An appeals court in northwestern Germany has decided a contentious divorce case based on Islamic Sharia law. The ruling is the latest in a growing number of court cases in Germany in which judges refer or defer to Islamic law because either the plaintiffs or the defendants are Muslim. Critics say the cases -- especially those in which German law has taken a back seat to Sharia law -- reflect a dangerous encroachment of Islamic law into the German legal system. In the latest case, the Appeals Court in Hamm, a city in German state of North Rhine-Westphalia, ruled on June 2 that whoever marries according to Islamic law in a Muslim country and later seeks a divorce in Germany must abide by the original terms set forth by Sharia law. The case involved a 23-year-old Iranian woman who married a 31-year-old Iranian man in Iran according Sharia law in 2009. The couple later immigrated to the German city of Essen, gave birth to a daughter but then separated in 2011. A lower court in Essen granted the woman a divorce in November 2012 and the husband appealed the decision. The appeals court in Hamm sided with the woman because, according to the German judge, the couple agreed to abide by the principles of Sharia law at the time they were married and thus the case should be decided according to Islamic law, regardless of whether the couple was now living in Germany. The court ruled that the woman was legally entitled to talaq, an Islamic means of obtaining a divorce by reciting the phrase "I divorce you" three times. The court also said the husband had violated the original terms of the Islamic marriage agreement by failing to provide financial support for his wife for a period of six months. The ruling has opened another round in a long-running debate about the role of Islam in German jurisprudence. Supporters of the decision say it is fair and consistent with Article 14 of the Introductory Statute to the Civil Code , which states that the law governing a marriage generally should be the law of the country in which the marriage took place. But critics of the ruling say it should not be the role of German courts to enforce the arcane provisions of Sharia law. In a similar but separate case, the appeals court in Hamm announced in April 2013 that it had overturned a previous decision by a lower court in Dortmund and ordered a 33-year-old Iranian man to pay his estranged 29-year-old wife (also an Iranian) the equivalent of 800 gold coins as part of a divorce settlement. That case revolved around a couple who were married in Iran in 2001, immigrated to Dortmund and later obtained German citizenship. The couple separated in 2007. As part of the marriage agreement, the husband had promised to pay his wife a dower of 800 Bahar Azadi gold coins payable upon demand. The court ordered the husband to pay EUR213,000 ($280,000), the current equivalent value of the coins, in compliance with a marriage contract he signed in accordance with Islamic law, despite the fact that both individuals are now German citizens. In February 2011, Germany's Federal Labor Court in Erfurt ruled that a Muslim supermarket employee was legally entitled to refuse to handle bottles of alcohol on religious grounds. The case in question involved a 47-year-old Turkish man who had been employed at a supermarket in the northern German city of Kiel since 1994. The problem had begun in 2003, when the man was assigned to work in the beverages department, but refused to stock the store's shelves with alcoholic drinks, based on the argument that Islam forbade him from any contact with alcohol. In response, the store manager reassigned the employee to stock milk bottles in the dairy department, but the man complained that he was not accustomed to working in a refrigerated environment, so he frequently called in sick. The man was eventually sent back to work in the beverages department, where the conflict over the alcohol bottles intensified. The employee was eventually fired in March 2008. In a decision that generated considerable controversy in Germany, the court ruled that the supermarket was unjust in firing the employee and was obliged to offer him an alternative position that did not conflict with his religious beliefs. The court rejected the argument set forth by lawyers representing the supermarket that the man should have been able to do his job without a fuss because Sharia law forbids only the drinking of alcohol, not the touching of bottles. The court noted that the employee had become increasingly religious and that any direct or indirect contact with alcohol would have been offensive to him. In another case, in March 2007, Christa Datz-Winter, a judge at the Family Court in Frankfurt, cited the Koran in a divorce case involving a 26-year-old German woman of Moroccan origin who had been repeatedly beaten by her Moroccan