Hillary Names Merkel As Her "Favorite World Leader"

Nothing could more disqualify Hillary for President than this revealing statement.

From Politico:

Hillary Clinton trolled two White House opponents with a single response, dinging Gary Johnson and Donald Trump by naming Angela Merkel as her favorite world leader. The Democratic presidential nominee on Thursday joined the discussion about politicians’ favorite world leaders, a topic that went viral when Johnson, the Libertarian nominee, drew a blank when asked Wednesday to name a world leader he looks up to and respects.   

“Oh, let me think. Look, I like a lot of the world leaders,” Clinton said, bursting into laughter initially when asked about her favorite world leader during a gaggle with reporters aboard her campaign plane in Chicago. 

“One of my favorites is Angela Merkel because I think she’s been an extraordinary, strong leader during difficult times in Europe, which has obvious implications for the rest of the world and, most particularly, our country.” 

Clinton praised the German chancellor’s “leadership and steadiness on the Euro crisis,” while adding that “her bravery in the face of the refugee crisis is something that I am impressed by.” 

Clinton said she and Merkel have known each other since the 1990s and spent a lot of time together. 

“And I hope I’ll have the opportunity to work with her in the future, but we could talk about lots of different leaders if you want to sometime,” she quipped as she walked away with a smile. 

Her seemingly innocuous response could be interpreted as a two-pronged attack against Johnson and Trump, though. When first asked the question, Johnson admitted that he was having another “Aleppo moment,” a reference to an embarrassing interview with MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” earlier this month in which he asked, “What is Aleppo?” in response to a question about the city that represents the center of Syria’s civil war and refugee crisis, prompting serious questions about his acumen to be commander in chief. 

Trump has frequently attacked Merkel on the campaign trail, panning her for Germany’s intake of refugees, and will likely use that line against Clinton in the final stages of the campaign. “Hillary Clinton is running to be America’s Angela Merkel, and we’ve seen how much crime and how many problems that’s caused the German people,” Trump said in a speech he delivered last month in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Bulgaria Bans Burqa — Offenders Will Lose Benefits

The Burqa, a Portable Concentration Camp For Women

From The Express:

BULGARIA has banned the burka – and warned those who flout the law will be fined £662 and lose their benefits. 

Bulgaria’s parliament banned the wearing of face veils on Friday in a bid to boost security in the wake of Islamist militant attacks in Europe. 

The new “burqa ban” law, which had been driven by the nationalist Patriotic Front coalition, comes after France, the Netherlands and Belgium banned the wearing of burqas or niqabs in public. 

The ban will not only apply to Bulgarian citizens but also to anyone temporarily in the country. The new law states that clothing that conceals the face may not be worn in the institutions of Bulgaria’s central and local administrations, schools, cultural institutions, and places of public recreation, sports and communications. 

Krasimir Velchev, a senior lawmaker for the ruling GERB, said: “The law is not directed against religious communities and is not repressive. “We made a very good law for the safety of our children.” 

Covering the head, eyes, ears and mouth will only be permitted for health reasons, professional necessity and at sporting and cultural events. The ban will also apply to houses of worship. 

A minority of Muslim women in Europe cover their faces, but their veils have become symbols for some Europeans troubled by security, immigration and Muslim integration. 

Muslims make up about 12 percent of Bulgaria’s 7.2 million population and most belong to a centuries-old community, largely ethnic Turks. 

Many Bulgarians are concerned that the migrant inflows into Europe may pose a threat to their predominantly Orthodox Christian culture and help radicalise part of the country’s long-established Muslim minority.

Ex-Muslim Refugee Supports Trump, Is Afraid of Sharia, Wants to Give Western Feminists "A Good ASS-KICKING"

This is what a real fucking Feminist looks like.

Imagine the balls on this woman. She learns that people can be real people, not Islamic Zombies, by watching internet streams, and podcasts, and decides she's had enough of Kuwait.

She takes the first flight out, fleeing her "very Muslim husband", and lands in America, traveling around with "just a backpack" for the first year-and-a-half.

THAT'S what it takes to get out of the oppression of Islam as it exists under a real Islamic system.

THAT'S why we must fight to ensure that such a system is NEVER set up in a Western nation.

