Muslim Gang Force Teenagers to "Lick Their Boots" During Train Ordeal

The always excellent Opinionator put me on to the following disturbing story from Thursday's Birmingham Mail.

Police are seeking a large gang of "Asian" youths, including at least one female, who subjected three teenage boys to a humiliating ordeal under the threat of violence during a 30 minute train ride, before robbing them.

Here is the full story and the pictures of those the British Transport Police are currently seeking to "help them with their enquiries," as we say in this increasingly unfortunate part of the world:

RAILWAY police are hunting a gang of thugs who told three teenagers: “Lick our boots” during a 30-minute terror journey into Birmingham.

Officers said the boys – two 16-year-olds and another aged 17 – were also threatened with violence and suffered a “humiliating and degrading” ordeal at the hands of the gang.

British Transport Police today released CCTV images of eight people, including a girl, they want to trace in connection with the incident.

It happened when the louts boarded the New Street-bound train at Blake Street Station, near Sutton Coldfield.

Det Con Tim Friend, from British Transport Police, described the ordeal as “degrading bullying” and appealed for help to find the culprits.

“A group of between eight and ten Asian males and females bullied the lads for the whole of the 30-minute journey,” he said.

“They were told ‘kiss our feet’ and anyone who said no was threatened with violence. It was pretty unpleasant.”

A British Transport Police spokesman said: “We are seeking to identify the individuals pictured who we would like to speak to in connection with a robbery on a train service between Blake Street and New Street stations.

“Three young males were subjected to a protracted ordeal of bullying before having property stolen under threat of further violence.”

The victims were heading into the city for a concert on board a train that left Lichfield City station at 5.50pm on November 9 last year.

Police said the ordeal lasted until the train arrived at New Street.

The frightened lads were eventually robbed of their mobile phones, cash, train tickets and one had a concert ticket stolen.

Their assailants were seen giggling and joking with each other as they left the train.

The victims raised the alarm shortly after the train arrived in Birmingham, telling police the torment left them feeling “humiliated and degraded”.

Police checked CCTV footage from the station and Pallasades shopping centre to catch the culprits.

Detectives are now appealing to Birmingham Mail readers to help identify a group of people they want to speak to in connection with the incident after their own investigations drew a blank.

* Anyone who recognises those in the images or who has any information about the incident should contact Det Con Tim Friend on 0121 654 2244 or 0800 405040.

Of course, the police don't speculate why the gang would wish to humiliate and degrade their victims before robbing them - and I don't expect too many searching questions will be asked if they're caught.

Strangely, news of this crime has yet to reach the national media outlets, too - I wonder why that could be?

Labour Party "Infiltrated" by Islamists

Labour Environment Minister Jim Fitzpatrick claims that a Muslim organisation he describes as "fundamentalist" has infiltrated the Labour Party in order to further its own goals. He also claims it is operating in a similar fashion with the Conservative Party and the Liberal Democrats.

The article is worth reproducing in full:

The Islamic Forum of Europe (IFE) — which believes in jihad and sharia law, and wants to turn Britain and Europe into an Islamic state — has placed sympathisers in elected office and claims, correctly, to be able to achieve “mass mobilisation” of voters.

Speaking to The Sunday Telegraph, Jim Fitzpatrick, the Environment Minister, said the IFE had become, in effect, a secret party within Labour and other political parties.

“They are acting almost as an entryist organisation, placing people within the political parties, recruiting members to those political parties, trying to get individuals selected and elected so they can exercise political influence and power, whether it’s at local government level or national level,” he said.

“They are completely at odds with Labour’s programme, with our support for secularism.”

Mr Fitzpatrick, the MP for Poplar and Canning Town, said the IFE had infiltrated and “corrupted” his party in east London in the same way that the far-Left Militant Tendency did in the 1980s. Leaked Labour lists show a 110 per cent rise in party membership in one constituency in two years.

In a six-month investigation by this newspaper and Channel 4’s Dispatches, involving weeks of covert filming by the programme’s reporters:

• IFE activists boasted to the undercover reporters that they had already “consolidated … a lot of influence and power” over Tower Hamlets, a London borough council with a £1 billion budget.
• We have established that the group and its allies were awarded more than £10 million of taxpayers’ money, much of it from government funds designed to “prevent violent extremism”.
• IFE leaders were recorded expressing opposition to democracy, support for sharia law or mocking black people. The IFE organised meetings with extremists, including Taliban allies, a man named by the US government as an “unindicted co-conspirator” in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, and a man under investigation by the FBI for his links to the September 11 attacks.
• Moderate Muslims in London told how the IFE and its allies were enforcing their hardline views on the rest of the local community, curbing behaviour they deemed “un-Islamic”. The owner of a dating agency received a threatening email from an IFE activist, warning her to close it.
• George Galloway, a London MP, admitted in recordings obtained by this newspaper that his surprise victory in the 2005 election owed more to the IFE “than it would be wise – for them – for me to say, adding that they played a “decisive role” in his triumph at the polls.

Mr Galloway now says they were one of many groups which supported his anti-war stance and had never sought to influence him.

The IFE has particularly close links to Tower Hamlets council. Seven serving and former councillors said Lutfur Rahman, the current council leader, gained his post with the group’s help.

Some said they were canvassed by a senior IFE official on his behalf. After Mr Rahman was elected, a man with close links to the group, Lutfur Ali, was appointed assistant chief executive of the council with responsibility for grant funding.

This was despite a chequered employment record, a misleading CV and a negative report from the headhunters appointed to consider the candidates. The council’s white chief executive was subsequently forced from his post.

Since Mr Rahman became leader, more council grants have been paid to a number of organisations which our investigation established are closely linked to the IFE.

Funding for other, secular groups was ended or cut. In the borough’s well-known Brick Lane area, council funds were switched from a largely secular heritage trail to a highly controversial “hijab sculpture”, angering many residents who accused the council of “religious triumphalism”.

Schools in Tower Hamlets are told by the council should close for the Muslim festival of Eid, even where most of their pupils are not Muslim.

Mr Rahman refused to deny that an IFE activist had canvassed councillors on his behalf. He said: “There are various people across Tower Hamlets who get excited, who get involved.”

He would not comment on concerns about infiltration, saying they were “party matters”. He said: “If you look at our flagship policies, like investing £20 million to tackle overcrowding, you can see that we are working for everyone.”

The IFE said it did not seek to influence the council and had not lobbied for Mr Rahman. “If anything, existing members of the Labour Party have joined the IFE, rather than the other way round,” it said.

The group insisted it was not a fundamentalist or extremist organisation and did not support violence.

Whilst it might still seem shocking to some that this could be occurring in Britain, it really is to be expected.

Various governments have devoted huge amounts of money and effort not only to importing vast numbers of hostile, alien people into the country, but also to telling them that they are victims and their interests can never be reconciled with those of the majority.

This is the result.

I suppose that now various white hard-Left types within Labour realise that the Muslims don't need them anymore and are beginning to strike out on their own, buying their own votes and influence, they are beginning to panic.

It's probably too late for them, just as it's probably too late for us - let's just hope those who actually foisted all this upon us reap what they've sown so readily for others.

The Joys of Diversity & Cultural Enrichment (XXV)

Just a brief reminder of how well government-backed mass immigration is going in three Western countries, and the joy and enrichment brought to their respective citizens in The Netherlands, Britain and the US.


1) The Netherlands:

Gouda local council has given criminal Moroccan teenagers money to stop causing trouble. "We wanted to prevent matters from escalating further," said the council yesterday.

Some dozens of young Moroccans waylaid and robbed passers-by in December. They were 'bought off' by the municipality to keep them off the street around New Year's Eve. They received a combined 2,250 euros, shoved into an envelope, to organise a party, De Telegraaf reported yesterday.

Gouda has confirmed that it paid the troublemakers. "We wanted to prevent maters from escalating further. The youngsters themselves had presented a budget for the party. They had to say how much money they needed for hiring a disc-jockey, a bite to eat and drinks. For us, it was important that it should be quiet in the district around the turn of the year."

