Pakistanis protest Dutch film

Spencer comments: The predicted and predictable outrage begins — over a film, mind you, that merely depicts how jihadists commit violence and justify it according to the Qur’an. Yet that fact itself has never aroused outrage among significant numbers of Muslims, such that they would be moved, say, to mount protests against it.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

KARACHI, Pakistan — Dozens of Islamists in Pakistan have staged a protest over an anti-Quran film made by a Dutch lawmaker.

* That must be the ‘tiny minority of extremists’, the rest of them are peaceful Muslims, of course…

The film sets verses of the Muslim holy book against a background of violent images from terror attacks.

Dutch lawmaker Geert Wilder made the film and released it on the Internet late Thursday. Some Dutch TV channels aired excerpts.

Pakistan’s largest Muslim party, Jamaat-e-Islami, organized Friday’s protest outside a mosque in Karachi.

Some protesters demanded Pakistan cut diplomatic relations with the Netherlands over the film.

Iran, Indonesia angry over Dutch Koran film

By Niclas Mika

AMSTERDAM (Reuters) – Iran and Indonesia on Friday condemned a film by a Dutch lawmaker that accuses the Koran of inciting violence, while Dutch Muslim leaders urged restraint.

Islam critic Geert Wilders launched his movie on Thursday evening. Titled “Fitna”, an Arabic term sometimes translated as “strife”, it intersperses images of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks and other Islamist bombings with quotations from the Koran.

The film urges Muslims to tear out “hate-filled” verses from the Koran and starts and finishes with a cartoon of the Prophet Mohammad with a bomb under his turban, originally published in Danish newspapers, accompanied by the sound of ticking.

The image ignited violent protests around the world and a boycott of Danish products in 2006. Many Muslims consider any depiction of the Prophet as offensive.

Iran called the film heinous, blasphemous and anti-Islamic and called on European governments to block any further showing.

* Freedom of Expression for Muslims only?

Indonesia, the world’s most populous Muslim nation and a former Dutch colony, also condemned the film.

“We are of the view that the film has a racist flavour and is an insult to Islam, hidden under the cover of freedom of expression,” a foreign ministry spokesman said. “We call on Indonesian people not to be incited.”

* Which race is Islam again? Quoting from the Koran and showing their own hatepreachers in the mosques is an insult to Islam? Does that sound like the inverted logic of the Musulman…

“INFLAMING HATRED” read the whole thing…

“We rather lose our culture than a dollar…”

* Dutch exporters have expressed fears of a possible boycott in the Muslim world, though trade with such states is small. There is also concern about 25,000 Dutch citizens living in Muslim countries.

Bangladesh joins Dutch film protests

The government of Bangladesh has condemned the posting of an anti-Islam film on the Web by Dutch far-right politician Geert Wilders.

“This totally unwarranted and mindless action can have grave consequences… because it will offend millions of Muslims around the world,” a foreign ministry statement said on Friday.

“Islam is a faith of peace which preaches patience and understanding,” it said, adding that a spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has’ in the strongest terms’ protested the posting.

* Al-Qaeda-linked sites post photo of Dutch MP

“The Dutch, enemy of Allah, has done what he threatened to do and distributed his film,”said a banner in an Islamist website.

The message is followed by dozens of posts by visitors of the site asking for Muslims to act against him.

“Dear brothers, remember what happened to Ariel Sharon. Now let’s hope that he (Wilders) ends up the same way,” says a member of the forum.

Ariel Sharon is the former Israeli prime minister who is currently in a coma after having suffered a massive stroke.

Not even a second of Wilders’ film is out yet,” the newspaper writes, “and a Turkish organization already demands an apology from Geert Wilders or otherwise that he should be convicted and have to pay heavy fines.” The Turkish organization NIF not only requires that Wilders be silenced and a ban imposed on his anti-Koran film Fitna, but also a public apology from the PVV leader to the Muslim population: “To avoid a penalty payment of €50,000 per day, Wilders should publish a ‘rectification’ on the front page of two national newspapers, in which he is to declare that his remarks about Islam, the Koran and the Prophet Mohammed are “inappropriate and an unnecessary offense’. The ‘rectification’ should end with an expression of regret.”