husband. Although police had ordered the man to stay away from his estranged wife, he continued to abuse her and at one point threatened to kill her. While not denying the facts, Judge Datz-Winter nevertheless refused to grant the divorce, arguing that a woman who marries a Muslim man should know what she is getting herself into. In her ruling, the judge quoted Sura 4, Verse 34 of the Koran, which justifies "both the husband's right to use corporal punishment against a disobedient wife and the establishment of the husband's superiority over the wife." The ruling generated so much outrage that the judge was removed from the case. In Kassel, the Federal Social Court approved the claim of a second wife for half of her dead Moroccan husband's pension payments, which the man's first wife wanted to keep all to herself. Although polygamy is illegal in Germany, the judge ruled that according to Sharia law, the two wives must share the pension. In Koblenz, the Administrative Appeals Court granted the second wife of an Iraqi living in Germany the right to remain permanently in the country. The court ruled that after five years of a polygamous marriage in Germany, it would be unfair to expect her to return to Iraq. In D"usseldorf, an Appeals Court ordered a Turkish man to repay a EUR30,000 ($40,000) dowry to his former daughter-in-law, in accordance with Sharia law. In Cologne, a judge ruled that an Iranian man must repay his ex-wife's dowry of 600 gold coins, based on the Sharia law followed in Iran. In Munich, a Local Court decided that a German widow was entitled to only one-quarter of the estate left by her deceased husband, who was born in Iran. The other three-quarters of the inheritance should go to relatives in Tehran. The court ruled that because the man did not have German citizenship, Sharia law applies to the division of the inheritance. A growing number of German legal experts are now sounding the alarm about the rise of a parallel Islamic justice system in Germany. In an interview with the German newspaper Die Welt , Mathias Rohe, an expert in Sharia law at the University of Erlangen, discusses the rapid spread of Islamic law in German jurisprudence. He describes Sharia law as a "highly complex system of Islamic religious and legal norms" and warns, "We must be careful that we are not creating parallel structures." According to Joachim Wagner, a German legal expert and former investigative journalist for ARD German public television, Sharia law in Germany is far more widespread than most people realize, and that this "parallel justice system" is undermining the rule of law in Germany. In a 236-page book entitled " Judges Without Law: Islamic Parallel Justice Endangers Our Constitutional State ," Wagner writes that, in addition to the use of Sharia law in German courts, Muslims are also establishing a shadow justice system, with Islamic Sharia courts now operating in all major German cities. Wagner writes that Muslim jurists often seek to settle criminal cases out of court -- without the involvement of German prosecutors or lawyers -- before law enforcement can bring the cases to a German court. Settlements reached by the Muslim mediators often mean perpetrators are able to avoid long prison sentences, while victims receive compensation in line with Sharia law. When cases are tried in German courts, victims are often pressured to make sure their testimony in court does not lead to a conviction, according to Wagner. In an interview with the German newsmagazine Der Spiegel, Wagner describes the Islamic shadow justice system in Germany as "very foreign, and for a German lawyer, completely incomprehensible at first. It follows its own rules. The Islamic arbitrators aren't interested in evidence when they deliver a judgment, and unlike in German criminal law, the question of who is at fault doesn't play much of a role." When Der Spiegel asked why it was wrong for two parties to try to resolve a dispute among themselves, Wagner replied: "The problem starts when the arbitrators force the justice system out of the picture, especially in the case of criminal offenses. At that point they undermine the state monopoly on violence. Islamic conflict resolution in particular, as I've experienced it, is often achieved through violence and threats. It's often a dictate of power on the part of the stronger family." Wagner says political correctness is contributing to the rise of Sharia law in Germany. In an interview with the German broadcaster Deutsche Welle, Wager states: "I've studied 16 recent crime cases here with Muslim citizens involved. In almost 90% of all cases where Muslim arbitrators were commissioned, the perpetrators were acquitted by German courts or the cases were dropped altogether by the prosecution for lack of evidence. It's an alarming finding, and it throws a bad light on our courts."