According to the council, it had to act quickly. "Although the money was handed over in cash, it was well-spent. Everyone was happy afterwards. We also gave five Moroccans a gift voucher for a book shop afterwards as a thank-you," says a spokeswoman.

Yes, you read that correctly - in The Netherlands the penalty for forming large gangs and robbing innocent people en masse is a cash grant to throw a party, plus a little something extra as a "thank you" for not committing more crime for its duration.

Next time the geniuses at Gouda council feel money burning a hole in their pocket, they might like to consider that flights from The Netherlands to Morocco can be obtained for just under £200 per person - although I guess the handcuffs cost extra.


2) United Kingdom:

TWO rapists were wrestled to the cells as violent scenes erupted when they were put behind bars for a total of 17 years.

Sadiq Hussein, 20, and Abdillahi Adan, 18, hurled vicious abuse at their victim as they were each locked up for eight-and-a-half years. Hussein, of Chatsworth Drive, Edge Hill, and Adan, of Daniel Davies Drive, Toxteth, both denied rape, but were convicted by a jury.

The pair tried to jump from the dock and had to be restrained by security guards and police officers as they screamed threats and insults at their 18-year-old victim.

Liverpool Crown Court heard they had "preyed upon" their vulnerable victim and led her into Princes Park, Toxteth, after she asked for directions.

Judge David Aubrey QC said: "While you both raped her, one after the other, she was distressed, she was crying, she was crying for help and she was crying for you to stop.

"Her fear, anxiety, apprehension, trepidation is in my judgement immeasurable.

"But notwithstanding her cries for you to stop and her cries for help neither of you desisted."

I don't suppose there's any point in asking just what these two upstanding gentlemen were doing here in the first place?

Despite the judge's words, the brutality of the attack and their actions upon being sentenced (showing a violent, sociopathic disregard for everything, including authority, decency and reality), they'll both be out well before they're 30 to enrich someone else's life "beyond measure."


3) United States:

A Bosnian woman accused of trying to strangle her baby on Christmas Eve in Utica is blaming Serbs for her actions.

33-year-old Bosnian Muslim Saliha Mehmedovic told police and firefighters that she choked her baby until the baby turned blue.

Her lawyer, Patrick Marthage, says that Mehmedovic is too traumatized and mentally disturbed to ever truly explain why she choked her 2-½-month-old son Jasmin inside her home.

Marthage called Mehmedovic a “very tragic figure”.

“I think she was the victim of many atrocities in her native country,” Marthage said.

The reporters at the Observer-Dispatch were told that Serbs in Bosnia committed genocide, that Muslim women were massively raped and that Serbs victimized all Bosnian Muslims including Mehmedovic.

“Observer-Dispatch wants their readers to conclude that Serbs are to be blamed for Mehmedovic’s attempt to kill her own baby,” says a commentator.

Mehmedovic came to the US in 2000 with her boyfriend with whom she had a child that suffered a brain injury due to lack of oxygen allegedly at the hands of her boyfriends mother, also Bosnian Muslim.

The case is being prosecuted by First Assistant District Attorney Dawn Catera Lupi.

Iraqi Spits on Hero's WWII Service Medals - Escapes Jail

A shocking story from Thursday's Daily Mail indicates just how little respect many of the "cultural enrichers" who have arrived in this country have for its history, its culture and its traditions - not to mention its citizens.

This is Company Sgt. Major Sam Steadman, wearing the medals he earned during his distinguished military career.

Among them are the Palestine Medal, The Africa Star, The Italy Star and the 1939-1945 Star.

During the Second World War, CSM Steadman, a paratrooper, saw action at Dunkirk and in North Africa. He had joined the Army at just 15 and was the first man in his Company to earn The Military Medal.

Mr Steadman died in 1991, and ever since his grandson Timothy House has attended his local Remebrance Day parade in Portsmouth, wearing his Grandfather's medals in his honour. He does this because he believes it is what his Grandfather would have wished for, and also because he believes his Grandfather's actions, and those of countless thousands like him, should be remembered and respected rather than forgotten.

In 2009, Mr House attended as usual, despite the fact he was recovering from a broken hip. After the parade he was standing outside a pub chatting with some friends, including a wheelchair-bound veteran of 91 he had agreed to accompany and look after so he wouldn't miss out on being able to honour his fallen comrades.

As he stood on the pavement, he was passed by this individual, Iraqi immigrant Serwan Abdullah, 23.

For absolutely no reason, Abdullah spat at Mr House, and his saliva landed on his Grandfather's medals. This modern day representative of Cool Britannia then "ran off".

Mr House was understandably furious, and the police were called. When they caught up with Abdullah, he admitted the offence, then claimed Mr House had spat at him first in a "racist attack," before responding:

"I am proud of what I have done. I have no respect for him. F*** him and f*** his medals."

Of course, the stock defence of every non-white scoundrel ("It was racist, innit guv") turned out to be a lie.

Abdullah walked free from court this week, having been sentenced to pay £200 in damages (£100 in compensation to Mr House and £100 in court costs) and to complete 240 hours of unpaid work.

This in spite of the fact that the magistrate, Stuart Chittendon JP, summarised Abdullah's actions thus:

"The offence you have been convicted of is particularly abhorrent to society."

Indeed, Mr Chittendon. What a shame then that you still felt no real punishment was required. I don't think giving a couple of weeks worth of benefits money back to the public purse (assuming he actually pays up, of course) quite cuts it. Evidently this is why I am not and never will be employed in the British criminal justice system.

The only defence Abdullah's lawyer seemed to offer is that "he now accepts he was not acting in self defence."

Big of him. Unfortunately there is no record of any regret or an apology, or even a cursory understanding of why his actions were wrong and deeply offensive. Not that I'm surprised - it's just worth pointing out.

Abdullah has previous convictions for shoplifting, failure to comply with a community order, battery and criminal damage.

Shocking, I'm sure. Still, at least when I'm an old man Abdullah and his ilk will be stealing paying my pension, assuming such a thing still exists - right?

Well, clearly not. Despite the fact Abdullah is happy to enjoy our generous hospitality for as long as we're stupid enough to provide it, he clearly despises everything about this country and what it stands for. What could demonstrate that more clearly (other than his long criminal record) than spitting on the medals of a military veteran?

The article informs us:

Falklands veteran Chris Purcell, a parade martial with the Royal British Legion in Portsmouth, described Abdullah's actions as 'despicable’.

The 50-year-old former petty officer said: "To spit on the medals of a man who fought for our country is disgusting. It's a huge insult."

Yes, it is. But that's just the point - Mr Steadman fought for Britain, for our country, for the British people (you know, those hideously white types who don't actually exist), including his own children and grandchildren.

He did not fight for a criminal Arab Muslim who thinks preying on infidels is his god-given right anyway, and simply can't believe his luck at just what the spoils for him actually are in our weak, degraded country.

He can do whatever he likes and get away with it, as he's proved, several times. Mr Steadman may have fought for many things, but he did not fight for that. For all Abdullah's faults, he can see he's not "one of us" - even though any of the other people in the article would risk prosecution for pointing that very simple and very obvious fact out. He's just here to use us, to leech off of us, because the sad truth is we will let him, and we will persecute anyone who says enough is enough.

Yet still, for many, the siren-song of Leftism continues. Out of 30 comments on the Daily Mail article, one was the barely believable:

What you have to realise is that he has an opinion of Western culture based on his life in Iraq. He probably despises the WEST, and given the appalling way that some of our Soldiers have behaved out there towards the Iraqi people, who could blame him? Whilst not condoning what he did, he has EVERY right to protest about anything that he chooses - it's called Democracy.

- Sarah, Aylesbury, Bucks, 25/2/2010 10:15

Well, Sarah, if he despises the West so much, why did he come here? Since when has spitting at a group of people who are minding their own business then lying about the exact nature of the encounter to shift the blame counted as "democratic protest"?