Pakistan threatens to DESTROY India with nuclear bomb as atomic enemies edge to the brink of war

Pakistan threatens to DESTROY India with nuclear bomb as atomic enemies edge to the brink of war

PAKISTAN’S Defence Minister has threatened to “destroy” India – after India said on Thursday it had carried out “surgical strikes” on suspected militants preparing to infiltrate from Pakistan-ruled Kashmir. 

The strikes, which were a response to shots fired across the de facto border through the disputed Himalayan territory, could lead to a military escalation between the two nuclear-armed neighbours – risking a ceasefire agreed in 2003. 

Both Pakistan and India claim Kashmir in full, but rule separate parts Tensions have been heightened since an attack on an Indian military base in Kashmir earlier this month, which left 18 soldiers dead.

Pakistan says it opposes these Islamic Jihadi groups, but then it threatens nuclear war if it's neighbor attempts to take said groups out.

Kerry in leaked audio: “I lost the argument” for use of force in Syria

Question: Do you think this is true, or is this just another selfish and imprudent attempt at re-writing history by John Kerry?

From CNN:

“Secretary of State John Kerry’s frustration with the failure of American diplomacy was on display as he defended US efforts to help end the five-year civil war in Syria during a meeting last week with a group of Syrian civilians, according to an audio recording obtained by CNN… 

“I think you’re looking at three people, four people in the administration. I lost the argument. I’ve argued for the use of force. I’m the guy who stood up and announced that we’re going to attack Assad for the use of weapons,” Kerry is heard telling the Syrian attendees, referring to internal deliberations within the administration of President Barack Obama that followed Assad’s use of chemical weapons in 2013. 

Kerry also faulted Congress for failing to support such a retaliatory strike, saying, “The bottom line is that Congress refused even to vote to allow that.” 

“We have a Congress that will not authorize our use of force,” he added, explaining that a new military intervention would be difficult to bring about…”

Historian, Barbara Lefebvre: Crooked School Lessons Present Islam as Peaceful, Demonise Christians

From Breitbart:

“A historian has slammed the double standards employed in French schools which present Muslim conquerors as peaceful and brilliant, and Christians as backwards oppressors. 

Against the backdrop of terror attacks and rising Islamic extremism worldwide, teacher and author Barbara Lefebvre contends that education on Islam has “never been more necessary”. 

But the historian, who has published several books on the Holocaust, argues that textbooks’ sanitisation of Muslim conquests and their presentation of an Islamic supremacist version of history is completely unhelpful. 

The historian says textbooks focus on the “peaceful coexistence” of Muslims and Christians and that official guidelines tell teachers not to study “events that tend to emphasise the warlike contacts”. 

She draws attention to the fact that, incredibly, books use the term “resuming control” when describing Mohammed’s conquests of previously non-Muslim areas. This presents as legitimate “reconquests” the warlord’s bloody takeovers of regions that were never previously Muslim, nor his territory. 

This directive is ignored, she notes, when it comes to the Crusades, as prominent textbooks title their chapter on the subject of Christian self-defence “Violent Holy Wars”. 

This period of history, and the Spanish people’s reconquest of their own country, is told through a series of bloodthirsty “crimes”, Lefebvre notes. The focal point of peaceful cooperation between the two religions is exemplified by trading relations in the French curriculum. 

However, Lefebvre observes that even this narrative follows a Muslim supremacist agenda as textbooks “unanimously describe Islamic civilisation as ‘brilliant’” and claim that all the West is hugely in debt to Arabic science. 

To hammer home the discredited idea that Muslims were wise educators to Europe’s ignorant cave-dwellers, the professor discloses that textbooks quote a Muslim occupier as saying: “This country does not know what science is and those who lived knew no one here who had made himself illustrious by his love for knowledge.” 

Lefebvre notes that, to emphasise this one-sided narrative, students are asked to “show that the presence of Muslims in Andalusia helps develop science and Greek philosophy in the West” in their assessment. 

The professor describes as “disconcerting” the fact that textbooks rely entirely on Muslim sources for accounts of relations between Muslims and non-Muslims. As a result, pupils in French classrooms are taught that non-Muslims welcomed being conquered and invaded as “a blessing”.

INFIDEL BABE OF THE WEEK

From Heat Street:

The best-ranked female chess player in the United States has said she would rather sacrifice her career than submit to demands to wear a hijab at the next world championship. 

