BBC found guilty in Parliamentary report on the rise of anti-Semitism in the UK

(London) In the UK, political correctness has seen the growth of anti-Semitism by Islamic immigrants who are allowed to get away with their bigotry and racism by playing the 'Israel' card.

Throughout the country we see many examples of anti-Semitism by left-wing idiots, councils and even governmental bodies simply because they don't wish to offend... Muslims. That is why many councils have voted for the cutting of any links with Israel, the so called banning by councils of anything Israeli, the acute rise on physical attacks on Jews.

So, after the recent rise on attacks on Jews across Europe, the British Government asked for a report to be carried out on the rise of anti-Semitism in the UK.

Well, the report has been published and they found that the so called renowned BBC has been behind the manipulation of the masses by promoting anti-Semitic news reports as the news. Yes, it appears that the left-wing ideology of the BBC, which goes well out of its way in which to defend intolerant Islam every chance it gets:
  • replacing terrorist for militant
  • referring to Muslims as Asians
  • calling Islamic terrorists as misguided criminals
  • referring to any incident against a Muslim as a hate crime
  • downplaying every Islamic hate crime
  • and continuing to state that not all Muslims are terrorists
has no problem referring to each and every Jew as complicit in hatred towards non-Jews. Oh, for years the BBC has denied any allegation they promoted anti-Semitism, yet the British Parliamentary report states otherwise. I quote:
An antisemitic trope about Jewish control of politicians referenced by a BBC journalist.

In particular, the BBC, had a role to play in whipping up anger through emotive content in the news and analysis that was broadcast. There was certainly a significant focus on the conflict. Using various analytical tools, Dr Ben Gidley found that there had been particularly intense coverage of protests and demonstrations against Israel and the conflict in general when compared to other countries and conflicts.

“References to and interest in the ‘Jewish lobby’ was not only a feature of political debate.[…] We were warned however of “the capacity of this sort of article to generate troubling stereotypes” given a reference to ‘the Jewish lobby’ was made when the article was discussed on the BBC News Channel. We note that the language used to collectively describe Jews was raised again in this regard in early 2015.”

Follower of Mohammed attacks Danish Cafe hosting free speech debate, killing 1 wounding 3 others

(Copenhagen) In yet another example of the intolerance expressed towards anybody who discusses Islam and free speech, a gunman tonight attacked a cafe (Krudttonden) in the Danish captial which was hosting an event on free speech.


The event which was attended by the French Ambassador to Denmark and the Swedish cartoonist Lars Vilks (the Swedish artist who has faced death threats for caricaturing the the pedophillic founder of Islam, Muhammad), appears to have offended somebody from the religion of peace to tip up and empty around 200 rounds into the venue. However, after the attack on Charlie Hebdo, the authorities placed armed police outside and they returned fire, preventing a mass murder. Still, the gunman was able to get away, leaving 1 person dead and another 3 policemen injured. Danish Police have issued pictures of the gunman.


But was the attack an unexpected surprise? No.

ISIS jihadists seize western Iraqi town

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Islamic State insurgents took control on Thursday of most of the western Iraqi town of al-Baghdadi, threatening an air base where U.S. Marines are training Iraqi troops, officials said.

Al-Baghdadi, about 85 km (50 miles) northwest of Ramadi in Anbar province, had been besieged for months by the radical Sunni Islamist militants who captured vast swathes of northern and western Iraq last year.

"Ninety percent of al-Baghdadi district has fallen under the control of the insurgents," district manager Naji Arak told Reuters by phone.

Militants attacked al-Baghdadi from two directions earlier in the day and then advanced on the town, intelligence sources and officials in the Jazeera and Badiya operations commands said.

The officials said another group of insurgents then attacked the heavily-guarded Ain al-Asad air base five km southwest of the town, but were unable to break into it.

About 320 U.S. Marines are training members of the Iraqi 7th Division at the base, which has been struck by mortar fire on at least one previous occasion since December.

UN warns Yemen 'collapsing' as Al Qaeda seizes army camp

Sanaa (AFP) - UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon warned Thursday that Yemen was falling apart and called for action to avert chaos, as Al-Qaeda fighters overran an army camp and seized heavy weaponry.

The UN chief was reporting to the 15-member council after talks with Gulf officials that he said concentrated on "preventing civil war in Yemen".

"Let me be clear: Yemen is collapsing before our eyes. We cannot stand by and watch," Ban told the council.

Two more British police forces admit to asking news agents for names of customers who bought Charlie Hebdo

(England) The other day I wrote about how a British police force had demanded from news agents the names of people who had purchased the survivor issue of Charlie Hebdo, but when caught out, apologised and stated that they had removed those names from the national police database.

Well, what do you know, it transpires that 2 more police forces in the UK have admitted to taking the names of people who bought that issue of  Charlie Hebdo. Yup, it appears in politically correct Britain the authorities who have allowed Islamic hate mongers to strut their stuff for over 15 years, who not only remained silent on Islamic rape gangs but castigated those who brought the matter to the police, who can't prevent Islamic terrorists from leaving the Island whilst under observation, are more than happy to keep an eye on people who have committed the crime of... purchasing a legal (and within the law) magazine in the UK. Welcome to Londonistan.

From Iran with Love: Obama Hung in Effigy by Iranians at Anniversary March for 1979 Revolution


Obama's foreign policy fail

(Cairo) Well, Obama really is going to go down as the idiot who ruined America's reputation, what with North Korea, Iran, Russia and China all fancying their chances, by turning his back on the UK, Israel and Taiwan and by trying to treat Islamic terrorists as misguided criminals. You can see why America's standing in the world has plummeted since Bush left office.

An in yet another fail of American foreign policy, Egypt which procures all its weapons from the US has decided that getting told to respect the rights of Islamic terrorists by a country which bombs them from the air just isn't on and by withholding the delivery of F-16 jets a few years back got them looking elsewhere, which is why the breaking news at the moment is that Egypt is on the cusp of purchasing 24 French Rafale jets. Yes, the plane that France couldn't sell to anybody is the one the Pharaohs want after Obama tried to tell them how to treat their terrorists by withholding weapons systems already paid for.

Way to go, Obama.

One MILLION Child Victims of Muslim Rape Gangs in the U.K.?

(FPM) In a gut-wrenching development, it may turn out that last year’s report detailing a decade-and-a-half of sexual exploitation inflicted on at least 1,400 children from Rotherham, England—and the PC-driven effort to cover it up–may represent the proverbial tip of the iceberg. The city’s Labor MP Sarah Champion believes as many as one million children may have been victimized, describing it as a “national disaster” that requires the establishment of a task force to deal with the “horror.”

Champion picks up the story following the release of a report, titled “The Independent Inquiry Into Child Exploitation in Rotherham, 1997-2013.” “The day after the first report broke the victims started coming to me,” she told the Daily Mirror. “They couldn’t go to the police, they couldn’t go to the (Rotherham Borough) Council. So who do you go to?”

“For the first three weeks I generally thought I was losing my mind. I nearly lost my mind because of the level of depravity and horror,” she continued. “Listening to what these, now women, had gone through and how they were just left discarded, to flounder on their own. It was utterly mind-blowing and then the problem I had was that I was getting new cases coming to me, ones that hadn’t been reported which they wanted me to report. But I didn’t know who I could trust in the police to report it.”

