* Remember: Yvonne Ridley, ex-journo and former Taliban hostage, tells Muslims in Britain not to cooperate with police and raves how she learned to love her captors, so much that she converted to Islam, wraps a towel ’round her head and calls everyone a ‘racist’ who criticizes her new found ‘religion’. This crackerbox is now on a speaking-tour to ‘progressive’ US universities where they allow her to do da’awa, her Islamic duty to call the infidels to Islam.

* You can see from her background where the mental baggage comes from:

Ridley has been married three times. Her first husband was Daoud Zaaroura, a former Palestine Liberation Organization officer. Zaaroura was a PLO colonel when Ridley met him in Cyprus, where she was working on an assignment for the Newcastle-based Sunday Sun. They had one daughter who was born in 1995.[1] Her third husband was Iraqi-born businessman, Ilan Roni Hermosh[2], to whom she was married until 1999.

Above we have a youtube clip via Red County with Ridley doing her thing.

Taslima Nasreen update:

Exiled Bangladeshi writer asked to leave western Indian city fearing attacks by Muslims

* What’s right is wrong and good is bad: Indian authorities order Talima to leave for fear of Muhammedan riots:

NEW DELHI: A controversial Bangladeshi author was sent to the Indian capital under armed escort Friday after authorities ordered her to leave western Rajasthan state fearing violence by Muslims who accused her of insulting Islam.

Taslima Nasrin, who fled Bangladesh in 1994 after Islamic extremists threatened to kill her, has lived in the eastern city of Calcutta for the last two years but left Thursday after members of the All India Minorities Forum led angry protests against her a day earlier and demanded her deportation from the city.

Idrees Ali, a forum leader, accused Nasrin of hurting the religious sentiments of Muslims through her writings.

* If the Indian police had any guts they would tell Idrees Ali to shove his religious feelings and to get stuffed real quick before he gets hurt. But don’t hold your breath…

Well, Ashgar, maybe if you’d stop blowing stuff up perhaps your ass wouldn’t be on the line for internment and deportation. But keep doing what your religion commands you to do and you’ll see that Brit’s will turn the heat on…

* This whole thing is dead in the water because the Pal’s have nothing to give and never complied with anything they ever signed. So now its all about Condi trying to pressure Israel into collective suicide. Chances are that with Israel’s current leadership who is ‘tired of winning’ they might just go for it:

Arab League Secretary General Amr Moussa, right, Palestinian Authority president Mahmoud Abbas, center and Foreign Minister of Saudi Arabia Prince Saud Al Faysal attend Arab foreign ministers meeting at the Arab League headquarters in Cairo, Egypt Friday

By SALAH NASRAWI, Associated Press Writer

Saudi Arabia and other Arab nations grudgingly agreed Friday to attend next week’s U.S.-sponsored Mideast peace conference, despite failing to get any guarantee of Israeli concessions.

In a sign of the skepticism, even among close U.S. allies, the Saudi foreign minister cautioned that there would be no public handshakes with Israeli officials at the gathering Tuesday in Annapolis, Md.

Arab leaders made clear they were on board in part to ensure that Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas does not make any damaging concessions to Israel in any negotiations on a final peace deal. Israel has dangled the possibility of an accord as early as the end of 2008.

Asked if Abbas has a free rein to negotiate a deal, Arab League chief Amr Moussa underlined that Arab countries would not back an agreement deal that did not meet an Arab peace plan calling for a return of all lands Israel seized in the 1967 war.

“I repeat again and again that we are governed by the Arab initiative in all behaviors and … and in our agreement to end the Arab-Israeli conflict,” he told reporters after the foreign ministers of the league’s member states decided to go to Annapolis.

Arab countries — particularly Saudi Arabia, which has no diplomatic relations with Israel — have worried that the conference would corner them into a high-profile meeting with Israel without securing any commitments about the future shape of a peace deal.

Saudi Foreign Minister Saud al-Faisal said that while he was going to Annapolis, he would not join in any Arab-Israeli handshakes like those stage-managed by U.S. officials at past conferences, such as the one between Yitzhak Rabin and Yasser Arafat in 1993.

“We are not prepared to take part in a theatrical show, in handshakes and meetings that don’t express political positions. We are going with seriousness and we work on the same seriousness and credibility,” he said after the meeting.

*There’s a method in the madness. But the Bush administration and the current Israeli government don’t understand the concept of Muhammedan warfare and Islamic jihad and con’t bother to study it.

Otherwise this charade wouldn’t be happening in front of us…

* Think the Arabs will touch this..?

American Folly

“As bad as it might look from the outside, the truth is 10 times worse. This is a nightmare. The Americans have never been so hostile.”

“……the Americans have sided with the Palestinians against Israel”.

Nelson comments:

* Arab-Muslim opposition to Israel’s existence is based entirely on their religious belief that Israel is “on Arab land.”

“of course all Jews are unclean pigs – just as it says in the Koran”

Let’s be fair, the Quran says some (scroll to 5:60) Jews were turned into pigs — and don’t forget, monkeys, too (also, 2:65, 7:166). And Muhammed in the Hadith (Sahih Muslim, Bk 42) says some Jews became rats (scroll down to #7135).

