* Turkey’s Erdogan is talking turkey right here, you wouldn’t call him a misunderstander of Islam now, would you?

Speaking at Kanal D TV’s Arena program, PM Erdogan commented on the term “moderate Islam”, often used in the West to describe AKP and said, ‘These descriptions are very ugly, it is offensive and an insult to our religion. There is no moderate or immoderate Islam. Islam is Islam and that’s it.”

* Thanks Tayyip, I’m so glad you cleared that up…

Doing Time With Richard The Shoebomber

PC is alive and well in US Super Max Prison

Telegraph/UK

“…the Muslims have a religious issue that we need to respect,”

“I don’t know Richard Reid, but I’ll tell you one thing. You put a dog in a cage and keep poking it with a big stick, don’t expect it to stay nice.”

* But remember that Richard Reid was in prison in England even before he became the Shoe Bomber. He’s a convict through and through, and that makes him an extra special danger. He understands the system and how to manipulate it if he wants to.”

His docile demeanour as inmate number 24079-038 is a far cry from the behaviour that landed him here at the US Penitentiary Administrative Maximum Facility — also known as ADX, Super Max, Bombers’ Row, and the Alcatraz of the Rockies — just outside the town of Florence, Colorado. Five years ago, on December 22, 2001, Reid, of Bromley, Kent, boarded American Airlines flight 63 from Paris to Miami, intending to blow it up by detonating plastic explosives hidden in one of his shoes. As he tried to light the fuse he was spotted by a flight attendant and, following a violent struggle, was overpowered.

Just over a year later the young fanatic who had attended Finsbury Park mosque in London where Abu Hamza preached was sentenced to life in prison.

The first British al-Qaeda convict was dragged from the federal courtroom in Boston still shouting his allegiance to Osama bin Laden. “I’m at war with your country,” he yelled at the judge.

The al-Qaeda inmates are kept in a separate area from other prisoners “partly because they have common needs particular to their faith, partly to ensure they cannot try to recruit others to their cause,” explained one guard.

Another said: “There are sociopaths and borderline psychopaths among the other prisoners here. They know that they could make a name for themselves if they took the life of a high-profile inmate — a 9/11 terrorist, the World Trade Centre guys, the Shoe Bomber.”

Muslim women in Malaysia are being discriminated against so severely that they face a “growing form of apartheid”, the daughter of the former prime minister Mahathir Mohamad, a prominent social activist, has claimed.

Marina Mahathir, a Muslim herself, yesterday wrote in the Star newspaper: “Non-Muslim Malaysian women have benefited from more progressive laws over the years while the opposite has happened for Muslim women.”

Polygamy is allowed for Muslims but banned for non-Muslims, she pointed out, and under Islamic family law the father is the primary guardian of the children of a marriage, while for others guardianship is shared.

 

Marina Mahatir

“Only in Malaysia are Muslim women regressing,” she wrote. “In every other Muslim country in the world, women have been gaining rights, not losing them.”

* Really? Just wondering in which Muslim country women have been ‘gaining rights..?’ Are we missing something here…?

Marina Mahathir’s article was so sensitive that it was delayed for two days, with the paper claiming at one point that the relevant editor was “too busy” to deal with it.

* Perhaps Marina was talking about this:

Malaysia considers switch to Islamic law

* Islam is a failed religion and a failed political ideology. It can only be cured by having MORE ISLAM, right?

* Sharia Alert from modern, moderate Malaysia. Via DW

Hardline Islamic law could be introduced across Malaysia under reforms proposed by the country’s chief justice.
As the nation in south-east Asia celebrated 50 years of independence from Britain yesterday, its government was preparing to discuss a plan that would revolutionise the legal system put in place by its former colonial administrators.

As Kuala Lumpur witnessed celebrations that included parades, fireworks and a fighter-jet fly-by attended by the Duke of York, the proposal pointed to the deep differences which locals say are poisoning social relations beyond the glitter and skyscrapers of Malaysia’s modern capital city.

Ahmad Fairuz, the chief justice, told an Islamic conference in Kuala Lumpur that 50 years of independence had failed to free Malaysia from the “clutches of colonialism”. Sharia law should be “infused” into the gaps created by abolishing common law, he said.

Malaysia’s non-Muslim Chinese and Indian communities, who form 40 per cent of the population, are alarmed at creeping Islamisation.

Abdul Badawi, the prime minister, this month joined other leaders for the first time in denying what the British-authored constitution has said for 50 years – that Malaysia is a secular state.

