WINGEING MIGRANTS GIVEN BIGGER HOUSES

SIX moaning asylum seekers have landed bigger council houses after winning a legal battle with taxpayers’ cash.

The Somalians were given free homes shortly after they arrived in Britain.But they soon complained the accommodation was too small after their families arrived from abroad.One refugee was in a two-bed flat, but a year later was joined here by his wife and six children. Another was also joined by his wife and six children before she gave birth to another child. They took their demands to court – using legal aid cash – after Birmingham council said it had no accommodation left.But yesterday it was revealed they been moved into bigger houses after winning the action. One got a five-bedroom mansion, four got four-bedroom homes and another received a three-bedroom house.Birmingham councillor Malcolm Davis slammed the decision as “unbelievable”.He said: “A two-bedroom flat for one person is over the top already when there is such a chronic shortage. It would appear that the fact they are asylum seekers has helped them qualify for legal aid.”None of the asylum seekers is bel-ieved to be working and all were said to be living off welfare benefits. Migrationwatch chief Sir Andrew Green said: “This may all be perfectly legal but it leaves the long-standing residents of Birmingham aghast at the manipulation of the system.”The council plans to appeal against the ruling at the House of Lords next year.

Spencer: Muslims in the U.S. convicted of jihad, Muslim leaders furious -- at the government

The Fort Dix jihad plotters are guilty, and Muslim spokesmen in America are outraged – not at the plotters who have ostensibly "hijacked" their religion, but at the officials who secured the convictions.
They wanted to burst into Fort Dix and murder as many American soldiers as they could, but it was all a joke, you see: so said Mohamed Younes, president of the American Muslim Union. "I don’t think they actually mean to do anything," he asserted. "I think they were acting stupid, like they thought the whole thing was a joke. They don’t look like the type of people to do something like this."
Unfortunately, Associated Press reporter Wayne Parry doesn’t seem to have followed this up by asking Younes exactly what "the type of people to do something like this" actually do look like. It might have been interesting to see a Muslim leader in the United States engage in what could be regarded as "racial profiling," but it would, of course, have been far too politically incorrect for AP to print.

Georgia: Police to get sensitivity training after arrest of headscarf wearer

Victorious

Originally AP reported that "Valentine violated a court policy that prohibits people from wearing any headgear in court, police said after they arrested her Tuesday." Now, apparently, that policy is out the window, and court officials are in full retreat before the specter of being accused of "racism" and "bigotry."

DOUGLASVILLE, Georgia (CNN) -- The Douglasville Police Department said Monday its officers will undergo "sensitivity and cultural diversity training" after a Muslim woman who refused to remove her head scarf at a courthouse was jailed. Lisa Valentine has been shaken "to her core" by her arrest last week, her lawyer says.
"We never want this to happen again. It's not our intent to embarrass anybody," Police Chief Joe Whisenant said at a news conference.
The judge who had the woman jailed briefly for contempt of court will also take part in the training, Whisenant said.
The incident took place December 16 when Lisa Valentine, who also goes by her Muslim name, Miedah, accompanied her nephew to a hearing at Douglasville's municipal courthouse. The scarf, called a hijab, covered her hair but not her face. It is part of her religious belief that her hair should be covered in public, as a form of modesty.
In an interview with CNN's Rusty Dornin, Valentine said a bailiff told her she could not enter with her head scarf.
"I didn't pose a threat to anybody," Valentine said. "So I got really angry. I told her that was discrimination, and I said it was b.s. -- and I used the full term of the word."
She tried to leave, but the bailiff demanded that she appear before the judge, and pulled on her arm, Valentine said.
"I was right near the door. I said, 'Don't touch me.' And so she got in front of me," Valentine said. "... She called for a guard or a police officer. He came and then he just was near me, and was like, 'You're going to do what you're told to do.'
"And then he grabbed my arm, and of course instinctively I pulled it away. So he's like grabbing me and bending my arm, like you see people who are resisting arrest, and trying to get really physical with me. ... Then I said, 'OK, OK,' and I let them put the handcuffs on me."
Valentine said she would have had no problem with allowing a female officer to check under her head scarf to make sure she did not pose any danger.
Valentine said that when she told the judge what had happened, he sentenced her to 10 days in jail for contempt of court.
At the jail down the street, Valentine had to change into a jumpsuit. Her mug shot was taken -- without her head scarf.
She was let out of jail later that day. Her attorney, M. Khurram Baig, said he does not know why she was released so quickly.
"It's been devastating for her," Baig said. "We're talking about a major life-altering event for somebody to realize that everything they thought they knew about our justice system may not actually be the case. So she's been shook to her core."
Douglasville authorities describe the day's events somewhat differently.
In a news release, police said Valentine repeatedly used the expletive, told the bailiff that the judge was "racist," pointed her finger toward the officer, and "became loud enough that she attracted the attention of another officer."
The news release said an officer did tell Valentine she could not leave, "and placed her hand on Mrs. Valentine's wrist."
"Mrs. Valentine resisted the officer's efforts by stiffening her arm, but did not physically fight with the officer," the release said.
When Judge Keith Rollins was told of the incident, the news release said, he ordered her jailed for 10 days....
When word of the incident spread, groups across the country weighed in on Valentine's behalf, including the Council on American-Islamic Relations, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the Anti-Defamation League and the American Civil Liberties Union.
On Friday, about 50 people demonstrated outside the courthouse. Speakers called Valentine's treatment a violation of the Constitution and called for Rollins to step down....
