The opposition!

Okay. I’m coming out of my post-election depression. I’m starting to pay attention to the news again. And I’ve made a decision.

No ‘loyal’ opposition to the B. Hussein Administration.

Just plain, pure, opposition.

I’ve started off by printing this out and plastering it on my car.

More to follow…

How bizarre is this?  The taliban is asking human rights groups for help. Yes. That taliban.

The very least human of life forms, is seeking help from human rights groups AND the UN, AND the UN agrees ..  AND ... So does the EU.
Surprised?

Some world huh.

Apparently Afghanistan has now resumed the execution of prisoners.  The UN and the EU don’t like that and so keeping up their long standing tradition of sticking their noses into the legal affairs and customs of other people, they are protesting.  Silly dirt bags.

Afghanistan executed nine rapists, kidnappers, murders and militants in the last week and has support from the people weary of rising crime.

Taliban calls on human rights groups to stop executions
Afghanistan’s Taliban have called on human rights groups to stop the Afghan government executing prisoners.

A website statement said to come from the organisation’s leadership council called the recent execution of nine death row prisoners, including convicted insurgents, “barbaric” and raised concerns about fair trials.

Mr Karzai’s decision to sign the execution orders after a 13-month moratorium has been criticised by the United Nations and European Union who have also questioned the standards of the Afghan judicial system.

The Taliban, who became internationally notorious for public executions during their regime, accused Karzai’s government of corruption and said: “We strongly request the UN, the EU, the Red Cross and human rights groups to earnestly prevent this barbaric act.”

It also warned the government against more executions, saying the officials responsible would be punished.

Afghans fearful of rising crime have welcomed the recent execution of men convicted of child molesting, kidnap, murder and insurgent attacks.

The Taliban regime brutally punished criminals after they swept to power in the mid 1990s pledging to bring justice and peace to a country blighted by lawlessness and feuding warlords.

Thieves had hands or feet amputated, while murderers were regularly shot dead in front of packed football stadiums.

The Taliban, now fighting to overthrow Mr Karzai’s government, have executed dozens of captured soldiers and civilians since they were ousted in 2001.

A side note on crime over there.  Three Afghan schoolgirls suffered serious burns when attackers sprayed acid in their faces as they walked to school. The brave and manly attackers ripped off the girls’ headscarves before the attack.  Those wearing the full length burkas were left alone.
And the UN and EU are worried about what?

Secret enclaves of al-Qaeda extremists based in London, planning mass-casualty attacks in Britain

Just the thing I wanna see very first thing on a sleepy Sunday morning.. 

Oh btw ... can NOT deport many of these sub humans due to civil and human rights issues.  I’d no idea insects or vermin had civil rights, but I guess so.

Report identifies UK terrorist enclaves
Secret enclaves of al-Qaeda extremists based in London, Birmingham and Luton are planning mass-casualty attacks in Britain, according to a leaked Government intelligence report.

By Sean Rayment, Security Correspondent
Last Updated: 6:48AM GMT 09 Nov 2008

The document, which was drawn up by the intelligence branch of the Ministry of Defence, MI5 and Special Branch, states that “some thousands” of extremists are active in the UK. They are predominantly UK-born and aged between 18 and 30, and many are believed to have been trained in overseas terrorist camps.

Under the heading “International Terrorism”, the report, which is marked “restricted” states: “For the foreseeable future the UK will continue to be a high-priority target for international terrorists aligned with al-Qaeda. It will face a threat from British nationals, including Muslim converts, and UK-based foreign terrorists, as well as terrorists planning attacks from abroad.”

The report states that the threat from the Islamist extremist community in the UK is “diverse and widely distributed” but adds that the numbers of terrorist in Britain is “difficult to judge”.

The document does state, however, that the Joint Terrorism Analysis Centre, which is based in MI5’s headquarters at Thames House in London, estimates that there are “some thousands of extremists in the UK committed to supporting Jihadi activities, either in the UK or abroad”.

A year ago Jonathan Evans, the director general of MI5, said in a speech that his organisation had identified that there were at least 2,000 individuals who posed a threat to national security and public safety.

Since 2001, over 1,200 terrorist suspect have been arrested, over 140 have been charged and more than 45 have been convicted of terrorism offences, according to Home Office figures. It is also estimated that there are some 200 terrorist networks functioning in Britain today who are involved in at least 30 plots.

But this latest security assessment appears to suggest that the number of individuals who now pose a threat to the UK is even higher.

The report continues: “The majority of extremists are British nationals of south Asian, mainly Pakistani origin but there are also extremists from north and east Africa, Iraq and the Middle East, and a number of converts. The overwhelming majority of extremists are male, typically in the 18-30 age range.

“The main extremist concentrations are in London, Birmingham, with significant extremist networks in the South East, notably Luton. Extremist networks are principally engaged in spreading their extremist message, training, fund raising and procuring non-lethal military equipment to support the Jihads in Pakistan, Afghanistan and Iraq, and sending recruits to the conflicts.