If Sarah's so fond of democracy, perhaps she'll back a public vote on whether or not Abdullah should be immediately deported - after all, Iraq can do with all the democratic thinking it can get, and Abdullah can happily sit and ponder on just how much he despises the West - without it funding his lifestyle. Perhaps he'll be able to enjoy the benefits of Iraqi justice for bit, too.

Despite my disapproval of her aims, we should be grateful nonetheless for comments such as Sarah's; firstly it's the perfect window into the Leftist mindset, and secondly she almost admits too much, more than all the other bluster in the article put together - i.e. the West is currently letting in thousands upon thousands of people who despise it, and continue to do so whilst they are here and living off of it.

One would think we'd had enough warnings already.

Gang of Somalis in Minnesota Film Attacks on Passersby

The following video shows a gang of Somalis, going by nicknames and exposing their real names, attacking cyclists, pedestrians and passersby in St. Paul, Minnesota.

The footage shows them turning to the camera, mouthing "watch this", before launching a series of violent assaults on innocent strangers, including children and the elderly:


According to the Star Tribune:

In the video, one of the attackers chases two young children who appear to be walking home from school and shoves one of them down a hill. Another throws something into the face of a convenience store cashier.

At least one incident appears to have occurred along the Midtown Greenway in Minneapolis, where the attackers jump out at a cyclist, punching at him with boxing gloves.

Other incidents appear to have taken place in St. Paul, including at the intersection of University and Lexington avenues.

The creator of the video, who posted it online Monday, describes the attackers as "a group of Somali black males pulling pranks on people."

Authorities aren't laughing.

"It's disturbing to watch," said St. Paul police Sgt. Paul Schnell. "Our first objective is that we want it to stop because we don't want somebody getting hurt." Schnell said the video also could lead to criminal charges.

Schnell said several citizens e-mailed the video to police Tuesday morning.

"With absolute certainty, there is a desire to talk to these people," Schnell said. "Whether criminal charges are brought will be dependent upon our ability to match the incident with actual reports by the victims."

According to the same source, two have been traced and arrested:

St. Paul police have arrested an adult and a juvenile in connection with a series of random attacks in Minneapolis and St. Paul that were recorded on video and posted on YouTube.

A 19-year-old was booked into the Ramsey County jail, and a 17-year-old was taken to a juvenile detention center. Both were booked Tuesday on suspicion of strong-arm robbery and aggravated assault, according to St. Paul police reports.

St. Paul Police Sgt. Paul Schnell said police were searching for two others who were recorded on camera participating in the assaults, while the remaining others -- at least four -- would be considered persons of interest.

"From what we have seen in the footage, there were only four people that we can connect with possible criminal activity in the city of St. Paul that were clearly and directly involved in the planning and/or execution of these attacks," Schnell said.

He said that a handful of victims have come forward, and about four reports were filed as of late Wednesday afternoon. One victim told police he was tackled from behind by an unknown male at 6 p.m. Saturday while walking east on Grand Avenue near Avon Street in St. Paul. "Assault was probably posted on YouTube," the police report said.

It's nice to see Somalis in America, provided with opportunities beyond the imagining of many of their compatriots, showing the restraint and decorum that blighted country is renouned for.

Woman Violently Sexually Assaulted During Cricklewood Burglary

From The Times Series:

AN E-FIT of one of the masked men wanted for questioning after a sexual assault in Cricklewood has been released by police.

Detectives in Brent have sent out the image in the hope of gathering information into the attack on October 24.

Police said four men wearing masks and gloves broke into the address in Oxgate Lane at about 4.45am.

A 19-year-old woman woke up to find one of the men on top of her, pinning her down, while the other three suspects searched the room.

The woman was subjected to a violent sexual assault during the raid, police added.

The suspects then stole a quantity of cash and valuable property before running off towards Coles Green Road.

Officers said damage was found to the letter box, which they believe may have been tampered with to break into the property.

PC Savi Arora, an officer in case, said: "This crime involved the suspects using gratuitous and unnecessary violence against the victim and taking the property.”

Anyone with any information is urged to contact Brent Police in confidence on 0208 733 2650 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

"Asian" Attempts to Abduct Woman in Manchester

From the BBC:

A man sexually assaulted a woman before trying to drag into his car near a petrol station in Manchester.

The 19-year-old victim was near the Tesco Express garage on Upper Brook Street, Longsight, when the man asked her for the time.

He sexually assaulted the woman and tried to pull her into a silver car, before she struggled free.

Police are trying to trace a man and woman who confronted the attacker during the incident on Monday evening.

He told the pair that the victim was his girlfriend and that he was trying to speak to her.

Det Con Dave Ogden, of Greater Manchester Police, said: "I would urge anyone who witnessed what happened, especially the man and woman who confronted the attacker, to contact police.

"The victim is understandably upset and we are doing everything we can to catch this man."

The attacker is described as Asian, about 5ft 5in tall, medium build and had black short hair.

Turkish Take-Away Boss Groped 2 Women in 1 Night

From The Morpeth Herald:

A TAKE-AWAY owner groped two women revellers who stopped outside his shop, a court heard.

Mehmet Gilgiler, 40, groped one woman as she tried to get into a car after a night out in Morpeth on August 30 last year, Newcastle Crown Court was told.

Turkish national Gilgiler attacked as his victim was standing outside his Salt and Pepper take-away around midnight.

He then snatched a camera from the victim's friend as she tried to take a picture of him as evidence, Newcastle Crown Court was told.

He returned inside his shop, but just hours later he sexually assaulted another woman, as she waited outside the restaurant at 3am.

Gilgiler took her handbag and, while an accomplice held her back, Gilgiler groped the distraught girl.

Gilgiler, who has since moved to London, was arrested.

He pleaded guilty to two counts of sexual assault on the day his trial was due to start at Newcastle Crown Court.

Jason Elliott, defending, said Gilgiler, with no previous convictions, was horrified at his offending.

He said Gilgiler had obtained British citizenship and was a hard working member of the community.

"He recognises that this behaviour is not only wrong but also insulting to women," said Mr Elliott.

Judge Esmond Faulks gave Gilgiler a six-month jail sentence, suspended for two years.

He must also sign on the sex offenders' register for seven years, and attend a sex offender treatment programme.

The judge told Gilgiler: "You need to learn that although English girls when they go out may show more of their bodies than Turkish girls, it does not mean that a stranger such as yourself can touch them."

Two "Asians" Jailed for Beating Lone Man in Northampton

From The Northampton Chronicle:

An innocent man had a tooth knocked out after being attacked by two men who mistakenly believed he had attacked their friend in a Northampton nightclub.

Kamal Hussain, aged 26, was jailed for 13 months at Northampton Crown Court yesterday after he admitted carrying out the attack in Bridge Street, Northampton.

Co-accused Amardeep Masih, aged 25, was fined for his involvement when he admitted a lesser assault charge, having joined in the attack on Simon Billington.

David Lee, prosecuting, said Mr Billington was on a night out at Crush nightclub at 2.45am on September 23 last year, when he saw a friend involved in a disturbance.

As he ran off down Bridge Street, Mr Billington followed him out but lost sight of him. He was then confronted by Hussain and another man who asked if he was looking for "the white boy".

When he said he was, CCTV cameras captured him being punched up to 10 times in the face as Masih joined in the attack and Hussain kicked him while on the ground.

Mr Billington lost a tooth, suffered a black eye, lost a large amount of blood and was only saved when a passing motorist intervened.

Mr Lee said: "The suggestion is that there was an incident inside the club when someone was injured. It appears these defendants thought Mr Billington had been involved in that, but there was no suggestion he was. By any view, Mr Billington had nothing to do with it."

The pair had been due to face a trial yesterday but changed their pleas at the last minute.

Hussain, of Adams Avenue, Abington, admitted inflicting actual bodily harm and was jailed for 13 months.

Masih, of North Paddock Court, Lings admitted assault, was fined £350 with £250 costs.

Judge Charles Wide QC said: "The courts take this sort of mindless violence seriously."

Omar Ali Jailed for Rape & Sexual Assault of Young Teenagers in Birmingham

From The Birmingham Mail:

A “SEXUAL predator” who picked up two teenage girls in Birmingham before luring them to a flat and raping one of them has been jailed for 13 years.

