Guess having the recruiters call the cops on them didn't turn out so well.

Yeah, because the previous Islamic inspired shooting at Fort Hood didn't provide you motivation to take actions.
[RFE/RL] The imam of a large mosque in southern Kyrgyzstan is on trial for inciting religious discord. Kyrgyz human rights groups Bir Duyno (One World) and Kylym Shamy (Torch of the Century) reported security measures were beefed up near the judicial building as Imam Rashod Qori Kamolov's trial began on July 24.
Kamolov, the imam at the As-Sarakhsi Mosque in Osh and an influential religious cleric, was arrested in February on suspicion of being an active Hizb ut-Tahrir member and for calling for the establishment of a caliphate in Kyrgyzstan. He pleaded not guilty.
Kamolov has previously been detained by authorities in Kyrgyzstan, causing large protests in Osh's Kara-Suu district by some of his thousands of followers.
Kamolov's father, Rafiq Qori Kamalov, was the imam at the same mosque before being killed in 2006 in an operation that Uzbek security forces took part in.
[RUDAW.NET] The White House says The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... has the right to defend itself against terrorist attacks by Kurdish rebels.
Turkey has started striking Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems.... krazed killers, which helps the US-led coalition, but also began attacking Kurds.
The US has been relying on Kurds associated with the Kurdistan Workers' Party, or PKK, to make progress against ISIS.
White House front man Alistair Baskey is strongly condemning recent terrorist attacks by the PKK, which the US has designated a terrorist group. He's also pointing out that Turkey is a NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A cautionary tale of cost-benefit analysis.... ally of the U.S.

[NYTIMES] As Turkish fighter jets pounded Kurdish militia targets in northern Iraq late Friday, the implications of the attack weighed heavily on Turks and Kurds across the border in The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... , as they faced the prospect of being drawn back into a bloody civil conflict after years of relative peace.
In 2013, Turkey brokered a historic settlement with the separatist Kurdistan Workers' Party, or P.K.K., vowing to grant the long-suppressed Kurdish minority greater rights and autonomy in exchange for a cease-fire after a three-decade insurgency that had claimed more than 40,000 lives.
The cease-fire brought calm and stability to Turkey's volatile, predominately Kurdish southeast region. But the grinding of the peace processor sputtered last month, prompting waves of small-scale violence as Kurds grew frustrated over what they saw as the government's inadequate response to their demands. That sudden shift occurred as President Recep Tayyip Erdogan ... Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him... was trying to bolster nationalist support before parliamentary elections in June.

