Ottomans in Crimea

I have details about this in my new book The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS. It was settled by Russians, not Ukrainians, and Putin’s annexation was in accord with the reality that most of the people there are Russians and have been Russians for many centuries. “Coming to Some Reality on Crimea,” by Michael Finch, American Greatness, July 16, 2018: That is the status of Crimea. It’s non negotiable for Russia. Going into this summit, it behooves everyone to understand what is at stake in terms of Crimea. First some history.

The Crimean Peninsula juts out from the bottom of Ukraine into the north shore of the Black Sea. Its critical position in the Black Sea has made it a battle ground and prized possession for Empires over three millennium. It has been colonized by Greeks, Persians, Romans, Goths, Slavs, and Steppe nomads from the Mongols and Tartars. In the mid 15th Century, Crimea became a northern outpost of the Muslim Ottoman Empire and would remain in Ottoman control for over 400 years.

The Ottomans used the Crimean Peninsula as a launch pad for raids far into Ukraine and Russia. It is estimated that well over 2 million Slavs (Ukrainians and Russians) were taken as slaves between 1500 and 1700 and sent to modern day Turkey. In fact the word “slave” traces back to the Greek word for Slav. To put some perspective on this, it is estimated that just under 400,000 black slaves were shipped from Africa to the Colonies in North America and later the independent United States. The Islamic Caliphate’s hold at the southern reaches of the Russian Empire was an existential threat, literally so for millions of Slavs.

By 1700 however, the Ottoman Empire was starting a long period of decline, while the Russian Empire, first under the reign of Peter the Great, and then under Catherine the Great, were in the ascendancy. Peter the Great in the early 18th Century had secured, through a war with Sweden, a port on the Baltic Sea, what was to become St. Petersburg. Russia however, desperately desired a warm water port. They looked South, where they had been war, on and off for centuries, against the raiding Mongol and Tartar hordes as well as the Ottoman Sultanate.

Constantinople, the great seat of the Eastern Orthodox Church, from which Russian Orthodoxy had sprung, fell in 1453 to the Ottomans. It had been a dream of Christians everywhere to return Constantinople to the Christian fold and  that feeling was no more passionately held than in Russia. Moscow became the “Third Rome.” :

No wonder Obama sounded so confident when he said Trump would never be president. My-my!Give her whatever she wants! As she feels she was thrown under the bus by BF & boys club! You go girl! Bring down those that had planned on using you as their Patsy! For 7 months the DOJ/FBI refused to give you the letter requesting to meet with you putting you in a weak position of contempt of court & being part of the swamp.

Anwar al-Awlaki

“Terrorists don’t kill for their religion,” asserted an article published in the World Economic Forum last year, just one of many that claim the same thing. Yet again and again we see just the opposite: jihadis are devout, informed Muslims.

Here is yet another example: According to the Times Ledger, a Muslim named Ahmed Parveg “pleaded guilty in a Brooklyn federal court last month to helping the overseas terrorist organization ISIS.” Parveg “traveled to Saudi Arabia [in] June 2017 to celebrate the Islamic religious holiday Ramadan, then attempted to travel to Syria to join ISIS.” Parveg was a fan of the now-dead jihad mastermind Anwar al-Awlaki, and had bookmarked on his computer a recording of a sermon in which al-Awlaki preached:

“Jihad must continue and fighting must go on until the Final Hour comes. Fighting is only increasing as prescribed by Allah -- now it is time to carry the battle to further lands outside of Arab countries.” Was Parveg intending to kill for his religion? “He got religious in the last year. Not radical, just religious,” his brother said after Parveg was arrested. Not only was Parveg religious, the group he wanted to join was -- and is -- as well.

The Islamic State (ISIS), in its heyday, quoted the Qur’an frequently -- odd behavior if the group was actually ignorant of, indifferent to, or in violation of the book’s core tenets. ISIS quoted the Qur’an extensively in threats to blow up the White House and conquer Rome and Spain; in explaining its priorities in the nations it is targeting in jihad; in preaching to Christians after collecting the jizya (a Qur’an-based tax, cf. Qur’an 9:29); in justifying the execution of accused spies; and in its various videos.

