Cargo Plane Bomb Plot: Passengers to Face 'Ludicrous Security Measures'
THE DAILY TELEGRAPH: Airline passengers could be faced with "ludicrous" new changes to airport security in the wake of the al-Qaeda parcel bomb plot, industry figures have warned.

Airport screening changes would leave passengers facing a raft of "inaffective [sic]", "useless" and unnecessary safeguards, warned Michael O'Leary, the boss of budget airline Ryanair.

But while he cautioned against overreacting, some industry experts called for an urgent overhaul of passenger security and the introduction of "package to package" checks.

A review of airline security is now likely after investigators concluded that the terrorists had designed a package to blow up passenger jets in a Lockerbie-style terrorist outrage. >>> Andrew Hough | Monday, November 01, 2010

Elwood McQuaid: Assessing the Fear Factor
THE JERUSALEM POST – BLOG – ELWOOD MCQUAID: When concessions are the fruit of fear, the bullies always win.

Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, leader of the crusade to build a mosque near Ground Zero in New York City, trashed his “moderate” pose when he disregarded millions of concerned Americans and declared that moving the proposed facility could cause a violent backlash from Muslim extremists and endanger national security.

Rauf told CNN, “The headlines in the Muslim world will be that Islam is under attack... Anger will explode in the Muslim world.” The fury, he said, could be worse than the violence that followed the publication of Danish cartoons of Muhammad in 2005.

No moderation here. Islamist muscle-tactics are now in full swing, threatening violence and retaliation and creating an air of intimidation that offers surrender as the only alternative to placing innocent lives in jeopardy.

And why not use fear as a weapon of choice? The publication of the cartoons of Muhammad by the Jyllands-Posten newspaper in Denmark was used by radical Muslim clerics to foment extreme violence. Muslims rioted, burned embassies, and boycotted Danish goods. Many people died because Muslims claimed they had a right to commit murder and mayhem because their religious sensibilities were offended.

The editor of the Danish newspaper explained he commissioned the cartoons to respond to the self-censorship being imposed in Europe when dealing with issues related to Islam. In other words, he objected to the press being intimidated into silence. Islamic extremists justify their long list of atrocities as Sharia-compliant and therefore acceptable for striking fear in the hearts of “infidels.”

Extremist Muslim aspirations were made clear when Islamic cleric Anjem Choudary told ABC’s Christiane Amanpour in October, “We believe that one day the flag of Islam will fly over the White House.” Those who dismiss his statement as the ranting of the radical fringe are not listening. His words echoed a pledge made by the late Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat who vowed the Palestinian flag would eventually fly over the churches of Jerusalem.

These are not idle threats. They are the long-term goals of Islamists who want a global caliphate that will destroy Israel and reduce Western Christianity to humiliating subservience. >>> Elwood McQuaid | Friday, October 29, 2010

Les erreurs d'Obama

LA PRESSE: (New York) Deux ans après avoir élu Barack Obama à la Maison-Blanche, les électeurs américains retourneront aux urnes mardi, pour les élections de mi-mandat. Même si son nom ne figurera pas sur les bulletins de vote, le président sera en partie responsable du verdict électoral, qui pourrait être dévastateur pour ses alliés démocrates du Congrès et lui.

Le candidat qui a su inspirer des millions d'Américains grâce à ses talents d'orateur durant la campagne présidentielle de 2008 a cédé la place à un président dont l'une des plus grandes erreurs aura été de communiquer au public un message confus sur ses réalisations.

Barack Obama a commis d'autres erreurs qui pèseront sur le vote des Américains. Le verdict pourrait être sévère, voire humiliant pour le président et ses alliés démocrates - le Sénat et la Chambre des représentants pourraient bien passer aux mains des républicains. >>> Richard Hétu, collaboration spéciale,

Terror-Bekämpfung: Saudi-Arabien könnte zum Edelhelfer der USA werden
WELT ONLINE: Der saudische Geheimdienst war über al-Qaidas Anschlagspläne erstaunlich gut informiert. Womöglich haben sie das Terrornetzwerk infiltriert.

