Itália: 6 muçulmanos presos por incitamento ao ódio

Isto é perseguição religiosa: eles estão apenas a cumprir os preceitos do islão: querem castigar os que colaboraram na apostasia de um muçulmano. Tudo normal, na perspectiva muçulmana. Incitam os muçulmanos a não se integrarem na sociedade italiana: tudo normal: o que os muçulmanos devem fazer não é transformar-se em muçulmanos ocidentais, mas sim transformar o Ocidente no islão ocidental.
Enfim: há que ler sobre o islão para perceber que estes homens não são extremistas, mas zelosos muçulmanos.

ROME (AP) - Italian police on Friday arrested six Moroccan men suspected of inciting hatred against Pope Benedict XVI for converting a Muslim journalist in Italy to Catholicism.

Stefano Fonsi, head of Brescia police's anti-terrorism squad in northern Italy, said the suspects allegedly banded together and met privately with the goal of stirring up religious hatred against non-Muslims, including the pope.

Investigators say they found literature exhorting Muslim immigrants against integrating into Italian society and saying the pope should be punished for having baptized the journalist during an Easter vigil ceremony in St. Peter's Basilica.

The investigation grew out of security checks ahead of a pastoral visit by Benedict to Brescia in 2009, but authorities insisted that their probe revealed no plot against the pontiff or other terrorism aims.

Brescia Prosecutor Fabio Salmone said there was "absolutely no" indication that the group had attacks in mind. "I rule that out," he told reporters. "There wasn't even a plan" to organize attacks, he said.

In 2008, Egyptian-born journalist Magdi Allam angered some Muslims by becoming a Catholic. After being baptized, he changed his name to Magdi Cristiano Allam. He had built a career in Italy as a newspaper commentator and author attacking Islamic extremism and supporting Israel.

Alemanha: avança a xariá

Um tribunal alemão dá razão a um muçulmano trabalhador num supermercado que se recusou a arrumar garrafas de bebidas alcoólicas.
Assim vai avançando a xariá e o islão:

Amplify’d from www.bivouac-id.com

Un tribunal allemand vient de statuer que les employés musulmans de supermarchés ne sont pas obligés d’approvisionner le rayon alcool.

Un employé musulman d’un supermarché allemand avait été licencié après avoir refusé pour raisons religieuses de mettre des bouteilles d’alcool en rayon.  La plus haute cour de justice en droit du travail du pays a jugé que le refus de ce travailleur était fondée.

Ce n’est pas la première fois qu’un employé musulman se pourvoit en justice en Allemagne pour réclamer le droit de pratiquer sa religion au travail. Un certain nombre d’affaires ayant fait grand bruit ces dernières années impliquaient des musulmanes qui voulaient obtenir le droit de porter leur foulard au travail.

Mais cette affaire-ci est inhabituelle et sujette à controverses : la plus haute cour de justice allemande en droit du travail a statué qu’un employé musulman dans un supermarché peut refuser de manipuler de l’alcool pour des raisons religieuses.

L’affaire concerne un musulman employé dans un supermarché de Kiel, au nord de l’Allemagne. Il avait refusé de mettre en rayon des boissons alcoolisées en disant que sa religion lui interdisait d’entrer en contact avec l’alcool. Suite à cela, il avait été licencié en mars 2008.

Dans son jugement de jeudi, la cour fédérale du travail d’Allemagne a confirmé que les employés peuvent refuser certaines tâches pour des raisons religieuses. S’il existe une tâche alternative qu’ils peuvent accomplir qui soit compatible avec leur religion et utile à l’entreprise, alors l’employeur est obligé de leur permettre de la faire. L’entreprise ne peut licencier son employé que s’il n’existe pas d’alternative réaliste.

L’affaire de l’employé est désormais renvoyée à un tribunal de premier degré qui devra dire si le supermarché aurait pu confier à cet homme une tâche alternative à accomplir. Si c’est le cas, son licenciement deviendra caduc.

Cette affaire a déjà fait froncer des sourcils en Allemagne. Des analystes ont rappelé que le Coran interdit seulement la consommation d’alcool, et pas la manipulation de bouteilles. Un éditorial en première page de l’édition de vendredi du Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, le principal journal conservateur d’Allemagne, a fait remarquer que l’employé avait apparemment eu la révélation de ses penchants religieux en 2008, il avait en effet travaillé auparavant dans le rayon des alcools du supermarché sans s’en plaindre.

Turquia: mosteiro cristão milenar em risco

Quando ouvimos alguém defender a adesão da Turquia à UE, devemos perguntar-nos imediatamente a razão de tal posição. Ignorância? Maquiavelismo? Ingenuidade?

