Someone’s trying to kill all the dogs in a park in California. Police don’t have any leads on who the would-be killers might be, but Vlad has his suspicions…

Our Norwegian correspondent The Observer has translated an article from VG.no about a mass brawl between neo-Nazis and Blitz activists (AFA thugs) in Oslo last night:

Blitz activists and neo-Nazis involved in mass brawl — three injured

(VG Nett) Three people were injured when approximately 15 members of the leftist organization Blitz attacked a Neo Nazi Christmas party last night.

At around 23.30 police in Oslo received a tip that a group of neo-Nazis had gathered at restaurant to hold a Christmas party. Police were about to dispatch a patrol car to the restaurant when a report of a mass brawl was call in at 00:21.

“Fighting had erupted both inside and outside when police arrived at La Boheme. Approximately 40-50 people were involved in a mass brawl. According to eye witness reports, a group of Blitz activists stormed the restaurant,” says Marianne Grinaker, the leader of operations for the Oslo police, to VG Nett.

“Scary”

“We saw people smashing the windows at La Boheme, and we initially thought that they were trying to get into the club. But when people started spilling out of the club fighting we realized that this was not the case,” one eyewitness told VG Nett.

“We saw several individuals lying motionless in the street. It was scary. We switched off all the lights in our apartment, so they wouldn’t throw chairs or any other objects at us.”

No arrest

Two people were brought to the emergency room with minor injuries, and one person was taken to the Ullevaal Hospital with eye injuries and cuts to the face, Grinaker tells VG Nett.

No arrests have been made yet.

A video of the brawl may be found here.

“It’s happening before our very eyes.”

Today was “Free Tommy Day” in the UK and several other Western European countries.

The main event was a demonstration in front of Wandsworth Prison by supporters of the English Defence League on behalf of their imprisoned leader Tommy Robinson, a.k.a. Stephen Yaxley-Lennon.

Simultaneous demonstrations and vigils in solidarity with the EDL were held in Berlin, Hamburg, Düsseldorf, Vienna, Paris, and other locations in Western Europe.

Below is a video of the crowd in front of Wandsworth, featuring a speech by Debbie Lawson, one of the EDL Angels:

I’m told that Tommy spoke to EDL leaders by phone afterwards and told them he could hear the singing from his cell in the prison.

Elisabeth Sabaditsch-Wolff spoke at the vigil for Tommy held in front of the memorial for the victims of the Gestapo in Vienna. Many thanks to Vlad Tepes for uploading this video:

The inscription on the memorial reads:

Never Forget

This was the house of the Gestapo
It was hell for those who stood for Austria
For many it was the forecourt to hell
It sank into ruins like the Thousand-Year Reich
But Austria rose from the dead, and with it our dead people, the immortal victims

Fouad Belkacem, the spokesman for Sharia4Belgium, has been remanded in custody for incitement to violence. But Mr. Belkacem’s lawyers maintain that he was simply reciting from the Koran, and therefore his words were protected by the right to practice his religion freely.

In Britain, three children were removed from the care of their foster parents because the couple were members of UKIP. Social workers said membership of the party meant they were racists, and thus unfit to care for children.

In other news, opponents of the Muslim Brotherhood took to the streets in Cairo and Alexandria to protest Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi’s assumption of dictatorial powers. Angry mobs shouted slogans, and then ransacked and torched the offices of the Muslim Brotherhood.

Meanwhile, a man in Maine has been sentenced to five days in jail for hitting his estranged wife with his… ahem… manly organ.

This is Black Friday, and the American people have been doing what they traditionally do on this day — screaming and clawing at each other as they attempt to grab marked-down merchandise at major retail outlets.

The United States is in the midst of a political crisis of unprecedented proportions, but most Americans seem blissfully unaware of it. One cause of their ignorance is a deliberate attempt by the major media to keep them ignorant — churning out predigested pap while keeping a thumb on the Globalist/Progressive pan of the propaganda scales.

The other reason, of course, is a near-universal preoccupation with acquiring iPads and TVs and shoes and jeans and all those other indispensable goods that had people clamoring at the doors of Wal-Mart in the wee hours of this morning.

While their attention has been thus distracted, the possibility of free and fair elections in America has been pre-empted, with massive electoral fraud now the order of the day, thanks to the intelligence and professional skills of people in my line of work — computer programmers.

