The Mullah - Mmadi Ahamada

The Bhagavad Gita? The firing of Mmadi Ahamada shows the willful ignorance and denial at the heart of the French response to jihad violence and Sharia oppression. How long can they pretend that the contents of the Qur’an and Hadith are “extremist,” and that every imam who remains on the job isn’t quoting them? At some point France will have to come to terms with what the Qur’an and Hadith really say, and what the implications of their contents are, but by then it will likely be far too late.

The imam of a mosque in France’s Loire region was dismissed at the behest of Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin, on the grounds that the verse and hadith the former recited in the Eid al-Adha prayer sermon were deemed “contrary to the values of the Republic.”

Imam of the Saint-Chamond Grand Mosque in France’s Loire region was dismissed by the order of the interior minister, on the grounds that the verse and hadith he recited in the Eid al-Adha prayer sermon were deemed “contrary to the values of the Republic”. Mmadi Ahamada, the imam of the Great Mosque of Saint-Chamond, who is of Comoros origin, shared a hadith and Surah Ahzab verses addressing the wives of the Prophet Muhammad in his sermon.

After Isabelle Surply, a member of the Municipal Council of the Republican Party, shared a video of the sermon online, Darmanin asked the Loire Governor’s Office to dismiss the imam and ensure that his residence permit is not renewed, on the grounds that “he finds these statements unacceptable” and “sees them against gender equality”. Speaking to Le Progres website, Ahamada said some of the statements and verses in the sermon were taken and used out of context.

“Our girls do not have to stay at home, they become doctors, engineers or pilots,” he added. In a message on social media, the mosque administration announced that the imam has been dismissed…. On Late Friday, Lawyer Sefen Guez, a human rights advocate, criticized the French interior minister for targeting imams and for asking the governor to dismiss the imam. “The Saint-Chamond Mosque has confirmed what everyone knew: imams are appointed by governors in France,” he said on Twitter. Media expert Sylvain Tirreau accused Darmanin of having hatred towards Islam and said the interior minister did not give up on his attempts against Muslims.

The Dick - First Education Minister of India

Abul Kalam Ghulam Muhiyuddin Ahmed bin Khairuddin Al-Hussaini Azad

In the year 711AD an Arab army led by Muhammad Bin Qasim invaded Hindustan through the Kingdom of Sindh ruled by one Raja Dahir Sen. The ruler of Sind gave his life defending Bharat. His daughters were taken to Damascus as sex slaves for the Caliph along with 20,000 Hindu girls. Yet few Indians know anything about Raja Dahir. Host Tarek Fatah hopes India would honour Dahir by naming a street or highway after the Sindhi King.

Indians also don't know about Raja Dahir because of our white washed History Syllabus by the Congress Party and that Dick of an Education Minister. In India due to the Congress Party made up of Muslims, all we know is Mughals and British.

What is Ghazwa-e-Hind? Exposing the evil doctrine to eliminate Hindus.

Shameless people believe in eliminating their ancestors. It's time to wake up. It's not just about us anymore it's about our future generations. I want my children and grandchildren to live in a peaceful Bharat .Our ancestors fought and died for us to be free to be what we are today and We have to make sure It remains that day till the time's end.

Angela Merkel the Bitch of Germany

“You won’t believe it: 24 Islamists in North Rhine-Westphalia have a gun license!,” translated from “Man glaubt es nicht: 24 Islamisten in NRW haben eine Waffenerlaubnis!,” PolitikStube, July 24, 2021 (thanks to Medforth):

You can’t make this up: as of February 2, 2021, there were 24 people in North Rhine-Westphalia with a firearms license, despite knowledge of their links to Islamist activities!

For twelve of these people, the withdrawal of the gun license is not even enforceable. The Ministry of the Interior revealed this at the request of the chairman of the AfD parliamentary group in North Rhine-Westphalia, Markus Wagner. And this statement does not exactly inspire confidence either:

There is “no case” in which a gun license has been refused on the basis of an official suspicion of Islamism. Markus Wagner comments:

“Of course, it’s not that Islamists need a legal gun license to do bad things.

