BOWE BERGDAHL CONVERTED TO ISLAM WHILE IN CAPTIVITY

Fox News has an exclusive about the US army soldier ostensibly kidnapped by a gang called Haqqani in Warizistan, but who did some disturbing things while with them:

U.S. Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl at one point during his captivity converted to Islam, fraternized openly with his captors and declared himself a "mujahid," or warrior for Islam, according to secret documents prepared on the basis of a purported eyewitness account and obtained by Fox News.

The reports indicate that Bergdahl's relations with his Haqqani captors morphed over time, from periods of hostility, where he was treated very much like a hostage, to periods where, as one source told Fox News, "he became much more of an accepted fellow" than is popularly understood. He even reportedly was allowed to carry a gun at times.

The documents show that Bergdahl at one point escaped his captors for five days and was kept, upon his re-capture, in a metal cage, like an animal. In addition, the reports detail discussions of prisoner swaps and other attempts at a negotiated resolution to the case that appear to have commenced as early as the fall of 2009.

The reports are rich in on-the-ground detail -- including the names and locations of the Haqqani commanders who ran the 200-man rotation used to guard the Idaho native -- and present the most detailed view yet of what Bergdahl's life over the past five years has been like. These real-time dispatches were generated by the Eclipse Group, a shadowy private firm of former intelligence officers and operatives that has subcontracted with the Defense Department and prominent corporations to deliver granular intelligence on terrorist activities and other security-related topics, often from challenging environments in far-flung corners of the globe. [...]

"As of August 2012," the report continues, "the person with responsibility for Bergdahl's captivity is Sangeen's brother, who has delegated the actual guarding of Bergdahl to Abubakr Asadkhel, a Burra Khel Wazir loyal to Sangeen, and whose sub-tribe lives in Shawal. Abubakr leads approximately 200 armed men from his tribe and operates from five bases (markaz) in Shawal. ... Abubakr's tribe is one of the prosperous branches of the Wazir and owns lots of trucks. Abubakr circulates his prisoner between schools in the area he controls, and his different insurgent bases."

Conditions for Bergdahl have greatly relaxed since the time of the escape. Bergdahl has converted to Islam and now describes himself as a mujahid. Bergdahl enjoys a modicum of freedom, and engages in target practice with the local mujahedeen, firing AK47s. Bergdahl is even allowed to carry a loaded gun on occasion. Bergdahl plays soccer with his guards and bounds around the pitch like a mad man. He appears to be well and happy, and has a noticeable habit of laughing frequently and saying 'Salaam' repeatedly.

Maybe they brainwashed him, but it's still disturbing, and one has to wonder if this is a man we can just ignore with his current mentality.

THE UTTER, COMPLETE AND RIDICULOUS IMBALANCE OF THE BERGDAHL/DETAINEE SWAP MAKES ME WONDER....

THE UTTER, COMPLETE AND RIDICULOUS IMBALANCE OF THE BERGDAHL/DETAINEE SWAP MAKES ME WONDER IF SOMETHING ELSE WAS TRADED THAT WE KNOW NOTHING ABOUT.

IT MAKES ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE TO HAVE TRADED 5 "4-STAR GENERALS" OF THE TALIBAN FOR A BUCK SERGEANT WHO DESERTED - AND DO IT WITHOUT CONSULTING CONGRESS, AND OVER THE OBJECTIONS OF PAST SEC DEFS AND MANY GENERALS.

NO SANE, GOODHEARTED PERSON WOULD MAKE THAT SWAP.

THEREFORE, EITHER OBAMA IS NOT SANE AND NOT GOODHEARTED, OR... SOMETHING ELSE WAS TRADED BESIDES BERGDAHL AND BERGDAHL WAS JUST THE COVER STORY.

MAYBE WE TRADED THEM FOR THE INFO THAT REALLY LEAD TO OSAMA. MAYBE WE TRADED THEM FOR TO WHEREABOUTS OF ZAWAHIRI. MAYBE WE TRADED THEM FOR A NUKE. MAYBE WE TRADED THEM FOR IMPORTANT INTEL ABOUT IRAN'S NUKE PROGRAM.

I DUNNO.

BUT IT WOULD HAVE TO BE SOMETHING MUCH MUCH MUCH BIGGER THAN A BUCK SERGEANT TO GET ME TO RELEASE 5 BIGTIME TALIBAN TERRORISTS.

I MEAN, THERE ARE A FEW HUNDRED DETAINEES IN GITMO. SO WHY COULDN'T OBAMA HAVE TRADED SOME OF THESE FOR THE BUCK SARGENT?

