As we first reported back in October, the ‘building permit Jihad’- the religious cleansing of Christians practised by Muslims in Indonesia – shows no sign of abating; and indeed is clearly becoming more widespread:

Hundreds of Muslims from outside the area where a 600-member church meets in West Java staged a protest there to call for its closure this month in an attempt to portray local opposition.

Demonstrators from 16 Islamic organizations, including the hard-line Islamic Defenders Front (FPI), gathered on Feb. 15 to demand a stop to all activities by the Galilea Protestant Church (GPIB) in the Galaxy area of Bekasi City.

The Rev. M. Tetelepta, pastor of the church, told Compass that the church has had the required consent of local residents and official permission to worship since its inception in 1992. Read the rest of this entry »

Threats and harassment are becoming increasingly commonplace for Jewish residents in Malmö in southern Sweden, leading many Jews to leave the city out of fear for their safety.

“Threats against Jews have increased steadily in Malmö in recent years and many young Jewish families are choosing to leave the city,” Fredrik Sieradzki of the Jewish Community of Malmö (Judiska Församlingen i Malmö) told The Local.

“Many feel that the community and local politicians have shown a lack of understanding for how the city’s Jewish residents have been marginalised.”

Last year there were 79 crimes against Jewish residents reported to the police in Malmö, roughly double the number reported in 2008, according to the Skånska Dagbladet newspaper. Read the rest of this entry »

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.

Shocked - Shocked! ‘Tell me it ain’t so’ Dept:

The European Court of Human Rights said it issued 2,395 rulings in 2009, an increase of 27 percent from the previous year, with Turkey and Russia as the biggest offenders, according to annual figures released Thursday.

Judges issued 341 rulings against Turkey, more than 200 of them concerning the workings of its national courts and 30 following complaints of inhuman or degrading treatment.

Russia remained in second place with 210 rights violations, including three for torture and 84 for inhuman treatment – mostly from war-torn Chechnya.

Russia is also by far the biggest source of complaints with 28 percent. The foreign ministry in Moscow says many these relate to conditions in jails and abuses committed by government forces in Chechnya.

The Russian parliament has just voted to ratify a key protocol that allows reforms streamlining the Strasbourg court to go ahead.

The protocol had been blocked by Moscow lawmakers in 2006 amid complaints that the court was anti-Russian.

Europe’s top rights court is battling to come to grips with an increasing workload that soared by nearly a quarter last year. The number of pending cases at the Strasbourg tribunal rose by 23 percent to 119,300, the court said in its annual report.

The European Court of Human Rights, which celebrated its 50th anniversary last year, can be appealed to by 818 million people in the 47-country Council of Europe if they feel their national courts have failed.

From the country whose Prime Minister is currently issuing almost hourly lectures to Israel (a free and democratic country whose large Muslim Arab population enjoys standards of governance and rights completely unheard of in any Islamic country); comes this salutory lesson embodied by the ancient, advisory proverb inolving people, glass houses and stone-throwing.

Taste the sweet irony, Tayyip Bey.

Hundreds of Christians, Hindus, Jews, Sikhs and others turned out in support of Egypt’s violently persecuted Copts in New York this week.

There was one exception. Obviously. (From The Religion of Peace). More Photos below the fold.

Apparently, Muslims have taken to the streets of Jakarta today to protest at  Egypt’s efforts to assist Israel in the prevention of weapons smuggling via border tunnels:

More than 200 Indonesian Muslims protested in Jakarta Sunday against an underground wall being built to block a network of tunnels crossing Egypt’s border with the Gaza Strip.

The demonstrators from the Voice of Palestine support group carried banners reading “Stop Building Steel Wall on Gaza” and chanted “Die America, Die Egypt” in front of the Egyptian embassy.

After years of ignoring the tunnel smuggling — which is used to bypass Israeli sanctions — Egypt began building the wall after falling out with Hamas, the Islamist movement which rules Gaza.

“We demand Egypt to remove the wall on humanitarian grounds. Erecting the wall will cause the Palestinians to suffer economically. Food supply will be affected,” the group’s coordinator, Hisyam Sulaiman, 42, told AFP.

The network, which Hamas has been accused of using to smuggle weapons into the territory, has withstood Israeli air strikes and Egyptian attempts to flood the tunnels with water and gas.

Citing national security, Egypt is now building an underground iron wall in a bid to tighten its Sinai border with the restive Palestinian territory.

The United States has voiced its support for the wall’s construction, saying it will stop arms smuggling.Indonesia, the world’s most populous Muslim nation, with 234 million people, is a strong supporter of the Palestinian cause.

We can’t help wondering whether these Jakartans, apparently protesting ‘economic suffering’ (in an area that is one of the worlds largest recipients of foreign aid and donations), were the same Indonesian Muslims that conspire to have churches closed down enlisting the help of sympathetic bureucrats, or just go in and smash them up?

The incisive and witty British atheistic comedian and social commentator Pat Condell fires a bang-on-target RPG at Labour’s window-dressing of the Anjem Choudary/Wooton Basset/al-Muhajiroun ‘ban’ fiasco:

This piece from the Washington Times confirms a belief that we’ve always maintained on this blog – that in spite of the the constant, emotive whining from leftists and Islamists, claims that “the West is killing hundreds of thousands of inncocent Muslims” are nonsense. The biggest killers of Muslims in the world today are… other Muslims:

Taliban suicide bombings and other attacks caused Afghan civilian deaths to soar last year to the highest annual level in the war, the United States said Wednesday, while deaths attributed to allied forces dropped nearly 30 percent – a key U.S. goal for winning over the Afghan people.

Insurgent attacks mainly were aimed at government or international military forces but often were carried out in crowded areas, the U.N. said in a report. Read the rest of this entry »

A church in Malaysia has been fire-bombed in an attack that gutted its ground floor, church officials said Friday, escalating a dispute over the use of the word “Allah” by non-Muslims.

A fire department official said all stations were on alert for more blazes at religious buildings, ahead of planned nationwide protests Friday by Muslim groups angry over the use of the word as a translation for “God” by Christians.

The three-storey Metro Tabernacle church in suburban Kuala Lumpur, part of the Assemblies of God movement, was set ablaze in the attack which took place around midnight, said church leader Peter Yeow, 62. Read the rest of this entry »

The court trial of a hotel-owning British couple who were charged with ‘hate speech’ after a Muslim guest complained to police following a discussion on Islam, is scheduled to begin today.

Our thoughts are with Ben and Sharon Vogelenzang who are facing personal and professional ruin due to the dhimmi Labour government’s assault on the principle of free speech – and we will keep you updated on their progress.