Rabbi Yitzhak Shapira is one of the leading ideologues of the most extreme wing of the religious settler movement. He is known to be a champion of the "price-tag" policy of reprisal attacks on Palestinians, including punishing them for attempts by officials to enforce Israeli law against the settlements. So far the policy has chiefly involved violent harassment of Palestinians, with settlers inflicting beatings, attacking homes, throwing stones, burning fields, killing livestock and poisoning wells. It is feared, however, that Shapira's book The King's Torah, published last year, is intended to offer ideological justifications for widening the scope of such attacks to include killing Palestinians, even children. Although Shapira was released a few hours after his questioning last Monday, dozens of rabbis, as well as several members of parliament, rallied to his side, condemning the arrest. Shlomo Aviner, one of the settlement movement's leaders, defended the book's arguments as a "legitimate stance" and one that should be taught in Jewish seminaries. But in a sign of mounting official unease at Shapira's influence on the settlement movement, the Israeli military authorities also threatened last week to enforce a decade-old demolition order on Yitzhar's seminary, which was built without a permit. Dror Etkes, a Tel Aviv-based expert on the settlements, said the order was unlikely to be carried out but was a way to pressure Yitzhar's 500 inhabitants to rein in their more violent attacks. He said the authorities had begun taking a harder line against Yitzhar only since Shapira and several of his students were suspected of torching a mosque in the neighboring village of Yasuf last December. "Shapira is trying to redefine the conflict with the Palestinians, turning it from a national conflict into a religious one. That frightens Israel. It doesn't want to look as though it is fighting the whole Islamic world," Etkes said. He added that the rabbi and his supporters were closely associated with Kach, a movement founded by the late Rabbi Meir Kahane that demands the expulsion of all Palestinians from a "Greater Israel". Despite Kach being banned, officials have largely turned a blind eye as its ideology has flourished in the settlements. "It may be illegal to call oneself Kach but the authorities are more than tolerant of settlers who hold such views and carry out violent attacks. In fact, what Kahane was doing in the 1980s seems like child's play compared with today's settlers." In the 230-page book, Shapira and his co-author, Rabbi Yosef Elitzur, also from Yitzhar, argue that Jewish law permits the killing of non-Jews in a wide variety of circumstances. The terms "gentiles" and "non-Jews" in the book are widely understood as references to Palestinians. They write that Jews have the right to kill gentiles in any situation in which "a non-Jew's presence endangers Jewish lives" even if the gentile is "not at all guilty for the situation that has been created". The book sanctions the killing of non-Jewish children and babies: "There is justification for killing babies if it is clear that they will grow up to harm us, and in such a situation they may be harmed deliberately, and not only during combat with adults." The rabbis suggest that harming the children of non-Jewish leaders is justified if it is likely to bring pressure to bear on them to change policy. The authors also advocate committing "cruel deeds to create the proper balance of terror" and treating all members of an "enemy nation" as targets for retaliation, even if they are not directly participating in hostile activities. The rabbis appear to be offering justifications in Jewish law for collective punishment and other war crimes of the kind committed by the Israeli army in its attack on Gaza in the winter of 2008. Pamphlets similarly calling on soldiers to "show no mercy" were distributed by the army's rabbinate as troops prepared for the Gaza operation, in which 1,400 Palestinians, the majority of them civilians, were killed. Religious settlers have come to dominate many combat units. An investigation last year by Yesh Din, an Israeli human rights group, found Shapira's seminary had received government funds worth at least $300,000 in recent years. American and British groups have also contributed tens of thousands of dollars in tax-deductible donations. According to the Jerusalem Post newspaper, the Yitzhar settlers have responded to the demolition order against their seminary by threatening to publish documents showing that the housing and transport ministries were closely involved in the project too. The settlers have repeatedly rampaged through nearby Palestinian villages, most notoriously in September 2008, when they were filmed shooting at homes in Assira al-Kabaliya, smashing properties and daubing Stars of David on homes. Ehud Olmert, the prime minister of the time, termed the settlers' actions a "pogrom". The same year a religious student from Yitzhar was arrested for firing home-made rockets at Palestinian villages close by. In April, Yitzhar's settlers marched through the village of Huwara and pelted a Palestinian family's home with stones in "reprisal" for the arrest of 11 of their number. A settler from Yitzhar was questioned last month over the fatal shooting of a 16-year-old Palestinian, Aysar Zaban, in May, reportedly after stones were thrown at the settler's car. The teenager was shot in the back. Last week, the settlers attacked Burin, shooting at villagers and burning fields. In most of these cases, the settlers who were arrested were released a short time later either by the police or the courts. In January, a Jerusalem judge freed Rabbi Shapira for lack of evidence in the arson attack on the mosque. Yitzhak Ginsburg, an authority on Jewish law and a mentor to Shapira, was questioned by police last Thursday over his endorsement of the book. In the past Ginsburg has praised Baruch Goldstein, a settler who opened fire in Hebron's Ibrahimi mosque in 1994, killing 29 Palestinian worshippers. In 2003 Ginsburg was accused of incitement for publishing a book that called for the expulsion of Palestinians from Israel and the occupied territories, but the charges were dropped after he issued a "clarification statement". A group calling itself "Students of Yitzhak Ginsburg" recently distributed a leaflet urging Israeli soldiers to "spare your lives and the lives of your friends and show no concern for a population that surrounds us and harms us". Kach was founded in 1971 by the late Meir Kahane, an American rabbi who immigrated to Israel. He won a seat in the Israeli parliament in 1984 on a platform of expelling all Palestinians from Israel and the occupied territories. As an MP, he drafted legislation to revoke the Israeli citizenship of non-Jews and ban sexual relations between Jews and gentiles. The political party was banned from running for the Israeli parliament in 1988 and the movement was outlawed six years later. Although the group is considered a terrorist organization in the United States and most of Europe, its ideology has been allowed to thrive in the settlements. Today, dozens of rabbis espouse an interpretation of Jewish religious law identical to or worse than Kahane's. Michael Ben Ari, a former Kach leader, was elected as an MP last year for the far-right National Union party, which holds four seats in the 120-member parliament. Avigdor Lieberman, who leads the parliament's third largest party and is foreign minister, briefly joined the party before it was banned. His own party's anti-Arab "No loyalty, no citizenship" program includes echoes of Kahane's ideology.