According to Fr. George Ehusani, a priest of the Diocese of Lokoja and executive director of the Lux Terra Leadership Foundation, many of those secretly backing the activities of militants in Nigeria occupy key positions in various sectors of the country.

Another BS fairytale!! Wow, a dog filled with joy, gentleness, kindness and peace, the spirit of the "Fairy" was working overtime there. This is the most ridiculous claim full of terrorist threats and actually useless. No one is scared of terrorists.

When are we going to talk about Hatun Tash? She’s the ex-Muslim and Christian evangelist who was allegedly slashed with a knife in broad daylight in Speakers’ Corner in Hyde Park yesterday. And almost as shocking as the incident itself – as this horrific assault on a woman who was merely expressing her beliefs – has been the silence about it. There has been a trickle of press interest, but no big media splashes, no hashtag solidarity, no politicians expressing concerns that Britain seems to have become a country in which you criticise Islam at your peril. What is going on here?

Ms Tash is a former Muslim who is now a Christian and a prominent critic of Islam. Her religious view is that Muslims should be encouraged to convert to the Christian faith in order to save themselves. No doubt many Muslims find this an offensive idea, which they are perfectly at liberty to do. Tash is a regular of Speakers’ Corner. She engages in heated debates with Islamic preachers and others. Yesterday she was wearing a Charlie Hebdo t-shirt and making her usual comments about Islam, when a man in a black hood lunged towards her with great force, slashing at her face and her arm. Her face was covered in blood. The video, which has been widely shared online, is a difficult watch.

As the Met Police have said, we do not yet know the motive of the attacker. But one can make a reasonable guess that Tash was assaulted for her beliefs. Indeed, this isn’t the first time she has been attacked. Last year, she was punched in the face after displaying a cartoon of Muhammad at Speakers’ Corner. She was advised by police not to return to Speakers’ Corner – traditionally the one place in the UK where you can express pretty much any belief you like – for her own safety.

On Sunday at the famed Speakers’ Corner in London’s Hyde Park, Hatun Tash, a convert from Islam to Christianity who frequently engages in debates with Muslims, was stabbedabove her right eye and on her hand by a Muslim who objected to her preaching, as well as, apparently, her Charlie Hebdo t-shirt.

Hatun Tash was there because Speakers’ Corner has over the past century and a half gained a reputation as a place where anyone can say anything, aside from calling for criminal behavior, and freedom of speech is respected and protected. But in today’s Britain, where mass migration, largely of Muslims from North Africa, continues at a greater rate than ever with virtually nothing being done to stop it, those days appear to be drawing to a close.

Britain’s Royal Parks website still says it: “Speakers’ Corner is a traditional site for public speeches and debates since the mid 1800’s when protests and demonstrations took place in Hyde Park….Anyone can turn up unannounced to speak on any subject, as long as the police consider their speeches lawful.”

Nowadays, however, Speakers’ Corner has come to be dominated by Muslim preachers who try to convert people to Islam, which is fair enough, and physically intimidate those who challenge them, which isn’t. Longtime London resident and Jihad Watch correspondent Joshua Winston observes: “Speakers’ Corner in 2000 hosted a variety of speakers. Everything from gay rights to vegans through to New World Order people.”

Englandistan

However, “the past couple of years has seen the variety of topics and speakers diminish. In the last year, Islam has begun to dominate Speakers’ Corner. I would estimate that the speakers and attendees there are about 80% Muslim, 10% Christian, with the remaining 10% spread across a variety of other denominations and political activists.”

The change in demographics has led to a change in the atmosphere of the place. Winston explains: “What I have witnessed in my 18 years of attending Speakers’ Corner is the rise of intimidation tactics accompany the increase in the number of Muslim speakers. The Muslims seek to intimidate other speakers, and they appear to want to claim the place or settle the piece of land as their own. They lay their prayer mats down on the grass and they leave them there all day, essentially blocking parts of the park off to other people. They have loud calls to prayer. All of it against park laws.” Winston has experienced this personally: “I myself have had loads of physical violence heaped upon me. I’ve been chased out of the park. I’ve been smacked in the face by an Algerian. I’ve witnessed people being pushed off of ladders and punched and kicked, all because their opinion differed from the teachings of Islam.”

