It's good to be flexible - A Rule 5 Friday night vaguely NSFW

Thanks to ARRSE for the images, now I must have a word with my chiropractor and see how I can improve my flexibility.

"Don't try to fix it. I just need you to listen." Every man has heard these words. And they are the law of the land. No matter what.

The Hague: No Memorial Plaque for Jews Killed in the Holocaust out of Fear of Muslim Reactions

'The Paul Kruger School in The Hague was, under the Nazi occupation, a high school for Jewish children who had to leave other schools by Nazi orders.

According to one of the teachers in the school, they prepared a design of the plaque, but decided not to go ahead with it after they received reactions that Muslim people now living in the neighborhood didn't consider it acceptable.

All of this came to light when there was an Open Day at the school on National Memorial Day, May 4. On that day, a number of lectures about the war were held in the school. The announcement for it was not hung outside out of fear that stones would be thrown through the school's windows.'

The really important question is why would Muslims find commemorating the Holocaust so annoying? Is it because they still deny that the Holocaust happened? Is it because they hate the Jews so much that they do not want to be reminded that there was a large community of Jews in The Netherlands before they were killed by the Nazis?

If it's the last of these reasons, is that because it reminds them that in the Second World War one of the leaders of the Middle East Muslims, the Mufti of Jerusalem, sided with Hitler and the Nazis?

Mothballing F-117s

Due to sequestration the US Air Force has begun to mothball several squadrons of F117 Stealth Fighters in the Arizona Desert. This is the first F-117 to be parked.

I must admit that it took me a second to get that!

Meet Israel's Under-21 Soccer Team Coach (VIDEO)

'Guy Luzon, Israel's Under-21 National Team Coach, talks about his team and their hopes for the upcoming championship.

Unity and harmony are key components of the team's ethos. These young Israelis have learned to play together, a tribute to the coach who must integrate Jewish, Arab, Druze, Russian and Ethiopian players, all of whom come from homes with different traditions and customs.'

How many Islamic states have Jews, Christians and others in their team? Yet we keep being told that 'Israel is an apartheid state'.

Muslim writer touts Israeli tolerance of minorities

The apartheid state of Israel exposed!

"This country does not fit the description of an apartheid state," says author Qanta Ahmed in visit to Israel.

British author Dr. Qanta Ahmed spoke on Wednesday at the Menachem Begin Heritage Center in Jerusalem about the difficulties for minorities in Islamic societies and how Israel is the only country in the Middle East that tolerates them.

...

Ahmed is a British sleep-disorder specialist working in New York State, whose parents came from Pakistan after moving there from India.

She visited Israel for the first time and gave a lecture at the symposium on Wednesday evening dealing with radicalization and minority persecution in the Islamic world.

The rise of political Islam that has been particularly pronounced as a result of the Arab uprisings is a threat to minorities and to Muslims who do not agree with the ascendent radical ideology, Ahmed said.

The persecution of Christians and other minorities is not getting the attention it deserves from the mainstream media, she said, adding that only a Muslim like her can get away with criticizing Islamic societies without being castigated as a bigot.

Israel does not fit the description of an apartheid state and instead, the media ignores the real problem, which is in the Muslim world, she said.

Illustrating this point, she said that it was only when she went to enter al-Aksa Mosque that she was asked to prove she was a Muslim in order to enter. She did so by reciting the shahada – the Muslim declaration of faith, that states there is one God and that Muhammad is his prophet.

“This is the first time I gave this talk in the Middle East and the only place in the region where I can give this talk and go home afterwards,” Ahmed said. She added that the boycott of next month’s President’s Conference in Jerusalem by British scientist Stephen Hawking is misplaced as he never boycotted Pakistan despite its deplorable human rights record, including its persecution of minorities.'

