The Suicide Bomber Auction, Saudia Arabia
An unbelievable leaked video of an auction for a suicide bomber against
Syria. This takes place in a hotel conference room in Jeddah, Saudi
Arabia. The atmosphere is festive, and the audience has children in it.
But the merchandise auctioned is human flesh and blood!
The video
shows the father, Abu-Salah, attending the auction and offering his son
Khaled as a sacrifice (2nd son to "sacrifice" his life) .The father receives 1.5 million Riyals ($400,000) as
future compensation for his son's demise in Syria. At one point in the
video, the father is elated at the high bids.
Muslim No-Go Areas Are Now Tourist Attractions
There was a surreal article in the German newspaper Die Welt yesterday,
recommending the Muslim no-go areas of Brussels as tourist attractions.
This wasn't tongue-in-cheek either. They were serious. Here's a taste.
There's more in this vein, including a recommendation for a restaurant, ironically called "La Paix" [The Peace] that operates just across the road from a place where smuggled cigarettes and weapons are traded.
Isn't Muslim immigration great? Now we don't need to go to Africa or South America to have dangerous adventure holidays! We can do it right in the heart of Europe! Wunderbar!

Don't shy away from no-go areasSource: Die Welt Via: SOS Heimat
Crime is a big problem in Belgium's capital. Many districts are considered no-go-areas, in which not even the police dare to go. But: you miss out on a lot if you avoid them.
Admitted, crime is a big problem in Belgium's capital. The number of smaller crimes especially is as huge as the unemployment. Many districts - Anderlecht, Molenbeek, Cureghem – are considered no-go-areas. It's true, when darkness falls, you should definitely not get lost there.
But you miss out on a lot if you don't leave the usual well-worn path to the Grand Place. Because every day, right there in Anderlecht, you can dive into a diversity of languages, cultures, smells and colours that is bursting from every seam.
The district on the other side of the canal, which forms a kind of south-western border for the city, is home to a fascinating mixture of peoples: the whole of black Africa is gathered there, the Muslim north of the continent, Turks, Asians as well as the long-established Flemish and the French-speaking Brusselites.
It's not often you hear dialogues like this when shopping in Germany: "Are you from the Congo?", one African woman asks another at the vegetable stall. "No, I'm from Rwanda", answers the other.

Police extend search to other parts of Cheltenham in hunt for suspected terror plot clues
POLICE have widened their search in the hunt for clues to Cheltenham's suspected terror plot.
Officers admitted the investigation is now taking in other parts of the town as they try to find out how suspicious chemicals ended up in an Up Hatherley garage.
Superintendent Neil Mantle reassured residents at a packed meeting at St Margaret's Hall, in Conniston Road, by saying they were no longer in danger.
Two men, aged 52 and 31, remain in police custody after being arrested on Friday in connection with terrorism offences. It followed the discovery of suspicious items in a garage in Buttermere Close, Up Hatherley.
Officers have until tomorrow to quiz the men, after which they will have to apply for an extension to detain them further.
Almost 200 people packed the hall on Tuesday night to hear officers and council bosses talk about the investigation.
Superintendent Mantle told residents: "In terms of this community, there is no longer a threat.
"In terms of the wider community across Cheltenham, that is the focus of the rest of our investigation.
"We want to find out what and why this happened and why these items were in the location they were in."
Angry residents demanded to know more details about the men who had been arrested.
But Superintendent Mantle refused to be drawn, insisting any information could compromise a prosecution if the case reached court.
There were also calls for police to search all the garages in the block.
Superintendent Mantle said officers were satisfied there was nothing more to find in the area.
"We don't have the power to just look in people's garages. In terms of the investigation, we have done as much as we need to do," he said.
"As for any other garages, we do not have any information to give us cause for concern."
The garages are owned by the borough council, but are looked after by Cheltenham Borough Homes.
Council chief executive Andrew North, who was also at the meeting, said: "We don't have legislative powers to just walk in.
"But there is no reason why people should not show us their garages over a period of time.
"If residents do not feel safe, then we should take that seriously and persuade people to let us see what is in them."

The biggest ever independent survey of British troops, which explores the relationship between Service personnel and wider society, has been published this week.
More than 9,000 serving members of the Armed Forces and 4,000 members of the public in Britain and the US were surveyed for the new report titled 'The Armed Forces & Society: The Military in Britain through the eyes of Service personnel, employers and the public'.
The report explores how those in the Forces think they are seen by Britons, their experiences of wearing their uniforms in Britain today, and any problems they experience as a direct consequence of their service. See the full report at Related Links.

