Poor Taste With An Extra Shot Of Awesomeness
Abu Hamza Gets Hooked
European court of human rights says the radical cleric can be extradited to the US to face terrorism charges
Abu Hamza, the radical cleric who became the face of violent extremism in Britain, can be extradited to the US to face terrorism charges, the European court of human rights has ruled.
The court in Strasbourg said the human rights of Hamza and four other men held in Britain – Babar Ahmad, Syed Talha Ahsan, Adel Abdel Bary and Khaled al-Fawwaz – would not be violated if sent to the US to stand trial. European judges decided they needed more information about the mental health of Haroon Aswat, an aide to Hamza, before reaching a decision on him.
David Cameron welcomed the court’s ruling. Speaking during a trade mission to south-east Asia, he said: “I am very pleased with the news. It is quite right that we have proper legal processes, although sometimes one can get frustrated with how long they take.”
The home secretary, Theresa May, said the government “will work to ensure that the suspects are handed over to the US authorities as quickly as possible”.
Hamza, who controlled the Finsbury Park mosque in north London and turned it into a factory for violent jihad, was sentenced to seven years’ imprisonment in Britain after being convicted in 2006 of inciting hatred.
The previous government had wanted him sent to the US before his jail term had been completed, but the extradition was halted after his lawyers went to the European court.
The European court of human rights halted extradition proceedings in July 2010, arguing it needed more time to consider complaints that transferring Hamza and others wanted in the US risked breaching their rights by exposing them to possible life imprisonment without parole and solitary confinement.
Ahmad, who the US claims ran a website allegedly raising funds for Islamic extremists, is a computer expert from south London. He has been on remand and refused bail since his arrest in August 2004 on a US extradition warrant.
He was awarded £60,000 in compensation because of the violence British police used during his arrest in December 2003, during which he was punched, kicked and throttled. His case has been supported by the former transport minister Sadiq Khan, who is a family friend and Labour frontbencher.
In the Hamza case, the US has had to given written assurances that it will not impose the death penalty or place the suspects before Guantánamo Bay-style military tribunals.
The US alleges Hamza was in contact with Taliban and al-Qaida terrorists and aided the taking of 16 western tourists as hostages in Yemen in December 1998, an incident that ended in the deaths of three Britons. He is also charged with attempting to set up a training camp for “violent jihad” in Oregon in 1999, along with Aswat.
Nice of the euro-wienies to allow the UK to give us their #1 problem child. Too bad we had to agree not to shoot the hook handed bastard or slowly lower him into the wood chipper to get him over here. On the other hand, it was Obama and Holder who made the agreement, so for once their two faced duplicity might come in useful.
So what do we do with this freak once we get him? Lyndon has the answer; when life gives you lemons you make lemonade. And if the lemons are rotten you can just throw them at the wall for fun. So we’ll give Hanza a “fair trial”, and then put him in solitary somewhere dark and damp forever, and forget about him. And in the meantime, we’ll mock the crap out of him, and turn his fearsome visage into a joke with a slightly useful purpose.
Behold the source of Lyndon’s new avatar, the Abu Hamza key holder. Very poor taste, but funny as all hell. And there’s no point in having terrorists if we can’t laugh at them on a daily basis.
About $5, or make your own. Absolute awesomeness.