One man who Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas keeps in office

'"Praise Allah who honored us and designated us to be in Ribat (religious war defending or liberating "Islamic" land) until Judgment Day, until the dawn of freedom and national independence shine [on us]... On behalf of all those who fell as Martyrs or were wounded, we salute the heroic fighter, the self-sacrificing Salam Al-Zaghal from the Tulkarem District, whose honor and pride would not let him remain silent, consenting to the settlers' aggression against him in his vehicle. He insisted on defending his honor, so he went against the settler and killed him. Blessings to the breast that nursed Salam Al-Zaghal." '

Because praising a terrorist murderer of an Israeli Jew is no rreason to be sacked.

'Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has failed to take action after a bipartisan collation of lawmakers called on him earlier this month to fire a senior official who honored a Palestinian terrorist for murdering an Israeli civilian. Abu al-Einein, a former Abbas adviser who currently heads the Palestinian Council for NGO Affairs, was caught on film praising the Palestinian who stabbed an Israeli father of five to death while he was waiting for a ride home'

Why does Israel shoot at members of the Press?

The answer, at least according to this video, is quite simple - Palestinian terrorists use the Press as cover.





It is inconceivable that the British and American Media don't know that this goes on, so I can only assume that they don't report it because they are anti-Israel.

Is this an example of the BBC's inability to meet a self-imposed deadline?

To defeat Islamic terror, we must first acknowledge what it is | Melanie Phillips (part 2)

'Now the Prime Minister says he will crack down on such extremism. Yet after the Woolwich atrocity, he claimed it was 'a betrayal of Islam' and that 'there is nothing in Islam that justifies this truly dreadful act'.

The London Mayor Boris Johnson went even further, claiming: 'It is completely wrong to blame this killing on the religion of Islam' and that the cause was simply the killers' 'warped and deluded mindset'.

Yet the video footage of the killers — who had shouted 'Allahu Akhbar' when butchering Drummer Rigby — records one of them citing verses in the Koran exhorting the faithful to fight and kill unbelievers, and declaring: 'We swear by Almighty Allah we will never stop fighting you.'

Frankly, these comments by the Prime Minister and London Mayor were as absurd as saying the medieval Inquisition, for example, had nothing to do with the Catholic Church, but was just the product of a few warped and deluded individuals.

Their comments were also deeply troubling. For if politicians refuse to acknowledge the true nature of this extremism, they will never counter it effectively.

But then, government officials have always refused to admit that this is a religious war. They simply don't understand the power of religious fanaticism.'

To defeat Islamic terror, we must first acknowledge what it is | Melanie Phillips

'The Government has been extraordinarily reluctant to do this — because it refuses to face the blindingly obvious fact that this extremism is religious in nature.

It arises from an interpretation of Islam which takes the words of the Koran literally as a command to kill unbelievers in a jihad, or holy war, in order to impose strict Islamic tenets on the rest of the world.'

Asghar Khan: India An Imagined Enemy - YouTube

Pakistani General admits that Pakistan started every war with India and that the threat to Pakistan of. India is imaginary.

'Asghar Khan - former Chief of the Pakistan Air Force, Chairman of the Tehrik-e-Istaqlaal political party, and a man renowned for his integrity and clarity - argues against the official anti-India ideology of Pakistan.

He explains how: (a) India does not constitute a national threat and has no interest in swallowing Pakistan; (b) all wars between the two countries were started by Pakistan; (c) the Maharaja of Kashmir may not have acceded to India had Pakistan negotiated with him seriously; (d) the 1971 war was sheer lunacy in military terms on account of the long lines of communication; (e) unlike India, Pakistan does not need nuclear weapons; (f) nuclear program represents a grave danger to the national security of Pakistan; and (g) the country is paying a heavy economic price for its atomic program. This interview was recorded in 2009 by Dawn.'

Don't expect any reporting of this on BBC who try to find fault with India as much as possible whilst protecting Pakistan from criticism. The BBC's Asian services full of people of Pakistani descent. Also Pakistan is Islamic state and therefore beyond criticism at pro Islamic BBC.