“UK-based extremists, either under the direction of al-Qaeda, or inspired by al-Qaeda’s ideology of global Jihad, have also engaged in attack planning in the UK.”

Although the document specifically names London, Birmingham and south east England as areas of extremist activity, MI5 believe that the threat posed by Islamist extremists comes from across the UK. In an attempt to deal with the growing number of terrorists, MI5 now has nine regional offices and has almost doubled its staff numbers from 1,800 in 2001 to 3,500 today.

There are around 1.5 million Muslims in Britain, a million of whom live in London. There are 150,000 Muslims in Birmingham and a further 27,000 in Luton. There are also an estimated 10,000 Afro-Caribbean Muslims or white converts.

Some of the terrorists involved in the plot to bring down airliners using liquid bombs came from London, where a bomb factory had been established.

Birmingham, one of the centres of Islamic radicalisation in Britain, was where a plot was formed to kidnap and behead a British soldier.

The plot was lead by Parviz Khan, an unemployed charity worker who formed a terrorist cell in the city. The extremists planned to video the execution and release the film on the internet.

Luton has a growing Muslim population and has been a hot-bed of radical activity. The extremist group al-Muhajiroun has also been very active in the town. The 7/7 bombers assembled in Luton, before travelling to London to carry out their attacks.

The document also reveals that many of the terror networks operating in the UK include extremists who have been trained in terrorist camps overseas and have “some ability to construct improvised explosive devices, incorporating home-made explosives”.

It adds: “The availability of training/guidance and the necessary components to build improvised explosive devices (IED), allied with extremists’ known targeting preferences, mean that IED attacks against crowded places, intended to cause mass casualties, are the most likely form of attack in the UK.”

It is also made clear in the report that al-Qaeda cells are planning further attacks in UK with the so-called Government Security Zone (GSZ), an area which covers the Houses of Parliament, Whitehall, Buckingham and St James’ Palaces, as a possible target. The threat level in the GSZ is described in the report as “severe”.

Security officials are convinced that UK-based al-Qaeda cells will attempt to carry out another “spectacular” inside the UK with major transport termini, such as airports and train stations, being the most likely targets.

Patrick Mercer, the Tory MP for Newark, said al-Qaeda now had support in large parts of the country, especially around Luton which was the spot where the 7/7 terrorists assembled before travelling to London to mount the Tube bombings.

He added: “We know that subversion and support for al-Qaeda is taking place in campuses and prisons all over the UK. The fact that we have not been attacked for over two years should not be taken by anyone as evidence that the threat has gone away, in fact it is just the contrary.”

Oops. . . that’s a flogging, not a stoning

More from the peaceful religion of Islam.

Mogadishu - A 13-year-old girl who said she had been raped was stoned to death in Somalia after being accused of adultery by Islamic militants, a human rights group said.

Dozens of men stoned Aisha Ibrahim Duhulow to death on October 27 in a stadium packed with 1 000 spectators in the southern port city of Kismayo, Amnesty International and Somali media reported, citing witnesses.

The Islamic militia in charge of Kismayo had accused her of adultery after she reported that three men had raped her, the rights group said.

Initial local media reports said Duhulow was 23, but her father told Amnesty International she was 13.

Some of the Somali journalists who first reported the killing later told Amnesty International that they had reported she was 23 based upon her physical appearance.

Dozens of men? To stone a 13-yr-old girl? In front of a thousand spectators? Stoning is a spectator sport in Islam?

It would seem that they violated the Koran:

The woman and the man guilty of adultery or fornication – flog each of them with a hundred stripes: let not compassion move you in their case, in a matter prescribed by Allah, if ye believe in Allah and the Last Day: and let a party of the Believers witness their punishment.
An-Noor [24:3]

Oops! That’s a flogging, not a stoning. But notice the compassion? Or lack thereof that is required by Allah? And it is a spectator sport!

Isn’t that sweet?

Islamists stone to death Somali woman for adultery.

Gee, maybe if the west gives them some money for health and safety and education and medicine and ... oh yeah.  West already has. Many times over the many years.
OK.. maybe if the west gives even more. And keeps on giving.  Right. I didn’t think so either.
It will NEVER, EVER make a bit of difference.

Islamists stone to death Somali woman for adultery

By Daily Mail Reporter
Last updated at 2:15 PM on 28th October 2008

Somali Islamists have stoned to death a woman accused of adultery in the first such public killing by the militants for about two years, witnesses said.

The 23-year-old woman was placed in a hole up to her neck for the execution late on Monday in front of hundreds of people in a square of the southern port of Kismayu, which the Islamist insurgents captured in August.

Stones were hurled at her head, and she was brought out of the hole three times to see if she had died.

