Islam and violence

The Danish government is looking into “a legal tool” that would enable authorities to prevent protesters outside embassies from burning the Muslim holy book, the Quran, in the Nordic country.

Danish Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen told the national broadcaster DR on Sunday that the government was studying the scope for intervention to prevent such acts.

The news comes as many Muslim countries have protested the desecration of the Quran at demonstrations held in Denmark and Sweden in recent weeks.

It always makes sense to give in to a mob.

A former British rapper once believed to be the ISIS killer ‘Jihadi’ John has been found dead in his prison cell in Spain.

Abdel-Majed Abdel Bary, 32, had been tried earlier this month at a court in Madrid on suspicion of heading an itinerant jihadist cell he allegedly formed after leaving Syria, and was awaiting the verdict.

He is understood to have been found dead at a prison in El Puerto de Santa Maria in Cadiz, south west Spain. One unconfirmed local report said his body presented no obvious signs of any violence.

An aspiring rapper no less.

Old Vienna, in the midst of a demographic crisis, is a museum inhabited by elderly people strolling in the Prater. Islam has won.

340 years ago, on July 15, 1683, an Ottoman officer approached the walls of Vienna with a proposal to surrender. The message was delivered to a Croatian soldier: “Accept Islam and live in peace under the Sultan! But if you resist, then death, desolation and bondage will be the fate of you all!”

In Vienna, two months later, Europe defeated the Ottomans and only the battle of Marathon in 490 BC. C. – where the Athenians defeated a Persian expeditionary force – had the same significance for Western culture.

Approximately 200 Muslim protestors gathered outside the European Parliament Wednesday, July 19th, as Islamic groups in Brussels rallied against the controversial burning of the Quran in Sweden.

Shouts of “Allahu Akbar” were heard right outside the Parliament as an almost exclusively male crowd gathered at Place du Luxembourg at 4:00 p.m. organised by a group calling itself the ‘Muslim Community of Brussels.’
