September 2, 2014: After kidnapping schoolgirls, Boko Haram takes aim at churches in northeast Nigeria "NAIROBI, KENYA — Five months after Boko Haram abducted more than 200 girls in Nigeria’s Borno State, the Islamic extremist group has begun occupying churches in the country’s northeastern region, church officials there said.

The militant group, which church leaders and analysts view as an African variation of the Islamic State, is also beheading men, forcing Christian women to convert to Islam and taking them as wives, officials said.

“Things are getting pretty bad,” said the Rev. John Bakeni, the secretary of the Maiduguri Roman Catholic diocese in northeastern Nigeria. “A good number of our parishes in Pulka and Madagali areas have been overrun in the last few days.”..................

August 28, 2014: Rape Jihad: Inside ISIS’ Harem for Captured Non-Muslim Women "Islamic apologists spent the last few decades insisting that Islamic laws involving the rape of female prisoners were invented by “Islamophobes”. And even if they weren’t, surely no modern Muslim Jihadist force would implement them.

Now, as in so many other things, ISIS has proven them wrong.

I was referring to looking the other way when a heinous crime is commited not the specifics of the crime itself.

When I lived in Sheffield, we had friends who lived in an area with a growing Paki population. We found trying to get a cab to their area after a pub crawl difficult. Cabbies didn’t want to venture into those areas.

You have to wonder—where were these girls’ parents, at any stage of this bizarre and disgusting process?

According to the article:

The victims were white and overwhelmingly from broken homes.
In addition to the problem of Islam you also have the problem of the breakdown of the family. This was accomplished by the advancement of Feminist ideology and liberal amorality. These poor children were deprived of the stable families and protective fathers that they deserved.

The evil of Islam needs to be addressed but also there is also the need to rebuild the family with permanently married parents carrying out their traditional roles as fathers and mothers. Sex, childbirth and marriage need to be reconnected with the distinct but complementary roles of men and women in society and in the family. The Sexual Revolution and "Women's Liberation" need to be declared the failures that they are and reversed.

July 24, 2014: ISIS reportedly orders women and girls of Mosul to undergo ‘genital mutilation’ "Following the purge of Christians in the Iraqi city of Mosul and the destruction of a nearly 2,000-year-old Christian house of worship, fighters with the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) have continued to impose a grotesque and medieval form of Sharia Law on the city’s remaining Muslim residents.

On Wednesday, a United Nations representative claimed that the Sunni Islamist militant group order all women and girls of ages ranging from 11 to 46 to undergo the despicable practice of female circumcision. While a departure from past Islamist practice, this move would represent yet another violation of international human rights as defined by the United Nations.

“The ritual cutting of girls’ genitals is practiced by some African, Middle Eastern and Asian communities in the belief it prepares them for adulthood or marriage,” the BBC reported on Thursday.................."

As long as Christian culture is opposed, they support it.
That’s why they’ll never speak ill of Islam or its practices.

There is a point that probably hasn’t been made publically, nor even in general private discussion about Islam and the First Amendment: Does a religion that stands for the abrogation of free exercise deserve its protections? Is a polity that believes in unequal treatment party to the social contract that was America before “We the People” was even codified?

“We mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.” This is why the left has made a point of importing Islam: to inculcate and empower a police state. Interesting that it stands to be fulfillment of Genesis 16:11-12.

I’m talking about the BRITISH AUTHORITIES who sat on their cowardly asses and let this go on for 15 years!!!

Worse than that.

From other stories, there is good evidence that evidence of such crimes was intentionally stolen or destroyed by elements in the social services community and/or police.

Reasonable people can make a pretty good guess as to the likely ethnic background of the individuals involved.

From the link:

“...In a BBC documentary, the author of a 2002 report to the Rotherham council on the scandal said her work was quashed. When she noted that the perpetrators were from the Pakistani community, a colleague told her “you must never refer to that again — you must never refer to Asian men.” She was sent to diversity training and, by her account, nearly fired.....”

Farage doesn’t have to reference this specific town and it’s ongoing problems. He and UKIP would be accused of piling on.

Farage and UKIP have made a sufficient case already against mass immigration and it’s detrimental cultural legacy in Britain. This story plays right into UKIP’s political hands with them having to mention it.

Politically, UKIP will benefit from this story coming out now, but they can’t risk politicizing it directly for their own gain. They don’t need to. They’ve been saying all along how destructive mass immigration from certain quarters is. This story proves them right without them having to say ‘I told you so’.

PC. It is a cancer that is pervasive in all Western countries. We must remove it.

Why should we?

It perfectly illustrates the point of people staying quiet to protect their own turf. It’s not the only example but it is a very clear example to point to

Yup. In other stories, a worker, possibly this same one, was reassigned, and then all the data and evidence she had already collected mysteriously disappeared from computers and files.

If this case continues to be pursued over there, I’ll be surprised if they don’t find the problems wasn’t limited to this one city. In fact, I suspect it will turn out to be more or less systemic.

I think it’s highly relevant to point out that under widely held, though not universal, interpretations of Islam, the actions of these young men was not only non-criminal, it was laudable. Islam means submission, not peace, and they were simply enforcing the submission of the dhimmis, as is the obligation of all good Muslims.

They tolerated it for the same reason why major hasan was allowed to murder 13 of his fellow soldiers: everyone knew that the administration didn’t want the jihadis held accountable for their actions.
Once again, political correctness leads to pain and suffering for normal people.
