British High Court Worries More About Safety of Muslim Criminal than the British People

Chalk up another ludicrous ruling by Britain's High Court into the "you couldn't make this up" category.

Just yesterday The Royal Courts of Justice ruled that :

"A judge ruled that the 'undesirable' immigrant, who 'embarked on a criminal career' in the UK and still poses a threat of further offending, must be freed from detention.........Daq, an alcoholic and drug addict, committed 18 offences between 1998 and 2004, using 13 aliases. They included robbery, assault and burglary. The High Court was told Ahmed Daq, 32, must be released on bail because the Home Office has already held him for three years to facilitate his removal from the UK but there is still no prospect of deportation. "

Now it's not like this thug has been a model prisoner:

"Over the past three years, he has been repeatedly in trouble for violent outbursts against other inmates, and detectives fear he will be a menace on the streets."

Yet once again the simpering, politically correct, British Courts are worried more about crooks then the British men, women and children.

"His [Daq] latest appeal hearing has been delayed as the legal debate continues over whether it is safe to return criminals and failed asylum seekers to the violent and war-torn east African state."

You know what? - WHO CARES?!?! Who gives a rat's arse whether or not a lying/bogus muslim asylum seeker -who should have been deported back in 2004 - and who looks to the British people to provide him a home and $welfare$ and "free" legal aid - then goes on to rob, assault & burglarize these same generous and innocent people - is deported back to his muslim HOMELAND = SOMALIA?

Would seem to me that Daq made that choice himself when he decided to victimise the British people.

Unfortunately for all - the asinine British courts also appear to choose to victimise the British people - people who have spoken loudly and clearly about their immigration/asylum seeker concerns and feel that rampant immigration and multiculturalism are causing "cultural suicide":

"A 2008 YouGov poll, commissioned by Channel 4, indicated that 83 per cent of people felt there was an immigration crisis at present. Eighty-four per cent were in favour of stopping immigration completely and a further 66 per cent felt their livelihoods were being 'undercut' by migrants. LINK and inflict yet (another) known violent criminal into their midst.

You couldn't make this up...............Unquestionably - Reality is far more disturbing.

Balloch woman stabbed in violent attempted murder

A BALLOCH woman was knifed repeatedly by a man she met through an arranged marriage website.
The woman’s family were also threatened by crazed Yasir Afsar as he burst into their home.
The High Court in Edinburgh last week heard how Afsar went berserk in the Balloch house after the relationship with his intended bride broke down.
He turned up on the woman’s doorstep at 6.30am, forcing his way into the family home by claiming he was a business colleague of their daughter.
Asfar, 32, from the Midlands, had felt that the mum and dad would never approve of him as he was of a ‘lower caste’.
But he couldn’t accept the affair was over, according to defence advocate Shahid Latif.
Mr Latif explained: “The relationship developed to such an extent that a love marriage as opposed to an arranged marriage was in contemplation.”
Advocate depute Keith Stewart, prosecuting, said, that when Afsar turned up at the family home, they said she was not in and he pointed to her car, saying ‘I’m going to see her’, pushing his way into the house.
The terrified victim locked herself in the bathroom as Afsar tried to force it open with a kitchen knife.
The court was told how he also threatened to kill her parents if she didn’t come out.
After a struggle, the woman’s father went downstairs to telephone police and her mum persuaded Afsar to come downstairs to talk.
The daughter left the bathroom, heading for her bedroom to telephone police but Afsar heard her, followed her into the room and pinned her down on her bed.
Mr Stewart continued: “He began to strike her repeatedly on the chest with the knife. He then placed his hands round her neck.”
The court was told how the mum bit Afsar on the arm then, fearing her daughter was dead, ran outside to shout for help from neighbours.
Afsar drove away – leaving his DNA on the handle of the broken and blood-stained knife. He was arrested three days later in Dover.
The terrified victim was rushed to Paisley’s Royal Alexandra Hospital where doctors found that two stab wounds to her chest had caused both lungs to collapse.
Mr Stewart said: “The medical view is that both chest wounds were serious and potentially life-threatening.”
In court, Afsar admitted attempted murder, and apologised for what he had done.
Sentencing Afsar to seven and half years, judge Lord Brodie told him: “What you have pleaded guilty to is the attempted murder of a young woman who – according to Mr Latif – at one stage you loved.”

