Pegida und AfD kultivieren die gefühlte Gefahr durch den Islam
Seit Spätherbst demonstrieren in Dresden regelmässig Tausende gegen eine angebliche islamische Gefahr. Jetzt, nach dem Anschlag von Paris, fühlen sich die selbsternannten «Patriotischen Europäer gegen eine Islamisierung des Abendlandes» (Pegida) in ihrer Furcht bestätigt. «Die Islamisten, vor denen Pegida seit nunmehr 12 Wochen warnt, haben in Frankreich gezeigt, dass sie eben nicht demokratiefähig sind, sondern auf Gewalt und Tod als Lösung setzen», heisst es auf der Facebook-Seite der Bewegung. Die nächste Pegida-Demo vom Montag soll deswegen in «Demut und Trauer und in Solidarität mit den Familien der französischen Redaktoren» stattfinden. Teilnehmer sind dazu aufgerufen, schwarzen Trauerflor zu tragen. » | Tages-Anzeiger | Donnerstag, 08. Januar 2015
The Muslim Occupation of Europe
France will hesitate on the day after the attack against satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo, and its leaders will say a few words of grief and threaten the Muslim world. The French police will continue searching for the three terrorists who murdered a dozen people in the heart of Paris on Wednesday.
But France will not say out loud what millions in Europe are thinking in their hearts: It's either them, the Muslims, or us, the Europeans (most of whom are Christian Catholic).
The Muslim empire struck again on Wednesday, and it will strike the European community, which it envies, again and again. Millions of Muslims have already occupied a significant part of Europe's countries a long time ago.
The Muslim invasion of the continent requires every European politician to consider the many voices of the Muslim population. Even a European politician who despises the Muslims, their religion and their lifestyle would be unwilling to risk making harsh comments, although he is expected to make them, at least today. » | Eitan Haber | Thursday, January 08, 2015
Islam vs. West: An Ongoing Clash of Civilizations
It would be a big mistake to see the terror attack in Paris as an attack on the freedom of the press. Such a statement puts the massacre in the French capital in line with attacks against journalists by members of a Colombian drug cartel or the Chechen mafia.
That's not the case. The goal of the attack on the office of satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo was not to frighten newspaper editors so that they would not publish one cartoon or another. The goal was to show and prove who controls the streets and consciousness of the French Republic: The Western liberalism or the fanatical Islam.
This is a clash of civilizations, not a gang's intimidation campaign.
Many in Europe are finding it difficult to accept this perspective, let alone agree with it. As far as they are concerned, the Muslim terror in the continent has no supreme goal apart from just sowing terror. » | Sever Plocker | Friday, January 09, 2015
Radical Cleric Abu Hamza Jailed for Life by US Court
He was convicted in May of multiple charges, including hostage-taking and plotting to set up a terrorism training camp in the US.
His trial followed a lengthy extradition process from the UK.
During the sentencing, his lawyers asked the judge to take into account his missing hands and eye.
They also argued a plan to imprison Abu Hamza in Colorado's Supermax federal prison would violate assurances the US made to judges in London to secure his 2012 extradition.
Prosecutors argued on Friday that the US government had never made such a promise to the UK and life in prison was the only appropriate sentence. » | Friday, January 09, 2015
"Charlie Hebdo": Marine Le Pen regrette d'être la seule à parler de "fondamentalisme islamiste"
La présidente du FN Marine Le Pen a regretté vendredi être la seule responsable politique, selon elle, à parler de guerre contre le "fondamentalisme islamiste" après l'attentat contre Charlie Hebdo. À l'issue d'une rencontre à l'Élysée avec François Hollande, elle a également affirmé à la presse avoir demandé au chef de l'État diverses mesures en réponse à cette attaque sanglante de mercredi, dont la suspension de l'appartenance de la France à l'espace Schengen. D'après elle, "il faut se mettre en situation de répondre à la guerre déclarée par le fondamentalisme islamiste". "J'ai regretté d'ailleurs que ce mot n'ait pas été prononcé ni par lui ni par d'autres responsables politiques. La première des choses quand on veut mener la guerre, c'est d'être capable de savoir contre qui on se bat. On se bat contre une idéologie, celle du fondamentalisme islamiste. Ne pas le dire, c'est déjà une preuve de faiblesse", a accusé la fille de Jean-Marie Le Pen. » | Source AFP | vendredi 09 janvier 2015
Our Politicians Like Talking About Free Speech. Now Will They Let Us Have It?
As a victim of terrorism myself, when the terrorists strike as they have done in Paris, my first thoughts are for the victims, their families and friends.
After that of course we begin to think more deeply about the factors behind the outrages.
We should not discount the existence in all societies of a tiny minority of mentally ill, psychopathic individuals seeking notoriety by committing particularly foul crimes.
When such people live in minority communities harbouring resentment and grudges against the mainstream society, there is a natural seed bed for the cultivation of the grapes of wrath.
Mr Farage put that more bluntly with his comments about fifth columns within multicultural societies. That is, groups within minority cultural groups who work for the overthrow of the broader society in which they live. Or once again as Mr Farage put it: "people living in these countries (Britain and France) holding our passports who hates us." » | Norman Tebbit | Friday, January 09, 2015
Antisemitism in France: The Exodus Has Begun
The least surprising thing about today’s turn of events in Paris is that Jews are the target. Because when it comes to home grown anti-Semitism, France leads the world.
A survey last year from the European Jewish Congress and Tel Aviv University found that France had more violent anti-semitic incidents in 2013 than any other country in the world. Jews were the target of 40 per cent of all racist crimes in France in 2013 – even though they comprise less than 1 per cent of the population. Attacks on Jews have risen sevenfold since the 1990s.
No wonder Jewish emigration from France is accelerating. From being the largest Jewish community in the EU at the start of this decade, with a population of around 500,000, it is expected by Jewish community leaders to have fallen to 400,000 within a few years. That figure is thought by some to be too optimistic. Anecdotally, every French Jew I know has either already left or is working out how to leave. » | Stephen Pollard | Friday, January 09, 2015
'Hacktivist' Group Anonymous Says It Will Avenge Charlie Hebdo Attacks by Shutting Down Jihadist Websites
Hacker group Anonymous have released a video and a statement via Twitter condemning the attacks on Charlie Hebdo, in which 12 people, including eight journalists, were murdered.
The video description says that it is "a message for al-Qaeda, the Islamic State and other terrorists", and was uploaded to the group's Belgian account.
In the clip, a figure wearing the group's symbolic Guy Fawkes mask is seated in front of a desk with the hashtag #OpCharlieHebdo - which stands for Operation Charlie Hebdo - featured on screen.
The figure, whose voice is obscured says: "We are declaring war against you, the terrorists." » | Keely Lockhart, Video source YouTube / anonymous belgique | Friday, January 09, 2015
Islamists Slam Kuwaiti Lawmaker for Call to Allow Dancing, Alcohol
Nabil Fadhl provoked angry objections from fellow members of parliament when he proposed repeal of a 2004 law that prohibited dancing at concerts and festivals as contrary to the mores of Islam that dictate separation of unrelated men and women in public.
Asked by Islamist lawmakers -- apparently with sarcasm -- whether he also would support the legalization of alcohol, Fadhl reportedly replied, "Why not?" He said that drinking was tolerated in earlier times and that banning alcohol had led to the emergence of a black market where a bottle of spirits can be sold for more than $400. » | Carol J.