Amplify’d from www.jihadwatch.org

Zenit News, a Rome-based international Catholic news agency, reports on the latest example of Turkey sliding away from its secular constitution, back toward the intolerance that characterized the Ottoman Empire. No, the Turks aren’t kidnapping first-born boys to serve as janissaries… yet. Here’s what is happening:

Not even the Mongols of the 14th century, when they killed 40 monks and some 400 faithful, succeeded in making one of the most ancient Christian convents in the world disappear, but perhaps Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan of Turkey, can.

The convent in question belongs to a church that suffered Islamic conquest in the 8th century, the Syrian Orthodox, and the story of that church and this convent is a microcosm of Islamic intolerance in action. The convent of Mor Gabriel in the region of Turabdin, in southeastern Anatolia, was founded in 397. Zenit notes that Mor Gabriel isn’t just an ancient church; known to Syrian Christians as the "‘second Jerusalem,’ Mor Gabriel is in fact the See of the Metropolitan Mor Timotheus Samuel Aktas and the cultural and spiritual center of the dwindling Syro-Orthodox community of Turkey and of numerous Syriacs who've emigrated to the West. Just 50 years ago, some 130,000 Syriacs lived in the region of Turabdin… but today their number has decreased to just a few thousand.” Indeed, the once thriving monastic complex “today houses a small community of three monks and 14 sisters.” Now the Islamic supremacists who are inexorably taking power in Turkey (thanks to democratic “reforms”) want to seize and liquidate what little is left of this ancient Christian community. Zenit cites a concerted campaign against Mor Gabriel “initiated in 2008 by the leaders of three Kurdish villages dominated by a tribe supported in Parliament by one of their leaders, Suleyman Celebi, who is a Parliamentarian with the pro-Islamic ruling party of Erdogan.” The Kurds are accusing the monks of: Trying to convert Muslims to Christianity (so much for religious freedom in this aspiring EU member state), a charge the monks deny. Residing on a site where a mosque once stood, “an unfounded and even absurd accusation, given that Mor Gabriel well precedes the birth of Islam.” Not that such considerations of logic or history ever cut much ice with Muslims before. The “history” in question is part of the jahiliyya, in any case, so what is the point of studying it? Stealing Turkish public land to use for farming. Read more at www.jihadwatch.org

Egipto: exército ataque mosteiros cristãos a gritos de "Allahu akbar"

Usaram fogo real, feriram monges e operários de um dos mosteiros, impediram a evacuação dos feridos.

A «democracia» e a «liberdade» à muçulmana não são maravilhosas?

(AINA) -- For the second time in as many days, Egyptian armed force stormed the 5th century old St. Bishoy monastery in Wadi el-Natroun, 110 kilometers from Cairo. Live ammunition was fired, wounding two monks and six Coptic monastery workers. Several sources confirmed the army's use of RPG ammunition. Four people have been arrested including three monks and a Coptic lawyer who was at the monastery investigating yesterday's army attack.

Monk Aksios Ava Bishoy told activist Nader Shoukry of Freecopts the armed forces stormed the main entrance gate to the monastery in the morning using five tanks, armored vehicles and a bulldozer to demolish the fence built by the monastery last month to protect themselves and the monastery from the lawlessness which prevailed in Egypt during the January 25 Uprising.

"When we tried to address them, the army fired live bullets, wounding Father Feltaows in the leg and Father Barnabas in the abdomen," said Monk Ava Bishoy. "Six Coptic workers in the monastery were also injured, some with serious injuries to the chest." [...]

Father Hemanot Ava Bishoy said the army fired live ammunition and RPGs continuously for 30 minutes, which hit part of the ancient fence inside the monastery. "The army was shocked to see the monks standing there praying 'Lord have mercy' without running away. This is what really upset them," he said. "As the soldiers were demolishing the gate and the fence they were chanting 'Allahu Akbar' and 'Victory, Victory'."

He also added that the army prevented the monastery's car from taking the injured to hospital.

The army also attacked the Monastery of St. Makarios of Alexandria in Wady el-Rayan, Fayoum, 100 km from Cairo. It stormed the monastery and fired live ammunition on the monks. Father Mina said that one monk was shot and more than ten have injuries caused by being beaten with batons. The army demolished the newly erected fence and one room from the actual monastery and confiscated building materials. The monastery had also built a fence to protect itself after January 25 and after being attacked by armed Arabs and robbers leading to the injury of six monks, including one monk in critical condition who is still hospitalized. [...]

The Egyptian Armed Forces issued a statement on their Facebook page denying that any attack took place on St. Bishoy Monastery in Wady el-Natroun, "Reflecting our belief in the freedom and chastity of places of worship of all Egyptians." The statement went on to say that the army just demolished some fences built on State property and that it has no intention of demolishing the monastery itself...