Average Palestinian Attacker Just 12-14 Years Old, IDF Colonel Says | Jewish & Israel News Algemeiner.com

When you hear the anti Semites who masquerade as pro Palestinians decrying Israel's arresting of Palestinian children, remember this:

' IDF Colonel Yaniv Alaluf said that the average Palestinian attacker behind recent rock and firebomb attacks on Israeli drivers is only "12-14 years old," Israel National News reported.

At a meeting in the Etzion region in Judea and Samaria, Alaluf met with residents to address concerns over the increase in rock and firebomb attacks on drivers in the region.

A report from Israel's domestic security agency, the Shin Bet, revealed there were 90 attacks on Jewish residents in Judea and Samaria in April, up slightly from 101 in March. Most of these attacks were firebombs or the planting of roadside bombs, Haaretz reported.

Alaluf said many people beg soldiers not to arrest the teenage attackers "because they have tests in school the next day."'

Are 'settlements' the main or even just the primary block to peace?

'An average reader of this article would go away convinced that building in communities in Judea & Samaria is the main issue preventing a peace agreement between Israel and the Palestinians. So let's take a look at just some of what the BBC has to airbrush out of its 'peace process' narrative, as presented in this article and many others, in order to promote that chimera to its audiences.

1. The Palestinian Authority's insistence on the 'right of return' for refugees: a scenario which would bring about the end of Israel as a Jewish state.

2. The Palestinian Authority's refusal to recognize Israel as a Jewish state.

3. The fact that Mahmoud Abbas does not hold a legitimate democratically elected mandate to sign any agreement on behalf of the Palestinian people.

4. The fact that part of the territory intended to be a Palestinian state is not controlled by the Palestinian Authority, but by a terrorist organization at war with Israel.

5. The fact that the 'international community' seems to be entirely at ease with the deliberate suspension of the rights of the Palestinian people to elect their leaders and representatives in order to keep the Palestinian Authority on 'life support' by postponing a Hamas take-over of the PA.

6. The fact that the Palestinian Authority engages in daily delegitimisation of Israel, incitement against the Israeli people and glorification of terror.'

Nearly Two-Thirds of Britons Expect a Serious Clash Between British (sic) Muslims | EuropeNews

'Nearly two-thirds of people believe there will be a 'clash of civilisations' between British Muslims and white Britons in the wake of the murder of a British soldier in Woolwich, a new poll shows.

The number of those who believe such a clash is inevitable has increased by 9% from last year.

There has also been a small increase in the proportion of people who believe British Muslims pose a serious threat to democracy, up to 34% on Thursday and Friday from 30% in November 2012, according to the YouGov survey of 1,839 adults.'

Abbas doesn't want a peace that means a viable Jewish state of Israel

The time has come to admit the truth: The world cares more about the life of a Palestinian than the life of a Syrian, Sudanese, Kenyan, Colombian or Congolese.

'The time has come to admit the truth: The world cares more about the life of a Palestinian than the life of a Syrian, Sudanese, Kenyan, Colombian or Congolese.
...
An in-depth look at these two agencies reveals the depth of the international community's preferential treatment of Palestinian refugees over other displaced people throughout the world. The UNHCR, which cares for 33.9 million refugees and internally displaced people (IDP) in more than 125 countries throughout the world, has a budget of just $3 billion. UNWRA , which cares for the five million descendents of Palestinian refugees, has a budget of over $1 billion. Per person, that is $88.50 for each refugee/IDP around the world, and $200 for each Palestinian refugee.

 It gets worse.

The UNHCR has 7,685 staff members, with a staff-to-client ratio of 1:4,411. UNRWA has more than four times the staff. With 29,602 members, the organization boasts a staff-to-client ratio of 1:168.

Allow me to reiterate: The organization tasked with caring for the descendents of Palestinian refugees has 26 times more staff members per client than the organization tasked with caring for refugees and IDPs in the entire rest of the world put together.'