* Islam and Free Speech, by Peter Hoekstra

According to Wilders on his weblog, his party is encountering “enormous costs” because of the film and its aftermath. Already many court cases are being filed and prepared to silence Wilders one way or the other and the lawyers’ bills must be piling up in his office

* 57% of the Dutch consider the importation of huge numbers of (Muslim) immigrants in recent decades to be the biggest mistake ever made in Dutch history.

Sietze Fritsma, the immigration specialist for Geert Wilders’ PVV, asked the government if they agree with that, and called for a parliamentary hearing: “Do you realize only the Dutch ‘elite’ embraces this horrible Multiculturalism, and that the ordinary citizen is sick of the daily trouble, street terror, crime, and deterioration that many immigrants bring with them?”

Iran wants compensation for UN sanctions

* No, its not a joke. The terror-regime of the mullahs seems to be slightly behind schedule in its nuclear bomb making endeavors. That calls not only for violent jihad, but also for compensation:

By EDITH M. LEDERER, Associated Press Writer

Manouchehr Mottaki

*

Iran is demanding compensation for what it says are unlawful sanctions imposed by the U.N. for refusing to suspend uranium enrichment, the Mideast nation’s foreign minister said in a letter obtained by The Associated Press on Wednesday.

In the 20-page letter, Manouchehr Mottaki said Iran rejects the sanctions resolutions because the U.N. Security Council went beyond its powers, and its actions are inconsistent with the U.N. Charter.

In his response, Mottaki singled out the United States, Britain, France and Germany, accusing them of pushing new sanctions for political motives and “providing false and erroneous information” to the IAEA concerning Iran’s nuclear activities.

“These countries should, as a minimum step, admit their mistakes, apologize to the great nation of Iran, correct their behavior, and above all, compensate all the damages they have inflicted on the Islamic Republic of Iran,” Mottaki said.

“The Islamic Republic of Iran and its citizens have the right to resort to legal actions to seek redress against the sponsors of these unlawful actions,” he said.

Isanoglu: “Denmark and the Netherlands must stop provoking Muslims using the European Convention on Human Rights as a basis.”

Ihsanoglu called on the two European countries to respect the sentiments of over 1.7 billion Muslims worldwide. “We have to deal first with the campaign of insults … and the deliberate misuse of freedom of the press,” said the OIC chief.

* Last time we checked there were about 1.2 billion Muslims in the world. Any idea how they multiplied by 500 million almost overnight?

A Dutch animated film shows Muhammad as paedophile

* Muhammad and the Islamic custom of child brides

One speaks only about Fitna de Geert Wilders. However another film could cause more Moslem fury in the world. Ehsan Jami, the founder of the Committee of ex-Muslims, has announced that he is producing an anti-Islamic cartoon called The Life of Muhammad and his 9 years old child bride Aicha”

“the film will show a Mohammed sexually excited with his nine year old wife Aïcha.” according to Ehsn Jami.

The animated drawing will be much more unpleasant for Mosqueteers than the Danish caricatures, but will not be offensive for non-Moslems.

Ehsan Jami , former politician of the Ploughing Dutch party is the founder of the committee of the ex-Moslems. Born in Iran, he rejected Islam after having read Koran and following the attacks of September 11, 2001. Obviously, he also must live hidden and under high protection after having received death threats.

Members of the Dutch Muslim and government contact organisation, CMO, who have viewed a section of the film, say they will go to court in an attempt to have The Life of Muhammad banned. The organisation has described the film as totally unacceptable and extremely offensive.

