As France debates banning the wearing of the burka, it is reported that over half of voters in four other major EU countries – UK, Italy, Spain and Germany. – also support Sarkozy in his attempt to rid France of Oppressionwear.

We can’t help but wonder what the results of this survey would reveal were it repeated across the other 22 member states.

The Financial Times commissioned the survey and has the full story here (registration may be required).

Noor al-Maleki's murdering father will escape the death penalty

Have Muslims been exempted from the death penalty in the United States?

It appears even America is not immune to the disease of dhimmitude and cultural cringe towards Islam, a phenomenon that is infecting judiciaries all over the Western world:

Glendale [Arizona] man accused of slaying his daughter in an “honour killing” will not face the death penalty.

After sparring with the suspect’s defence attorney over its death penalty review process, the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office has said it will not seek death for Faleh Almaleki, 49.

The Iraqi immigrant is accused of slaying his daughter, 20-year-old Noor Almaleki, for being “too Westernised.”

Police say he used his Jeep Cherokee to run down his daughter and another woman in a Peoria parking lot Oct. 20. Noor Almaleki later died of her injuries. Read the rest of this entry »

If romance isn’t quite dead in the country where 8 year-old girls can marry 80 year-old men, it’s certainly on its last legs:

If you can’t stand shops filled with roses, heart-shaped boxes of chocolates, teddy bears, cards and novelty gifts, Saudi Arabia is the place to be this Valentine’s Day.

The country’s feared muttawa — religious police — have launched a campaign to banish from the shelves anything that could be construed as a romantic gift. As Sunday approaches, they have been patrolling the shops and posting warnings in local newspapers to remind traders that anyone caught violating the ban will be punished.

'Burn in Hell': Pakistani Muslim Lawyers not making death-threats and blocking the entrance to an Islamabad Courthouse against anyone foolish enough to prosecute fellow Muslim employer who can't have raped, tortured and killed a 12-year old Christian girl, because that could have never happened. Allah is oft forgiving, most merciful...

Hmm… we wonder why?

It seems the international mainstream media were clearly so shocked by the fact that Pakistani lawyers, adherents of the one religion on the planet that condones sex with underage children and the ill-treatment of members of other religions were forcibly preventing legal action that would challenge such behaviour to go ahead – that they didn’t bother to report on the story:

No lawyer comes forward to defend Shazia Bashir, the servant girl murdered by her employer. The powerful association of lawyers in Lahore, arrayed in defence of the murderer, launches death threats and prevents access to the Court. Christian Association condemns this new form of terrorism.

Because of the threats posed by the powerful Lahore Bar Association – an umbrella organisation of city lawyers – no Christian or Muslim lawyer is ready to take on the defence in the murder of 12 year-old Shazia Bashir, it was reported yesterday by The Pakistani Christian association that deals with legal assistance.

The shame of Islam: over 200 so-called 'honour killings are committed in EU-candidate Turkey every year

More human development excellence from Moderate, Secular Turkey™. We really don’t know why the EU just doesn’t drop all formalities and let them in immediately:

The father and grandfather of a 16-year-old Turkish girl will face trial for burying her alive because she had developed friendships with boys.

The body of Medine Memi was found in a sitting position with her hands tied in a 6ft hole dug underneath a chicken coop outside her family’s home in Kahta, south eastern Turkey, 40 days after she had been reported missing.

According to a post mortem examination, a large amount of soil in her lungs and stomach revealed that she had been buried while conscious and suffered a slow and agonising death. Read the rest of this entry »

Female homicide bomber who, along with two others, killed 24 and injured 17 during a Shia Muslim festival in Baghdad in 2008

As JTAC, the UK Counter-terrorism body, raised its threat-level status to ‘Severe’ this week, amid UK and US intelligence sources warning of the possibility of the attackers being Yemen-trained women:

Al-Qaeda terror cells have trained a group of female suicide bombers to attack Western targets, US officials have warned. The women, who may have a “non Arab” appearance and be travelling on Western passports, have been prepared for their missions by the Yemeni group responsible for the operation to blow up an airliner over the United States on Christmas Day.

Details of the bombers emerged just hours after British spy chiefs raised the UK threat state to “severe” amid fears that al-Qaeda was planning a wave of attacks against western targets.

Terror experts within the Joint Terrorism Analysis Centre, a unit of MI5, now believe that an attack against the UK is “highly likely”. Read the rest of this entry »

UKIP Leader Lord Malcolm Pearson: the niqab and burka should face a total ban in Britain

The Times is reporting that British political party UKIP is to call for a ban on the niqab and the burka. We can just see it now - ‘UKIP Go To Hell’.

UKIP have been Un:dhimmi’s favourite party for a long time. Who wouldn’t want a fem-tent-free Britain and blessed release from the spendthrift, unelected, unaccountable mandarins of the EUSSR?

There’d also almost certainly be a strong relationship with Geert Wilders and the PVV. What a bonus. And if all that weren’t enough, the move has also got up the nose of the British branch of the Muslim Brotherhood Muslim Council of Britain:

“UKIP is supposed to be proud of Britain’s traditions and values, which include freedom or speech, association and religion. The overwhelming majority of women who wear the burka do so out of a sense of religious duty. It is their interpretation of their religion. UKIP have no right to overrule that. It is nobody else’s business.” – Inayat Bunglawala, Assistant General Secretary, MCB

Honestly, what’s not to like?

Everything you need to know about CAIR in one cartoon..

BOSTON – A Muslim rights group is asking the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission to investigate a Massachusetts college that is banning students from wearing head coverings that obscure the face.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations says even though the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences policy is aimed at students, it would have ”a disproportionate impact on the religious rights of Muslim employees.”

The policy bans students from wearing clothing such as burqas and face veils, as well as ski masks and scarves. Read the rest of this entry »

Women in Cairo protesting, demanding legislation against sexual harassment

Are women beginning to assert themselves in Islamic societies? Perhaps.

CAIRO – The sexual harassment of women in the streets, schools and work places of the Arab world is driving them to cover up and confine themselves to their homes, said activists at the first-ever regional conference addressing the once taboo topic.

Activists from 17 countries across the region met in Cairo for a two-day conference ending Monday and concluded that harassment was unchecked across the region because laws don’t punish it, women don’t report it and the authorities ignore it.

The harassment, including groping and verbal abuse, is a daily experience women in the region face and makes them wary of going into public spaces, whether it’s the streets or jobs, the participants said. It happens regardless of what women are wearing. Read the rest of this entry »

Segregation in the swimming pool: Muslims move the Stealth Jihad to the leisure centres of Europe

Following multiple occurrences of this new Jihad front in Britan, it appears that the mediaeval segregationist mentality of the Religion of Victimology has crossed eastwards over the North Sea [hat tip: Islam in Europe]:

A group of Muslim women in Amsterdam is demanding that men be banned from the Zuiderbad pool while they’re swimming there.  The pool’s employees disagree with that. Read the rest of this entry »