U.K. Beheading Shows: It's Time To Fight the Doctrine of Jihad - The Huffington Post

A fascinating article by Tarek Fatah in the Huffington Post

'As a Muslim, I can say without fear, the latest terror attack has a basis in Islam and it's time for us Muslims to dig our heads out of the sand.
...
The armed jihad launched against the infidels, is clearly promoted by the 20th-century writings of such Islamists as Syed Qutb and Hassan al-Banna of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood and the late Syed Maudoodi of Jamaat-e-Islami of Indo-Pakistan.In his book Towards Understanding Islam, Maudoodi exhorts ordinary Muslims to launch jihad, as in armed struggle, against non-Muslims. "Jihad is part of this overall defence of Islam," he writes. In case the reader is left with any doubt about the meaning of the word "jihad," Maudoodi clarifies:"In the language of the Divine Law, this word (jihad) is used specifically for the war that is waged solely in the name of God against those who perpetrate oppression as enemies of Islam. This supreme sacrifice is the responsibility of all Muslims."
...
Maudoodi goes on to label Muslims who refuse the call to armed jihad as apostates:"Jihad is as much a primary duty as are daily prayers or fasting. One who avoids it is a sinner. His every claim to being a Muslim is doubtful. He is plainly a hypocrite who fails in the test of sincerity and all his acts of worship are a sham, a worthless, hollow show of deception."If Maudoodi's exhortations are not enough to motivate Muslims to conduct acts of terror, we have the words of the late Hassan al-Banna being distributed in our schools and universities. Al-Banna makes it quite clear that the word "jihad" means armed conflict. He mocks those who claim jihad is merely an internal struggle.Al-Banna says this redefinition of the term "jihad" to depict it as a non-violent act of self-examination, is in fact a conspiracy so that "Muslims should become negligent."'

There's loads more to read and learn from in Tarek Fatah's article.

Anjem Choudary - "It is not allowed to target innocent people"

On the Channel 4 News tonight Anjem Choudary used this well worn line that in Islam "It is not allowed to target innocent people" and the interviewer seemed to accept this.

Unfortunately for Anjem Choudary, some of us have good memories. Here's Anjem Choudary from 2009:

"When we say innocent people we mean Muslims, as far as non-Muslims are concerned they have not accepted Islam and as far as we are concerned that is a crime against God... As far as Muslims are concerned, you are innocent if you are a Muslim, then you are innocent in the eyes of God. If you are a non-Muslim then you are guilty of not believing in God... I must have hatred to anything that is not Islam"

So when Anjem Choudary says that "It is not allowed to target innocent people" he meand "It is not allowed to target Muslim people, however targeting kufr is allowed."

Full video and transcript of UK jihadi murder suspect

I note that the British media seem to have been self censoring what the man with blood on his hands said to that video camera. Here's the whole of his speech, note the bit about being forced to do this by the Koran.

Why are the majority of the British media omitting this part of his speech from their reports?

'The only reason we have killed this man today is because Muslims are dying daily by British soldiers. And this British soldier is one. It is an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. By Allah, we swear by the almighty Allah we will never stop fighting you until you leave us alone. So what if we want to live by the Shari'a in Muslim lands? Why does that mean you must follow us and chase us and call us extremists and kill us? Rather you lot are extreme. You are the ones that when you drop a bomb you think it hits one person? Or rather your bomb wipes out a whole family? This is the reality. By Allah if I saw your mother today with a buggy I would help her up the stairs. This is my nature. But we are forced by the Qur'an, in Sura At-Tawba, through many ayah in the Qu'ran, we must fight them as they fight us. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. I apologise that women had to witness this today but in our lands women have to see the same. You people will never be safe. Remove your governments, they don't care about you. You think David Cameron is going to get caught in the street when we start busting our guns? You think politicians are going to die? No, it's going to be the average guy, like you and your children. So get rid of them. Tell them to bring our troops back so can all live in peace. So leave our lands and we can all live in peace. That's all I have to say. [in Arabic:] Allah's peace and blessings be upon you.'

But the vast majority of British Muslims...

The line that the vast majority of British Muslims are peaceful and oppose violent extremism is one that I have heard already following the Woolwich terrorist attack and no doubt will hear over and over again on the BBC. But is it true?

Rather than vain hope, let's look at some facts.

