London Father of Two Began Suicide Career

Another poor misunderstood misunderstander of Islam.

Planes, trains and automobiles.

Tube driver 'planned to take part in jihad' The Express

A London Underground Tube driver who is from Essex, planned to travel to Afghanistan or Pakistan with the intention to take part in a "violent jihad", a court has heard.

Amir Ali, who drove trains on the Bakerloo Line for five years, purchased a plane ticket to travel to Islamabad and wrote a farewell letter to his family telling them that "Allah and his prophet Mohammed" came first, jurors were told.

When police searched the 28-year-old's home they found pictures of him posing with weapons including two AK47 rifles and a self-loading pistol, prosecutor Duncan Penny said.

He said: "It is no coincidence that also in his possession were various forms of extreme literature and propaganda advocating the use of violence against the non-believer - or kuffar - in the name of Islam."

Mr Penny said that in March 2009 Ali paid cash towards a flight from Heathrow to Islamabad and planned to leave his wife and four-year-old daughter and three-year-old son behind.

[...]

"He was to travel alone, leaving his wife and children behind him at their home in east London. He had written a letter to his wife in which he instructed her and his little boy what to do after he had gone.



"In the letter he told her not to be upset or depressed with him for not being there as, he claimed, he always would remember her and his children. He told her to tell the children that he loved them very much but that he had to go for the sake of Allah, because Allah and his prophet Mohammed come first."

Thank you, father

Any church that aids and abets the jihad agenda is suicidal at best, morally depraved and debauched at worst. Let's hope many of the US Methodist churches heading in this direction change course.

Huge props to David Hallam, who preaches in Methodist churches around Birmingham. He accused his own church of wasting funds to pursue a vendetta against the Jews. The individual can change the course of human events. Hear! Hear!

Methodist preacher to sue his own church over claim of anti-Israel bias Telegraph (hat tip danielle)

The legal dispute has been prompted by a controversial resolution passed at the Methodist Conference which called for a boycott of some Israeli goods.

If the legal action is successful, it would likely bring to an end all similar campaigns that boycott Israeli goods and services.

David Hallam, who preaches in Methodist churches around Birmingham, has accused his own church of wasting funds to pursue a vendetta against Israel. There are no Methodist churches in either Israel or the Occupied Territories.

Mr Hallam, 62, a former labour MEP, said: "What I object to is money which I am putting on the collection plate on a Sunday being used to fund a political campaign against the Jewish state. This is both discriminatory and a misuse of a charity's funds.

"The Methodist Church seems to think it has a God given right to tell Jews how to run their affairs. It is very disturbing we are getting involved in a territory where we don't have any members or churches."

Mr Hallam has recruited Paul Diamond, a barrister with expertise in human rights law and religious law, to bring the case.

Mr Diamond will argue that the Methodist resolution passed in the summer is in breach of European human rights law and a wide-ranging European Union directive on racism.

By singling out Israel, rather than other countries with often worse human rights records, Mr Diamond will claim the church is being deliberately prejudiced against the Jewish state.

Last week the Methodist Church defended the resolution, pointing out the boycott was only of goods made in illegal Israeli settlements in the West Bank and Gaza.

SARRAZIN ´s Problem Al Quds Muslimin schreit Scheiss Juden Berlin

As Jonathan Hoffman noted:

The Al Quds Day march is the biggest annual Israel hatefest in London. It is nothing more than a march of Ahmadinejad supporters, a front for the Mullahs. Today there were many Hezbollah and Hamas flags, slightly altered to prevent their owners being arrested for offences against the Terrorist Acts….This hateful march should never have been allowed to take place. “We Are All Hizbolla Now” and “Zionism Equals Racism” were just two of the racist chants.

Here’s one of the videos from the event:

Non-Muslims Have no Say; Except We Do

Douglas Murray in the Daily Beast

The very idea of building a mosque there is a dangerous sign of Muslim demands on Western societies, says British authority Douglas Murray—and it shows that the U.S. must make a stand.

