A German Judge Cites Koran in Divorce Case

By Veit Medick and Anna Reimann from Spiegel Online

He beat her and threatened her with murder. But because husband and wife were both from Morocco, a German divorce court judge saw no cause for alarm. It’s a religion thing, she argued.

*

The judge rejected the application for a speedy divorce by referring to a passage in the Koran that some have controversially interpreted to mean that a husband can beat his wife. It’s a supposed right which is the subject of intense debate among Muslim scholars and clerics alike.”The exercise of the right to castigate does not fulfill the hardship criteria as defined by Paragraph 1565 (of German federal law),” the daily Frankfurter Rundschau quoted the judge’s letter as saying. It must be taken into account, the judge argued, that both man and wife have Moroccan backgrounds.

“The husband can beat his wife”

There have been more cases like this:

In one case dating back to 1967  a young Turk raped (or seduced) the daughter of another turkish ‘Guestworker’- so the father of the girl went to the guys place and stabbed him to death. This was clearly premeditated murder, but the judge back then and there already applied another standard, since these people came from another ‘Kulturkreis’- (cultural background) the guy got away with 2 years.

A German (or non-muslim) would have got 12 to 15 years for the same thing.
What amazes is that female judges fall even more for this ‘cultural’ thing.
Left-leaning, ‘liberal’ types show more ‘understanding’ for this, which they don’t have for their own people. This judge may be in need of Nietsches Peitsche (whip) herself. Some people like it and don’t think its a bad thing at all….

Aid to Palestinians Fosters Culture of Dependency

Aid to Palestinians Fosters Culture of Dependency

*
A disturbing article in today’s New York Times (url at the end of the post) details what many have long known: that aid to the Palestinians, despite the embargo, is higher than last year; that the Palestinian territories were the third-largest recipients of aid from the United Nations, after Sudan and the Congo, and that the money does little good, and may actually be doing a great deal of damage, in terms of fostering a culture of dependency and eroding independent institutions. It’s really sad–the Palestinians have invested so much in a great p.r. machine, and the result is aid that will keep them as dependent on foreign aid as the Sudan. And perhaps as miserable.

JERUSALEM, March 20 — Despite the international embargo on aid to the Palestinian Authority since Hamas came to power a year ago, significantly more aid was delivered to the Palestinians in 2006 than in 2005, according to official figures from the United Nations, United States, European Union and International Monetary Fund.

While the United States and the European Union have led the boycott, they, too, provided more aid to the Palestinians in 2006 than 2005. Washington increased its aid to $468 million in 2006, from $400 million in 2005.

The whining cries of ‘crippling sanctions’:

In other words: The culture of death has been rewarded with bucket loads of jiziyah. The perverted and infiltrated ‘world-bodies’ like the EU and the UN are over-eager to pay tribute, to buy off and support our enemies, those who want to destroy  us, Israel and themselves. They siphon the wealth of their own civilized nations in order to support a cult of genocidal maniacs.

It won’t work.

Indonesian Jihadists get slap-on-the-wrist jail terms for schoolgirl beheadings

No surprises here:

Abu Bakr Bashir, the mastermind behind Bali one and two was out out in no time. Amrozi, brother Ali Imron, Samudra and Mukhlas have been sentenced to death but none of them has been executed. Instead, at least one of them was seen downtown Jakarta a while ago having Coffee at Starbucks. Will they ever be executed? Unlikely.

Islamic law mandates a lesser penalty for the killing of a non-Muslim than for the killing of a Muslim. A Christian who took revenge on some Muslims in Sulawesi recently was executed immediately. Westerners, Australians, caught with even minuscule amounts of drugs are dragged through the courts, which are no more than a corrupt circus designed to clean them out, totally. Excessive prison terms and execution await those who are naive or foolish enough to engage in the drug trade. What strikes me though is that our government officials talk as if we had to respect ‘their laws’ when we see such corruption and contempt not only for their own laws, but even more so for ours.

Here we are:

‘Moderate’ Indonesia, where a court just handed out appallingly light sentences to Islamic jihadists who beheaded three Christian schoolgirls:

“Indonesian militants get jail terms for beheadings,” from Reuters, with thanks to all who sent this in:

JAKARTA, March 21 (Reuters) – An Indonesian court jailed three Muslim militants on Wednesday for the beheadings of three Christian schoolgirls from religiously divided Central Sulawesi province.
Judges found the main defendant, Hasanuddin, guilty of masterminding the beheadings of the Christian girls in 2005 in Central Sulawesi’s Poso region and sentenced him to 20 years in prison.

