UK NEWS Muslim-only cemetery for 4,000 Next to village
with ONLY 613 residents Residents of Catherine-de-Barnes, near Solihull,
West Midlands, are objecting to Plans for a large, Muslim-only cemetery after realising
it would be for 4,000 people The cemetery would be able to comply fully
with Sharia law - which stipulates a method of bathing and shrouding the bodies of Muslims,
before they are buried with their heads facing towards Mecca.
Solihull Council has received several letters of complaint about the plans, which were proposed
by Mohammed Moosa. The objections focus on the size of the cemetery,
and the decision to place the patch on fertile land in the green belt.
A planning statement from Cemetery Development Services said: 'Few burial authorities are
able to facilitate full Muslim burials in accordance with the practice of Sharia Law.'
Bob Sleigh, a member of the town council, said there is sufficient space already available
at the borough's two main cemeteries.
He said: 'The issue here is whether there is an over-riding need and I don't believe
there is.' 'I do not believe this is an appropriate development
in greenbelt land.
W@8 'This is yet another example of not fitting into a country culturally. It isn't yet a
Muslim country so if in doubt send their dead back to where they came from for burial. We
don't have enough room on this island for the living let alone foreign dead.
One in ten babies in England is a Muslim One in ten children under the age of four
is now Muslim in England and Wales, the latest statistics show.
In the under-fives age group there are nearly twice as many people identified as Muslim
as in the general population, census data reveals.
One expert said the number of practising Muslims could soon outnumber the number of Christians
who actively worship in the UK. David Voas, Professor of Population Studies
at the University of Essex, told The Times: 'It's not inconceivable.'
Ibrahim Mogra, assistant secretary-general of the Muslim Council of Britain, said that
the large number of young Muslim children reflected the confidence that Muslims had
in the country, encouraging them to bring up families here.
'I just wouldn't want our fellow citizens to be alarmed by an increase in number,' he
said.
'This generation is very much British. They feel very much this is their home.
It's not about Britain becoming a Muslim country but about Britain enabling the practice of
Islam, which gives confidence to the vast majority of Muslims.
It's a great country to regard as our home.'
W@8 '*** -- it is where they get virtually everything free as well as being safely thousands
of miles away from the places which Islam has made unliveable in for some. We need to
stop any more Muslim invasions and start deportations or rules to make their lives a bit more realistic
in a foreign land. No Halal, No mosques, no polygamy, no benefits, no businesses or property
ownership -- alias like other non immigration countries.
Young woman sexually assaulted near church in De Parys Avenue
A woman was sexually assaulted on her way home from a night out with friends in Bedford
in the early hours of Sunday morning, January 5.
The 19-year-old had been in the High Street area and phoned her boyfriend to come and
pick her up. However, she decided to walk up towards his
home to meet him and when she reached the trees just past the church in De Parys Avenue,
she was suddenly grabbed by a man who pushed her over and pinned her to the ground.
Police say that while she was struggling with him, her phone rang and this seems to have
spooked the attacker as he ran away, taking her white Samsung Galaxy phone with him. The
woman was able to get up and fortunately was soon found by her boyfriend coming in to fetch
her.
The woman suffered cuts and grazes where she was pushed over. The offender is described
as an Asian man, in his twenties, slim built with a round face and short hair, and wearing
jeans.
Half of All Convicted Pickpockets on the Tube Are Romanian
Figures released by British Transport Police show half of all convictions for pick pocketing
on the London Underground are handed out to Romanians.
Information revealed through a Freedom of Information request shows out of the 5,280
reported pick pocketing incidents on the London Underground between November 1, 2012 and October
31, 2013, there were just 170 convictions.
Of those convictions, 52 per cent were Romanian...An estimated 68,000 Romanians live in Britain,
but there have been 28,000 arrests of Romanian people for serious offences in the past five
years.
W@8 Which bears out the W@8 comments that Romanians have been here for years illegally,
with or without the Schengen business! What are we going to do, send all the illegal ones
home to make room for the new legal migrants?
