I think they might find any potential recruits here a little too extreme for them...

So this week the religion of peace sent a warrior to attack the godless heathens of Sweden who have been so brutal and vicious in attacking and oppressing Muslim peoples of the middle east. Everyone knows how cruel Sweden has been to the world's Muslims and caused all manner of upheaval with their constant military aggression, so the least the world's Muslims could do was ram a truck into a bunch of them to teach them a lesson.

Someone noted that Japan doesn't have to worry about such things because it doesn't use military aggression against the Arab world. I would counter by suggesting it was because unlike Sweden, Japan doesn't let Muslims in without a very, very good reason.

Apparently there was a home made bomb in the truck. 

In other news, a mosque in Birmingham held an open to all tea party in response to an EDL rally.

So? EDL is not the BNP.

True.  If they were, they would be called the BNP, and not the EDL.  Good catch!

This week in Islam devoted Muslims signified their peaceful nature and the respect they hold for those who worship in other ways by bombing churches and murdering priests and worshipers on Palm Sunday.

What's Palm Sunday w/o a few beheadings and bombings of Christians by Muslims? Bring the kids.

In spring of 1981, Sheikh Omar Abdel-Rahman agreed to become the mufti of the shura (council) of underground Egyptian group Tanzim al-Jihad, the forerunner of Egyptian Islamic Jihad and al-Gama'a al-Islamiyya. He issued a fatwa sanctioning "the robbery and killing of Copts in furtherance of the jihad".

A man trying to impose what he calls "the civil part of the sharia law" in the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood of Minneapolis has sparked anger among local residents and Muslim leaders.

Abdullah Rashid, 22, a Georgia native who moved to Cedar-Riverside last year, has been making the rounds in the Somali-dominated neighborhood, telling people not to drink, use drugs or interact with the opposite sex. If he sees Muslim women he believes are dressed inappropriately, he approaches them and suggests they should wear a jilbab, a long, flowing garment. And he says he's recruiting others to join the effort.

 

Quote

 

In a recent interview, Rashid said he aims to turn Cedar-Riverside into a "sharia-controlled zone" where Muslims are learning about the proper practices of Islam and that "non-Muslims are asked to respect" it.

"People who don't know me would say I'm a terrorist," he said. "I'm someone who's dedicated to Islam and trying to help the community all ways I can."

But the Islamic Institute of Minnesota issued a statement Wednesday saying Rashid "does not in any way speak for the Islamic Institute of Minnesota or the Muslims in Minnesota."

"We consider this matter as a dangerous precedent and a threat in our country and our way of life," the statement said. "We ask our law enforcement agencies to consider this grave matter to protect Minnesotans."

 

 

Quote

 

Rashid, who initially said he was working with Minneapolis police, said he is continuing his effort to provide security and protect Muslims' civil rights. He said he has enlisted a group of 10 men, ages 18 and 25, to help him patrol the area.

Meanwhile some in the community are confused about what Rashid is doing.

Salma Mohamed, a mother of four, met with him recently at Brian Coyle Community Center, seeking advice on a custody case. A friend had referred her to Rashid, unaware of his controversial activities. She was startled by his uniform, she said, and his talk about terrorism and the young Muslim men who were convicted of trying to join ISIS.

"I was expecting the guy was a lawyer," Mohamed said. "He just brought up things that weren't even on the discussion table."

On his website, Rashid posted a video titled "Never Trust Non-Muslims" by Anwar al-Awlaki, leader of an Al-Qaida affiliate in Yemen, who was killed in a U.S. drone strike in 2011. And he had initially listed the Masjid Shaafici Cultural Center in Cedar-Riverside address as his organization's headquarters.

But the imam of that mosque, Abdighani Ali, said it has nothing to do with Rashid's group. Ali said he plans to file a complaint with police.

This is exactly the kind of thing that concerns Canadians about Muslim immigration.  It is just a matter of time before this kind of thing starts in Canada, if it already hasn't. 

If there is not already laws to prevent people from imposing Sharia law on other people, there should be.  Instead of M103, they should work on a law to prevent this from happening in Canada.  Maybe we should let some of the Conservative candidates know about this.  They could come up with a campaign promise to deal with it.

There was this in the news too

Important to note from the article that she did not perform these FGMs in the hospital which employed her.

I hope they throw her in jail.

Me too, for a very long time.  I think it's really important to send a very loud, very public message here.

I was just reading about an area in France where this FGM situation was out of control and so the authorities began conducting random checks on young Muslim girls.  I'm sure this violates the parent's "rights" to mutilate their daughters, but I don't think the French give a rat's patootie about their "rights".

It's the same in the UK.  There's been a law on the books for years, but I don't think there's been a single conviction.  Perhaps the French have more balls than the British.  (You have no idea how much it hurts to say that)

That said, FGM is more a barbaric cultural practice than it is a barbaric religious practice.  Is there any confirmation the doctor was a Muslim?  Given the Thread title, and all that.

Actually, you're right, that's not noted.

In the picture, she's wearing a hijab.  And in the affidavit from the article on Page 8 it just states "members of a particular religious and cultural community" are engaging in this "as part of their religious and cultural practice".

I guess we'll never know.

The adults who allowed it should also be thrown in jail.

This week in Islam the Islamists in Turkey moved closer to the typical autocratic dictatorship common in the Islamic world, voting to make Erdogan absolute dictator and dissolve parliament. Interestingly, a poll in Germany found 60% support among Turkish-German voters, who were allowed to cast a ballot. This demonstrates that even when there is a free press, as is not the case in Turkey, many Turks longed for dictatorship.

Meanwhile, in Indonesia, another nation where Islamism is on the rise, a Christian governor was defeated by his Islamist opponent. Islamists had said he had no business being a governor because the Koran clearly states only Muslims can be in charge. When he disagreed with that interpretation he was arrested and charged with blasphemy.

And all white people are perfect and therefore suited to start 1000 threads about other groups to be viewed as the truth by all readers.

Still, at least steps are being taken towards equal representation in the blasphemy killing areas of society.

Nobody has ever suggested all white people are perfect. In fact, the only people who ever talk about race, aside from one individual, are the people who are on the hard left of most political issues. And if Pakistan, the subject of the cite above, weren't among our top source countries for immigrants, or at least if we bothered to screen who comes here from there it wouldn't concern me an so many others. But the Left adores foreign cultures as much as they hate ours.

As for starting 1000 threads. At least I base them on reality, and not the lunatic ravings of the psychologically damaged, like most of the threads you guys seem to love these days. Hey, how about another one about the evil Americans and the vile west causing genocide all over the world? Maybe another on the glories of Turkey?

It's the only argument there is when a man is killed for a blasphemous statement issued more than a decade earlier. Unless one actually wants to admit that there is something seriously ****** up with that religion, country and culture.  And we can't have that.

So, white people!
