About 10,000 Icelanders responded to an appeal by a popular author by offering to take Syrian refugees into their homes. The writer had made the appeal after the Icelandic government agreed to take in only fifty refugees.

Meanwhile, with the help of a grant from the European Union, the French government is converting the makeshift “Jungle” tent city near Calais into a state-of-the-art humanitarian refugee camp.

In other immigration news, as the refugee trains continue to arrive in Germany, the German government is considering converting the Tempelhof Airport in Berlin into the country’s largest refugee shelter.

Evicted to Make Room for Migrants

The following news report has a leftist multicultural bias, as might be expected from German television. Note that the narrator and those interviewed find it inconceivable that the flood of migrants might be stopped, as if immigration were a natural disaster, like a blizzard or an earthquake.

It’s considered possible to halt “climate change”. But not the influx of illegal third-world immigrants.

Knives, Machetes and Iron Bars: Cultural Enrichment in Dortmund

Nash Montana, an occasional commenter here at Gates of Vienna, has translated an article about culturally enriched violence against school students in Dortmund. The translator includes these notes:

This of course fits right in with every other theme about how Germany has betrayed her own people, and left them to be fed to the wolves. There is a huge problem with Albanian and Turkish family clans. This particular clan here is made up of about 40 to 50 members. And every single member of the clan will harass, rape, beat and murder their way through German society.

The German police are “Machtlos”, powerless. They are afraid. This is much like “no-go zones” in other countries in Europe, only these zones are flexible and ruled by family clans instead of just ethnicity or “religion”.

The translated article from the Dortmund Echo:

They came with knives, machetes and iron bars: Albanians attack German public school and heavily injure students

Eyewitnesses report that on Friday, the 28th of August, 2015, a mob of twenty to thirty Albanians attacked students of the public school “Hörde”, just as the students were leaving the front doors of the school.

In the days previous to the attack there were provocations and threats through the Albanian family clan. The police knew of the threats, but for some reason they felt no need to show more presence at the school.

The result of this abandonment is that several students were injured, one student suffering a serious head injury. A police car that coincidentally just happened to be in the neighborhood was able to arrest three men. But the majority of the attackers escaped.

The school has seen repeated attacks on German students at that school in the past week.

Will Governor Haslam Have to Choose Between Israel and the Ali Family?

Below is the latest newsletter from the Tennessee Council for Political Justice.

Newletter #184 — Will Governor Haslam Have to Choose Between Israel and the Ali Family?

On August 29, 2015, Governor Haslam and his delegation traveled to Israel to explore trade opportunities.

In the past Haslam spoke highly of his appointee Samar Ali and her father Subhi Ali. In fact, in response to criticisms regarding the appointment of Samar to the Department of Economic and Community Development, the Governor’s office highlighted her father’s credentials, leaving out all mention of Subhi Ali’s leadership of the anti-Israel Jerusalem Fund.

The Jerusalem Fund is a pro-Palestinian organization actively committed to the BDS (Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions) campaign designed to end Israel as a Jewish state, to destroy it by any means possible. A review of the Jerusalem Fund, its founders and their connections, activities and current day governing board members highlights that they remain committed to turning the U.S. away from its support and alliance with Israel.

Subhi Ali from Waverly, Tennessee, joined the Jerusalem Fund Board in 2000 and has served as Chairman of the Board since 2005.

The founder of the Jerusalem Fund (JF), Hisham Sharabi, endorsed the anti-Israel rhetoric and actions of pro-Palestinian groups such as the Muslim Brotherhood’s HAMAS. Sharabi was succeeded by Subhi Ali who continues to serve as the Chairman of the JF Board.

Sharabi supported any number of criminal organizations such as WISE (World and Islam Studies Enterprise). WISE was started by Sami al-Arian, who was also the head of the Islamic Committee for Palestine in the U.S., “the active arm of Islamic jihad movement in Palestine,” the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ).

