• HT:DanielGreenfield.Why Europe Still Doesn’t Get Islam.Like an old car starting up on a cold winter’s day, European governments have been slowly waking up to the realization that all those jolly Islamic people might be a problem after all. Unfortunately they don’t understand the dimensions of the problem. To them the riots, the bombings and the murders are only part of a culture clash, with challenges no different than any other minority group. That is why they prefer to focus on schools and burqas, while ignoring the violence. The thinking is that this is still a cultural problem that can be corrected with 3 drops of educational indoctrination, and 6 drops of enforced integration for the natives whose discriminatory attitudes are just making things worse. The problem is that their model is wrong.One cannot ignore the inevitable for long, only become numbed to it. That is the cooked lobster effect. Some European countries have developed a little sensitivity to a grave problem, but that is not nearly enough. Respecting Ramadan and dispensing Halal will not resolve it. They only define the latest parameters of European submission to an invading civilization. This is not a war of practices, so much as of assumptions. Europe’s Muslims have come to assume that the future belongs to them. Europe’s governments assume that everything will work out with a little pandering. Both groups need to be forced to change their assumptions, before it’s too late.Read the full story here.Click here for comments.

• HT:TeaAndPolitics.Spain: Burqa'd 18-year-old Sumaya can't listen to music, her husband says.And of course, the burqa is not really bad, as it has holes to let the air in.. Anyway, I know why he doesn't wear a burqa: he is so ugly I doubt really any woman in her senses would look at him.In the comments' section, some commenters say that she always goes behind her husband and that if the latter stops to speak to someone, she just stops too, but at a distance, as if she thought she was meddling in other people's business, and never utters a word.Sigh.......... like a docile housebroken ...dog.Read the full story here.Click here for comments.

• Human rights group pushes for hate crimes legislation in Turkey.With hate crimes increasingly a problem in Turkey, civil society groups are working to highlight the issue in order to draft legislation that will both prevent more crimes and protect its victims.“Unfortunately, incidents of hate crime are on the rise. They vary from religious and ethnic intolerance to intolerance of differences related to disability and gender,” said Hakan Ataman, secretary-general of the Human Rights Agenda Association (HRAA) in Ankara.Mentioning the most publicized examples of such crimes, Ataman cites the killing of Father Andrea Santoro, a Catholic priest who was murdered in Trabzon in 2006; the assassination of Hrant Dink, a Turkish-Armenian journalist shot dead in front of his newspaper, the Agos weekly, in 2007; and the brutal killings of three missionaries in Malatya three months after Dink’s murder.The perpetrators of these crimes had traits in common: They were mostly under 18 and no older than 19, and they had ties to well-known ultranationalist groups.Later, a Catholic priest was stabbed in the stomach during a service at a Catholic church in İzmir. In other cities, police successfully prevented attempted murders.Hate crimes have not been widely studied in Turkey. One recent study in that regard is titled “Hate speech and hate crimes: Wounding words and acts,” completed by the Hrant Dink International Foundation, which organized a conference on the topic on April 9-11.The study, which looked into 24 newspapers with high circulation figures, found that the most targeted groups were Turkish citizens of Kurdish and Armenian ethnicity. Greeks, Christians in general and Jews were also often the subjects of news stories or columns that contained hate speech. The study considered bad language, defamation, insult, animosity, use of wartime discourse, exaggeration, ascription, distortion and stereotyping while examining the articles.Read the full story here.Click here for comments.

• West is being 'outspent, outmaneuvered and out-strategised by Islamic extremism, warns Blair.The former prime minister said that there had been a failure to challenge the 'narrative' that Islam was oppressed by the West which was fuelling extremism around the world.He said too many people accepted the extremists' analysis that the military actions taken by the West following the 9/11 attacks were directed at countries because they were Muslim and that it supported Israel because Israelis were Jews while Palestinians were Muslims.'We should wake up to the absurdity of our surprise at the prevalence of this extremism', he said.Moderate Muslims who believed in co-existence and tolerance were, he said, being undermined by the unwillingness of the West to take on the extremists' arguments.Read the full story here.Click here for comments.

• Obama siezes the Gulf of Mexico through Executive Order.Today, Obama issued an Executive Order to take over the restoration of the Gulf Coast in order “…to effectively address the damage caused by the BP Deep Horizon Oil Spill.Was I watching a different spill? The damage wasn’t caused only by the oil; much of the damage was caused by dumping and spraying the highly toxic poison, Corexit, which our government refused to stop. The poison killed millions of fish as well as dolphins, whales and crustaceans.Today's Executive Order was similar to Executive Order 13366 issued on July 19 to sieze the Great Lakes for a similar purpose, to... ‘restore biological diversity…improve health of oceans, coastal and Great Lakes ecosystems and to support sustainable access to land.” The Great Lakes is overseen by the appointed Great Lakes Czar Cameron Davis, a former Chicago environmentalist.Protection of residents in both Executive Orders seems to be lacking.Both are considered to be serious violations of property rights.The Federal Government currently owns more than 30% of United States land and seems to be planning to take more. Military veteran and Blogger, Dave, of “Be A Patriot” points out that this power grab, masquerading as a feel-good, all-American recreation program, comes on top of a separate, property-stealing plan exposed by Rep. Robert Bishop (R-UT) and Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC) earlier this spring.All of these takeovers are part of the bigger picture...the United Nations/Obama plan to control all waterways, effectively, stealing land from Americans. It's called Agenda 21, and it's being implemented before our eyes.Can the Cheseapeake Bay,who Cazar is Chuck Fox, be the next land grab?Read the full story here.Click here for comments.

• Turkey looks into claims over former F-16 pilot in al-Qaeda camp.Turkish officials said on Tuesday that they have been investigating news reports suggesting that a former member of the Turkish military was among extremists operating in Pakistan.“A senior official of Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence agency [ISI] told The Associated Press that there are believed to be ‘several dozen’ people with European citizenship -- many of Pakistani origin -- among the Islamic extremists operating in the lawless border area.

• Trucks Encircle ABC, CBS, NBC, Challenge ‘Liberal’ Media to ‘Tell The Truth’.Four billboard trucks bearing the message “Stop the Liberal Bias, Tell the Truth!” began circling the Manhattan headquarters of ABC, CBS, NBC, and the New York Times on Friday. The trucks will do so for eight hours every weekday for the next four weeks as part of a campaign run by the Media Research Center, a watchdog group that analyzes the media for liberal bias.Similar trucks also are operating in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, passing the offices of the broadcast networks, the Washington Post, CNN, the Newseum, the National Press Club and Politico, and ads about the campaign are running on numerous Web sites and on conservative talk radio programs.This “Tell The Truth!” campaign, he said, is, in the long run about his children and grandchildren. “It’s about generations to come,” said Bozell. “We’ve always been a nation where we left the next generation in slightly better hands than they were a generation before – and that’s not happening now.”“We stand to be the generation that will be asked by future generations, ‘Why didn’t you stop it?’” he said. “I want to be the generation that says, ‘We returned America to her greatness. There were those who wanted to destroy this country and there were some of us who said no.’ That’s what I want.”Read the full story here.Click here for comments.
