Did we loose this spirit in one generation? How good if they still have this type of mentality.

They should look back and learn how we live together and practice the harmonious living in Malaysia's multi cultural society

This Merdeka Day more questions than answers - A Singapore Minister - Tharman Shanmugaratnam
Any chance of a similar personality in our cabinet? Contrast with a non English speaking ..Indon born..with a 230mil question mark!
Is our little (But Big ) neighbour mired in corruption..mired with a stagnant economy..a huge Debt burden..running on deficit..slumping currency...a nation divided by race , religion and inequities...when the real challenges are not addressed but focused on how to address the Almighty.
More treasure wasted on a bunch of people who are more enmeshed in intifadas then nation building... Is our neighbour having an illegal migrant problem? And is already a developed state..with an armed service much much more advanced then ours...able to arm twist to get returned strategic railway land...ensure water is supplied cheaply..foreign reserves far far ahead of us...has the protection of a super power..whilst we whistle in the wind about O I Cee type support.
One has risen from humble beginnings..the other has squandered its people s talents n natural resources n continues...Anybody know which of many steep cliffs our decrepit wagon is lurching towards? MSA was split into MAS n SIA in the early 70s..I still recall that split..I was in primary school..today one is a sick and poor performer with leased planes.the other a leading world class company ...with the youngest n most modern fleet.
One has nil to negligble reserves..lives of tax payer handouts, bailouts and inefficiency..the other has reserves greater then the GDP of some developing nations...flies profitably to almost every destination...Frankly ...How Did We Screw up this Badly? I haven't even touched upon the quality of our schools n institutions of higher learning..the quality of our publuc health care...the standard of safety n welfare of our citizens.
Crime statistics..the perception of a fair n efficient legal system..trampoline welfare safety net...here..what net for 35% of its popn.? Corruption index...are we even in the same Ball park? As Msian citizes...high time to stand up n Ask the Questions...can the Politicians in power since 1957 give us an Answer...? Heck its 60 years tomorrow since these people started this down slide...

UK: Primary school teacher urged Muslims to wage jihad and establish caliphate
Jihad Watch : ā€œInitially Malik was also prevented from going to marches or demonstrations at Islamic events but Mr Ikram said this would infringe on her human rights so lifted the condition.ā€
So now she can make recruits at will at such marches and demonstrations. Good thing the British authorities, as alert to the sensitivities of Islamic supremacists as ever, are so concerned about her human rights.

ā€œPrimary school teacher ā€˜urged Muslims to take up Jihad and establish global caliphate,ā€™ā€ by Andy Wells, Yahoo News UK, August 29, 2017:
A special needs primary school teacher has been suspended for allegedly encouraging Muslims to sacrifice all their money to help establish a worldwide Islamic Caliphate.
Prosecutors say that Sadia Malik, 36, promoted Islamic hate groups and urged Muslims to take up Jihad. The special education needs coordinator from Wales, is accused of sending two messages via WhatsApp with YouTube links to four videos and a website linked to banned British-born hate preacher Omar Bakri Mohammed.
One video described tactics for fighting in Syria and Iraq and another described how martyrs would still be smiling even if they had been decapitated. She was arrested along with her husband Sajid Idris, and charged with two counts of distributing terrorist material on January 28, 2014. She appeared at Westminster Magistrates’ Court today and sat outside the dock wearing a dark blue hijab and black burkha, where she spoke only to confirm her name, date of birth and address.
The court heard Malik also had links to the banned Al-Muhajiroun group, through her husband, set up by jailed hate-cleric, Anjem Choudary. Samuel Main, prosecuting, said: ā€œThe Crown say the defendant sent messages with links to videos to 12 recipients via WhatsApp. ā€œThese contained links to sites and a YouTube channel which contained extremist material, including several videos.
ā€œOne video called for Muslims to challenge the values created by society through Jihad. ā€œIt also encourage viewers to fight against the kuffar regime. ā€œAnother was titled ā€˜Rules Relating to Smiling’ and stated that even after death from being decapitated the martyr will still have a smile on his face. ā€œAnother by video entitled ā€˜Tawheed’ talked about the global Muslim population being under one caliph and creating a military wing to ensure the implementation of Sharia law.
ā€œThe Crown say the important thing is that Ms Malik distributed these videos, she furnished receivers with the keys to the warehouse to access these videos. ā€œIn addition there was one called Frontier of Islam which suggested all Muslims should sacrifice all their health and wealth for the service of their creed.
ā€œA ā€˜War Strategies’ video gave details of how tactics could be implemented in places such as Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Nigeria.ā€ Deputy Chief Magistrate Tanvir Ikram released Malik on conditional bail. One condition of her bail was not to give talks at any public event where Islam is being discussed or to distribute leaflets.
Initially Malik was also prevented from going to marches or demonstrations at Islamic events but Mr Ikram said this would infringe on her human rights so lifted the condition.

