Afraid Of Valentine's Day

I know it has been Valentine's day, but it made me laugh when I read the news about the fear of Valentine's Day in Saudi Arabia:

The shopowners, especially giftshops and florists received an official letter with the warning of the consequences of selling anything red or with cupids or hearts on Valentine's Day

Even red ribbon, red wrapping paper is banned on that day.

The ministry cited a fatwa that describes it as "a Christian, pagan holiday that Muslims are not permitted to celebrate, or even acknowledge."

Geert Wilders' Party Second Biggest In Latest Polls

The row over the banning of anti-immigration MP Geert Wilders from entering Britain last week has not boosted the popularity of his PVV party greatly, according to the latest online poll by Maurice de Hond.

The populist PVV would win 25 seats (!) in the 150-seat parliament if an election was held now, just two more than a week ago. The party currently has nine MP's

The two extra seats come from the main government partners, the Christian Democrats (CDA) and Labour, who both lost one each in the latest opinion poll. This makes the PVV the second biggest party after the CDA.

Gang-Raped Woman Sentenced To Prison, And 100 Lashes

Saudi Arabia: A gang-raped woman (23) has been condemned to one year in prison and 100 lashes.

In Saudi Arabia you're not a victim when you become pregnant after sexual violence but you are

"guilty of adultery" and "having accepted a ride from a stranger"...

Swedish Skier Beaten In Gulmarg On Holy Words

Protests erupted in Gulmarg today with irate local groups beating up a foreign skier after his sledge was found to be inscribed with holy verses.

Reports said that people spotted the kalima-e-tayyaba, or the basic creed of Islam, inscribed over the bottom of the ski sledge of one Hans Patrick, a skier who had come all the way from Sweden to enjoy the slopes of Gulmarg.

Locals in Tangmarg and Gulmarg erupted in protest, and some groups pounced on the tourist, beating him up.

But the foreigner was rescued by the police who took him under their custody.

The skier, who had been staying in a private hut for the past 10 days, was a part of a group brought here by the Israeli travel agency, EDOO, which has been operating Gulmarg tours for the past several years.

The locals also staged protest against the police for its failure to register a case on the tourist.

Meanwhile, an official spokesman here said that the sticker carrying the holy words had been given to the tourist by his wife, who is a Qatari Muslim, for his protection, but he had unknowingly used it incorrectly.

"Kashmiris overwhelmingly welcome the arrival of foreign tourists in Kashmir and such incidents are almost unheard of but in this incident ignorance had led to offending local sensibilities", said Babar Khan of Lake City Tours and Travels.

Dutch MP Wilders Refused Entry To The UK

"A threat to public order"

Dutch Right-wing politician and controversial anti-Islam campaigner Geert Wilders has been refused entry to the United Kingdom despite being invited to visit by a member of the House of Lords, the British parliament's upper chamber.

Mr Wilders, who was due to go to London this Thursday, received a letter today, 10 February, from the British ambassador to the Netherlands telling him that he was not welcome, reportedly because his visit would constitute a threat to public order.

Mr Wilders responded to the decision in fighting mood, telling Dutch media that he still intended to travel to London:

"I'll see what happens at the border. Let them put me in handcuffs."

Dutch Foreign Minister Maxime Verhagen's response was also firm. He contacted his UK counterpart, David Miliband, by telephone and voiced his dissatisfaction that a member of the Dutch parliament - Geert Wilders is in fact also the leader of a political grouping, The Freedom Party - has been prohibited from entering a fellow European Union member state.

Invited

Geert Wilders, perhaps best known outside the Netherlands for having made the video Fitna, in which the religion Islam and its holy book the Qur'an are Islam attacked as providing a basis for terrorist attacks and for the undermining of western democracy and values, had been invited to London for a showing of this film to members of the British parliament.

The invitation to do so was extended to the controversial Dutch politician by a member of the unelected House of Lords.

Regrettable

Mr Verhagen commented regarding the showing of Fitna in the British parliament that this was a matter for the House of Lords to decide on, but added: "The fact that a Dutch parliamentarian is refused entry to another EU country is highly regrettable."

Geert Wilders was initially to have shown his video to the British parliament in January, but those plans were cancelled following fierce protests from the UK's Muslim community.

(Again the leader of one of the biggest parties of the Netherlands has to be silence, like the voters and members of this party who indirectly are being disadvantaged with this mistreat.

And as always: the people with the biggest mouths are getting it their way again.)

Australian Wildfires Could Fuel "Forest Jihad" Terrorists, Experts Say.

Firefighters and homeowners aren't the only ones keenly watching Australia's massive wildfires, responsible for killing at least 173 people in the southern part of the continent.

Terrorism experts suspect Muslim extremists are watching closely, too - and taking note of the devastation.

While Australian authorities have revealed no evidence linking the wildfires to extremists, terrorism experts say the large death toll, the huge swath of destruction and the massive financial blow to the country are proving to Islamic terrorists that arson can be a highly effective - and simple - tool of holy war.

In November, an extremist Web site called on Muslims to launch a "forest jihad" in Australia, Europe, Russia and the United States. The posting, which quoted imprisoned al-Qaeda terrorist Mustafa Setmariam Nasar, said setting forest fires was legal under "eye-for-an-eye" Islamic law.

"Scholars have justified chopping down and burning the infidels' forests when they do the same to our lands," the posting read.

The author of the posting indicated that Nasar - also known as Abu Musab al-Suri - was urging terrorists to use sulfuric acid or gasoline to start the fires.

"Forest fires track well with the latest discussion trends seen in the al-Qaeda forums - easy to do, big impact, low security risk, high media coverage," said al-Qaeda expert Jarret Brachman.

"We've seen these kinds of appeals for action, be it setting fire to forests in Australia, to creating oil slicks on mountain roads in Europe, to poisoning water supplies and driving buses off bridges in the United States.

The fact is that the al-Qaeda ideology is starting to branch out to more of an 'anyone, anywhere, anytime, anyhow' approach."

Brachman, author of "Global Jihadism: Theory and Practise," said: "Forest jihad fits well in the growing interest among terrorists to establish "al-Qaeda armies of one."

"Could militants do this? Yes," said Steve Emerson, executive director of The Investigative Project on Terrorism. "It wouldn't be difficult, in the same way that terrorists could poison stored food supplies."

Perhaps more troubling, Emerson said, is that there is very little authorities can do to prevent terrorists from setting deadly wildfires.

"It would be absolutely impossible to protect against," he said. "Airport parameters are hard enough to protect. Imagine trying to protect something 100,000 times as big."

Neil Livingstone, chairman and CEO of Executive Action LLC, an international consulting firm, said terrorists could claim responsibility for the Australian inferno even if they had nothing to do with it. "That may be something that they try to do," Livingstone told FOXNews.com. "Terrorists may well try to pile on, if you will, and say this is their moving hand and that they have unseen agents that are responsible for this. But you can bet that would produce a hell of a backlash against the Muslim population in Australia."

"If extremists did have had a hand in the wildfires," Emersons said, "it would be very disturbing. It would indicate a new area of jihadist attacks, that is, attacking natural resources. And given the devastation of these fires, it certainly could instill new terror ideas in other areas like the food supply chain or in the evironmental realm.

Nonetheless, the majority of terrorists are likely seeking ways to create the most destruction with the least amount of effort. A wildfire doesn't yield 'as much fruit' as an inner-city bombing," he said.

But Brachman said the "al-Qaeda armies of one" approach has several benefits for terrorists, including more overall acts of violence and additional opportunities to become involved in new geographical areas. It also means less operational control for al-Qaeda's senior commanders, he said.

