 Canada Raids, Designates Hamas-Tied Charity

“IRFAN-Canada has knowingly financed Hamas … for many years,” Public Safety Minister Steven Blaney said Tuesday. “The well intentioned and charitable Canadians who sought to support humanitarian relief through this organization deserve better.”
A Canadian foreign fighter in Syria taunted the “evil, despotic and Zionist Harper government” on Wednesday, claiming it was losing the battle against extremism and that fighting jihad was becoming “as Canadian as maple syrup.” In a blog post, Abu Dujana al-Muhajir, part of a small circle of Calgary youths who left for Syria to join armed extremist groups, said “so-called radical Islamists” were gaining in popularity and the number of Canadian jihadists was growing.

Raheel Raza’s response to the Sheema Khan attack on ‘Honor Diaries’ that the Globe & Mail refused to publish

 

We can only start to resolve a problem by first exposing it and this is what Honor Diaries does, if Ms. Khan had taken the time to see the full documentary. Ms. Khan’s sentence “Western civilization good. Muslims kill for honour. Muslims bad.” is definitely her own paranoia. How long will we sweep these problems facing Muslim women, under the rug? We live in a time when hide and seek is an obsolete game.

SUPPORT SALIM MANSUR!
Salim is a candidate that Ontario needs to have in government – if only to speak for the majority of us who are totally fed up with the status quo. In a predicted minority government, the power of a single member can be tremendous. Please help to make Salim that difference! For those of you who may not have received this – I urge you to read it, to visit Salim’s web site and to contribute in any way you can.

SALIM RECENTLY WINS THE ERIC HOFFER AWARD FOR HIS BOOK: “MULTICULTURALISM; A DELECTIBLE  LIE”

Each year, the Eric Hoffer Award for books presents the Montaigne Medal to the most thought-provoking book(s). These are books that either illuminate, progress, or redirect thought. The Montaigne Medal is given in honor of the great French philosopher Michel de Montaigne, who influenced people such as William Shakespeare, René Descartes, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Friedrich Nietzsche, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, and Eric Hoffer. This is an additional distinction beneath the Eric Hoffer Award umbrella. Isn't it interesting that the panel of judges who made this decision to award the book are Americans, and that an American award was given to a book whose subject is of particular and immediate concern for Canadians.

UNITED STATES
Amazon now urged to Backlist ‘Haters’

For many years, the Southern Poverty Law Center has labeled groups with values it doesn’t tolerate as “hate groups,” but now the organization is taking its attacks a step further, demanding Amazon and PayPal blacklist bloggers and websites that don’t fall in line with its leftist agenda.
Renowned Islam expert Robert Spencer, whose Jihad Watch monitor on Islamic radicalism was targeted, said it shows “the desperate insecurity of the left: even at a time when they control the government, the media, and the entertainment industry, they have to strike out against the small, under-financed voices of truth that challenge their hegemony.”
Yes, ICANN
Recently, the Obama Administration announced that it would transfer its oversight of internet domain management to a yet-to-be-named international multi-stakeholder.  Many are concerned that this will lead to the suppression of speech in capitulation to the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) and other free speech tyrants.
Currently, there is bipartisan concern that US relinquishment of domain oversight will have negative consequences for freedom of speech.   The Wall Street Journal referred to it as “America’s internet surrender.”  Newt Gingrich warned that “every American should worry about Obama giving up control of the internet to an undefined group. This is very, very dangerous.” 
Benghazi is not an ordinary scandal — it involves an act of war in which our ambassador, the representative of the United States in Libya, was murdered (along with three other Americans) under circumstances where security was appallingly inadequate for political reasons, and where the administration did not just lie about what happened but actually trumped up a prosecution that violated the First Amendment in order to bolster the lie. 


Hollywood Stars Call For Brunei Boycott Over Sharia Law
The legendary Beverly Hills Hotel is owned by the government of Brunei, which has just begun to implement harsh sharia law. As Clarion Project previously reported, as of April 1, the first phase of sharia law went into effect in the country. Eventually, punishments including the stoning to death for the crimes of adultery, homosexuality and blasphemy and the amputation of limbs for theft will be implemented
British billionaire Richard Branson, owner of the Virgin Group, said in a tweet: "No @virgin employee, nor our family, will stay at Dorchester Hotels until the Sultan abides by basic human rights." 
Obama the Jihadist


Let us start by considering the results of Obama’s Middle East policy. He supported Islamic jihadists in overthrowing Qaddafi in Libya. Libya is now a terrorist state. He supported the so called “Arab Spring” in Egypt, which resulted in a Muslim Brotherhood terrorist state in Egypt. When the people of Egypt rose up to overthrow this oppressive government, Obama continued to voice support for the jihadists. Then, Obama tried to involve us in a Syrian conflict in support of “rebels” who are primarily led by Al Qaeda. In fact, prior to his death, Ambassador Stevens was being used by the administration to supply arms to the Al Qaeda forces in Syria. When it comes to Iran, Obama has done nothing to prevent that terrorist state from developing nuclear capability. There is evidence that the White House has been infiltrated by the Muslim Brotherhood, which is a terrorist organization. In summary, the Obama Middle East policy has been to assist Islamic terrorists where ever they can.