When a relative and others surged forward, guards opened fire, killing a child, the witnesses said.

‘A woman in green veil and black mask was brought in a car as we waited to watch the merciless act of stoning,’ one local resident, Abdullahi Aden, told Reuters.

‘We were told she submitted herself to be punished, yet we could see her screaming as she was forcefully bound, legs and hands. A relative of hers ran towards her, but the Islamists opened fire and killed a child.’

The Islamists last carried out public executions when they ruled Mogadishu and most of south Somalia for half of 2006.

Allied Ethiopian and Somali government forces toppled them at the end of that year, but they have waged an Iraq-style guerrilla campaign since then, gradually taking territory back.

As when they ruled Mogadishu in 2006, the Islamists now controlling the Kismayu area are again providing much-needed security, but also imposing fundamentalist practices such as banning entertainment seen as anti-Islamic.

Relatives of the woman executed in Kismayu, whom they named as Asha Ibrahim Dhuhulow, were furious.

‘The stoning was totally irreligious and illogical,’ said her sister, who asked not to be named. ‘Islam does not execute a woman for adultery unless four witnesses and the man with whom she committed sex are brought forward publicly.’

Islamist leaders at the execution said the woman had breached Islamic law. They promised to punish the guard who had shot the child in the melee around the execution.

‘We apologise for killing the child. And we promise we shall bring the one who opened fire before the courts and deal with him accordingly,’ one unnamed Islamist leader told the crowd.’

SHARIA LAW IN ENGLAND?  IT’S OFFICIAL. BRIT COURTS TO RUBBER STAMP SOME SHARIA RULINGS.

MAYBE NOT THE FULL MONTY.  Not yet, but the thin edge of the Sharia blade is here.

So, ya think we’re next in the USA?  Hey, if they’re only ruling on fellow muslims. ?  What’s the problem?
Surely you don’t think they will eventually rule on everything.  Nah ... couldn’t happen.  After all, they belong to the ROP.
Reasonable and civilized folk.  Our new best friends.

Kind of arbitrary for me to have posted this when it has nothing to do with the story.  Couldn’t resist the urge.

Sharia rulings on divorces and disputes to be rubber-stamped by English courts
A Government decision to allow Islamic courts in Britain the right to rule on family disputes and divorces has been condemned as discriminatory to women.

By Chris Hastings, Public Affairs Editor
Last Updated: 9:03AM GMT 26 Oct 2008

Civil rights campaigners are angry that ministers have approved plans to allow Sharia councils in Britain the right to settle disputes regarding money, property and access to children.

They say such tribunals are institutions for male domination which treat women like second-class citizens.

Couples who choose to use the Sharia system must get the ruling rubber-stamped by a judge sitting in an ordinary family court.

But neither party has to attend this hearing and approval can be obtained by filling in a two-page application.

The endorsement of Sharia was announced to MPs by Bridget Prentice, a junior minister, in answer to a parliamentary question.

She said Sharia councils would still have no jurisdiction in England, and rulings by religious authorities would have no legal force.

But she added: “If, in a family dispute dealing with money or children, the parties to a judgement in Sharia council wish to have this recognised by English authorities, they are at liberty to draft a consent order embodying the terms of the agreement and submit it to an English court. This allows English judges to scrutinise it to ensure that it complies with English legal tenets.”

Campaigners condemned the plans as unacceptable and said that the rulings were not compatible with English law, while the Conservatives insisted that should be safeguards for women.

Nick Herbert, the shadow justice secretary, said: “There can be no place for parallel legal systems in our country.

“It is vital that in matrimonial disputes where a Sharia council is involved, women’s rights are protected and judgments are non-binding.”

Another Conservative spokesman, Paul Goodman, the shadow minister for communities and local government, accused the Government of keeping the public in the dark and warned: “There must be one British law for everyone.”

Dr David Green, the Director of the Civitas think tank, said: “I think there are a number of problems with regards to Sharia law. These Sharia councils are supposed to operate under the Arbitration Act which allows citizens in a free society to settle their disputes on a voluntary basis if they so wish.

“But that legislation assumes that both parts are regarded as being equal. I think the problem is with tribunals like these you can’t always be sure that women would be treated equally.

“Under Islam a man can divorce a woman just by saying I divorce you three times. But a woman must go to a Sharia court to seek a divorce. Often the ruling goes in favour of the woman, but I think on the whole these councils are institutions for male domination. As a result I do not believe these rulings and proceedings should be recognised under British law.

“Under the traditions of Sharia law the voice of a women is not equal to that of a man.”

Mr Goodman said he did not object to the new rules in principle, on condition that all women were in receipt of proper safeguards. But he criticised the manner in which the Government had quietly introduced the new rules.

“The manner in which the Government has introduced these rules has been completely unsatisfactory,” he said. “There was no major announcement about this when it was quietly introduced in 2007. The public have been kept in the dark about what is going on.”