Sharia law already operates in some Malaysian states and is occasionally applied to non-Muslims, as in July when Islamic officials forcibly separated a Hindu-Muslim couple with six children after 21 years of marriage.

The majority ethnic Malays are defined as Muslim by law and forbidden from converting….

In line with Muhammad’s dictum, “If somebody discards his religion, kill him.”

Kidnapping, Hostage Taking for Ransom is Traditional Muhammedan Business: Islamists could kidnap Europeans in Africa – report

“The report said that an Islamist cell, the name of which was not given, could be planning to abduct Europeans in an attempt to extort ransom money for terrorist attacks.”— from this news article

Madrid – Spain’s secret service CNI has warned Spanish embassies in North Africa that Islamists could be planning to kidnap European citizens in the region, the daily El Mundo reported Thursday. The CNI has sent warnings to embassies in Algeria, Mauritania, Morocco and to representations in several other African countries, according to the daily, which quoted sources close to the intelligence service.
The report said that an Islamist cell, the name of which was not given, could be planning to abduct Europeans in an attempt to extort ransom money for terrorist attacks.
Radical Islamists could also be planning to hijack airplanes, according to the report.
The sources did not say whether the extremists would target tourists or Europeans residing in the region.

It’s been happening for years, not only in North Africa but in the Middle East, and not only with “Europeans” but with all kinds of Infidels. Money is only one kind of payoff. Diplomatic appeasement, arms transfers unblocked, and so on, are others.

What happened the other day in Afghanistan with those Korean missionaries, their male leaders already killed, in order to free them? $2.65 million, was it, to the Taliban?

Update: According to Al Jizzeera, 20 million were paid…

What happened a few weeks ago, when Libya finally freed those Bulgarian nurses (and one lone, quite resentful-against-Arabs, Arab doctor), after having held them, tortured them, constantly threatened them with death, for eight years? What did the Western powers do except bribe Libya with money, with promises about investment, and of course completed — c’etait le comble — of Cecilia Sarkozy and then Nicolas Sarkozy himself, travelling to Libya which will now be allowed to buy all kinds of French military equipment that had heretofore been blocked.

Bulgarian Nurses: Tortured & Raped

There is nothing new here. The “ransom” has been paid again and again: military supplies, diplomatic abandonment, by steady degrees, of Israel and the indifference to its legal and historic claims; abandonment or refusal to stand up for the Christians or other non-Muslims (the total abandonment of the Biafrans, the seemingly total indifference of even the American government to the fate of the the Christians in Lebanon, during the Civil War in Lebanon and now, and to the mistreatment of the Copts in Egypt, and now to the special worries of the only group in Iraq that deserves Western protection, the Chaldo-Assyrians (as two different kinds of Christians are sometimes called).

Pirates, ransom.

And then there the refusal of one young Republic that, after a bit, decided it had taken the measure of the Muslim Barbary Pirates and would not play the game, and pay the ransom, that older and more cynical European powers had sometimes been doing. There was Jefferson. There was the buildup of the American navy as a direct response to the Muslim corsairs (who often registered their intended targets among the Christian shipping, in this systematic preying on the Infidel ships, cargoes, and seamen then enslaved). There was William Eaton, travelling overland with his band from Cairo, across the Western Desert, to free the Americans held by an incidental and malevolent Dey. There were the Shores of Tripoli.

From the ‘Don’t say I told you so’ department:

Some wankers, especially this one here, accused sheik yer’mami of all kinds of evil things, like accusing these poor Ahmeds & Mohameds unjustly.

Think he will retract and apologize now? Is he just a useful idiot or does he knowingly aid and abet the global jihad?

Florida Muslim Students Indicted

(Video Update: CAIR Spokesman Calls Them ‘Victims’)

Those two Egyptian students at the University of South Florida who were caught with pipe bombs near a South Carolina Navy base have been indicted, and one of them turns out to have a history of involvement in terrorism.

CAIR’s Ahmed Bedier, unindicted co-conspirator in another case, seems to know all about it, but doesn’t tell the truth.

Ahmed Abdellatif Sherif Mohamed, 24, an engineering graduate student and teaching assistant at the Tampa-based university, faces terrorism charges for teaching and demonstrating how to use the explosives.

According to officials familiar with the case, Mohamed has been arrested previously in Egypt on terrorism-related charges. He is said to have produced an Internet video showing how to build a remote-controlled car bomb.