Omar Ali, 25, of Park Terrace, Handsworth, was said by a judge to have “prowled” the city’s shopping centres in search of vulnerable young women.

Judge William Davis QC said Ali persuaded two 14-year-olds from Nuneaton to come with him to a flat, where he raped one and sexually asssaulted the other.

Jailing him, the judge said Ali had “struck lucky” in his own mind because both victims had fallen out with their parents.

He said: “It is perfectly plain from the pre-sentence report that you are a sexual predator. You are someone who wishes to exercise control.”

The judge said it was that which made him dangerous and somebody who presented a significant risk of serious harm to the public.

It was fortunate, he said, that neither of the 14-year-olds appeared to have suffered serious psychological damage as a result of what Ali had done to them.

Ali had previously been convicted by a jury at Birmingham Crown Court of two charges of rape and one of sexual assault.

Wilvert Harris, defending, said Ali, who was of previous good character, had shown immaturity when he gave evidence during his trial.

Khalled Ullah & Ahed Ali Charged with Rape of 16 Year Old

From The Romney Marsh Times:

Two men have been charged with the rape of a 16-year-old girl in Ashford over the weekend. The men, both from Ashford, were arrested and charged on Sunday after the alleged attack on Saturday night.

Khalled Ullah, aged 20, from Somerset Road and Ahed Ali, aged 25, from Whitfield Road will appear at Ashford Magistrates Court today – 16th November.

Doctor Caught Masturbating Outside School

From This is South Wales:

A TEENAGE girl described today how she saw a hospital doctor "feel himself up" while on her way to school.

The 13-year-old told Cardiff Crown Court she recalled seeing a dark-skinned man sitting in a parked car moving his hand up and down in May last year.

A man fitting a similar description was seen on four other occasions allegedly masturbating close to a secondary school in Bridgend, between October 2007 and July 2008.

Police eventually arrested and charged Krishnasamy Sangameswaran from Bridgend with five counts of outraging public decency after a number plate provided by one witness matched his Toyota.

The 33-year-old employee of the University Hospital of Wales, Cardiff, denies the offences.

In a recorded interview with South Wales Police from September of last year, the witness, who was aged 12 at the time of the incident, said she was on her way to morning lessons with some friends when she came across a man sitting in the driver's seat of a silver car with his window down.

She said: "I saw a white tissue on his lap and he was just moving up and down....like a bounce."

When the interviewing officer asked what was moving, she replied: "His hand."

She said his hand was clenching a tissue at the time. She added: "He was feeling himself up."

When the officer asked whether she saw the man's penis, she replied: "No."

During his opening yesterday, prosecuting barrister Hywel Hughes said the defendant had conceded being in the same area of the alleged offences "two or three times" before but only to assess the merits of the school in question.

He also said he had a habit of shaking his leg which might have led to the girls mistakenly thinking he was masturbating.

Mr Hughes added: "What the crown say is that on each and every occasion it was the defendant present at the location.

"He was masturbating in an area where he could have been, and was seen, by children going to and from school and we invite you to say that actions of that kind in which the girls explained are clearly capable of outraging public decency."

Appeal Launched for "Southwark Grabber"

From Southwark News:

Police in Southwark are appealing for anyone who recognises this man to get in touch, following a disturbing incident.

On Thursday, June 25 2009, at around 2.15pm, the suspect knocked at an address in Whitworth House, Falmouth Road.

When the 41-year-old victim answered the door he asked if her husband was home, before making suggestive comments and grabbing the victim by the wrists. She managed to close the door and the suspect left.

Detective Constable Colin Dady said: "We are unsure at this stage what the suspect's intentions were, but this was a disturbing incident, which has left the victim very shaken. I would urge anyone who recognises the suspect to contact police".

The suspect is described as a light skinned black man, aged approx 21-25 years, about 6' tall with black hair in plaits. At the time of the incident he was wearing a yellow t-shirt and blue jeans.

"Asian" Thieves Targeted Pensioners

From The Ealing Gazette:

A GANG who targeted elderly and vulnerable people as they were using cash machines in the borough have been jailed for a total of five and a half years.

Between December 2008 and February 2009, around £5,000 was stolen by the four accomplices during distraction thefts at ATMs in Ealing and neighbouring boroughs.

Khader Bouabdallah, 19, Abdul Malik, 20, and 30-year-old Abbas Monier, all from East London appeared at Isleworth Crown Court at the end of October where they were found guilty of the 11 ATM thefts.

A fourth member, Hatab Bouabdallah, 18, received a 12-month supervision order and was ordered to complete 100 hours of community service for her involvement in the thefts.

Ealing Police worked closely with the Business Improvement District (BID), Ealing Broadway Shopping Centre and the town centre banks to catch the criminals.

PC Graeme Finlay from Ealing Broadway Safer Neighbourhood Team said: "We became concerned with a sudden rise in this type of crime in our area. We worked closely with our partners to catch the perpetrators.

"Following the consultation, all parties involved recognised the problem of ATM thefts and agreed to deal with the issue with urgency. My colleagues and I are very pleased that we were able to catch those responsible and bring them to justice.

"I believe the sentences given will be seen as a sufficient deterrent and send a strong message to all those who seek to engage in this type of criminal activity."

"Asian" Man Publicly Pleasures Himself After Asking for Directions

From The Ilford Recorder:

POLICE are hunting a middle-aged man who started pleasuring himself after asking women for directions.

Officers said two incidents happened on Friday as the women walked in Goodmayes.

The first was in Thurlestone Avenue at 2pm, the second in Broadhurst Avenue just 12 minutes later.

The man is described as Asian, aged 30 to 35, 6ft tall with short black hair and wearing a black leather jacket, a black shirt and black trousers.

Anyone with information is asked to call Det Con Tasmin Willoughby on 020 8345 2711.

African Student Plied 13 Year Old Girl with Alcohol Before Sex

From The Bournemouth Echo:

A FOREIGN student who plied a 13-year-old girl with alcohol before having sex with her has been sent to a young offenders’ institution for 20 months.

Louis Campion, 19, from Jefferson Avenue, Bournemouth, pleaded guilty to a single charge of sexual activity with a child on May 2 this year.

Prosecuting at Bournemouth Crown Court, David Bartlett said Campion had met his victim and two of her friends in Holdenhurst Road.

The girls agreed to go back to Campion’s flat with him and two other men.

“Once there, they were offered drink and had quite a lot of vodka,” added Mr Bartlett.

“The victim, who was nearly 14, went into a bedroom with the defendant. When he made a move she ran out of the flat but he persuaded her to come back. There were no physical injuries.”

During interview Campion, who is from Gambia, agreed that he had invited the girls back to the flat.

His victim, who cannot be named for legal reasons, had been “tipsy” and he had also been under the influence of alcohol.

Campion told police he had thought the girls were 16.

Mr Bartlett said: “The aggravating feature is that Mr Campion plied this girl with drink. Young girls like her still need to be protected by the law even when they do unwise things.”

In Campion’s defence, the court heard that he accepted he had made “an enormous mistake” but had pleaded guilty at the first opportunity.

His victim had been sexually experienced and her main concern was that she would be “grounded by her mother”.

Campion was “a hard-working young man” who had deferred a university place pending the outcome of the case.

Sentencing Campion, Judge Samuel Wiggs told him: “I have come to the conclusion that I cannot justify a sentence which is not immediate custody.”

Campion must register as a sex offender for 10 years and has been banned from working with children.

Note that this "hard working young man" will not be deported after completing his sentence, and the article spends more time assassinating his victim's character than judging him for his reprehensible actions.

Whose Country Is It Anyway?

Two Lithuanians have been sent to jail for attacking a man and his two daughters who confronted them about their anti-social behaviour.

The twist is that the man who was attacked, Mr Boateng, is black. Apparently, the two thugs made monkey noises before they attacked him.