While our votes are being discounted, our right to free speech is being taken away. Our current president and secretary of state, in their infinite wisdom and with the best interests of their nation at heart, have decided that the United States must become shariah-compliant. Our government, in collaboration with the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, is moving forward with a program known as the Istanbul Process, which is intended to Islamize America and the rest of the West by demanding the passage of laws against defamation of Islam, with or without the consent of the general public.

The American people, mired as they are in ignorance, superstition, and racism, are opposed to this idea whenever they happen to become aware of it. Therefore the Istanbul Process is kept under the radar most of the time. When it does have be discussed in public, it is sugar-coated as a nice multicultural peace-’n’-brotherhood initiative.

And, yes, it does involve brotherhood: the Muslim Brotherhood.

Take a look at the following video that Vlad Tepes put together a few days ago. It concerns the events in Benghazi on September 11, 2012, the movie Innocence of Muslims, an Egyptian-American named Mark Basseley Youssef (a.k.a. Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, a.k.a. Sam Bacile), and UN Resolution 16/18 (as explained by Major Stephen Coughlin):

After studying all of the material outlined in this video, one is forced to conclude that the September “Days of Rage” over the Mohammed movie were a manufactured crisis, and that Mark Basseley Youssef was set up, with the help of the United States government.

This is how far our current political crisis has proceeded, but without most Americans being aware of it. And when you contemplate what’s happening, it really is hard to believe that our government has deliberately and cynically connived to fake a crisis, aid the Muslim Brotherhood in its attempt to gain dominance, and put an American citizen in prison for making a movie, all in order to gut the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.

Yet these conclusions are now unavoidable. They provide answers to the following questions, which are otherwise unanswerable:

There are numerous other questions, but those will do for a start.

The only plausible explanation is that the highest levels of the American government have decided that the United States will become subject to the legal strictures of shariah concerning “slander” against Islam.

The good news is that Benghazi threw a monkey wrench into the plan. Americans weren’t supposed to end up dead, and our government didn’t count on an Al Qaeda attack as part of the “spontaneous” outrage against those who insult Islam.

It was probably the Iranians who managed to scupper the scheme — but that’s another story to be told at a later date.

I leave our readers to ponder these facts and speculations while they recover from Black Friday on Weary Saturday. If our leaders have their way, every day of the week will be black, once the light of the First Amendment has been turned off for good.

It could be worse. We could have lost our minds and decided to go shopping today.

Not bloody likely.

Nonetheless there is a paucity of posts so the Baron has asked me to explain the situation. He is having KVM problems. This is some glitch or other regarding switching computers and for the moment it has left him unable to post anything.

Before I could ask, he pre-empted me: “Just say KVM. Some readers will understand. The ones who don’t wouldn’t be interested in the answer”. Before heading back upstairs he assured me this was MEGO territory where I’m concerned: My Eyes Glaze Over. Not being blessed with intense curiosity toward things I will never really grok, his answer was enough for me.

Apropos of nothing in particular,today is our wedding anniversary. And we’ve cycled ’round to the original: we actually got married the day after Thanksgiving.

Our union continues to thrive despite the fact neither of us goes out to work anymore. I’ve heard that couples who spend all their time together can find the situation problematic. Perhaps it would be the same for us also were it not for the fact we can resort to parallel play, just like two year-olds. We’ve learned to leave one another’s stuff alone, too. Do we bicker? You bet -but no more than we ever did. Neither one of us is good at letting go or waiting our turn. But neither of us could picture life without the other…

So we have KMV troubles for the moment. It could be worse. We could be standing within hearing distance of…”Attention K-Mart shoppers…” Or perhaps in a crowded aisle trying to reach for the kitty litter while elevator-type Christmas music assaulted us from all sides…

Update from the Baron: Both my machines are back in business now — the KVM is working again. Normal progamming will resume shortly.

Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi has given himself unprecedented new powers. The Muslim Brotherhood leader issued an executive order that designates his future edicts as mandatory and unappealable, which makes him a virtual dictator.

In other news, a British executive who until recently worked for a Kuwaiti-owned bank claims that he was sacked from his job because he isn’t a Muslim.

The Sikh Awareness Society recently interviewed Andrew Norfolk, a British journalist for The Times, about the scope and depth of the “grooming” (better described as “Muslim gang-rape”) epidemic in the UK.

