Women Under Sharia

Sharia Law Dehumanizes Women

by Clare M. Lopez

We’re all still dealing with the abominations committed by HAMAS and civilian Gazan jihadis on October 7, 2023. Israelis will be dealing with the horrors perpetrated against their women and girls for the rest of their lives. In fact, we should not, must not forget. Not now, during the month of March, which is Women’s History Month, and not ever. The theme running through all of this month’s articles is the dehumanization of women that seems hard-wired into Islamic Law (sharia) — or at least the way sharia culture is inculcated into the men who grow up under its influence.

  • So, in Saudi Arabia, even the robots treat women like sexual objects — seems we need to wonder about the algorithms programmed into them!

“Document Shows Iranian Protester Raped Before Murder” by Nika Shakarami at Iran International, February 21, 2024

  • The Iran International Iranian dissident group, that produces TV programming and published articles from its London headquarters, seems able repeatedly to breach the servers of official Iranian regime agencies. Here, the group has obtained a trove of documents from inside the Iranian judiciary. This report documents a “state sanctioned campaign of sexual violence” against protesters during the “Women, Life, Freedom” protests that swept through Iran following the murder of Mahsa Amini by Iranian police in 2022. Sexual violence against Iranian dissidents and protesters, both male and female, has been a recurring abuse documented throughout the now 45-year rule of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

City of Stockholm grants one million kronor to Ibn Rushd — stops contributions to association against honor violence

March 28, 2024

Last December the city of Stockholm paused a planned payment of 3.9 million kronor to the controversial study association Ibn Rushd after the Public Education Council determined that the study association’s teaching materials dealt with child abuse, child marriage, and described homosexuality as a sin. But on Tuesday, the Cultural Committee in Stockholm decided to resume the payments, Swedish Radio reports.

The criticized material was reportedly used by the study association in other places than in Stockholm, and after Ibn Rushd came back with a plan of action as the city was visiting the association’s operations, the payments to the association were resumed.

At the same time, the city of Stockholm stopped payments of 600,000 kronor per year to the association “Never forget Peta and Fadime” (GAPF), which works against honor oppression. The reason is that a board member of the association put up postings on his private Facebook page that the city views as breaking the city’s guidelines.

GAPF states in a press release that it has distanced itself from the board member’s now-deleted posts and that the association has taken measures such as updating its communication policy and ethical guidelines, as well as conducting training for staff and personnel, but the city of Stockholm is standing by its decision.

“We wonder how the city really works within democracy. How can a study association that has links to the Muslim Brotherhood and has been involved in brokering temporary marriage contracts, i.e. trafficking in women’s bodies according to a disclosure by Uppdrag Gransking [Assignment Examination] qualify for support but not us, who strongly help and protect vulnerable women and girls?” says Sara Mohammad, founder of GAPF, in a statement.

Since the election, the city of Stockholm has been run by a coalition made up of Social Democrats, the Left Party, and the Green Party.

Interview With Edwin Wagensveld

I’ve reported in the past (most recently here) on the actions by Edwin Wagensveld, the leader of the Dutch branch of Pegida, who has publicly torn up and burned Korans, provoking a violent response from “Dutch” culture-enrichers and causing him to be arrested by police multiple occasions. Mr. Wagensveld was recently banned from entering the town of Arnhem.

Below is an interview with Edwin Wagensveld conducted by Vlad Tepes. Many thanks to RAIR Foundation for uploading this video:

Breaking Bad

I don’t know about you, but after a hard day of starvation, I like to break my Ramadan fast with a yummy bar of KitKat™ Iftar chocolate!

My sweetie feels the same way — as soon as the sun sets, she can’t wait to go behind the modesty screen, lift the top of her burka, and break off a delicious bite of KitKat®.

Seriously, though — this report from Canada is pretty sickening. I’m used to corporate pandering to the Muslim market, but this Iftar chocolate product is really pushing the envelope.