EUROPEAN NEWS 80% of Young Spaniards Depend on Their Families
Eight in 10 Spaniards aged 18-24 believe they will be forced to work menial jobs in spite
of their qualifications, and 60% are willing to emigrate in search of work, according to
a Reina Sofia Center survey released Wednesday.
Also according to the survey of 1,000 respondents, 80% said they are being supported by their
families in spite of their job training, 70% blamed the length and severity of the recession
on government and politicians, 20% said the situation won't improve for the next two years
at least, and 36% said the situation will only get worse.
Overall, the study showed the economic crisis is undermining the survival and integration
into society of middle and low-income respondents and of those who quit school, and that it
threatens the life goals and expectations of those who come from high-income backgrounds
and/or are still enrolled in university.
Turkey's Economic Development Does Not Stop the Plight of Child Brides
Economic growth and development in modern Turkey have not affected the ancient practice
of arranged marriages between teenage girls and older men.
According to the Interior Ministry, 134,629 persons under 18 were married off in Turkey
in the last three years. Of these, 128,866 were girls, a rate 20 times higher than that
of boys. Speaking to al-Monitor, Gulten Kaya, head
of the Female Lawyers Commission of the Union of Turkish Bar Associations, warned that "there
is an increase of 94 per cent in application to courts by families to get marriage permits".
Underage marriages have a strong impact on teenagers and are often linked to poverty,
lack of education or to religion. A recent study by Erhan Tunc, professor at Gaziantep
University, looked at marriages with minors in various regions of Turkey. Tunc's team
found that 82 per cent of child brides are illiterate.
This practice is most prevalent in Sanliurfa, on the Syrian border, where the proportion
of marriages with someone under 16 increases to 60 per cent.
And as in other countries in the Middle East, young brides usually end up with older men,
widowers, or even men who *** them. Turkish newspapers report cases of violence against
children almost on a daily basis.
W@8 it is the way of Islam and Turkey is ntirely an Islamic country not a European one!
European Court Vetoes Swiss Refugee Deportation The European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg
has decided that Switzerland is not allowed to deport an asylum seeker from Sudan, overruling
a verdict by the Swiss authorities.
The court on Tuesday vetoed the planned expulsion, arguing that there is a risk that the Sudanese
asylum seeker would be subject to torture in his home country after becoming politically
active in Switzerland.
The judges in Strasbourg argued that the deportation was in breach of the European convention and
that not only people holding executive positions in opposition movements are in danger but
also all those who are suspected of supporting them.
W@8 Why should Europe concern itself with the awful machinations of places like Sudan?
All these countries are being torn apart by the very people who run away when things become
too difficult. Send them all back perhaps they can fight to make their country better
instead of bringing our countries down?
WORLD NEWS Horrors of Al Qaeda Prisons in Syria Exposed
Torture, indiscriminate killings, and abuse in the manner if not worse than that suffered
for decades in the prisons of the Syrian regime have been reported by civilians and rebels
on their release from Al Qaeda prisons in Aleppo, in northern Syria.
For days, the Al Qaeda fighters of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) have been
under attack in the Idlib, Aleppo, Raqqa and Deir Az-Zor regions by an unprecedented front
of nationalist rebels and radical Islamic groups.
Some of ISIL's prisons have been opened by insurgents and released 'detainees' during
the clashes. According to Syrian opposition sources, prior
to the recent anti-Al Qaeda offensive, about 1,500 people were being held in ISIL prisons.
Some of the survivors of the inferno of Qadi Askar in Aleppo say that many of the detainees
were rebels from anti-regime groups — including members of radical Islamic groups — and
that many of them had been killed in jail. "They killed them brigade by brigade. They
[Al Qaeda] would have continued until the entire country was under their control," one
of the survivors said.
