Muslim Pupils Lynch Christian Teacher

The West is very non-reactive. Iran has been in a state of low-intensity war against the United States since 1979 - and it was not until very recently that we finally decided to join the event. Likewise, radical Islam is at war with the secular West, as well as anyone of a religion other then Wahhabi Islam. It will be long in coming, I am sure, but we are on a course where the religion of intolerance that is Wahhabi Islam will, itself, not be tolerated by the rest of the world. At any rate, todays latest atrocity from the world of Wahhabi Islam, courtesy of Reuters:

Muslim pupils at a secondary school in northeastern Nigeria beat a teacher to death on Wednesday after accusing her of desecrating the Koran, police and witnesses said.

Oluwatoyin Olusase, a Christian, was invigilating an Islamic Religious Knowledge exam at the school in Gombe state when the incident occurred. The students attacked her outside the school compound after the exam and killed her, witnesses said.

It was not clear exactly what Olusase had done that angered the students.

Police confirmed the killing and said their intervention had prevented the incident from turning into a riot.

"We have received information that a female teacher has been lynched by her students. We are investigating the report," Gombe state police commissioner Joseph Ibi said.

At least five people were killed and several churches burned down in February 2006 in the neighbouring state of Bauchi by Muslims infuriated that a Christian teacher in a secondary school had tried to confiscate a Koran from a student who was reading it during class.

Word got out into the streets that the teacher had desecrated the Koran, infuriating Muslims who went on the rampage.

German Court Cites Koran to Allow Domestic Violence in Muslim Marriages

A German court, in adjudicating a divorce case between a young muslim couple, applied the concepts of Sharia law that allow for a husband to strike his wife in deciding that the woman's basis for seeking a divorce, that her husband had battered her and made repeated threats to kill her, was not justified. Citing to the Koran, the judge wrote in his decision denying a speedy divorce:

"The exercise of the right to castigate does not fulfill the hardship criteria as defined by Paragraph 1565 (of German federal law)," the daily Frankfurter Rundschau quoted the judge's letter as saying. It must be taken into account, the judge argued, that both man and wife have Moroccan backgrounds.

"The right to castigate means for me: the husband can beat his wife," Becker-Rojczyk said, interpreting the judge's verdict.

Read the story here. I am near speechless. While my knee-jerk reaction is to be hyper-critical of the Germans, accusing them of quickening the pace of their march towards dhimmi status, I have to be fair and note that most Germans seem appalled by this decision and are seeking discipline of the judge.

Keeping an Eye On CAIR: Part I

And CAIR, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, does bear watching for several reasons, including their support of and ties to terrorist groups, their propaganda efforts in support of Wahabbi Islam, and their efforts to change the laws and culture of America. I previously posted on CAIR here, and most recently here, on their disgraceful part in promoting the canard of Israeli wrongdoing in making repairs to a walkway near the Temple Mount. Maverick News Network recently covered CAIR's support of convicted terrorist supporter Sami Al-Arian.

CAIR's latest act, shown in their post here, involves an attempt to change the laws and culture of the United States.

CAIR has asked the FBI to investigate a video on MySpace as a civil rights violation. The video, called "Kill the Koran," shows a Koran being shot and then deposited on the steps of a Mosque. Certainly while this may be distasteful to Muslims and non-Muslims alike, that alone does not constitute a civil rights violation. To the extent that CAIR is arguing that any desecration of the Koran should be a violation of law, they are in essence enlisting the FBI to help impose - by law or by coercion -- Sharia law in the U.S. Under Sharia, the Koran is considered holy and its desecration is a punishable sin. Under U.S. secular law, you of course, as the NYT will tell you, have a First Amendment right to speak out symbolically by showing such things as a cross in a glass of urine. I see no difference here.

The closest possible basis for a civil rights violation arises from the burning of a cross. In 2003, the Supreme Court held, in Virginia v. Black, that states can explicitly outlaw the burning of a cross on someones lawn, largely because the well known historical basis for that act was illegal coercion. But it is a far cry from that one exception to the rule to now say that the destruction of any religious icon amounts to coercion and is a civil rights violation. Indeed, CAIR cannot even claim coercion in this case since it is they, not the attendees at the mosque, who have brought this matter to the FBI. Moreover, the title of the video was "Kill the Koran," not "Kill Muslims." That also vitiates against any finding of coercion as opposed to simple exercise of free speech.

While CAIR could publicly condemn this act -- and I for one would join them in such condemnation -- instead they vastly, and foolishly, overreach. They have no right or basis to make the desecration of the Koran a crime in America.

I would urge you, if you see the actions of CAIR as a threat, to tell the same to your elected representatives, and ask them to make sure that our tools of government are not being improperly enlisted to further the goals of CAIR and Wahabbi Islam.

Update: There is an excellent post from Martin McBride on the MNN site that strongly urges that anyone concerned about CAIR start attending their local functions and document for the world what is going on. I could not agree more. Here is the link to Mr. McBrides post.

THE DANES AWAKEN

The Gates of Vienna is documenting the efforts of an organization in Denmark, SIAD, Stop the Islamification of Denmark. It is a fascinating read.

Gates of Vienna reports:

SIAD has called for certain verses of the Koran to be banned in Denmark, since they violate the clauses of the Danish Constitution prohibiting speech that incites violence.

SIAD took the trouble to send the relevant information as a press release to Al Jazeera and the embassies of various Muslim countries. Upon reading about SIAD’s initiative, a journalist in Turkey contacted Anders Gravers, the leader of the group, for an interview. Here’s the report from SIAD’s blog:


The journalist asked which parts of the Koran offend the Danish constitution. We answered, sura 8 and 9, especially 9:5, and sura 4:34, sura 4:15, sura 33:60, sura 4:11, sura 2:282, sura 24:13, sura 9:3, sura 12:29, sura 48:17, sura 47:36, sura 76:5, sura 4:57, sura 33:27. And 33:21 which involves the hadith.

. . . The journalist had seen in a Danish newspaper, Politiken, that we have sent our claim to the head of the Danish justice department, Lene Espersen. But we have also sent it to Al Jazeera and a couple of Arabic embassies. He wanted to know why we had send it to Al Jazeera and the embassies. Anders Gravers answered that we want to save the Danish imams from another trip to the Arabic countries. Instead of travelling around, they could just as well hear the truth from their own channel Al Jazeera and from their embassies.

Denmark is the model. These guys really know how to treat the bullies of Islam.- - - - - - - - - -Without even consulting the 910 Group, they’re following the 910 playbook:

1.Don’t be defensive; be aggressive. Take the fight into the enemy’s territory.

2. Refuse to be intimidated by the bullying tactics and threats of the Islamic groups.

3. Take a tip from the Islamists and use legal initiatives and lawsuits to pressure them.

4. Emphasize the overwhelmingly violent nature of the writings in the Koran and the Hadith.

5. Use humor as a major weapon, since Muslims are defenseless against it.

I love the last one, though, in truth, I think that applies only to the politicized Muslims. An excellent post. Please read the whole thing.