Nazi Paikidze, the reigning US Women’s Chess Champion, swore to boycott the 2017 contest, which is being held in Iran and will have an enforced Islamic dress code. 

Paikidze admitted that the decision will harm her career, but said that doing the bidding of an oppressive regime in order to compete is not a price worth paying. 

In an interview with the founder of My Stealthy Freedom, a campaign against Iran’s hijab laws, she said: “I will NOT wear a hijab and support women’s oppression. Even if it means missing one of the most important competitions of my career.”

Forbes: Saudi Arabia Is Buying Up America's Oil Assets

Forbes: Saudi Arabia Is Buying Up America's Oil Assets

"Saudi Arabia is quietly amassing quite a portfolio of American energy assets. State-owned Saudi Aramco is already co-owner, with Royal Dutch Shell , of Motiva, the largest U.S. refinery. Under an already signed agreement, in April 2017, Aramco will take full ownership of the most valuable Motiva assets. Now comes news that Motiva is the leading candidate to purchase the Lyondell Basell Refinery in Houston. This would give Saudi Arabia control of two major Texas refineries proving, once again, that American energy independence is impossible. 

Qatar Petroleum, along with ExxonMobil and ConocoPhillips, built the GoldenPass LNG facility on the Gulf Coast. The plant, one of the largest in the world, began operations in 2010. Qatar Petroleum owns 70% of the facilities and is currently pursuing authorization from the U.S. government to export American produced LNG to customers around the globe.

And here we thought this country was finally approaching the day when we could sever the OIC influence on our national security. Kindly insert long string of uncivilized expletives here...

Islam means [Rest in] Peace

Mail Online:

A 35-year-old hairdresser was allegedly stabbed to death by her husband inside their apartment because he was upset she had converted to Christianity.

Amir Darbanou was charged with the murder of his wife Nasrin Abek after her body was found inside their apartment in the affluent suburb of Potts Point on Thursday.

BadFeelz? Punishment: Death!

Can you name the country?

A 16-YEAR-OLD Christian boy faces the death penalty after he was accused of insulting Islam in a Facebook post.

The boy has been arrested and charged with blasphemy after a photo of the Kaaba in Mecca, one of the holiest sites in Islam, appeared on his profile.

Starts with Paki.

The kid won't survive as long as he stays in the country. Even if the government finds him innocent and releases him, some enterprising Muslim will take it upon himself to slaughter the boy.

Shahbaz Ahmed, a police official, said the informant contacted officers over a post “hurting religious sentiments of Muslims and desecrating the religious place”.

He said the boy "had done a great injustice to us by badly hurting our religious feelings”.

Won't you feel sorry for the poor Muslims?

Muslim Girl:

A layered 15 years marked by a roller coaster that speeds from attack, public outrage, media sensitization, hijabi hate-crime incident, opportunistic politicians coming out of the woodwork, more hate crimes — followed by a little calm and a glimpse of hope.

But then before you know it, it happens all over again. And every time a tragedy hits labeled “terrorism,” you find yourself transported once again into the 15-year-old you sitting in English class watching the Twin Towers fall, selfishly thinking, “please don’t be Muslims.”

More:

As Muslims that are and/or have become part of the Western landscape, whether by ancestry, choice, circumstance or force, we have come to be intimately familiar with carrying the weight of more than a billion people on our shoulders.

In those 15 years, we've had the annihilation of 3,000 lives in NYC, the bombings in London, the murders of children in Beslan, the multiple assaults in France which resulted in hundreds of deaths and so many more to list. But all that death and carnage pales in comparison to the amputated feelings of Muslims in the West.

The manner in which the popular narrative of “Muslim” is constructed and juxtaposed to “terrorism” is such that it pushes us into spaces where we are made to immediately and intensely feel our Muslim-ness as the ultimate “incomprehensible Other.”

That should be the "reprehensible Other".

Living in a narrowly constructed caricature of the “scary unintelligible subject” is not simply an issue of living in constant conversation with an ill-informed stereotype. That, of course, is a major issue — but what’s more fundamentally at issue is our ability to simply feel, to simply be.

Profound.

