BERLIN—Germany is bracing for possible terrorist attacks amid growing signs that Islamic extremists are preparing at least one assault somewhere in the country in the coming weeks, possibly in the capital, Berlin. Authorities in Berlin are racing to track two suspected suicide bombers believed to be planning to strike a prominent location, according to a person familiar with the investigation. Authorities believe the two prospective suicide bombers they are searching for in Berlin arrived in the German capital about six weeks ago from the Waziristan region of Pakistan, according to a person familiar with the investigation. The suspects are trying...

A dedicated cadre of counterrevolutionaries struggle to subvert the legacy of our Revolution and return us to our former status as subjects of a foreign political philosophy controlled by alien (European) elites. In 1988, wrestler Rowdy Roddy Piper starred in the film They Live. He finds a pair of special sunglasses that reveals subliminal messages beneath billboard ads, magazines, and books of every sort. The messages are simple. OBEY, SUBMIT, NO INDEPENDENT THOUGHT. The glasses also reveal the existence of alien beings that have disguised themselves as humans and dwell among us. He soon learns that the aliens are as...

A Muslim woman has been awarded more than £13,500 after she was sacked for refusing to wear a headscarf at the estate agency where she worked. Ghazala Khan - a 31-year-old non-practising Muslim - was fired less than two weeks into her job at a company run by traditional Muslim businessman Masood Ghafoor simply because she refused to cover her hair. Mr Ghafoor told Miss Khan, who had nine years experience in the trade, that his wife and female relatives all wore full veils or burkas, telling her that her parents had given her 'far too much freedom'. A tribunal...

The Civilization of Islam One of the clearest lessons about Islam is found in the Sharia. The largest part of the Sharia is devoted to regulating the life of Muslims down to the smallest detail. There is no aspect of life that is not regulated -- sex, food, art, business, education, prayer, manners, speech, and how to think and not to think. There is no aspect of life that is outside the power of Sharia -- religion, politics, ethics, and culture are included. The Sharia is the operating manual for a complete civilization. Islam is complete within itself and needs...

Former astronaut Gene Cernan condemned NASA Chairman Bolten for his lunatic comments this past weekend on Aljazeera.

With American troops pouring into insurgent strongholds in Afghanistan and the United States succeeding in killing insurgent leaders with drone attacks in Pakistan, the Obama administration is beginning to consider whether it has gained the upper hand sufficiently to justify an effort to begin talks with the Taliban. President Obama met with his war cabinet on Friday, and the issue of reconciling with the Taliban is gaining traction, even as administration officials debate whether the time is right. A senior administration official pointed to recent successes by American and Pakistani forces in capturing and interrogating senior Taliban leaders in Pakistan....

A controversial plan to build a mosque with two 100ft minarets next to Sandhurst (military academy) has been scrapped...The £3million building would have had a clear view over the military academy and is just 400 yards from its parade ground - prompting fears it could be a security threat. A listed Victorian school building was set to be demolished to make way for the huge Saudi Arabian-style building. More than 6,500 residents signed a petition to oppose the application because of fears it would change the Victorian character of the area. The proposal for the mosque in Camberley, Surrey, has...

The Brits are nuts: "Yorkshire, England -- An Iraqi immigrant who stabbed two doctors to death at a Yorkshire hospital has won the right to remain in Britain – after judges ruled that he would pose a danger to the public in his homeland. Paranoid schizophrenic Laith Alani, 41, has been kept in secure hospitals for 19 years after he killed consultant cosmetic surgeons Kenneth Paton and Michael Masser at Pinderfields Hospital, Wakefield. "The Home Office wanted to deport him to Iraq on his release, but an immigration tribunal decided such a move would breach his human rights and put...

There's nothing new in Bill Whittle's expose of radical Islam's influence in Washington, D.C. Long time readers of The Jawa Report will have known this from countless stories. Knowing this, then why am I still reeling? Go check them out at the links below. The Islamic Infiltration, Part 1: Inside Our Government, Armed With Our Secrets The Islamic Infiltration, Part 2: From Influence to Insurrection I'm not 100% on board with the conclusions made by Bill Whittle's sources. I think much of the influence the Muslim Brotherhood has on US policy is made not so much out of a concerted...

