Salafist preacher and Internet activist indicted in Germany
Ibrahim Abou-Nagie, a salafi/jihadi preacher very active online, has been indicted in Cologne, Germany. Abou-Nagie, together with Abu Dujana of Bonn, operate as Die Wahre Religion (The True Religion).

They are cited in multiple cases including those of the now-deceased Bekkay Harrach, and more recently Robert M. (arrested with an associate attempting to enter Britain whilst in possession of jihadist materials including Inspire magazine), not to mention Arid Uka, the Frankfurt shooter.

Abou-Nagie is charged with legitimization of violence and calling for the destruction of other religions (""Empfehlungen", die Gewalt legitimierten - bis zur Vernichtung Andersgläubiger" in German).

Not surprisingly, the 423 Youtube friends of Die Wahre Religion are in turn linked in some way to, or have otherwise turned up in the course of investigations into, the following (not an all-inclusive list):

Converts must die: imam to Swedish radio
Swedish public service broadcaster Sveriges Radio (SR) has been reported for hate speech after featuring a programme in which a Somali imam called for all converts from Islam to be killed.

The programme in question was a panel discussion and was broadcast live by SR International's Somali service.

The police report was filed by Erik Johansson, at the Swedish Evangelical Mission (Evangeliska Fosterlands-Stiftelsen - EFS), after friends told him of the imam's words underlining every Mohammedan's responsibility to kill anyone who leaves Islam.

"I received a call from my Somali friends who had heard the programme. I don't speak the language myself and when they explained to me, I concluded that this wasn't a message which should be on an SR channel," Erik Johansson told The Local on Thursday.

Johansson also contacted Sveriges Radio in order to register his dismay that the item was left available on their website for more than two weeks. Soon after his telephone call the programme was removed from the website.

In a comment to the Christian website Dagen on Tuesday, SR International head Ingemar Löfgren said that he decided to pull the transcript from SR's website pending receipt of an official translation, pointing out that he is responsible for several channels broadcast in languages which he does not speak.

"If a holy man calls for other Mohammedans to kill converts, then we have a journalistic responsibility... If he didn't get any follow up questions then we have failed in our journalistic responsibility," he said.

According to Erik Johansson, the journalist reminded the imam that they were in Sweden, to which he replied that the same rules apply there.

#1  Fight a war with what, exactly? Europe ran out of bombs supporting rebels in Libya.

#2  Finally someone is looking at history to understand a possible future. He chose his words carefully "All these states [making economic reforms] must now demonstrate in a convincing way that they are serious. It is not enough to make plans. It is action that counts". I am impressed. Rostowski should be listened to. Governments and politics are prolonging the mess. Iceland has turned things around and Ireland is exporting more and importing less from China for example. It can be done. It must be done. We are tied to this mess and the world.

And being the good idiots we are, we'll replace the damned things just in time to have them used against us.

#4  Well said Dale. As far as a war in Europe, perhaps what we might see are smaller scale uprisings or general anarchy. Peasant revolts and the like. Historical redux.

#8  I just wonder which of the EU will have the great idea to invade Switzerland and loot its banks, since the Swiss are insisting on their national sovereignty in the face of the EU's 'universal dominion' in Europe. If the Swiss and a couple of the Eastern European states like Poland and Hungary go together, you could see a new Hapsburg situation arise.

#9  If you've been to Switzerland and seen the shambles around it you'd know how a war against them would go...

It would be like the Arabs v Israel. Numeric Advantage ruined by shit government.

Praying in Paris streets outlawed
Praying in the streets of Gay Paree is against the law starting Friday, after the interior minister warned that police will use force if Mohammedans, and those of any other faith, disobey the new rule to keep the French capital's public spaces secular.

Claude Guéant said that ban could later be extended to the rest of La Belle France, in particular to the Mediterranean cities of Nice and Marseilles, where "the problem persists". He promised the new legislation would be followed to the letter as it "hurts the sensitivities of many of our fellow citizens".

"My vigilance will be unflinching for the law to be applied. Praying in the street is not dignified for religious practice and violates the principles of secularism, the minister told Le Figaro newspaper. "All Mohammedan leaders are in agreement," he insisted.
In other words, they did not immediately and openly disagree with him when he told them what they were to think.
In December when Marine Le Pen, then leader-in-waiting of the far-Right National Front, sparked outrage by likening the practice to the Nazi occupation of Gay Paree in the Second World War "without the tanks or soldiers". She said it was a "political act of fundamentalists".
Indeed.
More than half of right-wing sympathisers in La Belle France agreed with Marine Le Pen, at least one poll suggested. 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...
's party denounced the comments, but the President called for a debate on Islam and secularism and went on to say that multiculturalism had failed in La Belle France.

Following the debate, Mr Guéant promised a countrywide ban "within months", saying the "street is for driving in, not praying".

In April, a ban on wearing the full Islamic veil came into force. Holland today became the third European country to ban the burka, after Belgium, despite the fact fewer than 100 Dutch women are thought to wear the face-covering Islamic dress.

Yesterday, Mr Guéant said the prayer problem was limited to two roads in the Goutte d'Or district of Gay Paree's eastern 19th arrondissement, where "more than a thousand" people blocked the street every Friday. However,
you can observe a lot just by watching...
a stroll through several districts in Gay Paree on a Friday suggests that Mohammedans spill into the streets outside many mosques.

Under an agreement signed this week, believers will be able to use the premises of a vast nearby fire station while awaiting the construction of a bigger mosque.

"We could go as far as using force if necessary (to impose the ban), but it's a scenario I don't believe will happen, as dialogue (with local religious leaders) has born fruit," he said. Sheikh Mohamed salah Hamza, in charge of one of the Gay Pareeian mosques which regularly overflows, said he would obey the new law, but complained: "We are not cattle" and that he was "not entirely satisfied" with the new location. He said he feared many believers would continue to prefer going to the smaller mosque.
"My congregants prefer to stick their bottoms in Frenchie faces on their streets," he added. "Such an amusing little soft jihad."
Public funding of places of religious worship is banned under a 1905 law separating church and state. Mr Guéant said that there were 2,000 mosques in La Belle France with half being built in the past ten years. La Belle France has Europe's largest Mohammedan population, with an estimated five million in total.
