Far-right anti-Muslim English Defence League mobs turned out in Woolwich last night clashing with riot police after last night's sickening Islamist terror attack.

Mosques in Woolwich, Braintree in Essex and Gillingham in Kent were also attacked with bricks while anti-Muslim extremists threw bottles at cops in ugly scenes.

Far-right groups latch onto anything to further their agenda of hate. Innocent, liberal Muslims will die in the process. This is a direct consequence of Muslim apologists' refusal to address the Muslim question. If only the politicians had the guts to set some basic standards as to what KIND of Muslim enters their country, we wouldn't be dealing with this horseshit.

Europe is going to shift dramatically to the right over the next couple decades. There may even be a case or two where the US has to invade a European country to put a stop to the bloodshed of innocents - Greece in particular comes to mind. If this occurs, the Muslim apologists will be to blame.

Unfortunately, it is too late for Europe. They should have implemented a filtering and reeducation process for Muslim immigrants at least a decade ago. As it stands, they are breeding too quickly. They're taking over cities. They're raping and murdering westerners. In some countries, they've effectively eliminated free speech.

By 2050, many European nations will be Islamic republics. Europe is essentially doomed to fall into the dark ages. The only contingency will be a violent revolt, and that is not going to end well for anyone. ]]> Current Events Forum Rationalist http://www.justplainpolitics.com/showthread.php?51626-Anti-muslim-group-clashes-with-UK-police-attacks-mosques http://www.justplainpolitics.com/showthread.php?51625-Yeah....its-a-choice&goto=newpost Thu, 23 May 2013 15:37:48 GMT Told ya so....another myth busted. _Eight major studies_ of identical twins in Australia, the U.S., and Scandinavia during the last two decades...

The protests against the legalization of same-sex marriage in France has been surprisingly passionate and may have included yesterday's suicide in the symbolic heart of French Catholicism.


By Sara Miller Llana, Staff writer / May 22, 2013
When French President François Hollande set out to legalize gay marriage, he faced an unexpectedly virulent outcry. Protests, including one that was the largest of its kind in 30 years, drew religious leaders, conservatives fighting for the preservation of family values, and those simply looking for a way to express their discontent with

France approves gay marriage after surprisingly violent debate

There were attacks at gay bars and clashes between protesters and police. One image, of a man who’d been beaten up while walking with his partner on the streets of Paris, went viral when it was posted on Facebook as the “Face of Homophobia.”

Now that gay marriage has become law – President Hollande signed the act last weekend and the nation’s first gay marriage is expected to take place later this month – has the violent debate reached new levels of drama?

On Tuesday afternoon, just days ahead of major protests against gay marriage scheduled for May 26, a far-right French historian walked into Paris’s famed Notre Dame Cathedral, reportedly walked up to the altar, and turned a gun on himself. He pulled the trigger in front of approximately 1,500 tourists.

It is unclear what exactly his motive was. He is said to have left a letter at the scene that has not yet been made public. But the words and statements that have emerged since yesterday’s event point to a planned and public condemnation of gay marriage, immigration, and other topics considered by the far right as a threat to French society.

On his personal blog the historian, Dominique Venner, condemned the “vile” gay marriage law, in a piece dated May 21, the day of his suicide. He called on protesters planning to amass on May 26 not to limit their discontent to just the law but against the “peril” of immigration to France from North Africa.

In what may have been a reference to his impending suicide, he wrote: "There will certainly need to be new, spectacular, symbolic gestures to shake off the sleepiness ... and re-awaken the memories of our origins."

Hours after the suicide, a message apparently written by Mr. Venner was read by a friend on a conservative radio station: "I believe it is necessary to sacrifice myself to break with the lethargy that is overwhelming us," the friend read on the air. "I am killing myself to awaken slumbering consciences."

France’s far-right leader Marine Le Pen, who has risen in polls, wrote in a tweet Tuesday of her respect for Venner, calling his suicide "eminently political."

Notre Dame – the symbol of French Catholicism – was quickly evacuated. The cathedral this year marks 850 years since construction began – but commemorative events celebrating the anniversary will likely be overshadowed, in history, by Venner’s action.

France’s Interior Minister Manuel Valls told reporters: "Notre Dame is the cathedral of Paris, one of the capital's – and the country's – most beautiful monuments, so we realize how symbolic this event truly is." ]]> Current Events Forum The Dude http://www.justplainpolitics.com/showthread.php?51613-Campaigner-against-gay-marriage-in-France-kills-himself-in-Notre-Dame http://www.justplainpolitics.com/showthread.php?51612-Tax-the-Rich-An-animated-fairy-tale&goto=newpost Thu, 23 May 2013 01:50:23 GMT *Not hardly like a damn fairy tale, more like a nightmare come true?!!* *http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S6ZsXrzF8Cc* Not hardly like a damn fairy tale, more like a nightmare come true?!!