As all this happens, London police generally turn a blind eye. They seem anxious above all not to offend members of the country’s growing and restive Muslim community and thus have been slow to act against those who commit assault and traffic in intimidation at Speakers’ Corner. This is one manifestation of a larger phenomenon: As rape gangs made up almost entirely of Muslims destroyed the lives of thousands of British non-Muslim girls, authorities in numerous cases did nothing to stop the perpetrators, for fear that acting against them would open them up to charges of “racism” and “Islamophobia.”

There is more.

A survivor that escaped the deadly tunnel is telling his story. He says the water rose too fast, and many people couldn't make it to safety. What made the flood in Zhengzhou so deadly? Analysts say it has to do with authorities discharging water from local reservoirs without warning. There are more natural disasters in China. The floods are continuing in central China, a #Typhoon hits Shanghai, and a Northwestern city is suffering a rare #Sandstorm. U.S. efforts to prevent Beijing’s technology theft are dealt a blow.

Not Stabbed by a Syrian Christian as it was spun, but a Muslim

COMMENT | If there is one thing a kakistocracy does well, it is to create small groups of people to manage a problem that the architects of such groups created in the first place. 

The keyword here is "manage" and not "solve" because solving problems requires a skill set that these political operatives and their various lackeys do not have.

The people who do have the required skills, commitment and dedication to actually help solve problems will no doubt be shunted aside, lost in the constant politicking that would go on in these types of “special councils”.

Child Brides of Pukistan

The persecution worldwide by Muslims of both those Muslims who are deemed to be apostates and of infidels is unmatched by any other group. Still, the lie that Muslims are suffering under systemic “Islamophobia” persists. French teacher Samuel Paty was openly beheaded in France while multitudes of Muslims protested against his allegedly committing blasphemy, instead of protesting against the fact that he was beheaded. This kind of behavior would never be tolerated from any other religion but Islam, the so-called “religion of peace.”

“Christians suffer court setback in child marriages in Pakistan,” Morning Star News, July 22, 2021:

Efforts to end the abduction and forced conversion/marriage of minor Christian girls suffered a setback when the Supreme Court of Pakistan last week declined to intervene in the issue, sources said. Supreme Court Justice Mushir Alam on Wednesday (July 14) rejected an appeal by a senior church leader for a constitutional petition to protect Christian girls from forcible conversion to Islam and marriage to Muslims.

“We had pinned our hopes on the Supreme Court for addressing this longstanding genuine grievance of the Pakistani Christians, but we are deeply disappointed and saddened by this decision,” Bishop Azad Marshall, moderator bishop of the Church of Pakistan and president of the National Council of Churches in Pakistan (NCCP), told Morning Star News. “The court has, however, stated in the order that it will take this issue up if we bring a specific case before it.”

Filed by renowned human rights lawyer Saif Ul Malook on behalf of Marshall, the petition stated that Pakistan accords a degree of permanence to the abduction and forcible conversion of Christian girls by allowing them to marry Muslims without ascertaining the pressures coming to bear on girls when they make declarations of consent before trial and high courts, nor taking into account their intellectual, emotional and social maturity.

The petition asserted that courts fail to consider whether declarations of consent are voluntary or result from threats, psychological abuse and conditioning and fear of social stigma and rebuke. The petition also asked the court to recognize the difference between Pakistani penal laws and sharia (Islamic law), as the latter is one of the major causes behind the exploitation of Christian girls.

Marshall said the petition was filed under the Pakistani constitution’s Article 184(3), under which the Supreme Court has “original jurisdiction in matters of public importance with reference to the enforcement of any of the fundamental rights guaranteed by the Constitution of Pakistan.”

