Crooked-Thinking — Fri, 24 May 2013 18:15:30 -0400

The Rap superstar LL Cool J and the Country Music superstar Brad Paisley recorded a new song titled 'Accidental Racist'. The song sparked fierce criticism from both sides of the fence. While some do praise and see it as good thing others question its purpose. The bottom line is these guys are profiting from this controversy.

Black Male Dressed in KKK Outfit Causes Outrage in Philly Black Community

Crooked-Thinking — Fri, 24 May 2013 18:28:56 -0400

The man must be blind to dress like that and get his message across. I am not questioning his intention but his way of doing it is rather stupid. It looks more like he wants attention instead of solving the violence in the Black Community.

Israeli students to get $2,000 to spread state propaganda on Facebook

AntiPropagaanda — Sat, 25 May 2013 10:29:52 -0400

Israeli students to get $2,000 to spread state propaganda on Facebook Submitted on Wed, 01/04/2012 - 17:53 The National Union of Israeli Students (NUIS) has become a full-time partner in the Israeli government's efforts to spread its propaganda online and on college campuses around the world. NUIS has launched a program to pay Israeli university students $2,000 to spread pro-Israel propaganda online for 5 hours per week from the "comfort of home." The union is also partnering with Israel's Jewish Agency to send Israeli students as missionaries to spread propaganda in other countries, for which they will also receive a stipend. This active recruitment of Israeli students is part of Israel's orchestrated effort to suppress the Palestinian solidarity movement under the guise of combating "delegitimization" of Israel and anti-Semitism. The involvement of the official Israeli student union as well as Haifa University, Tel Aviv University, Ben-Gurion University and Sapir College in these state propaganda programs will likely bolster Palestinian calls for the international boycott of Israeli academic institutions . Paying students to spread Israeli propaganda onlineThis is our opportunity, as Israeli students, to provide hasbara that is correct and balanced, to help in the struggle against the delegitimization of the State of Israel and against hatred of Jews in the world. That is one of the exhortations in a Hebrew document issued by NUIS , and translated by The Electronic Intifada , inviting Israeli students to apply for a program to help spread Israel's message. The project seeks to take advantage of the fact that "Many students in Israel master the Internet and are proficient at using the Internet and social networking and various sites and are required to write and express themselves in English." The paid scholarship will allow them to get training and then work from home for five hours per week for a year to "refute" what it calls "misinformation" about Israel on social networking sites. Among the stated goals of the scholarships is "to deepen and expand hasbara activities of students in the State of Israel." The document explains: The Internet allows uncontrolled access to content from marginal groups and therefore can influence many audiences who are exposed to such information, particularly young people who are more easily influenced. The Internet, then, is used as a major tool for the dissemination of anti-Semitism, hatred of Israel and of Jews and thus the Internet is also the place to battle against such sites, pull the ground from under them and to provide reliable and balanced information. Work from the "comfort of home"The NUIS program document explains: After training, the student will begin his activities. The student will do the activities in the comfort of his home, where every week he will be obligated to about 5 hours of activities for a period of one calendar year (not academic year). Students will be paid a total of NIS 7,500 to perform the tasks of the project, at least 5 hours weekly for a total of 240 hours of activities under the project umbrella. What is completely missing from the program is any indication that criticism of Israel could be valid. Rather the National Union of Israeli Students apparently seeks to indoctrinate Israeli students that every criticism of Israel is "hate" and "anti-Semitism" and that the Internet should be seen as a battlefield on which they are foot soldiers. Using e-learning tools for government propagandaAn interesting aspect of the NUIS program is that it uses the common open source virtual learning environment Moodle as its interface with program participants. This interface can be found at students.digitalchange.co.il . Whereas Moodle was designed for education - to spread mind-opening learning beyond the constraints of geography - the Israeli innovation here is to use it for mind-narrowing propaganda: getting students to be uncritical, to not think for themselves, but rather to spread Israel's state-sponsored propaganda. See the world, spread more propagandaNUIS has also partnered with the Jewish Agency, the Israeli state body that encourages Jews from around the world to settle on stolen Palestinian land, to spread propaganda on college campuses around the world. The Jewish Agency website announces , as translated from Hebrew by Dena Shunra for The Electronic Intifada: For the first time in Israel - a unique, world-encompassing