Mr. Norfolk’s account confirms what Paul Weston said in this space last night: the victimization of white native British girls by Muslim gangs is monstrous and despicable, and has been going on for a long time while the media and the government ignored it.

NOTE: Most of the time British media avoid referring to the ethnicity of these gang rapists. When forced to do so, they are called “Asians”.

The man who is interviewing Mr. Norfolk in this video is an Asian, but his ethnic group does not prey on 12-year-old white girls. As Tommy Robinson and Kevin Carroll have repeatedly pointed out, the Sikhs and the Buddhists and the Hindus are not the ones who groom these girls. Nor are the Chinese and the Japanese.

The vast majority of the perpetrators of these vile acts are Muslims, mostly ethnic Pakistanis.

These are facts, but don’t expect the British press to report them.

Many thanks to Vlad Tepes for uploading these excerpts:

The complete interview is here.

Fjordman’s latest essay has been published at Tundra Tabloids. Some excerpts are below:

Anders Ravik Jupskås has been hailed in the mainstream media and consulted as one of Norway’s leading experts on so-called right-wing extremists. In a case where Jupskås was used as the senior academic “expert” by the state broadcaster NRK, he talked about right-wing extremism and so-called Islamophobia as nearly the same thing. In his view, there seems to be no rational reason to be opposed to Islamization or continued Muslim immigration. Such resistance basically comes down to ignorance, for the most part. This view was made explicit when Jupskås was interviewed by NRK, who presented numbers indicating that people in Oslo were supposed to be more positive towards Muslims than elsewhere in the country.

[…]

France probably has the highest percentage of Muslims of any Western European country today. According to the logic displayed by NRK and Mr. Jupskås, French people should really love Islam because they have met so many Muslims personally. The only problem with this theory is that it is flat-out wrong and has no empirical basis, which means that it is not real science, merely a combination of wishful thinking and propaganda.

A survey from October 2012 showed that 60% of the French think Islam is too prominent in their country. 43% said the presence of Muslims was a “threat” to national identity while only 17% saw it as culturally enriching. 67% said Muslims were not integrated into the mainstream, and 68% thought Muslims themselves were to blame for this. Muslim leaders and others indirectly admit that rising opposition to Islamization is a fact by warning that a wave of so-called Islamophobia is now sweeping society.

Similar trends can be seen in other European countries, from Germany to Britain. In response to this, international Islamic organizations are intensifying their efforts to clamp down upon any criticism or mockery of Islam in the Western world, precisely because they sense growing popular resistance — and they are right.

The bottom line is that Europeans are “getting to know” Islam and those who practice it, and they don’t like what they see. Some European countries in the south and east still have deep national memories of being at the receiving end of centuries of Muslim slave raids and looting, and needed no modern reminder of the true face of Islam.

No, this is not about xenophobia, fear of the unknown. It’s about fear and loathing of something they know all too well: the smugness, the muggings and the violent street crime, the daily insults, the arrogance, the gang rapes, the people who come from backward countries but still behave as if they are the new Master Race.

What we are witnessing now is a rising tide of righteous anger amongst the native peoples of an entire continent, the cradle of the most inventive and creative civilization the world has ever known, who have finally had enough of being robbed of their dignity, their history and their land in exchange for lies and Multicultural fairy tales presented to them by their mass media and so-called leaders.

It will only grow in strength in the years to come.

Caroline Glick has this video up today. It’s apt for Americans, especially those of us who stand with the Jews.

We all tend to look at life through the “I” filter. Thus the impact of any disaster is directly proportional to how far away it is from us and those we love.

So for Americans with strong ties to the tri-state are devastated by Hurricane Sandy, and especially for those who live right there in the center of that literally moldering aftermath, the total focus of time and energy and concern has narrowed to the mess all around them. The aftermath is indeed their center of gravity and will be so for a long time to come.

For our Sderot friends the focus is more severely mortal, more imminently disastrous and nerve-wrackingly random. Those living in the border towns across from Gaza learn to live from moment to moment. Or rather they attempt to do so. No one can live that way for long, wondering if today is it — the day they are blown off this mortal coil. The alternative is to numb out and get on with a daily routine that can be — and often is — interrupted by incoming death.

They have been much on my mind, these victims of the times in which they live. There are also many others in this wide world, similar others who are suffering simply because they exist at all. How dare they refuse to lie down and die for someone else’s convenience? How dare they continue an existence which is an affront to the haters?

