UK: School stops serving halal meat (which it had served to all students)

Anti-dhimmitude: everyone, mind you, had to eat halal meat. That was why some parents complained. But contrary to this Croydon Today headline, Islamic dietary laws have nothing to do with race. "Halal meat taken off school menu after race row."

Old Palace School is no longer serving Halal meat on its school menu after parents complained.

The Whitgift Foundation's John Whitgift Schools committee took the decision after some parents were furious pupils were not being given a choice....

The menu was changed in November after the Advertiser revealed some parents had no idea the policy had been in force at Old Palace for up to 10 years.

Parents furious about the Halal policy were from the recently amalgamated Croham Hurst School and were labelled "racist bigots" by Old Palace spokeswoman Lucy Mazzeo....

Victory for the good guys. The karirs finally stood up for themselves. Congratulations.

'Mother' of Iraqi Female Suicide Bomber Ring Arrested

Is it me? Or are all muslim women butt ugly?

BAGHDAD — A woman accused of helping recruit dozens of female suicide bombers looked into the camera and described the process: trolling society for likely candidates and then patiently converting the women from troubled souls into deadly attackers.

The accounts, in a video released Tuesday by Iraq police, offer a rare glimpse into the networks used to find and train the women bombers who have become one of the insurgents' most effective weapons as they struggle under increasing crackdowns.

In the separate prison interview with The Associated Press — with interrogators nearby — the woman said she helped plan the rapes of young women and then step in to persuade the victims to become suicide bombers as their only escape from the shame.

The U.S. and Iraqi militaries have made past claims about efforts by insurgents to recruit vulnerable women and children as attackers while providing little evidence, including statements that two women who blew themselves up last year in Baghdad had Down's Syndrome that later proved to be exaggerated.

But the suspect, 50-year-old Samira Ahmed Jassim — who said her codename was "The Mother of Believers" — has given unusual firsthand descriptions of the possible workings behind last year's spike in attacks by women bombers.

Iraqi military spokesman, Maj. Gen. Qassim al-Moussawi, said the suspect had recruited more than 80 women willing to carry out attacks and had admitted masterminding 28 bombings in different areas.

I just love muslims. They are such loving human beings. They rape young girls to make them feel shame and then suggest the solution, become suicide bombers.

Hamas prepared for 1-year truce with open borders

CAIRO (AP) — Hamas officials said Tuesday they are ready to commit to a cease-fire with Israel for at least a year in exchange for a full opening of Gaza's borders, as the group began a new round of truce talks with Egyptian mediators.

Why would Israel want this? I love how muslims like the word truce and then violate it anytime they want.

At the same time, foreign ministers of pro-U.S. Arab nations, including Saudi Arabia, met in the United Arab Emirates in a show of unity in support for Egypt's efforts to forge a long-term truce and against Iran, Hamas' most important ally.

Egypt is trying to mediate a durable cease-fire in place of the temporary and increasingly wobbly truce that ended the Gaza war last month. It has set a Thursday deadline for the Islamic militant rulers of Gaza to accept a deal.

"There is an agreement in principle about a calm for one year," said Ahmed Abdel-Hadi, a Lebanon-based Hamas official. "But the movement could show flexibility regarding the time ... if there are guarantees and commitments to lift the sanctions and open the borders," he told Gaza's Al Quds Radio, signaling the possibility of extending the truce beyond one year.

Fawzi Barhoum, a Hamas spokesman in Gaza, said the Palestinian group is open to extending the cease-fire for 18 months.

Abdel-Hadi said Hamas rejects a gradual opening of the border crossings or linking a truce deal to a release of Israeli soldier Sgt. Gilad Schalit, held by Hamas-allied militants in Gaza since June 2006.

"We are going to deal with all the issues as one package, because we are going to avoid the trap of gradual implementation," he said.

Hamas demands that any truce include the opening of borders into Gaza, which Israel and Egypt have largely kept sealed since the group seized control of the territory from the rival Fatah faction in 2007.

Hamas also wants a role in administering the border crossings in recognition of its power in Gaza.

They launch rockets into Israel daily and they are still holding a Jew hostage and they are making demands? We all know that soldier is dead. Just like the ones that were captured in Lebanon. NO DEALS WITH HAMAS OR ANY MUSLIMS!!!

'Toddler was victim of Satanism'

The foster mother of a three-year-old boy whose death is being probed at an inquest at the Wynberg magistrate's court, believes that her charge was the victim of Satanic attacks and enlisted the help of an imam (Muslim cleric) to pray for the boy.

