BRITISH HAREDI SECURITY FORCE TO PROTECT MOSQUES

I think we've really got a case here of "Haredhimmitude" if there ever was one:

The “Shomrim” Haredi police uniformed police force in London has offered to protect mosques in the Hackney district following violent attacks on local mosques, the British edition of Huffington Post reported.

The Shomrim regularly patrol the heavily Jewish populated area of Stamford Hills and often detain suspects until police arrive. The group’s origins are in New York, where the Shomrim organized after being tired of long response times of the local men in blue.

Muslim leaders met with Shomrim officials in a London area mosque to discuss mutual cooperation, promoted by Hackney councilor Ian Sharer, an orthodox Jew who helped found the Muslim-Jewish forum.

"In our ward, the three councilors are two Haredi Jews, and one religious Muslim. We have been friends for many years, and we get on every well,” he told Huffington. “This is a very serious situation, and so I thought, why not call my friends from Shomrim?”

The Muslims welcomed the offer and now have the Shomrim phone number to call if there is trouble.

Recent Muslim attacks have included arson on a community center and a homemade explosive device that was found at a mosque.

I wonder if these are Satmar making the offer? And where were they when Lee Rigby was violently murdered by those two repugnant jihadists in London? As Israel Matzav says, this is shameful, although a commentor from the UK Jewish Defense League says that these aren't the official Shomrim, but appear to be a breakaway group using a similar name. Even so, this is a very embarrassing situation when Jewish groups support enemies who won't genuinely thank them.

NIDAL HASAN REFUSED TO ENTER A PLEA

So the judge in the case of the murderer at Fort Hood entered one for him:

A military judge entered a not-guilty plea Tuesday for Ft. Hood massacre suspect Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, who is accused of the worst mass shooting ever at a U.S. military base.

The Army psychiatrist, who is acting as his own attorney, had refused to enter a plea after the judge rejected his earlier attempts to plead guilty. Military law does not allow a guilty plea in a death penalty case.

In a pretrial hearing, the judge, Col. Tara Osborn, also denied Hasan's request for more time to decide whether to hire a new attorney. Hasan, 42, had asked for three more days to talk to Ramsey Clark, who served as U.S. attorney general under President Johnson, about an offer to serve as his defense lawyer, the Associated Press reported.

Osborn told Hasan he could hire a new lawyer only if he or she was ready for trial by July 9, when jury selection begins. She has also told Hasan’s former attorneys to stand by to help him if he asks for it.

Hasan, an American-born Muslim, contends he acted to defend the Taliban. He is charged with 13 counts of premeditated murder and 32 counts of attempted premeditated murder in the Nov. 5, 2009, shootings at the Texas Army post.

If convicted, he faces the death penalty or life without parole.

The trial is scheduled to start in August.

Hasan must be sent to the chair for his violent crime. Otherwise, it'll be a sign something is wrong with the justice system. And the judge was right not to give him more time to find another attorney, since he'd probably only use that time as another stalling tactic.

MUSIC FOR INDEPENDENCE DAY

Our Founders and others living during the first days of our republic would have been familiar with these tunes:

MERS claims 3rd life in London stoking pandemic fears

Middle East virus claims third life as fears of pandemic spread:

"...The virus effectively turns your lungs to jelly..."

...The majority of the cases have been in Saudi Arabia, or in patients who have recently travelled to the region.

But with the annual Hajj pilgrimage due in October, and an estimated three million people travelling to Mecca, concerns are mounting that the deadly virus could spread swiftly.

"We need to get the facts clear and get the appropriate advice to all your countries where your pilgrims want to go to Mecca," said Margaret Chan, head of the World Health Organisation, in May. "It is something quite urgent."

EGYPTIAN ARMY OUSTS MORSI

Here comes the good news in the opposition to Mohammed Morsi: the army gave him the boot:

Mr Morsi, who had earlier refused to quit, was told at 7pm on Wednesday evening that he was no longer president as Egypt's military seized control in a dramatic coup.

