Palestinian unemployment blamed on Israel

GENEVA, Switzerland, June 12 (UPI) -- The Arab League's representative to the United Nations blamed the rising Palestinian unemployment rate
on the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories.

Ambassador Saad al-Fararji said at a forum on the sidelines of the annual conference of the International Labor Organization in Geneva, Switzerland, the jobless rate in the Palestinian territories has risen as high as 86 percent, KUNA, the Kuwait News Agency, reported Friday.
Fararj said at the forum, which was aimed at expressing solidarity with Palestinian workers, the poor job market

is the result of dangerous and unhealthy conditions created by the occupying Israeli forces. He said the conditions worsen sentiments of frustration and disappointment among Palestinians and undermine attempts at peace.

It does not matter that Hamas is running the place and is willing to starve their own people just to make sure that they have the weapons to kill the Jews. The Gates Foundation paid millions of dollars to the Israelis to leave the hot houses intact. They destroyed them. They are smuggling in everything that they need from Egypt, probably with Egypt's help.

Count Palau as “fear-gripped”, too

The Obama administration may be celebrating the agreement with Palau that gets 13 of the al-Qaeda-trained Uighurs out of Gitmo, but the Palauans have a much different reaction to the news. Jake Tapper reports that the editor of Palau’s main newspaper gets accosted on the street by angry citizens demanding to know what idiot thought bringing violent Muslim separatists into their tourist haven was a good idea:

The decision by Johnson Toribiong, president of the obscure Pacific nation of Palau, to take in up to 13 Uighurs — Muslim Chinese — currently being held at Guantanamo is meeting some resistance from the general population.

As ABC News’ polling director Gary Langer points out, proportional to population, sending 13 Uighurs to Palau is like sending 188,993 Uighurs to the United States.

The Associated Press reports that Fermin Nariang, editor of the Palau newspaper Island Times, has “been stopped in the streets of the capital Koror by locals venting their anger. ‘This is a very small country … and some are saying if the whole world doesn’t want these folks, why are we taking them?’ Nariang said. The government has ‘fumbled the ball on this one.’”

Palau President Johnson Toribiong explained his decision to grant the Uighurs entry as traditional hospitality, but public opinion has appeared overwhelmingly negative. Some complained Friday that the government failed to consult the people.

“I totally disagree” with allowing the Uighurs onto Palau, Natalia Baulis, a 30-year-old mother of two, told The Associated Press by telephone.

“It’s good to be humanitarian and all, but still these people … to me are scary,” she said. …

The newspaper quoted islander Debedebk Mongami as saying, “I’m also afraid this news is going to scare the tourists who plan to come to Palau.”

Wage war on the West -your reward is paradise in this life, AND the next. Wow. I hope recruitment doesn’t go up too much. Sounds like a ticket out of poverty.

We need to stop capturing these guys. I say take no prisoners, just kill them all. This is the only way that the world will be safe from these people.

Lawyers: Israel uses uranium in Gaza offensive

Lawyers investigating possible war crimes by Israel in the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip Thursday said the Jewish state used uranium in recent offensive on the blockaded territory.

Findings indicated that Israel heavily used uranium materials in its war in Gaza, Haitham Manna of the International Coalition for Trying Israeli War Criminals told a news conference in Gaza city.

At first, a French lab "asked us to obtain license from Ukraine because they believed the samples were obtained from a place hit by Chernobyl accident due to the high amount of Uranium that were found," Manna told Xinhua.

"We provided the labs with GPS (Global Positioning System) coordinates for the cites and images from the scenes where we collected the samples," he added.

The samples were collected from the Gaza Strip after Israel ended a three-week offensive on Jan. 18 to check if they contained prohibited weapons.

Some of the results that French, Italian and British labs released showed that "the amount of depleted uranium in the areas of the samples were more than 75 tons and this is a very dangerous percentage for the overcrowded places in Gaza," Manna said.

About 25 samples were handed to the labs, including air filters of Palestinian ambulances and fragments of weapons collected from Gaza-Egypt border area and northeast Gaza city.

In a addition to the uranium, carcinogen materials and asbestos dust were found in the air in the Gaza Strip.

