On-the-job dhimmi training.... Neighbourhood Policing Team officers in Kirklees are to undertake an Islam Awareness Programme believed to be the first of its kind in the UK. Front-line officers are beginning a series of six sessions at five mosques across the district to increase their understanding of the Islamic faith and forge local contacts. The first session is at the Jamia Mosque in Heckmondwike tomorrow when the Batley and Birstall, Spen Valley and Huddersfield South Neighbourhood Policing Teams will undertake their training. Kirklees Police Diversity Manager Steve Bedford said: “The day is an informal introduction to some local mosques and...

As Israel continues to do what is necessary to protect their country, Muslims across the world are taking upon themselves to start their own litte religious wars across the world. As Jews in Denmark, the UK, France, and the USA have been attacked.

Danish school administrators are refusing to allow Jews to enroll out of fear of violence... Not from the Jewish children, but from the Muslim immigrant children that attend the schools. The Copenhagen Post reported, via Infidel Bloggers Alliance: A number of school administrators have come forth in recent days to confirm that they recommend Jewish children should not enrol at their schools. According to school administrators, law enforcement officials and social workers, the on-going conflict in Gaza has led to heightened tensions between Jews and Arabs - particularly Palestinians - here in Denmark.

Attackers rammed a burning car into a synagogue in the southern French city of Toulouse, officials have said. The car, packed with a petrol bomb, was set alight and then pushed into the synagogue door by a second car. The building caught fire but a local rabbi and about 12 people caught inside escaped unharmed after Monday's attack. It came as the French defence minister met Jewish and Muslim community leaders to stress the Middle East conflict should not lead to violence in France. Police said they were investigating the attack and had not made any arrests. Molotov cocktails Damage...

PARIS – Government officials and Jewish leaders are concerned the conflict in Gaza may spill over into violence in Europe, with attacks reported against Jews and synagogues in France, Sweden and Britain. Assailants rammed a burning car into the gates of a synagogue in Toulouse, in southwest France, Monday night. A Jewish congregation in Helsingborg, in southern Sweden, was attacked Monday night by someone who "broke a window and threw in something that was burning," said police spokesman Leif Nilsson. And on Sunday slogans, including "murderers ... You broke the cease-fire," were daubed on Israel's Embassy in Stockholm.

PARIS (AP) - Signs are mounting that the conflict in Gaza is starting to spill over into violence in Europe's towns and cities, with assaults against Jews and arson attacks on Jewish congregations in France, Sweden and Britain. Assailants rammed a burning car into the gates of a synagogue in Toulouse, in southwest France, on Monday night. A Jewish congregation in Helsingborg, in southern Sweden, also was attacked Monday night by someone who "broke a window and threw in something that was burning," said police spokesman Leif Nilsson. Neighbors alerted rescue services before the fire took hold. Someone also started...

Netherlands' first Moroccan mayor inaugurated Ahmed Aboutaleb, who has dual Dutch-Moroccan citizenship, has been inaugurated as mayor of Rotterdam on Monday. The former Labour deputy minister for social affairs is the Netherlands' first mayor with Moroccan roots. The inauguration is attracting a great deal of international media attention, with journalists from countries ranging from Morocco and Turkey to France and Germany in Rotterdam for the ceremony. Aboutaleb (47) does not face an easy task in his new position. Integration and crime are major political issues in Rotterdam. The city of 585,000 has the largest proportion of immigrants of any major...

Back in March of 2008 it was reported that the Dubai-based Almulla Hospitality Group was planning to open up to 90 sharia complaint hotels around the world that will not serve alcohol and will only serve halal meals. Now the company is taking the next step of positioning the hotels within Europe.

This video (thanks to M.B.) depicts Dutch parliamentarian Harry van Bommel of the Socialist Party and other Leftist useful idiots calling for intifada against Israel during a Jew-hate, pro-jihad terror rally in Amsterdam yesterday -- while the crowd behind them (at 1:05) chants "Hamas, Hamas, Jews to the gas."

