China is very creative in dealing with its Muslim problem. When the Uighur separatists threatened to disrupt the Beijing Olympics, China shut down their mosques for several months prior to the Games. As it is, they are required to have State-approved imams in all mosques. The Chinese government loves to ban fasting during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, often force-feeding people if they refuse to eat. 

Uighur Muslim separatists often carry out terrorist attacks which only makes the Chinese government crack down even harder on the whole community 

OnIslam  Unlike millions of Muslims around the world, Uighur students returning for summer vacations in northwestern China are banned from fasting during the holy month of Ramadan. ”They are extracting guarantees from parents, promising that their children won’t fast on Ramadan,” Dilxat Raxit, Sweden-based spokesman for the exile World Uighur Congress (WUC), told Radio Free Asia on Thursday, June 13.

Activists have also complained that Uighur students are being stripped of their mobile phones ahead of Ramadan. ”After the students get back to their hometowns, those with cell phones and computers must hand them in to the police for searching,” said Raxit. ”If they don’t hand them over and are reported or caught by the authorities, then they will have to bear the consequences.”

Guidance posted on government websites called on Communist Party leaders to restrict Muslim religious activities during the holy month, including fasting and visiting mosques.
The government has banned any public religious activities by the region’s Muslims

Students defying the restrictions are being reported to authorities for punishment. ”They have also made groups of 10 households responsible for spying on each other, so that if a single child from one family fasts for Ramadan, or takes part in religious activities, then all 10 families will be fined,” Raxit said.

Ramadan, the holiest month in Islamic calendar, is set to start next month. In Ramadan, adult Muslims abstain from food, drink, smoking and sex between dawn and sunset. Religious officials have confirmed that Ramadan fasting is banned for Uighur Muslim students.

“The students and the teachers have to report to their schools every Friday, even during the vacation. ”It’s like regular lessons,” he said, adding that the students would also be eating there.

The pre-Ramadan restrictions come ahead of the fourth anniversary of deadly Muslim riots in Xinjiang, which left nearly 200 people dead. Chinese authorities have convicted about 200 people, mostly Uighurs, over the riots and sentenced 26 of them to death.

Many Chinese citizens were killed and wounded in violence by the Uighur Muslim separatists

Xinjiang has been autonomous since 1955 but continues to be the subject of massive security crackdowns by Chinese authorities. Rights groups accuse Chinese authorities of religious repression against Uighur Muslims in the name of counter terrorism. Muslims accuses the government of settling millions of ethnic Han in their territory with the ultimate goal of obliterating its identity and culture.

Analysts say the policy of transferring Han Chinese to Xinjiang to consolidate Beijing’s authority has increased the proportion of Han in the region from five percent in the 1940s to more than 40 percent now.

Many Uighurs accuse China’s rulers of religious and political persecution, while complaining that their homeland is being inundated with the nation’s dominant Han ethnic group.

Beijing views the vast region of Xinjiang as an invaluable asset because of its crucial strategic location near Central Asia and its large oil and gas reserves.

Under the radar of Western media, Denmark is experiencing an Islamic jihad against mothers with babies in carriages and strollers.

Vlad Tepes  (h/t Don L) In Denmark, two assaults on Danish moms quietly strolling along with their little ones took place within a single week. And it appears that Muslim invaders have begun using this very innovative strategy in their ongoing quest to “strike terror” into the hearts of the infidels.

Whereas the latest incident was granted a short article in Jyllands-Posten, the earlier, much more cruel attack, did not make it into the MSM at all. And this in spite of pleas to help find the perpetrators from friends, relatives and some 34.000 concerned Danes, who shared the story on Facebook:

Saturday afternoon the daughter of a friend of mine was attacked near the small pedestrian paths around Jersie Station. She was walking along with her 6-week-old son in the buggy. 2 youths of a different (Muslim) ethnic background come by and tip the buggy over, throwing the little one out. He was not breathing anymore and she had to give him mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. 

Two weeks ago she was approached by the same two people. They grabbed her shoulder and said it “would be fun to steal a baby”. She turned around and resolutely kicked one of them before running off.

The latest story from Jyllands-Posten  Assault on Woman with baby carriage.

Friday evening on the 14th of June at 18.30 a 34 year-old woman with a buggy was assaulted on Bredkilde Street by Risskov.

