Thin veneer of civilization and all that. This is why leftists hate guns. Admitting that many, if not most, people are barely human, if at all totally punctures their balloon...

With her gun, she shot at a gas cylinder at the venue of the East FM-organised cooking competition for children resulting in a small fire. She also shot at several microwaves.
Her real hate is reserved for defenseless kitchen appliances.

Frank G. you are absolutely correct. When the chain leads back to "moderate muslims" who own 7-11s in the Midwest, and to the politicians they donate money to, the screeching would become deafening...

This is the US Gov't agency that tracks where money goes. Believe me when I tell you they know the end-user.

So, Besoeker, if they know where the money goes and the path it takes to get there, then one must conclude that they are more concerned about what happens if they interrupt the path than allowing it to operate. What COULD that concern be?

Tom Kratmann has written an excellent fiction book called "Caliphate" that is a guide to what to do to put a stop to this. In some ways, it's a hard read, but like Leon Uris' book "The Haj" it's a well-defined learning experience. Both men know Islam for what it is.

Nothing personal.
Heck, one of the animals involved was insecure enough to remind that little kid that he wasn't a monster, despite what it might look like to the uneducated eye.
[Washington Post] British news outlets are seemingly in a frenzy over a woman known as the "white widow."
Interpol on Thursday issued an international arrest notice for Samantha Lewthwaite, 29, a Brit who was married to one of the jacket wallahs in the July 7, 2005, attack on London's transit system. The news fueled speculation here about Lewthwaite's possible connection to the four-day assault at an upscale mall in Nairobi, which left scores of people dead.
There is no evidence linking Lewthwaite to the attack, which ended this week. The Interpol warrant said she is "wanted by Kenya on charges of being in possession of explosives and conspiracy to commit a felony dating back to December 2011." But since Kenya's foreign minister, Amina Mohamed, suggested Monday that a British woman who had "done this many times before" was involved in the mall assault, the news media here have been discussing the possibility of Lewthwaite's involvement.
The Mirror Online described her as "the world's most wanted woman." The Guardian noted the "intense speculation" about her possible role in the Kenya attack. "Interpol Joins Hunt for 'White Widow,' " Sky News said.
Interpol said that its red notice was issued at the request of Kenya and that the British runaway is thought to use the alias "Natalie Webb," the name that Kenyan authorities found on a forged South African passport carrying a picture that they said bears a striking resemblance to Lewthwaite.
The daughter of a British soldier, Lewthwaite grew up in Aylesbury, a small town northwest of London. She reportedly turned to Islam in her teens after the breakup of her parents' marriage and later met a man named Germaine Lindsay in an Internet chat room. They married in 2002.
She first came to the public eye after the 2005 attack for being Lindsay's wife. Soon the tabloids of old Fleet Street had dubbed her the "white widow."
Lewthwaite publicly condemned the actions of her husband, whose homemade bomb killed 26 civilians on a crowded train near King's Cross station in central London.
"He met a group who changed his life. He became a man I didn't recognize," Lewthwaite said at the time. She was pregnant when Lindsay died.
She hit the headlines again when her name was linked to a raid in December 2011 on a house in Mombasa, Kenya, used by a terrorist cell.