Mohamed and Youssef Samir Megahed, 21, also an engineering student, were stopped for speeding Aug. 4 in Goose Creek, S.C., where they have been held on state charges. Police found pipe bombs in their car near a Navy base in South Carolina where enemy combatants have been held. They have been held in a South Carolina jail while the FBI continued to investigate whether there was a terrorism link.

It should be noted that after their arrest, the Council on American Islamic Relations immediately jumped out and defended these two, saying they were just “naïve kids” and the pipe bombs were nothing but “fireworks.”

An Islamic community leader from Tampa, Fla., who’s been in touch with the families of the two detained college students, told The Post and Courier that Megahed and Mohamed are not troublemakers and that they were simply on a weekend trip to North Carolina.

Ahmed Bedier, executive director of the Tampa chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, a civil rights organization for Muslims, said family members have told him they think the materials were leftover fireworks Megahed kept in his trunk since July 4.

“Both of them are really naïve kids,” Bedier said.

* Sure. They believe in Islam like our kidz believe in Santa.

They believe that Allah commands them to kill infidels and Jooozzz and to ‘strike terror in the hearts of the infidels’- they are really naive.

Who else believes such a s*@t?

Just in thanks to Mustapha Kamel:

The Caliphate

The Caliphate ( khilafah ) is a unique political system from the ideology of Islam that bears no resemblance to any of the Muslim Governments today. Although many commentators and historians have tried to interpret the Caliphate within existing political frameworks, it is in fact a unique political system, built upon a concept of citizenship regardless of ethnicity, gender or creed that is totally opposed to the oppression of any religious or ethnic grouping.

Caliphate is not a dictatorship

The Caliph ( khaleefah ) is the name given to the head of state in the Caliphate. The Caliph’s authority to rule must be given willingly by the people through a special ruling contact called baya . Without this baya he cannot be the head of state. This is totally opposite to the post of a King or Dictator who imposes his authority on the people through coercion and force. The tyrant Kings and Dictators in the Muslim world are ample examples of this, imprisoning and torturing their own people and stealing their wealth and resources.

This baya contract stipulates that the Caliph must be just and rule the people by Islamic Law ( shariah ). He is not sovereign and cannot legislate laws from his own mind that suit his personal and family interests. Any laws he wishes to pass must be derived from the Islamic legal sources through a precise and detailed methodology called ijtihad . If the Caliph legislates any law contrary to this or commits oppression against his people, the highest and most powerful court in the State called the Unjust Acts Court ( mahkamat muzalim ) can impeach the Caliph and order his removal from office.

Caliphate is not a theocracy

The Caliph has been likened to a Pope, who is the Spiritual Head of all Muslims, infallible and appointed by God. This is not the case as the Caliph is not a priest. His post is an executive post within the Islamic government. He is not infallible and can make mistakes, which is why many checks and balances exist to ensure he and his government remain accountable.

The Caliph is not appointed by God rather he is elected by the people and assumes authority through the baya contract. The Caliphate is not a theocracy since its legislation is not restricted to religious and moral codes that neglect the problems of society. Rather shariah is a comprehensive system that legislates on ruling, social, economic and judicial matters to name but a few. Economic progress and enhancing the living standards of the people is one of its major objectives. This is totally opposite to backward, medieval theocracies found in Europe where the poor were oppressed and forced to work and live in squalid conditions in return for the promise of heaven. Historically the Caliphate was a very wealthy state with a flourishing economy, high standard of living and world leader in industry and scientific research for many centuries.

You gotta read it to believe it folks; how could we ever be without it?

The Koran and non-Muslims – myths versus facts,” by Mustafa Akyol

More BS propaganda from an Islamist, in the hope that myth beats fact.

Yes, there is a sucker born every minute, and Mustafa is hoping to find a few who buy into his taqiyya. His chances are good: There are great numbers of ‘open minded’ liberal, socialist types out there who just won’t believe what doesn’t fit in their multiculti-PC world view. ‘The alternative would be too horrible to contemplate”- according to Jack “The Burka”- Straw, socialist polit- prop in once Great Britain, who built his career on the Muslim vote. Liberals, alternative types and socialist uni-professors will gobble up Mustafa’s deception like chocolate pudding…

Jihad is nothing but ‘inner struggle’- sez Bilal Sambur

Relax! Take your shoes off! Take a laxative and more valium! Jihad is an interior spiritual struggle! Nothing to be concerned about at all! Everybody out to the beach!

“There is a need to rediscover what ‘jihad’ really means,” said Sambur, a Muslim who teaches at Suleyman Demirel University in Turkey. “Jihad is not equal to holy war. It is an ethical and spiritual concept. It means a human being must spend all his effort to actualize spiritual ideas in his individual and social life.

