12 more expats arrested in Kuwait for engaging in prostitution


Fake police officer arrested after being found guilty of robbing people

Dubai: Kuwait’s Ministry of Interior has arrested 12 more ex-pats for engaging in prostitution, as part of its ongoing crack down, local media reported.

Prostitution in Kuwait is illegal and most of those engaged in the trade are foreign nationals. Authorities usually deport prostitutes or make them sign a “good conduct pledge” before release.

Article 201 of Kuwait’s criminal code prohibits forced prostitution; prescribed penalties include imprisonment of up to five years or a fine for the forced prostitution of adults, and seven years’ imprisonment and a fine prescribed for the forced prostitution of minors under 18 years of age.

Meanwhile in Ahmadi, a fake police officer has been arrested after being found guilty of robbing people. Also in the same area, a man who dressed in women’s clothes was arrested in a shopping mall while trying to steal an item from a jewellery store.

India: Bilkis Bano's rapists are freed, so why the silence?


Our constitution promises justice to all but the woman has been betrayed by the system

Gujarat government, at Dadar, in Mumbai on Tuesday. Such protests have been few and far between. Image Credit: ANI


The silence is stark in a society whose fabric has been ripped inch by disturbing inch in the past few years to increasingly expose it as vacant. Ordinarily, even the most hard hearted would hang their heads in shame but where it matters, there is just a sliver of a murmur. And then, business as usual as though what they don’t say they don’t see.

But they saw, when in 2002 a five months pregnant Bilkis Bano was gang-raped by 11 men — her neighbours. They also saw when Bilkis’s own mother and sisters were gang-raped in front of her. Then her final defeat, her three- year- old daughter’s head was killed. They saw this too.

The men thought along with seven dead bodies they had left another lifeless but Bilkis survived, being alive though is different. Yet we are quiet.

As the country was celebrating 75 years of its independence, from the ramparts of the Red Fort the Prime Minister urged the nation to take a pledge to respect and support ‘nari shakti.’

At the same time these eleven men- convicted rapists and murderers were allowed to walk free by the Gujarat government.

Like some Roman gladiators returned victorious, the men were garlanded and sweets were stuffed in their mouth. Defending the indefensible is now an ideological divide, the good and the bad that we are taught as a primary life lesson has been buried somewhere deep, not unlike our conscience.

These are men who killed a child so young, so brutally, one who was perhaps still peaking wondrously at a the world from behind her mother’s shelter or sitting in her lap as she was when she plucked away by these men. She is dead and they are free. How is this justice for justice must also be seen to be done.

The messaging is not complex. At every turn minorities are reminded, some are more equal than others and it is not them.

There is also election season in the mix which is why barring the Congress most other parties have chosen to look the other way.

“The trauma of the past 20 years washed over me again when I heard that the 11 convicted men who devastated my family and life and took my three-year-old daughter away from me have walked free … Today, I can say only this, how can justice for any woman end like this?”

Bilkis Bano put faith in a system even when these men were allowed parole for lame reasons and we are still silent.

Especially the women. What stops leaders in positions of power to speak up, we recently welcomed a woman president with much fanfare. Are they not moved at her plight? How much more does Bilkis have to lose for them to raise a voice?

These same leaders are more vocal over a bar in Goa than when rapists and murderers walk out through the back door under questionable legality.

The men were granted freedom through the outdated 1992 remission policy, the 2014 policy outrightly disallows remission for rapists and murderers.

Women not standing for each other is perhaps the biggest travesty. Sisters, wives and daughters are universal, humanity surely has some last dregs left or have we become so weak?

In a country where rape is underreported, where a victim is haunted more by the process than the crime and where families choosing silence over a snickering constable at the local police thana are not cowards, this move ‘has set a very bad precedent’ says Justice U.D. Salvi, the former Bombay High Court judge who had convicted the eleven men.


‘If you don’t consider the theory of retribution, apply the theory of reformation.
Has there been reformation? Have they felt remorse? I don’t think so.’ 

- Justice U.D. Salvi


10 years ago a nation was shaken out of its hubris when a 23- year-old medical student was gang-raped on a moving bus in Delhi.

Search this blog for "Delhi bus" for a horrifying list of stories of murder, rape, gang rape committed by Hindu men against Indian girls. Twitter contains millions of listings for Indian men who claim to be 'proud Indians'. There are almost no women making such claims. 

There was outrage, candle marches and street protests with a promise that in one of the most unsafe countries for women in the world, enough was enough. The country came together to collectively call for the rapists to be hanged.