CERTAINLY THE 5 OBAMA GAVE WERE MUCH MORE IMPORTANT TO THE TALIBAN THAN THE SERGEANT WHO DESERTED IS TO US.

I THINK WE NEED A SPECIAL PROSECUTOR OR A SELECT COMMITTEE TO INVESTIGATE THIS AND FIND OUT WHY THIS ILLEGAL DEAL WAS REALLY MADE.

AUSTRIA HAS A LAW PROTECTING ISLAM

One that wasn't clear to me until the Gatestone Institute explained it while reporting how Austria is becoming the Muslim Brotherhood's new European HQ:

The enticement, however, that might really make Austria attractive to the Muslim Brotherhood, is its legislation. In 1912, Emperor Franz Joseph, as a result of the annexation of Bosnia-Herzegovina, as well as an attempt to integrate Bosnian soldiers in Imperial army, issued the so-called Islamgesetz [Law of Islam].

The law provides, among other matters, that:

"The external legal conditions of the adherents of Islam shall be regulated on the basis of an autonomous administration, due consideration being given to state supervision...."

"The doctrines of Islam, its institutions and customs shall enjoy the same protection... unless they are in contradiction to state law."

"A religious community having been established, the creation of charity foundations for religious purposes of Islam shall be permitted."

The law, still in force today, was later extended to the entire Muslim community, both Shi'a and Sunni Muslims; it is considered by many representatives of Islam a model to be imitated. [...]

What is clear is that Austria's Law of Islam of 1912 represents protection for Islamic organizations that no other European country has to offer. The opening of the King Abdullah Bin Abdulaziz International Centre for Interreligious and Intercultural Dialogue [KAICIID] in Vienna in November of 2012, under the auspices of Saudi Arabia, Austria and Spain, was not a random act.

More revealing is what happened to Elisabeth Sabaditsch-Wolff, convicted of "hav[ing] denigrated the teachings of a legally recognized religion," Islam, in Austria in 2011. She was declared guilty of having delivered a lecture during which she allegedly insulted Islam by citing Islamic authors and sources.

Currently, her appeal has been submitted to the European Court of Human Rights in the hope of reversing Austria's judgment.

I hope she can succeed this time. But now we can understand more clearly why she was persecuted. And while the law's primary function is sanctioning Muslim organizations, you can be sure it provides all the protection needed for individual Muslims too, backed by said organizations. This is surely no surprise for a country where nazism had its zygote.

JIHADISTS FROM EUROPE WHO GO TO SYRIA SHOULD BE EXILED

Stephen Brown at Front Page Magazine spoke about the jihad crisis France is now facing as local jihadists who went to Syria and back are posing a threat to the European public:

One of the problems the French legal system faces in prosecuting returned jihadists is that they have not committed a crime on French soil. It is also sometimes difficult to establish whether they actually joined a banned terrorist group when abroad. Some of the accused have said they had left France simply to go on holidays. Le Figaro reports that there are currently 40 cases before the courts regarding French jihadists. Some concern crimes, such as armed robbery, committed by jihadi hopefuls before leaving France to finance their trip to the Syrian battlefields.

Some of the reasons offered for jihad’s attraction for young French Muslims range from poor integration into French society (between 50 and 60 percent of men in French prisons are Muslim, although Muslims make up only ten percent of France’s population), testing the limits of authority of a society that has set few for young people, and the doctrine of Islamic supremacy. The latter is inculcated by radical preachers who do not like non-Islamic societies and do not accept that other religions are equal to Islam. Rather, France and other western countries must become Islamic, by force if necessary.

Because of the large numbers of French Muslims taking part in the Syrian jihad and the resulting danger they represent, many in France are now questioning the meaning of French citizenship. This issue may now become a burning one after Nemmouche’s arrest. [...]

As a result, it has been proposed that French jihadists not be allowed to return to France because of the increasingly visible security risk. Some believe they should not even be prevented from leaving the country, only prevented from returning. This argument was given a boost when four French journalists, kidnapped and held eleven months by ISIL, said after their release last April that some of their captors spoke French. This topic will probably receive greater attention after the Brussel’s tragedy.

I think that's a very good idea. Like I said, those jihadists should be exiled. Unfortunately, as it stands now, the French legal system is unlikely to do anything to modify the laws to enable such a step to be done.

AUSTRALIA ACKNOWLEDGES THAT EAST JERUSALEM IS NOT "OCCUPIED"

Australia's government has set a good example by eschewing political correctness:

The Australian government has stopped using the term "occupied" when referring to east Jerusalem, Australian media outlets reported on Thursday.

