Udmærket udsendelse fra Secure Freedom Radio den 29. marts 2012. Værten hedder Fred Gandy:
Faith McDonnell, Cynthia Farahat, Thomas Donnelly, Dr. Zuhdi Jasser
Faith McDonnell, the director of Religious Liberty at the Institute on Religion and Democracy sheds light on the seriousness in the genocide in Sudan’s Nuba Mountains and the fight between the North and South. McDonnell goes on to explain that this is an attempt by the government to force Islamization and Arabization. Why is the government forcing its people to give up their identity as Africans? How is the U.S. responding to this crisis in Sudan?
The Muslim Brotherhood now controls the Egyptian Parliament, and is putting forth a candidate for the presidency in Egypt. Cynthia Farahat explains how this is creating a rift between the military and the Muslim Brotherhood What is the future of the Secular movement in Egypt? Is the U.S. support the Secular movement? There is a personal struggle between the head of Egyptian intelligence and the head of the military, what will the implications be of such a struggle?
Rep. Paul Ryan calls his budget plan “the path to prosperity, but it could be termed as well the path to security.” Thomas Donnelly analyzes the Ryan budget and its impact on our economy and security. Is the Ryan budget a way to downsize our government without jeopardizing our defense plan?
Dr. Zuhdi Jasser was recently appointed to the Commission in International Religious Freedom. He deliberates whether the commission will be able to do its work and effectively appraise religious persecution around the world. Dr. Jasser discusses his aspirations as to what he wishes to accomplish on the commission.

The Casablanca Sex Shop Mystery
By Ibn Warraq – March 03, 2012
“News of the inauguration of a sex shop in the Moroccan city of Casablanca did not stir the ethical and religious controversy expected to take place in a conservative society, but it did take on a political dimension as suspicions arose over an anti-government ploy. The timing of the inauguration of the first sex shop in Morocco drove several activists to view the action as a political one aimed at embarrassing the new Islamist Prime Minister Abdelilah Benkirane appointed in November 2011″.- Al Arabiya News
After our tongue-in-cheek article yesterday about Morocco’s first female private detective, we could hardly believe the news reported by Al Arabiya, that a sex shop had opened in Casablanca – or maybe it hadn’t. It looked like a case for Myriam Marzak to investigate. Ibn Warraq reports.

Tja, sådan har det jo været i mange år. Vi skal nok ikke forvente, at Folketinget gør noget ved det. Det er stærke kræfter, der vil have en befolkningsudskiftning. Politi, told og skat har i generationer fortiet problemets omfang. Hver gang der har været razzia i kiosker, pizzeriaer etc., har vi kunnet læse i aviserne, at hver femte-sjette medarbejder var illegal. Men det er også det eneste, befolkningen har hørt om det. Ved andre former for kriminalitet holder politiet den slags oplysninger tilbage. Man planlægger nok at lade problemet vokse, indtil man er nødt til at give amnesti for at holde ro i gaderne. Når først der er mange nok kan afbrændinger af bydele udrette lidt af hvert. De fremmede er her, fordi man vil gennemtrumfe en udvikling, der ikke har nogen demokratisk legitimitet. Og vi kan intet stille op.
Ifølge danske politifolk stiger antallet af illegale udlændinge i Danmark voldsomt, og i dag kan der være op til 50.000 mennesker, der bor og arbejder illegalt her i landet, ved hjælp af en falsk identitet fra et andet EU-land.
Sort og illegalt arbejde blomstrer på rengøringsområdet i Danmark. Ikke færre end 67 ud af 240 rengøringsfolk havde rod i papirerne ved SKATs kontrolaktioner i 2011. Således konstaterede skattemyndighederne fejl i 28 procent af sagerne, skriver Fagbladet 3F.
I en anden artikel skriver B.T., at politiet har nedsat en gruppe. Man vil problemet til livs. Så vi kan altså forvente 50.000 udvisninger lige om lidt? Ha! Fra en tredje artikel:
Personelfalsk i forbindelse med social dumping foregår ved, at en person med lovligt ophold og arbejdstilladelse i Danmark låner sine identitetspapirer ud til en person uden lovligt ophold. Vedkommende er på den måde i stand til at tage et arbejde og sågar betale skat i Danmark under falsk identitet. Til gengæld skal personen betale mellem 20-50% af sin løn til den der ejer identiteten.
Det Danmark, vi havde foretrukket at bo i, er her ikke mere. Vi skal ud af Europa, – det et er på tide at rejse. Nu. Det hele er forbi. Europas storhed og fald…