UK: Muslim refuses to stand for judge, is ordered: ā€œGet up. This is not a court of religion.ā€
Jihad Watch : Many times we have seen Muslims refusing to stand in court, because they recognize only Sharia, which they regard as divine law, as opposed to ā€œmanmade law.ā€
It is rare, however, to see a judge actually ordering one of these Islamic supremacists to stand. Is he aware that in doing so, he is forcing Ricardo McFarlane to transgress a tenet of Islam, and as such has become an ā€œIslamophobeā€? Apparently not, since he said: ā€œThat isn’t in breach of any religious principles I’m aware of.ā€
Meanwhile, British authorities should become aware of and study the fact that so many converts to Islam get the idea that their new religion makes them contemptuous of the authorities of their home country. But they won’t.
ā€œā€˜Get up. This is not a court of religion’: Judge blasts Muslim convert who refuses to stand as he faces charges of promoting sharia law in Oxford Street,ā€ by Amie Gordon, Mailonline, August 29, 2017 :
A Muslim convert accused of preaching sharia law in central London was ordered to stand up for a judge who told him: ā€˜This is not a court of religion.’ Ricardo McFarlane, 30, allegedly breached an ASBO made in February 2014, which barred him from approaching members of the public ā€˜in order to promote sharia law’.
McFarlane and a group of up to 20 other men are said to have set up a stall outside Topshop in Oxford Street on March 25 last year and called for strict Islamic laws to be imposed across the UK. He is also said to have gone to Tooting Broadway Station on April 4 and Kingsland Road in Dalston on April 16, 2016, to set up similar stalls. He denies one count of breach of an ASBO and was due to stand trial at Southwark Crown Court today.
The bearded defendant, wearing a green and gold robe, told the court usher he would not stand for ā€˜any man’ before the hearing began. Judge Martin Beddoe noticed that McFarlane, who is on conditional bail, did not stand up when he entered the courtroom. ā€˜If Mr McFarlane isn’t going to treat this court with respect then I might have to deal with him differently than to release him on bail,’ he said before a break in proceedings. He denies one count of breach of an ASBO and was due to stand trial at Southwark Crown Court today.
Roy Hedlam, defending, said: ā€˜Because of his religious belief he believes there is only one person who he should bow to.’ Judge Beddoe continued: ā€˜That is as may be, but this isn’t a court of religion, this is a secular court and it expects to be treated with respect. ā€˜That isn’t in breach of any religious principles I’m aware of.’
McFarlane stood up in the dock while judge Beddoe was speaking, prompting him to say: ā€˜He’s very kindly standing up for me because I’m about to go.’ The defendant stood up in the dock during the rest of the hearing. His trial was adjourned until the week beginning 11 September because a witness was unable to attend court.
Judge Beddoe said: ā€˜I’m sorry your case hasn’t been able to advance today, but you know the reasons why. It is now in the warned list for the 11 September.’

Ad for an Islamic temporary husband — in Ontario
Ad for an Islamic temporary husband — in OntarioJihad Watch : We are constantly told that only greasy Islamophobes think that any of the aspects of Sharia that contradict Western principles of human rights will ever come to Western countries.
Reality is different. Here is an ad for a nikah halala — a temporary marriage allowing a woman to return to her previous husband — in Scarborough, Ontario: This is based on the Qur’an. Allah’s regulations for divorce emphasize regarding women that ā€œmen have a degree over themā€ (Qur’an 2:228).
This may be why men can divorce their wives simply by saying, ā€œTalaqā€ — You are divorced — but women may not do this. Such an easy procedure leads to divorces in a fit of pique, followed by reconciliation — and the Qur’an anticipates this and attempts to head it off by stipulating that a husband who divorces his wife three times cannot reconcile with her until she marries another man and is in turn divorced by him:
ā€œAnd if he has divorced her [for the third time], then she is not lawful to him afterward until she marries a husband other than himā€ (Qur’an 2:230). This has given rise to the phenomenon of ā€œtemporary husbands,ā€ who marry and divorce thrice-divorced women so that these poor women can then return to their original husbands.
In Ontario.

Negotiating with PAS makes no strategic sense - By Commander (Rtd) S THAYAPARAN Royal Malaysian Navy
Taqiyya
Malaysiakini : ā€œMay your choices reflect your hopes, not your fears.ā€ ― Nelson Mandela
COMMENT | The opposition are slaves to the 'avoiding three-cornered fights' meme. I get that the data favours the strategy of avoiding three-cornered fights, but this idea only makes sense if it means denying BN allies in Parliament. It makes no sense if it means helping potential BN allies retain power, or potentially enabling opposition-held states to be destabilised from within.
Furthermore, this idea that denying BN a two-thirds majority somehow constrains the regime because they are unable to make constitutional amendments is misleading. The current Umno regime has put forth legislation that further sustains their power and erodes individual liberties and they did this without needing the magical two-thirds majority.

Have CNN got an "Empathometer invented to measure President Donald Trumps empathy for the flood victims of Texas??
The type you have to shove up CNN correspondents arseholes to read and measure how much of empathy the President has for the flood victims of Texas.
Like CNN's  hero Obummer had for the Louisiana flood victims, playing golf! 
I'm glad they have Juan Williams. He's a good representative of the libertards ideology and it shows the American people just how nutty the Liberals are!

Terrorist media keeping track of attacks on Israelis that regular media ignores
There is an Arabic "Intefada" website that keeps track of and celebrates the continuous attacks on Israelis that the media studiously ignores.
It lists these attacks for last week:
The fourth week of August .. 5 commando operations and wounding 3 Zionists

In the context of the follow-up and continuous statistics of the Jerusalem intifada, in the fourth week of August 2017, the Intifada site monitored 5 attacks wounding 3 Zionists in various parts of the occupied West Bank and Jerusalem.


In the town of Teqoa in the Bethlehem governorate, a Zionist soldier was injured by the stones of the youth of the uprising, after the clashes that took place in the town.. In Shu'fat refugee camp in East Jerusalem, a settler was injured by stones thrown at him during clashes in the camp.


In the town of Housan, Bethlehem district, a settler was injured by stones thrown by the village's residents. The Zionist occupation forces claimed to have thwarted two stabbings in the city of Ramallah and the occupied city of Jerusalem.


During the fourth week of August, a group of young men in the occupied West Bank attacked Israeli occupation forces in the occupied West Bank with two explosive devices at Rachel's Camp and Aida camp. Any one of these attacks, motivated by racism, would be front page news in the US or Europe.
But Palestinians are expected to act this way against "Zionists" or "settlers" (meaning Jews.)
Which is perhaps the most important reason why they do. Read it all here..........

