Dokumentar: Danmark er racistisk

Dokumentarfilmen ”Racist Denmark” beskriver Danmark som et udlændingefjendsk land, hvor politiet jagter muslimer alene på grund af deres hudfarve.

Beirut -- »Muslimerne er ikke accepteret i dette land«. Dette er en af åbningsreplikkerne i dokumentarfilmen ”Racist Denmark,” der blev vist på den arabiske tv-kanal Al Jazeera torsdag aften.

Dokumentarfilmen, der blev vist i den bedste sendetid på Mellemøstens største arabisksprogede tv-kanal, handler primært om udlændingenes forhold i Danmark. Med særligt fokus på muslimer.

Filmen er produceret af dansk-palæstinenseren Awad Joumaa, og seerne bliver taget med til flere steder i Danmark – særligt i hovedstadsområdet.

Documentary: Denmark is a racist country. The documentary film "Racist Denmark"  describes Denmark as a country hostile to foreigners, where the police chases Muslims simply because of the color of their skin.

Beirut - 'Muslims are not accepted in this country." This is a core message in the 'documentary' film '"Racist Denmark' that the Arabic TV channel, al-Jazeera, aired tonight in prime time.

The documentary that was shown during prime time in the Middle East's largest Arabic-language television channel, focuses in on the conditions of foreign Muslims in Denmark.

The film is produced by the Danish-Palestinian director,  Awad Joumaa, and takes the viewers for a tour around Denmark, especially around the metropolitan area.

Must live in the same room for seven years

Among other things, the 'documentary' takes the viewers to visit the Muslim asylum seeker center, the  Sandholm camp, where an Iraqi Muslim asylum seeker, Nabil Dawish, tells how he fled from Iraq to Denmark for fear of being killed.

Today he sits in Sandholm center that is described in the 'documentary' as a place where Muslims are held in same room seven to eight years.

The audience will also visit the Muslim Nørrebro, where Muslims with shrouded or veiled faces tell of how badly they are treated by the police. The young men tell of clashes with the police, whom they accuse of stopping them solely because of their skin color.

Claims racist abuse

A young man who is a member of the migrant  Muslim  criminal gang, Black Cobra, said that he was once detained by a police officer and was locked in a small room where he was viciously beaten in the stomach by the racist Danish police.

"The only reason was the color of my skin,"  the Muslim gangbanger cried.

Majority of the criticism in the 'documentary'  focuses in on the Danish government and police, the the Danish media is also blamed for continuously writing bad things about criminal Muslims [raping and pillaging]

Denmark is described as a country where Muslims are not welcome and do not have the same rights as native Danes.

Cartoons not shown

Denmark's immigration policy is also displayed, and for an example the 'documentary' has chosen  the deportation of the rejected Iraqi Muslim asylum seekers that hid in the church for months.

'People can see that Muslims live in this country, but they never feel welcome," the sad voice of narrator concludes.

The 'documentary' briefly mentions the Jyllands-Posten's prophet Muhammad cartoons, and shows photos of Kurt Westergaard, who drew the controversial sketch in which Muhammad had a turban bomb.

No Muhammad cartoons appear in the 'documentary.'

Call for freedom of expression ban in Britain

BBC

Call for anti-Islamic marches ban 

There are calls to ban two marches planned by a group of football fans called the Welsh Defence League.

They claim it is to protest against radical Islam and they are not racist but opponents accuse them of being a fascist organisation targeting Muslims.

Marches are planned in Swansea and Newport. Police say they are putting plans in place to avoid a repeat of violent clashes seen in Birmingham.

Football clubs across Wales have also condemned the group. They were unhappy club logos were used to promote the cause.

Ninety people were arrested when protesters from the English and Welsh Defence League clashed with anti-fascist campaigners in Birmingham in September.

It is understood football fans from south Wales played their part in the demonstrations.

Now the Welsh Defence League is planning to take to the streets of Swansea and Newport in the coming weeks, an investigation by BBC Wales' Dragon's Eye programme has discovered. They say they are against Muslim extremists and the introduction of Sharia law in Britain.

One member called Mike said: "We're not racist, because we're standing up against Islam. I mean the police are terrified to upset Muslims, right, and the fact is that militant Islamists in this country, they're on a jihad, a holy war against us, they want to kill us."

The Welsh Defence League says Muslim and other ethnic minority groups can join but opponents say this is a smoke screen for their real views.

Jeff Hurford, from Unite Against Fascism, said: "If you actually look at their website the reality is they use the word jihadist for almost any Muslim - for almost anybody who actually speaks out about almost anything whatsoever is a jihadist."

But a member of the English Defence League (EDL) called Michael, who is black, insisted the group is not racist.

"EDL support all English people who are proud of our country... That want to stop islamic extremism," he said.

"We're not racist. I'm a black man and I'm proud to be English that's why I joined the EDL."

Barack Obama Muslim adviser says Sharia Law is misunderstood

Telegraph -- Andrew Gilligan and Alex Spillius

President Barack Obama's adviser on Muslim affairs, Dalia Mogahed, has provoked controversy by appearing on a British television show hosted by a member of an extremist group to talk about Sharia Law.

Miss Mogahed, appointed to the President's Council on Faith-Based and Neighbourhood Partnerships, said the Western view of Sharia was "oversimplified" and the majority of women around the world associate it with "gender justice".

The White House adviser made the remarks on a London-based TV discussion programme hosted by Ibtihal Bsis, a member of the extremist Hizb ut Tahrir party.

The group believes in the non-violent destruction of Western democracy and the creation of an Islamic state under Sharia Law across the world.

Miss Mogahed appeared alongside Hizb ut Tahrir's national women's officer, Nazreen Nawaz.

During the 45-minute discussion, on the Islam Channel programme Muslimah Dilemma earlier this week, the two members of the group made repeated attacks on secular "man-made law" and the West's "lethal cocktail of liberty and capitalism".

They called for Sharia Law to be "the source of legislation" and said that women should not be "permitted to hold a position of leadership in government".

Miss Mogahed made no challenge to these demands and said that "promiscuity" and the "breakdown of traditional values" were what Muslims admired least about the West.

She said: "I think the reason so many women support Sharia is because they have a very different understanding of sharia than the common perception in Western media.

"The majority of women around the world associate gender justice, or justice for women, with sharia compliance.

"The portrayal of Sharia has been oversimplified in many cases."

Al-Qaida declares war on China

JerusalemPost

Al-Qaida wages war on China: 'Jihad is the only way'

Al Qaida spokesmen announced on Thursday that the organization's militants would soon begin to work towards "freeing their Muslim country," referring to none other than China.

They stated that would specifically target the Asian republic's Muslim-dominated "East Turkestan" region, in what is today Xinjiang.

"our Muslim brethren in Turkestan must know that the only way to be rid of the oppression and exploitation [of Muslims in China] … is Jihad," was the message Al Qaida wished to convey to adherents of Islam in the region.

The fundamentalist organization said in a series of videos that it planned to re-educate a new generation of Chinese Muslims "whose forefathers were not allowed to read the Kuran."

Muslim American Society of Minnesota paid $13,350 that Muslim congressman could circumambulate kaaba

StarTribune -- Kevin Diaz

Rep. Ellison reveals amount of his privately-paid trip to Mecca

Following a months-long review by a U.S. House ethics panel, Rep. Keith Ellison, D-Minn., has disclosed the amount of his privately-paid trip to Mecca last December.

The trip, paid for by the Muslim American Society of Minnesota, cost $13,350, Ellison said Thursday.

The two-week trip to Saudi Arabia, which Ellison described as a personal religious pilgrimage, or Hajj, prompted little controversy until last June, when Ellison filed financial travel reports that failed to disclose the amount the Muslim group had paid for his travel.

In releasing the amount on Thursday, Ellison held to his previous assertion that he was following the instructions of the House Committee on Standards of Official Conduct, commonly known as the ethics committee.

"I never had a moral objection to giving the number out," said Ellison, the first Muslim elected to Congress. "But the rules said I didn't have to, so I didn't. Now I am."

What changed is the committee's view of the trip.

In a September 21 letter to Ellison, ethics officials had said that a "statutorily-mandated review" of Ellison's financial disclosure statements indicated that he originally had "disclosed the trip properly." But "upon further review," the committee said, Ellison must now report the cost of the trip.

France arrests two men suspected of al Qaeda link

French police arrested two Algerians suspected of being linked to al Qaeda on Thursday, a judicial source said.

The two brothers, who are suspected of being close to the Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) network, were arrested by counter-terrorism units in the southeastern town of Vienne, the source said.

AQIM, al Qaeda's north African wing, has claimed responsibility for a suicide bombing at the French embassy in Mauritania that wounded three people in August.

How many Muslims have you got?

The Guardian of Muslims

The world in muslim populations, every country listed

An American thinktank estimates there are about 1.57bn Muslims worldwide – roughly 23% of the total 6.8bn population.

The study, by the Pew Research Center's Forum on Religion & Public Life, is based on census data from more than 200 countries.

Almost 62% of the world's Muslim population live in the Asia/Pacific region, compared with only 20% in the Middle East and North Africa (the historical cradle of Islam).

More than 300m Muslims – one-fifth of the total – live in countries where Islam is not the majority religion. China, for example, has more Muslims than Syria and Germany has more than Lebanon.

Within Islam, the report suggests 87%-90% are Sunnis and 10%-13% Shias. This is a smaller proportion of Shias than in some previous estimates and the report cautions that many countries do not collect sectarian data in their censuses.

Christian prisoners in NZ forced to eat Muslim halal meat

New Zealand Herald

Few Muslim inmates but jails buy only halal meat

All 8500 prisoners in the New Zealand prison system eat halal-certified meat, despite only 82 prisoners identifying themselves as Muslim.

For a meat processor to be halal-certified, meat must be slaughtered by Muslims and cannot be contaminated by alcohol or pig products.

Corrections rehabilitation general manager Phil McCarthy confirmed, in response to an Official Information Act request, that the department had bought meat from a halal-accredited supplier since 2005.

Mr McCarthy said the department had a national supply agreement with Napier-based Bay Cuisine.

After a 2004 national menu review, it was decided tenderers for the meat contract needed to have halal certification.

It did not cost the department more to buy food from a halal-credited supplier, despite extra costs linked to certification.

New Zealand Islamic Meat Management and the Federation of Islamic Associations provide halal certification in New Zealand.

A federation spokesman said it cost up to $2000 for a processing firm to be halal-certified. The premises were then checked by a supervisor about every fortnight. The certification was also renewed every year.