This time the streets are crowded yet empty and outrage is limited to the usual suspects. How quickly has that promise made after Nirbhaya’s death been forgotten or was it always conditional, seen through religious blinkers that make one woman more precious than the other? The candle it seems burnt out long ago.

In 2015 a documentary on Nirbhaya was banned after the then Home Minister said he was ‘upset seeing the film,’ a ruling politician, a woman was worried how it would portray India globally and the Delhi police felt it would create fear in a city.

If a documentary bothered us, imagine Bilkis’s plight, living in shadows for twenty years only to be told she has no place to hide.

Our constitution promises justice to all and Bilkis has been betrayed. Again. Those who speak up, need to make their voice heard even louder to shatter the wall of silence. Is Bilkis Bano not India’s daughter?

Muslim man axes Jewish roommate’s skull, burns face off

Muslim man axes Jewish roommate’s skull, burns face off. Axe seized from attempted terrorist. (Israel police)


Worried family members asked the murderer if he had seen his roommate.

By Debbie Reiss,

A 34-year-old Jewish man was axed to death by his Muslim roommate before having his face burned off in a commune in north-central France, an antisemitism monitoring group said on Monday.

The victim, identified as Eyal Haddad, was living in a commune in Seine-et-Marne, the National Bureau of Vigilance against Anti-Semitism (BNVCA) said. Originally from Djerba, Tunisia, Haddad’s family now live in Beersheba in southern Israel.

According to BNVCA, the murderer, identified as Baha Deridi, was owed 100 euros by Haddad who did not pay him back. Deridi “smashed his victim’s skull with an ax, then he burned his face and even began to bury the body,” on August 20, the group said in a statement.

After he was not contactable for several days, Haddad’s family started to worry about him. Family members asked Deridi if he had seen his roommate. Deridi then turned himself in to police and confessed to the murder.

Haddad’s body, partially mutilated, was retrieved from a hole dug in an open field in Longpré-le-Sec.

Deridi admitted that he had killed Haddad because he was Jewish, the statement said.

The murder received minimal media attention and BNVCA said it was concerned by “the silence surrounding this case,” especially in light of other antisemitic murders in the country, including that of Sarah Halimi, a 65-year-old Jewish woman beaten to death in her apartment in April 2017.

Police said it was investigating whether the murder was the result of a dispute between the roommates. The antisemitism monitoring group urged authorities to prioritize the case and “examine its antisemitic character.”

Yonathan Arfi, president of the Crif Jewish umbrella organization in France, similarly called on French police to consider “the possibility of the aggravating factor of antisemitism.”

I thought he admitted to killing him because he was Jewish. Do the police refuse to believe him? Are the police and/or media covering up another Muslim act of madness?




Israel attacked ‘countless’ nuclear targets in Iran’s ‘heartland,’

Yossi Cohen said Tehran was “lying to the whole world” about its nuclear ambitions.

 August 29, 2022

Former Mossad chief Yossi Cohen on Monday said that under his tenure Israel had carried out “countless operations” in the heart of Iran against its nuclear program, adding that the Islamic Republic was “lying to the whole world” when it said its program was for peaceful purposes.

“During my term as Mossad director, countless operations were conducted against Iran’s nuclear program,” he said to an audience of 1,500 Jewish leaders at a World Zionist Organization anniversary event in Basel.

“Without going into too many details, I can tell you the Mossad had many successes in the fight against Iran’s nuclear program,” Cohen said. “We operated around the world and on Iranian soil itself, in the very heartland of the ayatollahs.”

“The Iranian regime is lying to the whole world and we proved it when we brought thousands of documents from the Iranian archives, documents that proved that the Iranians lied to the IAEA,” he said, referring to the U.N. nuclear watchdog.

“This regime calls for the destruction of the State of Israel and wiping it off of the map. We can never allow a regime that calls for our destruction to get its finger on the nuclear trigger,” he said.

“Iran seeks to encircle Israel, from Gaza in the south to Lebanon and Syria in the north. It funds, trains and arms terrorist groups like Hezbollah, Hamas, and Islamic Jihad, enabling them to shoot thousands of rockets at Israel’s civilian population,” Cohen said.

“This fanatical regime must never obtain the ability to accelerate its weapon of mass destruction that would be used against the Jewish state,” he added.

Cohen’s successor, Mossad director David Barnea, was last week quoted in Hebrew media outlets as saying the emerging nuclear deal is a “strategic disaster.”