And yet they keep letting these muslims come to their country.

Here's your chance to bag some pirates -- while enjoying all the amenities of a luxury cruise!

No, this is not a joke. It reminds me of the Civil War-era sophisticates who packed picnic lunches and went out to watch the Battle of Bull Run -- that is, if those fun-loving folks had grabbed a rifle and joined in the battle.

Jihad Tourism Alert: "Luxury yachts offer pirate hunting cruises," from Ananova, June 26 (thanks to Twostellas):

Luxury ocean liners in Russia are offering pirate hunting cruises aboard armed private yachts off the Somali coast.

Wealthy punters pay £3,500 per day to patrol the most dangerous waters in the world hoping to be attacked by raiders....

Passengers, who can pay an extra £5 a day for an AK-47 machine gun and £7 for 100 rounds of ammo, are also protected by a squad of ex special forces troops....

"They are worse than the pirates," said Russian yachtsman Vladimir Mironov. "At least the pirates have the decency to take hostages, these people are just paying to commit murder," he continued.

I would love to go on one of these cruises. I will even bring my own AK and lots of ammo.

Somali Islamists Cut Off Hands and Feet of 4 Thieves

MOGADISHU, Somalia — An Islamic court in Somalia on Thursday cut off a hand and foot from each of four men convicted of stealing phones and guns, drawing hundreds of onlookers as the weeping men were punished at a military camp.

The Shariah court that carried out the sentences is run by the powerful insurgent group al-Shabab, which is trying to topple Somalia's U.N.-backed government and install a strict form of Islam.

"The men were bleeding and crying when the man cut their hands and feet off with a long knife," said one witness, Liban Ali. Journalists were not allowed to cover the sentencing. The four were convicted earlier this week in the capital, Mogadishu.

The U.S. considers al-Shabab a terrorist group with links to al-Qaida, which al-Shabab denies. The group, which controls much of Somalia, is joined by hundreds of foreign fighters.

Somalis traditionally observe Sufi Islam, a relatively moderate form of worship. But in recent years, insurgents have begun to follow austere Wahabi Islam — rooted in Saudi Arabia and practiced by Osama bin Laden and the Taliban.

Somalia has not had an effective government since 1991 when the overthrow of a dictatorship plunged the country into chaos. A surge in violence in recent weeks, which diplomats said is a major push by the insurgents to force the government out of its Mogadishu strongholds, has killed about 225 people.

Last week, the national security minister and Mogadishu's police chief were among those killed.

The country's lawlessness has spread security fears round the region and raised concerns that al-Qaida is trying to gain a foothold in the Horn of Africa.

Somali lawmakers pleaded this weekend for immediate international military intervention from countries including Kenya, Ethiopia and Djibouti to help quash the insurgency. But there was no indication reinforcements would be forthcoming.

Some 159,000 people have fled their homes since May 7, according to the U.N. refugee agency. The United Nations says an estimated 3.2 million Somalis — almost half the country's population — need food and other humanitarian aid.

Two years ago, Ethiopia deployed troops to support Somalia's fragile, Western-backed government, but they were widely unpopular and finally withdrawn in January.

This is right out of the terrorist training manual, the koran.

South African Media: Egypt Players Were Robbed By Prostitutes, Not Burglars

The South African media is claiming that an alleged robbery from the hotel rooms of some Egypt players on Thursday evening was nothing to do with burglars but with prostitutes.

On Friday, the Pharaohs’ team manager Inas Mazhar reported that $2,400 US had been stolen from the rooms of some players on the night the African champions defeated Italy 1-0 in the 2009 Confederations Cup.

