Muslim Hate Preacher Says Blogger Behind ‘Draw Muhammad’ Comp Should Die, On Live TV
 |
| The preacher was born in Welling, south-east London |
American right-wing blogger Pamela Geller clashed with British imam Choudhary just days after gunmen Elton Simpson, 31 and Nadir Soofi, 34, attempted to storm the controversial cartoon event in Garland, Texas.
Geller, 56, has received death threats and Islamic State militants have called for her "slaughter" since the exhibition.
During a heated live Fox News interview, host Sean Hannity questioned Choudhary on his views about the cartoon drawing event and if he thought Ms Geller should die.
The imam replied: "We’re not talking about Mickey Mouse or Donald Duck.
“You’re talking about people who deliberately had a competition to insult the prophet … knowing full well this carries the death threat in Iran.
"If you saw the cartoons that Charlie Hebdo drew [sic], you would understand the anger."
The cleric then went on to say that Geller would be fully aware that many Muslims consider blasphemy a crime that is worth capital punishment. » | Rebecca Perring | Thursday, May 07, 2015

Franklin Graham: ‘Folks In Garland Were Wrong’
 |
| Franklin Graham |
Franklin Graham, one of the world’s best-known Christian evangelists and the head of the nonprofit Samaritan’s Purse, said in a Wednesday morning Fox & Friends interview the “folks in Garland were wrong” to hold their “Draw Muhammad” event. ”
As a Christian, I don’t like it when people mock my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ,” he said. “What this event was doing in Texas was mocking Islam. I disagree with [them].” Graham said today’s society is lacking in civility and the “folks in Garland were wrong” to further that tone. “I think we need to show respect and civility,” he said.
“We need to respect one another … and those that believe differently [from my faith], I’m not going to mock them.”
Graham then condemned the radicalized element of Islam for attacking those outside their faith, and doubled down on remarks made earlier – reported by WND – that the United States should put a hold on allowing anyone into this country who’s coming from a nation with known terrorist cells.
“It’s wrong to prefer violence, period,” he said. “The Muslims have no right to go around shooting people because someone mocks them. … We should not be allowing immigration into this country from any countries that have active terrorist cells.”
Just Tuesday, Graham weighed in on the Texas shootings with a Facebook post saying the god of Islam is not the “God of the Bible,” or of Christianity. » | Cheryl Chumley | Wednesday, May 06, 2015

Exclusive–Pamela Geller Calls Out Cowardly Conservatives, Says She’ll Organize Another Free Speech Event in Near Future**Full Image Gallery**e

Geller talked about why drawing Muhammad is so controversial within Islam and how the media is capitulating to Sharia law in America, among other issues.

ISIS Threatens Controversial Blogger Pamela Geller in Message Boasting of '71 Trained Soldiers in 15 Different States'
The threat, posted on anonymous message board JustPasteIt, singles out Geller, who helped plan a Prophet Muhammad cartoon contest that was attacked by two gunmen in Garland, Texas, over the weekend. ISIS claimed responsibility for the shooting early Tuesday, marking the first time the terror group called an American attack one of its own, though lawmakers believe the two men were influenced by the group, not guided directly by it.
"This is the textbook case of what we're most concerned about," Rep. Michael McCaul, the chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, told the Associated Press.
Both the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security were aware the contest was a potential terror target and issued a joint bulletin on April 20. Organizers, including Geller - who has become a lightning rod for critics who think she promotes anti-Islam views - knew they'd be targeted but refused to back down.

Texas Attack Shows How US Protects Free Speech – No Matter How Offensive
The fatal shootings in Garland, Texas, of two extremist gunmen as they attacked an anti-Islamist meeting was a vivid reminder of the virtually unique protections afforded by the US constitution to free speech, no matter how hate-filled or provocative, according to prominent first amendment experts.
In many countries across Europe and around the world, Pamela Geller and the American Freedom Defense Initiative, who organized the event in Garland, might have fallen foul of hate speech laws such as the UK’s 1986 public order act or article 266(b) of Denmark’s criminal code. » | Ed Pilkington in New York | Wednesday, May 06, 2015
L'Iran interdit les coiffures punk

| Les coupes de cheveux relevant du culte satanique sont désormais interdites. |
Les autorités iraniennes ont interdit les coupes de cheveux non orthodoxes pour les hommes. L'objectif ? Lutter contre les cultes sataniques, a rapporté lundi la presse locale qui évoque également l'interdiction des tatouages et des soins de beauté. Plusieurs coupes de cheveux, notamment les crêtes hérissées sur le crâne, sont devenues ces dernières années à la mode au sein de la jeunesse iranienne. La frange conservatrice de la société leur reproche de ne pas être conformes aux préceptes de l'islam. » | Source AFP | lundi 04 mai 2015
Pictured: Islamic State Opens Luxury Hotel…But Guests Face Beheading If They Break Rules
Fighters for the brutal terror group have refurbished the Ninawa International Hotel in Mosul, the northern Iraqi city currently under IS control.
The 262-bed, five-star hotel, once voted the best place to stay in Iraq, has had an ISIS makeover with manicured gardens and freshly-polished marble floors.
It is unclear whether the hotel once famed for its "luxurious elegance and comfort" has retained its bowling alley and sauna after the recent renovations.
But dancing, music, smoking or gambling are now forbidden and women must dress head-to-toe in black.
Members of the group's notorious al-Khansaa brigade – its female police force - are understood to be tasked with patrolling the grounds to check clients are obeying strict Sharia law.
Patrons risk amputation or beheading for failing to adhere to the Islamic rules that govern the area. » | Tom Batchelor | Tuesday, May 05, 2015

Marine 'Not Fit to Be a Le Pen', Says Suspended Front National Founder Jean-Marie
Jean-Marie Le Pen claimed that his daughter Marine was unfit to run France, saying the Front National leader lacked the “moral principles” to be French president a day after his suspension from the party.
The 86-year old Front National (FN) founder said on Tuesday he would not, as things stand, back his daughter’s bid for the French presidency in 2017, saying his suspension suggested she did not have the moral fibre for the job.
“If such moral principles should preside over France, it would be scandalous given my betrayal,” he said. » | Henry Samuel, Paris | Tuesday, May 05, 2015

It said that "two soldiers of the caliphate" carried out the attack at a conference centre near Dallas.
IS's al-Bayan Radio news bulletin said the exhibition "was portraying negative pictures of the Prophet Muhammad".
Both suspects were shot dead after opening fire at the contest on Sunday.
Correspondents say that it is believed to be the first time that IS has claimed to have carried out an attack in the US.
"We tell America that what is coming will be even bigger and more bitter, and that you will see the soldiers of the Islamic State do terrible things," the statement released by the group said. » | Tuesday, May 05, 2015

In an e-mail to The Washington Post, Pamela Geller, an anti-Islam activist who organized the event, blamed "Islamic jihadis" who were "determined to suppress our freedom of speech violently." That sentiment was echoed on Twitter by another high-profile, if seemingly out-of-place, guest: the Dutch politician Geert Wilders. » | Adam Taylor | Monday, May 04, 2015