Ezrati said, "If China gains the upper hand, it is going to be effectively a, forgive me for being blunt, almost a situation with an empire where China runs the show, and everyone else pays tribute or, and gets what they can. But everything is done out of Beijing. And now a lot of people might say the United States did that. And I'm not saying the United States is always equitable in its dealings with people. But the United States primarily was pushing for free trade until recently."

Schaerer said, "The biggest kind of problem right now is that we're funding our own demise through these kinds of channels that go back into the Chinese coffers. And that money is then used to attack us through all the different mediums that were originally written about and discussed in books like 'Unrestricted Warfare' that were written by the PLA [ People's Liberation Army] to literally destroy and replicate the United States ...

And also being kind of well-read on the subject, whether that's my book, but that's other books, that are kind of written about the issues that are happening with China, the ongoing relations with the United States and China.

However, that has not stopped China from using thousands of fishing boats to push Philippine boats away from these contested areas. These occupying Chinese boats are now causing a serious threat to marine life in the region. Here are the details: The Associated Press reports that sewage from hundreds of stationary Chinese boats is causing algae blooms that have damaged coral reefs and threatened fish stocks in an unfolding environmental disaster.

Western analysts say the boats are part of a huge Chinese maritime militia that use sheer force of numbers to push other nations out of contested areas in the South China Sea. Satellite images over the last five years show how human sewage and wastewater have accumulated around these stationary flotillas, causing damaging algae blooms which are destroying reefs that are vital for the reproduction of fish stocks.

Analysts of Simularity Inc, a company that specializes in satellite imagery analysis, spoke on Monday, July 12, at a Philippine online news forum on China’s actions in the South China Sea — a sea that China claims to be almost entirely its own. The analysts showed satellite images of at least 236 ships anchored at the Union Banks atoll on June 17 alone.  The images also showed large blooms of algae spreading out around the cluster of ships.

Thanks for your bravery to report the truth, and historical facts, without the poison of a liberal agenda or fear of Islamist extremists!! Very heroic !!!! We all know what the outrage would have looked like. This is a massive development which displays Israel’s growing diplomatic prowess and most importantly development of strong ties with Japan. Israel and Japan’s growing relationship is a sign of utmost threat to China’s belligerence.

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], July 21 (ANI/PNN): The film ‘Jihad‘, which has won awards in 35 national and international film festivals, is releasing on the OTT platform “Mastani” on 21st July 2021, the day of Eid, said Hyder Kazmi, the founder of OTT platform Mastani, and actor of the film Jihad.

He said that everyone is waiting for the release of this film. Jihad has also shown its glory at the “Cannes Film Festival”.

Hyder said that today there is confusion among the people regarding the word Jihad; to clear the same we have made a film named ‘Jihad‘. Jihad is seen by linking it with terrorism. Most people are unaware of the real meaning of Jihad, which we are bringing in front of people through this film.

COMMENT | Zaid Ibrahim’s recent public statements that ignoring meritocracy for decades has led to the dismal response to this pandemic is just another reminder that nothing will ever really change in this country.

On the other hand, Muslim Association of Canada is given money to fight islamophobia – Shouldn’t we first agree what is Islam before fighting Islamophobia? I am always amazed at the hypocrisy shown by Muslims. This quality has United them with the leftists. Thanks for breaking it down for us.

Chinese citizens are questioning why authorities didn’t give notice before opening the floodgates of a reservoir, after the released water flooded residential areas downstream.

A third Chinese dam failed amid heavy rains. First, there was an over 60-foot-wide breach in the structure. Later, soldiers blasted a gap in it Wednesday, hoping to let floodwaters out.

All right. But will the human rights reports note the large number of faked anti-Muslim hate crimes? Will the human rights reports make a clear distinction between “Islamophobia” as attacks on innocent Muslims, which are never justified, and “Islamophobia” as honest analysis of the motivating ideology behind jihad violence, which is always necessary?