Since civil war has worked so well for Syria an Iraq I can see why Turkey want's one.
[Pak Daily Times] Jamaat-e-Islami ...The Islamic Society, founded in 1941 in Lahore by Maulana Sayyid Abul Ala Maududi, aka The Great Apostosizer. The Jamaat opposed the independence of Bangladesh but has operated an independent branch there since 1975. It maintains close ties with international Mohammedan groups such as the Moslem Brotherhood. the Taliban, and al-Qaeda. The Jamaat's objectives are the establishment of a pure Islamic state, governed by Sharia law. It is distinguished by its xenophobia, and its opposition to Westernization, capitalism, socialism, secularism, and liberalist social mores... leader Senator Sirajul Haq ...current head of the Pak Jamaat-e-Islami. Siraj was born in 1962 and entered politics shortly after that... on Sunday called for strict accountability of the government functionaries responsible for irregularities in the election 2013 in the light of the latest inquiry commission's report.
He was addressing a seminar -- held in memory of former Jamaat leader Mian Tufail Muhammad on the occasion of his sixth death anniversary. Siraj said that irregularities had been committed by the functionaries appointed by the government and they must be taken to task for that.
He suggested to the government to hold an all parties' conference (APC) to discuss the inquiry report and for introducing electoral reforms so that the elections in future could be free from such irregularities, fair and transparent. Without reference, he said that the constitution had not been implemented even for a single day and as the rulers themselves were the biggest hurdle in this way.
-- Code of ethics for media, law against obscenity --
He also said that he had met Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif ... served two non-consecutive terms as prime minister, heads the Pakistain Moslem League (Nawaz). Noted for his spectacular corruption, the 1998 Pak nuclear test, border war with India, and for being tossed by General Musharraf... in the Masjid-e-Nabvi during the month of Ramazan and requested him to order abolition of interest-based economic system, stop obscenity through the media and framing a code of ethics for the media and for ending the proxy war in order to restore peace.
-- Victimization of Jamaat's Bangladesh leaders --
He said that he had also met Adviser on Foreign Affairs Sartaj Aziz ...Adviser to Pak Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on National Security and Foreign Affairs, who believes in good jihadis and bad jihadis as a matter of national policy... and called upon the government to raise voice on the victimization of Jamaat-e-Islami Bangladesh leaders by the government of the loathesome Sheikh Hasina ...Bangla dynastic politician and current Prime Minister of Bangladesh. She has been the President of the Bangla Awami League since the Lower Paleolithic. She is the eldest of five children of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the founding father of Bangla. Her party defeated the BNP-led Four-Party Alliance in the 2008 parliamentary elections. She has once before held the office, from 1996 to 2001, when she was defeated in a landslide. She and the head of the BNP, Khaleda Zia show such blind animosity toward each other that they are known as the Battling Begums.. Wajed. He also said that it was incumbent upon the government to support Kashmiris' struggle for independence. However, if you can't be a good example, then you'll just have to be a horrible warning... he said that rulers had been sabotaging the freedom movement of Kashmiris. Former law minister SM Zafar was among the participants.

[Pak Daily Times] Myanmar has deployed an additional brigade comprising around 6,000 men and officers along the border with India, apparently to prevent any more surgical strikes by the Indian Army inside its territory, The Hindu newspaper quoted senior Indian government official as saying.
The brigade has been deployed in addition to five already posted along the 1,643km-long Indo-Myanmar border, the official said. The additional deployment has been apparently made to prevent the Indian Army commandos from carrying out any more attacks on the camps of 'insurgent groups' based in the neighbouring country like they did on June 9, the paper quoted the official as saying.
Myanmar was upset with India after a crack team of about 70 commandos of the Indian Army, equipped with assault rifles, rocket launchers, grenades and night vision goggles, was airdropped from helicopters and attacked two camps -- believed to be run by krazed killers. The operation was carried out after the Naga bandidosbully boyz killed 18 soldiers in an ambush in Chandel area of Manipur on June 4.

Sounds like a pretty good reprisal strategy. Maybe we can use it in LA.
[Pak Daily Times] Pakistain Moslem League--N candidate Rana Akhtar Ali on Sunday defeated Pakistain Tehrik-e-Insaf ...a political party in Pakistan. PTI was founded by former Pakistani cricket captain and philanthropist Imran Khan. The party's slogan is Justice, Humanity and Self Esteem, each of which is open to widely divergent interpretations.... (PTI) candidate Ehsanullah Virk by massive margin in PP-100 by-election.
Akhtar defeated Ehsanullah by over 21,000 votes in the by-election. According to unofficial results, the PML-N has won its seat again in the by-election. Akhtar bagged 49,991 votes while his opponent -- the PTI candidate -- could secure only 28,380 votes. I think the PTI's bubble may have burst with the report on election irregularities that make Imran look like the fool he is.

[RUDAW.NET] An Iraqi military commander said that the planners of a deadly bombing in Diyala earlier this month would be executed on the site of the attack, adding that some security officers were also behind the bombing.
"Investigations into the Khan Bani Saad bombing showed that an officer at a checkpoint had betrayed and let the truck bomb pass through," said Abdul Amir Zaidi, commander of the Dijla Operation forces in a presser on Saturday.
Zaidi said that families of the victims have asked for the criminal masterminds to be executed on the site of bombing and that "after gaining official consent the execution will be upheld there."
On July 18, a deadly bomb struck a busy market in the town of Khan Bani Saad in Diyala province, killing at least 115 people and wounding dozens more.
The Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi.