“There was this parallel universe going on and it is mind-blowing,” she added, revealing that an average of 10 victims per week are seeking her help. Furthermore, it seems her concerns about the police were well-founded: a month after the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) began its investigation, 14 officers were suspended.

Obama Yemen success update: US closing embassy in Yemen amid continued unrest

WASHINGTON (AP) — The United States is closing its embassy in Yemen amid political deadlock and deteriorating security conditions after the takeover of the country by Shiite rebels, two U.S. officials said.

The officials said that diplomats were being evacuated from the country on Tuesday and that the embassy in Sanaa would suspend operations until conditions improve. Yemen has been in crisis for months with Iran-linked Shiite Houthi rebels besieging the capital and then taking control. The U.S. officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the closure publicly on the record.

England: Muslims demand newly buried body next to their loved one is exhumed as it belongs to an unbeliever

(Hinckley) 89-year-old Shadrack Smith died in January and was buried last Friday at the multi-faith cemetery at Burbage in Leicestershire. However, it transpires the family of the man buried in the next plot have objected. Due to the fact that, as their loved one was a Muslim and as Mr Smith was an unbeliever, they have demanded that he be exhumed and reburied elsewhere. It seems that even in death, nobody is safe from the intolerance expressed by... Islam.

British Muslim convert in court over plot to behead British soldier


(London) 21-year-old Brustholm Ziamani presumed he saw the light a few years ago and left the Christian faith in which to become a follower of... Mohammed. As a Muslim, he quickly became angry with the British for all the killings going on in... Syria. (Err, what part of we voted to keep out of Syria didn't you understand yer racist bigot?) In a hate filled diatribe to his Christian parents he vented his spleen:
To my beloved parents. Wat im about to do is an obligation."Syrah 2:216 'Jihad holy fighting in Allah's cause is ordained for you Muslims though you dislike it and it may be that you dislike a thing which is good for you and that you like a thing which is bad for you Allah knows but you do not know'."Forgive me for all the stress ive caused you in the past im so sorry but im a changed person but now with the current situation in Iraq and Syria and neighbouring countries my brothers and sisters are being raped killed, tortured."Women losing their kids and husbands and it really pains me that people just stand and do nothing and this country has a big role to play in this they know exactly was they r doing they don't care and it's a duty to help my brothers and sisters because I have no means ov gettin there I will wage war against the british government on this soil the british government will have a taste ov there own medicine they will be humiliated this is ISIB Islamic States of Ireland and Britain...."Now we will take a thousand ov yours then ten thousands and send you all to the hell-fire you want war you got it British soldiers heads will be removed and burend u cannot deafet the muslims we love to die the way you love to live my fellow muslim brothers these people want war lets kill them slaughter them and implement sharia in our lands and UK. Kill every gay, every Shia, every Les. Die the nonbelievers enuff iz enuff remove evil implent good. [sic]"Don't be there friends HAHAHAHAHAHA Looool!! Lee Rigby is burnin in hell woow im dying good for him this is what you get for voting Cameron and democracy my brothers who are lee rigby's killers are in prison gettin food clothes and shelter and its being paid for by lee rigby's family HAHA this world is our prison and your paradise our God Allah promised us paradise you's goin to the hell-fire brothers pick up your swords gins bombs take off there limbs we should do a 9/11 and 7/7 and Woolwich all in one day everyday for 8 yrs to dz people don't try n feel sorry for them this is 2 ALL Muslims fight dz people n be a mujahid may Allah give us victory.Anyway after the above diatribe, he carried out an internet search of Army cadet units in his neighbourhood. (Note he was willing to attack children and not men who would kick his arse) and after packing his bag with a 12-inch knife and a pick hammer wrapped in an Islamic flag he  boasted to his ex-girlfriend how he was going to ‘kill soldiers and government people’ in ‘another Lee Rigby’. Silly thing to do as she informed the police and they picked him up as he walked to the nearest cadet unit for Allah.
So after packing his bag with an ISIS flag,knife and a hammer he walked in the direction of the nearest Army camp in search of a child cadet victim, thankfully for everyone, his ex girlfriend had tipped off the police and they picked him up.

Well, in court, it has come out in the wash, that this jihadist, had been arrested just days before on terrorism charges, but had been released on bail. (Way to go, British justice system.) Anyway, his court case continues. However, dick-spalsh is currently pleading his innocence.

British police force apologises for taking details of Charlie Hebdo readers

(England) Political correctness has become something of a runaway train in the UK, which is why Islamic rape gangs have been getting away with their peccadilloes for so long, which is why the media refuses to refer to Islamic terrorists as terrorists and why in over 30 years not one person has been charged and prosecuted for Female Genital Mutilation (yet there are 66,000 girls in Britain who are already victims of FGM, with another 30,000 at risk).

Well, maybe that explains why Wiltshire Police decided to demand from Newsagents the details of anybody who purchased the survivor edition of the French satirical magazine 'Charlie Hebdo' in the wake of the Paris terror attacks. Yes you heard that right, the British Police demanded they be given the names of these 'presumably' latent terrorists. When this was made public, Wiltshire Islamic police force quickly issued this statement:
“Following the terrorism incident in Paris, France on 7 January 2015, Wiltshire police undertook an assessment of community tensions across the county. As part of this work, local sector policing teams were asked to be mindful of business premises, in particular newsagents who may be distributing the Charlie Hebdo magazine and to consider that these shops may be vulnerable.
Followed by:
“Wiltshire police would like to apologise to the members of public who may be affected by this. Information relating to this specific incident has been permanently and securely disposed of."
No doubt Wiltshire finest will be sparing no effort in trying to track me down.

Muslims hold huge protest in London attacking freedom of speech

(England) Weeks after Islamic gunmen attacked and murdered 12 innocent people in Paris over a cartoon of their Paedophilic founder. Muslims in the UK descended in their thousands on London this past Sunday in which to bitch about the 'freedom of speech and expression' which is written into the DNA of most non-Islamic countries. (Funny enough the same FoS and FoE, which millions of Muslims from the third world come searching for when they leave their so called superior motherland)
Anyway on marching on mass down whitehall, they then decided to do as all Muslims do in the West by protesting their victim status regards their public image in the West. You'd think that anybody with such an image problem would have protested in their thousands against the idiots in their midst. Instead all we have heard is...."Why should we apologise for Islamic hate crimes"

Report: Syria death toll now exceeds 210,000


AMMAN (Reuters) - The death toll after nearly four years of civil war in Syria has risen to 210,060, nearly half of them civilians, but the real figure is probably much higher, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said on Saturday.

The Observatory, which is based in Britain and has a network of activists across Syria, said that 10,664 children and 6,783 women were among the dead.

Reuters tried to contact Syrian authorities for comment, but they were not immediately available.

Peaceful protests against four decades of rule by President Bashar al-Assad's family in March 2011 degenerated into an armed insurgency following a fierce security crackdown.

The rights group said it had counted 35,827 Syrian rebels and 45,385 Syrian army soldiers killed. The Observatory's toll could not be independently verified by Reuters.

Among the Observatory's documented deaths were 24,989 foreign jihadist fighters, including radical Sunni rebel groups such as Al Qaeda offshoot Nusra Front and Islamic State.