Jeff Robbins from the Australian tries to sympathize with Israel and the Americans, but gets it all wrong like so many before him:

Arabs’ wilful neglect deepens Israeli misery

thanks to Rosie

It was the Arab bloc, including the Palestinian leadership, that decided to reject the UN’s 1947 partition of Palestine into two states, Arab and Jewish, living side by side.

Instead, it invaded the nascent Jewish state rather than choosing to co-exist with it, spawning the conflict that has so burdened the world for the past 60 years.

* Indeed. But the correct answer for this can easily be found in the Koran and the sunnah, in the tenets and atmospherics of Islam, where it states clearly that land once conquered by Islam must never be given back to infidels or, in this case the reviled Jews. The answer can also be found in the Koranic concept of war here, and failing to familiarize themselves with these scriptures, by which every Muslim is bound, will bring many more failures. A piece of paper signed by Arab Muslims is worthless, because Allah has already absolved them of their vows. And last not least it will not end with Israel being destroyed, it will simply encourage more jihad against the West, for example against Spain, Al Andaluz as the Muslims call it, for the same reason: because land once conquered belongs to the ummah forever and the believers are commanded to kill and die for the reconquest. That’s the crux of the biscuit, to be ignored at our peril. Here is more by the eminent scholar Hugh Fitzgerald:

Islam, said Muhammad, is “to dominate and not to be dominated.” No land once part of dar al-Islam can ever fall under Infidel control again. The whole world belongs to Allah, and to his people, the Believers, but pride of place must go to the territories once conquered by the forces of Islam. The land on which Israel now sits, and other lands, including the Balkans, much of south-central Europe, much of Russia, most of India, and of course Spain, were once all part of dar al-Islam, and must be returned to it. But Israel, an Infidel sovereign state run by the despised Jews, and sitting smack in the middle of dar al-Islam, is particularly disturbing. If it remains a sovereign state, not only is land once Muslim not yet regained (as the whole world will eventually be either regained, or gained, for Islam), but the non-Muslims in it will not be living as dhimmis, subject to Muslim rule, and owing whatever rights they have to Muslims. Infidels can be permitted to exist only as dhimmis, and in such a non-Muslim state as Israel they would no longer be dhimmis. This is impossible for the Muslims….

* The multiculti-diversity fascists, the red-brown-green alliance, are fuming (as always) and project their very own hatred and accusations at her, while AP supports the lunatic fringe totally:

COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) – Raving xenophobe or fearless defender of Danish values

* Note that AP didn’t even bother to put a question mark behind what has now become a statement…

Nationalist leader Pia Kjaersgaard’s anti-Muslim outbursts have earned her many labels _ and many votes.
Despite predictions of her populist Danish People’s Party’s demise, Kjaersgaard remains a powerful force in domestic politics after winning 14 percent of the vote in last week’s election.
«The most important thing for the Danish People’s Party is to maintain the Danish identity,» Kjaersgaard, 60, told The Associated Press in an interview.

«I am convinced that the Islamists want to sneak Sharia (Islamic law) through the back door, that they want to combat Western society and they want Islam to become the main religion,» she said.

* Pia is just repeting what the sodiers of Allah are saying all the time. How does that make her a xenophobe?
Her party _ Denmark’s third biggest _ has held the role of kingmaker since 2001, giving the center-right government the backing it needs for a majority in Parliament.

In return, Kjaersgaard has been able to press the government to adopt some of Europe’s strictest immigration laws, which she says have been instrumental in stemming the inflow of Muslims with radical views.
There are an estimated 200,000 Muslims among Denmark’s 5.4 million residents.
«The individual Muslim has never been a problem for Danish society. But their number has,» Kjaersgaard told AP in her office, decorated with Danish flags and paintings depicting Danish landscapes.

*
To emphasize her point, she said she shops at a grocery store owned by a Turkish Kurd who respects Danish laws and culture.
«He has a lot of great stuff _ fruits, vegetables _ and he’s a good friend of mine,» Kjaersgaard said.

*
The flow of asylum-seekers has dropped by 84 percent since Denmark tightened its immigration laws in 2001. There is now broad agreement across party lines to maintain the system.

*
But critics say the Danish People’s Party has polarized Danish society by bashing Islam and stereotyping immigrants as welfare cheats.
«She is a scare-mongering populist and opportunist,» said Holger K. Nielsen of the left-wing opposition Socialist People’s Party. He added Kjaersgaard was a skillful politician who has tapped into undercurrents of nationalism and worries over immigration among Danes.

* Of course the socialists need the Muhammedan migrant vote to push their own agenda, so they don’t like what’s happening here at all…they would love to import more of them…

During last year’s uproar over Danish caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad, Kjaersgaard and other leading party members took turns blasting Islam as incompatible with Danish traditions including free speech.
Ahead of the Nov. 13 election, one of the party’s campaign posters showed an artist’s hand drawing a picture of Muhammad, with the text

Freedom of speech is Danish, censorship is not.

