Maldives police stop Christmas celebrations for expats at a cafe after complaints by those 'offended'. Protest also held. Islamists points out that constitution bans non-Muslim celebrations where Muslims live

From Minivan Daily

[Jade Bistro cafe on Boduthakurufaanu Magu has “apologized” to anyone who may have been “offended” by Christmas decorations and “festive” lunch promotion at the cafe, aimed at expats in the country.

Police stopped the promotion after complaints were lodged. Opponents also later held a protest.]

[leader of Adhaalath Party [also a religious group], Sheikh Hussein Rasheed, said] ‘’It really does not matter whether it is allowed in Islam for non-Muslims to celebrate their religious days, because it is prohibited in the constitution of the Maldives.’’

IFM [Islamic Foundation of the Maldives] President Ibrahim Fauzy added that it was prohibited in Islam to allow non-Muslims celebrate their holidays in places where Muslims live. ‘’It is unconstitutional and prohibited by many laws at the same time,’’ said Fauzy.

Comments: Where are all those Human terrorist rights organizations now?

'Moderate' Muslims should also go and tell these Muslims in the Maldives about 'true' Islam. It appears that they 'misunderstood' or have 'wrong views' of Islam. These Muslims believe in an 'Islamophobic' Islam.

The real reason these Muslims want to ban Christmas and just about anything that's not Islamic is because they are scared that Muslims might leave Islam and convert to Christianity.

And as usual, there will be a double-standards when it comes to them, and they will insist on being allowed to promote Islam to non-Muslims and will try to convert.

200 Shiite Muslims arrested in Malaysia during Ashur celebration. Shiite Islam is illegal and considered a threat to national security allegedly for allowing the killing of non-Shiite 'Infidel' Muslims

From IHRC (The self-styled 'Islamic Human Rights Commission')

During the Ashura commemoration event on 16th December 2010, JAIS (state religious authority in Malaysia) raided the Hauzah ar-Redah in Gombak, State of Selangor and arrested 200 people including the local Aalim(cleric) as well as the visiting aalim(cleric/speaker) from Iran.

Today, the Malay newspapers in Malaysia carried this story on their front pages in terms of a shia threat and language reminiscent of a culture of demonization of shias within Malaysia.


From AP

More than 200 Muslim Shiites—including Iranians, Indonesians and Pakistanis—were detained in one of the biggest swoops on outlawed Muslim sects in Malaysia and may be charged with breaching Islamic laws, an official said Monday.

Government authorities in Muslim-majority Malaysia consider only the Sunni denomination to be legal.

Islamic officials raided a shop house in the Gombak district in central Selangor state last week and arrested the group,

It was the largest swoop of outlawed groups in recent months, the department director, Muhammad Khusrin Munawi, told state media. He said the Shia doctrine is a threat to national security because it permits the killing of Muslims from other sects who are regarded as infidels.

The arrests of the Shia followers have been slammed by some religious scholars, who accused Islamic authorities of becoming more hard-lined.


From AFP,

Shiite community leader Kamil Zuhairi Abdul Aziz told AFP the group had submitted a protest letter to the national human rights commission (Suhakam) after a recent raid of their prayer hall by state religious officers.

Kamil Zuhairi said there were about 40,000 Shiite followers in Malaysia but most practised their faith behind closed doors for fear of being stigmatised and targeted by the authorities.

Shiites make up around 15 percent of Muslims worldwide. They represent the majority populations in Iraq, Iran and Bahrain and form significant communities in Afghanistan, Lebanon, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia.

Shiites believe the Prophet Mohammed should have been succeeded by his cousin Ali rather than his companion Abu Bakr. Traditional Sunnis believe any suggestion that Abu Bakr was a usurper is tantamount to blasphemy.

Comments: Well, at least Muslims are fighting among themselves.

They are either fighting among themselves or fighting non-Muslims.

The self-styled 'Islamic Human Rights Commission', based in the UK,said on its website the following.

Typical Muslim victim-card organization. Looks like a human rights fraud organization trying to undermine anti-terror efforts while ignoring Islamic extremism and terror.

Genocide in Darfur continuing with “silent” rape and fear says UN prosecutor Ocampo – 300,000 dead and 2.7 million displaced in seven years

From the UN News Centre (1)

International Criminal Court (ICC) prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo told the U.N. Security Council

Genocide is still continuing in Darfur and Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir, already indicted by the International Criminal Court (ICC), is undertaking “enormous efforts” to cover up the crimes and manipulate the world community

in just the last six months, hundreds of civilians in the Darfur region were killed and hundreds of thousands forcibly displaced, while more than 2 million people suffer a subtle form of genocide – genocide by rape and fear.

“President al-Bashir, in accordance with the chamber’s findings, issued the criminal orders to attack civilians and destroy their communities. Logically, President al-Bashir does not want to investigate those who are following his orders. President al-Bashir is using his promises of justice to manipulate the international community and cover up the crimes.”

The ICC in July issued a second arrest warrant for Mr. al-Bashir, adding genocide to the list of charges for crimes he has allegedly committed in war-ravaged Darfur. In March 2009, he became the first sitting head of State to be indicted by the Court, which charged him with two counts of war crimes and five counts of crimes against humanity.