Father Hedra Ava Bishoy said they are in possession of whole carton of empty bullet shells besides the people who are presently in hospital to prove otherwise....

"We contacted state security and they said there was no police available for protection," said Father Bemwa," So we called the Egyptian TV dozens of times to appeal for help and then we were put in touch with the military personnel who told us to protect ourselves until they reach us." He added that the monks have built a low fence on the borders of one side of the monastery which is vulnerable to attacks, on land which belongs to the monastery, with the monks and monastery laborers keeping watch over it 24 hours a day....

Índia: escola cristã incendiada por rumores sobre a conversão de um muçulmano ao cristianismo

Amplify’d from www.jihadwatch.org

Srinagar (AsiaNews) - Suspected Islamic militants set fire on Feb. 19 to the School of the Convent of St. Luke, a Protestant educational institution that began its activities about 17 years ago in Srinagar, Kashmir. The damage is estimated at 60 million rupees (958 thousand euro). The attack occurred at about 22.30 local time. Eight rooms, including classrooms, library and computer labs were completely destroyed. The school's principal, Grace Paljor, said they are currently compiling an inventory of the damages, which are now calculated for 60 million rupees. She also claims to have been verbally threatened, several times, before the accident, for being Christian. The school has 450 students. At the time of the attack it was closed for the holidays and so there was no harm to people. The school will reopen on 1 March. "The school administration is used to receiving threatening phone calls from time to time from extremists. They had threatened to set fire to the school, and have carried out their threat. After the Tyndale Biscoe was burned in August of 2010, the extremists have begun to target the Christian schools in the valley. We complained to the Munshi Bagh police station. " Sources have told AsiaNews that the school has been targeted because of baseless rumours about a conversion.... The President of the Global Council of Indian Christians (GCIC) has condemned the attack. Sajan K. George told AsiaNews: "Even the most mild and unfounded rumours can cause criminal acts of the fundamentalists. The school was burned down because of false and fabricated rumour of an attempted conversion. In September 2010, Tyndale Biscoe and Mallinson schools have suffered the same fate for the same reason. In November 2006, the GCIC coordinator for Kashmir, Bashir Tantray, was killed by Islamic militants. The Christian community has been targeted by religious fundamentalists. We demand that the authorities of Jammu and Kashmir protect Christians”. Read more at www.jihadwatch.org

Dinamarca: guetos fora do controlo das autoridades

Aarhus: Immigrant ghetto could become a 'state within a state' Translated from JP (h/t Uriasposten): The Aarhus municipality recently held a meeting on how to make the Gellerup immigrant ghetto a safer place. Several social workers of non-Danish origin warn of the developments in Gellerup. "We are heading towards a 100% parallel society, if we don't intervene now. It's become normal for people to clear up problems behind closed doors," says Wamid Hassan, coordinator for Unge 4 Unge (Youth4Youth), who is doing outreach work among children and youth in Gellerup. He was one of the speakers at the municipality's conference titled "Safety in Gellerup" and he sees a trend where imams are increasing being used to solve conflicts. The meeting was held after the heated debate this past autumn about ghettos in Denmark. The police then warned about increasing trends towards parallel societies, and later published statistics about falling crime rates to highlight the positive trends. Another speaker, Fadi Kassem, a social worker with the hotspot project, is also concerned. "We no longer call a spade a spade. We getting youth filled with hate, filled with contempt towards what we others represent. Therefore the police and the municipal authorities have problems in this area," says Fadi Kassem.

Tunísia: mais sinais de avanço da democracia: bordéis e prostitutas atacados

"Tunisian prostitutes terrorized by Islamists," from Ennahar Online, February 20:

TUNIS - Tunisia Prostitutes living in fear of another attack since the Islamists tried to burn down the main prostitution district in Tunis. "I no longer go out, I fear they burn me alive", says one of them. Armed with Molotov cocktails, "small bottles filled with gasoline" and "Long Knives" chanting "Allah Akbar" Islamists have tried to set fire Friday to brothels in the district of Guechi Abdallah in Tunis near the Medina. Dressed in jeans and leather jackets, according to pictures taken by mobile phones, they were dispersed in the meandering alleys of this neighborhood by police and military. In the courtyard of a brothel where dry sadly old fluorescent color panties, a dozen prostitutes in fine lines drawn with eyebrow pencil, trying to show "strong" in front of the "Islamist terrorists." Smoking cigarette after cigarette, Mariam, 35, "owner" of a brothel frequented, according to her, by "the Chinese, Germans, Italians, Algerians, Egyptians, French, Libyans and "others" is still in shock. "I was terrified," she said, that they wanted to burn us alive, it was too much for me and my colleagues who are my family." One of the prostitutes, Lamia, a 38 year old blonde, wearing shorts and black wool gaiters, wonders, she said, "why they did that."...