One day before President Obama is due to deliver a major speech on national security, his administration on Wednesday formally acknowledged that the United States had killed four American citizens in drone strikes in Yemen and Pakistan.

In a letter to Congressional leaders obtained by The New York Times, Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. disclosed that the administration had deliberately killed Anwar al-Awlaki, a radical Muslim cleric who was killed in a drone strike in September 2011 in Yemen.


The American responsibility for Mr. Awlaki’s death has been widely reported, but the administration had until now refused to confirm or deny it.


The letter also said that the United States had killed three other Americans: Samir Khan, who was killed in the same strike; Mr. Awlaki’s son Abdulrahman al-Awlaki, who was also killed in Yemen; and Jude Mohammed, who was killed in a strike in Pakistan.


“These individuals were not specifically targeted by the United States,” Mr. Holder wrote.

While rumors of Mr. Mohammed’s death had appeared in local news reports in Raleigh, N.C., where he lived, his death had not been confirmed by the United States government until Wednesday.


According to former acquaintances of Mr. Mohammed in North Carolina, he appears to have been killed in a November 2011 drone strike in South Waziristan, in Pakistan’s tribal area. Mr. Mohammed’s wife, whom he had met and married in Pakistan, subsequently called his mother in North Carolina to tell her of his death, the friends say.


Mr. Holder, in a speech at Northwestern University Law School last year, laid out the administration’s basic legal thinking that American citizens who are deemed to be operational terrorists, who pose an “imminent threat of violent attack” and whose capture is infeasible may be targeted. That abstract legal thinking — including an elastic definition of what counts as “imminent” — was further laid out in an unclassified white paper provided to Congress last year, which was leaked earlier this year.


But Mr. Holder’s letter went further in discussing the death of Mr. Awlaki in particular, an operation the administration had previously refused to publicly acknowledge. He said it was not Mr. Awlaki’s words urging violent attacks against Americans that led the United States to target him, but direct actions in planning attacks.


Mr. Holder alleged that Mr. Awlaki not only “planned” the attempted bombing of a Detroit-bound airliner on Dec. 25, 2009, a claim that has been widely discussed in court documents and elsewhere, but also “played a key role” in an October 2010 plot to bomb cargo planes bound for the United States, including taking “part in the development and testing” of the bombs.


“Moreover, information that remains classified to protect sensitive sources and methods evidences Awlaki’s involvement in the planning of numerous other plots against U.S. and Western interests and makes clear he was continuing to plot attacks when he was killed,” Mr. Holder wrote.


He added, “The decision to target Anwar al-Awlaki was lawful, it was considered, and it was just.”

Mr. Obama announced the death of Mr. Awlaki on Sept. 30, 2011, and credited United States intelligence agencies, but he did not explicitly acknowledge that Mr. Awlaki had been killed by an American strike.


Critics were not assuaged by Mr. Holder’s letter. “The Obama administration continues to claim authority to kill virtually anyone anywhere in the world under the ‘global battlefield’ legal theory and a radical redefinition of the concept of imminence,” said Zeke Johnson, an official with Amnesty International.

“President Obama should reject these concepts in his speech tomorrow and commit to upholding human rights, not just in word but in deed.”

Then the two attackers hacked him to death and dumped his body in the middle of a southeastern London road.

As the victim -- dressed in what appeared to be a T-shirt for Help for Heroes, a charity that helps military veterans -- lay prone, one of the two attackers found a camera.

"We swear by almighty Allah we will never stop fighting you," said a meat-cleaver-wielding man with bloody hands, speaking in what seems to be a London accent.

"The only reasons we killed this man this is because Muslims are dying daily," he added, in video aired by CNN affiliate ITN. "This British soldier is an eye for an eye a tooth for tooth."

One witness, Michael Atlee, described the gruesome, frenzied and ultimately fatal sequence of events Wednesday afternoon as "a bloody mess."

British Prime David Cameron called it a terrorist attack.

The word "behead" by itself is enough to implicate a Muslim. What is it with Muslims beheading those with whom they disagree? Why can't they simply "agree to disagree"? The answer is simple: a literal interpretation of the Quran leads them to commit these atrocities; violence is hardwired into their religion. ]]> Current Events Forum Rationalist http://www.justplainpolitics.com/showthread.php?51605-Muslim-Beheads-Christians-In-NJ-Mainstream-Media-Silent