But the total death toll was likely to be much higher, perhaps by more than 85,000, said the group's chief, Rami Abdul Rahman. Groups on both sides try to hide their casualties, he said, making the fighter death toll very difficult to gauge.

Over 3,000 fighters belonging to Shi'ite militias and groups in Iraq and Iran, including 640 from Lebanon's Hezbollah, died fighting alongside the Syrian army, the group said.

Abdul Rahman said all the cases included in its 210,000 death count were those it could verify with either name and identification documents, or pictures or videos.

Syria had a population of some 23 million before the outbreak of the war. Beside the dead and injured, the United Nations says some 3.73 million Syrians have fled the country and officially registered as refugees abroad.

The rights group also said the war had left 1.5 million Syrians with some type of injury and permanent disability.

Hamas official's car blown up in Gaza

Given the rising tensions between Hamas and Fatah and the fact that the intended target wasn't killed (such an inompetence), it is reasonable to suspect that Fatah is behind it.
(Haaretz) The car of a Hamas official was blown up in Gaza on Friday night, Al-Akhbar reported. It was the second such incident in recent weeks.

"Police have opened an investigation after a makeshift bomb blew up the car of Sheikh Sami Hams in Nuseirat refugee camp," south of Gaza City, a security official told AFP on condition of anonymity.

Witnesses said that the car was totally destroyed. Hams was not in the car at the time and no casualties were reported.

It was the latest in a series of unclaimed attacks in Gaza against both Hamas and Fatah officials. On January 22, unidentified assailants blew up a car belonging to a Fatah leader. Two days earlier, the car of the chief financial officer in the Hamas military police was bombed outside his home.

The bombing spree comes as political tensions mount in the Gaza Strip over the seeming failure of the Fatah-dominated Palestinian Authority to ease the Israeli blockade and repair the damage caused by last summer's war.

6 Muslim immigrants from Bosnia arrested across US for supporting ISIS and Al Qaeda

(Fox News) Six Bosnian natives who immigrated to the U.S. sent money and military equipment to support Al Qaeda in Iraq and the Islamic State terror group, the Justice Department said Friday night.

The conspiracy, which authorities say dates back to May 2013, supported Abdullah Ramo Pazara and others fighting with the terror groups, according to a federal indictment.

The suspects sent multiple payments using PayPal, as well as U.S. military uniforms, combat boots, tactical clothing and gear, military surplus goods, firearms accessories, rifle scopes and first aid supplies to Turkey.

The supplies and money eventually made their way to fighters in Syria, Iraq and elsewhere. Money was also sent to family members of people fighting in Iraq, and elsewhere. The indictment says the defendants knew where the money and supplies were going.

The indictment said members of the group used telephones and Facebook to send and receive messages, using fictitious names and code words including "Lions," "Bosnian brothers" and "mujahids."

All six were charged with conspiring to provide material support and resources to terrorists. Those charged were Ramiz Zijad Hodzic, 40, his wife Sedina Unkic Hodzic, 35, and Armin Harcevic, 37, all of St. Louis County, Mo.; Nihad Rosic, 26, of Utica, N.Y.; Mediha Medy Salkicevic, 34 of Schiller Park, Ill.; and Jasminka Ramic, 42, of Rockford, Ill. The charge carried a maximum sentence of 15 years in prison and fines up to $250,000.

Ramiz Zijad Hodzic and Nihad Rosic also were charged with conspiring to kill and maim people in a foreign country, and face life in prison if convicted.

Five of the suspects have been arrested, while Pazara left the United States in late May 2013, the indictment said. According to some reports Friday, he is believed to have been killed last year.

Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif., the chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, said Friday that the arrests are proof that the Islamic State group, also known as ISIS, or ISIL, is a "growing threat."

"ISIL presents a growing threat not only in Syria and Iraq, but throughout the Middle East, North Africa, Europe, and now in the United States as well," Nunes said in a statement. "Terrorists and their enablers will continue to receive the unwavering attention of law enforcement and the intelligence community.”

Egypt claims to have lilled 47 ISIS aligned jihadists in Sinai

Faster, please!
(Al Jazeera) Egyptian military air strikes have killed at least 27 fighters in Northern Sinai region in one of the biggest security operations in the region in months, security sources say.

Apache helicopters on Friday targeted fighters belonging to Sinai Province, which has pledged allegiance to the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) group, the sources said.

Hours later, soldiers shot and killed 20 fighters, the sources added.

Sinai Province, fighting to topple the Egyptian government, has claimed responsibility for coordinated attacks that killed more than 30 members of the security forces in late January.

Afterwards, President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi told Egyptians the country faced a long, tough battle against the group.

Sinai-based fighters have killed hundreds of soldiers and police since Sisi toppled President Mohamed Morsi of the Muslim Brotherhood group in mid-2013 after mass protests against his rule.

A security crackdown on Brotherhood supporters, in which hundreds were killed in the streets and thousands arrested, has weakened the group.

On Friday, Brotherhood supporters and security forces clashed in the Cairo suburb of Matariya, the state news agency reported.

Niger and Chad claim to have killed 109 Boko Haram jihadists

That's a start.
Niamey (AFP) - Boko Haram launched its first major attack in Niger on Friday, triggering a forceful response from regional troops who claimed to have killed more than a hundred of the Islamists.

The clashes in Bosso and Diffa, along the border with Nigeria, marked yet another expansion of violence attributed to Boko Haram, but it seemed to have come at a heavy cost.

Niger's defence minister reported that 109 of the Islamists were killed, along with four soldiers and a civilian. Seventeen other troops were wounded.

Chadian forces, who have taken a lead role in battling Boko Haram in recent days, fought alongside Niger troops on Friday. Its commander in Niger, General Yaya Daoud, was also wounded with a gunshot to the stomach, a security source said.

Niger Defence Minister Mahamadou Karidjo said calm had been restored to both areas.

Shiite rebels take power in Yemen, fan fears of civil war

Yemen, as Obama declared, is one if his foreign policy success stories.
SANAA, Yemen (AP) — Yemen's Shiite rebels proclaimed a formal takeover of the Arab nation Friday, dissolving parliament in a dramatic move that completes their power grab in the region's poorest nation where an al-Qaida terrorist offshoot flourishes.

Angry demonstrators protested the rebels' move in street rallies in several cities, raising fears of a full-blown sectarian conflict between Yemen's new Shiite tribal rulers, known as Houthis, and the disenfranchised Sunni majority.

The unrest could strengthen Yemen's al-Qaida branch, considered the world's most dangerous wing of the terror movement, and complicate U.S. counter-terrorism operations in Saudi Arabia's southern neighbor. While Houthi rebels are bitter enemies to al-Qaida, they also are hostile to the United States, and frosty to the predominantly Sunni Saudis. The region's Shiite powerhouse, Iran, looms as a potential key backer.

White House spokesman Eric Schultz said the United States was "deeply concerned with this unilateral step," but insisted the Houthis' declaration as the true government of Yemen following a four-month insurrection would not affect U.S. counterterrorism efforts there.

ISIS "claims" American hostage Kayla Jean Mueller killed in Jordanian airstrike in Syria

(NBO News) American hostage Kayla Jean Mueller has been killed in a Jordanian airstrike outside the Syrian city of Raqqah, the Islamic State (ISIS) group claims in a statement distributed online on Friday, which included three photographs of a partially destroyed building where Mueller allegedly died.