scholarship, in cooperation between the Student Union and the Jewish Agency. Every year the Jewish Agency of Israel sends approximately 150 emissaries to various places around the world - North America, England, South Africa, Australia, Germany, Italy and South America, who engage in Jewish education and hasbara in three main streams - Hillel emissaries (to campuses around North America), community emissaries and youth movement emissaries. Training for these overseas missions for successful applicants will take place at Haifa University, Tel Aviv University, Ben-Gurion University and Sapir College, after which the would-be missionaries "will set off for a one-year mission in the various Jewish communities around the world, and will also receive a scholarship of up to NIS 5,000 ." Applications are open to Israeli citizens who have lived in the country for three years, those who have completed service in the Israeli army, and those who speak foreign languages, among other criteria. A student union in the service of the stateIn most countries student unions often find themselves at odds with state authorities, fighting for the rights of students. But it would appear that Israel's "student union" does not so much represent students and fight for their rights, but represents the state in the state's efforts to recruit students to do its political bidding. In this sense, the NUIS functions in a very similar way to Israel's "trade union" the Histadrut . Who funds NUIS and what role do they play in government propaganda efforts?See: Israel's "pretty face": How National Union of Israeli Students does government's propaganda dirty work Translation: Students in the Struggle against Anti-Semitism on the InternetNational Union of Israeli Students Students in the Struggle against Anti-Semitism on the Internet Vision and background: The National Union of Israeli Students unites about 300,000 students from all over the country. NUIS promotes the goals and objectives of students, guards the status of students and impacts the public agenda in all aspects from the perspective that the future generation should be a full partner in shaping the Israeli reality of tomorrow. For young people the Internet is first of all a tool for work and study. Many students in Israel master the Internet and are proficient at using the Internet and social networking and various sites and are required to write and express themselves in English. Like other web users, students encounter anti-Semitic websites disseminating hatred of Israel and hatred of Jews on the Internet. In recent years use of the Internet for work, finding information and leisure has become accepted and common all over the world. Alongside the development of the Internet and its use, websites have developed that disseminate anti-Semitic and false information that one could not find a publisher in the pre-Internet age. The Internet allows uncontrolled access to content from marginal groups and therefore can influence many audiences who are exposed to such information, particularly young people who are more easily influenced. The Internet, then, is used as a major tool for the dissemination of anti-Semitism, hatred of Israel and of Jews and thus the Internet is also the place to battle against such sites, pull the ground from under them and to provide reliable and balanced information. In the present reality, in which the Internet has become a key tool in spreading anti-Semitism, and given that most students use this medium, it is requested that Israeli students will be the ones to lead the battle against hostile websites. The following proposed scholarships will allow students to map the anti-Semitic websites and to deal with what is said on them. During the project students can work on social networks to refute misinformation comprehensively available throughout this medium. This is our opportunity, as Israeli students, to provide hasbara that is correct and balanced, to help in the struggle against the delegitimization of the State of Israel and against hatred of Jews in the world. Project goals To deal with, struggle and reduce dissemination of anti-Semitism on the Internet; To deepen and expand hasbara activities of students in the State of Israel; To increase the awareness and involvement of the National Union of Israeli Students, local student associations, and students in general about what is happening in the world concerning Jews and the status of Israel. Student activities After training, the student will begin his activities. The student will do the activities in the comfort of his home, where every week he will be obligated to about 5 hours of activities for a period of one calendar year (not academic year). Students will be paid a total of NIS 7,500 to perform the tasks of the project, at least 5 hours weekly for a total of 240 hours of activities under the project umbrella. The scholarship will be given to the student at three periods; in April, in August at the NUIS scholarship award ceremony, and in November. Students will be admitted into the project only if they are members of student union at their institution of higher learning, provided such institution is a member of NUIS. Applications are made through the NUIS website http://www.nuis.co.il at the scholarships page.