City Press said on Sunday morning that police sources confirmed that there were no signs of forced entry and added that CCTV footage showed scantily-clad women moving around a number of hotel rooms during what seemed to be a party.

“The players must explain why their rooms were not broken into and why their room safes were not tempered with but they still lost money,“ an unnamed police source told City press.

Sunday World, another Johannesburg publication, quoted a police officer as saying, “we have confirmed that some of the players brought prostitutes whom they picked up on Oxford Road to their hotel rooms and we have strong suspicions that they were cleaned by ladies of the night.”

Security guards who guard the hotel told the same newspaper that: “when they (the players) ere robbed, they pointed their dirty fingers at hotel staff – that’s nonsense.”

The Egyptian team spokesperson was unavailable for comment.

I thought muslims respected women?

Organization of the Islamic Conference to open office in Brussels to fight "Islamophobia" in Europe

The Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) will open a representative office and appoint an ambassador to Brussels to fight more effectively against Islamophobia in Europe.

“This office will provide the West and Islam the opportunity to work coherently,” said Ekmeleddin İhsanoğlu, the Turkish secretary-general of the organization, to Today's Zaman.

The office will cooperate with the European Parliament and the European Council to develop the initiatives for interfaith and intercultural dialogue and institute contacts with nongovernmental organizations. The office will also be effective in efforts aimed at preventing discrimination against Muslims and fighting anti-Islam propaganda. “Of course fighting anti-Islam propaganda is one of the main aims of the office. Intercultural and interfaith dialogue constitute the priorities of the office in Brussels,” İhsanoğlu said.

İhsanoğlu, who had talks in Washington this week, will meet with the Belgian minister of foreign affairs in Brussels in the coming days. An agreement regarding the establishment of the OIC office in Brussels will be signed at the meeting.

Then they can work to erode free speech and expression from within Europe: You know, wage jihad smarter, not harder!

OIC officials are concerned that most of the actions considered by the public as Islamophobic took place in European countries; thus, the OIC believes better contact with official European institutions and the public is vital.

Operating on a principle similar to "The beatings will continue until morale improves."

A cartoon crisis that stemmed from the publishing of cartoons in Denmark insulting the Prophet Muhammad in September 2005 strained relations between Islam and the West. The idea of opening an office in Brussels was explained by İhsanoğlu to European politicians with whom İhsanoğlu negotiated during the cartoon crisis.

Again, priorities.

The OIC already has offices in New York and Geneva. The new office in Brussels will advance relations between Europe and the Muslim world. “With this office, we can create close institutional cooperation with the member countries of the European Union,” İhsanoğlu said.

Muslims are openly taking over parts of the EU, and these places have become no go zones for any non-muslim including police and emergency responders. They march in the streets shouting Death to UK, Death to America and Death to Israel and they are worried about islamophobia? You can bet that Bussels will bend over and say "yes oh mighty muslims."

Israel agrees to limit IDF activity in Palestinian cities

Israel has agreed to largely keep its forces out of four West Bank cities to try to boost a Palestinian security campaign supported by Washington, Israeli and Palestinian security sources told Ynet on Thursday.

The sources said Israel agreed to refrain from entering Bethlehem, Ramallah, Jericho and Qalqilya, except in cases where the army believes terrorists are poised to attack Israelis.

The agreement was reached following a meeting between Israeli officials from the Civil Adminsitration [sic] and top Palestinian security officials held in Bethlehem Wednesday evening.

According to the agreement, Palestinian forces will be allowed to operate in the aforementioned cities 24 hours a day; up until now they were authorized to operate from midnight to 5 am.

It was further decided that Israel would inform the Palestinian Authority of any security-related developments that may demand IDF intervention in territories controlled by the Authority.

The Palestinians hope that the increased cooperation will eventually result in the easing of restrictions on the Palestinian population....

Bethlehem should not be a muslim city. Judea and Sumarea belong to the Jews not the muslims. They need to expel every arab from all of Israel.