Germany Attempts to Silence Criticism of Islam
by Soeren Kern – January 12, 2012
German authorities have officially confirmed that they are monitoring German-language Internet websites that are critical of Muslim immigration and the Islamization of Europe.
According to Manfred Murck, director of the Hamburg branch of the German domestic intelligence agency, the Bundesamt für Verfassungsschutz (BfV), his organization is studying whether German citizens who criticize Muslims and Islam on the Internet are fomenting hate and are thus criminally guilty of “breaching” the German constitution.
Muslims Converting Empty European Churches into Mosques
by Soeren Kern – January 16, 2012
Muslims in Europe are increasingly converting empty Christian churches into mosques.
The proliferation of mosques housed in former churches reflects the rise of Islam as the fastest growing religion in post-Christian Europe.
There are now more practicing Muslims than practicing Christians in many parts of Europe, not only in large urban centers, but also in smaller towns and cities across the continent.
As Islam replaces Christianity as the dominant religion in Europe, more and more churches are set to become mosques, which increasingly serve not only as religious institutions but also function as the foundational political building blocks for the establishment of separate, parallel Muslim communities in Europe that are based on Islamic Sharia law.
One of the oldest universities in Germany has opened the country’s first taxpayer-funded department of Islamic theology.
The Center for Islamic Theology at the University of Tübingen was inaugurated on January 16 and is the first of four planned Islamic university centers in Germany.
The German government claims that by controlling the curriculum, the school, which is to train Muslim imams and Islamic religion teachers, will function as an antidote to “hate preachers.”

German Court Bans Muslim Prayers in Schools
by Soeren Kern – December 15, 2011
Germany’s top administrative court has ruled that a Muslim student is not entitled to perform prayers at his school because the act has the potential to create “very severe conflicts.”
Germany’s Federal Administrative Court found that although the right to pray at school is guaranteed by religious freedom under the constitution (Grundgesetz), students lose that right if a conflict is created in the process.
The court also ruled that schools are not obligated to accommodate Muslims by providing them with separate prayer rooms.

The Afghan girls who live as boys
By Tahir Qadiry – 27 March 2012
For economic and social reasons, many Afghan parents want to have a son. This preference has led to some of them practising the long-standing tradition of Bacha Posh – disguising girls as boys.
When Azita Rafhat, a former member of the Afghan parliament, gets her daughters ready for school, she dresses one of the girls differently.
Three of her daughters are clothed in white garments and their heads covered with white scarves, but a fourth girl, Mehrnoush, is dressed in a suit and tie. When they get outside, Mehrnoush is no longer a girl but a boy named Mehran.

Og så endda lidt til. Problemet er dels fætter-kusineægteskab og dels at både venstrefløj og højrefløj ikke forstår, at det vitterligt er her, problemet ligger. Der er tale om fysiske sygdomme, psykiske sygdomme, udviklingshæmmede og mere. Der er muligvis også flere fupmikler, men det er ikke der, hovedforklaringen skal findes. Berlingske Tidende skriver:
Siden 1990 er antallet af ikke-vestlige indvandrere og deres efterkommere på førtidspension næsten tidoblet fra 2.979 til 27.375 personer i 2010. Imens er det samlede antal af etniske danskere på førtidspension faldet fra 262.00 til 205.000.
En anden artikel fra samme avis:
Indvandrere på førtidspension er tidoblet
Antallet af etniske danskere på førtidspension er faldet de seneste 20 år, mens antallet af ikke-vestlige indvandrere næsten er tidoblet.
Af Chris Kjær Jessen – 26. marts 2012
Indvandrere fra ikke-vestlige lande fylder massivt i statistikkerne for førtidspensionister. 41 procent af de ikke-vestlige indvandrere mellem 55 og 59 år er således på førtidspension, mens samme tal for etniske danskere kun er på 13 procent, viser en analyse fra Rockwool Fondens Forskningsenhed, som bringes i Berlingske Politiko.