W@8 'And yet our papers are still full of warring anti Assad factions in our own back
yard and seem to be backing as usual the rebel faction. Tribes don't change and the middle
east will always be at war -- even more now that Islam is becoming stronger. Leopards
do not change their spots and cruelty to prisoners is endemic to their tribes. You see the Assad
regime and Saddam handled their countries in the appropriate manner -- fire with fire.
You don't bring a stick to a gun party do you? Well only in the UK!
U.S. has deployed military advisers to Somalia, officials say
The U.S. military secretly deployed a small number of trainers and advisers to Somalia
in October, the first time regular troops have been stationed in the war-ravaged country
since 1993, when two helicopters were shot down and 18 Americans killed in the "Black
Hawk Down" disaster.
A cell of U.S. military personnel has been in the Somali capital of Mogadishu to advise
and coordinate operations with African troops fighting to wrest control of the country from
the al-Shabab militia, an Islamist group whose leaders have professed loyalty to al-Qaeda,
according to three U.S. military officials.
The previously undisclosed deployment — of fewer than two dozen troops — reverses two
decades of U.S. policy that effectively prohibited military "boots on the ground" in Somalia.
Even as Somali pirates and terrorists emerged as the top security threat in the region,
successive presidential administrations and the Pentagon shied away from sending troops
there for fear of a repeat of the Black Hawk Down debacle.
In recent years, the Obama administration has slowly and cautiously become more directly
involved in Somalia. "We eventually need to establish a permanent U.S. diplomatic presence
in Somalia," Linda Thomas-Greenfield, the State Department's deputy assistant secretary
for African affairs, told a Senate panel in October.
"Ultimately, it is the security conditions in Somalia that will dictate when we can establish
a more permanent presence and we recognize that the time is not right to do this."
W@8 Home from home for Obama.
Florida citrus growers worry that deadly bacteria will mean end of orange juice
The sprawling citrus orchard that Victor Story toured recently sure looked like a steal at
$11,000 an acre. The investors who owned it were going to lose money, and potential buyers
such as Story might have stood to reap a handsome reward.
But as he bumped along the 40 acres of groves in a large SUV, Story was taken aback by the
sickly look of the trees. Their leaves were an inch shorter than normal and yellowing.
Full-size oranges were still apple green. Other mature oranges that should have been
the size of baseballs were no bigger than ping-pong balls.
"That fruit's never going to be of any value," said Story, 68, who has been growing fruit
all his life. He said his pickers wouldn't even bother to reach for it. "It's going to
fall off the tree. It's never going to get squeezed," he said. "These investors paid
$15,000 an acre for that grove. I know because they bought it from a friend.
I frankly don't think it will sell for $11,000."
What Story saw in the orchard in Polk County, Fla., wasn't an anomaly.
It's the new norm in the Sunshine State, where about half the trees in every citrus orchard
are stricken with an incurable bacterial infection from China that goes by many names:
huanglongbing, "yellow dragon disease" and "citrus greening." Growers, agriculturalists
and academics liken it to cancer. Roots become deformed. Fruits drop from limbs prematurely
and rot. The trees slowly die. The bacteria is spread by a tiny, invasive bug, also from
China, called Asian citrus psyllid. It acquires the bacteria while feeding on the leaves of
infected trees, then transmits it when feeding on healthy trees — akin to the way mosquitoes
transfer malaria.
Psyllids were first detected in a Broward County, Fla., garden in 1998 and spread to
31 other counties within two years. The Asian strain of the bacteria was discovered in 2005
just south of Miami. The disease ruins the look and taste of the fruit but isn't known
to harm humans.
Florida citrus, which provides up to 80 percent of U.S. orange juice, has been hardest hit,
but the disease — which also has an African and Latin American strain — also has been
detected in Georgia, Louisiana, Texas, Arizona and California.
It has spread to other parts of the world, including Mexico, India, sub-Saharan Africa
and Brazil, which provide nearly 20 percent of the orange juice Americans drink. In each
case, the impact to citrus has been devastating.
