'We will take over': Australian leader of extremist Islamic group says US riots are 'opportunity' for Muslims to seize global leadership, impose Sharia law
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Australian Muslim preacher Ismail al-Wahwah predicts Islam will replace US
    ...also known as Abu Anas, the Hebron-born Palestinian taxi driver applied for asylum in Australia in 1997. He was previously deported from Indonesia, then briefly ran off to Syria to play at caliphate in 2013 ...
  • His Hizb ut-Tahrir group is a global Islamist movement pushing for a caliphate
    ... the Islamic Liberation Party is active in about fifty countries and banned in thirteen of them last I heard, claiming about a million followers plus the enthusiastic graduates who moved on to real jihadi groups like Al Qaeda and ISIS. The national emirs report to Number 1, Sheikh Ata Abu Rashta, a Palestinian Jordanian Islamic scholar ...
  • It wants to replace world governments with Islamic system based on Sharia law

  • Mr al-Wahwah said American riots were an 'opportunity' for Muslims to exploit

#1  Well boy howdy if now wouldn't be the time to try that. The country is even more armed than it was before, if such a thing is even possible. Everybody is mad at somebody already and some wandering jackass named after a regional convenience chain is going to show up and announce the imposition of sharia. Hey, maybe he could join forces with the vegans!

#4  Father Wah-Wah DID say 'American riots were an opportunity', so I figured he had made the geographic jump. As for the average Australian, I would be hesitant to make any assumptions about the overall state of civilian armament.

German intel: Syrian teacher says 'all Jews belong in gas chamber'
[Jpost] Shocking secret file exposes Israel-related antisemitism among German Moslem associations.

A previously classified German intelligence report on Wednesday revealed widespread Islamic-animated antisemitism among Moslem organizations in the federal republic, including defective statistics about the origin of crimes due to Jew-hatred.

The German paper Suddeutsche Zeitung (SZ) first reported on the document that is "a special file of the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution." The federal office (BfV) is the rough equivalent to the Shin Bet and it noted in the file that a Syrian teacher declared on June 4, 2018 in the city of Solingen in the middle of his lesson that "all Jews belong in the gas chamber."

The report said that on June 2, 2018, the recoding clerk for a branch of the German-Ottoman Turkish radical Islamic association Furkan told his guests that with respect to the children of Israel, the Jews, "Don't be like beings that are worth less than animals." He added that the Jews were the cursed and that they betrayed Moses.

Lethal antisemitism targeting Israel was also present in the report. An Imam who preached at a Ottoman Turkish state-allied Millî-Görus mosque in an unidentified German city on December 8, 2017 declared, "Free Paleostine in no time," adding the need to "Deliver the whole community of Muhammad from the evil sons of Israel."

According to the intelligence agency, there are already 700 cases listed in this "case collection of antisemitic events with a suspected Islamist background," wrote SZ.

The paper noted that the former interior minister Thomas de Maizière started to chronicle Jew-hatred among Moslems in 2015, including the arrival of Moslem refugees and migrants colonists.

The SZ, which titled its article "Hatred of Jews in the Friday Sermon," reported that "Domestic intelligence eavesdroppers were present on both occasions" at the radical Islamic Ottoman Turkish meetings.

The intelligence report noted a case of another Syrian person who said in a German city on April 26, 2018 that Israelis murder babies in Paleostine and Jews deserve to be beaten. Neither the city nor the Syrian were identified.

The names of the antisemites were not disclosed in the SZ report.

Thomas Haldenwang, president of Germany's domestic intelligence agency BfV, told the SZ that antisemitism is part of the basic equipment of Islamist ideologies. Hostility to Jews is "represented by practically all noteworthy Islamist organizations that are active in Germany," whether it be Hamas, the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®,, the Moslem Brüderbund, Millî-Görus, Hezbollah or the 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....
The SZ reported that approximately 20 antisemitic acts of violence by Moslem perpetrators were documented in this case collection. The paper added that there were roughly 80 antisemitic statements in the private sphere, and around 350 statements on social media.

According to the paper, "The police do not count crimes committed by Moslem antisemites in a reliable manner at all."

A distorted statistical picture emerges, noted the SZ, because when there are doubts, everything is lumped into the "right-wing murderous Moslem" category by the Federal Criminal Police Office, which compiles the annual crime statistics.

The SZ wrote that "All official statistics, according to which 70, 80 or 90 percent of all antisemitic attacks in Germany are carried out by right-wing radicals, should therefore be read with great skepticism."

Last week, Charlotte Knobloch, the president of the Munich Jewish community told The Jerusalem Post that three German MPs should resign from the German-Paleostinian Society becasue the organization supports the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions campaign against Israel. The German Bundestag classified BDS as antisemitic last year. The three MPs are the Social Democrat Aydan Özogus, the Green party's Omid Nouripour, and the Left party's Christine Buchholz. BDS , according to its critics, seeks the abolition of the Jewish state.