Manna and Norwegian lawyers have been working to sue Israel for war crimes they say the Jewish state committed during Operation Cast Lead between Dec. 27, 2008 and Jan. 18, 2009.

More than 1,400 Palestinians, most of them civilians, were killed during the Israeli offensive and thousands of houses, infrastructure and governmental buildings were destroyed by Israeli raids.

He said his group "has been acting as a party, gathering evidences and submitting them to investigation panels."

A copy of the results were given to the South African persecutor Richard Goldstone who leads a UN mission to investigate possible war crimes in Gaza.

Gaza would never have been attacked if the muslims would stop trying to kill the Jews. The UN is nothing but an anti-semitic organization.

New fuel pipeline built between Israel, Gaza

An Israeli construction team Thursday finished its work on a new pipeline for the transfer of fuel and natural gas from Israel to the Gaza Strip, Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said in a statement sent to Xinhua.

The decision to build the pipeline was made in accordance with decisions made by the Israeli government, following security assessments and as a result of the coordination between Israel's Civil Administration and the Palestinian side, said the statement.

The IDF will continue to work in order to improve the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip, it added. Israel imposed a tight blockade on Gaza after Hamas, a Palestinian militant group pledges to the Jewish state's destruction, seized control of the coastal territory in June 2007.

Under the siege, only essential humanitarian goods are allowed into the impoverished enclave, home to some 1.4 million population.

I wonder how long it will be before the arab muslims blow up the pipeline? I give it less than a year.

Calls for Red Cross symbol to be axed over links to the Crusades

A Labour minister has sparked controversy by claiming that an alternative symbol is needed for the Red Cross because of the logo's supposed links to the Crusades.

Foreign Office minister Chris Bryant said that the historic emblem risked undermining the work of the humanitarian organisation.

His intervention came as MPs debated the adoption of the 'red crystal' - a diamond-shaped badge - to avoid the religious connotations of the cross and crescent symbols currently used by the international body.

But critics said the new insignia was a sop to political correctness and warned that it may be the first step towards it replacing cross and crescent. Others fear that it may not be as widely recognised on the battlefield.

'It is, in an effort not to be contentious, possibly too anodyne to serve its purpose,' Tory MP John Hayes said.

Philip Davies, a Tory backbencher, said: 'At face value to the layman it seems at best a solution looking for a problem and at worst another example of extreme political correctness.

'No one has ever suggested to me that the Red Cross refers to the Crusades.'

Shadow Foreign Office minister David Lidington said that use of the crystal over the cross by the British military should 'be the exception rather than be allowed to become the norm'.

Tory Oliver Heald said the Red Cross symbol was widely recognised and counselled caution that 'we are careful not to undermine that'.

'There is also a risk of confusion with many different symbols, and that terrorists may exploit that to mask themselves when carrying out attacks,' he added.

The founding Conference of the Red Cross Movement in 1863 adopted a red cross on a white background – the reverse of the Swiss flag – as the emblem of the voluntary medical personnel who assisted the wounded on the battlefield.

It was never intended to have any religious meaning and is thought to have been intended as a tribute to traditionally neutral Switzerland, which hosted the conference.

However, the symbol unintentionally raised suggestions that it was somehow linked to the Hospitallers, a military order which took part in the Crusades, the centuries long series of military campaigns waged by Christians from Europe.

Subsequently, a red crescent emblem was adopted in tandem.

Mr Bryant told the Commons: 'The reference to the Crusades is... not lost to some people which, of course, anybody involved in the Red Cross would wholly deprecate.

'The truth of the matter is that it has been difficult in some places for us to ensure that these connotations of a religious war or a religious crusade don't undermine the work that the Red Cross or Red Crescent is able to do.'
The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement hope that the neutrality of the red crystal will help improve protection for casualties, military medical services and humanitarian workers.

It was chosen because it is devoid of religious and other partisan connotations.
A treaty which established the red crystal as an additional protective symbol became part of international law in 2006.

It will now receive the same status in UK law as the red cross and red crescent under the Geneva Conventions and United Nations Personnel (Protocols) Bill passed today.

The impartial movement is the world's largest humanitarian network made up of almost 97million volunteers, supporters, and staff in 186 countries.

