Fellow patriot,
Britain First will never allow Muslim extremists to spew
their hatred in public unopposed.
That's why when Anjem Choudary and his Islamic rabble announced
a protest outside the embassy of Saudi Arabia in London's West End, our units
in the South East Brigade mobilise to confront them.
Please watch this great video below:
Yours sincerely,
Paul Golding Chairman, Britain First  |

Abbas Pumps New Life Into Hamas

Abbas's "reconciliation"
with Hamas is most probably aimed at exerting more pressure on Israel to make
far-reaching concessions at the negotiating table. But Abbas's move will soon
prove to be counterproductive. Hamas's goal is to seize control over the
Palestinian Authority and replace Israel with an Islamic empire. Hamas has
already made it clear that the deal with Abbas does not mean that it would
change its ideology or renounce terrorism.
These are wonderful days for the Palestinian Islamist movement, Hamas.Just when everyone thought that Hamas -- an officially designated terrorist group and an offshoot of Muslim Brotherhood -- was on its way to vanish as a result of Egypt's tough measures, Palestinian Authority [PA] President Mahmoud Abbas stepped in to save the movement by inviting its leaders to join a Palestinian unity government. Abbas's recent decision to sign a "reconciliation" agreement with Hamas is the best gift that the Islamist movement could have dreamed of receiving. Even if Abbas is not serious about the "reconciliation," his deal with the movement's leaders in the Gaza Strip has injected new blood into Hamas.
Buoyed by Abbas's deal, Gaza's Hamas Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh phoned former U.S. President Jimmy Carter and invited him to serve as a monitor in the election. Carter and hundreds of international monitors supervised the last parliamentary election in 2006, which resulted in a Hamas victory. Hamas, of course, is confident that it would score another victory in any upcoming vote. Until recently, Hamas was concerned only about one thing: how to remain in power despite Egypt's unprecedented measures against the movement and its leaders. These measures include the destruction of hundreds of smuggling tunnels along the border between the Gaza Strip and Egypt during the past few months -- a move that created a severe economic and humanitarian crisis for the Palestinians living under Hamas's rule. Moreover, Egypt's massive crackdown on Hamas-affiliated terrorists in the Sinai Peninsula in particular, and the outlawing of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood organization in general, have dealt Hamas a severe blow. Ever since the removal of President Mohamed Morsi from power, the Egyptian authorities have been working hard to delegitimize Hamas and undermine its grip on the Gaza Strip. The Egyptians even went as far as also declaring Hamas a terrorist organization, holding it responsible for a series of terrorist attacks in Egypt over the past few months. Even some of Hamas's top leaders have admitted that the Egyptian measures caused their movement huge damage. Last month, Hamas denounced the Egyptian measures as a "war crime." Egypt's war on Hamas has now suffered a major setback as a result of Abbas's sudden decision to mend fences with the movement. The Egyptian authorities worked hard to delegitimize Hamas in the hope of ending its control over the Gaza Strip. But Abbas's move has legitimized Hamas, paving the way for the movement's return to center stage. Hamas is not the only party that stands to benefit from Abbas's gesture. The Muslim Brotherhood organization, which had also been dealt severe blows in the aftermath of the removal of Morsi from power, also stands to benefit from the "reconciliation" pact. Abbas's alliance with Hamas is likely to put him on a course of collision with the Egyptian government, which regards Hamas as a threat to Egypt's national security. If Abbas has decided that Hamas is a legitimate partner and is worthy of joining his government and the PLO, why shouldn't the Muslim Brotherhood also demand equal treatment from the Egyptian authorities? And why shouldn't other branches of the Muslim Brotherhood in the Arab world demand that they be treated the same way as Hamas? Abbas's rapprochement with Hamas can only embolden Muslim fundamentalists and undermine moderate secular forces throughout the Arab world. But Abbas has not only emboldened Hamas. He and the Palestinian Authority have now assumed the role of Hamas advocates in a bid to whitewash the movement in the eyes of the rest of the world. Chief PLO Negotiator Saeb Erekat this week went as far as arguing that Hamas is not a terrorist organization. "We might agree or differ with Hamas," Erekat said. "But Hamas is not a terrorist organization. The occupation, according to international law, is the worst form of terrorism." Abbas's "reconciliation" accord with Hamas is most probably aimed at exerting pressure on Israel to make far-reaching concessions at the negotiating table. But Abbas's move will soon prove to be counterproductive. Hamas's goal is to seize control over the Palestinian Authority and replace Israel with an Islamic empire. Abbas is deceiving himself and others when he says that a unity government with Hamas would recognize Israel and renounce violence. Hamas has already made it clear that the deal with Abbas does not mean that it would change its ideology or renounce terrorism.

