France to close another mosque, bringing total mosques closed 24

PARIS (AA): France announced it will close another mosque, accusing the imam of being radicalized, according to media reports Wednesday.

The Interior Ministry has started the process of closing the Obernai Mosque in the Bas-Rhin area, according to French BFM TV and Le Figaro.

Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin said on Twitter that 23 “separatist places of worship” have been closed in the past two years.

He added that the closures came after a request by the president to fight “Islamist separatism.”


“Islamist separatism” that’s a very telling term.

But the numbers don’t lie … A total of 22,000 people are under surveillance by the country’s intelligence services of which 4,600 are foreigners, said the minister.

Out of the 4,600 foreigners, there are 1,200 foreigners that are actively under surveillance, and 780 foreigners were deported during the last four years, he added.


The barbarians are inside the gates …

Claim of racism by mohammedan charged with murdering Calgary officer isn’t credible, court told

Any suggestion racism played a part in Sgt. Andrew Harnett’s traffic stop of a Calgary teen charged with the officer’s murder was a figment of the accused killer’s imagination, a prosecutor said Thursday.

Crown lawyer Mike Ewenson said there was nothing in the conduct of Harnett and two other officers who arrived on the scene to show the teen feared he was being racially profiled.

Morality police retreat from Iranian streets in wake of hijab death protests

Not long after Iran’s ultra-conservative president issued an edict for greater enforcement of the religious code, three women wearing black chadors patrolled the streets of Rasht almost every day in a green-and-white van that marked them out as members of the morality police.

President Raisi’s order on July 5 commanded the Guidance Patrols to seek out women failing to wear their headscarves properly. It represented an attempt to enforce Islamic law across a younger and increasingly secular population.

CSIS persuaded Turkey to hide recruitment of operative who trafficked teens to Islamic State

 

The most senior intelligence officer in charge of covert operations at the Canadian Security Intelligence Service went to Ankara in March, 2015, to persuade Turkish authorities to stay silent about the agency’s recruitment of a Syrian human smuggler who trafficked three British teenage girls to Islamic State militants, according to three sources.

The sources said the officer, Jeffrey Yaworski, who was at the time CSIS’s deputy director of operations, was carrying out a discreet but high-level campaign to prevent the spy agency from being publicly blamed for using the smuggler as an operative. The Globe is not identifying the sources because they were not authorized to discuss national security matters.

The Guardian is picking sides in the Leicester riots

Leicester – Multicultural Vibrance

The outlet has failed to acknowledge the role of Islamism in the conflict

The events over the past few weeks in Leicester and, more recently, Smethwick have drawn attention to an under-discussed ideology: Hindutva. This is a system of beliefs that encompasses three elements: 1) Hindu rashtra (nation), 2) Hindu jati (race) and 3) Hindu sanskriti (civilisation), which was crafted in the early 1900s. In essence, it is designed as a way of life for Hindus, devout and non-devout, as well as atheist Hindus.

When Iran’s ‘morality police’ came for me

The “morality police” came for me exactly 13 minutes into my lecture on gender and sexual politics in post-revolutionary Iran. Four sets of auditorium doors swung open simultaneously. In they came, boots pounding, weapons clanking. The Tehran lecture hall erupted in confusion as the komiteh, as the morality police are known, filled the room.

Fury over ‘special treatment’ for ISIS Beatle behind horrific beheadings

Fury erupted today over the ‘special treatment’ handed to a British ISIS ‘Beatle’ who killed four hostages as it emerged he would be spared spending the rest of his life in an American supermax prison after concerns were raised about his mental health.

El Shafee Elsheikh, 34, or ‘Ringo’ will allegedly not be jailed in solitary confinement at ADX Florence in Colorado – but instead he’ll spend his sentence at a less restrictive prison on the same site known as USP Florence High.

Elsheikh, from West London, received eight life sentences after committing ‘some of the most barbaric terrorist acts ever seen’ as part of the twisted ‘ISIS Beatles’ group which captured, tortured and killed a group of journalists and aid workers in Syria in 2014.

Just look the other way – MPs’ scandalous response to the rape gang crisis

WITH the passing of Her Majesty the Queen, the sins of Britain and its Empire, real or imagined, have inevitably been in the news again. Something called ‘Irish Twitter’ (which one suspects is about as in tune with Irish public opinion as Twitter is with public opinion generally), has been foaming at the mouth about the Irish potato famine of 1845-49 being a deliberate act of genocide, a view of history that even the most rabid Irish republican tends not to believe.

An Anti-Muslim Symbol From India Is Paraded on Main Street, New Jersey

The bulldozer has become a symbol of oppression in India. Its appearance in a New Jersey parade has exposed fault lines between the region’s Hindu and Muslim communities.

EDISON, N.J. — The India Day Parade featured a pretty standard lineup of festival fare.

A Bollywood actress waved to fans from the top of a handmade float. Indian flags fluttered in the breeze. Flashy cars and quirky ads (“Kidney donors are sexy,” read one) passed by.

Then, toward the middle of the caravan, came a small yellow bulldozer, decorated with photos of India’s prime minister and a hard-line protégé.

Official inquiry finds PREVENT counter-terrorism scheme is also too focused on Right-wing extremism and not the ‘lethal threat from Islamism’

Urgent overhaul planned for Prevent which is ‘protecting terrorists and not the public’

Suella Braverman is planning an urgent overhaul of the Government’s counter-extremism programme after an official inquiry concluded Prevent was treating potential terrorists as “victims”.

Government sources said the new Home Secretary had internally identified reform of Prevent as “a key priority for her within her first few months”.

The disclosure comes as The Telegraph reveals the damning findings of an official inquiry that has concluded that Prevent has strayed from its “core mission” of stopping people from becoming terrorists.
