The Catholic Immigration Flim-Flam Has Got to Stop

Posted on by

Sharia TipSheet has published a more expansive report on the collusion of the US Catholic Church with the open-borders crowd through the process of “refugee resettlement” — which happens to earn the Church tens of millions of dollars of taxpayers’ money every year.

Also see the earlier report: “Catholic Church Unrepentant for Working with Muslim Brotherhood Front Groups.

The Catholic Immigration Flim-Flam Has Got to Stop

Open Borders: Where is That in the Bible, Exactly?

In October 2016, the Sharia TipSheet published “‘Refugee Resettlement’ a Cover for Muslim Colonization of the U.S.? Nobody’s Talking” (archived here). The story was based on questions put to a government official and a representative of Catholic Charities after a pro-resettlement presentation at a Catholic church in Arlington, Virginia. The story pointed out that the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) is a big government contractor which rakes in tens of millions of taxpayer dollars every year for refugee services. The Migration and Refugee Services arm of USCCB is 97 percent government-funded. One of the questions put to the representative of Catholic Charities was: “do you inform Catholic clergy and parishioners that Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Arlington is 29 percent government-funded ….?” There was no response.

In January 2017, the TipSheet published a second article copiously documenting how the Catholic Church works with Muslim Brotherhood front groups that have ties to terror, but the Church is not the least bit apologetic for doing so. The second article was re-posted at Gates of Vienna (without links).

Now comes an article from the Catholic-oriented publication and website Our Sunday Visitor entitled “Catholics respond to border wall, travel ban” (January 30, 2017). The article expresses disgust with the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement policies as contravening “the teaching of the Church on human dignity and other principles of Catholic social teaching.”

This is quite a pronouncement, but it’s baseless. Several of the Catholic figures interviewed in the article made appeals to the Church’s teaching on “human rights” and “human dignity” but those vague terms don’t get you very far on specific policy questions. They don’t get you anywhere close to the proposition that enforcing immigration laws that have been on the books for decades — laws ignored by the previous administration — is somehow inhumane or an affront to human dignity.

One figure quoted in the article was even more ethereal: “We believe that now more than ever, welcoming newcomers and refugees is an act of love and hope.” The declarant, Bishop Joe S. Vásquez of Austin, Texas, and chair of the USCCB Committee on Migration, is not just any bishop but one directly involved in raking in the dough for the Church from huge resettlement contracts from the government. ‘Love and hope’ — is that Bishop Vásquez or the money talking? Funny how a few hundred million dollars can warp your perspective and lead you to make silly arguments.

Another figure quoted is similarly financially self-interested. Cardinal Daniel N. DiNardo of Galveston-Houston is president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops whose Migration and Refugee Services arm, as noted above, is 97 percent government-funded. So when Cardinal DiNardo trots out the tear-jerker that increased immigration enforcement will “tear families apart,” the same question arises: Is it the money talking? How can you be sure it’s not?

Another contractor employee argues in the article, “The large-scale ramp-up of immigrant detention and erosion of asylum protections… directly contradict Catholic social teaching.” Ashley Feasley is director of policy for Migration and Refugee Services of the USCCB. USCCB — here we go again. She should be asked the same question that should be asked of the others from USCCB: Why should we believe a word you say when hundreds of millions of dollars are at stake?

Antifas vs. “Islamophobes” on Parliament Hill

Posted on by

Earlier today I posted about a group that opposes M103, the bill that would outlaw “Islamophobia” in Canada.

There was an anti-M103 rally today on the steps of Parliament Hill in Ottawa sponsored by another group, Suffragettes Against Sharia, whose leaders include the apostate from Islam Sandra Solomon.

The protesters declared their opposition to sharia, and thereby incurred the righteous anger on the antifas, who gathered at the foot of the steps with their anti-fascist banners and hammer-and-sickle flags, chanting “Nazi scum off our streets!”

