Denmark Bans Foreign Funding of Mosques

The Danish Parliament has approved a new law that bans foreign governments from financing mosques in Denmark. The measure is aimed at preventing Muslim countries, particularly Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Turkey, from promoting Islamic extremism in Danish mosques and prayer facilities.

Denmark joins a growing list of European countries — including Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and Switzerland — which have taken varying degrees of action to prevent foreign governments from financing the construction and upkeep of mosques on their territories.

“Nowhere to Turn for Safety”: The Persecution of Christians, February 2021

Sexual Assaults on and Forced Conversion of Christian Women

Bangladesh: Two Muslims brutally raped a married Christian mother. On the evening of February 5, the 43-year-old woman was at home alone (her husband worked nights and her son was studying at a distant school). Two men broke in and attacked her. According to the woman:

“With their faces covered, they looked like thieves, but instead they wanted sex and started beating me up. As I tried to disentangle myself, I recognised Mohammed Alam’s face [a neighbor]. They kept beating me; I was scared and helpless. I asked for some water and they gave me a glass mixed with a sleeping pill that made me unconscious for three days.”

When her husband returned home from work on “the next morning he found the door open and his wife on the floor, undressed and unconscious.”

The Poor Boston Marathon Bomber Is Suffering, and He Wants Justice

All the Boston Marathon jihad murderer Dzhokhar Tsarnaev did was murder three people; why is everyone being so mean to him? Young Tsarnaev is suffering, and he wants you to feel his pain: CBS Boston reported Wednesday that he has filed a hand-written lawsuit claiming that he has been mistreated in prison. This complaint shows that the killer, besides being a confirmed jihadi with the deaths of several infidels on his record, has also mastered what has proved to be in many cases the most lucrative game of all: the game of victimhood.

“Godless Saracens Threatening Destruction”: Modern Christian Responses to Islam and Muslims

Following a millennium of almost uninterrupted hostility toward Islam and Muslims, Christian hostility toward both declined. In a series of major shifts, European imperialism and secularism overcame the age-old fears of conquest and of false doctrine. In the process, Christians also noticed that Islam was not the horrible trick that it once seemed. To a considerable extent, admiration, sympathy, and even feelings of guilt vis-à-vis Muslims developed, something nearly unimaginable before 1700. Still, the old legacy remains extant and notably revived with the surge of Islamism and immigration to the West during the past half-century.

The following account looks first at several kinds of changes and then at several kinds of continuities. The main changes are three-fold: European strength of arms, lessened religious sentiments, and a Left seeking allies.

A longish but very interesting read, worth your time.

Islamists in Germany fraudulently received €1 MILLION in Covid-19 aid, some funds used to ‘direct terrorism financing’ – media

Around €1 million in Covid-19 relief funds aimed at businesses might have ended up in the pockets of hardline Islamists, German media reported, citing sources in the Berlin police who opened more than 100 probes into the fraud.

The misuse of coronavirus aid to finance terrorist activities was reported by German newspaper Welt am Sonntag.

“In individual cases there is a suspicion of direct terrorism financing,” a source within Berlin law enforcement told the newspaper.

Afghanistan investigates ban on girls’ singing levied by it’s own education director for Kabul

“This is Talibanisation from inside the republic,” Sima Samar, an Afghan human rights activist of nearly 40 years, is quoted as saying by the Associated Press

The Afghan education ministry says it is investigating a recent statement from the director of education in the capital, Kabul, which banned girls older than 12 from singing in public.

The ban was widely criticised on social media. Girls shared clips of themselves singing using the hashtag #IAmMySong.

The row comes amid concerns about consequences of a possible peace deal with the Taliban.

So the Government and the Taliban sing the from the same songbook? Color me shocked.

In this video, my younger sister Nila, who is a 13-year-old student of the school, sings and raises her voice against the recent decision of the Kabul's Education Directorate. on banning female students over 12 from singing in public. #IAmMySong #MyRedLine #NotGoingBackToThe90s pic.twitter.com/Yb0cYQHqjP

AP Interview: Minister says Afghan forces can hold their own

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — Afghanistan’s interior minister said Saturday that Afghan security forces can hold their ground even if U.S. troops withdraw, challenging a warning from the United States predicting a withdrawal would yield quick territorial gains to the Taliban.

Masoud Andarabi’s comments in an interview Saturday with The Associated Press were the first government reaction to U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s warning issued in a sharply worded letter to Afghan President Ashraf Ghani last weekend.

Sounds good, time to go.