Is this particularly relevant? Well, as he sentenced Mindaugus Krisiukenas, 20, and Paulius Kulikauskas, 24, the judge told them:

"It's their country, not yours."

Under no other circumstances would he have made such a remark - or been permitted to. If he had said that to any other foreign criminals, no matter how heinous the offence (I know that to the elite rape and murder are not as heinous as incorrect attitudes, but work with me here), he would have been denounced as a racist himself, and probably harassed out of his job.

I'm not condoning the behaviour of the two Lithuanians, or disputing that they deserve to go to prison; it's just that in my world, it is attacking an innocent family that warrants a custodial sentence, rather than stupid name calling or politically incorrect opinions.

I just thought this case was worthy of note; not once in my (unfortunately) extensive reading of all manner of crimes being perpetrated against British people in their own land by foreigners have I ever heard a judge express such a sentiment - or even felt that they would wish to, that they were thinking it very deep down.

The only conclusion that I can come to is that, in the view of the elite, whilst British-born minorities are entitled to be protected from unenlightened foreigners who do not have the benefits of political correctness, brain-washing from birth and diversity of their own, the rest of us are not entitled to be protected from foreign crime, from people who come from violent, hard societies where attitudes are often very different - and even expressing such a wish marks one out as a bigot.

For what does "It's their country, not yours," mean?

It means if you don't want to play the game and fit in, then you can leave, because you are not welcome.

If only we could persuade the majority of judges that that sentiment should apply to all violent crime and subversion of our society rather than being politically incorrect, then we might stand a fighting chance of saving our country.

A Snapshot from Britain's Courts (VI)

Abuse of Public Funds

I thought I would compile four articles I found recently which show just how public money is spent in Britain.

Although the vast majority of the money discussed is taxpayers' cash, some is from charitable organisations which use the money of unwitting donors to fund exclusively ethnic or faith-based organisations - which would be banned if set up by the indigenous majority.

The first article concerns £550,000 which will be spent "improving grades and employment opportunities" in Bradford's Islamic supplementary schools:

A £550,000 programme is aiming to improve grades and employment rates in some of Bradford's Islamic supplementary schools.

The Open Madrasah Network is a pilot project which will offer additional support in some of the district's madaris.

Four madaris in the area are initially taking part in the scheme, believed to be the first of its kind in the country

Of those taking part initially, one madrasah is in Keighley and three are in Bradford.

The madaris participating in the project will receive English and maths tutoring along with supplementary GCSE courses, careers advice and jobs fairs.

From January the network will be expanded to include a further 15 madaris.

Speaking ahead of the project's launch yesterday at the House of Lords, Bradford Council leader Kris Hopkins said: "We are travelling to London to show how Bradford district is at the cutting edge of education and social change in Britain.

"By providing additional support within madaris we are reaching into the heart of the community and offering more people access to life-changing services.

"Education, skills and employment are important priorities for Bradford Council and we are completely committed to doing everything we can to ensure all our residents are given the best possible opportunities."

Councillor Hopkins, chair of the Open Madrasah Network, joined Lord Kamlesh Patel OBE and representatives from Yorkshire Forward, Asian Trade Link (Yorkshire) Ltd and Education Bradford in London yesterday.

The key figures from Yorkshire spoke to a select group of MPs, peers and education and business representatives at the launch.

Arshad Javed, of ATL, said "We believe this is an exciting initiative that can bring about real transformational change in raising standards and bring about a more inclusive society."

The programme will offer children and adults a comprehensive package of support designed to boost educational grades, employment rates and improve life chances for some of Bradford district's most disadvantaged residents.

The project will work with children as young as primary school age all the way through to older students who are sitting GCSEs as well as adults.

Regional development agency Yorkshire Forward is funding the programme with £550,000 over three years.

The director of economic inclusion for Yorkshire Forward, Thea Stein, said: "Yorkshire Forward has developed this project because of our recognition of the importance of the Muslim faith sector in Bradford as holding critical keys in improving the economic outcomes for Bradford's communities.

"We are confident that the approach we have used to building this partnership will be instrumental in shaping better outcomes for attainment, jobs and skills. "

The Open Madrasah Network is being delivered by ATL with Education Bradford, Bradford Council, Yorkshire Forward, Jamiyat Tabligh Ul Islam, Madania Tahfeezul Quran, Abu Zahra Foundation, Islamic Cultural and Educational Association.

The head of cohesion and diversity for Education Bradford, Jani Rashed, said: "The relationship between madrasahs and mainstream schools is a very important factor when looking to raise levels of educational attainment.

"The Open Madrasah Network makes for a very good vehicle in developing that relationship.

"Education Bradford is very pleased to be working in partnership with Yorkshire Forward and ATL as a major stakeholder in piloting this project."

The second article reveals that £1 million is spent every year on one group of 120 asylum seekers who have been refused permission to stay in Britain but are still living in Croydon:

Some have not been deported years after applications to remain in Britain were rejected, and until they are the council is continuing to support them.

Because they have been refused asylum they cannot work, so the council gives them benefits and somewhere to live.

The asylum seekers have all come to Croydon, unaccompanied by an adult, when under the age of 18.

The council is reimbursed for looking after them until they are 18 but after that it gets no money at all, forcing taxpayers to foot the bill.

The number of people in this situation has tripled in just two years, with the cost of looking after them quadrupling from £250,000 in 2007 to an estimated £1 million for 2009.

The council argues it has a statutory obligation to make sure this group of vulnerable people do not end up on the street, and says the Home Office is not doing enough to deport them.

However, the UK Border Agency says the council is not legally obliged to do so, and that efforts are being made to ensure some are sent home, while others are appealing or cheating the system.

More cases are likely in the future as a result of the Government's controversial decision to make Croydon the only place in the UK people can claim asylum.

Richard Ottaway, MP for Croydon South, believe the latest revelation makes a mockery of the Government's claim the change in policy will have a minimal impact on Croydon.

"I am both surprised and concerned by these figures," he said.

"They illustrate the problem Croydon is facing by becoming the country's only walk-in asylum centre.

"It is inevitable the numbers of asylum seekers will increase, and it is equally likely the number of rejections will rise, meaning more people will fall into this category.

"The Government needs to explain why they have failed to deport these people, and why the taxpayer is counting the cost."

A spokesman for the council revealed the expense is likely to increase as other young asylum seekers are awaiting a decision.

The head of the UK Border Agency's local immigration team in Croydon, Frances Beasley, says that people with no right to remain in Britain are "expected to return voluntarily" but will be removed if they don't.

She added: "Of the cases that the council is assisting, each one is different.

"Each case can take a different amount of time to finalise, depending on whether there are outstanding appeals or travel documents to be processed for removal."

The third article reveals that a charity, the Football Foundation, has donated £235,000 to the "Muslim Women's Sport Foundation":

THE Muslim Women's Sports Foundation (MWSF) is celebrating following a £235k grant awarded by the Football Foundation, the UK's largest sports charity.

The grant will allow the the group to embark on the the Born to Succeed project - a three year plan aiming to increase the number of black, minority ethnic women in sport.

The MWSF hopes to provide facilities and support that take into consideration religious and cultural sensitivities of black, minority ethnic women - by developing a number of futsal and basketball clubs, introducing summer and year-round leagues, engaging in school outreach programmes, conducting research projects and in recruiting and training volunteers, coaches and referees.

It will also allow increasing access to player pathways, promoting healthy living in the community, providing alternative social activities in mainstream society, promoting cohesion and understanding between Muslim and non-Muslim communities, and developing role models for future generations of women.

Chairperson of the MWSF, Rimla Akhtar said: "The fact is that there are many Muslim women in this country who love to play sport and compete - this enthusiasm has been made clear in the work we have carried out so far.

"However, there has been a definite lack of funding and resources such as facilities - that cater for the needs of groups like MWSF.

"This grant, we believe, is the first of its kind and will enable the MWSF to build a foundation on which future generations of minority ethnic women can grow and succeed when it comes to sport. It is only the beginning of a much larger effort to develop healthy and confident women and girls in the UK.

"We thank the Football Foundation for leading the way in supporting the sporting development of this unique group of women and girls."

