Iraq’s biggest dam is at risk of a catastrophic failure which could put 1.5million at risk, experts have warned.
The
Mosul hydro-electric dam is built on soil which erodes when exposed to
water and needs to be injected with grout to keep it stable.
But
essential repairs stopped when it was captured by Islamic State in
August 2014 and have not resumed despite being retaken by Iraqi forces
just two weeks later.

Engineers
fear that it could crack, unleashing a tidal wave of water up to 65
feet (20 metres) high coursing downstream to the city of Mosul and then
on to Baghdad.
Now both Iraqi and US authorities have issued the strongest warnings to date about the safety of the dam.
The US embassy in Iraq issued a statement saying: 'We have no specific information that indicates when a breach might occur.
'But
out of an abundance of caution, we would like to underscore that prompt
evacuation offers the most effective tool to save lives of the hundreds
of thousands of Iraqis living in the most dangerous part of the flood
path in the event of a breach.'
The
embassy also said in the event that there is a breach of the water,
500,000 to 1.5million Iraqis living along the Tigris River may not
survive.
They added that people in both Mosul and Tikrit would have to move up to four miles away from the riverbank to reach safety.

Both Iraqi and US authorities have issued the strongest warnings to date about the safety of the dam
Residents
living further downstream in Samarra, where the flood wave could
overwhelm a smaller dam and the water would spread out, would in some
cases have to flee as far as 10 miles.
A contingency plan said large parts of Baghdad would also be flooded, including the international airport.
It
pointed out that many areas most affected by the flood wave are either
controlled by ISIS or contested, making a state-directed evacuation
unlikely.
'Some
evacuees may not have freedom of movement sufficient to escape,' it
said, adding that the sick, disabled and elderly could end up being left
behind.
The
study said the disaster could shut down the entire Iraqi electricity
grid, durably damage much of the country's best farmland and leave the
capital flooded for weeks.
Italian
firm Trevi has been selected to carry out crucial repair work on the
Mosul Dam, which is currently protected by Kurdish Peshmerga forces.
The
Iraqi government has consistently sought to play down the danger posed
by the Mosul Dam, but the US has been alarmed by the potential for
disaster.
The Mosul project was beset by problems from the very start as it was built on a bed of highly soluble gysum.
There
were even problems during its construction in 1984. But engineers
devised a plan to inject grout into the structure to stabilise it.
The dam is currently protected by the Kurdish Peshmerga.