From The Telegraph in 2008 (my emphasis):

'The YouGov poll was conducted for the Right-wing think tank, the Centre for Social Cohesion, at 12 universities, including Imperial College and Kings College London. It also found:

• 40 per cent support the introduction of sharia into British law for Muslims

• a third back the notion of a worldwide Islamic caliphate (state) based on sharia law

• 40 per feel it is unacceptable for Muslim men and women to mix freely

• 24 per cent do not think men and women are equal in the eyes of Allah

• a quarter have little or no respect for homosexuals.

Although 53 per cent said that killing in the name of religion was never justified, compared with 94 per cent of non-Muslims, 32 per cent said that it was. Of these, 4 per cent said killing could be justified to "promote or preserve" religion, while 28 per cent said it was acceptable if that religion were under attack.'

From The Telegraph in 2007:

'Forty per cent of Muslims between the ages of 16 and 24 said they would prefer to live under sharia law in Britain, a legal system based on the teachings of the Koran. The figure among over-55s, in contrast, was only 17 per cent.'

From The Guardian in 2006:

'The poll, by the Washington-based Pew Global Attitudes Project, asked Muslims and non-Muslims about each other in 13 countries. In most, it found suspicion and contempt to be mostly mutual, but uncovered a significant mismatch in Britain.

The poll found that 63% of all Britons had a favourable opinion of Muslims, down slightly from 67% in 2004, suggesting last year's London bombings did not trigger a significant rise in prejudice. Attitudes in Britain were more positive than in the US, Germany and Spain (where the popularity of Muslims has plummeted to 29%), and about the same as in France.

Less than a third of British non-Muslims said they viewed Muslims as violent, significantly fewer than non-Muslims in Spain (60%), Germany (52%), the US (45%) and France (41%).

By contrast, the poll found that British Muslims represented a "notable exception" in Europe, with far more negative views of westerners than Islamic minorities elsewhere on the continent. A significant majority viewed western populations as selfish, arrogant, greedy and immoral. Just over half said westerners were violent. While the overwhelming majority of European Muslims said westerners were respectful of women, fewer than half British Muslims agreed. Another startling result found that only 32% of Muslims in Britain had a favourable opinion of Jews, compared with 71% of French Muslims.'

From The Telegraph in 2006:

'Four out of 10 British Muslims want sharia law introduced into parts of the country, a survey reveals today.

The ICM opinion poll also indicates that a fifth have sympathy with the "feelings and motives" of the suicide bombers who attacked London last July 7, killing 52 people, although 99 per cent thought the bombers were wrong to carry out the atrocity.

...

...Twenty per cent felt sympathy with the July 7 bombers' motives '

A small minority we are told. Well according to the 2011 census there are some 2.7 million Muslims in the UK, 4.8% of the total population. Let's extrapolate:

20% feel sympathy with the July 7 terrorists -  540,000 people

68% don't have a favorable opinion of Jews - 1,836,000 people


Feeling reasssured?

Just re the matter of tolerance, here's something that I've never heard the BBC menbtion when discussing attitudes towards homosexuality in the UK.
From The Guardian in 2009 (my emphasis):

'Muslims in Britain have zero tolerance towards homosexual acts compared to their counterparts in France and Germany, according to a survey published today.

The Gallup poll features the results of telephone and face-to-face interviews with Muslims and non-Muslims in the UK, France and Germany and is designed to measure global attitudes towards people from different faith traditions.

It shows that British Muslims hold more conservative opinions towards homosexual acts, abortion, viewing pornography, suicide and sex outside marriage than European Muslims, polling markedly lower when asked if they believed these things were morally acceptable.

The most dramatic contrast was found in attitudes towards homosexuality. None of the 500 British Muslims interviewed believed that homosexual acts were morally acceptable. 1,001 non-Muslim Britons were interviewed.