Zakar Naik supports corruption because a corrupt Muslim is better than a Kaffir from dswami on Vimeo.

Please share this video until it reaches Mahathir. Zakir Naik preaches that Muslims must vote for a corrupt leader according to Islam, he quotes Quran 3:28  He condemns Mahathir for sharing power with the Kafirs or infidels. Why do we need this arsehole in our country. He doesn't believe in applying intellect to solve socio-economic issues rationally. He wants Muslims in Malaysia to kowtow and remain poor and subservient to Corrupt Leaders. We need to kick him out as soon as possible.

Muslim Rape Gang Survivor

Ukip’s leader insults  the founder of Islam for mentioning Bukhari 7.62.88, at a rally for jailed far-right leader Tommy Robinson.

Gerard Batten, an MEP for London, told protesters campaigning for the release of Robinson in London that “rape gang members are predominately followers of Islam”.
His comments were called “deeply disturbing” and “worrying” by an anti-Islamophobia group.

In a speech provided to The Independent by Ukip, Mr Batten said: “The great British media do not want to talk about the group identity of the rapists, or the ideology that inspires them.

Sky hosts were off the mark here. @Lauren_Southern is spot on. Multiculturalism doesn't work. What has worked is multi-ethnic integration under ONE culture - Western Culture.https://t.co/qodbNBMZwA

The Blown Up Bamiyan Statues

What happened to the people who carved this statue? Why doesn’t Pakistan have a large Buddhist community, and why is its Hindu community rapidly diminishing in size? Find out in my new book The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS, the first history of jihad published in the Western world to include the bloody jihad against India. Click here to preorder The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS now.

“Taliban defeated by the quiet strength of Pakistan’s Buddha,” AFP, July 12, 2018:
MINGORA, Pakistan: The Buddha of Swat, carved on a cliff in the seventh century, was dynamited by the Pakistani Taliban in 2007. Now it has been restored, a powerful symbol of tolerance in the traumatised Pakistani valley.

The holy figure, depicted in a lotus position at the base of a granite cliff in northern Pakistan, was severely damaged by Islamist insurgents in an echo of the Afghan Taliban’s complete destruction of its more imposing counterparts at Bamiyan in 2001.
For some, it was a wanton act of vandalism that struck at the heart of the area’s unique history and identity.

The last time this happened, the driver was a middle-aged white man. On both occasions, it was the bus that was targeted and not the driver. The focus was on blocking the road and bringing the traffic to a halt. Anti-Trump supporters had shut down central London the day before, and earlier on Saturday afternoon the police refused to allow pro-Trump supporters to gather outside of the US Embassy to show their support for the President.

Also, it should be noted that on both occasions, both bus drivers could do nothing more than stay in their seats and wait for the police to disperse the crowd in order that their buses could continue on their way.

The last time this happened, when the white middle-aged bus driver was at the wheel, the newspapers focused on the disruption by the “far-right” drunken mob. This time, the reporters ran with the headline that a Muslima in a headscarf demonstrated to the world everything that is great about Britain. She, like the other white bus driver, sat calmly, sometimes smiling, and always waiting for police direction.

She, unlike the white bus driver, is now being touted as the face of everything that makes Britain great – tolerance, patience, a sense of humour, the ability to laugh in the face of a perceived threat by “nazis,” courage and the refusal to leave her station (even although she and her passengers were never in any danger, and there was never any reason as to why she or the other bus driver should have abandoned their vehicles).

This may not have been a jihad attack. Although the Islamic State and other jihad groups have called on Muslims in the West to murder random civilians, this particular killing could have been over some personal dispute between the killer and the victim. In any case, it is an indication of how marvelously diverse Norway, and much of Europe, has become. “Unaccompanied child refugee murdered Coop employee with knife,” translated from “Ensamkommande knivmördade Coop-anställd,” Fria Tider, July 16, 2018 :

A so-called unaccompanied child refugee from Afghanistan has been arrested for a brutal assassination in Vadsø in Norway last Saturday, reports Norwegian TV2. The detainee has a temporary residence permit and came to Norway in 2015. It was just after 10PM on Saturday night that the Finnmark police were alerted to a stabbing at the Coop Extra store in Vadsø in northeastern Norway. At the site, 18-year-old Håvard Pedersen was found stabbed to death.

