Latest fatwa from Iran: No online chatting between sexes

Holy Khamenei Batman! 

Via Fox News

The latest religious edict from Iran's supreme leader takes aim at the Islamic Republic's lonely hearts.

Online chatting between men and women on social networks is forbidden under Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's latest fatwa, delivered ironically enough on his website in answer to a question sent by email. The top mullah's reasoning is that such contact could eventually lead to activities prohibited by Islam.

“Given the immorality that often applies to this, it is not permitted,” Khamenei wrote.

Islamic communitarianism is rampant in France

“We do not want to assimilate. Assimilation is cultural rape.”

– Dyab Abou Jahjah Arab European League founder.

 

“You are in a situation in which you have to live like a state within a state, until you take over. But until this happens, you have to preach, until you become such a force that the people they just submit to you, hands up, until you become strong enough to take over.”

- Dr. Ijaz Mian, Undercover Mosque

The progressive left (Labor/Greens) have consistently misrepresented multiculturalism as the model for Australia’s future. Instead, Islamic communitarianism will become rampant as parallel societies will grow and distance themselves from each other.

Via Gatestone Institute

A panel appointed by French Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault to review France's integration policies has urged the government to implement a "new form of secularism" that would raise the profile of Islam in public life—in order to improve the integration of Muslim immigrants.

Among a long list of recommendations aimed at "recognizing the richness of multiple identities," the panel says that public schools in France should begin allowing Muslim pupils to wear headscarves in class (clothing that has been outlawed since 2004), and that courses should be taught in Arabic and African languages rather than in French.

The panel also recommends a number of other multicultural changes that would provide greater recognition to the "Arab-oriental dimension" of France's national identity. These include changing street and place names, overhauling the history curriculum taught in schools and creating a special day to honor the contribution of immigrant cultures.

More notably, the panel says that authorities and the media should be prohibited from referring to people's nationality, religion or ethnicity in public, and that the government should create a new law that would make "racial harassment" a punishable offense.

The controversial recommendations are contained in a series of five documents that were discretely posted on the prime minister's official website in November, but only came to public attention on December 12, after an exposé by the French daily newspaper, Le Figaro.

Au Revoir France…

Essay - Where Islamism Spreads...Freedom Dies

*** Below is an update to the essay I included at the end of Australia Day. ***

Australians are begging Federal Parliament, State Parliaments, local councillors – anyone who will listen – to simply enforce our laws. But they’re not listening. In fact, it seems like the only people who are being heard are the politically left activists who viciously attack anyone who dares suggest that Islam is a problem.

(Islamism runs counter to every single progressive left ideology, but because the right doesn’t like Islamism, progressives continue to make excuses for it.)

I’m not anti-Islam, I’m anti-Islamist and there’s a huge distinction. I don’t care whether my neighbour claimed there were thirty gods or no God, as long as the neighbour neither picked my pocket nor broke my arm. Islamism, though, picks pockets and breaks arms and that’s why we must find a way to stop it.

As part of my research for my third fiction novel – Australia Day - I read the English version of the Quran and I can tell you that the overwhelming majority of most Muslims are good, peace-loving people.

The underlying problem with radical Islam is that it is both political and religious. It teaches that the two cannot be separated. The Islamists believe that man-made laws are inferior and must be replaced with “God-given” Islamic or sharia law and that all governments worldwide should be Islamic.

Coupled with the mandate that violence be wreaked upon all unbelievers until they capitulate to Islam’s yoke, radical Islam is anathema to individual liberty everywhere.

There is no doubt that there is an active campaign by Muslim radicals to destroy Western civilization from within – quietly, peacefully, even legally. They are working to destabilise Australia and ultimately replace the Australian Constitution with Islam sharia law. And this should bother every Australian.

Pakistan sentences man to death for drawing pictures of Mohammed

Islam's latest contributions to Peace and Freedom of Expression.

Via The Express Tribune

…Judge Chaudhry Zafar Iqbal on Friday awarded death sentence to a man he found guilty of blasphemy.

According to the prosecution, Imam Ali, 63, a resident of Haroonabad, was found drawing pictures of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) on the walls of his room. Police said Ali had been a devotee of Habib Abdullah Shah and the caretaker of his shrine in Bahawalnagar. He was arrested in 2011. Qari Muhammad Ahmed, 27, the complainant, said, “I found the drawings in his room.” Saddar police registered a case against Ali in March 2011. A nephew of Ali’s said that several lawyers had refused to take up the defence case fearing a backlash.

Just like that, some douche makes a "Blasphemy" compliant and bingo, you’re sentenced to death.

And the progressive left continue to make apologies for a “religion” still rooted in the thirteenth century.

Muslim Sharia believers to march against the sale of Alcohol in London’s East End

Every drink you take is another one way trip to hellfire…or so say the Islamists.

Via IB Times

The Shariah Project, a London-based Muslim group, is to march through Brick Lane on Friday against the drinking and sale of alcohol along the nightlife spot.

Members of the group believe the consumption or selling of alcohol to be "sinful" under Islamic law and should be "strictly prohibited".

They hope that the rally, scheduled for the afternoon following Friday prayers, will illuminate the ills of alcohol.