Hillary and the Face of Terror
The poverty-causes-Jihadism myth is itself an evolution of the original poverty-causes-suicide-bombings myth, or poverty-causes-terrorism-in-general, which became a Leftist cause celeb in 2005 with the publication of agitprop Robert Pape’s “Dying to Win”; itself nothing more than an excuse to attack the Bush Administration, and by extension the “Global War on Terror” and the Iraq War and blame them instead on the United States and capitalism/income inequality.  In other words, a political agenda/Leftist Politics, masquerading as scholarship.

NIGERIA AND BOKO HARAM
Perhaps if the “moderate” muslims of CAIR had been speaking out about Boko Haram and not trying to silence those who did try to warn the world about them, more than a hundred young girls might not be waiting to be sold into slavery today.

Boko Haram and the Kidnapped Schoolgirls

The kidnapping of the schoolgirls throws into bold relief a central part of what the jihadists are about: the oppression of women. Boko Haram sincerely believes that girls are better off enslaved than educated. The terrorists' mission is no different from that of the Taliban assassin who shot and nearly killed 15-year-old Pakistani Malala Yousafzai—as she rode a school bus home in 2012—because she advocated girls' education. As I know from experience, nothing is more anathema to the jihadists than equal and educated women.

 Boko Haram and Islamic Rape 

Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb has ties with Boko Haram and a well-developed set of networks for smuggling arms, narcotics and contraband.  Considering that slavery has survived in many parts of the region, Boko Haram has probably just given the institution of slavery a shot in the arm and stumbled into a new-money maker for themselves.
Beyond this, Boko Haram has the ego-boost that all terrorists crave:  Desperate parents, anxious government officials and attempts to ‘negotiate’ for ‘hostages’ are all grist for that particular mill.
Did Hillary refuse to designate Boko Haram as a terrorist organization?
Boko Haram has wreaked havoc in Nigeria and portions of surrounding nations since 2009, when the Nigerian government tried to crack down on their arms-gathering operations. The group of Islamist terrorists had been known for much of that time to have ties to al-Qaeda, both ideological and tactical. Hundreds, perhaps thousands died in terrorist attacks from 2009 to 2013, many of them targeted for their Christianity. And yet, not until November 2013 did the US finally list Boko Haram as a terrorist group.
Why? We should ask Hillary Clinton. Josh Rogin at The Daily Beast reported last night that the State Department was asked repeatedly during her tenure as Secretary of State to add it to their list of terrorist organizations — but refused to do so:

After Nigerian outrage, Muslims must renounce Sharia Laws that permit treating female POWs as Sex Slaves

 “We Muslims have a choice. We either develop the maturity to say, such Islamic injunctions do not apply anymore, or we can keep on driving fast-forward in reverse gear, and every time we hit an obstacle that appears in our blind spot, we can blame it on ‘Islamophobia’.”

ISRAEL

BDS Movement: Barbarians Inside the Gates - Part I

Germans wiped out a people who had helped make Germany great. Jewish professors, teachers, musicians, writers, businessmen, and psychiatrists were first boycotted, then shot, then gassed -- and by the war's end, Germany, which had been a prosperous nation, stood in ruins, utterly bereft of any culture to speak of, its erstwhile leaders dead or on trial for war crimes, its people in rags, its much-vaunted superiority in tatters, and its greatest "enemies" -- the Jews -- on the verge of creating what is now one of the most successful nations on earth.
The Nazis invented the Jewish boycott -- and went on from there to the Holocaust.This is the wrong boycott in the wrong place at the wrong time.

BDS Movement: Barbarians Inside the Gates - Part II

Despite a hatred for America -- and a perverse love of Iran, Hezbollah, and the PLO -- we come back to the Israeli exception, to the singling out of just one country. However charitable we may try to be, it is hard not to detect the reek of anti-Semitism. Am I being unfair? To people who marched through the streets of European cities chanting, "Hamas, Hamas, Jews to the gas," (and here and here at Dutch football matches) was that just simple folly -- or proof of intention?

MISCELLANEOUS
Islam and Violence: Revisited
The dramatic turn of world events at the dawn of the twenty-first century — including the collapse of the Oslo Peace process in September of 2000 in the face of a renewed and ongoing cycle of violence in the Middle East; the terrorist attacks on the United States of America a year later in September 2001, and the Bush administration’s subsequent “enduring” war on terrorism in Afghanistan and Iraq – have all served to reinforce the widespread perception that Islam is in some special way linked to terrorist violence. Even conventional academic perspectives regard Islam as having a predilection for violence. According to this view, Islam is defined as inherently violent and one of the primary sources of contemporary violence in the world.

“The militants took the tourists hostage because they sought to negotiate the release of their brethren who had been arrested in Yemen, where Abu Hamza’s son and stepson were making trouble around the same time.” Abu Hamza told them that the practice was justified in Islamic law. And indeed, kidnapping infidels and either killing them, enslaving them, ransoming them or exchanging them for Muslim prisoners, or releasing them outright is fully sanctioned in Islamic law:

Year after year, Muslims and Islamic organizations have managed to push for still more Islamization of our cultures. Their main tool for this is their world famous, embarrassing tendency to take offense at virtually anything. It is shocking to witness how our secular authorities continue to submit to Muslims’ often childish and threatening way of expressing this completely subjective emotion. The result has been a sleepwalk towards still more implementation of the hateful, racist, homophobic, anti-Semitic, misogynic Sharia, that the UN and The European Court of Human Rights has condemned as being against human rights and “the antithesis” of democracy.

We will never defeat Islam by emails, books and web pages. We must enter the public marketplace of ideas, including demonstrations.

Islamophobia is an imaginary mental disorder. Fear of Islam is a reality-based awareness.