Hamas says has no knowledge of Shalit's life

The Islamic Hamas movement on Thursday said it cannot confirm or deny if the captive Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit is still alive.

"The crazy war on the Gaza Strip wiped out everything so we don't know if Shalit is still alive or if he has died," Osama al-Muzini, a Hamas official authorized to speak on this issue, told Xinhua, referring to a 22-day Israeli offensive against the Hamas-controlled territory in January.

Al-Muzini, however, said Israel has to go ahead with talks to exchange Shalit for a number of Arab prisoners "whether the soldier was dead or alive."

"The Zionist enemy has to pursue negotiations without any signal confirming or denying this argument," al-Muzini added.

Thursday marks the third anniversary of Shalit's capture by Hamas-led Gaza militants in a cross-border raid at his military base near the Gaza Strip.

The Islamic Hamas movement wants Israel to free hundreds of Palestinian and Arab prisoners, including all youngsters, women and the elder, in return for the captive.

Moreover, al-Muzini denied reports that Egypt, which mediates between Hamas and Israel, has made some progress in bridging the gaps between Hamas and Israel.

"The issue is still marking time and the contacts are weak, there are no new proposals," he said, adding that the reports were "trial balloons the Zionist enemy releases."

He reiterated that Israel has to accept the captors' demands as the only possible solution to Shalit's case.

The Jews got their two soldiers back from hezbullah in pieces. They were tortured and killed. They traded 100s of terrorists for two dead bodies. The Jews should no full well that Shalit is dead. Trade no one.

Muslim leaders condemn Sarkozy over burqa ban

Muslim leaders in Britain have warned that President Nicolas Sarkozy's calls for the burqa to be banned in France risk fuelling hostility towards Islam.

The Muslim Council of Britain (MCB) said Mr Sarkozy's claim that the head-to-toe garments worn by Islamic women signify subservience were "patronising and offensive".
Its criticism comes after Mr Sarkozy used a policy speech on Monday to declare the burqa was "not welcome" in France.

In a move which threatens to reignite the debate over religious clothing in the country, Mr Sarkozy said: "The burqa is not a sign of religion, it is a sign of subservience.
"We cannot accept to have in our country women who are prisoners behind netting, cut off from all social life, deprived of identity."
The MCB reacted by calling on Mr Sarkozy to "desist from engaging in and promoting divisive politics" towards France's Muslim population.
Dr Reefat Drabu, assistant secretary general of the MCB, said in a statement: "It is patronising and offensive to suggest that those Muslim women who wear the burqa do so because of pressure or oppression by their male partners or guardians."
Speaking for the umbrella group of more than 500 Muslim organisations including mosques, charities and community groups, she added: "Such suggestions can legitimately be perceived as antagonistic towards Islam.
"Instead of taking a lead in promoting harmony and social cohesion amongst its people, the French President appears to be initiating a policy which is set to create fear and misunderstanding and may lead to Islamophobic reaction not just in France but in the rest of Europe too."
Mr Sarkozy's presidential address to a joint session of France's two houses of parliament stood in stark contrast to comments made by US President Barack Obama earlier this month.
In a speech in Cairo, Mr Obama said it is "important for Western countries to avoid impeding Muslim citizens from practising religion as they see fit, for instance, by dictating what clothes a Muslim woman should wear".
The MCB said its attack on Mr Sarkozy echoed Mr Obama's plea.
There are no official figures, but around 100,000 women are thought to wear the burqa in France.
France, home to an estimated five million Muslims, passed a law in 2004 banning headscarves or any other "conspicuous" religious symbol in state schools in a controversial bid to defend secularism.
A group of 58 MPs from the Left and Right has called on Parliament to take action against women adopting what they called oppressive Islamic dress that "breaches individual freedoms".
Last year a Moroccan woman was refused French citizenship after social services said she wore a burqa and was living in "submission" to her husband.
In Britain, Jack Straw caused controversy in 2006 when he suggested that Muslim women should abandon wearing the burqa because it was a "visible statement of separation and difference".
Mr Straw, then the Leader of the House of Commons, faced criticism from Muslim groups after disclosing that he asked women to remove their veils at meetings in his constituency office in Blackburn, Lancs.
The MCB said its stance reflected its long established position that individuals must have the freedom to choose their attire on the basis of their religious beliefs.
Shahid Malik, the Communities Minister, said on Tuesday: "It is not the job of government to dictate what people should or should not wear in our society – that is a matter of personal choice.
"There are no laws stating what clothes or attire are acceptable and so whether one chooses to wear a veil or burqa, a miniskirt or goth outfit is entirely at the individual's discretion.
"It is true that many Muslims feel the veil and its rationale are misunderstood and so sensible discussion provides an opportunity to create a better understanding and ultimately ensures we are more at ease with the diverse society within which we live."
Muslim and non-Muslim groups in Britain have supported Mr Sarkozy’s claims and called for the burka to be banned here.
Douglas Murray, director of the think-tank the Centre for Social Cohesion, said: “There is nothing in the Koran that justifies the covering of women in what amounts to a black sack.”
Diana Nammi, of the Iranian and Kurdish Women’s Rights Organisation in London, added: “I fully support President Sarkozy. The burka isolates women.”

