Muslim cleric urges female genital mutilation

FGM is sanctioned by Islamic law: “Circumcision is obligatory (for every male and female) (by cutting off the piece of skin on the glans of the penis of the male, but circumcision of the female is by cutting out the bazr ‘clitoris’ [this is called khufaadh‘female circumcision’]).” — ‘Umdat al-Salik e4.3, translated by Mark Durie, The Third Choice, p. 64

Syedna Muffadal Saifuddin

“Bohra cleric urges female genital mutilation?,” by Mohua Das, Times of India, April 29, 2016 (thanks to The Religion of Peace via Jihad Watch):

MUMBAI: Efforts may be on to end the practice of female genital mutilation that young girls in the Dawoodi Bohra community are made to undergo in India but their spiritual leader may not be convinced yet as he went on to publicly encourage the act of khatna (female circumcision) albeit indirectly, in his recent sermon at the Saifee Mosque in Bhendi Bazaar.

A four-minute audio clip from Syedna Muffadal Saifuddin’s bayaan (speech) on the occasion of the 51st Syedna Taher Saifuddin’s death anniversary, has gone viral over a mobile messaging app and generated conversations within the community on how the Syedna’s endorsement may urge close followers of the spiritual head to continue with the painful practice.

The clip begins with a plea from the Syedna speaking in a mix of Gujarati and Urdu. “We should keep our things strong, stay firm. Even the big sovereign states, whatever it is they say, if it makes any difference to our things, then we are not prepared to understand!” he says and then adds. “The act has to happen! If it is a man, then it is right, it can be openly done, but if it is a woman then it must be done discreetly, but then the act has to be done. Please understand what I am trying to talk about…”

A Mumbai resident present at the Hussaini Mosque where the sermon was being beamed live on a giant screen confirmed that the clip was what he had heard being broadcast. “The Syedna was reading from a script which is usually the routine on such an occasion but all of a sudden he went off and started talking in a cryptic fashion. It was confusing at first. Then we gradually realized that he was talking about female circumcision when he used words like amal (act), mamlakat (states) and that the act must be carried out discreetly for women and openly for men. It was very disturbing for me and my wife,” he told TOI. A close friend of the Syedna family dismissed such an interpretation of the Syedna’s speech when TOI called him. “It was a general comment. Nothing specific. People are interpreting it differently,” he said alleging that, “Those close to the new claimant to the Syedna title are trying to target our revered Syedna (Muffadal Saifuddin).”

A 36-year-old Bohra woman who has lived through the horrors of khatna and currently settled in the US expressed her anguish having heard the clip. “Just a month ago many of us in the US received a letter from the jamaat (local community unit) that works under the Syedna’s guidelines. It said that we must follow the law of the land and not practice khatna. I was thrilled, at peace with my faith. What I just heard reflects hypocrisy. I’m disillusioned and worried.”

Hungary’s PM Orban slams plans for migrant quota fines

Thanks to TT:

It’s “outrageous” and a “kick in the stomach.” Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orban has slammed EU proposals to fine member states a quarter of a million euros for every migrant they refuse to take, as part of controversial quotas.

He says the focus should be on protecting Schengen borders and the running of refugee camps.

Orban told Hungarian public radio that the fine plans show that “those who should be our leaders in Brussels are sitting in an ivory tower, isolated from the world.

This is the leader Germany should have

Björn Höcke’s Speech in Munich, 22 October 2015

The following are Björn Höcke’s most prominent themes:

• that German patriotism, which the Thuringian AfD promotes, and here symbolised by the black, red and gold of the flag (traceable to the colours of Friedrich Barbarossa), is an important front in the battle for the survival of the German people;

• that German politicians express contempt for their own people both symbolically and in policy;

• that from an important statistical perspective, the evidence suggests that Germans are poised, in effect, to be reduced to a minority position in their own country as early as the end of 2016; and

• that the German people require a change in their understanding of themselves as a commonwealth if they are not to be abolished.

How to Pass as a ‘Moderate Muslim’ in the Media

Dean Obeidallah and Sam Harris on CNN with Don Lemon talking anti Muslim comments by Ben Carson

If you have ten minutes to spare, I recommend watching the above video, because it encapsulates better than most how difficult it is to even discuss the threat of political Islam.

