POLYGAMOUS marriage is flourishing in Britain as the Government admits for the first time that nearly a thousand men are living legally with multiple wives.

Although the families are entitled to claim social security for each wife, no one has counted how many of them are on benefits.

The separate practice of unauthorised polygamy is also believed to have become commonplace in some Muslim communities. The Ministry of Justice admits that it has no estimates of numbers for these unions, which are often presided over by an Islamic cleric.

A senior Conservative MP and immigration expert called for action yesterday to end the scandal of women being pressured into entering unrecognised marriages with no rights.

“The Government has no grip on the situation,” said Humphrey Malins, the former opposition home affairs spokesman and founder of the Immigration Advisory Service. “This is quite clearly exploitation of women.”

MPs and peers have struggled for years to extract figures from ministers about the extent of polygamy. The first official estimate was made in response to a Freedom of Information request by The Times asking for statistics on benefits that are paid to wives who share a husband.

“It is estimated that there are fewer than 1000 valid polygamous marriages in the UK, few of whom are claiming a state benefit,” the Department for Work and Pensions said.

The Government has long reassured parliament that its policy is to prevent the formation of multiple marriages by refusing to allow second wives entry into the country.

Under British law, husbands and wives can have only one spouse at a time. Multiple simultaneous marriages constitute bigamy, a criminal offence.

Britain does recognise polygamous marriages that have taken place in countries where the custom is legal, such as Pakistan and India.

Ayaan Hirsi Ali is visiting Australia under tight security to give two sold-out talks, and local Muslim groups are seething and issuing veiled threats (as usual):

Anti-Islamic writer stirs hatred, Muslims warn.

* Tell the truth about Islam and we will kill you. That’s what they really mean. Because that’s why Hirsi Ali needs 4 body guards at all times…

* Muslims think the real problem is what she says, rather than the threat to her life from bigots when she says it:

Where’s your hijab, Jamila?
University of Technology Sydney Islamic law lecturer Jamila Hussain said Hirsi Ali’s ideas were extreme and stigmatised Muslims.

* Jamila Hussein doesn’t think catmeat sheik Al Hilali’s or Feiz Mohammeds ideas are extreme. She doesn’t mention Nacer Benbrika either…

“I think she’d be better staying where she came from,” Ms Hussain said. “I’ve read enough of her thoughts. It’s a narrow and radical opinion, and I don’t agree with it. She’s obviously had some dreadful experiences, but they’re not typical.”

* Lipstick on a pig, the usual reaction…

In her writings, Hirsi Ali describes being circumcised as a young girl and how she escaped an arranged marriage.

Nada Roude, of the NSW Islamic Council, said Hirsi Ali’s comments on the prophet Mohammed were a “no-go zone”.

“They (prophets) are not just like you and me, they have special status – you’re supposed to show respect,” Ms Roude said. “There have to be boundaries in how far you go in respecting other’s beliefs. The reaction from the community is likely to be quite worrying.”

* Right. We should be shaking in our shoes, we should pay the the jiziyah, submit to Islam or die, right Nada? Or should we just be worried about terrorism?

Andrew Bolt comments:

Instead of seeing the “quite worrying” likely response from Muslims here to the exercise of free speech as the real problem, Roude quite typically reverses the blame, and claims the real problem is actually the woman who has had to live under police guard for four years.

She’s not a victim, after all. No, the victim is the Muslim community whose more extreme members have given her such reason to fear for her life, and whose leaders so often refuse to defend her right to speak, to visit and to live unmolested. Victimhood is once more triumphantly claimed by people who should instead examine their own illiberal culture:

Nada Roude is on record of stating on Australian TV that ‘Jihad is inner struggle”

Ms Roude said there seemed to be a double standard about who was allowed to visit Australia, particularly as Hirsi Ali’s visit appeared to have the potential to incite hatred.

* Ms Roude would love to have Muslims control the visa policy of Australia?

“Muslims are not treated the same,” she said. “There are a set of rules for one community and another for the rest of the community. Anyone who causes harm to our society because they have the right to express their opinion is not welcome.”

Translated? Shut up and you’ll be safe. Criticise Islam, and the consequences be on your head. No matter what we do to you, we are the victims.

This is mad. Consider: of the three people mentioned above – two Muslims and one non-Muslim – only one needs constant security. Who, then, is the true victim? Who has more to fear?