We need to prioritize our communities; prioritize our young people; prioritize our visible Muslimah out there facing a vicious brand of gendered Islamophobia; prioritize our over-securitized brothers who are going to need to stay resilient and collected in the regular routine of ‘random’ security checks that have become their life; prioritize our community workers and activists who put themselves out there fighting the good fight everyday; prioritize our little ones that are going to hear remarks made in school about their identity and history that they are not going to know what to do with; prioritize our poor and highly racialized parts of our community that do not have the luxury of taking the day off, or resources to deal with the layered battles of classism, racism and Islamophobia.

So brave. 15 years of increasing Islamic assaults on the West and not one word against the evil core of his religion. Not one word against his demented coreligionists who keep slaughtering innocents every damn day. It's all about BadFeelz and the super bad, classist, racist, Islamophobic West. That, ladies and gentlemen, is a pukka moderate Muslim.

Report: Crooked Hillary’s Mysterious Cleanup Man Is Linked to Egypt, Arab Spring

Report: Crooked Hillary’s Mysterious Cleanup Man Is Linked to Egypt, Arab Spring

The identity of the ‘cleanup man’ has been reported as being lawyer Brady Williamson. He has been involved with the Clinton’s for a long time. The fact that the Clinton’s used him, a lawyer, to pick up her papers after the debate leads to many questions. For example, why not have an intern pick the papers up and why the hurry (he was timed in picking up the papers 10 seconds after the debate finished). 

Also, it’s reported that Williamson was involved in projects in Iraq, Southern Sudan, Egypt and Bangladesh, traveling frequently to Baghdad and East Africa to work with the committees drafting new national and regional constitutions. His constitutional work has been sponsored, under a grant from the U.S. government, by the National Democratic Institute for International Affairs (NDI), a nonprofit organization working to strengthen democracy world-wide. 

It’s also reported that the NDI was given a grant of $14 million and then court proceedings against NDI’s staff began in Cairo on February 2012,. NDI was charged with managing an unlicensed nongovernmental organization and receiving funds from the U.S. government without the approval of the Egyptian government.

Yesterday's Train Crash In New Jersey An Act of Terrorism?

Tommy Gallagher - Train Engineer, Cooperating, Released

There are three pieces of odd news that might lead us to believe yesterday's train crash was, indeed, an act of terrorism.

First, Governor Cuomo openly mused about the possibility:

NY Governor Raises Possibility NJ Train Crash at Hoboken Terminal Was Work Of ‘Our Enemies’ 

Speaking to reporters at a Thursday press conference, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo raised the possibility that Thursday’s horrific train crash in Hoboken, New Jersey was somehow the work of “enemies” of the United States of America. 

“I would like to take this opportunity to say that these are difficult times over these past weeks and months between terrorist attacks and natural disasters,” Cuomo told the gathered crowd of reporters. 

“We have had our hands full in this country. We have had our hands full in the Northeast.” “I want to thank the linden police who did an extraordinary job in apprehending Rahami in connection with the Chelsea bombing, and they did a fantastic job,” he continued. 

“I want to thank the coordination and the cooperation of our neighbors and partners in making that happen.” 

“Today is another situation for us to deal with, but, I also believe as many challenges as Mother Nature sends us, or our enemies send us, we are up to handling them,” he noted. “We’ll handle them one at a time, but when we work together, there is nothing that we can’t accomplish and nothing that we cannot over come.”

Second, there was a very odd warning the day before the Train Crash, which appeared in the form of an apparent hack of a Television News Scroll at the bottom of the TV screen:

Warning For The United States: "Would You? Could You? On a Train? Wait for Further Instructions"


And finally,

Tommy Gallagher, the Train Engineer, was released from Hospital custody, said to be fully cooperating

Tommy Gallagher, of Morris Plains, New Jersey, was hospitalized in critical condition after the crash, WABC-TV reports. A passenger said he was “completely bloodied,” when he was taken out of the train, according to the New York Daily News. But he had been released from the hospital by Thursday night, ABC reporter Josh Margolin reports. He is cooperating with authorities as they investigate what caused the train to crash into the station. He has not yet commented publicly about what happened. The NTSB said they have not yet interviewed him.

I think this means officials KNOW it is not his fault.