Leigh Daynes, spokesman for the British Red Cross, said: 'The British Red Cross strongly supports acceptance of the Red Crystal emblem.

It would give another option for the protection of humanitarian workers, as well as for the medical services of the armed forces, in situations where use of the Red Cross or Red Crescent emblems might be misunderstood.

'In these circumstances, the Red Crystal would make our workers and the medical services of the armed forces safer. The British Red Cross will continue to use the Red Cross emblem, which, after more than a century, has served us well.'

It amazes me that the world needs to bend over backwards for muslims. Why? The fucking crusades happened almost a 1000 years ago. And why does no one remember why the crusades happened to begin with? It was in response to muslims expansionism through out the world. They took over European countries and now claim them to be muslim. Why is it that if a land was once muslim it is always to be muslim? I hate these people. All of them.

"OFFENSIVE" UNION JACK BADGE ORDERED REMOVED FROM COPS UNIFORMS

Well it seems that it DOES offend some UNNAMED MET officials who have now banned armed cops at Heathrow Airport from wearing the tiny Union Jack flag badge on their clothing. These Union flag badges have been worn to show support for British military troops. Approximately 70% of these armed cops have served in the Forces and/or have children or other family members currently serving in Afghanistan.

Now who might you imagine would find the British flag as "offensive"? Who might be whining and complaining about it ?? -- Should we suspect muslims and their muslim wannabee sympathizers?

Clearly muslims have made an issue - worldwide - of crosses - or any object bearing any form of a cross (including National flags) as being offensive to them and clearly many dhimmis are tripping over each other to pander to these muslims -- here are just a few instances:

In today news! --A Labour minister has sparked controversy by claiming that an alternative symbol is needed for the Red Cross because of the logo's supposed links to the Crusades. Foreign Office minister Chris Bryant wants to replace it with a red "crystal".

JAIL bosses have sparked fury by banning a cross from their new chapel in case it offends Muslims....But while the room features heated spas for Muslims to wash their feet, there is only a portable Christian altar which can be wheeled in and out when necessary.

Turkish lawyer files complaint with Union of European Football Associations stating that the Inter Milan's team shirts consists of a big red cross on a white background. This has apparently reminded the Turks of an emblem of the order of the Templars, which is therefore deemed offensive to Muslims. The cross is the emblem of Milan

Hospital bans traditional Easter Hot Cross Buns = offensive to non=Christians ie: muslims.

Cross banned from chapel after being in the chapel for over 60 years --at the College of William and Mary in Virginia, USA - offends muslims.

Cross of St George is also used by Barcelona football team from Spain - on their badge - similar to the Inter-Milan incident it was deemed racist and offensive to muslims. Many muslim nations are altering the Barcelona shirts so it will not look like a cross.

Prison officials in Britain are concerned that tie pins worn by officers featuring the St. George's Cross – the symbol on England's flag – could offend Muslims who might associate it with the Crusades of the 11th, 12th and 13th centuries. "

These are just a few of the assaults made by muslims against the any representation of the Christian cross and/or National flags with cross symbols. A brief search of the web will find MANY more as well as affirm that no other ethnic, religious or otherwise groups voice any objection to or appear offended by the cross symbol.

Clearly muslims are methodically working towards incremental eradication of any form of the Christian cross from public view on their way to the Islamisation of Europe. With the help of pandering, multicultural worshipping, politically correct dhimmis - including these Heathrow (and other) officials - British police and politicians -one can predict - in Great Britain - muslims could very well succeed.

ARMED cops patrolling Heathrow Airport have been banned from wearing tiny Union Jack badges in support of British troops.

Top brass claimed the tie-pin badges - which cost £1 with proceeds going to the Help for Heroes charity - were OFFENSIVE.

But one officer asked: "How can the Union Jack be offensive? Pride
About 100 officers in the Metropolitan force's SO18 Aviation branch, which patrols Heathrow, bought the inch-square badges.

Seventy per cent of them served in the Forces and many have children fighting in Afghanistan.
Another cop said: "We're wearing the badges with pride. Most importantly, they are to show support for our soldiers at war.

"Nobody has put out orders to remove rainbow symbols that gay and lesbian officers wear. Why discriminate against us?"

