In Denmark, first blasphemy charge since 1971

[AlAhram] A Danish prosecutor says a 42-year-old man in northern Denmark has been charged with blasphemy for allegedly burning the Quran and posting a video of it on Facebook. Jan Reckendorff says it was the first time since 1971 that a person was charged for "publicly mocking a religious community's religious doctrines or worship," adding it is punishable by imprisonment for up to four months or fine.

Reckendorff said Wednesday the man, who wasn't identified, burned the Quran in his backyard and posted the video Dec. 27, 2015 on an anti-Muslim Facebook page. No date for a trial was set.

Swedish citizen jailed for Facebook call to fund Islamic State

[IsraelTimes] A Swedish citizen was sentenced to six months in jail Thursday for inciting people to finance the Islamic State (IS) group through Facebook, a landmark case for the country. In a Facebook account linked to Ahmad Qadan, 34, a post written in Swedish and published on August 21, 2013 said: “Help us supply our brothers at the front with weapons so they can avenge their brothers and sisters.”

Malmo district court judge Lennart Strinas said the case had no precedent in Sweden.
"Forget it, bub. It's Malmo -- they're like that there."
Those who read the post were urged to call two named men to receive a bank account number where money could be sent, the court said.One of the named men in the post is listed as a terror financier by the United Nations and the European Union. The posts “had been published in such a way that anyone with access to the Internet could read them, even people without a Facebook account,” the court said.

In his testimony, Qadan denied the charges and said he took over the Facebook account in 2014 from a person whose name he did not know. The account had been opened under the name Ash-Shaami As-Suwedi.

Hate crime charge dropped in rape-robbery of French Jewish couple

[IsraelTimes] French prosecutors dropped hate crime charges in the case of four men suspected of rape and robbery at a suburban Paris home they acknowledged was targeted because it belonged to Jews. The magistrate responsible for conducting the investigative hearing that precedes a criminal trial decided against including hate crime charges in the 2014 incident in Creteil, the Le Parisien weekly reported Tuesday.

The draft indictment charges the four with group rape, armed robbery, abduction and conspiracy to commit a crime, but contains no reference to violence on ethnic or religious grounds, the Le Parisien reported. The Creteil rape allegedly occurred while one armed suspect guarded the woman’s boyfriend and another took his credit card to a cash machine. The victims said the assailants hurled anti-Semitic insults at them.

Over 1,000 migrants rescued in 48 hours from Mediterranean

[IsraelTimes] More than 1,000 migrants have been rescued in the Mediterranean Sea during several operations in the last 48 hours, and many more are expected to attempt the perilous journey as winter ends.

Rescuers found 332 people on Thursday in three separate rubber boats traveling north of the Libyan coast, according to Proactiva Open Arms, the nonprofit that operates the Golfo Azzurro rescue vessel. The Golfo Azzurro was escorting them to a port in Sicily.
Providing profitable employment for people smugglers across Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. Idiots.
In a separate operation, Italy’s coast guard said that some of the 730 migrants rescued during seven different operations Wednesday were brought ashore Thursday.

Hungary to erect new fence to deter migrants

[IsraelTimes] The Hungarian government says it plans to start building a new fence on the border with Serbia in the spring because of the risk that large numbers of migrants may try to enter the country. Janos Lazar, Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s chief of staff, says that work on the second barrier will start as soon as weather conditions allow. Lazar says the government will spend some 38 billion forints ($130.7 million) on erecting the new fence and to set up shipping containers in transit zones at the Serbian border.

Asylum-seekers will be forced to wait there while their requests for protection are reviewed by Hungarian officials.

The firebrand MP, who has courted controversy with his hardline anti-Islam, anti-immigrant stance and his incendiary insults against Moroccans and Turks, has long been under 24-hour police protection.

Tensions are escalating ahead of the election in which the Freedom Party is running neck-and-neck with the Liberals of Prime Minister Mark Rutte.