The fact that the train was traveling at a rate of only 30 MPH when it entered the station would indicate he meant no harm. The fact that the brakes didn't work at all, means either,

1) the brakes broke down suddenly for no reason at all, or

2) the brakes were tampered with.

Shaykh Mustafa Umar, Founder of California Islamic University, Advocates For Polygamy To Be Practiced In Western Nations

In an episode of "The Deen Show" posted on YouTube on September 11, Sheikh Mustafa Umar, founder and director of California Islamic University, promoted polygyny as "an avenue for many women to get married" instead of remaining single for the rest of their lives, citing as an example women who spend years studying medicine.

‘We either protect Europe or we LOSE it’ Hungary PM would deport all illegal migrants

‘We either protect Europe or we LOSE it’ Hungary PM would deport all illegal migrants

Sunday’s vote is essentially to decide whether Hungary’s borders are controlled by the national parliament or by the EU. 

The openly anti-migrant Viktor Orban believes that a vote to retain control at national level may have a domino effect within the EU and for that reason politicians of Brussels are already attacking it. 

Mr Orban said: "By a successful referendum we can possibly succeed in fights with those who want to weaken Europe by uncontrolled migration. 

"We should deport all of those who entered Europe unlawfully. We either protect our home, Europe, or we are going to lose it completely." 

The Hungarian leader claims the EU’s open-door migrant policy is triggering deeper problems for Europe and even the refugees. 

Mr Orban thinks the solution lies in stopping migrants from leaving their homes completely. 

He said: "Accepting the influx of migrants in Europe is like going to war with our hands thrown up in the air. 

"We believe that we should protect our borders and we should avoid hundreds of thousands of people from entering Europe. 

"Furthermore, we should effectively stop them from leaving their own countries.

Islamism Is As Old As Islamic History Itself

A devastatingly eloquent and concise assessment of Islam, Islamism, and ISIS, from German Television.

Hamed Abdel Samad is an Egyptian-German writer and an apostate from Islam.

He lives under a death Fatwa for his acerbic writings about his former religion.



Comment on the video:

The woman in the video is lying and she knows she is lying. The Qur'an CANNOT be adjudicated without the use of the Ahadith. The Ahadith bring greater texture to the ideology. One CANNOT be separated from the other.

Qur'an and Sunnah TOGETHER define Islamic jurisprudence.

This word: Unbelievers - is beginning to bother me. It is a negative against other faiths. I believe we should begin referring to Muslims as the "unbelievers". They are the ones who retain unbelief.

I am a Believer, not an unbeliever. Let the negativity fall on them. The very use of the term comes from the Arabic word kafr - which also means concealment.

They - continue to conceal the ideological tenets of their faith. Not me. Nope. Jesus Christ, Lamb of God. No concealment on my part, because there remains nothing to conceal.

-------

..."war is deceit" (Hadith 4:269) and Islam specifically provides the coinage of jihad economies :

tools better known as taqiyya, tawriya, kitman and muruna

And to assist with the Islamic doctrinal tools of deception, there is the concept of abrogation, also known as dualism.
"Our first clue about the dualism is in the Koran, which is actually two books, the Koran of Mecca (early) and the Koran of Medina (later). The insight into the logic of the Koran comes from the large numbers of contradictions in it. On the surface, Islam resolves these contradictions by resorting to “abrogation”. This means that the verse written later supersedes the earlier verse. But in fact, since the Koran is considered by Muslims to be the perfect word of Allah, both verses are sacred and true. The later verse is “better,” but the earlier verse cannot be wrong since Allah is perfect. This is the foundation of dualism. Both verses are “right.” Both sides of the contradiction are true in dualistic logic.
The circumstances govern which verse is used." Dr. Bill Warner, CSPI, Frontpagemag.com

Something's Going On With "Emergency Alerts"?