Below are excerpts from a report by RAIR Foundation on this popular halal product. I couldn’t bear to embed the two KitKat© commercials, but I include links to the videos (or you can see the embeds in the original). Marion Maréchal is a different matter, though — I left in the embed of her video:

Ramadan Conquest: Nestlé’s KitKat ‘Iftar Bars’ and Western Cultural Erosion

by Amy Mek

Nestle Iftar bars represent not a celebration of multiculturalism but rather a troubling trend of cultural appeasement and submission to Islam.

The launch of Nestlé’s KitKat Iftar Bars in Canada for Ramadan is another example of Western corporations promoting the Islamization of nations for profit. This move, marketed as a gesture of “inclusivity” to a religion that does not extend inclusivity beyond Islam, is viewed as a calculated attempt to profit financially while undermining the cultural identity of the host nation.

While regular KitKats typically feature two or four chocolate-covered wafer fingers, this Islamized version boasts 30 fingers — one for each day of the holy month.

[Video 1]

Nestle Canada claims that this Ramadan snack was crafted to honor the Iftar tradition observed by Muslims, where they break their fast at sunset with an evening meal after abstaining from food and drink throughout the morning and afternoon during Ramadan. With KitKat’s iconic advertising slogan, “Have a break,” the company aims to celebrate the breaking of the fast at sundown.

[Video 2]

However, these Nestle Iftar bars represent not a celebration of multiculturalism but rather a troubling trend of cultural appeasement and submission to Islam. This trend is not unique to Canada; it’s seen throughout Europe, with initiatives like Ramadan lights in Oslo, Norway, and Frankfurt, Germany, symbolizing a broader pattern of accommodation that threatens Western cultural identity.

Gagged in The Netherlands

The current crackdown on free speech is occurring simultaneously virtually everywhere in the Western world. The following example is from The Netherlands, but similar instances could be adduced from other countries. The worst offenders are probably Canada and the UK, but it’s hard to say for sure.

As Al Stewart sang (in “Rain Barrel”):

Raisa Blommestijn criminally prosecuted due to her tweets

March 24, 2024

The Public Prosecutor’s Office has filed a criminal prosecution against the legal commentator Raisa Blommestijn. The reason for this is her comments on social media from last year. “This is indicative of the state of the West,” Blommestijn wrote on X.

The Public Prosecutor’s Office filed the prosecution last year due to Blommestijn’s tweets about migrant violence. This was confirmed by the legal commentator herself on X after an earlier report by the opinion maker Ashley St. Clair.

Violent video at Bijimar Arena Station

The reason for this is the tweets that Blommestijn wrote after a violent video went viral last year. In the video, an Italian tourist at the Bijimar Station was beaten and thrown onto the tracks by a group of youths with a migration background. The images went all over the Internet.

Blommestijn devoted a number of reports to it on X (formerly Twitter). “Every day, people are raped, beaten, intimidated, and slaughtered by migrants. The elite have opened the borders and deliberately forfeited our safety. Our home destroyed. And we let it happen. We let it happen. When is enough enough?” wrote the legal commentator, among other things.

For years, people with a migration background have been overrepresented in crime statistics. Not just in the Netherlands, but also in Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, France, and Sweden. meanwhile, the Hungarian capital, Budapest, where there is hardly any mass immigration, is considered the safest place in continental Europe.

“Negroid primates”

Shortly afterward, the Forum for Democracy MP Gideon van Meijeren denounced the violent incident in the Tweede Kamer [House of Representatives]. Here he used the term “Negroid primates” to describe the rioters at the station. A ruckus arose over this terminology, to the dissatisfaction of Van Meijeren. He did not think it was racist, but a factual designation: “Primates” referring to the primitive behavior of the youths, “Negroid” referring to their skin color.

To show support, Blommestijn decided to use his terminology in her tweets. But a few months later, she noticed that her tweets were deleted because she was reportedly in conflict with Dutch law. Therefore, the legal commentator decided to repost the tweets, in her words, “to show how far censorship now goes”.

