EU image suffers in Malaysia, Indonesia over Quran burning

Well that sign is revealing.

Attempts by the European Union to bolster free speech in parts of Asia have taken another setback following protests from Muslim-majority countries in response to Quran burnings across northern Europe this year.

The governments of Malaysia and Indonesia, among the largest Muslim-majority countries in the world, summoned European ambassadors and demanded criminal action after an Iraq-born protester tore pages from the Quran and burned the religious book outside a mosque in Stockholm in June.

Similar acts of Quran burning, some carried out by individuals with far-right links, were also conducted in other cities in Sweden, as well as in Denmark last month and in the Netherlands in January.

Longing for Jihad, Former Taliban Fighters Join Militants’ War in Pakistan

As a child studying in a madrasa in Afghanistan, Mohammad Khalid Tahir dreamed of waging jihad. By the time he was a teenager, he had joined the Taliban and celebrated when they seized power from the U.S.-backed government two years ago.

But the high from that victory did not last. Reassigned as a soldier in the capital, he frequently complained that he was bored and longed to return to his life’s purpose, according to his family.

So this spring, he did — but across the border in Pakistan.

In Europe’s big cities, migrants are already the majority

One also glimpses the beginning of a violent reaction by French society, and perhaps Europe, against the drift of its suburbs.

The fear of the peoples of Europe in the face of mass immigration is constantly described as “xenophobia”. This is the fear that the camarillas in charge can denounce as “racism”, raising the specter of a democratic apocalypse, while the accepted “narrative” evokes an inclusive majority and an excluded minority which, thanks to hyper-tolerance policies, will benefit from it.

But only the blind can deny the ongoing disintegration which validates the sociological thesis of the disappearance of the majority and the birth of a cottage cheese society.

AfD leader says Germany is heading for ‘Rotherham-style scandal’ because of immigration

Germany’s “uncontrolled” immigration policies are leading the country towards its own version of the Rotherham child sex abuse scandal, a prominent figure from the radical right has claimed.

In an interview with The Times, Maximilian Krah, who is spearheading the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party’s European election campaign, said an influx of non-European immigrants could never compensate for a shortfall in the “indigenous” birth rate.

Jew-Hate in Germany

A nation’s badge of shame.

Antisemitism is the oldest hatred and the most pernicious. It exists even in places where there are no Jews. In Europe, antisemitism has been an instrument to scapegoat the Jews. Germany, the nation that perpetrated the Holocaust and is directly responsible for the murder of Six Million Jews, continues to exhibit its endemic antisemitic tendencies. The Department for Research and Information on Anti-Semitism (RIAS) has documented 2,480 incidents of antisemitic attacks in 2022, or about seven incidents daily. Much like the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) in the USA, RIAS tends to find antisemitism mostly in right-wing circles and tends to minimize left-wing and Islamist manifestations of antisemitism. Since the 2015 influx of Muslim immigrants into Germany, anti-Jewish acts of violence and abuse have gone up exponentially. In 2019, for example, the German government documented 2,032 antisemitic incidents. Germany has absorbed about 1.5 million migrants, the overwhelming majority being from Arab-Muslim countries.

Civil war isn’t coming to France — for now

Talk of war is emerging from the right and the left

Is France at war? Alain Finkielkraut, one of the most popular and respected — if controversial — intellectuals in France, appears to think so. Finkielkraut recently made further enemies by joining a growing set of French intellectuals, writers and politicians who say that France is in the midst of a desperate battle. To Finkielkraut, the rioting and looting that ripped across France earlier this summer was part of an ongoing conflict between two groups: those who respect Republican values and those who hate the French Republic.

Marseille: Why residents of ‘the most beautiful city in the world’ are struggling to survive — and say they feel abandoned by authorities

MARSEILLE, France—It is 10 a.m. but the squalid streets beneath the stained tower blocks of the Rosiers neighbourhood are deserted. A few young men armed with Kalashnikovs stand guard near a playground where torn garbage bags and rusted-out shopping carts perch in place of children.