What Muslims really like to do…

Update:

* Further vilification, slander and ‘defensive’ action, otherwise known as kitman & taqiyya,- from the Religion of Peace: 

Hanifa Deen, a Melbourne author and Muslim feminist, said … “Sadly, Ali is alienating many Muslim women in the West, forcing them into defensive positions.” 

Hmm. Strange. Who has been ‘forced into a defensive position’- the Muslim or the non-Muslim? 

Women are losers in world of Islam, says author

* We reported this earlier here, but the Swiss are actually serious about it and seem to ignore the howling from the left and Al Bebeceera.

They do mean business:

The largest party in Switzerland’s Parliament, the Swiss People’s Party, is campaigning to ban the building of minarets on mosques, for the simple reason that they are political statements of Islamic supremacism:

Swiss move to ban minarets.

The BBC, of course, is aghast at this “extreme paranoia.” Never mind that the Islamists themselves say the minaret is a symbol of dominance.

“We don’t have anything against Muslims,” said Oskar Freysinger, member of parliament for the Swiss People’s Party. “But we don’t want minarets. The minaret is a symbol of a political and aggressive Islam, it’s a symbol of Islamic law. The minute you have minarets in Europe it means Islam will have taken over.”

Mr Freysinger’s words may sound extreme, even paranoid, but this is a general election year in Switzerland, and the campaign against minarets is playing well with voters. A recent opinion poll for one Swiss newspaper found that 43% of those surveyed were in favour of a ban on minarets.

“We have our civil laws here,” insisted Mr Freysinger. “Banning minarets would send a clear signal that our European laws, our Swiss laws, have to be accepted. And if you want to live here, you must accept them. If you don’t, then go back.”

* A far left professor adds the usual mental flatliner:

Professor of Islamic studies Reinhard Schulze warns that any hint that Muslims are not peaceful might result in violence. Better to let them have the minarets, so they don’t hurt us.

It’s a harsh message for Swiss Muslims, many of whom were born in Switzerland. There are fears that the campaign against minarets will provoke growing resentment against Swiss society.

* You don’t say! Who are those fearful people? Sheeple?

“I think Swiss Muslims will be angry and bitter over this,” said Reinhard Schulze, professor of Islamic Studies at Berne University. “And we know that anger and bitterness among a community can lead to radicalisation, even to militancy.”

* No doubt Reinhard Schulze has nothing to kill and die for like the Jihadists. No doubt Reinhard Schulze, like most on the far left, sees nothing wrong with an alien cult perverting his country, his civilization and the laws of the land.

Will the left ever learn to tolerate their own society?

Of course, mosques and minarets don’t come on their own: Its a package deal:

Belgians want Headscarf Ban

Increasing Anti-Dhimmitude in Europe:

Will the Islamophobia never end?

Via LGF: 

According to studies done by the Catholic University of Louvain-La-Neuve in Belgium, half of all Belgians would like to see the misogynistic symbol of Islamic oppression of women banned: ‘50 pc of Belgians want headscarf ban’.

The researchers, of course, conclude that this is due to “racism,” and re-education must be increased until the mindcrimes stop.

LOUVAIN-LA-NEUVE – One in three people in Belgium is bothered by women wearing headscarves in public places. Just over half even would prefer that they be banned in certain places. Intolerance and racism are at the root of these negative views on headscarves.

This was the conclusion drawn by the religious faculty’s centre for psychology at the Catholic University of Louvain-La-Neuve after two studies into the Belgians’ attitude towards headscarves.

Some 69 percent of those asked see the headscarf as a sign of oppression and 53.3 percent thinks wearing one goes entirely against modern western values. Some 44.6 percent are disturbed by someone wearing a headscarf at school.

The researchers said that this study is evidence that society still has a long way to go in the fight against racism and intolerance.

* The Islamic claim on Spain is as real as the threat to Israel: Land, once conquered by Islam must never be given back to the infidels

A jihad recruitment ring has been broken in Spain:

Spain arrests 15 over recruiting Islamist fighters.

MADRID (Reuters) – Spanish police said on Monday they had arrested 15 people suspected of recruiting Islamic fighters for Iraq and North Africa.