“Three Arab Muslim-looking girls between 14 and 17 assaulted the Danish woman of 34 entirely without motivation – first with verbal insults,” says Klaus Hvegholm Møller, officer at East-Jutland Police, to Jyllands-Posten. He continues, “Thereafter the 34 year-old woman had parts of her hair and jacket cut off, apparently with scissors.”

“At first they yelled cuss-words at her, “fucking Danish bitch” among other things. Suddenly they  grabbed her and while laughing, began to tear at her hair. She then started to run away with the child in her buggy. As they grabbed her, they cut off parts of her hair and clothing.

The police still have no clue as to the reason for the attack.

Denmark used to be so safe, Danish parents would just leave their children outside alone in their pram. In the photo below, there are two babies sleeping in their prams while the babies’ parents were enjoying brunch in the café.

Not any more, I guess.

In Thailand’s three southern-most provinces, the Islamic insurgency has claimed more than 5,000 Buddhist lives since 2004 as Muslims use violence to force the Thai government to let them have their own Islamic state in southern Thailand. (See links below)

Unfortunately, now, the government is holding a series of peace talks – for the first time in the nine-year conflict – with leaders of one of the insurgent groups. Big mistake. Once they get what they want, they will demand more and increase the violence.

Catalan police have arrested five Tunisian men in Barcelona for sharing over 400 videos on social networks of al-Qaeda leaders as well as footage of terrorist attacks and tutorials on bomb-making.

The Local (h/t IslamvsEurope) Operation Kartago led to the arrests of the five Muslims in the Barcelona neighbourhoods of Raval, Encants and La Mina in the early hours of Wednesday morning. The investigation began in 2012 when Spain’s national police force ascertained that the photos and videos being distributed online by the suspects were being approved and followed by a global jihadist movement.

Spain’s Interior Ministry is accusing the men of inciting Islamist terrorism and has pointed out that more arrests could take place if ongoing police searches in the Catalan capital find more extremist content being distributed online. So far more than 400 photos, videos and texts have been found, including footage of al-Qaeda leaders Bin Laden and Al-Zarqawi giving speeches, executions by firing squad, terrorist attacks, tutorials on bomb-making and muhajideen training.

The imam of the mosque that the TV crew had planned to interview is horrified and says this group has “never been violent before.” (HAH!) However, this same news crew does everything it can to avoid laying blame on Islam or the mosque from which these savages came.

Take a lesson Europe and America. Russian police detained at least 300 people at a Muslim prayer room in Moscow on Friday after President Vladimir Putin ordered a crackdown on radical Muslims ahead of next year’s Winter Olympics in Sochi.

DNA (h/t M Z) Putin has put security forces on high alert to safeguard the Games in the Black Sea resort of Sochi, which lies near to mainly Muslim southern provinces where Russia is battling an Muslim violent insurgency that has targeted Moscow. “We must fight back hard against extremists who, under the banners of radicalism, nationalism and separatism, are trying to split our society,” Putin said.

“The policy in the fight against corruption, crime and the insurgency has to be carried out harshly and consistently,” Putin told a meeting of security force officers. “The situation in the North Caucasus should be kept under particular control.”

Friday’s raid, the third targeting Muslim places of worship in Moscow or St Petersburg this year, led to the detention of 300 people including 170 foreigners and the confiscation of Islamist literature to check for extremist content, Russian news agencies quoted the Federal Security Service (FSB) as saying.

The FSB did not say why the people had been detained (Oh, I bet I can think of a few reasons…see below). Russia is keen to boost its counter-terrorism credentials after the deadly Boston Marathon bombing allegedly carried out by two ethnic Chechen men, one of whom spent time last year in the North Caucasus province of Dagestan that borders Chechnya.

Two Muslim female suicide bombers blew themselves up on crowded metro trains in the Russian capital Moscow killing 37 people and injuring 70.

The Islamist insurgency, led by the ‘Caucasus Emirate’ group and Russia’s most wanted man Doku Umarov, is rooted in two post-Soviet wars between Moscow and Chechen rebels. The insurgents want to create an Islamic emirate in the North Caucasus region. Fears of Islamist militants in Moscow have risen since police killed two men and detained another two who allegedly belonged to an outlawed Islamist group that was plotting an attack during a major holiday earlier this year.

Human rights activists say Russia’s Islamist insurgency is fuelled by a combination of religion, official corruption and strong arm tactics against suspected militants by local leaders. In Dagestan, which has become the focal point for insurgent violence, police disarmed two suicide bomber belts and detained two women, Interfax reported on Friday.

