* Its just amazing: if China was cracking down on Christians or Tibetans or Falun Gong  members, would they even notice? But when China gets tough on poor widdle Muslims there are American lawmakers who go apeshit. Now why would that be?

 

from AFP, July 12:

WASHINGTON (AFP) — US lawmakers on Friday “strongly condemned” what they called Beijing’s harsh pre-Olympic crackdown in China’s Muslim-populated far northwest Xinjiang region.

Republican US lawmaker Frank Wolf

The bipartisan leadership of the Congressional Human Rights Caucus in a statement cited “credible” reports about a July 9 conviction in a closed trial of 15 minority Muslim Uighurs on terrorism charges that led to “the immediate execution of two” of them.

Three others were given suspended death sentences and the remaining 10 received life imprisonment, it said.

These are “abuses of due process and rule of law,” said caucus co-chairmen Democrat Jim McGovern and Republican Frank Wolf.

With thanks to the Gates of Vienna:

A voice of sanity in Sweden?

Not possible, you say? Well, consider these words of a Swedish magistrate: 

“There has never been a multicultural society that worked — only in the minds of politicians.”      

You can’t get much saner than that. One can only hope that whatever virus has infected this woman spreads quickly to the entire population.

According to The Local:

Judge wrote anti-immigrant letters to Prime Minister   

  

Stockholm Mosque

 

A Swedish magistrate wrote anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim letters to Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt during a period in which she was judging in criminal cases involving immigrants, it has been revealed.

Bodil Schibli, who was a lay judge in Ystad District Court until February, wrote several letters to Reinfeldt imploring the government to “protect its own people” against “these fanatical immigrants, who really have no reason to be here, other than to be supported by taxpayers.”

According to SkÃ¥nska Dagbladet, she also wrote that Islam should be “forbidden from further spreading itself in our country.”

* Now watch the politically correct brain police come charging out:

Schibli sat on panels which passed judgements in a number of cases involving immigrants, including twelve cases in 2007.

Judge Ralf G Larsson, head of Ystad District Court, said it was unsuitable for a lay judge to write letters such as those written by Schibli.

“If this had come to my attention when she was still a lay judge, I would have had a serious talk with her,” he told SkÃ¥nska Dagbladet. Schibli resigned after falling asleep during a trial earlier this year.

Contacted by the paper on Thursday, Schibli was unrepentant. She insisted that she had always judged according to the law, not her own opinions. She also claimed that 90 percent of lay judges in Sweden shared her views.

“There has never been a multicultural society that worked — only in the minds of politicians,” she said.

Al Beebeceera in the Muslim pocket…

A BBC drama has triggered a barrage of complaints after it showed gruesome images of a Muslim being beheaded.

Bonekickers, about a group of archeological sleuths, depicted an extremist Christian decapitating a man with a sword.

The bloody scene has prompted 100 complaints since it was broadcast on BBC1 on Tuesday evening.

* Actually its far worse than comical: all of the seditious bastards at CAIR and their supporters should have been arrested long ago, and if it wasn’t for a treacherous judiciary that sabotages and perverts the law it might have happened already. 

The FBI’s outreach efforts to the Council on American-Islamic Relations have been counterproductive, according to an expert at a Senate hearing on countering violent Islamism who called the group an extension of the extremist Muslim Brotherhood.

* Update: Judge Orders Al-Arian’s Release on Bond

He agreed to testify, truthfully, about terror financing in the USA in exchange for being granted immunity from prosecution, then he refused to testify after being granted immunity. Then this appeasement Judge orders him released from custody pending further prosecution and deportation. What a farce America’s political and judicial system has become.

**** People like Brinkema will bring bring about the collapse of the US much sooner than any financial crisis….***

 

Although other witnesses told the Senate Homeland Security panel that communication with CAIR is beneficial, Zeyno Baran, senior fellow at the Hudson Institute, a conservative think tank, said its relationship with the FBI leaves agents ill-prepared to work with the American Muslim community.

“For months now, FBI agents have been trained by CAIR to be sensitive to Muslims,” she said. “This is completely self-defeating.”

Baran said she believes CAIR was founded by the Muslim Brotherhood to influence U.S. officials, and works not as a faith group but as one with a political agenda of Islamism, a philosophy that treats Islam as a political ideology.

Furthermore, she said, the group was among those named as unindicted co-conspirators in a recent federal case that charged the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development with providing millions of dollars and logistical support to the militant group Hamas.

Baran questioned how CAIR is defining proper respect for Muslims when it advises the FBI.

“The agents are going to be misinformed and they will be overly sensitive and they will not ask certain questions,” she said. Later in the hearing, she said CAIR “does not reflect the Muslim community as a faith community, but as a political group.” Continue reading FBI Outreach to CAIR 'Comical', sez Emerson

* France: “Muslim woman deemed too submissive to be French”

 

By Estelle Shirbon

PARIS (Reuters) – France has denied citizenship to a veiled Moroccan woman on the grounds that her “radical” practice of Islam is incompatible with basic French values such as equality of the sexes, a legal ruling showed on Friday.