“The agreement is a bad deal that gives Iran a license to manufacture a bomb,” Barnea reportedly said.

“The Mossad is committed to preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. The agreement does not apply to Israel, nor does the freedom of action to continue operating.”

Outrage in France as Muslim son of police officers roughed up for ‘un-Islamic’ behavior after he attended Christmas party
27 Dec 2020 16:17

A young Muslim was attacked by fellow Muslims after he posted photos online of a Christmas party he had attended. The incident has prompted top French officials to condemn Islamic “separatism” and to pledge to keep fighting it.

The incident, which occurred in the northeastern city of Belfort, was reported by local media on Saturday. The 20-year-old victim is the son of law enforcement officers.

Shortly after posting the photos of the party, he was threatened by an acquaintance who was also Muslim – hardline followers of Islam consider partaking in the festivities of another religion to be wholly inappropriate.

He blasted the young man as a “dirty son of white, son of a snake, son of police” and promised to “show” him what a “real Arab” should be. Although the tone of the conversation was far from friendly, the young man agreed to meet his accuser in person to settle their differences.

A real Arab would show up with four friends...

The outraged hardliner showed up flanked by four other man, who beat up the 20-year-old and threatened him with further violence if he reported the incident to the police. Despite the intimidation, the young man filed a complaint against his attackers, and his mother has vowed to pursue the suspects. “He walked into an ambush,” she was cited by local media as saying.

This incident must not remain without consequences. 
These are sectarian and racist behaviors. 
This is unacceptable in the 21st century. 
Everyone is free to celebrate what they want and as they wish.

Seriously? Do you know nothing about Islam?

The incident did not escape the notice of France’s top officials. Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin confirmed that the attack had taken place and an investigation had been launched. Darmanin condemned the anti-police sentiment the suspects had apparently shown and called Islamist “separatism” unacceptable.

“In Belfort, a young man was assaulted because he celebrated Christmas and was not a ‘good Arab’. ‘Aggravating’ circumstance: being the son of police officers,” the minister wrote on Twitter late on Saturday.

There’s no place for separatism in our country,
no place for racism – wherever it comes from.

In recent months, France has suffered a spate of terrorist attacks by Islamist radicals, including the gruesome beheading of a teacher outside Paris. The teacher was targeted by a young Muslim after he showed his class the infamous cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed published by the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo. While depiction of the Prophet is considered blasphemous in Islam, the provocative cartoons are considered particularly offensive by many Muslims.

In the wake of the attack, senior French officials, including President Emmanuel Macron, vowed to fight hardline Islamists by any means necessary and to weed out extreme ideology from the country. Macron’s tough response has caused diplomatic rows with a number of Muslim-majority nations, and protests against the president.

Macron's position was obvious and inevitable years ago. I must say, I am surprised that he reached that position as quickly as he did.




Prominent Saudi women’s rights activist sentenced to
nearly 6 years under terrorism laws

Loujain al-Hathloul, a renowned Saudi advocate of women’s rights, has been sentenced to five years and eight months in prison, local media have reported. However, an early release is also reportedly possible for her in February.

The 31-year-old, who rose to prominence in 2013 while campaigning for making driving licenses available to women in Saudi Arabia, has been in custody since March 2018, when she was arrested at Riyadh’s request in the United Arab Emirates.

In June 2018, women were permitted to drive for the first time in Saudi Arabia. It was the only country where it was forbidden.


She was accused of a number of crimes under Saudi counter-terrorism laws, including attempting to change the kingdom’s political system and undermining national security. According to Sabq and al-Shark al-Awsat newspapers, a court passed the sentence on her on Monday. Most of the time she remained incarcerated was deducted from the sentence and there is a possibility of a conditional early release coming as soon as the end of February, the reports said.

Hathloul’s defenders say she was subjected to humiliating treatment, sexual assault and torture while in Saudi custody. At least twice in 2020 she was reported by family as going on a hunger strike to protest the conditions of her detention. Riyadh denies the allegations of having abused its prisoner.

Last month, Hathloul’s case was transferred from a regular criminal court to a special terrorism court.

The activist was one of at least a dozen like-minded individuals arrested by Saudi Arabia in 2018.

Of the arrested activists, some have been released while their prosecutions proceed. Nassimah al-Saadah was sentenced to five years in prison with two suspended in late November, according to reports.

