ISIS Driven by World War I Agreement?
Binyamin Netanyahu 'Chickenshit', Say US Officials in Explosive Interview
US relations with Israel have plunged to new depths of bitterness and hostility as senior officials in the Obama administration decried Binyamin Netanyahu as a “chickenshit prime minister”, “coward” and a man more interested in his own political survival than peace.
The furious assessment delivered in anonymous but no-holds barred comments in an interview with the American journalist Jeffrey Goldberg in the Atlantic underline a state of anger with Netanyahu that is characterised as “red hot”.
The remarks are particularly telling in having been made to Goldberg, a Washington insider who has interviewed both Obama and Netanyahu, and who warned US-Israeli relations were in a “full-blown crisis” that could only get worse after the midterm elections.
Speaking to the Israeli parliament – the Knesset – a few hours after the comments were revealed, Netanyahu angrily insisted he was “under attack simply for defending Israel”, adding that he “cherished” Israel’s relationship with the US. » | Peter Beaumont in Jerusalem | Wednesday, October 29, 2014

Erdogan inaugure son nouveau «palais blanc»
Le président turc Recep Tayyip Erdogan inaugure en grande pompe ce mercredi 29 octobre, jour anniversaire de la fondation de la République, un nouveau palais présidentiel à l'origine d'une vive controverse avec ses opposants et les défenseurs de l'environnement.
Déjà rebaptisé ironiquement la «Maison blanche» par ses détracteurs, cet immense «palais blanc» («ak saray» en turc) va remplacer l'actuel siège de la présidence, beaucoup plus modeste mais historique, qui a accueilli les onze précédents chefs de l'Etat de l'histoire de la Turquie moderne depuis 1923. » | afp/Newsnet | mercredi 29 octobre 2014

| Mohammad Ali Baryalei: news of his death was reported on Twitter. |
The foreign affairs minister says the government is trying to verify reports that an alleged Australian Islamic State (Isis) recruiter has been killed in the Middle East.
Mohammad Ali Baryalei, alleged to be the most senior Australian involved in the Isis conflict in Iraq and Syria, reportedly died four or five days ago.
Baryalei has been accused of recruiting Australians to fight alongside Isis forces.
The foreign minister, Julie Bishop, was unable to confirm whether he had been killed. » | Staff and agencies | Wednesday, October 29, 2014
Conservative Dad Threatens ‘Sh*tstorm’ If Daughter’s World History Class Includes Islam
BayNet.com reported that La Plata High School in Charles County, Maryland has issued a No Trespass order after parent Kevin Wood — a former U.S. Marine — called the school and threatened to disrupt classes if his daughter’s world history class continued to study the religion and its impact on human history.
Wood reportedly telephoned Vice Principal Shannon Morris last Thursday enraged over a homework assignment which dealt with the formation of Middle Eastern empires centuries ago. History teacher Katie O’Malley Simpson said that the history curriculum has never been considered controversial in the past.
“The assignment has been given for years,” O’Malley-Simpson said.
La Plata High School Principal Evelyn Arnold issued a No Trespass order against Wood after hearing about the contentious call, in which Wood promised to come to the school and disrupt classes if Islam was mentioned any further.
O’Malley-Simpson called the decision to ban Wood from campus “unusual,” saying, “We don’t file no trespassing charges lightly. We would only do that when we feel someone has threatened the safety of staff and students.” » | David Ferguson | Tuesday, October 28, 2014
On Patrol with the ‘Sharia Police’
Earlier this year international outrage was sparked after a horrific story of gang rape in the Indonesian province of Aceh emerged.
A group of men raided a woman’s home and found a 25-year-old woman with a married man.
Accusing them of adultery, the vigilantes, one of whom was a 13-year-old boy, gang-raped the woman, dousing her and the man with sewage before marching them to the sharia police.
Despite what happened and the trauma of gang-rape, the sharia police in Langsa insisted the woman would be caned for alleged adultery.
That story never left my mind.
Securing access to meet sharia police chief, Ibrahim Latif, I found myself in Aceh soon after. » | Patrick Abboud | Tuesday, October 28, 2014
Geert Wilders Cake Lands Six in Saudi Arabian Jail
The commission raided the shop after they received a tip from a client complaining about the cakes that featured a plane and anti Islam messages. The six men working in the shop were arrested.
The messages were inspired by Geert Wilders’ idea for a new Saudi flag. His idea changes the Islamic declaration of faith into anti Prophet, anti Islam and anti Koran words. » | Janene Van Jaarsveldt | Wednesday, October 29, 2014

Germany Warns Security Situation 'Critical' due to Radical Islam
Besides the risk posed by German jihadists returning from Syria, there was also the danger of violent clashes on German streets as rival extremist groups turn on each other - mirroring the conflicts of the Middle East, he told a security conference.
De Maiziere said security forces believed the greatest danger came from radicals striking out alone, as happened in Canada last week, when two soldiers were killed in attacks that police said were carried out by recent converts to Islam.
"The situation is critical. The number of threatening individuals has never been as high as now," he said. "We represent freedom, and are therefore an object of hate."
The domestic intelligence agency (BfV) has warned that ultra-conservative Salafism was becoming increasing popular -- boosting the number of potential recruits for Islamic State. » | Alexandra Hudson and Sabine Siebold | Berlin | Tuesday, October 28, 2014
Iran Accuses 'Foreign Agents' of Being behind Acid Attacks on Women
A senior Iranian official has claimed that the recent spate of acid attacks on women in the country “is the work of foreign agents,” whom he accused of seeking to undermine the stability of the Islamic republic.
At least eight women have had acid thrown in their faces this month in the city of Isfahan, a Unesco world heritage site 200 miles south of Tehran. Some local reports say as many as 20 have been attacked.
In the weeks before the attacks began, clerics railed against the wickedness of “bad hijab” — lax adherence to the formal dress code — by women, and the victims are thought to have been targeted for being seen in “immodest dress”. » | Ahmed Vahdat, and Harriet Alexander | Tuesday, October 28, 2014

Après avoir pris dimanche le contrôle de l'université irakienne de Mossoul, le groupe Etat islamique (EI) a décidé d'interdire divers enseignements dans les facultés dans son califat autoproclamé en Syrie et en Irak, révèle le site italien Linkiesta.