Of course the answer to both questions is a resounding no. If this “special envoy” is created, he or she will crack down on honest discussion of how Islamic jihadis use the texts and teachings of Islam to justify violence and oppression. The special envoy will be another agent in the Left’s escalating war against the freedom of speech.

“Rep. Ilhan Omar and other Dems push for the creation of a special envoy to combat Islamophobia,” by Alex Nitzberg, The Blaze, July 20, 2021:

Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota and multiple other Democratic legislators are urging Secretary of State Antony Blinken to establish a special envoy to combat Islamophobia.

“As part of our commitment to international religious freedom and human rights, we must recognize Islamophobia as a pattern that is repeating in nearly every corner of the globe,” the lawmakers state in a letter to Blinken, according to CNN. “It is past time for the United States to stand firmly in favor of religious freedom for all, and to give the global problem of Islamophobia the attention and prioritization it deserves.”

Omar is co-leading the letter along with Rep. Jan Schakowsky of Illinois. An additional 23 Democratic lawmakers have joined as well, according to the outlet. Some of the other Democratic lawmakers backing the letter include Reps. Karen Bass of California, Jim McGovern of Massachusetts, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, Adam Smith of Washington and Sara Jacobs of California, according to CNN. The Hill mentioned Reps. Debbie Dingell of Michigan, Judy Chu of California and Steve Cohen of Tennessee. The legislators want Blinken “to specifically include anti-Muslim violence per se in next year’s annual human rights reports,” according to The Hill.

“In addition to state-sponsored policies of Islamophobia, we have seen a disturbing rise in incidents of Islamophobic violence committed by individuals connected to larger transnational white supremacist networks, including but by no means limited to the mosque shooting in Christchurch, New Zealand in 2019 and the recent murder of a Muslim Canadian family in London, Ontario,” the legislators stated in the letter,

Jihad Watch : Father Frank Schwarz laments attacks “not against just Catholic churches, synagogues, mosques — these things have become much more commonplace. I don’t know how to respond to that. Just general anti-religious sentiment.”

“Police search for person who vandalized Catholic church in Queens,” by Justine Re, NY1, July 18, 2021 :

QUEENS — The search is on for the person who police say vandalized two statues outside a Queens church Saturday morning after the suspect responsible was caught on surveillance video. The incident happened outside Our Lady of Mercy Roman Catholic Church on Kessel Street in Forest Hills. Police say a woman grabbed two statues, one the Blessed Mother and one of St. Therese the Little Flower, and proceeded to repeatedly smash them and drag them along the ground.

The NYPD Hate Crimes Task Force is investigating. The church’s pastor, Father Frank Schwarz, said both statues have stood in front of the church since it was built in the 1930s “It is heartbreaking, but sadly it is becoming more and more common these days,” Father Schwarz said. “I pray that this recent rash of attacks against Catholic churches and all houses of worship will end, and religious tolerance may become more a part of our society.”

Police released the surveillance video of the woman they are looking for. She is described as wearing all black and in her mid-20s. Police say she used a hammer to break them and they were then dragged to 70th Ave. Father Schwarz hopes the police find the person behind this so it doesn’t happen to other churches.

“It seems to be targeted. These things have become much more commonplace, not against just Catholic churches, synagogues, mosques — these things have become much more commonplace. I don’t know how to respond to that. Just general anti-religious sentiment,” Schwarz said…. “Pray for this person,” Reverend Schwarz said. “Clearly there was a rage, she deliberately went and destroyed these things.

An estimated 3,462 Nigerian Christians have been killed this year by Nigerian Jihadists, Fulani herdsmen and state actors up till 18 July. The International Society for Civil Liberties and Rule of Law gave this grim report today. According to the report, Benue and Kaduna have recorded the most deaths in the last six months.

“Benue State recorded the highest number of Christian deaths in the past 200 days with 450 and had recorded 200 deaths in Jan to April and 250 from May to 18th July. “Kaduna State came second with 410 Christian deaths and had recorded 300 deaths in Jan to April and 110 from May to 18th July; “Taraba State came third with 240 deaths”, the report said.