Vicious Attack at Women's Prison in Iran

Other countries just elected to a
five-year term on the United Nations Commission for Women's rights are Sudan
and Pakistan, which, along with Iran, still practice burying women to their
waists, then stoning them to death.
"[T]he condition of human rights
has significantly worsened in Iran." — Dr. Majid Rafizadeh, Al
Arabiya
An attack in Tehran's women's prison, Shahr-Ray, similar to the attack on
prisoners in Ward 350 of Evin prison a week ago, was reported by reliable
sources inside Iran.According to the report, widely published on social media and on the Rowzane News website, on April 27, 2014 all doors to Shahr Ray prison were locked while five men attacked the women in Wards 1 and 2, a 190 square meter section [about 2000 square feet] that houses 240 female prisoners.
Since late March 2014, the campaign to save Reyhaneh Jabbari has brought attention internationally and even inside Iran, to the corrupt judicial system in the Islamic Republic; its unnaturally high conviction rate; and the recent surge in the number of executions, while at the same time shining a light on the lack of women's rights in a country under strict seventh century Islamic laws. On April 23, 2014, the United Nations grotesquely elected the Islamic Republic of Iran, along with more than a dozen other repressive regimes -- including Sudan; Mauritania, where slavery is still rampant; Russia; China; Cuba and Turkey -- to top committees responsible for protecting women's rights and overseeing the work of human rights organizations. Other countries elected to a five-year term on the Commission for Women's Rights were Sudan and Pakistan, which, along with Iran, still practice burying women to their waists, then stoning them to death. This is the second attack this month on prisoners inside Iran. On April 17, 2014, security forces brutally attacked and seriously injured political prisoners in Ward 350 of Evin prison. Last year alone, Iran put 369 people to death, more than any other country except China, according to UN Watch [Vol.487, April 25, 2014]. In a surge of executions that has literally doubled since the election of the "moderate" President Hassan Rouhani, Iran has put to death at least 188, or nearly half that amount, in the first quarter of 2014 alone. "[T]he condition of human rights has significantly worsened in Iran," according to political scientist and Harvard Scholar, Dr. Majid Rafizadeh, with "the increase in the persecution of ethnic and religious minorities, the cracking down on oppositional political figures, the mistreatment of political prisoners, arbitrary detention and unfair trials. ... not even keeping the status of human rights similar to that of his predecessor Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's era."

“The best way to take control over a people
and
control them utterly is to take a little of
their freedom
at a time, to erode rights by a thousand tiny
and
imperceptible reductions. In this way,
people will not
see those rights and freedoms being removed
until
past the point at which these changes can be
reversed.”
ACT! for Canada is a forum for citizens concerned
about the triumphalist brand of Islam that seeks to erode our cherished western
principles of free speech and equality with the goal of eventual Islamic
supremacy in the West.
Our mission is to educate our members and the general
public about Islamist infiltration of western institutions. We do this through
events featuring Canadian and international experts on Islamism. We also
publish a weekly newsletter that encompasses the most informative,
thought-provoking articles on the stealth jihad at home and abroad, written by
courageous and knowledgeable commentators. Much of this important
material cannot be found in our "politically correct" mainstream
media.
We are concerned with the socio-political, judicial,
economic and demographic aspects of Islam, not the spiritual path or personal
religion of Muslims. Our aim is to inform and widen the public
understanding of Islam as an aggressive global ideology. As more Canadians
understand that Islam is not ‘just another religion’, this realisation will
lead to a more critical debate about its non-spiritual and non-religious
aspects.
ACT! For Canada is a secular organization and is not
associated with any political or religious movement.
We need members' financial help to continue bringing
you the high-quality speakers who enrich our understanding. ACT! for Canada is
a true grass-roots organization, with no paid staff, and completely reliant on
volunteers who donate their time and resources. Your contribution will help us
become a national body of citizen lobbyists engaging with our media, elected
representatives and community leaders.
We are asking for an annual membership fee of $50.00
to support us in standing up for your freedoms and national security; to
preserve free speech and liberty so that your children and grandchildren will
live free. But any contribution is greatly appreciated.
ACT! For Canada is a registered, non-profit organization in Canada
but we do not have charitable status as yet and
therefore are unable issue a tax receipt.
There are two ways to make a donation: you can
go to our website www.actforcanada.ca and look for the donate button where you can pay via
PayPal. Or, you can mail in a donation with a cheque payable to ACT! For
Canada – Education and send to the following address:

You can also help us with donations in kind: frequent
flyer miles, printing services, sponsoring an event, hotel rooms, venues,
providing us with computer specialists, legal advice if needed – you name
it, we need it.

DON’T JUST
LOVE CANADA
ACT! FOR
CANADA