A statement from the Met said: "The dress code states only approved corporate badging may be used."

"This ruling is even more absurd coming this weekend on the 65th anniversary of the D-Day landings.

"We must be the only country ashamed to display our national flag."

The EU is full of dhimmi's and will roll over and play dead for the fucking muslims. They are the true invaders. We need to bring back the Crusades and take back our pride and dignity.

Fitzgerald: On dogs and statues in Islam

A recent story in the Reading Evening Mail describes a 71-year-old blind Englishman and cancer sufferer who was asked to get off a bus because of the hysterical reaction to his seeing-eye dog by some Muslims on the bus:

A driver told a blind cancer sufferer to get off his bus when a woman and her children became hysterical at the sight of his guide dog. George Herridge, 71, told how the mum flew into a rage and shouted at him in a foreign language. A passenger explained she wanted him to get off the bus during the incident on May 20.

Mr Herridge, from Tern Close, Tilehurst, said: “Her child was kicking and screaming and someone off the bus told me her child was frightened of my dog. The driver said, ‘Look mate, can’t you get off? I stood my ground. I had not done anything, my dog had not done anything and I was getting off the bus for no one.”

And a day after the latest bus incident a lady began screaming “I don’t like dirty dogs” at Mr Herridge at the Royal Berkshire Hospital.

A week earlier he faced further animosity from a couple at Asda in The Meadway, he said.
He is unsure what has provoked outbursts but said he thinks some have come from Asian people and that it may be due to religious or cultural differences.

Drivers have been re-instructed to convey the blind and the bus company has sought advice from the Royal National Institute for the Blind and hopes to speak with Muslim leaders. As part of a Muslim Council of Britain project, Mufti Zubair Butt, Shar’ia advisor to Muslim Spiritual Care Provision in the NHS, admitted Muslims “require some education” on guide dogs.”

Readers of Jihad Watch are familiar with many similar cases. For example, there are those Somali cab drivers in Minneapolis who refused to pick up blind passengers with seeing-eye dogs.

One needs to know exactly what is going on in all of these cases. Continue reading "Fitzgerald:

"Shoe-bomber" Richard Reid on hunger strike in US prison

"He filed a lawsuit two years ago claiming that he was being held subject to strict 'special administrative measures' that prevented him from attending group prayers as required by his religion, pursuing a correspondence course in his religion or subscribing to religious magazines." Now why would anyone want to prevent convicted jihadis from "group prayers" or from reading "religious magazines"?

The British shoe bomber convicted of trying to blow up a transatlantic flight is being force-fed in America’s toughest jail after going on hunger strike, court papers disclose.

Richard Reid has been refusing food for several weeks in an apparent protest against prison restrictions that he says prevent him from following his Sunni Muslim faith.

The Muslim convert from South London is being held at the Administrative Maximum prison in Florence, Colorado, the only “supermax” jail in America.

The 490-capacity fortress, known as the Alcatraz of the Rockies, also houses Zacarias Moussaoui, a conspirator in the September 11, 2001 attacks, and Ramzi Yousef, the mastermind of the 1993 World Trade Centre bombing. Two domestic terrorists, Ted Kaczynski, the Unabomber, and Terry Nichols, the Oklahoma City bombing conspirator, are also being held there.

Reid, 35, is serving 110 years for attempting to bring down a ParisMiami American Airlines flight carrying 197 passengers in December 2001 with explosives hidden in his shoe.

He filed a lawsuit two years ago claiming that he was being held subject to strict “special administrative measures” that prevented him from attending group prayers as required by his religion, pursuing a correspondence course in his religion or subscribing to religious magazines.
He also complained that he was barred from reading newspapers or watching TV news, and denied phone contact with anyone except his lawyer, the British Consulate and his immediate family.

The US Government revealed on Tuesday in a previously undisclosed court filing dated April 14 that Reid had been refusing food since March.

The filing said that Reid had refused 58 meals by April 9. A government lawyer said that he was still on hunger strike. Prison officials decided on April 7 that “medical intervention was necessary” after Reid went on hunger strike.

What is the problem? Let him starve to death. I would cut off his water too. That will speed up the process.