“Our understanding is that certain Muslim arbitration tribunals have been licensed to operate in the confines of the Arbitration Act just like the Jewish beth din courts. We have no objection in principle to these organisations operating within the confinements of the Arbitration Act.

“But we would be concerned about Sharia councils operating outside the confines of the Arbitration Act. We have raised concerns that in all circumstances women who attend these proceedings should and must attend on a voluntary basis.”

A spokesman for the Ministry of Justice defended the changes. She said: “These procedures would not allow anything that would not be permissible under UK law.

“The Sharia Council can sit both parties down if both sides agree and produce a consent order. This then has to be approved by a judge sitting in a family court.”

Islamic tribunals have authority to make decisions in business and financial disputes where both parties are free to accept arbitration. Five Sharia courts operate mediation systems under the Arbitration Act of 1996.

But campaigners say financial disputes are less controversial because they are much less likely to raise problems over the status of women.

A spokesman for the Bar Council also defended the new changes, saying: “Anything that is decided under the Arbitration Act cannot run counter to the fundamental principles of English law.”

To the scaffold with the rubbish Sandwich Stasi who thinks a workman’s lunch is industrial waste.

Oh people believe me.  This fellow must be read by you.  He often concerns himself with internal politics and names that would mean nothing to you, so I generally pick out the parts that would have meaning to us.  Or else as in this case, something so totally insane, so bizarre, so untotally unbelievable, so, so..
dumb?  Oh hell ... see for yourself.  This can’t all be true surely.  Even for here.  I tell ya people, this article has everything.

Below the fold, it even has muslims. Doesn’t everything these days?  Yeah. Apparently, Firemen are to take a compulsory course on, “Getting Along With Islam islam.”

RICHARD LITTLEJOHN: To the scaffold with the rubbish Sandwich Stasi who thinks a workman’s lunch is industrial waste

The rubbish arm of the law: Bin rules are becoming a mockery of themselves

The rubbish arm of the law: Bin rules are becoming a mockery of themselves

Today’s edition of Warden Hodges’ Britain comes from Liverpool, where war has been declared on the illegal disposal of industrial waste. Every firm in the city is getting a visit from enforcement officers working for a public-private agency set up by the council.

Last week it was the turn of Frank Hughes, who runs a small scaffolding hire company. The inspector asked him how he disposes of his waste.

Frank said he doesn’t. He explained that scaffolding is a relatively simple business which doesn’t generate waste.

But you must eat lunch, the inspector retaliated. I bring sandwiches, Frank told him. And before you ask, I take the wrapping home with me.

In which case, you’re breaking the law, the jobsworth informed him. Sandwich wrappings are classified as industrial waste within the meaning of the Act. You need a licence to dispose of them.

And since you don’t have one, you are committing a criminal offence. Frank would be hearing from the litigation department in connection with this heinous crime and could expect a minimum fine of £300.

With that, the official ticked all the relevant boxes and goose-stepped his way out, another job well-done.

Frank wrote to me in despair. ‘I am not making this up,’ he assures me. I don’t think you are for a moment, guv.

It wouldn’t have surprised me if the inspector had produced a roll of CSI-style crime scene tape, cordoned off the building, declared the whole business off-limits, called for armed police back-up and ordered Frank to cease trading immediately.

‘Enviro-crime’ is the new ‘hate crime’. All must be punished, all the time.

Many councils have already hired teams of environmental crime enforcers. In Salford, they have started patrolling the streets looking for any emptied dustbins still on the pavement at 11am.

Offenders are issued with fixed-penalty fines.

This is particularly distressing for pensioners and for mothers with young children who return from shopping trips to discover they have been nicked.

How are people out at work expected to bring in their bins before 11am? Has that occurred to the morons at the Town Hall?

I shouldn’t have thought so for a moment. And even if it did, it would be considered a bonus, increasing the potential for punishment and revenue-raising.

These are just two, tiny examples of the perverted manner in which those we pay to perform straightforward duties go out of their way to persecute us. By tonight, my inbox will be full of dozens more.

Prevention of illegal dumping is a noble pursuit. No one wants chemicals poured away in suburban gutters, or asbestos casually chucked over the fence of the local children’s playground.

Too many country hedgerows and city side-streets are besmirched by fly-tipping, an unpleasant but inevitable side-effect of scrapping weekly rubbish collections in the name of saving the polar bears.

But that’s no excuse for the Sandwich Stasi. It takes a pedantry bordering on extreme mental illness to define greaseproof paper used for wrapping a round of cheese and pickle as ‘industrial waste’ - let alone demanding that someone has to possess a licence to dispose of it.

Similarly, having the pavements cluttered with empty dustbins isn’t particularly desirable. But fining people for not bringing them in by mid-morning is outrageous.

What are they supposed to do - take an hour off work or stay at home until the dustmen have been?