«Sometimes I wonder what other people think about me _ ‘is she a monster?»’ Kjaersgaard conceded in a moment of introspection. «I need to brush these things off, otherwise I will go down.

Kjaersgaard, who lives with round-the-clock police protection, quickly added she has no regrets about anything she has said.

* Round the clock police protection? Why would she need that? Isn’t Islam a ‘Religion of Peace?’

She rejects accusations of racism and comparisons to far-right parties across Europe such as the National Front in France.
«There is nothing racist about what I have said, I know that. I have a clean conscience,» she said. «My driving force is the love for my home country. … I want Denmark to be a safe and good and cozy nation that has a good relationship to the rest of the world.

When asked if she thought Islam can contribute to Danish society in any way, she replied: «I don’t think so at all.”

* She has a valid point.

Third-world immigrants – most of them Muslims from countries such as Turkey, Somalia, Pakistan, Lebanon and Iraq – constitute 5 percent of the population but consume upwards of 40 percent of the welfare spending.

Denmark convicts men in bomb plot

Just joking: the result of Islamic jokes in Iraq

* Another bullshit headline from Al Bebeeceera. They are ‘men’- you see? What kind of men? Babtists, Mormons, Buddhists or Amish? Now how are we going to know that it is the MUHAMMEDANS once again?

* They were just joking! You can laugh! Hahahaha!

A court in the Danish capital, Copenhagen, has handed down sentences of up to 11 years to three men convicted of planning bomb attacks.
Mohammed Zaher, Abdallah Andersen and Ahmad Khaldhahi were part of a group of four arrested after a raid in the city of Odense last year.

Chemicals used to make explosives were found at one of the men’s homes, the court heard.

The men had also been recorded discussing targets to attack.

Zaher and Khaldhahi were sentenced to 11 years in jail, while Andersen received a sentence of four years.

The fourth man, Riad Anwar Daabas, was acquitted by the court.

Denmark’s military contribution to the US-led campaign in Iraq has prompted fears it could be targeted by militants.

Last year, the country was also the focus of worldwide protests by Muslims, who were angered by a Danish newspaper’s publication of cartoons depicting the Prophet Muhammad.

* Notice how AlBebeeceera dutifully puts the ‘prophet’ in front of Mohammed?All that’s missing is the pbuh, good dhimmies they are no?

Two men were arrested near Copenhagen in September on suspicion of planning terror attacks.

Charges denied

Two of the three men convicted on Friday are Danish citizens.

The third, Ahmad Khaldhahi, is an Iraqi Kurd, the Associated Press news agency reports.

The men were charged with acquiring chemicals and equipment used to make triacetone triperoxide (TATP) – an explosive compound used in the 2005 London bombings.

The evidence against them included a bottle containing a small amount of TATP, found at one of the suspects’ homes, and surveillance recordings in which the men are apparently heard discussing targets for possible attack.

The men had denied the charges and said they were joking when discussing the targets, the AP news agency says.

* Hahahahaha!

* The potential for ridicule is enormous. One day, when sanity is restored and our respective governments understand the nature of our enemy, people will ask “who would trust a guy named Mohammed to protect him from the Muhammedans?”

Watchdog?

Nobel Peace Prize laureate Mohamed ElBaradei admitted yesterday that as a “watchdog,” he’s completely worthless.

This clown has been playing us far too long, he’s been obfuscating, prevaricating, making excuses of the worst kind and is firmly in the Muhammedan camp, where else could he possibly be?

by Simon Morgan/AFP

The UN atomic watchdog said Thursday it was in the dark about Iran’s disputed nuclear programme, as its 35-member board seemed divided on how to get Tehran to shed more light on its activities.

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) “has so far not been able to verify some important aspects of Iran’s nuclear programme,” its director general Mohamed ElBaradei told a board meeting here.

He specifically cited key questions related to the scope and nature of Iran’s centrifuge enrichment activities, “as well as those relevant to alleged studies and other activities that could have military applications”.

As a result, the UN watchdog was “unable to provide credible assurance about the absence of undeclared nuclear material and activities,” ElBaradei complained.

The Egyptian-born diplomat noted that the IAEA had seen an increased level of cooperation from Iran in answering questions about the past, but its knowledge of Tehran’s current programme has “diminished” since 2006.

Furthermore, Iran’s cooperation was more “reactive than pro-active,” he lamented.

Western countries described ElBaradei’s findings as “disturbing”, arguing that tougher sanctions were needed to force Iran to suspend uranium enrichment, a potential pathway to the atom bomb, and make a full confession about the nature of its nuclear activities, both past and present.

“Despite four years of intensive investigation... the IAEA has stated that its knowledge of Iran’s nuclear programme is diminishing,” the US ambassador to the IAEA, Gregory Schulte, told board members.

Schulte accused Iran of deliberately trying to stave off further UN sanctions by offering only piecemeal cooperation. And he said there was little hope of greater transparency in the future.

“We fear that the next few weeks will not yield much more from Iran than we’ve seen in the last few months or, for that matter, the last five years,” Schulte.

The so-called EU-3 of France, Germany and Britain was similarly concerned.