“The criminal Crusader coalition aircraft bombed a site outside the city of Raqqah today at noon while the people were performing Friday prayers, and the continuous raids on the same location lasted for more than an hour,” the group said in an Arabic-language statement, which was signed by the ‘Information Office of the Government of Raqqah.’

The statement added that none of its fighters were injured by the airstrike, and American hostage Kayla Jean Mueller was said to be the only casualty.
US can't confirm IS hostage claim, family urges caution
Washington (AFP) - The United States said Friday that it has not yet seen any proof to confirm a claim by the Islamic State group that a female American hostage has been killed in an air strike in Syria by a Jordanian plane.

The family of Kayla Mueller, 26, meanwhile urged media to be restrained in their reporting of the IS claim about the aid worker.

"The family... request that media cautiously report on her background, work and current situation and limit speculation on her situation, and consider the implications for her security before publishing," said a statement by her parents, Marsha and Carla Mueller.

Mueller was taken captive in August 2013 in the Syrian city of Aleppo, while working for a Spanish Medecins Sans Frontieres (Doctors Without Borders) hospital, according to the family statement, released via Arizona senator John McCain.

In a statement posted on jihadist websites, the IS group said the woman was buried beneath rubble after an air raid by a Jordanian warplane in Raqa.

The statement did not show any pictures of a body and there was no independent confirmation of her reported death.

National Security Council spokeswoman Bernadette Meehan would only say: "We are obviously deeply concerned by these reports. We have not at this time seen any evidence that corroborates ISIL's claim."

Thousands of Gazans Protest 'Pro-Zionist' Egypt


Gazans shout Hamas slogans against Egypt ban, as Hamas leaders call breakdown in relations 'a real disaster.'
(INN) Thousands of Gazans demonstrated on Thursday night at the border between Gaza and Egypt, in protest against a decision by an Egyptian court to define the Al-Qassam Brigades - the "military wing" of Hamas - as a terror organization.

Palestine newspaper, the official mouthpiece of Hamas, says that protesters gathered near the Rafah crossing and waved Hamas flags, shouted slogans against the Egyptian court's decision and demanded that Egypt open the border with Gaza.

Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri said in a speech at the demonstration that the Egyptian court's decision is "a real disaster because it turns the tables and sees the occupiers [Israel - ed.] as a friend and the Palestinian people as a foe."

He called the Egyptian judges and members of the media in Egypt a "pro-Zionist group," which harms Gaza from afar through their actions and via the Egyptian army.

While the Egyptian government of Islamist Mohammed Morsi of the Muslim Brotherhood, of which Hamas is a Gazan offshoot, was friendly with Hamas, the military-led government that ousted him has cracked down on the group, which it accuses of an attack on Egyptian police headquarters, and of planning church bombings in Sinai.

Most recently, Egypt accused Hamas of providing the weapons used by terrorists for two lethal attacks in El-Arish in October, in which dozens of soldiers were killed.

Egypt declared a state of emergency in the Sinai following that attack and began to create a buffer zone along the border with Gaza, expelling thousands of residents and demolishing hundreds of homes.

Hamas has been particularly indignant over the blacklisting announcement, however, and another official stated earlier this week that calling Hamas a "terror group" is "rewriting history."

ISIS Burns Three Iraqis Alive

Obama to blame the Crusades.
(RFERL) Officials and eyewitnesses say Islamic State (IS) militants have burned at least three people alive in Iraq's western Anbar Province.

The victims, residents of an area near the town of Hit, some 200 kilometers west of Baghdad, were suspected of informing Iraqi security forces about the militants' movements.

Our correspondent says the militant group also accused the victims of encouraging people to join tribal forces who are fighting against IS.

Anbar officials said in a statement that one of the victims was a former police officer.

Residents of the area were reportedly forced to come to the site of the burning and watch the incident.

The killings, which come shortly after the release of an IS video purporting to show the immolation of captured Jordanian pilot Muath al-Kasasbeh, is the first known instance of civilians being burned alive in revenge for their opposition to the militant group.

Gaza Hamas supporters protest against Egypt 'terror' ruling

Gaza City (Palestinian Territories) (AFP) - Hundreds of Palestinians demonstrated outside Egypt's diplomatic mission in Gaza City Friday, to protest a Cairo court ruling designating Hamas's armed wing as a terrorist group.

They waved green Hamas flags and chanted in support of the Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades: "Qassam are the pride of the nation, not terrorists!"

In a sign of worsening relations between the Islamist movement and the Egyptian government, the Egyptian court banned the Brigades Saturday and declared it a terrorist group.

Speaking of ISIS at National Prayer Breakfast, Obama condemned those who would distort "our religion"


Another "my Muslim faith" moment.
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama on Thursday condemned those who seek to use religion as a rationale for carrying out violence around the world. "No god condones terror," he said.

"We are summoned to push back against those who would distort our religion for their nihilistic ends," Obama said at the National Prayer Breakfast.

He singled out the Islamic State group in Iraq and Syria, calling the militants a "death cult," as well as those responsible for last month's attacks in Paris and deadly assault on a school in Pakistan.

British News Anchor: Anti-Semitism OK 'If You're Palestinian'

(INN) In what is becoming an all too common occurrence for many British Jews, a UK news presenter is facing criticism for comments in which he appeared to at least partially justify anti-Semitic attacks.

The comment was made by senior Sky News correspondent Eamonn Holmes, during a live show discussing recent findings that anti-Semitism in the UK reached an all-time high in 2014.

Noting that the study - conducted by the Community Security Trust (CST) anti-Semitism watchdog - points to last summer's war between Israel and Gazan terrorists as "the single biggest factor" in the massive spike in anti-Semitic crimes, the show's guests emphasized that regardless of one's opinions it could not justify attacking innocent Jews in Britain who have no connection to the conflict.

In making that point, Jewish radio and TV presenter Jonny Gould noted that "the fact that it is happening around the Gaza conflict and as a consequence of it might be an understanding as to how to tackle it, but it can never be justification."

Holmes response? "It can, if you are Palestinian."

"If you are an anti-Semitic Palestinian, yes," Gould shot back.

Watch - Sky News presenter justifies anti-Semitism "if you're a Palestinian":

Gould's comeback aside, Holmes continued to play down the unacceptable nature of anti-Jewish hate crimes by suggesting that the fact that people used the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as a pretext to attack Jews wasn't "surprising."

A spokesman for the UK's Campaign Against Anti-Semitism slammed the comments.

"Eamonn Holmes seemed to be suggesting being Palestinian is a justification for carrying out anti-Semitic attacks. This is ludicrous," Jonathan Sacerdoti told Arutz Sheva.

"That Gaza is now frequently evoked when people are abusing British Jews, only shows that some have found a new way to express their anti-Semitism safe in the belief that they will not be challenged," he said. "But nothing can ever justify anti-Semitic attacks on Jewish people, whatever Eamonn Holmes says."

Sacerdoti also noted the ironic implications of Holme's comments regarding Palestinians as well, pointing out that "quite apart from anything else, Holmes' assertion is offensive to Palestinians who are not anti-Semites."

Media watchdog Honest Reporting also criticized Holmes for the comments.

