Hague: Muslim party wants dog ban
Hasan Küçük, Hague councilor for the Islam Democrats, says dogs should be banned as pets in the city, reports De Telegraaf. The Muslim party says that the animals belong in nature, not inside the house. Küçük says that keeping dogs is animal abuse and should therefore be criminalized.

He responded sharply during a council debate last Thursday, when the Party for Animals suggested more consideration for dogs.
They're both nuts. 'Party for Animals'? Does Fido get a vote in this?

But as Joseph Mendiola might say, I ain't got no dog in this fight. Rwwf.
Paul ter Linden (PVV councillor) responded saying that pets are the norm in the Netherlands, and whoever disagrees should move to another country.

#1  From Bukhari Vol. 4, #540

Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar: Allah's Apostle ordered that the dogs should be killed.

From Abu Dawud #2839

Abd Allah B. Mughaffal reported the apostle of Allah as saying: Were dogs not a species of creature I should command that they all be killed; but kill every pure black one.

#2  Muslims in the Netherlands don't realize yet that every time they open their yap these days it is a recruiting pitch for Geert Wilders Party For Freedom.

Brussels to take control of taxation and spending in eurozone countries
This should be fun, a bloodless Anschluss of Europe. I'll have of whatever the EU politicians are smoking. It certainly causes weird behavior.
The European Union is to gain dramatic powers to control tax and spending in crisis-hit eurozone countries under a deal to save the currency. The EU will have to agree the national budgets of heavily indebted countries under a deal to be signed tomorrow at a summit in Brussels attended by David Cameron.

The move will mean Greece losing control over its own budget, after Germany and the International Monetary Fund laid down increasingly harsh conditions for the indebted nation to receive its second £100 billion eurozone bail-out.

With the country on the brink of default, Christine Lagarde, the managing director of the IMF, yesterday revealed that a "fiscal compact" was set to be signed by European Union leaders at their summit tomorrow.

The move to closer integration between the eurozone economies comes just days before Tory Euro-sceptics launch a campaign to repatriate powers over policing and justice already handed to the European Union.

Conservative MPs will put pressure on the Prime Minister to harness a "block opt-out" that will allow Britain simultaneously to withdraw from European Arrest Warrants, compulsory sharing of data with other police forces, and more than 100 other laws handed to Brussels.

#1  tipper, good post. I appreciate your efforts. This may be a push to purge undesirables. Where does it end?. This is a program that I can see Obama types wishing to implement. Forget the constitution. It's a living document that can be updated to reflect modern times. :-(

#2  Because Brussels is just SOOO good at bureaucracy.

Of course a centralised, far away and culturally different bureaucrat from a different demos will of course make the right decisions for his serfs.

I wonder when these unelected fools start getting "removed from their posts" the non-democratic way.