Criminal prosecution

For the Public Prosecutor’s Office, this was a step too far. In August, Blommestijn received a telephone call saying that a criminal prosecution was being filed against her on suspicion of insulting a group of people and provoking hate and discrimination (Article 137c of the Criminal Code).

Putting the AfD Behind Bars

Posted on by

I posted last night about the case of a 16-year-old German girl named Loretta, who was pulled out of school by police after her principal reported her for obliquely supporting the AfD (Alternative für Deutschland, Alternative for Germany).

Neither the previous article nor the one below discuss what got Loretta in trouble. Here’s a reminder of what caused her to be arrested:

At the end of February, the girl was taken out of class in front of her fellow students and questioned by police, as first reported by German newspaper Junge Freiheit.

In her TikTok post, she asked “What do Germany and the Smurfs have in common: They are both blue.” The post was in reference to the AfD, which has blue party colors.

The appalling actions by the government of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania have drawn international attention to the state. In response, the state government is attempting to do damage control by hiding all of its internal deliberations.

Schwesig government keeps school instructions under lock and key

The “Loretta case” concerns the state parliament of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. New, explosive details have become known in a special meeting. The Union and AfD accuse Manuela Schwesig’s state government of a cover-up.

Schwerin

The state government of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, led by Manuela Schwesig (SPD), is keeping a memo under wraps in which school principals were informed about how supposedly extremist students should be dealt with. This was reported by the education policy spokesman for the AfD parliamentary group in the state parliament, Enrico Schult, following a special meeting of the education committee on the “Loretta case”.

“It is not helpful at all that the Ministry of Education is withholding ‘case scenarios’ sent to all school management, in a memo, on February 22, 2024, to which the headmaster referred and which are intended to clarify how to proceed in alleged cases of danger. Why exactly? Do these systems contain politically tinged requirements?” criticized Schult after the meeting.

He asked whether “the police should be called for every politically unpopular post.” “Or what happens when teachers accidentally come across critical posts in the media made by their students? Should they make a report?”

Criticism of the school principal and the state government

The AfD politician renewed his criticism of the behavior of the director of the Ribnitz-Damgartener Richard-Wossidlo-Gymnasium, who contacted the police at the end of February and had 16-year-old Loretta picked up from class after he was given screenshots of the 16-year-old’s social media appearances . These were not criminally relevant. Nevertheless, the officers carry out a “kind of threat address,” as they told Junge Freiheit.

No Longer Welcome in Arnhem

Posted on by

I’ve reported a number of times on the Islamophobic actions of Edwin Wagensveld (the leader of the Dutch branch of Pegida), most recently his attempt to burn a Koran in Arnhem. His activities sometimes provoke a violent response on the part of “Dutch” culture-enrichers, and on more than one occasion have caused him to be arrested by police.

Mr. Wagensveld has become persona non grata in Arnhem, to the extent that he is now banned from entering the city. The ban was issued by the mayor — whose first name is Ahmed, which tells you all you need to know.

Pegida leader gets 6-month local ban in Arnhem

March 21, 2024

Edwin Wagensveld, the leader of the radical-right group Pegida, cannot enter the city of Arnhem for six months. Mayor Ahmed Marcouch has imposed a local ban on Wagensveld. The ban goes into immediate effect.

Marcouch will reconsider the ban after three months, he has informed Wagensveld.

The Pegida leader wanted to burn a Koran next Saturday on Jans Square in Arnhem. On Wednesday, Marcouch forbade that on the advice of the police out of fear of chaos and because there would be concrete terrorist fears.

Wagensveld said on social media that he would definitely come to Arnhem on Saturday. The mayor reacted that the Pegida leader would definitely not enter Arnhem. Now Marcouch has imposed a local ban on him.