The PIJ is alive and well and so is the Jerusalem Fund

In August 2015, Israel’s security forces thwarted PIJ’s planned bombing and shooting attack on Jewish worshippers at Joseph’s Tomb in Samaria. One of the four terrorists is also listed as a HAMAS operative and another, a Palestinian policeman.

Beaten to Death With His Own Bible

A horrific crime that may have been religiously motivated took place earlier this month in Portland, Maine. A Christian man was savagely beaten to death by three Muslims, but there is almost no information about the Islamic aspect of the murder in mainstream media reports. It’s possible that the victim was actually beaten with his own Bible, but don’t expect to read that niggling detail in any major newspaper.

By the way: the incident has a Mohammed Coefficient of 66.7% — of the three suspected perpetrators, one has a name with a double-Mo.

First let’s look at the TV news report. Many thanks to Vlad Tepes for uploading and annotating this video:

WMTV has the bare bones of the story, minus any information about religious affiliation, as in the screen report:

Court documents: Portland homicide victim beaten to death

Court documents indicate Freddie Akoa was beaten to death inside his Cumberland Avenue apartment.

The affidavit, released Monday, said Akoa was beaten for several hours the night of Aug. 9 by three men with whom he was drinking beer.

Akoa’s body was discovered on his living room floor on Aug. 11 after his family requested a well-being check.

Detectives found a purse in the apartment that lea them to a woman who said she was there the night Akoa was beaten, documents reveal.

The woman told police there were also three other men there who got into a fight with Akoa.

Police used surveillance video to identify the men as Abil Teshome, Mohamud Mohamed and Osam [sic] Sheikh. All three are charged with murder.

Detective said Teshome admitted to assaulting Akoa but he believed Akoa was alive when he left the apartment.

Akoa’s autopsy revealed 22 rib fractures, a lacerated liver, cuts and bruises over his entire body, including several impacts to his head and torso. Those injuries, if left untreated, would cause death, the medical examiner said.

Teshome, Mohamed and Sheikh are being held without bail at the Cumberland County Jail.

The Portland Press Herald is somewhat more forthright. At least it mentions the victim’s bloodied Bible:

Man found dead in Portland apartment had been beaten, kicked to death

A judge unseals an affidavit filed by a Portland detective that reveals how Freddy Akoa, 49, was killed in his Cumberland Avenue apartment.

Freddy Akoa, the Portland man found dead in his Cumberland Avenue apartment this month, had been beaten, kicked and bashed in the head with furniture by his drinking companions during an assault that went on for hours.

Akoa, 49, had 22 rib fractures from the savage attack, cuts and bruises all over his head and torso, and a lacerated liver when his accused killers left him on his living room floor in Apartment 18 at 457 Cumberland Ave. on the morning of Aug. 10.

Those details were made public for the first time Monday when a judge at the Cumberland County Courthouse unsealed an affidavit filed by Portland police Detective Christopher Giesecke to obtain an arrest warrant for three men accused in the killing.

The affidavit had been sealed at a prosecutor’s request for one week after three accused killers appeared in court, each on a charge of murder by depraved indifference. The three — Abil Teshome, 23, Osman Sheikh, 31, and Mohamud Mohamed, 36 — are each being held without bail at the Cumberland County Jail.

The affidavit details how police first learned of Akoa’s death on Aug. 11, and how clues left in the apartment and video surveillance camera recordings quickly led detectives to interview a witness and take the three suspects into custody.

But the document gives no indication of a motive for the men accused in the slaying, who were seen in surveillance footage entering the apartment building with Akoa and a woman on Aug. 9 at 4:40 p.m.

Akoa’s mother, Jeannie Mendomo, became concerned after she couldn’t reach her son by phone and no one answered the door at his apartment. She called the building’s management company to check on him. Two of the company’s representatives used a key to go in the apartment after noon on Aug. 11 and found him dead on the floor with a swollen and bloodied face, Giesecke wrote in the affidavit.