“We’re disappointed that cooperation by Iran is only partial and reactive,” said French ambassador Francois-Xavier Deniau.

“Waiting is not an option,” he said. “Under these conditions, we believe it it is necessary to set a deadline to the process and that that deadline be in a few weeks, as proposed by the director general.”

But not everyone agreed.

The so-called non-aligned countries, headed by Cuba, described the progress shown by Iran so far as “a very positive step,” said Cuban ambassador Norma Goicochea Estenoz.

* LOL! Surely Cuba would have our best interests at heart, no?

She reiterated Cuba’s long-held position that the Iranian dossier should never have been referred to the UN Security Council and that it should go back to the IAEA, effectively meaning no more sanctions.

Diplomats attending the meeting, which was expected to continue on Friday, said that Russia and China, both permanent members of the Security Council, had similarly “emphasised the positive aspects of Iran’s cooperation.”

Nevertheless, they too called on Iran to suspend enrichment and allow more intrusive inspections by the IAEA.

For the west, the main bone of contention in the nuclear stand-off is Iran’s adamant refusal to suspend uranium enrichment, which can be used not only to produce nuclear fuel, but also make nuclear weapons.

In fact, Tehran has actually stepped up such activities, flying in the face of repeated UN demands to stop.

Iran insists it has an inalienable right to pursue such activities in order to generate electricity for a growing population.

And Iran’s UN envoy to the IAEA, Ali-Asghar Soltanieh, warned that any talk of possible sanctions would be “counterproductive.”

The next step on the road to possible sanctions is a widely anticipated report by EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana on the Iran issue.

* Another flake of the first degree…

Solana has been trying to persuade Tehran to resume talks on suspending uranium enrichment in exchange for a package of political and economic incentives, but Tehran has refused to offer concessions.

Solana said he would meet Iran’s top nuclear negotiator Saeed Jalili in London next week.

Inside Intel / Not a reactor – something far more vicious

The structure attacked in Syria was in fact a bomb assembly plant is the fact that the satellite photos taken after the bombing clearly show that the Syrians made an effort to bury the entire site under piles of earth. “They did so because of the lethal nature of the material that was in the structure, and that can be plutonium,” he said. That may also be the reason they refused to allow IAEA inspectors to visit the site and take samples of the earth, which would give away their secret.

*Just a few weeks ago Israel called for the toothless watchdog to be sacked:

Sack ElBaradei!

A senior Israeli minister has called for the sacking of Mohamed ElBaradei, the head of the UN nuclear watchdog.
Deputy PM Shaul Mofaz said the Egyptian head of the International Atomic Energy Agency had endangered world peace by neglecting Iran’s nuclear programme.

His comments come days before the IAEA is to publish its latest Iran report.

Mr ElBaradei has said Iran’s nuclear programme is not an immediate threat and if it wanted to build a nuclear bomb it would need years to do so.

The IAEA report will help determine whether the United Nations imposes a third set of sanctions on Tehran.

“The policies followed by ElBaradei endanger world peace. His irresponsible attitude of sticking his head in the sand over Iran’s nuclear programme should lead to his impeachment,” Mr Mofaz said during a visit to Washington.

‘Covert programme’

Israel is a member of the IAEA, but it is not itself a signatory to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty which attempts to limit the spread of nuclear weapons.

It is widely believed to currently be the only nuclear-armed state in the conflict riven Middle East region.

Germany probes 50 firms that sold nuclear equipment to Iran

The German connection

By Benjamin Weinthal

BERLIN – In early 2005, German customs police raided a series of German firms involved in a clandestine relationship with Vero, a Berlin-based front company that was illegally supplying nulcear technology and equipment to Iran. The smuggling operation involved 50 German companies and used a nuclear reactor in the Russian city of Rostov to hide the fact that it was supplying equipment to Bushehr, a port city in southern Iran.

Bushehr is the site of a feverish attempt by Russians and Iranians to rebuild Iran’s nuclear reactors.

Accused of raping girl

By Kara Lawrence

November 06, 2007 12:00am

A TAXI driver allegedly raped an 18-year-old girl after friends had hailed a cab to ensure she got home safely from a night out.

The young passenger allegedly pleaded for the cabbie to stop violating her but it was only when he finished that she was able to escape and called Triple-0 on her mobile telephone.

Despite initially denying he had sex with the teenager, the Bangladeshi, 21, now claims he had consensual sex with the alleged victim.

Md. [Mohammed] Kowsar Ali, an accounting student on a student visa, claimed he had lied to police initially due to shame – as pre-marital sex was morally unacceptable in his culture.

Ali appeared in Kogarah Local Court yesterday charged with sexual assault and aggravated robbery.

He did not enter a plea.

Taxi sex alert on migrants

January 25, 2007
IMMIGRANTS may have to wait a year to get a taxi licence after police revealed that almost all of the suspects in 24 reported driver sex assaults since June were newcomers to Australia.

The Taxi Council of SA also wants to educate immigrant applicants about “the Australian way of life” before they get behind the wheel, amid fears that cultural differences are linked to the problem.