"We're definitely going to see more of calls for these kinds of operations in the future," he said.

"The question that American security professionals and first responders will have to wrestle with is whether anyone will be answering these calls."

Birmingham is home to al-Qaeda linked terror suspects

Abd'rabbah Ghuma, 51, Abdulbaqi Mohammed Khaled, 51 and Mohammed Benhammedi, 42, appear on a United Nation's list of al-Qaeda and Taliban associates.

Khaled and Benhammedi are accused of being key terror financiers, while Ghuma is accused of being involved in transferring cash and travel documents to Middle East terror cells.

Last night, a spokeswoman for West Midlands Police said the force could not comment on ongoing investigations.

"We work closely with a range of national and international agencies including Interpol," she said.

"However, we cannot discuss individuals that may or may not be subject of an ongoing investigation or operation."

An Interpol spokeswoman urged anyone with information regarding the wherabouts of Khaled, Benhammedi or Ghuma to contact them immediately.

Terrorist Alert: Osama Bin Laden Associates On Run In Midlands

Three members of a suspected terror cell with links to al-Qaeda are on the run in the Midlands.

The alleged jihadists, who all have joint Libyan/British citizenship, have been placed on Interpol's Most Wanted list over claims they funded terror plots for Osama Bin Laden.

The international police force has made the men subject to a Red Notice - the highest level of arrest warrant - and have traced them to areas in and around Birmingham.

Police Adopt Uniform Hijab

This is not a joke...

Police in Leicester (UK) have opened the door to female Muslim recruits by incorporating the hijab into the uniform.

The force has become the latest to approve a design for a headscarf suitable for officers on patrol.

A small number of forces nationwide have taken a similar step, including Thames Valley and the Metropolitan police.

Bomber In Police Uniform Kills 21 Afghan Policemen

KANDAHAR, Afghanistan (AP)

A suicide bomber in a police uniform detonated his explosives inside a police training center in southern Afghanistan on Monday, killing 21 officers and wounding at least 20, officials said. The Taliban claimed responsibility.

Saudi Arabia Arrests Christian Blogger

Authorities in Saudi Arabia have detained a 28-year-old blogger, Hamoud Bin Saleh, for publicly writing about his conversion from Islam to Christianity on his website.

He was arrested for "his opinions and announcement at his blog that he converted from Islam to Christianity", according to a report by the Arabic Network for Human Rights Information (ANHRI).

The Saudi officials have now blocked Bin Saleh's blog, "Masihi Saudi", at http://christforsaudi.blogspot.com/

Bin Saleh's previous release from prison in November of 2009 coincided with the Saudi-initiated interfaith dialogue, held at the United Nations in New York, suggesting that his release came only because his arrest might have "tarnished its image" and "exposed the Saudi government's false allegations."

Immediately following the conference, the report indicated that Saudi officials chose to arrest Bin Saleh "because the entire world is busy following up on the aggression on Gaza, and the Saudi authorities may seize the chance to make an example with nobody watching."

Bin Saleh's case is especially urgent in that we know that this is not the first time that Saudi converts from Islam to Christianity have suffered terrible mistreatment:

In August of 2008, a female convert from Islam to Christianity was burned to death by her father. Her father was a member of the mutaween (Commission for Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice), an arm of the government that enforces religious purity and is the government's face of persecution to Christians in Saudi Arabia. She had also disclosed her faith on a website.

Please call the Saudi Arabian embassy in your country and ask the officials at the embassies to release him from prison.

Advertisement Muslim Dating Site

I had to put this advertisement in my blog.

On almost every website this advertisement shows up.

You must have noticed it also, it's hard to ignore, especially for an Islamophobe like me.

Out of curiosity I googled it and it seems to be a very popular"matrimonials service and marriage site for Muslim singles seeking partners for dating"

Reason for posting this it is probably the Muslim babyboom in Britain where I wrote about this day:

http://news-from-islam.blogspot.com/2009/02/muslims-population-grown-by-more-than.html

Or maybe this advertisement is the reason for the Muslim babyboom in Britain??

Just wondering...

Muslim's Population Grown By More Than 500,000 To 2.4 Million In Four Years

Britain's Muslim population has reached 2.4 million in just four years time, according to official research collated for The Times.

The population multiplied 10 times faster than the rest of society; more than 500, 000 in four years. In the same period the number of Christians in the country fell by more than 2 million.

Experts said that the increase was attributable to immigration, a higher birthrate and conversions to Islam during the period of 2004-2008.

Professor Coleman said that Muslims would naturally reap collective benefits from the increase in population. "In the growth of any population...its voice is regarded as being stronger in terms of formulating policy, not least because we live in a democracy where most people in most religious groups and most racial groups have votes. That necessarily means their opinions have to be taken and attention to be paid to them."

Muhammad Abdul Bari, general secretary of the Muslim Council of Britain, predicted that the number of mosques in Britain would multiply from the present 1,600 in line with the rising Islamic population. He said the greater platform that Muslims would command in the future should not be perceived as a threat to the rest of society.

"We each have our own set of beliefs. This should really be a source of celebration rather than fear as long as we all clearly understand that we must abide by the laws of this country regardless of the faith we belong to," he said.

(But they don't "celebrate" other beliefs in Islamic countries)

Ticking Bomb: Muslims in French Prisons, Blacks in US Jails.

Surprised?...



While in the United States African Americans tend to be disproportional in the prisons, in France it is the Muslims. Between 60 to 70 percent of all prisoners in France are Muslim.

Researchers, sociologists and Muslim leaders came with the information, the total Muslim population of France is 12%.

Brookings Institute underlined the seriousness of the French problem to the welfare of the country in relationship to some of its youth, a new generation that is not well integrated.

90% of the French Muslims condemned the attacks on the World Trade Towers and 70% supported France's involvement in an eventual military response. That shows that there is a pricipal core of Muslims against extremism but a serious concern about the growing numbers of disaffected youth ending up in prison and the evental consequences of it to their families and to the community, and possibly the world.

*In Britain, 11% of prisoners are Muslim in contrast to 2% of all inhabitants.

*In the Netherlands 20% of adult prisoners and 26% of all juvenile offenders are Muslim in contrast to the 5.5% of all inhabitants.

*In Belgium, Muslims from Morocco and Turkey make up at least 16% of the prison population, compared with 2% of the general populace.

The problem of depression and serious social consequences developing from the high rate of Muslims in prison has been documented for a number of years. In 2005 it was reported that this is a serious issue because the prisons are becoming a breeding ground for terrorists.

Islam Convert Jailed For Life For Failed Restaurant Bomb Attack

Asperger's sufferer was least cunning person to be charged with terror offences

A failed suicide bomber with a mental age of 10 who tried to blow up a busy Exeter restaurant has been jailed for life and told he must serve a minimum of 18 years.

Nicky Reilly, a white Muslim convert recruited via the internet by Islamist extremists, planned to kill dozens of people at the city's Giraffe restaurant on 22 May last year with home-made nail bombs.

The 22-year-old scceeded only in injuring himself when chemicals in one of the bombs reacted prematurely, exploiding the device in his hands as he assembed it in a lavatory cubicle.

Reilly, of Plymouth, Devon, was described by his own lawyer as the "least cunning" person ever to have been charged with terrorism offences.

Sentencing him yesterday, Mr Justice Calvert-Smith said it was only through "sheer luck and chance" that the bomb did not injure anyone else in the explosion.