A jihadi throws a shoe near the Downing Street residence of Britain's Prime Minister Gordon Brown today at a huge protest against the Jews It is hard to believe that while Shoah victims and holocaust survivors still walk among us, that we would witness an evil so severe and grotesque that it would make the rhetoric of third Reich look mild. Yes, the Nazis killed millions -- that was the obvious monstrous result of their campaign. We have not yet witnessed the "final solution" of Islamic jihad - but there are incontrovertible facts that are blinding. The Nazis hid their...

It’s a safe bet that Geert Wilders won’t be Time magazine’s Man of the Year any time soon. If anything, the unusually coiffed Dutch MP is a favorite hate figure of the Western media, which has spent years vilifying him as a “reactionary,” a “particularly dangerous type of demagogue,” a “racist” and an “Islamophobe.” Wilders would almost certainly plead guilty to the last charge, and with ample reason. His tireless campaign to sound the alarm about the growing threat of Islamic radicalism in the West has turned him into a target of Islamic jihadists and the object of untold assassination...

Update: The French press reported that the Interior Ministry released a final "verified" count of 1,147 vehicles burned in France over New Year's Eve. The number is up 30.64% from last year's total, 878. REUTERS - At least 445 cars were torched over the night of New Year's Eve in France, a 20 percent rise on last year, but there were relatively few clashes with police, the Interior Ministry and police said on Thursday. Car burnings are regular occurrences in France but the registering the New Year's Eve total has become something of a tradition since they achieved symbolic status...

India protests submarine sale to Pak 12/29/2008 10:01:16 PM In what comes as clearly a fallout of the Mumbai terror attacks, India has protested to Germany about its plans to sell submarines to Pakistan. India has told Germany to call off the sale of 214 submarines manufactured by HDW to Pakistan over the next few years. The deal which is worth over one billion dollars is likely to be signed in the next few days. India maintains that the sale would be a problem for India as it would definitely be used for conducting strikes against India.

A British mother faces jail in Dubai after being convicted of adultery. Marnie Pearce fears she may never see her two sons again. She insists she is innocent and that it is her ex-husband who cheated on her. Miss Pearce, 40, claims she was framed by Egyptian Ihab El-Labban so he could win custody of their children, Laith, seven and Ziad, three.

A mother of eight living on housing benefit in a £2.6million home provided by her London council said today: "I'm not going to pretend it isn't great." Francesca Walker was given the property because of a loophole which means Kensington and Chelsea council had to fund a suitable home in the borough for a family of that size. The 33-year-old Muslim convert has told of her new life in the Notting Hill townhouse with five bedrooms, three bathrooms, double living room, study and roof terrace on four floors which costs taxpayers £90,000 a year. Miss Walker, whose children by two...

Channel 4 could easily have picked another Iranian figure for its Christmas message. Iran is not short of brilliant minds and speakers. A far better choice would have been Shirin Ebadi, the Nobel Prize-winning Iranian human rights activist who has just had her office shut down in Tehran by Ahmadinejad’s government. Her message for human rights and justice, for which she has worked all her life, would have been far more befitting the message of Christmas and the beliefs of the founder of Christianity, Jesus Christ... By giving Ahmadinejad such a high-profile platform, the people of Iran could be forgiven...

After years of threats to Hirsi Ali, the death of Theo Van Gogh, and Muslims not assimilating by creating their own Islamic communities within the Netherlands, the government has finally seen the mistakes that they have made in regards to Muslim immigration. They were an open and overly tolerant society, but now they are going to be setting some guidelines for the Muslims immigrating there.

My Christian friends tell me that the message of Christmas is Peace on Earth and love of mankind. So why is England's Channel 4 hosting a Christmas message from the Warmongering purveyor of hatred, Islamofascist Iranian President Ahmadinejad. The message will be broadcast on Channel 4 Thursday evening as an alternative to the traditional Christmas television and radio address from Queen Elizabeth. The address will include dittys such as "If Christ were on earth today, undoubtedly he would stand with the people in opposition to bullying, ill-tempered and expansionist powers." Actually you sick bastard, if Christ were on earth today,...