Worldwide concern prompted 500 scientists from more than 20 nations to gather in Orlando
last February for a conference on huanglongbing. Despite the fact that nearly $80 million has
been poured into research on the disease, scientists still don't know how to eliminate
the bacteria or remove it from trees.
W@8 Sounds like a dirty Chinese joke doesn't it? Yet another example of the sodding yellow
peril that is Chinese -- why can't they keep their diseases to themselves? Perhaps a pysillid
that kills Chinese only could be invented? We should never have allowed China to open
up and export anything -- most things that kill plants and animals and indeed people
originate in China.
Thought for the Day-Racists, Soaps, Propaganda and Brits!
Now we are a strange lot aren't we? We are exhibiting all the good and bad manners
of true islanders even though the rest of Europe seem Hell bent on making us either
a State or an annexe of Europe and behold the rest of the world are also intent on making
sure we, as island -- contain vast numbers of every nationality in that world -- so that
we lose track of exactly who we once were. Put this with a steady stream of propaganda
within our educational systems and media -- and the job is almost done.
The one telling statement that came out of the Sherlock Holmes series last night was
when the villain -- who is of course, white, fascist and rich -- came out with the premise
that 'the UK is a trial ground for the rest of the world and if it works in England it
will work for other countries' and that is one of the truest statements to come out of
the BBC in years!
Here we are sitting on a small island in the North Sea adjacent to Norway & Sweden on the
globe and if it weren't for the Gulf Stream we would be covered in snow most of the year
and it is certainly not our climate or friendly nature that attracts the millions of migrants
it has done -- it is our Benefits system and also our apparent ignorance of what accepting
these millions does to our own country over a period of time.
So our previously green and pleasant land is under invasion from the entire world and
only just now, this year have any vague rumblings of anti-immigration been heard from anyone
not a nationalist -- or in fact those who have spent their political lives badgering
and belittling the nationalist creed which has been mainly based on being anti immigration.
Now suddenly it is accepted -- and I find that very strange indeed and yet another facet
of the two faced Brit establishment.
Being a nationalist means you put your country and your people first when it comes to benefits,
handouts, jobs et al and by virtue of doing just that -- this means that anyone who is
not your tribe or partially your tribe is going to miss out and anyone who is coming
into the country will also get short shrift and there is a reason for this.
In practical terms, which we are only just cottoning onto in the UK -- you cannot give
to all the world all the time and ignore your own tribe -- it isn't fair and it isn't even
financially viable in this day and age. For years our various governments have encouraged
immigration from the furthest corners of the world, peoples who have no history with England
and share absolutely no cultural or religious ties with us at all -- and we have been paying
out for the privilege to boot! For at least 40 years we, the Taxpayers have
been handing out money to peoples from Asia, Africa and India and countries we had rarely
heard of before then in the form of help and benefits.
They have received money for cars, phones, interpreters to help them fill out forms for
more money, carers, social welfare help, houses adapted for their religious wants, polygamy
paid for and accepted in a Christian country, their children have been educated and further
educated for free and their sick and retarded cared for by our NHS and Social Services.
We have been bullied and told that all these people were necessary for our survival as
all the Brits seem to want from any migrant is a takeaway and the effect this has had
on our High Streets and towns and villages is enormous but has been steadily ignored
for the last several decades -- so as not to halt the flow from abroad or the unreported
invasion.
Now all of a sudden -- the eastern Europeans are taking the flack for all the mistakes
that our governments have made over the last 4 generations and wow we have suddenly woken
up to the fact we have strangers in our midst! However they are not quite as strange as all
the 'strangers' we have had colonising our towns and cities and hardly fitting in with
their very different dress, cultures and religions being painfully obvious to be honest.
But Hell now we have white faces who do not speak English very well and are prepared to
work not groom our children, fiddle benefits, take up drug running and gangs, bring in bush
meat and make halal meat de rigour for all, sell alcohol and drugs to underage kids, protest
at every titch and turn, re-build our cities in their image, become landlords that put
Peter Rachman to shame and indeed even let out their sheds, ignore boundaries and parking
rights of others and indeed if possible build over them and generally act in a third world
manner by ghettoising themselves as soon as they set foot on this land.