Show me what you love and I have an inkling of who you are.

Show me what makes you angry and I know what you are.

Show me what drives you to spittle-flecked hatred and I know your underbelly, the raw ugliness that fuels the engines of your fears and nightmares.

I agree with Beck’s sentiments in that video clip: I stand with Israel. I stand with a people who made the desert bloom, who not only survive but transcend the unceasing hatred all around them.

Shalom, Israel.

Today is Thanksgiving Day, and Dymphna and I have family visiting, so posting may be light for most of the day.

There is plenty to be thankful for here at Gates of Vienna. Over the past six years we have been through a lot of trials and tribulations, from the Great LGF Wars through our ejection from Pajamas Media to the ghastly publicity that descended on us after Breivik’s massacre. Yet every crisis has strengthened and extended the community we find ourselves in — a local subset of the larger distributed network that makes up the Counterjihad.

On past Thanksgivings I have sometimes listed the contributors, translators, and tipsters who are crucial to our site, so that all of them might receive a public acknowledgement. However, this has become an all but impossible task — the community is now so large that collecting and formatting the names and URLs would be more than could be attempted in a single day. Our gratitude must go out to them collectively.

Thinking back to where we were five years or so ago, there were so many goals that remained wishful thinking. Yet not only have we accomplished many of them, but some of them are now routine. Examples include:

• Rapid translation and subtitling of significant videos
• Publicizing important texts by translating them into a dozen or more languages
• Communicating and coordinating in real time with multiple Counterjihad groups on both sides of the Atlantic and in Australia
• Raising awareness of Islamization through prominent public events
• Establishing new political parties which share our goals, or enhancing existing ones

All of this was made possible only through the tireless efforts of hundreds of volunteers who send tips, report, write, translate, make videos, appear in the media, and put their careers (and physical safety) on the line by attending public anti-sharia events.

Not to mention the donors who give repeatedly from their abundance to help keep this site going.

Our deepest thanks to everyone in the wider Gates of Vienna community, and to the good Lord who has inspired you to make these sacrifices for the sake of a worthy cause.

New reports about “Asian” rape gangs appear almost every day in the British press, yet almost all media outlets and politicians are strangely reluctant to discuss the fact that most of these vile crimes are committed by Muslim immigrants and their descendants.

Paul Weston’s latest essay reviews the latest news about the rape epidemic and its enablers and apologists among Britain’s ruling elites.

Muslim Gang Rape Whitewashed in Britain
by Paul Weston

Wherever in the Western world you find large groups of Muslims, you also find a correspondingly large amount of gang rape with Muslims the perpetrators and native white girls the victims. I’m not sure what the rape statistics in Muslim-ruled countries are like, but one assumes they are lower than in the West simply because infidel girls are seen as permissible targets in the Dar al-Harb (the House of War).

Western women and girls do not yet seem aware of the Islamic requirement to swathe themselves in layers of black clothing in order to counter the sexual urges of predatory Muslim males. After the reporting of the Muslim gang rape epidemic in Australia, it fell to Sydney-based Sheik Taj Din al-Hilali, Australia’s senior Muslim cleric, to state what has since become painfully obvious to those who truly understand the sheer horror of Muslim attitudes toward non-Muslim women:

“If you take out uncovered meat and place it outside on the street, or in the garden or in the park, or in the backyard without a cover, and the cats come and eat it … whose fault is it, the cats or the uncovered meat? The uncovered meat is the problem….if she was in her room, in her home, in her hijab, no problem would have occurred.”

High Wycombe, an area not perhaps associated with a high Muslim presence, is the latest part of Great Britain to discover such wonders of multicultural enrichment, where eight Muslim men were arrested on the 19th of November over grooming and rape allegations. And there was I, thinking High Wycombe was still part of what was once a rather pleasant country called England.

But High Wycombe is just another previously cohesive area swamped by the inevitable results of mass Third World immigration and high Muslim birth rates, which allow the Muslim population in Britain to expand nine-times faster than any other demographic. And, of course, with a resurgence of Islam comes the resurgence of rape we are now witnessing.

Our ruling elites within the MSM and Whitehall are doing their best to deflect attention away from the Islamic issue, however. Presumably they think Community Cohesion will fare better if they tell us to ignore the facts we can see with our very own eyes. How else to explain the disgraceful report into gangs and sexual abuse recently compiled by deputy children’s commissioner Sue Berelowitz? She tells us that the issue “of Asian men targeting white girls was just one of ‘a number of models… perpetrators come from all ethnic groups, and so do their victims — contrary to what some may wish to believe.”