Saudi Grand Mufti Calls for “Destruction of All Churches in Region”
by Raymond Ibrahim – March 14, 2012
According to several Arabic news sources, last Monday, Sheikh Abdul Aziz bin Abdullah, the Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia, declared that it is “necessary to destroy all the churches of the region.”
The Grand Mufti made his assertion in response to a question posed by a delegation from Kuwait: a Kuwaiti parliament member recently called for the “removal” of churches (he later “clarified” by saying he merely meant that no churches should be built in Kuwait), and the delegation wanted to confirm Sharia’s position on churches.
Accordingly, the Grand Mufti “stressed that Kuwait was a part of the Arabian Peninsula, and therefore it is necessary to destroy all churches in it.”
Did you read about Sheik Abdul Aziz bin Abdullah, the Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia, and his call this month to “destroy all the churches of the region?”
You might think that’s big news – big enough to garner some attention from America’s leading media – especially because the Grand Mufti is among the Muslim world’s leading authorities. He is President of the Supreme Council of Ulema [Islamic scholars] and Chairman of the Standing Committee for Scientific Research and Issuing of Fatwas, according to the Middle East Forum’s Raymond Ibrahim.
Obama silent while Saudi grand mufti targets Christianity
March 16, 2012
If the pope called for the destruction of all the mosques in Europe, the uproar would be cataclysmic. Pundits would lambaste the church, the White House would rush out a statement of deep concern, and rioters in the Middle East would kill each other in their grief. But when the most influential leader in the Muslim world issues a fatwa to destroy Christian churches, the silence is deafening.
On March 12, Sheik Abdul Aziz bin Abdullah, the grand mufti of Saudi Arabia, declared that it is “necessary to destroy all the churches of the region.” The ruling came in response to a query from a Kuwaiti delegation over proposed legislation to prevent construction of churches in the emirate. The mufti based his decision on a story that on his deathbed, Muhammad declared, “There are not to be two religions in the [Arabian] Peninsula.” This passage has long been used to justify intolerance in the kingdom. Churches have always been banned in Saudi Arabia, and until recently Jews were not even allowed in the country. Those wishing to worship in the manner of their choosing must do so hidden away in private, and even then the morality police have been known to show up unexpectedly and halt proceedings.

Policy Issues and Opportunities for Intervention: Clare Lopez, Dr. Ashraf Ramelah, Juliana Taimoorazy, Keith Roderick, US Congressman Walsh
The Center for Security Policy welcomes you to Faith Under Fire. In Islamic countries, Christians and other reli-gious minorities are deprived of fundamental rights and sidelined from public life; they endure violent attacks against their churches and homes. In a year’s time, we have witnessed an escalation in the violence, bloody attacks, murder of Christians and the destruction of their churches and homes throughout the Middle East and Africa. Religious and eth-nic cleansing of indigenous Christian communities in Islamic countries is a reality in 2012. We are witnessing events which may precipitate a foreseeable genocide of these indigenous communities in the near future. Proactive engage-ment on these matters by citizens in the US and our Congress is crucial, as we must be a Voice for the Voiceless!