Why, they did it for Allah.

Islamic supremacists always claim the moral high ground against the West. Yet a moral calculus that decries prostitution while justifying mass murder and even regarding it as service to the supreme being is, at best, peculiar. It ought to go without saying that one may oppose and deplore prostitution while leaving the molotov cocktails and threats to burn people alive out of it. But there are a great many things that ought to go without saying nowadays that instead need to be articulated with ever greater force and precision. Read more at www.jihadwatch.org

Santiago do Cacém: Igreja matriz em destaque em França

Ou muito me engano (espero bem que sim) ou não tardará muito a que alguma organização de defesa dos emigrantes ou das minorias religiosas não-cristãs, ou alguma organização de historiadores progressistas em nome da memória histórica venha a exigir a alteração do brasão da cidade de Santiago do Cacém, por islamófoba, por incitamento à violência racial (sim, racial) e sabe Deus mais o quê, que a imaginação desta gente vai muito além do que o meu pessimismo consegue prever:

Beja, 21 Fev (Ecclesia) – A igreja matriz de Santiago do Cacém, no litoral alentejano, surgiu em destaque na edição de Janeiro de 2011 da revista de cultura e religião «France Catholique», num artigo dedicado ao tema «Santiago Mata-mouros».

A publicação refere, em particular, o alto-relevo de «Santiago combatendo os Mouros» da igreja matriz, incluindo duas fotografias desta peça e, ainda, a reprodução do brasão da cidade de Santiago do Cacém, distrito de Setúbal e diocese de Beja.

José António Falcão, director do Departamento do Património Histórico e Artístico da diocese de Beja, registou “com grande satisfação que tenha sido dado o maior destaque a Santiago do Cacém, cidade já reconhecida pelas instituições francesas como uma referência no Caminho de Santiago”.

“É uma verdadeira vitória para Santiago e para a sua importância histórica a nível mundial", acrescenta, em nota enviada à Agência ECCLESIA.

A diocese tem procurado promover a integração do Alentejo no contexto do Caminho de Santiago, que os peregrinos percorrem até ao santuário galego de Compostela (noroeste espanhol), e chamar a atenção para o centro histórico de Santiago do Cacém, considerado pelos especialistas de grande relevância monumental.

Greenfield: extremismo avança no Egipto e na Tunísia

E mais: nos EUA, parece ter sido H. Clinton a moderar os instintos revolucionários, anti-americanos, islamófilos e antidemocráticos do presidente Obama, que continua a ser muito mais leniente com a repressão exercida sobre os manifestantes iranianos que sobre os restantes, ou seja: os manifestantes que querem derrubar uma ditadura teocrática merecem de Obama menos apoio que os que pretendiam e pretendem derrubar regimes islâmicos moderados, ainda que nada recomendáveis.

in Egypt, the Muslim Brotherhood is predictably on the way up. Qaradawi gave his big speech to 200,000 in Tahrir Square. Naturally the call was to dismantle the security services and open up the border with Muslim Brotherhood/Hamas controlled Gaza. Like Khomeini before him, Qaradawi made a point of cloaking the whole thing in democratic language. The "revolution must continue" message however means, exactly what it meant the USSR and France, that the revolution will become a purification process of which only the most extreme will survive. Qaradawi's condemnation of "hypocrites" echoes Khomeini's inveighing against the hypocrites who are Muslims but do not want an Islamic state. Qaradawi is not being specific yet, but he doesn't need to be. As the chaos continues and the infighting among his liberal allies covers them all in mud, the Muslim Brotherhood will look like the incorruptible solution. I have seen reassurances that the Muslim Brotherhood can only take 20 percent. But 20 percent against a landscape of divided parties would still put the MB in the driver's seat. The Egyptian Twitterati are already scrambling for power and fighting among themselves. Wael Ghonim has already gone from martyr to accused hypocrite. And so one by one, the Egyptian left will break down, and the Brotherhood will inherit what remains in a temporary coalition. The Muslim Brotherhood is united while its rivals are divided. And that is why unless the military intervenes, it will win. In Tunisia, "democracy" has meant violent attacks on Jews and Christians.

TUNIS (Reuters) - A Polish priest was murdered in the Tunisian capital Friday, state media cited the Interior Ministry as saying, the latest sign of rising religious tension since last month's revolution. Mark Marios Rebaski was found dead at the School of Our Lady in Manouba where he worked, Tunisia Africa Press reported. His throat had been cut. "The Ministry of the Interior condemns this act and regrets the death. Based on results of the preliminary investigation, including the method of assassination, it believes a group of terrorist fascists with extremist tendencies was behind this crime," it said.