The Genocide of Christians in the Middle East since the 7th Century , when Islam arrived

Al-Mahdi, however, was not disposed to respond in kind, and told them: “You have two options. Either die or convert to our religion.” Most of the Christians chose to die rather than embrace Islam.

In and around Baghdad, he noticed that the Assyrian Christians had built new churches since the Muslim conquest, in violation of dhimmi laws; he ordered them destroyed; five thousand Christians in Syria were given the choice of conversion to Islam or death. Many stayed true to their ancestral faith and chose death.

In reality, they have been oppressed for centuries, and when that oppression was relaxed, Islamic hardliners made sure that the relaxation was temporary. Just one example from my new book The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS: in 1301, according to the fourteenth-century Muslim historian Ibn Naqqash, the vizier of Gharb in North Africa visited the Mamluk sultan al-Malik an-Nasir and several other high dignitaries in Cairo, including the emir Rukn ad-Din Baybar al-Jashangir, “who offered him magnificent presents and received him with the greatest distinction.”

But the vizier was not happy with what he had seen in Egypt: the dhimmi Jews and Christians were “attired in the most elegant clothes” and “rode on mules, mares, and expensive horses.” Even worse, they were “considered worthy of being employed in the most important offices, thus gaining authority over the Muslims.”

Back home in Gharb, by contrast, the Jews and Christians were “maintained with constraints of humiliation and degradation. Thus they were not permitted to ride on horseback, nor to be employed in the public administration.” The emir Rukn and several others were impressed, and “unanimously declared,” according to Ibn Naqqash, “that if similar conditions were to prevail in Egypt this would greatly enhance the [Muslim] religion.”

New rules were implemented swiftly. Ibn Naqqash continued: “The churches of Misr [old Cairo] and Cairo were closed and their portals were sealed after having been nailed up….Next, the dhimmis were dismissed from the public administration and the functions that they occupied in the service of the emirs. They were then prohibited to ride horses or mules. Consequently, many of them were converted to Islam.”

Of course: the light of its truth was shining brightly.

Genocide Against the Christians

Even a century ago, more than 20% of the region’s population was Christian, and Jews still adorned Arab cities with their talents. But all they possess does not suffice for Islamist fanatics. Israel must be blotted from the earth, and the last Christians must be driven out.

This is an old, old story, nearing its end. We shroud it in lies to excuse ourselves from taking a stand, even accepting the preposterous Arab claim that Muslim failures today are the fault of the Crusades, a brief interlude when Christians occupied a coastal strip hardly larger than Israel. In fact, it was the Mongols, then the Muslim Turks, who shattered Arab civilization. And as for conquests, Muslims occupied Spain in all or part for 800 years — and brutalized the Balkans for half a millennium. The Crusades were hardly a burp.

We also accept extravagant claims that “civilized” Arabs rescued the classical texts that formed our civilization. That’s utter nonsense. The Arab hordes that burst out of barren Arabia in the 7th century were composed of illiterates. Conquering at a time when the warring Byzantine and Persian empires had exhausted themselves, the new rulers found that tribal practices didn’t suffice to run provinces. So they took over the existing bureaucracies, staffed by Greek-speaking Christians and Jews. It was those officials who saved the Greek classics for Europe’s future Renaissance — and their descendants designed Islam’s greatest monuments.

Yes, some Arab rulers came to value learning — but the Arab world never produced a Homer, Plato, Sophocles or Thucydides whose appeal transcended their culture.
Islam was a religion spread by war. It was only a “religion of peace” where it had conquered. True, Islam sometimes proved more tolerant of minorities than Europeans, but that was at the zenith of the faith’s power.

Punishment being meted out to the Kenyans for so called disciplinary issues by the Chicoms

The SGR train is the Madaraka Express, which operates between Kenya’s Port of Mombasa and the capital city Nairobi. Racism is rampant, to the point where the Chinese have apparently set up an apartheid system. At the staff canteen, Kenyans may not sit at the same tables as Chinese. Kenyans may not share the company’s staff vans used by the Chinese. All the signs are written in Chinese, apparently with no translations available, to prevent the Kenyans from doing many of the jobs.

