Scary: Radical Islam Is Completely Taking Over Europe. See Why America Could Be Next

Geert Wilders — August 7, 2014

(Editor’s note: In a generation or two, the US will ask itself: “Who lost Europe?” Here is the speech of Geert Wilders, Chairman of the Party for Freedom the Netherlands, at the Four Seasons in New York, introducing an Alliance of Patriots and announcing the Facing Jihad Conference in Jerusalem.)

Dear friends,

Thank you very much for inviting me.

I come to America with a mission. All is not well in the old world. There is a tremendous danger looming, and it is very difficult to be optimistic. We might be in the final stages of the Islamization of Europe. This not only is a clear and present danger to the future of Europe itself; it is a threat to America and the sheer survival of the West. The United States is the last bastion of Western civilization, facing an Islamic Europe.

First, I will describe the situation on the ground in Europe. Then, I will say a few things about Islam. To close, I will tell you about a meeting in Jerusalem.

The Europe you know is changing.

You have probably seen the landmarks. But in all of these cities, sometimes a few blocks away from your tourist destination, there is another world. It is the world of the parallel society created by Muslim mass-migration.

All throughout Europe, a new reality is rising: entire Muslim neighborhoods where very few indigenous people reside or are even seen. And if they are, they might regret it. This goes for the police as well. It’s the world of head scarves, where women walk around in figureless tents, with baby strollers and a group of children. Their husbands, or slaveholders if you prefer, walk three steps ahead. With mosques on many street corners. The shops have signs you and I cannot read. You will be hard-pressed to find any economic activity. These are Muslim ghettos controlled by religious fanatics. These are Muslim neighborhoods, and they are mushrooming in every city across Europe. These are the building-blocks for territorial control of increasingly larger portions of Europe , street by street, neighborhood by neighborhood, city by city.

There are now thousands of mosques throughout Europe . With larger congregations than there are in churches. And in every European city, there are plans to build super-mosques that will dwarf every church in the region. Clearly, the signal is: we rule.

Many European cities are already one-quarter Muslim: just take Amsterdam, Marseille, and Malmo in Sweden. In many cities, the majority of the under-18 population is Muslim. Paris is now surrounded by a ring of Muslim neighborhoods. Mohammed is the most popular name among boys in many cities.

In some elementary schools in Amsterdam, the farm can no longer be mentioned because that would also mean mentioning the pig, and that would be an insult to Muslims.

Many state schools in Belgium and Denmark only serve halal food to all pupils. In once-tolerant Amsterdam, gays are beaten up almost exclusively by Muslims. Non-Muslim women routinely hear ‘whore, whore.’ Satellite dishes are not pointed to local TV stations, but to stations in the country of origin.

In France, schoolteachers are advised to avoid authors deemed offensive to Muslims, including Voltaire and Diderot; the same is increasingly true of Darwin. The history of the Holocaust can no longer be taught because of Muslim sensitivity.

In England, sharia courts are now officially part of the British legal system. Many neighborhoods in France are no-go areas for women without head scarves. Last week, a man almost died after being beaten up by Muslims in Brussels because he was drinking during the Ramadan.

Jews are fleeing France in record numbers, on the run for the worst wave of anti-Semitism since World War II. French is now commonly spoken on the streets of Tel Aviv and Netanya, Israel. I could go on forever with stories like this. Stories about Islamization.

San Diego University recently calculated that a staggering 25 percent of the population in Europe will be Muslim just 12 years from now. Bernhard Lewis has predicted a Muslim majority by the end of this century.

Now these are just numbers. And the numbers would not be threatening if the Muslim immigrants had a strong desire to assimilate. But there are few signs of that. The Pew Research Center reported that half of French Muslims see their loyalty to Islam as greater than their loyalty to France. One-third of French Muslims do not object to suicide attacks. The British Centre for Social Cohesion reported that one-third of British Muslim students are in favor of a worldwide caliphate. Muslims demand what they call ‘respect’. And this is how we give them respect. We have Muslim official state holidays.

The Christian-Democratic attorney general is willing to accept sharia in the Netherlands if there is a Muslim majority. We have cabinet members with passports from Morocco and Turkey.

Muslim demands are supported by unlawful behavior, ranging from petty crimes and random violence, for example, against ambulance workers and bus drivers, to small-scale riots. Paris has seen its uprising in the low-income suburbs, the banlieus. I call the perpetrators ‘settlers’ because that is what they are. They do not come to integrate into our societies; they come to integrate our society into their Dar-al-Islam. Therefore, they are settlers.

Much of this street violence I mentioned is directed exclusively against non-Muslims, forcing many native people to leave their neighborhoods, their cities, their countries. Moreover, Muslims are now a swing vote not to be ignored.

The second thing you need to know is the importance of Mohammed the prophet. His behavior is an example to all Muslims and cannot be criticized. Now, if Mohammed had been a man of peace, let us say like Ghandi and Mother Theresa wrapped in one, there would be no problem. But Mohammed was a warlord, a mass murderer, a pedophile, and had several marriages – at the same time. Islamic tradition tells us how he fought in battles, how he had his enemies murdered and even had prisoners of war executed. Mohammed himself slaughtered the Jewish tribe of Banu Qurayza. If it is good for Islam, it is good. If it is bad for Islam, it is bad.

Let no one fool you about Islam being a religion. Sure, it has a god, and a here-after, and 72 virgins. But in its essence, Islam is a political ideology. It is a system that lays down detailed rules for society and the life of every person. Islam wants to dictate every aspect of life. Islam means ‘submission’. Islam is not compatible with freedom and democracy because what it strives for is sharia. If you want to compare Islam to anything, compare it to communism or national-socialism; these are all totalitarian ideologies.

Now you know why Winston Churchill called Islam ‘the most retrograde force in the world’, and why he compared Mein Kampf to the Quran. The public has wholeheartedly accepted the Palestinian narrative, and sees Israel as the aggressor. I have lived in this country and visited it dozens of times. I support Israel, first, because it is the Jewish homeland after two thousand years of exile up to and including Auschwitz , second because it is a democracy, and third because Israel is our first line of defense.

This tiny country is situated on the fault line of jihad, frustrating Islam’s territorial advance. Israel is facing the front lines of Jihad, like Kashmir, Kosovo, the Philippines, Southern Thailand, Darfur in Sudan, Lebanon, and Aceh in Indonesia . Israel is simply in the way, the same way West-Berlin was during the Cold War.