John Brennan und Prinz Muhammad Bin Nayef kennen sich persönlich und stehen regelmäßig in Kontakt. Schließlich hat Präsident Obamas heutiger Sicherheitsberater für Terrorismusbekämpfung einst die CIA-Niederlassung im saudi-arabischen Riad geleitet. Dennoch wird Brennan eine böse Ahnung gehabt haben, als der für den Geheimdienst seines Landes zuständige Prinz ihn dringend persönlich sprechen wollte.

Bin Nayef hatte tatsächlich beunruhigende Informationen: Zwei im Jemen aufgegebene Paketbomben befänden sich auf dem Weg in die USA. Der Saudi war überraschend gut informiert. Selbst die Nummern zur Nachverfolgung der explosiven Pakete hatte er parat und er konnte den Amerikaner auch darüber informieren, wie der Sprengstoff getarnt worden war. >>> Von Michael Borgstede | Montag, 01.

Les étudiants démocrates entre apathie et désillusion
LE FIGARO: REPORTAGE - À l'université de Columbia (New York), qui compte Barack Obama parmi ses anciens élèves, les élections ne mobilisent que très peu les étudiants.

Sur les campus new-yorkais, engager la conversation sur les élections de mi-mandat est un exercice peu gratifiant : le sujet provoque le plus souvent grimaces et bâillements. Deux ans après le raz-de-marée des jeunes pour Barack Obama - ils étaient deux fois plus nombreux à avoir voté pour lui que pour John McCain -, la mobilisation s'est largement dissipée. Kaley Hanenkrat en sait quelque chose. La présidente du club démocrate de l'université de Columbia essaie depuis des semaines de sortir ses pairs de leur léthargie préélectorale. Barack Obama, lui, parcourt les universités du pays pour tenter de retrouver l'élan de 2008, mais la magie n'est plus la même et, de toutes façons, les élections de mi-mandat ennuient profondément les jeunes. En 2006, seuls 25 % des 18-29 ans avaient voté. Demain, 27 % ont l'intention d'aller aux urnes, d'après un sondage de l'université de Harvard. >>> Par Adèle Smith | Lundi 01 Novembre 2010

Un couple suisse assassiné à Saint-Domingue
TRIBUNE DE GENÈVE: CARAÏBES | Le site 20 minutes online révèle qu'un couple suisse a été assassiné en République dominicaine. Les deux ressortissants suisses ont été tué à l'arme blanche, suite à un cambriolage.

Le double meurtre, rapporte 20 minutes online, s'est déroulé vendredi soir non loin de la station balnéaire de Boca Chica, à une vingtaine de kilomètres de la capitale Santo Domingo.

Les victimes seraient une femme de 66 ans et un homme de 47 ans. Le couple établi depuis peu avait l'intention de passer l'hiver sur place. Les identités n'ont pas encore été confirmées par les autorités compétentes. Informé du crime touchant deux de ses ressortissants, l'ambassade de Suisse de Saint-Domingue «cherche à déterminer leur identité», selon le porte-parole du DFAE.

Baghdad Church Hostage Drama Ends in Bloodbath
THE SUNDAY TELEGRAPH: Up to 25 hostages were killed during a shoot-out between US and Iraqi forces and al-Qaeda-linked gunmen in a Catholic church in Baghdad on Sunday.

American soldiers and Iraqi security forces had entered the church in the centre of the city to free 40 worshippers being held by eight gunmen.

Seven members of Iraq's security forces, police and at least five of the attackers were also killed during the joint rescue operation in the Sayidat al-Nejat church.

The gunmen had stormed the church in the Karrad neighbourhood during evening mass after killing two guards at the nearby headquarters of the Baghdad stock exchange.

At least one of the deaths came before the rescue operation. One of the freed hostages, an 18-year-old man, said the first thing the gunmen did when they entered the church was to shoot the priest.

"They entered the church with their weapons, wearing military uniforms. They came into the prayer hall, and immediately killed the priest," said the young man who declined to give his name.

All the hostages had been huddled into the main prayer hall when the gun battles began with security forces, he said.

"We heard a lot of gunfire and explosions, and some people were hurt from falling windows, doors and debris," he added. >>> Telegraph’s Foreign Staff | Sunday, October 31, 2010

Barack Obama's Final Midterm Rally Highlights Declining Popularity
THE GUARDIAN: Voter disenchantment with US president was reflected by 5,000 empty seats during event at Cleveland's Wolfstein centre

Thousands of empty seats at Barack Obama's last campaign rally of the midterm elections today highlighted the decline in his popularity and the potential meltdown facing the Democrats at the polls on Tuesday.