Mr McCarthy said when providing food the department made allowances "as far as practicable in the circumstances" for the religious and spiritual needs of prisoners. Prisoners could choose a vegetarian or vegan menu or a non-pork diet, he said.

"The Department of Corrections acknowledges that food is an important part of the religious observances of many prisoners and endeavours to meet their needs by the provision of alternative options to the standard menu."

The department needed large volumes of food and could therefore reduce costs through economy of scale.

In the 2007-08 year, 8,333,515 meals were provided from prison kitchens, at an average cost of $4.12 a prisoner a day for three meals.

THE GUIDELINES
* The animal must be slaughtered by Muslims in accordance with the Islamic Shariah (religious guidelines).
* The meat must not be contaminated by non-Halal meat during transportation, storage or display.
* Alcohol and intoxicants must not be used in the preparation or storage of products.
* Pig or pig products must not be used in the making/preparation of individual products.

Britain: Muslim 'honor killing' over lost virginity

The Times  - David brown

Mother breaks silence over husband's 'honour killing of daughter'

The mother of a schoolgirl who vanished 10 years ago has broken her silence to give evidence against her husband at his trial for the alleged murder of their daughter in an honour killing.

Tulay Goren vanished aged 15 from her London home after losing her virginity with a man who was twice her age, the Old Bailey was told today.

Her body was buried in the garden of the family’s suburban home in Woodford Green, north-east London, before being dug up a week later, it is alleged. It has not been found.

Tulay’s father, Mehmet, and his brothers, Ali and Cuma, deny murdering the teenager because she had become a “worthless commodity” who had shamed the family’s honour. They also deny conspiracy to murder her lover, Hilal Unal.

The schoolgirl’s family initially claimed she had run away from home.

However, her mother, Hanim, who had previously misled police about her daughter’s disappearance, has now agreed to assist police, the court was told.

Jonathan Laidlaw, QC, prosecuting, said Tulay had been “kidnapped” by her father and murdered because she had broken the “honour code” which operated in the family’s homeland in the Kurdish region of Turkey.

“Of principal concern to men of the defendant’s generation who follow the honour code would be the girl’s virginity because it is essential that the girl when passed on to be married is a virgin,” said Mr Laidlaw.

“Were a girl not a virgin she would be returned to her family who would have to compensate the groom’s family.” Mr Laidlaw said that despite their age difference it was was clear that Tulay loved Mr Unal.

“Tulay’s father was outraged and was filled with a sense that his reputation and that of his family had been destroyed,” he said. “Halil was viewed in every sense as an unsuitable boyfriend and potential husband.”

The court heard the Mehmet Goren, 49, had demanded his daughter had a virginity test because he suspected she had sex with Mr Unal.

He opposed the pair marrying because the family were Alevi Muslims while Mr Unal followed the Sunni division of Islam, it was alleged.   >>>

Zurich okays pro-Swiss poster

DailyMail

Zurich gives go-ahead to poster with 'racist image of Islam' ahead of Swiss vote on allowing minarets at mosques

Switzerland's cities are divided after Zurich approved use of a poster showing missile-like minarets atop a Swiss flag ahead of a national vote on whether to ban the construction of towers at mosques.

Zurich followed Lucerne and Geneva in arguing that the posters were protected by free speech.

But Basel and Lausanne earlier banned the billboards saying they painted a 'racist, disrespectful and dangerous image' of Islam.

Zurich city council said it disapproved of the posters - which also feature a veiled woman with what could be seen as menacing eyes - because they portrayed Islam as 'threatening, negative and dangerous'.

But officials said the posters had to be accepted as part of political free speech in the run-up to the November 29 vote.

The Swiss Federal Commission Against Racism said yesterday it viewed the billboards as an attack on all Muslims in Switzerland.

'This is a further step toward a dangerous polarization of the political debate,' the commission said.

The posters are part of a campaign by the nationalist Swiss People's Party, which argues that the construction of new minarets should be banned because they are a symbol of Islamic political conquest rather than religious freedom.

So far, there are four minarets in Switzerland.

A poll published today in Zurich daily Tages-Anzeiger showed 51.3 per cent of those questioned said they would reject the proposed ban.

Some 34.9 per cent of voters supported the proposal, while 13.7 per cent were undecided.

The random survey by Swiss-based pollsters Isopublic was conducted among 1,007 eligible voters in the German- and French-speaking parts of Switzerland. The margin of error was given as 3.2 per cent.

Henri-Maxime Khedoud, a Geneva resident and spokesman for the Swiss Association of Secular Muslims, said the posters were an attempt to play on voters' fear of Islam.

'They give the impression that we are trying to impose sharia law like in Saudi Arabia, but this is not true,' he said. 'Most Muslims in Switzerland come from Europe.'

White South African granted asylum in Ireland

Telegraph -- Chris Irvine

White South African wins visa over crime fear 

Dianne Jefferson, a white South African woman, has been granted permission to stay in Ireland after claiming she was at risk of crime in her home country because of racial discrimination.

The 22-year-old told the authorities she was at heightened threat of attack because she was a young white female.

Miss Jefferson moved to Ireland aged 14 to live with her father when her grandmother died in South Africa.

She has since studied at college and married an Irish man, Kevin Curran, three years ago. But as a non-national, she had to apply for a visa to reside and was turned down.

Miss Jefferson launched a legal bid in Dublin's High Court for permission to stay in the country, stating in her affidavit: "I say and believe that as a white South African there is a real possibility of criminal racial discrimination against me and I fear for my wellbeing and ultimately my life if I am returned".

The judge granted her an injunction stopping immigration authorities from deporting her, and she has now been given a five-year residency visa.

Owen Swaine, Miss Jefferson's lawyer, said his client, who lives in Doughiska, County Galway, had no immediate family left in South Africa.

"Her apprehension in returning is two fold," he said. "One is she's been in Ireland as a child, has no family connections and would be a stranger in South Africa. She is of limited financial means and if deported would effectively be abandoned there, and a female abandoned in any area of the world is more likely to fall victim to crime.

"In addition to that, being a South African, she takes a keen interest and has read about the wide level of violent crime, which heightens her fear of returning as a young woman."

There are on average 50 murders and nearly 200 sexual offences every day in South Africa, according to crime figures released last month. In total, there were 18,148 murders between April 2008 and March 2009.

Massive drug hauls from Pakistan at Amsterdam Airport

RadioNetherlands

Customs officers at Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport said on Thursday they have discovered fifteen kilograms of heroin in carpets from Pakistan. The drug had been hidden in the seams of the carpets.

In another find, a package whose waybill declared it to contain ceramics was actually filled with 1300 kilograms of cannabis from Thailand. No-one was arrested after the finds.

Cassave rolls

The airport set up a special task force to find drugs, called the CargoHarc team. It consists of Military Police detectives, border police and Tax Office inspectors. They are closely monitoring the freight passing through Schiphol Airport. The team is also responsible for thoroughly checking every individual passenger flying in from Surinam and the Netherlands Antilles, which used to be major sources of drugs smuggled into the Netherlands.

One of these so-called 100-percent controls revealed how a Surinamese man and a Dutch woman were using bread to smuggle cocaine into the country. A suspicious number of rolls were found in their luggage. The 33 rolls, of a kind often filled with mashed cassave root, turned out to be generously filled with ground cocaine. The couple were arrested when it turned out they were transporting 3 kilos of the drug in their food.

Coconuts

Airport personnel are increasingly finding drugs hidden in inventive places, such as clothes, beverages, food and audio equipment.

The airport's drugs finding team reported earlier this week they had discovered cocaine in a load of coconuts from the Dominican Republic. Rubber balloons had been inserted into the coconuts, which had subsequently been injected with liquid cocaine.

Personal use

The trafficking of heroin, cocaine or cannabis is illegal in the Netherlands. Possession of minimal quantities of the drugs for personal use is generally tolerated.

The Norwegian law-studying Muslim criminal gangs

Dagbladet - HANS-MARTIN  RUUD, SINDRE  MELDALEN and HARALD  KLUNGTVEIT

De sa: Nå skjer det. Du er ferdig

Young Guns mener de ble truet på livet av B-gjengen utenfor Oslo tinghus.

I Oslo tingrett står i dag fire personer politiet knytter til den kriminelle grupperingen Young Guns tiltalt for slåsskampen og konfrontasjonen mellom dem og den rivaliserende gjengen, den såkalte B-gjengen, utenfor og i området rundt Oslo tinghus og Borgarting lagmannsrett den 13. mai i år.

They said: Now it's on. You're done.

The Norwegian Muslim gang, the Young Guns, told they were threatened by the Muslim B-gang outside the court house last May.

Four Muslim gang members were in court today accused of shooting and fighting during a confrontation in front of the Oslo court between the Muslim Young Guns and Muslim B-gang last May.

The four Muslim immigrants to Norway that were prosecuted as part of a comprehensive criminal case against the Muslim Young Guns gangs explained their side of story.

It all started when a member of the Muslim B-gang testified in a attempted murder case against a Muslim Young Guns gang member, Mr. Alex Fuica, last May. A mob of Muslim gang members attended the hearing, and, as the Muslim custom requires, during the break began shooting at each others in front of the court house.

Total of eight Norwegian Muslims were arrested: four from the Muslim Young Guns and four from the Muslim B-gang. No discrimination in Norway.

Dumped pistol in the law office

One of them, a 23-year-old Muslim man, that should have been deported, apparently had the urge to demonstrate that he was man enough to shoot another Muslims should the need arise.

After the shooting incident, the four brave Muslim gang members run to the shelter of the law firm Feydt and Hamborgstrøm accros the court house.

There they were arrested and police eventually found the gun in a flower pot.

The aforementioned 23-year-old Muslim was the first Muslim to break in the interrogations. He is linked to the Muslim Young Guns gang by the Oslo police, and his trial is part of the Oslo police's comprehensive criminal case against the Muslim gang community of Oslo, Norway.

The Norwegian Muslim admitted being in and outside the court house. He also admitted dumping the pistol in a flower pot at the lawyers office.

The Norwegian Muslim gang member alleges self-defense, and that it was the bad Muslim B-gang members who started the firefight.

You're done

"The other side began causing troube in the court. You call them the B-gang, I call them people who don't like me. After the lunch they continued the harassment outdoors. They called my mother with bad names, and that I was ready to die," the 23-year old Muslim gang member told the court.