Saudi Arabia, a major oil producer, is a key US ally in the Middle East and a major buyer of US-made weapons. Critics say Washington tends to turn a blind eye on Riyadh’s violations of human rights, both at home and abroad, as long as American strategic interests are observed.




Kuwait: Son arrested for throwing mother and father out of family home
..
Reason was parents refusal to give him money to buy drugs

Dubai: A Kuwaiti has been arrested and put behind bars at the Salwa Police Station for expelling his parents and the family servant from their home, despite the harsh cold weather, Al Anba daily reported on Monday.

The arrest came when the father, who is believed to be in his 60s, called the Operations Room of the Ministry of Interior and complained his son had put him, his wife, and his servant out of the house.

When police went to the house and arrested the man, they discovered he was under the influence of drugs. A report by the Forensics will determine what drugs he has consuming.

The father stated the reason for his son’s actions was his refusal to give money to buy narcotics.

Netherlands, Switzerland Suspend UNRWA Funds as UN Investigates Corruption

Corruption is Everywhere, Even in the UN
By Darryl Coote

(UPI) -- The Netherlands and Switzerland have suspended funding to the United Nations aid agency for Palestinian refugees days after an ethics report alleged widespread mismanagement and misconduct.

The 10-page confidential ethics report alleged that members of an "inner circle" at the top of the United Nations Relief Work Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East engaged in "abuse of authority for personal gain, to suppress legitimate dissent and to otherwise achieve their personal objectives," according to Al Jazeera, which was the first to report on the revelation Monday.

Netherland's Foreign Trade and Development Corporation Minister Sigrid Kaag said it would be suspending its $14.5 million in funding "until we have received a satisfactory response from the U.N. in New York," Holland's NOS broadcaster reported.

The minister said they have been in close contact with both the U.N. and the UNRWA and that "we have expressed our great concerns and asked for clarification."

Earlier, Switzerland said it would temporarily suspend all future funding until the U.N. completes its investigation. It had already donated about $20 million to the agency this year.

The United Nations said in a statement that the accusations in the report were being investigated by its New York oversight committee and that it would not comment on the ethics report until the probe is completed.

"Everything circulating now, including in the media, is 'allegations' and not findings," the statement by the agency's spokeswoman Tamara Alrifai said. "If the current investigation -- once it is completed -- were to present findings that require corrective measures or other management actions, we will not hesitate to take them."

The agency has been suffering since the United States in 2018 announced that it would no longer be giving the UNRWA funding, citing its unsustainable model to deal with the crisis. The United States historically gave the organization $360 million annually.

However, on Wednesday both China and Kuwait donated millions of dollars to the embattled foundation.

The UNRWA said Kuwait donated $5 million to aid Palestinian refugees in Syria while China donated $1 million to support the agency's food assistance initiatives in Gaza.

"The government of China supported UNRWA's work for many years," China's Ambassador to Palestine Guo Wei said. "This year, with regard to the financial difficulty UNRWA faces, China continues to support UNRWA and its work."

I hope their investigation will follow the money to see if any part of it makes its way into the hands of Hamas or Hezbollah. I strongly suspect it does. I seriously doubt that the UN has the will to go that far.

RCMP Charge Kingston, Ont., Youth with Terror-Related Offence After Tip from FBI

Police arrested 2 people following raids Thursday
on 2 homes in eastern Ontario city

The RCMP's national security team has arrested and charged an Ontario youth with a terrorism-related offence, the police force said Friday following an investigation in Kingston, Ont.

Police have laid two charges against the young person, who is accused of knowingly facilitating a terrorist activity and counselling another person to "deliver, place, discharge or detonate an explosive or other lethal device ... against a place of public use with the intent to cause death or serious bodily injury."

The identity of the accused has been withheld by police as the person is a minor and protected under the Youth Criminal Justice Act.

During a press conference Friday, the RCMP said it received a "credible" tip from the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation in late December 2018 that there were individuals in Kingston planning a terrorist attack, which led to the police raids at two homes in the area Thursday.

"There was no specific target identified but there was an attack planned," RCMP Superintendent Peter Lambertucci told reporters. While an attack was considered imminent, the officer said there was no credible threat to the people of Kingston.

"I want to reassure the citizens of the greater Kingston, Ont., area and all Canadians that during the investigation, our primary focus was the safety and protection of the public," said Michael LeSage, a chief superintendent with the RCMP's "O" Division.

After the arrests, the RCMP found "elements" and "trace elements" of homemade improvised explosive devices in an unspecified residence. The explosive substance was later neutralized, Lambertucci said.

