DENMARK: MUSLIM WOMEN DEFY THE FACE VEIL BAN AS "ISLAMOPHOBIC" & "INTOLERANT"~SWISS CRAFT INOFFENSIVE POLITICALLY CORRECT PROPOSAL

A group of women in Denmark is defying the face veil ban, referring to the ban as “racist” and “intolerant.” These women would not dare protest “intolerance” in an Islamic state. Islamic supremacist incursion into the West, disguised as women’s “rights” and an issue of “tolerance” and “racism,” while exploiting democratic freedoms, is nothing new. As the article indicates below:

To protesters and women who wear the veil, the ban looks like another sign that Denmark is betraying its long-held value of tolerance. “It’s not just about us fighting for the right to wear our niqab,” Sabina says. “It’s also about us fighting for right to live our lives as practicing Muslims in Denmark. We are saying to the government: we do not accept this form of racist, Islamophobic and oppressive politics.

It is well known — or should be — that the burqa and niqab are outward manifestations of the inferiority of women under sharia. These women should join the real heroes of women’s rights in Iran, who shed their hijabs in the streets.

Wearing of head coverings is enforced in sharia states because women are instructed in the Quran to cover themselves; this is true despite the regular insistence that the coverings are not a religious requirement. If a woman doesn’t wear it, she may be abused, and if she is, it’s her fault.

(Quran 24:31) And tell the believing women to reduce of their vision and guard their private parts and not expose their adornment except that which appears thereof and to wrap [a portion of] their headcovers over their chests and not expose their adornment except to their husbands, their fathers, their husbands’ fathers, their sons, their husbands’ sons, their brothers, their brothers’ sons, their sisters’ sons, their women, that which their right hands possess, or those male attendants having no physical desire, or children who are not yet aware of the private aspects of women. And let them not stamp their feet to make known what they conceal of their adornment. And turn to Allah in repentance, all of you, O believers, that you might succeed.

(Quran 33:59) O Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to bring down over themselves of their outer garments. That is more suitable that they will be known and not be abused.

In Western democracies, women are equal to men. The burqa and niqab should be banned because of that, as well as on security grounds.

It is no accident that two issues in particular regularly appear in Western news outlets as contentious: the face veil and “Islamophobia.” Both of those issues can be manipulated into questions of “racism,” “tolerance,” “diversity,” and “multiculturalism” within the framework of democratic countries (which are viewed in traditional Islamic law as part of the House of War). The real issues involved, however, are the Islamic ideas of the supremacy of male over female (as manifested in the burqa, niqab, hijab, chador, etc.) and that Islam is superior and must not be insulted (“Islamophobia” accusations). Other Islamic practices cannot be so easily sold in the West, such as FGM, wife beating, forced underage marriage, the declaration of the supremacy of Islam over other faiths, etc.

The controversy over face veils, as well as that over “Islamophobia,” are really about declarations of the supremacy of Islam over Western societies and laws.

“‘Now It’s a Sign of Protest:’ Muslim Women in Denmark Defy the Face Veil Ban”, Karis Husdad, Time Magazine, August 2, 2018:

Sabina started wearing the niqab two years ago as a way to feel more connected to God. The face veil—a piece of fabric tied around the back of her head that only reveals her eyes—is a reminder of her identity and beliefs, she says. “I found it very beautiful,” the 21-year-old education student explains, sitting cross-legged on the floor of the women’s prayer room in Det Islamiske Trossamfund, a mosque in Copenhagen. “In the beginning it was a very spiritual choice.”

But starting this month when she wears her niqab in public, her act of devotion will also be an act of civil disobedience. She will be one of the Danish citizens defying the country’s ban on face coverings in all public places, which came into effect on Wednesday.

“Now it has also become a political choice for me,” says Sabina, who asked TIME not to disclose her last name out of concerns for her safety. “It is also a sign of protest.”

