obama’s mother now? Does he have brothers, sisters? You may say it does not matter, but the Bommah wants to be POTUS, so it does matter. Everything matters.

Australian columnist Andrew Bolt takes a closer look at this American wunderkind and social raiser, and finds things even more disturbing:

89260918or4_thumb.jpg

Obama with his grandfather (now deceased) and his grandmother (who refuses interviews): The couple helped raise Obama during his high school years.

*

In both damning and defending his mentor, the race-baiting black preacher Jeremiah Wright, Barack Obama delivers a line that could finish him:

I can no more disown him than I can disown the black community. I can no more disown him than I can my white grandmother – a woman who helped raise me, a woman who sacrificed again and again for me, a woman who loves me as much as she loves anything in this world, but a woman who once confessed her fear of black men who passed by her on the street, and who on more than one occasion has uttered racial or ethnic stereotypes that made me cringe.

On how many levels is that ugly?

Obama has betrayed his own grandmother to save his political skin. He has also likened the private fear of his grandmother to the public hate-preaching of a demagogue preacher, as if they were of equal gravity.

And he has undermined the very point he tried to argue – that he is above the racial politics of a Wright and can bridge the black-wide divide. He’s instead demonstrated that to defend a black preacher guilty of appalling racism, he’d shop even his own white relatives.

And yes: the Bommah knows how to talk to white people:

OBAMA ON HOW TO TALK TO WHITE PEOPLE History News Network

In the good, old tradition of revolutionaries, Obama hides in plain print. So, before listening to his speech, it’s worth while to note the following passages from his autobiography:

On p. 94-95 he describes an effective tactic to deal with White people:

It was usually an effective tactic, another one of those tricks I had learned: People were satisfied so long as you were courteous and smiled and made no sudden moves. They were more than satisfied; they were relieved – such a pleasant surprise to find a well-mannered young black man who didn’t seem angry all the time.

Indeed, when he was a community organizer (age 22 prior to going to law school) he happily cooperated with Rafiq, a former gangster turned Nation of Islam. He even believed that Black Nationalism was a good therapy for Blacks. That was also the reason he supported Wright (pp. 190-200). For he shares Michelle’s sentiments of alienation, came to believe that race should trump everything and it should be anti-white:

The survey also shows unprecedented support for the shooting of rockets on Israeli towns from the Gaza Strip and for the end of the peace negotiations between Palestinian and Israeli leaders.

The pollster, Khalil Shikaki, said he was shocked because the survey showed greater support for violence than any other he had conducted over the past 15 years in the Palestinian areas. Never before, he said, had a majority favored an end to negotiations or the shooting of rockets at Israel.

Saudi Shura council rejects proposal to ban religious offence

With thanx to Mullah

(dpa) – The Saudi Shura council rejected an international recommendation to criminalize offences against all religions, stressing that the suggestion would imply the government’s recognition of what it considered as pagan religions, media reports said Tuesday.

Some 77 of the 150 members of the Shura or consultative council, which has limited legislative rights, opposed the recommendation, while only 33 supported it.

The proposal states that the “Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs along with the Arab Islamic group of the United Nations will adopt an international recommendation that prohibits offence of all religions and religious figures by all means.”

Talal Bakry, a Shura council member, opposed the move, saying that the recommendation means a full recognition of “the pagan religions” and thus will allow the establishment of non-monotheistic worship places in Muslim countries.

“This recommendation is a trap for the Muslim community, which can result in negative consequences on Muslims above all the others,” Khalil al-Khalil, an opponent member, was quoted as saying in al-Watan Saudi newspaper.

He added that the suggestion includes vague wordings like “religions and religious figures” that may vary in definition from one country to another.

Mohammed al-Qowayhas, a supporter of the recommendation, however stressed that the idea of the Shura was to respect the opinions of others.

Habib's Moonbat Wankfest

180308shakespeare_narrowweb__300×5734.jpg

* Remember: Mamduh Habib is the whining, wingeing jihad ape who went looking for ‘a good Muslim school’ for his widdle ones, because the Muhammedan facilities downunder are simply not good enough. After a few trips to Pakistan he was picked up in Afghanistan and invited to spend a few years in Gitmo to taste the halal-burgers. For a while the nutroots went apeshit over this perceived injustice. But now, strangely, the sympathies for this turd have somehow dried up, just because he couldn’t prove that he was tortured…

“One man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter” update:

From the Bolt blog:

Gerard Henderson isn’t surprised by the media’s lack of interest in a judge’s finding that Mamdouh Habib couldn’t be trusted to tell the truth about being a victim of the US’s war on terror:

The court’s decision was disastrous for Habib. Especially since he has become something of a media celebrity. He has been seen at demonstrations against Australian foreign policy and is something of a hero to the Green Left Weekly set. He has also had sympathetic media coverage: Tara Brown’s soft 60 Minutes interview on February 13, 2005, is a case in point. And his allegations have been given plausibility at an international level – including by Raymond Bonner in The New York Times. Put simply, many journalists wanted to hear that Habib was mistreated, even tortured, when held in captivity in Pakistan and/or the US.

Yet the media’s coverage of Habib’s case has been muted. The decision was barely mentioned on ABC TV and radio – despite the fact ABC commentators have been to the fore in advancing Habib’s case. One example illustrates the point. On February 16, 2005, The Age’s Michelle Grattan criticised the Howard government for failing to take Habib’s claims that he was tortured seriously enough – an accusation denied at the time by the attorney-general, Philip Ruddock. It so happens that The Age was the only key Australian newspaper not to report McClellan’s judgment. Nor did Grattan refer to it in her daily slot on ABC Radio National Breakfast.