In a statement released on Thursday, Australian Attorney-General George Brandis, speaking for Foreign Minister Julie Bishop, said, "Australia supports a peaceful solution to the dispute between Israel and the Palestinian people, which recognizes the right of Israel to exist peacefully within secure borders and also recognizes the aspiration to statehood of the Palestinian people. The description of areas which are subject to negotiations in the course of the peace process by reference to historical events is unhelpful.

"The description of East Jerusalem as 'Occupied East Jerusalem' is a term freighted with pejorative implications which is neither appropriate nor useful. It should not and will not be the practice of the Australian government to describe areas of negotiation in such judgmental language."

This is a very good step they've made, moving away from harmful propaganda tactics and recognizing that it's Jewish land, as it's been for centuries.

6 BRITISH SCHOOLS FACE CLOSURE IN MUSLIM TROJAN HORSE INQUIRY

The UK Mail tells of the results of the investigation into the disturbing plot by Islamofascists to take control of several schools:

Six schools at the centre of an alleged Islamist takeover plot are facing radical reform and even closure after being officially judged as failing, it emerged last night.

A three-month inquiry has found the Birmingham schools did too little to protect children from extremism and female staff were intimidated.

[...] It found the school’s ‘policies have been given scant consideration’ and its ‘equalities policy is not fit for purpose’. It adds that ‘understanding of other religions is scant’ and Religious Education classes focus primarily on Islam.

[...] The shocking claims – which emerged in March – were that a ‘five-step’ strategy had been drawn up by hardliners intent on ‘Islamising’ schools by ousting unsympathetic teachers and governors.

The allegations included claims that pupils were illegally segregated, with girls forced to sit at the back and side of classes, along with suggestions that radical preachers were invited to speak to children.

Lurid in the extreme. These schools did not rate high in educational accomplishments either. I suppose they will have to be closed, and undergo considerable reorganization and replacements. But knowing what that country's like, they could open replacement schools and fail yet again.

HOW THE MSM DISTORTS ISLAMOFASCISM'S RECORD

Phyllis Chesler gives some examples of how the mainstream press does everything it can to obscure Islamofascism's guilt in its own crimes.

PLO FORMS UNITY GOVERNMENT WITH HAMAS

Against Israel's wishes and in a full show of his true colors, Mahmoud Abbas has set up a unity government with Hamas. But there's two different reactions being reported:

Israel says it will shun the new government because it is backed by Hamas, which is seen by the West as a terror group because it killed hundreds of Israelis in attacks over the years. Abbas says his new Cabinet has accepted three conditions set out in the past by the U.S. and Europe for dealing with any Palestinian government — recognizing Israel, renouncing violence and adhering to previous agreements.

The Obama administration said Monday it intends to work with the new Palestinian government and will continue sending aid. Secretary of State John Kerry called Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to relay the U.S. position.

The European Union has said it welcomes unity and will maintain support for a government that meets the three conditions.

No surprise the latter two would maintain such limp positions, and take taqqiya at complete face value.

I COULD MAYBE SEE A TRADE LIKE THIS IF PETRAEUS HAD BEEN THE CAPTIVE, BUT FOR A DESERTER!?!?!?

IF ILLEGALLY RELEASING FIVE OF GITMO'S WORST FOR A DESERTER IS NOT IMPEACHABLE, THEN WHAT IS, GOSHDARNIT?

OBAMA, BERGDAHL, HAMAS/"UNITY" GOVERNMENT, BENGHAZI, OBAMACARE, THE IRS SCANDAL, FAST & FURIOUS, LIBYA AND MUBARAK

THERE'S A PATTERN HERE FOLKS:

• OBAMA ILLEGALLY TRADED 5 OF THE WORST TALIBAN SCUM HELD IN GITMO FOR A DESERTER.

• OBAMA IMMEDIATELY RECOGNIZED THE "UNITY" GOVERNMENT OF FATAH AND HAMAS DESPITE THE LEGAL FACT THAT HAMAS IS - ACCORDING TO THE US GOVERNMENT - A TERRORIST ORGANIZATION WHICH CANNOT BE LEGALLY SUPPORTED BY THE USG.

• OBAMA REFUSED TO ADEQUATELY SECURE THE BENGHAZI BUILDING USED BY AMBASSADOR CHRIS STEVENS AND THEN DID NOT SEND HIM AND HIS THREE AIDES ANY MILITARY ASSISTANCE WHEN THEY WERE UNDER ATTACK.