Residents of Calais demonstrate in the city centre against the lack of action by the French Government
In early September 1999, on a combined business/pleasure trip to
Europe, I had my one and only opportunity to cross the English Channel
on a hovercraft from Dover to Calais. However, since the hovercraft Princess Margaret and Princess Anne were temporarily out of service, it became necessary to cross the channel aboard the Seacat Great Britain from Folkstone, south of Dover, to Boulogne on the French seacoast, some 30 miles south of Calais.
Arriving in Calais on a Sunday afternoon, we found the Avis rental
car agency at the Calais train station was closed for the day. However,
the manager of Avis's Calais office was kind enough to interrupt his
day off long enough for us to obtain our reserved rental car. It also
gave us a few hours to tour the town centre of that beautifully restored
city that was all but leveled during World War II.
But life in Calais
has changed dramatically in the past fifteen years and it is unlikely,
given local conditions, that Avis or Hertz still maintains rental
agencies in Calais.
On January 4, 2016 I published a column questioning whether we are
now witnessing the end of European civilization. In that column, I
questioned how people in the U.S. and Europe would respond to the
bloodshed that is certain to occur when millions of well-armed muhajirs
flood into Europe. When asked by German journalist Jurgen Todenhofer
if ISIS was prepared to kill every Shiite Muslim on Earth, ISIS leader
Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi scoffed, "One-hundred fifty million or 500 million,
we don't care; it's only a technical problem for us. We are ready to
do that."
So if ISIS considers the difference between killing 150 million or
500 million Shia to be a mere "technicality," how will the people of
Europe handle a full-scale onslaught by such people? Will they be
prepared to do whatever is necessary to save European civilization, or
are they simply too war weary from having two world wars fought on their
soil to even defend themselves? The answer to that question becomes
clearer with each passing day, and nowhere do we see a greater example
of European spinelessness than in present-day Calais. To illustrate, I
will quote a recent speech by a French housewife named Simone, a
lifelong resident of Calais.
She
said: "My name is Simone, and I live in Calais. I am a native
Calaisienne. My parents were also... I have always lived there and
Calais used to be a very nice town... We had peace, we had security, and
there were always a lot of people about in summer and in winter..."
Then she went on to describe how former Interior Minister Nicolas
Sarkozy had decided to close the nearby Sangatte refugee camp, causing
the inhabitants to descend upon Calais. She said, "Even I, at the
beginning, I said they are unhappy people. They are lost. They have
nothing. Maybe we could help them. And I cannot tell you how it
happened from one day to the next, but we soon found ourselves with
thousands. I say thousands of migrants... actually, at the moment,
there are 18,000 in what they call the ‘Jungle.' Yes, 18,000.
"It's terrible because they really made a city within the city. They have discotheques, shops,
schools, hairdressers. They even have... er... no, I cannot say it but I think you understand... for
the needs of the gentlemen, of course. They made roads; they gave
names to these streets. They elected a mayor. Yet, the police cannot
enter what they call the ‘Muslim part.' It is prohibited.
"Until then, we could perhaps have been able to bear it, but one
cannot bear the unbearable. When one sees that, incessantly, every day,
every night, there are riots. They come to the town centre... two,
three, four thousand, everywhere. They bash cars with iron rods, they
attack people. They even attack children. There are rapes, there is
theft, it is unimaginable what we suffer. They enter private houses
when people are at home. They just enter; they want to eat; they help
themselves. Sometimes they also bash the people, stealing what they
can, and afterwards, what they cannot take they destroy. And when we
want to defend ourselves we have the police on our backs. The police
have not accepted any complaints for a long time.
"My own son has been attacked. He was walking quietly in the city
centre. He was listening to his music. He had the earphones in his
ears when someone tapped him on the shoulder. He turned around,
thinking it was one of his friends. Instead, he was facing three clandestins
(illegals) and he took a big blow to the face with an iron bar. My son
is quite strong, so he managed to defend himself and the three took
some blows. But then he heard some noise. There were about thirty
migrants who came to massacre him. As he is no kamikaze, he fled. When I saw my son come home like that, frankly, I told myself they could have killed him...
"They attack children when they return from school, or when they go
to school or to the college.
They go so far as to take the school
buses, enter the school bus with the children. On January 23rd
they started a big riot in Calais. It was terrible... They went as far
as attacking the statue of General De Gaulle. They wrote on it, ‘F_ _ _
France,' with the ISIS flag underneath... They demonstrate because of
their conditions, but the more one gives them the more they demand...