*The war against Israel is not a war against Israel. It is a war against the West. It is Jihad. Israel is simply receiving the blows that are meant for all of us. If there would have been no Israel, Islamic imperialism would have found other venues to release its energy and its desire for conquest. Thanks to Israeli parents who send their children to the army and lay awake at night, parents in Europe and America can sleep well and dream, unaware of the dangers looming.

Many in Europe argue in favor of abandoning Israel in order to address the grievances of our Muslim minorities. But if Israel were, God forbid, to go down, it would not bring any solace to the West. It would not mean our Muslim minorities would all of a sudden change their behavior and accept our values. On the contrary, the end of Israel would give enormous encouragement to the forces of Islam. They would, and rightly so, see the demise of Israel as proof that the West is weak, and doomed.

The end of Israel would not mean the end of our problems with Islam, but only the beginning. It would mean the start of the final battle for world domination. If they can get Israel, they can get everything. So-called journalists volunteer to label any and all critics of Islamization as a ‘right-wing extremists’ or ‘racists’. In my country, the Netherlands, 60 percent of the population now sees the mass immigration of Muslims as the number one policy mistake since World War II. And another 60 percent sees Islam as the biggest threat.

Yet there is a greater danger than terrorist attacks, the scenario of America as the last man standing. The lights may go out in Europe faster than you can imagine. An Islamic Europe means a Europe without freedom and democracy, an economic wasteland, an intellectual nightmare, and a loss of military might for America – as its allies will turn into enemies, enemies with atomic bombs. With an Islamic Europe, it would be up to America alone to preserve the heritage of Rome, Athens, and Jerusalem.

Dear friends, liberty is the most precious of gifts. My generation never had to fight for this freedom; it was offered to us on a silver platter, by people who fought for it with their lives. All throughout Europe, American cemeteries remind us of the young boys who never made it home, and whose memory we cherish. My generation does not own this freedom; we are merely its custodians. We can only hand over this hard-won liberty to Europe’s children in the same state in which it was offered to us. We cannot strike a deal with mullahs and imams. Future generations would never forgive us. We cannot squander our liberties. We simply do not have the right to do so.

We have to take the necessary action now to stop this Islamic stupidity from destroying the free world that we know.

[Editor’s Note: This does not necessarily entail the beliefs, thoughts, or theories of the local Act chapters or the National Act office…they are my beliefs, thoughts and/or theories. I agree with Geert whole heartedly, with one slight difference…the Muslim war against Israel is based on the spirit world…I am not talking about “ghosts” as the spirit world, I am talking about satan, the fallen angel, and his evil fallen angel minions…Satan wants to try and make God a liar by killing His chosen people, the Jews…that is why every Muslim is taught to hate Jews no matter what…that is why Hamas keeps violating the ceasefires…because they do not want to have peace with Israel, they want to try and destroy the Jews, as per what satan, or, realistically, their false god allah (the one and the same entity).

Now, Islam is quickly taking over the earth…I do agree with Muslims, they will be dominant and their mahdi, or, in the Biblical sense, the anti-Christ will push Islam off on everyone (the Bible tells us this in symbolism and context), contrary to what a lot think and have been mislead into thinking the AC will be the Pope, or of European decent, the AC will be of Muslim decent and will, with the help of the Book of Revelation’s false prophet (the current Pope) will push Chrislam off…so Islam will take over the world within the next few years, and America, with its current president and Muslim Brotherhood infiltrated cabinet, is quickly being prepped to accept it]

The Salafi Crusades

Sunday, December 09, 2012

Posted by Daniel Greenfield @ the Sultan Knish blog

Empires leave behind a mess when they leave. And that mess acts as the building blocks of a new empire. One empire falls and another rises in its place. It’s an old story and it is what we are seeing in the Middle East.

The Islamist resurgence was fed by the collapse of two world powers, the USSR and the US. The fall of the Soviet Union robbed the Arab Socialist dictatorships of their support. The last of these, Syria, is now under siege, by Sunni Islamist militias after becoming an Iranian Shiite puppet.

Egypt’s Sadat had made the move to the American camp early enough to avoid the fate of Syria or Iraq, but instead his successor, Mubarak, encountered the fate of the Shah of Iran. With the fall of Egypt, Syria is the last major Arab Socialist holdout, and if it falls, then the Middle East will have shifted decisively into the Salafi column.

Unlike the Soviet Union, the United States has not actually collapsed, but its international influence is completely gone. Bush was accused of many things, but impotence wasn’t one of them. Obama however gave the Taliban a premature victory with a pullout deadline, ineptly waffled over the Iranian and Arab protests, before eventually getting on board with the latter, and allowed the UK and French governments to drag him into a poorly conceived regime change operation in Libya.

The Palestine UN vote, China’s South China Sea aggression and Karzai’s growing belligerence were just more reminders that no one really cared what the United States thought anymore. America had ceased to matter internationally as a great power. It still dispensed money, but its government had become an inept tail being wagged by Europe and the United Nations.

The loss of American influence was felt most notably in the Middle East, where its former oil patrons took the opportunity to back a series of Salafi crusades, the political Islamist version of which was known as the Arab Spring. The rise of political Islamists in democratic elections was however only one component of a regional strategy that depended as much on armed militias as on the ballot box.

In Egypt, protests followed by elections were enough to allow the Salafis, a category that includes the Muslim Brotherhood, to take over. That was also true in Tunisia. In Libya, a new American client, the government put up a fight, little realizing that Obama wasn’t Putin, but a horrible mash up of Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton and Henry Wallace. Instead of getting American backing, Gaddafi got American bombs, and the Islamist militias, armed and funded by Qatar with Obama’s blessing, got Libya. In Benghazi they repaid the help they received from Obama and Stevens by humiliating the former and murdering the latter.

In Syria, the Muslim Brotherhood’s militias are racing the Al-Qaeda linked militias to the finish line in Damascus, while Western pundits prattle reassuringly about a moderate and secular Syrian opposition, which is as moderate and secular as Egypt’s Morsi.