Walking single becomes difficult as women abducted, raped at will

KUWAIT CITY : A 23-year-old Asian woman is reported to have fallen victim to the lust of four unidentified persons who kidnapped her to an apartment in Hawally, raped her successively and released her after satisfying their lust.
Reportedly, the victim rushed to the police station and filed a case moments after her ordeal was over. She provided detailed description of the suspects, including their car registration number to the police to facilitate investigations. A case was registered.
Meanwhile, in an unrelated case, a Filipino woman in her 30s filed a complaint at the Farwaniya police station she escaped a kidnap attempt on Sunday.
Security sources quoting the woman said she was walking along the street at night when two persons dressed in national attire alighted from a car and approached her.
She stressed one of the men made an effort to bind her as the other endeavored to push her inside the car. The woman added she resisted and began to scream, compelling the kidnappers to flee.
Meanwhile, the case has been registered, and the suspects are being trailed by police.

This is amazing how muslims say that women are respected in the muslim world. There are almost no non-muslims in Kuwait.

Toronto 18: Details of alleged bomb plot revealed

Details unfolded yesterday at a sentencing hearing about a meticulous plan to bomb three buildings in the so-called Toronto 18 bomb plot of 2006.

In a statement of facts released yesterday in a Brampton courtroom, Saad Khalid, 22, admitted to playing a role in planning the foiled attacks, which co-conspirators allegedly said would be greater than the planned London subway bombings of 2005.

Khalid is the first accused to plead guilty in the case. The attack was allegedly set for a morning in mid-November 2006.

The statement alleges Khalid’s co-conspirators planned to target the Toronto Stock Exchange, the CSIS headquarters on Front Street in Toronto, and an unidentified military base, off Highway 401 between Toronto and Ottawa.

Three U-Haul vans were to be rented with fake identification, packed with explosives and detonated remotely, the statement says. One of the co-accused made the detonators and tested them himself, the 37-page document reads. The bombings were to occur on three consecutive days, rather than simultaneously.

The group communicated using pagers and USB memory sticks to pass around instructions, the statement says, so they did not have to use emails or cellphones.

An undercover police agent was enlisted by the group to procure nitric acid and ammonium nitrate for the bombs, the statement says.

The statement also says one of Khalid’s co-accused told the undercover agent that he wanted the attacks to occur on Sept. 11 2006, so the date would be remembered forever.

The co-accused allegedly said the attack’s purpose was to affect the economy, and that he hoped the bombing would encourage Canada to pull troops from Afghanistan.

Four youths and 14 men were charged in a police bust under the Anti-Terrorism Act in the summer of 2006. Charges against seven of the suspects have since been stayed.