The 13 Moroccans and two Algerians are alleged to have indoctrinated others with radical Islamic teachings and glorified “jihad,” or holy war, the ministry said in a statement. “Moreover, it (the group) was allegedly linked with the financing and sending of combatants to different terrorist organisations in North Africa and other countries in conflict like Iraq.”

Police arrested 12 in Barcelona and nearby towns, while another two were detained in Aranjuez, 50 km (30 miles) south of Madrid, and one in the resort city of Malaga. Documents, diaries, computers, mobile telephones and papers related to jihad were seized, in an operation that police said was connected to the arrest of 22 jihadists in January.

Journalist Bruno Cardenosa says there’s nothing to worry about.

Bruno Cardenosa, a Spanish journalist who writes about international terrorism, said the arrests did not indicate a major threat to Spain from Muslim militants.

“We have seen several operations against Islamic terrorism in Spain in recent years, in which the charges have not been that serious. Very probably, most of these suspects will be out in the coming hours or days,” said Cardenosa.

* Amazing. We never seem to run out of Islamic terrorists and Jackass journo’s. They must be breeding like rabbits…

Meanwhile, in the real world:

“Fatah al-Islam consists of ‘various Arab nationalities”

Fatah al-Islam is made up of a few hundred Islamist extremists of various Arab nationalities and is said to be inspired by the Al-Qaeda network of Osama bin Laden.

The Saudi ambassador to Lebanon, Abdul Aziz Khoja, told the London-based Al-Hayat newspaper: “Up to now, four Saudis have been killed in the ongoing clashes between the Lebanese army and the Fatah al-Islam group, but they have yet to be identified.

* Perhaps. Perhaps not.

Could it be that there is widespread consent amongst the Muslim community to spread Islam-terror in Australia? Violent jihad is a constant of Islamic history, terror the chosen strategy since 1400 years. War against unbelievers, Jews and ‘polytheists is a clear mandate in the Koran.

By Richard Kerbaj, The Australian

MUSLIMS are refusing to give national security authorities counter-terrorism tip-offs, fearing they may implicate themselves or be labelled traitors by fellow community members.
Muslim leaders yesterday warned the Howard Government’s hard line on Islamic extremists was largely to blame for the failure of agencies, such as ASIO and the Australian Federal Police, to attract Arabic and Islamic recruits.

* In other words: Fighting crime creates more crime. Some kind of logic, that.

Community sources have told The Australian that the AFP and ASIO were desperately reaching out to senior Islamic leaders to help find recruits.

* Fat chance.

Intelligence sources also said negative attitudes held by Muslims towards national security agencies were hampering attempts to attract recruits.

Sydney-based Muslim leader Fadi Rahman said there was a lack of trust in national security agencies, stopping people from offering sensitive information and considering counter-terrorism careers.

* Who is stopping them, Fadi? The clerics?

“At the moment they (ASIO) are marketed as an organisation that if (any Muslim) was to go near it you’re basically going to get arrested,” the Independent Centre for Research Australia president said.

* My bullshit sensor just exploded!

A founding member of the Muslim Doctors Against Violence, Jamal Rifi, said police and spy agencies were often perceived to be anti-Islam. He said Muslims who dealt with the authorities were considered “traitors” and “non-believers”.

* There is more truth in that statement than what the good doctor Jamal intended to reveal.

“(Intelligence) is a taboo subject that nobody talks about in the community,” he said. “Boys and girls are not even allowed to think of it as a future career.”

* Hmm, wonder why that is?

Dr Rifi said the authorities’ heavy-handed approach against terrorism was being exploited by extremist clerics who told their followers that mainstream Australia was against them.

* Why doesn’t the good doctor tell us who these ‘extremist clerics’ are who exploit their followers?

Fewer than a dozen fluent Arabic speakers are believed to be working inside intelligence and security agencies. This is exacerbated by the difficulty in obtaining timely security clearances because ASIO is required to delve deep into their past, including time spent in the Middle East.

* Nothing that can’t be fixed. Coptic Christians and Jews from the Middle East could easily be recruited. Where is the political will?