He sentenced Reilly to life in prison and told him he must serve 18 years, adding: "The offence of attempted murder is aggravated by the fact that it was long-planned, that it had multiple intended victims and was intended to terrorise the population of this country."

The court had previously heard that Reilly, who suffers from Asperger's syndrome, converted to Islam after reading about religion on the internet.

He changed his name to Mohammad Rashid Saeed Alim in October 2004 using the names of the 9/11 bombers.

He started researching bomb-making in January 2008 and chatted online to at least two men in Pakistan whom police believe encouraged him to carry out the attack.

Reilly pleaded guilty to attempted murder and preparing an act of terrorism in October last year and was due to be sentenced the following month, but that hearing was postponed so an assessment of his mental health could be carried out.

In a suicide note read to the court yesterday, Reilly wrote: "I have not been brainwashed or indoctrinated. I am not insane." He also explained his motivation behind the attack, saying: "Everywhere Muslims are suffering at the hand of America."

Muslim Thieves Rape Girl When They Realize Victim Is Christian.

The Washington-DC based human rights group, International Christian Concern (ICC) http://www.persecution.org/ has just learned that six unidentified men went on a robbing spree in a rural village in Pakistan on the night of January 10, and when they realized that one of the households they were robbing was Christian, they gang-raped a 14-year-old girl in front of her parents to violate their faith.

The six criminals, armed with guns, forced their way into two Muslim houses and three Christian homes, physically assaulted the residents, and took cash, TVs, cell phones and other valuables.

After robbing the homes, the six men returned to Rafiq Masih's house and began mocking Rafiq and his wife for being Christians. Not satisfied with the damage they already inflicted, the thieves then bound Rafiq and his wife and gang-raped Rafiq's teenage daughter Naomi right in front of them.

The criminals left Naomi unconscious and in critical condition and escaped with the stolen items. Naomi was immediately taken to the hospital.

The local police have registered a case against the six men for robbery and for gang-raping Naomi. The thieves are still at large but police sources said that investigations are underway and pledged to track down the culprits.

Holocaust Day Britain Boycott By Muslim Council

The Muslim Councel of Britain boycotted yesterday's national Holocaust Memorial Day commemoration in protest at the Israeli offensive in Gaza this month. The desision not to send representatives from the umbrella body, which represents 500 Muslim organisations in Britain, was made at an MCB committee meeting last week.
The committee overwhelmingly ruled out attendance at events marking the Holocaust due to take place over the next few days, but the decision has not been officially announced. The MCB believes that the memorial day will be used to "silence criticism of Israel".

The Queen, Prince Philip and Tony Blair will represent the nation at Thursday's Holocaust Memorial Day national event at Westminster Hall, to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz.

More than 600 Holocaust survivors together with British soldiers who helped liberate the camps will attend.

Iqbal Sacranie, the secretary general of the Muslim Council of Britain, says it will not attend because the event did not include what it described as continuing human rights abuses and genocide in the occupied territories of Palestine.

Every year the MCB has a new excuse to boycott this event...

Pro-Israel Rally Crashed In Sweden

Protestors gathered to support Israel were pelted with eggs, bottles and tear gas grenades, then dispersed by police.

A pro-Israel rally in Malmo, Sweden was torn apart Sunday by pro-Palestinian residents who arrived on the scene with eggs, bottles, and tear gas grenades which they threw at Israel's supporters. Police dispersed the entire crowd.

Seven hundred people took part in the rally in support of Israel, which was held at the city's main square. It was organized by Malmo's Jewish community and Sweden's Democratic Party.

Protestors carried signs that said "Stop eight years of Qassams" and "Peace for children in Israel and Gaza". The organizers received a police permit for the demonstration.

However, a number of pro-Palestinian protesters who did not have a permit to demonstrate took to the streets in retaliation to the approved rally. They were not dispersed by police despite lacking a permit.

"At some point, about a half an hour after the protest began, pro-Palestinian protestors began to throw eggs, bottles, and even tear gas grenades", Elad Meier, a Bnei Akiva and Jewish Agency envoy to Sweden, recounted.

Meier added that the lawless protestors disconnected the speakers brought to the square by the Jewish community while its leader was speaking. The act brought the pro-Israel rally to an end, as others could not speak.

At this point, Meier said, police stepped in and asked the unruly protestors to leave. Officers then proceeded to clear the square of all present, including those who had received permission to demonstrate.

The Jewish community in Malmo was angered by the police's conduct, and its president has lodged an official complaint stating that only those who had protested without permit should have been dispersed.

Now, Cleric Abu Hamza Calls For Muslim Wives To "LAUGH OFF" Rape.

Beleaguered Australian cleric Abu Hamza came under fire again for his radical views on rape when his website claimed that Muslim wives could "laugh off" unwanted sex and rape could be confused with simply having a pushy husband.

In response to the sex-on-demand and wife smacking controversy sparked by Hamza's lectures, his Islamic Information and Services Network of Australasia website published an article saying the media had no right to question his marital teachings.

But the article on Hamza's IISNA website suggested a Muslim wife could choose to "laugh off" sex without consent or that spousal rape was hard to define and could just be a case of being married to a "pushy husband".

"If a husband enters upon his wife in a manner she does not approve, she might go as far as to contact the police and accuse him of rape or accept it with laughter and embarrassment, " the Daily Telegraph quoted the article, as saying stated.

Although Hamza would not take further questions on his views, the response on his IISNA website suggested Muslim wives defined rape differently to non-Muslim women.

"The relation between husband and wife - any husband and wife - is an exclusive and closed union, meaning their relationship can only be intervened upon the request or intent of one of the spouses, no-one else has the right to interrupt them," the article said.

"So if a Muslim couple agrees to live their life by Islamic teachings, then they are completely free to do so in the privacy of their home".

PVV: Hate Preacher Must Leave Country Or Go To Prison

The Islamic preacher Khalid Yasin must immediately leave the Netherlands is the opinion of Sietse Fritsma, member of the Party For Freedom, (PVV) from Geert Wilders.

Fritsma said this after the sheik made the remark on an Islamic University in Rotterdam.

In a speech Yasin said that Geert Wilders should be whipped for insulting Islam.

Fritsma wants the Muslim mayor of Rotterdam, Ahmed Aboutaleb, to stop the American imam from having a speech on Sunday in a mosque.
"It is obvious that this hate preacher calls for violence, he has to leave the Netherlands as soon as possible or go to prison." Fritsma says.

Minister of Justice, Ernst Hirsch Ballin, answered questions of several parties about the controversial imam this week. His conclusion was that there were no reasons to stop Yasin from visiting the Netherlands.
Fritsma said that the circumstances now has changed since the hate preacher made his violent remark.

UK NO1 TARGET TERROR ATTACKS

A leading Islamic terrorist has warned that Britain is now the No.1 target for horror attacks.

Evil al-Qaeda chif Abu Yahya al-Libi called on all Muslims to attack the UK, which he blames for the recent Palestinian deaths in the Gaza Strip.

The sick extremist, whose rant appeared on an Islamic website, singled out Britain because we signed the 1971 Balfour Declaration, which eventually led to the creation of Israel.

He said: "It's high time this criminal country - I mean Britain - paid the price of its historic crime that we have not and will never forget....

There is no child who dies in Palestine without this being the outcome of the country that handed Palestine to the Jews. That is Britain."

The Libyan hate preacher, whose group was responsible for 52 deaths in the 7/7 attacks on Britain in 2005, said violence is the only way to solve the problems in Gaza.

During his 31-minute rant, which is thought to have been filmed in either Pakistan or Afghanistan, he also dismissed peace protesters in Britain who spoke out over Israel's attacks.