The regional snapshot of the Arab Spring isn’t reform, but a land rush as secular governments affiliated with Russia and the United States fall, to be replaced by believers in an emerging Islamist Caliphate. The Arab Spring isn’t 1848; it’s 638, the Mohamedan expansion at the expense of the ailing Byzantine Empire, a rampage that eventually ended in the Islamization of the Middle East. For Salafis, this is their opportunity to Re-Islamize the Middle East under the full force of Islamic law.

The Muslim world does not keep time by European progressive calendars. It isn’t out to recreate the republican revolutions that secularized and nationalized Europe; rather it is trying to undo the secondhand European effects of those revolutions on the Middle East. The left is celebrating this as a triumph for anti-imperialism, but it’s just a matter of replacing one empire with another.

Muslim imperialism and colonialism were far more brutal and ruthless, as the Indians could tell you, and if the Salafis have their way, and they are having their way for the moment, it will be the beginning of a new wave of global conquests, with old sheiks using oil money from the decadent West to outfit militias of young men with top quality American and Russian weapons before sending them off to die, while they wait for news of the new caliphate and bed down with their eight wife.

This isn’t an entirely new game. Bin Laden was playing it for decades and Salafi crusaders have been fighting the Ottoman Empire and massacring Shiites for centuries. The notion of them extending their power into Cairo would have been absurd, but for the collapse of the Ottoman Empire and the backlash from the efforts to modernize its former major cities which created a modernized Islamist movement inspired by Nazi politics and funded by Nazi money. A movement that we know as the Muslim Brotherhood. It took the Brotherhood a good 80 years, but they finally took Cairo.

The notion of the Salafis threatening the Middle East and the whole world would have been even more absurd if American oil companies hadn’t rewarded their tribal allies with inconceivable wealth while turning a blind eye to their ambitions. And the notion that the Salafi crusade would ever extend to Europe would have been even more absurd, if not for the jet plane and the liberal immigration policies of Socialist governments with aging populations looking for a tax base and a voting base.

The Salafis, despite their feigned obsession with the purity of the desert, have piggybacked their conquests entirely on Western technologies and policies, from the wire transfer to the jet plane to the cell phone to liberal political correctness and Third Worldism. The Salafi crusades were never any match for 19th Century policies and weapons, except in the occasional brief conflict. But they are a match for 21st Century policies and the accompanying unwillingness to use the full force of modern weaponry on people that a century ago would have been considered bloody savages, but today are considered potential peace partners.

Declining empires want stability without war and they are willing to cut a deal with anyone on the way up who has a large enough army and will promise to keep the peace. In that way, the imperialism of the Post-American politician is a good deal like Eisenhower’s foreign policy. The difference is that a British Prime Minister in the 1930s or an American President in the 1950s picked their battles, while their contemporary successors allow their battles to pick them and then surrender preemptively.

Carter’s Green Belt strategy hoped to build a wall of Islamist governments to keep the Soviet Union out of the Middle East. The Soviet Union is dead but the Green Belt strategy has been revived by Obama in the hopes of using political Salafis willing to run for office to hold down the Salafist militias willing to kill everything that moves. It’s hard to imagine a more decadent strategy than trying to outsource your defense policy to the least evil of your enemies, but variations on that theme have been the American defense strategy since the Salafi terror attacks of September 11.

After a decade of trying to divide the Islamist sheep from the Islamist goats, feeding billions to Pakistan to fight terror, extraditing Gitmo terrorists to revolving door rehabilitation programs run by Saudi Arabia, setting up a Palestinian state, making nice to Muslim Brotherhood front groups at home and then setting up the Muslim Brotherhood with a few choice countries of their own in the Middle East; the United States is less secure than ever for trying to appease its way out of the Salafi crusade.

Handing over Egypt and Tunisia to the Islamists earned us a new wave of attacks on September 11, 2012. What handing over Syria to the Muslim Brotherhood will get us, assuming that “our” Salafis will even be able to beat out the other Salafis who want to skip elections and move straight to the hand-and-head-chopping and Christian genocide, can only be imagined.

But Western leaders have a long history of misreading the Muslim world by assuming that Muslim leaders want what good European and American liberals do. Instead Muslim leaders want the sort of things that even few European right wingers want anymore.

Understanding the Salafi crusades means imagining a society where Anders Behring Breivik wasn’t a deluded madman fantasizing about an international network of knights waiting to carry out acts of terror in a war to seize control of Europe and murder millions, but where he and his ideas were mainstream enough that billionaires would fund them and tens of thousands of young men would go to carry them out while television shows and preachers cheered them as martyrs.

Europeans, of course, shudder at the idea, but they have brought those tens of thousands of Breiviks into their own societies through Muslim immigration and Saudi and Iranian mosques. And they have turned over the Middle East to the sort of men who make Breivik look like a schoolboy.

One of the men pardoned by Morsi, the new Muslim Brotherhood president of Egypt, was Mostafa Hamza, the head of The Islamic Group, an organization that was responsible for the Luxor Massacre of foreign tourists. The Luxor Massacre consisted of an hour of torture, mutilation and murder that would have sickened even Breivik. But what is an incomprehensible atrocity to the Western mind is an act of courage and bravery to the Muslim mind. And it is on such atrocities that the Salafi crusades build their caliphate of blood and bone.

The Salafi crusades follow those rules and we saw them in action on September 11. We can see them in action in Nigeria where Boko Haram terrorists blow up churches and in Mali where Salafi fighters chop off the hands of thieves and give teenage girls 100 lashes for talking to boys on the street. We can see them in action in Aleppo where the bodies of tortured priests turn up and in Israel where their terrorists’ fire rockets from the shade of schools and hospitals.

The Salafi political victories, militia victories and terror attacks are all part of the same phenomenon, and it is about time that we confronted it for what it is. War is politics by other means and politics is war by other means. To the Salafis seizing power, by the bullet or the ballot, the one are one and the same so long as the road leads to the Islamic empire of the Caliphate. Obama’s forced decline of America has led to a new wave of Salafi conquests and the war for civilization has begun in earnest

John Bolton: Without Immunity, Assad Could Use Chemical Weapons

Homeland Security NTARC News | 12/5/2012

Former United Nations Ambassador John Bolton is warning that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad could decide to use chemical weapons if he fails to get immunity from prosecution for war crimes against his own people.

In an interview Tuesday night with Fox News’ Greta Van Susteren, Bolton described a deteriorating situation for Assad that he likened to former Libyan President Moammar Gadhafi, who did everything possible to remain in power until he was killed by rebels.