Blogger Sued for Publishing Stories About Muslims linked to Terror

If the Muslims get away with this “test case”, it will shut us all down. The intrepid blogger and PI (and valued Atlas source) has been sued for publishing stories about Muslims with ties to Islamic terror. News stories already published in the mainstream media. Warner obviously hit a nerve. This is the next nefarious step in the litigation jihad. Warner must prevail. This wreaks of CAIR. Their tactics are written all over it. How is this different than the CAIR lawsuit against the Jane/John Does on the US Airways flight that reported the belligerent, aggressive behavior of the six imams?) Perhaps we need legislation to protect us (what happened to free speech?)
Bill Warner writes me the following;

Blogger sued and facing an injunction to cease and desist publishing stories about Muslims linked to terrorism

This is a serious threat to First Amendement rights of Freedom of Speach for bloggers and news reporters everywhere, and if I lose the law suit and the injunction is enforced, it will set a precedent for future law suits and injunctions to be imposed on any blogger or news reporter who writes about Muslims linked to terrorism.

* Not a word, not a whisper from AI’s Irene “Gulag” Khan, for whom Muslims can do no wrong: The ordeal of the 5 Bulgarian nurses who are falsely accused, tortured and incarcerated in Ghaddfi’s Libya continues:

Five Bulgarian nurses and a Palestinian doctor — who face a death sentence for injecting Libyan children with HIV-tainted blood — attend a court hearing in February 2007. A Libyan court has acquitted all six of charges of slandering policemen by protesting that confessions that had landed them on death row had been tortured from them.(AFP/File/Mahmud Turkia)

By Afaf Geblawi AFP

A Libyan court acquitted five Bulgarian nurses and a Palestinian medic on Sunday of charges of slandering policemen by protesting that their confessions had been extracted under torture.

The ruling came just hours after an organisation headed by a son of Libyan leader Moamer Kadhafi said the whole saga may soon be resolved.

At a hearing that lasted less than a minute during which the six defendants were not present, judge Salem al-Homari announced they had been found not guilty and ordered the plaintiffs to pay the legal costs.

Nurses’ lawyer Othman al-Bizanti welcomed the ruling and told AFP the charges had been “unfounded”, but one of the two plaintiffs, Jomaa al-Mishri, said it was taken under political pressure and that he would appeal.

The five nurses — Kristiana Valcheva, Nassia Nenova, Valia Cherveniachka, Valentina Siropoulo and Snejana Dimitrova — and doctor Ashraf Ahmed Juma had faced a maximum penalty of three years in prison.

The six have already been in custody for eight years and were condemned to death in May 2004 on charges of deliberately injecting more than 400 Libyan children with HIV, which can cause AIDS, at a hospital in the city of Benghazi.

The verdict was upheld last December but a final appeal, originally set for earlier this month, is due to open soon.

Bulgaria hailed Sunday’s acquittal but called on Libya to quickly release the medics.

“We are satisfied with the court’s decision. However, the trial that has just been concluded has not helped in solving the main case,” foreign ministry spokesman Dimitar Tsanchev told AFP in Sofia.

But the husband of one of the nurses, Bulgarian doctor Zdravko Georgiev, said from Tripoli: “If they did not slander, they therefore told the truth” and the death sentences would be overturned.

Georgiev was detained with the nurses until 2004 and then acquitted, but he is still not allowed to leave Libya.

The six accused said that their “confessions” in the HIV trial were forced from them under torture, including beatings, electric shocks and being threatened with dogs.

* The despicable Hitlerite Mugabe who ruined Rhodesia, expropriated white farmers, and along with businessmen and administrators drove them from the country, turned a food exporting African country into an aid dependent hell-hole called Zimbabwe. Mugabe and his henchmen are now making sure that the law of the jungle is the only law besides their despotism :

ZIMBABWEAN President Robert Mugabe plans to seize majority stakes in all his country’s foreign-owned businesses in what economists warn could be a repeat of the disastrous land-reform policy.

* As usual, organizations like the UN & AI are silent and blame the US and other civilized countries in the West for not allowing mass migration of Muslims to further the global jihad. For Irene “Gulag” Khan from AI there is no difference between Australia’s PM John Howard and Mugabe. The left seems to have no problem with that, since they either support this madness or simply shrug it off.

“The President made it clear, when cabinet approved the bill to be tabled before Parliament, that the time had come to empower our people. He said the indigenisation exercise must be undertaken in the same fashion as the land-reform program.”

A spokesman for Barclays, which has 29 branches in Zimbabwe, said: “We are currently assessing the potential impact of the proposed legislation on our business in Zimbabwe. It is early days and the proposed bill may not become law.”