The authors also blamed the genocide going on in Zamfara, Kaduna and most parts of the North west to “muslim Fulani bandits”. The report comes with citations about the places of the killings. The group based in Onitsha Anambra has been tracking such killings in the past.

Read the full report:

Intersociety, Nigeria: Sunday, July 18, 2021: The number of defenceless Christians hacked to death by Nigeria’s Islamic Jihadists and their collaborators in the security forces in the past 200 days or 1st January to 18th July 2021 has risen to no fewer than 3, 462 and this is just sixty-eight deaths less than the total deaths of Nigerian Christians in 2020 which the Open Doors’ World Watch List of Persecuted Christians put at ‘3,530’.

Afghan Tamim Sultani was sentenced to life in prison in Sweden on Wednesday for attacking and injuring seven people with a knife in the southern part of the country in March.

The 22-year-old Afghan arrived in Sweden in 2018. During the trial, Tamim Sultani said that he felt bad at the time, that he was angry with one person who “harassed” him. So he went home, took a knife, went to the station in Vetland, and attacked two men at random. He does not remember why he attacked them or how he got to the station at all.

“It was as if my brain had stopped working. I felt very bad mentally,“ Sultani said in court.  The attack lasted 18 minutes, during which he managed to stab seven people, three of whom suffered severe injuries…..

Following his arrest, and based on a court ruling, he underwent a forensic psychiatric examination. It turned out that he did not suffer from any serious mental disorders during the act, and therefore he could stand trial.

Jihad Watch : Three things to know about Ubax Gardheere

1. Her personal pronouns are She/Her

2. She’s “unapologetically Black, Muslim, Somali, & American”

3. Also she claimed to have a bomb on a school bus

A video from 2010 has resurfaced of a now King County Council candidate threatening a bus full of students, claiming she had a bomb.

In the video, obtained by The Post Millennial, Ubax Gardheere boards a Highline School District bus full of middle school students and tells the driver there is a “national security incident.” She advises the driver that he cannot leave.

“Advises”

“How do you know what I have? I might have a bomb,” she said to the driver – a claim she later repeated to the students. She also suggested she might have a gun hidden under her clothing.

Children are seen running out of the emergency exit on the bus as Gardheere screams “Cowards! Cowards! Cowards!”

So obviously Ubax got a job in equity.

In the years since the incident, Gardheere was hired by the City of Seattle as the “equities strategy manager” under former Mayor Ed Murray.

Former mayor and child molester Ed Murray who was accused of child abuse by everyone including his cousin. So Ubax and Ed were a marriage made in heaven that led to Ubax running for public office because woke cities are the only places in America where that’s possible.

SEIU has endorsed Ubax.

As the climax of the joke, Ubax Gardheere was endorsed by the Transit Riders Union. Her defenders are claiming that any mention of the school bus attack is a “classic attack from the right wing media.”

As opposed to this innovative Somali Muslim attack on a school bus.

Nine civilians were killed in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo by rebels with the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) affiliated to the so-called Islamic State, military and local sources said on Friday.

Kakule Kalunge, chief of the city of Kalunguta in the Beni region of North Kivu told AFP that ADF fighters had shot five civilians, including four men and one woman, overnight on Thursday. “Among those killed is the president of the network of civilian organisations,” said Kakule. “His death pushed other residents to leave the city.”…

On the same night further north in Irumu in the neighbouring province of Ituri, another attack killed four people, army spokesman Jules Ngongo told AFP….

The ADF began as an armed Ugandan Muslim group that implanted itself in eastern DR Congo in 1995. It has not carried out any attacks in Uganda itself for years and lives off extortion and control over the region’s abundant resources. The Catholic Church in the DR Congo says the ADF has massacred around 6,000 civilians since 2013, a toll that has risen sharply since 2019, when the militia appears to have become more radicalised.

It has not only deplatformed former US President Donald Trump, but has worked against the Indian government as well. Also, earlier this year, the micro-blogging site was banned by the Nigerian government after it deleted one of the Nigerian President’s tweets.