#2  Greek Mirage 2000 defense vs Turkish F-16 intrusion




Greek pilot says : "I HAVE HIM" he also said : "I got this thing on the record", other guy : "cool".

Looking at the footage he had him with missiles (good tone), and then a couple times with guns (thats a deadly computed gun target line) had this been a full combat engagement instaed of a peace time intercept. The Turkish Pilot wisely leveled off and bugged out.

Turkish pilot had his head up his ass, or was simply no good.

Erdogan says Turkey to increase support for Libya's Serraj
[AlAhram] President Tayyip Erdogan said on Thursday The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the occupiers of Greek Asia Minor...
will increase its support for Libya's leader Fayez al Serraj and that the conflict there can only be resolved politically under the auspices of the United Nations
...an organization which on balance has done more bad than good, with the good not done well and the bad done thoroughly...
"Turkey would advance its cooperation with Libya including searching for hydrocarbons in the eastern Mediterranean, as part of a bilateral maritime deal reached between the two governments".

Erdogan also welcomed the recent advances made by the Tripoli
...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn...
government on the battlefield saying it was right to use "self-defence", adding that Haftar cannot remain at the negotiating table.

Erdogan said eastern commander Khalifa Haftar
...Self-proclaimed Field Marshal, served in the Libyan army under Muammar Qadaffy, and took part in the coup that brought Qadaffy to power in 1969. He became a prisoner of war in Chad in 1987. While held prisoner, he and his fellow officers formed a group hoping to overthrow Qadaffy, so it's kind of hard to describe him as a Qadaffy holdover. He was released around 1990 in a deal with the United States government and spent nearly two decades in the United States, gaining US citizenship. In 1993, while living in the United States, he was convicted in absentia of crimes against the Jamahiriya and sentenced to death. Haftar held a senior position in the anti-Qadaffy forces in the 2011 Libyan Civil War. In 2014 he was commander of the Libyan Army when the General National Congress (GNC) refused to give up power in accordance with its term of office. Haftar launched a campaign against the GNC and its Islamic fundamentalist allies. His campaign allowed elections to take place to replace the GNC, but then developed into a civil war. Guess you can't win them all. Actually, he is, but slowly...
and his supporters are the biggest obstacle to peace.

"An individual who constantly threatens the future of Libya cannot have a representation capability at the table," the Ottoman Turkish leader said.

He also criticised outside countries backing Haftar, saying they were "the biggest obstacle before peace" in Libya. "History will judge them."

Turkish parliament strips status of three opposition MPs
[AlAhram] The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...just another cheapjack Moslem dictatorship, brought to you by the Moslem Brüderbund...
's parliament stripped two pro-Kurdish politicians and one MP from the main opposition party of their parliamentary status on Thursday after convictions against them became final, drawing sharp criticism from their parties.

Those stripped of their status were Leyla Guven and Musa Farisogullari from the pro-Kurdish Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) and the Republican People's Party's (CHP) Enis Berberoglu.

The decisions were announced in parliament after appeals courts upheld Berberoglu's conviction for disclosing government secrets and the convictions of Guven and Farisogullari for being members of a terrorist organization.

"This disregards the national will. We will continue the democratic fight to obtain justice, rights and law," CHP leader Kemal Kilicdaroglu wrote on Twitter.

"This is the trampling and theft of the will of the voters and the Kurdish people," HDP deputy Saruhan Oluc said in a speech in parliament.

The government has repeatedly accused the HDP of ties to the holy warrior Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), which has fought against the state in the largely Kurdish southeast since 1984 and is designated a terrorist group by Turkey, the United States and European Union
...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing...
. The HDP denies such links.

The prosecutor's office in eastern province of Diyarbakir ordered arrest of Guven and Farisogullari following the decision for the politicians. The HDP said Farisogullari has already been taken into custody by the authorities.

President Tayyip Erdogan's AK Party has 291 deputies in the 600-seat assembly, while the CHP now has 138 seats and the HDP has 58 seats, keeping it as the second biggest opposition party.

The AKP is planning to push measures through parliament with its nationalist MHP allies that affect how political groups may contest elections and could hamper new opposition parties taking part in any snap elections.

Those plans would not be affected by Thursday's removal of the three politicians' parliamentary status.

When Stuck on Stupid, Double Down
[AlphaNewsMN] "We are going to dismantle the Minneapolis Police Department," says Lisa Bender, the president of the Minneapolis City Council.

A man named George Floyd died in Minneapolis Police custody on May 25, triggering a wave of national protest and civil unrest. Prompted by Floyd’s untimely passing, a member of the Council said that the legislative body was "working on finding out" if disbanding the police was a possibility, days ago. It now appears that what began as an inquiry has become a reality per Bender and another council member, Jeremiah Ellison, via Twitter, Thursday.
What about the union contract? Surely the police would object to suddenly having to learn to code...