Of course, none of this would be necessary if councils hadn’t ended the traditional method of rubbish collection. Some of us can remember when dustmen came round to the back of your house, carried your bin to the cart, emptied it and then returned it to whence it came.

Now you are expected to wheel your own bin to the front gate - and woe betide you if you don’t leave it in exactly the place designated by the council. Even a few inches out and they’ll refuse to empty it. Then the ‘environmental crime’ wardens will come along and issue you with a fine.

Those charged with waste disposal in Britain have taken leave of their senses. They have forgotten that they are public servants. They see themselves as evangelical environmental warriors and the rest of us are their enemy.

They now exist purely to bully, fine and punish us.

It is nothing short of monstrous that hard-working, law-abiding small businessmen like Frank Hughes - the backbone of the nation - can be treated in this fashion.

While he is doing everything he can to battle through a recession not of his making, his taxes are going towards paying the salary and pension of a jumped-up, otherwise-unemployable twerp who proposes to fine him £300 for ‘illegal disposal’ of a sandwich wrapping.

For two decades, this column has made a career out of exposing the unbending lunacy and sheer bloody-mindedness of British bureaucrats, but the monster marches ravenously on.

At a time when we can least afford it, we are being bled white to finance the Sandwich Stasi and hundreds of thousands of index-linked, spiteful, self-righteous parasites.

In another life, these are the very people who would have been loading the cattle trucks to the concentration camps.

To the scaffold with the lot of them.

OH SO, YA THINK THE ABOVE IS A TAD OVER THE TOP?  YOU THINK THEY’VE FINALLY REACHED THE END OF THE DUMB LINE?
HA!  TAKE ANOTHER THUNK AND SEE THIS IN THE EXTENDED TEXT.  YOU MIGHT FALL DOWN SO PLEASE BE SEATED.

Woman aid worker gunned down by Taliban motorbike killers in Kabul for ‘spreading Christianity.

One of the comments posted at the Daily Mail on this story has this to say.

The poster does have a valid point.  Surely the poor woman must have known how dangerous was her position.  Maybe she felt safe and so gave no thought to it.  I have to feel sorry for her and her family, even if I think she just didn’t belong there.  Well, thinking about it I guess help has to come from somewhere.  But I wonder just how much actual good it all does.  That place has been a stone age culture since forever.  And why do some Christians think they are duty bound to convert anyone else if those others are perfectly content with what they already have and believe in?  I don’t know if they’re brave or foolhardy. Maybe a bit of both?  Still, it is damn sad.

And Colin Powell doesn’t approve the way Republicans on the right treat with or view muslims.  Gee, can’t understand that either. They are rational, civilized people who belong to a religion of peace after all.  quick ... where’s the barf bag? 

A PS for BMEWS viewers least you think I can’t spell.  I refuse to spell muslim or islam with caps. I’m not certain anymore but I think I may have picked that up from Skipper, and so it will remain.

British woman aid worker gunned down by Taliban motorbike killers in Kabul for ‘spreading Christianity’

Last updated at 12:58 PM on 20th October 2008

A British woman working for a Christian charity helping disabled Afghans was shot dead by the Taliban in Kabul as she walked to work early this morning, officials said.

Gayle Williams worked for SERVE Afghanistan, which describes itself as a Christian charity. It confirmed the incident but would not give any details.

‘Our people carried out this attack in District 3 of Kabul this morning at 7am,’ the Taliban’s spokesman Zabiullah Mujahed said.

‘The reason that we killed her was because she was spreading Christianity.’

A government spokesman, Zemarai Bashary, said: ‘Two armed men sitting on a motorbike shot her dead. Some bullets hit her body and some hit her leg and when police got there she was dead.’

A witness said he had seen the woman walk along the same route to work in the upmarket western Kart-e-Char suburb for about two years.

A builder, who gave his name as Daulad, said he had heard seven shots and when he looked into the street he saw a woman lying on a footpath.

It is rare that foreign nationals are killed in the Afghan capital, although there have been several kidnappings.

There have been three assassinations in the southern city of Kandahar in recent weeks, also carried out by men on motorbikes.

The insurgent Taliban - in government between 1996 and 2001 - claimed responsibility for two of the killings involving the city’s most senior policewoman and a government official.

The third was of a top tribal elder shot dead with his son, a former bodyguard of President Hamid Karzai, as they left a mosque early in the morning.

An NGO security group said last week that attacks on aid workers by insurgents in Afghanistan were at the highest level in six years.

There had been 146 security incidents involving non-government organisations to September this year compared to 135 for the whole of 2007, the Afghanistan NGO Safety Office (ANSO) said in a quarterly report.

They included 28 killings, among them five international workers, and 72 abductions, the group said.

Among the victims were three Western women aid workers with the International 90 Rescue Committee who were gunned down with their driver about 30 miles outside of Kabul in August.