Marble Arch Beggars Move to Park Lane
Migrants moved on from Marble Arch are now in Park Lane as London is
flooded with beggars, pickpockets and prostitutes ahead of the Olympics.
It was revealed last month that "unprecedented" numbers from Romania are being shipped into the capital and dumped near the landmark.
Westminster Council claimed up to 60 people with make shift homes close to the landmark were being found each night, many had maps with a pre-allocated 'pitch' for them to work from given to them by criminal gangs in eastern Europe.
Despite being moved on it has been discovered that they are continuing to congregate in central London - with some even setting up camp in the reservation of Park Lane.
Westminster councillor Nickie Aiken said: "These people are dispersing but they are not going away. They are either camping in Park Lane or moving into South Mayfair and around Oxford Street.
"The police and council are doing all we can about this but the taxpayers are picking up the bill, mainly the cost of cleansing because they have no toilets."

Deport Rochdale child rapists, demands Hall Green MP Roger Godsiff
AN INNER city Birmingham MP has made an outspoken call for nine men responsible for abusing girls as young as 13 to be deported after serving their sentences – even if they are now British citizens.
Hall Green Labour member Roger Godsiff has written to the Home Secretary demanding tougher action after a judge sentenced the men to a total of 77 years between them.
They targeted vulnerable girls, some of them in the care of social services. He said any of the Asian men who were born overseas should be deported, even if they were now British citizens.
On sentencing at Liverpool Crown Court, Judge Gerald Clifton said the convicted men treated the girls “as though they were worthless and beyond respect”.
Mr Godsiff’s plea goes far beyond existing government policy. Ministers say they support deporting foreign criminals, meaning those that are not UK citizens, although like the last Labour government they have found this is not always easy to do in practice.
The nine men convicted in Rochdale were Muslims of Pakistani ethnic origin. Mr Godsiff said Birmingham Muslims in his constituency had led condemnation of the men.
Mr Godsiff said: “I have received a number of representations from members of the Muslim community living in my constituency who are disgusted and appalled by what these men did to vulnerable young girls and a number of them are strongly of the view that these individuals have no right to be part of British society.
He went on to say: “While I understand that those individuals who were born in this country have a legal entitlement to remain here I note that the ring leader is 59 years old and may not have been born here”.
The MP concluded: “I have sort assurances that those members of the gang who were not born in the UK but who have been allowed to come here, settle, and may have become British citizens will have their entitlement to be here and any citizenship rights removed and that they will be deported at the end of their sentences.”
In other press coverage of the trial proceedings it has been suggested that at least two of the convicted will be deported at the conclusion of their sentences.
Following the convictions, Det Chf Supt Mary Doyle of Greater Manchester Police described the defendants as “pure evil”.

Man of Asian (English for Muslim) appearance whips girls about head with his belt
TWO teenage girls were whipped about the head with a belt wielded by a scar-faced man in Mill Meadows, Henley.
The girls, aged 14 and 15, were with a group of friends on the evening of Sunday, April 15, when they were approached by a group of men.
A row broke out and one of the men attacked the girls with the belt. The teenagers were treated for their injuries at the Royal Berkshire Hospital in Reading.
Police are appealing for witnesses and have produced an E-fit image of the attacker.
Investigating officer Pc David Hawksworth said: “This was a nasty assault on two young girls, who were left in a very distressed state. We believe there were 100 to 150 people in the park area at the time and we are appealing for anyone who witnessed the assault, or who recognises the man, to come forward.”
The attacker was of Asian (English for Muslim) appearance, in his mid- twenties, about 5ft 10in and slim. He was wearing a checked top and dark jeans and had a gold chain around his neck. He had a 1cm scar below his bottom lip.

A takeaway owner who ran a brothel above his restaurant hounded girls as young as 12 to become prostitutes
Yet more Muslim Pedos running wild. The police where told about this 3 years ago by a 12 year victim
One of Azad Miah's under-age victims complained to the police about him three years before his eventual arrest, his trial heard.
His youngest victim, aged 12, said she gave up talking to the police about the takeaway owner pestering her for sex in exchange for cash because nothing was being done.
Azad Miah, 44, branded the vulnerable girls ‘fresh meat’ and harassed them over weeks and months before offering to give them drugs, alcohol or money in return for sex, a court heard.
‘Most worryingly, he would stalk some of them, following them home in particular.
When another girl refused his advances he called her ‘white trash’.
Det Con Christy Robertson, the officer who interviewed Azad Miah, said the case was probably the worst she had ever dealt with.
Det Con Robertson said she had found the case "very sad, very upsetting".
"If I'm honest, it's probably the worst case I've ever had to deal with in my 22 years of service," she said.
"To see the impact on the girls as well, and what they've said, and then parallel that with the contempt that I feel Mr Miah displayed, it's horrendous.
"I would hate for any child to have to go through that in their life."
Really then why did it take 3 years for the police to do some thing about it