My opponent was Dean Obeidallah. As incredible as it may seem, the man has since claimed that he mopped the floor with me in this exchange. I would not have thought such a degree of self-deception possible, but then I recalled Obeidallah’s response to my and Bill Maher’s encounter with Ben Affleck last year…

Paul Weston on the new Muslim mayor of London who calls moderate Muslims, “Uncle Toms”

The Innocence of Sadiq Khan
by Paul Weston
(via  Gates of Vienna)

When the prevailing ethos of a country’s political and media class is one of insanity and/or national suicide, no one should be too surprised when what was once thought unthinkable becomes a sudden and shocking reality. A good example of this is the crowning of Sadiq Khan as Mayor of London, which could be compared in terms of lunacy to the appointment of Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn as Chairman of the Friends of Israel Society.

I don’t necessarily think the smoothly urbane and thoroughly slippery Sadiq Khan is a potential leader of armed Islamic insurrection in London, but nor do I believe he is the benign and unthreatening sort of awfully-nice-Muslim-next-door-chappy that the BBC et. Al. would like us to believe. After all, if judged by the company Sadiq Khan has kept, he would appear to be yet another one of those Muslim politicians who say one thing to their Eloi English audience and quite another to their own community when well out of infidel earshot.

Consider the following: Mr Khan’s brother-in-law, Makbool Javaid, was a supporter of the terrorist organisation Al-Muhajiroun which became notorious for its September 2002 conference “The Magnificent 19” praising the September 11, 2001 attacks. Mr Javaid appeared alongside some of the country’s most infamous hate preachers, and in 1998 his name appeared on a fatwa calling for a “full-scale war of jihad” against Britain and the US.

Mr Khan’s brother-in-law went on to become head of Litigation Services at the Commission for Racial Equality… the further one looks down the multicultural rabbit hole of Britain, the more surreal the whole thing becomes. Mr Javaid is currently a partner at legal firm Simons Muirhead and Burton and lists amongst his Facebook friends CAGE director Moazzam Begg and fellow director Asim Qureshi, who described the Islamic State butcher Jihadi John as a “beautiful young man”. Sadiq Khan is intimately connected with all of these people, which is not something that could be said of Boris Johnson, London’s previous and altogether different type of Mayor.

Sadiq Khan was on the board of the “civil liberties” pressure group Liberty (NCCL) for three years, along with a certain Mr Azad Ali, who has excused the murder of British soldiers and was involved with the extremist organisations Islamic Forum of Europeand Jamaat e Islami. Azad Ali is currently Head of Community Development & Engagement at the organisation MEND which seeks to undermine the British government’s counter-terrorism strategy. And speaking of going down surreal rabbit holes, Azad Ali is an adviser to the police and Home Office on police procedure, a member of the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) and sits on the Home Office’s Trust and Confidence Community Panel… and last but not least is a board member of the extremist boot-boy outfit Unite Against Fascism, which is also supported by the British Prime Minister David Cameron…

OBAMA: INVADING COUNTRIES TO FIGHT TERRORISM IS COUNTERPRODUCTIVE

Daniel Greenfield

Cool story, bro. How is overthrowing governments to bring terrorists to power working out? We can ask whatever Libyans are still in the country. The Egyptians don’t seem like fans.

“The ideology has not been extinguished,” Obama acknowledged in an exclusive interview with CNN’s Peter Bergen on Monday night. “The world is still dangerous. In many ways, the Middle East is in a more chaotic situation.”

But — without directly referring to President George W. Bush’s decisions to send U.S. troops into Afghanistan and then Iraq — Obama said such large-scale operations, which continue to reverberate in the current presidential race, would only make the fight against extremism harder.

Obama said the idea of “sending 100,000 troops to invade every country where an organization like this appears going be counterproductive and, in some ways, feeds the kinds of ideology that we’re fighting.”

Whatever that ideology is. We could name it, but then we’d just be feeding it. Also we can name Obama, but we’d just be feeding him.

All these years later, Obama is still running against the Iraq War. You would think he would have stopped after actually making Iraq worse. His claim that withdrawal would lead to a political solution worked out rather badly. Unless he considers ISIS a good outcome. His illegal regime change operation in Libya, minus the 100,000 troops, worked out also really badly. Unless he considers ISIS a good outcome.

Pat Condell: If you pollute the river you kill all the life in it

Charlemagne wouldn’t like what they’re doing in his name:
Pope Francis has been presented the International Charlemagne Prize for his 'commitment to European Unity'.