The women were a British and Canadian citizen, a Canadian national and a Trinidad and American national.

The Taliban claimed responsibility for the murders, the worst involving the foreign aid community in years.

ANSO said in its report that it was reluctant to support the idea that NGOs were being directly targeted for their own activities rather than for being mistakenly associated with the international military forces in Afghanistan.

The watchdog urged aid groups to begin ‘strongly reinforcing their independence and moving away from political and military actors’ for their own protection.

AND THESE ARE THE FOLKS WE’RE TOLD WE SHOULD NEGOTIATE WITH. ALL IN A DAYS WORK.

Some pols have suggested that the west needs to talk to these folks. Right.  How does one carry on a conversation with an insect?

Taliban kill 30 on bus in southern Afghanistan
Taliban militants have stopped a bus travelling on the Afghanistan’s main highway, seized about 50 people on board and slaughtered around 30 of them.

A Taliban spokesman said the militia’s fighters carried out the attack in the country’s south and that they had killed 27 Afghan army soldiers riding on the bus. However, Afghan officials said no soldiers were aboard and that the militants had killed civilians.

The bus was travelling in a two-bus convoy in the Maiwand district of Kandahar province, a Taliban-controlled area about 40 miles (60 kilometers) west of Kandahar city.

Matiullah Khan, the provincial police chief, said bout 50 people were taken hostage, though several were freed.

Officials offered varying death tolls from the attack, which occurred in an area of Afghanistan that government forces cannot safely travel to without heavy military protection.

The Afghan Defense Ministry spokesman, Gen. Mohammad Zahir Azimi, said 31 people were killed. Six of the dead were beheaded in a separate area of Maiwand from where the other 25 bodies were found, he said.

Mr Khan said authorities had arrested four Taliban commanders in connection with the attack.

Gen Azimi dismissed the Taliban claim that 27 soldiers had been killed. “Our soldiers travel by military convoy, not in civilian buses. And we have military air transportation.

“The Taliban want to hide the news that they arrested and killed innocent Afghan civilians,” he said.

Taliban spokesman Qari Yousef Ahmadi said militants looked at the documents of those traveling on the bus, released all the civilians and killed only soldiers. Taliban spokesmen often exaggerate their claims but occasionally their information matches with the government version of events.

Mr Khan said two buses had been traveling together, and the militants had tried to stop the first one but failed. He said the insurgents fired at the first bus and killed one child on board.

Taliban attacks have become increasingly lethal this year, as the militia has gained power and surged throughout southern and eastern Afghanistan. Violence in Afghanistan this year has killed more than 5,100 people — mostly militants.

I should not be so quick to blame the mudman because it’s the pc left lunatics and libtard fools that have indoctrinated various groups who now take for granted that they have all these “rights” under freedom of religion and civil rights etc.
Second:
This place is doomed anyway so it doesn’t matter anymore, I suppose. Nuts! 

Seems to me you’re hired to do a job and paid to service the community. Oh, but not so anymore.
Can you imagine what the reaction would have been say 50 years ago before this place got flooded with immigrants from another century?
Yeah I know this particular pill wasn’t around then but that ain’t the point.
Geez I am PO’d this could happen.  Tesco is WRONG and so is the organization that backs this kind of dumb and utterly moronic rule.

Mother is denied pill by Muslim pharmacist
A woman was refused the “morning-after pill” by a supermarket’s duty pharmacist because it was against his religious beliefs.

Ruth Johnson, 33, who has two children, including a month-old baby, had not been using her usual method of contraception with her fiancée.

She went to the Tesco dispensary in Hewitts Circus, Cleethorpes, Lincs, and asked an as assistant for the pill Levanelle.

Miss Johnson was told it could only be dispensed by the locum pharmacist who was called to speak with her.

She said: “He came out from behind a screen and told me that he would not be allowing me to buy the pill from him because he had a right to refuse to sell it on the basis of his personal beliefs.

“The pharmacist was of Asian origin so I asked him if it was because of his religion and he replied ‘Yes’.”

Miss Johnson, from Cleethorpes, was left feeling ashamed and worried and complained to the store manager who told her they couldn’t force the pharmacist to sell the product.

She said: “I asked him if a Jewish or Muslim checkout operator could refuse to sell pork or alcohol or if a Jehovah’s Witness could refuse to sell birthday and Christmas cards.”

Her concern is that the policy could deter teenage girls from seeking the morning-after pill.

“I appreciate we live in a multi-cultural society but what gives him the right to impose his beliefs onto me?” she added.

(Righst? What rights? In a multi culture society, only minorities have any “rights.” And these days, especially mudslimes. Stone age MFers)

A Tesco spokesman said the pharmacist was acting within his rights to refuse to sell the pill and the customer was advised where else she could buy the product.

