Iran: US “blatantly” violating nuke deal, “will be harmed”

And Iran’s lobby in the U.S. is outraged at the prospect of more inspections. Why? What does Iran have to hide?

“Iran: U.S. Violating Nuclear Deal,” by Adam Kredo, Washington Free Beacon, August 1, 2017:

Senior Iranian officials are accusing the United States of violating the landmark nuclear accord and promising to take punitive measures against America for this action, according to recent comments that come on the heels of renewed efforts by the Trump administration and Congress to sanction Tehran for its ballistic missile program and regional support for terrorism.

Ali Larijani, speaker of Iran’s parliament, lashed out Tuesday at the Trump administration and accused it of “blatantly” violating statutes in the nuclear agreement that obligate the United States to promote international trade with Iran and refrain from issuing new sanctions.

Larijana promised that Iran would “act decisively” to retaliate against the United States with its own package of sanctions and other measures, according to comments by the senior leader. Iranian President Hassan Rouhani threatened that American “will be harmed” by its recent moves….

A State Department official, speaking only on background, told the Washington Free Beacon that the comments by Iran’s leaders will not deter the Trump administration from continuing to sanction Tehran.

The U.S. government intends to continue to target Iran’s malign activity that is outside the scope of the nuclear deal, the officials said, referring to U.S. action against Tehran that is viewed as not directly violating the agreement. “We have been clear all along that there would continue to be sanctions on non-nuclear areas,” the officials said.

Iranian leaders continued to bash the United States on Tuesday, following the recent round of sanctions imposed by the Trump administration and Congress.

Rouhani issued a warning to the United States as the Iranian parliament considered emergency measures to retaliate against the United States.

“The Americans should know that they will be harmed more by such moves, as such acts will isolate them in the world,” Rouhani was quoted as saying.

Larijani, speaker of Iran’s parliament also accused the United States of violating the deal.

“Given the evidence, in our view in the nuclear committee (which supervises implementation of the nuclear deal) the Americans have blatantly violated the nuclear deal,” Larijani was quoted as telling reporters Tuesday in Tehran.

“Mr. Trump advised other countries not to invest in Iran; such remarks are against the nuclear deal and such an atmosphere shouldn’t be created based on the agreement,” Lirijani was quoted as saying. “Iran should act decisively and wisely to prevent the Americans from attaining their goals.”

Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif, who negotiated the nuclear deal, also accused the Trump administration of violating the agreement and vowed that Iran would continue its work on ballistic missile technology, which it claims does not violate international accords baring such activity.

The U.S. State Department, however, disagrees with this characterization and accused Iran of being in breach of United Nations resolutions that call on Iran to refrain from testing and constructing ballistic missiles.

Iran—which conducted a major space launch last week—has been steadfast about its commitment to pursuing advanced missile technology, an issue that has emerged as a flashpoint between Tehran and the United States in recent months.

“Iran, unlike the U.S., has complied in good faith with the letter and spirit of the JCPOA, while U.S. rhetoric and measures indicated its bad faith,” Zarif was quoted as saying this week….

Stealth Invasion: Muslim Conquest through Immigration and Resettlement Jihad

Send us an example of creeping sharia or Muslim refugee issues in your town that we haven’t covered previously and win a free copy of the book Stealth Invasion. Use the Contact page above to submit your information and links to any info.

Source: WND Books Stealth Invasion

As veteran investigative journalist Leo Hohmann documents in Stealth Invasion: Muslim Conquest through Immigration and Resettlement Jihad, an international network of mostly Muslim Brotherhood-linked activists has been building its ranks within the United States for more than three decades, aided by a U.S. immigration system seemingly obsessed with welcoming as many unassimilable migrants with anti-Western values as possible. As a result, largely secret plans for major population changes in hundreds of U.S. cities and towns are already being implemented.

This transformation is taking place not only in gateway cities like New York, Chicago and Los Angeles, but in such all-American towns as Twin Falls, Idaho, and St. Cloud, Minnesota, where tensions brought on by the importation of hostile cultures are already causing shock waves.

As Stealth Invasion reveals, the Muslim Brotherhood has a well-defined strategy for conquering America, not necessarily with violent jihadist attacks – although we should expect those to increase – but through more subtle means collectively called “civilization jihad.”

According to the Brotherhood’s own documents seized by the FBI, “civilization jihad” involves infiltrating and conquering Western democracies from within. The goal is to partner with leftist and anarchist groups (such as “Black Lives Matter”) to tear at the fabric of Western civilization and the Judeo-Christian values that undergird it. Their intent is to use liberal immigration laws to create “settlements” for Islam in America, which in turn become enclaves of non-assimilated Muslims who can easily become “radicalized” by a preacher at a local mosque, or by watching a Youtube video posted by an imam in Pakistan.

Very simply, civilization jihad calls for changing a nation by changing its people and its values – gradually, over time.

Meanwhile, the world is undergoing a historic shift of populations – out of the Middle East and Africa, and into Europe, Canada and the United States. The fact that the majority of those coming to America as part of this new immigration wave bring a hostile value system based on sharia law, and have little interest in assimilating into American culture, seems of no concern to our leaders in the White House and Congress.

Indeed, refugee resettlement and expanded visa programs have enjoyed the full support of both major parties. Instead of learning the lessons of 9/11 and tightening up America’s immigration system, our leaders have expanded it wildly and recklessly.

Stealth Invasion connects the dots between the problems of growing violence and unrest that have plagued Europe and what is now unfolding across America. The terror attacks on Chattanooga, Orlando, San Bernardino, St. Cloud, Minnesota, and the Chelsea area of Manhattan were all carried out by Muslim immigrants, or, in the case of San Bernardino and Orlando, by sons of Muslim immigrants. A surprising number of foiled attacks have also been plotted since 9/11 by Muslim refugees and immigrants.

Stealth Invasion blows the lid off a corrupt, fraudulent program that has been secretly dumping Third World refugees, many of them radical, on American cities for three decades. Readers will meet the people and groups behind this shadowy resettlement network, which starts at the United Nations and includes the White House, the U.S. State Department, some surprising church groups, and corporate honchos involved in everything from investment banking and meatpacking, to Florida vacations and yogurt manufacturing.

Americans have been kept largely in the dark about the radical plans to permanently transform their nation. Until now.

In Stealth Invasion, Leo Hohmann reveals how Congress has turned a blind eye to the program since President Jimmy Carter signed into law the Refugee Act of 1980, allowing the United Nations – not American officials – to select the refugees sent to our cities. As a result, those selected are increasingly coming from hotbeds of Sunni radicalism like Syria, Iraq, and Somalia while a growing population of persecuted Christians are left behind.

The government uses a network of private agencies, most with churchy names tied to Lutherans, Catholics, Episcopalians, Jews and even evangelicals, to do the resettlement work, but the public is shut out of the process from beginning to end. No public hearings, no public notices in the local newspaper asking for their input.

Stealth Invasion uncovers how various cities have become refugee hot spots and examines grassroots uprisings where citizens have challenged this secret cabal and won. Armed with knowledge of the government’s methods for dealing with local resettlement backlash, Hohmann provides details on how concerned Americans can most effectively respond.

The great “melting pot” that once typified the success of America’s immigration system no longer seems to be working. The old shared values of God, country, family, and freedom that used to hold the country together are breaking down.

In Stealth Invasion, Leo Hohmann shows that the breakdown is no coincidence and it hasn’t manifested overnight. It’s been brewing since the 1980s, but is now reaching the point where it is about to metastasize and overtake us all – unless it is stopped now.

Virginia: School lesson – ‘create poster about 5 Pillars of Islam to be displayed in classroom around the school’

More detail on the Dept of Education’s Islamic indoctrination program for public schools video we posted earlier this year. It’s not clear which schools in Virginia are assigning this to students, but it has more than 130,000 views already. That’s just one page in Virginia. It’s in your state too.

The lesson detail and requirements are disturbing to say the least.

Source: Access Islam? | We The Vigilant – Barry Secrest

It’s called “Access Islam” and it’s being pushed as an educational religious indoctrination program for millions of children in public schools across America.