People wondered why "this little Mexican kid" was singing the National Anthem; others questioned his citizenship status. "Is this the American National Anthem or the Mexican Hat Dance? Get this lil kid out of here," tweeted Steven David (@A1R_STEVEN). A Twitter hashtag - #GoHome - popped up. Ironic, because Sebastien, hailed as "the boy with the golden voice" last year when he competed on "America's Got Talent," was born and raised in San Antonio, a self-described "true San Antonio Spurs fan." And he was just doing the team a favor But a week later and surrounded by and totally flanked by the proud Spurs team members, the Heat and Mayor Juli'an Castro, who introduced him, Sebastien received a deafening reception. The Spurs organization invited the singer back for a repeat performance to send a signal. Game 3 on Tuesday while wearing his charro traje, the traditional garb of mariachi singers. "It was kind of messed-up," said 13-year-old Julia Castillo, who came to the game wearing a Mexican sombrero to cheer him on. Once again, the little mariachi nailed it, showing why he was such a hit last year on NBC's "America's Got Talent." Spurs coach Gregg Popovich and Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra congratulated him afterwards. Players cheered. Many praised the Spurs and the NBA for bringing him back. http://www.kansascity.com/2013/06/13/4291546/reports-sebastien-de-la-cruz-to.html#storylink=cpy http://www.digtriad.com/news/article/288038/1/Sebastian-De-La-Cruz-Unfazed-By-Racist-Comments-Sings-National-Anthem http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=5fe_1371418796 Thickhanger There Are Always Two Sides To A Story But The Other Side To This Story Is Very Difficult To Find music,song,racisim,hate,immigration,WTF,Thickhanger, Sat, 15 Jun 2013 16:55:37 -0400 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=26c_1371329489 Detroit Iron The former vice presidential nominee was talking at the Faith and Freedom Coalition Conference on Saturday She rejected calls for an immigration overhaul - including the path to citizenship for immigrants in the country illegally She warned 'the good old boys' in the GOP leadership that she wouldn't tone down her aggressive conservative rhetoric She said recent scandals involving the IRS and the NSA make the country feel 'so Orwellian around here, you know, "1984'" On Monday she starts on 'Fox and Friends' as a commentator By DAILY MAIL REPORTER PUBLISHED: 14:39 EST, 15 June 2013 UPDATED: 15:35 EST, 15 June 2013 Former vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin has criticized the Obama administration's decision to supply weapons to the rebels in the civil war in Syria, arguing that the U.S. should 'Let Allah sort it out' until there is a stronger leader in the White House. 'Militarily, where is our commander in chief? We're talking now more new interventions. I say until we know what we're doing, until we have a commander and chief who knows what he's doing, well, let these radical Islamic countries who aren't even respecting basic human rights, where both sides are slaughtering each other as they scream over an arbitrary red line, "Allah Akbar," I say until we have someone who knows what they're doing, I say let Allah sort it out,' Palin said at the Faith and Freedom Coalition Conference on Saturday. The White House confirmed on Thursday that it had conclusive evidence that Syrian President Bashar Assad's regime has used chemical weapons against rebel forces. The use of weapons such as the nerve agent sarin crosses what President Barack Obama has called a 'red line' that would trigger greater American involvement in the crisis. Obama discussed the civil war in Syria with European leaders in a teleconference on Friday, and the issue is expected to dominate much of the conversation at next week's G-8 Summit in Northern Ireland. The White House is now considering arming the opposition fighters and enforcing a no-fly zone that could cost an estimated $50 million a day. The final speaker at the three-day Faith and Freedom Coalition Conference, former Alaska Gov. Palin rejected calls for an immigration overhaul that includes a path to citizenship for immigrants in the country illegally. Palin, who is rejoining Fox News Channel as an analyst less than half a year after they decided to part ways, also called Washington, D.C. 'one hot mess,' reports ABC News . She also offered a warning to 'the good old boys' in the GOP leadership who are calling for conservative activists to tone down aggressive rhetoric. 'You do not marginalize, you don't discredit and dismiss, every day average hard-working Americans - those who are part of that grass-roots tea party movement,' she said. 'Just let them tell us to sit down and shut up,' Palin said later, 'which I refuse to do.' She also took a swipe at another speaker at the conservative forum, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, who argued Friday that one of the reasons to support the Senate's immigration reform plan is because 'Immigrants are more fertile.' 'I think it's kind of dangerous territory, territory to want to debate this whole one race's fertility rate over another, and I say this from someone who's kind of fertile herself,' Palin said. 