(Well Tesco is bloody well WRONG!  Why should a customer have to go somewhere else to buy a legal product ok’d by her doctor as I’m sure she must have had an Rx or why ask the pharmacist? This kinda crap is getting worse by the day. And oh btw, a pharmacist can and they do refuse to sell legal drugs they do not approve of, as my post of some months ago pointed out.  They have a totally insane system here. )

He said: “We do apologise to Miss Johnson for the inconvenience caused. However, the Royal Pharmaceutical Society’s code of ethics allows pharmacists the right to refuse.”

The Society said its code of ethics and standards is adopted by all healthcare bodies.

Its does not require a pharmacist to provide a service that is contrary to their religious or moral beliefs but any attempt by a pharmacist to impose their beliefs on a customer seeking professional help without offering an alternative could form the basis of a professional misconduct complaint.

Two years ago Jo-Ann Thomas, a school crossing patrolwoman with two children, faced a similar situation in Thurcroft, Rotherham, South Yorkshire.

She was told by a Muslim pharmacist at Lloyds Pharmacy near her home that she should go to her doctor for supplies even though the item was in stock.

She said at the time: “I’m a 37 year old woman, not a daft girl who doesn’t know what she’s doing. It’s my choice not his. It’s his religion not mine. He’s a dispensing chemist and his job is to dispense drugs.”

Iconic Afghan policewoman shot dead.  (form the other side of the world via Al Jazeera)

Well heck.  When will women simply learn their place and be happy raising multiple children and accepting slave status?  Is that too much to ask?
Jews too. And other infidels like Christians and in fact, everyone who isn’t a talibanee.  Cretins!

Story Credit: AlJazeera

A woman regarded as Afghanistan’s most prominent female police officer has been shot dead in the southern city of Kandahar, a government official has said.

Malalai Kakar, the head of the city’s department on crimes against women, was attacked by armed men on Sunday as she left her home, Zalmay Ayoobi, a Kandahar government spokesman, said.

“Today between 7am [0230 GMT] and 8am when she was [in her car] outside her house and going to her job, some gunmen attacked,” Ayoobi said.

“Malalai Kakar died in front of her house. Her son was wounded.”

Kandahar is a traditional stronghold of the Taliban, which is fighting an armed campaign against the Afghan government and US and Nato forces in the country.

Kakar, who was in her late 30s, was shot in the head, a doctor said.

“She died on the spot and her son, who was badly injured, is in a coma in the hospital,” he said without giving his name.

A spokesman for the Taliban said that the assassins were from his group.

“We killed Malalai Kakar,” Yousuf Ahmadi, spokesman told the AFP news agency, said.

“She was our target, and we successfully eliminated our target.”

Death threats

Kakar, a police captain and mother of six, led a 10-strong team of women police officers and had reportedly received numerous death threats in recent months.

She was well-respected in the police force for her bravery, one of her colleagues said on condition of anonymity.

Her work attracted attention from international media outlets interested in her work in Kandahar.

She was the first woman to enrol in the Kandahar police force after the 2001 removal of the Taliban and had been involved in investigating crimes against women and children, and conducting house searches.

The head of Kandahar province’s women’s affairs department was killed in a similar way two years ago.

Assailants shot dead a female police officer in June in the western province of Herat in what was believed to be the first assassination of a female police officer in Afghanistan.

Afghanistan’s police force was destroyed by the time the Taliban were removed and is being rebuilt with international assistance. It numbers about 80,000 people, including a few hundred women.

About 750 policemen have been killed in the past six months, mostly in Taliban-linked violence sweeping the country.

Terror arrests linked to controversial Muslim book.  (here we go again?)

Well now this is a big surprise, is it not?

North London terror arrests linked to controversial Muslim book
Four people have been arrested in London over an alleged terror attack on the publisher of a controversial book on the prophet Muhammad.

By Andrew Alderson, Chief Reporter
Last Updated: 9:44AM BST 28 Sep 2008

The arrests are connected to a fire at a property in Islington, north London, which is used as the home and office of Martin Rynja, a publisher.

His company, Gibson Square, recently bought the rights to a novel which is considered by some to be more controversial than Salman Rushdie’s book, The Satanic Verses. The new book, about the prophet Muhammad and his child bride, is entitled The Jewel of Medina.

The blaze yesterday, which led to people being evacuated from the house, may have been started by a petrol bomb pushed through the letter box.

Initially, three men, aged 22, 30 and 40, were detained at around 2.25am yesterday after a fire broke out at a property in Lonsdale Square, Islington. Two were stopped by armed officers in Lonsdale Square, and the third was seized when a car was stopped by armed police near Angel underground station.

Random House US, the major publishing group, announced in May this year that it was dropping its plans to publish Sherry Jones’s debut novel following warnings that it could incite acts of violence from radical Muslims. The Jewel of the Medina was also pulled from bookshops in Serbia last month after pressure from an Islamic group.