He said: "We are not fooled by the policies of courtesy. A wolf is a wolf - even dressed as lamb.

Make them taste the bitterness of war and the tragedies of homelessness and the misery of horror. They should not be secure while our people are scared....

Oh, Mujahideen (holy strugglers) all over the world, rise up like a raging lion and do everything you can to make the infidel Western capitals, criminal America, and the tyrant traitors suffer what our people in Palestine are suffering...

This can only be achieved by striking against Jews and the countries that support them everywhere - especially against their economic interests, political intitutions and milit-ary strongholds.....

This is a duty that is incumbent upon our Muslim brothers in Palestine, and their fellow Mujahideen all over the globe."

Controversial Imam Can Speak In Holland

The controversial imam Khalid Yasin can give a number of speeches in the Netherlands over the next few days but will be prosecuted if he incites hatred, the NRC reports on Thursday.

The Paper says justice minister Ernst Hirsch Ballin (also known from the "IRT affaire") has told MPs that Yasin cannot be refused entry unless he is a danger to national security or public order. Yasin, a convert to Islam, was born in the US and does not need a visa.

In the past the imam has reportedly said homosexuals should be killed, that AIDS was invented by the west and deliberately injected into Africans under the guise of vaccinations, and that Muslims cannot have non-Muslim friends.

Hirsch Ballin told MPs that the Netherlands respects the right to freedom of speech as long as legal boundaries are observed, the paper said.

"The government can only intervene if there is incitement to hatred. If that is the case in this instance, or if prosecution would be opportune, depends on the judgment of the public prosecution department," the NRC quoted the minister as saying.

Silencing Islam's Critics

Dutch court imports Saudi rules:

According to the Wall Street Journal a Dutch court imports Saudi rules for the prosecution of parliamentarian Geert Wilders, in their publication on Thursday.

The concept of punishing people for insulting the religious feelings of other people approaches dangerously close to blasphemy laws as preferred by Islamic countries.

The commentator scorns the decision to prosecute Wilders, for "if freedom of speech means something , it also includes the freedom to have controversial opinions."

Islamic Cleric Advises Worshippers to RAPE AND BEAT WIVES

An Australian cleric has provoked outrage by telling worshippers it is acceptable for men to rape and beat their wives.
Self-styled cleric Samir Abu Hamza, who runs the Islamic Information and Services Network of Australasia in Melbourne, advised a male audience in Sydney in 2003 that they could force their wives to have sex and beat them if they were "disobedient"

In a lecture titled "The Keys to a Successful Marriage", which has since been posted on the internet and viewed thousands of times, Mr Hamza said men could beat their wives, "to shape them up", but should try not to draw blood or bruise them.

He also said women "must respond" if their husbands wanted to have sex, and ridiculed laws that prohibit rape within marriage.

"In this country if the husband wants to sleep with his wife and she does not want to and she hasn't got a sickness or whatever, there is nothing wrong with her she just does not feel like it, and he ends up sleeping with her by force...it is known to be as rape," Mr Hamza said.

"Amazing, how can a person rape his wife?" His comments have been condemned by Islamic women's groups and Kevin Rudd, the prime minister, has called for an immediate public apology.
"Under no circumstances is sexual violence permissible or acceptable in Australia," he said.

However, Mr Hamza, whose organisation offers spiritual advice, prayer facilities and boxing, karate and gym classes for Muslims, has refused to retract his statements.

In the sermon Mr. Hamza initially tells his listeners "don't hit your wife".

But he goes on to detail how men should hit their wives, according to his interpretation of Islamic teachings.

He says it is permissible to hit women as a "last resort" but that "the beating that Mohammed showed is like the toothbrush that you use to brush your teeth".

"You are not allowed to bruise them, you are not allowed to make them bleed."

"You don't go and grab a broomstick and say that is what Allah has said."

Ramzi Elsayed, Islamic Council of Victoria state president, said Islam did not condone violence against women or making a wife have sex with her husband against her will.

BANGLADESH: Pastor's Wife Gang-Raped, Home Robbed By Religion Of Peace Members

VENNABARI, Bangladesh - The pastor of a Baptist church in this village about a 100 kilometers (62 miles) south of Dhaka said that earlier this month local Muslims tied him and his wife up, robbed his living quarters on the church property and gang-raped his wife.

The Rev. Shankar Hazra, 55, of Chaksing Baptist church in Gopalganj district, said that before leaving, the assailants desecrated the church building.

The night of the attack, the pastor said, he and his wife, 45, went out to a toilet outside their home at about 2 a.m.
"Suddenly a man loomed up from the darkness and thrust the snout of a homemade rifle at my chest and told me to keep my mouth, otherwise both of us would be killed. Around seven to eight people swooped on us and tied me and my wife. They blindfolded my wife and took her inside the house."

While Rev. Hazra was tied to a pillar on the porch of his house of corrugated tin and wood, the assailants took the keys of chest and trunks and looted valuables: gold and silver jewelry worth US$500, cash totaling US$300, a mobile phone, television, CD players, all their clothes except his cassock, and utensils.

"They even looted my daughters' dresses. After looting everything, they gang-raped my wife."

The assailants also asked about the whereabouts of his two grown daughters, who had left the previous day after spending the Christmas and New Year holidays with their parents. Their daughters, ages 22 and 20, had returned to their studies in seperate districts.

"If my daughters had been present in the house at that night, they would have been victims as their mother was," Rev. Hazra said

After the assailants left, Rev. Hazra managed to untie himself and found his wife lying unconscious on the bed, he said.

"My neighbors came and rushed her to a nearby hospital, and that hospital referred my wife to another big hospital in Gopalganj district because her condition was very serious," he siad

The assailants also broke the door of the church building and urinated and defecated there, Rev. Hazra added.

Taliban Demands End To Music On Pakistan Buses

PESHAWAR, Pakistan (AP) - Bus drivers in northwest Pakistan have begun removing audio and video equipment from their vehicles after Taliban militants threatened suicide attacks against those who played music or movies for their passengers, an industry official said Tuesday.

Transport workers in Mardan town received letters this week from militants saying that buses offering such entertainment were guilty of spreading "vulgarity and obscenity", Walid Mir, general secretary of the town's transport union, told The Associated Press.

The militants said they would check the buses and that suicide attacks would be carried out against vehicles that still had audio and video equipment - prompting union members to act quickly, Mir said.
The Taliban letter complained that traveling in buses that provide audiovisual entertainment was a "source of mental agony for pious people," according to a text obtained by AP.

"It is obligatory on us to stop such violations. We request you to remove the vulgar systems...otherwise suicide bombers are ready," the letter said.

Mardan lies in the Northwest Frontier Province just outside Pakistan's volatile tribal belt where extremists among the Taliban, al-Qaeda and local groups are waging a violent campaign against authorities in a bid to impose their strict interpretation of Islam.

Elsewhere in northwest Pakistan, extremists have targeted girls'schools, police posts and other symbols of authority.

In Afghanistan, the Taliban regime that was forced from power in late 2001 banned art, secular music and television, vandalized the national museum and destroyed artwork or statues deemed idolatrous or anti-Muslim.

Local police said they had no knowledge of the threat.

"Certainly, we can look into it if we receive a complaint," Mardan police chief Syed Akhtar Ali Shah said.

Mir said the transport companies had no plans to make a report.

"W did not report it to police because it is a matter of human lives. What can the police do? It involves the lives of hundreds of passengers, and we do not want to put them in danger," Mir said.