Zaidi said that his forces have placed in durance vile Drop the rod and step away witcher hands up! a number of people suspected of planning the bombing as well as members of the police force charged with negligence.
A day after the bombing Muhammad Salim Ghaban, Iraq's interior minister announced that several security officers were taken to custody for their part in the attack.

[RUDAW.NET] On the second day of Turkish Arclight airstrikes against the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), Kurdistan Region President Masoud Barzani urged both sides to resort to peaceful means and preserve the Kurds' recent political gains in The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... "What you can achieve through peace won't be achieved through fighting," Barzani said in a personal message, explaining he wanted to clarify his and Kurdistan's role in helping the PKK negotiate peace with Ankara.
His message came as Turkey carried out a number of Arclight airstrikes against PKK positions in the Qandil Mountains for a second day.
"I found it necessary to express my own attitude regarding the PKK-Turkey tensions, because there were wrong interpretations and information being given in my name," Barzani said in his late night message.
"I am not interested in conflict, and I have never supported it even for a second," he said.
Barzani noted that the Kurds had made headway in their pursuit of greater political and cultural rights in Turkey with the creation of the Peoples Democratic Party (HDP), which brought the Kurdish cause to the center stage.

[Khaama (Afghanistan)] The Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Syed Ali Khamenei has tweeted a picture of the US President Barack Obama If I had a son he'd look like Trayvon... committing suicide despite a landmark nuclear deal between Iran and the US.
The graphic posted on Khamenei's Twitter account that appears to depict President B.O. holding a gun to his head.
A message was also accompanied with the graphic stating "US president has said he could knock out Iran's military. We welcome no war, nor do we initiate any war, but.."
The caption above the tweet sent by Khamenei continues to read "if any way happens, the one who will emerge loser will be aggressive and criminal US."
Khamenei posted a similar message on July 17 that didn't contain an image, but said "US pres. said he could knock out Iran's army. Of course we neither welcome, nor begin war, but in case of war, US will leave it disgraced."

US President Barack Obama committing suicide despite a landmark nuclear deal between Iran and the US.

The way I saw that picture it looked like Obama was being used to depict the United States committing suicide, kinda the way Uncle Sam is normally used. Maybe the ayatollah doesn't know about the image of Uncle Sam or, more likely, he just has that much contempt for Obama. Either way it was inappropriate. But then what do you expect from a man who refers to us as the Great Satan and publicly, repeatedly calls for our death? If we had a president worthy of the office the picture would have been of him aiming a nuclear missile at Tehran.

This needs to be fixed: "The Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Syed Ali Khamenei has tweeted a picture of the US President Barack Obamacommitting suicide despite because of a landmark nuclear deal between Iran and the US."
The way I, and apparently the Iranian leadership, see it Obama was elected because he was the best embodiment of the American electorate's suicidally masochistic disposition.
The US Congress has approved of the deal that will make Iran a nuclear power by passing the failure theater bill.
The people most likely to succeed Obama, Hillary Clinton and Jeb Bush are in support as well (Hillary explicitly, Bush all but explicitly).
Given this consensus in the US, why should a rational nuclear Iran feel deterred?

After all that has happened, IMO its safe to say all that remains is for Unitarian Washington to admit Iran is now the US' BFF/BFRF in the ME + a US Superpower "Equal", PROLLY LIKELY AFTER THE BAMMER FORMALLY LEAVES OFFICE IN JAN. 2017.
As for Iran El Supremo Ayatollah Khamenei, better or more Media/PR-effective for the Bammer to be assassinated + portrayed as a "JFK/Gandhi-style" Martyr for OWG + World Peace, unless the Bammer can turn Japanese + commit seppuku on National TV, CNN like a certain famous or notorious troubled Nippon Poet back in the 1970's.