Palestinian family tortures, murders 15-year-old son for "collaboration" with Israel

In the first incident of its kind, a Palestinian family has killed its 15-year-old son in the West Bank after accusing him of "collaboration" with Israel.

The boy's body was discovered near Kalkilya on Wednesday.

The Palestinian Authority security forces announced that they have arrested a number of the boy's family members in connection with the killing.

The victim was identified as Raed Wael Sawalha.

PA security sources said the suspects confessed to the killing, claiming that they decided to kill Masalha because of his alleged connections with the Israeli authorities....

A preliminary investigation launched by PA security forces revealed that Sawalha had been brutally tortured before he was hanged to death....

Gen. Adnan Damiri, spokesman for the PA security forces in the West Bank, said the perpetrators were all members of the boy's family, including the father, uncle and cousin....

This sounds like an honor killing to me.

Aging dhimmi ex-President: No Mideast peace without Hamas

They want to destroy Israel and celebrate murderers of Jewish civilians as heroes. But Carter is unconcerned! He knows they sincerely want peace! "Carter: No Mideast peace without Hamas," from the Jerusalem Post, June 11 (thanks to Sr. Soph):

Former President Jimmy Carter Thursday reiterated that there can be no peace between Israel and the Palestinians without involving Hamas.

His comments came shortly before he met with the group's Syrian-based leader, Khaled Mashaal. Carter met with Mashaal twice under the Bush administration, angering some in the US government who said he was legitimizing a group the US considers a terrorist organization....

Speaking to reporters after meeting with Syrian President Bashar Assad, Carter said Hamas and its more moderate Fatah rivals must reconcile so they can negotiate effectively with Israel.

"I don't believe there is a possibility to have any peace between the Palestinians and Israel unless Hamas is involved directly in harmony with Fatah," he said....

Another anti-semite that was in the whitehouse. Obama is even worst. He actually is a muslim.

America's first Muslim President?

In "America's first Muslim president? Obama aligns with the policies of Shariah-adherents" in the Washington Times, June 9, Frank Gaffney of the Center for Security Policy echoes a point I made in March 2007: that Barack Obama, whether or not he is actually a Muslim himself, can be America's first Muslim President the way Bill Clinton was our first black President: it's all about empathy, doncha know. Gaffney says:

During his White House years, William Jefferson Clinton -- someone Judge Sonia Sotomayor might call a "white male" -- was dubbed "America's first black president" by a black admirer. Applying the standard of identity politics and pandering to a special interest that earned Mr. Clinton that distinction, Barack Hussein Obama would have to be considered America's first Muslim president.

This is not to say, necessarily, that Mr. Obama actually is a Muslim any more than Mr. Clinton actually is black. After his five months in office, and most especially after his just-concluded visit to Saudi Arabia and Egypt, however, a stunning conclusion seems increasingly plausible: The man now happy to have his Islamic-rooted middle name featured prominently has engaged in the most consequential bait-and-switch since Adolf Hitler duped Neville Chamberlain over Czechoslovakia at Munich....

Egypt: Muslims angered, take revenge over recovery of abducted Coptic teenage girl following forced "conversion"

Cairo (AINA) -- In another incident of abduction and forced Islamization of Coptic minor girls, 16-year old Nermeen Mitry was abducted by a Muslim man to coerce her into converting to Islam. She was successfully recovered on the same day by her family, who did their own investigation and search to locate her.

Nermeen was abducted from El-Mahalla by Muslim Hossam Hamouda in conspiracy with his aunt Leila Attia; she was hidden away by a third person called Nasser Abu Deif from Assuit in Upper Egypt, at the home of one of his female relatives called Rasha Soliman in Zagazig.

The success of recovering the Coptic girl led to anger, revenge and assaults from the disappointed village Muslims against her family. Nearly 150 Muslims, armed with swords and clubs, physically assaulted five family members of the abducted Coptic teenager, as they drove back to their village after being forced into reconciliation with the abductor's family by State Security, compromising their right to pursue the case any further. "With every blow on us, they chanted 'There is only one Allah' while the Police stood there watching the assault, until we could take no more and three of us were hospitalized," said Nermeen's uncle Sameh Mitry in an aired interview with Coptic News on 6/7/2009. "They dragged us out of the car saying "Get out you followers of the Dog's religion!' They were consumed with anger ever since we got our girl back."

