Google translate Omar al-Haddouchi, the infamous ideological leader of the jihadist movement in Morocco, has a bizarre fatwa: All Muslims must as soon as possible to leave France for North African countries.
Okay, he's got our interest...
According to the preacher, Muslims have nothing to look for in France include the burka ban, mitigating the call to Friday prayers and tighter controls on Muslim radicals after the terrorist attack in Toulouse.
Also among Dutch Muslim radical sheik has many supporters. Al-Haddouchi was sentenced to thirty years in prison because of his connections to the perpetrators of the suicide bombings in Casablanca in May 2003, but was released from prison last year after the Moroccan King Mohammed VI gave him a pardon. Omar al-Haddouchi compares non-Muslim countries with "a toilet where you leave a big message and then leave."
In his fatwa, pronounced in a 14 minute video speech, which is currently circulating on jiadwebsites said Al-Haddouchi: "Do your best in spreading this message and do your best in saving people and getting them out of the darkness of ignorance and disbelief at the expanse of Islam. If someone is weak in Sharia knowledge, the only thing he has to do is to walk away from the countries of the infidels, especially in our time. You must depart from the land of the infidels."
Only problem is, what if the Dar-al-Islam doesn't want you?

Unfortunately, this means that France is going to start getting hit with terrorist chemical weapons in the near future. That is why the Turban is getting his followers out of France ASAP, so that they will not be the dead Muslims that the French pile up in retaliation for the chemical attacks.

Muslim brotherhood is taking over France and hooking up with the brothers in Germany as soon as they get the green light to do so from the Obama administration!

Have to agree wid #4 - given how many Jihadi Groups are setting up throughout Europe or desire to, I see no reason to issue such a Fatwa unless al-Haddouchi knows something Paris or Brussels, etc. does NOT???

CIA or MI6 or whomever should have set up a false version of this a long time ago. Happy that the real thing came along even if Shieldwolf might be right about the reason why.

[An Nahar] President Nicolas Sarkozy ...23rd and current President of the French Republic and ex officio Co-Prince of Andorra. Sarkozy is married to singer-songwriter Carla Bruni, who has a really nice birthday suit... formally admitted Saturday that La Belle France failed in its duty towards the Algerian loyalists who fought on Gay Paree' side in their country's war of independence.
Around 60,000 pro-French Algerians, known as "harkis", came to La Belle France after the war, but approximately as many again were abandoned to face bloody reprisals in Algeria at the hands of their pro-independence countrymen.
"La Belle France should have protected the harkis from history, it did not do so. La Belle France bears this historic responsibility, and it is this responsibility that I have come here to recognize," Sarkozy said in the southern city of Perpignan.
"La Belle France should, as it has always done, look history in the face and admit the mistakes it has made. In this instance, nothing can explain and nothing can excuse our abandoning of those who chose the side of La Belle France," he said.
Today, the harkis and their descendants represent around 500,000 people in La Belle France, many of them still living in poverty, and making up a sizable pool of possible voters in next week's French presidential election.
Sarkozy's main opponent in his re-election battle is the Socialist Party's Francois Hollande, who has already promised to accept La Belle France's guilt if he is elected in the two-round vote, to be held on April 22 and May 6.
This year marks the 50th anniversary of the accords that brought the Algerian War of Independence to an end, and so the withdrawal of the French colonial administration and French and harki forces.
(Ma'an) -- "Passengers on Lufthansa flights have not committed any offense, and do not accept these mafia-methods, favored by governments complicit in the imprisonment of the Paleostinian people," a group organizing a visit by foreigners said Friday.
"Therefore, with the support of many friends, they will appear as scheduled at their airports boarding this weekend, a reminder that the West Bank, nor the rest of Paleostine, does not belong to Israel," they said.
The mayor of Bethlehem on Tuesday urged Israel not to humiliate hundreds of tourists invited to the week-long tour.
Some 25 organizations have invited internationals to visit Paleostine from April 15-21 and Mayor Victor Batarseh urged Israel to let them enter and not to humiliate them.
"We demand our international friends have access to Bethlehem," the mayor said. "It is our right to welcome visitors."
Paleostinian organizations have arranged a week-long program, starting Sunday, which includes helping to build a school in Bethlehem and day trips to Hebron, the Jordan Valley, Ramallah and Jerusalem.
How sad. Here they've gone to all the trouble and expense of arranging activities and excursions, and no one will come... again. A fetal country could go broke that way.
All visitors to the West Bank must first pass Israeli border control and many arriving in Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion airport do not tell Israeli security if they will be visiting Paleostinian areas as this leads to interrogation and often deportation. But the campaign has asked its guests to be open about their plans to visit the West Bank.

German ship stopped after owners discover it's carrying Iranian weapons to Syria regime
Germany's government said Saturday it is looking into a report that weapons bound for the Syrian regime were loaded onto a German-owned ship.
German weekly Der Spiegel reported that the Atlantic Cruiser was halted in the Mediterranean after its owners were warned it was suspected to be carrying Iranian military equipment to Tartus, Syria, where it was supposed to arrive Friday.
Der Spiegel quoted shipping agent Torsten Lueddeke of Hamburg-based CEG Bulk Chartering as saying: "We stopped the ship after we received information on the weapons cargo."
He said the ship had been chartered to an Odessa, Ukraine-based company called White Whale Shipping and "they declared to us as cargo above all pumps and things like that," according to the report. "We would never have allowed weapons on board."
The ship's current whereabouts weren't clear. Der Spiegel -- which reported that the suspect cargo was loaded in Djibouti -- said it had changed course for Iskenderun, Turkey, on Friday and then stopped about 50 miles (80 kilometers) southwest of Tartus and sailed in circles.
Perhaps it's not just weapons they're shipping from Iran...
The ship, which had been chartered by a Ukrainian shipping company, was delivering weapons to Syrian Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad Before going into the family business Pencilneck was an eye doctor... , who has been coping with 11-month-long mass protests against his rule According to the report, the German government's economic ministry has announce that it will investigate any and all smuggling attempts.
The ship was initially identified by Syrian defectors who alerted the German company of the illegal cargo aboard, the report stated.
This is not the first time a German vessel has been used to smuggle Iranian arms. In March 2011, the Israeli navy seized the Victoria fat merchantman as it was sailing off Israel's coast on its way to Egypt while flying a Liberian flag. The ship was carrying 50 tons of weaponry destined for Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason,, including advanced Iranian-made radar-guided anti-ship missiles.
The Iranian regime does not confine its weapons smuggling to German vessels. In November 2009, Israel also intercepted the Francop ship, which was sailing near Cyprus on its way to Syria. Flying an Antiguan flag, the vessel was found to be carrying around 500 tons of weaponry, including long-range Katyusha rockets.
In January, IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Benny Gantz said he was working to recruit countries from around the world to help combat what he called the "transatlantic smuggling" of weaponry from Iran to its terror proxies in the region..