By pleading guilty, Khalid, of Mississauga, Ont., is the first member of the group to admit a bomb plot existed.

He was charged with knowingly participating in a terrorist group, receiving training for the purpose of enhancing the ability of a terrorist group and intending “to cause an explosion of an explosive substance that was likely to cause serious bodily harm or death.” He pleaded guilty to the last count.

The identities of Khalid’s co-accused are under a publication ban. The trials for the other accused adults are expected to begin next year.

David Kolinsky, who represents another of the accused, said the statement does not change anything for his client.

Khalid’s lawyer did not return the Post’s request for comment. The sentencing hearing is expected to continue all week.

Take a good look at the attitude on the terrorist. I would love to be able to put a bullet in the head of people like this.

'Terror commander' loses appeal

An Afghan asylum seeker in Glasgow who fought against Nato-led forces in his homeland has lost his appeal against deportation from the UK.

Dawalat Khan Nasir, 34, was a former commander with the banned Islamist group Herzb-e-Islami Gulbuddin (Hig).

He entered the UK illegally in 2006 and claimed asylum on the grounds he was at risk of persecution in Afghanistan.

Judges at the Court of Session said his past meant he could not be shielded by human rights legislation.

The court heard that Nasir took part in attacks against the Nato-led mission in Afghanistan.

He took over his father's role as commander in Hig - a mujahideen group founded by former Afghan prime minister Gulbuddin Hekmatyar - when he was killed as the Americans moved in to overthrow the Taliban.

Nasir used Hig money to fund his departure from Afghanistan and fled by plane and lorry before entering Britain illegally in July 2006.

He made an application for asylum claiming that since childhood he had been involved with Hig - a proscribed terrorist organisation in the UK.

In October last year, Nasir, who has been living at a flat in Glasgow, was told by the Home Office that his asylum application had been rejected.

He challenged the decision but his case was rejected by a senior immigration judge.

His case came before the Court of Session in Edinburgh on Tuesday, which upheld the decision to deport him.

Afghan attacks

Nasir had claimed there was insufficient evidence of his participation in Hig acts which were contrary to the purposes and principles of the United Nations and that he should be afforded protection under human rights legislation and the Geneva Convention.

But Lord Hardie, who heard the case with Lord Reed and Lord Carloway, concluded that he was aware of Hig activities and aims and was excluded from the convention's protection.

Lord Hardie said: "At the time of his father's death the applicant was actively participating in the acts of Hig, including attacks against the International Security Assistance Force.

"He must have been aware at that time of the aims, methods and activities of Hig.

"Thereafter he became a commander in Hig and was involved in the planning of acts, including issuing orders to obtain guns.

"As a result of his involvement with Hig the applicant is excluded from the protection of the Geneva Convention."

He is excluded from the Geneva Convention? So following that logic, all of the guests at Club GITMO are exempt from the Convention as well.

Kamikaze drone loiters above, waits for target

new kamikaze drone out of Israel is designed to hang about overhead until it spots a target, then crash into it with "pinpoint accuracy" destroying the target, and itself, with 50 pounds of on-board explosives.

While classified as a Loitering Munition, the HAROP comes equipped with many of the usual UAV capabilities: high-performance FLIR and color CCD camera with 360-degree hemispherical coverage, allowing it to transmit video back to its operators just like a surveillance drone.

Like its predecessor the Harpy, the HAROP will be used to take out high-value targets such as air defense radars that transmit a strong tractable pulse. But there's nothing to indicate it can't home-in on a cell phone call from a moving car. Fortunately, the developer, Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), has thoughtfully included a Man in the Loop feature that enables the missile to be controlled in real time in case an attack needs aborting to avoid collateral damage.

The HAROP can be launched from a variety of platforms, including a ground vehicle. Launched out the box on a booster rocket, it unfold its wings, starts up an internal-combustion driven pusher propeller, and begins the hunt. Once a target is identified, it can crash "from any direction and at any attack angle, from flat to vertical which is highly essential in urban areas."