[Once again, the Muslim Brotherhood is trying to get more control by starting a civil war in Syria…they took over Egypt, in the process of taking control of Libya (after it got rid of Gadhafi) after it caused a civil war, working on taking control of Jordan by intimidation currently, starting to focus on the United Arab Emirates and all the Gulf countries, and working with the Palestinians through one of their created terrorist groups Hamas, trying to take over America through their Trojan horse and Muslim Brotherhood advocate (Obama) and his large Muslim cabinet and the initial attack on America through another one of their terrorist groups, Al Qaeda, whom the Trojan horse has sent help to aid them within conquering Libya and now starting to help with the Syrian civil war. The anti-Christ is coming quickly and America needs to repent of their hard heartedness against the true God, and not allah (actually Ba’al in pre-Islamic times). The Muslim Brotherhood had put forth their intentions to take over the world with their Strategic Memorandum they drafted in 1991, and their underground Project they drafted in 1982.]

About that so-called ‘Palestinian’ state for the Arab occupiers of Israel…

Posted on 30 Nov 12 by BNI

Funny how the Arabs and the Palestinians claim that Israel occupied their country. Truth shows that, in actuality, on 29 Nov 1947, the British put the future of western Palestine into the hands of the United Nations, the successor organization to the League of Nations which had established the Mandate for Palestine. A UN Commission recommended partitioning what was left of the original Mandate – western Palestine – into two new states, one Jewish and one Arab.1 Jerusalem and its surrounding villages were to be temporarily classified as an international zone belonging to neither polity.  

 What resulted was Resolution 181 [known also as the 1947 Partition Plan], a non-binding recommendation to partition Palestine, whose implementation hinged on acceptance by both parties – Arabs and Jews. The resolution was adopted on November 29, 1947 in the General Assembly by a vote of 33-12, with 10 abstentions. Among the supporters were the United States and the Soviet Union, as well as other nations including France and Australia. The Arab nations, including Egypt, Syria, Iraq, and Saudi Arabia denounced the plan on the General Assembly floor and voted as a bloc against Resolution 181 promising to defy its implementation by force.

The resolution recognized the need for immediate Jewish statehood (and a parallel Arab state), but the blueprint for peace became a moot issue when the Arabs refused to accept it. Subsequently, de facto [In Latin: realities] on the ground in the wake of Arab aggression (and Israel’s survival) became the basis for UN efforts to bring peace.

Aware of Arabs‟ past aggression, Resolution 181, in paragraph C, calls on the Security Council to:

“Determine as a threat to the peace, breach of the peace or act of aggression, in accordance with Article 39 of the Charter, any attempt to alter by force the settlement envisaged by this resolution.” [emphasis by editor]

The ones who sought to alter the settlement envisioned in Resolution 181 by force, were the Arabs who threatened bloodshed if the United Nations was to adopt the Resolution:

“The [British] Government of Palestine fear that strife in Palestine will be greatly intensified when the Mandate is terminated, and that the international status of the United Nations Commission will mean little or nothing to the Arabs in Palestine, to whom the killing of Jews now transcends all other considerations. Thus, the Commission will be faced with the problem of how to avert certain bloodshed on a very much wider scale than prevails at present. … The Arabs have made it quite clear and have told the Palestine government that they do not propose to co-operate or to assist the Commission, and that, far from it, they propose to attack and impede its work in every possible way. We have no reason to suppose that they do not mean what they say.” [emphasis by editor]

Arabs‟ intentions and deeds did not fare better after Resolution 181 was adopted:

“Taking into consideration that the Provisional Government of Israel has indicated its acceptance in principle of a prolongation of the truce in Palestine; that the States members of the Arab League have rejected successive appeals of the United Nations Mediator, and of the Security Council in its resolution 53 (1948) of 7 July 1948, for the prolongation of the truce in Palestine; and that there has consequently developed a renewal of hostilities in Palestine.”

The conclusion:

“Having constituted a Special Committee and instructed it to investigate all questions and issues relevant to the problem of Palestine, and to prepare proposals for the solution of the problem, and having received and examined the report of the Special Committee (document A/364). … Recommends to the United Kingdom, as the mandatory Power for Palestine, and to all other Members of the United Nations the adoption and implementation, with regard to the future Government of Palestine, of the Plan of Partition with Economic Union set out below;” [emphasis by editor].

[This history lesson was taken from Myths and Facts.org. Now, the Palestinians want a country, 65 years later, however; Islamic doctrine teaches that they do not only want a state, they will insistently keep harassing and killing Jewish people because their god tells them to.

EUROPE

Bulgaria

On 18 July, six people were killed and 32 others injured when a suspected suicide bomber detonated a bomb inside his rucksack on a bus full of Israeli tourists at Burgas Airport. Amongst the casualties was the Bulgarian bus driver. The bus was carrying 42 Israelis who had arrived on a flight from Tel Aviv from the airport to their hotels. [i] Bulgarian authorities initially said that the explosion was caused by a bomb in the bus’s luggage compartment. However, further investigation determined that a male suicide bomber had carried out the attack. Some aspects of the attack seemed unusual for a suicide attack: the attacker was carrying false US documents and wearing a wig, which may have indicated that he wished to disguise his identity to evade being caught after escaping the scene of the attack, suggesting that he may not have intended this to be a suicide mission. It was also strange that he was carrying identification with his photograph, as suicide attackers do not usually carry identification. [ii] CCTV footage showed the unidentified bomber, who had a Western appearance, wandering around the airport terminal building for over an hour before he boarded the bus. CCTV clearly showed the suspect carrying an oversized bag that, in hindsight, security officials believe contained three kilograms of TNT explosives. Police did not identify the suspect but said he was 36 years old, and had been in the country between four and seven days before the attack. [iii] Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu blamed Iran for the attack, and linked the attacker to Hezbollah. A senior Israeli official said that the attack was part of an intensive wave of terrorist attacks around the world carried out by the Iranian Quds Force, an elite international operations unit within Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards, and by Hezbollah. [iv] On 21 July, a previously-unknown terrorist group allegedly tied to global jihad and calling itself Base of Jihad [Qaedat Al-Jihad] sent a statement to local media claiming responsibility for the attack; this claim was not verified by the Bulgarian Foreign Ministry. [v] Bulgarian security authorities were reportedly searching for additional suspects involved in the bombing. [vi] The explosion coincided with the 18th anniversary of an attack on a Jewish community centre in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in which 85 people were killed.[vii]