The police rounded up 11 Copts including the assaulted family and 14 Muslims. "The police let the real attackers go free and were just arresting people randomly," said Sameh. "We were released after 3 days except for two Copts whom the State Security held as pawns -- just in case we made any trouble they would be detained for a long time," said Sameh.

Nermeen Mitry, 16, from Toma village near El-Mahalla town, was on her way to sit for an exam on May 21, 2009, when she was lured by a Muslim female friend to go home with her where she offered her spiked tea. She regained conscious hours later to find herself facing a bearded Muslim man trying to convert her to Islam, in a far away town and another governorate in Egypt, which she later knew to be Zagazig. The traumatized girl recounted the events to Osama Eid, correspondent of the Free-Copts Organization.

"The man was very confident and told me that I would be the fourth Coptic girl to 'know the true Allah' and convert to Islam through him. He also said that a member of my family was converted 15 years ago by him. I told him I am engaged to be married when I come of age, and would never convert to Islam as this would be a catastrophe for me. He did his best to make me change my mind, and then left me alone for a while."

When Nermeen did not return home, the Mitry family went to the police. Unable to get the police to register the case as an abduction, the family subsequently went to State Security and reported the incident, but were delayed there for hours with no progress.

"Meanwhile, one of the abductor's family members contacted Nermeen's cousin Romany and told him he knew her whereabouts, and offered to accompany him to bring her back," Sameh told Coptic News. "I am sure the abductor's family knew that we would have implicated them and they were afraid. We freed the girl ourselves; State Security did nothing to help."

On their way back with Nermeen, they were contacted by the police and were told to bring the girl to State Security Directorate. Reflecting the diminished Coptic trust in all government institutions especially State Security, "we never went there, instead we took the girl straight to a Monastery to be safe there," Sameh told Coptic News. "We know quite well what Security would have done as has happened in many cases before. If she went there, they would have changed everything, closed the case and she would have gone to the other side."

"Ever since Nermeen returned the village Muslims joining the abductor's family started a terror campaign against us and all Copts in the village in general. They harassed and taunted us by saying 'we will get your girls one by one'" said Sameh. "They burnt down Nermeen's father recycled cartons warehouse. They set it on fire at dawn and went to the mosque to pray after locking its door. We contacted the Police and implicated a few people. They were released by State Security within 4 days."...

The systematic Islamization of Coptic girls has been going on for more than 30 years, Coptic Pope Shenouda protested during a conference held in Alexandria on December 17th, 1976 that "there is pressure being practiced to convert Coptic girls to embrace Islam and marry them under terror to Muslim husbands" and demanded that the abducted girls be brought back to their families.

Isn't islam a wonderful thing? I just love how muslims cannot just fuck their own women, they now have to take any woman that they want and just convert them and marry them. How is it that they are able to convert these girls. What do they consider a conversion? A good fucking by a muslim animal?

Passengers on Air France jet crash killing 228 had jihadi-terror links

Two passengers with names linked to Islamic terrorism were on board the Air France flight that crashed in the Atlantic Ocean, killing all 228 on board, it has emerged.

French secret servicemen established the connection while working through the list of those who boarded the doomed Airbus in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, on May 31.

Agents are now trying to establish dates of birth for the two dead passengers, and family connections.

There is a possibility that the name similarities are simply a "macabre coincidence," the source added, but the revelation is still being "taken very seriously."

Flight AF447 crashed in mid-Atlantic en route to Paris during a violent storm.

While it is certain that there were computer malfunctions, terrorism has not been ruled out.

Soon after news of the fatal crash broke, agents working for the DGSE (Direction Générale de la Sécurité Extérieure), were dispatched to Brazil.

It was there that they established that two names on the passenger list are also on highly classified documents listing the names of radical Muslims considered a threat to the French Republic.

A source working for the French security services told Paris weekly L’Express that the link was "highly significant."France has received numerous threats from Islamic terrorist groups in recent months, especially since French troops were sent to fight in Afghanistan.

Security chiefs have been particularly worried about airborne homicide attacks similar to Sept. 11.