Access Islam has been a growing effort, among the progressive left and the US government, to introduce the cult of Islam to millions upon millions of unsuspecting parents and school children, many of whom are not allowed to share their given Christian faith, in any form, while on public school grounds.

The initial phase of the instruction (or indoctrination) involves one of the most basic tenets of Muslimism, that being the five pillars of Islam.

According to the  Access Islam syllabus, “students explore and understand the basic beliefs of Islam as well as the Five Pillars that guide Muslims in their daily life” as follows:


The Five Pillars of Islam

Objectives

  • Describe the basic beliefs of Islam;
  • Explain the meaning of each of the Five Pillars of Islam;
  • Compare and contrast the Five Pillars of Islam with the duties of other religions with which they are familiar.

Grade Level:

5-12

Suggested Time

Three to four 45-minute class sessions

Part I: Introductory Activity

The Basic Beliefs and Practices of Islam

  1. Explain to your students that they will be learning about some of the basic beliefs and practices of Islam, the religion followed by Muslims. Ask students to begin by brainstorming a list of things that they know about Islam. Have students record their thoughts about Islam privately, without discussing the responses as a class. Ask students to hold on to their responses (or you may collect them). Explain to them that throughout the course of the next activity they will learn more about the basic beliefs and practices of Islam, and that after they complete the activity they will have time to review and revise their responses.
  2. Explain to students that in this lesson they are going to learn about the basic beliefs of Islam and focus on learning about the core duties of Muslims, the Five Pillars. Divide the class into pairs and direct students to the Muslims Teachers Guide FRONTLINE PBS website. Provide them with a focus for media interaction, instructing them to read the sections: “Beliefs of Muslims” and “Major Practices/Duties of Muslims” and record, on their Student Response Sheet 1: The Five Pillars of Islam, the six major beliefs and the name of each of the Five Pillars and a description of that pillar. After students have recorded this information, review the major beliefs and the Five Pillars as a whole class, addressing any questions, such as vocabulary and definitions, during the discussion. Record a list of the Five Pillars on the board during the class discussion so students have a clear visual reference to all of the pillars throughout the rest of the lesson.

Part II: Learning Activity #1

Shahadah

  1. Explain to students that you will be looking at each pillar in detail beginning with the first pillar, which is Shahadah or belief. To begin, go to the BBC website www.bbc.co.uk/religion/religions/islam/customs/shahadah/index.shtml. Have students read about what it means to proclaim faith or belief as a Muslim. Have students, individually, silently read the Shahadah. Ask the students to think about what the Shahadah means. Why do they think that this statement is a significant part of being a Muslim? Record their thoughts on their Student Response Sheet 2: The Five Pillars of Islam handout, and discuss these questions as a class.
    How is this statement of belief similar to other religions? How is it different? Some examples are the Shema Israel and the Thirteen Articles of Faith in Judaism or the Nicene Creed in Christianity.

Part III: Learning Activity #2

Salat

  1. Next, students will look more closely at the second pillar, which is Salat or prayer. Have students watch the Muslim Prayer video as well as read the information from the BBC at www.bbc.co.uk/religion/religions/islam/customs/salat/index.shtml and www.bbc.co.uk/religion/religions/islam/worship/index.shtml and watch the two streaming video segments about prayer preparation and the set of movements for prayer. Provide them with a focus for media interaction, instructing students to view the segments and record answers to the following questions on their Student Response Sheet 2: The Five Pillars of Islam.
    • Describe the process that Muslims go through to prepare to pray.
    • Describe the process of praying in Islam. How many times each day, and when, do Muslims pray?
    • What do the prayers sound like?
    • What do the movements look like?
    • In which direction do Muslims pray?
    • Why do they face this way?
    • What are some of the things Muslims say during prayer?
    • Why do Muslims pray?
    • How is prayer in Islam similar to prayer in other religions?
    • How is it different?
    • Why is prayer important in Islam

Part IV: Learning Activity #3

Zakaat

  1. Next, students will examine the third pillar, which is Zakaat or almsgiving. Have students watch the Zakaat video and read the information about Zakaat at www.bbc.co.uk/religion/religions/islam/customs/zakat/index.shtml. Provide them with a focus for media interaction, instructing students to view the video segment and record answers to the following questions on their Student Response Sheet 2: The Five Pillars of Islam:
    • What is Zakaat?
    • What is emphasized in Zakaat?
    • Why do Muslims make donations?
    • How much money is a person expected to give to charitable causes?
    • What is the relationship between prayer and money?
    • How is zakaat different from ordinary charity that Muslims might give?
  2. After students have viewed the segment and the website, discuss what they have learned about Zakaat. What other religions ask believers to donate money? How is this similar to other religions? How is this different.

Part V: Learning Activity #4

Sawm

  1. Next, students will examine the fourth pillar, which is fasting or Sawm. Have students watch the Ramadan is Here video and read the information at www.bbc.co.uk/religion/religions/islam/customs/sawm/index.shtml. Provide them with a focus for media interaction, instructing students to view the video segment and record answers to the following questions on their Student Response Sheet 2: The Five Pillars of Islam:
    • Why is Ramadan described as “expecting a month long guest?”
    • Explain the guidelines for fasting during Ramadan. When is eating allowed? At what age does a Muslim begin fasting? Does fasting only occur during Ramadan? Are there other rules?
    • Describe some of the challenges one might encounter when fasting during Ramadan. Describe some of the benefits.
  2. After students have viewed the segment and read the information on the website, discuss what they have learned about Sawm. How does fasting from eating and other activities affect people’s spiritual state of mind? What other religions include fasting? How is Sawm similar to fasting in other religions? How is it different?

Part VI: Learning Activity #5

Hajj

  1. Finally, students will examine the fifth pillar, which is pilgrimage or Hajj. Have students view The Hajj: Islamic Sacred Pilgimage video from WGBH. Provide them with a focus for media interaction, instructing students to view the segment and record answers to the following questions on their Student Response Sheet 2: The Five Pillars of Islam:
    • What is the goal or focus of the Hajj?
    • What is the purpose of the special garments that the pilgrims wear?
    • How do these American Muslims react to the Hajj? In what ways is it a meaningful experience for them? What unanticipated responses did they have during their journey to Arabia?

    2. After students have viewed the segments and recorded information, discuss this questions with the class. What do they think it is like to be a pilgrim in Mecca? Why do they think Hajj is one of the Five Pillars? What other religions incorporate the idea of pilgrimage?

Part VII: Culminating Activity

  1. After students have looked more closely at each of the Five Pillars, divide them into pairs. Instruct each pair to create a poster about the Five Pillars to be displayed in the classroom and around the school to help educate their schoolmates about Islam. Drawing on the information they gathered and recorded on their Student Response Sheet as a resource, each poster must include: a listing of the Five Pillars, a description of each of the practices and how people fulfill these obligations, and illustrations or images that relate to each of the pillars. (For the illustrations and images, it may be helpful for students to view the segments and Web sites again, looking specifically for prevalent visual images and symbols, if they do not remember what they have seen previously. They can also look at the sites below for imagery.) Have students share their completed posters with the class, discussing the information and images used on the posters. To visually enhance their poster, students can use PBS LearningMedia to search for images of Islamic Art. Alternatively, students may wish to create a PowerPoint presentation, infographic, or video.
  2. Ask students to take out the list they brainstormed in the introductory activity. Ask them to review and revise the list based on what they’ve learned in this lesson. How have their conceptions of Islam changed?

Community Connections

If possible, have your students meet with Muslims in your community to learn about their religious practices and views. Interview Muslims who have participated in Hajj, and talk to Muslims during the month of Ramadan to learn about fasting and almsgiving. Contact religious leaders or scholars to learn more about prayer and belief. Be sure to clarify the difference between teaching religion and teaching about religion in the classroom for any presenters.



This is not an overview of one religion, this is pure Islamic indoctrination that would be taught to someone that is about to become a Muslim. Paid for with American tax dollars via the Dept. of Education and PBS. The same stealth jihadists whose Lesson Plan Teaches Kids to Sympathize with Muslim Suicide Bombers.