Al Qaeda Takes Over Mali
Mali, West Africa. A landlocked mostly desert nation about 2/3 the size of Texas. Shaped like a reversed L, looking like a baby buggy going to the left. Northern Mali is mostly empty sand, with few people and fewer towns. One of these is the fabled city of Timbuktu, a small place where many homes and mosques are built of mud, yet the buildings are more than 1,000 years old. It’s a walled city a mile and a half long and a mile wide, home to 50,000, located near the only sources of open water in the region. Once upon a time it was a trading nexus, the place where the caravan trails crossed. No more. Now Timbuktu and most of the north has fallen to Toureg rebels, nomadic mercenaries who fought for Ghadaffi in Libya, then looted his armories at the end and headed south. Looks like they caught a big dose of Jihad Fever when they were there.
Islamists impose sharia in Mali’s Timbuktu
Mali’s crisis deepened Wednesday, as officials in the fabled northern city of Timbuktu confirmed that the Islamic rebel faction that seized control of the town over the weekend has announced it will impose sharia law.
Rebels in the country’s distant north have taken advantage of the power vacuum created last month when renegade soldiers in the capital of Bamako overthrew the nation’s democratically elected leader. In the chaos that followed the March 21 coup, they advanced on strategic towns in the north, including the ancient city of Timbuktu, located over 620 miles (1,000 kilometers) from the capital.
The ethnic Tuareg rebels included a secular faction fighting for independence, and an Islamic wing, Ansar Dine, whose reclusive leader called a meeting of all the imams in the city on Tuesday to make his announcement.
“He had the meeting to make his message to the people known, that sharia law is now going to be applied,” said the Mayor of Timbuktu Ousmane Halle, who was reached by telephone. “When there is a strongman in front of you, you listen to him. You can’t react,” he said, when asked what the reaction was of the imams of a historic town known for its religious pluralism and its moderate interpretation of Islam.
“Things are going to heat up here. Our women are not going to wear the veil just like that,” said the mayor.
Don’t bet on it. They’ll veil up soon enough when the rapes and beheadings begin.
The rebels launched their insurgency in January, saying they wanted to establish an independent Tuareg homeland in the north, known as the Azawad. They only succeeded in taking small towns until March 21, when disgruntled soldiers stormed the presidential palace in the distant capital of Bamako, overthrowing the democratically elected president.
In the confusion that followed the coup, the rebels launched a new offensive and succeeded in taking the capitals of the three main northern provinces, including Kidal, which fell last Friday, Gao on Saturday and Timbuktu on Sunday.
“The NMLA has reached the end of its military operations for the liberation of the territory of the Azawad,” said Assarid, speaking by telephone from Paris.
“Since the day before yesterday when our units reached Douentza which we consider to be the frontier of the Azawad,” he said, referring to a town some 375 miles from Bamako, “the military offensive is declared over.”
Assarid’s group is the largest rebel group involved in the offensive, but it is not the only one, and in the three main towns in the north, local officials say they cannot be sure which of the rebel armies has the upper hand. Western observers have expressed concern over the presence of an Islamist faction called Ansar Dine, which planted its ominous black flag in all three of the provincial capitals. This week, the group announced it was imposing Sharia law in the ancient city of Timbuktu.
The mayor of Timbuktu said nearly all of the estimated 300 Christians based in the city fled after Ansar Dine’s spiritual chief Iyad Ag Ghali gave an interview on local radio outlining the tenets of Sharia law: Women are to be covered at all times, thieves will have their hands cut off and adulterers will be stoned.
On Thursday, the Ansar Dine faction attacked the Algerian consulate in Gao and took hostage its employees, including the consul, according to an Algerian diplomat in Bamako who requested anonymity because he was not authorized to speak the press. It was unclear why the faction had attacked the consulate, though Algeria has aggressively fought Islamic extremists on its own soil, including AQIM, which has its roots in Algeria.
In Abidjan, where the military chiefs were meeting, the head of Ivory Coast’s army said that the possible link between the rebels and terrorism is reason enough for a possible military intervention.
“The advance of the National Liberation Movement of Azawad, associated with terrorist groups like AQIM and Ansar Dine and others, gives sufficient reason to the entire region to be put on notice,” said Gen. Soumaila Bakayoko.
I would be quite amazed if any West African coalition, aided by French logistical support, moves into Mali to push back the rebels.
Meanwhile, 2 of those 300 Christians who got out tell their story to the UK press:
Mrs. English’s Wild Ride [ apologies to Mr. Toad ]
A British couple have made a dramatic escape from Timbuktu after the town fell to al-Qaeda backed fighters following the military coup in Mali, The Daily Telegraph can disclose.
Neil Whitehead and Diane English fled across an 850-mile expanse of desert with the help of nomadic militiamen and African soldiers to reach Nouakchott, the capital of neighbouring Mauritania. They are now hoping to take sanctuary in the city’s French embassy.
The couple, who owned and ran a budget hotel in Timbuktu, were caught up in the fighting as the Malian army fled and Islamic extremists took control of the city following a coup that overthrew the country’s government.
They decided to make their perilous escape after learning that al-Qaeda had put a price on their heads.
Speaking to The Daily Telegraph after reaching Noukachott, Mrs English said: “Its been a very long journey with barely any sleep. We’ve moved across the desert in three old army trucks but we are very lucky to get out and very grateful to those that helped us.
“We are tired and desperately need a shower but we have our dog with us and we hope our truck with all our possessions is going to follow us soon.”
Reports from Timbuktu said al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) and local hardline clerics of the Ansar al-Dine movement had imposed strick Islamic law on the town. The black flag of al-Qaeda was flying on the turrets of its ancient mosques and women had been ordered to wear burkas outdoors.
“My friends say they have been ordered to stop smoking and the women have been told to cover up,” Mrs English said. “I don’t think we’ll be going back anytime soon.”
Good for them for finally getting out. And for taking their dog.
Last week:
The Tuareg force planted its flag in the ancient city, a day after it took control of the garrison town of Gao, which hosts the largest military base in Mali’s north. The Azawad National Liberation Movement (MNLA) has capitalised on the lack of national authority after a coup last month when Mali army officers ousted the president, Amadou Toure.
...
On Friday, the rebels took Kidal, the regional capital. If Timbuktu falls, they rebels will control most of Mali’s Sahara desert region.They have vowed to rule the area with Islamists in opposition to the junta in Bamako, the national capital. The city of Timbuktu, famous for its mud-walled mosques, is more than 1,000 years old and was the main trading centre for Tuareg nomads bringing salt from the desert, and selling ivory and slaves. Once a centre of learning, the town, with 50,000 people, has become synonymous with mythical places, with a third of Britons even unaware that it is a real place, according to a recent survey.
So there are at least 3 or 4 different groups fighting in Mali. Typical African muddle. Expect Al Q to come out on top. With the loss of Mali, nearly all of northern Africa is in the hands of islamists, from the borders of Nigeria to the Gaza Strip. Caliphate anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