"I loved very much to go to what I call the ‘grave' of my son... it's
at the sea. I lost my son and we put his ashes into the sea. It was
his wish; I respected his wish. I said to my husband in the evening,
‘Take me to the grave of my son. I need it. I cannot do it any longer
because even just to cross the town centre of Calais you put yourself in
danger. In the evening, as soon as it gets dark, one is in danger. I
cannot go there any longer, where I loved to go. I cannot any more
(sobbing), it's not possible. I am afraid. I'm afraid and there are
many like us in Calais...
"The government has abandoned us. They have decided to make of
Calais a (wasteland), and if we don't move we will be burdened with all
the migrants of France here and we are finished. We are dead. And the
Calaisians are like sheep. I don't understand them. Yesterday I was in
that (anti-Islam) demonstration; I was in the middle of it with my
husband, my son, and friends. And there was General (Christian)
Piquemal... And what I saw yesterday I won't hide it from you. I could
not sleep all night because I have reviewed the scene incessantly.
They did not talk about it on the TV, the radio, not even in the
newspapers. We saw him arrested, manhandled like a thief. He who,
after all, is a French icon, an image of France who deserves respect and
all the honours due to his rank. Like a thug, we saw him pushed to the
ground. The policeman put his foot on his neck. I promise you. We saw
it.
"Even the merchants have lost 40-60 percent of their income, whereas before, Calais was a flourishing
city; it was lively, animated, gay. There were always foreigners
during the summer holidays and at the end-of-year celebrations. Today,
there is nothing left. All the shops that had opened in the centre of
town have closed down, one after the other. Calais is a dead town...
And when they come into town armed with their iron bars and their
Molotov cocktails, watch out.
"And let's speak about Madame Bouchart, the Mayor of Calais (hisses
and boos). I will tell you what I call her. I call her ‘the slug.'
Yes, because the longer it is since she was elected mayor of Calais, the
fatter she gets. And frankly, she does nothing for the residents of
Calais. She got millions of Euros in assistance for the residents of
Calais. It was for helping the Calaisians, to help them in finding
employment. The first thing she organized was the construction of
containers to house the migrants. She had them made in Brittany, not
even in Calais. The only jobs she created in Calais... I know it
because I have a friend who was offered one... were fifty jobs to clean
up the crap left by the migrants... Voila! The jobs proposed by Mme.
Bouchart.
"And now there is something more: the ‘No Borders' (organization).
It is the worst rabble you can have because they are the ones who push
the illegals we have in Calais to create havoc. Let's call it ‘screw
things up,' but it's much worse than that. They are at the four corners
of town with their walkie-talkies giving orders. I have seen the riot
police retreat before the migrants. This made me cry because I told
myself that's not normal. It's not normal. We are in our homes, we are in our country, we are in our
town. The riot police should rather order the migrants to step back,
and not the reverse. So they demonstrate because they want €2,000
pocket money per month... They want a car, and also a house, of course.
"Let's speak about houses. When we see that Mme. Bouchart has
evicted people from their homes in Calais, which were close to the zone
of ‘Les Dunes,' because it was not viable for them. Because the
migrants were too close, they suffered attacks, theft, and more. She
has evicted them even though they paid their rent. Even I, they are
evicting me from my house next month. They are taking my house from me,
and yet we have always been honest. But it's too long a story. There
was a judgment and they will sell my house next month, when there is
nothing we can be reproached with.
"My husband is sick; he has cancer... but never mind. The French
have to be crushed, they have to be evicted. One has to take everything
from them to leave the space for the rabble who want to colonize us.
And they tell us these are ‘cultural enrichments' for us. I ask myself
where their cultural riches are. Because if it is to sack, to destroy,
to steal, to rape, and so on, the French were fully capable of doing it
themselves. One only has to ask..."
With an all-out, no-holds-barred effort by the civilized world, the
forces of ISIS can be utterly destroyed. But even if we are able to
achieve that result, we must also understand that this will not be the
end of the matter. Even if Islam is temporarily chastened by the loss
of millions, they will lick their wounds for a time and then they'll be
back with even greater bloodlust than before.
The 18,000 Muslims who now clog the French end of the Chunnel at
Calais want nothing more than to find their way into England where Islam
has a major foothold... a foothold that is nothing more than a jumping
off point for the U.S. What is now happening in Calais will soon happen
in U.S. cities such as Dearborn and Hamtramck. Are we prepared for
that, or does political correctness demand that we continue to hope for
Muslim "moderation?" You be the judge.
Paul Hollrah is a Senior Fellow at the Lincoln Heritage Institute.
