Would a kafir get such treatment in an Islamic jail? Gitmo's prisoner 'welcome pack'

The Obama administration would quickly send home six Algerians held at the military detention center at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, but for one problem: The men don’t want to go. Given the choice between repatriation and incarceration, the men choose Gitmo, according to their lawyers.

U.S. District Judge Gladys Kessler had ruled that the claims of Farhi Saeed bin Mohammed, 49, who has been held at Guantanamo Bay for more than eight years, “are of great concern.” She said the court must ensure that there is “real substance” behind any diplomatic assurances obtained by the administration that detainees repatriated to Algeria will be treated humanely.

A scene from 'humanitarian crisis' Gaza

Definitely one for the ‘You Couldn’t Make it Up’ dept. More absurdity from Hamas-controlled Gaza – and another clear indication of the suspect nature of the IslamoLeft ‘humanitarian crisis’ tag:

 Israel’s decision to ease its blockade on Gaza has had an odd effect on the region: it has apparently thrown retailers into a panic, causing them to pressure their rulers.

As a result, the Hamas terrorist organization is fighting the implementation of the crossing agreements proposed by the Palestinian Authority and Israel. This, despite years of bitter complaints from Hamas, albeit unsubstantiated, that the blockade by Israel was causing a humanitarian crisis in the region.

Hamas now says Israel’s agreement to ease the blockade is “part of the plot by Israelis, Arabs and Europeans” to topple Hamas.
According to the Gaza-based Al Ayyam newspaper, clothing retailers are claiming that rather than a lack, there is now an overabundance of selections in their market.

The problem is that since Hamas has not paid salaries [what happened to all those $billions in aid? Ed], there are few customers available to buy the goods. Full story at Arutz Sheva.

Don't frown Fabio, it wasn't you. Nor, apparently, was it your band of overpaid Sunday League flops - it was the will of Allah!

Iran says its enemies deserved to crash out of World Cup, Foreign Minister Mottaki tells reporters, ‘Countries which played key role in imposing new sanctions against Iran—like England, America and France — got what they deserved in soccer tournament’

The elimination of England, France and the United States in the early stages of the World Cup was a just reward for their ill-treatment of Iran, its foreign minister said on Tuesday.

Iran did not qualify for the tournament in South Africa but fans have been glued to their televisions nonetheless in a country where soccer is the number one sport. Read the rest of this entry »

Mahira Rustam al-Azawi - Iraqi asylum seeker jailed for three years in massive benefits fraud

Not to mention a university education for herself and private schooling for her son. More celebration of diversity and enjoyment of the fruits of Cultural Enrichment™, this time from Britain’s ‘ethical’ asylum policy:

An asylum seeker bought three homes and sent her son to a fee-paying school by illegally claiming more than £700,000 in benefits, a court heard.

Mahira Rustam Al-Azawi, 49, used a series of false identities to milk Britain’s lax benefit system over eight years. Although she never worked, she was able to purchase three properties – two of which she rented out – worth in excess of £1million.

Her 18-year-old son was educated at Colfe’s School, in South-East London, where fees are currently £4,164 a term. Read the rest of this entry »