UK: Muslim from pro-Sharia, pro-caliphate group gives keynote speech at Universities UK HQ

No gesture of appeasement of Islamic supremacists is beneath the dignity of the British authorities. They reserve all their fury for foes of jihad terror.

“Fury as radical Islamist gives headline speech at university campaign group HQ,” by Sofia Petkar, Express, July 31, 2017:

A RADICAL Islamist group facing a government ban has sparked outrage across the country after a senior member gave a keynote speech at the headquarters of Universities UK.

The Hizb ut-Tahrir is a Salafi movement blacklisted across parts of Europe and much of the Middle East for its public support of a caliphate and the introduction of Sharia law throughout the Islamic world.

Described in Government reports as anti-semitic, homophobic and anti-Western, the group has hit the headlines multiple times, most recently for encouraging British Muslims not to vote in the General Election, and praising the concept of jihad.

Hizb ut-Tahrir, meaning “Party of Liberation,” was founded by Palestinian Taqiuddin al-Nabhani al-Filastyni in 1953, with chapters operating in more than 40 countries, and has been described as a “conveyer belt for terrorists”.

The movement has incited fury once again, after its national executive Jamal Harwood addressed delegates at the Great Debate event, held at the Woburn House Conference Centre earlier this year.

The centre is owned by advocacy organisation Universities UK (UUK), which represents the higher education sector across the country.

Hizb ut-Tahrir is one of the organisations “no platformed” by the National Union of Students, with a number of universities cancelling events when learning speakers from this organisation are on the line-up.

Introduced in 1974, the NUS’ “No Platform” policy prevents individuals or groups known to hold racist or fascist views from speaking at NUS events.

It also ensures NUS officers will not share a public platform with individuals or groups known to hold racist or fascist views.

The union has only six organisations listed under this policy at present – Al-Muhajiroun, British National Party, English Defence League, Hizb ut-Tahrir, Muslim Public Affairs Committee and National Action.

It has emerged Mr Harwood spoke as part of a panel titled “Is the Caliphate a viable alternative for the Middle East?” alongside a professor from SOAS University of London, at the event held in April….

Denmark: Rapes Soared 196 PERCENT Since Liberal Government Took Power, Invited Refugees

Shakespeare’s Hamlet would agree: Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.

Since the self-proclaimed Conservative party Venstre (meaning “Left”) with their slogan “Denmark’s Liberal party” took power in June 2015, the number of rapes reported to the police has soared by a shocking 196 percent, according to the Danish state’s bureau of statistics.

This rise in rape attacks coincides with the liberal government’s opening of Danish national borders to refugees that primarily are from Islamic countries.

Also read: Sweden’s Islamic Rape Epidemic: Almost Half of Victims are CHILDREN

In Denmark, there are no official statistics on the rapists’ ethnicity or nationalities, but according to a report from the Danish Ministry of Justice, “There is a clear overrepresentation of immigrants from non-western countries when looking at the statistics of convicted rapists.”

UK: Arrest in case of 2003 Muslim rape gang victim believed ground up, put in kebab meat

Police in the UK have now made an arrest from a case in 2003 in which a Muslim rape gang victim “was believed ground up and sold as kebab meat.” When will Westerners accept that there is indeed a clash of civilizations that now threatens our freedom and principles of human rights for all?

The Muslim rape-gang brutalization of up to a million girls that was covered up by UK authorities for fear of charges of “racism” was bad enough. The assaults continue from these Muslim rape gangs that the British media calls “Asian”:

Muslim grooming gangs also continue to plague the North of England, according to recent reports, in which police allege that the Yorkshire town of Keighley may be home to a new grooming scandal involving over 179 individual sex crimes.

Now comes word:

Police in Blackpool say they have arrested a 51-year-old man in connection with the 14-year-old murder case of reported child grooming gang victim Charlene Downes whose body was believed to have been chopped up and put into kebab meat.

How many more assaults are innocent people in Western countries to endure at the hands of Islamic supremacists and jihadists before authorities do their jobs and protect their countries from further incursion by means of their lax immigration policies, which permit the large-scale introduction of anti-democratic ideologies, as well as full-on jihad assaults and crimes?

The Islamic State, meanwhile, has also been teaching its jihadis to eat non-Muslims, and it was preached to youths at the foremost Islamic institution, Cairo’s Al Azhar that they could kill and eat people who left Islam.

“Police Make Arrest in 2003 Case of Grooming Gang Victim Believed Ground Up and Sold as Kebab Meat”, by Chris Tomlinson, Breitbart, August 2, 2017:

Police in Blackpool say they have arrested a 51-year-old man in connection with the 14-year-old murder case of reported child grooming gang victim Charlene Downes whose body was believed to have been chopped up and put into kebab meat.

Charlene Downes, 14 at the time of her disappearance, was last seen in Blackpool in 2003 and is believed to have been not only murdered but that her killers disposed of her body by putting it into kebab meat at a local seaside kebab shop.

Police have said they believe Charlene may have been linked to grooming gangs in Blackpool and say that they discovered at least 60 underage girls had been sexually groomed at “honey pot” takeaways in the city. The Daily Telegraph reported in 2011 that these children had been targeted with food, drugs, and alcohol in return for sex in the city.

Fourteen years later, authorities now say they have arrested a 51-year-old man in connection with her disappearance only after Charlene’s parents were able to force police to examine CCTV footage that had been in storage for 12 years, the Daily Mail reports.

A spokesman for Lancashire Police released a statement after the arrest saying: “The man, aged 51, who lived in Blackpool at the time of Charlene’s disappearance, is currently in custody. Charlene was just 14 years old when she was last seen in Blackpool on Saturday, November 1, 2003. A £100,000 reward remains on offer for information leading to the conviction of her killer or killers.”

Charlene’s mother expressed outrage that the CCTV footage had been kept hidden for over a decade saying: “It is unbelievable that they have had that footage all those years and never used it. It is an absolute disgrace and an insult to the memory of my dead daughter.”

She added that if the footage were available sooner than the 2007 murder trial, which, due to police error, led to the acquittal of Funny Boyz kebab worker Ilyad Albattikh for murder and Mohammed Reveshi for disposal of Charlene’s body, may have turned out differently.

At the time of the trial, the court was told the fast food shop owner had “joked” Downes had been chopped up and put into kebabs that were sold to the public. After the acquittal, the two men were paid £250,000 in compensation.

Earlier this year, another kebab shop made headlines after it was revealed that a 16-year-old girl was brutally gang raped by multiple Afghan Muslim men.

Muslim grooming gangs also continue to plague the North of England, according to recent reports, in which police allege that the Yorkshire town of Keighley may be home to a new grooming scandal involving over 179 individual sex crimes……

New York Congressman Demands Investigation Into Iranian Funding of US Universities


30

Why stop there? Why not Saudi Arabia? Qatar? Jihad regimes have bought our universities lock, stock and barrel. Millions of Islamic dollars have poured into Harvard, Georgetown, etc. The Saudis have lavished more than $200 million on top U.S. university scientists. Stanford, Cornell, Texas A&M, UC Berkeley, CalTech, Georgia Tech…

Saudi grants are available for:

Projects may include, but are not limited to:

Academic and professional lectures, seminars and speaker programs;
Artistic and cultural workshops, joint performances and exhibitions;
Cultural heritage conservation and preservation projects;
Cultural, professional and academic exchanges and projects;
Professional development workshops and training.

And we came cheap at the price. Look at the zombies coming out of American universities.

As a matter of fact, the scale of the donations is far beyond a handful, the universities involved are among the top academies in the world, the money involved is hundreds of billions of dollars, and the targets of Islamic finance are, for the most part, specific and form part of a distinct agenda. Some money may be given to business schools or science departments, but the overwhelming majority goes to support or create large departments and academic centers for Middle East, Islamic, or Arabic Studies….fundamentalist Muslim states such as Saudi Arabia and Qatar now effectively exercise a swathe of influence over the way in which Islam and Middle East Studies are taught in key Western universities. here.

Islamic influence on American education.


New York Congressman Demands Investigation Into

Iranian Funding of US Universities Through Alavi

Foundation

August 1, 2017, By Ben Cohen, Algemeiner:

A New York congressman is urging US Education Secretary Betsy DeVos to investigate the funneling of millions of dollars by an Iranian regime-controlled foundation to Ivy League universities, including Harvard, Columbia and Princeton.