Screens at Cleveland's Wolfstein centre showed the Obama logo from the 2008 White House race, the old campaign songs were played and the crowd chanted his slogan 'Yes, we can'. But the excitement and euphoria of that campaign were long gone. About 8,000 people turned out to see Obama in the 13,000-capacity stadium, compared with the 80,000 at a rally in the city two days before the 2008 election.

Speaking in Cleveland at the end of a whirlwind four-state tour , Obama said it was an important election. "We have the chance to set the direction of this country for many years to come," he said. He warned that the Republicans could roll back all the progress of the last two years if they won big.

He admitted it was "a difficult election" because of the state of the economy, and blamed the Republicans for creating the federal deficit – a theme he has repeated throughout the campaign but one that has failed to resonate with the electorate.

The Democrats face defeat on a scale that political analysts say has not been seen in more than 60 years. A CNN poll today put support for the Republicans at 52% and 42% for the Democrats , a big enough lead to ensure the Republicans take control of the House of Representatives and cut deep into the Democratic majority in the Senate. >>> Ewen MacAskill in Cleveland | Sunday, October 31, 2010

10% of Germans Want Führer Back - Survey

RT: One in ten Germans would like to see a Führer in power; they see dictatorship as the best option for the country, a survey has revealed.

According to a social study conducted by the Friedrich Ebert Stiftung, the longing for a strong hand is still common among Germans.

The poll, aimed at revealing ultra-right and nationalistic feeling, covered 2,400 Germans aged 14 to 90, and yielded unexpected results.

Ten per cent of respondents said that for its own sake, Germany needs a strong leader, a Führer who can rule the country with a steady hand. They pointed out that dictatorship was the best form of government. >>> | Published: Friday, October 15, 2010; Edited: Monday, October 18, 2010

Building of Mosques in Poland – Sign of Islamisation or Tribute to Human Rights?

RT: Activists say the construction of a second mosque in Warsaw is part of the Islamisation of the country and could eventually lead to radicalism and terrorism.

But local Muslims claim religious discrimination.



Mohammed moved from Egypt to Warsaw several years ago. Poland’s accession to the EU promised greener pastures. However, he says it’s been hard to settle in.

“I do only freelance jobs as it is very difficult for me to find any permanent work,” he said. “And not because I’m not skilled, but because my applications are turned down as soon as employers learn that my name is Mohammed.”

Poland has long been a mono-ethnic nation with the Muslim community making up less than one percent of the population. Most Muslims are ethnic Tatars who have been here for centuries. But the head of Warsaw’s only Islamic centre says the number of migrants from Muslim countries is growing rapidly. >>> | Published: Friday, October 08, 2010; Edited: Monday, October 11, 2010

There Mustn't Be Any False Tolerance - German Politician

Moscow Muslims Want More Mosques, Residents Stage Protests

RT: Muslims in Moscow say there are not enough mosques in the capital to serve the needs of their community. City Hall refutes the claims.

In recent years, the Muslim community of the capital has repeatedly complained that they need more mosques – the four existing ones are too little for the nearly 2 million believers living in Moscow.

The capital’s officials, however, say that more than enough land has been given over for the purpose of building places of worship.

The lack of mosques has even resulted in Muslims worshipping in Orthodox churches. Islamic leaders are strictly opposed to the initiative, saying that this only triggers hostility between the communities.

At the same time, building new mosques does not help establish better relations between the churches either.

Recently, around 2,000 signatures were collected by residents in the city’s south who did not want a mosque in their area. Instead, they say, the place could be turned into the park.

Orthodox Christian groups added fuel to the fire, saying that they also wanted to use the site for a church but could not get zoning permission, and questioning how their Muslim colleagues were able to get one. >>> | Published: Tuesday, October 12, 2010; Edited: Wednesday, October 13, 2010

Go Back to Where You Are Happy – German Author on Immigration Issue

RT: Immigration tensions are rising in Germany following Chancellor Angela Merkel's statement that multiculturalism has failed in the country.