• OBAMA REPEATEDLY LIED TO THE AMERICAN PUBLIC ABOUT THE FUNDAMENTAL STRUCTURE OF OBAMACARE WHEN HE TOLD US, "IF YOU LIKE YOUR HEALTHCARE, THEN YOU VAN KEEP YOUR HEALTHCARE. PERIOD."

• OBAMA AT FIRST CALLED THE IRS TARGETING OF TEA PARTY ORGANIZATIONS "AN OUTRAGE", BUT HAS SINCE SAID THERE WAS NOT EVEN A SMIDGEN OF CORRUPTION AS A CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTOR AT HIS DEPART OF JUSTICE DRAGS HER FEET.

• OBAMA LIED ABOUT FAST & FURIOUS.

• OBAMA WAGED AN ILLEGAL WAR AGAINST KADDAFY AND LIBYA AT A TIME WHEN KADDAFY WAS COOPERATING IN OUR WAR AGAINST GLOBAL JIHADISTS.

• OBAMA - RIGHT AFTER HIS INAUGURATION IN 2009 -  IMMEDIATELY BEGAN TO UNDERMINE OUR BEST ALLY IN THE ARAB AND MUSLIM WORLD, MUBARAK, AND SUPPORTING THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD.

IN SUMMARY:

OBAMA IS A LAWLESS MAN WHO HAS CONSISTENTLY AIDED THE ENEMIES OF LIBERTY AND THE USA.

WE MUST IMPEACH THIS BASTARD!

MERIAM IBRAHIM STILL IN DANGER OF DEATH SENTENCE IN SUDAN

The Sudanese mother threatened with death by Sudan's mock legal system is still facing the sword:

Sudan said the release of a Sudanese mother, whose death sentence for refusing to recant her Christian faith sparked global criticism, depends on the outcome of her legal appeal.

Meriam Yehya Ibrahim, 27, will only be freed if the court overturns its apostasy verdict, Sudan’s Foreign Ministry said yesterday in a statement published by Suna, the state-run news agency. It said an undersecretary at the ministry cited by media as saying Ibrahim would be freed within days was quoted out of context.

Or maybe it was taqqiya at work? Clearly, the danger isn't over, and her supporters still have to work hard to get her freed for real.

Did Obama Use His Memorial Day Visit To Afghanistan To Personally Negotiate With The Taliban?

President Obama, who paid a surprise visit to Afghanistan on Sunday, was snubbed by Afghan President Hamid Karzai when he turned down an invitation to meet with the President at Bagram Air Base outside Kabul

Obama's "surprise" Memorial Day '14 visit with our American troops in Afghanistan turned out to be one hell of a ruse! That traitor was likely negotiating the trade personally with the very terrorists our troops face every day! Undermining our troops right under their very noses! 

SOMETHING ABOUT ERIC SHINSEKI

General Shinseki

I do not wish to malign Eric Shinseki.

He served with honor on the battlefield, sustained severe wounds, and eventually attained the rank of four star general.

However, I think that something needs to be brought to light.

From this source (All other sources were scrubbed between 7:00 A.M., May 30, 2014, and 7:00 A.M., May 31, 2014!):

View PostSharkhaywood, on 29 May 2014 - 02:32 PM, said:

The guy has been on the job for 5 years now so it's not like he is brand new to the position. I browsed the guy's Wiki page and he is a very decorated soldier. However, he doesn't have any medical background. It would seem to me that a person with some kind of medical background would be best suited to run the VA. It did also show the following:

Forgotten by many is the fact that much of the problems with infrastructure deterioration and neglect at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center, as well as the lack of funding for repairs, occurred initially during Shinseki's tenure as the 34th Army Chief of Staff.

Whistleblowers to the problems were summarily squashed and funding for improvements were routinely and regularly denied. For instance, the problems associated with Building 18 were not new to the Walter Reed Army Medical Center community. As early as 1999 the extensive problems with Building 18 were identified to senior level leadership, and funding for renovations and improvements were denied. Prior to its role housing wounded warriors, Building 18 had long served as the barracks of WRAMC Student Company. Between 1999 and 2001, under the Command of then Captain Michael D. Dake, the Student Company leadership identified the deplorable conditions in and around Building 18 to two Medical Center Brigade Commanders (COL Terry D. Carroll, and COL Larry S. Bolton respectively). By 2002, the requests for funding to improve conditions in and around Building 18 had made it to the attention of Major General Kevin C. Kiley. Kiley, who toured the facility as part of his Commander's in-brief after arriving in June, personally inspected the facility and spoke to the Soldiers and the Leadership. He then also denied funding for improvements. By 2004, renovation of Building 18 had been anticipated in connection with the enhanced use lease of Building 40, but since the post was slated for closure under BRAC in 2005, the anticipated in-kind services by the Building 40 developer did not materialize.

