Londonistan's Dhimmitude - Teachers' Muslim dress order

Teachers' Muslim dress order

By ANDREW PARKER

Published: 31 Oct
2007

A SCHOOL was yesterday accused of MAKING teachers dress up as
Asians for a day – to celebrate a Muslim festival.

Kids at the 257-pupil
primary have also been told to don ethnic garb even though most are Christians.

The morning assembly will be open to all parents – but dads are BARRED
from a women-only party in the afternoon because Muslim husbands object to wives
mixing with other men.

Just two members of staff – a part-time teacher
and a teaching assistant – are Muslim.

Chechen rebel urges global jihad

Chechen rebel urges global jihad

By Richard Galpin
BBC News, Grozny
A Chechen Muslim rebel leader is reported to have described the US, Britain and Israel as legitimate targets in a jihad, or holy war.
Doku Umarov said it was not just the Russian security forces who deserved to be attacked.

The separatist leader said all those who fight Muslims anywhere in the world were enemies.

Other Chechen separatists have denounced the statement, which was sent to US-backed Radio Liberty.

It was made earlier this month, apparently to coincide with the birthday of Russian President Vladimir Putin, but a video of it has only just been received by the radio station.

Mr Umarov said: "Our brothers are fighting in Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia and Palestine.

"Our common enemies are all those who have attacked Muslims wherever they are.

"Not only Russia, but also the USA, the UK, Israel and all those waging war against Islam and Muslims are our enemies."

'Criminal, provocation'

But it is hard to see what practical effect this statement will have.

The rebels in Chechnya are now largely confined to the mountains in the south of the Russian republic and attacks on the security forces are sporadic.

There are thought to be less than 1,000 fighters left after the second Chechen war, which was launched by Mr Putin eight years ago.

Even so, Mr Umarov's words have provoked a furious reaction from other Chechen separatists.

One, Ahmed Zakayev, who is now based in London, described the statement as "criminal and a provocation".

He is no doubt concerned it will result in the rebels being labelled as Islamic hardliners rather than separatists fighting for Chechnya to break away from Russian control.

So today it's "Blackwater" gate?

What's that? another excuse why the Islamic world doesn't like us?

Jack, Let us give you an inside secret, the agitators are by 2 forces:one is the Arab media [that has a "thing" about the west no matter what we do], the other one is blind hateful Islamic Imams [that could care less about a 'Blackwater' or any other 'waters', and more about a global Islamic Caliphate Emopire].

Did you see any change in the hatred of that world when Israel gave away it's Gaza-land to the Palestinians? yes sure, the response was so typical, in fact, most of them immediately voted for the racist Jihadi Hamas pro-genocide.

They always suffer from their leaders - PA red-tape prevents medical care for Palestinians

They always suffer from their leaders - Why 'Palestinian' patients prefer humanitarian Israeli hospitals

PA red-tape prevents medical care for Palestinians, Palestinians arriving in Israel for medical care encounter Palestinian government's refusal to reimburse Israeli hospitals' expenses, causing delays in treatment. 'We don't really exist as far as Hamas and Fatah are concerned,' patients say

Ali Waked Published: 10.29.07, 08:33 / Israel News

For many Palestinians, the ongoing fighting between Hamas in the Gaza strip and Fatah in the West Bank has created a far more serious problem: The lack of proper medical care.

Palestinian hospitals refer many of their patients to Israeli hospitals, where they can receive better treatment; but in many cases, even those who are able to get the necessary permission to cross over to Israel to receive treatment find themselves being turned down. The reason – the Israeli hospitals can no longer bill the Palestinian government for their treatment.

Under Pressure

Gaza hospital faces shortage in equipment, blood units / Aviram Zino

As injured continue to pour into Gaza's Shifa hospital, physicians struggle with limited equipment, lack of medicine and beds. 'We're not sure we would be able to save the critically injured,' one doctor says
Full Story

The hospitals' administrators find themselves – as do the patients' families – going back and forth between Gaza and Ramallah trying to find their way through the bureaucratic maze.

The end result is almost always the same: The Palestinian government in Ramallah makes the necessary monetary arrangements, but only exhausting everyone involved.

PA's indifference
A. and his sister, from Gaza, came to the Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center in order to be treated for cancer.

"The administrator in Gaza thought he could get away with giving her a referral just for a diagnosis. The Israeli staff saw right through that and told us the treatment requires a different kind of coverage.

"The administrator here sent Gaza dozens of faxes every day until Ramallah said they would pay for it… you see the Israeli staff's dedication and concern and on the other hand, the Palestinians' indifference and you can't understand how your own people completely ignore you and you supposed enemy bends over backwards to see that you get everything you need," said A.