A separate bench sentenced Hasanuddin’s accomplices, Lilik Purnomo and Irwanto Irano, to 14 years in prison.

Chief judge Binsar Siregar said Hasanuddin asked his accomplices to put the severed heads in plastic bags and place them outside Christian houses.

Hasanuddin scrawled a warning on a piece of paper saying: “A life for a life. A head for a head”, and put it in one of the bags, the judge said.

* Following you can see this despicable attempt by Reuters to justify it:

The attacks were aimed at avenging the killings of Muslims during the 1998-2001 inter-religious violence in Poso.

Andrew Bolt takes another sip of Cool Aid: Calls Muslim President ‘A brave and wise man, and worth supporting’

After heavy censorship on his blog, which makes it almost as antiseptic as an operating theater, Australia’s most outspoken ‘right wing’ journo Andrew Bolt from the Herald Sun makes another attempt to put lipstick on a pig:

By Andrew Bolt

A brave and wise man, and worth supporting:

In a report to be considered by imams at a meeting this weekend, Lebanese Muslim Association President Tom Zreika likens the unpopularity of Muslims to attitudes to communists, and urges spiritual leaders to improve the image of Islam in Australia.

* The ‘image’ of Islam. That’s what concerns him. Its not what Islam does, not the worldwide atrocities daily. What bothers him is ‘the image of Islam in Australia’…

Mr Zreika says in the report, commissioned by the powerful LMA, that Australians have “had enough of us”.

* Indeed. We’ve had a gut full…

“It would be great to see a turbaned imam fighting fires alongside other bushfire service volunteers,” Mr Zreika says in the submission to the Australian National Imams Council, which will meet for its first official conference in Sydney on Sunday.

* It would be ‘great’ but we will never see that. Sheik Omran, Feiz Mohammed, Al Hilali, are you hearing your presidents call already?

“Organisations like the Surf Life Saving Association … should be joined as a matter of course by the imam and his followers.”…

* Talk is cheap. Can you imagine having sheik Hilali give you mouth to mouth?

Mr Zreika blames the bad English-language skills of some imams for poor understanding and “bitterness” towards local Muslims.

* The moment their lips move they lie, in English and in Arabic. What’s the difference?

“We have become the new communism, particularly in the West, and some people in our community are so repulsed by our actions, it is making life unbearable for us and our offspring,” he says.

Andrew sez: That’s taking responsibility. It’s just a worry that it needed saying.

* Read the comments: Nobody buys it. Andrew must be the last fool left on the planet…

Apart from GWB (couldn’t resist adding that on)

Update: Hilaly critic needs police protection

Fitzgerald: On integrating Muslims in the West

Jihad Watch Board Vice President Hugh Fitzgerald discusses the little-noted difficulties involved in integrating Muslim populations in Western countries:

“Integration” will only lead to a loss of precious time. It will continue to hold out hope, when there is no hope for real integration. What is in the Qur’an, the Hadith, and the Sira, though it may not always be fully comprehended or distributed, remains, cannot be changed, and can always be appealed to by any Muslim who wishes. There is no way that those so-called, very slippery “moderate” Muslims can suggest that no, it is the “extremists” who are untrue to Islam. They aren’t untrue. They are perfectly loyal Muslims, good and righteous followers of that exemplar Muhammad. No Muslim can contend otherwise, although of course that is what many Muslims are doing — attempting to make Infidels believe that there is no problem, or that the problem can somehow be fixed. Yet they never tell us exactly how they are going to change those texts, those passages in the Qur’an, the Hadith, the Sira. And they cannot explain, and will not discuss, the real history of Muslim conquest and mistreatment of non-Muslims. For that matter, they will not explain, nor discuss, the treatment of Christians, Jews, Hindus, Sikhs, Zoroastrians (yes, about 150,000 remain in Iran), and all other non-Muslims. Why won’t they? Because they can’t.

If integration can’t work, except to benefit Muslims and keep the day of Infidel comprehension from arriving in time, and if non-integration can’t work, what then?

Sick as Sick can be: Brave Mujahideen Warriors Use Children in Car Bomb

There are no words:

Insurgents in Iraq detonated an explosives-rigged vehicle with two children in the back seat after US soldiers let it through a Baghdad checkpoint over the weekend, a senior US military official said Tuesday.

The vehicle was stopped at the checkpoint but was allowed through when soldiers saw the children in the back, said Major General Michael Barbero of the Pentagon’s Joint Staff. “Children in the back seat lowered suspicion. We let it move through. They parked the vehicle, and the adults ran out and detonated it with the children in the back,” Barbero said.