Islamic contributions to their new societies are, as they have been in their own environments for 14 centuries, virtually nil
CHARLOTTE, NC, August 29, 2017 – Europe had a chance to solve a problem before it became one. To a lesser degree, so did the United States. Rather than close the barn door before the horse escaped however, the West chose to leave it wide open, while, for the most part, many of our leaders still think it is closed.
Suicidal West
Apologize for it or not, Islam is a ā€œreal and present dangerā€ to our Western way of life. Writing in ā€œThe Quadrant Online,ā€ Peter Smith accurately notes that ā€œThose who hold to (Islam), however intrinsically peaceful they happen to be, are part of the problem. Apologists and appeasers are also part of the problem. (emphasis added) Unless things change and the will to fight rediscovered, it is only a matter of time before we are swept away into the dustbin of history.ā€
Thank you, Angela Merkel and Barack Obama.CNN’s Wolf Blitzer, supposedly a media giant who is certainly well paid for his insights, posed the thought that the recent attack in Barcelona might have been a ā€œcopycatā€ of the violence in Charlottesville.ā€
Using that logic, then every terrorist incident since September 11, 2001 could have been dismissed as a ā€œcopycatā€ of those attacks on the U.S. In other words, hundreds, if not thousands, of terror events, mostly carried out by followers of Islam, were merely ā€œcopiedā€; the Bali nightclub, the Boston Marathon, Charlie Hebdo, London’s bridges, Berlin Christmas Market, Madrid’s railway station and on and on. As Muslim populations increase, so too do their ghettos. Other than terrorism, Islamic ghettos are the biggest contribution to Western society. Add in Sharia Law and you have a recipe for disaster. ā€

Extremist Islamic preacher hosted foster care workshop
BCF : An extremist Islamic preacher helped in the recruitment of foster parents, The Telegraph can disclose, amid a growing row over a Christian child placed in the care of devout Muslims.
The imam hosted a workshop for would-be foster carers just months after the High Court ruled him an ā€œextremist Islamic speaker ā€ who had ā€œpromoted and encouraged religious violenceā€. His mosque, the Lewisham Islamic Centre, was attended by the killers of Fusilier Lee Rigby. The imam and the centre had condemned the murder.
Shakeel Begg
The event was organised on behalf of the London borough of Lewisham as part of a drive to find more Muslims willing to foster children.  The disclosure comes amid a growing furore over the decision by crisis-ridden Tower Hamlets, another London council, to place a five-year-old girl in the care of two Muslim households.A council source said the borough had a shortage of non-Muslim carers with whom to place Christian children.  In contrast, most councils have a shortage of Muslim families to provide foster care for children of Islamic heritage.
Lewisham Islamic Centre was chosen as the venue for a workshop  ā€œon the importance and need of foster carers in the Muslim communityā€ in March this year. A photograph from the event posted on the mosque’s website shows the gathering being addressed by Shakeel Begg, the imam.

Antifa reveals its true self: thuggish and totalitarian
BCF : One of the least safe places to be in Berkeley, Calif., is in the vicinity of someone holding a ā€œNo Hateā€ sign.
So-called anti-fascist, or antifa, activists bearing shields emblazoned with those words assaulted any of the handful of beleaguered Trump supporters they could get their hands on at a small political rally over the weekend. All in the cause, mind you, of demonstrating their supposed opposition to hatefulness.
Too many people were willing to perfume antifa in the wake of Charlottesville, where it clashed with Nazi thugs who caused, and deserved, a wave of national revulsion. But Berkeley demonstrates once again the true nature of this left-wing movement, which is thuggish in its tactics and totalitarian in its sensibility. Anyone who at this point makes excuses for antifa — or worse, justifies it — is participating in its moral rot.
The antifa goons showed up in force at Berkeley at what had been a small ā€œanti-Marxistā€ rally of Trump supporters at a public park. Antifa wore its usual fascistic garb of black masks and body armor. They overwhelmed the police who had been trying to maintain order and, holding aloft smoke-spewing flares, chanted, ā€œWhose park? Our park!ā€

Jihad Never Sleeps
BCF : Most Catholics in the U.S. are vaguely aware that Christians are being persecuted in the Middle East, Africa, and other parts of the Islamic world. Most are aware of the many terrorist attacks in Europe. And most are aware of the major jihad attacks here in America.
But if you’re mainly focused on the occasional terror attack, you are probably underestimating the extent of the Islamic threat and the speed with which it is spreading. That’s because people have short memories. Take the recent terror attacks in Spain—in Barcelona and Cambrils. You undoubtedly saw some of the news coverage of the carnage, and you probably think you won’t forget the event. But memories fade.
How many remember the much more deadly jihad attack on the Madrid train system in 2004? The nearly simultaneous bombings aboard four commuter trains killed 191 people and injured more than 1,800. But, unless you live in Spain, the Madrid train bombings passed out of your mind years ago, and if you’re under twenty-five, you likely never knew about them in the first place.
When a spectacular terror attack occurs, the average person is temporarily alarmed, but then settles back into a state of complacency until the next major terror attack triggers the alarm once again. But this cycle of alarm-complacency-alarm-complacency doesn’t bring us any closer to understanding the underlying problem or solving it. Indeed, it conditions us to live with a certain level of terror.
We know that the jihadists will strike again, but we also know that the odds are low that we will be among the victims. And so we manage to get on with our lives. As long as bombs are not going off in nearby subways or buses we stop thinking about jihad.