Sabina is a founder of Kvinder i Dialog (Women in Dialogue), an organization started by niqabis—women who wear the veil—that brings Muslim women affected by the ban into conversation with the larger Danish population through events, social media and public appearances. Their goal has been to dispel what they say are misconceptions about their choice to wear the veil: that niqabis are forced to wear the garment, don’t go to school or work, and are radicalized and pose a threat.

Now their aims have expanded to include standing their ground in Danish society. On the first day of the ban, the women led a public protest over their right to wear the veil. Hundreds of people of different religious and ethnic backgrounds congregated at Den Sorte Plads in Copenhagen’s Nørrebro neighborhood, donning niqabs, colorful scarves and flamboyant face coverings—a horse head, fake beards and lucha libre masks were spotted across the plaza—to challenge the enforcement of the ban. The crowd marched on local streets led by a sign that read “My clothes, my choice” and chanted “No racists in our streets!” as they locked arms around the Bellahøj police station. At the same time, across the country a protest took place in Aarhus, Denmark’s second biggest city.

Many in the crowd said taking to the streets seemed to be the only way to bring attention to the problem. “When I was a kid, no one talked about who you could be and how you could look and dress,” said Line Schmidt, 33, wearing a black balaclava with yellow translucent heart-shaped glasses.“It’s not the Denmark I know.”

To protesters and women who wear the veil, the ban looks like another sign that Denmark is betraying its long-held value of tolerance. “It’s not just about us fighting for the right to wear our niqab,” Sabina says. “It’s also about us fighting for right to live our lives as practicing Muslims in Denmark. We are saying to the government: we do not accept this form of racist, Islamophobic and oppressive politics.”…..

ROBERT SPENCER: TOMMY ROBINSON & BRITAIN'S ONGOING DESCENT INTO MADNESS

ROBERT SPENCER: TOMMY ROBINSON & BRITAIN'S ONGOING DESCENT INTO MADNESS 

SEE: https://www.jihadwatch.org/2018/08/robert-spencer-tommy-robinson-and-britains-ongoing-descent-into-madness; republished below in full unedited for informational, educational and research purposes:

Future ages will see the UK’s persecution of foes of jihad terror as its darkest hour. My latest in FrontPage:

Britain’s darkest hour has followed its finest hour by 78 years.

Tommy Robinson has been freed from a stint in prison that he never should have been serving in the first place. The New York Times reported: “On Wednesday, the Court of Appeal ordered his release, pending a new hearing in his case. The court questioned the speed with which he had been tried and convicted, noting that it took five hours from the time of his arrest to a conviction.”

Indeed. Tommy Robinson was arrested, tried, and sentenced with a Stalinist rapidity, for the crime of calling attention not only to the Muslim rape gang crisis in the UK, but to the abject failure of British officialdom to deal adequately with that crisis, for fear of being charged with “racism” and “Islamophobia.”

Thus it was only just to free Tommy Robinson, and lessens the impression that Britain is becoming a police state in which it is illegal to criticize Islam and mass Muslim migration in Britain today. Britain is still on that road, but apparently in this case the May government was feeling too much pressure to keep Tommy in prison.

However, no one should get the idea that Theresa May’s government has suddenly decided to behave decently toward foes of jihad terror and Sharia oppression of women, gays, and others. Ezra Levant reported Thursday that “Tommy was physically and psychologically abused in prison. You can see it in his face. His appearance is shocking — he lost 40 pounds of weight in just two months. If he were to have stayed in prison much longer, I fear his very life would have been in danger.”

“I’m not a victim, I’m a target,” Robinson said in an interview with Levant, and the Mailonline reported that he said: “What they tried to do was to mentally destroy me. That wasn’t a prison sentence, that was mental torture.”

The treatment of Tommy Robinson in prison was unconscionable, and consistent with the British government’s determination to crush all resistance to its program of mass Muslim migration and capitulation to Sharia supremacists. The treatment of Tommy Robinson in prison was a demonstration of pure police state tactics.