Cyprus

On 7 July, a 24-year-old Swedish citizen of Lebanese origin was arrested in the southern city of Limassol in connection with gathering information on Israeli flights to Cyprus and bus tours catering to Israeli tourists. [viii] Cyprus state television said the authorities had acted on an intelligence tip from Israeli agents. Police believe the suspect arrived on the island on 5 July to plan and orchestrate the blowing up of a plane or a bus. Cypriot security forces raided the suspect’s hotel and arrested him in his room. According to local media, detailed notes about Israeli aircraft were found in the suspect’s possession. [ix] Initially, the arrest was not made public; the suspect was brought before a local court in a closed hearing that extended his detention for five days. His detention was again extended in a second court hearing, this time for a week. According to local media, the suspect initially denied any involvement in terrorist activity, but after intensive questioning admitted to being a member of Hezbollah. [x] Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu blamed Iran for the foiled attack. [xi]

France

On 4 July, ETA member Juan Maria Mugica was arrested as he was driving a car in the town of Mauleon, in southwest France. He was not armed and offered no resistance. He was allegedly linked to a planned missile attack on former Spanish Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar in 2001. [xii] Mugica had previously escaped a police raid in 2010 in Lizarta, in Spain’s Basque region, in which the ETA cell of which Murgica was a member was dismantled. The cell was suspected of transporting material for attacks, including a missile from France to the Spanish town of Hernani. According to the Spanish Interior Ministry, the cell’s leaders had ordered Mugica to fire the missile at a plane carrying Prime Minister Aznar to Bilbao, but the attack never took place. Since 2010, a European arrest warrant had been pending for Mugica for his membership in ETA and for possessing weapons and explosives. [xiii]

Kosovo

On 3 July, five people whose identities were not released to the public were arrested on terrorism charges. They were accused of attacking a Serbian police checkpoint at the eastern boundary between Kosovo and Serbia on 28 June 2012, wounding one Serbian policeman lightly. The suspects, all citizens of Kosovo, were arrested by European police. Two of the suspects remained in custody while the other three were divested of their travel documents and ordered to report regularly to police. [xiv]

United Kingdom

On 5 July, five men and a woman were arrested in London on suspicion of committing, preparing, or instigating acts of terrorism. Eight residences and one business were searched in the raid, [xv] which was carried out by counter-terrorism officers and MI5 agents investigating a suspected plot against targets in Britain (not threatening the Olympic or Paralympic Games). [xvi] Three of the men, brothers named Jahangir Alom, 26, Mohammed Alomgir, 24, and Moybur Alom, 18 – were seized at an address in East London.  [xvii] The eldest, Jahangir, who also uses the alias Abu Khalid, was a Metropolitan community support officer between May 2007 and September 2009. In 2010, he appeared in a YouTube video to explain why he had stopped being a police officer and had become an Islamic fundamentalist. Mohammed Alomgir, 24, was zapped with a police Taser gun during the arrest, but did not require hospital treatment. Scotland Yard said armed officers had been deployed during the arrest, an unusual tactic indicative of the risk counter-terrorism chiefs thought officers faced in detaining the suspects. [xviii] Another man, identified as Richard Dart, 29, a Muslim convert who uses the name Salahuddin Al-Britani, was arrested by police officers on the street in Ealing, West London – an atypical move. Dart had been radicalized by Muslim cleric Anjem Choudary, and was known to authorities for supporting the implementation of Shari’a [Islamic law] in the UK. Dart was featured in a YouTube video criticizing the Royal Family and British military action in Muslim countries. [xix] Police also arrested a 21-year-old man and a woman, 30, at separate residences. [xx] On 6 July, a seventh suspect – a woman, 22, was arrested in East London under the Terrorism Act 2000 on suspicion of the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism. [xxi]

British traffic police routinely stopped a car on 30 June 2012 on the M1 motorway after becoming suspicious that it was being driven without insurance. The driver and passenger were released, but the vehicle was impounded and taken for investigation. Two days later, on 2 July, investigators discovered firearms and ammunition hidden inside the car; this led to a major anti-terrorism operation. On 3 July, three men in their 20s, the driver and passenger apparently among them, were arrested in Birmingham. Three further arrests were made across the West Midlands on 4 July. Finally, on 5 July, a seventh man, 43, was arrested in West Yorkshire. Police said they had recovered two non-automatic guns and a small amount of ammunition. It is not clear whether a terrorist attack was imminent, but police believe the plot had progressed beyond the planning stage. Police said the arrests were not connected to the Olympics, nor were they linked to the arrests made in London on the same day. [xxii] On 10 July, the three men arrested in Birmingham were accused under the Terrorism Act 2006 in Westminster magistrates’ court of preparing an act or acts of terrorism, including manufacturing an improvised explosive device and acquiring firearms, other weapons, and vehicles connected with an alleged plan to target the anti-Islamic group, the English Defense League. [xxiii] The men were identified as Jewel Uddin, 26, Omar Mohammed Khan, 27, and Mohammed Hasseen, 23. [xxiv] On 31 July, Uddin, Khan and Hasseen appeared along with Anzal Hussain, 24, and Mohammed Saud and Zohaib Ahmed, both 22, via video link for a preliminary hearing at the Old Bailey, at which they were charged under Section 5(1) of the Terrorism Act 2006 of preparing an act or acts of terrorism between 1 May and 4 July 2012, including the manufacture of an improvised explosive device, the acquisition of firearms and other weapons, and the purchase of motor vehicles connected with the charges. The men spoke only to confirm their identities and were remanded in custody ahead of a hearing in January 2013. [xxv]

On 15 July, armed police in Edinburgh arrested ETA militant Benat Atorrasagasti Ordonez, 36, after more than 10 years as a fugitive. According to Spain’s Interior Ministry, Atorrasagasti Ordonez, who had been on Spain’s most-wanted list since 2008, had been living in a rented property in Edinburgh with his family for ‘some time’. Authorities claimed that Atorrasagasti Ordonez, originally from San Sebastian, joined ETA in 1996, forging documents and smuggling people and weapons between France and Spain. [xxvi] A statement from the Spanish Interior Ministry said Atorrasagasti Ordonez went on the run in 2001, after the Civil Guard broke up the cell with which he was affiliated. After escaping to France that year, he joined ETA there. His fingerprints have been found on material taken in several police raids; in 2008, he was sentenced in absentia to five years in prison by a court in Paris. [xxvii] His arrest was a joint operation of Spain’s Civil Guard and Lothian and Borders Police. [xxviii]