The case will reignite debate about how to reconcile freedom of religion, which is guaranteed by the French constitution, and other fundamental rights, which many in France feel are being challenged by the way of life of some Muslims.

* Hint: killing unbelievers is exercising freedom of religion. When unbelievers forbid the wearing of hijab, burka, niquab etc. it is against freedom of religion and against human rights. Got it?

Sorry honey: you will never be French!

*  “The chief weapon in the quiver of all Islamist expansionist movements, is the absolute necessity to keep victims largely unaware of the actual theology plotting their demise. To complete this deception, a large body of ‘moderates’ continue to spew such ridiculous claims as “Islam means Peace” thereby keeping non-Muslims from actually reading the Qur’an, the Sira, the Hadith, or actually looking into the past 1400 years of history. Islamists also deny or dismiss the concept of ‘abrogation’, which is the universal intra-Islamic method of replacing slightly more tolerable aspects of the religion in favor of more violent demands for Muslims to slay and subdue infidels”

*  There is a whole army of Islamic apologists and liars in the West who become rather unhinged when knowledgable infidels, “Islamophobes”,  ask the wrong questions about the cult or the murderous ‘prophet’ who invented this horrid belief-system that shackles over one billion people. One of them is the very shrill and  hysterical Soumaya Ghannoushi who has been featured here repeatedly. As usual, that doesn’t stop the Guardian to provide a soapbox for her grievance theater:

 

Saying ‘Islamic threat’ over and over doesn’t make it real

* Creating myths:  “Not one Jew died [on 9/11]. That is what they say” Returning madrassa student tell about their indoctrination an a Paki-madrassa

Ghannoushi unhinged:

* Summaya paints a pussy on your cheek (if you let her)

Pick up any newspaper today in Britain or elsewhere in Europe, switch on the TV or tune in to any radio station, and you’re very likely to get the impression that “our societies” – if not western civilisation in its entirety – face an imminent Islamic threat, on a par with the old dangers of fascism. Since the terrorist bombings of New York, Madrid and London, the “fundamentalist peril” has become part of the air we breathe. It has become a rhetorical crutch for everyone from rightwing bigots to opportunistic politicians and repenting “former extremists”, each with their own agenda.

Iran: “The prisoner told his wife that there had been a misunderstanding and that he could not teach Christianity any more.”

The arrests of Mahmood Matin and Arash Bandari were part of a wave of detentions of Christians in Shiraz in mid-May. Here is more on their cases: “Iran: Ex-Muslims detained for ‘apostasy’,” from Compass Direct News, July 9:

ISTANBUL, July 9 (Compass Direct News) – Iranian authorities have detained two converts to Christianity in the southern city of Shiraz for eight weeks on suspicion of “apostasy,” or leaving Islam. In Iran, apostasy is a crime that can be punishable by death.

Mahmood Matin, 52, and Arash Bandari, 44, remain imprisoned in a secret police detention center known by its address, Sepah Street 100, located in the center of Shiraz since their arrest on May 15 (previously reported as May 13).

A draft penal code under discussion in Iran’s parliament this month may make the death penalty obligatory for those who leave Islam or use the Internet to encourage others to do so.

Actually, the parliament was reported to have approved it.

Pakistan: Christian girls kidnapped; captors file for custody, claiming girls converted to Islam

 

And the police weren’t about to be of any help without outside pressure: The girls’ father “was told to ‘remain silent,’ as the officers said the girls had embraced Islam in a written statement.”

“Pakistan: Girls kidnapped, allegedly forced to convert,” from Compass Direct News via DW

 

ISTANBUL, July 11 (Compass Direct News) – A Christian father in Pakistan is in a legal battle with kidnappers for the custody of his pre-teen daughters, who allegedly have been forced to convert to Islam.

Yesterday a judge in Pakistan’s Punjab province ordered further investigation into the kidnapping of Saba Younis, 12, and Aneela Younis, 10, who went missing on June 26 in the small town of Chowk Munda. The kidnappers filed for custody of the girls at the local police house on June 28, stating that the sisters had converted to Islam and their father no longer had jurisdiction over them.

Uighur Flag

 

BEIJING: Chinese authorities have replaced top police and security officials in the Muslim dominated Xinjiang province, which is the hotbed of separatism and political violence. They have also closed down 41 “illegal” places of worship. 

These places of worship were used as training ground for conducting a “holy war”, Chen Zhuangwei Chen, the police chief of Urumqi, capital of the Xinjiang province, said. Xinjiang, which borders central Asia and Pakistan, has been the scene of a pro-independence movement by a section of the eight million Uighurs living there for a long time.