Of course he won't be the last. Once "democracy" really takes off.

Then there's this "Never Again" scene in front of a Tunisian synagogue.

So much for Never Again. In the Muslim world, "Never Again" read as, "Try Harder Next Time". The same liberal media which makes a fetish of Holocaust commemorations (so long as they're being used to teach us all universal tolerance) has nothing to say about. And what is there to say. This is Muslim democracy. Get used to it. That's the message for the Jews and Christians of the Middle East, any female Western reporters who broadcast without heavy security and really the rest of the world.

reports say that the more reasonable tone on Egypt was due to Hillary, and that Barry Hussein wanted an immediate endorsement of the Leftist-Islamist assault on Mubarak. Which shouldn't surprise anyone. The paper reported that Obama was "seething" over State Department officials's statement suggesting that the administration did not want a quick transition of power in Egypt, with President Hosni Mubarak stepping down from his office immediately.

Obama felt that the State Department "made it look as if the administration were protecting a dictator and ignoring the pleas of the youths of Cairo."

Oddly though the Twelfth Imam did not seem anywhere as forceful when it came to Iran. Now Obama released a statement condemning violence against protesters. See if you can spot which country he left out.

"I am deeply concerned by reports of violence in Bahrain, Libya and Yemen," Obama said in the statement.

Iran goes unmentioned despite the clashes there. And that's not a coincidence.

Obama jumped on Mubarak, but gave Ahmadinejad a free pass. And he's kept on doing it over and over again. Because the overthrow of a pro-American government serves his purposes. The overthrow of an anti-American regime does not. Richard Perle wonders why Obama isn't backing Iran's democracy movement. Because it actually is a Democracy movement. Obama is not a fan of Democracy, he is a fan of Islam and enthusiastic about anyone who hates America. Spain and the UK are protesting the detention of a Spanish diplomat in Iran. Obama has again made no mention of it. He did make the following hypocritical statement

"My hope and expectation is that we're going to continue to see the people of Iran have the courage to be able to express their yearning for greater freedoms and a more representative government, understanding that America cannot ultimately dictate what happens inside of Iran any more than it could inside of Egypt."

Except of course Obama did his best to dictate what happens inside of Egypt. He's made no such attempt in Iran. And in final bit of good news still, Iranian warships will be headed through the Suez Canal. Thank you neo-conservatives, you have truly made the Middle East freer and more stable than ever.

Armas zoológicas de destruição sionista

Arabs specifically and many Muslims in general know that the Jews, especially Israeli Jews, are brilliant and diabolical. They use their scientific knowledge to advance their nefarious cause, building ever-increasingly sophisticated weapons whose only purpose is to harass and annoy Arabs. But the Zionist brilliance is not limited to chemistry, electronics and medicine. Apparently, the Zionist Jews are experts at weaponizing animals to carry out unspeakable acts of espionage and vandalism. Every couple of months, the Arab media describes such schemes in detail. Here, for the first time, is the most complete known list of Zionist animal plots. And we’re starting with… 13. Evil Zionist Poison-Resistant Super-Rats In 2008, the official Wafa Palestinian Arab news agency — under the direct control of PA president Mahmoud Abbas — reported that Israel is using rats to drive Arabs out of the Old City of Jerusalem. “Rats have become an Israeli weapon to displace and expel Arab residents of the occupied Old City of Jerusalem,” Wafa reported. “Over the past two months, dozens of settlers come to the alleyways and streets of the Old City carrying iron cages full of rats. They release the rats, which find shelter in open sewage systems.” Wafa went on to quote anonymous Arab residents as saying that they had tried to poison the rats but nothing worked. Hasan Khater, secretary-general of the Islamic-Christian Front in Jerusalem, said that the goal was to “increase the suffering of the [Arabs] in Jerusalem by turning their lives into a real tragedy and forcing them to evict their homes and leave the city.” Palestine Today added that the rats were damaging Arab shops and homes. As we speak, evil Zionist scientists are breeding these super-rats. Poison and deadly traps cannot kill them. But more impressively, the rats are trained to distinguish between Jewish and Arab homes and shops in Jerusalem, and only attack the Arabs. This is no doubt the result of years of genetic research combined with

How are the Jews so successful at training animals to carry out such spectacular feats of harassment, espionage, and assassinations? Almost certainly the answer can be found in the Koran, where evil Jews were turned into apes and pigs. Clearly, that experience acclimated Jews to being part of the animal kingdom, and they learned over the centuries how to communicate with other animals and teach them to do their bidding. Which just goes to show that no matter what you do to the Jews, they always manage to find a way to make it work out for them. They’re as clever as a fox, aren’t they?