By comparison, 35% of French Muslims found homosexual acts to be acceptable. '

 So why are British Muslims more radical and extreme in their views than their counterparts in the rest of Europe? Maybe the universities are to blame:

From the first report I mentioned:

'The report's authors found that Islamic societies on campus, operating under the umbrella of the Federation of Student Islamic Societies, exert a strong influence on many of Britain's 90,000 Muslim students. A quarter of them belong to Islamic societies and their views are often more extreme.

While three-fifths of society members said that killing in the name of religion was acceptable, an equal number of non-member Muslims said it was never justified. The security services have identified Islamist activism at universities acts as a possible "gateway" to violent extremism. Several terrorists and sympathisers began their extremist careers on campuses.

The authors of the report, "Islam on Campus", lay much of the blame for extremism among Muslim students on the group Hizb ut-Tahrir, which seeks to build a worldwide Islamic state.

YouGov polled 600 Muslim students and 800 non-Muslim students at universities with a high number of Muslims.'

I'm sorry but 'London we have a problem'

Breathtaking hypocrisy at the United Nations

'GENEVA, May 22 – The annual assembly of the UN's World Health Organization adopted a resolution
 and held a special debate today criticizing Israel — the only specific country on the organization's agenda — with Syria demanding urgent action on "inhuman Israeli practices" that target "the health of Syrian citizens."

The WHO resolution against Israel was not yet published, but was likely a copy of last year's condemnation
.
Observers of the world body in Geneva said the annual hypocrisy reached a new low this year.
"To see the Assad regime point the finger at Israel out of professed concern for the health of Syrians is, frankly, a sick joke," said Hillel Neuer, exectuive director of the Geneva-based UN Watch, a non-governmental monitoring group accredited to the UN.'

The cause of the attack remains a mystery?

When even the BBC report thus:

'1744:
Senior Whitehall sources have told the BBC that the Woolwich attackers are thought to have tried to film their attack whilst shouting "Allahu Akbar" - God is Great, says political editor Nick Robinson.

The Prime Minister is expected to speak to the Home Secretary at 18:15 BST from a train to Paris about what is now being treated by government as a suspected terrorist attack, Mr Robinson says.'

If this is true then can anyone seriously doubt that this was an Islamic terrorist  attack?

Presumably the cause will excused as being because of the British Army being in Afghanistan or due to the creation of the State of Israel.

However the real cause looks like Jihad.


UPDATE:

ITV news  are reporting:
'ITV News has obtained footage of a man with bloodied hands and carrying knives speaking into a camera in Woolwich.

He made a series of political statements.

"We swear by almighty Allah we will never stop fighting you," he said.'

I await the BBC's reporting of this news...


UPDATE 2:
ITV News  are now reporting:

'ITV News has obtained footage of a man with bloodied hands addressing a camera on a south London street.

He makes a series of political statements before walking towards a man, believed to be a soldier, lying prone on the street.

He then talks calmly to another man stood nearby.'

That ITV link has the video footage but the page seems to have problems, too much traffic?


UPDATE:
Could someone please correct the BBC, 'Allahu Akbar' does not translate as 'God is great' but is called Takbir in Arabic and means 'God is greater' or 'God is greatest'. It's also a cry that readers of this blog may have come across before.

Top 10 warning signs you may be a ‘Guardian Left’ anti-Semite from CiF Watch

Here's the first two:

' 1. You claim the mantle of human rights yet find yourself running interference  for anti-Semitic world leaders and helping to spread the propaganda of Islamist extremists  - and even terrorist leaders who openly call for the murder of Jews.

2.  You claim to condemn racism at every opportunity yet are strangely silent or seriously downplay even the most egregious examples of antisemitic violence.'

I wonder how many of these apply to certain people who I have crossed on Twitter?

It feels like the Right has split irrevocably - Telegraph

Something to worry any democrat.

'The prospect of PR should fill us with horror. It allows politicians to stitch up deals after the voters have had their say and denies the country strong government at moments of crisis. But if neither Labour nor the Tories are capable of commanding a broad sweep of public opinion on polling day, it is where we are headed.'

The funniest Blackadder exchange?