In the latest incident, a woman aged in her 20s told police she was sexually assaulted by a driver in the city early yesterday. She said she had caught a taxi from Sugar nightclub in Rundle St about 3.30am and had been taken to Waymouth St, where the assault had taken place.

Since June, five drivers have been arrested for sex offences. Officers from Operation Console, established to investigate the increasing number of reports and complaints, are looking at several more cases.

Taxi driver charged with sexual assault

by Patricia Lonergan

Ottawa police have charged a 34-year-old man in connection to a sexual assault that took place last month after a woman hailed a cab in the ByWard Market area.
According to earlier reports from police, a 34-year-old woman was picked up at Clarence Street and Parent Avenue by a man in a cab around 12:20 a.m. on June 23.

The suspect drove the victim to her home and followed her inside the building where he sexually assaulted her.

Police released a photo and description of the suspect earlier this week, seeking public help in identifying the man. Several tips were received and led to the positive identification of the suspect, police say.

Citing privacy issues, officers would not confirm whether the man is a legitimate cabbie employed by a taxi company. The name of the cab company is also unknown.

Hassan Majli, of Ottawa, has been charged with one count of sexual assault. He is scheduled to appear in court …

Sharif Sadiq Ali, a 37-year-old Somali with New Zealand citizenship, is facing charges of unlawful detention, indecent assault and sexual violation in relation to an alleged incident on August 22, 2004.

His trial was scheduled to start in the Palmerston North District Court yesterday, but was adjourned because Crown prosecutor Andru Isac was unwell.

Ali, through an interpreter, pleaded not guilty to the charges before the premature end to the day’s proceedings.

Judge Nevin Dawson told the jury the trial is expected to last the rest of the week.

A shuttle driver has filed a complaint with the FAA against the Salt Lake International Airport, saying officials allowed thousands of religious services to be conducted on public property. Muslim cab drivers began praying in a small airport building used as a break room after 9-11, because, the airport says, they became targets, with people yelling at them and throwing things.

Last week we brought you the story of a Muslim cab driver at the airport who says he was assaulted when he tried to pray inside the building. Tonight the man charged in that case speaks out about his case against the airport.

This list is a work in progress. I welcome suggestions. Anyone who has more items to add to the list, post them in the comments.

The intent of the list is to illustrate the futility of the multicultural approach to Islam. Sharia law demands submission not only from Muslims, but from non-Muslims as well. This makes respectful coexistence nearly impossible with Muslims in Infidel lands. The examples below serve as reminder that submitting to one complaint or another only emboldens Muslims to seek to further their ultimate goal of establishing sharia.

The West needs to come to grips with this fact and start standing up for our God-given rights of free speech, free expression and freedom of (and from) religion, lest we surrender those rights to a theocratic movement bent on removing our Constitutional freedoms that we hold dear. In this case, our tolerance will lead to intolerance.

* Isn’t it strange that 6 years after 9/11 we still stuff around over what we should call those who are determined to destroy us?

From the Guardian:

In identifying those trying to kill us, we should choose our words carefully

Islamofascists’ and ‘Islamists’ are not the right labels. But Muslim opinion leaders must condemn violent jihadists

* Well, fascists they are, most definitely. And Islamic they are too. So what’s wrong with the term? If it walks like a duck…

* ” Muslim opinion leaders must condemn violent jihadists “- think so? Don’t hold your breath. If they do, it always comes with “we condemn all forms of terrorism”- and don’t forget the “but”…

Timothy Garton Ash
Thursday November 22, 2007
The Guardian

What should we call the people who want to kill us? Islamofascists? Islamists? Jihadists? Or just plain murderers? You might say it doesn’t matter that much; the point is to stop them. But finding the right words is part of stopping them. It means we’ve correctly identified our real enemies. It also means we don’t unnecessarily create new enemies by making all Muslims feel that they’re being treated as terrorists.
Take, for comparison, the last major terrorist threat we faced in Britain. Clearly it made a huge difference whether we described the people bent on blowing us up as “the Irish”, “Catholics”, “Irish Republicans”, “Catholic terrorists”, “nationalist extremists”, “the Provos” or simply “the IRA”. On the whole, and fortunately, we stuck with “the IRA”. That helped us to win, after a long struggle. In this case, it’s not so simple. “Al-Qaida” won’t do as the functional equivalent of “the IRA” – not on its own anyway. We need a wider term to describe the kind of violent extremists who perpetrated the London and Madrid bombings. Counter-terrorism experts talk carefully of “al-Qaida-inspired” violence, but that’s too complicated for everyday use, as are alternative suggestions such as “violent Muslim extremists” or “modern Islamic militancy”. We need a simpler shorthand.

* How about Islamic terrorists or Jihadi’s? Isn’t that what they call themselves?

The Qur’an on Jihad

‘Jihad is ordained for you (Muslims) though you dislike it, and it may be that you dislike something which is good for you and that you like something which is bad for you. Allah knows but you do not know.’

‘Against them make ready your strength to the utmost of your power, including steeds of war, to strike terror into (the hearts of) the enemies of Allah and your enemies.’

concerning fighting with People of the Book:

‘Fight against those who believe not in Allah nor in the Last Day, nor forbid that which has been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger and those who acknowledge not the Religion of Truth (i.e. Islam), from among the People of the Book, until they pay the jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.’