Germany: Police uncover plot to kidnap and murder leftist politicians by German Police
EOTW : (Berlin) Whist The German leader is unrepentant in the face of numerous protests against her importation of millions of economic migrants into the country, a few people it seems are willing to take matters into their own hands in which to send the message to Mrs Merkel that the social fabric of Christian Germany has been rent asunder and that enough is enough.
Protesters greet Merkel at an election rally (Kanzlerin=Chancellor) 

Which is why German Police have today raided the homes of two German policemen who were caught out using social media in which to plot the kidnapping and murders of a list of leftwing Politicians whom they felt had betrayed the country.
 The plot was uncovered when the two suspects were monitored discussing politics on online chat forum. . They were unhappy at the government’s immigration and refugee policies and, fearing they could result in a collapse of public order, they had hoarded food supplies and ammunition for their legally licensed guns. In addition, the suspects saw the crisis they feared also as an opportunity to kill figures on the left-wing of the political spectrum with these weapons.

Fake Palestinian refugees get quadruple the aid per person that real refugees get

From YNet:
A Palestinian refugee receives a budget four times larger than a Syrian, Iraqi or African refugee, this according to a study conducted by the Abba Eban Institute of International Diplomacy at the Interdisciplinary Center (IDC) in Herzliya.

At the end of last week, UNRWA released its annual financial report, which stated that in 2016 the organization spent an average of $246 for each of the 5.3 million Palestinians it defines as refugees, while UNHCR spent only a quarter of that, $58 per refugee. In addition, the data show that UNRWA employs some 30,000 people, while the World Refugee Agency, which handles tens of millions worldwide, employs only 10,000 people.


Former Israeli Ambassador to the United Nations Ron Prosor heads the Abba Eban Institute, which formulated a plan of action for structural changes that will improve the treatment of refugees around the world by merging UNRWA into the UNHCR. "Consolidating the budgets and manpower of both agencies will lead to better treatment of refugees," Prosor said. "In Jordan, for example, there are 44 clinics that treat refugees from the civil wars in Syria and Iraq, out of 233 clinics that are required for this mission. Alongside them are 25 UNRWA clinics that ignore Syrian refugees and care only for Palestinian refugees.


"Uniting the resources of the two agencies will enable more quality and efficient assistance, and contribute to a solution for what that the UN itself has defined as the most serious refugee crisis in history."

How The Left Gets Away With Unlawful Discrimination
BCF : ā€œFor the last 40 years-plus, liberals and the far-left have not only come to dominate the media, academia, and entertainment, but have systematically engaged in an effort to limit or outright eradicate Republican, conservative, libertarian, independent, and even Christian thought.ā€
They have done so by methodically gaining positions of power within those fields and then going out of their way to only hire those who thought like them and more importantly, acted like them. The irony that many of these liberals made their names or launched their careers fighting discrimination is not lost on them.
They know they are engaged in unlawful discrimination but truly believe that any means now justifies the end they seek. That end being total capitulation to the "progressive" group-think they espouse. Totalitarian thought by any other name is still totalitarian thought. Those three all-powerful megaphones within our nation have a number of critically important subsets. Two of those being book publishing and sports.  Again, while the liberals and the far-left may not want to embrace this truth, it is a fact that the vast majority of "mainstream" book publishing is controlled — with an iron fist — by liberals and the far-left.
With that virtually unchecked power, has come a goal to censor conservative and Christian authors. Nothing is ever admitted. The owners and editors who run these publishing empires simply publish fewer and fewer conservative and Christian authors in favor of much more politically correct and diverse writers who simply reflect their views.

Antifa Just Showed Its True Colors. Again
If 2016 is the year when our political parties failed, inflicting on America arguably its worst presidential choice in our nation’s history, then 2017 is when our broader institutions began to lose their collective minds.
This is the year when reasonable men surrendered to unreason — when political tribalism trumped human decency. The primary tragedy of Charlottesville was the loss of a young woman’s life. The secondary tragedy was the distortion of our political culture.
The president of the United States actually declared some portion of a collection of neo-Nazis, white supremacists, and alt-right white nationalists to be ā€œvery fine people.ā€ He just couldn’t bring himself to completely disavow men and women who’d supported him since the day he descended down the escalator at Trump Tower. Yet rather than doing the easiest and most sensible thing in the world — condemning white supremacy while also condemning political violence on the far left — some portion of the left-wing intelligentsia actually decided to embrace their own thugs.
They supported Antifa. They decided to lionize some of the worst people in American life. And in so doing, they actually compared them to the American heroes who stormed Omaha Beach. The tweets below, as the saying goes, did not age well. First, here’s Jeffrey Goldberg, the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, one of the best and most respected political journals in American life:

Mr. President, End DACA
Recent reports suggest that President Trump is torn about what to do about DACA, the de facto amnesty for so-called DREAMers instituted by Barack Obama.
We understand the hesitation, since many of the beneficiaries of this amnesty have sympathetic stories, but as a matter of fidelity to our constitutional system and his campaign promises, Trump must end DACA.
If we are going to amnesty an entire class of people, it should obviously be done through the democratic process and, in our view, happen only in exchange for reforms to the immigration system. DACA contravenes the elementary principle that the legislative branch ought to pass laws and the executive branch ought to enforce them. In 2012, after Congress rejected the DREAM Act, President Obama issued the policy by unilateral decree.
Under DACA — Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals — illegal immigrants under the age of 36 can apply to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services for deferred status. And while the Obama administration pretended the policy would be implemented via ā€œprosecutorial discretion,ā€ with each case considered individually, in practice, USCIS officials say, any illegal immigrant who appears eligible is granted deferred status — which comes with benefits such as a work permit, a Social Security number, and a driver’s license.
More than 750,000 illegal immigrants currently enjoy this functional amnesty. Candidate Trump made ending DACA a priority, but since being elected, the president has not followed through. The politics is tricky. It is difficult to roll back this de facto amnesty after it has already been implemented. And some of the DREAMers did indeed come here at a young age and have effectively known no other country (this isn’t true of all DACA beneficiaries — the Obama policy was so sweeping that it can apply to illegal immigrants who came here as teenagers). But the most important consideration is that DACA is flagrantly unconstitutional.