Your Daily Islamic Stoopid
In the mooselimb world, wives and children are chattel, not much different than livestock. The women can’t do as they please, go out in public alone, yadda yadda, you know the drill, jizzlam sux.
“Obama killed bin Laden”. Yeah right, he did it by not getting in the way and being kept out of the loop, and only begin dragged in off the golf course at the last second, while somebody else faced the danger and did the wet work. We’ve all seen that war room picture; he didn’t get any briefing notes or even a seat at the Big Folks table. “Squat here sir”. Click. But whatever. Our “ally” Pakistan, claimed no knowledge that OBL was living in their country for years, though they were very quick to hand over our busted stealth helicopter to the ChiComs, and were very quick to arrest anyone who may have spilled the OBL beans and charge them with treason. Such an ally. Now they’ve done it again ...
A Pakistani court has sentenced three of Usama bin Laden’s widows and two of his older daughters to 45 days in prison for illegal entry and staying in Pakistan. Each of bin Laden’s relatives also received a $110 fine. They were sentenced at a hearing in the Islamabad safe house where the family members are currently staying.
Mohammed Amir Khalil, a lawyer for the family, says Monday’s verdict gives his clients credit for time served, and that he does not plan on appealing the decision.
Khalil said the family members were formally arrested on March 3, so they will serve another two weeks in prison and then will be deported with their children. He did not say where they would be deported.
Islamabad was outraged by the U.S. raid that killed bin Laden because it was not told about it beforehand. Pakistani officials have said they had no idea the Al Qaeda chief was in Abbottabad, something many in Washington found hard to believe because his compound was located close to Pakistan’s equivalent of West Point.
...
Bin Laden lived in five safe houses over the course of nine years while on the run in Pakistan and fathered four children—two of them born in government hospitals, according to al-Sada’s interrogation report
Looks to me like the guy who does the Pakistani certificates of live birth used to work in Honolulu. Obviously he never reads his own work, like the box where it says “fill in father’s name”. I wonder if those 4 kids qualify as natural born citizens of Pakistan?

Far Out: Fascists Are Far Right
Speaking once again about co-opted memes, how did fascism come to be identified with the far right? Only in Europe, where Extreme Socialism is “normal”, could this definition fit. And to American eyes, there are about 12 atoms difference between communists, socialists, national socialists, and fascists. They’re all ultra-leftist outlooks, differing only in the uniforms and mustaches.
And why are groups of traditionalists, who don’t want to see their own cultures eradicated, who don’t like the violence and intolerance that Sharia brings with it, people who stand up and speak out, who will not submit ... why are they the extremists here? Sounds to me like they’re perfectly normal. Anyway, a right big mess today in Denmark. I say, thank God some folks in Eurabia are finally pushing back. Too bad they’re currently outnumbered 100 to 1.
Clashes broke out Saturday as far-right groups from across Europe gathered in Denmark for a rally they said was meant to make their governments act against the threat of Islamic extremism. Violence flared in the port city of Aarhus as a small group of far-left protesters broke off from a march staged to counter the right-wing rally, said Georg Husted, a spokesman for Aarhus police. Protesters carrying masks pulled up paving stones and started throwing them and other missiles, he said.
One police officer suffered minor head injuries after he was struck by a bottle, Husted said, but no civilians were hurt or damage caused to buildings.
Police arrested 25 people following the violence, said Husted, most of them from extreme left-wing groups. Between 200 and 300 people attended the far-right rally, according to police estimates, while about 5,000 people gathered for the anti-fascist demonstration.
The far-right rally brought together protesters from the Danish Defense League, as well as smaller groups from Scandinavian countries, Germany, Poland, Eastern Europe and the United Kingdom. Those attending want to send a “clear message to the leaders of Europe,” according to the English Defence League (EDL), one of the organizers of the far-right event.
“Our governments and our media behave as if Islamic extremism exists only in the head of a few extremists, and claim that it is unfair to make the connection between Islam and extremism,” an online EDL statement said. “This is ridiculous, just as it is ridiculous to claim that anyone who criticizes Islam must be an extremist in their own right. We believe in fair criticism of Islam and in the defence of our cultures, our nations, and the rights and freedoms that they have long protected.”
Um, no, not so fast there bucko.
More than 80 people were arrested Saturday as protesters hurling rocks and bottles tried to interrupt an anti-Islamic demonstration by far-right groups from across northern Europe, Danish police said.
There were numerous brief scuffles throughout the day as police tried to separate some 2,500 counter-demonstrators from a few hundred people attending the anti-Islamic rally in Aarhus, Denmark’s second-largest city.
...
The defense leagues and other counter-jihadist groups that have sprung up in Europe in recent years distance themselves from neo-Nazis and say they don’t accept racism or anti-Semitism. Opponents say they are just a new manifestation of xenophobia in Europe, targeting Muslims instead of Jews.