Associated Press reporters Asif Shahzad and Christopher Bodeen contributed to this report from Islamabad.

Geert Wilders To Be Prosecuted

So long, free speech!


Amsterdam's Court of Appeal has ordered the prosecution of outspoken Dutch politician Geert Wilders for hate-speech, related to his anti-Islamic film, "Fitna".

In a decision posted on Wednesday, the court called on public prosecutors to begin a case against the right-wing politician over statements he made in interviews, in editorials and in his 15-minute film, released last March on the internet.

The court singled out Wilders for insulting comments like "Islam is a fascist ideology".

The court considers this so insulting for Muslims that it is in the public interest to prosecute Wilders", a summary of the court's decision said.

Commenting to Dutch media, Wilders called it a "black day for myself and for the Freedom of Speech."

Wilders' short film, which drew widespread condemnation and protests in Muslim countries, intersperses violent, graphic imagery - including from the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks in the United States and the beheading of a Caucasian man - with quotations from the Qur'an, Islam's holy book.

It ends with text saying Islam "seeks to destroy our Western civilization" and a caricature of Muhammad, his head drawn in the shape of a bomb that explodes into a crack of thunder and lighting.

The title, "Fitna", refers to a Qur'anic term for "strife".

Wednesday's decision overturns the one made by the Dutch public prosecutor's office last year. After a six-month investigation, the office had decided not to pursue a case against Wilders, saying his remarks did not amount to a punishable offence.

Obama Sworn In as 445h U.S. President.

Barack Obama took the oath of office today as the 44th president of the United States and pledged to "begin again the work of remaking America."

Adressing a huge throng estimated at more than 2 million people on the capital's Mall and millions of others watching on television, Obama recognized the multiple crises now afflicting the nation at a time of war abroad and economic turmoil at home. But he sought to rally Americans to a "new era of responsibility" and the promise of a brighter future.

He cited a profound 'sapping of confidence across our land -- a nagging fear that America's decline is inevitable, and that the next generation must lower its sights." The challenges are real, serious and many, and "they will not be met easily or in a short span of time," he said.

But know this, America -- they will be met. On this day, we gather because we have chosen hope over fear, unity of purpose over conflict and discord.

On this day, we come to proclaim an end to the petty grievances and false promises, the recriminations and worn out dogma's, that for far too long have strangled our politics."

Obama continued: "Starting today, we must pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and begin again the work of remaking America."

Marrying Bloodline Is Acceptable For Muslims...

Marrying bloodline is acceptable for Muslims, this is safe confirm scientists.

Happily for Muslims Professor Diane Paul, of the University of Massachusetts in Boston, and Professor Hamish Spencer of the University of Otago in Dunedin, New Zealand have slipped their heads above a rather difficult parapet to suggest that there is nothing wrong with marrying your cousin.

They declared that the risk of genetic defects in babies born from the unions of cousins is no greater than that in babies born to women over the age of 40.

Taliban Militants Destroyed Schools In Pakistan

Fresh attacks on Five Pakistan Schools by Taliban militants

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/7836875.stm

Taliban restrict women's education in Pakistan

Thousands of young women living in a part of Pakistan once considered the country's most idyllic tourist destination have been prevented from going to school after an order from Taliban forces which have seized control of much of the area.

Fearful of violent attacks that haave already seen the torching of over 180 schools in the Swat Valley, school administrators have announced that more than 900 private schools will remain closed until the security situation improves. Government officials, struggling to organise adequate protection, have appealed to schools to extend their winter holidays until at least March. The future education of around 125,000 young women is uncertain as a result of the order, said to come into effect on January 15.

In an echo of Afghanistan under the Taliban, the campaign against female education es the latest phase of brutal and swift advance across the valley led by local Taliban commander Maulana Fazlullah that has included the beheading of opponents, the closure of barber shops, political assassinations, kidnappings and the destruction of homes belonging to the wealthy.

Earlier this month, militants were believed to be behind attacks on the homes of the Wali of Swat, the benign autocrat who ruled the valley and who has now fled to Islamabad, and Hameedullah Khan, a reporter for the respected Dawn newspaper.

The Taliban have also introduced a parallel legal system where makeshift Sharia courts order lashes and death sentences for those seen to be violating their brand of Islamic law, said Shoukat Saleem, a lawyer.

"Yesterday there was a bombing of a school in Mingora, the main city," he added. "No one is giving any education. Girls preparing for their matriculation exams in March have had to abandon their education. Unless the government or the Taliban announce that the situation will be ok, no one will take the risk."

Shoukat Ali Yousafzai, the top civil administrator, said most of the schools were currently closed for winter holidays. "Once they are over, we will give security with the help of the army," he said.

But in a sign of worsening security in even Mingora, which until recently been beyond the reach of the Taliban, Mr Yousafzai said around 50 corpses had been discovered dumped this month. Some have been found beheaded, other carried a note warning readers not to remove the body before an appointed time.

Ziauddin Yousafzai, a spokesman for the Private Schools Management Association, said: "It will be very difficult to reopen the schools as long as there is no political solution of the problem. The Taliban are now the de facto rulers of Swat."

The Swat Valley in the North West Frontier Province (NWFP) was once widely known as the "Switzerland of Pakistan" and famed as a destination for honeymooners and other tourists. In the past months the area has increasingly fallen under militant control. Senior army officers claim their remit remains extensive - particularly during the day - but local people say that more than three-quarters of the valley is effectively outside of government control.

The military says the tactics of Taliban fighters have become increasingly brutal in recent months. The number of troops has been boosted in recent months to counter the militants. Maj General Athar Abbas, a senior army spokesman, said: "In Swat the militants have become very ruthless - there are executions and beheadings. This is the fear and terror they want to create on the part of the public," he said.

But Muslim Khan, a Taliban spokesman, said they would not allow any girls' schools to operate until the army withdrew from the valley and Sharia Law was imposed. He told the Associated Press: "These schools are being run under a system introduced by the British and promote obscenity and vulgarity in society."

"Moderate" muslim in British government turns out to be JIHADIST

Treasury official Azad Ali, president of the Civil Service Islamic Society, in his own words:

"If I found the same soldier over the border in Jordan I wouln't touch him. In Iraq he is a fighter and an occupier, here he is not. This is my religion and I respect this as the main instruction in my religion for Jihad."
Last week Mr. Ali wrote on the "Between the Lines" site: "We are the Resistance. The Zionist terrorist state of Israel had only one aim, to destroy all semblance of resistance. We have yet to hear any condemnation from our government."

He pours scorn on the British Government's call for a ceasefire and mocks official representatives of moderate British "Muslims" (his quotation marks) who support them and call them "self-serving vultures, feeding on the dead flesh of the Palestines".

In one posting, "Defeating extremism by promoting balance", he appears to condone the killing of british and US troops in Iraq. He said there was "much truth" in an interview with an Islamic militant who said: "If I saw an American or British man wearing a soldiers uniform inside Iraq I would kill him because that is my obligation."

"If I found the same soldier over the border in Jordan I wouldn't touch him. In Iraq he is a fighter and an occupier, here he is not. This is my religion and I respect this as the main instruction in my religion for Jihad."

Azad Ali is considered a high profile "moderate" Muslim who is trustee of the East London Mosque & London Muslim Centre, among many posts.

Jewish Man Stabbed For Wearing Star Of David

Paris: A Jewish man was stabbed four times in a paris suburb
in an anti-Semitic attack, officials said Friday,
as the Israeli offensive in Gaza continued to stoke tension in France.