Another problem deriving from this situation is that the permits given to the patients immediate family – or anyone else that chooses to accompany them to Israel – are reduced to the hospital's vicinity only. "We literally can't leave the premises," M., a Palestinian who is staying with a sick relative in the Tel Aviv medical center, told Ynet.

"Instead of making this process as quick as possible, they (Hamas and Fatah) take their time in fighting each other…we don't really exist as far as they're concerned. God will avenge all of them for all our suffering," he added.

Aviva Shemer, spokesperson for the Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center, told Ynet that the hospital "does all it can to allow the Palestinian population access to the best possible medical care. We usually get the Palestinian Authority's full cooperation."

CNN's Jihadists apologist & Jew-hater: Christianne Amanpour's FAKE 'Jewish warriors'

CNN's Jihadists apologist & Jew-hater: Christianne Amanpour's FAKE 'Jewish warriors'

What a low level of fake “journalism” in turning self defense by Israelis into a “religious matter”, in a cheap attempt to try and equate anti terrorism to Jihadi fascists, only Islamic “warriors” kill in the NAME of religion, even Christianne Amanpour “strongest proof”: Baruch Goldstein did NOT act in the name of religion, he went mad and insane, personally after friends were all killed.

The so called “International law”, which was orchestrated by Arab Muslim lobbyists and oil power, is repeated by this Arabist “journalist”, many times, what “international law” is there about defending lives?

Then she has her venomous hateful way of portraying pro-Zionists as “fanatics”, in other words, total demonization, goes after everyone sympathetic to Jews living in their historic land.

As if “settlements” are ‘THE’ obstacle to peace? how much closer to ‘peace’ did the middle east came as soon as “religious God’s warriors” gave over Israel's piece of land to the Arab grand children of mere) immigrants?

The “Palestinians” [as soon as Israel made that historic sacrifice in 2005] couldn't wait to support overwhelmingly the terror “movement” Hamas, bend on “drinking the blood of the Jews and wipe them all of [their words!] (Hamas vows to 'drink' Jewish blood http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=48844 ).

Why would she magnify the "settlements" subject? well, In accordance with the first rule in Pallywood propaganda, to lie to the world that anti Israel stems from supposedly "issues" [today it's a barrier against bombers, What was (always violent) Arabs' excuse before 1967?], and not the truth which is the bigotry of 'not wanting the non Arab-Muslim entity' there.

Which is why she [in her pick and choose history] ignores the basic historical facts of Arab attacks on Jews in Israel/palestine many years before any such "settlements" came about, or even much prior to the reinstating of the 'renewed state of Israel'. (A History of Arab Terrorism in Israel since 1920...
http://lindasog.com/public/terrorvictims.htm)
Or [talking about 'international law'?] that the Arabs rejected the UN offer of partition and STARTED all the wars against Israel.

Which the reason she avoids the entire central struggle of Israel, survival against genocide, that is.

(Even the issue of 'settlements' has within it, an argument of a security buffer zone, not just a "religiious" argument.)

Amanpour also "provided" us a typical 'Palestinian' propaganda title, that the Intifadah was to "shake off Israel's occupation", what a blatant lie, radical Muslims want to kill every Jew [at least] in the entire area, period! (Hamas is committed to continuing jihad against "the Jews" until Allah's victory is implemented. ... Oh Allah, annihilate the Jews and their supporters. ...
http://www.nationalreview.com/comment/comment-littman092602.asp, And supporting Iran's Islamic Hitler Ahmadinejad, that wants to wipe off Israel
http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/iran/zionist-entity.htm).

So desperate to embed her hateful anti-Israel bigotry into "religion" she had 0% success in connecting the [not Islamic lobby, or the most powerful lobby the Arab oil lobby, but the] Pro-Israel lobby, it seems clearly, that Chrstianne Amanpour was looking for an opportunity to simply bash Jews.

What on earth does secular state of Israel's anti terror policies have to do with "religion"?

CNN's program, is nothing but an appeasement for the only ones that are of a real threat to the world, [AKA Islamo-Fascists], on every corner of the face of this earth, and trivializing their crimes as "just another extremist phenomenon".

This too, plus a venemous hate against Jews by Arabist Christianne Amanpour.

Islam's Assassins are Dancing

Islam's Assassins are Dancing
by SOPnewswire

Posted October 30, 2007

In a ministry that spans 44 years, bestselling author Chris Panos has worked with and ministered to Muslims in countries including Syria, Iran, Jordan, Israel, Lebanon, India, China, Spain, and Africa. His latest book, Dancing with Islam's Assassins, takes on the issues raised by the spread of radical Islam.