“This is not my personal definition. This is what the Prophet defines.”

* Great. Lets take a closer look, right here

From a posting on LFG:

* Islamiane Amanwhore and CNN gave these guys legitimacy. Where’s the outrage?

* even ultra lefty Dan Abrams is slamming Amanpour and her ridiculous propaganda!

[Link: www.camera.org…]

Why has Christiane Amanpour not gone the way of Dan Rather? I am sure she is right now working on her next big project – that will guarantee her next big pay check. She is far less a journalist and much more a liar and fraud than Dan Rather ever was. Yes, she is a woman, Iranian and savvy. Does that make her cool? Does that trump honesty? Where is truth in all this? The MSM is all about the story that will win ratings, first of all, and propaganda reflecting the twisted views of “journalists” and their superiors, secondly. Sure, MSNBC may laudably air a report that is critical, but how did Amanpour and her associates ever get CNN to broadcast the crud in the first place?

* That’s easy:

CNN is a Time-Warner company and Arabs own a solid majority in it.

The August 27th broadcast of MSNBC’s Live with Dan Abrams slammed CNN’s “God’s Warriors” as biased shoddy journalism, with host Dan Abrams saying at the outset that the three-part series “was not what it claimed or promised to be.” In the segment, titled “CNN’s Holy war?”, Abrams also said “CNN should have called it what it was, a defense of Islamic fundamentalism and the worst type of moral relativism.”

According to Abrams, CNN’s Christiane Amanpour, “avoided getting bogged down in objectivity.” (See the full video clip below.)

CAMERA offered its own detailed criticism of the Amanpour series in the articles linked below:

1. God’s Jewish Warriors — CNN’s Abomination

2. God’s Muslim Warriors — CNN’s Double Standard

3. God’s Christian Warriors— CNN Slurs Christians

Here’s the full video clip of the segment from MSNBC’s Live with Dan Abrams:

* The female, Asma Hasan is a die hard Muhammedan agit-prop, but her attempts to whitewash the ‘RoP’ don’t convince anyone. She is a real screamer; typically invoking Tim Mc Veigh and abortion clinic bombers and white supremacist groups. Aren’t you wondering why Western journalists bother to have Muslim females on their show when even two of them don’t equal the witness of one male in the Muhammedan cult(-ure) ???

* Inverted Muhammedan mind bending at its best, jihad was invented by the CIA, Abraham invented ….what exactly..??

* This female needs a serious Muhammedan husband who knows how to beat his wife according to Islamic teachings, she deserves it…

* Dan Abrams interview with Abu Laban, the imam who instigated the first cartoon rage against Denmark. Since then he kicked the bucket…

There is a place for everything….

“The meaning of killing a Jew for the liberation of Palestine cannot be compared to any Jihad on earth”

“Prosecutors say Muslim charity in Texas got appeal to help fund holy war,” from The Associated Press

Misunderstanders of Islam say to prospective jihadists: “What will unite you is the love of Islam and the motto ‘There is no God but Allah'”

Here is yet another example of the heavily Islamic character of jihadist appeals. Note the emphasis on the ideological aspect of the jihad, and the denial that the movement has any dependence upon charismatic personalities or even upon Al-Qaeda itself: the authors are confident that Muslims can become jihadists simply by studying the Qur’an and Sunnah.

Yeah, jihad was invented by the CIA, and Muhammed was just like mother Theresa… Link to Memri via JW

Pali Child Abuse & Pali Propaganda Update 

 * At least the Associated Press isn’t trying to tell us it’s a “toy gun” this time.

 Reuters Palestinian Propaganda Watch

Here’s some pure propaganda from al-Reuters in the Gaza Strip, starting with the headline, which avoids telling you how this “youth” was killed; if Israeli soldiers were to blame, even if the youth were armed to the teeth and bent on murder the headline would scream, “Israel Kills Teenage Palestinian!”

Instead we get:

Palestinian youth killed in protest at Gaza border.

GAZA (Reuters) – A teenage Palestinian protester was killed as tens of thousands of Gazans demonstrated in the southern part of the strip on Saturday against the closure of a border crossing with Egypt.

The demonstration lasted several hours and broke up after dark, local security officials said.

Hospital staff named the dead as 17-year-old Mohammed Qdaih who was accidentally hit by a bullet fired by Hamas Executive Force officers trying to keep the crowd under control.

Muslims tell tall tales about Thai army atrocities

* Suckers wanted to peddle Islamo-fascist propaganda: Gavin King to the front!