Popular Islamic Preacher Says Mother Teresa Is in Hell Because She Wasn’t Muslim

Zakir Naik is one of the most popular Islamic preachers and apologists in the world: his YouTube channel has 2.46 million subscribers, and copious videos explaining the clear truths of Islam, the limpid purity of the Qur’an, and abject falsity of Christianity and other religions. On Sunday, as the Good and Right-Thinking among us were celebrating the Pope’s lovefest with the Shi’ite leader Ayatollah Sistani in Iraq, Naik offered a cold dose of reality by affirming that every non-Muslim, no matter how righteous, even Mother Teresa, was roasting in hell for not accepting Islam.

Sri Lanka to ban burka and other face coverings

Sri Lanka has taken a significant step towards banning the burka and other face coverings in public, on grounds of national security.

Public Security Minister Sarath Weerasekara told the BBC that he had signed a cabinet order which now needs parliamentary approval.

Officials say they expect the ban to be implemented very soon.

The move comes nearly two years after a wave of co-ordinated attacks on hotels and churches on Easter Sunday.

Cast out: the Yazidi women reunited with their children born in Isis slavery

Yazidi elders disown former slaves of Islamic State, forcing them to choose between their children and their community

Bundled up in oversized scarves and coats, and squirming over lounge chairs, the 12 young children seemed startled as nine strange women with outstretched arms hurried towards them.

Some of the women sobbed as they embraced the bemused toddlers, who stared at them blankly not recognising their mothers, or understanding what the fuss was about. One mother stood motionless with her head in her hands, while another stared intently into her tiny daughter’s eyes.

Nanny who decapitated a girl, four, then carried her head through the streets screaming ‘Allahu Akbar’ will be free after doctors “cure” her’

A nanny who decapitated a four-year-old girl then carried her head through the streets shouting ‘Allahu Akbar’ will be free after just five years in a psychiatric ward, reports claim.

Gyulchehra Bobokulova, 43, has been ‘cured’ of the ‘chronic psychiatric disorder’ that led her to kill Anastasia Meshcheryakov and parade her head in Moscow, Russian doctors claim.

Horrifying footage shows burka-clad Bobokulova clutching the severed head of Anastasia – known as Nastya – and shouting ‘I am a terrorist’ outside Oktyabrskoye Pol metro station in Moscow.

Palestinians: Why Terrorists Support Mass Murderers

While many Palestinians hold Iran’s slain military commander Qassem Soleimani responsible for committing massacres against Palestinians and Arabs, especially in war-torn Syria, the Palestinian Islamist groups Hamas and Islamic Jihad are continuing to heap praise on him for supporting their anti-Israel terrorist activities.

Soleimani, former commander of Iran’s Quds Force, was killed in a US drone attack in Iraq on January 3, 2020. Many Palestinians and Arabs have denounced Soleimani as the “murderer of hundreds of thousands of women and children” in Syria, Yemen and Iraq.

Why Macron had to take on Islamism – Islamo-gauchisme

The French president is now caught between Le Pen and Le Monde

In France it has become difficult to have a rational debate about anything to do with Islam or Islamism. The opposing sides accuse one another of hysteria. Often, not always, they have a point. But in recent days, France — chattering, media-political France at any rate — has exploded into a blazing quarrel about a hyphenated word: Islamo-gauchisme or “Islamo-leftism”. What is it? Does it really exist? Is it, as some people say, a threat to the French way of life?

The term was invented 19 years ago by a French academic to describe an alliance between radical Islam and the extreme Left. The word has since been hijacked by the French Right – both the far right and more traditional conservatives — to mock attempts to combat racism or discrimination against France’s 5,000,000 Muslims.

Former ADL Director Discovers Virulent Islamic Anti-Semitism

Abe Foxman finds himself at odds with his former support of Democratic orthodoxy over Islam and Israel.

President Donald “Trump is a demagogue and his presidency threatens American democracy,” former Anti-Defamation League (ADL) director Abraham Foxman wrote on September 11, 2020, in opposition to Trump’s reelection. Yet review of Foxman’s 2003 book, Never Again: The Threat of the New Anti-Semitism, actually indicates that Jews such as him and others should have voted for Trump over Vice President Joe Biden.

The ADL is as big a sham as the SPLC. Democrat party smear machines.

Switzerland: Voters Approve ‘Burqa Ban’

Swiss voters have narrowly approved a proposal to ban face coverings in public spaces. The measure comes just over a decade after citizens voted to ban the construction of minarets, the tower-like structures on mosques that are often used to call Muslims to prayer.

The referenda reflect the determination of a majority of Swiss voters to preserve Swiss traditions and values in the face of runaway multiculturalism and the encroachment of political Islam.

Switzerland now joins Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Latvia, the Netherlands and Sweden, all of which currently have full or partial bans on religious and non-religious face coverings.