Speaking to reporters following his briefing to the Council, Mr. Moreno-Ocampo called rape and fear the “silent weapons” of genocide that slip below the radar of peacekeeping forces in the region, which has been plagued by atrocities since war erupted in 2003 between the Government, supported by the Janjaweed militia, and rebels seeking greater autonomy.

From Reuters

Western powers have raised new concerns in recent months about the Darfur conflict where the UN says at least 300,000 people have died since rebel groups took up arms against Bashir's Arab-dominated government in 2003.

"The situation in Darfur is not just a humanitarian crisis, it is a systematic attack against the civilian population. The situation in Darfur is a genocide, it is an ongoing genocide," Ocampo said.

From the UN News Centre (2)

At least 300,000 people have been killed and 2.7 million driven from their homes as a result of the fighting that has ravaged Darfur over the past seven years.

Comments: They are real good at stacking up huge number of kills.

Atheist soviet communist uncle Joe [Joseph Stalin], who said

One death is a tragedy; one million is a statistic.

and who himself stacked up around 20 million, would be impressed.

The conflict in Darfur, although not mentioned in either the UN or Reuters reports, is between Muslims, unlike the conflict in southern Sudan, that killed at least 2 million, which is between Christian and Animist Black south, and Muslim Arab north.

But there arguably might be some element of race involved in Darfur as well with mainly Blacks from Darfur fighting the Arab government due to neglect and bad governance, although this division is not completely true.

And as usual bleeding hearts for the hypersensitive ego and feelings of Islamic extremists, terrorists and people who don't want to admit the truth, won't worry about this too much.

They are too busy looking for even better ways to massage those egos, by censoring facts and criticism by labeling them 'hate' 'Islamophobic' and all sorts of 'hate-labels' to demonize them without giving any rational arguments, that they overlook even staggering number of deaths, while demonizing even minor flaws and mistakes on the part of those who criticize and point out the truth.

A quote to describe them would be

One [Muslim] death [at the hands of non-Muslims or TRUE moderate Muslims] is a tragedy; one million [non-Muslim deaths or Muslim deaths at the hands of other Muslims] is a statistic.

UK to lessen some anti-terror laws, reviewing others

 UK is set to reduce pre-charge detention of terror suspects from 28 days to 14.

 Ed Balls, the Labour party's shadow secretary, said they got the balance on civil liberties wrong when they were in power by trying to increase the length of detention to 90 and then 42 days. He said they suffered damage to their reputation as a result. 

 But he added that "it was really hard. We had these massive terror threats, we had the plots" and they "acted and got the resources in and updated our legislation."

 Control orders introduced in 2005 that place terror suspects under close supervision are also under review over complaints that it was too harsh.

Comment: Some people still have not woken up the new reality of Islamic terror. This is an age of Terror. Laws and measures should be there before they are needed and not made as a knee-jerk reaction in the aftermath of some terrorist atrocity.

 Concerns about civil liberties could be addressed by clearly restricting these forceful measures to the fight against terrorism and not used in other areas. This way the rest of the population unconnected to terror can remain untouched by them.

 As Pakistan's Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi said, terrorists "offers no quarter, obeys no law and holds nothing sacred." They kill and main innocent civilians deliberately, and yet some people are more concerned about their 'rights' than the life of their victims.

 There is also a need to watch out for terrorists and their supporters pretending to be 'Human-yeah-Right' activists to infiltrate the system and work from the inside, as it was in the case of Arab-Israeli human rights activist Amir Makhoul who has pleaded guilty to spying for enemy of Israel.

  Currently the British police may stop and search, or

target suspects only on the basis of 'reasonable suspicion' they are involved in or plotting a crime.

They could not target specific groups - such as focusing on Muslims in the event of an apparent threat from Islamic extremists.

 But changes were proposed which says

while officers 'must take particular care' not to discriminate - there 'may be circumstances where it is appropriate for officers to take account of an individual's ethnic origin in selecting persons and vehicles to be stopped'.

Officers would have had to be responding to some form of intelligence, but not specific to the person involved.

 This proposal was dropped over claims that it would be discriminatory and amounts to racial profiling, and fears of abuse and breaking EU and UK laws.

Comment: It is ridiculous that Muslims can not be targeted in an event of a terrorism threat coming from within their community. This is not just with Muslims. If there was a threat from Christians then they too should be targeted as well.

 The issue of race or ethnicity, and religion also needs to be separated. Islam is neither a race nor an ethnicity. Terrorists come from all races and other backgrounds.

 Profiling also need not be based solely on race as Brigitte Gabriel argued, citing it's use in Israel. 

 And non-Muslims, such as Juan Williams, who is Black and has written books on the civil rights movement in the U.S., recognized this, and paid for it by being sacked from NPR by the PC censors.

 The PC elites appear not to want to name the Islamic threat and so are deliberately confusing it with race, to the advantage of terror supporters using the race card.

 Watch this space. When the next terrorist atrocity happens, they may regret it, or not, and say it shows the need to be even more PC, like the Dodos.

Comment: Why weren't the pirates punished? Where is the law? Too busy protecting the 'rights' of criminals and terrorists obviously. Millions of dollars are wasted on naval patrols against the pirates when it could have been used instead on those in need or suffering from terrorism, but chose not to resort to crime or terrorism.
