4 arrests in Belgium over suspected Somali jihadist Network
(Sh.M.Network)--Belgian authorities claimed to have dismantled a jihadist network sending young men to fight in Somalia, according to local media Saturday.

is an Algerian national who had reportedly obtained political asylum in May.

The suspects are due to appear in court on Monday.

Belgian authorities had identified four other myrmidons, but lost track of them. They are believed to have travelled to Somalia in 2011 to fight for al-Shabaab

Peaceful Protests against Islam Film in Germany
So it can be done.
[An Nahar]Around 1,500 people staged a peaceful protest in the western German city of Dortmund Saturday against a film mocking the Prophet Mohammed that has enraged Mohammedans around the world, police said.

A police front man said the demonstrators, including many families with children, marched through the city center and ended the protest with a rally.

"It was absolutely trouble-free and without problems," he said.

On Friday around 1,000 people held peaceful demonstrations in the western cities of Freiburg and Muenster. Further protests were expected over the weekend in Karlsruhe in the southwest and Hanover in the north.

Demonstrators on Friday carried signs reading "Yes to freedom of expression, no to insults" and "I am protesting against the lack of respect toward my beloved Prophet Mohammed".

's front man Steffen Seibert on Friday called for the protests to remain peaceful, saying violence was never justified in religious disputes, whether in Germany or abroad.

"That should be our watchword, everywhere," he told a regular government news conference.

Daily demonstrations against the U.S.-made film and French cartoons mocking Islam have rocked the Mohammedan world, with violent protests in Pakistain Friday leaving at least 21 people dead.

A far-right group has threatened to screen the video in Germany, prompting a heated debate over whether authorities can ban the film from being shown on security grounds without violating constitutionally protected freedom of expression.

#1  Saw, the islam video, it's almost like the protesters proving the video right and the protesters are going ape sh*t because the video has some embarrassing truth to it. I'd want to read which parts insulted them most because it wasn't that shocking.

French Police Nip Banned Islam Demos in the Bud
[An Nahar] French police enforcing a ban on on protests over an anti-Islam film and cartoons mocking the Prophet Mohammed made 21 arrests in Gay Paree on Saturday and thwarted plans for a march in a northern city.

near the Place de la Concorde, where a week ago an unauthorised demo against the film led to 150 arrests.

Riot police were deployed in several areas of Gay Paree Saturday to enforce the ban on protests over the U.S.-produced film "Innocence of Moslems" and the cartoons published in a French satirical magazine.

Squads were positioned near the city's Grand Mosque, on the Trocadero square that overlooks the Eiffel Tower, and on the Place de la Concorde.

Agence La Belle France Presse news hounds in the northern city of Lille saw police stopping a group of about a dozen women trying to unveil a banner and detaining a man who appeared to be giving orders to the women.

The would-be protestors said they wanted to demonstrate against "provocations against Islam".

In Marseille in the south, a police helicopter and 60 riot police deployed to prevent any protests, but only a single demonstrator turned out. Around 30 journalists were also on hand to witness the man's attempt to defy the ban.

Social networks have been awash this week with appeals for Moslems in La Belle France, home to western Europe's largest Islamic community, to hold fresh protests.

La Belle France's Moslem leaders on Friday urged gunnies to respect the law.

Interior Minister Manuel Valls has said he will not sanction any protests this weekend on the grounds they will inevitably represent a threat to public order.

Also Saturday a 24-year-old rail worker was sentenced to three months in jail for carrying a weapon and taking part in an armed gathering during last Saturday's protest in Gay Paree.

in the western city of La Rochelle for calling on the radical website for the head of Stephane Charbonnier, boss of satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo, which on Wednesday published the cartoons of a naked Prophet.

#4  Notice that with a Socialist government in place, this can happen and little is said in the way of disapproval.

#5  Of course, because the Left is Pure in Heart.
