Schoolboys punished with detention for refusing to kneel in class and pray to Allah

Two schoolboys were given detention after refusing to kneel down and ‘pray to Allah’ during a religious education lesson.
Parents were outraged that the two boys from year seven (11 to 12-year-olds) were punished for not wanting to take part in the practical demonstration of how Allah is worshipped.
They said forcing their children to take part in the exercise at Alsager High School, near Stoke-on-Trent - which included wearing Muslim headgear - was a breach of their human rights.
One parent, Sharon Luinen, said: “This isn’t right, it’s taking things too far.
“I understand that they have to learn about other religions. I can live with that but it is taking it a step too far to be punished because they wouldn’t join in Muslim prayer.
“Making them pray to Allah, who isn’t who they worship, is wrong and what got me is that they were told they were being disrespectful.
~
“Then two boys got detention and all the other children missed their refreshment break because of the teacher.
“Not only was it forced upon them, my daughter was told off for not doing it right.
“They’d never done it before and they were supposed to do it in another language.”
“My child has been forced to pray to Allah in a school lesson.” The grandfather of one of the pupils in the class said: “It’s absolutely disgusting, there’s no other way of putting it.
“My daughter and a lot of other mothers are furious about their children being made to kneel on the floor and pray to Islam. If they didn’t do it they were given detention.

Good for the boys. Shame on this idiotic school and those who run it.

“Terror Raids in Palembang”
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “According to multiple local press reports, the Palembang cell had planned to bomb the well-known Kafe Bedubel in the Chinese section of Bukitinggi, West Sumatra. The plan was scuttled, however, because of the fear of killing muslims and the cell had begun planning operations in Jakarta, where the likelihood of killing foreigners and non-muslims would be greater.
Members of the cell were also involved in a 2005 plot to assassinate a Christian pastor, Father Joshua, in Bandung.
The leader of the cell is believed to be a 35 year old Singaporean English teacher of Pakistani heritage named Mohammed Hassan (alias Omar, alias Fajar, alias Alim, alias Taslim, alias Abu Hazam) who was already wanted by Singaporean authorities. Hassan, Kompas reports, was a protege of JI bombmaker Dr. Azahari and had also trained with al-Qaida in Afghanistan. He is alleged to have also met with Usama bin Laden on several occasions.”
Hassan is believed to have run to South Sumatra with Mas Slamet Kastari. Kastari, an Indonesian national who served as the head of Jemaah Islamiyah (JI) in Singapore, disappeared after a daring prison escape in February. “It’s true,” an Indonesian police source told the Batam Pos. “He is now here. I can assure you that we are hunting for him in every corner now.”

“Khawaja associates discussed London attack on surveillance tapes, court hears”
Neco Cockburn and Laura Drake , Canwest News Service
Published: Friday, July 04, 2008
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “OTTAWA - Immediately after Momin Khawaja left London in 2004, his alleged co-conspirators in a terrorism plot were recorded by British Security Services having a long conversation about the best way to carry out jihad in England - including plotting to blow up one of London’s most famous nightclubs.
Omar Khyam, who was later convicted for his role in a foiled fertilizer-bomb plot, visited Jawad Akbar the evening of Feb. 22, 2004, hours after he dropped Khawaja off at London’s Heathrow Airport. British security services recorded the conversation as part of their extensive surveillance of the men, dubbed Operation Crevice.
The audio recordings were played in court Friday at Khawaja’s terror trial. The Ottawa man has pleaded not guilty to seven terrorism charges related to a foiled 2004 London bomb plot.
A court room sketch of Momin Khawaja.
During the recorded conversations, Akbar told Khyam he thinks the years of planning that went into the Sept. 11, 2001 attack were essentially ineffectual, because society has desensitized people to death and the attack was quickly forgotten.”

Abu Azzam al-Ansari and Umm Osama - both Egyptian - explained on Saudi television how they set up the online magazines Sada al-Jihad and al-Khansaa promoting jihadist thought and carrying news of the militant campaign.
An Islamic hardliner in Pakistan has reportedly said that it was incumbent on every Muslim across the world to fight alongside Afghan Muslims against America and its allied forces.
He said that America was the 'major terrorist' in the world and the biggest enemy of Islam and Pakistan.
There is no evidence that young terrorists are mentally ill, a leading authority on terrorism has claimed at the Annual Meeting of the Royal College of Psychiatrists.
JEDDAH: Security officers have arrested a man for directing the beam of a laser pointer at a Saudia aircraft while it was landing at Prince Muhammad Airport in Madinah on Wednesday, a civil aviation official said.
Japan, US to start joint cargo screening against nuclear terrorism
Snippets: Japan and the United States on Thursday announced a joint project to screen nuclear and other radioactive materials on cargo vessels as a measure to prevent nuclear terrorism.
The Megaports Initiative commits the two governments to set up the screening project at Japan's central Yokohama port to thwart nuclear proliferation.
The United States already has similar joint projects with nine nations including Singapore, Spain and the Philippines
Scientists discover way to protect against death following plague infection
Bacteria that cause pneumonic plague can evade our first-line defences, making it difficult for the body to fight infection. In fact, a signature of the plague is the lack of an inflammatory response.
Now, scientists have discovered a way to protect against death following infection with plague bacteria, by using molecules that can mimic the pathogens. According to research published in the July issue of Microbiology, these molecules make antibiotics more effective and can even be used to protect against other diseases.
Star witness in terrorism case warns prosecutors he's nobody's shill
Police informant Mubin Shaikh said Thursday that he was “nobody's shill.” Two weeks earlier, the Crown pounced on him at the trial of a youth on terrorism charges for contradicting statements he had made at a previous hearing. His warning to prosecutors came outside a Toronto court minutes after he pleaded guilty to threatening a pair of 12-year-old girls in April, 2007, in his Etobicoke neighbourhood.
Mr. Shaikh, a devout Muslim who was paid $300,000 by the RCMP to infiltrate an alleged terrorist cell, said a group of preteens had “swarmed” his two children, and when the group did not back off at his request, ...... Mr. Shaikh pleaded guilty to telling the girls, “Do you know who I am? I'm going to chop off your legs!”
“There is no evidence that young terrorists are mentally ill...”
OPINION: Generally speaking, I agree with the expert. For the most part jihadis have deliberately set on to a course of jihad.