On 17 July, Shasta Khan, 38, was jailed for eight years after being convicted of conspiring with her husband Mohammed Sajid Khan to bomb Jewish targets in Manchester. [xxix] She appeared at Manchester Crown Court, where she was convicted of engaging in preparation for acts of terrorism and two counts of possessing a record of information likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism. She denied the charges. Her husband pleaded guilty to engaging in preparation for acts of terrorism, and was given an indeterminate sentence, of which he must serve a minimum of seven and a half years before he can be considered eligible for parole. [xxx] In July 2011, authorities discovered a cache of terrorism-related material after being called to a domestic dispute at the couple’s home. [xxxi] The couple was allegedly radicalized in 2010-2011 by Al-Qaeda’s Internet propaganda, such as the English-language Inspire magazine, which regularly prints instructions for bomb assembly. Police said the couple had carried out “multiple reconnaissance” trips to the Jewish community, but had yet to choose a specific target. [xxxii]

AFRICA

Kenya

On 1 July, masked militants armed with grenades and rifles carried out a coordinated attack on two churches in the northern city Garissa, killing 17 people and injuring 60 others. [xxxiii] Police said seven gunmen carried out the attack; all of them managed to escape arrest. In the first attack, two policemen were shot outside one of the churches, and grenades were then thrown inside. As the worshippers tried to escape the gunmen fired on them, killing at least ten people. Then, in the second attack, three people were injured when two grenades were thrown inside a second church. One grenade exploded, causing injuries, but the second grenade failed to explode. No group claimed responsibility for the attack, but authorities suspect Boko Haram. [xxxiv]

On 24 July, Ahmed Mohamed and Said Mausoud, two Iranian terrorism suspects accused of being in possession of 15kg of RDX explosives, went on trial in Nairobi. The men were arrested on 20 June 2012 in Mombasa on suspicion of planning to detonate as many as 30 different bombs targeting British, US, Israeli, and Saudi interests, including prominent commercial and government buildings across Kenya. Both men denied the charges against them. According to Kenyan authorities, the suspects did admit membership in the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Quds Force. Although it initially released the suspects on bail, the Nairobi court cancelled bail at the request of the state prosecutor; the suspects have been remanded pending the conclusion of their trial. [xxxv]

MIDDLE EAST

Iraq

On 3 July, a string of deadly attacks occurred throughout Iraq. [xxxvi] In Diwaniyah, a truck with a powerful bomb hidden in its cargo of watermelons exploded near a Shiite mosque, killing 40 people and injuring more than 100 others. In Karbala, a holy Shiite city in the south, two homemade “sticky bombs” were attached to two parked vehicles and detonated separately in a vegetable market, killing six people and wounding more than 29 others. Authorities announced a partial curfew, and said they had blocked all entrances to the city as they searched for more explosives. [xxxvii] In Taji, north of Baghdad, explosions killed two and wounded more than 15 others. Near the city of Baquba, Diyala Province, gunmen killed a soldier and police officer; later, the bodies of two people who had been shot in the head were found in a field. [xxxviii]

On 23 July, a series of deadly attacks occurred throughout Iraq, killing approximately 113 people and wounding 299 others. Authorities called this the worst violence since 2010. [xxxix] One of the most terrible attacks occurred when insurgents charged an army post near Dhuluiya, 45 miles north of Baghdad, killing 16 soldiers. In Taji, seven bombs were detonated, killing a total of 48 and leaving scores injured. Explosions also occurred in Sadr City, as well as in Kirkuk, Mosul, Samarra, Dujail, Khan Bani Saad City, Tuz Khormato, and Diwaniyah. Militants also attacked various army checkpoints in Diyala Province. [xl] On 25 July, The Islamic State of Iraq claimed responsibility for the attacks. [xli]

On 31 July, 19 people were killed, at least five of them policemen, and 50 were wounded, ten of them police officers, in two explosions in Baghdad. [xlii] The explosions occurred within minutes of each other in the central Shiite district of Karrada in the middle of afternoon rush hour. The first bomb exploded outside a restaurant and a bakery in Al-Andalus Square, and the second outside a court opposite a major police headquarters. Many cars in the area were destroyed. According to Iraq’s Interior Ministry, the first attack was carried out by a suicide bomber; however, local TV news channel Al-Sharqiya reported that both attacks were suicide bombings. No group claimed responsibility for the attacks, but authorities accused Al-Qaeda in Iraq and its affiliates. [xliii]

Israel and the West Bank

On 27 July, the Mujahideen Shura Council in the Environs of Jerusalem posted a video online taking responsibility for an attack on 18 June 2012.The video featured Khalid Salah Abd Al-Hadi Jadallah (aka Abu Salah Al-Masri) and Adi Saleh Abdallah Al-Fudhayli Al-Hadhl (aka Abu Hudhayfa Al-Hudhali), who said they had carried out the attack. Dressed in military attire, they are shown choosing an Israeli security patrol and a border town as the targets of their attack, which they said was meant to avenge “Muslims’ blood”; they dedicated the attack to Al-Qaeda leader Ayman Al-Zawahiri. The video also showed the attackers planning their attack using a model of the Sinai Peninsula; receiving training in bomb-making; and learning how to use live ammunition in the desert. Egyptian security officials, who offered little information about the group, said it was unclear where this training had taken place. [xliv]

Syria

On 18 July, three people were killed when a bomb exploded in the National Security Building in Damascus. Amongst those killed were three of President Assad’s senior aides; several others were injured. The building housed a research center run by the National Security Agency, one of many overlapping intelligence agencies. [xlv]