* South African ‘human rights’ stooge John Dugard leaves the UNHRC, only to be replaced by Jew-hating Jewish law professor Richard A. Falk – who has compared Israel to the Nazis – as special investigator on Israeli actions in the territories for a six-year term.

Jerusalem Post

The United Nations Human Rights Council on Wednesday appointed American
Jewish law professor Richard A. Falk – who has compared Israel to the
Nazis – as special investigator on Israeli actions in the territories for a
six-year term.

Falk, who formerly taught international law at Princeton University,
replaces South African professor John Dugard, who was an expert on
apartheid.

Dugard leaves his post in June after seven years. He made waves when he
compared Israeli actions in the territories with apartheid and colonialism.

Falk, in his academic writing, has already stated that a Palestinian
holocaust was in the making.

Yitzhak Levanon, ambassador to the United Nations in Geneva, spoke against
Falk’s appointment in an address to the council on Wednesday.

“In a recent article, [Falk] stated that he did not think it to be “an
irresponsible overstatement to associate the treatment of Palestinians with
the criminalized Nazi record of collective atrocity,” Levanon said.

“He has taken part in a UN fact-finding mission which determined that
suicide bombings were a valid method of ‘struggle,'” Levanon said.

“He has disturbingly charged Israel with ‘genocidal tendencies,’ and accused
it of trying to achieve security through ‘state terrorism,'” Levanon said.

“Someone who has publicly and repeatedly stated such views cannot possibly
be considered independent, impartial or objective,” Levanon said.

“No one can be a subcontractor for our defense. Mahmoud Abbas cannot constitute a solution for our defensive problems,” opposition leader Binyamin Netanyahu said Wednesday days after Israel announced that it would allow the Palestinian Authority to purchase 600 armored vehicles from Russia and deploy them in the West Bank.

“The idea of entrusting the PA with our security has failed in the past in Gaza and it will also fail in Judea and Samaria,” Netanyahu said at a conference at the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs. “The notion that we will provide the PA with weapons in its present state and believe that those weapons will protect us is a nonsensical one.”

“Those weapons will be turned against IDF soldiers much faster than we think. This is exactly what happened in Gaza,” Netnayahu said, adding that the government was erring in allowing the delivery of the armored vehicles. “They cannot protect us and Hamas will use these weapons against us. The security problems are the result of policy errors.”

Netanyahu voiced his agreement with a Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak’s recent statement to the effect that there was an Iranian presence in the Gaza Strip.

He also warned that the government’s policy in negotiations with the Palestinians over Jerusalem and the West Bank could cause the situation to deteriorate in those regions, as it had in the North of the country and in the western Negev.

Colin Freeze takes a look at the family’s many battles and how their ‘judicial jihad’ has affected Canadian courts and government

The case of Omar Khadr reaches the Supreme Court of Canada today, when top judges hear arguments on whether Canada should regard the Guantanamo Bay prison facility as legal.

Mr. Khadr, 21, has been in the U.S. military camp since he was shot and detained at the age of 15 and accused of killing a U.S. soldier in a battle in Afghanistan.

Just down the street in Ottawa, the Federal Court heard the case of Mr. Khadr’s older brother Abdullah, who is seeking the right to document disclosure in his fight against extradition to the United States on charges he once sold weapons to al-Qaeda.

The Khadr family has a long association with al-Qaeda. Hailed as a “martyr” by al-Qaeda after he was killed by the Pakistani army in 2003, the Egyptian-born family patriarch, Ahmed Said Khadr, (pictured) moved his family from Canada to Afghanistan during the 1980s jihad against the Soviets. The senior Mr. Khadr introduced his young children to Osama bin Laden and paramilitary training camps.

The Khadrs may have been compelled to leave behind their involvement in the Afghanistan
jihad, but federal agents complain they have replaced it with a “judicial jihad” in Canada and have become a legal industry unto themselves and a force to be reckoned with.

Their devotion to the global spread of militant Islam has frequently tested laws, politicians and judges.

