Norge: Indvandrere bag voldtægter

Antallet af voldtægter i Oslo er stigende. Nu siger justitsmisteren fra i et interview i VG:

Storberget ber om mobilisering etter voldtektsbølge

Av Marianne Vikås – 21.04.11

Justisminister Knut Storberget (Ap) vil ha mer fokus på mennene som begår voldtekt. Han mener at særlig menn med utenlandsk bakgrunn har mye å lære.

Tirsdag sto 30 kvinner i Oslo frem i VG og fortalte om sin egen redsel etter syv overfallsvoldtekter i byen de siste ukene. En stor andel av kvinnene fortalte at de er skremte, noen så mye at de nå unngår å bevege seg ute i gatene etter mørkets frembrudd.

Sandmonkey om Egypten

Reconsidering the Brotherhood’s Inevitability

Steve Emerson – April 21, 2011

Steve Emerson

He joined in the demonstrations in Cairo’s Tahrir Square, enduring a beating from Hosni Mubarak’s forces while trying to topple a dictator. Mahmoud Salem’s hopes for Egypt’s future have everything to do with pluralism and economic growth and nothing to do with empowering Islamists like the Muslim Brotherhood.

During an appearance Thursday at American University in Washington, Salem explained why he’s confident that conventional wisdom about the Brotherhood is wrong, and its ascendance to power after parliamentary elections this fall is far from certain.

“I’m not afraid of the Brotherhood,” says Salem, who writes under the Internet moniker “Sandmonkey,” and has a popular blog, Rantings of a Sandmonkey. “They are a minority.”

A Pacifist? He Hated Israel

by Fiamma Nirenstein – April 21, 2011

The cruelty of the public execution of a young man who had family and friends, as it was the case with Vittorio Arrigoni’s killing, is always awful. This is clear. What is not clear to the European public is that it is evident that the killers are his old Islamic Jihadists friends from Gaza. But they could have been Afghanis To understand the death of this Italian activist, one important fact must be grasped: his death was triggered by the way he mixed his life with that of his potential enemies, whom he thought were his best friends. But militant fundamentalists, or Islamists do not have stable affinities and “best friends.” The only thing that counts for them is their interpretation of Quran. Hamas’s Gaza, where Arrigoni was killed, is a land ruled by awful and distant laws. Arrigoni loved the Palestinians, but for them, he remained a total foreigner.

Why Are Palestinians Killing People Who Support Them?

by Khaled Abu Toameh – April 26, 2011

In April, two “pro-Palestinian” activists were murdered by Palestinians –- one in the West Bank and the other in the Gaza Strip.

The fact that the two were staunch supporters of the Palestinian cause and were known for their deep hatred of Israel was not enough to save their lives.

In the eyes of their murderers, the two “pro-Palestinian” activists were “infidels” who sought to spread corrupt Western values.

Frankrig: Nidra Poller om laïcité

Bønner og tørklæder i gaderne underminerer den franske laïcité. Franskmændene diskuterer. Nicolas Sarkozys parti, UMP, har lavet en plan:

UMP unveils ideas for secularism

The UMP party has produced a total of 26 propositions which cover areas such as funding and the relationship between religion, the state, the public and the workplace.

French Ruling Party Discusses Separation of Church and State

Nidra Poller – April 20, 2011

The video of a Koran-burning by an obscure pastor in Gainesville, Florida went viral, spinning all the way to Mazar-i-Sharif (Afghanistan) where, on April 1st, an enraged mob stormed the UNAM (United Nations Assistance Mission) compound, killing 3 UN staff members and 4 Nepalese Gurkha guards, and wounding dozens. Two of the victims were reportedly beheaded. Sensitivity in France to criticism of Islam, Muslims, and/or immigrants does not reach murderous proportions, but controversy has been raging ever since the UMP announced it was holding a debate on laïcité (France’s official separation of church and state). The integrity of President Sarkozy’s government was questioned, the debate was branded a sop to the Front National, petitions circulated and dire predictions were vociferated. The Convention on “Laïcité pour mieux vivre ensemble” [laïcité for getting along together] was held on April 5th at the Pullman Hotel across the street from Gare Montparnasse… and French media lost interest in the whole affair.

Is it because the 26 concrete proposals presented during the 4-hour event belied the lurid accusations smeared ahead of the debate? The proposed measures are clearly not motivated by a fiendish anti-Muslim ideology; they are a concrete political response to authentic issues raised from the ground up. Though Christianity and Judaism were thrown in to keep Islam company when touchy issues tear at the social fabric, Islam was separated out for special consideration in the second half of the Convention.

Victor Davis Hanson – Mellemøsten

The Nature of Arab Unrest

Neither the Arab Street nor the Obama administration has looked for the real causes of Arab poverty and oppression.

Victor Davis Hanson – April 20, 2011

Across the Middle East, millions are rebelling against their poverty and lack of freedom, blaming their corrupt leaders, who have ransacked their countries’ treasuries and natural wealth. The objects of vituperation, then, are particular individual autocrats. Few in fits of introspection blame endemic cultural practices such as tribalism, gender apartheid, and religious intolerance as equally responsible for the general misery. A Mubarak, Qaddafi, Ben Ali, King Abdullah, or Assad is thus not a natural expression of a society’s collective values and customs, but supposedly an aberration, and one forced upon Middle Easterners by an array of often sinister foreign interests.

So sometimes the object of protests is a pro-American autocrat, sometimes an anti-American totalitarian. The proverbial “people” are rebelling against juntas, monarchs, collectivized tyrannies, theocrats, and run-of-the-mill dictatorships. No one knows whether new promised plebiscites will lead to constitutional governments or, as in the Iran of 1979–82, a new round of dictatorship. No one knows, either, whether an unbridled Arab Street might in fact prove more illiberal than the old illiberal rulers. All hope that the Westernized voices on the BBC and CNN are in fact speaking for the fist-shaking mobs in the street.

Wake Up, Critics: Here’s Obama’s Grand Plan

Hint: the White House is a stepping stone.

April 20, 2011 – by Leon de Winter

I have always been an admirer of David Axelrod — since I found out who he was. His creation of the Obama myth is one of the most impressive marketing and propaganda feats in history, carefully crafted from a simple set of rules and masterfully applied to challenging, shifting circumstances.

Axelrod knew just what he was doing. He created an African American candidate without the ghetto rap. He created an ultimate urban intellectual alternative to George W. Bush — a veritable anti-Bush. He created a pseudo-legend based upon a semi-fictional autobiography.

He created a quasi-evangelical being with the gift to heal the earth.

Danish Show Trial: Inquisition Judicial Procedures

by Katrine Winkel Holm – April 21, 2011

On April 26 my colleague, the Danish author and historian Lars Hedegaard, President of the Danish Free Press Society and The International Free Press Society, will be back in court accused of “racism” for comments he made during a conversation on the Islamic treatment of women.

Without his permission, the entire conversation was electronically disseminated, which provided his detractors with the opportunity to denounce him to the police.

The district prosecutor for Copenhagen and Bornholm jumped at the chance to get this prominent free speech advocate convicted of “racism” under Denmark’s infamous “hate speech” article 266b of the penal code, but suffered defeat when the case came before the lower court at Frederiksberg in January this year. The judge did not believe that Hedegaard’s comments had been made with the intent of public dissemination, which is what the prosecutor must prove in order to secure a conviction under article 266b.
