Christian Murdered for Drinking Tea from a Muslim Cup

WASHINGTON, June 12 /Christian Newswire/ -- International Christian Concern (www.persecution.org) has learned that radical Muslims running a tea stall beat a Christian man to death for using a cup designated for Muslims on May 9. The young man, Ishtiaq Masih, had ordered tea at a roadside stall in Machharkay village, Punjab, Pakistan, after his bus made a rest stop.

When Ishtiaq went to pay for his tea, the owner noticed that he was wearing a necklace with a cross and grabbed him, calling for his employees to bring anything available to beat him for violating a sign posted on the stall warning non-Muslims to declare their religion before being served. Ishtiaq had not noticed the warning sign before ordering his tea.

The owner and 14 of his employees beat Ishtiaq with stones, iron rods and clubs, and stabbed him multiple times with kitchen knives as Ishtiaq pleaded for mercy.

The other bus passengers and other passers-by finally intervened and took Ishtiaq to the Rural Health Center in the village. The doctor who took Ishtiaq's case told ICC that Ishtiaq had died due to excessive internal and external bleeding, a fractured skull, and brain injuries.

Makah Tea Stall is located on the Sukheki-Lahore highway and is owned by Mubarak Ali, a 42-year-old radical Muslim. ICC's correspondent visited the tea stall and observed that a large red warning sign with a death's head symbol was posted which read, "All non-Muslims should introduce their faith prior to ordering tea. This tea stall serves Muslims only." The warning also threatened anyone who violated the rule with "dire consequences."

A neighboring shopkeeper told ICC on condition of anonymity that all Ali's employees are former students of radical Muslim madrassas (seminaries).

Ishtiaq's family said that they immediately reported the incident to the police and filed a case against Ali. However, the murderers are still freely operating the tea stall.

When ICC asked the Pindi Bhatian Saddar police station about the murder, the police chief said that investigations were underway and they are treating it as a faith-based murder by biased Muslims. When asked about Ali's warning sign, police chief Muhammad Iftikhar Bajwa claimed that he could not take it down. However, the constitution of Pakistan explicitly prohibits such discrimination.

Still think we have no reason to fear muslims? They will attack anyone for the slightest infraction.

Killed, a 'Brummie' Taliban fighter with an Aston Villa tattoo

Allied troops fighting in Afghanistan have long suspected that their Taliban opponents include British-born Muslims.

Thick Midlands and Mancunian accents have been picked up from enemy radio signals in the war zone.

But now there is fresh evidence that some of the Taliban were raised in the UK with the revelation that one fighter killed in a battle had an Aston Villa football club tattoo on his body.

A military source said: 'It was a shock to hear that the guys we were fighting against supported the same football clubs as us, and maybe even grew up on the same streets as us.'

The source said the body of the unidentified Muslim insurgent was found with the AVFC tattoo following clashes with the Nato-led International Security Assistance Forces.

The discovery adds to fears the Taliban is successfully recruiting hundreds of radicalised British nationals to fight against the country of their birth.

Tory MP Patrick Mercer, a former infantry commander, said the presence of a tattoo of an English football club suggests the insurgent had at one point been a well-integrated member of UK society who identified with his home culture, but was radicalised nevertheless.

Allied spy planes have previously picked up Birmingham and Manchester accents among Taliban radio chatter, while in April it emerged that a Briton had been identified as a Taliban bombmaker after his fingerprints were found on an unexploded roadside device in Helmand.

Wake up America, this is happening on our own soil. We need to be monitoring all mosques, communittee centers and islamic schools.

Obama's Muslim adviser calls "the Turkish Khomeini" an "inspiration"

Many believe that Gülen wants to bring Sharia back to Turkey: "Turkey’s National Security Council condemned in 1998 for 'trying to undermine the country’s secular institutions, concealing his methods behind a democratic and moderate image.' For this reason he has been living in voluntary exile in the United States since he was sentenced in absentia."

Does Dalia Mogahed not know or care about efforts to bring Sharia to Turkey -- or does she find such efforts to be an "inspiration"?

Dalia Mogahed, appointed by US President Barack Obama and the first Muslim woman to be a member of the White House Advisory Council on Faith-based and Neighborhood Partnerships, has said the Gülen movement, a faith-based social movement named after Turkish Islamic scholar Fethullah Gülen, is a model and inspiration for all those working for the good of the society....

“I think the Gülen movement offers people a model of what is possible if a dedicated group of people work together for the good of the society. I also think that it is an inspiration for other people and Muslims for what they can accomplish,” Mogahed said, commending the movement. She noted that “this initiative has a lot to teach to other people and Muslims, but it needs to broaden its membership profile.” She then elaborated on her advice to the movement. “It has moved beyond Turkey in its very benevolent projects and it serves people from all around the world of all backgrounds, but it is still made up mostly of Turks. That is what I feel is in need of expanding,” she said.