The Norwegian Muslim claimed that he had complained about the harassment to the police, but was ignored. He explained that he and hid friends run away to avoid trouble.

"We ran towards our car, but we're surrounded,. The bad Muslim gang members repeated the threat that we are finished. One of the bad Muslims took a gun from his pocket. Only then I grabbed the gun I had in my car. I happened to find the gun while walking in the park feeding pigeons. I picked it up. It's possible that I racked the slide, but there was no magazine in it the pistol - I swear!

"I was in panic mode. They told me: 'Now it's on. You're done,' the Norwegian Muslim explained how he and his friends managed to escape to the lawyers office.

The defendant explained that he found the weapon in earlier. He explained that he found the gun in a sandbox in a kindergarten near where he lives.

"I did not tell the whole truth to the police in the beginning.  But then I thought: it is I who was threatened, I can tell the truth. I'm done with this," he said.

Interested in law

23-year-old Muslim told the court that he was vaguely aware of the Muslim B-gang  members through the media. He was in court that day to follow up on a Muslim friend's case - Alex Fuica - who stood accused of having shot the suspected B-gang leader, Ghulam Abbas.

"I had attended the hearing for a couple of days. I love to follow the legal process. I'm interested in becoming an attoyney."

He could not give any good explanation for why the Muslim B-gang members did not like him.

"I do not know why, but I know they did not like Mohammed "Jeddi" Javed, who was killed, and I think it may have something to do with it. I met the guy a few times, and they want to decide who I should be hanging with," he said.

The court case continued with defendants from the Norwegian Muslim Young Guns gang. After them the Norwegian Muslim B-gang members took the stand. One of the Muslim gang members , Mr. Yasser Rasool, is currently incarcerated in connection with Norway's biggest money laundering case.

New gang report

The Muslim Young Guns and the B-gang have been bitter rivals in  the Oslo's Muslim underworld, especially after the shooting of Aker Brygge in the summer of 2006, where one of the then leaders of the Young Guns and Young Guns member, Alex Fuica, was shot by two B-gang members.

The Muslim A-gang that was run by three Muslim brothers, worked  earlier with the Muslim Young Guns. The former A-gang is now part of the  Muslim B-gang which has reduced the influence of the Muslim Young Guns in Oslo's Muslim underworld.

The Oslo police's report earlier this years states that 25 to 30 Norwegian Muslim constitute the inner core of Oslo's Muslim  B-gang. These criminal Muslims are linked by family ties, mostly brothers

In additional, the Muslim gangs have an unknown number of soldiers and associates.

Deport 25 to 30 Muslims and most of your problems disappear!

Racist Denmark 'documentary' will re-light the Muhammad cartoon embers

Kristeligt Dagblad  -- Allan Sørensen

Dokumentar puster til Muhammed-krisens gløder

Den førende arabiske tv-kanal, al-Jazeera, bringer i aften en dokumentarfilm om racisme i Danmark. Filmen omtales allerede på forhånd som brutal. Den arabiske verdens mest populære tv-station, al-Jazeera, vil i aften vise sine seere, hvor galt det – ifølge stationen – står til i Danmark. En dokumentarfilm om dansk racisme skal ifølge netavisen Akhbar ("Nyheder") bekræfte, hvad Muhammed-krisen i 2006 gav mange arabere en fornemmelse af, nemlig at Danmark er et racistisk land, der ønsker sine muslimske borgere sendt hen, hvor peberet gror.

Loosely translated from The Danish by pissed off Chris:

Documentary re-lights cartoon crisis embers

The leading Arab television channel, al-Jazeera, will air tonight a "documentary' on racism against Muslims in Denmark.  The film has been characterized as "brutal."

The Arab world's most popular television station, al-Jazeera, will tonight show his viewers how bad it is - according to the station -  in Denmark for Muslims. A documentary on racism against Danish Muslims, Muslim asylum seekers and illegal Muslims in Denmark, rejected Muslim asylum seekers and violent Muslim gangs, reinforces  the views and hurt feelings the world's 1,570,000,000 Muslims concocted after the 2006 Prophet Muhammad cartoon crisis, according to the Danish-Muslim online hate magazine, Akhbar; that Denmark indeed is a racist country that wants nothing less than deport all her Muslim citizens, deportable Muslim asylum seekers, criminal Muslim gangs and other innocent Muslims "as far as the pepper grows."

The Danish-Muslim online hate magazine concurs that the "Racist Denmark"  'documentary' will conclude that Denmark is a racist country.

The film shows scenes of Muslim gang street fighting and posters that says "Denmark for Danes" and "close the borders." The 50-minute documentary focuses on the Danish political turn to right and shows interviews with immigrant Muslim gangs and rejected Muslim asylum seekers, who accuse Danish authorities of being racist.

The film's director, the Danish-Palestinian Awad Jouma'a, strongly believes that Denmark is a racist country. He also believes that many Arabs have an overly positive view of Denmark. He would like to change that. The 'documentary''s goal is not to defame Denmark, but to make Denmark a favor, says the Danish-Muslim director of Racist Denmark.

"I'm a Danish-Muslim of Palestinian origin, and I have created this film to assist Denmark recognize the reality that hostility towards Muslim immigrants and a smear campaign against Muslim criminals and terrorists exist.

"The Danish politicians must acknowledge this problem and resolve the issue to the satisfaction of Muslims. I see the 'documentary' more as a form of self-criticism and an attempt to save Denmark," the Danish-Palestinian Muslim director of the Racist Denmark told the Danish-Muslim online hate magazine, Akhbar.

The 'Muslim 'documentary' on Racist Denmark also blames the racist Danish media for  creating a distorted and biased image of Muslims, Muslim immigrants, criminal asylum seekers, rejected asylum seekers, Muslim terrorists in Denmark, Muslim rapists, welfare leeching Muslims, violent Muslim gangs, and intolerant Muslim imams. The Palestinian-Danish Muslim director does not believe  the al-Jazeera 'documentary' is as biased as the Danish media is towards Muslims.

"Al-Jazeera has aired many positive stories about Denmark, on the successful Danish-Arabs. So I do not think that we only show the bad side of Denmark. I'm trying just to  express my impression of and my experiences in Denmark," he says, and invites Danish journalists and politicians to see the film before they judge him.

Film worries Middle East expert

The Danish Middle East expert, Jakob Skovgaard-Petersen, has been allowed to see a part of the movie prior to the premiere tomorrow.

"It looks very brutal, and I fear that it will paint a one-sided picture of Denmark in the Middle East," he told Akhbar.

Jakob Skovgaard-Petersen is particularly concerned that the movie appears on the  most popular TV station in the Middle East.  The "documentary" could could be used as a tool to strengthen a negative image of Denmark by Denmark and Western world - hating Muslims

The mole on CIA's ass

HumanEvents -- Rep Dan Burton

Holder's Witch Hunt 

Attorney General Eric Holder’s decision to prosecute CIA personnel is an outrageous act of political theater that has the potential to significantly damage our nation’s long-term intelligence gathering capabilities. Despite the Administration’s subtle attempts to distance itself from the Justice Department’s investigation, anyone in touch with reality knows that the Attorney General could not pursue this destructive end without the President’s unmitigated support.  President Obama has turned a deaf ear to the pleas of seven former CIA directors while using Mr. Holder to oblige the left’s political base.

 Mr. Holder has a clear history of putting the President’s agenda ahead of the law and the interests of the American people.  As Deputy and then Acting Attorney General during the Clinton Administration, Mr. Holder was intimately involved in the controversial pardons issued by President Clinton hours before he left office, particularly the highly controversial pardons of fugitive tax evader Marc Rich and a number of FALN terrorists.  In the Rich pardon case, Mr. Holder simply shielded career Justice Department lawyers from any knowledge of the situation so as to preempt any objection from his colleagues.  Before paving the way for President Clinton to commute the FALN terrorists’ sentences, Mr. Holder ignored two warnings that such an action would undermine four pending Federal investigations.

 Mr. Holder’s actions in the Rich and FALN matters do not appear to have been the product of naïveté or misjudgment.  Rather, they appear to have been the actions of a man who bent to the prevailing political winds and put aside good judgment in favor of performing personal favors for a President.  In continuing this pattern, Mr. Holder’s resumed his manipulation of nonpartisan Justice Department lawyers shortly after taking office this year.  In March, he rejected his Office of Legal Counsel’s opinion that said the longstanding DC voting rights bill before Congress was unconstitutional.  Knowing his Department was at odds with President Obama, Holder made headlines by finding lawyers at the Solicitor General’s office who would defend the legislation as constitutional if it came before the Supreme Court.  In May, Holder ignored the pleas of six more nonpartisan attorneys at the Justice Department when he inexplicably dropped a civil lawsuit against a group of Black Panthers who used paramilitary uniforms, a nightstick, and racial threats to intimidate voters in the November 2008 elections.

In August, Mr. Holder unveiled his CIA Witch Hunt.    >>>

Swedish Muslim woman owes Sweden from previous terror arrest, must pay second repatriation out from own pocket

SR

Foreign Ministry: Swede Held in Pakistan Must Pay For Own Trip Home

The 19-year-old Swedish woman held in Pakistan with her child since August will have to pay her own way home, the Swedish Foreign Ministry has said. The woman was captured together with former Guantanamo detainee Mehdi Ghezali and her husband after allegedly entering the country illegally.

Pakistan’s interior minister revealed on Wednesday that the woman and her child would be released shortly. But sources at Sweden’s Foreign Ministry told newspaper Svenska Dagbladet that the woman would not receive financial help from the state because of an unpaid debt to the Ministry stemming from a previous consular incident.

As a 17-year-old, the woman sat in prisons in Somalia and later Ethiopia after being accused of collaboration with terrorists. After the Foreign Ministry worked to secure her release, the woman flew to Sweden together with Swedish Security Service personnel.

The Ministry was never repaid for the flight, however. As a result, the woman cannot take another loan from the Foreign Ministry to pay for a new flight home from Pakistan.

The newspaper Svenska Dagbladet speculates that the incident may partly explain why representatives from neither the Foreign Ministry nor the Swedish Security Service have travelled to Pakistan to lobby for her release.

Instead, the Swede's jailing has been handled as a standard consular matter.

"Racist Denmark" documentary puts Denmark on Muslim terrorism alert

  Al-Jazeera documentary puts ministry on alert

Foreign ministry raises concerns over a new documentary showing Denmark in a negative light

A documentary depicting racism and criminality in Denmark has the Foreign Ministry anxious about possible repercussions.

