Koran Grievance Theater: Churchill called it ‘a fanatical frenzy which is more dangerous than hydrophobia in a dog’…
Up to 600 Afghans are thought to have protested against what they called the desecration of the Koran by British forces when villagers claim soldiers knocked copies to the floor, the district governor said.
Numerous people describing themselves as demonstrators and residents also telephoned an agency reporter in the southern city of Kandahar to say some 600 people took part in the protest in Girishk district of neighbouring Helmand province.
Abdul Manaf, Girishk’s district governor, confirmed at least 150 people had demonstrated in the town, but that there had been no desecration of the holy book.
He suggested that Taliban fighters had spread false rumours to provoke a protest.

“The concern across Europe is we’ll soon be facing the same kind of threat Britain has been fighting for several years now,” explains a French counterterrorism official, referring to Pakistani communities within the U.K. whose cohesion and relative insulation have inadvertently created niches for virulent extremist activity well hidden from outside eyes. “What this means is growing numbers of tightly knit Pakistani immigrants around Europe who maintain close and frequent contact with people back home. Against that background, the eventuality of surging radicalism in Pakistan spreading to Pakistanis communities in Europe is virtually a given.”

Polls show that only one-third of Muslims in Germany want to integrate. And German authorities worry about the rise in the number of uneducated, imported brides and grooms from Turkey, who arrive through both arranged and forced marriages. The interior ministry says that nearly half a million spouses have been imported since the 1980s. Tens of thousands continue to arrive every year.

Woman of the Year

In 2005, Seyran Ates was named Germany’s woman of the year for her work in defense of Muslim women in immigrant communities.
While defending Muslim women for the last two decades, she’s been insulted and threatened by her clients’ husbands and relatives. She was always able to brush it off, until last year.
As she was about to enter a Berlin courtroom with a client filing for divorce, the husband assaulted the two women. The man called the lawyer a whore, shouting, “What ideas have you put in my wife’s head?” Ates says.
None of the many onlookers offered to help the women.
Ates says that brazen incident in public, at a time when she sees increasing Islamization in Europe, convinced her she had to shut down her practice. As a single mother, she says, her life and that of her young daughter have priority.

Belgrade, 21 Jan. (AKI) – Serbian terrorism expert, Darko Trifunovic, has cancelled a visit to Germany next week after claiming he received death threats from Muslim extremists.
Trifunovic, a professor at Belgrade University, said he has cancelled plans to attend the 11th European police congress in Berlin, after reporting death threats from alleged extremists in Bosnia.
Trifunovic, who has used the term “white Al-Qaeda”, to describe young European Muslims recruited by Islamic terrorist organisations, has been most outspoken on the activities of Islamic extremists in Bosnia and their links to Osama Bin Laden and al-Qaeda.

Willie Clitman Watch
The Al Qaeda Connection:

Date: Saturday, March 20, 2003
Place: Srebrenica-Potocari Memorial and Cemetery, Bosnia
What is this monument inscribed in Arabic script doing in Bosnia? What is it doing in the Western media declared “Heart of Europe?” None of the peoples of ex-Yugoslavia speak or understand Arabic. None. None of the Bosnian Muslims with exception of maybe a tiny minority of Islam clergy understands Arabic. So, for whom was this monument erected? The only answer to the puzzle could be the fact that round 10,000 foreign volunteers, jihad fighters, fought against the Christian population of Bosnia-Herzegovina. Most of these Islamic fanatics, members of Al Qaeda, came from Arab speaking countries.
And that is the answer to the puzzle.
America has right to know. As you will see from the text that follows – American government invested ONE MILLION dollars into this monument.

Hugh Fitzgerald comments:
The insensate greed of Bill Clinton — the amounts he has taken in, for himself and for his favorite 501(c)(3) “charities,” the ones that always seem to have his name attached — continues to amaze and disgust. Simply look at the sums he has taken in, from those lecture fees. Look at his friends (all of whom now seem to be billionaires, or at the very least millionaires), since leaving his time devoted to “public service.” And apparently he thinks this has gone unobserved, or that if he keeps smiling through, it will all be forgiven.