The detectives who arrived found the apartment in disarray, with empty beer cans on the counter and clothes and trash strewn about. On the floor near Akoa’s head was a Bible splattered in blood. Beneath his body was an official court document with Mohamed’s name on it. On the kitchen counter was a purse with contents inside with the name of Jennifer Wilson on them, Giesecke stated.

That afternoon, two detectives found Wilson at the Preble Street Resource Center in Portland, and before they could question her, she asked them, “How is Freddy?” Giesecke wrote.

Wilson told police that she and Akoa and the three men had all walked together to Akoa’s apartment on Aug. 9 after buying beer at a Park Avenue convenience store. She told them that they had been drinking for only about 10 minutes before an argument began in a language that Wilson did not understand, the affidavit states.

Police later found Teshome, Mohamed and Sheikh in Deering Oaks park on the morning of Aug. 13 and arrested Teshome on a charge of criminal trespassing.

Teshome allegedly told Detective Richard Vogel in an interview at the Portland police station after his arrest that he had become angry at Akoa’s apartment and that he Mohamed and Sheikh all assaulted him.

“Teshome said he lost control of himself and started hitting Akoa several times in the head. Teshome admitted to punching and kicking Akoa multiple times and knocking him to the ground. Teshome also stated that he also struck Akoa with his hands and feet while Akoa was lying on the ground,” Giesecke wrote.

Teshome also allegedly confessed that he used a board from a makeshift coffee table to beat Akoa over the head and to strike his foot, the affidavit states.

“(Teshome) said that he and Sheikh left Akoa’s apartment around the same time and that he believed Akoa was alive when he left,” Giesecke wrote.

Video surveillance footage from the apartment building shows Wilson and Mohamed leaving the building at 5:38 a.m. on Aug. 10, but Teshome and Sheikh cannot be seen in the footage, the affidavit states.

Police did not charge Wilson in connection with Akoa’s death.

If convicted of murder, each of the men will face a minimum of 25 years and up to life in prison.

It takes an honestly “biased” outlet, Top Right News, to provide the “Islamophobic” details of the crime:

If You Like Your Truth, You Can Keep It

In his latest essay, our Israeli correspondent MC discusses the Judeo-Christian concept of Truth, comparing and contrasting it with the Lie promulgated by Islam and Marxism.

If you like your truth, you can keep it…
by MC

From City Journal:

Madison wrote in 1800 that it is to free speech and a free press, despite all their abuses, that “the world is indebted for all the triumphs which have been gained by reason and humanity, over error and oppression.” Only out of freewheeling discussion, the unbridled clash of opinion and assertion—including false, disagreeable, and unpopular opinions, Madison believed no less than Mill—can truth ultimately emerge.

Freedom has three fulcrums of rotation: good government, a free press, and reasonable literacy. If any one of those pivot points breaks down, then the apparatus of freedom begins to crumble.

In this day and age all three are under attack, but the free press node is now dysfunctional. The media are now bound and enslaved to a particular polemic and are incapable of self-correction. The cause lies in the innate polarity imparted by modern (socialist) education.

Most people under fifty have never experienced any meme which does not harp upon the tenets of the cultural Marxist religion. Thus to step out from under the red umbrella of fixed ideas into the hailstorm of free thought is just not a feasible option to most people; it is incomprehensible — and very threatening.

I am a racist. I am a racist because I judge people, not by skin colour, but by their actions, and by the extent to which I feel threatened or comfortable with them. Diversity is truly fascinating as long as my wellbeing is not threatened.

I embrace my racism because the cultural Marxists have made it a rite of their religious devotion, and I hate Marxism in all its forms. Otherwise racism would be of no consequence to me, or to anybody else. Little things please little minds. It is very important to cultural Marxists that they should be able to point a finger: to accuse; to condemn the infidel. Racism is a superb verbal hammer with which to beat people into ‘their’ shape. The Marxist definition of racism is multi-dimensional and many faceted, and very difficult to counter. It is easier for me to accept that by Marxist definition I — and just about everybody else with a white skin — am a racist. No matter what I do, will always be a racist.