(Surat-at-Tawbah (9), ayah 29)

Verily, Allah has purchased of the believers their lives and their wealth; for the price that theirs shall be the Paradise. They fight in Allah’s Cause, so they kill (others) and are killed. It is a promise in truth which is binding on Him in the Torah and the Gospel and the Qur’an. And who is truer to his covenant than Allah? Then rejoice in the bargain which you have concluded. That is the supreme success.’

(Surat-at-Tawbah (9), ayah 111)

* Jihad is a central duty of every Muslim. Violent jihad is a constant of Islamic history.” All the four schools of Sunni Islamic jurisprudence demonstrate how the obligation of Muslims to undertake jihad finds its roots in the Qur’an and commentary on it. (The schools are Shafi’i, Hanafi, Hanbali, and Maliki, which receive attention in Esposito’s account of the history of Islam.)

For example, he quotes a Maliki philosopher and legal theorist, Ibn Khaldun (1332-1406):

Chechen leader calls for head scarves for women

Sharia Alert from the Caucasus: “Chechen leader: Head scarves for women,” by Musa Sadulayev for Associated Press

GROZNY, Russia (AP) — The president of Chechnya has called for all women to cover their heads with scarves, the latest in a series of his unofficial orders toughening social customs for women in the violence-wracked, mainly Muslim Russian region.

During Chechnya’s brief period of de-facto independence in the 1990s, the region’s government implemented Islamic law as a concession to the growing influence of Muslim fundamentalists in the republic.

Honor killings on the rise in Palestinian territories

As order slides, Palestinian women face honor killings

By Ilene R. Prusher

All the women in the family say Wafa Wahdan was wonderful.

But her sisters-in-law add that they noticed a few little things. She had changed the way she dressed in the past year to a less conservative style and she sometimes went out for a drive without saying where she was going.

A few weeks ago, the body of the young mother of four was found in a garbage dump east of town. Police arrested two of the woman’s male cousins for having trapped Ms. Wahdan and shot her to death, committing the third “honor killing” in Qalqilya last month.

Wahdan’s brutal murder devastated her husband and immediate family, who say that the rumor mill’s tales of Wahdan having an affair were untrue. But regardless of their veracity, suspicion alone can be enough to get a woman killed by distant relatives looking to “cleanse” the family honor when there is talk of an illicit relationship.

According to local organizations, such murders have risen in the Palestinian territories to nearly 50 this year – a fact that many here blame on the absence of any true law and order, which allows individuals to enforce their own version of justice. Palestinians here say the image of an ever-weaker Palestinian Authority has increased after Hamas’s violent takeover of the Gaza Strip in June, making this local vigilantism harder to combat.

Particularly galling to many here is the fact that a man who admits to murdering a female relative for reasons of honor can be sentenced to as little as six months in jail. Palestinians say that policy is based on an old Jordanian law, which still holds in the West Bank: Article 341 considers murder a legitimate act of defense when the killer acts “in defense of his life or his honor.”

Banaz Mahmod, 20, victim of ‘honor killing’

Saed Taha, dean of Qalqilya’s College of Islamic Law, says that honor killings in the Palestinian territories are never carried out according to proper Muslim stipulations and thus are unacceptable according to sharia, or Islamic law. In Islam, an unmarried woman found guilty of having an affair can be sentenced to 100 lashes; for a married woman, the sentence is death by stoning. But first, four witnesses must say they saw the illicit act with their own eyes.

“When the sentence is only six months, the consequence is that [perpetrators] encourage others to do the same,” says Dr. Taha. “Islam does not allow anyone to take the law into his own hands. And for a woman to be sentenced [for illicit affairs], it would have to take place in a system that operates under Islamic law, which we don’t have right now.”

Tribal traditions are often a motive. But ancient tribal mores, not Islam, are usually what drive family members to demand that their honor be restored. In this case, according to several of Wahdan’s relatives interviewed for this story, the men of the family met and came to a joint decision that Ms. Wahdan should be killed.

* Spencer comments:

It is a recurring pattern that anything that looks bad in the international media is “just a tribal thing,” with nothing to do with Islam. But the legal course confirmed by Taha shows more Islamic law– so often promoted as a solution, though it would at best only replace lawless injustice with the rigorously legalistic injustices of sharia law– would not help. Indeed, Islam only further reinforces the notion that a woman’s value depends on her obedience and reputation for chastity:

Men are in charge of women, because Allah hath made the one of them to excel the other, and because they spend of their property (for the support of women). So good women are the obedient, guarding in secret that which Allah hath guarded. As for those from whom ye fear rebellion, admonish them and banish them to beds apart, and scourge them. Then if they obey you, seek not a way against them. Lo! Allah is ever High, Exalted, Great. (Qur’an 4:34)

“These men have no fear of God,” says Wahdan’s mother, Umm el-Walid. She pulls out of a photograph of her daughter, big-eyed and pretty, sitting with some of Mrs. Walid’s now-motherless grandchildren.

