and slit their throats

Four Christians Killed by Islamists in Northern Mozambique

Barnabas Aid, November 15, 2024:

Islamic State media have reported the killing of four Christians in separate incidents in northern Mozambique.

All four killings took place in the Muidumbe District of Cabo Delgado in the first two weeks of November.

Fighters from Islamic State Mozambique (IS-M) captured two “infidel Christians” on Sunday, November 3, and slit their throats.

On November 7 the Islamists killed another Christian in a machine gun attack. The fourth was captured and killed two days later.

IS-M has killed thousands of people in northern Mozambique since the beginning of an insurgency in 2017. The terrorist group works closely with Islamic State Central Africa Province (based in north-eastern D.R. Congo), with the activities of both coordinated by an Islamic State command center in Somalia….

Middle East War > Hamas headquarters shifts from Qatar to Turkey

 

Hamas leadership reportedly relocates to Turkey after being expelled from Qatar

Nov 18, 2024 9:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

The Biden administration indicated that Qatar bowed to the US request to expel the Hamas from its country, but other US officials contradict that claim, saying that Qatar decided on its own to expel Hamas over frustrations in hostage negotiations with the US, Israel and Hamas. Whatever happened, now Hamas has apparently relocated to Turkey. 

Hamas leadership reportedly relocates to Turkey amid Qatar’s ban

by Sam Halpern, Jerusalem Post, November 17, 2024:

Senior members of Hamas’s leadership outside of Gaza have been in Turkey in recent days, Israeli state broadcaster KAN reported on Sunday.

This latest report comes after an American source confirmed to the news outlet earlier this month that Qatar had agreed to remove Hamas from its territory…..

Further, Turkey has expressed sympathy for Hamas throughout the war.

In early August, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan declared a day of mourning after the elimination of Hamas political bureau leader Ismail Haniyeh. The Turkish embassy in Tel Aviv lowered its flag to half-mast to mark the occasion.

Earlier, in March, Erdogan stated that Ankara “firmly backs” Hamas, the Saudi outlet Arab News reported.

“No one can make us qualify Hamas as a terrorist organization,” he reportedly said during a speech in Istanbul…

The reason for Qatar’s expulsion of Hamas isn’t clear beyond its alleged “frustration” over politics. What is striking, however, is the timing: Hamas is losing miserably in a war that President-elect Donald Trump has requested that Israel wrap up quickly. Already shifts are being noted in the Middle East, which will be discussed further on.

One certainty is that Qatar will not operate in the interests of Israel, but only in its own. A new report by the Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy (ISGAP) “alleges financial and political involvement by Iran and Qatar in South Africa’s December 2023 case at the International Criminal Court” accusing Israel of genocide in Gaza. 

According to the Washington Post, since the American elections, Iran has been put on notice:

“To Tehran, the message from many of Trump’s surrogates has taken the form of a broad warning. Gone, they say, is the Democrats’ ‘weak’ policy of appeasement. Prepare to be squeezed into submission.”

Both Iran and Qatar aim to destroy Israel, despite Qatar’s sudden move to expel Hamas. There is nothing to indicate that Qatar has suddenly disavowed the Muslim Brotherhood, of which Hamas is an offshoot. Iran, however, is more brazen about its intentions, while Qatar is unpredictable and deceptive. Dr. Einat Wilf, a political scientist and former Member of the Knesset, states with regard to Israel: “Qatar is not our friend. Qatar and Hamas are one and the same.” Dr Wilf also said that Qatar “provided the terrorist group with the economic, material, and moral means to build the army that invaded Israel on October 7 and committed the massacre, all the while maintaining the group in power in Gaza.”

Trump’s victory is already causing a shift in Middle East dynamics, but it’s far too early to gauge the direction and motivation of Islamic leaders. As chameleon-like Qatar expels Hamas, it has also just “taken part in the Generations for a Competitive Future conference held in Budapest, Hungary.” Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has long been a big supporter of Trump, and vice versa. Ironically, leftists have accused both leaders of being “Islamophobic” and “racist” for opposing  mass migration from Muslim countries. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, meanwhile, has invited Trump to visit Turkey, “eyeing a reset in ties.”