"What exactly did Eamonn Holmes mean?" read a statement on its website. "The context of the conversation was specifically dealing with anti-Semitism in Britain. Would Holmes find it justifiable for a Palestinian living in the UK to carry out an anti-Semitic act against a British Jew?

"Or is he simply stating that Palestinian anti-Semitism against Israeli Jews is understandable and even justified?"

Par for the course in merry old England

This is far from the first such incident of a prominent news presenter or reporter either playing down, justifying or blaming Israel for anti-Semitism on a major UK TV outlet.

Just last week, on none other than International Holocaust Memorial Day, another senior Sky News anchor did the very same thing.

Interviewing British Chief Rabbi Efraim Mirvis, Adam Bolton repeatedly suggested that Israel was to blame for anti-Semitism, as opposed to those actively carrying out or inciting anti-Semitic attacks, triggering outrage among British Jews.

The BBC has also come under fire for similar such incidents - most notoriously the outrageous heckling of a Jewish demonstrator at last month's anti-terror march in Paris by senior BBC correspondent Tim Wilcox.

In a bizarre response to the woman's fears over rising anti-Semitism in France following the attack on a kosher supermarket in which four Jewish shoppers were murdered, Wilcox tied the attack to Israel, interrupting mid-sentence to inform her that "many critics though of Israel's policy would suggest that the Palestinians suffer hugely at Jewish hands as well."

Since then, the BBC has come under fire for a tweet on the eve of Holocaust Memorial Day asking whether it was time "to lay the Holocaust to rest."

The Corporation - which is funded by British taxpayers' money - has also been accused of "race-baiting" the Jewish community, after inviting radical anti-Israel MP George Galloway to a televized debate in the heart of London's Jewish community.

ISIS executes 3 Chinese ISIS members

They wanted to go home. They went to Syria to do evil and evil was done to them.
BEIJING: ISIS has killed three Chinese militants who joined its ranks in Syria and Iraq and later attempted to flee, a Chinese state-run newspaper said, the latest account of fighters from China embroiled in the Middle East conflict.

China has expressed concern about the rise of ISIS, nervous about the effect it could have on its Xinjiang region, which borders Pakistan and Afghanistan.

But Beijing has also shown no sign of wanting to take part in the U.S.-led coalition's efforts to use military force against the militant group.

Around 300 Chinese extremists were fighting with ISIS after travelling to Turkey, the Global Times, a tabloid run by China's ruling Communist Party's official newspaper, said in December.

The paper on Thursday cited an unnamed Kurdish security official as saying that a Chinese man was "arrested, tried and shot dead" in Syria in late September by ISIS after he became disillusioned with jihad and attempted to return to Turkey to attend university.

"Another two Chinese militants were beheaded in late December in Iraq, along with 11 others from six countries. The Islamic State charged them with treason and accused them of trying to escape," the official said, according to the paper.

Left-wing British council found guilty of covering up Islamic rape gangs

(Rotherham) Last year, a damning report into the city of Rotherham revealed that over a 13-year period (funny enough, when a left-wing government was in power), over 1400 young girls were abused by paedophilic gangs, all of whom were of Pakistani heritage. At the time, the council members refused to accept that report and demanded another investigation in which to clear their name over allegations that they covered up the abuse.

In reply, the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, Eric Pickles, announced that an independent investigation would be held into whether Rotherham Council covered up information about the abuse. The investigation would be led by Louise Casey, Director-General of the government's Troubled Families programme, and would examine the council's governance, services for children and young people, and taxi and private hire licensing.

Well, today, Louise Casey made public her findings and it found that
“The council’s culture is unhealthy: bullying, sexism, suppression and misplaced ‘political correctness’ have cemented its failures. The council is currently incapable of tackling its weaknesses without a sustained intervention.”

She also criticised the council’s deep-rooted culture of suppressing bad news and ignoring hard issues, writing: “RMBC goes to some length to cover up information and to silence whistleblowers.” Her “reluctant” conclusion was that “both today and in the past, Rotherham has at times taken more care of its reputation than it has its most needy”.
With that report, the government has taken over control of Rotherham council, and the entire Labour led council has resigned. Yet, after report which exposed their inability to tackle Islamic rape gangs, the left-wing council members are still adamant that rather than the young girls who were raped by these disgusting Islamic rape gangs, it is they, the fat cat so called champions of their society who are the real victims.
70% of current Rotherham councillors, including cabinet members, dispute Jay’s findings. One told Casey’s team: “I would challenge lots of the Jay report, we feel bruised by it. Where is our right of reply? Who is fighting our corner? People are rolling over and just accepting it.
Yup, the very same people who covered up the acts of Pakistani rape gangs by silencing the whistleblowers and who even closed down a project designed to highlight such problems because they exposed so many paedophiles from within the Pakistani community can only see themselves as victims.

Funny enough, 41 miles away in Bradford, the police have just charged 25 men with... child sex offences. I wonder if they all speak Urdu???? Well, it is Bradford.

That, people, is where political correctness has led to in the UK.

Arrest Warrant For Argentine President Found At Murdered Prosecutor's Home

BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) - An Argentine prosecutor found dead in mysterious circumstances last month had drafted a request that President Cristina Fernandez be arrested for conspiring to derail his probe into the deadly bombing of a Jewish center, the investigator into his death said on Tuesday.

The papers were found in the trash at Alberto Nisman's apartment while his property was being scoured for clues over whether the father-of-two committed suicide or was murdered.

He was found in a pool of blood with a single bullet to the head on Jan. 18.

"The drafts are in the file," Viviana Fein, the lead investigator into Nisman's death, told a local radio station.

The request for Fernandez's arrest, which the prominent pro-opposition daily newspaper Clarin said Nisman drafted in June, was not included in his final 350-page submission to the judiciary delivered days before his death. Instead Nisman called for Fernandez to face questions in court.

On Monday, Fein's office had denied the existence of the document containing the arrest request and the government denounced a Clarin story about it as "garbage".

Cabinet Chief Jorge Capitanich even dramatically tore up a copy of the paper in his daily news briefing. But on Tuesday, Fein backtracked, saying there had been a misunderstanding between her and her office, and the documents did exist.

"They are properly incorporated into the case file, nothing is missing," Fein said of the papers on Tuesday.

Nisman spent almost a decade building up a case that Iran was behind the 1994 attack on the Argentine Israelite Mutual Association (AMIA) that killed 85 people. Iran's government has repeatedly denied the allegation.

Nisman had been due the day after his death to answer questions in Congress about his allegations that Fernandez sought to cover up Iran's involvement in return for Iranian oil. Fernandez has called the claim "absurd".

Argentine judges are proving reluctant to take on a case some are calling a "judicial hot potato". Two judges turned down hearing the case on Monday, including one who is already presiding over separate charges of attempts to derail the investigation into the 1994 bombing.

The other cover-up charges involve ex-President Carlos Menem, who ruled the South American country from 1989 to 1999.

Fernandez, who had come under fierce criticism for her handling of Nisman's death, is currently on a trip to China.

Canadian authorities make ISIS terror cell arrest

Awso Peshdary
TORONTO (AP) — Canadian police on Tuesday arrested one man who they say was part of an Islamic State recruiting cell and charged two more men who are overseas — one of whom may be dead.

Police said they arrested Awso Peshdary, 25, and charged him with participation in the activity of a terrorist group and with facilitating a terrorist group. Police also filed terrorism charges in absentia against Khadar Khalib, 23, and John Maguire, a 24-year-old convert to Islam. Both men had travelled to Syria.