More from the AFP:

The Egyptian army toppled Islamist President Mohamed Morsi on Wednesday after a week of bloodshed that killed nearly 50 people as millions took to the streets to demand an end to his turbulent single year of rule.

The announcement, made on state television by Morsi's own defence minister, armed forces chief General Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, drew a rapturous welcome from the protesters who have camped out on the streets of Cairo for days.

Sisi also announced a freezing of the Islamist-drafted constitution and early presidential elections.

But will this lead to a replacement who's not an Islamist? The trouble is that even Morsi's successor is bound to be no different from him, and a Copt is unlikely to be allowed to run for the presidential position there. The freeze of the alleged constitution written by Muslims is good news. But even then, there's no telling if any constitution to follow will be an improvement.

Update: and Power Line points to some disturbing signs that elements of the opposition to Morsi are also anti-Israelists.

RELIAPUNDIT ADDS:

IMHO: This proves that Obama's decision to help the Muslim Brotherhood and oust Mubarak was an idiotic waste which hurt us and our allies and Egypt. 

I think Obama supports the Erdogan/AKP form of islamism: a gradualist approach - one that uses democracy as a means of taking and consolidating power. Erdogan said that "democracy is a train and you get off at your destination". Obama hoped the Egyptian MB would be like the Turkish AKP. Obama hopes the same for Syria and Libya and Afghanistan and Iraq. And the so-called "West Bank" and Gaza. 

I oppose this policy because the "destination" is a bad and evil and anti-libertarian one; it is a totalitarian state, a tyranny - one intrinsically opposed to the West. 

It's good to remember now that Nasser - Egypt's first military dictator - opposed the MB:

EGYPT WILL NOT PROGRESS FROM TYRANNY TO DEMOCRACY UNTIL THE MB AND ITS IDEOLOGY ARE DISCREDITED AND SNEERED AT AND LAUGHED AT - AS THEY WERE IN THE ABOVE VIDEO - BY THE VAST MAJORITY OF EGYPTIANS AND ARABS AND MUSLIMS.

TEXAS CHILDREN'S CHOIR SINGING OUR NATIONAL ANTHEM

MORE RAPES TAKE PLACE IN TAHRIR SQUARE

As the demonstrations in Egypt resume once again, more reports of rapes have surfaced. One of the most recent victims was a Dutch woman:

A journalist from the Netherlands has been raped by a group of men while covering the uprisings in Cairo's Tahrir Square, the same location where CBS News chief foreign correspondent Lara Logan was sexually assaulted and beaten by protesters in 2011, shortly after the fall of President Hosni Mubarak.

The attack was confirmed by the Dutch embassy in Cairo, who issued a statement [3] reading, "A Dutch woman of 22 was attacked in Tahrir Square on Friday evening. The Netherlands Embassy has assisted the victim, and after receiving emergency treatment in a Cairo hospital she was repatriated to the Netherlands in the company of family. The victim has cooperated with an investigation started by the Egyptian authorities. In the interest of the privacy of the victim, no further information will be given."

The chaotic moments leading up to the attack were reportedly captured in a video currently posted online [warning: graphic content [4]], in which a blond woman is seen being overpowered by a swarm of male protesters. Millions had gathered in the public space to demand the removal of Mohamed Morsi as Egypt's president.

News of the violent sexual assault that followed was first reported by Dina Zakaria, a journalist for Egypt 25 news channel. Writing on her Facebook page, Zakaria said [5] that the woman "was raped by men who dub themselves revolutionists" and that her "condition is severe and she is hospitalized."

It gets worse:

"Mobs sexually assaulted and in some cases raped at least 91 women in Tahrir Square ... amid a climate of impunity," HRW, which is based in New York, said in a statement.

It cited figures from the Egyptian Operation Anti-Sexual Harassment/Assault, which runs a hotline for victims of sexual assault, showing that there were 46 such attacks against women on Sunday, 17 on Monday and 23 on Tuesday. [...]

Several women required surgical intervention after the attacks, some were "beaten with metal chains, sticks, and chairs, and attacked with knives," HRW said.