The idea of racism is actually inconsequential. Before the Holocaust it had no real meaning in the English language. It is an idea that was first established by Nazi propaganda, but only in German. However, its translation into English lies to the credit (or otherwise) of the left, who adopted the fascist idea of ‘racism’ as a politico-religious bulldozer, harping always upon its links to Nazi atrocities whilst ignoring the gross racism of the leftist Holodomor and the purges of Jews in the “Doctors’ Plot”.

Racism is a natural human process, whereby one mixes freely in one’s own cultural group, but is wary in the company of strangers. It has nothing to do with skin colour, and everything to do with polite behaviour. The stranger in the community is obliged to behave politely in the community into which he/she enters voluntarily, especially if said person wishes to become part of that community.

Salzburg Welcomes Culture-Enrichers

The “cosmopolitan” citizens of Salzburg in Austria have opened their hearts and the city gates to the wave of migrants now inundating Europe. The photo below was taken this past week in Salzburg by an Austrian reader, who notes: “This call to — what, exactly? — was found in front of the main theater in Salzburg city. I wonder how many tourists and festival visitors will flock to Mozart’s city once the “refugees” have settled in…”

The translated text of the sign:

For a cosmopolitan Salzburg
Refugees are welcome here

Joint statement by all persons engaged in the cultural sector in Salzburg

We are calling for a tolerant cooperation of and by cultures with freedom of speech as its highest pillar.

We want to live in a society based on freedom, tolerance, and solidarity and one that does not shut its eyes before the plight of asylum seekers.

We support a well-fortified democracy and a cosmopolitan Salzburg, one that not only welcomes tourists from all over the world, but also those in need of our help.

Christianity is now the fastest-growing religion in India, according to just-released data from the 2011 census. India’s Muslim population grew by 0.8% in a decade to reach 14.2% of India’s 1.2 billion people. The Hindu community increased by 0.7%, but dropped below 80% of the total population. The Christian population rose by 15.5% to 2.3% of India’s population. In other words, there are now almost 28 million Christians in India. More than in Britain, actually, if only practicing Christians are counted.

In other news, four people have been arrested in connection with the truck loaded with dead migrants that was abandoned several days ago on an Austrian highway. Three of the detained trafficking suspects are Serbs Bulgarians, and one is an Afghan. The death toll from the truck has reached 71, with four of those children. It is thought that they suffocated in the closed cargo compartment of the truck.

A Reprise of the Killing of Umm Qirfa?

According to a recent article in The Daily Mail, the Islamic State has promised that it will soon debut a new method of executing its prisoners:

Warnings have emerged of an impending Islamic State video that will reveal a ‘new killing style’ featuring jihadis on horseback.

A poster for the forthcoming video shows prisoners wearing orange jumpsuits surrounded by a framework of poles and militants gathered on horses.

It was posted with a warning the bloodthirsty group are planning to reveal a ‘new killing style’ – in addition to the varying types of executions it already carries out across Iraq and Syria.

Techniques used by ISIS to torture or kill prisoners are always modeled on those used by Mohammed and his companions, as described in the Koran or sahih (authentic) hadith. An alert reader at Vlad Tepes spotted the likely scriptural model for the atrocities depicted in the next batch of snuff propaganda to be released by the Islamic State.

Vlad has compiled a report on his research:

Islamic State’s New Killing Method — Not New, But Very Islamic

Earlier today, the Daily Mail published an article that we linked to, showing some ominous foreshadowing of an impending video with a ‘new’ way of murdering those people who interfere with the Caliph’s absolute supremacy.

An astute reader of Vlad, Chris Jones, left a comment that is very likely the exact description and explanation — not to mention scriptural justification and historical precedent — for what the Islamic State is planning to do to a certain class of people that may obstruct its rule.