“Did this foundation attempt to subvert American academic institutions?” Rep. Dan Donovan (R-NY), who represents the Staten Island borough, asked concerning the donations from the New York City-based Alavi Foundation, which critics say have funded anti-Israel and pro-Iran academics.

“We need to investigate this, and universities have to do a better job of vetting their donors,” Donovan said on Tuesday.

The Alavi Foundation has disbursed more than $50 million in grants since its foundation in 1973. It says that its goals are to promote Persian culture and interfaith dialogue and insists that it operates independently of the Iranian government.

ut at the end of June, a Manhattan jury determined that the foundation was controlled by the Tehran regime following the culmination of a nine-year legal battle in which federal prosecutors successfully charged that Alavi’s management of its prestigious office building on New York’s Fifth Avenue violated US sanctions against Iran. As a result of the court’s decision, the $500 million property was seized by the American government, which now plans to sell it and distribute a large portion of the proceeds to victims of Iranian-sponsored terror outrages.

The Alavi Foundation’s publicly available figures for its donations to universities — which account for the period up to 2014 only — show that some of America’s most renowned universities were recipients of six-figure sums, with Harvard awarded over $600,000. The foundation has also given more than $500,000 to Catholic schools, including the Catholic University of America and Sacred Heart University. Meanwhile, conservative journalist Jordan Schachtel reported earlier this month on a sharp increase in 2016 in the number of universities partnering with the Alavi Foundation, including Bard College, the University of Virginia and Brandeis University.

Among the many documents produced at the trial over the foundation’s New York building was a 1991 letter written by one of its directors affirming that he would step down in accordance with a directive from Iran’s supreme leader.

“Under the worst and most sensitive of political conditions between America and Iran, we have succeeded in fully protecting and expanding the foundation’s interests, which in truth belongs to the people of Iran,” the director wrote. “We were also able to successfully carry out cultural and Islamic activities in the country of the Great Satan.”

Russia Wasn’t the Only Foreign Country to Target Clinton Campaign Emails

North Korean hackers attempted to infiltrate the Hillary Clinton campaign’s email systems, according to a report circulated within the campaign last year.

That’s according to an interesting report published by CyberScoop, a cybersecurity website.

According to CyberScoop, North Korea’s Reconnaissance General Bureau (RGB) attempted to break into Clinton campaign systems by targeting a group of outside advisers working on East Asia policy for the campaign.

Using an attack method known as spearphishing, which attempts to wrangle users’ passwords, the hackers were able to infiltrate the email accounts of outside Clinton campaign advisers who work for an unnamed Washington, D.C. think tank.

AUSTRALIAN SENATOR Cory Bernardi calls for deportation of Muslim ‘halal’ king who claimed Australians needed Muslim men to ‘fertilize its women with Muslim babies”

Australian Conservatives Senator Cory Bernardi has slammed halal boss Mohamed Elmouelhy, saying he does not want him in the country. Senator Bernardi’s comments come in response to remarks Elmouelhy made on social media predicting the ‘white race would be extinct’ within 40 years.

%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=www.barenakedislam.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/42D7117A00000578-0-image-a-14_1501488119257.jpg?resize=584%2C329" alt="" width="584" height="329" />

Daily Mail (h/t Sara S)  Mr Elmouelhy told his Facebook followers Australian women needed Muslim men to ‘fertilise them’ and ‘keep them surrounded by Muslim babies’.

Mr Elmouelhy made the comment after Hebrew University in Jerusalem published research which showed sperm counts in men from Australia, New Zealand, North America and Europe had declined by more than 50 per cent in less than 40 years.

%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=www.barenakedislam.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/42BBFAFE00000578-4735588-Halal_Certification_Authority_boss_says_Australian_women_need_Mu-a-11_1501158686559-1.jpg?resize=584%2C203" alt="" width="584" height="203" />

‘Your men are a dying breed, Australian women need us to fertilise them and keep them surrounded by Muslim babies while beer swilling, cigarette smoking, drug injecting can only dream of what Muslim men are capable of,’ he said.  Mr Elmouelhy, who is the president of Halal Certification Authority, said Australia’s white race ‘will be extinct in another 40 years’ if the country is ‘left to bigots’. 

The senator says Mr Elmouelhy’s comments show why reform is needed to Australia’s immigration system. Halal Certification Authority president Mohamed Elmouelhy moved to Australia in 1975 and reportedly became a citizen in 1981, starting his business in 1993.

The supremacist Muslim businessman called on these ‘bigots’ to kill themselves or plan to die. ‘Because you are declining, better go choose a plot for yourself at your local cemetery,’ he said. ‘If you can’t afford it, commit suicide. It is a cheaper alternative for bigots.’

The 2016 Census revealed that Muslims made up 2.6 per cent of the Australian population, up from 2.2 per cent in 2011. Australia’s Muslim population soared to more than 604,000 people, overtaking Buddhism as the most popular non-Christian religion, and marking a significant jump from 341,000 a decade earlier.

Obama holdover tasked with ‘countering violent extremism’ resigns

Source: Obama holdover tasked with ‘countering violent extremism’ resigns

George Selim, a prominent Obama administration holdover known for engaging fringe Islamic radicals, has resigned from the Department of Homeland Security. Selim left his post as director of Countering Violent Extremism (CVE), a senior administration official who is not authorized to discuss personnel matters confirmed to Conservative Review Sunday.

The former DHS chief submitted his resignation Friday, following his testimony Thursday before the House Oversight Committee.

A DHS source familiar with the situation who is not permitted to discuss the matter publicly explained that Selim often clashed with Trump administration officials, who sought to do away with the past president’s policies. Senior officials effectively quashed Selim’s efforts to maneuver Obama White House policies and strategies into the new administration, leaving a frustrated Selim with resignation as his only option.

Conservative national security experts have almost unanimously condemned the CVE approach as an ineffective program (at its best), and one that empowers Islamist groups and undermines Muslim reformers (at its worst).

The CVE program is seen as dangerous because its inherent political correctness disallows counter-terror analysts from observing whether there is a religious component to radical Islamic terrorism. Under President Obama, countless Muslim Brotherhood-connected groups shuffled in and out of the White House to stake their claims in the debate.


The Atlantic’s Peter Beinhart, interviewed several known U.S. Brotherhood mouthpieces about the change and suggests that Selim’s departure “is exactly what ISIS and al-Qaeda want.” 

Notwithstanding, he notes that Selim was actually a Bush-era holdover who was promoted under Obama.

…in 2004 served as an alternate delegate to the Republican National Convention. Soon after that, he joined the Bush administration.

Selim served under Chertoff as a senior policy adviser in the Department’s Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties.

That’s why they call it a swamp. More worrisome considering Trump’s new chief of staff, Selim told The Atlantic:

He [Selim] told me he believes former Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly grasped the importance of outreach to Muslim communities. Selim even arranged for Kelly to attend an Iftar dinner in Northern Virginia earlier this year, in which the secretary spoke enthusiastically about the importance of partnering with American Muslims. In a statement issued Monday, Acting DHS Secretary Elaine Duke said that, Kelly “and I often relied on George’s thoughtful and reasoned approach to challenging issues” and that his “experienced and steady hand was important as he played a key role in advising me and senior DHS leaders.” Kelly’s departure from DHS—on Monday he’ll become Trump’s White House chief of staff—may have contributed to Selim’s resignation.

Could we see Selim on Kelly’s staff in the near future? Let’s hope not. Selim was responsible for de-Islamizing counter-terror training in the U.S.:

Selim’s task force upheld standards for counterterrorism training. During Obama’s first term, Spencer Ackerman, then of Wired, documented the widespread use of blatantly anti-Muslim materials in counterterrorism training at the FBI, the military and the Justice Department. Selim’s task force helped create and enforce new standards, which required that training materials on Islam be peer reviewed.


Peer reviewed by Muslim Brotherhood groups that Selim invited to the White House and met with regularly. Maybe Selim will end up on the Saudi payroll at The Alwaleed Islamic Studies Program at Harvard University – where he already has a bio page.