Barack Hussein Obama is funding and arming the al-Qaeda linked jihadists who want to bring down the secular Assad government that respects the rights of women and minorities. Why is our Republican-majority Congress allowing this to happen when they control the purse strings?

There have been calls for an urgent debate in the Dutch parliament about the integration of Muslim immigrants amid claims that one area of The Hague, known locally as the ‘Sharia triangle,’ is being run by a form of unofficial Sharia police. (URGENT DEBATE? How about arrests and deportation?)

Irish Times (h/t Susan K) The claims relate to the district of Schilderswijk, about two kilometres from the city centre, where an almost entirely Muslim population of some 5,000 people surrounds the El Islam mosque, fuelling criticism that the government has failed to ensure a proper ethnic mix in schools and local housing. One recent investigation, in which local people were extensively interviewed, concluded that Schilderswijk had become “orthodox Muslim territory” which was now largely ignored by the city authorities, by politicians and even by the police, on the grounds that it had become self-regulating.

The investigation found that orthodox Muslims had become so dominant that they were dictating what people in the neighbourhood wore and how they behaved. “The norms of the majority are beginning to take over,” it said.

In the case of women, dress was a particular issue. One woman told how her daughter had been approached and told her short skirt was inappropriate, while her son had been called a “kaffir” – a racist term formerly used in colonial South Africa to refer to a black person – for smoking.

A youth who had previously been involved in local gangs said that criminality had dropped off, not because of the police, but because he and his friends were “afraid of the wrath of Allah.”

Another man said he felt he was gradually being driven out of his home because he had a dog, and many traditional Muslims tended not to keep or favour dogs.

A veiled Muslim woman, however, defended Islamic practices, and said dressing modestly would “do the locals good”. She pointed out that women in the Dutch ultra-conservative, largely Protestant, Bible Belt also wore long dresses, and that shops there were closed on Sunday – as many in Schilderswijk were on Fridays.

Local police chief Michel de Roos said: “We have no indications there is a form of Sharia police here. That is not to say it does not happen, but we are unaware of it.” Last Tuesday, social affairs minister Lodewijk Asscher and right-wing Freedom Party leader Geert Wilders paid separate visits to the area, and are to report to parliament.

Dutch politician Geert Wilders: “Deporting millions of Muslims might be necessary.”

The terrorist attack in Benghazi is far more disturbing than previously thought. Although not  reported in the U.S. media, the possibility exists that the Egyptian government may have played an operational role in the attack. YouTube videos of the terrorist strike raise a serious problem that only an Arabic speaker would detect: some of the terrorists are speaking in the Egyptian dialect of the Arabic language.

Frontpage Magazine  Indeed, one of the videos shot with a cell phone of one of the attackers emerged around the time four Americans were killed. It shows a mob approaching the American compound under siege, clearly telling the terrorists in the dialect of Upper Egypt: “Mahadesh, mahadesh yermi, Dr. Morsi ba`atna” — which translates to: “Don’t shoot, don’t shoot, Dr. Morsi sent us.”

The words “Mahadesh yermi” for “don’t shoot” are characteristically spoken in Egyptian Arabic, while Libyans from Benghazi would say, “Matermey” for “don’t shoot.” “Dr. Morsi” refers, of course, to president Mohamed Morsi of Egypt. The name Morsi is Egyptian and does not exist in any other Arabic speaking country.

The Egyptian regime’s connection to Benghazi also helps explain why it denied U.S. the ability to interrogate Abo Ahmed, an Egyptian suspect in the terrorist attack.

According to a Fox News report, Abo Ahmed had contacted Al-Qaeda leader Ayman Al-Zawahiri in late 2012, asking to establish a base in Libya “to take advantage of the conditions in Libya after the revolution in order to buy weapons and attract foreign fighters.”

Egyptian media demanded an explanation from the Egyptian regime on why Morsi’s name was mentioned by jihadists during the attack. This question went unanswered, and until now there has been no word of this issue in English-language media.

Omar Abdul Rahman is the Blind Sheik, an Egyptian terrorist, currently in a US prison for life for being the mastermind behind the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. Mohamed Morsi has asked Obama to release him from jail.