“Had my daughter had an extramarital relationship, her husband would have been the first to notice and do something,” says Wahdan’s mother, stopping to squint out tears. “They charged her, sentenced her, and executed her all in one fell swoop.”

Iran: 50 young people condemned to death for ‘immorality’

Tehran, 21 Nov. (AKI) – Iranian police responsible for moral crimes have announced death sentences for 50 people in the latest clampdown on what the authorities term as “immoral behaviour”.

“Fifty of the 3,400 people arrested for immorality in recent weeks, have been condemned to death,” said General Ahmad Roozbahani, who is in-charge of moral crimes.

While announcing that arrests would continue, the Iranian general said that 53 percent of those arrested were aged between 17 and 25 years.

He said 5 percent of those arrested in the moralisation campaign, which began in March, were minors under the age of 17.

Artists too frightened to tackle radical Islam

Artists, many unable to make a living were it not for government handouts, are courageous when it comes to offend and to ‘shock’ those who don’t react violently, something we have seen over and over again in the past. After Theo Van Gogh’s murder in the Netherlands Dutch movie makers were asked whether they would come out in support and make the sequel to his movie ‘Submission’- but all of them had the flimsiest of excuses, like ‘I have two small children’- or ‘I don’t want to rob my children of their father’ etc.

A rather shortsighted view, because what kind of a world are they bringing their children into when they refuse to defend freedom of speech and expression?

Ben Hoyle, Arts Reporter

Britain’s contemporary artists are fêted around the world for their willingness to shock but fear is preventing them from tackling Islamic fundamentalism. Grayson Perry, the cross-dressing potter, Turner Prize winner and former Times columnist, said that he had consciously avoided commenting on radical Islam in his otherwise highly provocative body of work because of the threat of reprisals.

Perry also believes that many of his fellow visual artists have also ducked the issue, and one leading British gallery director told The Times that few major venues would be prepared to show potentially inflammatory works.

“I’ve censored myself,” Perry said at a discussion on art and politics organised by the Art Fund. “The reason I haven’t gone all out attacking Islamism in my art is because I feel real fear that someone will slit my throat.”

Perry’s highly decorated pots can sell for more than £50,000 and often feature sex, violence and childhood motifs. One work depicted a teddy bear being born from a penis as the Virgin Mary. “I’m interested in religion and I’ve made a lot of pieces about it,” he said. “With other targets you’ve got a better idea of who they are but Islamism is very amorphous. You don’t know what the threshold is. Even what seems an innocuous image might trigger off a really violent reaction so I just play safe all the time.”

* Some kind of hero, that one…

The fate of Theo van Gogh, the Dutch film-maker who was murdered by a Muslim extremist in 2004 after he made a film portraying violence against women in Islamic societies, is the most chilling example of what can happen to an artist who is perceived to have offended Islam. Perry said that he had also been scared by the reaction across the Islamic world to Danish cartoons deemed anti-Muslim in 2006 and by the protests against Salman Rushdie’s knighthood this year.

* Last year, Dutch artist Tjalling Houkema saw how his drawing of a Qu’ran splattered with blood and with a gun inside was removed from an exhibition in a library in The Hague after Muslims complained and made threats.

Across Europe there is growing evidence that freedom of expression has been curtailed by fear of religious fundamentalism. Robert Redeker, a French philosophy teacher, is in hiding after calling the Koran a “book of extraordinary violence” in Le Figaro in 2006; Spanish villages near Valencia have abandoned a centuries-old tradition of burning effigies of Muhammad to mark the reconquest of Spain, against the Moors; and an opera house in Berlin banned a production of Mozart’s Idomeneo because it depicted the beheading of Muhammad (as well as Jesus and other spiritual leaders).

In Britain the most high-profile examples have also been seen in the theatre, with the campaign by Christian fundamentalists against Jerry Springer: the Opera and the protests in Birmingham that forced the closure of Bezhti, a play about rape and murder in a Sikh temple.

Tim Marlow, director of exhibitions at White Cube, the London gallery, welcomed Perry’s admission. “It’s something that’s there but very few people have explicitly admitted. Institutions, museums and galleries are probably doing most of the censorship. I would be lying if I said of course we would show something like the Danish cartoons. I think there are genuine reasons for concern. Fundamentalism is a really complex issue and one of the things artists can do is to help us through that complexity. Whether or not it’s their responsibility to do that I’m not sure though.”

Cartoon upsets Muslims

Anton Ferreira

Cartoonist Jonathan Shapiro — better known as Zapiro — has riled Muslims with a cartoon that portrays Allah, but he is unrepentant.

“I do these things because I believe in freedom of expression,” Shapiro said, acknowledging that his cartoon in the Cape Times yesterday had landed him in hot water.

He said he understood the cartoon had provoked a flood of angry SMS messages from the Muslim community.

Shapiro, who is being sued by Jacob Zuma over his cartoons, said he was not surprised that people had gone “ballistic”.