'I don't think that's where we want to go in deciding how will we incentivize the hardworking responsible families who want to live in the light, follow the law, become Americans, versus those whose very first act on our soil is to break the law? There are different ways that we can debate this.' As she warned the conservative crowd of 'tyranny' in government, Palin said that the recent scandals involving the Internal Revenue Service and the National Security Agency make the country feel 'so Orwellian around here, you know, "1984.'" Palin's first appearance since returning to Fox is scheduled for Monday on the 'Fox &amp; Friends' morning show - on the same day CNN is premiering a morning show to great fanfare. Fox and Palin parted ways in January after she had worked there for three years as a contributor. They had talked about renewing their contract, but it didn't happen. Money may have been a factor: Palin was signed for a reported $1 million a year when she originally joined Fox less than two years after being John McCain's running mate. Fox News chief Roger Ailes said in a statement: 'I've had several conversations with Governor Palin in the past few weeks about her rejoining FOX News as a contributor. 'I have great confidence in her and am pleased that she will once again add her commentary to our programming. 'I hope she continues to speak her mind.' Palin also hit headlines this week for blasting comedian Bill Maher on Twitter Wednesday, saying she hopes his 'lily white a**' gets flattened, after he reportedly made a joke directed at her 5-year-old special needs son. Palin learned of the alleged joke from a conservative writer for Breitbart News, who attended Maher's stand-up show in The Pearl concert venue at The Palms Hotel in Las Vegas on Saturday. The writer, Ron Futrell, wrote in a blog that he attended the show with friends and became inflamed when Maher made a comment referring to Palin's son Trig, who has Downs Syndrome, as 'retarded.'

So is his America. If you find that declaration sad, or possibly slanderous, you probably have fond memories of "the way we were" during a supposedly kinder and gentler time before the civil rights movement, women's lib and cellphones. If you don't shed tears over that America, you may have grown up as I did -- oppressed by the strictures of a social and political system that didn't show much respect to those who were not white male Christians. Either way, the overwhelmingly white nation that Rockwell depicted in his sentimental paintings is gone. (I intend no disrespect to Rockwell, whose portrait of 6-year-old Ruby Bridges integrating a New Orleans school stands out in civil rights iconography.) Just last week, new data from the U.S. Census Bureau confirmed a trend long in evidence: The nation continues, inexorably, to grow darker. For the year ending July 1, 2012, deaths among non-Hispanic whites exceeded births, the Census Bureau reported. The majority of births in this country are now to blacks, Asians and Latinas. That trend helps to explain the discomfort among older conservative voters with immigration, which has been the driver of the nation's increasing diversity. They see the country in which they grew up, in which they held the political, social and economic power, slipping away, becoming a place with which they are unfamiliar. Their anxiety boils down to a misplaced fear that they will be strangers in their own land. Their misapprehensions are stoked and amplified by the right-wing media axis, which has spent years defining undocumented workers as barbarians at the gate and all people of color as suspect. Even as support grows in mainstream America for legalizing undocumented immigrants, the pit bulls of the right continue to denounce any attempt at comprehensive immigration reform as an unjustified "amnesty" to lawbreakers. Rich Lowry, editor of National Review, the magazine founded by William Buckley, says so. So does former South Carolina Sen. Jim DeMint, now head of the conservative Heritage Foundation. Rush Limbaugh, as usual, doesn't attempt subtlety as he argues that conservative voters would lose all political clout if undocumented immigrants gain citizenship: "There are legitimate fears that ... Republicans/conservatives are gonna end up ... outnumbered." If Limbaugh conflates conservatives with his listeners, he's right. But they are dwindling, anyway. The Limbaugh audience, like the GOP primary voter, skews older. Looking toward voting patterns 10 to 20 years from now, Republican strategists have fretted over the party's failure to appeal to younger voters. One of the ways in which the GOP alienates younger Americans is with its harsh rhetoric and unwelcoming policies toward those who crossed the border illegally. According to a 2009 Washington Post/ABC News poll, 73 percent of Americans ages 18 to 29 support giving them a path toward legal status. Younger Americans have grown up in a more diverse nation, so they are far less likely to see those with darker skin and different accents as a threat. But there are good reasons for older white Americans to welcome immigrants, too -- whether or not they entered the country with legal documents. Without them, the United States would be doomed to the kind of demographic "bust" that countries from Japan to Russia are experiencing, with birthrates so low that the population is not reproducing itself. That has all sorts of dire economic consequences. For one thing, there aren't enough younger workers to support all the retirees. Japan's long-running economic malaise has several causes, but its aging population -- exacerbated by its hostility to immigrants -- is surely one of them. Whatever the long-term problems with our Social Security and Medicare programs, they'd be far worse without the Latinos, Asians and Africans who have revitalized rundown neighborhoods, invigorated popular culture and shared in the American Dream. As