The defense leagues and other counter-jihadist groups that have sprung up in Europe in recent years distance themselves from neo-Nazis and say they don’t accept racism or anti-Semitism. Opponents say they are just a new manifestation of xenophobia in Europe, targeting Muslims instead of Jews.
Anders Behring Breivik, the Norwegian gunman who confessed to slaughtering 77 people last July, cited the English Defense League and other counter-jihadist groups in the anti-Muslim manifesto he released before the killing spree. Those groups have condemned his actions and dismissed him as a lunatic.
Ok, let’s let the nutcakes have their say now ...
Mari Linolkken traveled from Norway to join the counter-demonstration in Aarhus, 200 kilometers (125 miles) northwest of Copenhagen, saying she felt compelled to stand up against the far-right movement after what her own country had gone through with Breivik’s attacks.
“The English Defense League, Danish Defense League, the Stop Islamization of Europe — we have experienced what their ideology means in practice,” she said.
Really? How so Mari? Breivik was not a member of these groups. And in practice Breivik - a crazy person, m’kay - targeted the lefist elite and their children. He didn’t go on a muslim hunt, as much as he may have despised them. So what’s the connection in your head, so strong that you’d ride a train for hours to another country to take part in a counter protest?
A long-planned gathering of far right-wing movements from across Europe met in Denmark on Saturday to try to form a pan-European anti-Islamist alliance, a project that will test the cohesion of a fringe trying to build support built on fears about immigration and militant Islamists.
Members of European far-right groups, including the English Defense League (EDL) and the German Defense League, arrived in the Danish city of Aaruhus for the rally, which was expected to draw and anti-Islamic crowd from Russia, Finland, France, Germany, Norway, Poland, Romania and Sweden, according to the Guardian.
Look! Crazy anti-semitic extremist fascist anti-islamic protester nut cases!!!!!!11!!
Danish ones too!!! The Danish Defense League took part
And the English!! The English Defense League took part
Did you notice the one thing all these protesters seem to have in common? That one symbol of evil that binds them together, like Sauron’s Ring? Yeah, I’m sure you saw it. In bright red, the color of blood. Or in black, the color of evil, right on their country’s flags!!!
Even the Germans!! The German Defense League took part
OMG. OMFG. HJJCOAPS ... they’re all Christians!!! Get out the fire hoses, let lose the attack dogs! Stop them now!!!
BBC World Affairs correspondent Richard Galpin said it was not clear if the EDL would succeed with the aims of the rally.
But anti-racism campaigners already fear the hardline anti-Islamic rhetoric being used will increase tensions in European cities and encourage extremists on both sides.
Nottingham University’s Matthew Goodwin, an expert on far-right groups in Britain, said the meeting would be strategically significant even if the numbers were not.
“What we are seeing here for the first time in British political history is an anti-Muslim far-right organisation taking the lead in trying to mobilise pan-European opposition to Islam,” he said.
Yes. Yes, I can see that. But I don’t think it’s the first time in history. It’s just the first time in about 800 years or so. But don’t nobody dare to say the ”C word”. Not that one either silly, but I meant the other C-word. But I can also see weasel wiener Galpins’ view, and in his words I see him eagerly paying the jizya: pushing back against the green horde will raise tensions, and like breathing, saying no, or looking cross-eyed at the wrong time, it will encourage more muslim extremism and enrage the Arab Street. Much better to just lie down and take it, like the spineless dog you are.
I’m sure Atlas Shrugs will have some seriously large coverage on this, if not now, then soon. Oh hella yeah. With extra gravy and side dishes. Video and quotes from a participant that says the number of antislamic protesters was double what the media is reporting. No kidding, how many times have we seen that trick? She even has Anders Gravers full speech, word for word, that ends with:
The media and politicians call us far right and hate groups. However, it is not SIOE and the Defence Leagues who took our countries to war in Iraq and Afghanistan. It is not we who stone women to death or bomb trains.
We have always done things according to the law. This has not stopped politicians and media accusing us of murders and other violence we did not commit.
We are only using our democratic rights to peaceful protest. And we will win.
We have to step up the action. We have to make our protests stronger. We have to make our language stronger.
But we have to stay within the law. And we will stay within the law.
Every mosque being built must be protested against. Not only must protests be held outside mosques, but also the building companies making the mosques. Also the councils allowing mosques to be built.
Whenever a woman, or even worse, a child is raped, we must protest outside the mosque closest to where it happened. Even if it is only four or five people.
The media must be challenged to report our protests or we will accuse them of supporting the violence of the world’s biggest hate group. Islam.
All anti-Islam groups must work together to defeat our enemy and to win this war.
Victory is ours. NO SURRENDER.
Read his whole speech out loud and see if you take issue with one single word. Far right extremists, indeed.
Lan astaslem! Lan astaslem! Lan astaslem!