The launch of the Born to Succeed project will take place on tomorrow (31 October 2009) at the Ellen Wilkinson School for Girls, Queen's Drive, Acton , between 10 to 11.15 am.

Finally, The Somerset County Gazette reveals that the government will spend £314,000 of a levy collected on non-EU students and migrants on "helping Polish and Portuguese migrants have access to public services":

A POT of £314,094 will help Polish and Portuguese people living in Somerset get better access to key services.

The cash, passed on by the Government from a levy on non-European Union migrants and students, will help non-English speakers with services such as the police, education and mental health.

The scheme includes hiring Polish-speaking Police Community Support Officers; signposting basic services such as health, housing and social care; free interpreting services for schools; ensuring migrants know how to access mental health services.

Chief Superintendent Nikki Watson, of Avon and Somerset Police, said: “In Somerset we have some diverse communities and together with our partners we share a desire to serve all aspects of our society.

“This money will help us to make sure that as many people as possible are aware of the services available to them and that they feel confident using them."

Projects to be implemented by the partnership agencies over the coming months include: *Polish liaison PCSOs working with Polish communities to build trust and confidence in the police, reduce fear of crime and improve dialogue.

*Community Link Workers for Polish and Portuguese-speaking communities to introduce and signpost migrant workers to basic services such as health, housing and social care, establish a migrant workers’ forum and appoint a part-time English teacher.

*support workers for 14 to 19-year-old migrant backgrounds to meet together, ensure greater participation in mainstream activities and help them apply for school and college places.

*mental health qualified support workers to support migrant worker communities.

Britain's Priorities (II)

The BBC reported yesterday that five men were arrested in anti-terror raids across Greater Manchester.

Initial reports were far from candid about the nature and purpose of the raids, but The South Manchester Reporter provided further details:

A RELIGIOUS leader is among five men arrested on suspicion of terrorism.

The Muslim preacher and three others were arrested in raids across Greater Manchester this morning.

The man, who has not been named, teaches the Koran at a number of mosques across the region.

The 62-year-old was arrested at his home on Willows Lane, Deane, Bolton.

"I'm surprised. He carries out spiritual sessions twice-a-week. He is very spiritual," said one source within the Muslim community.

Investigation

It is understood this morning's raids were part of an investigation into terror training camps in Afghanistan which may have led to a terror plot overseas.

Police sources have stressed the threat was not 'imminent' nor aimed at the UK.

The raids were culmination of a year-long investigation into the recruitment here of would-be terrorists for training in Afghanistan.

The five men have been arrested on suspicion of terrorism and also inciting an act of terrorism overseas.

First, police swooped on three addresses in Manchester and one in Bolton at around 4am.

Another man, 27, was arrested in a later raid in Rydal Walk, Stalybridge.

Police have said more arrests could follow.

Around 40 unarmed officers were involved in the raids and they are now searching the properties.

The raids took place at a mobile phone shop and the flat above on Stockport Road, Levenshulme. No-one was arrested at these properties.

Police arrested a 52-year-old man at a house on Victoria Terrace, Longsight, and a 21-year-old man at a property on Bowdon Avenue, Fallowfield.

Later police arrested a 26-year-old man at a hotel near Heathrow Airport.

Solicitor Shabnam Yunis, 26, from Mustafa Solicitors, works a few doors away from Efones, on Stockport Road, Longsight, which was raided along with the flat above, said: "The two lads who own the shop are really decent friendly lads. I am really shocked. You just don't expect anything like this going on. It is normally a quiet and respectable area."

Assistant Chief Constable Dave Thompson said: "Protecting people both at home and abroad is our primary concern which is why we take such steps.

"This is a complex and ongoing investigation, which has now reached the point where it was necessary to make arrests and speak to a number of people.

"There was no direct threat against Greater Manchester and the arrests are the latest stage of a thorough investigation. We have been liaising with local people to provide reassurance about what has happened and will continue to keep a high profile presence in affected areas.

"Officers will also be distributing letters around the areas concerned and speaking to residents to let people know what has happened and to ask them to continue to work with us in the coming days.

"The community will be concerned that these arrests caused disruption and distress to people living there. There is no suggestion that those other people were involved in any offences and our priority is to look after these people."

No, the "community" should be bloody grateful that the British authorities see it as their role to prevent their wayward offspring getting blown up or shot by our soldiers in Afghanistan or Pakistan - but let's not let a little thing like common sense intrude here.

Best to just waste countless hours of police time and public money on "reassurance" exercises. Police activity, caried out fairly and within the boundaries of the law, should reassure the law-abiding in itself.

It's not our fault that large numbers of people living in Britain identify with a death cult or a "community" above the country that has taken them in and raised them up.

Might I respectfully suggest that the Greater Manchester Police officers used to hand out those leaflets (no doubt produced in a plethora of languages native to the sub-continent, all on us) might be better placed taking part in beat-sweeps for illegal immigrants and others who have no right to actually be here?

But anyway, I digress.

What will happen to these men if the evidence against them is deemed overwhelming?

Well, some will be charged. Some may even be convicted. It is not beyond the realms of possibility that one or two of them may actually be deported, after serving any prison sentence and fighting exhaustive appeals on the taxpayer's pound.

Some might be luckier than that, however; today The Telegraph draws our attention to dangerous Muslim terrorists placed on "control orders".

Control orders are a form of house arrest used for those deemed dangerous but whom cannot be tried for fear of releasing sensitive intelligence information into the public domain. Judges have ruled that imprisoning them would be a breach of their human rights, and I suppose it goes without saying that deportation is out of the question.

Twenty four suspects placed on control orders since April 2007 have cost the British taxpayer over £600,000; the government has paid them an average of £25,000 each to take care of their living costs.

This figure does not include any social security benefits they receive. Of the 13 currently subject to control orders, 9 receive additional welfare payments:

There are currently 13 suspected terrorists under control orders. Their movements and actions are restricted because the security services believe that they pose a threat to public safety.

They cannot be kept in prison because judges have ruled it would breach their human rights. However, they cannot be put on trial because the security services believe the information that would be used to prosecute them is too sensitive to disclose in court. Instead they are ordered to stay at home, under regular supervision.

Because it is impractical for them to find work, the taxpayer has to pick up the bill for some living costs.

One suspect received more than £9,000 in a single year, consisting of £7,744 towards his accommodation, £891 for utilities, £429 for council tax and £88 towards phone line rental.

Separate figures released under the Freedom of Information Act showed that the total cost to the Home Office of the control orders regime since April 2006 is £9.4 million. Since 2007, £180,000 has been paid to private security companies contracted to carry out “electronic monitoring” of the suspects. The Home Office figures do not include welfare payments. The Department for Work and Pensions said earlier this year that nine suspects were receiving some sort of welfare payments. Seven were receiving job seeker’s allowance.

As well as criticism about the civil liberties implications of control orders, the government has faced charges of being ineffective at controlling suspects. Despite being under regular surveillance by the security forces, at least seven suspects have absconded. Some are thought to have fled the country. Some people who have been subject to orders are said to be extremist preachers who do not directly participate in terrorism but encourage others to do so.

The incompetence and contempt for the public continues to be revealed.

What really confuses me, however, is the 7 who receive job seeker's allowance; the terms of the payments state that one must prove they are actively looking for work in order to receive them. As The Telegraph notes, none of these men can practically work or look for work.

If only that were the worst of it, we would by comparison live in a sane and healthy country.

A Warning for America

Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the alleged mastermind of the 9/11 attacks, will stand trial before a federal court in New York.

This will occur basically so that Barack Obama can tell the U.S. and international Left that he has fulfilled one of his major campaign promises - shutting down Guantanamo Bay military prison in Cuba.

He is unable to palm all of the suspected terrorists off on smaller nations, however, so his efforts have been harried. Add to that the fact that some of the relatives of victims and survivors of 9/11 would actually like to see some form of justice served, and it's all been a little bit of a headache for him, really.