This incident fits a larger context: On the same day that the U.S. compound in Benghazi was attacked, so too was the U.S. Embassy in Cairo under attack, resulting in al-Qaeda flags flying above the embassy in the place of American flags. According to friends living two blocks away from the U.S. embassy, Egyptian security was withdrawn from protecting the embassy a month prior to the attack – a development without precedent.

Reports from numerous Egyptian dissidents at that time, which included prominent Egyptian dissident Wael Abbas on his twitter account, stated that the people surrounding the U.S. embassy in Cairo were not protestors but “regime-hired thugs.”

Anyone who has lived in Egypt knows that Egyptian citizens don’t have access to enter the neighborhood where the U.S. embassy is located without passing through at least two check points where they are required to show personal ID, state the reason for entering the neighborhood and provide proof of this purpose. I know because I personally had to do this numerous times for decades.

It should not come as a surprise that the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) would engage in attacks against the United States. The MB’s ideology incorporates war tactics and supports terrorism against the U.S. as one of its major objectives.

The current MB leadership isn’t ashamed of announcing its support for al-Qaeda and Osama Bin Laden’s attack against America. The MB member and Freedom and Justice Party (FJP) Vice Chairman Essam El-Erian stated in March 2011: “The assassination of the leader Osama Bin Laden doesn’t mean the end in the war against the enemies of Allah. The way he was killed reveals the ugly face of American civilization.”

Yet after El-Erian’s announcement of his support for Bin Laden, State Department officials welcomed him in December 2012 in the U.S..

According to the MB and Sunni doctrine, it’s only permissible for Islamist leaders to maintain a ten-year duration of hodna (Islamic truce) with an infidel nation. This raises the question of whether breaking the truce was the root of the Sep. 11, 2012 attack in Benghazi. That attack against America was, according to Islamist doctrine, the only way the MB would be allowed to renew a truce. The MB also might have possibly needed to legitimize their Islamic rule among their jihadist followers through exercising jihad.

The MB’s duality and hypocrisy remain major war tactics. While dealing with the U.S., Morsi himself practices deceit when he, for instance, calls President Obama a liar in Arabic, and a friend in English. The MB war is fueled and encouraged by the submissive and self-loathing suicidal foreign policy of the Obama administration, which elevates U.S. enemies above U.S. interests.

The rioting was sparked Tuesday by reports that a Muslim man had splashed gasoline on a Buddhist woman and set her on fire. The man was arrested and the woman was hospitalized with horrific burns as seen in the video below.

Bismarck Tribune  (h/t Maria J) Hundreds of Buddhist men on motorcycles, screaming and waving iron rods and sticks, roamed the streets of a town in northeastern Myanmar on Wednesday in a new wave of violence targeting Muslims. At least one person died and four others were injured, state television said.

Nay Win, aged 48, (photo below) was chasing after Aye Aye Win, 24, trying to douse her with fuel. At that time, the woman was at her petrol shop near the township maternal and child welfare association office by the Union Highway. Nay Win is the Indian-Chinese man of Islamic faith while Aye Aye Win is the Chinese-Myanmar woman of Buddhist faith. The woman tried to run but was caught and doused with the fuel by the man, who was later beaten by angry local people from nearby areas.

A mosque, a Muslim school and other buildings were burned in the two days of rioting. Many Muslims stayed locked inside their homes and shops remained shuttered in Lashio town, near the border with China, the latest region to fall prey to the country’s spreading religious violence.

The flare-up in Lashio reinforced doubts that President Thein Sein’s government can or will act to contain the violence and crack down on racial and religious intolerance.

Mobs took revenge by burning down the mosque and other buildings on Tuesday, but caused no reported casualties. Calm appeared to return as troops were deployed on the streets and authorities banned gatherings of more than five people and imposed an overnight curfew. But on Wednesday several hundred angry young men drove motorcycles through Lashio’s downtown area. A Buddhist monk was seated on the back of one of the motorcycles, waving a stick.

On another street, a crowd threw rocks at buildings. Smoke billowed in another area, and local politician Sai Myint Maung said a movie theater had been burned and there were rumors that more troublemakers were gathered on the outskirts of the town.

Wary Muslims hid in their homes, fearing the kind of brutal violence that claimed dozens of lives earlier this year in other parts of the country, and the large-scale attacks that killed hundreds in western Myanmar last year. ”I never expected that such racial violence would erupt in Lashio,” Sai Myint Maung said. “Our small town is multiethnic and we have lived in peace for a long time.”