Selim’s name pops up numerous times in the Creeping Sharia archives, here.

Meanwhile, despite Trump’s efforts to completely defund the failed CVE program, Republicans continue funding Muslim groups under CVE including paying more than $500,000 to one mosque.

Court: New Jersey Residents Can’t Mention ’Islam’ or ’Muslim’ at Public Hearing on Mosque

Sharia in action.

Source: Court: Residents Can’t Mention ’Islam’ or ’Muslim’ At Public Hearing on Mosque Construction; Thomas  h/t Iron Burka

ANN ARBOR, Mich., Aug. 1, 2017 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — In a settlement agreement, which reads more like an instrument of surrender, Bernards Township (“Township”), New Jersey officials agreed that, in addition to a $3.5 million payment to Islamic Society of Basking Ridge (“ISBR”), residents and citizens of the Township are prohibited from commenting on “Islam” or “Muslims.” at the upcoming public hearing to approve the settlement.  Astonishingly, a federal judge approved the prohibition as a fully enforceable Order of the Court.

As a result of this suppression of speech, the Thomas More Law Center (“TMLC”), a national public interest law firm based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, yesterday, filed a lawsuit in the New Jersey Federal District Court on behalf of Christopher and Loretta Quick.   The lawsuit was filed by TMLC affiliated New Jersey attorney, Michael Hrycak. Mr. Hrycak was assisted by TMLC staff attorney, Tyler Brooks. The TMLC is representing the Quicks without charge.

TMLC’s lawsuit alleges that Bernards Township’s settlement agreement constitutes a prior restraint on speech based on content, as well as, a violation of the Establishment Clause because it prefers Islam over other religions.  The lawsuit asks the court to: declare that the settlement agreement is unconstitutional; and to enter a preliminary and permanent injunction against its enforcement.

Read TMLC’s entire Federal Complaint here.

The Quicks reside within 200 feet of the proposed mosque construction in a zoned residential area.  Yet, the settlement agreement prohibits them from describing the many unique features of Islamic worship which will impact design of the building, traffic density, water and sewage, traffic control problems, road construction, and parking arrangements.   According to the settlement agreement, ISBR is permitted to make statements concerning Christians and Jews and their places of worship, but in contrast, the Agreement prohibits commentary relating to Islam or Muslims. In fact, ISBR has previously discussed the Christian and Jewish religions and their places of worship.

Richard Thompson, President and Chief Counsel of the Thomas More Law Center, commented: “As we have previously documented, ISBR has taken the extraordinary step of concealing significant links on their website to a radical group named by the federal government as an unindicted co-conspirator in the largest terrorism financing trial in America history, the Islamic Society of North America (“ISNA”).  ISNA is claimed by the Muslim Brotherhood as one of “our organizations.” According to internal documents seized by the FBI, the Muslim Brotherhood’s strategy is to engage in a “grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying Western civilization from within . . .”

Thompson continued, “While claiming that the Township had a religious animus against Muslims, ISBR hid from the public view its animus toward Christians and Jews, by not only hiding anti-Christian and anti-Semitic verses published on its website, but also hiding its significant ties to ISNA. Instead of standing up to defend its citizens against ISBR’s hate-filled anti-Semitic and anti-Christian bias, the Township colluded with ISBR’s “Civilization Jihad” by capitulating to payment of millions of dollars to ISBR, allowing the construction the new mosque and Islamic center in violation of zoning codes, and now even suppressing speech concerning Islam or Muslims at a public meeting.”

In March 2016, ISBR filed a lawsuit in the New Jersey Federal District Court alleging that Bernards Township had discriminated against the Islamic Society when it declined to approve the construction of a large mosque on a lot that was far too small to handle the contemplated structure.  And in November 2016, the United States represented by the U. S. Justice Department filed a second lawsuit against the Township on similar grounds. The settlement agreement covers both lawsuits.

More: Thomas More Law Center Continues Fight Against Mosque Construction After Bernards Township Holds Sham Hearings To “Paper Over” Their Violations of Law

ANN ARBOR, MI – A flurry of legal pleadings relating to Bernards Township’s sham hearings filed last week by the Thomas More Law Center (“TMLC”), signaled that the Law Center will continue to fight against approval of a mosque in Bernards Township, New Jersey.

In March 2016, the Islamic Society of Basking Ridge filed a lawsuit in the New Jersey Federal District Court alleging that Bernards Township had discriminated against the Islamic Society when it declined to approve the construction of a large mosque on a lot that was far too small to handle the contemplated structure.  A similar lawsuit was filed by the federal government a few months later.

On May 23, 2017, the Township Committee and the Township Planning Board held a public meeting in which they held a previously unannounced vote to enter into a settlement agreement relating to the two lawsuits filed against them. The settlement agreements were matters of extraordinary public interest because they required the payment of $3.25 million dollars to a local mosque and its attorneys as well as a grant of a variance in the zoning ordinances to allow the mosque to be built. The public was not told of the terms of the settlement agreement or allowed to comment on the vote until after the vote had been taken.

On May 25, 2017, the TMLC, through its New Jersey affiliate attorney, Michael Hrycak, filed a lawsuit in the Superior Court of New Jersey on behalf of Plaintiff, Cody Smith, under the New Jersey Open Public Meetings Act (OPMA) for open and flagrant violations of that statute by the Township because they willfully sought to prevent public notice and comment on issues of profound public concern. The lawsuit alleges that Bernards Township entered into an agreement to settle the case brought against it by the Islamic Society of Basking Ridge and the federal government, without ever disclosing to the public beforehand, the terms of the settlement agreements as required by the New Jersey Open Public Meetings Act (OPMA).

On May 30, 2017, despite being notified of the State lawsuit seeking to void the settlement, the Township asked a federal judge to enter an order based on the settlement agreement, without telling him about this lawsuit.

On June 13, 2017, apparently seeing that their earlier votes without public notice were infirm, the Township Board held a second vote, supposedly to ratify the earlier vote. Then on June 21, 2017, the Township removed the state case to the Federal District Court.

TMLC attorney Jay Combs commented: “The hearings held by the Township after the OPMA violations, were really just sham proceedings to cover their deliberate violations of the law which prejudiced the public’s rights during the first hearing. At the time of the second hearing on June 13th, they had already presented the signed settlement agreements to the federal judge and requested the judge to issue an order ratifying those agreements. The second hearing was simply window-dressing because they had no choice but to vote to approve the settlements again. The public deserves, and demands, more from their elected officials.”

In their answer to TMLC’s State Complaint, the Township attempted to sweep their violations under the rug by alleging that, even if they violated the New Jersey Open Public Meetings Act by voting on two settlement agreements without giving the public proper notice, those votes were later cured by what they called a de novo hearing on June 13, 2017 in which they voted again on the same settlement agreements. The problem with that argument was that the settlement had already been presented to the federal judge and was already memorialized in a court order. To show its disdain for the public, the Township informed the judge it has no legal obligation to allow public comments on the settlement agreements.

Regarding the Township’s removal of the State case to the Federal District Court, TMLC filed a motion in Federal Court alerting the Court to the fact that the Township of Bernards, in their Answer to the TMLC lawsuit, has attempted to paper-over their violations of the New Jersey Open Public Meetings Act (OPMA) by holding the sham hearing.

On the same day, the TMLC also asked the judge to send the State lawsuit back to the New Jersey state court, where it was originally filed, after the Township had removed the case from state court to federal court on June 21, 2017. The TMLC pointed out to the federal Judge that the lawyers for the Township, although they knew of the TMLC lawsuit seeking to void the settlement agreements, ensnared him by presenting these voidable agreements to the Judge without disclosing to him that a lawsuit was pending, which raised serious questions about the legality of the agreements.

The disturbing omissions of fact by the attorneys for the Township follows in the long and troubling pattern of the Township in the settlement of this case.   They have rushed toward a pre-ordained settlement while ignoring the laws requiring public communication and input and finally shoved the settlement down the throats of unwilling citizens. The TMLC is vigorously defending the rights of Bernards Township citizens to a transparent and responsive Township government.