There are about,1.6 million Muslims in Great Britain and while they represent only 3% of the population it is a very vocal and radical minority. Almost half of Britain’s mosques are under the control of a hard line Islamic sect whose leading preacher loathes Western values and has called on Muslims to “shed blood” for Allah, an investigation by The Times has found. Riyadh ul Haq, who supports armed jihad and preaches contempt for Jews, Christians and Hindus, is in line to become the spiritual leader of the Deobandi sect in Britain. The ultra-conservative movement, which gave birth to the...

The British finally take a step to wake up their country by showing the Islam truth movie Fitna and the EU turns around and helps the enemy out by banning the screening. The reason that they gave for banning the film was that there were protests in Pakistan, Iran, Indonesia and Afghanistan after a Dutch screening. UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon calls the film "offensively anti-Islamic".

BBC has got a Muslim trying to rewrite historic Jewish Jesus from Judea (attempting -- to no avail -- to "Arabize"& confuse JUDEA with Arabia...). Accompanied with a typical Islamic-bigotry's bombarding propaganda of the "bad" Israelis that dare to try fight the Arab Muslim (invaders) that terrorize the Jews (with security checkpoints). http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/7784227.stm BBC's Aleem Maqbool: The road to Bethlehem

A SPEEDING driver has avoided a ban after his lawyer argued that he needed his licence to visit both his wives. Mohammed Anwar, 51, was caught driving at more than twice the speed limit on his way home from work in Falkirk. The restaurant owner, who has two wives under Islamic law, was clocked driving at 64mph in a 30mph zone on the Cumbernauld Road, Muirhead, Glasgow, on 21 August, 2007. Yesterday at Airdrie Sheriff Court, Anwar, of Clouston Street, Glasgow, pleaded guilty to speeding, but his lawyer, Paul Nicolson, said: "He realises his licence is at risk, but this...

The politically correct of the UK have out done themselves today. They have taken an anti-Christmas Muslim teacher and promoted him to a government school inspector. In the past as a group of non-Muslims and Muslim children were signing Christmas songs, Israr Khan's Ofsted stood up and screamed at the crying children "Who is your God? Why are you saying Jesus and Jesus Christ? God is not your God - it is Allah."

Todays politically correct move in the UK is telling Christmas charity workers not to shake their rattles out of fear of offending other religions. How long will it be until the politically correct there call for a complete ban of Christmas? Because it seems that is the direction that they are heading in.

Christian leaders in the UK continue to bow down to Islam as if they have no concern for their own religion. This time a new multi-faith prayer room in a UK prison is set to open with Islamic foot washing baths installed, but a Christian crucifix with Jesus nailed to it will not be used out fear of offending the Muslim prisoners.

A prison’s new chapel will not contain a crucifix to avoid offending Muslim inmates, it emerged today. Bosses at HMP Lewes have been told the traditional Christian symbol, featuring Jesus nailed to a cross, must not be used in the Grade-II listed Victorian jail’s ‘multi-faith space’. The room - part of a £1million new block - has been split in two, with one half featuring heated foot baths so Muslim worshippers can wash their feet before prayer. But the other side, dedicated to Christian prayer, contains just a simple wooden cross and portable alter - both of which can be...

A British prison has decided not to include a crucifix in the décor of its new chapel for fear of offending Muslim inmates. The ‘multi-faith space’ at HMP Lewes is divided in two sections, according to the Daily Mail. One half-features heated footbaths for Muslim worshipers; the other side, dedicated to Christian prayer, features a removable altar and a plain wooden cross – also removable. Plans to include the traditional Christian crucifix were erased from the chapel’s blueprints on the advice of a Muslim imam, the Daily Mail reported.