“Islam is a religion of peace.” That is what every Western leader says every time a Muslim sets something off.

They never tell us which ones they think are the violent religions. But for Islam it’s a win-win. Knock down a tower and everyone in government says how terrific Islam is. Build a tower and everyone in government says how terrific Islam is. Either way it’s a gain for Islam.

My country, Britain, has led the way in this. But it is fascinating watching Mayor Bloomberg and Co. following the British curve.

Subway bombs? “Peace.” Airline plots? “Peace.” Car bombs? “Peace.” It must be hard these days being a violent jihadi. No one in power believes what you say. It’s just impossible to get your message across.

The U.S. authorities are making the same mistakes, and in exactly the same order, as those that the British government has made. Violent Islam is the problem and therefore some other form of yet to be decided upon peaceful Islam is the solution. Either way, win for Islam. Whatever the question, the answer is “Islam.”

In my experience this is a terrible mistake. The answer to violent Islam is not Islam. And contra every liberal pundit practicing their religion of peace and acceptance speech, building a mosque by ground zero is not a counter-argument to violent Islam. It is an apology, and an offering, to it.

[....]

. But even if the imam of that mosque didn’t have questionable affiliations. Even if he’d never addressed an event organized by the revolutionary empire-building far-right bigots of Hizb ut-Tahrir. Even if the imam behind the ground zero mosque was the nicest, most peaceable, most out-on-a-limb progressive Muslim anyone had ever heard of, the building would still be wrong and it should still be possible to oppose it without being branded—nonsense-term of the hour—an “Islamophobe.”

When the pope comes to London next month, he is going to be greeted by substantial numbers of protests organized by people calling for his arrest and accusing him of the wildest hatreds. Yet we do not hear that critics of the pope are bigoted, “Christianophobic.” Nor even if they were should it cause any alarm. But Islam is different.

Why? It goes back to the “phobia” business. Arachnophobia is an irrational fear of spiders and claustrophobia is an irrational fear of small places. They are irrational because most small spiders and most small spaces do not kill you. There are, however, very sensible reasons to be fearful of many forms of Islam. Commuters in London and Madrid know why. As do Dutch filmmakers. And so do the numerous Muslim-born writers, artists, and musicians who spend their lives in hiding for fear of murder from their erstwhile co-religionists for “crimes” like “apostasy” and literary criticism.

But the cowardice in identifying this and cringing stupidity of what passes for intellectuals and commentators in America, like the U.K., today is staggering.

I regard myself as pretty much color blind and religion blind. And I expect the favor to be returned. When I go into a mosque, I take my shoes off. When I go to Muslim countries, I behave in the manner they expect. But religious toleration is a two-way street. America is not a Muslim country.

Islam however has never been historically very good at understanding this. For all leading Islamic scholars the whole world belongs to Islam. Non-Muslims don’t have a say in it.

Except we do.

Pro Israel Flotilla Rally

And the good marched against the global forces of evil. Juniper in the Desert has loads of pics and video here:

IT WAS FABULOUS!

There were about 2000 of us, including the EDL, JewishEDL set up by the wondrous Joe Bloggs who set up the LGBT EDL.

There was a fantastic sense of optimism and pride in Israel! The truth about the terrorist flotilla is coming out in great lumps all over the internet. Unfortunately, the Muslim Broadcasting Corpse(BBC) is WAY behind the real news, as are other dhimmi news media such as Daily Mail, Times and Telegraph. Its pointless mentioning the totally-submitted others.

We had tons of support from passers-by, who waved Israeli flags from the top of buses, from taxis and from posh cars. We even got the thumbs-up from a muslim girl on the top of a bus - unless that is a rude sign in her country!

There were hundreds of lovely young people - possibly half the Tottenham football club supporters, which really gave the rally a huge injection of energy and happiness: good to know the future is in their hands!

Also a number of Orthodox Jews, a charming Portuguese man, plenty of Israelis and a very beautiful and clever Brazilian woman! ;) (photos courtesy cassandra