Udo Ulfkotte, a noted German journalist and author, known for his severe criticism of Islam, shared with RT his view on what is behind the integration dispute and where it may lead.

“What I believe is there is a place for Muslim in this world and for their culture, they have a place to live in,” Ulfkotte told RT. “And there is a place for European and Western culture to live in. What I don’t believe is they will live peacefully together. We have a clash not only of civilizations and religions, we have a clash of ideologies, like we had a clash between communism and capitalism. Now we have a clash because Islam is also an ideology. I believe that Islam is not going to win a battle.”

LE POINT: Un attentat-suicide a blessé 22 personnes dimanche en plein centre d'Istanbul, la plus grande métropole de Turquie, et les premiers soupçons se portaient sur les rebelles kurdes. "Nous pensons qu'il s'agit d'un attentat-suicide", a indiqué le chef de la police de la ville, Hüseyin Capkin, qui a fait état dans un premier temps de 15 blessés : six civils et neuf policiers. Plus tard, il a évoqué un nouveau bilan de 22 blessés, dont 10 policiers et 12 civils, tout en rassurant que leurs jours n'étaient pas en danger. Aucun responsable de la ville n'a évoqué le sort du kamikaze, un homme, selon Capkin, qui aurait été tué sur le coup.

Les chaînes de télévision ont montré des images de policiers recouvrant une personne inanimée en sang gisant au sol. Selon les témoins cités par les chaînes d'information, une violente déflagration s'est produite vers 10 h 30 locales sur l'esplanade de la place Taksim, sur la rive européenne de la ville, où des policiers antiémeutes sont en faction 24 heures sur 24. Selon Hüseyin Capkin, l'assaillant aurait visé les policiers. "Il a tenté de pénétrer dans un car de police mais n'a pas réussi", a-t-il souligné. >>> Source AFP | Dimanche 31 Octobre 2010

Türkei: Verletzte bei Selbstmordanschlag in Istanbul
WELT ONLINE: Ein Selbstmordattentäter hat mitten auf Istanbuls belebtem Taksim-Platz eine Bombe gezündet. Zehn Polizisten wurden verletzt, zwei davon schwer.

Yemen Bomb Plot: Protests After Woman Arrested
THE SUNDAY TELEGRAPH: A female engineering student has been arrested in Yemen on suspicion of posting the packages containing bombs found on two cargo jets in Dubai and Britain.

The 22-year-old woman, named locally as Hanan al Samawi, was traced through a phone number left with a cargo company. Ali Abdullah Saleh, Yemen's president, said the information that identified her was provided by the US and the United Arab Emirates.

She was arrested at a house in a poor area in the west of Sana'a, where she is studying medicine at the university. Her mother was also arrested, but is not a prime suspect according to her lawyer.

A group of women gathered outside the university carrying banners, some of them written in English, saying the arrested women is being used as a scapegoat.

The bomb intercepted in Britain on its way to America was designed to explode in mid-air and may have been targeted at the UK.

David Cameron said he believed the device was constructed to detonate while the aircraft was in flight.

He said a plot to blow it up over British soil could not be ruled out.

The Prime Minister's dramatic intervention came as the investigation into the plot was centring on one of al-Qaeda's most senior commanders.

US and British security officials believe Anwar al-Awlaki, the American-born figurehead of Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) was behind the foiled attack in which two ink cartridge bombs, posted in Yemen, were intercepted in Britain and Dubai on the way to America.

Al-Awlaki, who is in hiding in Yemen, is regarded by the CIA and MI6 as the driving force behind the transformation of AQAP from a regional group into an international terrorist organisation.

Fears of more plots emerged after investigators in Sana'a, the Yemeni capital, said they were examining 24 other suspect packages. Read on and comment >>> Sean Rayment, Patrick Hennessy and David Barrett | Sunday, October 31, 2010

German Far Right Emerges from Shadows to Join Cologne Campaign Against Mosque
THE OBSERVER: A populist party fighting the building of a Turkish cultural centre has found willing allies among Austrian extremists

The buzz of drills and whine of cranes fill the air as scores of workers in yellow hard hats scuttle around the concrete shell of a building which, even in its unfinished state, dominates the working-class Cologne district of Ehrenfeld. For the thriving local Turkish community, the sprawling complex represents the chance for an entire infrastructure under one roof – from a mosque to a hairdresser's to a travel agency.

