[MEMRI.ORG] Interviewer: "Today, we heard of a Kuwaiti citizen who converted to Judaism, and people say that he should be stripped of his [Kuwaiti] citizenship. This conversion, alongside his statements, are not important... Do you think that revoking his citizenship is justified in this case?"
Ali Al-Baghli: "No. We are a country governed by laws. It is not a crime and there should be no punishment unless it is written in the constitution. Article 50 of the constitution specifies that... Does our country's citizenship law – which has been turned into a game – state that a person should be stripped of his citizenship if he changes his religion? No, it does not. If it was a Jew who converted to Islam, we would be applauding him. Enough with that. It is a matter of personal liberty. If he is wrong, Allah will punish him. Why should we, as humans, interfere? After all, this religion existed even before our religion. It existed in the days of the Prophet Muhammad and the Rightly Guided Caliphs."

[NYPOST] Whether it’s Israelis supposedly wantonly murdering Paleostinian children or medieval Jews drinking the blood of Christian children ‐ the effect of these libels is the same: poisoning public opinion against the Jewish people and stoking the oldest hatred. And while Rashida Tlaib may believe she is speaking truth to power when she makes false claims about Israel and Jews, responsible people in her party must hold her accountable for spreading misinformation and propping up illegitimate claims without scrutiny.

[DAWN] A Pak man arrested earlier this month in Islamabad over the 2005 killing of a British woman police officer does not want to be extradited to Britannia and is asking that he be tried in his home country, his lawyer said on Wednesday.
The 71-year-old suspect, Piran Ditta Khan, appeared before a court in the capital for a second hearing over Britannia's extradition request. His arrest was the result of close cooperation between Pak authorities and British detectives, police said.
His lawyer, Raja Ghaneem Aabar, said the court is expected to review investigations by Pak officials into the case before considering a final decision on Britannia's extradition request. The next hearing is due within 10 days, he added.
Khan refused to answer questions by news hounds as to whether he was involved in the death of police officer Sharon Beshenivsky, a 38-year-old mother of three rubbed out outside a travel agency in Bradford while responding to an armed robbery call.
After the killing, six men were arrested in Britannia but Khan, who was suspected of being the armed gang's organiser, had fled abroad. In 2016, police in Britannia issued a fresh appeal for Khan who remained on the lam despite a reward of 20,000 British pounds (about $26,000) for information leading to his arrest.
Aabar, the lawyer, said Khan has maintained his innocence during the investigation in Pakistain. He would fight to prove his client's innocence, Aabar added, saying Khan was falsely implicated in the case.
"Pak Sherlocks are yet to complete their report into the 2005 crime that was committed in Britannia," he said. "My client is suspected of links to that offence and he wants to be tried in Pakistain as he is a Pak citizen."
"His trial should be held in Pakistain," Aabar added. "My client can respond to any questions from British police via video link."

As long as he cut her head off per the koran (or is it the hadith?), he'll get off.
[DAWN] A man convicted of child sexual offences in the United Kingdom in the early 2000s has been extradited from Pakistain, following a successful operation led by authorities here and in Islamabad.
The Greater Manchester Police (GMP) department in a blurb said 42-year-old Choudhry Ikhalaq Hussain was flown to the UK on Tuesday after he was extradited by authorities.
He was arrested in Sangla, Faisalabad ...formerly known as Lyallpur, the third largest metropolis in Pakistain, the second largest in Punjab after Lahore. It is named after some Arab because the Paks didn't have anybody notable of their own to name it after... , in January 2019, nearly four years after he fled the UK halfway during his trial. He has been returned to the UK to serve a 19-year term for being found guilty in April 2016 of three counts of sexual activity with a child, two counts of rape and one count of conspiracy to rape.
He is one of 10 men sentenced in 2016 for committing sexual offences against a teenage girl in Rochdale. He was part of a group of men of Pak, Bangladeshi and Afghan origin who were sentenced for sexually abusing dozens of girls following an investigation centred on the town of Rochdale near Manchester. The court heard that the men groomed the girls with gifts and plied them with alcohol and drugs before forcing them to have sex with others.
The trial in the UK was launched under the umbrella of ’Operation Doublet’ ‐ a large-scale police investigation formed in 2012 to investigate reports of historic child sexual exploitation between 2003 and 2013, predominantly in the Rochdale area of Greater Man.
Hussain escaped during the trial after he was given permission to leave by the judge in 2015, when he claimed that he wanted to attend a relative’s funeral in the UK. Instead he fled to Pakistain and remained on the lam till last year, when he was apprehended during a joint operation of local and UK authorities.
After his extradition, Detective Superintendent Jamie Daniels, a senior investigating officer for ’Operation Doublet’, said: "Hussain is a sexual predator who mistakenly thought he could flee to another country to live the good life, while his victim was forced to deal with the consequences of his vile actions and robbed of justice. His apprehension demonstrates that when it comes to pursuing perpetrators of child sexual exploitation, we will hunt them across the globe if necessary."