Germany: Muslim biker gang patrolling against “Islamophobia”

Fundamentalist Islamic leaders have formed a biker gang in Germany modeled after the Hells Angels to protect Muslims from a perceived growth of hatred toward Islam.

Criticism of Islam is regarded by Salafists, the Muslim Brotherhood and many other Muslims as “hatred,” a notion that is advanced through “anti-Islamophobia” drives throughout the West. the freedom of speech and expression is a hallmark of Western democracy. Western leaders are allowing constitutional freedoms to be trampled; freedoms that benefit everyone, including Muslims. Now that Islamic supremacists and jihadists are emboldened in Germany, a biker Sharia patrol is adding to the existing woes that stem from the recent hijrah.

The report below reveals the truth that the more leeway Islamic supremacists are given, the more violent they become, and they do it in stages:

A report on Salafist violence from the German domestic intelligence agency BfV stated that Salafists threaten to escalate the level of violent civil unrest that already threatens German communities.

This Salafist biker group claims that it doesn’t “force its faith on anyone,” but it is doing just that. Muslim hate preachers who call for hatred of Jews and Christians, hatred of the infidel, and hatred of gays, and who incite violence against those groups, have become untouchable as a result of the drive to crush “Islamophobia,” i.e. criticism of Islam that insults Muslim sensibilities. “Islamophobia” initiatives present Muslims as victims when they are not. While Western leaders are failing to protect their citizens of every race and creed, this Salafist biker group is now working to protect Muslims against alleged “Islamophobia” in Germany. The group discounts the jihad attacks and rapes by Muslims that have horrified Germany. To them, such horrors are less important than the “crime” of criticizing Islam.

A year ago, a Muslim biker gang released “a Rap Music video threatening to take over Germany.”

“Muslims Form Fundamentalist Biker Gang In Germany”, by Joshua Gill, Daily Caller, July 31, 2017:

Fundamentalist Islamic leaders have formed a biker gang in Germany modeled after the Hells Angels to protect Muslims from a perceived growth of hatred toward Islam.

The gang, known as Germany’s Muslims, formed in May under the leadership of Marcel Kunst, a German convert who changed his name to Mahmud Salam, according to Gatestone Institute (GI) Monday.

Kunst is a known Salafist — a fundamentalist Muslim whose goal is to institute Sharia law in Germany. A statement on the gang’s Facebook page claiming non-violence, translated by GI, reads as follows:

Our organization has been founded for only one purpose: To protect and support our brothers and sisters from the ever-growing hatred of Islam!!! To all non-Muslims who read this post, pay attention. The following could change your perception of us!!! We respect every religion and, as dictated by the Quran, do not force our faith on anyone!!! We do not sympathize with the Islamic State and are against compulsion in faith and in marriage!!! ISLAM DOES NOT RECOGNIZE HONOR KILLINGS AS IS OFTEN SUPPOSED!!! The raised finger in our logo is not from the so-called Islamic State. In our faith it symbolizes that there is only one God!!! We have summarized 40 commandments from the Quran for you….IMPORTANT. Whoever gets into a fight on the road or elsewhere (except for self-defense) will be expelled from our group without further discussion!!!

German authorities identified several of the gang’s senior leaders, in addition to Kunst, as Salafists, including a gang “sergeant” who was detained by police July 2 during the Tour de France when the race passed through Mönchengladbach, where the gang was founded. Police issued a warning to the gang’s leadership that vigilanteism would not be tolerated.

“So far, we have no evidence that they are a danger, but we are keeping our eyes on them,” said Isabella Hannen, spokeswoman for the Mönchengladbach Police Department, to Die Welt.

The gang has been viewed with heavy suspicion by locals in light of Islamic vigilante groups who posed a threat to German communities over recent years, according to GI.

One such group, the self-styled “Sharia Police,” began patrolling German communities in 2016, urging Muslims and non-Muslims alike to adhere to Sharia law, and even passed out leaflets in the section of one town to declare it a “Sharia controlled zone.” A group of about a hundred Islamists also began enforcing Sharia law with violent means in a Chechen community in Berlin.

A report on Salafist violence from the German domestic intelligence agency BfV stated that Salafists threaten to escalate the level of violent civil unrest that already threatens German communities.

“The potential threat posed by Salafist violence remains dangerously high,” the report reads…..

How the Muslim Migrant Crisis is Pushing Italy Away from Europe

36

A recent poll indicates that the majority of Italians are in favor of a total ban on new arrivals. Yes, because they aren’t suicidal.

How the Migrant Crisis is Pushing Italy Away from Europe
Eurocrisis in the Press

by Alessandro Franzi, London School of Economics, July 2017 (thanks to Lookmann):

Ayvazovskiy_-_A_storm_begins_to_whip_up_in_the_Black_Sea_%28heliography%29.jpgImmigration is going to be the political battleground of the next Italian general elections due in 2018. Virtually all major political leaders have hardened their position on borders protection following the new migration crisis in the Mediterranean. Austerity policies and lack of democracy in the EU integration process were the main concerns during the European elections campaign three years ago. Identity issue is now deepening Italian disaffection with Europe by boosting a patriotic rhetoric promoted by both right-wing and left-wing parties.

The fear of an uncontrolled influx of people has strengthened in the last two years while the sea crossing from Libya to South of Italy has become the main access route for migrants and refugees to Europe. According to the minister of Interior, the number of people arrived on Italian shores has increased almost 7 per cent since the beginning of the year. The current 94.000 asylum seekers [1] are expected to grow to 200.000 by the end of the summer.

Italy is just a transit country for most of them who try to reach their networks to the North. The Italian government has repeatedly invoked European solidarity to cope with reception problems. However, Italian citizens feel their concerns over immigration are ignored by EU institutions in favor of national interests [2]. The main consequence could be the rise of the first Eurosceptic government among the founder countries.

The Left Dilemma

“We cannot welcome them all”, leftwing leader Matteo Renzi said after his Democratic Party had lost June 2017 local elections to the center-right opponents. The party has been running the government since 2013 and it’s under pressure because of the rising number of asylum seekers and the denial of other EU countries like France to open their ports to refugee rescue boats. Additionally more and more local mayors refuse to welcome new migrants [3] in a bid to avoid unpopularity amongst their communities.

A recent SWG survey [4] indicates that the majority of Italians (54 per cent) is in favor of a total ban on new arrivals. This percentage has increased by six points since January. Furthermore back in 2003 65 percent of the Italian public considered migrants a resource but the percentage has now dropped to 35 percent. Researches underline that “approval for hard and simplistic solutions are finding fertile and expansive soil in the middle-low classes, in the middle class affected by the crisis and inflamed in its social identity”. They add that “the immigration issue has been underestimated by European governments and has been faced with an emergency approach”.

The Democratic Party seems to be paying the higher political price for this emergency approach that has exasperated Italian public opinion. When Mr. Renzi served as Italian prime minister up to last December, he used to say only “beasts” want to block immigrants who risk their life crossing the Mediterranean. He changed tone after June council elections by arguing that “too much” of them have been going on national shores these years. The former PM invited left-wing establishment to give traditional identity a good value and suggested to “help migrants in their own countries”. The latter is the same slogan of both far right candidate Matteo Salvini and populist Five Stars Movement.

It’s not just a lexical revolution, because current left-wing government is trying to pursue a ‘law and order’ political action. Italy urges Europe to share the responsibility of migrant crisis and is trying to impose on NGOs operating in the Mediterranean Sea new rules of conduct in order to limit their rescue activities [5]. Rome wants also to speed up the repatriation process for those migrants who are not qualified for international protections. This effort could unfortunately be out of time.

The Populist Option

Immigration is not a new problem for Mediterranean countries but it has become significantly worse following the ouster of Muammar Gaddafi from Libya in 2011. In the past six years Italian politics has been ideologically divided into two factions. The one on the left side supporting extreme hospitality as a duty, the other on the right side accused of xenophobia [6]. Meanwhile no government party has proposed a comprehensive reform of immigration laws. The result is a growing popular concern boosted by a growing sensational approach by mainstream media.