BeforeItsNews: Whoa! Scary Test to Happen Tomorrow 9/28/16! EAS Emergency Alert System Will Include an Announcement From the President to Individual Citizens! (Video)
and
BeforeItsNews: FEMA’s IPAWS to Hold National Test of Emergency Alert System Today 

FEMA’s IPAWS will hold a national test of the Emergency Alert System (EAS) on Wednesday, September 28th, 2016 at 2:20pm EDT. The National Periodic Test (NPT) code, which is used to distribute the national test, is similar to the Regular Monthly test (RMT) code that generates a brief EAS message on radio, TV, and cable indicating a test of the EAS is in progress.
The NPT test code will be sent from FEMA’s alerting infrastructure, known as IPAWS, and relayed through all aspects of the EAS. The test message will be the same as a typical monthly EAS test message, with one exception: the word “National” will be added to the test message.
The goal of the mandatory test is to assess the operational readiness and effectiveness of the IPAWS infrastructure for distribution of a national-level message to the public. A second goal is to implement a standard method for regular alert and warning tests which help to improve the national preparedness posture.
The test is expected to have limited impact on the public with only minor disruptions of radio and television programs. Only the EAS will be tested in this nationwide test. Cell phone and other FEMA alerting capabilities will not be tested during this event.

After Chelsea Bombing, NYC Launches Efforts To Silence ‘Negative Rhetoric’ About Islam

After Chelsea Bombing, NYC Launches Efforts To Silence ‘Negative Rhetoric’ About Islam

Less than two weeks after the terrorist bombings in New Jersey and New York City’s Chelsea neighborhood, NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio’s administration is launching a new campaign against the “negative rhetoric targeting Muslim communities” that the city says gets worse after “terrorist incidents.”  

A press release from the city on Monday explained the reasoning for the new anti-anti-Islam efforts: “Across the country, hateful speech has made Muslim residents the target of misguided attacks and threats, especially in the aftermath of terrorist incidents,” states a press release from the city. 

The city is targeting Muslims for community outreach efforts, “including issuing a new multilingual fact sheet explaining protections against religious discrimination with a focus on Muslim communities and a new multilingual brochure on religious protections under NYC Human Rights Law with practical examples to identify discrimination in the workplace, housing, and public accommodations.” 

On Monday, the city launched a new digital ad campaign that features pictures of Muslims with captions that read, “I am Muslim. I am NYC.” The ads continue in smaller print: “New Yorkers of all faiths deserve to live safely and free from discrimination. In NYC, it’s illegal to discriminate against or harass someone based on their religion or creed. #IAmMuslimNYC”

4 states sue US government to stop internet giveaway

The effort in Congress to stop the ICANN transfer may not have succeeded, but 4 states starting with Texas are now joining the battle for keeping the internet free and safe, and have filed a lawsuit:

Three conservative states are suing the Obama administration in an attempt to block the U.S. government from ceding oversight of some of the internet’s core systems.

The attorneys general of Texas, Oklahoma and Arizona on Thursday asked a federal court in Galveston, Texas, to keep the Commerce Department from relinquishing oversight of ICANN, or the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers.

The internet relies on the “domain name” system. That includes directories helping computers on the network send data. ICANN has overseen the directories since 1998.

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and others opposed the transition, which was approved by Congress in a temporary spending bill keeping the government running. The lawsuit says ceding control of ICANN violates the Property Clause of U.S. Constitution, which restricts giving away government property.

I wish Texas and the others good luck with this suit, and it's good they're concerned, because local security is just as important as national, and they have every right to be concerned on those grounds too.

The Federalist Papers:

BREAKING: US Suspends Diplomacy With Russia; Prepares “Military Options

The United States is preparing to “end diplomatic engagement” with Russia and preparing military options over the continued bombing of Aleppo by Russian forces.
Reuters is reporting that the U.S. is expected to tell Russia Thursday that they have officially ended their diplomatic engagement with Syria. U.S. officials have said they’re looking at “tougher” responses to the Russian-backed Syrian government, including “military options.”
The discussions were being held at “staff level,” Reuters reports, and have yet to produce anything concrete to present to President Obama, who has been reluctant to order military action in Syria.But now that diplomacy seems to have ended, it gives the “green light” for Obama to send US trips into Syria. If that happens, ZeroHedge reports, Vladimir Putin is likely to do the same thing, leading to the biggest military escalation in the proxy war in Syria since the war began almost six years ago.
Even administration advocates of a more muscular U.S. response said on Wednesday that it was not clear what, if anything, the president would do, and that his options “begin at tougher talk,” as one official put it.
One official said that before any action could be taken, Washington would first have “follow through on Kerry’s threat and break off talks with the Russians” on Syria.