Le French Take Le Action
PARIS – President Nicolas Sarkozy says police in cities around France have detained 19 people in a crackdown on suspected Islamist extremists.
Sarkozy said on Europe-1 radio Friday that weapons were seized in some of the raids, including AK-47 assault rifles.
He said more such operations are planned. The raids come after a spate of killings in southern France.
A Frenchman who espoused radical Islamist views and said he had links to al Qaida claimed responsibility for the killings. He was killed in a gunfight with police last week.
The raids were carried out by the domestic intelligence agency, the DCRI, with the help of the elite Raid police commando group, Agence France-Presse news agency reports.
Several of the raids were in Toulouse, particularly the Mirail quarter, sources told AFP. But there were also raids in Nantes, which is believed to be a centre for the Forsane Alizza (Knights of Pride) group, to which Merah had been linked by some French media.
It is a Salafist group that was dissolved by the interior ministry in an earlier investigation. One of those arrested was the group’s suspected leader, Mohammed Achamlane.
Police sources told AFP that three Kalashnikovs, a Glock pistol and a grenade were seized at his home.
Sounds like they’re rounding up the right people. Very very few normal people keep grenades around the house.

But, but the koran says its OK
Brutha X and Sista X, I got your Nation of Islam, right here.
It’s an Islamic nation, ruled by a combination of Sharia Law and an “elected” military dictatorship. Everyone speaks Arabic, and the level of poverty is beyond grinding. Illiteracy is rampant and life expectancy is one of the lowest in the world. Nearly half the population gets by on less than $2 a day; the average annual per capita income is only $6. A barren hell on earth, where even the wandering nomads are few and far between.
Yet twenty percent of the population lives in slavery. Generational slavery.
Forced by international pressure, Mauritania didn’t get around to abolishing slavery until 1981. Not 1335. Not 1772. Not 1865. Not 1889. (Finland, England, USA, Brazil) 1981. Just 31 years ago. And that abolition was only lip service; slave owning in Mauritania didn’t even become a crime until 2007, just 5 years ago. And it’s still just lip service, as what passes for a judicial system has only made one prosecution. Somewhere around three quarters of a million people live there in bondage, today.
Lighter skinned Arabs, so called “White Moors” are the owner caste, and darker skinned Africans are the slaves. It’s been that way since forever, and the slaves are often treated with the kind of callous disregard and cruelty that only the Arabs can come up with. Perhaps the greater sin is that the slaves don’t know any better, and consider themselves sub-human.
CNN posts another couple of articles in their continuing series on modern slavery.
It’s a maddening, complicated place — one made all the more difficult for outsiders to understand because no one is allowed to talk about slavery. When we confronted the country’s minister of rural development about slavery’s existence, Brahim Ould M’Bareck Ould Med El Moctar told us his country is among the freest in the world. “All people are free in Mauritania and this phenomenon (of slavery) no longer exists,” he said.
The issue is so sensitive here that we had to conduct most of our interviews in secret, often in the middle of the night and in covert locations. The only other option was to do them in the presence of a government minder, who was assigned to our group by the Ministry of Communications to ensure we didn’t mention the topic. Our official reason for entering the country was to report on the science of locust swarms; our contacts for that story were unaware of our plan to research slavery.
If we were caught talking with an escaped slave like Moulkheir, we could have been arrested or thrown out of the country without our notebooks and footage. That point was made clear to us in a meeting with the national director of audiovisual communications, Mohamed Yahya Ould Haye, who told us journalists who attempted to report on such topics were jailed or ejected from the country.
More important, getting caught talking about slavery could have put our sources at risk. Anti-slavery activists say they have been arrested and tortured for their work.
Abdel, like the rest of his light-skinned family, lived in a large camel-skin tent. Yebawa and other slaves lived in tattered tents of cloth on the periphery of their nomadic camp, which shifted locations to follow the few plants able to grow in the Sahara.
Noble families keep slaves both as servants and status symbols. Abdel’s family had hundreds of slaves, he said, and their labor was divided among aunts, uncles, cousins and other relatives.
“When you divvy up slaves, either you send a slave to go serve a certain branch of the family or if you have just one slave, you divide him up in chunks of time: three months here, four or five there,” he said. “That’s how you share a human being.”
Slaves in Mauritania typically are attached to one family from the time they are born. They can be given away as gifts for special occasions, but usually aren’t bought and sold.
...
Abdel’s family never beat its slaves, he said, but did regard them as subhuman. When it rained on the Tagant plateau, in central Mauritania, slaves like Yebawa picked up the edges of the tent and held them in the air all night long to prevent their masters from getting wet. Abdel recalls hearing the slaves’ teeth chattering all through the cold desert nights—and mocking this “teeth music” with his slave-owning friends.

Dancing around the real truth
The case of a 16-year-old girl who killed herself after she was forced to marry her rapist has spurred outrage among Morocco’s internet activists and calls for changes to the country’s laws.
An online petition, a Facebook page and countless tweets expressed horror over the suicide of Amina Filali, who swallowed rat poison on Saturday to protest her marriage to the man who raped her a year earlier.
Article 475 of the Moroccan penal code allows for the “kidnapper” of a minor to marry his victim to escape prosecution, and it has been used to justify a traditional practice of making a rapist marry his victim to preserve the honor of the woman’s family.
The victim’s father said in an interview with an online Moroccan newspaper that it was the court officials who suggested from the beginning the marriage option when they reported the rape.
“The prosecutor advised my daughter to marry, he said ‘go and make the marriage contract,’” said Lahcen Filali in an interview that appeared on goud.ma Tuesday night.
...
“It is not something that happens a great deal — it is very rare,” he said, but admitted that the family of the victim sometimes agrees out of fear that she won’t be able to find a husband if it is known she was raped.
The marriage is then pushed on the victim by the families to avoid scandal, said Fouzia Assouli, president of Democratic League for Women’s Rights.
“It is unfortunately a recurring phenomenon,” she said."We have been asking for years for the cancellation of Article 475 of the penal code which allows the rapist to escape justice.”
In many parts of the Middle East, there is a tradition whereby a rapist can escape prosecution if he marries his victim, thereby restoring her honor. There is a similar injunction in the Old Testament’s Book of Deuteronomy.
Morocco updated its family code in 2004 in a landmark improvement of the situation of women, but activists say there’s still room for improvement.
In cases of rape, the burden of proof is often on the victim and if she can’t prove she was attacked, a woman risks being prosecuted for debauchery.
“In Morocco, the law protects public morality but not the individual,” said Assouli, adding that legislation outlawing all forms of violence against women, including rape within marriage, has been stuck in the government since 2006.
According to the father’s interview, the girl was accosted on the street and raped when she was 15, but it was two months before she told her parents.
He said the court pushed the marriage, even though the perpetrator initially refused. He only consented when faced with prosecution. The penalty for rape is between five and 10 years in prison, but rises to 10 to 20 in the case of a minor.
Filali said Amina complained to her mother that her husband was beating her repeatedly during the five months of marriage but that her mother counseled patience.
The “S word” is not ever mentioned in this article, nor even referred to obliquely. At least one islamopologist site, based in Chicago, confusingly says that this “marry him” judgment is in line with Sharia law, and also against it ...
This outrage against the horrific and outrageous law that allows the rapist to marry his victim in order to avoid prosecution is following Sharia. Rape is a horrific crime that I would not wish upon my worst enemy. This inhuman law in Morocco has no basis in Islam or the Qur’an. And to shield the criminal by marrying his victim is even more inhuman: the Sharia is against it.
But we know better. We won’t accept the spoonfed meme. And we know that Political Correctness is one gigantic lie after another. NRO’s Andrew McCarthy points out the truth you’re not supposed to be aware of:
Morocco is not just a “Muslim country” in the cultural sense. It is a country proudly adherent to sharia law. Since 1969, Morocco has been a member of the Organization of the Islamic Conference, whose Islamic member states proclaimed, in 1990, the “Declaration of Human Rights in Islam.” The rationale for this proclamation — which is also known as the “Cairo Declaration” — is that the signatory nations do not accept the concept of “human rights” as it is understood in the West and outlined in such instruments as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, to which the Cairo Declaration is a rebuttal.
...
“Human rights” are the rights that humans have under sharia law — and no others. “Equality for women” consists of the rights women are granted by sharia, which we in the West see (quite rightly, I think) as being grossly subordinate to the rights of men (in particular, Muslim men). In stark contrast, Islam considers them merely different from the rights of men — more suitable, sharia scholars will tell you, to life as Allah intended women to live it, in light of the comparative strengths and weaknesses of their natural condition.
But you sure won’t find the media even questioning the depravities of jizzlamic jurisprudence. Not even here in the USA ISA.
Red Ken would be proud.