Time to Get Out of Afghanistan
March 19, 2012 – By Robert Spencer
The Afghan mission is imploding, and the Obama administration is covering for Islamic jihadists. Last week, Marine officials revealed that a Marine killed on February 1 in what the Pentagon called “combat operations” at the time was actually murdered by a jihadist in the Afghan army. The cover-up of this latest jihad attack from a supposed ally is emblematic of a failed mission. It is long past time to end the mission in Afghanistan.
Hamid Karzai has said that he wants Afghan forces to take control of the nation’s security in 2013, not 2014 as American officials are planning. Karzai is a scoundrel, but he is right about this, albeit for the wrong reasons. This mission is foredoomed. There is no clearly defined goal, and in any case, any goal worth reaching is impossible to achieve. There is no bringing democracy or humane values to a sharia state, and in any case, we already gave the Karzai regime a sharia constitution, so we aren’t really even trying to do anything effective for women or non-Muslims or the freedom of speech or the freedom of conscience. We’re fighting against an enemy that the vice president of the United States says is not an enemy, and that our client president of Afghanistan threatens to join. How long is this madness going to continue?
Egypt Designates Israel Its Top Enemy — Obama Restores Military Aid
by Robert Spencer on Mar 21st, 2012
Egypt’s parliament, which is dominated by two pro-Sharia Islamic supremacist groups, the Muslim Brotherhood and the Salafists, voted unanimously last Monday to expel Israel’s ambassador to Egypt, and signaled that the Camp David Accords would soon be a thing of the past: Egypt, the parliamentarians declared, would “never” be Israel’s ally. In fact, Israel was Egypt’s “number one enemy.” And how did Barack Obama respond to this egregious trampling upon the agreement that has kept an uneasy peace between Israel and Egypt for thirty years? By announcing a resumption of military aid to Egypt.
From the beginning of the “Arab Spring,” I said repeatedly that it was not a democracy movement, as the Western press was claiming, but an Islamic supremacist takeover that would result in the creation of Sharia states that would be far more hostile to the U.S. and Israel than the Arab nationalist regimes they were supplanting. This assessment was greeted with the usual scorn: the Islamic supremacist media machine charged “Islamophobia,” on Fox Juan Williams said I was “fearmongering,” and the usual suspects made the usual ad hominem attacks. Yet everything that has happened since then has shown that the “Arab Spring” is indeed an Islamic supremacist winter, ushering in repressive Sharia regimes with the enthusiastic blessing of Barack Obama.
They hate us because we’re pigs. No, not the apes and pigs into which Allah transforms the Sabbath-breaking Jews in the Qur’an (2:62-66; 5:59-60; 7:166), but pigs as in…dogs. Wolves. Immoral, lecherous, lustful, fornicating creeps. Western immorality is a frequent feature of the Islamic critique of the contemporary West, as well as a target for the morality police of Sharia states. In the summer of 2009 Iranian authorities even published a list of hairstyles that were acceptably moral and Islamic, as opposed to “decadent” Western imports, among which were the ponytail and the mullet.
That same Western decadence is also a frequent preoccupation of Islamic jihadists. In December 2010, a Muslim named Taimour Abdulwahab al-Abdaly set off explosives on a street in Stockholm that was crowded with Christmas shoppers, killing himself and injuring two others. His wife, who was herself later arrested for helping plan the attack, explained that Abdulwahab “disliked the decadent side of society here.”
Even some non-Muslim writers echo this critique. Dinesh D’Souza argued in his 2007 farrago The Enemy At Home that Islamic jihadists were largely motivated by rage at the West’s “social and moral corruption,” and asserted that “the Muslims who hate us the most are the ones who have encountered Western decadence, either in the West or in their own countries.”
Ærlig talt: den vestlige civilisation kan sagtens overleve, men ikke i Europa. Det løb er kørt. Hustruvold er tilladt efter shariaen og islamisk lov står ikke til at ændre. Der er masser af tæv i koranens islam. Kan man ikke acceptere tingenes tilstand, må man udvandre. Hvornår får vi nogle artikler om det?
‘Pull her by the ear, beat her by hand or stick’: How the Islamic guide to a happy marriage advises husbands to treat their wives
By Rick Dewsbury | 24 March 2012
An Islamic ‘marriage guide’ book has sparked outrage – by advising men on the best ways to beat their wives.
A Gift For Muslim Couple tells husbands that they should beat their wives with ‘hand or stick or pull her by the ears’.
But the book has faced a backlash from moderate Muslims who claim that it encourages domestic violence.

Irshad Manji, author of Allah, Liberty and Love and The Problem With Islam Today claims that moderate muslims are afraid of breaking out of religious orthodoxy and she explains why she’s calling for a reformation within Islam Powered by NewsLook.com Producer : Guardian
Irshad Manji is trying nothing less than to launch a revolution within Islamic society. We should do whatever we can to support her
I met Irshad Manji, the dynamic Muslim reformer, several years ago in Washington when she passed through in between her jaunts to Europe, Asia, and elsewhere to discuss, per the title of her first book, the “trouble” with Islam today and offer what she considers a more modern, more tolerant, more pluralistic interpretation of her faith.
More and more French Jews are buying homes in Israel amid fears of rising anti-Semitism in France. Many complain of being harrassed in public and feel the country is no longer a safe place to raise their children. In the wake of the Toulouse attacks, the wave of emigration is only likely to increase.
Many must have been reminded of the treatment of Jews under the Third Reich. Shortly after the attack on a Jewish school in the southern French city of Toulouse on Monday, school principals in the city walked into classrooms and asked the Jewish pupils to come forward. “We ask you to leave the class and join the other Jewish children, who are in a locked and safe location.”
In addition to denying, justifying and inciting jihadist violence, Western elites and authorities also engage in facilitating it.
The massacre of Jewish children at the Ozar Hatorah Jewish day school in Toulouse presents us with an appalling encapsulation of the depraved nature of our times – although at first glance, the opposite seems to be the case.
On the surface, the situation was cut and dry. A murderer drove up to a Jewish school and executed three children and a teacher.
Led by French President Nicolas Sarkozy, all of France decried the massacre and announced its solidarity with the French Jewish community. World leaders condemned the crime. The killer died in a standoff with French security forces. Justice was served. Case closed.