Brookings Institution demographer William Frey told The New York Times, the new census figures make "more vivid than ever the fact that we will be reliant on younger minorities and immigrants for our future demographic and economic growth." Their vitality ought to be welcomed. http://news.yahoo.com/nation-welcome-darkening-demographic-050119341.html http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=6dd_1371293276 Detroit Iron NATION SHOULD WELCOME DARKENING DEMOGRAPHIC America Thu, 13 Jun 2013 23:49:14 -0400 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=337_1371181318 omniradar I,m sick of these bastards presuming this is good for all citizens !!!! Senior politicians from across the political divide have united to call for UK security services to be given greater internet monitoring powers. In a letter to The Times newspaper three former Labour home secretaries, three senior Tories and one Liberal Democrat urge changes. They say "coalition niceties" must not hinder counter terror efforts. A bill allowing the monitoring of all UK citizens' internet use was dropped after Liberal Democrat opposition. However, following the killing of Drummer Lee Rigby in Woolwich there have been calls for the Communications Data Bill, dubbed the "snoopers' charter" by opponents, which was shelved in May to be revived. Quote from letter issued by Jack Straw, David Blunkett, Alan Johnson, Lord Baker, Lord King, and Lord Carlile The letter was signed by former Labour home secretaries Jack Straw, David Blunkett and Alan Johnson, along with former Conservative home secretary Lord Baker and defence secretary Lord King, and Liberal Democrat Lord Carlile, who until 2011 was the independent reviewer of government anti-terror laws. In issuing the letter Mr Straw teamed up with Ben Wallace, the MP for Wyre and Preston North and parliamentary aide to minister without portfolio Ken Clarke. As a parliamentary aide Mr Wallace must not differ from the government position. The letter, which was passed to Newsnight and which will be published in The Times on Friday, puts renewed pressure on the deputy prime minister, Nick Clegg, whose party claimed a month ago they would not allow the bill to become law while the Liberal Democrats were in government. It also shows support amongst backers of the bill is undiminished, despite claims British security services used information gathered on UK citizens by Prism - the US secret intelligence programme revealed last week. Instead, referring to the recent murder of Drummer Rigby, they write: "When such a threat reveals itself, government has a duty to ensure they can do all they can to counter it." Without Liberal Democrat support in parliament, the Conservatives alone could not get the bill on to the statute book, but this letter is the first sign that Labour politicians are prepared to combine in principle with the Conservative party to help ensure the security services are given the new powers. In an attack on Liberal Democrat opposition, they write: "Coalition niceties and party politics must not get in the way of giving our security services the capabilities they need to stay one step ahead of those that seek to destroy our society." They also accuse the Liberal Democrats of siding with the interests of large communications companies, writing: "We find it odd that many critics of the Bill prefer to champion the rights of corporations over democratically accountable law enforcement agencies." Speculation is mounting in Westminster that to avoid complicated votes in parliament, measures will be brought forward by Home Secretary Theresa May that are not presented in a formal bill, but instead use other means of achieving the same ends. The Communications Data Bill would have given police and security services access, without a warrant, to details of all online communication in the UK - such as the time, duration, originator and recipient, and the location of the device from which it was made. It would also give access to some details of Britons' web browsing history and details of messages sent on social media. The police would have to get a warrant from the home secretary to be able to access the actual content of conversations and messages. In April, Mr Clegg told his weekly LBC radio phone-in: "What people have dubbed the snoopers' charter - I have to be clear with you, that's not going to happen." "In other words the idea that the government will pass a law which means there will be a record kept of every website you visit, who you communicate with on social media sites, that's not going to happen. It's certainly not going to happen with Liberal Democrats in government." "We all committed ourselves at the beginning of this coalition to learn the lessons from the past, when Labour overdid it, trying to constantly keep tabs on everyone. We have a commitment in this Coalition Agreement to end the storage of internet information unless there is a very good reason to do so." But in the letter the Conservative, Labour and Liberal Democrat grandees say: "Far from being a 'snoopers' charter', as critics allege, the draft bill, seeks to match our crime fighting capabilities to the advances in technologies. "The proposed Communications Data Bill does not want access to the content of our communications but does want to ensure that enough data is available in the aftermath of an attack to help investigators establish 'who, where and when' were involved in planning or supporting it."rjs2662 13th June 2013 - 19:42 If you value security over freedom you will end up losing both +62 Comment number 24.

