An unfortunate but prosaic situation – yet at the same time, a highly symbolic reminder of EU Candidate Turkey’s recent slide into Islamism:

It seems that these days, everything stops for Allah:

The Turkish Health Ministry has launched an investigation after a patient waited at the door of an X-ray service in a hospital, which was closed for half an hour at the time for fast-breaking.

Mustafa Mor’s car went off the road and crashed into a tree in the Nizip district of the southern province of Gaziantep. Bekir Karabacak, a passerby, took him and his cousin, who has the same name and was a passenger in the vehicle, to the Nizip Public Hospital. The doctors thought that the passenger Mor might have had a broken leg and sent him to the X-ray service. Read the rest of this entry »

Show this one to your moral-equivalence-spouting lefty friends…

Incontrovertible evidence of the real intention behind the Turkish-led Gaza ‘aid’ flotilla. Watch as the baying Islamic mob literally lynch the IDF boarders. You will clearly see them being struck by, among other weapons, metal poles and chairs.

So this is their ‘peaceful convoy? Islam, the Left and violence. Inseparable.

See video above as Israeli Navy officers plead with the ‘aid’ Flotilla to comply with instructions to deliver their cargo via Ashdod port. Boarding parties were reportedly met with a lynch mob armed with guns and knives.

So much for all the ‘we will not use resort to violent resistance’ crap from the Islamo-left ‘flotilla’ alliance:

Armed Navy ships escorted boats from the Gaza protest flotilla to Ashdod [where they should have gone originally, had delivering humanitarian aid been their genuine objective - Ed] on Monday afternoon, hours after IDF soldiers and activists clashed in a fatal raid.

International activists aboard the ships opened fire on IDF soldiers who boarded the ships to prevent them from breaking the Israeli-imposed sea blockade, the IDF said Monday. Read the rest of this entry »

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.