The attack occurred during a meeting of cabinet ministers and senior security officials. Syrian state media reported that Dawoud Rajiha, the Syrian Minister of Defense, was killed along with Deputy Vice President Hasan Turkmani and Assef Shawkat, Bashar al-Assad’s brother-in-law and Deputy Defence Minister. Several other senior officials were seriously injured, including Interior Minister Mohammad Ibrahim Al-Shaar and the country’s Intelligence Chief Hisham Bekhtyar, who died two days after the attack. [xlvi] The government said the attack was perpetrated by a suicide bomber who had worked as a bodyguard for members of President Bashar al-Assad’s inner circle. However, the Free Syrian Army, which claimed responsibility for the attack, said it had involved a remotely-detonated explosive. [xlvii] The group Liwa Al-Islam (Lord of the Martyrs Brigade) and the Free Syrian Army both claimed responsibility for the bombing. [xlviii]

Yemen

On 11 July, eight people were killed and 15 injured in a suicide bombing that targeted a police academy in Sanaa. [xlix] Authorities said the bomber detonated his explosives among a large crowd of cadets as they left the academy after classes had finished for the day. Initial reports put the death toll at 20, but it was later revised down. Local media said it was unclear whether the suicide bomber had been on a motorcycle or on foot, walking among the cadets. Reports added that the suicide bomber did not die immediately, but was evacuated to the hospital severely injured. According to authorities, before the bomber died he told medical staff he was affiliated with Al-Qaeda and came from Amran, a town 70 km north of Sanaa. Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) claimed responsibility for the attack. [l]

On 22 July, the Yemen Interior Ministry said it had foiled a terrorist plot against military and security installations and checkpoints, which was to have been carried out by militants disguised in military uniforms. [li] On 23 July, security forces discovered and defused a bomb at the entrance to an intelligence services building in Aden. The bomb was attached to a cell phone with an alarm timed to explode during a scheduled meeting of senior intelligence and anti-terrorism officers of the southern military region. There were no casualties, and no group took responsibility for the plot; the authorities blamed Al-Qaeda. [lii]

NORTH AMERICA

Canada

On 15 July, Quebec resident Mouna Diab, 26, renowned for fighting the stereotyping of Muslims, was charged with attempting to smuggle assault weapons to Hezbollah. [liii] She was arrested on 19 May 2011, after firearm parts were found in her luggage at Montreal Pierre-Elliott-Trudeau Airport, and charged with violating a Canadian-backed international arms embargo on Lebanon. She was also charged under Canada’s post-9/11 anti-terrorism laws with acting for “the benefit of, at the direction of, or in association with a terrorist group”. [liv] Authorities alleged that Diab had been sending firearms parts with people from her community who were traveling to Lebanon; the victims were unaware of the contents of the parcels she had given them. [lv] Diab is the first woman charged under Canada’s anti-terrorism laws. [lvi]

USA

On 31 July, Shaker Masri, 28, pleaded guilty in a New York court to membership in Somalia’s Al-Shabab Al-Mujahedeen. Masri was arrested in August 2010 as he was preparing to leave for Somalia to join Al-Shabab. He admitted to FBI agents that he had been plotting to raise the funds he needed to engage in jihad in either Somalia or Afghanistan. He also allegedly told an informant that he admired Anwar Al-Awlaki, who was killed in a US drone attack in 2011 and who was credited with inspiring the Fort Hood, Texas, shootings and the failed Christmas Day bombing of a jetliner approaching Detroit. [lvii] Masri faced a maximum of 15 years in prison, but because of his guilty plea is likely to face only 10 years in prison if convicted. The full details of his plea bargain have not been made public. Shaker Masri will be formally sentenced on 16 October 2012. [lviii]

SOUTH AMERICA

On 4 July, Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) rebels attacked an oil well in the southern Putumayo Department near the border with Ecuador, killing five workers and injuring three others. According to the Colombian Army, the five oil workers, who were contractors for the state oil company Ecopetrol, were killed by explosives and small arms fire. [lix]

ASIA

Afghanistan

On 8 July, Afghan authorities said roadside bombs and insurgent attacks killed 23 people in the Arghistan district near the Pakistani border. Amongst the casualties were 14 civilians, five policemen, and one member of the US-led international military coalition in southern Afghanistan. No group has claimed responsibility for the attack. Authorities said one bomb exploded when a minivan drove over it during the morning, and a second bomb exploded when other civilians, who were riding on a tractor, arrived to help the dead and wounded. Five policemen were killed and three others were injured while responding to a gun battle against Taliban insurgents at a checkpoint in the Musa Qala district of Helmand Province. Afghan police called for reinforcements, but the five policemen were killed when their vehicle hit a roadside bomb. The bodies of 20 insurgents were recovered from the battlefield. [lx]

On 14 July, 23 people were killed and 60 were wounded when a suicide bomber detonated his explosive belt at a wedding reception in the northern province of Samangan for the daughter of Ahmad Khan Samangani, a prominent politician. Samagani was amongst the casualties. The Taliban denied responsibility for the attack. [lxi]

Pakistan

On 6 July, 18 people were killed and two wounded when a group of men on motorcycles opened fire on three vehicles filled with travelers attempting to cross the border into Iran from Turbat, in Baluchistan Province. [lxii] Local media reported that the assailants forced the travelers to disembark before being shot. No group claimed responsibility for the attack. [lxiii]

On 12 July, nine police and prison trainee staff were killed and nine others injured by Tehrik-i-Taliban gunmen who attacked a police academy in Lahore. The victims were mainly from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa near the Afghan border. [lxiv] Approximately 10 masked gunmen reportedly arrived on motorcycles and stormed a rented building in the Rasool Park area where the trainees were staying. All those killed were training to be prison guards. The militants were armed with Kalashnikov rifles and hand grenades. [lxv] The Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan claimed responsibility, and threatened further attacks, which they said were motivated by [a desire to avenge] the poor treatment of prison detainees. [lxvi]

Philippines

On 11 July, six rubber plantation workers were killed and 27 others were injured when gunmen ambushed a vehicle transporting them to work in Sumisip, Basilan. The militants demanded an initial bribery payment of P300,000 and a monthly protection fee of P100,000, which the plantation workers were unable to pay. [lxvii] Although no group took responsibility for the attack, authorities suspected the Abu Sayyaf group. [lxviii] On 27 July, clashes that erupted when Philippine troops attacked an Abu Sayyaf encampment on Basilan Island’s Sumisip Township left 12 soldiers and four militants dead. The militants fired at an army outpost in the same township and ambushed two groups of troops sent to back up the forces there. No one was killed at the outpost, but four of the reinforcement troops were killed en route. The authorities said the militants belonged to the same group that had ambushed the workers on 11 July.