At the edge of the housing project, a dumpster blocks the way in. Beside it, three stern-faced teenagers search vehicles and admit only residents or drug associates. They haul back the dumpster and guide cars past concrete barriers, broken furniture and craters in the pavement toward the next group of sentries deeper in the compound.


Interesting snapshot that unfortunately fails to address the role Islam plays in the No-Go Zones of France.

A mother quoted in the Star piece also turns up in this City-Journal entry citing a Guardian article:

The vacuum of effective policing . . . allowed a twisted cycle of brutality to fester; ferocious violence that Amine knows too well. On 29 December 2020 his brother disappeared. For six days his mother scoured the city until tipped off that the 21-year-old would not be coming home. Brahim Kessaci was found beside another body in the boot [trunk] of a burned-out car on a road heading out of the city. A third body had been sliced into pieces with a chain saw and images sent to his traumatised father.

There was no widespread rioting in response to these horrible crimes.

Pakistan: ‘Eye-for-an-Eye’ Repercussions on Christians from Sweden Burning the Quran

In the interconnected, digital world of the 21st-century, an event thousands of miles away can send shockwaves felt in other parts of the world. The recent burning of a Quran in Sweden has had reverberations as far away as Pakistan and a special impact on the already defenceless Christian minority there.

This is not the first time Pakistani Christians have experienced societal prejudice, institutional discrimination, and sporadic violence. These issues are frequently exacerbated whenever similar events take place anywhere in the West. The fallout from the Quran’s desecration in Sweden, however, has intensified these conflicts, resulting in an alarming rise in threats and the defilement of Christian symbols, particularly the Cross, symbolising Christianity.

Islamic State terrorist judged a ‘danger to the public’ three months ago will be released from jail in DAYS because the government has no power to extend his sentence

A British Islamic State terrorist will have to be released in days despite still being considered a potential risk to the public.

Mohammed Uddin, then 30, was jailed in 2016 for seven-years after pleading guilty to trying to join ISIS in Syria.

The former security guard, from Barking in Essex, now aged 37, traveled through Turkey to join his terror heroes in Syria but then tried to sneak back into Britain when he became disillusioned with jihadi life and was arrested.

Moammar Gadhafi stashed billions in Canadian bank accounts, former diplomat says

Billions of dollars belonging to former Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi are sitting in Canadian bank accounts almost 12 years after his death, says a former diplomat.

Fathi Baja, who served as Libya’s ambassador to Canada from 2013 to 2017, said he kept confidential documents containing financial details about the cash stockpile after he was fired from his envoy job in Ottawa. Citing the risk of corruption, Mr. Baja said he plans to safeguard those financial records in Libya until the North African country has a democratically elected government.


Away back in 2010 this blog uncovered a real estate partnership between Edmonton’s “Canada’s Islamic Society” and Gadafhi’s WICS (World Islamic Call Society)

WICS had it’s charitable status revoked in 2011 but Gaddafi’s local partners and their affiliates soldier on and in fact  received tax payer dollars for security enhancements of their facilities under the Security Infrastructure Program for “Communities at Risk.”

In the 1st quarter of 2010 the Arabian Muslim Association and the Edmonton Islamic Academy received $69,008.00 & $30,096.00 respectively under the federal government’s “Communities at Risk: Security Infrastructure Pilot (SIP) Program.”

France launches anti-sexism beach patrols that women can flag if they are being harassed

Marseille has launched anti-sexism beach patrols that allow women to flag up if they are being harassed on a free phone app.

Women on beaches around the city can use Safer Plage, which presents them with three options: “I’m being bothered”, “I’m being harassed” or “I’m in danger”.

A pair of beach mediators is then dispatched to the trouble spot – one to reassure the woman, the other to tackle the harasser.
