Time to stop lying to ourselves about Qatar

The news this week that US President Joe Biden has decided not to remove Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps from the State Department's list of foreign terrorist organizations shouldn't have come as a very big surprise. A majority of senators oppose removing the largest and most lethal terror group in the world from the list. And if Biden had crumpled to Iran's demand to remove it, he would have endangered the 2015 nuclear deal, which as far as Biden and his advisors are concerned, is the be all and end all of their Middle East policy.

What Iran will receive to make up for the Revolutionary Guards staying on the list is still unclear. But two things are clear. First, the administration is completely committed to the 2015 nuclear deal.

This position, which is not subject to change, is indefensible on its face, and not merely because the deal guarantees that the largest state sponsor of terrorism will have a nuclear arsenal in eight years at the very latest. And it is indefensible not merely because the deal gives the UN Security Council's stamp of legitimacy to an illicit nuclear weapons program developed by a UN member state that is pledged to annihilate another UN member nation.

Nothing has changed about Taliban, from terror to Sharia. Islamic world should pressure them
Zardasht Shams
1 day ago

Ever since they seized power from former Afghan president Ashraf Ghani, the Taliban have continued to impose brutally suppressive diktats in the name of religion. A series of recent repressive measures indicate hard-line ideologues among the Taliban flexing their muscles to assert power within their internationally unrecognised regime. Ban on girls’ education, imposition of hijab or face veil on women, compelling male employees to grow long beards and wear turbans or caps, segregation of parks, leisure venues and even restaurants by gender are just a few of these sanctions. They have also tried to limit access to independent information by taking off air broadcasts of international media, including Voice of America, BBC and Deutsche Welle. Local media is already facing unprecedented censorship and restrictions. Several news anchors and senior journalists working in Taliban-controlled Afghanistan resigned after being threatened for criticising or questioning the regime’s draconian codes. In another recent move, the Taliban’s Ministry of Vice and Virtue has instructed all TV channels to make sure that female presenters cover their faces.

But before they came to power, the Taliban had presented another face to the world.

Dashing dreams of girls
With the hope of regaining power, even before the conclusion of the Doha agreement with the United States in February 2020, the Taliban were presenting their softer image by agreeing to human rights—particularly women’s rights and girls’ education.

Islamophobia and Islamoignorance
Our problem is not that we fear Islam -- but that we know so little about it.
Wed May 25, 2022
William Kilpatrick

When the word “Islamophobia” first became current many years ago, I was sure it wouldn’t catch on. People, I thought, would quickly see that it was a gimmick—an obvious attempt to capitalize on “homophobia.” It was also an obvious attempt to stigmatize discussion and/or criticism of Islam as hateful.

I was wrong. The word has entered our language, and it doesn’t appear to be going away any time soon. And even though it is still obviously a ploy to prevent any honest discussion of Islam, very few are willing to admit as much in public.

The word “Islamophobia” is a propaganda tool. It’s used to beat people into submission or silence. Most recently, it was used to influence GOP voters to vote against Kathy Barnette in the Pennsylvania primary election for Senate. One of her chief opponents, Dr. Mehmet Oz (who is Muslim) accused her of having made “Islamophobic” remarks in the past, but so also did conservative icons, Sean Hannity and Mark Levin.

*****I learned about islam over 20 years ago and studied the qur'an, I was shocked how violent muslims can be at any given moment in time. Every single person (Christians and non-believers) needs to know about muslims and there are several threads (posts) on Christians Unite forum*****

Suspected jihadists killed around 50 civilians in Burkina Faso, the Eastern region's governor said Thursday, in the latest attack in the impoverished Sahel nation.

The civilians from Madjoari died on Wednesday trying to flee a jihadist blockade, said Colonel Hubert Yameogo in a statement, adding that the toll was provisional.

Survivors told AFP by telephone they had been trying to get away from the attackers as food ran out.

"The people were intercepted and executed by the terrorists," one survivor said. "All the dead were men."

New data: Number of Muslims in Austria doubled to 745,000 since 2001
May 27 2022

Some Austrian Christians might be a little surprised by this new survey by Statistics Austria: The fact that 745,600 Muslims already live in Austria and 284,000 of them in Vienna is a huge increase compared to 2001 – after all, there are currently as many Muslims living in Vienna as there are inhabitants of Linz.

The growth of the Islamic religious community in Austria has been documented by statisticians for 50 years: in 1971 there were 22,300 Muslims living in Austria, in 1981 76,900, by 1991 the number had doubled to 158,800, in 2001 there were already 339,000 and now last year 745,600.

Vienna is currently home to by far the largest number of Muslims: 284,900 according to Statistics Austria. This means that 14.8 per cent of the Viennese are members of the Islamic religious community – and only 31.8 per cent are Roman Catholics (34 per cent of the people living in the federal capital have no religious affiliation).

Hamas Warns Israel Allowing Flag March To Proceed Risks Violence
MOHAMMAD AL-KASSIM
05/26/2022

A controversial “Flag March” planned by Jewish right-wing groups and scheduled for Sunday, threatens to spark violence.

Nationalist groups traditionally hold the march in parts of the Old City for Jerusalem Day, the annual commemoration of the unification of the city after Israel occupied east Jerusalem in 1967.

The traditional route, approved by Israeli authorities for this year’s event, sees marchers enter the Old City through Damascus Gate, heavily used by Palestinians, en route to the Western Wall.

Last year violence erupted when the march got underway; Palestinian factions in Gaza fired a barrage of rockets into Israel triggering an 11-day war.

Uyghur Mugshots, Guard Expectations Among Leaked Xinjiang Police Files
By Celine Ryan Ciccio 
May 25, 2022

The Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation (VOC) says that the documentation “conclusively refutes these claims and shows the extent to which the central government in Beijing has been directly involved in masterminding and supporting the campaign of mass internment.”