Not exactly military issue, which is a shame ...

Coping with Sharia law got you down? The old kaffir feeling a bit too dhimmi today? Feel like celebrating your haram status as one of the unclean? Tired of your President bowing and scraping and apologizing to our enemies who have declared continuous holy war on us for more than 1400 years now?
Or would you just like to show the world that you’re part of the global Other White Meat effort?

What Our Blood And Treasure Bought
At least 90 Iraqi teenagers with “emo” appearances have been stoned to death by religious extremists in Baghdad in the past month after an inflammatory interior ministry statement dubbed it “devil worshiping”, activists said.
Iraq’s Moral Police released a chilling statement on the interior ministry’s website condemning the “emo phenomenon” among Iraqi youth, disturbingly declaring its intent to “eliminate” the trend.
“The ‘Emo phenomenon’ or devil worshiping is being followed by the Moral Police who have the approval to eliminate [the phenomenon] as soon as possible since it’s detrimentally affecting the society and becoming a danger,” the statement read.
“They wear strange, tight clothes that have pictures on them such as skulls and use stationary that are shaped as skulls. They also wear rings on their noses and tongues, and do other strange activities,” it continued.
Religious extremists caught onto the interior ministry statement, and have been harassing and killing teenagers with “strange” or “emo” appearances.
A group of armed men dressed in civilian clothing led dozens of teenagers to secluded areas a few days ago, stoned them to death, and then disposed their bodies in garbage dumpsters across the capital, according to activists.
Al-Bayaty said the killings appear to have been carried out by extremist Shia militias in mostly poor Shia neighborhoods and said she suspected “there’s complicity of the Ministry of Interior in the killings.”
Photos of the victims were released on Facebook, causing panic and fear among Iraqi students.
...
The interior ministry has not disclosed the number of teenage victims, but released a follow-up statement on Thursday warning extremists “not to step on public freedom of Iraqis.”
...
The Director of the Moral Police of the Interior Ministry released a statement, saying “The ‘Emo phenomenon’ or devil worshiping is being followed by the Moral Police who have the approval to eliminate [the phenomenon] as soon as possible since it’s detrimentally affecting the society and becoming a danger.”
...
“They wear strange, tight clothes that have pictures on them such as skulls and use stationary that are shaped as skulls. They also wear rings on their noses and tongues, and do other strange activities.”
Yes, I think that kind of strange dress and behavior is called being a teenager.
Can someone please tell me what the heck kind of “freedom” or “democracy” we set up over there that has a MORAL POLICE to even begin with? Freedom Rule #1: Get your damn nose out of my life; what I do, what I think, how I look, how I act, how I feel, what I believe in is NONE OF YOUR DAMNED BUSINESS.

Pirates Of The Nile
Looks like “the shores of Tripoli” have moved a bit to the east? The Barbary Pirates were acting as agents of their de-facto government too ya know.
CAIRO – Seven American rights workers are on a plane out of Egypt after the U.S. paid nearly $5 million in bail costs to secure their freedom.
Egyptian officials said the U.S. paid $300,000 each for 16 Americans, nine of whom were already out of the country.
The State Department said the money was paid by the nongovernmental organizations where the democracy and rights workers work. However, the NGOs receive U.S. funding for their operations.
State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said workers from other international organizations were also on the plane. They were Norwegian, Serbian, Palestinian and German.
“Bail costs”. Right. Sure. As if they’re going back for their “trial” on those trumped up utterly bogus “charges”.
Call it a bribe, call it a payoff, call it a ransom. It’s all the same from this side of the pond; we don’t split hairs over such crap. They were held for ransom by a foreign government that we consider to be an ally, after we helped that government come to power in the media jizz-fest they call the “Arab Spring”.
Call home the diplomats, call home the tourists. Not a dollar in aid for Egypt, nor a bowl of rice. Not one ship gets in to the Nile Delta, not one Egyptian soldier comes near the Suez Canal. Not one truck crosses North out of Ethiopia or East in from Libya. Our Idiot In Chief tried to let them obtain freedom, but they never had any intention of that. Instead, he’s let them show us their real face, that they are yet another enemy in dirty sandals. So treat them that way. Blockade and embargo, and let them rot. Declare them a terrorist enabling nation and lock down their foreign bank accounts. Let them eat sand. No real need to defoliate their crops or poison the Nile north of Aswan. No need at all. Yet. But plan another damn-busters air mission, just in case. Hey, we’d be doing it for Gaia’s sake, returning the Nile to it’s natural state. Not our fault it would flood the whole place 50 feet deep in mud.