Bonn, Germany: Police officer speaks out about attack by 600 armed Muslims, "new level of violence ... murder in their eyes"
Translated by Nicolai Sennels with help from the excellent Danish/Swedish blog Snaphanen.dk - from "Incident in Bonn from the perspective of a police officer":
I was present in Bonn yesterday (May 5th 2012) and I knew a lot about stone-throwing from the Left-wing demonstration against Pro-Köln in 2008. But what was thrown yesterday was incredible. That was not the problem, though: shields were handed out early. But the way the media reports completely ignore the new level of violence and only focus on the police officers injured by bottles and stones makes me sick.
I do not care how or why the pro-NRW demonstration was allowed. What we repeatedly heard from our colleagues yesterday was that the cartoons are completely legitimate and that they are also not prohibited. What happened was exactly what the drawing portrays. It shows a bomb and only a small spark is required to ignite it. Colleagues who were close to the Salafis saw their glowing hatred, they could see murder in their eyes.
Would anybody accept similar attacks and aggressiveness from the Right or Left wing protesters? These groups are also constantly provoked. Soccer fans, too. There are plenty of football fans who have an almost religious respect for their club. But Muslims are always forgiven for their violence, because violence is their mentality, it will always be understated, and the focus centers on the troublemakers. My goodness, I would have a lot of people on my conscience (mostly Muslims, by the way) if I went berserk every time someone insulted my mother. But no, we must always control our emotions, we're different, we have a different mentality. They, however, are allowed to run amok.
When it was announced over the radio that while being attacked by stones, a colleague had been wounded by gunfire, one does have his thoughts. You look at the number of opponents, and your hand touches your gun. You consider many times to draw it before your opponent does.
A few minutes later it was announced that we were attacked with knives, and I thought a colleague would shoot the perpetrators to prevent more crimes, which is what the law prescribes. In that case, things would have run off-track and maybe have had a kind of purifying effect, and the public would have noticed how serious the situation were. But now people will soon forget it and belittle the whole thing.
English language al-Qaeda training manual revealed
An English language guide for Westerners seeking to join al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula has been published, with recommendations on how to cope with the hardships and dangers of life as a jihadist.
The first section is titled "cleanliness" and says; "As for yourself, a daily shower is ideal but not possible in many cases."
The guide includes rules such as keeping clean, not using mobile phones and thinking of virgins in paradise when bomber-drones are overhead.
Described as a “must-read” source, it has emerged on the internet less shortly after it was leaked that AQAP had been penetrated by a British spy who managed to smuggle out the latest version of their “underpants bomb”.
The guide was written by Samir Khan, an American who served as the top propagandist for the Yemen-based branch of the terrorist movement, which is considered the most dangerous to the West. He was killed by a drone attack in September, alongside AQAP’s chief ideologue, Anwar al-Awlaki,
Khan writes that he had been under the impression that he would be fighting most of the time after joining. “The reality is not quite like that,” he said.
The first section is titled “cleanliness” and says: “In some cases, you will be staying with a few brothers in a tight room or house”. “In order to avoid unnecessary problems, encourage yourself and your brothers to clean the room(s) on a regular basis. As for yourself, a daily shower is ideal but not possible in many cases.”

As for yourself, a daily shower is ideal but not possible in many cases.”
“If you feel terrified,” he says. “Close your eyes and imagine yourself inside paradise. Think of your hoor [virgins] that are awaiting you as well as meeting the prophets.”
In a section apparently designed to scare western recruit into staying at home and attacking the West from there, the manual says recruits may have to sleep on “sand, rocks or grass.” Laying out the training, Khan writes: “In al-qa’idah, we don’t care about the size of your muscles, how fast you run, how strong your legs are and so on - although these things will be strengthened - but we put a special focus on ’lasting long’ and outdoing the enemy in patience.” At one camp in Afghanistan, he warns, the trainers ordered the fighters to walk around barefoot.
“In short, prepare for the worse, and hope in the best,” Khan says.
The manual says that one of the “pillars of modern day jihad” is secrecy, adding: “If I am British but of Indian descent, I tell the brothers I’m from so-and-so land (a place where you obviously not from).” The guide also says there are “certain questions you should avoid asking,” because: “The more you ask these kind of questions, the more the mujahidin and its leadership will think of you as a spy and place you on their blacklist, keeping a close watch of you.”
The al-Qaeda fighters seem to believe in black magic, with Khan writing that the “apostate” government of Saudi Arabia has individuals that “work alongside evil jinns [spirits] that spy on the mujahidin and give away their position.”

