UK MEGAMOSQUE BACKS PERSECUTIONOF CHRISTIANS IN PAKISTAN

When Muslim leaders in the UK make it clear that they want to see the persecution of Christians in Pakistan, what do they intend for the Christians and other non-Muslims in the UK? It's a very good question that we all ought to think about.

Asia Bibi is a defenseless Pakistani Christian woman who was maliciously accused of “blasphemy” by her Muslim neighbors. They did this to settle a score after she committed the other “crime,” as a non-Muslim, of drinking water from the same cup as them. Asia was sentenced by Pakistan’s courts to death by hanging in 2010. She languishes in jail awaiting execution until this day. So far, so obscene.

Islamic studies teacher accused of helping two Muslims join the Islamic State

The British authorities from David Cameron on down should ponder the implications of the fact that an Islamic studies teacher may have helped two Muslims join the Islamic State — you know, that thing that they all insist has nothing whatsoever to do with Islam.

Immigrants with many wives stand to make substantial financial gains under looming changes to Britain’s welfare system.

Polygamous marriages, which form a common thread in Islam, are recognised in Britain but only if they take place in countries where they are legal. Now a House of Commons library paper, published earlier this month, has highlighted a loophole that will allow additional wives coming to the UK to claim a full single person’s allowance while the husband and his first wife still receive their respective benefits.

By Martin Evans, Crime Correspondent

The key suspect in the hunt for the new ‘Jihadi John’ was able to travel to Syria with his wife and four children under the noses of the security services, despite being on bail for alleged terrorism offences, it has emerged.

The family of British Muslim convert, Siddhartha Dhar, last night admitted that the killer seen shooting a prisoner in the head in the latest Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (Isil) video, could be the 32-year-old former bouncy castle salesman from east London.

Siddhartha Dhar's family have identified him as the Isil killer

Both his mother and sister said they had watched the video, released by Isil on Sunday, and noticed similarities between the voice of the masked Jihadi and Dhar.

Dhar, who is also known as Abu Rumasayah, was arrested in September 2014 alongside the preacher Anjem Choudary on suspicion of belonging to the banned group Al-Muhajiroun.

The difference between Isis and Saudi Arabia

Since a Twitter user compared Saudi Arabia’s decision to execute a poet to Isis' punishments people have been likening the Arab country to the extremist regime

Alexandra Sims

A Twitter storm sparked by a user comparing Saudi Arabia’s decision to execute a poet to punishments carried out by Isis, has led the Kingdom to threaten to sue anyone who describes it as “Isis-like”.

Since the comparison, hundreds have invited the country to sue them with the hashtag #SueMeSaudi and have further likened the Arab country to Isis’ regime.

Is there a difference, then, between the sovereign state – an ally of Britain and the US - and the extremist terror group?

France: Muslim screaming “Allahu akbar” tries to run down soldiers guarding mosque

JANUARY 1, 2016

This was initially reported, predictably enough, as an attack on the mosque itself, as if some greasy Islamophobe had been behind the wheel. The reality is less surprising but more inconvenient for mainstream media mythmaking.