So excuse me if I find this sudden concern and very mixed messages from the main political
parties a bit farcical in the extreme.
Of course the media love it because they think it makes them look 'concerned' about us when
in fact the media couldn't care less about anyone but the bottom line and in fact have
been for years promoting the multicultural society for all it is worth.
So we are now seeing 'multiculturalism' in all its ghastly glory on the TV night after
night and the one point I would make is that throughout time, the one way one person or
tribe recognised another is from the appearance of that person or tribe.
You cannot get away from it, it isn't racist it is human nature.
If you are not unfortunately blind or have bad sight -- this is the faculty you learn
to use when very young -- your eyes. Why should you ignore the colour of a man's
skin in recognising that man? What is wrong with different skin colour?
You tell me -- we are apparently discouraged from using this facility in describing a person
or tribe and even in jokes -- since when did a person's colour or appearance take on such
a hallowed form?
Before 'racism' reared its head plus the multicultural invasion of our country, the Black and White
Minstrels were great, Robinsons Golliwog has always had a place in my heart and home and
we could laugh at Alf Garnett and no one had heard the word racist being bandied about
as if it were a normal sin. Chalky from Jim Davidson ruled the heart and
I still love Chalky without reservation and miss him.
I am sure the West Indians loved him too so who put a stop to Jim's comic career?
The Ooman Rites brigade or the Black Equality prats?
Certainly not the TV oompaloompas who insist on making Emmerdale something out of the Gaza
strip where I have seen more people 'passing for white' than should be necessary and marrying
'out' is de rigour. Coronation Street has two new characters,
one ex Emmerdale and passing for northern white and the other black, plus of course
a plethora of gays all fancying one another to which one girl commented on as being 'sweet'
and of course East Enders, which if it stuck to true stats would be totally Black, Asian
and Russian but has to make do with quite a few black characters all fancying whites
of course because we cannot have anything less than a black/white partnership or Asian
mix up. And as the Archangel said 'And thou must have
gays' and we certainly do -- currently in the form of the son of the new owners of the
Queen Vic. Soon he will be trouncing around with a sodding
handbag -- he has already let down the Square bicycle gorgeous though she is.
So our TV friends are obviously trying to get the message across -- we are a multi-cultural
society or words to that effect but I would argue with that.
If you have to justify something so much and harp on the positive facts then it means that
we Brits have not accepted that message wholeheartedly doesn't it?
In one breath we are told to look at people of foreign blood and mixed races without noticing
that they are just that. In short a subliminal message is being sent
out all the time, to our children, to our teens and to us -- accept, accept but don't
notice, don't comment and don't question. Like Stalin and Big Brother 1984 style.
Once you start to notice and question then the trouble starts.
Why shouldn't I notice new black faces in a soap -- aren't they proud to be black or
Asian or whatever? I don't particularly like massive amounts
of different races in my country but I don't judge them because of their colour and they
should not judge us for what we are.
Why are the black races more than any other afraid of being black?
In the States there is a 100 million dollar industry in hair straightening, false hair,
weaves and wigs and 80 million dollars of it is for the black population of girls and
women. It is the same over here along with the awful
false nails in zebra stripes. Now this is hardly celebrating one's ethnicity
is it? The only people to make any money out of this
are the white suppliers of the awful chemicals used in hair straightening and believe me
they send their little girls of 18 months to have their hair made 'natural', the Chinese
and Koreans with their bits and pieces and the Indians who take the hair from the Temples
and export it to the States and the UK. So in truth there is a form of slavery which
the blacks will never admit and they are bringing it on themselves.
If I were black and had a wonderfully shaped head I would wear my hair in a close crop
and be proud to do something no other race could do.