The 24-year-old man was beaten up late Thursday by two robbers who wanted to steal his car and, after they discovered he was Jewish, pulled out a knife and stabbed him, in the latest in a spate of such attacks.

"After noticing he was wearing a Jewish religious symbol, the aggressors made anti-Semitic threats and stabbed him four times with a knife," the Interior Minister said in a statement.

The man suffered minor wounds from the attack in Fontenay-sous-Bois, southwest of Paris, according to the police sources.

The Interior Minister condemned the assault and vowed: "Everything will be done to arrest the perpetrators. All acts of racism and anti-Semitism ar contrary to the values of the republic."

Home to Europe's biggest Muslim and Jewish populations, France has recorded scores of anti-Semitic incidents since Israel launched its Gaza offensive late last month, drawing appeals for calm from politicians and religious leaders.

Three synagogues have been fire-bombed in the past two weeks and vandals have daubed anti-Israeli graffiti on at least two more.

Vandals wrote "Israel Nazi" and other graffiti overnight near a kosher restaurant in the southern city of Toulouse where a synagogue was attacked two weeks ago.

President Nicolas Sarkozy has vowed "zero tolerance" for hate violence and warned against attempts to import the Arab-Israeli conflict in Gaza.

But as reports of violence continue, the Jewish central Consistoire, the umbrella representative of religious institutions, called on France to take action to end anti-Semitic attacks, saying 66 incidents had been recorded over the past three weeks.

"Are we waiting for the irreparable to happen before we act?" asked the top Jewish body.

Muslim members of the Jewish-Muslim Frendship Association resigned on Friday after accusing their Jewish counterparts of remaining silent in the face of Israeli "war crimes" in Gaza, said co-president Djelloul Seddiki.

"All of the Muslim members left on Thursday," he said, confirming that those leaving included the head of the Paris Grand Mosque, Dalil Boubakeur.

"We aren't talking to each other anymore," confirmed rabbi Michel Serfaty.
But 15 other anti-racism organisations banded together and issued an appeal for French residents of all faiths to "live together" and to "oppose hate".

Ramming a car into the gates of a synagogue or attacking north Aftican students is not the way to help Palestinians or Israelis live together", the authors of the appeal said.

Around 600,000 Jews live in France.

Workers Feared Dead In Mecca Accident

Mecca: An iron scaffolding inside one of the minarets of the Grand Mosque in Mecca collapsed this week, killing or injuring 12 construction workers.

He said two workers were reportedly buried under the debris. "Until now we don't exactly know how many people have died or injured," he added.

Several accidents have been reported at construction sites in Mecca in recent years.

Christian Girls Drugged And Sold As Sex Slaves In Pakistan.

The Washington-DC based human rights group, International Christian Concern (ICC)

http://www.persecution.org/

has learned that two Christian girls in Pakistan have finally been rescued after two Muslim men kidnapped them two months ago, raped them repeatedly, forcibly converted them to Islam, and sold them to other men as sex slaves.

Sisters Parvisha, 18, and Sanam, 14 received a call in November 2008 from their neighbor, Muhammad Irfan, offering them training in cosmetology and jobs in his beauty salon. Parvisha, the oldest of seven children, convinced her father, Pastor Sharif Alam, to allow her to take the opportunity so that she could help support their struggling family. Irfan told the girls that he would come to pick them up since they did not know where his shop was.

Irfan picked the girls up with another man, Muhammed Mehboob, drove them away and drugged the drinks from the sisters. After drugging them heavily they found themselves locked in a small hotel room almost 500 miles away from home.
At night both men raped the girls.

The next day they drove the sisters to Mehboob's brother-in-law and in his house and they repeatedly raped both girls over several days.
After this nightmare the girls were taken to an Islamic religious school where they were forced to convert to Islam, and were given Muslim names.

Then they were taken to a local law office where they met two lawyers. Irfan and Mehboob told them the girls needed a government run shelter home for women, for embracing Islam.
Because they had no place to spend the night the "lawyers" took the girls to stay with their family.
They took the girls to their apartment and gave them a place to sleep. When the girls slept one of them was placed in another room where she was raped again. While she was crying and yelling for help Sanam woke up and ran into the room of Parvisha and saw both lawyers inserting electrical equipment into Parvisha's private parts.

While Sanam was looking for a weapon she could use to defend her sister, she saw a cell phone lying on the table, grabbed the phone and dialed the emergency mobile police number. Within no time the police arrived and arrested Kokab Sahab-Ul-Din. An FIR was registered against him. Parvisha was immediately taken to the hospital. Sanam called her father from the police station, informing him of the situation. The father rushed to Karachi to bring his daughters back home.

Pastor Alam then contacted a Christian legal group called CLAAS for help, the team visited the family at their home. While they were still talking to the victims and their family a large crowd of about 35 people gathered outside the house. They chanted for the pastor TO HAND THE NEW "CONVERTED" GIRLS over to the custody of local Muslim authorities.

The crowd quickly became hostile and started throwing bricks and stones at Pastor Alam's house. When Pastor Alam and a representative of CLAAS went out to talk to the crowd, someone SHOT at them but hit a bystander. Immediately, Pastor Alam called the local police, but not before the mob had seized Pastor Alam's son Sheraz and severly beat him. The police arrived as the angry mob was trying to break into Pastor Alam's house and dispersed the crowd, arresting three people responsible for the attack.

Since then, Pastor Alam has reported that his son in-law, Stiam Akram Khokhar, has been missing. He believes that the Irfan and Mehboob are responsible and are threatening him to back off the case.

On January 2, both girls gave official statements to the local Magistrate. They stated that they were abducted from their home, raped and then forcibly converted to Islam, and that they want to live and die as Christians and at no cost will leave their family.

Three Red Cross Personnel Kidnapped By Muslim Rebels Philippines

The group is notorious for kidnappings and is based on Jolo and the nearby island of Basilan.

Three Red Cross workers, including an Italian and a Swiss national, were kidnapped on Thursday by suspected Muslim rebels on a southern Philippine island, officials said.

Senator Richard Gordon, the head of the Philippine National Red Cross, told Reuters the three, who also included a filipino, were travelling to provincial jail on the island of Jolo when they were stopped and taken away by an armed group.

Marine officials on Jolo confirmed the incident.

The Abu Sayyaf, the smallest and deadliest of Muslim rebel groups operating in the Philippines were believed to be responsible, officials said.

The group is notorious for kidnappings and is based on Jolo and the nearby island of Basilan.

"I am appealing to the Abu Sayyaf to free those people, because they are neutral in any conflict," Gordon said. "They do not realise this but these people help them if they get wounded and get them out of the conflict areas."

he Abu Sayyaf has twice attacked luxury beach resorts and taken aeay tourists, including Westerners. They have held them for months at a time and secured large ransoms for their release.

In 2001, three kidnap victims, including an American, were beheaded by their captors.

The Abu Sayyaf has also been blamed for the bombing of a ferry near Manily Bay in 2004 that killed 100 people.

Osama bin Laden Calls For Jihad Against Israel

Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden has called for Jihad over the Israeli offensive in Gaza in a new 22-minute audio that appeared on Islamist websites on Wednesday, the US-based IntelCenter monitoring service reported.

The authenticity of the tape could not immediately be verified.

"God has bestowen us with the patience to continue the path of Jihad for another seven years, and seven and seven years," bin Laden said in the tape that was dated in the current Islamic month.

Bin Laden also condemns Arab governments for preventing their people from action to "liberate Palestine". The al-Qaeda chief also discussed outgoing US President George W Bush's administration and president-elect Barack Obama.