More on the Halal-Murder in Kiel

Posted on by

Last week we posted about a murder in the German city of Kiel in which a Turkish husband apparently butchered his wife in halal fashion.

Below is a longer report with more details on the incident. Many thanks to Egri Nök for translating this article from SHZ.de:

Kiel: Mother of Three stabbed to Death in Front of Kindergarten; Perpetrator in Pre-Trial Detention

March 15, 2017

The victim bled to death on the open street. Her 40-year-old husband was arrested near the crime scene.

Once again a man has killed his wife on the open street. The bloody deed is shocking and deeply saddening. The five-year-old son apparently had to watch as his mother’s throat was cut.

The crime scene in the district of Kiel Neumühlen-Dietrichsdorf is cordoned off with barrier tape. Investigators in white overalls are securing traces. Then the corpse is being taken to forensics. Dilek V. (34), mother of three, bled to death on the sidewalk. She was already dead when police and rescuers arrived, alerted by an eyewitness.

On Thursday forensics began the postmortem of the corpse. Chief Prosecutor Axel Bieler says the woman was killed with a kitchen knife. This was the result of the preliminary autopsy. The final result is expected within the next few days, Bieler announces. The 40-year-old suspect was brought before the investigative judge. The committing magistrate issued a warrant for manslaughter, following the proposal of the State Prosecutor Kiel. “The investigations are still ongoing”, Bieler explains. The man has not yet made a statement on the allegations.

Dilek V. had been walking her youngest son to the kindergarten “Am Wasserturm” as usual; she lived only five minutes away. At that point, her husband Aytekin A. (40) trapped her. “The investigators for the Kiel Homicide Division assume a marital quarrel between the spouses, who lived separately,” the police spokesman Finn-Ole Henning says. According to information obtained by shz.de, this was about child custody.

Aytekin A. was arrested at a supermarket not far from the crime scene. The victim married her husband when she was 17 years old, and had three children by him, two sons (5 and 15) and a daughter (10).

You Take Pork on Your Pizza? Prepare to Die!

Posted on by

The following incident appears to be an example of when sharia law is enforced against non-Muslims.

The article doesn’t specifically indicate that the victims were native Danes. However, Danish media aren’t as reticent about enricher crimes as in some countries (e.g. Sweden), and describe the perpetrator as being “of an ethnic origin other than Danish”. Thus it’s reasonable to assume that the young lady who was eating pork on her pizza was an ethnic Dane.

My guess is that the young couple made the mistake of eating their pizza in an area that local culture-enrichers consider a zone reserved exclusively for Muslims, which makes its inhabitants subject to sharia dietary restrictions, whether they are Muslim or not. The only curious thing is how the infidel offenders managed to obtain pork inside a sharia zone — did they carry it in with them?

Many thanks to Tania Groth for translating this article from BT.dk:

On Saturday night a young couple were attacked by up to five people of alien ethnic origin in Silkeborg (Denmark).

In connection with the incident, Mid- and West Jutland police are searching for the offender, whom they describe as a man about 175 cm tall, of standard build, of an ethnic origin other than Danish, and wearing dark clothing. They are also looking for two to four other persons who participated in the attack.

The attack took place on March 12th at 6:07 in Nygade in Silkeborg at Eiffel Pizzeria, where the 24-year-old and her male acquaintance sat on a staircase eating pizza.

The perpetrator took one of her pieces of pizza and threw it on the ground. This turned into a scuffle, and soon afterwards a group of men, friends of the perpetrator, arrived at the scene and started kicking and punching her male acquaintance.

Midtjyllands Avis writes that the young couple were asked if there was pork on their pizza, to which they answered yes. It was apparently this that triggered the brawl.

“Suddenly a young man of different ethnic origin rushed out and struck the young girl gratuitously on the head and she subsequently lost her hearing in one ear. At the moment we do not know whether she has permanent hearing loss! He then takes a stranglehold on her and shouts that she sure as hell should not eat pork on her pizza!” Writes the mother of the young man in a post on Facebook. The newspaper has seen the post.