Among the leaked  Xinjiang Police Files are 2,884 mugshots of Uyghur detainees as young as 15. Other images show heavily armed guards, as well as detainees in handcuffs and hoods during what are believed to be “security drills.”

One document detailing a plan for transferring detainees to the “Industrial City Education and Training Center,” instructs staff to “prepare 430 sets of handcuffs, shackles and hoods in advance,” noting that “all the trainees who need to be transferred must wear all three” and that each individual detainee must be accompanied by at least two guards during the transfer.

Iranian Religious Song Seen As Attempt To Indoctrinate Children
May 26, 2022 15:14 GMT
By Golnaz Esfandiari

Iran's clerical establishment is promoting a new religious song as part of what critics say is an attempt to indoctrinate children.

In recent weeks, Iranian state media has published videos and images of children performing the song, titled Salute Commander, in schools, squares, and stadiums across the Islamic republic.

The song is believed to be backed by the Education Ministry and has been praised by the powerful Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), the elite branch of the country’s armed forces.

It appears to be the latest effort by authorities to promote the clerical establishment's ideological values among the youth and ensure their loyalty to the regime. Critics have blasted the song as an attempt to brainwash vulnerable children.

“Protect your families, you infidels. I will cut your throats like I did in Syria”. : Man convicted of threats in France but acquitted of glorifying terrorism
May 26 2022

On the night of May 21-22, he was provoked by the noise of his neighbours and shouted insults at them for over an hour. With two bottles of vodka in his pocket, he recited the encyclopaedia of insults from A to Z, garnished with a few references to Daech. “Protect your families, infidels. I will cut your throats, as I did in Syria. I will drink your blood.” The group of young partygoers across the street, laughing more than worrying, videotape the scene.

The Magistrate is trying to ascertain whether the offence of glorification of terrorism has been committed. According to case law, such an offence only exists if the accused attempts to incite or arrange terrorism. Otherwise, it is a simple threat. ” I don’t know anything about it at all. I don’t even have an Arab background or anything,” the accused claims awkwardly. I’m just a normal Spaniard.”

Middle East, North Africa in a spot over family GBV
Friday, May 27, 2022
By Kamau Maichuhie

* Millions of women and girls across the region have no security and safety that a family can bring because of discriminatory family laws.
* Domestic violence in the region is the second-highest worldwide, with 34.5 per cent of its married women having experienced intimate partner violence.

A section of rights organisations have raised concerns over failure by family laws in the Middle East and North Africa (Mena) to protect women and girls.

The absence of a unified secular family code in most Mena countries deepens the discrimination against women. Domestic violence in the region is the second-highest worldwide, with 34.5 per cent of its married women having experienced intimate partner violence.

Loopholes in laws and patchy implementation result in 700,000 child brides in Mena every year.

One in five girls is married before the age of 18 and one in every 25 is married before the age of 15. The prevalence of child marriage varies from country to country depending on social norms and economic situations. The highest percentage is in Yemen (32 per cent), followed by Iraq 24 and Egypt 17 per cent.

Child marriage has increased significantly among Syrian refugees, reaching almost 50 per cent in Turkey, Lebanon (40 per cent) and Jordan at 32 per cent.

Equality Now, an organisation fighting for a just world for women and girls since 1992, in a statement, said lack of laws and proper implementation has put millions of child brides at risk of pregnancy and childbirth complications, which is considered the number one killer of girls aged between 15 and 19.

Sharia in Italy: Burned with an iron for not wearing a veil
05/26/2022

She was abused at home for months, maybe even years: her mother is said to have even burned her with an iron, her brother not only beat her but even went so far as to hit her with a glass.

This is the verdict of the court of Brescia (Italy) in a case of ill-treatment and assault initiated following a complaint (2019) by a young girl of Pakistani origin, who was only 15 at the time.

The girl, who was harassed by her Islamic relatives, is said to have run away from home several times before reporting the incidents. She was later placed in a sheltered community ....................................

New Delhi: Hindu woman raped for eight months, fed beef, forced to embrace Islam; accused Saif Ansari and others booked
27 May, 2022

Despite the existence of stringent laws, grooming jihad cases continue to emerge from various parts of the country. In one such recent case, a Hindu woman from Delhi was abused, physically assaulted, and forced to convert to Islam after refusing to marry the accused, Saif Ansari.

According to the reports, the Hindu lady was locked for more than 8 months in the Paharganj area of Delhi, Gurugram, and Rohitas, Bihar and was gang-raped several times by the accused, his father, and other male relatives. The accused also recorded video every time the victim was assaulted and used it to blackmail her into converting to Islam.

The incident dates back to 2021 when accused Ansari approached a 26-year-old Hindu woman at the Gurugram metro station.

Biden’s Iran Envoy: Terrorist Groups Hamas, Hezbollah Are Misunderstood, ‘Have Their Own Rationality’
By  Hank Berrien
May 26, 2022

President Joe Biden’s Special Envoy to Iran, Robert Malley, whose anti-Israel positions have been cited as well as his ambition to secure a nuclear deal (JCPOA) with arch-terrorist state Iran, has said that the terrorist groups Hamas and Hezbollah are simply misunderstood by the West.

Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR), possibly the staunchest opponent of Iran in the U.S. Senate, reacted harshly when reports indicated Biden would select Malley for his current post.

“It’s deeply troubling that President Biden would consider appointing Rob Malley to direct Iran policy,” he stated. “Malley has a long track record of sympathy for the Iranian regime & animus towards Israel. The ayatollahs wouldn’t believe their luck if he is selected.”