The government response has been to "downplay the extent of the problem or to seek to address it through legislative reform alone," whereas what is needed is for attackers to be brought to justice, HRW said.

They're not even trying to address it through legislation, because sharia puts the kibosh on even that. If these were anti-Morsi protestors who committed the obscene crimes, then it's hard to sympathise with any who would dare to assault women, making them no better than Morsi's own army of darkness. This is basically a case of Islam vs. Islam, with neither side knowing what they really want. And if they can only think of raping women who join the protest movement, then they may have made their beds in terms of freedom, because they wouldn't respect that of the fairer sex.

TODAY MARKS THE 150TH ANNIVERSARY OF OUR VICTORY AT GETTYSBURG

MICHAEL SHAARA/KILLER ANGELS:

The light rain went on falling on the hills above Gettysburg, but it was only the overture to the great storm to come. Out of the black night it came at last, cold and wild and flooded with lightning. The true rain came in a monster wind, and the storm broke in blackness over the hills and the bloody valley; the sky opened along the ridge and the vast water thundered down, drowning the fires, flooding the red creeks, washing the rocks and the grass and the white bones of the dead, cleansing the earth and soaking it thick and rich with water and wet again with clean cold rainwater, driving the blood deep into the earth, to grow again with the roots toward Heaven. It rained all that night.

The next day was Saturday, the Fourth of July.
THE END

LINCOLN:

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. 

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure.  

We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live.  

It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. 

But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate, we can not consecrate, we can not hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract.  

The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here.  

It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

TWO ISLAMISTS ARRESTED IN CANADA FOR BOMB PLOT

Two people have been arrested in British Columbia accused of plotting to plant a bomb outside the provincial legislature on Canada Day, police say. John Stewart Nuttall and Amanda Marie Korody were self-radicalised and inspired by al-Qaeda, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police said. The two Canadians from Surrey, British Columbia, were arrested on Monday, which was Canada's national day. They are not believed to have been in contact with other militant groups. 

"Our investigation demonstrated that this was a domestic threat, without international linkages," said Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) Assistant Commissioner James Malizia.

THE ATTACKERS WERE NOT MOTIVATED OR INSPIRED BY A NATION-STATE - OR BY DIRECT CONTROL OF ANY "MILITANT" GROUP, BUT BY THEIR FAITH.... IN ISLAM.

ISLAMISM IS THE ENEMY.

IT MATTERS NOT IF THE PERP IS AQ OR MD OR ANSAR THIS OR TAHRIR THAT OR ANYTHING ELSE AS ALL THOSE GROUPS ARE SUBORDINATE TO ISLAMISM.

ISLAMISM IS A GLOBAL ENEMY AND A GLOBAL THREAT.

TREATING THESE ATTACKS AS ISOLATED INSTANCES CARRIED OUT BY ISOLATED CELLS MISSES THE POINT AND WEAKENS US.

WE NEED TO FOCUS OUR COUNTER-ATTACKS ON THE ACTUAL ENEMIES - THOSE WHO TRAIN AND FUND THE PERPS VIA RADIAL MOSQUES AND RADICAL MADRASSAS AND NOT JUST THE TERROR CAMPS AND THAT MEANS: SAUDI ARABIA AND PAKISTAN AND IRAN.

AND WE NEED TO ISOLATE AND QUARANTINE ALL ISLAMIST NATIONS - LIKE SAUDI ARABIA AND TURKEY AND NOW EGYPT.

WE NEED TO DO THIS BECAUSE TIME IS ON THEIR SIDE:

THEY WILL WIN A LONG DRAWN OUT ASYMMETRICAL WAR BY MAKING US GO BROKE, AND BY DEMOGRAPHICS, AND WITH THE AID OF THEIR FIFTH COLUMN, THE LEFT.

ONE POLICY COULD SOLVE OUR SYRIAN SITUATION, AND CONTAIN IRAQ'S AND TURKEY'S BURGEONING ISLAMISM: SUPPORT AN INDEPENDENT KURDISTAN!

HITCHENS:

MORE:

MORE:

WE SHOULD NOT BE SUPPORTING SO-CALLED "SYRIAN REBELS".