General Melchett: Is this true, Blackadder? Did Captain Darling pooh-pooh you? Captain Blackadder: Well, perhaps a little. General Melchett: Well, then, damn it all! What more evidence do you need? The pooh-poohing alone is a court martial offense! Captain Blackadder: I can assure you, sir, that the pooh-poohing was purely circumstantial. General Melchett: Well, I hope so, Blackadder. You know, if there's one thing I've learnt from being in the Army, it's never ignore a pooh-pooh. I knew a Major, who got pooh-poohed, made the mistake of ignoring the pooh-pooh. He pooh-poohed it! Fatal error! 'Cos it turned out all along that the soldier who pooh-poohed him had been pooh-poohing a lot of other officers who pooh-poohed their pooh-poohs. In the end, we had to disband the regiment. Morale totally destroyed... by pooh-pooh!

Or do you disagree.

A serious question re the Hammersmith Apollo

Every time I go to the Hammersmith Apollo or see anything filmed there I notice that the end of act music is by Warren Zevon. Now I am a massive Warren Zevon fan but why?


Here's 'Lawyers, Guns and Money'

Another example of 'apartheid Israel'

'Israeli Arab judge to chair elections committee Salim Joubran will preside over local council votes in October'

Will the discrimination against non Jews in Israel never stop?

Eddie Braben R.I.P

Eddie Braben, the man whose writing made Morecambe and Wise what they were, has died aged 82.


The complete Andrew Preview sketch! Andre Previn plays his part so well in this sketch.



The breakfast routine, I don't know if Eddie Braben had any input into this routine but it's sheer brilliance.



I grew up on Morecambe and Wise, and will happily watch repeats to this day.

Have you heard of Husby?

If you rely upon the BBC for your news then you won't have. The BBC show seven articles with mentions of Husby, none more recent than June 2012 and all seven relating to people with the surname Husby in the Breivik story. If you click on the 'Elsewhere on the web' link though you get some rather more up to date stories. For there has been some major rioting going on in Husby, a suburb of Stockholm, for a few days now. The BBC's top link is to the Huffington Post which manages to avoid the elephant in the room with a story just talking of 'youths' and 'immigrants' although they did drop a clue with their choice of spokesman for the 'community', one Rami Al-Khamisi from the organization Megafonen, 'which represents citizens in Stockholm's suburbs.'

The Australian Herald Sun has a rather more informative headline 'From the streets of Muslim Sweden' .

100 or more cars torched and the streets of part of a European city filled with flames and blood but the BBC just don't want to tell us, why?

Ray Manzarek R.I.P

The keyboardist with The Doors, Ray Manzarek, has passed away aged 74. Yet another victim of cancer. I loved the music of the Doors from my mid teens, here's a few of their best tracks.


'Light My Fire'




'Riders On The Storm' - the last song recorded by The Doors before Jim Morrison's death



'The End'- Because for Ray Manzarek it is.

Football quiz time - the answer

The answer to my question as to the 5 Premiership players who played ever minute of every Premiership game this 2012/2013 season is this:
Goalkeepers Jussi Jaaskelainen, Amir Begovic, Joe Hart & Simon Mignolet and the only outfield player Leighton Baines.

The BBC ignoring one source of opposition to gay marriage

The BBC report here that there is opposition to gay marriage from 'Several Cabinet ministers' & '34 current and former local (Conservative) party chairmen'. This report details the debate in the Church of Scotland and appears as a headline article on the BBC news website.
Meanwhile this BBC page tells about views of gay marriage amongst:

someone in a civil partnership
Reverend Malcolm Brown, director of mission and public affairs for Archbishops' Council, Church of England
Paul Parker, Recording Clerk for Quakers in Britain
Ed Costelloe, former chairman of Somerton and Frome Conservative Association
Anthony Wells, YouGov associate director
Dr Sharon James, Coalition For Marriage campaign group
  

The BBC do not make space for any reaction to gay marriage from a group that they are normally very keen to listen to. Reading today's Telegraph I think I can see why.