Anyone could have and should have seen this coming. But no one in power cared to do so.
Last February, the Islamic State boasted it would soon flood Europe with as many as 500,000 refugees. And the Lebanese Education Minister recently said that there were 20,000 jihadis among the refugees in camps in his country. Meanwhile, 80% of migrants who have recently come to Europe claiming to be fleeing the war in Syria aren’t really from Syria at all.
So why are they claiming to be Syrian and streaming into Europe, and now the U.S. as well? An Islamic State operative
gave the answer when he boasted in September, shortly after the migrant
influx began, that among the flood of refugees, 4,000 Islamic State
jihadis had already entered Europe. He explained their purpose: “It’s
our dream that there should be a caliphate not only in Syria but in all
the world, and we will have it soon, inshallah.” These Muslims were
going to Europe in the service of that caliphate: “They are going like
refugees,” he said, but they were going with the plan of sowing blood
and mayhem on European streets. As he told this to journalists, he
smiled and said, “Just wait.” We are waiting in the U.S. as well.
“Nato commander: Isis ‘spreading like cancer’ among refugees,” by Alan Yuhas, Guardian, March 1, 2016:
Refugees from the Middle East and north Africa are
“masking the movement” of terrorists and criminals, Nato’s top commander
told Congress on Tuesday, despite the protests of human rights groups
who say that refugees overwhelmingly have no ulterior motive but escape.
In testimony to the Senate armed services committee, US general
Philip Breedlove said that the Islamic State terror group is “spreading
like a cancer” among refugees. The group’s members are “taking advantage
of paths of least resistance, threatening European nations and our
own”, he added.
Breedlove also blamed Russia’s bombing campaign in Syria, in support
of autocratic leader Bashar al-Assad, for having “wildly exacerbated the
problem”.
The airstrikes, nominally against Isis but largely against the
various rebel groups arrayed against Assad, have allegedly killed more
than 1,000 civilians, including children. Breedlove said these
indiscriminate attacks mean to terrorize Syrians and “get them on the
road” toward neighboring countries and Europe.
The Kremlin and Assad intend, according to Breedlove, to use
migration as a weapon to weaken European unity and infrastructure. The
general said that European nationalist groups that oppose immigration
also weaken the continent, and could themselves threaten violence.
Since taking command in 2013, Breedlove has pushed for an aggressive
refortification of Europe, calling Russia a “long-term existential
threat” to the US, and suggested Europe and the US should do more to
counter Assad and Isis in Syria.
Pressed by reporters to back up his assertion with statistics,
Breedlove said: “I can’t give you a number on the estimate of the flow.”
Breedlove distinguished between “criminality, terrorist and foreign
fighters”, and said that he has seen news reports saying as many as
1,500 fighters have returned to Europe.
“I’m not going to talk to you about intelligence,” he said at a news
conference, adding that “many [countries] are saying they see planning
happening” for a terrorist attack.
Thinktank and congressional estimates of how many foreign fighters
have traveled to Syria vary widely, with 1,500 toward the higher end of
numbers of fighters reported to have returned to western nations….
Long, talk drink of failure John Kerry is on his second failed
ceasefire in Syria in a matter of weeks. And he's got a bold new plan
for dealing with the fact that everyone is still shooting up Syria. Don't ask, don't tell.
John Kerry said on Monday he had agreed with his Russian counterpart
not to discuss alleged violations of a cessation of hostilities plan in
Syria... Speaking at a news conference with German Foreign Minister
Frank-Walter Steinmeier, Kerry said he had talked with Russian Foreign
Minister Sergei Lavrov and agreed not to "litigate ... in a public
fashion" the reports of violations on both sides.
So the plan is for Russia to keep violating the ceasefire while Kerry
and the Europeans refuse to mention it. This is pure genius. They've
really got Putin on the run now.
This will be followed by a
bold plan to ignore any Iranian violations of the nuclear deal and just
hold more negotiations to create a mechanism for privately resolving any
violations.
And people said that John Kerry was unqualified to get a cup of
coffee, let alone be America's top diplomat. I bet that Kerry could get a
cup of coffee almost without burning himself. But the ceasefire that
isn't, is producing all sorts of unintended results.
Over the past month, the Kremlin has turned up the dial once again in its low intensity war in Ukraine’s east.
In September 2015, when the Kremlin decided to intervene in Syria, it
reduced the violence in the Donbas and reined in local fighters who
opposed this course. Before September, ceasefire violations had averaged
70 to 80 fire incidents per day, before dropping to 30 to 40.
Can someone give Obama another Nobel Peace Prize? Maybe an even bigger
one covered in diamonds. Because he deserves it. He really does.
Two migrants have been arrested for allegedly sexually assaulting two young girls at a public swimming baths in northern Germany.