‘Copenhagen in Confrontation’, produced by Palestinian-Danish man Awad Jouma, will screen on the popular Qatar-based station Al-Jazeera tonight.

‘Arabic viewers have far too positive a picture of Denmark. I want to tell them that there is widespread racism in Denmark and that a lot of the legislation is discriminatory,’ Jouma told Arabic-language news website akhbar.dk.

He said he wasn’t intending to stir up trouble by showing the documentary.

‘I’m Danish and made this film to help Denmark recognise its problems with hostility towards immigrants and persecution of Muslims,’ he said.

Foreign Ministry spokesman Klaus A. Holm told DR news the ministry was paying particular attention to the documentary and would be following reactions intensively from Copenhagen and individual embassies.

He said Danes abroad would be contacted individually by the embassies if necessary and advised to take precautions.

The documentary includes images of police arresting biker gang members and young people of a non-Danish ethnic background, who are throwing stones.

Contributors to the documentary include Hells Angels spokesman Jørn Jønke Nielsen, MPs, rejected asylum seekers, human rights organisations and young people from the largely immigrant community in the Nørrebro district of Copenhagen.

Car bomb kills at least 12 in Afghan capital

A powerful car bomb exploded outside the Indian Embassy in the busy center of Afghanistan's capital early Thursday, killing at least 12 people, destroying vehicles and blowing off the walls of shops, officials said.

Eleven of the dead were civilians and one was an Afghan police officer, the Interior Ministry said in a statement.

At least 84 people, including members of Afghan security forces, were wounded in the attack, which struck a shop-lined road between the Indian Embassy and the Interior Ministry, said Health Ministry spokesman Ahmad Farid Raaid.

The blast hit shortly after 8:30 a.m., just as residents were arriving for work. It shattered glass and rattled buildings more than a mile (kilometer) away. A huge brown plume of smoke was visible in the air as ambulances raced to the scene and carried away the wounded.

One 21-year-old man named Najibullah said he had just opened his shop when the explosion went off, knocking him unconscious.

When he awoke, he said, he couldn't see anything.

"Dust was everywhere. People were shouting," said Najibullah, who like many Afghans uses only one name. "You couldn't see their faces because there was so much dust."

His white clothes were covered in blood after helping load four injured onto ambulances.

Muslim terrorism flourishing all over Pakistan

Fears rise over militants in Punjab 

BAHAWALPUR: Three burly gunmen stand menacingly at the gate of a mosque complex in the town of Bahawalpur as hundreds of men file in listen to a prayer for victory of Muslim fighters around the world.

This is Osman-o-Ali, the headquarters of Jaish-i-Mohammad, an al-Qaeda-linked militant group which has a long record of violence including an assassination attempt on former president Pervez Musharraf.

While Pakistan's attention is focused on the Taliban and al-Qaeda threat on the Afghan border in the remote northwest, there are fears that the militants are quietly expanding their influence and winning recruits in the country's heartland.

‘South Punjab is a fertile ground for extremists and militants,’ said security analyst Hasan Askari Rizvi.

The flourishing Jaish complex in Bahawalpur, in the south of Punjab province, illustrates the ambivalence that Pakistani authorities have long shown towards hardline Islamists.

Islamist factions were nurtured by the security agencies during the 1980s and 1990s when they sent their fighters into Afghanistan to take on Soviet occupiers and later into Indian-administered Kashmir region to battle security forces.

But Jaish was officially outlawed by Musharraf in early 2002 after it and another group, Lashkar-i-Taiba, were blamed for an attack on the Indian parliament which brought Pakistan and India to the brink of their fourth war.

Despite the ban, and repeated vows by governments to root out militancy, Jaish is thriving. It and an allied group are believed to have thousands of young cadres fighting western forces in Afghanistan and the Pakistani army in the northwest.

Plots hatched here on the dusty plains and shabby towns of southern Punjab can reach around the world.

Rashid Rauf, a British-born al-Qaeda operative and suspect in a 2006 plot to blow up transatlantic airliners, was a member of Jaish and was known to have lived in Bahawalpur with his wife.

Global Muslim population hits 1.57 billion

JerusalemPost

The global Muslim population stands at 1.57 billion, meaning that nearly 1 in 4 people in the world practice Islam, according to a report Wednesday billed as the most comprehensive of its kind.

The Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life report provides a precise number for a population whose size has long has been subject to guesswork, with estimates ranging anywhere from 1 billion to 1.8 billion.

The project, three years in the making, also presents a portrait of the Muslim world that might surprise some. For instance, Germany has more Muslims than Lebanon, China has more Muslims than Syria, Russia has more Muslims than Jordan and Libya combined, and Ethiopia has nearly as many Muslims as Afghanistan.

"This whole idea that Muslims are Arabs and Arabs are Muslims is really just obliterated by this report," said Amaney Jamal, an assistant professor of politics at Princeton University who reviewed an advance copy.

How nearly one in four people in the world practice Islam... and 1,647,000 of them live in Britain

The global Muslim population stands at 1.57 billion, meaning that nearly 1 in 4 people in the world practice Islam, a landmark study has claimed.

Britain has a total of 1,647,000 Muslims - 2.7 per cent of the British population, and 0.1 per cent of the global Muslim population, the report claimed. 

The Pew Forum report also revealed that Germany has more Muslims than Lebanon - or than North and South America combined.

It claimed that about five per cent of Europe's population practices Islam - and that there are more Muslims living in Asia than in the Middle East.

Until now, experts have largely been guessing at the precise number of Muslims in the world, with estimates from one billion to 1.8 billion.

But the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life report, released today, finally pinpoints the number of those practising the world's second largest religion behind Christianity.

The three-year-long project also provided some surprising statistics. For instance, Germany has more Muslims than Lebanon, China has more Muslims than Syria, Russia has more Muslims than Jordan and Libya combined, and Ethiopia has nearly as many Muslims as Afghanistan.

'This whole idea that Muslims are Arabs and Arabs are Muslims is really just obliterated by this report,' said Amaney Jamal, an assistant professor of politics at Princeton University who reviewed an advance copy.

The report provides further evidence that while the heart of Islam might beat in the Middle East, its greatest numbers lie in Asia: More than 60 per cent of the world's Muslims live in Asia.

About 20 per cent live in the Middle East and North Africa, 15 per cent live in Sub-Saharan Africa, 2.4 per cent are in Europe and 0.3 per cent are in the Americas. 

While the Middle East and North Africa have fewer Muslims overall than Asia, the region easily claims the most Muslim-majority countries.

While those population trends are well established, the large numbers of Muslims who live as minorities in countries aren't as scrutinized.

The report identified about 317 million Muslims - or one-fifth of the world's Muslim population - living in countries where Islam is not the majority religion.

UAE: Islam the cause of terrorism

The National UAE -- James Reinl

Injustice at root of terror, says the UAE’s ambassador to the UN

Terrorism will not be defeated until leaders tackle injustice, poverty and other factors that help fuel violent political dissent [that are caused by medieval religion called Islam], the UAE’s ambassador to the UN said yesterday.

Ahmed al Jarman, who addressed the world body’s sixth committee on legal affairs, said the Emirates had clamped down on everything from banking transactions to border security in its attempt to thwart organised terror networks. But leaders also needed to seek change on some of the root causes.

“Efforts have mainly focused on combating and pursing those who commit and organise terrorist actions and their sources of funding without achieving any mentionable progress in searching for the many root causes of these actions and that lead to terrorist activities,” he said.

Police in the UAE had fought drug traffickers, mercenary outfits, illegal arms dealers, smugglers and money launderers while working with overseas agencies to smash crime syndicates, he said.

A 2004 anti-terrorist law offers “stern punishments for those found guilty” and the Government has blocked funding to al Qa’eda and the Taliban while co-operating with international legislators and the UN Security Council.

He urged the UN’s other 191 members to address the “oppression, marginalisation and poverty … that lead to hatred and a desire for revenge”.

Investigators try to figure out why terror suspect contacted associates during cross-country drive

An Afghan immigrant accused of plotting a terror attack in New York City contacted accomplices there while making a cross-country drive from Denver, raising concerns among investigators that he was sending instructions to purchase more bomb-making chemicals, officials familiar with the case said.

Terrorism investigators are trying to determine whether suspect Najibullah Zazi sent instructions to associates to purchase more chemicals to build bombs as he drove from Denver to New York last month, according to law enforcement officials. Such instructions could explain a critical missing piece of the high-profile terrorism case -- why authorities could not find actual explosives.

Two officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the case, told the Associated Press that as Zazi drove, he was in communication with associates, and one of the officials said investigators believe the communications included instructions for the associates to purchase more chemicals for homemade bombs.

The officials did not describe the nature of the communication, but court documents indicate investigators have been examining Zazi's cell phone and e-mail traffic.

Court documents indicate the 24-year-old Zazi and others were hitting beauty supply stores, buying concentrated bottles of hydrogen peroxide hair dye. He and others also bought acetone -- nail polish remover -- and other ingredients that can be used to make a powerful and highly unstable explosive called triacetone triperoxide, or TATP. The same explosive was used by would-be shoe bomber Richard Reid in 2001 and the terrorists who carried out the London bombings in 2005 that killed 52 people.

Zazi's journey just before the anniversary of the Sept. 11 terror attacks set off alarm bells at the highest levels of government, from the CIA to the Justice Department to the White House. Attorney General Eric Holder has called it one of the most serious terrorism cases since the 2001 attacks.

Zazi has denied being involved in a terrorist plot, and has pleaded not guilty to a charge of conspiring to detonate explosives in the United States.

A handful of people believed to be Zazi's accomplices are under surveillance and are not believed to still pose a threat because the plot was disrupted, officials have said. More arrests are expected.

For weeks, investigators have been hunting evidence of what they say was a bomb-building stay by Zazi at a hotel near his Aurora, Colo., home just before he drove to New York.

One possibility being considered by counterterrorism agents is that whatever device or devices were built in the hotel room, they were detonated at some isolated location in Colorado as a test run of the bomb recipe. In recent weeks, agents in that area have been searching for a possible location of such a test explosion, the two officials said.

If such a test was done, it would explain why Zazi might still need a fresh batch of chemicals to create new explosives, according to officials.  >>>

Update: Seattle Muslims quit rioting, 7 asylum seeker kids returned to Ethiopian mom

SeattleTimes -- Christine Clarridge

7 Muslim children returned to mom

Seven Muslim children who were removed from their home by Child Protective Services last week, while police investigated molestation allegations against their mother's common-law husband, will be returned to their home, a King County Juvenile Court judge ruled on Wednesday.

