Mohammedan groups are ‘using blasphemy to silence free speech’, counter-terror expert warns

Extremist groups are using blasphemy to silence free speech, a counter-terrorism expert has warned.

William Shawcross, who was appointed by the British government to lead the review of the Prevent counter-terrorism strategy, said the Batley row was an example of how some groups were using blasphemy as a way to curtail free speech.

The furore, which took place at Batley Grammar School in West Yorkshire in March last year, saw an RE teacher go into hiding and receive death threats for showing his students a cartoon of the Prophet Muhammad.

Mozambique: Mohammedans behead 6, shoot Italian Nun

MAPUTO, Sept 7 (Reuters) – At least six people were beheaded and an Italian nun killed on Tuesday by Islamic State-linked insurgents in Mozambique’s Nampula province, authorities said on Wednesday.

Speaking in the resort town of Xai Xai north of the capital Maputo, President Filipe Nyusi said the insurgents unleashed a killing spree as they fled from soldiers from Mozambique, Rwanda and the Southern African Development Community (SADC) sent to tackle the violence.

The Shamima Begum delusion

Supporters and critics both rewrite history

… This revelation about Begum is not actually all that revelatory: The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation ran a story on it in March 2015. But it didn’t attract much interest at the time. Kerbaj, the BBC and Begum’s legal team and her apologists want to change that, refocusing the story on how Begum was trafficked and how the West had a hand in it.

Good read. She was no “trafficked innocent.”

Six Gulf states warn Netflix over content violating ‘Islamic values’

A group of Persian Gulf states have threatened Netflix with legal action if it continues broadcasting content that “contradicts” Islam, while Saudi state media indicated that the offending material centred on shows depicting sexual minorities.

A statement issued jointly by the Saudi media regulator and the six-member Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), headquartered in the Saudi capital, Riyadh, did not specifically identify material, referring only to content that “contradicts Islamic and societal values”.

Skanderbeg: The Man Who Sacrificed Everything for His People

Today in history witnessed one of the most stalwart defenses against the Islamic spear-thrust into Europe—the Battle of Albulena in Albania, 1457.

To appreciate the significance of this epic clash, one must first appreciate the leader of the Albanian forces, George Kastrioti, better known as Skanderbeg (“Lord Alexander”). Today, he is as little known in the West as he was once widely celebrated all throughout Europe. His life, which is featured in the new book, Defenders of the West: The Christian Heroes Who Stood Against Islam, certainly validates the saying that “truth is stranger than fiction.”

Demographic decline and disintegration: Europe’s fate

In 2050, a third of Italy’s population will be foreigners, says a United Nations report. And there will be 3 seniors for each child.

From the Indo-European invasions (3rd millennium BCE) to the second half of the 20th century, the European population did not undergo demographic changes. Since 1974, in contrast, Western Europe has welcomed an Islamic immigration unprecedented in history and in the rest of the world. This change occurred at the same time as the fertility of European women plummeted below the essential threshold for generational turnover (2,1). Today in Europe there are 1.5 children per woman, which implies a division by three in the number of births in a century. In some regions (northern Italy, eastern Germany, Spain, Greece, eastern Europe) couples have on average only one child, a halving of the population over a lifetime.

Racism vs Sexism: How Islam Weaponised Inclusivity

Universalism is forced to coexist with diversity and inclusion; one has to agree that patriarchy, aristocracy and capitalism were evil unless they are not white. But deeper divides force progressives to either keep their eyes shut or risk becoming the oppressors.

For the last few decades, leftist thinkers have been working on bringing a word of their secular religion into every corner of society. Their efforts have spawned the ugly Hydra known as ‘intersectionality.’ For those unfamiliar with the concept of intersectionality, it aims to help people understand the ways that our society supposedly privileges and discriminates against people for multiple reasons. So, the logic goes, just as a person missing an arm and a leg will likely have a more difficult time in life than a person who is only missing an arm or is only missing a leg, a black woman will be more discriminated against than a white woman or a black man. While this may initially seem like a helpful way of approaching social problems, it ultimately becomes nothing more than the same tried-and-failed communist division of society into oppressors and oppressed.

Turkey: What Is the Real Terrorist Threat?

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s ideological family tree is inherently anti-Western– hence, anti-US and anti-NATO. This author’s most recent article, “NATO Family Picture in Madrid: This Will Not Be Erdoğan’s Last Blackmail,” was posted on July 7. Only 11 days later, on July 18, Erdoğan said that Turkey would freeze Finland and Sweden’s NATO membership bids if the Nordic countries do not come into line with Turkey’s “fight against terrorist organizations.”

Two Iranian Women Sentenced To Death For LGBT Activism

Two Iranian women have been sentenced to death for their activism in support of the country’s LGBT community.

The state IRNA news agency reported the sentences of Zahra Hamadani and Elham Chubdar on September 5, a day after the Hengaw human rights network said it had received reports that the two were informed of the punishment a few days earlier.

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) had accused the two of “promoting homosexuality, gambling, fraud, and promoting illicit sexual relations and publishing them on the Internet.”

Eight to stand trial over 2016 Bastille Day truck attack in Nice

Seven men and one woman will go on trial on Monday over the 2016 Bastille Day attack in the French city of Nice, in which 86 people were killed and hundreds injured by a gunman who drove a heavy truck into a crowd gathered to watch fireworks.

The gunman, responsible for one of the deadliest massacres in peacetime France, was shot dead by police on the spot, ending an assault that shocked a country already reeling from the Islamist attacks in Paris the previous year.

Prosecutors say the accused, who face between five years in jail to a life sentence, helped 31-year-old Tunisian-born Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel obtain weapons, rent the truck or survey the route he took for his deadly rampage.

Shamima Begum: Canada would back Islamic State ‘trafficking’ inquiry … and then sweep findings under rug

Senior Canadian intelligence officials would support an inquiry into their organisation’s deeply contentious role in the smuggling of British schoolgirl Shamima Begum into Syria, the Observer has been told.

Sources have told Tasnime Akunjee, the lawyer representing Begum’s family, that there is significant concern within its ranks that a people smuggler working for Canadian intelligence helped Begum and two friends from Bethnal Green, east London, to join Islamic State in Syria. Until now, sources within the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) have kept their counsel over the scandal since it was revealed last week that the Metropolitan police in London allegedly knew that a people smuggler linked to western security services trafficked the then 15-year-old.