'SIR – We have serious misgivings about the Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Bill, which seeks to legalise gay marriage.

As imams and Muslim leaders we have a responsibility to fulfil our sacred trust to God and present our view on these proposals on behalf of the Muslim communities we serve.

Marriage is a sacred contract between a man and a woman that cannot be redefined. We believe that marriage between a man and a woman is the cornerstone of family life and the only institution within which to raise children.

We are concerned that this radical change to the institution of marriage will impact on what is taught in schools. Muslim teachers will be forced into the contradictory position of holding private beliefs, while teaching a new legal definition of marriage. Muslim parents will be robbed of their right to raise their children according to their beliefs, as gay relationships are taught as something normal to their primary-aged children.

We support the numerous calls from other faith leaders and communities who have stood firmly against gay marriage and instead support marriage as it should be, between a man and a woman.'

More on the Palestinian links to Nazis in World War 2 and now

The truth hurts and that's why Islamists, their supporters and apologists try to hide the truth and prevent others from learning the truth. This is true in the Middle East, the rest of the Muslim world and much of the West.

'Among the facts Ms. Ebéné didn't want the visitors of her center to learn is that the Palestinian wartime leader "was one of the worst and fanatical fascists and anti-Semites," as Mr. Rössel put it to me.
...
The mufti orchestrated the 1920/1921 anti-Jewish riots in Palestine and the 1929 Arab pogroms that destroyed the ancient Jewish community of Hebron. An early admirer of Hitler, Husseini received Nazi funding-as did Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood-for his 1936-1939 Palestinian revolt, during which his thugs killed hundreds of British soldiers, Jews and also Arabs who rejected his Islamo-Nazi agenda.
After participating in a failed fascist coup in Iraq, he fled to Berlin in 1941 as Hitler's personal guest. In the service of the Third Reich, the mufti recruited thousands of Muslims to the Waffen SS. He intervened with the Nazis to prevent the escape to Palestine of thousands of European Jews, who were sent instead to the death camps. He also conspired with the Nazis to bring the Holocaust to Palestine. Rommel's defeat in El Alamein spoiled these plans.
...
... it is often claimed that the mufti's Hitler alliance later discredited him in the region. Nothing could be further from the truth. In the Mideast, Nazis were not only popular during but also after the war-scores of them found refuge in the Arab world, including Eichman's deputy, Alois Brunner, who escaped to Damascus. The German war criminals became trusted military and security advisers in the region, particularly of Nazi sympathizer Gamal Nasser, then Egypt's president. The mufti himself escaped to Egypt in 1946. Far from being shunned for his Nazi past, he was elected president of the National Palestinian Council. The mufti was at the forefront of pushing the Arabs to reject the 1948 United Nations partition plan and to wage a "war of destruction" against the fledgling Jewish state. His great admirer, Yasser Arafat, would later succeed him as Palestinian leader.
...
The mufti "invented a new form of Jew-hatred by recasting it in an Islamic mold," according to German scholar Matthias Küntzel. The mufti's fusion of European anti-Semtism-particularly the genocidal variety-with Koranic views of Jewish wickedness has become the hallmark of Islamists world-wide, from al Qaeda to Hamas and Hezbollah. During his time in Berlin, the mufti ran the Nazis' Arab-language propaganda radio program, which incited Muslims in the Mideast to "kill the Jews wherever you find them. This pleases God, history and religion." Among the many listeners was also the man later known as Ayatollah Khomeini, who used to tune in to Radio Berlin every evening, according to Amir Taheri's biography of the Iranian leader. Khomeini's disciple Mahmoud Ahmadinejad still spews the same venom pioneered by the mufti as do Islamic hate preachers around the world '

Spread the word about the links between the Palestinians and the Nazis. Maybe this picture could help illustrate the link, this is of Hezbollah (more accurately hizb' Allah) terrorists saluting in a familiar manner in 2008

Or this one from the West Bank just this weekend, flying right near the mosque in the Palestinian town of Beit Omar

Oddly no Palestinians were offended enough to remove the flag. Strange that...