IAI has reportedly already signed a $100 million-plus contract to supply the lethal loiterers to an unidentified customer. Throwaway UAVs may do for IAI what disposable razors have done for Gillette.

A suicide UAV. Now that must really bother the muslims. That is their method of killing.

Mich. judges given say in court dress

LANSING, MI - The Michigan Supreme Court has voted to give judges authority over how witnesses dress in court after a Muslim woman refused to remove her veil in a small claims case.

A statewide court rule letting judges regulate the appearance of witnesses, such as asking them to remove face coverings, was approved by a 5-2 vote. The dissenters said there should be an exception for people whose clothing is dictated by their religion.

Justices heard last month from a Muslim woman who sued because her small claims case was dismissed when she refused to remove her veil.

Judges argued that they should be able to exercise reasonable control over the appearance of parties and witnesses to observe their demeanor and ensure they're accurately identified.

How does the judge know who he is talking to if a muslim is wearing a bag over her head?

UK: Women forced to marry under sharia are "really messed up"

NEW legislation has failed to stop forced marriages taking place, according to an Enfield support group.

Ila Bel, from Enfield Saheli, in Fore Street, Edmonton, said her charity was seeing an increasing number of women who were "really messed up” after being forced to marry under Sharia law.

In September, the Forced Marriage (Civil Protection) Act came into effect making forced marriages unlawful, following a campaign by MP Ann Cryer.

At a conference in Westminster organised by Enfield's South Asian Forum, Mrs Cryer said she had been prompted to take action to prevent forced marriages when she realised fathers were asking her for help with visas for new husbands to be brought to Britain, against the will of their daughters...

Finally someone has caught on. Now they need to prevent this type of immigration.

Brisbane woman raped then jailed for sex in United Arab Emirates

A BRISBANE woman was jailed for eight months in the United Arab Emirates for claiming she was raped by three men after her drink was spiked in a hotel bar.

The woman, identified only as Amanda, said she ordered one drink from the bar in the United Arab Emirates hotel she was staying, but then remembered nothing until waking up the next afternoon.

Amanda, interviewed on ABC radio this morning, said she was arrested after reporting her rape to police and later sentenced to 11 months' jail for having illicit sexual relations and one month for consumption of alcohol.

"I don't remember anything except for having that drink ... in one way that's a good thing but from what happened following, it's still an extremely traumatising,'' she said.

She was released five months ago after securing a royal pardon after serving eight months, and is now home in Australia.

She said the jails were overcrowded, inmates were often beaten and the water was frequently turned off.

Amanda said she had extensively researched the customs of the largely Muslim country before living there, but was not aware of the laws surrounding women and sex and drinking.

"It was such a glamorous lifestyle and at the moment there are so many Australians working over there,'' she said. "It is a very glamourous lifestyle and you can make a lot of money but unfortunately there's the other side that people just aren't aware of.''

She said four high-ranking muslim men had to witness penetration to prove a rape charge, so women who reported rapes were typically seen as confessing to illicit sexual relations or prostitution.

"I can move on, and I'm working on that, part of my process is to help other people with awareness of what's going on and making changes,'' she said.

Amanda met with several state MPs this week to tell her story. Amnesty International's Michael Hayworth said he sent a letter to United Arab Emirates officials, asking them to comply with United Nation's Women's Rights Conventions and remove discriminatory laws.

She is an idiot. Living in a muslim country and not knowing anything about islam?

TURKEY: BEATS WIFE, SENTENCED TO PUBLIC APOLOGY

ANSAmed) - ANKARA, JUNE 15 - "I apologise to my wife and the people of Arac for beating her". In northern Turkey the court of Arac sentenced Mustafa Kadinci to print a leaflet with these words apologising for his wife-beating habits. He had to print 1,000 leaflets containing his apologies and hand them out in city streets and public offices in order to avoid spending two years in prison. The unusual sentence was issued by a local (female) judge, who also ordered Kadinci to plant 50 trees and nurture them for 6 months. The sentence was issued after the man was found guilty of locking up his wife at home after an argument sparked off by the fact that the woman, going against her husband's will, went to visit her family. (ANSAmed).

