223% increase of attacks against Muslims in France
Submitted by SAT2014
[SouthAfricaToday] The number of attacks against Muslims has dramatically increased in France following a series of terrorist attacks in 2015, the US Department of Sate said in its annual International Religious Freedom Report released on Wednesday.

“Subsequent to the January and November terrorist attacks, there were reports of violent attacks against Muslims around the country,” the report stated. “The Interior Ministry reported a sharp increase in anti-Muslim incidents, up by 223 percent over the previous year.”

Relative of Charlie Hebdo Killer Agrees to Extradition

[AnNahar] The brother-in-law of one of the Islamic extremists behind the January 2015 attack on French magazine Charlie Hebdo on Wednesday agreed to his extradition from Bulgaria but denied being a "terrorist."

Hamyd was arrested last month in Turkey while allegedly trying to enter Syria to join jihadists. He was handed over to Bulgarian authorities on July 28 and France issued a European arrest warrant. He was tracked down to have taken a train through Hungary, Serbia and Bulgaria -- a route that French prosecutors said "corresponds to the one traditionally taken by jihadist fighters wanting to join the Islamic State in Syria or Iraq."

A search of his computer also found "numerous and recent visits to sites with jihadist content."

Two planes land safely in Brussels after bomb threats

[IsraelTimes] Two international flights landed safely at Brussels airport late Wednesday following bomb alerts that turned out to be false, the Belgian federal prosecutor’s office said. The federal prosecutor’s spokesman Eric Van der Sijpt said he could not describe the exact nature of the bomb threats but added they concerned two flights by Scandinavian airlines SAS from Oslo and Stockholm.

“There is still an ongoing investigation concerning a possible threat,” Van der Sijpt told AFP. “But at least the threats on those two planes are negative.”

Danish police arrest asylum seeker who threatened to blow himself up

[AlAhram] Danish police arrested a 22-year-old Iranian asylum seeker on Wednesday after he threatened to blow himself up on the roof of the building where he was staying. The police said in a statement the man had wanted to commit suicide over "a broken heart", signalling it was over a private romantic affair, not intended as a political gesture.
Just the kind of person one wants as a new citizen of one's hitherto civilized country...
A police negotiator persuaded the man to give up his plan, the statement said. Police declined to comment further on the incident and would not say whether the man had carried explosives.

Germany turning away and deporting more migrants

[DeutscheWelle] Germany turned away 50 percent more people at its border in the first half of 2016 than in the whole of last year, according to government figures released on Tuesday. Border control officers stopped some 13,324 people from entering the country up until the end of June, compared to 8,913 in 2015, the new Interior Ministry figures show.

Germany also looks set to increase its number of deportations - with 13,743 in the first six months of 2016, compared to 20,888 in the whole of 2015. The numbers suggest that the introduction of border controls in September 2015 and the increased pressure on local authorities to deport more migrants from Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere has started to show results.

The figures also show that some 3,322 Iraqis and 2,305 Afghans left the country voluntarily with government support.

Erdogan fans boycott Gulen-friendly shops in Germany

[DeutscheWelle] Supporters of Recep Tayyip Erdogan are boycotting German businesses linked to the Turkish president's main rival, Die Zeit reported on Wednesday. A list of businesses thought to be sympathetic to the US-based cleric Fethullah Gulen in Germany has been shared on social networks such as Twitter and WhatsApp; the newspaper reported that some businesses were even singled out in sermons at mosques. They included hairstylists, construction companies, restaurants, produce vendors and even medical doctors.

Business owners in Berlin, the populous state of North Rhine-Westphalia and the southwestern Baden-Württemberg told Die Zeit that they had been yelled at on the streets and called traitors to the homeland and terrorists. The newspaper reported that some business owners fear physical violence.