Erdogan on Europe: “This is a Nazi Mentality”

Posted on by

Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the would-be Sultan of the Neo-Ottoman Empire and the would-be Caliph of Sunni Islam, is at it again. Evidently his earlier vituperations against Germany and the Netherlands did not produce the reaction he had hoped for, so he ratcheted up his rhetoric even further. It’s as if he is determined to start World War Three, no matter how much the West resists his provocations.

The following speech by Erdogan was close-captioned in German, and Nash Montana has translated the captions into English. She includes this prefatory note:

And once again, Erdogan is swinging the Nazi bat against anyone and everyone not him.

The video was hard to translate because, honestly, Erdogan talks like a retard, and he doesn’t make much sense. His self-righteous indignation keeps him from coming across as an intelligent man with the ability to string coherent sentences together, and it shows in his speech.

But it doesn’t matter; apparently his listeners are equally dumb. They get him just fine.

I translated this part of the video from a speech that Erdogan gave on last Sunday in Istanbul. He declared that the “masquerade ball” in Europe is over. He accused the Netherlands and Germany of Nazi methods, which he continually does.

He is a very consistent man in that regard. But then he decided to dial it up yet another notch.

In addressing Merkel personally, he proceeded to say that they, the Germans and Netherlands, would gladly again put gas chambers and concentration camps back on their daily order of business if they weren’t so ashamed of themselves.

He declared that Europe openly is against Turkey and that “their hatred, their discontent, their dissatisfaction against our country and our fellow countrymen, and against all muslims every day on TV, and in the news media” is dangerous.

Many thanks to Nash Montana for the translation, and to Vlad Tepes for the subtitling:

Opposition to M103 in Ottawa

Posted on by

The Canadian Parliament is about to pass a proposed bill known as M103, which will effectively implement UN Resolution 16/18 at the national level in Canada. All forms of “hatred” and discrimination against religious beliefs — with “Islamophobia” being the only specific form mentioned — will be prohibited under the new bill.

As has often been discussed here, with particular reference to the OSCE, the term “Islamophobia” has never been officially defined by any of the supra-national organizations that call for its prohibition. When a term that is undefined as a matter of law is used to describe behavior that is being criminalized, it gives political and judicial authorities a free hand in targeting political dissidents, who can then be prosecuted at the whim of the state. “Islamophobia” becomes whatever any particular prosecutor or judge says it is — and, if prosecutors and judges heed Muslim complaints, anyone who criticizes Islamic doctrines will be charged with the new crime.

This is the future that awaits the citizens of Modern Multicultural Canada.

A new group called Canadian Citizens for Charter Rights and Freedoms has been launched to oppose M103. Its leaders held a press conference yesterday on Parliament Hill in Ottawa. Although their event was on the official calendar, and they were clearly expected in the press room, the office in charge of such events “forgot” to notify the press, and no reporters were present.

The group decided to proceed with their press conference anyway, and made their statements at the microphone in front of the camera. Below is a video of their statements (in both English and French). Many thanks to Vlad Tepes for uploading this video:

Culture-Enrichers Who Pushed Man in Front of a Train Released From Custody

Posted on by

As a follow-up to Saturday’s post about the man in Dresden who was pushed in front of a train by migrants, Egri Nök has translated an article from today’s TAG24:

Two men shoved him in front of a train and are already free again: Now the victim speaks

by Hermann Tydecks
March 20, 2017

Dresden — When the S-Bahn rushed towards him, René J. (40) stood in the track bed as if paralyzed: “I thought, this is it.” — the Dresdener wound up his life. Only the engine driver’s quick reaction saved the family father — emergency braking!

The two attackers who nudged him onto the tracks were arrested — and let go again (TAG24 reported). Inconceivable for the victim: “In my eyes it was attempted murder!”

[photo caption: father from the family of René J. (40) from Dresden returns to the crime scene, two days after the inconceivable act of violence.]