Woolwich attack provokes anti-Muslim backlash across UK

Detroit Iron — Sat, 25 May 2013 10:11:05 -0400

The murder of soldier Lee Rigby has provoked a backlash of anti-Muslim anger across the UK, including the attacking of mosques, racial abuse and comments on social media.By Tom Whitehead, Security Editor 12:59PM BST 25 May 2013 Reports of attacks to one helpline have increased more than six fold in the days since Wednesday's atrocity, allegedly carried out by Islamic fanatics. They have included "focused, very aggressive attacks", a spokesman said. A number of people were appearing in various courts around the country for a series of unrelated alleged racist incidents. Police in Newcastle were also bracing themselves for a rally organised by the English Defence League and arrested three people ahead of the event for allegedly making racist tweets. Faith Matters, which works to reduce extremism, said its helpline had been inundated with reports of attacks, including some on mosques. Before the Woolwich murder between four to eight cases a day were reported but it had received up to 150 in the last few days. Fiyaz Mughal, director of Faith Matters, told BBC Radio Five Live: "What's really concerning is the spread of these incidents. They're coming in from right across the country. "Secondly, some of them are quite aggressive very focused, very aggressive attacks. And thirdly, there also seems to be significant online activity ... suggesting co-ordination of incidents and attacks against institutions or places where Muslims congregate." A 22-year-old man was appearing before magistrates in Lincoln charged with making malicious comments on Facebook. Benjamin Flatters, from the city, was arrested on Thursday after complaints were made to Lincolnshire Police about comments made on the social networking site which were allegedly of a racist or antireligious nature, a Lincolnshire Police spokesman said. Avon and Somerset Police arrested and bailed two men for making alleged offensive comments on Twitter about the murder. A 23-year-old and a 22-year-old, both from Bristol, were held under the Public Order Act on suspicion of inciting racial or religious hatred. Detective Inspector Ed Yaxley of Avon and Somerset Police said: "These comments were directed against a section of our community. Comments such as these are completely unacceptable and only cause more harm to our community in Bristol. "People should stop and think about what they say on social media before making statements as the consequences could be serious." Two men, from London, were also due to appear at Thames Magistrates Court charged with religiously aggravated threatening behaviour over an incident in an east London fast food restaurant on Thursday. Labourer Toni Latcal, 32, was charged with religiously aggravated threatening behaviour and causing criminal damage while plasterer Eugen-Aurelian Eugen-Beredei, 34, was charged with religiously aggravated threatening behaviour. Surrey Police said a 19-year-old man has been charged in connection with comments placed on a social media website following the murder of the soldier. In Surrey, Mohammed Mazar, 19, of Balmoral Drive, Woking, has been charged in connection with comments placed on a social media website following the murder of the soldier. He was freed on police bail to appear at South West Surrey Magistrates' Court on June 11. Superintendent Matt Goodridge said: "Surrey Police will not tolerate language used in a public place, including on social media websites, which causes harassment, alarm or distress." Adam Rogers, 28, of Kingsman Street, Woolwich, has been charged by police after allegedly posting an offensive message on Facebook. He was to appear at Brighton Magistrates' Court accused of sending an "offensive, indecent or menacing message" online. Meanwhile, a 23-year-old woman has been charged with allegedly sending a "grossly offensive" message on Facebook, Hampshire Constabulary said. Michaela Turner, of Lumsden Road, Southsea, was arrested at her home after a post was uploaded at 10.42pm on Wednesday. The post has since been removed. A police spokesman said: "Following the terrorist incident in Woolwich this week, Hampshire Constabulary is working closely with local partnership groups to safeguard all members of the community. "This includes monitoring social networking sites, and we will seek to arrest and prosecute anyone inciting hatred or violence online." http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/terrorism-in-the-uk/10080300/Woolwich-attack-provokes-anti-Muslim-backlash-across-UK.html

Sharia triangle, police no-go area in The Hague

Zurm — Sat, 25 May 2013 05:25:22 -0400

Area two kilometres from city centre has become 'orthodox Muslim territory' largely ignored by authorities. There have been calls for an urgent debate in the Dutch parliament about the integration of Muslim immigrants amid claims that one area of The Hague, known locally as "the Sharia triangle", is being run by a form of unofficial Sharia police. The claims relate to the district of Schilderswijk, about two kilometres from the city centre, where an almost entirely Muslim population of some 5,000 people surrounds the El Islam mosque, fuelling criticism that the government has failed to ensure a proper ethnic mix in schools and local housing. One recent investigation, in which local people were extensively interviewed, concluded that Schilderswijk had become "orthodox Muslim territory" which was now largely ignored by the city authorities, by politicians and even by the police, on the grounds that it had become self-regulating. The investigation found that orthodox Muslims had become so dominant that they were dictating what people in the neighbourhood wore and how they behaved. "The norms of the majority are beginning to take over," it said. In the case of women, dress was a particular issue. One woman told how her daughter had been approached and told her short skirt was inappropriate, while her son had been called a "kaffir" - a racist term formerly used in colonial South Africa to refer to a black person - for smoking. A youth who had previously been involved in local gangs said that criminality had dropped off, not because of the police, but because he and his friends were "afraid of the wrath of Allah". Another man said he felt he was gradually being driven out of his home because he had a dog, and many traditional Muslims tended not to keep or favour dogs. A veiled Muslim woman, however, defended Islamic practices, and said dressing modestly would "do the locals good". She pointed out that women in the Dutch ultra-conservative, largely Protestant, Bible Belt also wore long dresses, and that shops there were closed on Sunday - as many in Schilderswijk were on Fridays. Local police chief Michel de Roos said: "We have no indications there is a form of Sharia police here. That is not to say it does not happen, but we are unaware of it." Last Tuesday, social affairs minister Lodewijk Asscher and right-wing Freedom Party leader Geert Wilders paid separate visits to the area, and are to report to parliament. http://www.irishtimes.com/news/world/europe/dutch-anxiety-over-sharia-triangle-police-no-go-area-in-the-hague-1.1404541