Egipto: ataques a casinos

Egypt Casino Attacks Blamed On Islamists

February 19th, 2011 Author: S. Taylor

Following Egypt President Hosni Mubarak’s forced resignation from office a week ago, one of the biggest concern was that religious groups would gain control in the country before democracy even had a chance to grow.

Although still early days, a series of targeted attacks on some of Cairo’s most famous casinos has signalled a possible shift to religious intolerance in Egypt’s troubled capital city.

Over a week’s period, the Europa, the Arizona, the Andalous, the Gandool and the Ramses have all come under attack by gangs of rioters hell bent on destroying these businesses.

For instance, on Tuesday the Europa Egypt hotel was attacked by “about 1,000 young guys” who either destroyed or pillaged property from the establishment, while a little earlier the Ramses casino was firebombed causing two fatalities.

As these attacks continue, “the ones with the beards”, as a policeman described them, were largely being blamed for the attacks on casinos labelled “dens of vice” by Muslim theologians.

As quoted by the Financial Times, the policeman then went on to explain: “We are all religious, its just that some of the people in our society, a narrow current of them, take this to an extreme. They destroy anyone who is not like them. They have been using the chaos to their advantage.”

In the Islamic faith playing games is fine but as far as money is concerned, it is decreed “There should be no prizes except for contests in archery, camel-racing or horse-racing.”

Consequently, the Islamic Sunni transnational movement known as The Muslim Brothers is being seen as a possibly perpetrator of the attacks in an attempt to enforce their religious agenda on the country.

However, the group’s Cairo spokesman Essam al Erian was keen to dispel the rumours and said they were not responsible and that it was probably anti-revolution police trying to stir up sectarian violence.

As the situation in Egypt threatens to escalate, outside observers are left wondering just who is responsible and exactly which direction the people’s revolution in Egypt will eventually head. Read more at www.onlinepoker.net

Egipto: violência contra os coptas como no tempo de Mubarak

Amplify’d from vladtepesblog.com

(AINA) — Muslims broke into the home of a Coptic family this afternoon and abducted their 18-year-old daughter Nesma Sarwat. The home belongs to the building contractor who built the controversial St. Mary and St. Michael church in Talbiya, within the Omraniya neighborhood of Giza. The abductors wrote messages on the home’s wall, the messages said “Islam is the solution” and “The Church has to be demolished.” The abductors also wrote the names of the other family members on the wall.

Neighbors heard voices, but no one saw the abductors as the whole operation took less than ten minutes and blood was found on the stairs and in the flat, reported Coptic activist Mariam Ragy of Free Coptic Voice advocacy. “I believe writing the names of the rest of the family might mean that their turn is coming,” said the neighbor.

St. Mary and St. Michael church was the scene on November 24, 2010 of severe clashes between State Security forces and Copts protesting over the closure of their church, during which the forces used tear gas and live ammunition against the protesters, resulting in the killing of three Copts, hundreds of injuries and the arrest of 176 Copts (AINA 11-27-2010);

The Family of the abducted woman called the security forces to the scene.

During the protests in Tahrir Square which, culminated in the ousting of President Mubarak, a period which witnessed the complete absence of the security forces from the streets, the congregation of St. Mary and St. Michael church was guarding the church, which was closed on November 24. On February 6, as soon as a few security officers came back on duty, they stormed the church and evicted the priest and the congregation who were keeping vigil there and holding services praying for peace in Egypt.

On September 15, 2010, an Islamic Jihadist Forum called Islamic Atahadi (Challenge) Network, which is said to be an affiliate of Al-Qaida, published on its website under the title “Images of the Church under construction in the Pyramids and how to demolish it.” The Forum showed photos of St. Mary and St. Michael church in Talbiya, which was still under construction, gave its members instructions on how to demolish the church by using sugar; “An easy and affordable way for the demolition of the church before its completion, no need for demonstrations, no need for the use of weapons or explosives, you only need to introduce certain quantities of sugar, yes normal sugar.” They went on to explain how to introduce reasonable quantities of sugar inside the forms prepared for pouring the columns, “because sugar affects concrete and cancels the chemical reaction which makes the sand and gravel hold together with the cement.” They advised in their step by step instructions that timing was very important in the process; the best time being immediately before pouring the roof. Dr. Naguib Gabriel, head of the Egyptian Federation for Human Rights Organization, presented on February 10 a complaint to the Attorney-General on behalf of the people of the Omraniya area, against the Governor of Giza, and the former director of security in, Giza accusing them of being the cause of the murder of three of the Ormaniya Copts and causing sectarian strife. On February 8 sectarian violence broke out in the hamlet of Elias Hanna, in Samalut, Minya province when some 80 Muslims attacked a number of Copts because they attempted to pray in a house belonging to the Diocese since 2007. The Muslim attack resulted in the injury of 5 Copts. Nearly 6000 Copts living in the hamlet of Elias Hanna and three other neighboring villages have no church. On February 16 the Church of St. George in Rafah was torched, the walls of the church had writing saying “No to Christians in Muslim Land” (video).