The S-Bahn stop Zschachwitz on Sunday. Two days after the stunning deed. René’s hand is shaking, he points to the spot one meter lower on the track bed: “They would not let me up again. I will never forget their faces…”

For six years the technician has been riding this train — he boards it in the west of Dresden, and leaves it in Zschachwitz. Then it is only a few minutes by bike to work. There has never been any incident — until Friday.

At 4.41 AM, René J. leaves the train as always; the morning is dawning. As always, he lightens a roll-up cigarette. Two inebriated men also leave the train. “They approached me, pointed to my cigarette, did not speak any German. I said no, and wanted to leave. At that moment the main attacker kicked my bike with full force. I grabbed him and pushed him against a pole. The other one pushed me. There was wrestling, but it was not I who initiated the aggression.”

Then, the main attacker whacks the bike against René J. — who falls onto the track bed. “I tried to climb up again several times.”

But the main culprit prohibits that. Again and again. “I tossed my bike on the platform, he dashed it back upon me, kicked after me with his foot.”

University Hospital of St. Pölten Hosts ISIS Meetings

Posted on by

According to a recent report, supporters of the Islamic State met regularly in a prayer room at a hospital in Lower Austria, where they exchanged information, shared ISIS propaganda materials, and recruited for the jihad in Syria. The alleged conspirators are now in investigative custody.

Praising ISIS

Lower Austria: Prayer room in a hospital meeting point for jihadis

March 17 2017

The Islamic prayer room in the university hospital of St. Pölten allegedly served as a meeting point for ISIS sympathizers on a regular basis. Three times per week, ISIS and the Jihad in Syria were advertised there. The group of terror suspects recently arrested in St. Pölten allegedly met there, too.

According to a Kurier report on Friday, there were also criminal plots hatched in the room, for example for robbing a weapons store. Karl Wurzer, a spokesman the State Prosecutor, can only verify that the suspects met and communicated with each other. The leader of the Office for the Protection of the Constitution, Roland Scherscher, says that they are “not pleased that information which endangers the investigations is being published.”

“Dozens of relevant Salafist books”

On March 6 five suspects were arrested. Four of them, along with a young man who was arrested the week after, are in investigative custody. Several digital media devices were secured during house searches, and, according to the daily newspaper, also “dozens of relevant Salafist books”.

19-year-old threatened “Infidels”

According to the report, at the beginning of the year there were indicators concerning a 19-year-old who was being increasingly radicalized, and who, along with two Chechens and one Macedonian, among others, made appearances at proselytizing missions on the street. The young man, who allegedly also threatened an “infidel” colleague, drew attention in a training center, which informed the police. In a WhatsApp group, the suspects allegedly exchanged photos from the terror militia, the report continues.

A Night Out With the Dancing Boys

Posted on by

We’ve written a number of times in the past about the traditional practice of pederasty in Islam, and the “dancing boys” of Afghanistan in particular (see “Islam’s Nancy Boys”, “Islam’s Nancy Boys Redux”, the psychological background by Nicolai Sennels, and “Homosexuality in Iraq and Saudi Arabia”). It’s a difficult subject to deal with, because it’s so deeply abhorrent to most Westerners. Nevertheless, the custom is widespread — perhaps near universal — in the Middle East and Muslim areas of South Asia. The typical arrangement, in which a grown man takes a pre-pubescent catamite, is not considered a violation of sharia law.

Amazingly enough, a public discussion of Muslim pederasty has emerged in Sweden, of all places. Many thanks to Tania Groth for translating this article from Dissidenter:

In Afghanistan, men and youth engage in the systematic rape of children in a tradition called “Bacha Bazi”. Afghan “authorities” turn a blind eye to this practice, as it is part of their culture.

In 2015 a total of 41,564 asylum seekers arrived from Afghanistan. 34,251 men, 7,313 women and 30,080 “children” under 18 years of which 23 480 are “minors”. This represents a catastrophic number of potential victims and perpetrators.