Seven Muslim children who were removed from their home by Child Protective Services (CPS) last week, while police investigated molestation allegations against their mother's common-law husband, will be returned to their home, a King County Juvenile Court judge ruled on Wednesday.

Before his ruling, Judge Ronald Kessler issued an order of protection restricting the man from entering the family home or contacting the children. He asked for assurances from the children's mother, Ethiopian refugee Asha Gobana, that she would respect the restraining order even if it went against her husband's wishes.

"If I order you not to allow [him] into your house, will you follow that? What if he calls you and says 'I am the boss,' who are you going to listen to: me or him?"

Gobana said that she would obey the judge. "I accept," she said during Wednesday's hearing.

The seven children, 2 through 14, were removed from their home last Thursday by CPS.

Seattle police spokesman Mark Jamieson said detectives from the department's Sexual Assault Unit called on CPS while investigating an allegation that the woman's husband, who is father to four of the seven children, had assaulted a juvenile girl who had visited the family home last month.

According to police, the alleged victim is not one of the man's daughters or stepdaughters.

The father was arrested on Wednesday morning and booked into King County Jail on investigation of child molestation. He faces a bail hearing at 2:30 p.m. today.

The children's removal sparked outrage among members of the East African Muslim community, who staged an all-day protest on Friday at one of the state's Department of Social and Health Services offices in South Seattle. Many also attended Wednesday's Juvenile Court hearing.

The protesters expressed concern that the children would be placed in non-Muslim foster homes where their religious culture and dietary restrictions would not be observed.

Texas Muslim terrorists proved difficult to track

SBnewsPress -- Melody McDonald

The FBI had Hosam ''Sam'' Smadi under surveillance in the months before the Jordanian national was accused of trying to blow up a Dallas skyscraper, according to newly released court documents.

But tracking him wasn't without its problems, according to a search warrant affidavit.

Agents twice placed a tracking device on Smadi's 1991 Honda Accord. Because of the car's age and condition, the device fell off each time, the affidavit states. On the third try, agents secured the tracker with a different attachment in hopes that it would hold.

Because the tracker was unreliable, agents went to a judge in September and got permission to track Smadi's cell phone, which was in the name of Kellye Kines. She was a friend who worked with Smadi at the Texas Best Smokehouse, a restaurant and travel stop off Interstate 35E in Italy.

Smadi, 19, told an undercover FBI employee that the phone was in Kines' name because AT&T required a Social Security number to perform a credit check and he did not have one, the affidavit states.

Kines, reached on her cell phone Wednesday, said that she gave Smadi a ride to the AT&T store in Waxahachie, Texas, where he learned about the requirement.

''I wasn't even going to get a phone, but he couldn't so I went ahead and got his phone and two lines and got me a phone,'' she said, adding that Smadi's phone bill averaged $130 a month. ''I didn't even ask why he didn't have a Social Security number.''

According to the affidavit, the FBI surveillance team's problems were worsened by the fact that Smadi lived in Italy, Texas, a small town about 30 miles south of Dallas.

''Smadi lives and works in a rural area with a small population,'' Special Agent Robert Benton wrote in the affidavit. ''This limits the ability of law enforcement to observe Smadi without drawing attention to themselves.''

On Sept. 22, two days before the alleged terrorism attempt, Smadi moved out of his dome-shaped apartment in Italy and into a trailer in a remote part of Hill County, near Milford, officials said.

Dutch Muslim broadcasters pull the plug

RadioNetherlands

Two Muslim broadcasting organisations in the Netherlands are to cease transmissions from September 2010.

The two companies, NMO and NIO, have not requested a renewal of their public broadcasting licence for the next five-year period, and announced they will be dissolved next year.

Conservatives and liberals

NIO programme director Mustafa Aarab told the press on Tuesday, "I will lock the door behind me on 31 August 2010."

According to his NMO colleague Abderrahman Farsi, the end of the two broadcasters comes after continuing conflicts within the umbrella organisation which was set up specifically to mediate between them. Conservatives in NMO wanted to limit the influence of liberal Muslims, and former NMO director Frank Williams was accused of financial mismanagement.

"Our names are tainted, it's better to start anew," Mr Farsi said.

The Dutch Media Authority has meanwhile received requests by five other Islamic organisations who want to take the place of NMO and NIO. The Authority said that in accordance with the Media Act, no more than one of them will be given airtime, which will be decided on by 1 January 2010.

Airtime

Dutch public broadcasting is organised on a representativeness principle, with some ten broadcasting associations being allotted airtime on public channels which is commensurate with their membership. Each broadcasting company has to represent a significant section of society. In addition, a small percentage of airtime is set aside for associations representing religious groups. It is the latter airtime that the Islamic broadcasters are vying for.

Britain: new Homeland Military Command to combat Muslim terrorism

The Times -- Dominic Kennedy

Tories promise Homeland Military Command to combat terror threat

A new Homeland Military Command would be created by a Tory government to fight the serious threat that a British city will be the target of an atrocity such as the Mumbai massacre.

Baroness Neville-Jones, the former intelligence chief and now Shadow security minister, will today pledge a permanent armed group on standby to fight attacks more severe than the London bombings of July 7, 2005.

The Rapid Reaction Spearhead Force of Army, Royal Air Force and Royal Navy personnel would also be ready to combat increasingly frequent natural disasters, such as floods and hurricanes, that have been blamed on climate change.The warning is especially powerful as it comes from a former chairman of the Joint Intelligence Committee and head of the Defence and Overseas Secretariat in the Cabinet Office.

“What happened in Mumbai last November could happen here in the UK,” Lady Neville-Jones is expected to tell the conference. “Not suicide bombers, but an attack by gunmen, killing people in the streets, besieging hotels, paralysing the city for days.”

Nearly 200 people were killed when terrorists struck India’s financial capital, targeting hotel guests and diners and firing on police.

The new command would be permanently ready to provide an instant, armed response to threats at home, taking responsibility for guarding borders, air space and territorial waters.

Britain: 500 More Soldiers Due for Afghanistan as 30 “High Risk” Islamist Terrorists Are Released

BNP

The British cabinet is expected to next week authorise the deployment of 500 or more British soldiers in Afghanistan — while 30 “high risk” Islamists are set for early release in Britain.

The decision to deploy more British soldiers in the Afghanistan conflict is expected after the next cabinet meeting. The army has asked for at least 2,000 more troops and speculation is rife that anywhere up to 1,000 soldiers may ultimately be deployed.

The Conservative Party, which blindly parrots the Labour Party warmongers on all aspects of the Afghanistan War, is widely expected to endorse the further deployment of British troops.

Meanwhile, the Islamist threat continues to grow at home, thanks to the insane immigration policies pursued by both the Labour and Tory parties.

The latest shocking development on the home front in the war against Britain has come with the news that up to 30 Islamist terrorists are due to be released from jail within the next six to eight months.

They are being freed as a result of a ruling by one of Britain’s most senior judges that long sentences for terrorist crimes could “inflame extremism.”

Amongst the Islamists due for early release are some of the most dangerous terrorists ever to have set foot in Britain since the days of the IRA.

Amongst them is Andrew Rowe (pictured) who was convicted of planning to use mortar bombs in an attack. He was sentenced to 15 years in jail just four years ago, in 2005. He is due to be released next April.

Other dangerous people who have had their sentences cut include those who assisted the failed suicide bombers of 21 July 2005 and two of those convicted of soliciting murder during the Danish cartoons protest.

The sentences were reduced after a key ruling in July 2008 by Lord Phillips, then the lord chief justice, and two other senior judges, who reduced Abdul Rahman’s sentence from six to 5½ years following his guilty plea for disseminating a terrorist publication.

Rahman, a key Al-Qaeda player, recruited disaffected Muslims from northern England to fight British troops in Afghanistan.

The judges stated: “Care has to be taken to ensure that the sentence was not disproportionate to the facts of the particular offences. If sentences were imposed which were more severe than the circumstances of the particular case warranted, that would be likely to inflame rather than deter extremism.” This was the green light for further sentence reductions in subsequent terrorist appeals.

Britain faces an open second front in the war against terrorism on its own shores. This is the most urgent military problem facing Britain — not some Afghan peasants on the other side of the world.

Only the British National Party has called for an immediate withdrawal from the foreign wars into which the criminal Labour/Tory lie machine has plunged this country.

American Muslim terrorist indicted

Grand Jury Indicts Illinois Man Previously Charged With Attempt to Bomb Courthouse and Murder Federal Employees

A federal grand jury today returned a two-count indictment charging Michael C. Finton, aka "Talib Islam," as previously charged in a criminal complaint, with attempted murder of a federal officer or employee and attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction (explosives) against property owned by the United States. Finton, 29, of Decatur, Ill., was arrested on September 23, in connection with an alleged plot to detonate a vehicle bomb at the federal courthouse in Springfield, Ill.

The indictment alleges that on Sept. 23, 2009, Finton parked a van that he believed contained approximately a ton of explosives in front of the Paul Findley Federal Building and Courthouse at 600 East Monroe Street, intending that the detonation of the bomb would destroy the building and kill its occupants. Finton allegedly left the van and used a cellular telephone at a nearby location to send a signal he believed would detonate the bomb in the van.

According to the affidavit filed on Sept. 24, 2009, in support of the criminal complaint, in his alleged efforts to carry out the plot, Finton ultimately dealt with undercover FBI agents and confidential sources who continuously monitored his activities up to the time of his arrest. FBI agents arrested Finton immediately after he allegedly attempted to detonate the device, which actually contained inactive materials.

If convicted, Finton faces a maximum penalty of life in prison for attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction against property owned by the U.S. The penalty for attempting to murder a federal officer or employee is up to 20 years in prison.

A reformed Islam could save Afghanistan

CSM -- Abolhassan Bani-Sadr

The despotic and misogynist narratives of Islam must be challenged by interpretations that embrace freedom and human rights.

In Afghanistan where young people have placed themselves on waiting lists to become suicide bombers, increasing the number of soldiers – whether US, NATO, or Afghan (in order to "Afghanize" the war) – will prolong the conflict rather than ending it.

The decades of violence and instability in Afghanistan suggest a deeper answer to a deeper problem. What the country needs is an interpretation of Islam that embraces freedom and human rights instead of violence and tribal oppression. Everything else is a Band-Aid.