Maguire, who has appeared in a IS video calling for attacks against Canadians, might have been killed recently according to reports.

Royal Canadian Mounted Police Chief Superintendent Jennifer Strachan said Peshdary had wanted to travel with Maguire, stayed in contact with him and together tried to send other Canadians to Syria to join the terror group. Strachan said Khalib travelled to Syria in March, 2014. Police said the men posted photographs and wrote comments on social media that demonstrated they either supported or were active members of IS.

Strachan said despite reports, the RCMP has no evidence that Maguire is deceased. She said a tweet saying he's dead is not confirmation.

She said Peshdary was also the subject of a prior unrelated police terror investigation but said police only now had enough evidence to arrest him. The Associated Press first released details of the arrest and charges against the three men.

The arrest and charges are linked to three arrests last month in Ottawa. Last month, police announced Suliman Mohamed, 21, was charged with participating in a terrorist group. That arrest occurred just days after twin brothers linked to Mohamed, Ashton Carleton Larmond and Carlos Larmond, were charged with terrorism-related offences.

Carlos Larmond was arrested at Montreal's airport on charges of intending to travel overseas for terrorist purposes. A senior government official familiar with the matter said that the brothers were trying to get to Syria. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly.

"It's a cell in Ottawa. Their focus seems to be on overseas activities, not on carrying out terrorist acts at home," the government official said.

Maguire appeared in a polished propaganda video in December urging Muslims to launch indiscriminate attacks against Canadians, similar to those carried out in October in Ottawa and St-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Quebec.

In October, Canada was hit by two terror attacks by so-called "lone wolves" believed to have been inspired by the Islamic State group. In Ottawa, a gunman shot and killed a soldier at Canada's National War Memorial and then stormed Parliament before being gunned down.

The attack in Ottawa came two days after a man ran over two soldiers in a parking lot in Quebec, killing one and injuring the other before being shot to death by police. The man had been under surveillance by Canadian authorities, who feared he had jihadist ambitions and seized his passport when he tried to travel to Turkey.

Canada is taking part in the U.S.-led campaign against Islamic State extremists in Iraq and Syria.

ISIS calls for more terrorist attacks against France, urges Muslims to join 'caliphate'

(JPost) Just a month after a jihadist-inspired killing spree killed over a dozen people in Paris, the Islamic State called for more attacks against France on Wednesday.

In a new video circulated on social media, the extremist organization that has managed to carve out a de facto jihadist state across large swaths of Syria and Iraq is urging French Muslims to defect from the Fifth Republic and take up arms in the new “caliphate.”

Existence of the video was reported by AFP.

Biden, top Democrats may skip Netanyahu speech before Congress

"No one in the Senate has been a better friend to Israel than Joe Biden. I would have never joined this ticket were I not absolutely sure Barack Obama shared my passion."
~Joe Biden, 2008 Vice Presidential debate
(JPost) A number of senior Democrats, chief among them Vice President Joe Biden, may skip Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech to a joint session of Congress next month, the online newsmagazine Politico reported on Wednesday.

The absence of Democratic lawmakers from the chamber during Netanyahu’s address would be an expression of protest by the party against what they perceive as a slight by the Israeli premier against President Barack Obama.

Netanyahu intends to use the speech to muster Congressional support for more sanctions against Iran, something which the Obama administration vehemently opposes since it would likely sabotage ongoing negotiations with Tehran over its nuclear program.

Chad forces say kill over 200 Boko Haram jihadists in Nigeria

N'DJAMENA (Reuters) - Chad's army killed more than 200 militants from Boko Haram on Tuesday in fighting in northeastern Nigeria, with nine of its own forces killed, the army and state television said on Wednesday.

Chad has deployed 2,500 troops as part of a regional effort to take on the militant group, which has been fighting for five years to create an Islamist emirate in northern Nigeria. An estimated 10,000 people died in the region last year.

Chad's army destroyed more than a dozen vehicles equipped with heavy weapons and some 100 motorcycles used by the militants in battles in the towns of Gambaru and Ngala, the army high command said in a statement on Wednesday.

There was no independent confirmation of its claim.

Militants also attacked the town of Fotokol in Cameroon on Wednesday in the latest cross-border incursion by the group, which operates near Nigeria's frontiers with Niger, Chad and Cameroon.

The fighters attacked at around 5 a.m. (0400 GMT) after Chadian troops who were temporarily based there crossed over to Gambaru on Tuesday, according to a Cameroonian military officer close to the operation and a Cameroon military source.

"The insurgents have been driven out. They tried to surprise us because the Chadian troops who were in Fotokol had crossed over to Nigeria," Cameroonian Information Minister Issa Tchiroma told Reuters by telephone.

The attack provoked intense fighting and six Cameroonian soldiers were killed, said the Cameroonian officer, who declined to be identified. He said that forces in the town had called for reinforcements and the fighting had now subsided.

Syria monitor: Islamic State kills 50 captives in Syria this year

Meanwhile, Obama, that ultimate authority on all things Islam, wants you to know that Islamic State is not really Islamic or something.
BEIRUT (Reuters) - Islamic State has killed 50 people this year in Syria who it accused of insulting God, spying or being enemy fighters, including a Jordanian pilot it burned alive, a monitoring group said on Wednesday.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the ultra hardline group killed them mainly through beheadings and shootings.

An Islamic State video showing the burning to death of pilot Muath al-Kasaesbeh, released on Tuesday, sent shockwaves through Jordan which is part of the US-led alliance against the group. Islamic State also published footage last month purporting to show the killing of two Japanese captives.

Other groups in Syria have killed captives. Al-Qaida's Syria wing Nusra Front killed six while around 20 others were put to death by other insurgents or pro-government groups, said the Britain-based Observatory, which tracks the conflict using sources on the ground. Four of those killed were women.

Islamic State controls swathes of territory in Syria and Iraq. The Observatory reported in November that the group had killed 1,432 captives since declaring a caliphate in June.

Iraq’s Christians take up arms to fight Islamic State


MANILA TRAINING CENTER, Iraq (WSJ) — Hundreds of Christian men are picking up rifles for the first time at a former U.S. military facility in the hills of northeast Iraq and training to reclaim their towns from Islamic State militants who stormed the country last year.

Fresh recruits to a new Iraqi Christian militia said their families were abandoned to militants by government forces last summer and they seek to create a force that will keep their towns and villages safe even after Islamic State is defeated. “I want to defend our own lands, with our own force,” said Nasser Abdullah, 26 years old, who is helping lead younger recruits in training.

Sunni neighbors in nearby villages, the recruits said, supported the Sunni extremists of Islamic State as militants seized one Christian village after another in the Nineveh plains, where Iraqi Christians and other minorities live.

As Islamic State fighters advanced, Kurdish forces assigned to the region fled under attack, leaving exposed vulnerable communities.

“Those who betrayed us won’t be allowed to live among us,” said Firas Metr, a 27-year-old electrician and recruit with no military experience. “We need to protect ourselves, now and in the future.”

Some 30,000 Christians have since fled the Nineveh plains. Just one Christian town there, Al Qosh, and three smaller villages remain free. Across Iraq, more than 150,000 Christians have been displaced since Islamic State began its rampage, according to Iraqi Christian community leaders.