Other companies likely to be targeted are BP, British American Tobacco and Unilever.

Video: Death Cult Children’s Theater

From LGF

Uploaded to YouTube by a Hamas supporter last April, this is one of the most unbelievably evil videos I’ve ever seen.

It’s a home movie from hell, featuring a group of young girls dressed as suicide bombers and terrorists, waving knives and guns and holding dolls, performing a school play somewhere in Gaza. A doting father carefully adjusts his daughter’s suicide bomb belt so it will look just right for the performance.

Absolutely monstrous.

In this still from the video, one little girl dressed as a suicide bomber has her hands painted red to symbolize blood, in a scene that’s probably meant to invoke the horrific lynching of two Israelis in Ramalla

The result of this genocidal indoctrination can be seen here. Warning: Very Graphic Images!

AS IRAN ENRICHES URANIUM

Before:

After:

Iran’s president is at it again, threatening Israel with destruction should it intervene in Lebanon again. The bellicosity comes as the UN nuclear watchdog warns that Iran may be as little as three years away from a nuclear weapon.

REUTERS

It’s hardly surprising any more when Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad threatens Israel with destruction. It wasn’t so long ago that he suggested the country be moved to Alaska. Or just wiped off the map.
But in a Thursday speech at Isfahan broadcast on state television, he issued a threat more direct than any that had come before. If Israel, he said, were to go to war against Lebanon again this summer, it would be destroyed.

“If this year you repeat the same mistake of the last year,” the Iranian president intoned, “the ocean of nations of the region will get angry and will cut the root of the Zionist regime from its stem.”

The speech came just hours after a report by the UN’s nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), warning that Iran’s ongoing enrichment of uranium meant that the country could have a nuclear bomb within three to eight years.

The IAEA report just came in time for the UN Security Council to impose a third round of sanctions on Tehran for its lack of transparency in what Iranian leaders insist is a peaceful nuclear program. Ahmadinejad flaunted the threat of sanctions in his Thursday speech. “The enemy wants Iran to surrender so it won’t have any say in the world,” he told a gathering of Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guards. “If we stop (the nuclear program) for a while, they (Iran’s enemies) will achieve their goals.”

In his speech, Ahmadinejad also referenced recent violence in the Gaza strip. “If you think that by bombing and assassinating Palestinian leaders,” he said addressing Israel, “you are preparing ground for new attacks on Lebanon in the summer, I am telling you that you are seriously wrong.”

He went on to reference Israeli history. “Sixty years of invasion and assassination are enough. If you do not cease invasion and massacre, soon the hand of power of the nations of the region will rub you criminals with Earth,” he said.

Israeli experts have been talking for months about the possibility of another war with Lebanon this summer, but it was seen as unlikely because last July’s conflict with Hezbollah was so inconclusive.

‘Comprehensive Dialogue’

Thursday’s IAEA report mentioned diagrams in Iran’s possession — among other suspicious documents — showing how to shape uranium so it would fit into warheads. Otherwise it was brief, and noted for the first time that the IAEA’s understanding of some aspects of Iran’s nuclear program was “deteriorating.”

The IAEA’s chief, Mohamed ElBaradei, said it was probably too late to force Iran to freeze enrichment. He suggested Iran should be allowed to keep some elements of its enrichment program and recommended “a comprehensive dialogue” as a way to keep Tehran from joining the nuclear-weapons club.

* Mohammed El Baradei clearly failed in his duty to warn the world in time. He should have been sacked way back when his incompetence showed that he is not up to the job.

On Monday, US and Iranian diplomats are scheduled to hold direct talks in Baghdad on how to stabilize Iraq. Nuclear weapons won’t be part of the talks officially, and in the meantime the Pentagon has sent two aircraft carriers and seven other warships to the Persian Gulf as a show of force. Iran has also detained at least two prominent American-Iranian citizens.
ElBaradei on Thursday advised the US to tone down its rhetoric against Iran. But an under secretary of state for policy in Washington, R. Nicholas Burns, spoke freely to the Associated Press. “Iran is out of compliance,” he said. “Iran is thumbing its nose at the international community. We’re not going to accept limited enrichment, not going to accept that 1,300 centrifuges (in Iran) can continue to spin.”

UN Security Council consultations on new sanctions were likely within days, according to AP.