The dangers of having hardened al-Qaeda members in civilian prisons, no matter how secure, is a problem which deserves much more attention than it is being paid currently.

Here is the story of Louis Pepe (pictured above), a prison guard left with serious brain injuries after a brutal attack by two founding members of al-Qaeda - in a federal supermax - 10 months before 9/11:

The high-security prison in New York City where 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed is expected to be sent to await his trial has a supermax wing to keep even the most notorious criminals quiet — but it isn't perfect. Just ask Louis Pepe.

Ten months before Al Qaeda in 2001 struck a deathblow in the heart lower Manhattan, one of the terrorist group's founding members plunged a sharpened comb through Pepe's left eye and into his brain, blinding the 42-year-old prison guard and causing severe brain injuries that plague him to this day.

Pepe told FoxNews.com he worries that sending Mohammed and four of his alleged fellow 9/11 conspirators to New York could compromise the safety of the guards at the MCC prison. Keeping the prisoners in one location, he said, was especially dangerous.

"Could you imagine over there what they're gonna do, God forbid?" asked Pepe, now 52, who lost feeling in the right side of his body and most of his ability to speak. "After all these years, you'd think they should know."

On Nov. 1, 2000, Pepe was ambushed in the cell of Mamdouh Mahmud Salim — an alleged top aide to Usama bin Laden. Salim's cellmate, another Al Qaeda suspect, joined in the attack, which prosecutors say was an attempt to steal Pepe's keys to the cell block to free other prisoners and take hostages.

The two had been granted permission by a federal judge to purchase hot sauce, says Pepe's sister, which they then stored in a honey jar and used to create a blinding mace. Teaming up against Pepe, they beat and blinded him, covering the floor in his spattered blood. They then tried to rape him as he waited an entire hour for fellow guards to come to his aid, his sister said.

"They wanted to discredit the badge and what he stood for," Eileen Trotta told FoxNews.com. "After they plunged him in the eye with that makeshift knife, they did the sign of the cross on his chest."

Trotta said it would be like "deja vu" to see more Al Qaeda detainees shipped into New York for trial, where their court hearings will be just blocks from Ground Zero

"There's no reason why everything has to be in New York, especially after 9/11 and what happened to Louis," she said. "It doesn't make sense — why bring them into the hotbed of the city?"

The Obama administration announced Friday morning it was ending the military commissions that were trying Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and his four co-defendants at Guantanamo Bay, and would transfer them into civilian courts — and out of the military prison complex that has kept them confined for the better part of a decade.

The federal Bureau of Prisons, which administers the MCC complex in New York, said the jail has long housed "some of the most dangerous offenders" in the nation — and housed them safely. Accused terrorists linked to Al Qaeda plots are currently being held in cells on "10 South," the prison's notorious 10th floor, where the convicted leaders of the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center were held during their trial.

New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg said he supported the Obama administration's decision to bring the suspects to New York to face justice near the World Trade Center site where so many New Yorkers were murdered.

"I have great confidence that the NYPD, with federal authorities, will handle security expertly," Bloomberg said. "The NYPD is the best police department in the world and it has experience dealing with high-profile terrorism suspects and any logistical issues that may come up during the trials."

The Bureau of Prisons said the attack on Pepe was nearly unique and that the prison's highly trained staff are prepared for any class of criminal.

"That was an extraordinarily brutal attack and I don't believe they've experienced anything like that since then," said Traci Billingsley, a spokeswoman for the bureau.

Billingsley said she could not discuss whether security measures have changed since Pepe was nearly killed in 2000, nor could she discuss whether any new steps would be taken if more Al Qaeda suspects are sent to the MCC.

But those reassurances were little consolation for Pepe and his sister, who said the government was quick to forget the terrible lesson of his attack.

"We're such a lax country — we don't learn from our mistakes," Trotta told FoxNews.com. "We have to protect our own, and at this point we're not doing it.

"After almost 10 years I'm still seeing my brother struggling very hard to have some kind of semblance of life."

These men are not ordinary criminals - and Obama treats them as such at his peril, or more importantly that of the prison staff and the American people.

But then, questions can legitimately be asked as to whether or not Obama genuinely sees America and her people as "his own".

Gaddafi Tries to Convert 200 Italian "Party Girls" to Islam

From the BBC:

A group of party girls got more than they bargained for when they were recruited to attend a posh do in Rome on Sunday night.

Instead of canapés and cocktails, the 200 young women found themselves being encouraged to become Muslims.

It turned out the host was Libya's leader, Col Muammar Gaddafi, in town for the UN food summit.

He spoke of the wonders of Islam and assured his guests it was not anti-women, as some critics argue.

The selection process had been rigorous; the identity of the host, a mystery.

The girls had to be beautiful, between 18 and 35 - and at least 1.70m tall.

The dress code was strict: plunging necklines and short miniskirts were most definitely out.

Two-hundred women passed muster and were bussed to a plush residential corner of the Italian capital.

Security scanned and shown into an imposing reception room, they were then left waiting, as several complained, without so much as a glass of water.

An hour later, their host's identity was finally revealed.

Col Gaddafi proceeded to preach the benefits of Islam, taking particular pains to assure his guests that it was not misogynistic, and encouraging them to convert.

Two hours later, the women left, looking a touch bemused, 50 euros ($75; £45) better off and clutching a copy of the Koran.

Notice the lighthearted way that this is treated.

The man is a crank, and it might seem funny upon first glance, but is it?

He is trying to convert a group of Italian women, who he specified must be of child-bearing age, to Islam en masse on Italian soil.

This is a man who knows that mass immigration is a dagger in the heart of Europe and the West; so he must be aware that after colonisation, subduing, absorbing and "integrating" the inhabitants (us) is the next step. Converting women to Islam, thus ensuring they will raise Muslim children, is the easiest way.

I wonder if the BBC would find all of this so amusing if a far-Right party tried the same trick?

But of course, a tyrannical Muslim despot can do no wrong.

***Update 18:21***

The Daily Mail has slightly more information - apparently the women were hired from one of Italy's largest escort agencies. The article claims 500 attended, but most other sources agree on 200 - although more such lectures will appsrently be held before he leaves Rome, one tonight and one tomorrow.

Whilst many of the women were said to have felt offended, some actually seem to have swallowed his drivel:

One blonde woman who did not give her name said: ‘I was particularly offended when he said we believed that Christ had been crucified but he hadn’t, instead it was someone who looked like him and that God had saved Christ.’

But Alessandro Londero, of Rome-based Hostessweb, who claims his agency is ‘one of the biggest in Europe with more than 65,000 girls’ on its books, insisted: ‘It was a very enjoyable experience and the girls were captivated by the evening.

‘Some of them have already been in touch with me to express an interest in going to Libya and seeing the place for themselves and speaking further with Gaddafi about converting to Islam.

‘He gave the girls Italian translations of the Koran and of his Green Book and he said he would be in touch with them to test them and make sure they had read them.

Britain's Priorities

Yesterday The Times reported that some of Britain's most dangerous Muslim preachers and terrorists were smuggling out fatwas and propaganda from Britain's most secure prisons, as well as leading recruitment drives among petty and violent criminals:

Abu Qatada, described by MI5 as “Osama Bin Laden’s right-hand man in Europe”, has published fatwas — religious rulings — on the internet from Long Lartin prison, in Worcestershire, calling for holy war and the murder of moderate Muslims, it reveals.

Abu Doha — said to be Al-Qaeda’s main recruiter in Europe — has taken courses in Belmarsh prison, south London, enabling him to mentor other inmates.

Abu Hamza, jailed in 2006 for inciting murder, has preached radical sermons to followers using water pipes in his Belmarsh cell, and Rachid Ramda, the Algerian leader of the Paris Métro bomb plot, led Friday prayers in the same jail.

The path from prison radicalisation to full-scale terror plotting is well trodden. One petty criminal who turned to Islam while a teenage inmate was Muktar Said Ibrahim. He served time for indecent assault on a 15-year-old girl and mugging a 77-year-old woman at a Tube station. He graduated to terrorism via various radical London mosques and camps in Afghanistan and went on to lead the failed London bombings of July 21, 2005.