The imam told the court that while he had often heard about witchcraft, he disassociated himself from it. The boy and his sister, who are both white, were taken in by the Muslim family from Athlone in 2001. A year later he died.

The family, who claimed that the boy had died after knocking his head, buried him hours later in accordance with their religious beliefs.

On Monday the imam testified that the child's foster mother had told him that she believed the child was prone to developing bruises on his cheek during the middle of the month."

She said that his biological mother, who was a Satanist, was troubling her for money and she (the foster mother) said she wanted me to pray for the child who she believed was the victim of some witchcraft."

The court heard that the woman believed the child was being hurt by "something that flew across the room" which would bruise his face during the middle of the month.

The imam told the court that the phenomenon of witchcraft was not uncommon.The imam, who has more than 30 years experience as a religious leader, said he had visited the family at the foster mother's request.

When he visited near the end of the month, the child had had no marks but he had performed prayers and left Qur'anic scripts invoking God's protection on the boy, the court heard.

The cult of islam is a truely backwards ideology. They are superstitious and ignorant.

Schoolgirl divorcee, 10, launches book about shocking child bride ordeal

Now here is something that you do not see in the West.

A schoolgirl who was married by the age of eight today launched a new book about her extraordinary ordeal.
Nojoud Ali, now aged 10, is in Paris promoting an autobiography which is set to be a worldwide bestseller.

British publishers are already queuing up for the rights to a story which has been taken up by women’s rights groups worldwide.

Last year a court in Yemen annulled Nojoud’s arranged marriage to a 29-year-old man.

The minimum age for marriage is currently 15 years-old in the country, but parents are allowed to overrule the law if they judge that their daughter is ‘ready’ for marriage.

Noujoud’s strict Muslim family had decided she was, forcing her to go and live with Faez Ali Thameur.

The pair did consummate the marriage, it is claimed.

Sure, don't believe that for one minute. She was raped. Old Mo raped Ayisha at NINE.

Yemen, one of the poorest countries in the world, is notorious for its child brides.
Noujoud’s unemployed father, Mohammad Ali Al-Ahdal, told the court he felt obliged to marry off his daughter after receiving repeated threats from the would-be husband and his entourage.
He said was frightened because his oldest daughter had been kidnapped several years earlier and had been forced to marry her abductor.

Noujoud said she was also regularly beaten by her husband. Shatha Nasser, Noujoud’s lawyer, said: ‘Child brides are common in parts of Yemen, but this case received wider attention because it reached court.’

Now Nojoud and her eight year-old sister Hifa are able to go to school thanks to financial donations from human rights activists.

Her case was also taken up by politicians including Hillary Clinton, Condoleezza Rice and the actress Nicole Kidman.

Visiting Pantin, a suburb of Paris yesterday, Nojoud said: ‘Now I want to return to school so as to become a lawyer and help other girls like me.’

‘Me, Nojoud, 10, divorcee’ is published by Michel Lafon.

Judge orders woman in court case to remove niqab

Though he found it to be an "admittedly difficult decision." Question: If this woman wants to wear the niqab, in accordance to sharia law, would she, a sexual assault victim, also want to apply sharia law's standards regarding female-male testimonies? She's one woman; the accused are two men. According to sharia, then, her testimony, which, as a woman, is worth half that of a man, is being countered by two men; in other words, one witness (the woman) vs. four (the two accused men -- assuming they are men). One wonders if she would like this Islamic aspect to also be introduced into the trial?

Woman to appeal ruling forcing her to unveil face in sexual assault trial.

A judge has ordered a Toronto woman to testify without her niqab at a sexual assault trial – raising the thorny issue of whether Muslim women should be allowed to appear as witnesses wearing a veil that covers everything but the eyes.

The issue is a collision of two rights, pitting religious freedom against the right of a defendant to face an accuser in open court.

The case could be precedent setting because it doesn't appear there is any Canadian case law addressing the question of Muslim women in the courtroom. In Canada, home to about 580,000 Muslims, the case will be closely watched, amid fears about Muslim women coming forward in criminal cases.

In October, Ontario Court Justice Norris Weisman reached his "admittedly difficult decision" to force the complainant to testify with her face bared after finding her "religious belief is not that strong ... and that it is, as she says, a matter of comfort," he wrote in his ruling.

Lawyer David Butt is representing the woman and next month in Superior Court will argue that the Oct. 16 ruling should be overturned.