The
frightened girls alerted security staff at the pool who held the men
until police arrived. Both were arrested for attempted rape and sexual
coercion.
They
are being held in custody without bail because they are considered a
flight risk and there are fears they may commit further assaults if let
free.
This is the second alleged incident involving foreigners at the Arriba swimming pools in just 18 months.
In
June 2014, a group of seven young immigrant men attacked five
schoolgirls aged between 15 and 17, grabbing their breasts and buttocks
and ripping the bikini top from one of them in the exact same spot where
the weekend attack occurred.

Germany
has spent hundreds of thousands of pounds on the distribution of
posters in numerous languages aimed at asylum seekers, informing them of
correct behaviour towards women.
Local
swimming pools have become a focus of efforts to try to educate the new
arrivals to respect women and girls, even if they are wearing bathing
costumes.
There
have been several attacks reported in Germany at such venues and in
neighbouring Austria an Iraqi asylum seeker is awaiting trial for the
brutal rape of a young boy in a pool changing room.

remains tense in the wake of the mass attacks against hundreds of women
in Cologne on New Year's Eve when roaming bands of immigrants sexually
attacked and robbed them in a frenzy which the police failed to

Muslims commit 91 percent of honor killings worldwide.
A manual of Islamic law certified as a reliable guide to Sunni
orthodoxy by Al-Azhar University, the most respected authority in Sunni
Islam, says that “retaliation is obligatory against anyone who kills a
human being purely intentionally and without right.” However, “not
subject to retaliation” is “a father or mother (or their fathers or
mothers) for killing their offspring, or offspring’s offspring.” (‘Umdat al-Salik
o1.1-2). In other words, someone who kills his child incurs no legal
penalty under Islamic law. In this case, of course, the victim was the
murderer’s wife, a victim to the culture of violence and intimidation
that such laws help create.
The Palestinian Authority gives pardons or suspended sentences for honor murders. Iraqi women have asked for tougher sentences for Islamic honor murderers, who get off lightly now. Syria in 2009 scrapped a law
limiting the length of sentences for honor killings, but “the new law
says a man can still benefit from extenuating circumstances in crimes of
passion or honour ‘provided he serves a prison term of no less than two
years in the case of killing.’” And in 2003 the Jordanian Parliament
voted down on Islamic grounds a provision designed to stiffen penalties
for honor killings. Al-Jazeera reported that “Islamists and conservatives said the laws violated religious traditions and would destroy families and values.”
Until the encouragement Islamic law gives to honor killing is acknowledged and confronted, more women will suffer.
“Sahiwal man shoots two sisters dead in ‘honour killing,'” AFP, March 2, 2016 (thanks to Lookmann):
LAHORE: Police in Sahiwal are tracing a man who shot dead both his sisters in an apparent “honour killing”. Mohammad Asif had previously murdered his mother four or five
years ago, according to police, before being pardoned at the time by
his family and set free.
The latest killings occurred in the village of Noorshah in Sahiwal district, in the central province of Punjab.
“Mohammad Asif, who is in his late twenties, shot his two sisters
late last night because he doubted their characters and was against
their lifestyle,” local police official Allah Ditta Bhatti told AFP.
He said the sisters died on the spot while Asif fled.
“He had killed his mother around four or five years ago and was set free after his family pardoned him,” Bhatti said.
The incident was confirmed by other officials at the local police station.
On Monday a father in Lahore shot dead his 18-year-old daughter
because she could not account for where she had been for about five