Meanwhile, the establishment media defames him as “far-right” and as a “white nationalist.” Note the contempt and the vicious bias of the New York Times piece. This is Leftist propaganda disguised as a news story. Tommy is described as “anti-Muslim,” the universal label applied to those who oppose jihad terror and Sharia oppression of women, gays, etc. Was opposing the Nazis “anti-German”?

The Times also characterizes Robinson as a “far-right activist.” Anyone, no matter how socially liberal and how committed to the principles of secular, republican rule, is “far-right” for opposing jihad terror and Sharia oppression. There is no substance to the term other than to try to equate such opposition with Nazism.

The Times semaphores to its dwindling Leftist readership, if the point weren’t clear enough already, that Tommy is not to have their support, for he is supported by “former Trump aide Stephen K. Bannon but reviled by others who call him a violent purveyor of hate.” Who calls him a “violent purveyor of hate”? Hope Not Hate, a Leftist smear group akin to the Southern Poverty Law Center.

Then there is the open libel that Robinson’s “divisive, anti-Muslim rhetoric has resulted in acts of violence,” he added, the most extreme of which occurred when a man, inspired by Mr. Robinson, rammed a van into a congregation of Muslims leaving a mosque in north London in January.”

In reality, there was no “inspiration” from Robinson, who never called for any attacks on mosques. The Times makes this connection based on a mass email that the perpetrator received, which itself did not call for or justify any violence. The Times rushes to connect Robinson to this incident, while it can never quite see the connection between Muslims screaming “Allahu akbar” while killing people and the violent passages of the Qur’an.

And so Britain descends further into madness while the international media smears and defames one of its few remaining sane citizens. Will the free British people go quietly into the night?

BOAT MIGRANTS IN ITALY DOWN 80%, UP 350% IN SOCIALIST SPAIN

BOAT MIGRANTS IN ITALY DOWN 80%, UP 350% IN SOCIALIST SPAIN 

BY CHRISTINE DOUGLASS-WILLIAMS

SEE: https://www.jihadwatch.org/2018/08/boat-migrants-in-italy-down-80-up-350-in-socialist-spain; republished below in full unedited for informational, educational and research purposes:

The number of migrant sea arrivals in populist Italy, so far in 2018, is down 80 percent compared to last year, whilst surging by over 350 percent in the same period in socialist Spain.

In Ceuta, this was the scene described in the Daily Mail as migrants stormed in: They scrambled over ‘all of a sudden, with much violence,’ and some attacked police with quicklime they had in tubes and bottles. As a result, ‘more than a dozen police’ were injured with the substance, four of whom had to go to the hospital for burns to their faces and arms. Some of the migrants scaling the fences threw feces at police officers trying to hold them back

How likely are these migrants likely to “integrate” into Spain?

The Daily Star reported in February that Ceuta is now a slum that “is breeding ground for ISIS terrorists.” Spain’s Foreign Minister, however, has denied that his country is experiencing mass migration. He said: “We need new blood.”

Meanwhile, in nearby Italy, Italian interior minister Matteo Salvini vowed: “I promised to defend the borders and I am doing it with all my energy and all the means at my disposal.”

“Boat Migrants Down 80 Percent in Populist Italy, up 350 Percent in Socialist Spain,” by Liam Deacon, Breitbart, August 1, 2018:

The number of migrant sea arrivals in populist Italy, so far in 2018, is down 80 percent compared to last year, whilst surging by over 350 percent in the same period in socialist Spain.

Over 57,500 illegal migrants and asylum seekers have arrived in Europe by sea so far this year, compared to 112,375 over the same period last year, the UN Migration Agency said in a paper Tuesday.

And as the number of clandestine crossings fell, deaths in the Mediterranean Sea more than halved, falling from 2,240 to 1,111.

The significant fall is likely to be partly thanks to Italy’s new, populist government, which is fighting to end illegal crossings and to protect their borders. There were just 18,392 migrants arriving in Italy so far this year, 80.6 percent less than the same period last year.