Trump is known for his strength, in contrast to Biden and his administration, which appeased and emboldened America’s enemies while pursuing policies that have been destructive to the American economy. A global rebalancing of powers is now inevitable. Uncertainty and unpredictability characterize the period of America’s transition from Biden to Trump. Qatar’s ousting of Hamas, and Turkey’s welcoming of Hamas leaders, while Erdogan also reached out to Trump in a friendly gesture, will prove to be only the beginning of a double game in the Muslim world in the coming months.

It would be prudent to remember going forward that a leopard doesn’t change its spots. Muhammad stated that “war is deceit” (Bukhari 4.52.268).

Is Qatar spooked by Trump? I wouldn't be surprised. Erdogan, on the other hand, may well be looking for an opportunity to get involved in the Middle East war, perhaps thinking his destiny is to be the new Ottoman Emporer.

Islam in Australia > The Grinch who stole Christmas

 

In Australia, the Pro-Palestinian Grinch

Who Stole Christmas

Nov 18, 2024 2:00 pm By Hugh Fitzgerald

Myer is the largest department store in Australia. Every year it puts on a cheerful Christmas display that attracts many thousands of visitors. But this year there will be no display, because pro-Hamas demonstrators threatened violence if the display were to be put up. More on this latest example of pro-Palestinian hysteria and bullying can be found here: 

 

‘Grinch’ pro-Palestinian protesters force cancelation of Melbourne Christmas tradition

by Danielle Greyman-Kennard, Jerusalem Post, November 15, 2024:

The Myer’s annual Christmas windows display in Bourke Street mall, which normally draws thousands of visitors, was forced to cancel its events after threats by pro-Palestinian protesters, according to international media reports.

The windows were set to be opened on Sunday, according to 7News Melbourne who described the protesters as “Grinch activists” – a reference to the Dr. Seuss character.

The protesters reportedly said they want to “inconvenience those who would rather bury their heads in the capitalist machine than focus on the war in Gaza.”

According to these pro-Palestinian hysterics, nothing — not even something as innocuous as a Christmas display in a store’s windows — can be allowed to take our minds off the only thing that matters: the war in Gaza

“To ensure the wellbeing and safety of customers and team members, we will no longer hold an event on Bourke Street mall for the unveiling of our Christmas windows,” Myer said in a statement. “Myer’s Christmas windows have long symbolised joy and community, and we remain committed to providing a safe and positive experience for all visitors.”

Police have reportedly requested that the protesters stop their actions.

The protest entitled ‘Crash the Christmas Windows’ was planned by anti-war activist Amy Settal, according to the Guardian.

“The intention was to interrupt the media spectacle and economic gain sought by Myer. The children coming to see the Myer Christmas windows were never a target because children are not a target,” she reportedly said.

Islam Hates children, especially girls. Search my other blog for 'Islam Hates Girls' for a sample of the madness and hate of Islam. 

Settal celebrated Myer’s decision to cancel on 3AW Radio, adding the protesters “very pleased with the outcome that Myer has decided to cancel their consumerist party” and were “more than happy for the children to enjoy the windows”….

On the one hand, the protesters wanted to shut down a “media spectacle” — the store’s windows bedecked with Christmas cheer — which, we may imagine, included some of the following: sprigs of holly, wrapped boxes pretending to be presents, Santa’s sleigh with some toy reindeers, candles, piped-in carol music, and so on. Those pro-Hamas anti-Israel demonstrators want to shut down every expression of Christmas cheer. They managed to force the department store Myer to “cancel their consumerist party” — note the language, which makes clear that the same people who root for Hamas are also against the “consumerist” society, and against the wicked capitalists who have created it for their own profit. Hatred of the West, and of capitalism, is part of the pro-Hamas package.

Last year, pro-Palestinian protesters rushed the stage while children were performing at Melbourne’s Carols by Candlelight annual Christmas Eve event….

Think of those little children singing carols last year in Melbourne, in the midst of which pro-Palestinian “activists” suddenly leapt up out of nowhere and ran up to the stage, screaming about “genocide” and “From the river to the sea/Palestine will be free,” to disrupt the performance and to end it. Why? Because only one thing matters to these maddened souls: that is “the cause of Palestine” which must be always and everywhere the center of everyone’s attention.

Nor is this madness limited to Australia. It happened in the US last year, with demonstrators in Manhattan on Christmas Day demanding that everyone stop thinking about Christmas shopping and instead focus exclusively on the terrible Israelis and the “bombs” dropping in Gaza.