Source: Swedish Migration Board

“Bacha Bazi” translates to “Boys for play”

Bacha Bazi is a widespread phenomenon in Afghanistan, where young boys are taken away from their (poor) families at the age of 11 to 13 to be used as sex slaves to older men who are often rich businessmen and warlords. The young boys learn to dance and sing. They then dress up as women and dance for the older men. Sexual abuse of the boys also occurs.

Parents receive payment to send their children to these people to engage in this activity. Those of the boys who try to leave the practice may be risking their lives. According to the law in Afghanistan this kind of activity is prohibited but the law is not enforced in practice. The authorities choose not to act and any abuse is rarely punished.

Now they have taken the culture with them here, and the Swedish authorities seem to have much the same view as the authorities in Afghanistan. Afghan pedophiles who rape children avoid deportation in most of the cases we have followed. It must also be remembered that these pedophiles do not even have right to asylum as they come from Afghanistan.

Swedish authorities do not want to highlight this growing epidemic, but have instead chosen to let people suffer, hoping that the problem will disappear without its being brought forth into the public light.

Ivar Arpi writes about this in the article “Refugee Boys sexually abused” in SvD (Svenska Dagbladet — a Swedish publication).

Islam v Free Speech —The Political Show Trial of Tim Burton

Posted on by

Below is a press release from Liberty GB about the upcoming trial of Tim Burton in London.

  • Tim Burton of Liberty GB faces trial on 27 March 2017 for satirical emails sent to Tell Mama Muslim organisation
  • Charge of ‘Religiously Aggravated Harassment’ could put him in prison for two years
  • Tell Mama Director, Fiyaz Mughal, is an adviser to Crown Prosecution Service, which decided to prosecute the case
  • Tell Mama advises the police on ‘Islamophobia’, even though the organisation’s statistics were found to be fraudulent

On Monday 27 March 2017, one of the most important political show trials of the century is taking place at Southwark Crown Court in London.

Tim Burton, a member of the Executive Council of the political party Liberty GB, is being prosecuted for sending five satirical emails, employing mockery and ridicule, to Tell Mama UK, an organisation run by the prominent Muslim Fiyaz Mughal OBE.

Fiyaz Mughal has declared himself to be harassed and distressed by the satirical emails, sent by Mr Burton in response to a job advertisement for a caseworker on the Tell Mama website in April 2016.

At one point in the emails, Tim Burton referred to Mr Mughal as “the Mendacious, Grievance-Mongering Taqiyya-Artist-In-Chief of Tell Mama UK”. Taqiyya is part of the Islamic doctrine of deceit, divinely sanctioned in Islam’s ‘holy book’, the Quran — a doctrine that tells Muslims they may deceive non-Muslims if the goal is to advance the cause of Islam or to prevent the denigration of Islam in the eyes of non-Muslims.

The Metropolitan Police and Crown Prosecution Service complied with alacrity to Mr Mughal’s request to have Tim Burton charged and prosecuted for Religiously Aggravated Harassment — a charge which on conviction can result in a substantial fine or a long prison sentence.

Fiyaz Mughal sits on a panel that advises the Crown Prosecution Service on how to prosecute cases of so-called ‘Islamophobia’.

His organisation Tell Mama UK works closely with the Metropolitan Police to deal robustly with the wave of ‘Islamophobia’ that is supposedly sweeping the country and terrorising the Muslim community.

We venture to suggest that a non-Muslim making a comparable complaint about a Muslim would have been laughed out of the police station or the courtroom, at the very least told to stop wasting police time.

Fiyaz Mughal was called out by Andrew Gilligan of The Daily Telegraph in June 2013 for (allegedly) fraudulently manipulating so-called ‘hate crime’ figures of Tell Mama UK in the wake of the Lee Rigby murder in order to maintain his taxpayer-funded grant. Following this exposure, Tell Mama UK was investigated and temporarily had its funding withdrawn. Strangely, no charges of fraud were ever brought by the police or CPS.