That was the report I had received, though to be fair it came in the early hours of the aftermath.
[Al Ahram] Gunmen stormed a Kenyan police compound in a town on the border with Somalia and sprayed bullets into officers' homes Thursday, killing two before setting more than 10 vehicles on fire, police said.
The attack was claimed by Al-Shabaab ... Somalia's version of the Taliban, functioning as an arm of al-Qaeda... , five days after operatives from the Somali group stormed a mall in Nairobi and held a four-day siege that left at least 67 dead in the worst attack on Kenya in 15 years.
"They were very brutal, they were out to kill because they were shooting directly into the houses," a police officer based in the region said of the attack in the town of Mandera. "Two coppers were killed" and at least three maimed.
"We are pursuing them, there is a security operation that is going on after that attack that has left a lot of destruction," the area's police chief Charlton Mureithi said.
He said the attackers struck in the middle of the night when the coppers were asleep.
In a separate incident on Tuesday night, attackers also killed one person and maimed four when they hurled a grenade at a market in the town of Wajir, further south, a local police officer said.
"Mujahideen forces last night raided a Kenyan police base in Mandera town..., killing 2 and injuring 3 others," Al-Shabaab said on Twitter.
"The Mujahideen burnt down police vehicles before leaving and made away with weapons and ammunition as Ghaneema (Arabic for loot or booty)," the message said.
Such attacks against the police and other targets are frequent along Kenya's mostly non-existent border with Somalia, a region rife with banditry where unrest is routinely blamed on -- and claimed by -- Al-Shabaab.
Kenya's Interior Minister Joseph Ole Lenku said Wednesday that security at Kenya's borders had been heightened after the mall bloodbath.

[Al Ahram] At least 29 people have been killed in three days of rioting in Sudan sparked by a government decision to scrap subsidies on fuel, medical officials said on Thursday.
"We have received the bodies of 21 people" since the protests began on Monday, a hospital source in Khartoum's twin city Omdurman told AFP, adding that all were "civilians".
Another eight people were killed in other regions, witnesses and families said.Sudan dropped almost completely off the Internet on Wednesday as riots over the lifting of fuel subsidies entered their third day and protesters battled security forces in the capital.

[Daily Nation (Kenya)] A British national has been tossed in the slammer You have the right to remain silent... in Nairobi over the bloody attack on Westgate shopping mall by armed Islamists, a spokeswoman for the Foreign Office said on Wednesday.
"We can confirm the detention of a Brit in Nairobi and we are making contact to offer standard consular assistance," she told AFP, without saying if the suspect was a man or a woman.
British newspapers have speculated that Samantha Lewthwaite, the widow of one of the men who bombed the London transport system in 2005, was among the attackers who besieged the Westgate mall in the Kenyan capital.
Kenyan Foreign Minister Amina Mohamed told US television on Monday that a British woman was among the attackers, although this contradicted earlier statements from Kenyan officials who said they were all male.
Lewthwaite, a 29-year-old Mohammedan convert known as the "White Widow", has been on the run in East Africa for the last couple of years and is wanted by Kenyan police for alleged involvement in a separate terror plot.
President Uhuru Kenyatta announced an end to the 80-hour bloodbath in Nairobi late Tuesday, with the loss of 61 civilians and six members of the security forces. He said five attackers were killed and 11 suspects tossed in the calaboose Maw! They're comin' to get me, Maw!.

[Daily Nation (Kenya)] Some 61 people said to have been among those at the Westgate shopping mall when faceless myrmidons struck five days ago, are still unaccounted for.
According to the latest Kenya Red Thingy data, six of those reported missing have been found and re-united with their families.
Nine bodies have also been positively identified by relatives.
"The search for the missing people is still on... A number of people have come forward to look for their kin," a Red Thingy official who only identified himself as Mr Anwar told the Nation Thursday.
Red Thingy is carrying out the tracing services to locate and re-unite missing persons with their families at Uhuru Park.
According to the brief, the organization says their main challenge is how to tackle the increased public anxiety on account of missing persons that has been brought about by inadequate information.
The faceless myrmidons descended on the shopping mall last Saturday, killing a total of 67 people and injuring at least 240 others drawn from various nationalities, by the end of the four-day siege.
The mall was among the favourite outing joints for expatriates in the city.
Six security officers and five faceless myrmidons also died in the attack. Eleven people suspected to have been involved with the well-planned and executed assault are in jug.
The government has embarked on its next phase, which according to Interior Cabinet Secretary Joseph ole Lenku, will involve forensic processes of identifying the dead through their fingerprints and DNA.
Ballistics tests will also be undertaken to determine the nature of weapons and ammunition used in the siege.
Mr Lenku on Wednesday said teams from the US, Israel, Britannia, Germany, Canada and Interpol had joined police for investigations.

