Really? But some Islamic schoolbooks make highly derogatory and racist references to Jews and Christians

European school books present a distorted image of Islam and Muslims, using stereotypes that breed mistrust of the faith and its people, a five-country study published Thursday showed.

This slanted view reflects “cultural racism [but Islam is a religion, not a race, surely? -Ed.],” concluded Germany’s Georg Eckert Institute for textbook research, which analysed 27 volumes used in classrooms in Britain, France, Austria, Spain and Germany.

The report, which was presented at the foreign ministry in Berlin, was billed as the first of its kind in Europe. Read the rest of this entry »

Immigrants or colonisers? Paris Muslims defying a French ban on street prayer yesterday

Hundreds of Muslims defied a French street prayer ban which came into force Friday, taking to the streets and sidewalks of Paris to pray. The French government announced Thursday it was banning praying outside, with officials pledging to enforce the ban from Friday.

But 200 Muslims ignored the street prayer ban and prayed on the streets in the neighbourhood of La Goutte d’Or, Le Parisien newspaper reported.

French interior minister Claude Gueant said he had nothing against Islam but wanted it out of the public eye because France was a secular state. Read the rest of this entry »

The murderers of the Fogel family, who slaughtered both parents and three of their children in their beds in Itamar, Israel in March this year, will – like all other Palestinian terrorists – receive full salaries from the Palestinian Authority backdated from the day of their arrest. And you’ll be paying (Warning: extremely graphic and upsetting images – but watch them anyway).

The Palestinian Media Watch Foundation presented a report to the British Parliament this week, showing that a large proportion of aid given by the UK and other developed nations goes towards paying generous monthly salaries for Islamic terrorists in Israeli Prisons.

In addition, generous payments are also paid to the families of ‘martyrs’ – suicide bombers and those killed in action by the Israeli Defence Force.

In 2010, according to PA news reports, Britain contributed £90 million to the PA’s general budget. Britain has committed to continue its contributions to the PA with £86 million per year until 2015. Read the rest of this entry »

Muslims from Western countries are often found waging Jihad in Somalia and Afghanistan

There are currently several Dutch Muslims abroad actively participating in Islamic Jihad, the acting head of the General Intelligence and Security Service (AIVD) told a Dutch TV station.

According to Jan-Kees Goet, over the past two years several dozen Dutch Muslims have attempted to travel to countries like Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia. Some of these have succeeded and are still active.

Internet
The internet appears to be a catalyst. Dutch Muslim males interested in the Jihad begin an Internet search – then, via hidden sites and forums they are introduced to so-called ‘facilitators’, who provide practical advice and assistance, for example on travel to Afghanistan.

The AIVD says that facilitators are active worldwide. “They are also active in the Netherlands”, says Goet.

Although, as over 10 years have now passed since the events of 9/11, society is paying less attention, the threat of Islamic terrorism is still ever-present.

And not just the Dutch Muslims. This week in Manchester, England, Munir Farooqi, a Pakistani immigrant, was jailed for a life term for Jihad recruitment for the Taliban – i.e. signing up British Muslims to travel to Afghanistan and kill British and coalition forces.

We strongly suspect that every Western country with a significant Muslim population is recruiting from within for Jihad terrorism. But, as in so many other facets of modern society, laissez-faire Multiculturalism, ‘diversity’- obsessed public policy and the mass media are busy shielding the problem from the only people who can effect real change and – armed with the facts – would have the will to do so: the electorates.

Hizb-ut-Tahrir 'youth members' openly admit to voter intimidation in Denmark

In several Danish neighborhoods with a large concentration of Muslims ‘enforcers’ from Hizb-ut-Tahrir, the Muslim political organisation that openly seeks a worldwide Islamic Caliphate, guard the polling stations.

The Guards’ ‘task’ is to deter and prevent Muslims who wish to participate in democracy by placing their vote at the ballot box

“We see the guards in fundamentalist-oriented neighborhoods watching polling stations in their residential areas and ensure that people do not go down and vote. These are indirect threats. If there is someone who wants to vote but are seen at the school where they will voice their families may be ostracized”, said Mohammad Rafiq, integration consultant and author.

According to Rafiq, guards from Hitzb ut-Tahrir youth group, but there are also internal religious groups in areas including Blågårds Square, Mjølnerparken, Frederiksberg, Ishøj and Brondby, that also have guards.

And the price for a democratic voice can be high for a Muslim. Read the rest of this entry »