I am not going to argue that grooming and gang rape are perpetrated only by Muslims in Britain, but if there is to be an official report into it then surely the over-representation of Muslim rapists should be the most significant point? It really is a bit much when The Guardian makes a better fist of confronting Islamic reality than the woman who purportedly acts in the best interests of our children. The Guardian states the following:

“We believe that there are two main profiles of the on-street groomer. First, we have the white offenders, who typically offend alone. So far, nothing new: the lone white male is the norm for UK child sex offences. Second, however, there are Asian offenders, many of whom are of Pakistani origin. They seem much more likely to offend in groups, lending their abuse a curiously social dimension. In our research, which focuses on large offending groups, we analysed police data from five major on-street grooming investigations. Of the 52 suspects charged, 83% were Asian Pakistani, 11% Asian other and 6% white British. These are shocking statistics and the over-representation of Asian offenders within this dataset certainly merits attention.”

Indeed it does, but you won’t find much attention directed toward this issue from those whose job it is to do so. Something else we should bear in mind is that 94% of gang-rapists come from only 7% of the population demographic. This is more than shocking, it is a national disgrace, and the disgrace is compounded further by the wilful refusal of our government, the social services and the police to recognise it and act upon it.

Sue Berelowitz says there were 2,409 victims in the 14 months to October 2011, although the true number is likely to be far higher with an estimated 16,500 at a high risk of sexual exploitation. In 6 out of 10 cases ethnicity was not mentioned, and I’m sure I’m not alone in thinking this apparent lack of detail was omitted in order to deflect attention away from the Muslim angle.

The strongest condemnation from the MSM has come from a Muslim, Yasmin Alibhai-Brown, who although denying the Muslim/rape link a few years ago, now seems to be fully aware of her co-religionists’ attitude toward infidel women. She says:

A 2010 police intelligence report stated there was a significant problem with gangs of Asian males, most of them Muslim, exploiting young white females. The children are neglected and hungry for love. The men offer treats, car rides and kebabs, then drugs and alcohol; and then they corrupt them. Even more tragically, when teachers and doctors express concern, too many in social services and the police dismiss the girls as ‘promiscuous’, ‘available’ and not worth their attention and care.

As an Asian woman, feminist, mother, Muslim and lifelong anti-racist, I cannot meekly accept Ms Berelowitz’s directive. We need clear and honest figures to show how race and ethnicity are linked to these unspeakable crimes. After all, we have ethnic details for burglaries, stop-and-search, conviction rates and prison sentencing. Anti-racists base their campaigns on such information.

So why the squeamishness about gang sex exploitation? I think it is because — like a number of police officers and social workers who have been presented with such evidence in the past — the committee in charge of the report are nervous of causing offence to community leaders, of being thought racists.

This is where it gets tricky. It is easy to loathe the abusers, but much harder to ask what it is about some Asian cultural assumptions that make the paedophiles feel no guilt or shame about what they do. Mohammed Shafiq, chief executive of the Ramadhan Foundation, a brave and principled man, is one of the few to examine and question these underlying attitudes.

He acknowledges that to some Muslim men, white females are thought easy game, ‘asking for it’, while those men’s wives or girlfriends are hyper-protected. Many abusers are sexually frustrated and cannot relate to women except as objects of one kind or another. For this new report to shy away from this vital dimension is cowardly — and, in its way, another betrayal of the victims.

Betrayal is the correct word, Ms Alibhai-Brown. Betrayal not just of our children but of our country, our culture and our decency. Betrayal first by three terms of a Labour government who admitted they wanted to rub the noses of the right in diversity (along with the rape and crime that comes with it) and the continued betrayal by the soft-handed David Cameron, who is noticeable for his total lack of comment on anything to do with Islam.

And the betrayal continues precisely because our cowardly and treacherous elites refuse to confront Islamic reality. The BBC tells us that child abuse is still going on in Rochdale, the self-same area which was loath to take action in the past for “cultural reasons” and is now allowing the rape and grooming to continue. Unless this continuing obscenity is tackled head-on then multicultural Britain is heading toward multicultural civil war in the very near future.

Is this not obvious to Cameron and his co-political ilk?