However, Spain, which has a new socialist government, has become the new main arrival-by-sea country in the Mediterranean. More than 22,800 migrants have arrived there since the beginning of the year, with 1,866 since the 25th of July alone…..

US SLAPS SANCTIONS ON TWO TURKISH LEADERS OVER PASTOR BRUNSON'S DETENTION~ERDOGAN REMAINS DEFIANT

US SLAPS SANCTIONS ON TWO TURKISH LEADERS OVER PASTOR BRUNSON'S DETENTION~ERDOGAN REMAINS DEFIANT

Said Erdogan: “You cannot make Turkey take a step back with sanctions. They need to know the following: we are not tied with an umbilical cord to the U.S.”

Good. Rapidly re-Islamizing Turkey has not been a reliable ally of the United States for some time, and it is foolish to pretend otherwise. This sham alliance, and others as well, should be ended.



“US Slaps Sanctions on 2 Turkish Political Leaders Over Andrew Brunson’s Detention,” by Samuel Smith, Christian Post, August 2, 2018:


The Trump administration followed through on its threats to take action against Turkey over the detention of American Pastor Andrew Brunson by sanctioning two top government officials on Wednesday.

The U.S. Department of the Teasury’s [sic] Office of Foreign Assets Control announced that it has sanctioned Turkey’s Minister of Justice Abdulhamit Gul and Minister of Interior Suleyman Soylu, both of whom lead agencies that are responsible for the arrest and imprisonment of the 50-year-old North Carolina native.

“Pastor Brunson’s unjust detention and continued prosecution by Turkish officials is simply unacceptable,” Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said in a statement. “President [Donald] Trump has made it abundantly clear that the United States expects Turkey to release him immediately.”

The sanctions come after Vice President Mike Pence and Trump vowed last week that they would slap “significant” and “large” sanctions on its NATO ally over Brunson’s detention. Pence made the promise during his keynote speech last Thursday at the State Department’s Ministerial to Advance Religious Freedom, a day after Brunson was released to house arrest after over a year-and-a-half in prison….

Brunson appealed to a Turkish court this week to be released from his home detention. However, his appeal was rejected on Tuesday.

Brunson, who has served as a church leader in Izmir for over two decades, was accused of having connections to an Islamic organization blamed for the 2016 coup attempt against the Erdogan government and was also accused of having connections to Kurdish militants. He has denied all charges. Many feel that he is being used as a political pawn to pressure the U.S. government to extradite Islamic cleric Fethullah Gulen.

“We’ve seen no evidence that Pastor Brunson has done anything wrong and we believe he is a victim of unfair and unjust [detention] by the government of Turkey,” White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders said on Wednesday. “As a result, any property or interest in property of both ministers within U.S. jurisdiction is blocked and U.S. persons are generally prohibited from engaging in transactions with them.”

The sanctions against Gul and Soylu are pursuant to the executive order issued last December by Trump which states that “serious human rights abuse and corruption around the world constitute an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States.”…

The Turkish government has claimed that it cannot intervene in Brunson’s case because it is being handled by the judicial system. Brunson has had three hearings so far in which only questionable secret witness testimony has been presented against him. His next court hearing is in October….

The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom lists Turkey as a “Tier 2” country of concern for religious liberty.

“In 2017, the state of religious freedom in Turkey worsened. Proposed changes in the educational curriculum, an increase in government funding solely for Sunni mosques, and a lack of movement with respect to legal status and registration for non-Muslim communities have led Turkey on a downward trend,” a 2018 USCIRF report states, adding that the nation’s strict secularization prevents religious communities from obtaining full legal status.

“The majority of the other longstanding religious freedom concerns remain unresolved, including the return of expropriated minority properties, the delay in providing dual citizenship to Greek Orthodox Metropolitans so they can participate in the church’s Holy Synod, and equal funding for religious minority community buildings from the public budget.”

Turkey President Recep Tayyip Erdogan warned the U.S. on Sunday that it risks losing a “strong and sincere partner” if it continues pressuring it over Brunson.