Slaughtering kids over a burqa ban
By Phyllis Chesler – March 23, 2012
In 2010, France became the first European country to ban the burqa.
The French law is religion-neutral; it refers only to generic “face coverings,” not to any particular religion. The French law imposed a fine of 150 euros ($190) and/or a citizenship course as punishment for wearing a face-covering veil. Forcing a woman to wear a niqab or a burqa became punishable by a year in prison or a 15,000 euro ($19,000) fine.
Immediately, al-Qaida threatened a terrorist action in France. Specifically, al-Qaida of the Islamic Maghreb (Algeria and Tunisia), warned of an imminent terrorist attack for daring to ban the burqa. Al-Qaida also threatened a Mumbai-like attack somewhere in Europe, most likely in France.

Brother of Suspected Jewish School Gunman Charged With Murder, Terrorism
March 25, 2012 by Madeleine Morgenstern
A Frenchman suspected of helping his brother plot attacks against Jewish schoolchildren and paratroopers was handed preliminary murder and terrorism charges Sunday.
But Abdelkader Merah denied any role in the attacks. Investigators looking into France’s worst terror attacks in years believe Merah helped his brother Mohamed prepare the killings, and are investigating whether they were linked to an international network of extremists or worked on their own.
The French police behaved well. I know that, down at the bar on the corner, there was a lot of talk about the RAID intervention group’s methods, the way the siege was drawn out, the brutality of the assault. And I know there are armchair investigators, prophets after the fact, and self-styled tracking experts about the region of Toulouse who are surprised that the future assassin wasn’t identified, even neutralized, before he went into action. Since France is a constitutional state and the possibility of committing a crime is not a misdemeanor, except in Philip Dick’s Minority Report, we shall not waste time on the second objection. As for the first, it leaves out the fact that the police did all they could, at the risk of their own lives, to spare the perpetrator of the slaughter and decided to fire only at mortal extremes because he left them no other choice. That is the reality. All the rest is just talk, or, sometimes, irresponsibility.

Eight days after the police shot dead the self-confessed killer of four Jews and three French paratroopers in southwestern France, elite units on Friday raided localities in several parts of the country and detained 17 people described as Islamic militants.
It is now known that the killer left the apartment at 1 a.m., two hours before the final assault, and walked 1 kilometer along the Avenue de la Gloire to a telephone booth where he called a journalist from the French/English/ Arabic TV channel, France 24.
The surveillance system put in place to cover Merah’s movements by the DCRI security agency (the Central Directorate of Interior Intelligence) totally failed, Le Parisien newspaper has now concluded, quoting an important agent from the agency: “The men in the surveillance position had fallen asleep, and because of that did not see Merah passing in front of them.”
Jerusalem, a mosaic of different peoples, faiths, and nationalities. Nevertheless, despite this diversity, under the sovereignty of Israel, Jerusalem is a city that works. But has it always been this way?
Et klart mønster tegner sig. Konservative medier får etiketten ‘højreorienteret’, hvorimod venstreorienterede får ‘uafhængig’, ‘velanset’ eller ‘troværdig’.
Faith McDonnell, the director of Religious Liberty at the Institute on Religion and Democracy sheds light on the seriousness in the genocide in Sudan’s Nuba Mountains and the fight between the North and South. McDonnell goes on to explain that this is an attempt by the government to force Islamization and Arabization. Why is the government forcing its people to give up their identity as Africans? How is the U.S. responding to this crisis in Sudan?