Gorka: McMaster ā€œsees the threat of Islam through an Obama administration lensā€
Jihad Watch : McMaster ā€œsees the threat of Islam through an Obama administration lens, meaning that religion has nothing to do with the war we are in.ā€
When jihad terrorists the world over are invoking the Qur’an and Sunnah to justify their actions and make recruits among peaceful Muslims, this is a self-defeating stance that prevents American officials from understanding the enemy and devising ways to counter that enemy properly. This was something Trump appeared to be saying during his campaign that he would end.
When he rebuked Obama and Hillary Clinton for refusing to say ā€œradical Islamic terrorism,ā€ he seemed to be saying that he would deal realistically with the motivating ideology behind the jihad threat. Trump has failed, and betrayed that promise.
ā€œGorka says McMaster has ā€˜Obama lens’ on threat of radical Islam,ā€ by Michael Wilner, Jerusalem Post, August 27, 2017:
WASHINGTON – Sebastian Gorka, a senior staffer at the White House until last week, came to the defense on Sunday of H.R. McMaster, President Donald Trump’s national security adviser who last month endured a far-right campaign against him over his posture toward Israel. In an interview with The Jerusalem Post, Gorka said he had not once heard H.R. McMaster speak critically of the state in his six months since taking office.
ā€œI’m not here to feed stories of palace intrigue – I hate that, and I’m still loyal to the president and his agenda,ā€ Gorka said. But ā€œI have never heard Gen. McMaster say things that are anti-Israeli. I’ve never heard that.ā€ Gorka did, however, offer harsh criticism of McMaster’s stance toward Islamists, speaking of the violent extremism as a problem inherent to Islam itself.
McMaster ā€œsees the threat of Islam through an Obama administration lens, meaning that religion has nothing to do with the war we are in,ā€ Gorka said. ā€œHe believes – and he told me in his office – that all of these people are just criminals. That is simply wrong."

Defying international pressure, Islamic Republic of Mauritania refuses to free slaves
Defying international pressure, Islamic Republic of Mauritania refuses to free slaves
Jihad Watch : ā€œUS warned Mauritania’s ā€˜total failure’ on slavery should rule out trade benefits,ā€ by Rebecca Ratcliffe, Guardian, August 25, 2017 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
The routine abuse of thousands of enslaved Mauritanians, including rape, beatings and unpaid labour, should prevent the African republic from receiving US trade benefits, American labour unions have said.
Mauritania, which has one of the highest rates of modern-day slavery in the world and has been roundly criticised for its poor human rights record, is currently on a list of countries that benefit from the African Growth and Opportunity Act (Agoa). The act, designed to promote the economic development of countries that can show they uphold human rights and meet labour standards, enables African countries to export goods duty-free to US markets.
The US trade union AFL-CIO, the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations, this week called on the US trade representative to remove Mauritania from the roster of approved countries.  ā€œThe government of Mauritania routinely fails to conduct investigations into cases of slavery, rarely pursues prosecutions for those responsible for the practice and fails to ensure access to remedy or otherwise support victims,ā€ the union wrote in a petition, adding that the state harasses and imprisons anti-slavery activists and will not publicly acknowledge the continued existence of slavery.
ā€œThis represents a total failure to take any meaningful steps to establish freedom from forced labour,ā€ said the petition. Mauritania abolished slavery in 1981, the last country in the world to do so, but only made it a crime in 2007. Since then, campaigners say the government has passed a handful of inefficient reforms and failed to properly address the issue.  Although the union says it is unlikely the US will immediately remove Mauritania from the Agoa list, Celeste Drake, trade and globalisation policy specialist at the AFL-CIO, said the petition should ā€œput Mauritania on watchā€ā€¦.
ā€œIt took decades to actually have a conviction let alone compensation for any victims,ā€ he said. ā€œOne issue we have with the agency [Tadamoun] is that it doesn’t involve any of the former slaves. It’s run by the white Moor community there, and it focuses a lot on a poverty alleviation mandate and doesn’t really address the slavery issues.ā€

ā€œThey don’t speak Englishā€: Five-year-old Christian girl in UK placed in foster care with niqab-wearing Muslims
Jihad Watch : The Stupid British Bastards! ā€œAnd more recently the girl told her that ā€˜Christmas and Easter are stupid’ and that ā€˜European women are stupid and alcoholic’…the child was ā€˜very distressed’ and claimed the foster carer had removed her Christian cross and encouraged her to learn Arabic.ā€
Imagine what the outcry would be if a Muslim child were placed in a Christian family that denigrated her Muslim beliefs. And that would never happen in Britain or anywhere else in the West.
But this incident is all in a day’s work in shattered, staggering, dhimmi Britain, in which the May government is so bent on appeasing Islamic supremacists and jihadis that it is willingly sacrificing non-Muslim children to the chimera of a harmonious multicultural future, a vision that will dissolve in blood.