The despotic and misogynist narratives of Islam that predominate now must be challenged by alternative interpretations of Islam. The argument that Afghanistan is "not ready" for democracy and only capable of authoritarian politics misses this point entirely, and condemns Afghanistan to a permanent state of war.

Afghanistan is a deeply religious society, but the dominant interpretations of Islam, as in most Islamic countries, is one that fosters submission to force. More specifically, under existing sharia law, which is completely detached from the message of the Koran, human beings are understood to be at the service of religion and not vice-versa. Because this belief is entrenched deeply in the popular psyche, the struggle for social and political dominance expresses itself through religious discourse.

Religion has become about power. The most abhorrent form of this violence, suicide bombing, is the direct result of the dominance of a religious interpretation that sanctifies violence. Unless this changes, religion in Afghanistan will continue to serve the fundamentalist powers and those who are nourished by the politics of fear.

What is required instead is a revival of the repressed traditions of Islamic thought and practice, such as the concept of "Tawhid."   >>>

2 Mosques Burn down in Bulgaria in 2 Days

Novite

The mosque in Bulgaria’s Danube town of Nikopol has burned down after it caught fire early on Wednesday.

It is still unclear how the fire started but the local authorities have ruled out arson. The fire fighters who arrived on the spot did not manage to save the old mosque building which was built at the beginning of the 20th century.

On Monday, October 5, the mosque in the southern city of Blagoevgrad also caught fire, and part of its roof was destroyed as a result. The most likely cause of the fire is a short circuit in the electric system of the building.

The Chief Mufti’s Office has stressed that the two temples are historic and cultural monuments. Its data shows that in the last few years there were 110 cases of vandalism against Muslim temples in Bulgaria, and called upon the Interior Ministry to guarantee the security of all Bulgarian citizens.

Polygamy Is a Responsibility in Islam, Says Muslim Council of Britain

Having multiple wives in Islamic cultures is a responsibility and not even a right, according to an article on the Muslim Association of Britain (MAB) website.

According to the MAB, which describes itself as a “founding member of the Mosques and Imams National Advisory Body (MINAB)”, it is “commonly believed that men have more rights than women because they can have 4 wives. However in Islamic culture having multiple wives is more responsibility than a right.”

The article written by someone named Azhanty Jheman, goes on to quote the Koran in support of the assertion that Muslims have a responsibility to have multiple wives.  The article does, of course, not go on to say exactly why it is a “responsibility” but the reason is obvious: so that Muslims can multiply faster than any other religious group and thereby expand their belief through demographic strangulation of other peoples.

This is exactly what is happening in Britain today: official figures show that the average Muslim woman has an average of seven children, while the average indigenous British woman has less than two.

It was announced last year that the British Government had already accepted that Muslim husbands with more than one wife in this country qualified for extra benefits even though they technically were breaking the anti-bigamy law.

The decision by the Government means that Muslims with multiple wives were cleared to claim state benefits for all their different partners.

A Muslim man with four spouses could receive £10,000 a year in income support alone. He could also be entitled to more generous housing and council tax benefit to reflect the fact his household needs a bigger property.

Ministers decided that polygamous marriages could be recognised formally by the state provided they took place overseas in countries where they were legal.

Guidelines on income support from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) state: “Where there is a valid polygamous marriage the claimant and one spouse will be paid the couple rate (£92.80).

“The amount payable for each additional spouse is presently £33.65.”

Income support for all of the wives may be paid directly into the husband’s bank account.

Four departments — the Treasury, the Department of Works and Pensions, HM Revenue and Customs, and the Home Office — were involved in the review, which concluded that recognising multiple marriages conducted overseas was “the best possible” option.

An indigenous British person trying this multiple marriage trick will be punished under the bigamy laws by up to seven years in prison — never mind the additional charges which would follow from benefit fraud.

Once again, however, there is one law for British people and another for the Muslim community.

Muslim couples are only married in the eyes of the British state if they undergo a register office wedding as well as a Nikah, or religious ceremony.

Muslim groups say it is quite common for men here to undergo more than one Nikah with different wives. This does not count as bigamy since only the first marriage is legally recognised.

It is clear, therefore, that this legal loophole — encouraged and supported by the Government — is being used to colonise Britain for Islam via the womb.

Canadian Muslims want government to ban burqa

CTV

Muslim group urges gov't to ban burkas, niqabs in public

A prominent Canadian Muslim lobby group is calling on the federal government to ban women from wearing the burka in public.

The Muslim Canadian Congress describes the burka, a head-to-toe gown that covers the wearer's face, as a symbol of Islamic extremism as well as a security risk.

The congress, which is also calling for a ban on the traditional headscarf known as the niqab, says there's nothing in the Qur'an that requires women to cover their faces.

In fact, the congress says, women are actually forbidden to wear burkas at one of Islam's holiest sites, the grand mosque in Mecca.

The group calls covering female faces a "medieval, misogynist practice" that can lead to heightened security risks, citing bank robberies in Canada and overseas.

It also cites the recent decision by Sheikh Mohamed Tantawi, dean of al-Azhar university and Egypt's highest Muslim authority, to issue a fatwa, or religious edict, against the niqab and burka.

Al-Jazeera to air "Racist Denmark" documentary

BerlingskeTidende

Arabisk tv-station viser racistisk Danmark

En dokumentarfilm på den arabiske verdens mest populære tv-station, al-Jazeera, fokuserer på Danmarks politiske højresving og viser samtaler med indvandrerbander og afviste asylsøgere, der anklager myndighederne for at være racistiske.

An Arabic television station, the Arab world's most popular television station, al-Jazeera, will air a "Racist Denmark" documentary on Thursday in Primetime, focusing in on Denmark's turn to right and showing interviews with Muslim immigrant gang members and rejected Muslim asylum seekers, all of whom accuse  the Danish authorities of being racist.

According to al-Jazeera, the purpose of the "documentary" is to show how bad things are in Denmark, writes the Christeligt Dagblad.dk.

The online magazine, Akhbar ("news"),  writes that the "documentary" on Danish racism will reinforce the Muslim's views of Denmark that the Muhammad cartoon crisis brought up; i.e that Denmark is a racist country and wishes to deport her Muslim citizens "as far as the pepper grows."

The online magazine can confirm that the 50-minute "documentary's main conclusion is that Denmark is racist country. The "documentary will show scenes from gangwar street fights and posters that say "Denmark for Danes" and "close the borders."

Director will make Denmark a service

The film's director, the Danish-Palestinian Awad Jouma'a, strongly believes that Denmark is a racist country. He also believes that many Arabs have an overly positive view of Denmark. He would like to change that. The  "documentary" is not to defame Denmark - on the contrary, according to his own testimony, to make Denmark a service.

"I'm Danish and have made this film to help Denmark to recognize the issues of ihostility towards the Muslim criminal immigrants and smear campaign against Muslims. Danish politicians must recognize this problem and do something to solve it. I see the "documentary" more as a form of self-criticism and an attempt to save Denmark," he tells the Akhbar.

The film also blasts the Danish media and blames them for creating distorted and biased images of Muslims and criminal Muslim immigrants. He does not believe that al-Jazeera tries to give the Danes the same treatment.

"Al-Jazeera has aired many positive stories about Denmark, on the successful Danish-Arabs. So I do not think that we only show the bad side of Denmark. I'm trying just to  express my impression of and my experiences in Denmark," he says, and invites Danish journalists and politicians to see the film before they judge him.

Film worries Middle East expert

The Danish Middle East expert, Jakob Skovgaard-Petersen, has been allowed to see a part of the movie prior to the premiere tomorrow.

"It looks very brutal, and I fear that it will paint a one-sided picture of Denmark in the Middle East," he told Akhbar.

Jakob Skovgaard-Petersen is particularly concerned that the movie appears on the  most popular TV station in the Middle East.  The "documentary" could could be used as a tool to strengthen a negative image of Denmark by Denmark and Western world - hating Muslims

Over 700 Muslim terrorists infiltrated Lebanon

Ha'aretz

Lebanon suspects mass infiltration of Islamist terrorists 

Lebanon's security apparatus are looking into claims that hundreds of Islamist fundamentalists loyal to Al-Qaida have entered Lebanon during the summer as tourists and remain in the country to plan terrorist attacks, a security official said Wednesday.

The high-ranking official who spoke on condition of anonymity told the German Press Agency dpa, "our job is to look into these claims ... to see if these claims are true."

Lebanese media reported that around 700 Arab nationals - extremists from Sunni fundamentalist groups such as the international  terrorist network Al-Qaida - entered Lebanon in mid-August and never
left the country

According to the reports, the extremists were planning terror attacks inside Lebanon and in several neighboring Arab states.

The source said the Lebanese security forces had received some information from Arab intelligence departments about suspects fleeing to Lebanon and the authorities are looking into these cases.

Many observers fear that some of those extremists may try to turn Lebanon into a new launching pad for attacks against Westerners and Israel.

Infidels had to die so American Muslim could assassinate wife

Telegraph -- Nick Allen

Washington sniper ‘used shooting spree as a smokescreen to target wife'

John Allen Muhammad, the man who went on a shooting spree in Washington, killing 10 people, carried out the attack as a "smokescreen" so that he could murder his ex-wife and claim custody of their children, she said.

"He planned to kill strangers and then shoot me down and have police blame it all on the sniper," Mildred Muhammad said. " But he got caught. Thank God, he got caught."

Muhammad, 48, was sentenced to death after 10 people were shot dead during a 2002 rampage in which he terrorised the Washington DC area. He is due to be executed next month.

His teenage accomplice, Lee Boyd Malvo, is serving life in prison.

Mrs Muhammad said her former husband told her: "You have become my enemy and as my enemy, I will kill you. You know I could take a small city and terrorise it and they would think it was a group of people. But it would only be me."

The couple's 12-year marriage fell apart in 2000 and her husband secretly took their children to the Caribbean.

After 18 months, a court eventually granted her custody.

The eldest, John, 19, is now a student. Her daughters, Salena, 17, and Taalibah, 16, attend a performing arts school where they perform operas.

In a new book, Mrs Muhammad, who remarried two years ago, described how her husband had become erratic after returning from serving in the first Gulf War.

She said: "I knew he could kill. I also knew that he had promised to kill me because he believed I had taken his children away from him.

"John was going to kill me, and now I knew that he had conspired to kill other people just to create a smokescreen."

