PRIME Minister Kevin Rudd says Malaysia is a vibrant and flourishing democracy, although he avoided meeting a politician regarded as the country’s de facto opposition leader.

Mr Rudd said yesterday that the strength of democracy in Malaysia was a “great testament to the political wisdom of the people of this country”.

“Democracy is not just alive and well in Malaysia but flourishing,” Mr Rudd said after meeting his Malaysian counterpart, Prime Minister Abdullah Badawi.

Hazel Blears will go on an international tour to find 'moderate Islam'

* If it wasn’t so utterly idiotic you could call it comedy:

Fox-chicken-coop alert: your tax-pounds and shillings at work!

 

The government is to sponsor a theological board of leading imams and Muslim women in an attempt to refute the ideology of violent extremists. (words fail me!)

The committee, to be announced this week, will issue pronouncements on areas such as wearing the hijab and the treatment of wives and is part of a government strategy to counter radicalism.

* Chasing ‘moderate’ Koranimals?

It will rule on interpretation of the Koran and promote the moderate strain of Islam practised by most British Muslims.  (????)  It will also comment on controversial issues affecting Muslims living in Britain, including whether or not they should serve in the armed forces.

* WoJ definition of ‘moderate Muslim’ is one who watches while a ‘radical’ cuts your throat…

US, EU, others pledge 1.2 billion in donations for Islamic Kosovo

* That’s right. The Christian Serbs get S#*t…

from PR Inside

 

BRUSSELS, Belgium (AP) – Kosovo received a total of ¤1.2 billion (US$1.9 billion) in pledges from international donors, including the United States and the European Union, on Friday to help build much needed infrastructure and democratic institutions and to foster economic growth.

* Bosnian Serbs remember relatives killed in civil war


Kosovo Prime Minister Hashim Thaci said his country «scored an extraordinary success» at the conference of 37 countries and 16 international organizations, including the United Nations and the World 
Bank.
The conference was the first time international donors had the opportunity to back their recognition of Kosovo’s independence from Serbia with financial aid, after it declared itself sovereign in February.
Thaci told donors after their day-long pledging meeting that their aid would «open the chapter of economic development of Kosovo.
He assured donors that their money would be used wisely, based on an internationally backed reform plan, which aims to build much needed roads, schools, electricity plants and to train police and judges _ all aimed at making Kosovo a stand-alone country. A large chunk of the aid also will help to reduced Kosovo’s shared 
debt inherited by states that once made up Yugoslavia and Serbia.

* You can have any religion as long as its Islam:


«Your 
investment in Kosovo is an investment to build a modern country and a multi-ethnic society,» Thaci said.

* Yep. “You pay, we play…”

Cherie BLiar is a victim also!

A case for ‘pastor’ Jeremiah Wright: ‘the chickens are coming home to rrroooosst!”

Cherie Blair admitted yesterday that she fears for the safety of her children when they go out on the streets. She also claimed that government figures drastically underestimate the scale of knife crime among children in Britain. Is Mrs Blair right about the scale of knife crime – or is she exaggerating the dangers? Let us know what you think.

From the Independent:

One comment is already in:

MRS BLAIR

YOU ARE A HYPOCRITE.

YOU AND YOUR CHAMPAGNE-SWILLING ‘HUMAN RIGHTS’ LAWYER FRIENDS HAVE DEFENDED THESE LITTLE SCUMBAGS IN THE PAST AND MADE A FINE LIVING FROM IT AT THE TAXPAYERS EXPENSE.

YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW.

UNFORTUNATELY SO DO THE REST OF US.

Switzerland in deep Doudou over 'Racism'

* This is how the politically correct multiculti-elitists pervert language and conflate racism and ideology:

“Racism row in Switzerland over minaret ban referendum”

Another racism row flared up in Switzerland after the country’s far-right party managed to trigger a referendum on banning minarets in the country.

*   “Racism row?’ How did Islam become a ‘race?’ And what makes those opposing a mysogynistic death- cult “far-right?’

The demand for a popular vote was driven by the nationalist Swiss People’s Party (SVP), which used an image of a white sheep kicking a black sheep off the Swiss flag to illustrate its anti-immigration policies in last year’s election campaign. The party managed to get more than 100,000 signatures on a petition calling for the ban, thus forcing the vote.

*  Quote of the day: Islamophobe (is-slahm-o-fohb) – A non-Muslim who knows too much about Islam.

There are just two minarets at mosques in Switzerland, neither of which broadcasts calls to prayer, and a further three under consideration. Muslims account for about 310,000 people out of a population of 7.5 million.