Massive win for Indian diplomacy: Doklam standoff to end as China agrees to disengage with India
Financial Express : Doklam standoff to end: India and China have decided to disengage their soldiers in the Doklam region of Sikkim sector.Doklam standoff:
India and China have decided to disengage their soldiers in the Doklam region of Sikkim sector, External Affairs Ministry said today. Soldiers of both countries were engaged in standoff since mid-June. In a statement, the MEA said, ā€œIn recent weeks, India and China have maintained diplomatic communication in respect of the incident at Doklam.
During these communications, we were able to express our views and convey our concerns and interests. On this basis, expeditious disengagement of border personnel at the face-off site at Doklam has been agreed to and is ongoing.ā€ Reuters reported China’s foreign ministry as saying that Chinese forces will continue to patrol in Doklam region. It said Indian forces have already withdrawn to the Indian side of the border in Doklam. Chinese state media CGTN also reported that India and China have agreed to end the standoff in Donglang area of both countries’ border.
It based its report on a Times of India story about the recent development. China calls Doklam as Donglang. The standoff had started after China’s People’s Liberation Army tried to build a road in the Doklam area, which belongs to Bhutan and is strategically significant for India. China claims the as its own. The standoff threatened to derail decades of trust-building between New Delhi and Beijing after the fallout of 1962 war.

With Gorka out, White House is nearly cleansed of hard-liners against Islam
BCF : The White House today is nearly devoid of the hard-liners who arrived in January wanting to use the bully pulpit to expose radical Islam as the root cause of global terrorism.Sebastian Gorka, a scholarly but intense voice on the need for Islam to reform itself, exited Friday after a number of other like-minded thinkers were shown the door. Mr. Gorka was a cable news regular who took joy in bashing Mr. Trump’s critics, especially CNN.
The exodus began with retired Army Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, who had planned to use his national security adviser role for the Gorka-type message. Next were a cadre of his people on the National Security Council staff. Then chief strategist Steve Bannon left the White House and returned to fighting his wars at Breitbart News Network.
Critics see the cleansing as a victory for Army Lt. Gen. H.R. McMaster, Mr. Flynn’s successor as national security adviser.As an Army strategist and prominent public speaker, the historian-warrior has expressed a consistent theme that the Islamic State terrorist organization, al Qaeda and other ultraviolent Muslim groups do not reflect Islam. It is much the same argument made by President Obama, who saw himself as a personal defender of Islam.
Hard-liners have held out hope that President Trump, as commander in chief, will counter the McMaster culture. But the White House shift from the Gorkas and Bannons came into even sharper focus last week when Mr. Trump delivered his first prime-time TV address to the nation. His speech on how to win in Afghanistan against a collection of violent Islamic groups never mentioned the word ā€œIslamic,ā€ only the generic term ā€œterrorist.ā€

We’re losing this cat-and-mouse terror game
BCF : Britons are being groomed to accept these outrages and to believe nobody is to blame.
I wonder how Mohammad Khan is getting on in his legal action against Virgin Atlantic. Mo — a Muslim, the clue’s in the name — was waiting to board a flight when he started ā€˜harmlessly’ talking about 9/11.
There is no reason to believe he has any connections with extremists, but he was kicked off the flight because of security concerns and had to fly out of the UK with another airline. Although he was later offered a refund, he is now suing, claiming he was ā€˜racially and religiously profiled’ by the Virgin staff. ā€˜I know this wouldn’t have happened if I’d been a white man in his sixties,’ Mo complained. No, probably not. But if the world were comprised entirely of white men in their sixties, then 9/11 might not have happened.
The world might also be a nicer place to live, although there might be too many bridge tournaments for my own taste. It is axiomatic that white men in their sixties are privileged oppressive bastards, but it is also true that they have been remarkably quiet of late. No white men in their sixties were suspects in the recent carnage in Barcelona in which 15 people were killed and scores more injured. The police instead were looking for people who look a bit like Mo — Muslim men in their twenties.
Nor were older white folk implicated in the knife attack in Turku, Finland, in which two women were murdered and eight people injured. Nor yet in the attack in Hamburg in which one person was killed and six injured. In all of those cases the police were after people who might well be called ā€˜Mohammed’. They don’t give out the names of suspects anymore because everybody knows it’s probably someone called Mohammed.

ā€œAnd you got the nerve to say that we are hateful?ā€
Jihad Watch : Yeah, how could I have gotten such a crazy idea, when I get love letters of this quality?
Here is an email I received a few minutes ago. The words were all written out in full in the original; I starred them out to keep the Internet censors from pulling our plugs any more quickly than they’re already planning to. Otherwise the spelling and grammar are as in the original.

Email: F**KYOU@YAHOO.COM
Subject: Your hate mongoring

The biggest atrocities in history were caused by Christians like you mother f**ker! it is recorded in history books to this day, and you think you are the f**ken lamb? you are sick a**hole. Well I got news for you stupid b**ch, Islam is and will always be the fastest growing religion on this planet, it is destined to bulldoze your a** and bulldoze every other religion in the world. by doing all this bulls**t you are only making it worst for your self and helping Islam by making people really curious about all these lies so they go and read the Quran and discover you are a f**ken liar so they end up embracing Islam, that’s why it is the fastest growing religion because it’s the most unfairly attacked religion.
So keep up the good job you sewer head.