It’s a time-honored technique, hallowed by successful use by Hizballah and others. So far it always worked. Why should it be different this time?

By Jürgen Kremb/Spiegel Online

Muslim separatists in the south of Thailand want to secede from the Buddhist north and have targeted monks and other representatives of the state. But they also claim to have been victims of government atrocities.

Udom Dhamakhani, 67, lifts himself laboriously from his wooden cot, on which he has just recited his Buddhist sutras. He straightens his saffron-colored robe and peers out through his oversized reading glasses.
Unusually for a monk’s cell, the room contains a monitor showing images from four surveillance cameras: the veranda, the door of his cell, the main temple — and a bunker. The shelter is occupied by soldiers who have turned Wat Lakmnang monastery on the outskirts of the southern Thai city of Pattani into a fortress. “It’s all because of the trouble out there,” the monk grumbles.

More than 2,400 have already died “out there,” in Songkhla, Pattani, Yala and Narathiwat provinces, in an insurgency started by Muslim rebels. They want the region in southern Thailand, which is home to 1.9 million Malay-speaking Muslims, to secede from the rest of the predominantly Buddhist country.

* Curiously, this German reporter states very clearly what the goal of the ‘Insurgency’ is. Why do others seem to have such a problem nailing it?

Dhamakhani is not just the abbot of Wat Lakmnang, but also the head of all Buddhist temples in Pattani province. Because his fellow monks have reported on the radio about the atrocities being committed by the rebels, Dhamakhani is also in danger. He has already survived three rebel attacks. He would have been dead long ago without the protection of the two dozen soldiers stationed at his monastery.

It is seven in the morning, and reports of night attacks are already crackling from the walkie-talkie on his night table. Twelve schools were burned to the ground, but this time there were no casualties. For the rebels, Buddhist temples, military barracks, public buildings and minor officials, such as local mayors and teachers, are all hated symbols of the government in Bangkok.
At 10:15 a.m., an informant reports an explosion on National Route 409 near the village of Yarang, a 15-minute drive from the monastery. Dhamakhani immediately dispatches one of his reporters.

The police have sealed off the road. An armored vehicle has arrived with a soldier wearing a bulletproof vest and steel helmet in the turret, his machine gun in position. He nervously surveys the area. The rebels often place explosives in the underbrush, designed to explode when the troops arrive. There is a gaping hole in the asphalt. The explosion hurled a Toyota van with seven soldiers inside into the ditch. One soldier was beheaded and the others were injured.

A Volatile History

Tuwnedaniya Tuwaemaengae, 24, insists that he has nothing to do with the rebels. Although he is a chemistry student in Bangkok, he says that the Islamic revolution is currently more important to him than his studies. He organized a demonstration a few weeks ago which brought the provincial capital Pattani to a standstill. Now he is taking journalists on a tour of a village where soldiers allegedly committed atrocities against Muslims.

* Green helmet man sends his regards…

The villagers line up along the road to greet their visitors. The region in Narathiwat province is part of the “red zone” where the rebels collect taxes from the villagers to fund their insurgency. In the house of the local imam, villagers tell the story of an army raid and the murder of two young Muslim men. They point to two fresh grave mounds as evidence. But there is not a single bullet hole in the mosque, which villagers claim came under Thai army fire for several minutes.
Kritsada Pornwiriyaongkol, 67, sits drinking a beer in front of the empty office of Pattani’s chamber of commerce. The rebels’ influence in the province has robbed of all hope of ever being able to return to his land.

He operated a crab farm for 16 years. According to Kritsada, young men from nearby villages began loitering around his farm two years ago. Whenever he walked by, they would laugh and draw their index fingers across their throats.

Kritsada, intimidated, shut down his farm, but he doesn’t want to leave the south. “Where should I go?” he asks. “This is my home. I will stay here, even if it’s just to die.”

Terrorism pays: South Korea paid Taliban $2.46m for hostages

* Kidnapping and hostage taking for ransom is traditional Muhammedan business. Its not clear why the Taleban are trying to sound apologetic.

Spencer explains, here

Why argue with success? Terrorism works: Every time the brave mujaheddin kidnap Westerners, or in this case Korean would-be missionaries, their respective governments cave in and reward the kidnappers for their crime:

(AP) Al Bebeeceera

Terrified, dhimmified, submissive, forcibly converted to Islam?

The men accompanying the last hostages freed gave an unsigned note to journalists accusing the South Koreans of coming to Afghanistan on a mission to convert the staunchly Islamic country to Christianity.