“You cannot make Turkey take a step back with sanctions,” Erdogan declared. “They need to know the following: we are not tied with an umbilical cord to the U.S.”

On Wednesday, he claimed that “Turkey has no problems related to [religious] minorities.”

“Threatening language of the U.S. evangelist, Zionist mentality is unacceptable,” Erdogan told reporters. “We will continue on the path we believe in without the slightest concession to our freedom, sovereignty, or judicial independence.”

“EXCLUSIVE: Tommy Robinson tells Ezra Levant about prison treatment, thanks supporters,” by Ezra Levant, Rebel Media, August 2, 2018:


After Tommy Robinson’s release from prison yesterday, I travelled from London to Luton to congratulate Tommy in person.

It was glorious to see him reunited with his beautiful wife and three lovely children. Those kids — who missed their dad so painfully — had smiles on their faces that I will never forget.

Tommy invited me to join the family for dinner, but I didn’t want to intrude in their private time. But I did ask him to sit down with me for ten minutes, to tell the world how he was doing.

And as I listened, my joy turned to sorrow, and then to rage.

Because Tommy was physically and psychologically abused in prison.

You can see it in his face. His appearance is shocking — he lost 40 pounds of weight in just two months.

If he were to have stayed in prison much longer, I fear his very life would have been in danger….


“‘I’m not a victim, I’m a target’: Ex-EDL leader Tommy Robinson breaks silence to say he suffered ‘mental torture’ in prison after 13-month jail term is quashed – as he reveals he will join family for Tenerife holiday,” by Martin Robinson and Iain Burns, Mailonline, August 2, 2018 (thanks to Harry):


Tommy Robinson is heading off to Tenerife for a fortnight with his family after being freed from jail and told his supporters: ‘I’m not their victim, I’m their target’.

Robinson left jail yesterday after winning an appeal over his 13-month contempt sentence for filming a Facebook Live video outside a trial of an alleged Asian sex gang.

He refused to speak as he walked out of HMP Onley in Northamptonshire yesterday but later posted a video on YouTube of his return home and being reunited with his three children.

He said: ‘A year ago I booked a holiday with my family for two weeks in Tenerife. We go on holiday on Friday in 24 hours. I didn’t expect to come home today’.

Yesterday judges freed him after ruling it was ‘unfair’ to give him 13 months in prison during a ‘muddled’ and ‘rushed’ court case held just five hours after his arrest.

He had confronted suspects being prosecuted in trials involving dozens of Asian men accused of grooming children as young as 11.

Robinson broadcast these exchanges to 250,000 people watching him on Facebook Live and even captured the moment police arrested him.

The 35-year-old far-right activist – who became a public figure after co-founding the English Defence League – said last night: ‘What they tried to do was to mentally destroy me. That wasn’t a prison sentence, that was mental torture If I was bitter and angry I would accept my own victimhood. I’m not their victim, I’m their target.’

Robinson also thanked his supporters around the world, including UKIP leader Gerard Batten.

He had been behind bars for two months after confronting defendants outside Leeds Crown Court on May 25….

Washington, DC –-(AmmoLand.com)- 

Jim Jordan is officially running for Speaker of the House. He is the swamp-drainer we need to fight for our rights. No more Paul Ryans! “We the People” need a pro-gun Speaker with a spine. Paul Ryan and his anti-gun establishment donors are already grooming their chosen golden boy to succeed Ryan’s throne as Speaker of the House.

Jim Jordan

We can’t let it happen. We’ve been stabbed in the back too many times.

This is the year we stand up and DEMAND a pro-gun speaker who speaks on behalf of the American people — not the donor class.

Jim Jordan is a fighter. He doesn’t back down at the first sight of pressure from the media or anti-gunners who shamelessly hide behind children.

But to win, this pro-gun champion is going to need the help of the people.

Please contact your Congressman or woman and ask they support Jim Jordan for Speaker of the House.