hours….
Hundreds of women are murdered by their relatives in Pakistan each year on the pretext of defending family “honour”.
Pakistan amended its criminal code in 2005 to prevent men who kill
female relatives escaping punishment by pardoning themselves as an
“heir” of the victim.
But it was left to a judge’s discretion to decide whether to impose a
prison sentence when other relatives of the victim forgive the killer —
a loophole which critics say remains exploited….
Apparently Najat
Abu Bakr forgot that she is a member of the Palestinian parliament and
not the Israeli one. She and her colleagues have no right to criticize
President Abbas or any senior official in Ramallah. Such criticism is
considered an "insult" to top officials and even an act of
treason.
And so we have two
legislators. One is forced to seek shelter within her own parliament for
fear of being arrested by the Palestinian security forces. The other
receives all the rights and privileges enjoyed by her fellow Arabs
inside Israel -- in spite of her immensely provocative behavior.
That is the
difference between a law-abiding country and the Palestinian Authority,
which has been functioning for many years as a mafia.
Najat Abu Bakr and
many Palestinians dream of the day they too will have a Knesset, a true
parliament, where leaders are held accountable.
Haneen Zoabi (left) and Najat Abu Bakr (right) are
outspoken members of parliament -- Zoabi in Israel and Abu Bakr in the
Palestinian territories. That is pretty much where the similarities end.
What do Haneen Zoabi and Najat Abu Bakr have in common?
Both women are outspoken members of parliament -- Zoabi in Israel and
Abu Bakr in the Palestinian territories.
Zoabi, who hails from Nazareth, is a citizen of Israel. Abu Bakr, from
the West Bank city of Nablus, is an elected member of the Palestinian
Legislative Council (PLC), the parliament that has been effectively paralyzed
since 2007, when Hamas expelled the Palestinian Authority (PA) from the Gaza
Strip.
But outspoken participation in parliaments is pretty much where the
similarities end.
Zoabi, who resides inside Israel, lives a rather different life from her
colleague, Abu Bakr, who is a Palestinian citizen.
Zoabi, the Israeli member of parliament, is a provocateur of long
standing who regularly enrages the Jewish-Israeli public. She joined a
flotilla "aid" convoy to the Gaza Strip -- a move that left many
Israelis furious.
The project of a
"French Islam" has failed abysmally. A 2,200-page report,
"Suburbs of the Republic," concluded that Muslim immigrants in
France were increasingly rejecting French values and identity, and
instead immersing themselves in Islam. The report warned that Islamic
sharia law was displacing French civil law in many parts of suburban
Paris.
The pattern of
"importing" imams with no knowledge of the local language and
customs is the same all over Europe.
Qatar and Saudi
Arabia, where the official form of Islam is Wahhabism, are the main
financiers of mosques in Europe. Wahhabism discourages Muslim
integration in the West, but actively encourages jihad against
non-Muslims. Qatar has financed mosques in France, Italy, Ireland and
Spain, among other places, thus spreading Wahhabism across the
continent.
The Grand Mosque in Paris was assigned to Algeria's
trusteeship by the French government in 1957. Since 1982, Algeria has been
responsible for funding the Grand Mosque. (Image source: Wikimedia Commons)
Last week Austria ordered the first foreign-funded imam to be expelled
when his visa expires. The decision was made under the new provisions of an
anti-radicalization law, which Austria passed one year ago under considerable
controversy. The main aim of the law is to counter extremism by requiring
imams to speak German, and to prohibit foreign funding for mosques, imams and
Muslim organizations in Austria. It also stresses that Austrian law must take
precedence over Islamic sharia law for Muslims living in the country.