Just six months before the next general elections, the Italian political landscape is now dominated by the current immigration issue. The Left is considering to be chasing its political enemies in order to stop the loss of consents. However this could definitely decrease its chance of victory. Traditional left-wing parties are not yet able to “offer protection” to the weakest member of society because they are associated with the élite in charge, as claimed by sociologist Luca Ricolfi [7]. Mr. Ricolfi, who has a progressive background, suggests this protection nowadays comes easier from populist options.

Underestimating the immigration consequences has strengthened all opposition forces in Italy and weakened citizens’ confidence in the EU. Virtually all politicians publicly blame the European institutions for allowing what they call the “invasion” of Italy. They had done the same in order to justify the high rates of unemployment. Moreover, the recent choice for a proportional electoral system contributes to a greater radicalization of party proposals.

According to current polls, Beppe Grillo’s populist Five Star Movement has the highest chance to lead the next Italian government. The movement wants a political reset and refuses any alliance because of its opposition to the politici di professione (professional politicians). Mr Grillo wants a regulated immigration and a soft European Union, possibly leaving Italy out of the Euro. The programmatic basis of Five Star Movement is very similar to that of Matteo Salvini far right Northern League [8], a Marine Le Pen ally since 2014.

A Political Gamble

The two populist and Eurosceptic parties account for more than 40 per cent of voting intentions. And a growing number of analysis believes it possible a government alliance among Five Star Movement and Northern League after 2018 elections [9]. This hypothesis could lead Italy to extremely critical positions regarding the European integration process, with a government closer to Hungary’s Orbán (and Putin’s Russia) than to Germany or France.

According to the same polls, in this scenario the Democratic Party could lead a center-left post-vote government only if it were able to arrange a large progressive alliance. Mr. Renzi, who was defeated at a constitutional referendum last December and suffered a recent party split, does not seem inclined to do so. It’s finally the former center-right PM Silvio Berlusconi to play the kingmaker role.

Forza Italia’s leader is against mass immigration and in favor of a EU treaty reform, but he has a moderate approach closer to Merkel’s Germany. With his 15 percent, Mr. Berlusconi could decide to rebuild a center-right alliance with Northern League by breaking the extremist axis. Such a coalition could also win the elections, based on current projections. In alternative, Mr. Berlusconi could decide to make a deal with Renzi’s Democrats and give birth to a great coalition government.

What is certain is that anyone wishing to govern Italy should be more or less patriotic on the two issues that are dividing national public opinion. Summing up Grillo, Salvini, Berlusconi and their allies strength, ‘Italians first’ motto is worth more than 60 per cent of consents. A remaining 20-25 percent belongs to a Democratic Party leader who is promising Brussels not to pay Italian EU budget shares without new immigration aides measures.

In the face of the migrant crisis, Italy feels treated as the periphery of Europe. And it is not a fleeting sentiment. A recent Demos survey [10] published on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of Treaties of Rome indicates that only 34 percent of Italian citizens still have trust in European Union, back in the 1998 the figure was 73 percent.

The more Italians feels overlooked by Europe in migrant crisis, the more Eurosceptic position will grow in the electoral polls. It would mean a request for greater border control power, for a Dublin rules on refugees reform and for more identity laws. Every next Italian government will have to take it in account.

Muslim “Refugees” Take Over Small Tennessee Town, Force Absolute HELL On Terrified Christians

Jul 30, 2017

Islam is a disease that ruins every good place to which it arrives. Barack Obama’s biggest goal while in office was to radically transform America into a third-world Muslim nation living under Sharia law.

Unfortunately, he succeeded with some communities. Jihad Watch reported that residents of Shelbyville, Tennessee are now living in fear after a Muslim shot up three of their Christian churches, and the media went dead silent! This is terrifying!

The sad part of this is that the Leftist politicians and the mainstream media have completely abandoned these folks. They are innocent victims of Barack Obama’s ludicrous “refugee” policy. This story shows what happens when Islam moves into a city.

Shelbyville was an idyllic small town in the heart of Tennessee, filled with Christian churches and local mom and pop shops. Everything changed when Obama’s refugee program dumped loads of violent Somali refugees into the town.

Shelbyville residents suddenly found themselves constantly harassed by rude, uneducated, intolerant Somalis. Somalia is as bad as it gets. It’s a poverty-ridden wasteland where Islam runs everything. Now our communities are being turned into mini Somalias.

The locals realized the refugees had absolutely no intention of assimilating. They didn’t want to become productive members of American society. They brought all their ills and bad habits to this American town and expected Shelbyville residents to conform to them!

Town residents described the refugees as “demanding.” They haggled over prices in stores. They refused to talk to female employees in businesses, demanding to do business only with males. Islam is backward and intolerant, and sexist, to say the least!

Unfortunately, Shelbyville residents soon found themselves dealing with more than overbearing third-worlders. They became the target of terrorist violence, attacked by radical jihadists because of their Christian faith.

Three churches were shot up at night. Horse Mountain Church of Christ, Philippi Methodist Church, and Singleton United Methodist Church were all hit by rounds belonging to an AK-47. These Muslims are out to kill!

The shooter wasn’t a Christian, or the media would have covered it unmercifully. Not surprisingly, the shooter was a Muslim convert named Wendell Buchanan, according to New English Review). His social media posts are non-stop praises of Allah and Islam. Like any good Muslim, he’s set on killing American infidels.

The purposely hidden atrocities

NOTEWhen writing about God and Jesus, The Daily Jot means YHVH as God and Yeshua Ha Mashiach as Jesus--the actual original names and the true nature and character of them.
  
Tuesday, August 1, 2017
In recent weeks there have been many news reports about group rapes, forced marriages, human sex trafficking and the modern slave trade extending from European countries. News reporters are using code words rather than exposing the truth behind these atrocities. They use words like "migrant population" or "immigrants" or "migrant communities" to describe who is responsible for and where these violent acts against women and children are taking place. What the media is not telling the public is that these "migrants" or "immigrants" are Islamic or are from Muslim-dominated countries. The media is irresponsibly hiding these atrocities rather than expose the "Religion of Peace" for its reprehensible acts.
 
The National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children in the UK reports some 6,000 visits to its website that offers counseling and resources to those concerned about forced marriage. Counseling sessions were up 12% over 2016 with "Girls as young as 13" saying they were "frightened about being taken abroad and forced to marry strangers by their families." In addition, UK's National Health Services reported more than 5,000 new female genital mutilation cases in the year from April 2016 to March 2017. These are the consequences of allowing unrestricted immigration from Muslim countries because they are practices of the Islamic religious and political system, although governments don't want to admit it.
 
Festivals in Europe are also the target of sexual assaults and gang rapes committed by "individuals from migrant backgrounds." In Sweden, for example, four girls aged 15-17 were raped over the weekend at a festival. Last year, 40 girls were attacked at just one music festival in Sweden, showing a increase of a 1,000% country-wide over 2015. The disrespect for girls and women by Islamic "immigrants" is common. The US State Department report on Human Trafficking seems to go out of the way to avoid singling out Islamic nations, but it is Islamic nations that appear to commit the most human trafficking. For example, the top eight nations that nabs children for "child soldiering" are Islamic.
 
Approximately 60 of 71 countries that are on the State Department human trafficking watch list are Islamic dominated or have high Islamic populations. Communist or former communist nations make up the bulk of the rest. Of course, the State Department doesn't single out the common thread of Islam in these countries. It seems that the governments and media cannot or will not see the truth in where a large part of the evils of the world are coming from. For those who do see this, I am reminded of 2 Corinthians 4:2, "But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God." Let us be such.
Have a Blessed and Powerful Day!
Bill Wilson

July 31, 2017/by WND
 
When a Bernie Sanders-loving, leftist gunman shot Rep. Steve Scalise and three others during a GOP baseball practice June 14, the U.S. Capitol Police elite tactical team mistakenly headed to Rep. Nancy Pelosi’s house several miles away, according to an internal investigation by the department.
 
The scene of the shooting was at Eugene Simpson Stadium Park in Alexandria, Virginia.
 
But the Capitol Police team instead headed for Pelosi’s waterfront home on 30th Street in Georgetown, which is 7.2 miles, or a 20-minute drive, north of the baseball stadium.
 