London Police Took 20 Min to Respond to Muslim Beheading, But Quickly Arrest 85-Year-Old British Woman for Islamophobia

Detroit Iron — Sat, 25 May 2013 00:46:03 -0400

May 24, 2013 By Daniel Greenfield Priorities, priorities. Witnesses claim it took London police 20 minutes to show up and stop the two Muslim killers. The official police narrative is something like 9 minutes for the unarmed police and 14 minutes for the armed police (those crazy Americans with their guns everywhere, really.)But when it comes to something truly serious, like protecting Muslims from elderly British women, then the coppers were on the case . "An 85-year-old woman has this afternoon been arrested after abuse was hurled at Muslims outside Gillingham Mosque. The pensioner was handcuffed and taken away in a van by officers attending the Canterbury Street mosque for Friday prayers. As worshippers gathered outside the venue, a woman at a nearby bus stop shouted: "go back to your own country". The arrested woman, from the Maidstone Road area of Chatham, was taken away by officers at about 1.45pm and is now in police custody. A Kent Police spokesman said: "An 85 year old woman from Chatham was arrested on suspicion of a public order offence." This woman survived WW2 and presumably learned all the wrong lessons about resisting fascism. But if she had been a Muslim beheading a British soldier, she could have just strolled away while the police took 20 minutes to come around. And the same police that could not be bothered, when it came to protecting Muslims from angry Britons shouting things, then no expense was spared and no time wasted . An extra 1,200 police officers were deployed on the streets of London after an impromptu English Defence League protest descended into violence in Woolwich, south-east London, following Wednesday's terrorist attack. EDL leader Tommy Robinson, was among a group of around 250 men, who gathered in Woolwich near the scene of the terror attack, chanting anti-Islamic slogans. Mr Robinson told supporters: "They're chopping our soldiers' heads off. This is Islam. That's what we've seen today." He added: "They've cut one of our Army's heads off on the streets of London. Our next generation are being taught through schools that Islam is a religion of peace. It's not. It never has been. What you saw today is Islam. Well that's a crisis. People are speaking the truth. Can't have that. If two Muslims butcher a soldier in broad daylight, the police will one day show up. But if 250 men chant that this sort of butchery represents Islam, then 1,200 officers have to be sent in to keep the peace. And by peace, we mean Islam. In Bristol two men were detained following allegedly racist messages that appeared on Twitter following the terrorist murder. A spokesman for Avon and Somerset Police said two men aged 22 and 23 were being questioned over the incident. He said: "The men were arrested under the Public Order Act on suspicion of inciting racial or religious hatred. They are currently in custody. Our enquiries into these comments continue." If the authorities had been similarly motivated to take in Muslims who incite racial and religious hated in the name of Islam, the attack in London would never have happened. But why bother learning any lessons? Just shoot the messenger. The spokesman added: "These comments were directed against a section of our community. Comments such as these are completely unacceptable and only cause more harm to our community in Bristol. "People should stop and think about what they say on social media before making statements as the consequences could be serious." Yes, do stop and think. You wouldn't want to end up in jail for asking why the authorities are ignoring Muslim terrorism. http://frontpagemag.com/2013/dgreenfield/london-police-took-20-min-to-respond-to-muslim-attack-but-arrest-85-year-old-british-woman-for-islamophobia-immediately/

A 23-year-old and a 22-year-old, both from Bristol, were taken into custody earlier today after making the remarks, which were allegedly of a racist or anti-religious nature. Avon and Somerset Police said they received a number of complaints about the posts and confirmed the men were being held under the Public Order Act on suspicion of inciting racial or religious hatred. They warned users of the micro-blogging site to think before they tweet in the wake of the street killing of drummer Lee Rigby in a suspected terrorist attack.

British Police Rush to Arrest 85 Year Old Lady Shouting Outside of UK Mosque..