An IED on a hunting trail in a remote village? Sounds a little odd even by Algerian standards.
[Al Ahram] Two roadside kabooms went kaboom! one after the other on a busy road in the Yemeni capital on Thursday wounding 20 people, the interior ministry said.
The twin blasts were on Al-Rabat Street where the bombs had been hidden among piles of garbage.
No casualties were reported in the first kaboom, a ministry front man said, quoted by Saba state news agency. But as pedestrians gathered in the area a second device went kaboom!, wounding 20 people, the official said.
Another official told AFP earlier that 12 people were maimed in the blast, four of them seriously.
Cars were damaged in the blast, and windows were also shattered, he said. Security forces then cordoned off and searched the area.
Also on Wednesday, a jacket wallah killed an army intelligence officer in Ataq, the capital of Shabwa province in the south.

At least 17 people have been killed in a bus bombing near the north-western Pakistani city of Peshawar, officials say.
The vehicle was carrying government employees back home in the Gulbela area, some 15km north-east of the city. Police say that the bomb was planted specifically to kill government employees.
Initial reports say the bomb was planted in the back of the bus. The head of Peshawar's bomb disposal unit said that between 10kg and 15kg (22lb to 33lb) of explosives were used in the device.
At least 20 people were killed and nearly 40 were injured when another bus carrying government workers was bombed in the same area in June 2012.
[Dawn] Militants stormed a cop shoppe and an Indian army base in Kashmire on Thursday, killing at least nine in an attack the state's chief minister said was aimed at derailing peace talks between India and Pakistain.
"This attack in Jammu is aimed at derailing the dialogue process," said Omar Abdullah, chief minister of the Indian administered Kashmire.
The group of gunnies who attacked a cop shoppe and army camp in India administered Kashmire on Thursday had crossed the border from Pakistain the previous day, the state's chief minister said.
Omar Abdullah told news hounds that the raid appeared designed to upset plans for a meeting in New York this week between Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Pak Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif ... served two non-consecutive terms as prime minister, heads the Pakistain Moslem League (Nawaz). Noted for his spectacular corruption, the 1998 Pak nuclear test, border war with India, and for being tossed by General Musharraf... "Given the history, timing and location, the aim is to derail the proposed meeting between Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and his Pak counterpart," Abdullah said. "There are forces that are inimical to peace and want to derail any grinding of the peace processor."
The myrmidons, all wearing army fatigues, lobbed grenades and shot up the Hiranagar cop shoppe near the border with Pakistain, police said.
Around the same time attackers struck at an army base in the nearby Samba district in the southern-most part of the the Indian-administered state where a fierce gunbattle with soldiers took place and Indian tanks were deployed.
The attacks are set to overshadow a meeting by Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and his Pak counterpart Nawaz Sharif on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly this weekend, the first top-level dialogue in three years.
Manmohan Singh condemned "the heinous terrorist attack" in a statement but said that that it "will not deter us and will not succeed in derailing our efforts to find a resolution to all problems through a process of dialogue".

[Al Ahram] Jihadist fighters linked to Al-Qaeda set fire to statues and crosses inside churches in northern Syria on Thursday and destroyed a cross atop the clock tower of one of them, a human rights When they're defined by the state or an NGO they don't mean much... watchdog said.
Fighters from the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) entered the Greek Catholic Church of Our Lady of the Annunciation in the northern city of Raqa and torched the religious furnishings inside, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
They did the same at the Armenian Catholic Church of the Martyrs, also destroying a cross atop its clock tower and replacing it with the ISIL flag, the Observatory said.
Most of Raqa, located on the banks of the Euphrates River and capital of the province of the same name, fell to rebels in March. Where it dominates in the city, ISIL imposes a strict version of sharia (Islamic law) on the populace.
The London-based Observatory denounced these attacks as "against the freedom of religion, which is an assault on the Syrian revolution."