Wagensveld is not allowed to appear anywhere in Arnhem because of the ban. He is allowed to travel through Arnhem by train or bus but is not allowed to get off. Arnhem is a central station for trains to and from Germany, where Wagensveld lives. There is also an exception in the case that he might have to appear in the courthouse in Arnhem.

Police cannot guarantee safety

The mayor of Arnhem fears that the arrival of Wagensveld will attract groups and individuals who will try to stop him with violence or try to prevent his actions.

In addition, there are probably groups who also want to commit acts of violence. Marcouch speaks of a “high degree of probability.” There are concrete threats against the Pegida leader.

Marcouch expects that many more counter-demonstrators will come to Arnhem via calls on social media shortly before the demonstration, “which increases the unpredictability and thus, the uncontrollability of the anticipated serious disorder.” Police say safety cannot be guaranteed, even with the deployment of a large police presence.

Wagensveld tried to burn a Koran in Arnhem on January 13. That did not occur because there were many counter-demonstrators. The demonstration turned into riots and fights.

I Was Only Following Orders

An ordinary school principal and the Eichmann complex

The school principal Jan-Dirk Zimmermann from the northeast German province of Ribnitz-Damgarten has made national headlines in recent days. His unexpected popularity arose from his sucking up to the supposed spirit of the times, which demands political conformity.

He called the police to “his” school. Not because a crazy gunman threatened to massacre his classmates and teachers. No. Because of the student “Loretta”, who allegedly announced on social networks that Germany was not a speck on the map, but rather her home, and shared a Smurfs video on TikTok, he had the police called for no apparent reason to publicly expose and humiliate the student in front of her classmates. She was taken away by three police officers. The student’s desperate mother contacted the weekly newspaper Junge Freiheit about it. In his defense, Zimmermann said he was just following “rules.”

In doing so, he makes his sinister motives clear. The journalist Hannah Arendt (1906-1975) described this behavior, the reliance on regulations to suppress one’s own responsibility for evil, as the Eichmann complex. Arendt followed the Eichmann trial in Jerusalem in 1961 and published many articles about it.

Adolf Eichmann was a German-Austrian SS officer who had neither a degree nor completed professional training, but who fit seamlessly into the machinery of the organized extermination of Jews and took a leading position there. After successfully escaping to Argentina at the end of the war, he was arrested by the Israeli secret service and taken to Israel.

This happened because the words of the Frankfurt Nazi hunter and Attorney General Fritz Bauer fell on deaf ears by the German authorities, who showed no interest in Eichmann’s arrest and extradition. Adolf Eichmann denied his responsibility during the trial and stated that he had only followed “regulations”. He was sentenced to death and executed shortly afterwards.

It is symptomatic, both for National Socialists and for eco-socialists, not to take personal responsibility for the obvious evil they have caused and to denounce and report other fellow citizens who do not march in step. Yes, Zimmermann from Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania found it really nice to report his student to the police for no reason, knowing full well that there was no crime. He was obviously comfortable with it.

This may not be an isolated case at this school. It seems to be a system. Also at other schools. There you also have “regulations”. The countless informers who anonymously report their fellow citizens to the numerous reporting centers set up by the state also feel good, even if it’s just out of spite. All these little Zimmermänner and all these little Eichmanns. The Eichmann complex is visible and audible everywhere. It’s always someone else’s fault or, if necessary, the “regulations”.

Is there a risk of German mass suicide after Putin’s victory?

by Wolfgang Hübner

Petra Gerster was a presenter on the Böhmermann channel on ZDF for many years. She has been retired since 2021 and is now approaching her 70th year, as blonde as ever. Since there is a strange view in Germany that talking dolls who present the news also understand something about world politics, Gerster, who comes from a CDU political family, was recently able to make the following statement at the “Sunday regulars’ table” on BR (Bavarian Broadcast) television: “Personally, I am more afraid that Putin will win the war than detonating the atomic bomb.”