Pilots from another aircraft saw a bright white light in the direction of this plane, and then it disappeared. The plane was found in two different areas of the ocean. This was taken down by jihadis. No question about it.

Saudi Sheikh: Attacking infidel tourists is legitimate

Based on "religious grounds": "Al-Qaeda E-Journal: Attacks on Tourists in Islamic Countries Are Legitimate," from MEMRI, June 9:

In an article published in the ninth issue of the e-journal Sada Al-Malahim, the mouthpiece of Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), Sheikh Abu 'Omar Al-Farouq endorses attacks on foreign tourists in Islamic countries on religious grounds.

Obama shows his shoes out of contempt for Israel?

Israeli TV newscasters Tuesday night interpreted a photo taken Monday in the Oval Office of President Obama talking on the phone with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as an "insult" to Israel.

They saw the incident as somewhat akin to an incident last year, when the Iraqi reporter threw a shoe at President Bush in Baghdad.

It is considered an insult in the Arab world to show the sole of your shoe to someone. It is not a Jewish custom necessarily, but Israel feels enough a part of the Middle East after 60 years to be insulted too.

Was there a subliminal message intended from the White House to Netanyahu in Jerusalem, who is publicly resisting attempts by Mr. Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to force Israel to stop any kind of settlement activity in occupied territories once and forever?...

This man is clearly a muslim.

Mubarak betting Netanyahu will fold, accept jihadist Palestinian state

And so a new base for the jihad against Israel will very likely be established.

"Mubarak: Netanyahu will agree to two-states," by Roee Nahmias for Ynet News, June 10 (thanks to Dan):

Does Cairo already know what Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will say at his anticipated policy speech at Bar Ilan next week? Egyptian President Mubarak hinted as much in comments made after a telephone conversation with Netanyahu.

"Israel will agree to the two-state solution," Mubarak said in an interview with Egyptian media on Wednesday, "I spoke with Netanyahu and told him there was no other option. Ultimately the solution will be one of two states – the State of Israel alongside an Arab state."

Mubarak said that Netanyahu did not counter his assertion.

Palestinian Authority officials in Ramllah also sounded optimistic on Wednesday following the meeting between US special envoy, George Mitchell, and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas....

Israel needs to just kill every arab in its territories.

Palestinians to get $55 million more in jizya from U.S.

(IsraelNN.com) The United States has agreed to provide the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) with an additional $55 million in funding, according an AP report. The latest pledge would bring the total the agency has received from the U.S. in 2009 to $154.5 million....

Georgia Tech jihadist guilty; father says: “He’s not guilty of any crimes in the eyes of Allah. He’s guilty of U.S. laws.”

The guilty verdict on the terrorism conspiracy charge against his son was expected, Syed Riaz Ahmed said Wednesday.

But Ahmed said his son, Syed Haris Ahmed, never harmed anyone and only expressed thoughts that he never acted upon.

“You think something and you’re guilty,” Syed Riaz Ahmed said, standing outside a federal courtroom shortly after hearing his son pronounced guilty. “He’s not guilty of any crimes in the eyes of Allah. He’s guilty of U.S. laws.”

Syed Haris Ahmed was misled into his extremist thoughts by propagandist Web sites, his father said, adding that he believed his son never would have followed though on any plans to engage in terrorism.

Ahmed, a 24-year-old former Georgia Tech student, was convicted of conspiring to provide material support to terrorists. During his trial last week, prosecutors introduced into evidence e-mails and Internet chats during which Ahmed said he wanted to engage in violent jihad.

In the summer of 2005, Ahmed went to Pakistan to join a terrorist training camp, but changed his mind and returned to Atlanta, re-enrolling at Georgia Tech. Federal prosecutors said that after Ahmed returned, he regretted not joining the camp and considered returning to Pakistan to follow through with his plans....

Cue the obligatory claim of victim status:

After the hearing, Ahmed’s 27-year-old sister, Mariam Ahmed, said her younger brother cooperated with the FBI during interrogations leading up to his arrest. The agents, she said, promised not to arrest her brother if he cooperated.