Gibson Square, which has previously published other controversial books, bought the rights to Jones’s book after Random House pulled out. It paid what it described as a “compelling” advance to acquire The Jewel of Medina. The book will be published by Gibson Square next month [October] in Britain, Australia and New Zealand. In the US, the book will be published by Beaufort Books.

Speaking before yesterday’s attack, Mr Rynja said: “In an open society there has to be open access to literary works, regardless of fear. As an independent publishing company, we feel strongly that we should not be afraid of the consequences of debate.

“If a novel of quality and skill that casts light on a beautiful subject we know too little of in the West, but have a genuine interest in, cannot be published here, it would truly mean that the clock has been turned back to the dark ages. The Jewel of Medina has become an important barometer of our time.”

Mr Rynja added that as a small publisher, Gibson Square would be more capable of handling any controversy. “With a book that is controversial – and we’ve done a number – it is incredibly important that it is looked at from all sides. That is very difficult for a large publisher to do as they are looking at 200 titles a month so a controversial one is just one in the mix.”

He said that he hoped that once people read the novel in its entirety there would be a “healthy discussion” about its content. “[Jones has] done very careful and detailed research for the novel – she’s writing about this love story which even after 1,400 years we don’t know much about.” Mr Rynja was unavailable for comment yesterday.

Ms Jones, also speaking before yesterday’s attack, said that her novel had was not intended to be disrespectful to Islam. “I have deliberately and consciously written respectfully about Islam and Mohammed … I envisaged that my book would be a bridge-builder.”

Random House was told by security experts and academics that the novel, for which it paid a $100,000 (£55,000) advance, was potentially more incendiary than both The Satanic Verses and the Danish newspaper cartoons of Muhammad. Random House decided not to publish the title “for the safety of the author, employees of Random House Inc, booksellers and anyone else who would be involved in distribution and sale of the book”.

(SO .... MUS-SLIMES WIN AGAIN.  NICE TO KNOW THE BASTARDS CAN DICTATE WHAT BOOKS SHOULD BE PUBLISHED IN THE WEST.)

The publication of The Satanic Verses in 1988 saw attempts made on the lives of Rushdie’s Italian and Norwegian publishers, while the Japanese translator of the book was killed.

Police also searched four addresses around north-east London yesterday - two in Walthamstow, one in Ilford and one in Forest Gate.

The men, who were arrested on suspicion of the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism, were being questioned at a central London police station.

Later yesterday a fourth person, a woman, was arrested at a property in Ilford for allegedly obstructing the police, a spokesman for Scotland Yard said.

The police confirmed that there had been small fire inside the property in Lonsdale Square, which had to be put out. “At this early stage it is being linked with the arrests,” the spokesman added.

Residents in Lonsdale Square said armed police, assisted by fire-fighters, broke down the door to the targeted property at around 2.30 yesterday morning.

Francesca Liebowitz, 16, who lives nearby with her parents, said: “The police couldn’t get the door open so the fire brigade battered it down.

“There was smoke coming from around the door, but I don’t know whether that was because of the door being broken down. They evacuated people from the house. It’s a bit scary to have this happen on your doorstep.”

A neighbour and friend of Mr Rynja said the company normally published books on current affairs, and said the publisher had never expressed concerns that his work might endanger his safety. A green hoarding covered the doorway to the four-storey town house yesterday afternoon.

Irritated Islamists

This post is neither from or about Europe.

I just can’t muster much of my ‘give-a-damn’.

Chemical irritant empties Islamic Society of Greater Dayton mosque

By Kyle Nagel

Staff Writer

Saturday, September 27, 2008

DAYTON — Baboucarr Njie was preparing for his prayer session Friday night, Sept. 26, when he heard children in the Islamic Society of Greater Dayton coughing. Soon, Njie himself was overcome with fits of coughing and, like the rest of those in the building, headed for the doors.

“I would stay outside for a minute, then go back in, there were a lot of kids,“ Njie said. “My throat is still itchy, I need to get some milk.“

Njie was one of several affected when a suspected chemical irritant was sprayed into the mosque at 26 Josie St., bringing Dayton police, fire and hazardous material personnel to the building at 9:48 p.m.

Someone “sprayed an irritant into the mosque,“ Dayton fire District Chief Vince Wiley said, noting that fire investigators believe it was a hand-held spray can.

I’m thinking that the mosque already had several ‘irritants’ in it.

According to fire dispatch communications, a child reported seeing two men with a white can spraying something into a window. That child was brought to the supervising firefighter at the scene.

Wiley would not discuss that report, but said the investigation has been turned over to police. Police were not commenting.

The 300 or so inside were celebrating the last 10 days of Ramadan with dinner and a prayer session, but the prayer session was interrupted so those suffering from tearing, coughing and shortness of breath could receive treatment.

See, 300 irritants were present to start with.