The tape was titled "A Call for Jihad to Stop the Aggression against Gaza". "The question is , can America continue its war with us for several more decades to come?

Reports and evidence would suggest otherwise," he said.

The Palestinian death toll from the 19-day-old Israeli offensive against the Islamist Hamas movement in Gaza has risen to about 1,000. Israel says 13 Israelis have been killed.

The Saudi-born terrorist said the global financial crisis had exposed the waning influence of the United States in world affairs and would in turn weaken its ally Israel.

More than 60 messages have been broadcast by bin Laden, his second-in-command Ayman al-Zawahri and their allies since the Sept. 11 attacks in 2001.

Last week Zawahri, in an Internet message, called on Muslims to strike Western and Israeli targets around the world over Israel's Gaza raids.

Danes Back Israeli Gaza After Experiencing Muslim Violence

Having experienced Muslim violence, Danes support Israel.

The surprising results from a survey in Denmark - which recently experienced widespread Muslim violence - revealed that more people in the Scandinavian country back Israel over the Palestinians in the Gaza war.

According to the poll commissioned by Danish television station TV2 on Tuesday, 29 percent of Danes back Israel's current war against the Gaza terrorist infrastructure. Only 22 percent oppose the offensive and sympathize with the Palestinians.

Thirty-eight percent said they blame both sides for the situation and sympathize with neither.

The picture in the rest of Scandinavia, and indeed most of Europe, has been far different with most politicians and media and much of the public focusing solely on Israels heavy use of force and accusing the Jewish state of overreacting to years of terrorist rocket fire.

Over the past three years, Denmark has experienced several large-scale violent Muslim riots after local newspapers repeatedly reprinted political cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed.

Danish embassies in the Middle East and Asia have also been burned in response to the cartoons.

"Girls over 10 or 12 years are eligible for marriage"

RIYADH: A senior-most cleric said girls as young as 10 years old can be married, local media reported on Wednesday.

The powerful Grand Mufti Abdul Aziz al-Sheikh said in a speech late on Monday that Islamic Sharia law allows the practice of pre-teen girls getting married, and that critics of the practice were doing the girls "an injustice", reports said.

"We hear often in the media about the marriage of minors. We must know that Sharia law is not unjust for women," the cleric is quoted as saying.

"If it is said that a woman below 15 cannot be married, that is wrong. If a girl exceeds 10 or 12 then she is eligible for marriage, and whoever thinks she is too young, then he or she is wrong and has don her an injustice."

His comment came in the wake of several well-publicized cases of young girls being married to men sometimes old enough to be their great-grandfathers.

On Monday a court in Taif allowed an 11-year-old girl to seperate from her 75-year-old husband after the girl's mother petitioned the court, according to a report in Okaz newspaper.
The girl's father had arranged the marriage in exchange for a dowry, it said.

In December a Saudi court at Unayzah rejected a plea to divorce an eight-year-old girl married off by her father to a man who is 58, saying the case should wait until the girl reaches puberty.

Saudi human rights groups are fighting the old practice of children being married off to much older men by their parents and seek to establish a legal minimum age for women to be married.

Prisoners convert to Islam for gang protection

Inmates at Long Lartin Prison said some were "becoming Muslim" because it is a "bigger gang".

In the same prison a radical cleric Abu Qatada (Osama's right-hand man in Europe) was held last year befor being released on bail - which he went on to breach.

Similar concerns were raised in an inspection report in to Whitemoor Prison in Cambridgeshire last year, in which prison officers warned extremist Muslim prisoners are ganging up on others in an attempt to radicalise them.
At Long Lartin, in Worcestershire, gang culture is widespread.

One inmate said: "Yes, there is a gang culture here which is becoming an issue. A lot of people are becoming Muslim just because it's a bigger gang."

Another said: "There are issues with Muslim gangs wanting to overpower others."

One added: "Muslim gangs; if you have a problem with one, you have a problem with them all," while a fourth said: "People are converting to Islam for protection."

Phil wheatley, director general of the National Offender Management Service, said: "The Governor and senior management team are committed to ensuring that all prisoners feel safe, and the strong personal officer scheme at Long Lartin continues to be developed to offer support to prisoners.

"A new programme to improve engagement, led by the Muslim Chaplain, will develop support specifically for Muslim prisoners."

Hamas raids aid trucks, sells supplies

Hamas raided about 100 aid trucks, that Israel had allowed into Gaza. Stole their contents and sold them to the highest bidders.

The terminal activity is coordinated with UNRWA and The Red Cross. After the army had ceased all military activity in Gaza, the Kerem Shalom crossings had been opened to allow in the aid trucks on Monday. Than Hamas opened fire upon the convoy of trucks carrying the supplies.
Similar incidents occurred with trucks carrying fuel.

Hamas operatives have seized control of any supplies passing through the crossings - including those sent by Israel and international organizations.
Reports say Hamas takes a cut out of all aid that arrives, including flour and medicine. Supplies intended to be distributed without gain among the population is seized by the group and sold to the residents, at a profit to the Hamas 'government'.

Labour Icon Aims for "Blooming Muslim Community" in Amsterdam West

The Hague, 13/01/09
Labour's (PvdA) integration icon Ahmed Marcouch is at the centre of controversy once again. This time, he has made a plea for making Amsterdam-West a "town in itself" where a "blooming Muslim community" should arise.

Marcouch, Moroccan and Muslim, is the leader of Slotervaart, one of the 14 district councils in Amsterdam. These districts, which also exist in Rotterdam, were introduced years ago following the example of the five New York boroughs.
A debate has been raging for some time over the future of the district councils.

In an internal letter to other district council leaders in Amsterdam-West, Marcouch has now described his ideas for a "town in itself," which could be created by merging their district councils to form "New West". A blooming Muslim community could arise with sufficient social capital. The Muslim minority would then become a positive point and "New West could focus on the integration of immigrants", Marcouch writes.

Last year, Marcouch became the centre of controversy when he proposed introducing education about Islam in all schools. Three members of the Slotervaart district council then resigned from the PvdA. And recently, newspaper De Telegraaf reported that in 2005, Marcouch wanted to bring the Muslim Brotherhood's chief ideologist, Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi, to the Netherlands to participate in a congress about Islam. The Amsterdam city council prevented this.

National PvdA leader Wouter Bos has consistently praised Marcouch as a Muslim who dares to express criticism of the Islamic community, but some, including Party For Freedom (PVV) leader and MP Geert Wilders, see him as a wolf in sheep's clothing. Wilders yesterday requested clarification from the cabinet about Marcouch's letter, terming "the Islamisation desire of Amsterdam politicians perilous."

Conservative (VVD) MP Paul de Krom said in free newspaper De Pers, which obtained Marcouch's letter, that administrators must not allow themselves to be influenced by their religion. "If Marcouch means to say that he wants to strengthen the Muslim community, or that he wants to create a specific Muslim district in Amsterdam, I would consider that very unfortunate."

PvdA MP Jeroen Dijsselbloem said he "does not understand" what exactly Marcouch wants. "Muslim communities form around mosques and not along district council borders."

Clyde Moerlie, one of the three Slotervaart district council members who resigned last year, said Marcouch's letter "fits into his thinking. I see little good in the one-sided Walhalla that Marcouch wants to set up. Perhaps a district council where public servants do not have to shake hands with women, with Islam lessons in public schools. We thought that we were members of a secular party at PvdA, but Marcouch sees it primarily as his duty as a good Muslim to propagate Islam."