B-52 Tantrum Time
Yesterday it was “Two US officers killed deep inside secure compound by turncoat insiders”.
We’ve seen for years that even the rumor of a koran being mistreated is enough to set off murderous rage across the world, and yet we still cotton to it. Fuck that. Time to bring the hammer down.
Demonstrators protesting against the burnings of Korans at a U.S. base in Afghanistan tossed grenades at an American base Sunday in a sixth consecutive day of violence that left seven US troops wounded and two Afghans dead.
Afghan authorities also identified and launched a manhunt for a suspect in the killing of two U.S military advisers—a lieutenant colonel and a major— inside an Afghan ministry on Saturday.
The attacks were the latest in six days of violence across the country by Afghans furious at the way some Korans at an American base outside of Kabul were disposed of in a burn pit.
The Koran burning incident has swiftly spiraled out of control leaving dozens of people dead, including four U.S. troops killed by their Afghan counterparts, in a sign of the tenuous nature of the relationship between Afghanistan and the U.S.
Fuck Afghanistan, Fuck Pakistan, Fuck Syria, Fuck them all. Indiscriminately carpet bomb the whole damn place until there aren’t two mud bricks left stuck together, then release the poison gas and the napalm. Bring our troops home and just say to hell with all of it.
I hate to say it, but Ron Paul’s idea of foreign policy is looking better every day. Isolationist. But mixed with unhinged levels of Draconian vengeance first. We can’t make these animals behave by bringing the carrot, so bring the stick. A big, big stick. And use it. Severely.
The part of this latest koran bullshit that is getting no press, and is drawing no local ire whatsoever, is that captured terrorists were writing in the books to pass secret messages to each other. They were desecrating the holy koran!!!!!11111!!! And that’s just peachy. But our efforts to cleanse such desecration draw a thousand times worse a reaction. So let’s give it back, ten thousand times worse. Let’s do to Afghanistan what we should have done to Fallujah under Bush, what we should have done to Mogadishu under Clinton. Blast it to splinters, then burn it down, salt the ground, and leave.
And the next time some BS outrage goes off over some dumbshit book being burned, or flushed, or even touched by evil infidels like us, we pick a major islamic city at random, and bomb it to rubble. 15 or 20 cities later, perhaps they’ll get the message. If not, well, we have plenty of bombs.
Unhinged reprisal reactions are just fine for our enemies to do, anywhere in the world, to the best of their abilities. Therefore it’s fine for us to react the same way, and the best of our abilities eclipses shit that they can’t even dream of in their worst nightmares. Gee, too fucking bad.
Bring it on. The way to win the war on terrorism is to execute acts of terror back at such levels that our enemies are too afraid to act the next time. That’s how you win their war: their way.

Sharia In PA
Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
- Dylan Thomas, Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night
A CALL TO ACTION
Peiper’s post yesterday about the judge in Pennsylvania who threw out an assault charge against a muslim because, as a mulsim himself, he apparently feels that mocking MoHamHead is a crime, isn’t drawing the kind of response I thought it would. Maybe Peiper writes too gently. Maybe he didn’t use quite the right quotations. I don’t know. Maybe it’s just too hard to leave a comment on this blog; I’ll try again to see what I can do about that.
My point is it that this is the most outrageous thing that has come down from a judge’s bench in quite a while, and you ought to be LIVID. What we had here was a simple case of assault, complete with a confession. Open. Shut. What we got was Sharia Law, one muzzie covering for another, denying that a crime even occurred, and a castigation of the complainant. This is no different than throwing out a rape case and reviling the woman because the way she dressed “was asking for it”. Do not stand for it. Not for a second.
What we have here is a judge who broke the rules:
- He is denying the priority of the 1st Amendment while paying scant lip service to it, and is setting boundaries on it that do not exist. We have Piss Christ as art, but Zombie Mohammed is an outrage and a crime? No way.
- He denied video tape evidence of the assault
- He denied testimony of the police officer involved
- He ignored the un-coerced confessional testimony of the assailant who freely admitted attacking the parade participant Mr. Perce (no relation to me, different spelling too)
- He ruthlessly castigated the aggrieved party in court, calling him a “dufus”
- He repeatedly refers to the act of physically satirizing the prophet as a crime, which in other lands is punishable by death.
- Foreign law has no business in an American court
- Such a satire is in no way shape or form a crime in the USA
A judge’s first duty is to the Constitution. Even if he’s just a little judge, a low level magistrate like this guy, Mark Martin, is, a man without a law degree.
Furthermore, now Mr. Perce is being threatened with a contempt of court charge by this same judge, for releasing an audio transcript of the trial, even though he said he had permission from the court to do so, and such a tape would be in the public domain anyway, because trial transcripts of any form are a matter of public record. WE DO NOT HAVE SECRET TRIALS IN THIS NATION.
People, it’s torches and pitchforks time. Judge Martin has to go. He has to be fired, de-benched, un-robed, and de-gaveled. I don’t care that the guy is a Repulican or if he’s a Marine veteran. The guy has no business being a judge. It isn’t even that he himself is a muslim. But at the very least, if his views on his religion are that skewed and that intense, then he ought to have recused himself. This is a gross and blatant miscarriage of justice; Strike One - you’re out!
There is no appeal for Mr. Perce, because that’s not how our judicial system works. The plaintiff doesn’t get a second shot, even when there is blatant impropriety. It’s only the accused who can appeal. But public outcry can demand an investigation, and a blackrobe who is in fact a greenrobe can get disrobed.
“That a Muslim immigrant can assault a United States citizen in defense of his religious beliefs and walk away a free man, while the victim is chastised and insulted by a Muslim judge who then blamed the victim for the crime committed against him is a horrible abrogation,” the posting reads. “ … I can promise you this, you have not heard the last of this issue. Not by a long shot.”