[IsraelTimes] A bigwig in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s entourage says the Israeli leader is planning for his criminal trial to drag out for six or seven years, during which time he will seek to continue on as prime minister.
"He’ll run for election, win, and will have no problem with the trial. Netanyahu won’t have to divide his time between the Prime Minister’s Office and the courtroom. He’ll only show up when he needs to testify. This will happen after they grill hundreds of other witnesses."
While a sitting prime minister who is indicted does not have to step down, Israel’s judicial system has yet to rule on whether a party leader who is under indictment can be tasked with forming a government.
[IsraelTimes] Also appearing on Fox & Friends is Jared Kushner, credited as the plan’s architect, who says the Paleostinian rejection of the plan shows they can’t have a state.
"They are proving through their reaction that they are not ready to have a state," he says.
He calls the Paleostinians "professional at not finishing deals."
"The ball is in their court if they want to approach it, if not we are busy," with other things, he says.
Trump got them the best offer they ever had," he adds.
He says skeptics should give the plan a chance.
"You’re not going to change minds overnight. It puts out a framework."
He also claims the plan will reduce terror by proving to the world that Israel does not have any designs on the Temple Mount, which he says has fueled jihadism.
"It very strongly gets Israel to affirm they will respect Jordan’s hold on the mosque. If the mosque is safe and Moslems can come pray" this should reduce terror and tensions, he says.
In actuality, the plan makes reference to all religions being able to pray on the Temple Mount/Haram al-Sharif, a potentially explosive change to the status quo there that could inflame the region.

[Jpost] - Iran and Hezbollah will not risk a major war with Israel, ex-CIA director and general David Petraeus said on Wednesday.
Speaking from the INSS annual international conference in Tel Aviv, Petraeus explained that a combination of US and Israeli military power had established deterrence with both Iran and Hezbollah from major risky actions, even as they might risk smaller confrontations.
When did you became a licensed psychiatrist, general?

[MEMRI.ORG] On January 22, 2020, Iraq's supreme Judicial Council published a report detailing the confessions of Shifa al-Nima, a senior Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems.... (ISIS) holy man whose arrest was announced by security forces on January 16, 2020, in which he admitted to issuing multiple fatwas, including those permitting the expulsion of Christians from the city of djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... as well as the sale and enslavement of Yazidi women.
According to the report, al-Ni'ma stated that he graduated from al-Madina al-Monawarh University in Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... in 1984, and went worked as a teacher in al-Rashideen school in Ajman, UAE, for three months before returning to Iraq. He also admitted to taking part in fighting the Iraqi army and establishing armed factions such as al-Mujahideen Army, The Army of Muhammad, and the Islamic Army. The report also says that A-Ni'ma issued multiple fatwas, including those permitting liquidation and bombing operations against Iraqi security forces in Mosul in 2006 and 2007.
Al-Ni'ma also admitted to receiving funds for the mujahideen from a Mosul native residing in London named Abu Mustapha al-Najmawi, and from a Saudi national named Abdallah al-Ghonaiman. The report quotes Ni'ma saying: "In 2007, I travelled to Makkah to perform umrah [a lesser pilgrimage to Makkah undertaken at any time of year] and I met with the terrorist Abu Mustapha al-Najmawi and he is a Mosul native who resided in London... we discussed religious topics and I explained to him the situation in Mosul and the details about the Iraqi forces and their affiliation with the Americans. We talked about the role of jihadi factions and he gave me $6,000 and asked that I spend it on gangs. When I returned to Mosul, I met with members of gangs and I distributed the money between them. In the same year, I went back again to Saudi Arabia to perform hajj and met with al-Najmawi again and he introduced me to the so-called sheikh Abdallah al-Ghonaiman who was a Saudi national who knew about me and my ideology and he gave me $4,000."