In the past we have heard of Muslim cab drivers who would not allow a passenger into their car who was being accompanied by a seeing eye dog . Now we have a blind man in the UK who was trying to take his girlfriend out for her birthday being barred from a restaurant because of his dog.

In Scotland, exceeding the speed limit by more than 30 mph is generally an infraction penalized by the loss of one’s license. Except, it would seem, if you are a polygamous Muslim husband dashing between homes in an effort to service more than one wife. That exact scenario occurred earlier this year when a Scottish judge allowed a Muslim husband to retain his license after he was booked for driving 64 mph in a 30 mph zone. “He has one wife in Motherwell and another in Glasgow and sleeps with one one night and stays with the other the next...

"Belgian police arrest Al Qaeda terror suspects," from Agence France-Presse, December 11 (thanks to Alex): AFP - Belgian police on Thursday arrested 14 suspected Al-Qaeda members, including a man believed to have been planning a suicide attack, officials announced, as EU leaders gathered in Brussels. "We don't know where the suicide attack was to take place," federal prosecutor Johan Delmulle told reporters. "It could have been an operation in Pakistan or Afghanistan, but it can't be ruled out that Belgium or

A Muslim lawyer has launched an extraordinary rant against Christmas, branding the celebration 'evil'. Hate preacher Anjem Choudary claimed the festival was the 'pathway to hell' and urged his followers to boycott it. 'In the world today many Muslims, especially those residing in Western countries, are exposed to the evil celebration Christmas,' he raged in a sermon broadcast on the internet. 'Many take part in the festival celebrations by having Christmas turkey dinners. 'Decorating the house, purchasing Christmas trees or having Christmas turkey meals are completely prohibited by Allah. 'Many still practise this corrupt celebration as a remembrance of the...

Fiery UK Islamic cleric Anjem Choudary who recently had called for war within the UK, has now come out against the holiday of Christmas. He has stated that those celebrating Christmas will burn in hell as Christmas contradicts Islam.

Once again Muslims in Europe take to the streets to riot. This time they were supposed to be celebrating the Islamic holiday of Eid. The celebrating done by 300 Muslims included throwing bicycles on the train tracks and rocks at the police. Over the last few years this type of behaviour has occurred several times in Europe.

A rising tide of (Muslims) migrants unsettles Athens   By Niki Kitsantonis Published: October 2, 2008 ATHENS: About 80,000 migrants have traveled to Greece this year and decided to stay illegally, according to the authorities, who say the country can no longer handle the task of guarding the European Union's southeast flank.   While initial problems with the flood of migrants from Africa and the Middle East who are desperate to enter Europe centered on the Aegean islands, migrants are now wreaking havoc in the capital.   The historic center of Athens has been riven by several street battles in...

A Saudi businessman has donated $2.78 million for the construction of the first mosque at the North Pole. It was reported that the Muslim community in northern Norway asked that the municipality in the region allocate to it 1,000 square meters for a mosque that will be the largest in the north of the country. Source: Shams, Saudi Arabia, December 6, 2008

While the North Pole’s landscape may evoke images of igloos and barren snow fields, the crescent moon and minaret will soon vie for their place in Norway’s Arctic thanks to a Saudi businessman’s donation to build the region’s first mosque. A Saudi businessman has donated 20 million Krone ($2.78 million) to build the first mosque in the Arctic region, near the northern part of Norway, according to a news report published by a local Saudi newspaper. In April the Muslim association in the Arctic town of Inuvik, Canada raised $40,000 to purchase land for a mosque two degrees above the...

The Football Association have vowed to "take the strongest possible action'' against anyone found guilty of Islamophobic or racist chanting against Middlesbrough striker Mido. The Egyptian striker was targeted by Newcastle fans as he warmed up in the Tees-Tyne derby at the Riverside Stadium last weekend, and has called on the game's governing body to take stern measures. Mido suffered similar abuse during Newcastle's last visit to Boro a year ago, but an FA investigation then did not result in any banning orders due to difficulties in identifying culprits. However, two men, aged 49 and 23, have been arrested and...