Woman, 85, arrested after abuse hurled at Muslims outside Gillingham mosque in wake of Woolwich terror murder http://www.kentonline.co.uk/medway_messenger/news/Friday-prayers-patrol-1128 lcox@thekmgroup.co.uk A high-profile police presence at Gillingham Mosque in the wake of the Woolwich murder An 85-year-old woman has this afternoon been arrested after abuse was hurled at Muslims outside Gillingham Mosque. The pensioner was handcuffed and taken away in a van by officers attending the Canterbury Street mosque for Friday prayers. As worshippers gathered outside the venue, a woman at a nearby bus stop shouted: "go back to your own country". The arrested woman, from the Maidstone Road area of Chatham, was taken away by officers at about 1.45pm and is now in police custody. A Kent Police spokesman said: "An 85 year old woman from Chatham was arrested on suspicion of a public order offence." It comes as a man appeared in court this afternoon accused of raiding the same mosque in Gillingham. And another suspect remains in custody today over an alleged racist attack - also in Gillingham. "She just started shouting, calling them names and telling them to go back to their own country..." - witness outside Gillingham Mosque Extra police patrols were outside Gillingham Mosque this afternoon as the force promised to take a hard line against reprisal attacks following the Woolwich terror murder. The abusive woman had earlier been enjoying lunch with her husband at the nearby KFC restaurant before waiting at a bus stop opposite the religious building. One witness, who did not want to be named, said: "She just started shouting, calling them names and telling them to go back to their own country. "Then someone started shouting back at her and it got worse, the shouting and swearing. "The police then came over and she was arrested. They put her in a van and her husband had started wandering off down the road, I don't think he wanted anything to do with it." Other witnesses said a woman ran down the road to tell the arrested woman's husband she had been arrested. He managed to get to the van before his wife was taken away, but was not allowed to go to the police station with her. Video: Heavy police presence outside Gillingham Mosque this afternoon Before the incident, many Muslims turning up for Friday prayers were pleased to see a police presence of three vehicles outside. One young worshipper, who did not want to be named, said: "I'm part of this community and I feel safe anyway, but it is nice to see the police presence here today." PC Dave Saunders greets worshippers at Gillingham Mosque before Friday prayers Last night, a 27-year-old man was arrested after an assault outside a shop in Gillingham. Police were called to the High Street at about 5pm and arrested him on suspicion of racially aggravated assault, threats to damage property and a public order offence. The man remains in police custody today. Damage inside a Gillingham mosque hours after a 'terrorist' murder A 45-year-old man appeared at Medway Magistrates' Court this afternoon after an attack at Gillingham Mosque on Wednesday night. Andrew Grindlay, of Granville Road, Gillingham, pleaded not guilty to religiously aggravated criminal damage and burglary. He was released on bail after a 40-minute hearing and will next appear at the same court on Monday, July 22 when his case will be send to Crown court. The mosque in Canterbury Street was damaged in an attack in which windows were smashed and bookcases containing copies of the Koran damaged. A door frame, lock and carpet were damaged, three windows broken, two shelves pulled off the wall and a copy of the Koran damaged. It happened just hours after 25-year-old Drummer Lee Rigby, of 2nd Battalion The Royal Regiment of Fusiliers, was hacked to death by suspected Islamist extremists in Woolwich, south east London. Drummer Lee Rigby was killed in a terrorist murder Extra police officers are out in force today to prevent potential reprisal attacks at Kent mosques during Friday prayers. The heightened patrols come as police promised a "zero tolerance" approach to anyone who targets the county's Muslim community. Assistant Chief Constable Gary Beautridge, from Kent Police, said: "We have made it clear what our approach will be to any reports of crime or disorder following the incident in Woolwich on 22 May. "We will be continuing that approach and will act swiftly to bring anyone into custody that is suspected of committing any offences." Assistant Chief Constable Gary Beautridge Mr Beautridge confirmed extra officers will continue to patrol the county. He said the force has not received intelligence to suggest any direct threat, but "additional resources will continue to patrol to provide a reassuring presence in potentially vulnerable communities". Mr Beautridge said: "We've looked at where we believe, working with other community leaders and other institutions, tension points could possibly occur. "That's a result of intelligence we have and we have put patrols where we believe they'd be best suited to protect the public. "These are additional patrols that we have put on the street. I've authorised additional patrols to be out there as a visible presence, working with community leaders." His comments come as Muslim community leaders and Gillingham and Rainham MP Rehman Chishti appealed for calm. Meanwhile, Medway Council bosses have met with representatives from the Muslim community in the Towns to offer reassurance.