The Bambi award winner has not only proven that she is always available for the increasing war preparation activities of her regular station. With these words she also highly recommended herself for membership in the “Putin Bäh!” association of Strack-Zimmermann, Hofreiter, Kiesewetter and Baerbock.

So there are still real tasks and challenges waiting for the older ZDF lady. And if the detonation of an atomic bomb by Vladimir near Gerster were to actually prevent all of this, it no longer presents a frightening prospect for her at her advanced age.

But what will Gerster do if Putin wins the war? What then will all of those do who placed such expensive bets on his defeat at taxpayer expense?

Will there then be desperate mass suicides again in Germany, like in those unfortunate weeks and months of Nazi Armageddon in the spring of 1945? Will we then be robbed of valuable members of our Western elite and somehow have to deal with the Moscow beast on our own? Frightening questions!

A Historic Event Just Happened

Posted on by
20

I reported last week on the intifada staged outside of the Holocaust museum during its official opening in Amsterdam. The incident was organized by the demonic convergence of Muslims and the far Left. Our Dutch correspondent H. Numan sends this report with details and historical background for what happened in Amsterdam.

A historic event just happened

by H. Numan

A week ago the extreme Left blew any chance of governing the country for the foreseeable future. Femke Halsema, the mayor of Amsterdam, denies everything. However, she was deeply involved in the anti-Semitic demonstration during the opening of the Holocaust museum in Amsterdam. That museum was not something set up in an available building. Nope. It was set up in the exact building where the deportations were organized. Inside the king, the government, the president of Israel and the elites were painfully embarrassed by the pogrom going on outside. You know, because it was reported here. However, there is much more going on than just a national humiliation of epic proportions. This wasn’t a demonstration; it was a pogrom. And like the one in Germany, orchestrated by the (municipal) government. A real, full-blown pogrom.

During WW2 the Dutch elites and entire civil service were, as we call, it ‘fout’ (wrong). They served the Germans far better and much more efficiently than our own quislings. Almost all Jews were rounded up and exterminated. Our national railway company NS was praised by Himmler himself for her excellent work and superior management in shipping Jews directly to concentration camps deep inside Germany. The police had to be reorganized after the war to regain popular support. It took them until the early ’70s before that happened. The Dutch ID card was the most difficult to forge of all ID cards in Europe issued on German orders.

Westerbork is the most infamous concentration camp in The Netherlands. Westerbork was set up near a remote village in Drenthe (itself a remote province) to house Jewish refugees from Germany. It should have been Het Loo. Somewhat too close for comfort for queen Wilhelmina, who had a residence, the palace Het Loo, in the area. She explicitly forbade building a Jewish refugee center. She didn’t want to have ‘that’ kind of people, even ten miles away, from her royal palace. The Germans were pleasantly surprised to find it, full with refugees. Saved them a lot of work.

After the war people realized what had happened and made amends. Since WW2 The Netherlands has been a staunch ally of Israel. Even the Labor party strongly supported Israel during the Six Day War. The (Labor) prime minister personally called his counterpart and said: “Don’t worry. We’re behind you all the way.” The minister of defense ensured vital military cargo was sent to Israel. Even though it was outright illegal. He was a reprehensible guy for defense, but morally commendable. That’s something you have to know why the Dutch as a nation are such strong Israel supporters.

That pro-Israel stance changed in the Labor party when New Left (young far-left highly educated socialists) took over. A pro-Israel stance was never present further to the Left, in parties such as the Socialist and Communist Parties. It disappeared in the Labor party when they dropped the common man and picked up mohammedan migrants. It’s now completely gone since they were merged with the communist party. GL stands for Green Left, and is the communist party in all but name. The communist party was never popular here, with little support from the common man. Their support comes from the disenchanted upper middle class.

When Labor and the conservative VVD became more progressive, they electorally declined. Labor so much that they merged into GL. GL didn’t decline, or at least not as much, because they attract extremists and weren’t that big anyway. You can’t decline if there is nothing to decline, right?

