US Interceptor Missile Shot Down ICBM Over Pacific

(Courtney Kube’s article direct from The NBC NEWS on 29 May 2017.)

US interceptor missile launched from Vandenberg Air Base.

WASHINGTON — The Pentagon successfully tested a U.S. long-range interceptor missile over the Pacific Ocean on Tuesday in an exercise aimed at helping gauge American readiness to counter a potential threat from North Korea.

During the test, the Pentagon's Missile Defense Agency launched an interceptor rocket from an underground silo at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. The interceptor hit and destroyed an intercontinental-range missile fired from a test site on Kwajalein Atoll in the Pacific, the Pentagon announced.

U.S. Missile Defense Agency Director Vice Adm. Jim Syring called the test a "critical milestone" in a statement. "This system is vitally important to the defense of our homeland, and this test demonstrates that we have a capable, credible deterrent against a very real threat. I am incredibly proud of the warfighters who executed this test and who operate this system every day," Syring said.

Hatred Of Women Is (Islam's) Jihadism’s First Pillar

(Nina Burleigh’s article direct from The NEWSWEEK on 10 January 2016.)

Conservatives, jihadis and atheist Islamophobes often preach that we are engaged in a war of civilizations between the post-Enlightenment West and Islamic religious extremists. Such apocalyptic talk only feeds the Islamic State (ISIS) death-cult’s recruitment.

A meme with the national security punditocracy on jihadis is that they hate our freedom. Of course, the vast majority of Muslims on the planet are not at war with the West. On the contrary, tens of millions are voting with their feet right now, for the West.

But there is one of our freedoms that some of the jihadis do want to crush. How many Colognes and Tahrir Squares, how many ISIS sex slave fatwas, how many Afghan and Pakistani schoolgirls shot or threatened, and how many Saudi prison sentences for gang-rape survivors will it take before people start to understand that hatred of feminism is the first pillar of modern jihadism?

Why Do Islamists Kill? Because They Hate Women!

(Douglas Murray’s article direct from The SUN UK on 30 May 2017.)

DOUGLAS MURRAY: Why do Islamists kill? Because they hate women… so where does this hatred come from? It's in Islam's origins and too few people are willing to admit it. EVEN after all these years, all these attacks and all these dead, the West still keeps asking the same question: “Who would do such a thing?”

The answer is always the same. Disdain for women is a constant of Islamic history. Sometimes the culprits are home-grown. Sometimes they are recent arrivals. Sometimes they have been in the West for generations, eat fish and chips and play cricket. Sometimes the perpetrator is a lone wolf, unknown to the authorities. More often it turns out to be a “known wolf”, in the peripheral vision of the security ­services.

Yet still our society wonders: What would make someone do such a thing? The tone of bafflement is strange — like a society that keeps asking a question, but keeps its fingers lodged firmly in its ears whenever it is given the answer.

23,000 Jihadis In UK: Ready To Die & Kill For Allah

(Jamie Micklethwaite’s article direct from The DAILY STAR UK on 28 May 2017.)

Will anyone believe this is Manchester, not Karachi?

AROUND 23,000 terrorist extremists are currently living in Britain and are poised to attack – according to intelligence figures. More than 3,000 people from this group are being actively monitored and are judged to pose a threat to national security.

The other 20,000 were previously monitored or investigated and are believed to pose a “residual risk”. This news comes after coward Salman Abedi, 22, blew himself up in a sickening suicide bombing at the Manchester Arena on Monday, killing 22 people.

Security minister Ben Wallace told The Times: “The figures reveal the scale of the challenge from terrorism in the 21st century. “Never has to been more important to invest in intelligence-led policing.”

Activist Judges Freeing Muslim Child-Rapists In Europe

(Indra Warnes’s articledirect from The UK EXPRESS on 23 October 2016.)

‘He didn’t know the boy didn’t want to be raped’ court throws out migrant child sex charge: An Iraqi asylum seeker who confessed to anally raping a 10-year-old boy in an Austrian  swimming pool, claiming it was a "sexual emergency", has had his conviction overturned.

In a truly shocking twist the Suptreme Court decided the grown Iraqi man may not have realised the 10-year-old Austrian boy did not want to be sexually abused by him. Amir A, 20, was visiting the Theresienbad pool in the Austrian capital of Vienna last December as part of a trip to encourage integration. When the youngster went to the showers, Amir A. allegedly followed him, pushed him into a toilet cubicle, and violently sexually assaulted him.

Following the attack, the accused rapist returned to the pool and was practising on the diving board when police arrived, after the 10-year-old raised the alarm with the lifeguard. The child suffered severe anal injuries which had to be treated at a local children's hospital, and is still plagued by serious post-traumatic stress disorder.

Mohammad Bin Qasim: The First Pakistani?

(Nadeem Paracha’s article direct from The DAWN Magazine on 12 April 2015.)

The first Pakistani? Ever since the early 1970s, the Jamaat-i-Islami (JI), has been frequently organising ‘Yaum Babul Islam’ — an event in which the party celebrates the conquest of Sindh by Arab commander Mohammad Bin Qasim (in the 8th century CE), explaining it as the ‘advent of Islam in South Asia’.

Speakers at this event also describe Qasim as the ‘first Pakistani’ and then trace and place the creation of Pakistan to the arrival of the Arab commander 1,300 years ago. Overplayed or underplayed by historians and scholars, this general from Arabia remains a mystery to many.

Curiously, the JI was originally opposed to the man who actually created Pakistan (in 1947): Mohammad Ali Jinnah. JI’s founder, Abul Ala Maududi, had found Jinnah to be steeped in the ‘Western notion’ of nationalism and too Westernised to deliver and head a Muslim state.

Breast Ironing In UK: As Widespread As FGM In Muslims

(Anthony Bond’s article direct from The MIRROR UK on 10 April 2016.)

Breast-ironing to be banned in UK.

Hundreds of British mums 'breast-ironing' their daughters using red-hot rocks, hammers and spatulas. There are now calls for it to be made a criminal offence after revelations about the barbaric ritual emerged this week

Hundreds of British mums are "breast-ironing" their daughters using (heated) rocks, hammers and spatulas - with an MP now calling for the practice to be made a criminal offence. It is thought more than 1,000 women across the UK have been subjected to the barbaric ritual.

The sickening act is commonplace in parts of Muslim Africa, but those at the ­frontline of child protection say it is also happening in African Muslim communities in the UK. It has now resulted Conservative MP Jake Berry calling for "breast-ironing" to be made a criminal offence.

Manchester: Muslim Suicide-Bomber Killed Many Children

(Breaking news articles direct from various online sources on 23 May 2017.)

Manchester bombing: 22 people dead, 119 injured in suicide attack: At least 22 people, including many children, have died in an explosion outside a concert venue in Manchester, England, which police believe was a suicide bombing attack.

Another 59 people are being treated for injuries in eight hospitals after the suicide-bombing blast just outside the Manchester Arena, where an Ariana Grande concert had just concluded at around 10:30 p.m. local time on Monday. Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the attack, according to Reuters.

“We have been treating this as a terrorist incident and we believe, at this stage, the attack last night was conducted by one man. The priority is to establish whether he was acting alone or as part of a network,” Ian Hopkins, chief constable of Greater Manchester Police, said in a statement Tuesday. The police chief said the attacker was carrying an “improvised explosive device” that he detonated at the scene, causing the deaths and injuries. The attacker died at the site, Hopkins confirmed.