* The People vs the Minaret

But the controversy has echoes of a debate that has seen campaigns across Europe against minarets being built at mosques in Sweden, France, Italy, Austria, Greece, Germany and Slovenia. In Cologne, plans to expand the Ditib Mosque with a dome and two 54-metre minarets triggered an angry response from right-wing groups and the city’s Catholic archbishop.

Bunglawussi Attacks Bat Ye'or

 

“The paranoid ravings of Bat Ye’or”

* Note that the comical Pakistani lookalike of “Mr Bean”,  Inayat Bunglawala,  (spokesman for the MCB)  makes sure that Bat Ye’or’s real name is clearly mentioned, so that every halal-butcher can sharpen his knifes and go look for her.

Nice, isn’t he?

batyeor.jpg

The Jerusalem Post interviews Gisèle Littman, aka Bat Ye’or, who expounds her familiar conspiracy fantasy about the Islamic takeover of Europe, with the Organisation of the Islamic Conference playing the role of the Learned Elders of Zion:

BAT YEOR. “The whole Muslim world is becoming more and more radicalized  more rooted in Sharia, and less open to anything outside the religion.”

 

“As for OIC influence on Europe: It is visible in immigration policy toward Muslims, and in the Muslims’ refusal to integrate into European societies. The OIC considers nationalist-European movements, European history, European culture, European religions and European languages as Islamophobic. Why? Because Europeans have begun to feel that they are losing their own identity, due to their efforts to welcome immigrants who don’t want to integrate….

“Europeans fear losing their historical and cultural assets – particularly those of democracy and human rights – to Shari’a law. They want one law for everybody – and it’s not Shari’a, which involves things like honor killings. It is thus that in all international forums, the OIC attacks Europe and demands that it apply multiculturalism.

“Now, Europeans do not want multiculturalism. But this is a problem, because European governments – and especially the European Union – do not want to fight the OIC, and so they collaborate with it…. The environment is one of jihad on the one hand and of dhimmitude on the other. European countries are becoming dhimmi countries…. Muslim politics are conducted in Europe by Europeans themselves, based on the interests of Muslim lobbyists.”

The tentacles of these Muslim lobbyists apparently reach into all areas of society, including the education system: “European universities – like those in America – are totally controlled by the Arab-Islamic lobby, as are the schools.”

Still, all is not lost: “Look what Europe has given to the world: democracy and human rights, the love of peace. Look at its achievements in the field of literature, music, law, architecture. There is a tremendous richness. But we have to fight for all those values and accomplishments. Otherwise, we will be living as dhimmis in barbarity.”

* This, in the world of the Bungla, are ‘paranoid ravings?’ What, pray-tell, Mr Bunglawussi: what is incorrect about the above? We’re dying to know, literally…

Italy: Mosques must recognize Israel

* From the totally impartial and unbiased Press-TV

Italy may take its discriminatory practices to a new level, calling for measures to make mosque leaders quit unless they recognize Israel. 

Action must be taken so that mosque supervisors recognize Israel, said European Affairs Minister Andrea Rochi. (pictured)

* Rome blasts EU Resolution on Gypsies

* EU Lawmakers Press Italy to Stop Fingerprinting Roma


We must force those who do not recognize Israel to leave the mosques, he added, according to Italian news agency Il Tempo. 

Criticism has been leveled at Italy as it has failed to end fingerprinting gypsies as part of a census program, despite a European Parliament (EP) recommendation to stop. 

Many Muslims around the world do not recognize Israel, saying the United Nations had no right to allow the establishment of a state in a land that has long belonged to the Palestinians.  (Question: who are the ‘Palistnians?’ What is their historical background? Where there any Palistanians before 1967?)

Spencer: About Free Speech and "Respecting the Koran"

 

Ingrid Mattson vs. Freedom of Speech

In a guest column for IPT News, I discuss some seemingly moderate statements by ISNA’s Ingrid Mattson that look less moderate the more one examines them (news links in the original):

In her statement on Geert Wilders’ film Fitna, “Respecting the Qur’an,” Ingrid Mattson, President of the Islamic Society of North America, seems to strike a responsible note of Islamic moderation.[1] While in Karachi, jihadists chanted “Death to the filmmaker” and a Jordanian group called for an international arrest warrant against Wilders, Mattson – writing before the film was released — appeared to be much more reasonable.[2] Yet the full import of what she says about Wilders and the film is ominous in its implications for the survival of free speech and free societies.