In Al-Tabiri’s Tafsir (Vol. 8, pg.96), which expounds on the Sira or biography of Mohammed by Ibn Ishaq (pg.980), there is a detailed account of the horrific, sadistic and unconscionable murder of an elder woman by ripping her in half using camels pulling her legs in opposite directions.

[…]

Here are a couple of paragraphs from faithfreedom.org referencing this atrocity:

Umm Qirfa Fatima was taken prisoner. She was a very old woman, wife of Malik. Her daughter and Abdulla b. Mas’ada were also taken. Zaid ordered Qays b al-Musahhar to kill Umm Qirfa and he killed her cruelly.

[from Ibn Ishaq’s biography of Mohammed, pg.980]

Here Al-Tabari explains what “and he killed her cruelly” means:

Policeman in Germany — A Dream Job

The following video shows what a policeman’s job is like in Modern Multicultural Berlin. Below are the notes that accompanied the original clip, translated from the German:

Published on 24 August 2015

S***head cops Nazis, victims, sons of bitches, freaks”. As a big-city cop, you have a lot to endure nowadays.

The starting point of this video was an everyday emergency: A welfare centre in Berlin-Wedding calls the police for help because a black African on drugs is threatening people.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, there are aggressive, rowdy young “German” professionals with an immigrant background who insult the policemen, harass and attack them and impede their work. Phrases like: “May Allah destroy them, these sons of bitches” are heard. [Note from the translator: Their German is bad with — I think — heavy Arabic accents.]

Persecution of Christians and Rape of Yazidis Are No Concern to Islamists Living in the U.S…

Below is the latest newsletter from the Tennessee Council for Political Justice.

Newsletter #182 — Persecution of Christians and Rape of Yazidis Are No Concern to Islamists Living in the U.S…

Except of course to disavow that these atrocities have anything to do with Islam.

Self-styled human rights Islamist activists living in the U.S. are talking about the same Islam that Memphis Imam Yasir Qadhi says deems Christians to be spiritually “filthy.” It’s the same Islam that Knoxville’s Islamic Annoor Academy’s textbook teaches about Christians leading “such decadent and immoral lives…” And the same Annoor Academy textbook teaches that the goal of the caliphate is, without exception, to follow the Quran, sharia law and the example of Muhammad:

“Muslims dream of establishing the power of Islam in the world. Muslims of all types and backgrounds agree that the Islamic system is the best for humanity in this life.”

According to the Quran, the Hadith and sharia law, the “Islamic system” includes slavery and rape of captured non-Muslim women and girls, and persecution of Christians who don’t submit to Islam. (Quran at 9:5, 9:29, sharia law at o9.8).

The torture of Yazidis and persecution of Christians by Islamists in the Middle East is reported daily. Yet, Islamist leaders such as Tennessee’s Daoud Abudiab and New York’s Linda Sarsour, who were publicly honored as human rights activists, remain silent.


Daoud Abudiab

Abudiab is a Palestinian who once lamented to the audience who had watched the anti-Israel film “5 Broken Cameras,” that “he was one of the ones that left.” Instead, he does his jihad in Tennessee by marketing the myth of Islamophobia to apologist Christians who prefer to ignore the very real and deadly persecution of Christians in Muslim majority countries.


Linda Sarsour

Sarsour, head of the Arab American Association of NY, was born in New York after her parents, both Palestinians from the West Bank, immigrated to the U.S. Identifying herself as a Palestinian-American, Sarsour’s platform of victimhood is twofold: alleged abuses of Palestinians by Israel and American discrimination and Islamophobia directed at Muslims living here. An “Open Letter to Muslim Feminist Linda Sarsour” asked her to speak out about the real victims, like the girls and women being enslaved and raped by ISIS jihadis.

Even Sarsour’s hometown newspaper, the leftist Jew- and Israel-hating New York Times, was willing to publish a lengthy expose on the issue — “ISIS Enshrines a Theology of Rape.”

Instead of discussing the reasons for the persecution of Christians and rape of Yazidis, Islamists in Tennessee try to buy a sympathy card for the Chattanooga jihad.