If you don’t stop what you’re doing and concentrate completely on Gaza, then according to pro-Hamas demonstrators from Melbourne to Manhattan, you are no better than the Nazis. Gaza, after all, is today’s Auschwitz. You deserve, if you come to view the lighting of the Christmas tree at Rockefeller Center or the Christmas display in the Myer’s windows, instead of marching around yelling about “the genocide in Gaza,” to be showered in swastikas.

The Islamization of Britain > Unbelievable British Justice; London Police confuse hate speech limits - 2 tier justice; Muslim hate crime, not criminal in Cambridgeshire

 

UK: London police say imam’s call to

‘destroy Jewish homes’ is not a crime

Nov 20, 2024 11:30 am By Robert Spencer

It’s a direct call for violence. If the roles were reversed and a rabbi had called upon people to destroy the homes of Muslims, you can be certain that he would be behind bars in shattered, staggering, dhimmi Britain today. But this is not a crime, because the Metropolitan Police know who their new overlords are.

Imam’s ‘destroy Jewish homes’ sermon is not a crime, say police

by Lorin Bell-Cross, The JC, November 20, 2024:

The Metropolitan Police have said that an imam who led a prayer for the destruction of Jewish homes “did not meet the threshold of a crime” in a decision that has baffled security experts.

Just two weeks after Hamas’s massacre in southern Israel last year, a preacher at an east London mosque – located near a sizeable Jewish community – told his followers: “Oh Allah, curse the Jews and the children of Israel. Oh Allah, curse the infidels and the polytheists.

“Oh Allah, break their words, shake their feet, disperse and tear apart their unity and ruin their houses and destroy their homes.”

Footage of the sermon by the preacher was broadcast in late 2023 as part of an investigation into antisemitic hate speech in British mosques. In response, police said they would examine the video.

A spokesperson for the Met has now told the JC that despite the fact that “many people found the content upsetting… the entire sermon, including the wording, context and narrative have been reviewed and officers concluded that it does not meet the threshold of a crime”.

The government’s independent adviser on antisemitism, Lord Mann, urged the force to “re-investigate” and said he would be “raising the details of this specific case with the policing minister”.

Jewish security group Community Security Trust (CST), which has a close and cooperative relationship with the police, said that many Jews would “struggle to understand” the decision, while a former policeman suggested this was a sign of “two-tier policing” that followed different rules for different communities….

Bleksley said: “The language used by the [east London] preacher and the response from the Met Police is now a template for what is not illegal, for what can be said.”

He continued: “If a preacher of any other religion wanted to supplant the word ‘God’ for ‘Allah’ and ‘Muslims’ for ‘Jews’, that would be the perfect test to see if there is two-tier policing. They have set a precedent now.”

Surely, some cases where Brits have been jailed for years for saying things about Islam must be revisited in the light of this stunning revelation.

UK police refuse to arrest man who sent Nazi symbol

to Jewish students, ‘non-crime hate incident’

If a cartoon of Muhammad had been sent to Muslim students, how quickly do you think the sender would have been arrested?

Swastika sent to Jewish students, labelled non-hate crime by UK police

Jerusalem Post, November 18, 2024:

Police in Cambridgeshire, United Kingdom, refused to arrest a man who sent Nazi swastikas to Jewish students, the Telegraph reported on Saturday.

The suspect sent an image of the Star of David mixed with the Nazi swastika on social media to the Union of Jewish Students with the caption “The irony of becoming what you once hated.”

The offender wrote there was “nothing endangering Jewish students” and claimed that the UJS was “exploiting them to push pro-genocide propaganda and deflect Israel’s responsibility for murdering 40,000 civilians”.

This is a lie typical of Palestinians and their supporters. The number comes from a Hamas run agency and is certainly grossly exaggerated and misrepresents the number of Hamas soldiers who have died and gone to Hell. At any rate, if Hamas was the least bit concerned about civilian casualties, they would not hide their soldiers, arsenals, and rocket launchers among civilians.

Still, the Cambridgeshire police force deemed the antisemitic act not offensive enough to be a crime.

The Telegraph reported that the incident was labeled as a non-crime hate incident (NCHI).

According to Alex Hearn, co-director of Labour Against Anti-Semitism, this isn’t the first antisemitic incident against the UJS that was reported to the Cambridgeshire police. In October, a man used X/Twitter to send offensive messages to him and the Jewish students….