This war's sectarian nature has been nurtured by calls for Jihad made by Qatar-backed religious clerics such as al-Qaradawi, who is based in Qatar and holds Qatari citizenship, even though he is of Egyptian origin. Recent events show massacres of Shiites (Shia Muslims) and Alawites in Syria committed by Wahhabi Qatar-backed rebels based only on sectarian motives, following calls by al-Qaradawi for Sunnis to go fight Shiites in Syria. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=4da_1371074760 Eretz_Zen2 Qatar's Role in Igniting a Sunni-Shia Strife in Entire Mideast for Israel's Benefit syria, qatar, fsa, free, syrian, army, saa, arab, gulf, states, wahhabis, salafis, salafists, jihadists, jihadis, sunnis, shiites, shias, divide, war, strife, israel, nato, turkey, saudi, arabia, hezbollah Sun, 09 Jun 2013 00:26:48 -0400 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=c50_1370751956 helle ENG Subs 50 000 Ukrainian And Russian Veterans Ask Bashar Assad For Citizenship To Fight FSA http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=c50_1370751956 helle ENG Subs | 50 000 Ukrainian And Russian Veterans Ask Bashar Assad For <span class="highlight">Citizenship</span> To Fight FSA syria, fsa, saa Sun, 02 Jun 2013 06:52:34 -0400 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=5eb_1370169322 piruly Pi NOTES: On Race and Cultures (Pt. 1 of a series) Attempts at clarifying differences between race, culture, and citizenship.

As usual, there's a media blackout surrounding the event - except for some British papers as the meeting is taking place in Watford, UK. This is one of the meetings where REAL decisions are taken and were policies are agreed upon. Elected politicians basically take orders from these types of elite circles. Thanks to "conspiracy theorists", the meetings get a little more attention every year. However, the few media sources that attempt to access the 5-star Grove Hotel won't be able to see much. In fact, a "Great Wall of Watford" has been erected around the premises of the hotel. Some notable attendees at this year's conference are Google executive chairman Eric Schmidt, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, International Monetary Fund Managing Director Christine Lagarde and former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger (he's a regular at all these kinds of meetings).