Spokesman for the group Abu Rumaysah told the East London Avertiser: "There's a lot of problems in the area like anti-social behaviour caused by drinking and a lot of the Muslims are involved in selling alcohol in their shops."

He added: "The one who is not a Muslim is already going to hellfire. The one who drinks or sells alcohol God can forgive if he mends his ways."

Rumaysah added that hate preacher Anjem Choudary is one of its "mentors".

Multitribalism meets “multiculturalism” - where their multitribalism wants to wipe out our culture.

And don’t think for a second Islamists living here aren’t pushing for their own Sharia Controlled Zones…

Update:

The UK’s Daily Mail covers the small but confronting pro-sharia protest.

Britain to classify “Islamist Extremism” as a dissimilar ideology to Islam

And the difference is razor thin at best…

Via Reuters

Britain plans to classify "Islamist extremism" as a distinct ideology, British Prime Minister David Cameron said on Tuesday, as part the government's response to the murder of a soldier on a busy London street.

Cameron said he would implement recommendations he had received from a task force he set up after the murder of Lee Rigby in May, to try to stop people being radicalised by "hate preachers".

…"Islamist extremism" would, for the first time, be classified as a distinct ideology to guard against it being confused with traditional religious practice, he said.

Cameron wants to tackle violent ideologies that claim Islamic justification but by doing so in a way that does not alienate Britain's 2.7 million Muslims.

The fact is that when Islam checks in, a lot of folks wind up checking out... permanently.

Sharia law coming to a swimming pool near you

It has been VCAT policy in Dandenong since Sept 2010

Via Allen West

…Thanks to the website, “Creeping Sharia” we have a another stealthy example. It seems that in Minnesota — St. Paul to be exact — the YMCA and St. Paul Police are accommodating the burgeoning Somali Muslim community.

There have been previous reports from the Minneapolis/ St Paul area regarding Muslim taxi drivers who refused fares to individuals with dogs or carrying alcoholic beverages from the airport. I also recall an instance where a Muslim cashier worker at a Target store refused to touch pork products for scanning and bagging.

Now, as written in the Star Tribune by Nicole Norfleet, the YMCA and police have started a swim group for young Somali girls ages 5-17. The issue is that special considerations are being made to address modesty concerns so that the Muslim girls can swim and not reveal too much of themselves.

According to the report, during the hourlong swim practice, all other swimmers are cleared out of the pool. The men’s locker room is locked and female life guards are brought in. “I think this is just a great opportunity for them to learn basic skills that we take for granted,” said Sgt. Jennifer O’Donnell, who has worked with the Somali community regularly during her time with the department.

I would have thought that teaching the basic skills of liberty and freedom for all people would be a better lesson. Should we not instead be teaching these young girls that America is a land of equality of opportunity and they need not be castigated as a second class citizen?

Why is it that America must accept this cultural norm and the Somali community not accept ours? “We have to have privacy,” said Ubah Ali, who is the mother of 12 year old Rayan Dhamuke. During the past summer, the little girl had to visit the pool at 5 a.m. so that she would have the privacy she needed to enjoy the water while still adhering to her family’s cultural and religious beliefs.

This is how it subtly begins, the emotional tug to allow the young girl “privacy” to swim. Hani Hussein, who volunteers at the Al-Ihsan Islamic Center in St. Paul, said she looked into reserving public pools for girls, but it was too expensive.

You can only imagine the outcry from the ACLU and atheist organizations if a Christian group were advocating for “private” swim time. I thought our country struck down the concept of “separate but equal?”

Why would Somalis come to America if they wanted to maintain their discriminatory cultural and religious beliefs? And where is Sandra Fluke to decry this as a “War on Women?”

I know, the usual detractors will call me and others “Islamophobic” but no label will deter our efforts to tell the truth.

Morgan Poll: 96.5% of Australian’s disagree that Christmas, Easter & ANZAC Day should no longer be celebrated

Guaranteed to be dismissed by the left as Islamophobia.

Via Sheik Yer Mami

According to a recent Morgan poll (October 2013) conducted on behalf of Q Society of Australia Inc., the majority of Australians are clearly concerned about Islam and 70% believe Australia is not a better place because of Islam. The survey, completed in late October, found a majority (53 per cent) of Australians want full face coverings banned from public spaces and 50.2 per cent want Islamic sharia law banned all together.

Australians over 65 are most concerned with 59 per cent in this age group stating that a growing Islamic population and Islamic immigration would be bad for Australia. Mature Australians and Liberal/National voters have a significantly negative view of Islam. Notably only 15 per cent of Australians think Islam and terrorism are not related. Multicultural advocates seeking to cancel Christmas, Easter or ANZAC Day celebrations in their quest to not offend other cultures should take note that 96.5 per cent of the population disagree.

The omnibus poll conducted by Roy Morgan Research Ltd has an error margin of 4 per cent.

In Summary:

• 38 percent: a growing Islamic population and Islamic immigration are bad for Australia

• 44 percent: strong, clear link between Islam and terrorism

• 50 per cent want the Shari’a banned

• 53 percent: ban the burqa from public spaces

• 57 percent: Concerned about Islam in the world today

• 70 percent: Australia is not becoming a better place because of Islam