Sectarian tensions broke out on February 17 when Muslims attacked Christians inside the church of Saint Georges in the village of El-Hathatah near Samalout, Minya. This was prompted by the church building a roof over the courtyard between the church and its community services building within the fenced church compound, in order to make more space for its congregation. Muslims surrounded the church and hurled stones. The armed forces were called but without response, prompting the Coptic youth to defend their church. Read more at vladtepesblog.com

Bahrain: Daniel Greensfield aponta para conflito entre Arábia Saudita e Irão

A situação no Bahrain descrita por Greenfield é substancialmente distinta da do Egipto e da Tunísia.
Para além da divisão sunitas-xiitas, o exército é composto por unidades sauditas e de soldados paquistaneses, sem ligação afectiva, ou até com aversão, aos manifestantes xiitas, os quais dedicam aos paquistaneses uma especial aversão racial, bem enraizada no supremacismo árabe do islão, mau grado a sua pretensão universalista.

Não sei como é que é possível andar há meia-dúzia de dias a ler e a ouvir falar da situação no Bahrain sem encontrar nenhuma menção a estas questões. Ou, se calhar, até sei: à incompetência dos jornalistas, em geral - que se limitam a fazer eco do que é lançado pelas agências e pelos grande órgãos internacionais de informação -, devemos somar o viés ideológico que grassa nas ditas agências e órgãos e nos próprios jornalistas.
Vale-nos a rede e pessoas como Greenfield:

As the Middle East violence continues, we move on to Bahrain for a proxy war between Iran and Saudi Arabia. Saudi forces are battling Shiite protesters in the streets. Naturally the media is misreporting this as government atrocities against democracy protesters. When actually it's another Sunni-Shiite civil war in another Sunni country with a Shiite majority. If this reminds you of Iraq, you're pretty close. Except that Bahrain is more like Dubai with its own royal family, a business culture built on its proximity to Iran, and much of the country is actually foreign workers brought in by oil revenues. Talk of a democracy movement is senseless, when most of the work in Bahrain is actually done by foreign workers with few legal rights. And no one is talking about giving them voting rights. The royal family has tried to buy peace, and it has worked for the most part, until Iran and Soros came calling. Bahrain has been dealing with Shiite problems for a long time. That made it ripe for a takeover bid. It also meant that Bahrain couldn't exactly function as a democracy. But in human rights, Bahrain isn't the worst offender in the region by far. But then neither were Tunisia or Egypt. The countries being successfully overthrown are not the worst of the worst. And that's the farce of it all. This isn't about democracy. It's the old Sunni-Shiite war, with Saudi Arabia and Iran facing off in the middle of Bahrain. Saudi Arabia has put serious forces on the ground, tanks and troops, American equipment. If Israel were doing something like this, there would be UN resolutions flying faster than bullets. But Saudi Arabia gets a pass on running a massacre of Muslim protesters. If the State Department has had anything to say about what the Saudis are doing, I haven't heard it.

But then the US gave Kuwait a blank check to massacre and ethnically cleanse their own Palestinian Arabs after the Gulf War.

Back to Bahrain, the situation won't match up to Egypt or Tunisia, because the royal family doesn't rely on natives to serve as the police/army. Shiite protesters are taking on Bahrain's Pakistani forces and Saudi tanks. The Pakistani imports don't like the natives very much. And unlike Egypt, they're not quite the same religion either. Which means they have a lot less problems shooting at them. Without a common language or a common religion, and no personal stake in the politics, just getting paid-- they're not going to back down. Egypt and Tunisia have served as a lesson for what happens when governments don't go all the way. And even if the Pakistan mercs back down, the Saudis aren't likely to. The Saudi royal family has been badly panicked by the Iran backed assault on Sunni governments. They intend to make their stand in Bahrain. Bahrain has one more thing going for it. It's an oil producer. Its oil is running down, but its ruling family knows that it is much less likely to be subject to sanctions no matter what it does. Especially with Saudi Arabia in its corner. When the violence dies down, it can blame the 'foreigners' for doing the killing. The possibility that Bahrain will fall can't be entirely ruled out. The behind the scenes work on these protests has been carefully orchestrated by Soros affiliated elements within the US government, and international branches of the Soros organization, and it's locally backed by Iran and the Muslim Brotherhood. Bahrain is a test of wills between them and the Saudi royal family. Like a snake fighting a giant rat, it will be interesting to see who emerges on top.