Britain is set to ban a Muslim group that recently caused outrage by proposing a demonstration in the town that receives the bodies of British war dead killed abroad, the Home Office said Sunday. The ban would prevent Al-Muhajiroun, also known as Islam4UK, from having meetings or raising money. Attending a meeting or being a member of Al-Muhajiroun or Islam4UK would be a criminal offense, a Home Office spokesman said. The spokesman declined to be named, in line with government policy. "Proscription is a tough but necessary power to tackle terrorism," said the Home Office, which is responsible for domestic...

A Muslim chef who lost a claim of religious discrimination against Scotland Yard after complaining he was forced to cook sausages and bacon faces a legal bill of more than £75,000. Hasanali Khoja accused the Metropolitan Police of failing to consider his Islamic beliefs when he was asked to handle pork products as a catering manager at a police station. The £23,000-a-year chef claimed suggestions by his bosses that he should wear gloves and use tongs left him 'stressed and humiliated'...But Mr Khoja, 62, lost his claim in May after a police employee told an employment tribunal how she saw...

Seeking photos of Obama bowing, to anyone, anything, anywhere.

Both Allahpundit and I referenced this blast from the past at the time Barack Obama bowed to Abdullah earlier this year. It’s worth posting again, not just because Obama pulled another boneheaded protocol violation and bowed to an emperor, but in this case bowed to the same emperor with whom Bill Clinton almost committed the same protocol violation. Douglas Jehr, in a 1994 New York Times report, made it clear that had Clinton actually executed a full bow, it would have destroyed a precedent dating to the founding of the Republic:

2012: Politically Correct Apocalypse Statue of Christ the Redeemer Crumbles The Kabaa Remains Intact thelastcrusade.org In Roland Emmerich’s latest film, you will see the destruction of St. Peter’s Cathedral, the Vatican, Notre Dame, and Westminster Abby. You’ll also see the collapse of the White House, the Capitol, Big Ben, and the House of Representatives. But 2012,the new film which purports the show the end of world, does not contain any scenes of Saudis being swallowed up by desert storms or Dubai being sucked into a sea of oil. Yes, all the great structures of Western civiliation and Christianity will...

[Judge Napolitano speaking]: "Both houses of the legislature have enacted this law, and once Governor Deval Patrick signs it, and he says that he will, it will become the law, and it will allow him to declare an emergency, and once he declares an emergency, he can authorize non-health care personnel, read that to mean police, to vaccinate people against their will. Now can they force adults to take vaccination? No. They will incarcerate adults without a trial, without charges, without even a search warrant who refuse to be vaccinated; this is what the statute authorizes. The staute also authorizes...

Scotland's justice minister has defended his decision to release the man convicted of the 1988 Pan Am airline bombing at an emergency debate in parliament. Kenny MacAskill reiterated that the decision to free Abdel Basset al-Megrahi on compassionate grounds was made in accordance with Scottish law and was not influenced by politics, diplomacy or trade. "In Scotland we are a people who pride ourselves on our humanity. The perpetration of an outrage ... cannot and should not be the basis for losing sight of who we are," he said. He also added that Libya, which celebrated al-Megrahi's return, had previously...

In an in Santa Barbara, California, last Saturday, I discussed the imminent threats to free speech -- and how they will affect our ability to combat the global jihad and Islamic supremacism. Now here is more indication of just how threatened our right to free speech really is: "Sonia Sotomayor and the Future of Anti-Islamist Speech," by David J. Rusin for Islamist Watch...The United States holds a unique advantage in the fight against radical Islam: buttressed by the First Amendment, Americans' freedom to speak and write about the Islamist threat is unmatched anywhere in the Western world. However, such protections...

Since the Chicago press has been largely silent on the upcoming Hizb ut-Tahrir conference in Oak Law (their first major meeting in the U.S.), citizens who may be concerned that an Islamic supremacist/indoctrination group is meeting in their backyard are forced to research this group ourselves. They may want to start here. The Heritage Foundation issued a report on Hizb ut-Tahrir in 2003, calling it "an emerging threat to US interests in Central Asia." An excerpt: Hizb has called for a jihad against the U.S., its allies, and moderate Muslim states. The purpose of the jihad is "to find and...

(snip) And as the White House holds a bipartisan summit on immigration Thursday, Republicans are warning that Obama needs to offer a specific plan or risk seeing the issue die this Congress. “He needs to really lead on that,” said Sen. Mel Martinez (R-Fla.), who was a member of a bipartisan group that unsuccessfully pushed an immigration bill in 2007. “I think it’s very, very important that he give a clear signal on where he is on an issue with that level of specificity.” Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), another supporter of the 2007 bill, said President George W. Bush ran...