A SCHOOL cancelled its Christmas performances to make way for Eid. A letter was sent to parents of children at Greenwood Junior School, Sneinton, on Monday. But following complaints from parents, a second letter was sent apologising and explaining that the performances would be staged in the new year. READ ARTICLE HERE

A primary school infuriated parents after cancelling the traditional Christmas nativity play to make way for the Muslim festival of Eid. Parents at the Nottingham school were told that the planned performance had to be pulled because some of the pupils wanted to celebrate Eid at home with their families. In a letter, sent by the staff at Greenwood Junior School, mothers and fathers were told: 'It is with much regret that we have had to cancel this year's Christmas performances. 'This is due to the Eid celebrations that take place next week and its effect on our performers.' However,...

Catering to Islam is becoming an almost daily event in the United Kingdom. This time a Junior School has put off their yearly Christmas performance because it conflicts with the Islamic holiday of Eid which marks the end of the fasting month of Ramadan. The Christmas play has been rescheduled for after the new year.

Greenwood Junior School sent out a letter to parents saying the three-day festival of Eid al-Adha, which takes place between December 8 and 11, meant that Muslim children would be off school. That meant planning for the traditional nativity play were shelved because the school felt it would be too difficult to run both celebrations side by side. The move has left parents furious. Janette Lynch, whose seven-year-old son Keanu attends the school, in Sneinton, Nottingham, said: "The head has a whole year to plan for Eid and so she should be able to plan for both religious festivals. "I...

British parents looking to see their children in a traditional Christmas play are fuming after a school decided to cancel the performance because it conflicts with the Muslim festival of Eid al-Adha, the U.K.’s Telegraph newspaper reported. Officials at the Greenwood Junior School in Nottingham decided to postpone the annual holiday performance because it would have been too difficult to have both the Christmas and Eid celebrations together, The Telegraph reported. But parents told The Telegraph that they were originally told the performance was canceled because Muslim children wanted to celebrate Eid with their families, making it difficult to schedule...

Europe is heading towards a major cultural clash with an ever-growing Muslim population that does not want to adopt European culture, former Mossad chief Ephraim Halevy said Monday. "We can expect a major inter-cultural clash in Europe," Halevy said in an address at the Jerusalem Institute for Israel Studies on the changing face of the world on the eve of 2009. He added that prominent European countries, as well as Russia, could be nearly 50 percent Muslim by 2050, noting that England was currently debating whether Islamic law can be applicable to British Muslims instead of British law in certain...

First Church leaders from Britain and Scotland foolishly backed the UK sharia courts. Now the Church wants Islamic prayer rooms and foot washing basins built in all Catholic schools. This has all been approved by the Archbishop of Birmingham Vincent Nichols who is the likely successor to Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O’Connor. This position would make Nichols the leader of the county's over 4 million Catholics.

Psycho Islamist Anjem Choudary has called for the blood of the non-Muslim Brits to run in the street. He wants an apartheid in the UK and for Muslims there to force non-Muslims to were signs like the Nazis did to the Jews in WW2. He wants the kaffirs to stand out as second class citizens.

With all the problems that the Islamic community is causing in the UK like violent acts, preaching for sharia law with no regard for the UK laws, the UK government continues to bend over backwards to cater to Islam. Now they have announced that they will be bringing in 5,000 Muslim butchers from Pakistan in an agreement called the Memorandum of Understanding between the National Halal Foods Group and the Overseas Employment Cooperation of Pakistan.

[. . .]there is nevertheless a sense in Britain that this was nothing to do with us - a horrible event happening in a faraway place. . . . Those who believe that Islamist terror can be halted by addressing grievances around the world are profoundly mistaken. [. . .] Yesterday, Gordon Brown said . . .'Mumbai'. . .had raised 'huge questions' about how the world should address violent extremism. Wrongly believing that it can use religious fundamentalists to counter terrorist recruitment and that it must at all costs avoid causing offence, it is failing to stop extremists spreading their...