But for others in the city the new mosque and cultural centre has provoked fears that the multimillion-euro project will do little to encourage integration and give the Turks free rein to live in their own autonomous world. The right-wing populist Pro Cologne movement has campaigned against the mosque and moved a step closer to its goal last week after joining forces with Austria's far-right Freedom party (FPO [sic]).

"Every new movement needs a unique selling point," said Bernd Schöppe, of Pro Cologne. "Ours is the mosque. If ever you needed a sign of the real threat of Islamisation in Germany, it's that mosque, with its huge dome and 55m-high minarets." Pro Cologne, a small but growing movement which recently won seats on the city council, hopes to boost its profile by associating itself with the FPO [sic], which made its name a decade ago after sweeping to power under the leadership of the late extreme-right firebrand Jörg Haider.

This month the FPO [sic] was celebrating another feat, after securing 26% of the vote in the Vienna elections. One of its slogans urged Muslims to "go home", and among the election paraphernalia it dished out was a computer game where players score points for shooting at mosques and minarets. >>> Kate Connolly in Cologne | Sunday, October 31, 2010

Midterm Elections 2010: Prepare for a New American Revolution
THE DAILY TELEGRAPH: Popular rage against the elite could change the nature of US politics, says Janet Daley.

More than three centuries ago, the residents of America staged a rebellion against an oppressive ruler who taxed them unjustly, ignored their discontents and treated their longing for freedom with contempt. They are about to revisit that tradition this week, when their anger and exasperation sweep through Congress like avenging angels. This time the hated oppressor isn't a foreign colonial government, but their own professional political class.

In New York last week I was struck by the startling shift of mood since my last visit, during Barack Obama's first year in office. This phenomenon took varying forms, of course, depending on the political orientation of my interlocutor, but the underlying theme of despair and disgust was almost universal. Liberal Democrats (who hugely outnumber most other factions in that city) were despondent and disappointed with the collapse of Obama's popularity. A few of them (remarkably few, actually) were ready to blame this on a "Right-wing conspiracy" of vaguely racist motivation. But most of them were frankly critical of the strategic mistakes they believed the White House had made, and the baffling inability of their President to connect with the people in an engaging way. His shocking lack of emotional expression during last month's commemoration of 9/11 – a point of particular significance to New Yorkers – was remarked upon by a number of people I met.

There was a general sense that his personality was over-controlled and repressed, and that this was perhaps a function of his self-invention: the effect of having made a conscious choice to adopt an identity and a history (the Chicago black activist) which was unconnected to his real past. It occurred to me that, in an odd way, he was a Gatsby-like figure who had reinvented himself but whose new persona could be sustained only with a tremendous act of will. This psychological analysis seemed not unconnected to the political one, which revolved around his peculiar inability to sense what most Americans would regard as alienating and contrary to their own values and culture.

My Republican friends, perhaps surprisingly, were not gloating. They were too furious. But contrary to the superficial British assumption (heavily promoted by the BBC), they were not devoting their excoriation exclusively to the Obama Administration – or even to its clique of Congressional henchmen, led by Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid. That they were opposed to the Big State, European social democratic model of government which Obama had imported to Washington went almost without saying. But they were at least as angry with the leadership of their own party for having conceded far too much of the argument. Read on and comment >>> Janet Daley | Saturday, October 30, 2010

That Guy Obama Loses His Cool!
MAIL ONLINE: The pressure is on Barack Obama - and it is starting to show.

The famously-cool President lost his temper in Connecticut today after hecklers interrupted a speech he was giving at a rally.

Astonished attendees watched as Mr Obama interrupted his own speech as the hecklers - believed to be activists seeking more global Aids funding - began chanting at him.

'Excuse me, excuse me,' he said repeatedly, trying to speak over the hecklers. When they kept chanting, he fell silent for several seconds, looking visibly angry and raising one hand in frustration as the crowd began to boo around him.

'Let me just say this,' he said, addressing the hecklers. 'You've been appearing at every rally we've been doing.

'We're funding global Aids,' he continued defensively. 'And the other [Republican] side is not.

'So I don't know why you think this is a useful strategy to take,' he finished, jabbing his finger angrily in the direction of the hecklers.
