UN Human Rights Chief takes Front row seat to hear Ahmadinejad in Tehran

By Anne Bayefsky

UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Louise Arbour, traveled to Iran this week to take a front row seat and listen attentively to Holocaust-denier Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. The occasion was billed as a human rights meeting of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM), currently chaired by Cuba.While Arbour was hobnobbing with anti-semites, butchers and anti-democratic forces from around the world, Iranians were being prepared for public hangings. Arbour was reported by the Islamic Republic News Agency as having "expressed pleasure with being at the NAM meeting and described Iran's representation office in the UN in Geneva as "very good." In an unusual move, the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights has so far neglected to put her official statement on their website.

"All praise is due to Allah, who built the heavens and earth in justice, and created man as a favor and grace from Him. And from His ways is that the days rotate between the people, and from His Law is retaliation in kind: an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth and the killer is killed. And all praise is due to Allah, who awakened His slaves' desire for the Garden, and all of them will enter it except those who refuse. And whoever obeys Him alone in all of his affairs will enter the Garden, and whoever disobeys Him will have refused."

"As for what comes after: Peace be upon he who follows the Guidance. People of America: I shall be speaking to you on important topics which concern you, so lend me your ears. I begin by discussing the war which is between us and some of its repercussions for us and you."

Exclusive: The Story Behind the German Terror Plot

Richard Esposito Reports (ABC):

German anti-terrorist police maintained silence for 10 months as a team of about 1,000 officers built the case against a cell of alleged homegrown terrorists that ended with their arrests as they began mixing a "witches' brew" of homemade explosives, ABC News has learned.

According to ABC News sources, the surveillance of the three suspects that began in December 2006 included observations of them at Hanau and Frankfurt airports as well as at the U.S. Ramstein Air Base and the nightclubs and bars surrounding it.

Cal State Fresno's Middle East Studies Project Raises Red Flags

Campus Watch.org

California State University, Fresno (CSUF) is in the process of developing The Middle East Studies Project, a collection of interdisciplinary courses that, by 2009, it hopes to offer as a minor in Middle East studies.

But, already, some in the Fresno community are raising red flags about what direction CSUF's Middle East Studies Project will take. Considering the biased nature of Middle East studies departments across the country – and California is no exception – their concerns are not unwarranted.

Germany Mulls Terror Training As Crime

AP Google.com

By Melissa Eddy

BERLIN (AP) — German state security officials urged the government Friday to make training at a terror camp a crime, following a foiled bomb plot by alleged Islamic radicals believed to have undergone paramilitary training in Pakistan.

Authorities continued investigating people suspected of providing support to three suspected terrorists — arrested earlier this week — in their plans to carry out massive bombings on airports and other institutions in Germany.

The concentration was on seven suspects, both in and outside Germany, five of whom were known to police, federal prosecutors spokesman Andreas Christeleit said Thursday. He did not elaborate.

In a raid Tuesday on a vacation residence in the central German town of Oberschledorn, police said they arrested two German converts to Islam and a Turkish citizen in possession of military-style detonators and enough material to make bombs more powerful than those that killed 191 commuters in Madrid in 2004 and 52 in London in 2005.

While the case has highlighted the effectiveness of existing German security measures, it also has triggered calls for tougher security laws, including criminalizing training at a terror camp and allowing use of the Internet to spy on suspects' computers. CONTINUED

Kucinich visits Syria, shuns U.S. troops

Praises Assad, blasts Bush: 'I don't want to bless that occupation with my presence'


By WorldNet Daily

After praising Syria following a meeting in Damascus with President Bashar Assad, Democratic presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich declared he will not visit troops in Iraq during his Middle East tour because he considers the American military presence in Iraq to be illegal.

"I feel the United States is engaging in an illegal occupation .. I don't want to bless that occupation with my presence," Kucinich said in Lebanon, according to the Associated Press. "I will not do it."

The Ohio congressman accused the Bush administration of destabilizing the Middle East and praised Syria for receiving Iraqi refugees.

"What most people are not aware of is that Syria has taken in more than 1.5 million Iraqi refugees," Kucinich said, according to the AP. "The Syrian government has actually shown a lot of compassion in keeping its doors open and being a host for so many refugees."

Almost half of Britain's mosques controlled by hardline jihadist sect

From Jihad Watch

"You can’t run multiculturalism like that, because that’s a way of destroying yourself," says Khaled Ahmed, and he is right. The Deobandis just forbade photography. And they are the sect to which the Taliban belongs. They teach hatred of Jews and Christians and the Islamic supremacist notion that unbelievers must ultimately be subjugated under the rule of Islamic law. Tiny Minority of Extremists™ Update: "Hardline takeover of British mosques," by Andrew Norfolk in the TimesOnline (thanks to Twostellas):

Almost half of Britain’s mosques are under the control of a hardline Islamic sect whose leading preacher loathes Western values and has called on Muslims to “shed blood” for Allah, an investigation by The Times has found.

Riyadh ul Haq, who supports armed jihad and preaches contempt for Jews, Christians and Hindus, is in line to become the spiritual leader of the Deobandi sect in Britain. The ultra-conservative movement, which gave birth to the Taleban in Afghanistan, now runs more than 600 of Britain’s 1,350 mosques, according to a police report seen by The Times.

The Times investigation casts serious doubts on government statements that foreign preachers are to blame for spreading the creed of radical Islam in Britain’s mosques and its policy of enouraging the recruitment of more “home-grown” preachers.

Mr ul Haq, 36, was educated and trained at an Islamic seminary in Britain and is part of a new generation of British imams who share a similar radical agenda. He heaps scorn on any Muslims who say they are “proud to be British” and argues that friendship with a Jew or a Christian makes “a mockery of Allah’s religion”.

Seventeen of Britain’s 26 Islamic seminaries are run by Deobandis and they produce 80 per cent of home-trained Muslim clerics. Many had their studies funded by local education authority grants. The sect, which has significant representation on the Muslim Council of Britain, is at its strongest in the towns and cities of the Midlands and northern England.

Figures supplied to The Times by the Lancashire Council of Mosques reveal that 59 of the 75 mosques in five towns – Blackburn, Bolton, Preston, Oldham and Burnley – are Deobandi-run.

The banality of evil: Osama tanned, rested, ready, and sporting a boss dye job

The SITE Institute announced, and then pulled, notice that a new Osama video was in the offing -- so that video may or may not be forthcoming.
But Hot Air got a photo from it before it was pulled, featuring a very shahhhp Osama with beard trimmed and hair dyed so black that it makes him look as if he's ready to hit the gaming tables at Caesar's Palace.
What? Why not henna dye, in imitation of the Prophet? Why, it's -- it's bid'a! (That is, innovation, which is haram -- forbidden.)

The leading preacher of a hardline Islamic sect which controls almost half of British mosques delivers a message filled with anger at non-Muslims
Andrew Norfolk (Times Online, UK)

The voice, gentle but clear, has a mesmeric quality to it and as he recites verses of the Koran in Arabic they gain a hypnotic, captivating beauty.

Then Riyadh ul Haq translates the words into English and delivers his own interpretation of the holy text, and what sounded so lyrical becomes a stark manifesto of separationist loathing.
His target is the kuffar, the nonMuslim, whether Jewish, Christian, Hindu or atheist, and the message is simple: their designs are evil, their ways corrupting. Stay away from them. Continued