[ALMANAR.LB] A final statement was issued on Saturday, capping two days of activities within the International Media Conference against Terrorism held in Damascus. al-Manure is of course the news outlet of Hezbollah, which once used a truck bomb to murder 299 American and French troops in Beirut.
The statement, named “Damascus Declaration”, called for placing all of the terrorist organizations on the UN and international terror lists and considering them “a common enemy” to all countries and people of the world. That wouldn't include PFLP-GC, naturally, which is owned and operated by the Syrian government.
It demanded Security Council decisions and resolutions be issued to compel all countries to confront terrorism by all possible means and cut off support and funding support to terrorist organizations, SANA agency reported. So they're giving up on their creatures, like the guys who assassinated Rafiq Hariri in Beirut?
The Declaration called for launching a systematic regional and international action with cooperation and coordination among all the countries on the political, security and military levels to organize confronting the terrorist organizations and come to holding to account any country that provides any form of support to them. That'd be hits at Soddy Arabia and the Gulf states, and Israel of course.
Setting up an international legal system to prosecute the backers of terrorism That would seem to fall under the heading of the ICC. We can see how well that's working.
and taking measures to ban media outlets from promoting the activities of terrorist organizations were focused on in the Declaration. "Banning" such activities from "media outlets" is probably a hopeless proposition. In the U.S., as in lots of other countries, freedom of the press is a rule. Using such outlets to track down and kill (or convict if you're squeamish) would be much preferred.
Among other demands was providing support for the countries and governments facing terrorism, mainly Iraq, Syria, Libya, Egypt, Yemen, Afghanistan, Tunisia and Algeria. That's already the case for most of them. Algeria has been handling AQIM and its offshoots pretty well on its own. Egypt is tackling its Sinai problem, though it's too early to tell if they're going to be successful.
Drawing up a joint media work plan for spreading awareness of confronting takfiri thinking and refuting the so-called “Islamophobia” was also called for. Islamophobia--the fear that Moslems will act like they usually do--is the natural fallout from their behavior. Individually they can be nice enough fellows, but in large numbers they are violent, offensive to the host country's culture, a danger to adolescent girls, and afflicted with delusions of religious grandeur.
The Declaration did not lose sight of the Palestinian Cause, stressing that this issue will remain at the core of the ongoing conflict with Israel, designating the latter as “the most dangerous epitome of state terrorism.” Harboring, aiding, and abetting various violent Paleostinian groups is fine, y'see?
It stressed that the axis of the resistance is “the hope of the region’s countries” to get rid of injustice, repression, aggression and takfiri terrorism. "Takfiri terrorism" is Moslems preying on other Moslems.
The participants in the conference announced the formation of a committee tasked with following-up on its outcomes as a prelude for launching an international media gathering against terrorism that would be based in Damascus. Or wherever Assad sets up his government in exile.
At the end of the conference, the participants addressed a message to President Bashar al-Assad in which they hailed Syria’s “matchless steadfastness” in confronting the terrorist aggression, stressing that Syria, which is leading the war against terrorism, will remain the “haven of freedom-fighters in the world.” Yeah, yeah, yeah. And everybody admires Kim Jong Un's hairstyle. Assad's people rose up in their wrath to topple him and his dynasty. It's the population's misfortune that the Moslem Brotherhood moved in to take advantage of it, and then the takfiri moved in after them.

Assad's speech, while confident, came in the fifth year of a conflict pitting his forces against rebels, Islamist forces of Evil and the Lion of IslamIslamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more.

The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... , which has long backed the rebels, has begun striking the IS group and Kurdish fighters battling the Lion of Islams, adding a new layer of complexity to a brutal war with no end in sight.
Assad's televised speech Sunday morning, given to local dignitaries in the Syrian capital, Damascus, was his first public address since he was sworn in for a third, seven-year term in July last year. Assad has given interviews to several Arab and international media outlets in the meantime.
Assad acknowledged that his generals have had to move forces from one front to another in order to protect areas that are militarily, politically or economically more important. He added that the loss of some areas to forces of Evil has led to "frustration" among Syrians.
Syrian forces have suffered several setbacks since March, including the loss of the northwestern city of Idlib, the capital of a province that borders Turkey. In May, the government lost the historic central town of Palmyra to IS Lion of Islams, who also captured parts of the northeastern city of Hassakeh.