Why was he even charged? The koran supports wife beatings and you can find many an imam on youtube verifying this.

TURKEY-EU: FIRST EU-RATED TOILET OPENS IN GAZIANTEP

ANSAmed) - ANKARA, JUNE 22 - The southeastern Anatolian city of Gaziantep has become the first in the country to have a public toilet that meets European Union standards, daily Hurriyet reports. The toilet facility was built in the city's Turktepe neighborhood, along Culture Road, and cost 80,000 euros. Built with EU funds, the public toilet has a special section for the disabled, a music system, water taps with sensors, a section for changing baby diapers and air conditioning and took one year to build. The man responsible for running the toilet, Sih Mehmet Agir, said people are surprised on their first visit. "They are surprised to see such a clean toilet; they show a lot of interest; they don't just come to meet their needs, they also come to look", Agir noted. (ANSAmed).

Since they are used to shitting down a hole, this must be a real novelty. Hey I will bet it even has soap in there. The Taliban banned soap in public toilets because Old Mo did not use soap. What progress in the muslim world.

UK: Muslim prisoners complain about sharing cells with infidels, are accommodated

A prison has agreed to give Muslims their own cells after they complained about sharing with other inmates.

They were said to be unhappy at praying and eating near non-Muslims at Birmingham’s Winson Green jail.

It is thought to be the first time inmates have been segregated by religion. Prison bosses have decided to place them with other Muslims, or give them single cells when space is available.

More than 1,400 inmates, including murderers and robbers, are housed at the jail.

‘So far around 15 Muslim inmates have been accommodated either by being moved to a cell with another Muslim or put on their own,’ said a prison source. ‘They initially asked for their own wing but this was turned down.’

In June 2006, a High Court judge warned that Ministers must find cash to cope with growing prison numbers and called for an end to forced cell sharing. Mr Justice Keith’s concerns were included in his report into the racist murder of Asian prisoner Zahid Mubarek by his cellmate Robert Stewart at Feltham Young Offenders’ Institution in West London.

The judge called for a new concept of ‘institutional religious intolerance’ to combat prejudice against Muslim inmates.

Aren't these guys in prison? Shouldn't they lose rights in prison? I say give them all a wing. It will keep them from converting the other prisoners.

There has also been concern among the 200-strong Muslim contingent in Winson Green about the halal meat served there. It had been prepared on site but, after complaints, is now brought in by an authorised supplier at what is thought to be extra cost.

One prison officer said: ‘This has caused resentment because it is felt the Muslim inmates are getting special treatment.’

That is because they are getting special treatment.

A Prison Service spokesman said: ‘Prisoner requests to share cells can be accommodated in some circumstances, such as prisoners sharing religious and dietary needs. All requests are subject to a risk assessment.’

About ten per cent of the 80,000-strong jail population in England and Wales is Muslim.

That sounds like the black and mexican jail population percentages in the US. There are less than ten percent muslims in the UK, but they represent a higher jail population. I wonder why that it is? Could it be that some "races" are more violent than others?

Taliban: “We know you are Christian. We warn you to leave this area, embrace Islam, pay 1,500,000 rupees (US$18,500) as jizya, or be ready to die in a

We warn you to leave this area, embrace Islam, pay 1,500,000 rupees (US$18,500) as jizya, or be ready to die in a suicide attack.”

Sacred Heart Cathedral, several Catholic schools in Lahore, and various pastors have received threatening notes telling them to convert to Islam. Moreover, Church of Pakistan Bishop Mano Rumalshah of Peshawar, NWFP, said the churches in his diocese continued to receive threatening letters which say either become a Muslim, leave, or be killed....