Then the opening of the Holocaust museum happened. I was appalled. Not just me, the entire nation was flabbergasted. Humiliated. How did something like that happen here?? Not only that, but it is organized. Yes, Femke Halsema claims she didn’t know anything about it, but she almost always lies.

Windmills Tilting at Us

Posted on by

Wind turbines are widely disliked by the general public in all countries where they are erected. They are a blight on the landscape, and their noise when operating is unpleasant, and even harmful, for those who live nearby. They are notorious for killing large numbers of birds, including endangered species such as eagles.

Recent research in Sweden has revealed that wind farms cause even more environmental damage than previously thought, notably through the erosion of toxic chemicals from the blades, which are dispersed into the environment surrounding the turbines.

Many thanks to our Swedish correspondent LN for translating this article from Samhällsnytt:

Study shows: Wind turbines can be major environmental offenders

by Mats Dagerlind
March 16, 2024

Wind power is marketed as the climate and environmentally friendly energy option. However, there is a growing body of evidence that this is a truth with major modifications. A new study has now been published which, in addition to what is already known, indicates that wind power is associated with pollution in the form of high levels of hazardous substances around wind farms.

The yet-to-be-published study almost didn’t see the light of day. Strong political and economic forces do not want the image of wind power as the environmentally and climate-friendly alternative to produce electricity to be tarnished by further negative publicity.

As a result, pressure was applied to withdraw funding for the study. However, the researchers at the Universities of Gothenburg and Linköping managed to find money elsewhere, and the study is now complete. And its contents reveal why some were prepared to go to great lengths to stop it.

The list of disadvantages of wind power is long

Wildlife damage has been reported in the past; birds — including protected eagles — are decapitated by rotor blades. Marine life is disturbed by offshore wind turbines.

Worn-out rotor blades cannot be recycled and accumulate in large scrap yards without anyone knowing how to dispose of them. Nature and recreational values are destroyed in the vicinity of wind farms, so that the tourism industry is affected and other outdoor activities cannot be practised.

The local environment is destroyed for residents by the noise of the wind turbines. Those trying to move away find that the market value of their houses has dropped dramatically. And so on.

In addition, wind turbines have low reliability and only produce electricity when the wind is blowing. When there is too much wind, they produce too much electricity instead, which is also a problem, and wind operators are then offered tax money to switch off turbines. Storing wind-generated electricity is not possible today nor in the foreseeable future.

Now the list of poisoning of flora and fauna is expanding

The new study adds new disadvantages to the list. They are also of an uncomfortable nature, as they involve the pollution and poisoning of nature on land and in waterways, pollutants that can find their way into the food chains of animals and humans.

The findings are so serious and numerous that the researchers behind the study wonder why this has not been investigated before. The answer may lie in the fact that neither the wind power industry nor the various players in the green political movement have wanted to find out what the situation is.

The researchers have found that dangerous particles from wind turbine blades are probably an environmental problem that other researchers and authorities have chosen to underestimate. Helen Karlsson is an adjunct assistant professor of occupational and environmental medicine at Linköping University and one of the initiators of the study.

She says that she became interested in the issue of erosion from wind turbine blades when she realised that there were discrepancies between the wind power industry’s figures and other calculations. Initially, she and her colleagues did not believe that they would find as many rotor blade fragments as they did.

“The AfD is the Only Party in Germany That Recognizes Reality”

Posted on by

The AfD (Alternative für Deutschland, Alternative for Germany) is on the verge of being banned, if not at the federal level, then by one or more of the states. The German establishment has decided that the AfD is dangerous, and appears to be unleashing its full power to stop the populist upstarts.

The following campaign ad by the AfD features several immigrants who express their support for the party. It’s interesting and encouraging to see these advocates for political sanity, but I doubt it will have any effect on the push to destroy the AfD.