The social media giant has arbitrarily blocked and banned numerous accounts in the name of community standards, when they became roadblocks in its propaganda. Though regular users in India have never been able to decipher what these “community standards” exactly are, they were shocked to see Twitter award the Popular Front of India’s (PFI) Karnataka Unit profile with the “blue check,” thereby confirming its Twitter verified status. The handle has a mere 16,000 followers. The “blue check” is ostensibly used only to note that a prominent person or group’s account is authentic, but has often been used as a badge of Twitter’s approval, with blue checks removed or withheld from the accounts of noteworthy people and groups who oppose Twitter’s agenda.

PFI is a notorious Islamic outfit that has been accused of anti-national activities including funding jihad terrorism, perpetrating jihad terrorist attacks, black money trading, eliciting large-scale communal clashes in different parts of the country, and incentivizing “love jihad.” This Islamic outfit has allegedly been involved in several political murders and has been named by investigative entities, including the National Investigation Agency (NIA), in some high-profile criminal cases.

According to the official website of the Ministry of Water Resources of China, between 8:00 p.m. on July 17th and 2:00 p.m. on July 18th, heavy to severe rainfall occurred in Morin Dawa Banner of Hulunbuir City, an Autonomous Region in Inner Mongolia. At 1:48 p.m. on July 18th, a dam collapsed at Yongan Reservoir on a tributary of the Nuomin River in Mo Banner; after the collapse of the dam, a large amount of floodwater rushed into Xinfa Reservoir 13 kilometers downstream, causing another dam to collapse at about 3:30 p.m. at Xinfa Reservoir, which has a capacity of 38 million Cubic Metres.

According to mainland media reports, the people of the four downstream villages have been evacuated, and authorities have yet to announce casualty numbers. On the night of the 18th, the flood has merged into the mainstream of the Nuomin River. Flooding caused the G111 national highway in Mo Banner to collapse, causing road disruptions. Downstream villages and farmlands have been turned into a sea of water.

It is reported that 16,660 people were affected by the dam breach, and 54,000 acres of farmland were flooded. The flood also destroyed 22 bridges, 124 culverts, 15.6 kilometers of highways, and 20 kilometers of road shoulders.

From information on the web, we know that Xinfa Reservoir was built in 1958 and started operation in 1959. No information was found on Yongan Reservoir, but it’s said that the two reservoirs went through reinforcement and maintenance in 1997. It’s estimated that the two reservoirs were built around the same time.

According to 2021 statistics from the Ministry of Water Resources, there are 98,000 reservoirs in China, including 4,700 reservoirs with a capacity of 10 Million to 1 Billion cubic meters, and 94,000 reservoirs with a capacity of 100,000 to 10 million cubic meters. More than 80% of them were built in the 1950s and 1970s, and more than 95% before the 1980s. The information shows that over 95% of China's reservoir dams are earth and rock-fill dams, and their lifespans are usually only about 50 years. Therefore, most of the dams in China have exceeded or are approaching the end of their design life.

According to the statistics of dams from 1954 to 2001, the annual rate of dam failures in China reached 0.088%, while the average annual rate of dam failures overseas since 1900, excluding those caused by war, is 0.02% in the United States, 0.004% in Japan, and 0.02% on average in the world. Therefore, the average annual rate of dam failures in China is more than four times the world average.

In August 2013, flooding across six provinces in China resulted in many deaths and injuries due to dam collapses. In an article titled "China's Dangerous Dams: 179 Cities Facing Dam Collapse," the Chinese media outlet NetEase News said that more than 84,000 small and medium-sized reservoirs in China lack funds for management and maintenance, and that dams would collapse from time to time. As a result of reservoir and dam problems, 179 cities, a quarter of all cities in China, and 285 counties, a sixth of all counties, are facing serious risks.