In his book, Panos points out that Islamic terrorism impacts everybody, Muslim and non-Muslim alike. If you are a Sunni Muslim, you need to worry about Shiite Muslims; if you are a Shiite Muslim, you need to worry about the Sunnis. Do you live in a country that has a secular Muslim government? Muslim extremists do not believe in the separation of church and state. Muslim extremists would like to overthrow all secular Muslim governments and replace them with a theocracy that would be governed by Muslim law. Panos points out that Muslim extremists do not mind killing Muslim civilians in the course of waging a jihad. They will impose their own strict interpretations of Islamic religious law as the law of the land in any country if they can. Their goal is an all-Muslim world ruled by strict Muslim law.

The first part of this book discusses Islamic terrorists: what they believe, and what they plan to do. It discusses Muslim disinformation-how Muslims use the press to plant the lies that will further their cause. It discusses the weapons of mass destruction that are available to Islamist terrorists now. And it gives you just enough historic background so you can see how we arrived where we are today.

Part Two discusses Islamic terrorism and the times we live in from a Biblical perspective. Islamic terrorists and their nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons of mass destruction are a major threat to world peace. But terrorists are not the only threat to human health and wellbeing. We live in a time when the very forces of nature-earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes, epidemics and disturbances in the heavenlies-will cause "distress of nations, with perplexity." Part Two includes a discussion of these additional threats as well.

The two blasts on Bali's Kuta strip on Oct. 12, 2002, one at Paddy's Bar, the other at the Sari Club, killed 202 including 88 Australians and 38 Indonesian citizens, and devastated the resort island's tourist industry.

Islamofascism - Londonistan Calling

http://www.investors.com/editorial/editorialcontent.asp?secid=1501&status=article&id=278636413897644

Londonistan Calling


Posted 10/30/2007

Islamofascism:
Six years after America's 9/11 and two years after London's 7/7, a British think
tank finds mosques in the U.K. and elsewhere are still preaching hate against
the West. Some things never change.


Whenever it's pointed out that
their members have a nasty habit of trying to kill innocent nonbelievers,
fundamentalist Islamic groups in Britain are among the first to cry foul.
"Ridiculous!" they say. "Islam is a religion of peace with more than a billion
adherents. We can't be responsible for everyone."

The problem, as a
report by Britain's Policy Exchange think tank shows, is that British mosques
have a surprising amount of extremist hate literature that they make available
to worshippers.

How hateful is it? The think tank fanned out across the
U.K., visiting 100 places of worship for the country's fastest-growing religion,
Islam. (More people in Britain attend mosque each week than services for the
Church of England, Britain's official state religion.)

Of the mosques
visited, 25% had hate literature. Investigators found 80 pamphlets and books
preaching violence, intolerance and outright hatred of anyone not Muslim.

The literature advocates, among other things, beheading those who leave
Islam, banning interfaith marriage, requiring women to stay indoors, stoning
adulterers and carrying out violent jihad against those who don't believe.

Here are just a few examples:

• If a man quits Islam, "his head
should be chopped off . . . 'Whoever changes his religion, kill him.' "

• "The Jews and the Christians are the enemies of the Muslim, and they
will never be pleased with the Muslims."

• Jihad against "a tyrant,
oppressors, people of bid'ah (religious change), or wrongdoers" is "best done
through force if possible."

• "Whoever takes part in stoning a married
adulterer, is rewarded for that, and it is not fitting for anyone to abstain
from it if a ruling of stoning is issued."

Some of the material calls on
British Muslims to separate themselves from non-Muslims — a kind of
self-apartheid. They also call for Christians, Jews and others to be treated
with the disrespect of second-class citizens — even in their own countries.

Some of it also called for gays to be tossed off mountains and buildings
for their sins.

Some mosques had copies of "The Protocols of the Learned
Elders of Zion" — a crude, anti-Semitic forgery purporting to outline a global
Jewish conspiracy to control the world's governments. Still others had books
claiming birth control was a plot against Muslims.

Just another faith in
a multicultural universe, or a serious problem? We think it's the latter. A
London Times survey last summer found "almost half of Britain's mosques are
under the control of a hard-line Islamic sect whose leading preacher loathes
Western values and has called on Muslims to 'shed blood' for Allah."

The
sect in question, the radical Deobandis, helped found the Taliban in
Afghanistan. Its members now run 600 of Britain's 1,350 mosques, the Times
found, plus 17 of its 26 Islamic seminaries.

