Pat Condell: Goodbye to the First Amendment
Heiko Maas hat kein Problem mit Vollverschleierung
Bundesjustizminister Heiko Maas (SPD) hat den Parteitagsbeschluss der CDU gegen eine Vollverschleierung muslimischer Frauen kritisiert. „Ich bin dagegen, einzelne Themen zu dramatisieren“, sagte der Minister. Sicherlich müsse man in den muslimischen Gemeinden deutlich sagen, dass jede Einzelne selbst eine Entscheidung treffen kann, wie sie sich der Öffentlichkeit zeigt. „Solange das der Fall ist, habe ich kein Problem damit, wenn jemand ein Kopftuch trägt oder sich verschleiert“, betonte Maas. » | epd | Samstag, 26.

Deutschland als Recht-s-Freier Staat
Die sexuellen Übergriffe von Köln und Hamburg haben das Vertrauen der Deutschen in den Staat untergraben. Sicherheit, Recht und Ordnung. sind durch die gesetzwidrige Grenzöffnung ebenso weggefallen. Die langfristigen Folgen dieser Politik zeigen jetzt zum ersten Mal ihre hässlichen Auswirkingen.

German Women Report String of Sexual Assaults by 'Arab and North African Men'
Police in Germany are investigating an alarming series of sexual assaults on women trying to celebrate the New Year by large groups of single men “of Arab or North African appearance”.
Authorities in the city of Cologne are to hold a crisis meeting on Tuesday after police described a group of some 1,000 men who took over the area around the main station on New Year’s Eve.
Women were robbed, groped, and had their underwear torn from their bodies, while couples had fireworks thrown at them.
Police have received 90 criminal complaints, around a quarter of them for sexual assault, including one case of rape.
Police in Hamburg say there was a series of similar incidents in the city’s Reeperbahn red-light area. Witnesses described groups of five to 15 men of who “hunted” women in the streets.
In Cologne, the attacks took place around the main station, opposite the cathedral, a traditional gathering spot to see in the New Year. » | Justin Huggler, Berlin | Tuesday, January 5, 2015
Fatwa in der Türkei: Flirten verboten
Eine Fatwa, ein islamisches Rechtsgutachten, sorgt in der Türkei für Diskussionsstoff: Das Amt für religiöse Angelegenheiten, bekannt unter dem Namen Diyanet, will Verlobten vorschreiben, wie sie sich zu verhalten haben. Zum Beispiel sollten sie nicht in der Öffentlichkeit Händchen halten oder als Paar alleine sein.
"In dieser Phase ist es nicht ungewöhnlich, dass Paare sich treffen und miteinander reden, um sich kennenzulernen", heißt es in dem Gutachten. "Gleichwohl könnte es unerwünschte Ereignisse geben, ob mit oder ohne Wissen der Familien." Dazu zählten "flirten, das Zusammenleben, ohne verheiratet zu sein, oder als Paar unbeobachtet zu sein". Dies fördere Tratsch und Gerüchte. Auch das Händchenhalten in der Öffentlichkeit gehöre zu den Dingen, die sich demnach nicht mit dem Islam vereinbaren ließen. » | Momtag, 4. Januar 2016
Obama to Close Background Checks Loophole on Gun Show Sales
Thousands of unlicensed gun shows and online dealers will be forced to conduct customer background checks for the first time in a fresh effort by Barack Obama to tackle America’s epidemic of deadly shootings.
In measures aimed at circumventing political deadlock in Congress that will inevitably set off a fierce battle in the courts, the president is due to close a loophole in the current system as well as call for greater spending on enforcement and new technology that could prevent unauthorised gun use.
“The gun lobby may be holding Congress hostage, but they can’t hold America hostage,” Obama said in a tweet that accompanied an official preview of the announcement due on Tuesday. “We can’t accept this carnage in our communities.” Read on and comment » | Dan Roberts in Washington | Tuesday, January 5, 2016

Is This Ex-bouncy Castle Salesman the New Jihadi John? Sister of Anjem Choudary Follower Who Skipped Bail to Join ISIS in Syria Admits British Executioner 'Sounds Just Like Her Brother'
Speculation was mounting today that the ISIS executioner dubbed the 'new Jihadi John' is a British fanatic who skipped police bail to join the terror group in Syria.
British security agents are racing to identify the masked militant who spoke with a clear English accent in a sickening new execution video in which he is seen shooting an alleged British spy.
Reports have been circulating that he could be Siddhartha Dhar, a British militant who went on the run with his pregnant wife and family while under investigation by Scotland Yard in 2014.
Dhar's sister also fuelled speculation after saying she believed the ISIS gunman sounded very much like her brother.
The father-of-four from Walthamstow was one of nine men detained on suspicion of encouraging terrorism and supporting radical cleric Anjem Choudary and the banned group Al-Muhajiroun.
The former bouncy castle salesman later posted a picture of himself cradling his baby while brandishing an assault rifle to taunt security services whose blunders allowed him to escape. » | Simon Tomlinson for MailOnline | Monday, January 4, 2016
Sweden and Denmark Crack Down on Refugees at Borders
Sweden and Denmark have moved to drastically reduce inward refugee flows, as Scandinavian countries compete with each other to shed their reputations as havens for asylum seekers.
For the first time since the 1950s, from midnight on Sunday travellers by train, bus or boat have needed to present a valid photo ID, such as a passport, to enter Sweden from its southern neighbour Denmark, with penalties for travel operators who fail to impose checks. Passengers who fail to present a satisfactory document will be turned back.
“The government now considers that the current situation, with a large number of people entering the country in a relatively short time, poses a serious threat to public order and national security,” the government said in a statement accompanying legislation enabling the border controls.
Hours after the Swedish checks were introduced, Denmark announced it had stepped up border controls on its southern boundary with Germany.
Sweden’s move marked a turning point for the ruling coalition of Social Democrats and Greens, which earlier presented itself as a beacon to people fleeing conflict and terror in Asia and the Middle East.
“My Europe takes in people fleeing from war, my Europe does not build walls,” the Swedish prime minister, Stefan Löfven, told crowds in Stockholm on 6 September. But three months and about 80,000 asylum seekers later, the migration minister told parliament: “The system cannot cope.” » | David Crouch in Copenhagen | Monday, January 4, 2016

Iran's Leader Warns Saudis of 'Divine Vengeance' over Execution of Shia Cleric
Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has renewed his attack on Saudi Arabia over its execution of a leading Shia cleric, saying that politicians in the Sunni kingdom would face divine retribution for his death.
“The unjustly spilled blood of this oppressed martyr will no doubt soon show its effect and divine vengeance will befall Saudi politicians,” state TV reported Khamenei as saying on Sunday. It said he described the execution of Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr as a “political error”.
“God will not forgive... it will haunt the politicians of this regime,” he said. » | Reuters and Agence-France Presse | Sunday, January 3, 2016

Saudi Execution of Shia Cleric Sparks Outrage in Middle East
The Iranian government and religious leaders across the Middle East have condemned Saudi Arabia’s execution of a prominent Shia cleric and warned of repercussions that could bring down the country’s royal family.
In a serious escalation of religious and diplomatic tensions in the region, councils and clerics in Iran, Yemen and Lebanon said the killing of Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr would prompt widespread anger.
Iran’s foreign ministry spokesman, Hossein Jaber Ansari, accused Riyadh of hypocrisy. “The Saudi government supports terrorists and takfiri [radical Sunni] extremists, while executing and suppressing critics inside the country,” he told the Iranian state news agency. » | Nicola Slawson | Saturday, January 2, 2016