But the heavy use of Russian airpower in Syria has compounded U.S. distrust of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s geopolitical intentions, not only in the 5-1/2 year civil war, but also in the Ukraine conflict and in what U.S. officials say are Russian-backed cyber attacks on U.S. political targets.
The U.S. officials said the failure of diplomacy in Syria has left the Obama administration no choice but to consider alternatives, most of which involve some use of force and have been examined before but held in abeyance.
Other options to military troops include allowing America’s Gulf allies to supply the rebels with more sophisticated weaponry and, a U.S.-led airstrike on an Assad-controlled air base, which would cause fewer Russian casualties.

With only four months left in office, Obama is loath to commit to any large-scale commitment of U.S. Troops.Critics of Obama’s policy in Syria argue that he set a goal – Assad’s departure – without providing sufficient means to achieve it by arming the rebels earlier and more extensively, allowing U.S. allies to do so or using U.S. military might to tip the scales in the conflict.

Further, foreign policy experts inside and outside the administration have said Obama erred when he pulled back from launching air strikes on Syria to enforce a “red line” he set against the Assad government’s use of chemical weapons. The result, they argued, was to diminish U.S. credibility in Moscow, Damascus and elsewhere because the perception took hold that Obama would not keep his word and follow through on his threat.

Canadian imam: Islam and democracy are “absolutely incompatible”

From Jihad Watch:

Mazin AbdulAdhim, a prominent Imam of Iraqi descent in London, Ontario who is affiliated with the radical Islamic global movement of Hizb ut-Tahrir, asserts that “Islam and democracy are contradictory and absolutely incompatible. 

So what is Imam Mazin AbdulAdhim doing in Canada? He’s on a mission, of course, as are his “stealth” jihadist counterparts.

He called on Canadian Muslims to stick to the Islamic law, reject secularism, work together to spread Islam, re-establish the Islamic State (Caliphate) and implement the rulings of Islam (Sharia Law).

Swedish Churches Foil Deportations by Hiding Sought-After Migrants

From the Express:

Roughly 12,000 migrants have fallen from radar after receiving a negative response to their asylum requests. And police are on the prowl, seeing to process them for deportation. 

“Astonishingly, the churches are helping the in-hiding migrants with food and medicine. … “[A] deacon in Linköping, Anna Ramén, said she estimated that 500 to 1000 failed asylum-seekers have gone under ground in her area alone. 

She said: ‘Many people who live this way are living under a lot of pressure and stress, they don’t know what will happen. 

“‘The help we can offer is not enough [because] there are so many.'” She also said that she was only helping the migrants hide from authorities, not avoid deportation. But how is that possible? 

“It is illegal for any foreigner to remain in the country after having an application from asylum denied. 

“However, Ms. Ramén added that laws and regulations should be there to help people. 

“She said: ‘We have laws and regulations that [are in place] to help people, but sometimes these laws and regulations also topple people. 

“‘That people lose their human dignity is not consistent with our Christian faith.'” 

But the church actions, which already violate law, aren’t really consistent with Swedish will, either. 

“The revelation comes as a poll revealed the famously liberal Swedes have turned against migrants after being pushed to breaking point in the struggle to cope with the ‘totally unprecedented’ influx of refugees. 

“The study claimed the previously welcoming country has now reached its tolerance limit following months of migrant violence, sexual assaults and the death of asylum worker Alexandra Mezher in January this year. 

“In 2015 alone Sweden, with a population of 9.5 million, received over 160,000 asylum applications and the country is expected to take as many as 190,000 refugees, or two per cent of the population, before the end of 2016.”

Ohio HONOR KILLING: Muslim Father Shoots Daughter in the Head — Twice While She Slept

Tahani Mansour - Accidentally Shot Twice In The Head By Her Moderate Muslim Father

You have to go to multiple news sources to get the whole story, but it's pretty clear what happened. Whether Mr. Mansour did this because his daughter was too Westernized, not a good enough Muslima daughter, piece of property to he and his sons, well, that remains to be answered.

Father claims it was an accident, even though he shot her twice in the head.

From Fox 19:

ROCKY RIVER, OH (WOIO) – A 63-year-old father is facing murder, felonious assault, and domestic violence charges after Rocky River police say he shot his daughter twice. tahani-mansour Tahani Mansour was rushed to Fairview Hospital Tuesday morning. 