Now Capitol Police have opened an internal investigation to determine why the officers were directed to Pelosi’s house, reported Bloomberg, which cited “two people familiar with the matter” who requested anonymity “to speak about the sensitive incident.”
 

“The Alexandria incident continues to be an ongoing investigation. We do not comment on ongoing investigations,” Eva Malecki, a Capitol Police spokesperson, told Bloomberg Monday.

Muslims violently attacked strangers because they were “white and non-Muslim”

No hate crime charges. And a paltry sentence. Coming to your city soon.

A gang of Muslim men rampaged through Liverpool city centre attacking strangers because they were white “non-Muslims”.

The drunken yobs targeted three unknown men before Mohmed, 24, and Mohammed, 20, set upon Gary Bohanna when he revealed he was Christian.

Laughing Faruq, 19, who was not convicted of a racial or religious motive, then filmed Mohmed punching St Helens councillor Paul Lynch to the ground, as his terrified girlfriend tried to protect him.

The judge, Recorder Louise Brandon, said: “This was a disgraceful and sustained campaign of violence carried out on the streets of this city.”

Paul Treble, prosecuting, said fellow-Muslim Edris Nosrati spotted two of the gang attacking a man in Bold Street at around 3.30am.

He said: “He was concerned because one of them seemed to be using racist language, talking about Muslims and Christians.

“One of them came up to Mr Nosrati and said ‘are you a Muslim?’ Mr Nosrati said he was, but the man said ‘well, what’s the Muslim word?’”

He said Mr Nosrati replied with a “well-known” Arabic phrase: “There is only one God, and Muhammad is a messenger.”

Mr Treble said: “He said it’s a phrase often linked with ISIS.

“He was concerned as to their exact intent and that they might be associated in some way to an extremist organisation.”

Mr Nosrati was told “you can go”, but when he tried to stop them punching another man, one replied: “It’s none of your business.”

He followed the gang to Renshaw Street, where Mr Bohanna was asked: “What are you?”

The victim was confused but when one of them said “I’m a Muslim, what are you?” he answered “I’m a Christian”.

The attacker shouted “Why aren’t you a Muslim?” before punching him twice, breaking his glasses and causing a 2cm cut above his left eye.

The gang then encountered Mr Lynch, Labour councillor for Moss Bank, and his girlfriend Jill Newton.

Footage taken by Faruq captured Mohmed punch Mr Lynch with a “sickening blow” that could be “seen and heard”.

Mr Nosrati called police but Faruq fled, so the witness chased and caught him.

The teenager punched Mr Nosrati and struck him in the eye with his phone, but the hero held on.

Mr Bohanna and Mr Lynch – who suffered bruising and bleeding to his eyes – were taken to hospital.

Mohmed made no comment to police, but later claimed he could not remember anything because he was so drunk.

Mohammed initially denied the assaults and suggested they had been racially abused by other men.

However, he confessed to “targeting people because they were white and non-Muslim”.

Mohmed, of Perendale Rise, Bolton, and Mohammed, of Eastbank Street, Bolton, admitted racially or religiously aggravated assault causing actual bodily harm.

The pair, along with Faruq, of Crumpsall Street, Bolton, also admitted assault causing actual bodily harm and affray.

The judge said: “References to the fact he was not a Muslim was made and you appeared to justify your actions because of certain beliefs you held.”

Recorder Brandon said after the joint enterprise attack on Mr Lynch, “frightened” Miss Newton “had no idea what you were going to do next”.

She said Mohammed “confirmed those targeted that night were targeted because they were white and non-Muslim.”

Mohmed cried as he was jailed for 42 weeks. Mohammed and Faruq Patel received 42 and 18 weeks respectively in a young offenders institution.

A Month of Islam and Multiculturalism in France: June 2017

June 1. Saber Lahmar, a 48-year-old Algerian who has lived in Bordeaux since his release from Guantánamo Bay in 2009, was charged with “terrorist association” and placed in pre-trial detention. He is suspected of providing financial, logistical and doctrinal aid to French jihadists who were planning to travel to Iraq and Syria. Lahmar was arrested in Bosnia in 2001 after being accused of plotting to bomb the American embassy in Sarajevo. In November 2008, U.S. District Judge Richard J. Leon ordered Lahmar to be released from Guantánamo because there was insufficient reason to hold him. In December 2009, Robert C. Kirsch, a lawyer at the firm of WilmerHale, which represented Lahmar in federal court, said: “We are grateful for the courage and generosity of the French people and government, and for the ongoing effort by President Obama… which will now give Mr. Lahmar a chance to rebuild his life in France.”

June 1. A group of prominent intellectuals accused French authorities of covering up the April 4 murder of a Jewish woman by her Muslim neighbor. Kobili Traoré a 27-year-old Malian Muslim, tortured 66-year-old Sarah Halimi and threw her out of her third-story apartment. The letter criticizes the Paris Prosecutor’s Office for omitting hate crime charges from a draft indictment against Traoré. They cited a recording of the incident made by another neighbor. In it, Traoré can be heard shouting “Allahu Akbar” and calling Halimi “dirty Jew” to her face. Some observers believe the authorities covered up Halimi’s murder to prevent it from helping Marine Le Pen’s presidential campaign.

June 2. The mayor of Nice, Christian Estrosi, banned Noorassur, a local insurance broker, from hanging a sign with the words “Islamic finance” because it “poses a high risk of disturbing public order.” Estrosi said the sign was placed in close proximity to the Promenade des Anglais, the site of the July 14, 2016 jihadist attack. He said that there was a risk to both the staff and the customers and that passersby might see the sign as a provocation. Noorassur’s founder, Sonia Mariji, filed a lawsuit against the city. “Islamic finance is not incompatible with the Republic,” she said. “I am a fruit of the Republic.” Her lawyer accused Estrosi of “conveying the idea that Islamic finance is linked to Islamist terrorism.”

June 6. Farid Ikken, a 40-year-old Algerian, attacked a police officer in front of the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris. Government spokesman Christophe Castaner said the hammer attack was an “isolated act.” Ikken was later charged with “attempted murder in connection with a terrorist enterprise.” Prosecutor François Molins said that Ikken was radicalized through Islamic State propaganda he found on the internet. Molins also confirmed that Ikken, who had recorded a video pledging allegiance to the Islamic State, was a former journalist who was legally living in France as a student working on his doctoral thesis.

June 8. In an interview with L’Obs, British Indian author Sir Salman Rushdie, the object of an Islamic death sentence for alleged blasphemy in his 1988 best-selling novel The Satanic Verses, blamed European leaders for refusing to see the reality of the origins of jihadism:

“I am in fundamental disagreement with these left-wing people who do everything to dissociate fundamentalism from Islam. Islam has been radicalized for fifty years. On the Shiite side, there was Imam Khomeini and his Islamic revolution. In the Sunni world, there was Saudi Arabia, which used its immense resources to finance the spread of this fanaticism of Wahhabism. But this historical evolution took place within Islam and not outside. When the people of the Islamic State attack, they do it by saying ‘Allahu Akbar.’ So how can we then say that this has nothing to do with Islam? It must be stopped.”

June 11. Three more men were charged with involvement in supplying the weapon that Karim Cheufri used to kill police officer Xavier Jugelé in Paris on April 20. A total of four suspects have been charged with directly or indirectly helping Cheufri, who was shot dead after killing Jugelé and wounding two other police officers on the Champs-Elysées.

June 13. President Emmanuel Macron and British Prime Minister Theresa May announced an anti-terror action plan to remove jihadist propaganda from the internet. The action plan includes exploring the possibility of legal penalties against social media companies if they fail to remove unacceptable content from their networks.

June 14. The mayor of Mandelieu-La-Napoule, Henri Leroy, called on the fashion chain Hennes & Mauritz (H&M) to prohibit sales personnel from wearing Islamic headscarves. He said he had received repeated complaints from shopkeepers and local citizens who are “embarrassed by the religious attire of your employees.” He added: “I think it is useful to remind you that the municipality is attached to Republican values and to religious neutrality.” Feïza Ben Mohamed, a candidate in the local elections in the Alpes-Maritimes department accused Leroy of “Islamophobia” and of engaging in a “shameful polemic.”