Badawi was also sentenced to 10 years in prison and fined more than $250,000. » | Laura King | LA Times | Reporting from Cairo | Friday, January 09, 2015
Obama’s Remarks on Paris Shooting ‘Shariah-compliant’
UNITED NATIONS – By refusing to associate the Paris terrorist attacks with Islam, President Obama is engaging in “Shariah compliant” speech, charges Joy Brighton, author of the 2014 book “Sharia-ism is Here: The Battle to Control Women; and Everyone Else.”
“President Obama defends free speech vehemently, and the press lauds him for this; however, he refuses to use the words “Islam,” “radical Islam,” “Muslim,” “jihad” or “Shariah” when condemning the Shariah-driven shootings in Paris,” she said.
Shariah is Islamic law, the moral code of Islam that encompasses all realms of life, from the personal to the criminal, economic and political. In addition to Obama’s comments Wednesday in the immediate aftermath of the Paris shooting, Brighton referenced his speech to the United Nations General Assembly in New York Sept. 25, 2012, in which he said, “The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam.” » | Jerome R.

Salafism Spreads as Europe Fiddles
The jihadist attack on the offices of Charlie Hebdo, a French magazine known for lampooning Islam, has cast a glaring light on the growing problem of Muslim radicalization in Europe.
While there are millions of European Muslims who worship in peace and pose no threat whatsoever to others, increasing numbers of Muslims on the continent are embracing a radical form of Islam and its call to wage violent jihad against all nonbelievers for the sake of Allah.
The trend can be seen in the increasing appeal of Salafism, the fastest-growing Islamic movement in Europe.
Salafism takes its name from the Arabic term salaf, which means predecessors or ancestors. Salafists trace their roots to Saudi Arabia, the birthplace of Muhammad, and glorify an idealized vision of what they claim is the true, original Islam practiced by the earliest generations of Muslims, including Muhammad and his companions and followers, in the 7th and 8th centuries.
The aim of Salafism is to re-create a pure form of Islam in the modern era. » | Soren Kern | New York Daily News | Friday, January 09, 2015

Al-Qaeda Plotting Attack on Britain
Al-Qaeda is planning a Paris-style terrorist atrocity against Britain, according to the head of MI5.
Andrew Parker, the Director General of the Security Service, warned that the threat of a “mass casualty attack” was growing and that intelligence pointed to the existence of specific plots.
Security was stepped up yesterday at British ports, and armed police were put on patrol at the Eurostar terminal at London’s St Pancras station.
Mr Parker warned that although three terrorist plots had been foiled in recent months, it was almost inevitable that one would eventually succeed. » | Tom Whitehead, Security Editor | Thursday, January 08, 2015