Muslims in Britain now
total 1.8 million, or 3% of the population, but they're growing twice as fast as
the population as a whole. No doubt many are fine people. But some aren't, as
the subway bombings of July 7, 2005, showed. Britain is headed for an uncivil,
religious war if it keeps doing nothing. So is the rest of Europe.

"Given the British jihadists who've been discovered in the thick of it
in Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Palestine, Chechnya and Bosnia," author Mark
Steyn noted in 2005, "only a fool would believe they had no plans for anything
closer to home — or, rather, 'home.' "

Yet U.K. policy seems frozen.
This is a major problem, one that can't be wished away with multicultural
platitudes and Kumbaya sociology. Britain must act, or lose its ancient
civilization.

By happy coincidence, this week Saudi Arabia's Kind
Abdullah is making an official visit to Britain. Since his government is largely
responsible for funding the mosques' hate literature, Abdullah should know that
funding hate in the U.K. and elsewhere will no longer be tolerated.

European resentment of Muslims is on the rise

European resentment of Muslims is on the rise

October 29, 2007

SHELLEY EMLING

AMSTERDAM

Ehsan Jami sees himself as the legendary Dutch boy who used his finger to plug a leaking dike.

Jami, a Dutch politician, is trying to prevent a flood of what he views as intolerant Muslim immigrants threatening to overrun the Netherlands and all of Europe.

He's not alone. In France, Germany and across Western Europe, a vigorous public debate is underway over preservation of national identities, the assimilation of minorities and tolerance of different cultures.

A former Muslim who was born in Iran, Jami is a right-wing member of the Dutch parliament who has used his position to issue strong criticism of Islam.

He's especially critical of "radical" Muslims but he also takes issue with Islam's treatment of women and homosexuals.

The harsh rhetoric has made him the most talked-about public figure in Holland and provoked physical attacks and death threats, forcing him into hiding.

"I don't mind if people are Muslim but I do mind when their values go against Western values," Jami said in a recent interview, under the watchful eye of his bodyguards. "We have to be very clear with Muslim immigrants that we will not negotiate our values."

The Netherlands has one of the largest populations of Muslims in Western Europe -- about one million, or roughly six per cent of the population, second only to France. The largest groups are people with origins in Morocco or Turkey.

The country has long taken pride in its religious, political and social tolerance, as well as its acceptance of ethnic minorities. And many in the Netherlands' new coalition government boast a pro-immigrant stance.

But the threats of terrorism and sheer demographics have started to confront traditional Dutch open-mindedness. Studies estimate that Muslims will form the majorities in the Netherlands' four biggest cities by 2020.

Many Muslims say they don't feel at home here.

"I've lived here for 40 years and I still don't feel welcome," said Atel Alireza, a taxi driver from Turkey. "But I would say things have gotten a lot worse since 9/11."

Apprehension over the growing influx of immigrants extends to many European countries. Islam is now the second-largest religion in Europe, with at least 15 million Muslims residing in Western Europe.

The French Assembly is considering legislation this month that would require DNA tests for immigrants wanting to bring family members to France. The law would also require language tests for immigrants.

In Austria, the interior minister said last week that he wants to double the time that immigrants spend in German language courses to ensure they are assimilated into Austrian society. Guenther Platter told public broadcaster ORF he thinks the current requirement of 300 hours of German instruction is not enough and should "at least be doubled."

In Switzerland, a campaign poster of the conservative People's Party ahead of the Oct. 21 national elections depicts three white sheep kicking a black sheep.

The idea behind the poster, say members of the People's Party -- one of the fastest-growing movements in the country -- is to show support for a proposed law that would require the deportation of non-citizens convicted of crimes.

In the Netherlands, the fallout from tensions has been legislative proposals to ban the Qu'ran; make it illegal for women to wear burqas in public; and create more legal options for closing mosques known to be hotbeds of radicalism.

So far none of the proposals has gained traction. And Jami's Dutch Labour Party has distanced itself from Jami and his statements on Islam.

But immigration and Islam are issues that have held sway in Dutch politics particularly since 2002, when the right-wing anti-immigrant populist Pim Fortuyn was assassinated.

The debate intensified in November 2004 after the murder of Theo van Gogh, a filmmaker who had made a movie called Submission that featured a beaten, naked Muslim woman covered in writings from the Qu'ran.

The killer was a young radical Islamist. In retaliation, some Muslim schools and places of worship were torched.

Even Jami, who says he gave up Islam after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, doesn't paint all Muslims with the same brush.

He said he has nothing against moderate Muslims who adapt to Dutch values. "What I'm against is the creation of special rules for the Muslims," he said.