Time and again, the predicament of one Khadr or another has forced officials to decide whether Canada will stand up for its liberal principles and go to bat for its citizens or bend the rules, sidestep issues and sweep sensitive security matters under the carpet.

“The Khadrs, allegedly accused of terrorism acts, test the boundaries of various security provisions,” said long-time family lawyer Dennis Edney.

“What better cases are there than the Khadrs?” said Mr. Edney, who says his clients could expose Canada’s relationships with countries that arbitrarily detain, torture or “disappear” prisoners.

The Khadrs have fought many battles on both military and legal fronts, influencing Canadian law and creating dilemmas for the courts and government.

Canada court to hear Guantanamo detainee’s case

* Shysters on fishing expedition*

OTTAWA, Canada (AP) — Canada’s Supreme Court will hear arguments Wednesday about the legality of the detention of a Canadian detainee at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, an event that essentially puts the U.S. military war-crimes trial system on trial in a foreign jurisdiction.

The detainee can raise the issue of legality of his detention and forthcoming trial at Guantanamo Bay.

Omar Khadr’s attorneys are arguing that interviews with the terrorism suspect by Canadian intelligence officials at Guantanamo violate Canada’s bill of rights because U.S. practices at Guantanamo are at odds with international human rights law.

The court is to decide whether the Canadian government should release details about his interviews with Canadian officials in 2003 and 2004 so that the lawyers can provide a full defense against U.S. charges.

Khadr is charged with killing a U.S. soldier in a 2002 firefight in Afghanistan when he was 15.

The Supreme Court ruled last week that Khadr’s attorneys could raise the legality of his detention and forthcoming trial in Guantanamo when they make their arguments that the interviews should be released.

Khadr’s attorneys are hoping the Supreme Court comments on the U.S. military base when they rule.

“Canada is going to have to consider whether the U.S. is beyond the rule of law,” said Dennis Edney, a Khadr attorney.

The lawyers cite violations of juvenile justice rules set out by the U.N. Convention on the Rights of the Child, noting that Khadr was a teenager when he was captured. They also point to international agreements on civil and political rights and the treatment of prisoners.

Canada’s Justice Department, in its brief to the court, dismissed the efforts by Khadr’s attorneys as a “fishing expedition in relation to the most sensitive of government-held information.”

Toronto terror plot detailed in court

Attack was to be bigger than London bombings, expected evidence shows

Dangerous nutroots: ISABEL TEOTONIO/Star reporter, is not worried: its all ‘alleged’, you see. Its all a ploy by the authorities to give Muslims and Islam a bad image…

The “shocking and sensational” inner workings of an alleged homegrown terror cell were unveiled yesterday in a Brampton court – and included the plotting of an attack “much greater” in scale than the London 2005 bombings that killed 52 people.

In a document made public for the first time, the Crown painted a broad picture of the expected evidence in the trial of a youth who pleaded not guilty to belonging to a terrorist group. The trial opened yesterday.

According to the allegations, the so-called Toronto 18 were attempting to secure a safe house to store weapons and practise military drills, and embarking on a mission to destroy the West – one they should be willing to die for.

Details of the alleged plot, which also included storming Parliament Hill and beheading politicians, emerged in a factum filed by the Crown that described the case against the accused as “shocking and sensational.”

The document contains transcripts of wiretaps and videotapes that include one conversation in which one of the accused speaks of the group’s ambitions.

* More bang for the buck:

“They’re probably expecting what happened in London or something,” he said. “… Some bombing in a subway kills 10 people and everybody gets deported. We’re not doing that. … So our thing it’s, it’s much, much greater on a scale … you do it once and you make sure they can never recover again.”

* Update:

“Rome has to be defeated…”

“Rome has to be defeated” doesn’t refer to an Italian plot, but to the necessity, as they see it, to take down the West, in accord with Muhammad’s prophecy that Constantinople would fall to Islam first, and then Rome.