“Mark Zuckerberg has opened up about the threats made against him by

Springer. ‘There have been worse threats.’ Zuckerberg met with Döpfner
while he was in Berlin last week. Their wide-ranging interview was

“On February 27 at 5 p.m. Damascus time, a US- and Russia-brokered

Daesh, and the Islamic State — and Al Qaeda targets in Syria and Iraq
will carry on undaunted. This is evident by recent videos released from
the Combined Joint Task Force's Operation Inherent Resolve. ‘I want to

“Recent gains against the Islamic State in eastern Syria have helped
sever critical supply lines to Iraq and set the stage for what will be
the biggest fight yet against the Sunni militancy, the battle to retake
Mosul, Pentagon officials said on Monday. Gen. Joseph F. Dunford Jr., the
chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said at a Pentagon news conference
that American-backed forces had begun laying the groundwork for the fight
by moving to isolate Mosul from the Islamic State’s de facto headquarters
in Raqqa, Syria. Kurdish and Arab forces retook the town of Shaddadi in
eastern Syria last week, cutting off what Defense Secretary Ashton B.
Carter called the last major artery between Raqqa and Mosul.”

Alyoum: Accused Of Joining Fajr Libya And February 17th
Militias Gathered 6 Million Dirhams To Support Terrorism
The prosecution witness in the case of three Libyans and an American
national claimed that the four had supported terrorist organizations,
namely "February 17th" battalion and "Dawn
Libya" militia. The witness claimed that the defendants had
collected a sum of 6,480,500 dirhams (roughly $1.6 million) for the
purchase of armored vehicles and bullet-proof vests in order to dispatch
them to terrorist militias in Libya for use in terrorist operations. The
General Prosecutor's Office charged the four of providing, in 2014, two
terrorist groups – "February 17th" battalion and
"Dawn Libya" militia, both affiliated with the international
arm of the Muslim Brotherhood – with money in cash. They also aided them
in obtaining additional funds, knowing that these two organizations would
use them to finance terrorist operations. They were also charged with
supplying these groups with equipment, vehicles, communication systems,
night vision binoculars, and bullet-proof vests, in order to fulfill
their terrorist goals.

Al-Gamal: Confiscated Brotherhood Funds Used To Compensate The Victims Of
Terrorism
Judge Muhammad Hamid al-Gamal, the former President of the Egyptian
State Council, explained that the Muslim Brotherhood is banned under the
provisions of the Constitution. Based on this ban, the assets of the
group and its members are appropriated because they are being used to
carry out the Brotherhood's illicit and subversive activities.
Additionally, it was proven that some Brotherhood members were involved
in killing army and police officers as well as judges. Al-Gamal noted
that all the confiscated Brotherhood funds have been channeled for the
compensation of victims of terrorist acts carried out by the group
throughout Egypt. He stressed that belonging to the Brotherhood is
considered an offense punishable by law. The case of anyone proven to be
a member of this group or part of its financing apparatus will be tried
by the public prosecution and the judiciary system, he added. Mubasher

The Organization of Islamic Cooperation and its Role in Enforcing Islamic Law
We need to get off Saudi Barbarian OIL!!!!!Support the Canadian OIL Sands,,, and visit,, Ethicaloil.org
The gravity of the existential threat we face from Islamic Jihad is truly of epic proportions. It is essentially a battle pitting free-civilized man against a totalitarian barbarian. What is at stake is the struggle for our very soul - namely who we are and what we represent. The lives that were sacrificed for individual rights and freedoms that we've come to cherish are being chiseled away from right under our noses by the stealth jihadists. And many of us are in denial and totally clueless.
The left's appeasement and pandering to evil is nothing new. What makes their utopian delusions so infuriating and unpardonable is that it is not only they who will have to pay the consequences, and deservedly, so, they are thwarting and undermining our best efforts at resistance and are thus dragging us down in the process as well.