Although Kenyan workers have at least civil engineering degrees, the Chinese masters order them to perform only menial tasks, well below their skill levels. If a Kenyan refuses to perform menial work as ordered, he can be physically punished. Furthermore, when a Kenyan and a Chinese employee perform the same job, the Chinese employee’s salary is four times as high. There are 40 Kenyan locomotive drivers employed by the company, but the Chinese do not actually let them drive the train. The Chinese are supposed to be training Kenyans to do the technical jobs, but according to one Kenyan driver who has been working at the company for over a year, “We just sit at the back and watch. There is no actual transfer of skills that is happening here.”

Chinese workers blatantly violate the rules – smoking inside the trains, urinating on the tracks, and other violations that are ignored for the Chinese workers but would immediately get a Kenyan worker fired. The Chinese contractor CRBC is apparently also guilty of corruption and financial fraud. Some employees have also discovered that the Chinese contractor has been reporting different figures to the Kenya Revenue Authority for tax purposes.

Khairy Jamaluddin

COMMENT | With Umno going full metal far right, the only person in the largest opposition party who seems to be talking any sense is former youth chief Khairy Jamaluddin.

Those who conclude from this that the jihad is over in India, and Muslims there are now loyal members of Indian society, happy to contribute to their nation’s defense, should also bear in mind that those who killed today’s Aurangzeb were animated by the same jihadist principles and exhortations that motivated the first Aurangzeb, the bloody seventeenth-century Mughal emperor. And there are many of them.

As I show in my new book The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS, Aurangzeb was outrageously cruel to his non-Muslim subjects. In 1670 he issued this decree: “Every idol-house built during the last 10 or 12 years, whether with brick or clay, should be demolished without delay. Also, do not allow the crushed Hindus and despicable infidels to repair their old temples.”

A Muslim historian, Saqa Mustad Khan, writing just after Aurangzeb died in 1707, reported that in January 1680, Aurangzeb “went to view lake Udaisagar, constructed by the Rana, and ordered all the three temples on its banks to be demolished.” The following day, “Hasan Ali Khan brought to the Emperor twenty camel-loads of tents and other things captured from the Rana’s palace and reported that one hundred and seventy-two other temples in the environs of Udaipur had been destroyed.” Later that year, “Abu Turab, who had been sent to demolish the temples of Amber, returned to Court…and reported that he had pulled down sixty-six temples.”

Bakhtawar Khan, a nobleman during Aurangzeb’s reign, was also pleased, noting that “Hindu writers have been entirely excluded from holding public offices, and all the worshipping places of the infidels and great temples of these infamous people have been thrown down and destroyed in a manner which excites astonishment at the successful completion of so difficult a task.”

You won’t learn all this in today’s whitewashed, politically motivated histories. But you can get the truth in The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS: click here to preorder. The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS is the only comprehensive one-volume history of jihad in the English language, including not just the jihad in Europe but in India, Africa and elsewhere, drawing primarily on accounts of eyewitnesses and contemporary chroniclers. Arm yourself with the truth against the prevailing disinformation. Preorder here now. “A tale of two Aurangzebs,” by Minhaz Merchant, New Indian Express, July 7, 2018:

This is our reality: 90 rockets and mortar shells fired at Israel in less than 24 hours pic.twitter.com/tMZAeEgj75

— IDF (@IDFSpokesperson) July 14, 2018

Netanyahu said that after consultations with Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman and the IDF chief of Staff Gadi Eisenkot it was decided to take “powerful action against Hamas terror.” Ynetnews reports: A family of four Israelis were lightly wounded from shrapnel of a Gaza rocket that landed near a home in the city of Sderot on Saturday evening.

Another rocket landed near a synagogue in the city. The father of the family, 52, suffered injuries to his forehead and legs, the mother, 45, suffered injuries to her legs, a 15-year-old girl suffered injuries to her face, head and legs, and a 14-year-old girl suffered injuries to her face, legs and back of the head.

Tommy Robinson could easily win a seat in Parliament if he decided to do so. That would be a fantastic result of this government's tyrannical oppression and would stop any further similar attacks. I hope he does take them on and win. Could you imagine Tommy giving them the truth inside the Commons ? The BBC and the rest of the MSM could not avoid the real issues anymore. He could make real change possible.