Pope Francis has been presented with the International Charlemagne Prize, one of Europe’s most prestigious prizes, for his, ‘message of hope and encouragement’.

The award is given out to those who ‘promote European unity.’

Francis held a private audience on Friday morning with European parliament president Martin Schulz, a former Charlemagne Prize recipient, EU Commission President Jean-Claude Junker and EU Council President Donald Tusk, before the midday ceremony.

He also met German Chancellor Angela Merkel.

The Charlemagne prize is awarded annually by the German city of Aachen for contributions to European unity.

Previous winners include former US President Bill Clinton and St John Paul II, who received a special edition of the prize in 2004.

The Holy Roman emperor Charlemagne once ruled a large swath of western Europe from Aachen, near the Belgian border.

Why saying “Muslims are the new Jews” is wrong, factually — and morally

EZRA LEVANT

I hear it a lot: “We have to support the wave of mass Muslim migration to the west because of what happened to the Jews 75 years ago. The Muslims are the new Jews. You wouldn’t send the Jews back to Hitler’s Germany, would you?”

Except that, 75 years ago, Jews were fleeing the Holocaust, Hitler’s “final solution” to kill every Jew in the world.

Today, there is no Holocaust against Muslims. That whole “wipe out other people thing”? It’s pretty much the Muslims doing it.

The would-be Hitler today is Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the dictator of the Islamic State. They’re slaughtering a small religious group called Yezidis.

Yes, they kill some other Muslims, too. But that’s not “genocide.” It’s civil war.

Secondly, in the Nazi Holocaust, the Jews had nowhere to flee.

While today, there are 22 countries in the Arab League, and 57 countries in the Saudi-led Organization for Islamic Cooperation.

More than a quarter of the countries in the world are Muslim — but they’re the ones refusing to take in “refugees.”

Back in January, some “refugees” said they wanted to go back to the Middle East already, because their accommodations in Canada were not as luxurious as they’d hoped.

Could you imagine a Jew fleeing the Holocaust and coming to Canada, then complaining that his hotel accommodations weren’t good enough — so he was thinking of going back to Berlin?

I’ve got a much more accurate analogy for today’s situation.

WATCH and see what it is…

Video of beheading of Canadian hostage John Ridsdel by Abu Sayyaf

Thanks to the Rebel Media
Beheading of John Ridsdel

WARNING: THIS VIDEO CONTAINS GRAPHIC CONTENT. This is the actual video of the decapitation by knife of Canadian hostage, John Ridsdel. It is a difficult thing to see, even though much of it is blurred by a grey translucent square.

The reasons for posting this are two fold:

A CBC documentary about the Abu Sayyef whitewashd the ideological basis for this act of terrorism, to preserve the narrative that Islam is perfectly suitable for Canada, and perhaps even preferable to Christianity.

In fact, they include an interview with possibly the only person in the Philippines who believes that these are just “thugs with guns” and have no ideology at all.

In the video below, the Abu Sayyef terrorists can clearly be seen making the Islamic State salute, and chanting “Allah hu ackbar” (“Our god Allah is greater than your god”.)

Therefore, this murder is purely an ideological act, even if a ransom was requested, because kidnapping for ransom was how, historically, jihad has been funded by Muslims.

Londonistan’s got its first Muslim mayor

Muslim turnout was about 130% in the enriched areas.

Thanks to the Religion of Peace.

Sadiq Khan

Here’s what the Brits are saying about the hard-core Islamist past of London’t new Mayor:

Heat Street brought America the news that Sadiq Khan defended the 9/11 killer Zacarias Moussaoui, and called moderate Muslims “Uncle Toms”.

Sadiq also spoke at a CAGE rally – the extremist group that nurtured British Isis killer Jihadi John.

More here.

Imagine what Londonistan look like in four years!

Pamela Geller:

UK banned me from the country. It is already acting like a defacto Islamic state. That a man who has shared a platform with open Jew-haters could still be elected Mayor of London is an indication of how far gone Britain already is. In Sadiq Khan’s campaign, his opponents brought this up as a blot on his record. Soon enough in Britain, however, it will be a selling point for candidates appealing to an increasingly Muslim electorate.

Did anyone think the notoriously anti-semitic UK would vote for his opponent – a Jew? London is overrun – voter fraud in Muslim precincts is rampant. Not that you would need it.