Watching the video there is no social distancing. The Penang police have apologised for failing to prevent a gathering outside a mosque in Juru, Penang today. The gathering took place outside the Taman Pelangi mosque. Video clips of the incident suggested that the congregation were mostly well spaced out. At a press conference in Penang today, state police chief Mohd Shuhaily Mohd Zain said the cops apologised for failing to uncover plans to gather beforehand.

He estimated that there were 200 people at the gathering. "I also wish to use this opportunity to urge mosque caretakers to report violations of Covid-19 protocols if they see any through this hotline - 04-222-1722," Shuhaily said. He added that the police were aware of the need to fulfil religious obligations but Covid-19 protocols still need to be maintained.

Here is another cluster in the making.

Not the Back Street Boys but the Back Door Charlatans

COMMENT | Communications and Multimedia Minister Saifuddin Abdullah's claim that the government does not manipulate or hide Covid-19 statistics is the kind of claptrap that makes this government even less credible than it already is. 

What this government has done is make it impossible to accurately gauge the ravages of this pandemic.

Hospitals are reminding healthcare frontliners not to talk outside school, the state security apparatus is cracking down on healthcare workers for causing mischief when all they are talking about is the dire situation they are in, and of course, politicians from the Perikatan Nasional (PN) regime are busy waging a very public war to retain power.

Nobody has any idea, for instance, what the criteria are for states entering Phase 2 or Phase 3, or whatever fancy term is used to demonstrate that a particular state’s Covid-19 figures are decreasing. 

Or how states which do fulfil certain criteria but experience a resurgence will deal with such numbers, beyond the federal government coming up with on the fly strategies.

And forget about the ravages this pandemic has wrought on the economy. When a high ranking member of the PN government issues a public statement claiming that religion is placed over the economic interests of Malaysians, how exactly can anyone have faith that the government wants to get the economy back on track despite the rosy prognostications of someone like Azmin Ali or the finance minister?

This is why, when the current prime minister says that it is okay to raise the blue flag – the colour of the ruling regime – but not the white and black flags, what we are left with is a prime minister who only seems interested in the self-preservation of his coalition and not the welfare of the people.

A number of Muslims have been condemning Shaykh Uthman for lying. However, lying is permissible in certain cases in Islam. In this video, David Wood asks one of Shaykh Uthman's Muslim critics why the Shaykh's deception is not permissible.

The Nigga Obama With His Sick Twisted Smile

First, the sanitation. In a 2006 article, Osnos publicly scolded then-Sen. Obama for his “ruthlessness.” As Osnos recounted, hustling young agent Jane Dystel stuck by an unknown Obama even after he failed to honor a book contract with Simon & Schuster. Undaunted, Dystel landed Obama a new contract with Osnos, then the publisher of Times Books.

The punch line of the 2006 article is that, after Dreams took off in 2004, Obama repaid Dystel by dumping her for a D.C. power attorney. Obama’s “questionable judgment about using public service as a personal payday” dismayed the openly liberal Osnos.

That was 2006. In his 2021 memoir, Osnos includes the details of the original book deal with Dystel, but he purges all traces of Obama’s venality. Off-handedly, however, he adds a potentially damning detail. In 1994 — note the date — Obama met with Osnos and Times Books editor Henry Ferris to set terms. Writes Osnos, “He was determined, he said, to finish the book, which would involve a trip to Kenya for research about his father, who had died there in a car accident.”

Recently, Pakistan’s Prime Minister Imran Khan said he “accepted” China’s version regarding the treatment of Uyghur Muslims in Xinjiang province. Khan, a fierce critic of Islamophobia, said China’s version of bringing “improvement in the society” was much better than the model followed by the western democracies. He, in fact, hailed the Chinese Communist Party for it.

China has been calling the mass detention camps where Uyghur and other ethnic minorities are transferred as “vocational education and training centers”. However, the US, the European Union and the United Nations have called these centres as detention camps, which has almost two million Uyghur Muslims, according to different research reports, and accuse China of committing genocide and forcefully assimilating Uyghurs by banning its religious practices and restricting its population growth.