Staying Whit The Muslim Inlaws
A cruel Muslim father-in-law who kept his son’s Pakistani bride prisoner in his Bradford home and used her as his sex slave has been jailed for seven years.
The 56-year-old man took away the 22-year-old woman’s jewelery and passport and threatened to bring shame on her by forcing her to divorce if she refused to comply with his demands.
Her life was such unbearable misery that she thought about killing herself, Bradford Crown Court heard yesterday.
The man made the vulnerable woman do the housework, care for his grandchildren and bring him breakfast in bed.
Prosecutor Richard Clews said she spoke no English when she came to the UK in 2008 following an arranged marriage.
Her husband stayed out late and then stopped coming back to his parents’ home at all, leaving his bride under the power and control of her father-in-law.
He subjected her to “repeated and sustained” sexual abuse and scratched her arm with a screwdriver and burned her with an iron to reinforce his authority over her.
Mr Clews said he told her not to wear underwear to make the abuse easier. He molested her when his wife was out, after locking the house doors.
He even made her swear on the Koran not to tell anyone.
“The slavery turned into repeated, sustained sexual abuse and degradation.”
The man forced her to watch pornography and physically hurt her with his “unfaithful and disgusting activity”.

Electoral fraud - the Government is locking the back door while leaving the front door wide open
Paul Goodman’s recent ConHome article
was absolutely right: the Government mustn’t park the problem of
electoral fraud just because Boris won the Mayoral election. As has
been consistently raised by the indefatigable Cllr Peter Golds,
Britain’s electoral system is wide open to fraud. Peter has catalogued
the extent to which the abuse of our democratic system is taking place
in one London borough, and his accounts show how such practises can be
replicated anywhere. Indeed, the problem is not confined to the
nation’s capital; across the UK, electoral fraud is infecting British
politics.
It’s easy to see why. In order to acquire the right to vote in Britain, all a person needs to do is fill in a registration form and send it to their local council. Sometimes it’s even easier than that – a council employee will knock on your door between September and October and just take your details. No identification or proof of qualification is required, meaning those with no right to vote can do so .
Signing up for a postal vote is easier than ever, allowing electoral fraudsters to cast votes under fake names without even having to attend a polling station.
As
Paul highlighted, the situation has led a senior judge to say that
Britain is tolerating levels of corruption “that would disgrace a banana
republic”. Judge Richard Mawrey said in April
that the forthcoming local elections presented "enormous opportunities"
for vote-rigging and electoral fraud. So why is the Government
refusing to act?
The Government is introducing some reforms, namely individual voter registration and the inclusion of National Insurance numbers on voter registration forms. The latter is vital because individual registration alone is again based on trust, relying on people not to simply make up two, three or ten additional fake signatures to accompany the fakes names. Including National Insurance numbers is a very important step, but will not come into effect until 2014. Existing entries on the register at that point – i.e. that went on without National Insurance information – will remain on the register for two years. So the next general election will be contested on an electoral register that has not benefited from the reforms.
But these reforms would not be enough – not anywhere near enough – even if the reforms were to take effect from tomorrow. The fact is, the Government’s reforms are like locking the back door while leaving the front door wide open. The two reforms that would shut the door on electoral fraud in Britain would be to introduce the requirement for photo ID at polling stations, and reviewing postal voting on demand.
I was therefore delighted that the chair of the Electoral Commission has now called for photo ID to be demanded at all polling stations in a bid to stop voter fraud. Jenny Watson has urged the Government to change the law to “help us all be sure our voting system is safe”. This one reform, combined with reviewing postal voting on demand, would combat fake entries on the register and eliminate the potential for personation at polling stations.
Requiring ID at polling stations is already in operation in the UK. Northern Ireland began requiring photo ID at polling stations in 2003. Voters without a driving licence or passport can contact their local council and have an electoral identity card created for them (based on another form of photo ID or a declaration from their MP). The system has proven reliable and I see no reason, given the growing level of electoral fraud, for the Government not to introduce the same system across the rest of the UK.
The integrity of our electoral system must be the priority, not high turnouts. If the Government is serious about combating electoral fraud, it needs to enact serious reforms.

Signing up for a postal vote is easier than ever, allowing electoral fraudsters to cast votes under fake names without even having to attend a polling station.
It gets worse. Currently, there are no barriers to someone simply
turning up at a polling station, using someone else’s details, and being
given a ballot paper. It’s known as “personation” in electoral law.
This is because we do not require people to prove who they are when
voting. This isn’t just a possibility, it’s actually happening. It’s
happening because our electoral system is dependent on trust, and
unsurprisingly some people are content to abuse that trust.