I had enough trouble at my school when my naturally curly black hair would not sit down
and I couldn't wear my beret and all my friends had long mousy pigtails which I wanted but
couldn't get -- so I understand wanting to be different -- but so much is made out of
being black and yet they are denying being black and no one can remark on them being
black either. Perverse isn't it when we in the UK are told
we must accept all foreigners and keep quiet about it except apparently when they are white
and European. The media must now accept that people should
be able to remark on someone's colour if they need to -- why ignore what we are being forced
to celebrate? If a *** is brown, yellow or black say
so. If a criminal is black or yellow with pink
spots, say so. Mixed race say so --if you notice if you step
outside the law and you are white it is all over the papers like a rash with pictures
of even your dog and yet no one must talk about the elephant in the room.
Now I cannot stand the Romas, not too keen on Bulgarians or Romanians or eastern Europeans
of any ilk -- but we have had the Arabs and Russians over here for years taking over London
-- so what gets me is the fact that we are still pro Islam in this country and it is
the Muslims who don't like the eastern Europeans and have history with them.
This is why the media is full of white English benefit frauds, streets where the only good
person is an elderly black man and the rest are evil Europeans and I know for a fact that
certain streets in Kent are full of Romas and worse.
This because the Europeans go to places where their pals went and Kent and the South East
and South West are prime targets as are the vegetable farms of Lincolnshire.
The Poles and others are not going to go to places like Birmingham, Manchester and Leicester
because they have already been taken over by the Asian immigrants years before.
Even High Wycombe in Bucks has a very high Asian population in the SE.
We will leave Southall out as it has been lost for 30 years -- so not much chance of
Europeans finding a place there.
I don't like unfairness and we Brits are being treated unfairly and the latest snippet of
'being nasty to the eastern Europeans' is not helpful.
We Brits have been made to ignore different tribes coming into the country, we have been
forced to look at them on the media in ever increasing numbers and still not comment as
it is 'racist'. However when the invasion becomes mainly white
from the EU we are now being encouraged to be 'racist' towards tribes fairly similar
to our own tribes -- odd isnt it.
Now I am not for giving benefits to anyone who comes into the country and indeed call
for a total stop to all immigration from anywhere in the EU and the World in general.
Our benefit system needs overhauling as does our Foreign Aid dilemma.
By the time we have paid out for many years and given foreign aid and manufacturing rights
to the rest of the world there is nothing left for us Brits or our country -- facts
are facts. It doesn't matter what colour you are or where
you are from -- it doesn't matter if you have been here 40 years of 4 months -- all benefits
to all people who have come here or who have children born here must be re-evalued and
the same for us Brits -- although it is us Brits who will bear the cost socially of less
money for education, health and social services in the long run.
It isn't racist -- it is tribalism at its best.
Other countries practise tribalism in cruder forms and kill other tribes -- we don't do
that but we are in danger of making a scapegoat of the wrong tribe as we get poorer and poorer
as a country. Extreme immigration needs extreme measures
and shutting our eyes will not help.
And finally- This is so tasteless, it cries out to be shared!
The Mother of all Jihadist Jokes...
Two Middle East mothers are sitting in a cafe chatting over a plate of tabouli and a pint
of goat's milk.
The older of the two pulls a small folder out of her handbag and starts flipping through
photos. They start reminiscing.
''This is my oldest son, Mujibar. He would have been 24 years old now.''
''Yes, I remember him as a baby.'' says the other mother cheerfully.
"He's a martyr now though." the mother confides.
"Oh, so sad dear...'' says the other.
''And this is my second son, Khalid. He would have been 21.''
''Oh, I remember him,'' says the other happily, ''he had such curly hair when he was born.''
''He's a martyr too...'' says the mother quietly.
'Oh, gracious me...'' says the other.
''And this is my third son. My baby.
My beautiful Ahmed. He would have been 18'', she whispers.
"Yes," says the friend enthusiastically, ''I remember when he first started school...''
'He's a martyr also,'' says the mother, with tears in her eyes.
After a pause and a deep sigh, the second Muslim mother looks wistfully at the photographs
and, searching for the right words, says . .
"They blow up so fast, don't they?"