“What happens, what happens at the Parliament?” “We go and kill everybody.”

An Update on the Toronto Jihad Plot. Oh, and by the way, has the Muslim community in Canada gotten around to instituting transparent, inspectable programs in every school and mosque teaching against the jihad ideology and Islamic supremacism? No? So then how can we be sure that there won’t be other such plots?

Bus driver wins Muslim hat dispute

* From the ‘Pushing the boundaries’ department:

TORONTO, March 26 (UPI) –– A suspended Toronto-area bus driver has been reinstated and allowed to wear his Muslim cap on the job, transit officials said.

York Region Transit, which operates north of Toronto, suspended McGregory Jackman without pay on March 17 for wearing a kufi, a traditional Muslim pill-box-like cap, the Toronto Sun reported.

The newly hired Trinidad native who said he converted to Islam in 2005 told the newspaper he thought he was within the rules based on a notice in the driver’s lounge which said, “except for religious observances, no headgear is permitted.”

Tuesday, York Region Transit General Manager Don Gordon said Jackman will be allowed to wear his kufi while working, and would be paid for the time he was suspended, the Sun said.

Jackman told the newspaper he was relieved but hadn’t received an apology.

Sada Cucumber

Losing Our Soul to the Islamintern

Describing unabashedly the purpose of the Koranic poll tax (as per Koran 9:29) of submission for non-Muslims brought under Islamic hegemony by jihad, Ibn Ajibah makes clear the ultimate goal of its imposition was to achieve what he called the death of the “soul”, through the dhimmi’s execution of their own humanity:

[The dhimmi] is commanded to put his soul, good fortune and desires to death. Above all he should kill the love of life, leadership and honor. [The dhimmi] is to invert the longings of his soul, he is to load it down more heavily than it can bear until it is completely submissive. Thereafter nothing will be unbearable for him. He will be indifferent to subjugation or might. Poverty and wealth will be the same to him; praise and insult will be the same; preventing and yielding will be the same; lost and found will be the same. Then, when all things are the same, it [the soul] will be submissive and yield willingly what it should give. [Tafsir ibn ‘Ajibah. Commentary on Q9:29. Ahmad ibn Muhammad Ibn `Ajibah]

Unless and until we are prepared to have our special envoy to the OIC speak candidly about this international Muslim religio-political organization’s complete failure to address how living, institutionalized Islamic doctrines and practices adversely impact the most fundamental human rights of both non-Muslims and Muslims, we should terminate this recently created position.

At stake is nothing less than our nation’s soul.

Intelligence chief says “several hundred” extremists living in Germany

Moe’s everyday struggle:

* An idiotic understatement, of course. But who wants to upset an increasingly irritated population?

The Associated Press

BERLIN: The head of Germany’s intelligence agency said that “several hundred” Muslim extremists are living in Germany and that al-Qaida is forming a strong base in North Africa, a German magazine reported Monday.

Ernst Uhrlau, who oversees the BND, the Germany intelligence agency, said that “up to 700 people are being surveilled, in different degrees,” according to an interview with Der Spiegel.

He was also quoted by the magazine as saying that “more than a dozen” of those people had made trips to Pakistan and Afghanistan to try to make contact with Islamic extremist groups operating there.

“Converts that end up in extremist groups often tend toward political renegades and absolute intolerance and highest radicalism,” Uhrlau was quoted as saying by the magazine for its special edition on Islam in Europe.

However, he also emphasized that most converts were “friendly people, who discovered Islam in searching for meaning for their lives.”

In the interview with the magazine, Uhrlau underlined that northern Africa was becoming a greater security risk.

The magazine quoted him as saying that German intelligence and security agencies had followed “with great concern” the activities of a “handful of groups” that have settled in the region.

“What’s growing there is bringing a brand new quality of jihad right to our front door,” he was quoted as saying by the magazine.