The mother of Amira Abase, who was just 15 when she fled her London home to join IS in 2015, has told friends that she understands her daughter died almost a year ago.

“Feared” to have been killed??? I’m happy to hear it.

The Pakis should be doing this as a favourite pastime instead of killing minorities

“Persecution of Pakistani Christians Heightens in First Six Months of 2018,” Persecution.org, July 11, 2018: Washington D.C. (International Christian Concern) – The first six months of 2018 have marked the beginning of another frightening and difficult year for Christians in Pakistan. As we review the last six months of Christian persecution in Pakistan, you will see that the nation is yet to experience any positive change regarding religious freedom for Christians.

Since the formation of the country, Pakistan has regarded its religious minorities as second-class citizens. Upon reading Pakistan’s constitution, one can see evidence of this. Religious minorities are legally barred from high government offices and all laws are required to be compatible with Islamic teachings. The interpretation of the constitution has only served to reinforce the marginalization of Christians and other religious minorities.

Pakistan’s notorious blasphemy laws continue to damage Pakistan’s Christian community as seven Christians were booked under these laws between January and June 2018. Six of these blasphemy accusations were reported from Faisalabad and one from Lahore.

Yes. This has been going on for years, and is already quite far advanced. “It isn’t Islamophobic to criticise Sadiq Khan,” by Brendan O’Neill, Spiked, July 13, 2018: …Trump is saying that Sadiq is ‘responsible for terrorism’, says Labour’s shadow foreign secretary Emily Thornberry. He didn’t say that, though. He simply said Sadiq has done a bad job on terrorism – the same way many, many people said Tony Blair did a bad job on terrorism and may even have stoked it up with his foreign interventions.

Everything about this dash to brand Trump an Islamophobe for criticising the London mayor is worrying. It confirms that the chattering-class concern with Islamophobia is not about protecting Muslims from genuine discrimination or violence (both of these things are already illegal), but rather is about ringfencing Islam and all Muslims from criticism, surrounding this one religion with a blasphemy-deflecting forcefield.

So any commentary on Islam or even on influential Muslims can be casually batted aside as ‘phobic’. Even worse, today’s spat shows that now political debate, never mind differences on religion, can be demonised with the Islamophobia brand. Is it Islamophobic to criticise Sadiq? Must we all hold our tongue because he is of Asian and Muslim origin? Isn’t that, erm, a little racist – treating a brown-skinned politician more gently and cautiously than you would a white one?

And this is worrying because of what it tells us about the, Communist Bastard, Corbyn-led Labour Party: that it has been swallowed up by the infantile politics of grievance, identity and offence-taking. These are no longer traits limited to the so-called ‘snowflake’ generation or people in academia – rather, political parties themselves now embrace and weaponise overblown identitarian sensitivity and self-pity in order to chill political criticism, silence certain opinions, and exercise greater control over what it is permissible to say in public life.

People are using Trump’s visit to talk up the division and crisis he has apparently visited upon the American republic, but right now I am more worried by the insight we are getting into the further drift of British political life into the elitism and censoriousness of identity politics.

A court found the teen not criminally responsible because he was suffering from a psychotic episode in which he believed the Qur’an had sent him a message to kill Hare.” Did he really need a “psychotic episode” to get the idea that the Qur’an wanted him to slit the throat of a non-Muslim? “When you meet the unbelievers, strike the necks” (Qur’an 47:4).

“Hare alleges in the lawsuit filed in B.C. Supreme Court that UBC failed to install or properly install a peephole or any chains, bars or latches that would allow a door to be opened safely while remaining locked and preventing unwanted entry of potential assailants….’The assault occurred due to the negligence of UBC.'”

Yes, but UBC’s negligence didn’t consist of not installing chains, bars or latches. It consisting of admitting a student who took the Qur’an’s orders to kill unbelievers as immediate marching orders. But there was no way they could have distinguished Tamer Almestadi from peaceful Muslim students before this happened, and so UBC administrators, like college and university administrators all over the U.S. and Canada, chose to put their entire student populations at risk. “Student attacked in dormitory sues UBC,” Canadian Press, July 13, 2018:-