“They broke broke every single promise,” said Mariam Ahmed, who lives in Karachi, Pakistan.
Ahmed’s sister said she hopes Duffey will show some leniency on her brother because of the harsh conditions he has already endured at the penitentiary. “To me, he’s already suffered enough,” she said.

During his time at the penitientiary, her brother has memorized the Quran and strengthened his faith, she said.

Ahmed was convicted of conspiring to provide material support to terrorism in the United States and overseas.

Federal prosecutors said Ahmed and Sadequee went to Washington in 2005 and took videos of area landmarks that wound up on the computers of two men later convicted of terorrism charges in Great Britain. Prosecutors said Ahmed and Sadequee took the videos to earn the respect of terrorists overseas by showing how close they could get to potential targets of attack.

Prosecutors also said Ahmed recruited other men to go with him to join a terrorist training facility in Pakistan in the summer of 2005....

Ahmed waived his right to a jury trial so he could give his closing argument. During his allotted 45 minutes, he recited from the Quran in Arabic and told Duffey that using U.S. laws to defend himself would put him in rebellion against God.

This guy is a fucking terrorist, kill him. Now he has memorized the terrorist training manual and will be converting criminals in prison to the death cult of Old Mo.

Somali suicide bomber given decent burial in Minnesota

Here is the story of the suicide bomber from Minnesota that the state department brought back on our dime. Why?

You gotta be kidding! This guy, 27 years old, blows himself to bits and takes along 29 other people (I bet there were women and kids among those killed) and our FBI scoops up the body parts and brings them to Minnesota for a funeral. I wonder what that cost the US taxpayer? Have we gone completely around the bend?

And then, would reporters find someone other than Omar Jamal to speak for the Somalis. Jamal was found guilty in 2003 of immigration fraud and ordered deported. Hat tip: Blulitespecial.

Family and friends did not wish to talk about the circumstances of his death.

Community activist Omar Jamal is one of the few who will.

“Honestly I look at him seriously as a victim and not as a criminal, I think of him as a young victim,” says Jamal.

A victim? The killer was a victim? He was 27 years old, not 17. Jamal, that doesn’t make him a ”kid!” If the killer is the victim, what does that make the 29 people he murdered? Aren’t they the real victims?

Nobody made this 27-year-old American citizen go to Somalia. This is just infuriating. Stop all Muslim immigration to the US or we will be seeing more decent burials for American suicide bombers.

See the story and especially the video of the funeral here.

Here is our original report on this evil, cold-blooded Muslim killer, Ahmed. More on Jamal here.

The US must bring home the Somali terrorist’s body!

So says Omar Jamal, the one and only member of the Somali Justice Advocacy Center*of Minneapolis. Give me a break!

This is a followup to my previous post, here, about the news that one of the Somali youths who left the US voluntarily to join al Shabaab, a radical Islamist terrorist group trying to overthrow the Somali government, has been found dead in Somalia. There are conflicting stories. Jamal says he died from artillery fire, others say he was shot in the head by his buddies, al Shabaab. But, no matter, Somalis in Minnesota headed by Omar ‘Jesse Jackson’ Jamal are “frustrated” and insisting the US investigate and bring home the body for burial.

From the Star-Tribune:

Omar Jamal, executive director of the Somali Justice Advocacy Center in Minneapolis, said his group is looking into the death of the 17-year-old and asking federal officials for help in getting his body returned for burial. He said the teen was killed in artillery fire.

Bihi said his sister received many visitors offering condolences on Saturday. He added that family members were planning to hold a strategy session Sunday because they’re frustrated by the lack of progress with the investigation.

“We don’t want to sit down and wait for answers. We want to take action.”

Think about the nerve of this—demanding action and wanting US taxpayers to pay for returning the body to the US. Incidentally, this would be the second Somali terrorist we returned for burial in Minnesota. Here is a post on the first, and note that Omar Jamal is involved there too!
And, check out this last line. Guess the assimilation to America is working out real well—NOT!
Burhan Hassan, 17, was an infant when his family fled Somalia.

* Jamal’s one man advocacy group was in the news just yesterday, here, calling police in Minneapolis racist. I wonder who taught Jamal his grievance politics?

This barbarian runs off to Somalia to wage jihad and we have to worry about his body? Let the family go back to Somalia and bring back his body.