Fifteen-Year-Old Suspected Of "Honor Killing" Against His Sister

A 15-year-old Israeli Arab Muslim from the city of Kalansawa has admitted to murdering his 20-year-old sister. The teen said he stabbed his sister on Monday morning in a so-called "honor killing" (a killing in which the victim is accused of tarnishing family honor by violating the tenets of Islam or flouting cultural norms)

The teen and his sister fought on Sunday night. The 15-year-old strongly objected to his sister's expressed wish to leave the home more often and purchase a cell phone.

The murder took place the next morning, as the sister slept in her bed. The parents, who were out of the house at the time, returned home to discover her body.

Police were called to the scene, and found the brother covered in blood "I murdered my sister," he told them. The youth was arrested. His remand was extended on Monday evening.

The murder is hardly the first of its kind to take place in Israel. Several young Israeli Muslim women have been murdered in recent years for allegedly dishonoring their families.

Police believe the previous victim was 16-year-old Dalia Abu-Ghanem, who was reported missing in December of last year. The teen was allegedly murdered for leaving her abusive husband. Eight other women belonging to the 2,000-member Abu-Ghanem clan have been murdered by their male relatives in the past decade.

Fury at Simpsons' Muslim Terror Plot

The Simpsons are about to spark an unholy war by accusing their Muslim neighbour of being a terrorist.

TV bosses are terrified that the popular cartoon family will become a hate target when the latest show pokes fun at Islam.

In the most controversial episode ever, daft Homer convinces pals the Middle Eastern family will blow them up. He even calls Allah "Oliver" and holy book the Quran "The Corona" in scenes certain to enrage Muslim fanatics.

The trouble starts after Homer's son Bart befriends a young boy called Bashir.

Halfwit Homer is already worried when bartender pal Moe tells him: "He's probably up to no good like the Middle Eastern guys on '24'."

In a reference to the cult US TV cop show, Moe adds: "Invite him round for dinner and then 'Jack Bauer' him to giving away their true secrets."

So Homer spies Amid unloading sticks of TNT and saying: "I love blowing up buildings."

He hacks into their computer and finds maps of the shopping mall so warns his pals of a terror attack.

But he has to apologise as it turns out Amid works in demolition and has been paid by the town to blow up the old mall.

A spokesman for the Islamic Cultural Centre & The London Central Mosque in London said: "I hope Muslims take no notice of this show."

But Simpsons creator Matt Groening , 54, defended the show, to air on Sky1 on Sunday at 7pm.

He said: "Cartoons deal in stereotypes. We try to be sensitive."

A Sky1 spokesman added: "At the end of the show, all the issues are resolved and Homer realises the error of his ways."

Madonna Targeted By Muslim Fanatics Over Israel-Gaza

EXCLUSIVE Superstar's fear as Jewish links make her a target over the Gaza war Islam fanatics vow to behead Madonna Ex-Israeli agents guard her 24hrs a day She warns Guy: Beef up kids' security.

Madonna has urgently beefed up her family's security after being targeted by Muslim fanatics seeking revenge for Israel's attack on Gaza.

One Palestinian terrorist chief has threatened to BEHEAD the superstar who is a dedicated member of the Jewish Kabbalah sect.

Madonna is also desperately worried for the safety of her children Lourdes, 12, Rocco, eight and adopted David Banda, three.

We can reveal the 50-year-old singer has now....

Got two ruthless Israeli former secret service agents to beef up her security.

Warned her ex-husband Guy Ritchie his home in busy central London is vulnerable to attack when he has the kids.

Told him to MOVE to a more secure pad where the children will be safe.

A source close to the singer said: "Madonna is well known for her Kabbalah faith and support for Israel, having visited the country for several times. This seems to upset extreme Muslims who forget she respects people of all faiths whether Islamic, Christian or Buddhist. Like anyone else she would like a peaceful end to the problems in Gaza.
But she is beside herself with worry, not just for her own safety but for that of the children."

On the notorious Islambase site, a Palestinian terror leader says: "If I meet these whores I will have the honor to be the first one to cut the head off Madonna if they will keep spreading their satanic culture against Islam."
The vile threat was made by Muhammad Abdel-Al, leader of the Popular Resistance Comittees - a fringe group of Palestinian militia who have launched thousands of rocket attacks on Israel.

Another misspelt rant on Islambase says: "What can be done to stop kuffars like Madonna supporting the killing in Gaza?"

On another site called "Ummah" a fanatic naming himself Hammed10 writes: "Madonna is a disgrace. She insults us with her slutty behaviour and then she insults us further with her love of the Jewish kuffar non-Muslims."
"Some brothers were talking about what to do about this the other day on another site. I don't want to say too much on here. But you can PM me send a private message."

German cops aids Jew-hating Muslim mob, removes flag of Israel from window.

Here is the posting from Muqata:

1:16 AM Received from Muqata Blog Reader in Germany, Sebastian M.

"Today, 10,000 people demonstrated against Israel here in my hometown Duisburg (Germany) and to express their solidarity with Hamas. So, my girlfriend and me put two Israel flags out of the windows of our flat in the 3rd floor. During the demonstration which went through our street the police broke into our flat and removed the flag of Israel. The statement of the police was to de-escalate the situation, because many youth demonstrators were on the brink of breaking into our apartment house. Before this they threw snowballs, knifes and stones against our windows and the complete building. We both were standing on the other side of the street and were shocked by seeing a police officer standing in our bedroom and opening the window to get the flag. The picture illustrate this situation. The police acquiesced in the demands of the mob."

Radio Station Target By Extremists For Playing Cliff Richard

A local radio station's website was hacked into by "extremists" because they played a song by Cliff Richard, the station's owner claims.

Radio Basingstoke was swapped for a message warning "the west" that they should not insult Islam.

Owner of the station Astrid Haigh-Smith told the Daily Mail she believes it was because Cliff Richard is on their playlist.

Haigh-Smith said: "I just thought maybe it was because we had commented that we hoped our troops would be safe over Christmas. We've also played the Cliff Richard version of "Hallelujah", but we would never dream of running down any religions."

The website was hacked into on Monday (Januari 5) and Wednesday (Januari 7) by extremists claiming to work on behalf of Ahmed al-Qahtani, who is suspected to have been involved in the attacks in the US on September 11, 2001

The hackers left a message saying: "Whoever thinks of insulting Islam or Muslims will suffer the same fate. We are the nightmare of western websites in the cyber war."

Haigh-Smith added: "I'm not going to change what songs we play. If we start doing things like that then the terrorists will have won."

Hamas adopted Sharia Criminal Code

It was lost amid the news of Israel's counterattack on Hamas in the past few days, but Hamas' leadership passed several new laws for Gaza in December.

They've adopted the Sharia criminal code, which legalize a number of medieval punishments including cutting off of hands, stoning, lashing and crucifixion.

Possession of wine will now get you 40 lashes in Gaza City. Thus does Hamas express its solidarity with its patron and inspiration, the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Five Months Old Foetus Removed "To Protect Family Honor"

GHAZNI, Jan 6: An Afghan teenager is in serious condition after her mother and brother allegedly sliced open her belly to remove a five-month-old foetus from a rape, officials said on Tuesday.

The girl's relatives, who are farmers, had apparently decided to remove the unborn child to protect the family honour, a governor told AFP, with rape and pregnancy outside of marriage a disgrace in the conservative society.

She had not told her family she was pregnant, said Habiba Sarabi, governor of Bamiyan.

"When the family realised two days ago that she was pregnant, the mother and brother tied up her hands and legs and took her to a stable where they sliced open her belly with a blade and took the foetus away", she said.