More than 2,000 men have signed up to fight, but it wasn’t clear whether they could afford to train them all. Organizers hope the U.S. will help.

The U.S. National Defense Authorization Act, approved in December, names local security forces in Iraq as potential beneficiaries of as much as $1.6 billion to train and equip fighters against Islamic State. Those funds should support “local forces that are committed to protecting highly vulnerable ethnic and religious minority communities in the Nineveh Plain and elsewhere,” said a statement accompanying the act.

Jordan executes two Iraqi jihadists in response to pilot's death

AMMAN (Reuters) - Jordan has executed by hanging a jailed Iraqi woman militant whose release had been demanded by the Islamic State group that burnt a captured Jordanian pilot to death, a security source said on Wednesday.

Responding to the killing of the pilot, whose death was announced on Tuesday, the Jordanian authorities also executed another senior al Qaeda prisoner sentenced to death for plots to wage attacks against the pro-Western kingdom in the last decade.

Sajida al-Rishawi, the Iraqi woman militant, was sentenced to death for her role in a 2005 suicide bomb attack that killed 60 people. Ziyad Karboli, an Iraqi al Qaeda operative, who was convicted in 2008 for killing a Jordanian, was also executed at dawn, the source said.

Jordan, which has been mounting air raids in Syria as part of the U.S.-led alliance against Islamic State insurgents, said it would deliver a "strong, earth-shaking and decisive" response to the killing of pilot Mouath al-Kasaesbeh.

The fate of Kasaesbeh, a member of a large tribe that forms the backbone of support for the country's Hashemite monarchy, has gripped Jordan for weeks and some Jordanians have criticized King Abdullah for embroiling them in the U.S.-led war that they say will provoke a militant backlash.

The king cut short a visit to the United States to return home following word of Kasaesbeh's death. In a televised statement, he said the pilot's killing was an act of "cowardly terror" by a deviant group that had no relation to Islam.

In the face of Islamic terrorism, Nigeria rearms

(Lagos) Nigeria, like many countries around with a sizeable Islamic population, faces an extant threat to its existence from the followers of Allah. For years, Nigerian government detractors have stated that Nigerian troops just didn't have the tools or the training to take on their Islamic agitators. Well, it appears that for the last year, the Nigerian government has been doing just that. Maybe that explains why Nigeria has slowly been gaining the upper hand against the followers of Mohammed the paedophilic warlord. So what has Nigeria been purchasing? Well, they have purchased 77 T-72s.


Sent hundreds of troops to Russia for special forces training and armed them with the latest Israeli Tavor weapon.


Bought a large number of BTR-4s.


Chinese UAVs.


Helicopter gunships.


And now Chad has joined in the fight. Expect a sob story soon from the bBC about how hard life is being an Islamic terrorist in Nigeria.

Egyptian troops open fire on Hamas positions in Gaza

(Cairo) After a bomb exploded inside a military vehicle on the Egypt/Gaza border, Egyptian troops opened up on Hamas military terrorist positions inside Gaza.

The Ministry of Interior of the Hamas-run government denounced the attack which a spokesman described as "firing directly and deliberately at two Palestinian military posts on the southern Gaza Strip borders."

Meanwhile, the head of Hamas terrorist arm Abu Ubayda al-Jarrah denied the reports. He explained that Egyptian troops accidentally opened fire "near our forces" but said it was part of ongoing military operations in Rafah, and not specifically targeting Gaza.

Muslims caught on film abusing animals at British abattoir

(Britain) Muslims (like Jews) have to kill their meat religiously. What this entails is, unlike the rest of us in the West who are forced to stun their animals before killing them, so as to limit their discomfort, Muslims (and Jews) are allowed to slit the throats of their food and allow them to bleed to death. Well, over the past few years, this primitive method of slaughter has cropped up for discussion a number of times. Yes, the vastly growing Islamic population have silenced the rest by using the much smaller Jewish one (290,000 to over 3 million) as a means to silence their critics.

One of the reasons why Muslims say they must cut the throats of the victims - sorry, animals - is because to them the animals must be killed while the murderer utters a holy prayer. Muslims also try to claim that slitting an animal's throat is more humane. (Well, not for the animal.) All that went out of the window today when hidden video coverage showed 4 Muslims working at a slaughterhouse in North Yorkshire, mistreating their so called holy food. The video showed:



  • Sheep were kicked in the face, smashed into solid objects head-first and picked up and hurled by their legs, fleeces, throats and ears




  • A worker stood on the neck of a conscious sheep, then bounced up and down




  • Slaughterhouse workers erupted into laughter at a sheep bleeding to death with spectacles drawn around her eyes in green paint




  • A worker held a sheep by her throat and pulled back a fist as if to punch her




  • Slaughtermen taunted sheep by waving knives, smacking them on the head and shouting at them




  • Slaughtermen hacked away at the throats of still-conscious sheep.

  • Gee, It appears that Muslims are ordered by their holy book to cause pain and suffering.

    So much for a religion of peace, eh?

    Islamic knifeman attacks 3 French soldiers guarding Jewish community centre

    (France) In the city of Nice, an Islamic knifeman took umbrage at French soldiers guarding a Jewish community centre and so, uttering "Allah ackba", he tried to emulate the characters in Alexandre Dumas' famous novel "The Three Musketeers" by carving his way through the soldiers with a knife.

    But get this, it transpires the assailant tried to relocate to Syria in which to serve with ISIS, yet when the French found out, they asked the Turks to send him back home. It appears that 30-year-old Moussa Coulibaly wasn't impressed and, like all true Muslims, decided to take his frustrations out on the nearest Jew. However, as they were being guarded by French troops, he decided to attack them.

    German judge rules: Anti-Zionism is code for anti-Semitism

    (Times of Israel) Protester who chanted against Zionists during summer demonstration convicted of incitement against a minority; will appeal

    At the height of this summer’s Israel-Hamas conflict, Europe erupted with anti-Israel sentiment. From London to Paris, large-scale violent demonstrations were seen in most European capitals and throughout Germany.

    Speaking at a special meeting at the Knesset in the end of July, describing demonstrations at home in which they heard regular shouts of “Death to the Jews,” “Jews are pigs,” prominent German Jews said the atmosphere in the country felt like shades of 1933.

    “Why aren’t the German police taking the details of these people shouting in an aggressive way ‘Death to the Jews’?” asked Nathan Norman Gelbart, the head of Germany’s Keren Hayesod (United Jewish Appeal).

    The wheels of justice move slowly, but they are inching forward in Germany. In a unprecedented case heard half a year after these violent anti-Israel demonstrations, last week in Essen, German Judge Gauri Sastry convicted 24-year-old Taylan Can for incitement against an ethnic minority for events at a July 18, 2014, anti-Israel demonstration in the town.

    Eyewitness accounts report hostile anti-Israel chants and stones thrown from the anti-Israel camp to the smaller group of Israel supporters. According to the Anti-Defamation League, a breakaway group headed toward a local synagogue, intending to attack it.

    A YouTube video of the demonstration shows fields of Palestinian flags and Turkish flags, and a motley group of young men running and chanting “Adolf Hitler” and “Death to the Jews.” In the video, popular Essen Muslim rapper Sinan-G speaks to the camera explaining this is a counter-demonstration against the Jews. “The Jews insulted us, man, this is crazy stuff,” he said.