She died around 11 a.m., 10 hours after police say Jamal Mansour shot her. In front of a judge on Tuesday, he said it was an accident. 

The victim’s brother called 9-1-1 for help at 1:15 a.m. Tuesday. He told the operator his father just shot his sister in her room at the family’s home on Vine Court. This is how a portion of the 9-1-1 call went: 

Operator: “Go ahead sir.” 

Caller: “Yes, my sister has been shot. Please send an ambulance, please.” 

Operator: “OK, where has she been shot at?” 

Caller: “In her room.” 

Operator: “OK. Did she shoot herself? Did you see who shot her?” 

Caller: “No, my father shot her.” 

During the 911 call, the brother said that his father has diabetes. 

Police say the father shot his daughter twice in the head. 

“We don’t have a solid motive other than an argument occurred between a father and his daughter,” said Lt. George Lichman with Rocky River Police. 

Lichman says Tahani Mansour was one of six children. She lived at home with her parents and was the youngest child. 

“We had the fire department respond and do an evaluation, it turns out (the father) was not under any medical care at the time of the incident and since he’s been in our jail,” Lichman said, when asked about his health. 

The victim graduated from Rocky River High School, and went to Cleveland State. She had a doctor of pharmacy degree from Northeast Ohio Medical University. 

From AP:

ROCKY RIVER, Ohio (AP) — A suburban Cleveland man has been charged with murder in the fatal shooting of his adult daughter at the family’s home. 

Rocky River police say Jamal Mansour shot 27-year-old Tahani Mansour several times in the head during an argument early Tuesday. 

Police Lt. Bill Crates says detectives are trying to determine why the man shot his daughter, a licensed pharmacist, with a .38-caliber revolver. 

Jamal Mansour told a judge Tuesday it was an accident. Court records don’t indicate whether he has an attorney. 

He’s being held on a $1.5 million bond. The 63-year-old father and gas station owner was arrested at the home. 

Mansour’s wife and two other children also were there when the shooting occurred. 

Crates says Jamal Mansour has no criminal history.

From Fox 8:

Paramedics and police rushed to the home after the brother of Tahani Mansour reported that she had been shot twice while asleep in her bed. 

When asked to explain why the father would shoot his own daughter, family members blamed a medical condition; they said Mansour is a diabetic.

In other words, they gave no motive.

We are left to assume that's because they are covering for the fact that the Father was killing her because she violated their Muslim Honor and humiliated the Prophet.

5 Jihad Terror Plots Foiled on French Riviera Since Nice Islamic Attack

French police arrest 3 teenage ISIS-linked terror suspects in 1 week https://t.co/2YuzsXmTSq

— RT (@RT_com) September 15, 2016

From RT:

Authorities in France thwarted as many as five cases of terrorist plots that sought to target various sites, Prosecutor Jean-Michel Pretre said in a documentary titled ‘Deradicalized’ to be shown on France 3. 

"Several cases have been passed on to the anti-terrorism prosecutor in Paris. It was about religious sites, during certain celebrations, sporting events, stadiums, schools," said Pretre. 

The foiled attacks involved "people who started to articulate things that are rather precise about a type of target or even a specific target," the prosecutor was quoted as saying. 

On Monday, Pretre said that as many as 70 cases related to terrorism or radicalization had been investigated since the attack in Nice in July. 

France has been on high alert since the beginning of 2015 after a series of terrorist attacks hit the country. It declared a state of emergency after the November attacks in Paris which claimed the lives of more than 130 people.

Arcan Cetin, the Cascade Mall Shooter, Voted in the Past Three Elections, Even Though He is NOT A CITIZEN

Mall shooter illegally voted in 3 elections...

From NBC King 5:

Federal sources confirm to KING 5 that Cetin was not a U.S. citizen, meaning legally he cannot vote. However, state records show Cetin registered to vote in 2014 and participated in three election cycles, including the May presidential primary. 

Cetin, who immigrated to the United States from Turkey as a child, is considered a permanent resident or green card holder. While a permanent resident can apply for U.S. citizenship after a certain period of time, sources tell KING his status had not changed from green card holder to U.S. citizen. 

While voters must attest to citizenship upon registering online or registering to vote at the Department of Licensing Office, Washington state doesn't require proof of citizenship.