WE SHOULD SUPPORT THE KURDS.

IN COORDINATION WITH THE IRAQI KURDS, WE SHOULD ANNOUNCE OUR RECOGNITION OF AN INDEPENDENT KURDISH NATION MADE UP OF KURDISH LANDS IN SYRIA, IRAQ, IRAN AND TURKEY, AND WE SHOULD DEMAND THE UN RECOGNIZE THIS INDEPENDENT KURDISH STATE.

UNLIKE THE SO-CALLED "PALESTINIANS" - WHO ARE JUST ARABS, WHO SPEAK ARABIC AND HAVE NO INDEPENDENT CULTURE APART FROM THEIR U.N./ARAB-ENFORCED REFUGEE STATUS - THE KURDS ARE A REAL PEOPLE WITH THEIR OWN LANGUAGE AND CULTURE AND HISTORY.

THE KURDS DESERVE A STATE - AND THEIR SELF-RULING REGION WITHIN IRAQ IS A SUCCESS WHICH SHOULD BE REWARDED AND EXPANDED.

AN INDEPENDENT KURDISTAN WOULD REWARD ONE OF OUR MOST RELIABLE ALLIES IN THE REGION, AND IT WOULD HURT OUR ENEMIES AND ISLAMISTS AND ISLAMISM.

IT'S A SLAM DUNK.

TOO BAD OBAMA AND THE ARABISTS RUNNING THE STATE DEPARTMENT ARE A MIX OF PRO-ISLAMIST, ANTI-ZIONIST COWARDLY APPEASERS.

THIS BOLD MOVE WOULD REQUIRE MORE COURAGE AND A GREATER COMMITMENT TO PRINCIPLES THAN THOSE FOLKS HAVE.

OMFG: OBAMA DELAYS OBAMACARE BY A YEAR!

NYTIMES: Obama Administration to Delay Health Law Requirement Until 2015 

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration announced on Tuesday that it would delay for a year, until 2015, the Affordable Care Act mandate that employers provide coverage for their workers or pay penalties, responding to business complaints and postponing the effective date beyond next year’s midterm elections.

IF OBAMACARE WAS A GOOD PROGRAM, THEN THEY WOULD NOT DELAY IT AND THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN NO WAIVERS.

THIS DELAY IS AN ADMISSION THAT OBAMACARE IS A DISASTER.

TOO BAD FOR THE NATION, THE DELAY WON'T HELP.

ONLY A REPEAL WILL SAVE US ROM THE IMPENDING DEBACLE.

IT'S TIME TO TOSS THE OSLO ACCORDS IN THE TRASH BIN

Ron Lipsman is right, it's time for it to be scrapped:

Events since the infamous handshake on the White House Lawn (between Arafat and Rabin) have demonstrated conclusively that an Israeli withdrawal from Judea and Samaria (the biblical names for the West Bank area) would indeed represent an enormous, and likely irreversible, step toward the Arab-envisioned final solution to the Arab-Israel conflict -- namely, the destruction of the Jewish State. The Israeli withdrawals from Lebanon and Gaza have resulted in enhanced Arab aggression and intransigence and provide an unmistakable model for the horror that would rain down on Israel should Fatah/Hamas take control of Judea and Samaria.

Despite the self-evidence of this assessment, Israeli leaders continue to pursue the chimera of a "two-state solution." Several (but especially Barak and Olmert) have offered the Palestinian Arabs virtually all that they might have expected under the Oslo accords. But in their blind hatred for the Jewish State, in their revealing lack of interest in setting up a new state of their own, and in their undying expectation that the Jewish state cannot hold out indefinitely, they have spurned the offers and continued to pine for the great Götterdämmerung that they expect must inevitably occur.

It is time for Israeli leaders -- indeed, for the whole nation -- to recognize the futility of Oslo, declare it a dead letter, and pursue a completely different path. It is time for Israelis to recognize reality, stop acting like they lost all the wars that they have won, and initiate a new strategy.

And the problem is that it could all take an epoch to do.