Devout believers should “take a step back” from their religious fervour and realise belief systems were created by humans, he said

Federal Election: Life After John

By: Irfan Yusuf
Thursday 22 November 2007

Muhammedans are by nature triumphalists. Yusuf Irfan, a resident lawyer who predicts Australia will fall to the ummah Islamiyah within 30 years, is already predicting the coming defeat and the inevitable takeover, which means sharia and dhimmitude for the surviving Aussies, (after much slaughter in the land) beheadings in public on Friday afternoons, clit-removals,  hijabs and burkas for females, stoning for adultery, public flogging and hand and foot-chopping for thieves. Did I miss anything? Let us know, Yusuf, tell us what’s in store for us, won’t you? You know what awaits us better than anybody, don’t you?

* Yusuf dreaming:

If those nasty Left-wing, union-dominated, politically correct, Socialist-Communist-Marxist-Leninist-Maoist-Castroist cadres at the Newspoll politburo are correct, Kevin 07 will narrowly defeat John & Janette 96-07. Which raises the question: what will happen to those on the conservative side of politics?

Sheik Rupert bin Murdoch might think there’s more money in being a bleeding-heart liberal, which could lead to a shake-up in the allegedly conservative commentariat.

Here are my (Yusuf’s) predictions:

Piers Akerman will simultaneously explode and implode in a fit of pompous rage.

Frank Devine (and daughter Miranda) will return to New Zealand where at least Helen Clark’s comrades know how to spell the name of their Party correctly.

David Marr will replace Tom Switzer as opinion editor and editorial writer at The Australian. John Hyde-Page and I will then be appointed token conservative columnists.

Caroline Overington will convert to Judaism, only to be rebuffed by the new Federal Member for Wentworth.

Janet Albrechtsen will suddenly realise Howard’s defeat was caused by his lack of genuine conservatism. She’ll convert to conservative Islam, change her name to Benazir Megawati, don a burqa and apply to become the second wife of Sheik Tajeddine Hilaly, but turned away (Sheik Hilaly is opposed to both polygamy and burqas in Australia).

* At Hilali’s age its understandable that he is not very polygamous, more because of the natural limitations. But don’t paint a pussy on my cheek about the burka, Yusuf. You and I know that’s non-negotiable, is it not?

Andrew Bolt will become The Herald-Sun’s in-house reviewer of Turkish novels.

Margo Kingston will become editor-in-chief of the Daily Telegraph, with Tim Blair appointed moderator of the Tele’s new Webdiary blog.

Paul Kelly will try to convince readers he has always been a fan of the ALP.

NewMatilda.com will become the official organ of the Sydney Institute.

Greg Sheridan will become foreign affairs writer for the Myanmar Times.

Paul Sheehan will leave journalism altogether and start a business selling magic water.

Alan Jones will coach the Wallabies while working part-time for ACMA.

Israel, the hope of the Muslim world

By Spengler

The state of Israel embodies the last, best chance for the Islamic world to come to terms with the modern world. Received wisdom in the foreign ministries of the West holds that relations with Muslims would be ever so much easier without the annoying presence of the Jewish state, which humiliates the Muslim world. Just the opposite is true.

Who needs another Islamic terror state?

Is there no room in the 22 existing Arab states to absorb the Palestinians who chose to leave Israel in 1948, as 5 Arab nations attacked the new state?

The Arabs have oil resources and extensive land mass to accommodate their brethren, the Palestinians. They share the same culture, including language and the Islamic religion.

Creating a terrorist state in Israel’s Heartland would not only reward terrorism, but provide a new base for global Jihad.

To Remove The Jew From The Land

by Cale Hahn

They may well name this era the Age of Madness.

Someday, in the near future, after the imminent wars are concluded, the dead buried, the flames extinguished and the cities rebuilt, a future people will gaze with utter perplexity upon this age, in wonder how such a sad state came to be. They may well name this era the Age of Madness, when the world lost its collective soul and mind. They will little wonder how the utter destruction of tomorrow came upon we who live today. The universe cannot long suffer the flipping of Earth’s moral magnetic poles.

Today’s script characterizes the bloodthirsty as peaceful, victims as aggressors and aggressors as victims, destroyers as allies, cowards as courageous, and the vile as virtuous.

The universe cannot long suffer the flipping of Earth’s moral magnetic poles. Tomorrow, the curtain of deception will be removed and the semantics of today’s charlatans no longer the tool behind which the savage maneuver.

Quote of the day: “Beware, the primitives gather stones and learn of fire.”

“Wollt Ihr den totalen Pali-Staat?”

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice is behaving like a zealot. In her ever-more-rash pursuit of a Palestinian state, she is exhibiting the syndrome defined by the philosopher George Santana, as one who redoubles her efforts upon losing sight of the objective.

Let’s recall: The objective laid out by President Bush, when he decided in June 2002 to support the creation of a homeland for the Palestinian people, was to provide a stable, secure neighbor for Israel, committed to leaving peaceably with the Jewish State.

Mr. Bush explicitly preconditioned such support on: an end to Palestinian terror; a Palestinian leadership that was not tainted by ties to terrorism; and the elimination of the infrastructure in Palestinian areas that enables such behavior. After the 9/11 attacks, the United States was in the business of eliminating terrorist-sponsoring regimes, not creating them.