A local freelance journalist was attacked as he photographed a mob ransacking some shops. ”The mob accused me of recording their act and asked me to surrender the camera. I handed over the memory card and I was hit on my head with an iron pipe, causing a gash on my head,” Khun Zaw Oo said. He said he managed to flee but a companion also holding a camera was attacked and badly injured.

State TV said a 48-year-old man had been arrested for throwing gasoline on a 24-year-old Buddhist woman and setting her on fire. It identified the man as an Indian Muslim but did not explain the reason for the attack. The man was charged with causing grievous injuries and arson, as well as drug possession due to stimulants found in his pocket, the TV report said. The woman was being treated for burns on her chest, back and hands.

National police said nine people were arrested for involvement in the two days of violence, but didn’t say if they were Buddhists or Muslims. The sectarian violence first flared in western Rakhine state last year, when hundreds of people died in clashes between Buddhists and Muslims that drove about 140,000 others, mostly Muslims, from their homes. Most are still living in refugee camps.

This month, authorities in two areas of Rakhine announced a regulation limiting Rohingya families to two children. The policy drew sharp criticism from Muslim leaders, rights groups and opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi. U.S. State Department spokesman Patrick Ventrell on Tuesday said the U.S. opposes coercive birth limitation policies, and called on Myanmar “to eliminate all such policies without delay.”

The clashes had seemed confined to the Rakhine region, but in late March, similar Buddhist-led violence swept the town of Meikthila in central Myanmar, killing at least 43 people. Earlier this month, a court sentenced seven Muslims from Meikthila to prison terms for their role in the violence.

Several other towns in central Myanmar experienced less deadly violence, mostly involving the torching of Muslim businesses and mosques. Thein Sein’s administration, which came to power in 2011 after half a century of military rule, has been heavily criticized for not doing enough to protect Muslims.

A suspect in the stabbing attack on a French soldier earlier this week was arrested on Wednesday. The suspect was described as an adherent of radical Islam  reports claim the suspect was seen praying before the knife attack.

Al-Arabiya (h/t Kenneth N) The suspected perpetrator of the attack on a soldier Saturday evening in La Defense business district was arrested this morning,” Interior Minister Manuel Valls said in a statement, reported by AFP news agency.

Sources close to the investigation said the 22-year-old man has been a follower of a “traditionalist even radical normative Islam for the last three or four years.”

The French soldier had been patrolling a business neighborhood west of Paris on Saturday when he was stabbed in the neck by a man who quickly fled the scene, President Francois Hollande said.

The attack came days after a British soldier was killed on a London street by two men who said they were acting out of revenge for violence against Muslims.

Australian-born MUSLIM welfare parasite, Milad Bin Ahmad Shah al-Ahmadzai, being investigated for alleged terrorism offenses, threatened to slit the throat of a commonwealth official during a telephone conversation between the two.

The Australian (h/t Kenneth N)  Milad Bin Ahmad Shah al-Ahmadzai was arrested at his home in Sydney’s west on Monday night by officers from the Joint Counter Terrorism Team, which works closely with ASIO and includes staff from the Australian Federal Police.

The unemployed 23-year-old is alleged to have threatened the official – who has not been identified and was described in court as a “ghost” – by saying: “Come near my family again, I’m gonna slit your throat, you pig.” According to court documents, Mr al-Ahmadzai had been under investigation by the Sydney Joint Counter Terrorism Team since December 2009 for “allegedly committing terrorism offences”.

Earlier this month he called a federal government “public contact telephone number and requested a specific . . . officer return his call”, the documents state. During their subsequent conversation, he “did make a threat, to wit ‘I’m gonna crack your neck’,” before making the threat of slitting the officer’s throat. Mr al-Ahmadzai intended that the official “fear that the threat would be carried out.” Following his arrest, the documents show Mr al-Ahmadzai refused to participate in an electronically recorded interview with police, after taking legal advice. He was subsequently charged with using a carriage service to make a threat and threatening to harm a commonwealth public official.

If convicted, Mr al-Ahmadzai could face up to 10 years in prison, the court was told. In refusing bail, magistrate Margaret Quinn said her priority was the protection of the alleged victim and “it looks like a strong case against the defendant”.

Mr al-Ahmadzai, who grew up in Sydney and lives with his pregnant wife, would also face court on Friday for sentencing for his role in an unrelated break-and-enter, the court heard.