Funding for repairs at Walter Reed never did materialize during Shinseki's tenure as Army Chief of Staff; despite the fact Shinseki's directive to develop and wear the new Black Beret for all service members resulted in such enormous waste that, in one case with a cancelled manufacturing contract with a Chinese national firm, as much as $37.9 million U.S. dollars was lost to contracting errors, unlawful foreign sourcing and import law violations.

I am not suggesting that Eric Shinseki is a corrupt man or a corrupt leader.

What I am suggesting is this: Shinseki was the wrong man to appoint as the Secretary of Veterans Affairs.  He already had a history as a poor manager of allocated funds.

SYRIAN JIHADIST COMMITTED MURDERS AT BELGIAN JEWISH MUSEUM

It turns out the gunman who murdered 4 people in Belgium was a jihadist living in France who'd been active in Syria:

A French former jihadist volunteer in Syria has been arrested over last week’s deadly shooting at the Jewish Museum in Brussels.

Police found a Kalashnikov rifle and a handgun similar to the ones used in the attack in the bag of Mehdi Nemmouche, a 29-year-old French citizen, when he stepped off a bus in Marseille on Friday after an overnight trip from Brussels.

Investigators also found a memory stick containing a video in which a person claims to have carried out the attack, displays weapons similar to those used and unfurls a sheet of cloth with the words Islamic State of Iraq and Syria written on it, the Paris prosecutor said.

Why do they say he's a "former" jihadist? He still is, only this time, he's taken his obscene trade back to Europe.

Paris prosecutor Frederic Molins said Mr Nemmouche had served five jail sentences since 2004, including one for armed robbery.

"During his last stay in jail he was noticed for extremist [Islamic] proselytism," he said.

He was released in December 2012 and three weeks later went to Syria for a year, returning to Europe via Malaysia, Singapore and Bangkok, he said.

So here's another jihadist whom the authorities colossally failed to deal with properly. Otherwise, it's possible that the tragedy could've been averted. The question now is whether they're going to start keeping filth like him in custody, and even exile them if it helps. If they can't or won't, then they've failed their duties.

TALIBAN PRISONER SWAP - KEY TO BENGHAZI?

In violation of an explicit law that required the notification of Congress, the Soetoro administration has exchanged 5 top-level Taliban commanders for Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl:

There are good reasons why the Taliban has long wanted the five freed from Gitmo. All five are among the Taliban’s top commanders in U.S. custody and are still revered in jihadist circles. 

Two of the five have been wanted by the UN for war crimes. And because of their prowess, Joint Task Force-Guantanamo (JTF-GTMO) deemed all five of them “high” risks to the U.S. and its allies.  

This action is reminiscent of the theory that the administration had planned for Ambassador Chris Stevens to be kidnapped by Al Qaeda, not killed, so that Barry would be enabled to free the Blind Sheikh in exchange for him.  Terrorists at the scene were quoted as saying that they were working for Morsi, so it is likely that the deal had been worked out with the Muslim Brotherhood beforehand.  The unexpected involvement of CIA operatives derailed that plan.  This time, there was no one to interfere, and Barry was able to succeed in replenishing the Taliban's combat leadership.

Seriously, whose side is he on?

UNCLEAR IF SUDANESE APOSTATE MOTHER WILL BE FREED

The Vancouver Sun reported that the mother who converted to Christianity may be freed, but it hasn't happened yet:

Sudan appeared to be bowing to international pressure to free a woman sentenced to death for apostasy. A foreign ministry spokesman said that Meriam Ibrahim would be released and not face further charges.

But lawyers for 27-year-old Ibrahim expressed skepticism that she would be freed so quickly.

“It’s a statement to silence the international media,” said Al-Shareef Ali al-Shareef Mohammed. “This is what the government does. We will not believe that she is being freed until she walks out of the prison. … But at least it shows our campaign to free Meriam is rattling them. We must keep up the pressure.”

The government in Khartoum, the Sudanese capital, has come under increasing pressure to free Ibrahim since she was sentenced on May 15 to hang for refusing to recant her Christianity. In Sudan, abandoning Islam is a crime punishable by death.

The lawyer is right. An announcement alone will not convince, only an actual release from prison will. And opponents of the death sentence in Sudan also have to demand they abandon all such practices too.