They came to our nation to change our faith,’ the handwritten note read. The Afghan people have given their lives for their faith. This is the reason we arrested them.’

JANDA, Afghanistan – Taleban militants vowed to abduct more foreigners after ending a six-week hostage drama by releasing the last seven of a group of kidnapped South Koreans under a deal with the Seoul government.

We will do the same thing with the other allies in Afghanistan, because we found this way to be successful,’ Taleban spokesman Qari Yousef Ahmadi told the Associated Press via cell phone from an undisclosed location.

The seven hostages were handed over Thursday to the International Committee of the Red Cross in two separate exchanges close to the central Afghan city of Ghazni, Red Cross officials and an Associated Press reporter said. The freed hostages did not speak to reporters.

The final three released _ two women and a man _ were handed over by armed men on a main road in Janda district after apparently walking through the desert for some distance. Covered in dust, they were quickly bundled into a Red Cross vehicle and driven away.

The seven were part of a group of 23 church volunteers who were abducted on July 19 as they traveled by bus along a dangerous road in southern Afghanistan. The militants killed two men soon after taking them, and released two women earlier this month in what they termed a goodwill’ gesture. On Wednesday, the Taleban released the 12 other hostages.

Michelle Malkin: ‘Why caving in is a bad idea’

Al-Azhar University, the most respected institution in Sunni Islam, endorses ‘Umdat al-Salik, a manual of Islamic law that says this: “When a child or a woman is taken captive, they become slaves by the fact of capture, and the woman’s previous marriage is immediately annulled” (o9.13)? If the capture of non-combatants is forbidden by Islam, are we to believe that these captured women and children were acting as soldiers? If the vast majority of Muslims reject this sort of thing, why does Al-Azhar say that ‘Umdat al-Salik “conforms to the practice and faith of the orthodox Sunni community (ahl al-Sunna wa al-Juma’a)”?

If the killing of these hostages is likewise forbidden, why does the same manual stipulate that prisoners can be killed, exchanged for ransom (why exchanged for ransom, if they are not hostages?), enslaved, or released, depending on what is best for the Muslim community (o9.14)?

* Update:

Al Reuters uses a Muhammedan stringer  (Sayed Salahuddin) to cook the news for you:

South Korea pays Taliban $20 million ransom, Taliban promises to kidnap, kill more foreigners

Terrorism pays.

A senior Taliban commander said on condition of anonymity at the weekend that the deal also included a ransom payment of more than $US20 million ($24.32 million), which would be used to buy weapons and fund suicide attacks.

Swedish PM Responds to Iran and Pakistan

The Prime Minister of Sweden, Fredrik Reinfeldt, responds to the Muslim world’s ridiculous rage over the dreaded roundabout dogs of blasphemy: SvD: Reinfeldt om Muhammedprotesterna.

Translation thanks to Charles from LGF:

I think it is important to say two things. The first is that we have been very keen on a Sweden that will be a country where muslims and Christians, those that believe in God and those who don’t, can live side by side in mutual respect. We think that we have come very far. I have a responsibility for this to continue and to take initiative to deepen this reciprocity and respect.

* Fredrik Reinfeld will quickly find out that his failed idea of social engineering is a dead end when it comes to the soldiers of Allah…

At the same time we are very focused on standing up for freedom of expression which is a basic right in the law and which comes natural to us and which ensures that we do not make political decisions about what is published in newspapers. I want to keep it this way.

Another member of the government, Fredrik Malm, said:

There is no reason to keep quiet about this question. One must be crystal clear that in Sweden it is not the government that decides what appears in newspapers. Iran should change their own press laws and not try to change ours.

* Right on, Fredrik! May the Winds of Jihad blow all over Sweden!

Islam in Sweden

The number of ghettos (a phenomenon that until recently was unheard of in wealthy and egalitarian Scandinavian nations) has been increasing explosively. 14 years ago, there were only 3 such areas in all of Sweden. Today, there are 136. “Ghettos” are here defined as areas where fewer than 60% of the adult population are working, where few people vote and where school results are significantly below national minimum requirements. Integration spokesman for Folkpartiet, Mauricio Roias, is afraid that if nothing is done about the situation, these quarters will “break loose”, and that “people might get shot”
What Roias isn’t saying is that people ALREADY “get shot”, and stabbed, and mugged, and raped and get stones thrown at them in Sweden’s suburbs. The latest fad right now seems to be putting fire to schools, as quite a few school buildings have burnt down from suspected arson recently.