The Swiss People's Party, not Islam is the threat to Switzerland

20minch -- Adrian Müller

«Nicht der Islam, sondern die SVP ist eine Gefahr für die Schweiz»

Georg Kreis, Präsident der Eidgenössischen Kommission gegen Rassismus, sagt im Interview mit 20 Minuten Online, warum die Plakate Hass gegen Muslime schüren und weshalb anonyme Spender die grösste Schwäche der Schweizer Demokratie sind.  

"The Swiss People's Party, not Islam is a threat to Switzerland"

Georg Kreis, the president of the Federal Commission Against Racism (EKR) explained in an interview with 20 minuten, why the posters inciting hatred against Muslims and anonymous contributors weaken the Swiss democracy the most.

20 minuten: The EKR declared that the minaret posters endanger the Swiss public peace. What's so bad about the subject?

Georg Kreis: The poster vilified Muslims in the worst way and projects very aggressive imagery. The rocket-minarets are no coincidence, but a pure agitation targeted against an ethnic group. The burqa is mere populism - because in Switzerland there are virtually no burqa-wearing Muslim women. The poster calls for hatred against the Muslims and thus disturbs the peace of Switzerland. We need to protect Switzerland against such a defamatory and inflammatory categorization. At the moment it's the Swiss People's Party campaign, not Islam that threatens Switzerland.

20 minuten: The Swiss People's Party's proponents accuse the EKR for horning in on matters that are none of your business; i.e. censoring and banning posters. What is you response to these allegations?

Kreiss: We do not censor anything, we only offer our recommendation for the cities and municipalities, which in turn make the final decision whether or not ban anything. We do hope, though, that all cities follow the example of  Basel and Lausanne and ban the racist poster. This would create a positive momentum.

20 minuten: Many people think that the ban of the poster merely adds water to the propaganda mills of the Swiss People's Party. To what extend has this fact influenced your decision?

Kreiss: That has been the Swiss People's Party's routine for some years now, but we simply can't look away. We will not let our mouth be taped shut.

"I do wonder, though, who are the anonymous benefactors of the Swiss People's Party in the defamation of Muslims that feel six-figure sums are worth the cause.  Hiding behind their donations, like being in burqa.

"It is the biggest destroyer of the Swiss democracy that these anonymous donors are not identified."

The maid slaves in the land of Islam

Al-Jazeera -- Charles Stratford

Gulf labour laws fail to halt abuse

Every year thousands of women arrive in the Gulf to take up jobs as domestic workers.

The majority of them leave behind their families on a huge financial gamble to try to earn enough in remittances.

But behind closed doors, in the homes of their employers, some find themselves trapped in a cycle of horrific abuse.

Al Jazeera's Charles Stratford spoke to one housemaid, Mary, who suffered two years of abuse in the United Arab Emirates.

Two and a half years ago, Mary left her family in East Africa to work as a maid in a private house in the Middle East.

"The beatings started on the second day," she said. "No day passed without beatings. If she didn't beat me in the day she would beat me at night."

One day she was ordered to have sex with another maid. When she refused, her employer threatened her with more beatings.

"She said the law was in her favour. Not in mine," Mary said.

Inherent vulnerability

Simel Esim, a specialist in domestic worker abuse at the International Labour Organisation (ILO), said the workers are simply not protected by labour laws.

"Domestic workers ... are excluded from unionising and organising around the globe," she  said.

"[This] kind of economic infrastructure [in the Gulf] has created a huge inflow of labour migration that requires immediate and urgent attention.

"The sponsorship system ... The way it is set up, it is bound to fail.

"You are attaching a person's legal status, visa status and employment to one person as the employer and also the provider of housing, food and health care.

"It creates total dependency and total dependency means total vulnerability and opens the door wide for abuse and exploitation."

Mary left her country determined to earn money for her family. But two years later, she is horrified at the prospect of her family knowing about her suffering.

"How can I go back home with this body? My mother is sick," she said. "If she sees me like this she will die of shock. I am so ashamed to see my friends. Even now I feel shame."

US may be planning to bomb Iran

JerusalemPost

The US could be in the process of accelerating provisions for a possible attack on Iran, according to an ABC News report published Tuesday. 

The report cited a recent Pentagon decision to push for funding to build a "gargantuan bunker-busting bomb called the Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP)," originally planned for use in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The Pentagon's 2009 request, which was approved last week, was published by ABC, as well as the previous 2007 request.

To explain why the bomb was needed at this juncture, the Pentagon only said, "The Department has an Urgent Operational Need (UON) for the capability to strike hard and deeply buried targets in high threat environments. The MOP is the weapon of choice to meet the requirements of the UON." ABC noted that the departments which requested the MOP had responsibility over North Korea and Iran.

The report also stated that this weapon would be "ideally suited" for a strike on Iran's uranium enrichment plant at Natanz, or the recently revealed plant at Qom.

US aerospace manufacturer and defense contractor McDonnell Douglas received a $51.9 million contract to build the four MOPs, the report said.

'No Negro Cop Will Stop Muslims Praying at Al-Aqsa'

INN

Kamal Khatib, deputy head of the northern branch of the Islamic Movement, declared in an interview with Army Radio on Wednesday that "No Negro Ethiopian policeman is going to prevent Muslims from praying at Al Aqsa (mosque)."

Following Arab rioting on Sunday, police limited visits to the Temple Mount to Muslim men over 50. They have also forbidden Jews of all ages from visiting the Mount even though the Sukkot holiday is traditionally one of two annual periods when Jews were obligated to visit the Temple.

In the same interview, Khatib also denied any Jewish connection to the Temple area saying, "Our position is that the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Temple Mount are not holy to the Jews and it is forbidden for them to pray there

Muslim terrorist is suing CIA for €15,000,000.00 in Italy

Abducted Muslim cleric and wife seek €15mln damages  

The wife and the lawyer who is representing an Egyptian cleric allegedly kidnapped in the northern Italian city of Milan and later tortured in 2003 by the CIA are seeking millions of euros in compensation.

Osama Moustafa Hassan Nasr's wife Ghali Nabila has claimed 5 million euros while lawyers acting for Nasr, a terror suspect known as Abu Omar, have asked for 10 million euros.

"My client suffered distress that cannot be imagined by any human being," Nasr's lawyer Carmelo Scambia told a Milan court on Wednesday.

Scambia sharply criticised the Italian state for "obstructing the truth" in Nasr's case.

Several former Italian secret service officials have invoked state secrecy in refusing to testify at the trial in absentia of 26 CIA agents allegedly involved in Nasr's abduction and transportation to an Egyptian jail, where he claims he was tortured.

Nabila has asked for 5 million euros to compensate the suffering she endured after not knowing for years what had become of Nasr. He was allegedly flown to Egypt, held in jail and tortured there. He was released in February, 2007.

"His kidnapping was an act against state security, that stole some of Abu Omar, his wife and family's life," said Nabila's lawyer, Luca Bauccio.

The former US and Italian secret service agents implicated in the rendition trial "acted like a group of criminals," Bauccio said. "We will never know if Abu Omar is innocent or guilty."

Pakistan to release Swedish Muslim mother, child arrested for Al-Qaeda links

Xinhua -- Li Xianzhi

The Pakistani government has decided to release and extradite a Swedish mother and her child arrested in east Pakistan in August, the official APP news agency reported.

The two Swedes were arrested from D. G. Khan along with ten other Al-Qaeda-linked foreigners from the vicinity of inter-provincial Tirrimin check post on Indus Highway, bordering Pakistan's North West Frontier Province.

Pakistan's Interior Minister Rehman Malik told this to the ambassador of Sweden in Pakistan, Ulrika Sunberg, who called on him here in Islamabad and discussed the matter of mutual interest as well as the arrest of a Swedish man, his wife and a child.

The minister said necessary directives have been issued for the release of the Swedish mother and her child and soon they would be extradited to their country. The Swedish envoy expressed her gratitude to the federal minister for his cooperation.

The law enforcement agencies of Pakistan arrested 12 Al-Qaeda-linked foreigners from D.G. Khan in August, including seven Turks, three Swedes, one Iranian and one Russian when they illegally crossed the border.

Swiss People's Party outraged at pro-Swiss poster ban

WRS

A poster the right wing Swiss People’s Party had planned to use during its anti-minaret campaign has been banned in Basel City for being racist.

Voters will decide at the end of November on an initiative to ban the construction of minarets in Switzerland. The poster shows a woman in a burka alongside a Swiss flag which has missile-shaped minarets sprouting out of it.

In Lucerne, Zurich and Winterthur, authorities are waiting on a report due out today by the Federal Commission against Racism, before deciding whether to issue a ban on the poster.

Oskar Freysinger, a member of parliament, from the Swiss People’s Party, told Carla Drysdale that if other Swiss cities follow Basel’s lead, it will only give publicity to the Party’s goal to ban minarets in Switzerland.

Drug addict brother of Muslim terrorist chooses deportation

Examiner -- JULIANA BARBASSA

Brother of bomb plot suspect choses deportation

A teenager whose brother was arrested last month for planning to blow up a Dallas skyscraper told an immigration judge on Tuesday that he wanted to go home to Jordan.

Hussein Smadi, 18, appeared before a San Francisco immigration court and told the judge he wanted to rejoin his father in his home country. He offered to pay his own ticket.

Smadi entered the United States legally on a tourist visa in 2007, but stayed after it expired and enrolled in high school.

He was arrested on a drug charge, and pleaded not guilty to possession of a controlled substance on Sept. 8, according to the Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office.

Friends say Smadi and his brother, Hosam Maher Husein Smadi, moved to Santa Clara, Calif. after their mother died. But when Hosam Smadi moved to Italy, a small town outside Dallas, Hussein Smadi remained in Silicon Valley.

Hosam Smadi was arrested Sept. 24 in Dallas and faces a charge of attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction.

Authorities say Smadi parked a truck he thought contained a bomb in the garage beneath the 60-story Fountain Place office building. Later, authorities say, he dialed a cell phone he thought would ignite a blast.

The device was actually a decoy provided by FBI employees posing as al-Qaida operatives. The FBI had been keeping tabs on Smadi since an undercover language analyst discovered him in an online extremists group, according to an affidavit.  >>>

Most Belgian Muslim halal-products dirty

DeStandaard

Meer dan helft Belgische halalproducten is onrein

Volgens de Belgische halalfederatie is 60 procent van de aangeboden halalproducten onrein. 'Het gros van de Europese halalmarkt is in handen van boeven die uit eigenbelang de boel manipuleren', zo zegt Farid El Machaoud, de voorzitter van de federatie woensdag in De Morgen.