[Editor’s Note: Interesting with this report…looks like Catholics are really trying to take over the world and forcibly spread the belief in the Mother Mary to the world…oh no sorry got that wrong…it actually looks like, still historically for the last decade, Islamic Muslims…funny how that works, the Muslim Brotherhood draws up a plan to conquer the world, through violence or non-violence, and all this satanic mayhem happens in the world, but the Muslims fool the world by saying “We don’t condone terrorism”…but jihad isn’t terrorism in their thought process, because allah told them to perform jihad to force the world into coming to, and worshiping satan I mean allah. Islam, the “religion of peace”… (only if you’re a Muslim) will not hurt you because they do not “condone terrorism”. The sad thing is the general populace of the non-Muslim world is ignorant in the word play game Muslims play…an easy way to look at their thought process between terrorism and jihad is this…

You take Robinhood…he is told/commanded by the Princess, Maid Marian, through Friar Tuck (the clergy in the group) to go liberate gold from the people that are not part of the Robinhood group, Sheriff Nottingham deems this action as stealing, but, as you know the story of Robinhood, they don’t condone stealing, the do condone liberating gold for the poor people. In actuality, Robinhood and his merry men are stealing, but in their eyes, they are not, this is equivalent to Muslims committing terrorism, even though in their eyes they are not. Would the general populace of the world allow a thief to steal from them and the thief tells them they weren’t stealing, they were just trying to help you out by liberating your money so you are not tempting into spending it frivolously because he doesn’t belief in stealing? NO!, based on your intelligence, you know that he is stealing and not liberating…same with jihad. Ok, enough said, you should get the picture now in the word play.

General Eisenhower Warned Us

When I was a kid, I couldn’t understand why Eisenhower was so popular. Maybe this will explain why.

It is a matter of history That when the Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces, General Dwight Eisenhower, found the victims of the death camps he ordered all possible photographs to be taken, and for the German people from surrounding villages to be ushered through the camps and even made to bury the dead. He did this because he said in words to this effect: ‘Get it all on record now – get the films – get the witnesses -because somewhere down the road of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened’ This week, the UK debated whether to remove The Holocaust from its school curriculum because it ‘offends’ the Muslim population which claims it never occurred. It is NOT removed as yet.. However, this is a frightening portion of the fear that is gripping the world and how easily each country is giving into it. It is now more than 60 years after the Second World War in Europe ended. This e-mail is being sent as a memorial chain, in memory of the,6 million Jews, 20 million Russians, 10 million Christians, and 1,900 Catholic priests Who were ‘murdered, raped, burned, starved, beaten, experimented on and humiliated’ while the German people looked the other way! Now, more than ever, with Iran, among others, claiming the Holocaust to be a myth, it is imperative to make sure the world never forgets.   How many years will it be before the attack on the World Trade Center ‘NEVER HAPPENED’ Because it offends some Muslim in the U.S.???

SHARIA BLASPHEMY LAWS activated in America! Barack Hussein Obama bows to the Muslim world again, arrests ‘Innocence of Muslims’ filmmaker

Oh sure, they concocted a reason about the filmmaker’s alleged violation of some probation rule, but we all know this is the Muslim-in-Chief of the United States of America following orders from his Muslim benefactors, many of whom spoke at the UN this week, to punish the maker of the anti-Islam film.

Smoking Gun  The producer of the controversial anti-Islam film “Innocence of Muslims” has been arrested for violating terms of his probation and is set for an appearance this afternoon in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles.

Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, 55, is scheduled for an initial appearance before Judge Christina Snyder, who sentenced him in June 2010 following a bank fraud conviction.

Investigators have not yet provided details about how Nakoula allegedly violated probation, but it seems clear that his involvement in the “Innocence of Muslim” production is central to the government’s claim.

Included in his probation terms were prohibitions on his use of the Internet, unless he secured prior approval from his probation officer. Additionally, he was not to “use, for any purpose or in any manner, any name other than his/her true legal name or names without the prior written approval of the Probation Officer.”

While producing “Innocence of Muslims,” Nakoula repeatedly used the alias “Sam Bacile” (and other variants) in communications, online postings, and dealings with cast and crew working on the film.

Walid Shoebat alleges: Innocence of Muslims Film was Made by Terrorists

When it comes to the film Innocence of Muslims, our government and the media uses a narrative mired in contradictions and false statements provided by the filmmaker, who himself is an untrustworthy source. Court documents reveal that Nakoula Bacile Nakoula, producer of the movie Innocence of Muslims, partnered in a scheme with Eiad Salameh, my first cousin. Eiad is a Muslim terror supporter and is not an Egyptian Copt. Read More

[Editor’s Note: you guessed it…this is my opinion/view, and not necessarily that of local Act chapters or the National Office. We have here a case of Muslim prophesied “Sun of the West” in the Islamic Last Days prophecies…the “sun of the West” will be a world leader that will help strongly unite Muslims throughout the world…Is Obama doing what he can to make sure that Islamic Muslims are treated with more respect than anyone else in the world? Especially in the United States? This is a president that knew about the terrorist attacks that were going to happen the U.S. Consulate two days prior to the horrific, terroristic, Islamic event, but did nothing to it, other than post an apology the morning of the incident….hhhmmm, like he knew what their “excuse” was going to be…the movie and the American freedom of Speech…why else would he apologize for our freedom of speech rights prior to, or during the incident, before the American populace even knew about it, or about the apology?

This is not a political note…however, one must look at the facts…Obama has done nothing for the American populace globally, apologize to Muslims for American freedoms, shun our greatest ally (Israel, the primary reason we became a free nation due to their helping and financing the Revolutionary War), take out anything in government documents that say the phrase “Radical/Fanatical Islam”, destroy the American economy/dollar (this is to help with the Islamic End Times prophecy that the Americans will become an Islamic country, this would happen because the dollar will be so dead, that the interest would kill us, so we would opt for becoming a Muslim so we would not have to pay interest), cater to the Muslim Brotherhood, including going against his Constitutional Oath that he had to make when he took office…if you do the math, he is a Muslim that is trying to kill America and make it an Islamic country…You make the vote on who you want to become president next year…I report…you decide…