It is time to draw a line in the sand. It is time to push back. Fight the cultural terrorism at all levels. Do not go gentle into that not so Good Night.
And the left and their MSM running dogs mock the red states who push for anti-Sharia laws. Eff that.

muslim judge in USA upholds sharia …
H/T Doc Jeff and thanks for the heads up to the Gates of Vienna link.
Doc sent along a few items and it is timely indeed, since I also received the latest Pat Condell video on islam as cultural terrorism.
There is not a thing for me to add to Condell. He’s always right on this subject.
The link Doc Jeff sent is quite interesting. Seems a judge with a very American name who is muslim, has given the nod of approval to sharia law not so much in words as in actual deed. There is a video at the Gates ov Vienna.
Take a look at this. A good look.
If you do, you’ll find out that laws against assault no longer apply to any offended Muslim who might physically attack you.
There’s a word for this, and I think we all know it: Sharia.
Muslim Admits to Attacking Atheist; Muslim Judge Dismisses Case
By Al Stefanelli
The Pennsylvania State Director of American Atheists, Inc., Mr. Ernest Perce V., was assaulted by a Muslim while participating in a Halloween parade. Along with a Zombie Pope, Ernest was costumed as Zombie Muhammad. The assault was caught on video, the Muslim man admitted to his crime and charges were filed in what should have been an open-and-shut case. That’s not what happened, though.
The defendant is an immigrant and claims he did not know his actions were illegal, or that it was legal in this country to represent Muhammad in any form. To add insult to injury, he also testified that his 9 year old son was present, and the man said he felt he needed to show his young son that he was willing to fight for his Prophet.
The case went to trial, and as circumstances would dictate, Judge Mark Martin is also a Muslim. What transpired next was surreal. The Judge not only ruled in favor of the defendant, but called Mr. Perce a name and told him that if he were in a Muslim country, he’d be put to death. Judge Martin’s comments included,
“Having had the benefit of having spent over 2 and a half years in predominantly Muslim countries I think I know a little bit about the faith of Islam. In fact I have a copy of the Koran here and I challenge you sir to show me where it says in the Koran that Mohammad arose and walked among the dead. I think you misinterpreted things. Before you start mocking someone else’s religion you may want to find out a little bit more about it makes you look like a dufus and Mr. (Defendant) is correct. In many Arabic speaking countries something like this is definitely against the law there. In their society in fact it can be punishable by death and it frequently is in their society.
Judge Martin then offered a lesson in Islam, stating,
“Islam is not just a religion, it’s their culture, their culture. It’s their very essence their very being. They pray five times a day towards Mecca to be a good Muslim, before you die you have to make a pilgrimage to Mecca unless you are otherwise told you can not because you are too ill too elderly, whatever but you must make the attempt. Their greetings wa-laikum as-Salâm (is answered by voice) may god be with you. Whenever, it’s very common when speaking to each other it’s very common for them to say uh this will happen it’s it they are so immersed in it.
Judge Martin further complicates the issue by not only abrogating the First Amendment, but completely misunderstanding it when he said,
“Then what you have done is you have completely trashed their essence, their being. They find it very very very offensive. I’m a Muslim, I find it offensive. But you have that right, but you’re way outside your boundaries or first amendment rights. This is what, and I said I spent about 7 and a half years living in other countries. when we go to other countries it’s not uncommon for people to refer to us as ugly Americans this is why we are referred to as ugly Americans, because we are so concerned about our own rights we don’t care about other people’s rights as long as we get our say but we don’t care about the other people’s say”

One In A Billion
Remember that “moderate muslim” we’ve all been waiting to hear from? He may have shown up at last.
I do not believe that cartoons, books, or movies can defame any religion or affect the faith of its adherents and true believers.
Those who defame the Prophet are they who slaughter and bomb innocent people all over the world—in New York, Madrid, London, Bali, Riyadh, Cairo, Kabul and Baghdad—while citing the name of Allah and his Prophet and under the banner of Islamic jihad. Ongoing demonstrations follow in support of their acts, while Internet sites sing praises of the “knight” Osama bin Laden, the “hero of the two raids on New York and Washington [i.e., the strikes of 9/11].”
...
Those who defame the Prophet are they who deem women defective, equating them with dogs and donkeys in that they invalidate prayer, as per the famous Sahih Muslim hadith. They believe that women are brainless and impious—forgetting that women are mothers, sisters, sweethearts, daughters, and wives, and are on an equal par with men. What is even sadder is that the majority of Muslim women believe in the authenticity of such hadiths that disparage them.
Go. Read. Think. Comment.
Personally, if he’s actually real, I’m amazed this guy is still alive.
More at The Blaze -
from there, about the author -
“It states that he is a secularist who sees the ‘religious movement,’ i.e., Islamist movement, as the source of the world’s woes, and calling it the ‘new Nazi’ movement, which poses a great threat to the entire world.
The dearth of information concerning him is of course not surprising: considering the sort of articles he writes and his stated position, he likely does not want to reveal his identity.”