Over 60 percent of  Belgian halal products in the market are unclean, says the Belgian Halal Federation. "Most of the European halal market is in the hands of selfish Muslim thugs who manipulate Allah's will," says Farid El Machaoud, the chairman of the European Halal Federation on Wednesday to the  De Morgen newspaper.

According to El Machaoud,  a halal labels are being  "obtained without a vigorous control."  In practice, unclean Infidels [there we go again] are breaking the rules and certify  unclean stuff as  Muslim halal product."

The newly inaugurated European Association of Halal Certification, in Brussels, is going to combat the proliferation of incorrectly labeled Muslim halal products.

Halal means "pure" in Arabic. Meat for Muslim halal-products comes from certain animals that are slaughtered according to an islamic ritual.

UN: full asylum rights to all invader Muslims in Europe

French Muslim rights groups slam plans for migrant charter to Kabul

French rights groups and the left-wing opposition Tuesday slammed government plans to deport dozens of Afghan migrants rounded up in the port of Calais, reportedly on a joint charter flight with Britain.

Riot police detained scores of mostly Afghan migrants last month, many of them minors, when they bulldozed a makeshift camp called the "jungle" that was used as a base to cross the Channel to Britain.

French Immigration Minister Eric Besson told Le Monde newspaper on Monday that charter flights would leave in the coming days to deport failed asylum seekers.

President Nicolas Sarkozy said after the raid on 22 September that Paris and London would mount joint charter flights to deport the migrants, the first by the two countries since 2005.

Besson's ministry denied a claim from an aid group saying that a Franco-British charter was to leave London for Kabul on Tuesday night, stopping to pick up 10 migrants in northern France.

But the Cimade migrant support group and some 30 other associations issued a joint call for the government to abandon its plans for charters to Kabul.

"Afghanistan is a country at war. It is unacceptable to send people back there who escaped to Europe in search of protection," they wrote.

About 276 migrants were detained in the 22 September Calais raid, but judges in the various towns where they were sent to detention centres have ordered around 100 of them to be released over rights breaches.

But Besson told Le Monde that Sarkozy was determined the charter flights would go ahead.

"The head of state was categorical... in saying that the dismantling of the Calais “jungle” must be followed with repatriations, or else we will never settle this problem," Besson said.

Britain, which last year stopped 28,000 migrants trying to cross the 35 kilometres (22 miles) of water separating it from France, praised the raid.

But activists denounced it as a media stunt that would drive migrants further underground.

Rather than rounding up migrants, both the UN High Commissioner for Refugees and the EU's justice commissioner say the priority should be to offer full and fair asylum rights to migrants across the European Union.

Saudi gets 5 years in jail for frank TV sex talk

YahooNews -- DONNA ABU-NASR

A Saudi court on Wednesday convicted a man for publicly talking about sex after he bragged on a TV talk show about his exploits, sentencing him to five years in jail and 1,000 lashes, his lawyer said.

Talking about sex publicly is a taboo in ultraconservative Saudi Arabia.

Lawyer Sulaiman al-Jumeii said he plans to appeal the court's ruling and is confident the sentence against his client, which includes a ban on travel and talking to the media for five years after his release, will be revoked.

Al-Jumeii maintains that his client, Mazen Abdul-Jawad, was duped by the Lebanese LBC satellite channel which aired the talk show and was unaware in many cases he was being recorded.

"I hope you will not consider the case closed," the lawyer said. "I will continue pursuing the TV channel, even if no one stands by me, until it gets the punishment it deserves."

The program, which aired July 15 on LBC and was seen in Saudi Arabia, scandalized this conservative country where such frank talk is rarely heard in public. Some 200 people filed legal complaints against Abdul Jawad, who works for the national airline.

The program, "Bold Red Line," begins with Abdul-Jawad, dubbed a "sex braggart" and "Casanova" by the media, describing the first time he had sex at 14. He then leads viewers into his bedroom, dominated by red accessories, and then shows off blurred sex toys.

He is later joined by three male friends for a discussion on what turns them on.

Abdul-Jawad's lawyer maintains his client was referring to other people's sexual experiences and the toys were provided by the TV station.

Moroccan Olympic star arrested for threatening to kill Norwegian diplomats

Dagbladet -- KAMILLA THORESEN and ANNE KRISTIN HJUKSE

Khalid Skah ble pågrepet i Marokko

Etter nye trusler mot ambassadeansatte.OL-vinneren Khalid Skah har tidligere truet ansatte ved den norske ambassaden i Marokko.

 

Khalid Skah was arrested in Morocco. The Moroccan Olympic winner has previously threatened the staff of the Norwegian embassy in Morocco.

This summer he threatened to kill employees of the embassy and kidnap the children of the Norwegian diplomats.

"It has been an unpleasant time. The threats by Skah have been continuous for several months. A Norwegian policeman attached to the embassy has already been attacked in connection to this mess,"  said the ambassador, Bjørn Blokhus.

The attacks on the embassy and embassy personnel escalated, and finally Skah was arrested outside the Norwegian embassy in Rabat last week after commotion in front of the embassy.

"There has been several threats by Skah recently against the embassy personnel. Skah has been arrested, but wqas released immediately.  The Norwegian embassy security declines to comment on security measures around the embassy in Rabat.

"We conduct security reviews of our embassies regularly, and make the necessary corrections and improvement security situation requires," the spokesman for the Foreign Ministry,Marte Lerberg, told  to Dagbladet.

Threatened policeman

The police officer who was employed at the embassy was subjected to direct threats by the Olympic winner after he helped the Skah children in safety.

The two Norwegian-Moroccan children ran away from his father  to Norway together with their mother, Anne Cecilie Hopstock. The children, Skah's 13 year-old son and 16-year-old daughter, escaped once before, but were caught and  then brought back to their father. The second time they escaped,  in the end of June,  they sought asylum at the Norwegian embassy until their mother picked them up.

The policeman was "robbed" in June. It all began when a woman tried to enter  his house in the middle of the night. "I threw her out and two Muslims came around the corner and hit me in the head with something hard. It was a clean cut.  I think they cut me with a knife, but it was all over in twenty seconds, so it's hard to tell."

The reason that the experienced police officer does not think it was Skah who were behind the attack is the wording of Skah's direct threat a couple of weeks later.

"When he threatened to kill me, he said that he would go from house to house to find me," said the policeman who lived just outside Rabat. He has returned to Norway for good.

Offered bounty

The former Olympic champion, Khalid Skah, called for  a fatwa to help him to get the children back. He also offered a bounty of 500,000 dollars to anyone who'd bring the two children back to Morocco.

During a press conference in August, he blasted the Norwegian authorities. "The Norwegian democratic government took away the children."

"My children are illegally kept away from me. I wonder what's the idea behind it all. The ambassador has tried to take the children away from me by every means possible. The ambassador has entered my house without permission and kidnapped my children without asking them what they want."

Fled home

The former world star, Skah, fell in love with the Oslo girl, Anne Cecilie Hopstock (43), after winning the Olympic gold in 1992. After the couple had two children, marriage began to sour.

In autumn 2006 the two moved to Morocco to live there for ten months. The move was bad.  Anne Cecilie Hopstock fled in despair from Morocco, while the children were stayed back.

The children escaped in dramatic circumstances at the beginning of March this year. They were betrayed, and the punishment was that they were taken out of school and placed on a desert farm an half hour south of Rabat.

Skah claims that the children were transported to Norway by the Norwegian authorities, and that the motive for kidnapping the children to Norway was to win votes in this fall's election campaign.

Palestinian Hamas Bans Motorbike Rides For Women

Palestinian Hamas Bans Motorbike Riders From Carrying Women, Another Step In 'virtue Campaign'

The Hamas government has banned motorcycle riders from carrying women on the back seat _ the latest in the militants' virtue campaign in Gaza.

The ban was posted on Hamas Interior Ministry Web site on Tuesday.

It says the ban seeks "to preserve citizen safety and the stability of Palestinian society's customs and traditions."

Hamas wants to impose a strict interpretation of Islam. Its other efforts have included breaking up mixed couples on the beach and obliging female lawyers to wear headscarves in court.

The group insists compliance with the campaign is voluntary and reflects Gaza's conservative ways, but reports have surfaced of offenders being beaten or arrested.

Gazan women almost never drive motorcycles, and rarely even ride behind men.

Danish commies collect money for Muslim terrorists

Freedom fighting not terrorism
BerlingskeTidende -- Casper dall

Enhedslisten reklamerer for indsamling til terrorister

Dansk Folkepartis Peter Skaarup raser over, at Enhedslisten på partiets hjemmeside reklamerer for en støtteindsamling til organisationen, PFLP, der er på EUs liste over terrororganisationer. Enhedslisten afviser.

Enhedslisten advertises fundraising event for Muslim terrorists

Mr Peter Skaarup of the Danish People's Party is angry over the Unity List's [ The Red-Green Alliance Enhedslisten, lit. Unity List, is a Revolutionary socialist political party in Denmark] website advertising for a fundraising to support the Muslim terror organization, PFLP, which is on the EU list of terrorist organizations. The Enhedslisten denies the charge.

Does the  Unity List (Enhedslisten) break terror law? The Danish People's Party's  spokesman for legal affairs,  Peter Skaarup, raises the question after reading about a fundraising event on the Unity List 's website for the Muslim terrorist organization, the PFLP, which is included on the EU list of terrorist organizations.

"It is totally unacceptable for the Unity List to violate Danish terror laws  and through its website advertise a festive gathering for the notoriously infamous Palestinian terrorist organization, the PFLP," says Skaarup..

The Danish People's Parrty will request the Danish minister of Justice,  Brian Mikkelsen, to investigate whether the Unity List has breached Danish terrorism laws.

"Earlier this year the Supreme Court sentenced six members of the Fighters & Lovers to varying terms of imprisonment for supporting the violent Colombian FARC movement and Palestinian PFLP on the grounds "that the PFLP has attacked and murdered civilians with car bombs and Muslim suicide bombers."

"There should not exist a slightest doubt that the recommence of fundraising for the PFLP terror organization by the Unity List's members of parliament and the party is a clear violation of the Danish law. I expect the Minister of Justice to ask prosecutors to assess whether there is grounds to indict the Party or members of the Unity List and the organizers of the fundraising for violation of the Danish terror laws," says Peter Skaarup.

The Unity List's  Line Barfod calls the incident a "regrettable mistake" that the ad for supporting the event has found its way to the party's website.