The only thing I was afraid that the child does not choke, because I do not know how to go the whole procedure, but as soon as I turned back, she started crying and I knew then that everything was okay - begins his story Milan Golubovic (29) locksmith from Obrenovca , who yesterday morning I gave birth to his wife Sonja. Sonja Golubovic (22) of Obrenovca woke her husband Milan yesterday morning at 15 to five as she felt a pain in his stomach. - I immediately called the owner of the apartment and after I got a referral to the emergency room, about six o'clock we went to Belgrade. Somewhere in the deep, at the entrance to Umka, Sonja water broke. It is all the time talking about how to give birth, he can not resist. As she cried, so Master Stanko brakes instead of revs, and he was traumatized - the story of Milan Golubovic. The road from Belgrade to Umke Golubovic family seemed like an eternity. - We came to town, but Cukarici crowd. I saw that her husband will not izdzati to the maternity ward, and I said to the boss to draw and to park because I have that birth - talk excitedly Milan. As soon as the landlord of the apartment in which they live and Sonia Milan stopped the car, giving birth began. First, the feet, and then Milan's wife pressed the stomach and the baby was born. - When I saw the baby's feet, I knew I had to childbirth wife. People who were around me asked me if I was okay, because they say that I was completely yellow - recalls the wonderful moment Milan. While the labor-time, in the back of the car all the time sitting biennial Mia, the first child of Sonja and Milan. - It was quiet all the time, not crying, just sitting and watching what happens. When the baby cried, he just started repeating, "baby, baby, cry!" - Milan says, adding: - We will name her Elena,it does not have any special stories related to that name, It's just kinda nice - said Milan. After giving birth successfully, mom and baby to be transferred to hospital. - I am infinitely grateful to the people of "Frikom", which helped to go to the hospital.For ten minutes they arrived in Visegrad, and there were doctors and nurses waited because I had nothing to cut the umbilical cord, so it all had to do it immediately. When you have completed all the examinations, they told me that Elena tough 3,250 grams and is 52 centimeters long - said Milan and added: - Both my wife and baby are well, we often call them to hear that, and she keeps asking for Mia, how and what for. Sonja and Milan Golubovic live near Belgrade, have been married for two years, and in Milan says they met through Facebook. Milan working as a locksmith, and Sonja unemployed and still did not get Serbian citizenship because she was born in Bosnia. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=6c8_1370889261 Spookysox Locksmith who became a midwife:&quot; When I saw the legs I had to childbirth wife&quot; midwife,childbirth Sun, 09 Jun 2013 04:20:50 -0400 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=929_1370765654 aydeo The majority of Arab-Israeli citizens will tell you they have it pretty good, and would prefer living in Israel than in an Arab country. Moreover, a couple of years ago, when the PA threatened to annex eastern Jerusalem, the Israeli Office of Immigration was flooded with Arabs wanting to apply for Israeli citizenship. What does that tell you? By Dan Calic Once again we hear voices crying out that Israel is a "racist" state. Should we be surprised? Not really. Why is it that every other group of people can have at least one national homeland where they are the clear majority? Yet, if the same privilege is accorded to Jews it's called "racist," or the other famous term - "apartheid state." Israel is located in the center of the Middle East. This region is comprised of 22 Arab countries, which cover over five million square miles, with a combined population of more than 350 million people, over 90% of whom are Muslim. The 6+ million Jews who live in Israel make up roughly 1.7% of the region's population, so the Arabs enjoy an overwhelming majority of the regional ethnicity. The Jews and Israel have been under constant threat of annihilation since the day independence was declared in May 1948. Have the 350 million Arabs lived under such a threat from Israel for the past 65 years? Within Israel itself, slightly over 20% of the population is Arab. They enjoy all the benefits of citizenship. They vote, own homes, businesses, property, serve in the Knesset and Supreme Court. Plus, they are excused from serving in the army. Is there a single Arab country where Jews enjoy these same rights? Not one. The majority of Arab-Israeli citizens will tell you they have it pretty good, and would prefer living in Israel than in an Arab country. Moreover, a couple of years ago, when the PA threatened to annex eastern Jerusalem, the Israeli Office of Immigration was flooded with Arabs wanting to apply for Israeli citizenship. What does that tell you? So why all the talk of racism? Some may say Israel needs to be more "democratic." Well, in fact, everyone in Israel gets to vote. So why the complaints? It seems the problem is pretty easy to identify. The basis for the complaints can be based on only one thing: Jews are the majority and want to remain the majority. Danes are the majority in Denmark, Swiss are the majority in Switzerland, Muslims are the majority in 22 countries, but no one is accusing any of these countries of racism. Yet if six million Jews are the majority in a country which is the size of New Jersey this is deemed "racist," one cannot help but wonder what truly motivates those who make such accusations. Israel is a democracy which among other things allows freedom of speech. Thus, those who voice such complaints are allowed to and are protected under the law. Would Jews be allowed similar privilege as citizens of Arab countries? Hardly. I think the Arab citizens of Israel who complain don't know or appreciate how good they have it. They should be thankful for the right to speak out without the police banging down their door and dragging them off to a dark jail cell to be held without trial. If Israel is seen as "racist" because it's the only country in the world where Jews are the majority, let the accusations come, and consider the source of the accusers. If Israel acquiesces, the Jewish nation becomes extinct, which is precisely what the accusers prefer. http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4389583,00.html First,Last photos: Huda Nakash, Hot Arab model from Israel http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=929_1370765654 aydeo Arabs living in Israel prefer it over any Arab country Arabs,Prefer,Israel,Arab countries