    Despite the large police presence, the crowd was clearly out of control. According to Die Welt, police arrested 49 protesters. Forty-five cases were dismissed in December.

    Born in Germany to a Turkish family, Can is well-known for his anti-Israel activism. According to Die Welt, at a Copenhagen protest Can shouted virulent anti-Israel slogans into a borrowed police megaphone. Elsewhere, at a demonstration he organized in his German hometown, anti-Israel protesters shouted, “Hamas, Hamas, Jews to the gas chamber.”

    At his Essen hearing this winter Can was prosecuted for his use of the term “Zionist” as incitement against a minority.

    During the hearing, Can claimed he was not an anti-Semite and had nothing against the Jewish people but only against the Zionist state. In response, Judge Sastry is quoted by Die Welt saying, “‘Zionist’ is the language of anti-Semites, the code for ‘Jew.'”

    Sastry’s judgment, which does not form a binding precedent in German law, essentially semantically equates anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism.

    Can was sentenced to three months’ probation and a fine of 200 euros. He has until Friday to appeal.

    On his Facebook page this week, Can reiterated he that he is not against Jews and stated his intention of appealing to both the district and federal courts.

    Reached Monday by The Times of Israel, Gelbart, who was recently part of a delegation of European leaders to Jerusalem for the funerals of those murdered in the Paris HyperCacher terrorist attack, is not optimistic the verdict will be upheld on appeal.

    “It’s a very brave verdict… The court has said clearly what our political scientists have known for decades,” said Gelbart.

    “It will cause a lot of attention, especially among those who claim they’re not against Jews, but only against Zionists,” he said. Gelbart, who is a lawyer, explained there are many politicians from across the political spectrum, including parties in the German parliament, who use the word “Zionist” to express hatred against Jews while avoiding prosecution.

    He doubts the case will stand on appeal since the defendant can be acquitted if there is even a shadow of doubt that he did not intend to incite against the Jewish minority.

    “We have an anti-Zionist industry across Europe who are living off this legitimacy to spread hatred through using the word ‘Zionist,'” said Gelbart.

    Jordan to Execute Terrorists After Reports Surfaced Its Pilot Was Burned Alive


    (INN) Just hours after a video surfaced showing the ISIS terrorist group executing a captive Jordanian pilot by burning him alive, Jordan is preparing to execute five terrorist prisoners in revenge, according to a report.

    Speaking to Sky News Arabic under condition of anonymity, a Jordanian security official claimed Sajida al-Rishawi - a failed female suicide-bomber whose release ISIS had demanded in a previous video in exchange for Japanese hostage Kenji Goto - would have her execution sentence expedited along with four other Islamist terrorists, in response to the horrific execution of pilot Maaz al-Kassasbeh.

    The five convicted terrorists would be executed "within hours" the source claimed.

    Meanwhile, US President Barack Obama issued a response to the gruesome execution video Tuesday, saying that if it was authenticated it just shows the organization's "barbarity", and would strengthen the resolve of the international coalition mobilized against it.

    "Should in fact this video be authentic, it's just one more indication of the viciousness (and) barbarity of this organization," Obama said, adding it would "redouble the vigilance and determination on the part of the global coalition to make sure" ISIS is "ultimately defeated."

    Meanwhile, Jordanian state TV reported that al-Kassasbeh was in fact executed as early as January 3rd.

    ISIS had previously offered to free Japanese hostage Kenji Goto in return for Sajida al-Rishawi, but the deal stalled after the jihadists inexplicably balked at Jordan's demand for proof that al-Kassasbeh was alive.

    If reports he was in fact executed as far back as a month ago are true, it would mean he was already dead when the offer of a prisoner swap was made.

    Egyptian policeman kills hospitalised Muslim Brotherhood Islamist

    Cairo (AFP) - An Egyptian policeman was arrested Sunday for having shot dead an Islamist detained in a Cairo hospital with injuries from his arrest, the interior ministry said.

    The ministry, on its Facebook page, said the victim was a member of the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood arrested as he tried to plant a bomb in the capital's Al-Warraq district, without giving a date.

    The suspect had insulted and provoked his police guard in hospital, threatening to kill him. The enraged policeman had shot him dead, it said.

    The ministry said the policeman was arrested and an investigation opened.

    Egyptian authorities have regularly accused the Brotherhood of launching deadly attacks since the army ousted president Mohamed Morsi in 2013, a charge denied by the Islamist movement.

    Tensions soared after deadly clashes between protesters and security forces in Cairo and the northern city of Alexandria on January 25 as Egypt marked the fourth anniversary of the 2011 uprising that toppled ex-strongman Hosni Mubarak.

    Police arrested 516 Brotherhood supporters that day.

    On Thursday, jihadists targeted security forces with rockets and a car bomb in North Sinai province, in simultaneous attacks that cost at least 30 lives.

    Blast targeting bus near Shi'ite shrine in Damascus kills at least 6 Lebanese pilgrims, wounds 19

    DAMASCUS (Reuters) - A bomb tore apart a bus carrying Lebanese Shi'ite Muslim pilgrims in Damascus on Sunday, killing at least six people and wounding 19 in a rare attack at the centre of the Syrian capital, a Reuters witness and local media said.

    A social media account linked to al Qaeda's Nusra Front said the hardline Sunni group was behind what it described as a suicide attack on the bus near a market place.

    The vehicle had Lebanese number plates and Syrian security services had cordoned off the area close to Hamidiyeh market, the Reuters witness said. Rescue workers sifted through the rubble and cleared away pools of blood from the ground.

    Syria's state news agency SANA said the "terrorist bombing" involved five kilograms of explosives placed in the front of the bus and that authorities had defused a second device inside a bag which was found on the floor of the vehicle.

    Earlier on Sunday Prime Minister Wael al-Halqi told parliament that Syria aimed to "flush out all terrorists" in 2015.

    The bus had been carrying pilgrims close to the Sayyida Ruqayya shrine, according to television channel al-Manar, which is run by Lebanese Shi'ite movement Hezbollah.

    Montreal blocks 'radical' imam's community center


    Montreal (AFP) - Montreal's mayor said Saturday that he would block permits for a controversial imam's planned community center in the eastern Canadian city, calling the Muslim religious leader "an agent of radicalization."

    Mayor Denis Coderre cited safety considerations as he explained the decision to deny permits for Hamza Chaoui's proposed center.

    "To me, this individual is an agent of radicalization," Coderre said at a press conference, noting that it was necessary to "act accordingly."

    "We are dealing with a case of public security and public order," said the mayor, who organized a large gathering January 7 after the deadly attacks at the Charlie Hebdo satirical newspaper in Paris.

    Though he had not yet applied for permits, Chaoui announced on Facebook on January 14 that the Muslim community would benefit from a new religious center where young people could study.

    According to CBC News, Chaoui uses social media to share a fundamentalist interpretation of Islam and is sympathetic to sharia law.

    Quebec Public Security Minister Lise Theriault said Muslim residents at the site of the proposed center told her he is not welcome there.

    The imam was "really radical, really extreme," Theriault told La Presse newspaper.

    The Canadian government on Friday presented a draft "antiterrorism law," three months after two soldiers were killed in separate attacks in Canada.