When reminded that some speculate the movement has a hidden agenda, Mogahed told Sunday's Zaman that she usually does not attach any importance to such allegations put forward without evidence. “And I have not seen any evidence so far,” she said....

Obama wants Turkey to be allowed to join the EU. That is just what they need more muslims in Europe.

Taliban dupe 12 year-old boy into planting bomb

"As he walked away, the bag exploded, throwing him to the ground with a shattered foot and leaving shoppers dead and wounded all around him." Tragic, but a better fate than the 11 year-old Christian boy shot in the head by the Taliban. "Taliban dupe boy, 12, into planting bomb," by Christina Lamb for Times Online, June 14:

On his face is an angelic smile, in his pocket a blood-stained 50-rupee note. Ishaq Khan, a 12-year-old schoolboy, was given the money – equivalent to just 40p – to carry a bag to a spot in a busy bazaar in Kohat, a town in the North West Frontier Province of Pakistan.

As he walked away, the bag exploded, throwing him to the ground with a shattered foot and leaving shoppers dead and wounded all around him.

In a macabre new tactic, Taliban militants have begun paying children to plant lethal bombs in Pakistani cities.[...]

The Kohat bombing was one of a succession of deadly attacks since the Pakistan military launched an offensive against the Taliban in the Swat Valley region. The Taliban has vowed to carry out bombings in Pakistani cities in retaliation. There have been at least 16 attacks since the operation started in late April and more than 100 people have been killed.

Most of the attacks have been in Lahore and Peshawar. The latter city’s only big hotel, the Pearl Continental, was blown up on Tuesday. Militants fired on the hotel guards, drove a lorry laden with half a ton of explosives up to the buildings and detonated it, killing 18 people, including two United Nations officials.

They can use women and children as human shields, and now as bomb planters, but when one of them is killed by the US or Israel, we are the bad guys. These people have no values at all.

President of "Arab Republic" says Netanyahu's call for recognition of "Jewish state" torpedoes chances for peace

CAIRO - Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak said on Monday that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s call for the Palestinians to recognise Israel as a Jewish state torpedoed the chance for peace.

“The call to recognise Israel as a Jewish state complicates things further and scuppers th [sic] this appeal in Egypt or elsewhere.”

It is really simple. Stop firing rockets and mortars into Israel.

UK: Muslim cocktail waitress awarded $4,700 for being made to wear "indecent" dress

What was a pious Muslim doing working as a cocktail waitress, anyway? And what did she expect to wear inside a bar -- a burqa? Not coincidentally, she dresses more "indecently" than she was asked to in the bar on her Facebook page -- indicating that this was all about intimidating the dhimmis, and of course, it worked. Absurd Brittania Alert: "Muslim cocktail waitress gets £3,000 for sexual harassment after bar ordered her to wear 'indecent' dress," from the Daily Mail, June 15

A Muslim cocktail waitress who quit after refusing to wear a bright red dress for work has won almost £3,000 in compensation for sexual harassment.

Fata Lemes, 33, was handed the payout even though a tribunal rejected her claim that the dress was 'sexually revealing and indecent'.

It concluded the Bosnian Muslim 'holds views about modesty and decency which some might think unusual in Britain in the 21st century'.

But it accepted that Miss Lemes genuinely believed that the short, low-cut dress was 'disgusting' and made her look 'like a prostitute'.

Bosses at the Rocket bar in London's Mayfair should have made allowance for her feelings and their insistence that she wear the dress amounted to sexual harassment, the tribunal ruled.

The panel at Central London Employment Tribunal found that Miss Lemes overstated her trauma at being asked to wear the sleeveless dress that was open at the back.

It also rejected Miss Lemes' claim that she was left with no choice but to walk out of her job after just eight days.

It branded her compensation claim of £20,000 including £17,500 for hurt feelings as 'manifestly absurd'.

But it awarded her £2,919.95 for hurt feelings and loss of earnings.

Miss Lemes told the tribunal that she 'might as well be naked' in the dress, adding: 'I was brought up a Muslim and am not used to wearing sexually attractive clothes.'

A photo of Miss Lemes on Facebook, however, shows her wearing a low cut T-shirt revealing her cleavage....

Miss Lemes' lawyer Joe Sykes asked the restaurant's general manager Danila Bodei: 'The reason for choosing the colour red was to indicate that the waitresses were sexually available, wasn't it?'

She replied: 'No, it was just the colour to match the bar.'

This is happening here in Phoenix with a muslim male. He knew he had to be clean shaven, grew beard anyway. The Sherrif fired him and he is suing.
