The Path of a Young German Salafist
SPIEGEL ONLINE INTERNATIONAL: Robert B. wore long robes, dreamed of paradise and called himself Abdul Hakiim. He and his friend were arrested in July for trying to enter Britain with bomb-making guides and al-Qaida propaganda. They now sit in a London high-security prison. But Robert's motivations remain a mystery.

A mother can't be fooled, and a mother notices when her child goes astray, says Marlies B. That's why she called the state authorities in October 2010 and asked if she needed to be worried about her son.

Her son Robert had changed. He'd converted to Islam, forsaken pork and alcohol, and now he wore a knit wool cap and wandered the city of Solingen, northeast of Cologne, in floor-length garments. Marlies B. says she'd never seen him this way. People asked her about it, and it was embarrassing. It frightened her.

At the end of July -- after a period when she couldn't reach him, either on his cell phone or at his apartment -- she printed out a statement from his bank account. (Robert had given her notarized power of attorney years before.) She noticed a flight booked for €447 ($647), and "all of my alarm bells went off," she says. She drove to a national-security office in Wuppertal.

"You're son is doing well," an official told her, asking her to take a seat in the hall. Marlies B. had an uneasy feeling. A mother knows, she says. Two other officials came upstairs. They had just searched Robert's apartment, and they told her that her son had been in a London prison since July 15. » | Julia Jüttner, Solingen | Tuesday, August 30, 2011

Grausamkeiten in Libyen
Jüngste Berichte aus Libyen zeugen von unfassbarer Brutalität auf beiden Seiten des Krieges. Es häufen sich Meldungen über Funde von verbrannten Leichen, Exekutionen, Folter und Massaker. Von Zehntausenden Gefangenen fehlt jede Spur.

Libyan Rebels Demand Return of Gaddafi Family from Algeria
Libya's National Transitional Council says the dictator's wife Safiya, who crossed the border into Algeria with Gaddafi's daughter Aisha, sons Hannibal and Mohammed and their children on 29 August, should be extradited. The family crossed at the south-western Libyan town of Ghadamis into Algeria, according to witnesses

Gaddafis Familie auf der Flucht
Gaddafis Frau und drei seiner Kinder, darunter sein Sohn Hannibal, haben das Land Richtung Algerien verlassen. Vom Diktator fehlt weiterhin jede Spur. Nahostkorrespondent Pascal Weber schätzt für «10vor10» die neusten Entwicklungen ein.

Gaddafis Familie in Algerien
Laut Angaben des algerischen Aussenministeriums ist Gaddafis Ehefrau mit den Kindern Mohammed, Hannibal und Aischa nach Algerien ausgereist. Der libysche Despot Muammar al-Gaddafi ist noch immer auf der Flucht. Die NATO hat erneut Luftangriffe auf Gaddafis Heimatstadt Sirte geflogen.

Muslim Student Group a Gateway to Jihad?
The Muslim Students Association is one of the largest Islamic organizations in America. Yet some terror experts are saying the group a recruiting tool for jihad.

Das geheime Leben der Hana Gaddafi
WELT ONLINE: Sie wurde vor 25 Jahren für tot erklärt – doch der Verdacht erhärtet sich, dass Gaddafi-Tochter Hana noch lebt. Offenbar arbeitet sie als Ärztin.

Ihr Leben war streng geheim, denn für die Öffentlichkeit durfte sie nicht existieren. Hana Gaddafi, die Tochter des Diktators, wurde im April 1986 nach dem US-Bombenangriff auf Tripolis vom Regime für tot erklärt – aus Propagandazwecken. In den letzten Tagen erhärtete sich der Verdacht: Hana Gaddafi ist am Leben.

Erste Hinweise hatte es gegeben, als die Schweizer Regierung Konten der Gaddafi-Familie einfrieren ließ, darunter auch das Vermögen einer Hana Gaddafi, geboren am 11. November 1985. Die junge Frau hatte in London gelebt, in Libyen Medizin studierte und anschließend als Ärztin gearbeitet.

Die Eroberung der Gaddafi-Residenz Bab al-Asisia förderte weitere Beweise zutage. Eine irische Reporterin stieß in Gaddafis Palast auf einen Raum, in dem ganz offenbar noch vor Kurzem eine junge Frau aus dem Diktatorenclan gelebt hatte. Im Regal standen DVDs der US-Serie „Sex and the City“ und CDs von den „Backstreet Boys“. Außerdem entdeckte die Journalistin Anti-Cellulite-Creme und Stofftiere. » | Florian Flade | Sonntag 28.

Ouragan Irene: la catastrophe annoncée n'a pas eu lieu
TRIBUNE DE GENÈVE: L'ouragan Irène, entre-temps rétrogradé tempête tropicale, a bel et bien frappé New York. Mais la catastrophe annoncée n'a pas eu lieu.

L’ouragan Iréne a frappé ce week-end la côte Est des Etats-Unis, faisant douze morts. Il a été rétrogradé en tempête tropicale alors qu’il atteignait New York, où il a provoqué des inondations et de fortes pluies. La catastrophe redoutée n’a toutefois pas eu lieu.

New York «s’en est sortie», a déclaré le responsable des services de secours de la ville Joseph Bruno. «Certaines parties de la ville sont inondées, il y a de la pluie, mais globalement, je pense que nous nous en sommes sortis», a-t-il déclaré sur CNN.

Il a également évoqué des «milliers d’arbres à terre ou endommagés, de nombreux débris, et des inondations». Plus de 70’000 personnes ont été privées d’électricité dans la métropole.

Mais en milieu de matinée, la pluie avait faibli, la circulation reprenait progressivement, et certains New Yorkais se promenaient en famille, dans une ville toujours privée de transports en commun. » | AFP | Dimanche 28 Août 2011

New Book Review: The Dawning of a New Dark Age
I have just received a great review of my book, The Dawning of a New Dark Age, written by Michael Arch. Naturally, I am very grateful to Michael both for writing it and sending it to me, and it goes without saying that I want to share it with you.

I recently read ‘The Dawning of a New Dark Age’ by Mark Alexander…

There have been a number of books published on the rise of Islam and the threat it poses to the West, especially to Europe and the U.K. I have read a number of these books as this is a subject that interests me greatly. Mark’s book debunks a number of myths surrounding Islam, in particular the much-parroted concept that Islam is a ‘religion of peace’. Mark’s work is well thought-out and clearly laid-out. I found it a very informative read. It compared very well with the other books I have read; indeed, it was better than many of them. My favourite chapter was “Islam – Time to End the Myths”. In fact, in my opinion, pretty much all of the chapters were spot on. I highly recommend ‘The Dawning of a New Dark Age’ if you want to know about Islam and the threat it poses to the West. Read it! Islam is the elephant in the room. Mark is pointing at it with this book. Observe! – Michael Arch, August 2011