In case you thought Al Jazeera was a real news source...
EOZ :
Here is how Al Jazeera starts off a news article and 45-minute film - not an op-ed - about people who volunteer to help the IDF:
In November 2013, Elena Zakusilo, a Ukrainian Jewish woman, appeared on the Ukrainian TV show "Lie Detector", revealing that she worked for the Israeli army and continued to do so. "The first time I killed was difficult for me. I threw the weapon and said I wasn't going anywhere. But I went," she said and admitted to having killed civilians, including children. The only problem is that Zakusilo was indeed lying on the TV show.
The IDF says that Zakulsilo was a volunteer but had no rank or any of the roles she claimed - and her stories were literally unbelievable anyway, claiming that she was in charge of training dogs who would be equipped with cameras and who would be sent to attack Palestinians from ten kilometers away.. But also that she was a combat soldier who killed children in riots after Arafat died. She claimed that she reported directly to a general.
Somehow she was not investigated by the IDF after killing however many children she claims to have killed and on the program she claimed to still be working for the IDF in the Ukraine protecting Israelis on airplanes. Her story has more holes than Blackburn, Lancashire. Yet Al Jazeera chooses to highlight her obvious lies as the anchor to the program about how nefarious it is that Israel uses volunteers in both combat and non-combat roles:

Sibel Kekilli to German Muslims: ā€œYou Are Full of Hate and Jealousyā€
GOV :The well-known actress Sibel Kekilli was raised in a Muslim home in Germany, but left Islam to free herself from its oppressive treatment of women. The following report by Egri Nƶk was originally published at Vlad Tepes in a slightly different form.

Sibel Kekilli: ā€œYou don’t accept other people, especially not women or people of other beliefsā€-by Egri Nƶk
The popular German actress Sibel Kekilli (born in Germany in 1980 as the daughter of immigrants), known to an international audience as ā€˜Shae’ in Game of Thrones, has left Instagram over harassment mainly by Muslims. Bild quotes her as saying:

This is the first and the last time that I will speak to the people who hate me, most of them are Turks, unfortunately. I will no longer tolerate threats, insults and disgusting sex photos that you send me. You are full of hate and jealousy. You call yourselves Muslims, yet you don’t accept other people, especially not women or people of other beliefs. You are full of sh**… Honestly, I feel sorry for you. Stop following me. I will say goodbye for a little while.
Sibel’s own experience as growing up as a girl in a ā€œrelatively modernā€ Muslim family in Germany, not being allowed to go to college, or to partake in school field trips, led her to break away from her family and champion women’s’ rights. She caused a ā€œscandalā€ in 2006, when, in a speech in Berlin addressing domestic violence, she said:
I have experienced for myself that both physical and psychological abuse are regarded as normal in a Muslim family. Sadly, violence belongs to the culture of Islam.
Part of the audience booed her, one man interrupted her speech and yelled: ā€œIslam has got nothing to do with violence. You humiliate our people!ā€, and the Turkish consul general got up and left in protest.

In a speech on behalf of Terre des Femmes on International Women’s Day, 2015, Kekilli called Islamic culture ā€œmercilessā€. She said women like herself were treated ā€œworse than murderersā€, which inflicts psychological damage upon women, and asked Muslim men to let women live their lives in peace. [Photo caption (not shown): Sibel Kekilli: ā€œThis inhumane pressure is making you sad, hunched, depressiveā€]

California: Catholic school removes statues to avoid offending Muslims
Jihad Watch : ā€œThe students attending San Domenico come from a variety of religious backgrounds besides Christianity: Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism and Islam.ā€
Hmmm. Which of those four is likely to have been the only one objecting to the presence of these statues? And so here again we see the universal principle: in Muslim countries, one must change one’s behavior to suit Muslim sensibilities. And in non-Muslim countries, one must change one’s behavior to suit Muslim sensibilities. ā€œLeave them; they are blind guides. And if a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit.ā€ (Matthew 15:14)
ā€œSan Anselmo’s San Domenico School creates stir by removing Catholic statues,ā€ by Richard Halstead, Marin Independent Journal, August 24, 2017:
Removal of a number of statues and other smaller Catholic icons from the campus of San Domenico School in San Anselmo has raised concerns among some parents. In an email to the school’s board of directors, Dominican Sisters of San Rafael and the head of school, Shannon Fitzpatrick objected to the removal of the statues and other steps the school has taken in an effort to make the school more inclusive.
ā€œArticulating an inclusive foundation appears to mean letting go of San Domenico’s 167-year tradition as a Dominican Catholic school and being both afraid and ashamed to celebrate one’s heritage and beliefs,ā€ wrote Fitzpatrick, whose 8-year-old son attends the school. She added, ā€œIn our time here, the word ā€˜Catholic’ has been removed from the mission statement, sacraments were removed from the curriculum, the lower school curriculum was changed to world religions, the logo and colors were changed to be ā€˜less Catholic,’ and the uniform was changed to be less Catholic.ā€
Responding to follow-up questions Monday, Fitzpatrick wrote, ā€œThere are other families having the same concerns I do. Many parents feel if the school is heading in a different direction then the San Domenico community should have been notified before the signing of the enrollment for the following year.ā€ Cheryl Newell, who had four children graduate from San Domenico, said, ā€œI am extremely disappointed in the school and the direction they’ve been going. This isn’t a new thing that they’ve been intentionally eroding their Catholic heritage. They’re trying to be something for everyone and they’re making no one happy,ā€
Kim Pipki, whose daughter left San Domenico two years ago after graduating from ninth grade, said some of the statues were also important to families who aren’t Catholic. ā€œThe one main statue that has everyone fired up is the baby Jesus and Mary one,ā€ Pipki said. ā€œIt was at the center of the primary school courtyard.ā€ Pipki said the school had a ceremony during which children would place a crown on the statue of Mary.