As a preview, from Front Page Magazine, Nichole Hungerford shows us what we can look forward to from "democracy" in Bahrain

Pressure for governmental reform in Bahrain had been mounting since the 1990s. After succeeding his father in 1999, King Hamad instituted a number of democratic reforms, including restoring the parliament which had been disbanded for 27 years. He released Shiite political prisoners, and instituted constitutional reforms. The result? A powerful Islamist Shia party, al-Wefaq, became the single largest political party in Bahrain; many of its leaders were released from prison or brought back from exile from Hamad’s reforms. By 2006, the Islamists had secured nearly half (18) of the 40 seats in the Bahraini parliament. Since coming to power, al-Wefaq has called for racial segregation of South Asian residents of Bahrain, who were being harassed by Bahraini nationals. This was viewed as the best way to “deal with” the racial tension between the two ethnic groups. Steven Cook, a fellow of the Council on Foreign Relations, has called the group’s position on women “outrageous.” “In fact,” he continued, “one of the leaders of Al Wefaq wanted to pass a law such that windows in Bahraini apartment buildings— [so] you could not see out” (emphasis added). Outrageous is putting it kindly. Al Wefaq believes that all legal changes regarding the role of women and the family should be made by clerics, because they are religious matters. It has organized large campaigns against secular women’s rights movements. As recently as 2009, the party rejected a law that would set the minimum age of marriage for women at 15, claiming that it was “against the principles of Islam.” The outrages go on and on.

Pedro Vaz Patto: «Entre Sexo e Género»

A linguagem como terreno de luta ideológica:

Entre Sexo e Género

por Pedro Vaz Patto

In Público – 05. 02. 2011

Tem sido noticiada a proposta dos partidos de esquerda para que na redacção do artigo 13º da Constituição da República, onde se consagra o princípio da igualdade e não discriminação e se faz referência ao sexo como um dos motivos de discriminação arbitrária, essa palavra seja substituída por género. Tornou-se corrente, na verdade, a expressão igualdade de género para designar algo que anteriormente era designado como igualdade entre sexos ou igualdade entre homem e mulher. Não se trata, no entanto, de uma simples e anódina actualização linguística. É bom alertar para o alcance ideológico da modificação: exigem-no a honestidade e transparência próprias de uma democracia autêntica. Uma questão fracturante está longe de merecer o consenso alargado próprio de um texto constitucional.

Estamos perante uma agenda de afirmação ideológica. Está em causa a afirmação da chamada ideologia do género (gender theory) e a sua tradução no plano legislativo. Parte esta teoria da distinção entre sexo e género. O sexo representa a condição natural e biológica da diferença física entre homem e mulher. O género representa uma construção histórico-cultural. Há apenas dois sexos: o masculino e o feminino. Há cinco géneros (ou até mais, de acordo com outras versões): o heterossexual masculino e feminino, o homossexual masculino e feminino e o bissexual. O sexo é um fato empírico, real e objectivo que se nos impõe desde o nascimento. A identidade de género constrói-se através de escolhas psicológicas individuais, expectativas sociais e hábitos culturais, e independentemente dos dados naturais. Para estas teorias, o género assim concebido deve sobrepor-se ao sexo assim concebido. E como o género é uma construção social, este pode ser desconstruído e reconstruído. As gender theories sustentam a irrelevância da diferença sexual na construção da identidade de género, e, por consequência, também a irrelevância dessa diferença na relações interpessoais, nas uniões conjugais e na constituição da família. Daqui surge a equiparação entre uniões heterossexuais e uniões homossexuais. Ao modelo da família heterossexual sucedem-se vários tipos de “família”, tantos quantas as preferências individuais e para além de qualquer “modelo” de referência.

É um novo paradigma antropológico, uma verdadeira “revolução cultural” que representa a ruptura com a matriz judaico-cristã da nossa cultura («Homem e mulher os criou - afirma o Génesis), mas também com um dado intuitivo da razão universal (A espécie humana não se divide entre heterossexual e homossexual, mas entre homens e mulheres – afirmou a propósito o político socialista francês Lionel Jospin).

Pretende-se impor esta ruptura desde cima, desde as instâncias do poder. Ela não surge espontaneamente da sociedade civil e da mentalidade corrente. Pretende-se transformar através da política e do direito essa mentalidade. E o que está em causa não é um aspecto secundário, mas referências culturais fundamentais relativas à relevância da dualidade sexual. Admitir que a Lei sirva propósitos destes, numa pretensa engenharia social, revela tendências mais próprias de um Estado totalitário do que de um Estado respeitador da autonomia da sociedade civil.