A second individual, an adult male CBC News has identified as Hussam Eddin Alzahabi, was also arrested Thursday but has not been charged.

Lambertucci said the investigation is still ongoing. Police have 24 hours to press charges against Alzahabi or release him from custody.

The officer would not comment on the ideological motivations of the people apprehended or say if they had any ties to foreign elements.

Police described the relationship between Hussam Eddin Alzahabi and the person charged as an "informal friendship."

Earlier Friday, the father of Hussam Eddin Alzahabi said he was astounded by the arrest of his 20-year-old son.

"They tell me they search about him about terrorists. I know my son, he didn't think about that. He like Canada. He like the safety in Canada. How could he think about that?" Amin Alzahabi, who has been in Canada since 2017, told CBC News' Philip Ling in an interview from his home Friday morning.

"It's fake news about my son. I trust my son. I know he cannot do anything against any human, humanity. They inspected everything from my house. They didn't find anything. I think this is not good."

In  carrying out the arrests, the RCMP were supported by both Kingston police and FBI officers with support from the Ontario Provincial Police, Canada Border Services Agency, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service and the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada (FINTRAC).

On Thursday, officers could be seen carrying bags of evidence out of the homes. By Friday morning, the police presence was contained to just one residence.

Alzahabi said his family, originally from Syria, has been living in Canada since July 2017, following time spent in Kuwait from 2008 to 2017.

According to a bulletin posted to the website of a Kingston-area Catholic church detailing the journey of the Alzahabi family, an ecumenical group of churches helped bring them to Canada through the private sponsorship refugee program in 2016-17.

The church group established a series of committees, including a hospitality and orientation committee composed of parishioners, and raised more than $30,000 to help support the family's transition to life in Canada.

Alzahabi said he and his family came to Canada to be "liberated" and to avoid being sent back to Syria — which is still in the throes of a multi-year bloody civil war — by the Kuwaiti government.

"I want to save my family from Assad regime in Syria," he said, referring to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad​, who's accused of perpetrating war crimes against his own people.

"I wanted to come to Canada and I [succeeded] in coming to Canada because I trust Canada. I trust this country is for the humanity ... freedom," Alzahabi said.

To that end, Amin Alzahabi said his son was completing high school upgrades at Loyalist Collegiate & Vocational Institute with the hope he could then continue his studies at a university.

In a statement, Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale said police took action Thursday "based on credible information, to ensure public safety."

The minister said the operation has not changed the country's threat level. It remains at "medium," where it has hovered since late 2014.

However, the threat was considered serious enough to involve months of investigation, thousands of hours of police work and the use of a Pilatus PC-12 RCMP surveillance plane that had been circling over Kingston in recent weeks for hours on end, creating a great deal of interest from residents due to the noise.

The noise, whether it was loud or just unusual, would certainly draw attention to the aircraft, along with it's apparent tendency to hover near the suspected homes. It just seems to me that surveillance should be a lot more discreet. 

Spokespeople for both the FBI and the U.S. Department of Justice referred all questions to the RCMP.

Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer commended the work of the RCMP and local police while adding the continuing terrorist threat demands strong national security legislation to help law enforcement.

Scheer also said Canada's "refugee screening process needs to be seriously examined."

"We've recently learned of several examples of dangerous individuals entering the country due in part to lax screening procedures," Scheer said.

"In 2017, as an audit of the Canada Border Services Agency reported, 39 cases did not receive the necessary security screening and therefore, potential security threats may not have been identified prior to granting admissibility. This is completely unacceptable and must be immediately remedied."

Canadians, like our Very Liberal leadership, like to think that refugees just want to escape war and hardship and come to a land that is free and easy. We think they will be so appreciative of our welcoming them that they would never think to commit any evil against Canadian society. And for the most part, that is true.

There may be, however, some extreme Muslims who get through the screening, or around the screening, but they are likely to be very few. What is obvious from this report and many others I have posted with regard to Europe, it is the next generation that fails to appreciate Canadian hospitality and, as documented in the UK, the next generation tends to be more devout, or more radicalized than their parents.

Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and other Gulf States are allowed to support mosques in Canada with the expectation, or the intent, to teach Salafism. Salafism is an intense form of Islam based on Sharia. 

Our Very Liberal Party, our Very Liberal PM, and our very liberal Mainstream Media, are completely blind to this.