Dearborn Muslims in uproar over Christian proselytizing, police chief admits it ā€œappears to be legalā€
Jihad Watch : This Arab American News story is written as if the Christian preachers were spreading bubonic plague, and of course, for the Muslims interviewed for it, they might as well have been: Islamic law mandates death for those who leave the religion, and so from the Islamic perspective, these preachers were actively endangering the lives of those Muslims to whom they were preaching.
Nonetheless, it is not illegal in the United States to preach Christianity or any other religion. It is only illegal to preach Christianity under Islamic law. But perhaps unsure as to whether Dearborn were under the rule of the U.S. Constitution or Sharia, Dearborn Police Chief Ron Haddad checked with lawyers and got the bad news: ā€œAccording to our corporation counsel, it appears to be legal to engage in the noted activities under the First Amendment in the park.ā€
At least he asked this time. A few years ago, Dearborn Police arrested some Christian evangelists for daring to try to preach to Muslims (the video and photos are gone from that link, but you can still get the gist of what happened). But remember: if you’re concerned about the influence of Sharia in the U.S., you’re a racist, bigoted ā€œIslamophobe.ā€

So what if Utusan is anti-DAP? - By Commander (Rtd) S THAYAPARAN Royal Malaysian Navy
Malaysiakini : ā€œWe can never be sure that the opinion we are endeavouring to stifle is a false opinion; and if we were sure, stifling it would be an evil still.ā€ ― John Stuart Mill, 'On Liberty'
Ketuanan Melayu
COMMENT | So, Utusan Malaysia has ā€œcongratulatedā€ Malaysiakini on its supposed immunity to state sanction because of its readers' comments that are "wild and slanderous." While I happen to think that many of the comments Malaysiakini chooses not to highlight are indeed ā€œwild and slanderous,ā€ this is the natural consequence of free speech.
To argue that Malaysiakini is immune from state sanction misses the point. Malaysiakini and its editors have been subject to state intervention countless times and the most recent intervention was when Malaysiakini was merely reporting the news.
In defending Malaysiakini during this latest assault on the free press, I wrote – ā€œWhen simply reporting what was said is considered offensive, obscene or false, the whole charade that this is a democratic country comes tumbling down like a deck of cards. When a journalist is barred from reporting what was said or done, this truly becomes the ā€˜see no evil and hear no evil’ profession that old-school journalists have been struggling against for years.ā€
Of course, going after readers' comments is like shooting fish in a barrel. The fact that establishment propagandists often times use racist and slanderous comments of certain anonymous subscribers in their propaganda pieces seems to escape this establishment paper. It apparently also escapes these subscribers who then wonder why race relations in this country are so bad.

Report: Google to ā€˜Police YouTube Like it Never Has Before’
Saturday, August 26, 2017
Breitbart : Google began to ā€œpolice YouTube like it never has beforeā€ Thursday, cracking down further on ā€œoffensive content,ā€ according to a report.
The World Jewish Congress has sent a letter to the German unit of YouTube parent company Google, demanding more decisive action to take down illegal material praising the Holocaust and Adolf Hitlerā€œGoogle will police YouTube like it never has before, adding warnings and disabling advertising on videos that the company determines crosses its new threshold for offensive content,ā€ reported Bloomberg Technology on Thursday.
ā€œGoogle outlined these moves in June, but the implementation comes as debate about extremism and political speech is front-and-center in the national spotlight — and when tech giants like Google and Facebook Inc. face deeper scrutiny over how they moderate information distributed through their digital services.ā€
Offending videos will not be removed, potentially allowing Google to still make money from them but cutting off monetization for the creators, who will also face other restrictions: ā€œYouTube isn’t removing the selected videos, but is instead setting new restrictions on viewing, sharing and making money on them.

UK: Man with machete attacks two cops outside Buckingham Palace
Jihad Watch : Right-wing extremists? Anglican fanatics? Maybe. But there is, as unlikely as it may be, one other possibility. The Islamic State issued this call in September 2014:

So O muwahhid, do not let this battle pass you by wherever you may be. You must strike the soldiers, patrons, and troops of the tawaghit. Strike their police, security, and intelligence members, as well as their treacherous agents. Destroy their beds. Embitter their lives for them and busy them with themselves. If you can kill a disbelieving American or European — especially the spiteful and filthy French — or an Australian, or a Canadian, or any other disbeliever from the disbelievers waging war, including the citizens of the countries that entered into a coalition against the Islamic State, then rely upon Allah, and kill him in any manner or way however it may be….
If you are not able to find an IED or a bullet, then single out the disbelieving American, Frenchman, or any of their allies. Smash his head with a rock, or slaughter him with a knife, or run him over with your car, or throw him down from a high place, or choke him, or poison him….

ā€œBuckingham Palace on lockdown: Two officers injured as police arrest driver in his twenties ā€˜armed with a MACHETE’ after he stops his car on the Mall – as terrified tourists look on,ā€ by Abe Hawken, Mailonline, August 25, 2017:

Buckingham Palace is on lockdown after police arrested a man who allegedly attacked two officers while armed with a sword in front of frightened tourists. Police stopped the man on the Mall at 8.35pm and discovered he was carrying a knife and two officers suffered ā€˜minor injuries’ to their arms when they detained him.
The man, who is in his 20s, was arrested on suspicion of grievous bodily harm and assault on police. Officers remain outside the world famous building this evening. One witness described seeing the man wrestled from a car by police having apparently driven his vehicle towards them. Kiana Williamson said: ā€˜We turned up and there was one police van and one car, there was also a civilian’s car that had veered towards the police car.
ā€˜They were trying to get the man out of the car, shouting, more police were arriving on to the scene and the man was fighting back. ā€˜I saw one injured policeman with an injury to his arm although it didn’t look severe. He was being tended to by another officer. ā€˜The man had been restrained and looked almost unconscious by the side of the road. ā€˜I didn’t see the car driving but the car had been left at the side of the road and an eye witness had said that he had driven towards the police car.’ The whole encounter lasted around one minute, she added.
Social media users suggested the alleged attacker was carrying a sword – while others said he was holding a machete.
The Metropolitan Police said it was too early to know whether the incident was terror related.