In October 2006, a Libyan detainee wanted in Italy on terrorism charges used telephone boxes in Long Lartin to speak live on an Islamic television channel. He compared British prisons with Guantanamo Bay and Abu Ghraib, where the American military abused Iraqi inmates.

In a rant designed to inflame followers into a hatred of Britain, he described the special immigration court that in effect sent him to jail without a jury trial as a “fascist court martial”. Qatada, a fellow inmate, went further. In a series of fatwas released in June 2008, he reflected on theological arguments legitimising the murder of Muslims who were opposed to Al-Qaeda.

The Quilliam report states: “He additionally described the police and army of Muslim majority countries opposed to Al-Qaeda as ‘kafirs and apostates’ — thereby also justifying jihadist attacks against them.”

Last March, in An Address to the Muslims, apparently smuggled out of his cell, Qatada equated the British government to pagans whom the prophet Muhammad fought and defeated.

Inspectors have separately warned of the rise of Muslim gangs whose leaders engage in violence and intimidation, sometimes forcing others to convert.

In Frankland prison in 2007 and 2008, Dhiren Barot, leader of the so-called “dirty bomb” plot against London, and Omar Khyam, who planned to attack London nightclubs and shopping centres with a fertiliser bomb, have been involved in a series of tit-for-tat attacks on other prisoners.

Violence partly fomented by the two extremists led to boiling water being thrown over prisoners, stabbings, arson attacks and attempts to wreck prison facilities.

The fact that the British authorities do not have a clue what they are doing is hardly news; however, I might be able to shed some light on how these fatwas are "smuggled out" - yesterday I pointed out that radical cleric Abu Hamza, currently detained in the most secure area of HMP Belmarsh, was given a £1,000 laptop by the prison service.

Paid for by the taxpayer, it was meant "to help him with appeals and legal research."

I wonder if they'll be taking that back now this has come to light?

Whatever happens, they are still running rings around themselves to make sure his stay at Her Majesty's pleasure is comfortable - today it was revealed that £650 has just been spent installing special taps in Hamza's cell, so he can operate them with his hook.

If all of the most dangerous Muslims in British prisons get treated like this, no wonder they have utter contempt for us and feel the need to brag about it far and wide.

Nice to see that, as always, Her Majesty's Government have their priorities right - and the British people and their safety are at the bottom of the list.

"The Muslim Boys" Attack Prisoner over Remembrance Day

The Daily Mirror reports that a white inmate at HMP Belmarsh was attacked and seriously injured by "The Muslim Boys" gang last week.

A different white inmate had chastised two members of the gang for failing to show any respect on Remembrance Sunday, when they continued a game of table tennis during the two minutes' silence. This prompted him to grab the ball to prevent the game.

In response, five members of the gang went looking for any white inmate they could find to exact revenge, and ended up attacking a man with boiling water and a glass jar in a sock, which left him needing emergency surgery.

Three of the attackers were sent to solitary confinement, whilst the other two gathered yet more members of the gang and attempted to ambush another white inmate, but he bested them.
Of course, The Mirror has nothing to say about the evils of racism and discrimination in this instance, simply quoting a prison insider:

Two white cons have been moved away, while the Muslim Boys will be dealt with at the prison. A Belmarsh source said: "Tensions are simmering. It's very worrying."

The article claims that "The Muslim Boys" are an al-Qaeda splinter group, but I'm not sure this is true - they are simply a glaring example of the remarkable hole this country has dug for itself through its immigration policies.

"The Muslim Boys" began as a group of mainly black criminals from south London who converted to Islam in prison. They regarded the name as something outsiders called them, referring to themselves as the "Poverty Driven Children" (good to see they at least learned one thing at school, then - it's all whitey's fault).

They acquired a fearsome reputation on the streets of Lambeth and Southwark, where their specialty was robbing drug dealers and demanding protection money from other criminals - all whilst wearing long leather coats and waving Mac-10 submachine guns.

As their power grew, they began intimidating local imams to open mosques in the early hours so they could pray after stealing, as well as forcing other young black men to convert to Islam at gunpoint.

At least one, Anthony Marriott, was shot in the head and killed for refusing them.

By 2004, pretty much all London's other black criminal gangs were united against them - but that only drove them to more violence.

In December 2004, PC Liam Morrow was shot in the legs after being alerted to suspicious activity:

PC Morrow, 23, was shot three times in his legs, in Madeira Avenue, Bromley, on December 20, last year.

Five officers went to the street just after midnight following reports four men in a car were acting suspiciously.

Khan and his three accomplices fled in the direction of Highland Road when officers approached them and PC Morrow was shot as they fled.

He returned to work in May and has vowed the incident will not affect his work.

He said: "I'm not scared. I have wanted to be a policeman all my life and nothing will stop me from doing my job."

Some linked the man convicted, Zartash Khan, to the Muslim Boys.

However, as the authorities crowed that many of the gang's leading figures were being jailed, its effectiveness was being reduced and it didn't have any "genuine Islamic links" anyway, it was well known by 2005 that the Muslim Boys were making a hell of a reputation for themselves in HMP Belmarsh:

Inside Belmarsh jail, the Muslim Boys have imported their savage and ferocious behavior. They have carved for themselves a unique position within the prison hierarchy, feared by inmates and treated with caution by prison officers. To achieve this, they have violently attacked inmates and staff alike.

In December 2005, a leaked internal security report from the jail stated: “Prisoners reported abuse, assaults, intimidation and threats. Some of the atrocities were carried out with impunity during associations causing victims to fear for their lives. Most of the perpetrators are believed to be members of the Muslim Boys gang who intensified their drive to recruit other prisoners to the fold. They force prisoners to accept the Muslim faith - those who refuse suffer assaults. They promise potential converts protection from other prisoners and staff who they challenge at every opportunity.”

A month later, a source inside the prison stated: “The Muslim Boys’ gang master orders most of the assaults on fellow prisoners. They rule through fear and are very hard to infiltrate.”

In February 2006, a prominent member of the Muslim Boys gang led an attack upon prison staff that led to a riot in the prison’s high security unit. A prison guard was set upon by two inmates. Two of these were Muslim Boys gang members. Another prisoner then joined in. The officer was hit around his head and upper body with a pool cue and also a sock that had been filled with cans of tuna. He received cuts and needed hospital treatment. The incident led to further violence in which two other prison guards were also attacked. One of these was punched and kicked in the shower block of the unit, and the other was assaulted in the medical treatment room. About ten prisoners and ten staff fought with each other, and five prisoners were given disciplinary action.

On Good Friday, April 14 2006, one member of the Muslim Boys was “punished” for trying to convert out of Islam. When the Belmarsh prisoner was in the toilet, eight Muslim Boys gang members attacked him. The victim received head injuries. When prison officers tried to intervene, they too were attacked. The Home Office denied that the attack had been a serious incident, but a spokesperson said that four men were being subjected to “administrative action.”

In May 2007, a leading member of the Muslim Boys gang again led an attack upon Belmarsh prison staff. On the morning of May 4, this individual was asked to hand over his laptop computer to a prison officer. In March 2006 the prison had controversially authorized the issue of laptop computers costing £1,000 apiece ($1,958) to 28 of the prisoners in the jail, including terror suspects and Abu Hamza. The prison authorities argued that these computers were to be used for prisoners to prepare their legal defenses.

The Muslim Boys gang member had been suspected of using a smuggled card to enable his laptop computer to be connected to the internet. He refused to give the computer to the officer and then punched and kicked him. Other prisoners then joined in, brandishing pool cues. When the security alarm was sounded, three more prison officers were attacked, in what was regarded by staff as a pre-planned assault. One of the prison officers received a broken chin and another underwent shoulder injuries.

And the prison authorities are only just concerned about "tensions simmering over"?

No - they are concerned that the public will find out just who runs parts of HMP Belmarsh, and their masters at the Home Office (or the "Justice Ministry" are whatever it's called this week) will be held to account at the ballot box, as they deserve to be.