Arab Singer Criticizes Arab World as 'Hell' and West as Paradise

Saudi-born singer Shams Bandar Al-Aslami
The 28-year-old Saudi-born singer Shams Bandar Al-Aslami might not have been so popular before but after making some bold comments about the Arab world she is getting the limelight almost everywhere.

Shams was interviewed recently where she lamented on the worrisome situation that a number of Arab countries are currently going through, blaming the Arab world in general for hypocrisy on the matter. Her comments were pretty hard hitting and got criticized all over the Arab countries because it is not usual for an Arab to speak out so openly against his/ her fellow Arabs.

Shams Bandar, on the other hand, has recently announced that she is giving up her Saudi and Kuwaiti nationality and taking on a European nationality. In the interview, she was inquired as to the reasons for this. When she was probed with questions about why she regarded the Arab world as “hell” and the west as “paradise,” she finally spoke up:

WHY TELL OURSELVES LIES? THE SYRIANS ARE SCATTERED IN THE WORLD’S OCEANS, DYING BY THE MILLIONS ON A DAILY BASIS… IRAQIS ARE DYING BY THE MILLIONS… ALL THE ARAB COUNTRIES HAVE CLOSED THEIR BORDERS TO THEM. WHAT CAN THESE WRETCHED PEOPLE DO WITH THEIR ARAB CITIZENSHIP? HOW DOES A SUFFERING SYRIAN BENEFIT FROM HIS ARAB CITIZENSHIP, WHEN HIS CHILDREN AND FAMILY HAVE BEEN KILLED AND HIS LIFE HAS BEEN DESTROYED? HIS OWN ARAB BRETHREN DO NOT LET HIM IN.

Defending the west and comparing it against the practices of Arab she taunted whether the former chopped off heads, decapitated people, stoned or publicly executed them before moving on to talk about ISIS and how they are the stark opposite of the west at least as far as laws and constitutions are concerned.

“For 1,400 years we have been slaughtering one another, just because one of us prays one way and another prays a different way,” Shams Bandar said and concluded that 1400 years ago the USA was not there then why on earth is the Arab world blaming them for everything.

Watch the remarkable interview:


Please pray for this woman's safety. Arabs don't take kindly to criticism; the truth is abhorrent to them. They especially don't like it coming from a woman.

Prince Charles, Defender of the Faith - Did Anyone See That Coming?

Prince Charles takes tough message about Islam… right into the heart of Islam. Who knew he had it in him?

While the President of the United States is extremely reluctant to condemn radical Islamists, and more easily condemns the Christian defence of Europe a millennium ago, other leaders are stepping up to lead the fight against the destructive and murderous ideology.

Prince Charles
The United Kingdom’s Prince Charles is in the middle of a week-long tour of the Middle East, where it is expected that he will deliver a strong message to Muslim leaders regarding the prevalence and growth of the radical Islamist mindset.

According to Mad World News, the Crown Prince intends to demand that Muslim leaders in the U.K, and around the world, stop radicalizing young people, and to show some respect for Western culture and values.

He is also telling them that any Muslims who come to the U.K. need to abide by the English standards that are already in place, and stop trying to force their way of life on the people who were there before them. He should maybe tell the people in the UK.

“The radicalization of people in Britain is a great worry,” the prince told the BBC. “The extent to which this is happening is alarming, particularly in a country like our’s where we hold values dear.”
Ouch! I heard that smack!

The prince is further troubled by how rampant the radical ideology is on the Internet, and how easy it is for young people to be radicalized online.

Such a strong stance against radical Islam and in defense of Christianity has elevated the prince to the historic title of “defender of the faith.”

The prince has lived up to the title by calling out Islam for the persecution of Christians and other minority religions in the Middle East, by unequivocally stating that Christians were in the region first, hundreds of years before the arrival of Islam.

He has strongly denounced the atrocious actions of the Islamic State, and how they have slaughtered and exiled hundreds of thousands of Christians and Yazidis from northern Iraq.  He says that if this continues there may soon come a day when there are no more Christians in the Middle East.

King Abdullah II
“The tragedy is even greater because Christians have been in the Middle East for 2,000 years, before Islam came in the 8th Century,” Charles stated.

The prince’s tour begins with a meeting with King Abdullah II in Jordan, before also traveling to Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and the United Arab Emirates, where he will also hopefully address the funding for radical Islamic terrorism that originate in those countries. Good luck with that, Your Highness!

We commend Prince Charles for standing up in defense of the Christian faith, particularly in the Middle East, and will pray for his safe and successful return from the region.

We really should be praying for his safety; you know how much Muslims like hearing the truth.
