While choking on their own hate, the collective negation of humanity ignores mass genocide, and instead advances Islamic Jew-hatred. The international community should be excoriating Islamic genocide, ethnic cleansing, subjugation, and oppression, instead of blaming the victims of these savages.

"Syria civil war death toll reaches 60,000, UN says" CBC January 2 2013

The United Nations estimated Wednesday that more than 60,000 people have been killed in Syria's civil war, a toll one-third higher than what anti-regime activists had counted in the 21-month-old conflict.

The UN human rights chief called the toll "truly shocking."

Activists opposed to the regime of President Bashar al-Assad had been estimating the death toll at more than 45,000. This was the first time that the UN estimate surpassed those of activist groups.

'The failure of the international community... to take concrete actions to stop the blood-letting shames us all.'— UN human rights chief Navi Pillay

"Given there has been no letup in the conflict since the end of November, we can assume that more than 60,000 people have been killed by the beginning of 2013," UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay said in a statement. "The number of casualties is much higher than we expected, and is truly shocking," she added.

"The failure of the international community, in particular the Security Council, to take concrete actions to stop the blood-letting, shames us all," Pillay said. "Collectively, we have fiddled at the edges while Syria burns."

Death toll likely greater

An airstrike on a gas station in a Damascus suburb on Wednesday pushed that death toll even higher. Activists said a Syrian warplane blasted the station, killing and wounding dozens of people and igniting a huge fire in what may be one of the bloodiest attacks in weeks.

The new UN analysis also said monthly casualty figures have been steadily increasing since the conflict began in March 2011.

Independent experts compared 147,349 killings reported by seven different sources — including the government — for the study, which was commissioned by the UN human rights office.

By removing duplicates they arrived at a list of 59,648 individuals killed between the start of the uprising on March 15, 2011, and Nov. 30, 2012. In each case, the victim's first and last name, the date and the location of his or her death were known.

The real death toll is likely to be even greater because reports containing incomplete information were excluded and a significant number of killings may not have been documented at all by the sources available.

Full circle and out of the proverbial closet. The left goes full-on jihad. Al Jazeera has acquired Current TV. More jihadist propaganda on your cable dial. Lord knows that there is a plethora of Muslim Brotherhood mouthpieces on broadband, but a dearth of pro-freedom voices (i.e. SUN TV).

Al Jazeera is the leading terrorist propaganda organization in the world. Jihad murder mastermind Anwar al-Awlaki has praised Al Jazeera, and several years ago one of its most prominent reporters was arrested on terror charges. Al Jazeera also has for years been the recipient of numerous Al Qaeda videos featuring bin Laden, Zawahiri, and American traitor Adam Gadahn. Yet they never seem to be able to trace where these videos are coming from. They have repeatedly been set up at the point of attack right before a bomb went off, so that they could take the picture of the slaughtered, dismembered bodies.

The dhimmi NY TImes call the acquisition "a coming-of-age moment" for Al Jazeera. Let's hope Mr. Stelter didn't wet his pants. It seems that the NY Times was bidding on Current as well, but clearly could not compete with the fat wallets of the jihadists:

For Al Jazeera, the acquisition is a coming-of-age moment. A decade ago, the Arabic-language channel was reviled by American politicians for showing video tapes and messages from al Qaeda members and sympathizers. Now it is acquiring an American channel.

We have been fighting this vile Muslim Brotherhood propaganda on our airwaves for years now. A few months back I joined forces with Cliff Kincaid of AIM, along with human rights activists and advocates for journalistic integrity, to protest the expansion of Al-Jazeera, terror TV, in the United States. I wrote about it here at The Daily Caller.

The Al Jizz jihadists have have performed an end run:

To date, the country’s cable and satellite distributors have been reluctant to carry Al Jazeera English. It is available in just a handful of cities, including New York and Washington. To change that, Al Jazeera has lobbied distributors, called for a letter-writing campaign by supporters and promoted its widely praised coverage of the Arab Spring.

Acquiring Current TV, and thus its distribution deals across the country, solves this dilemma for Al Jazeera, at least partially.

Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld called the broadcaster’s reporting "vicious, inaccurate and inexcusable" and President George W. Bush joked about bombing it, and senior Bush officials caricatured the channel as an anti-Semitic, anti-American outlet for Islamo-porn. And here we are eleven years after the largest and bloodiest Islamic attack on America and Al Jizz is buying Gore TV. This is a major step in the network’s goal of expanding jihad propaganda further into the U.S. cable market and gives it a chance to brainwash millions of Americans.

How much did those traitors sell us out for? Al Jazeera is a security threat to America. Demand investigative hearings.

Cue the whining murderers and savages. Time to do their daily wail, whaaaaa "islamophobia" and ululating mythical Muslim victimhood lies while they beat, slaughter, oppress, subjugate...

Arabs Beat Yeshiva Student Unconscious in Venice Attack Algemeiner, Janaury 2, 2013

A group of Arabs brutally attacked an American yeshiva student visiting with his family in Venice, Italy, on Tuesday, knocking him unconscious. The incident took place at night as the student strolled the city center. According to Arutz Sheva, 15 Arab youth were involved in the incident.

According to Arutz Sheva  the attackers fled when a passerby spotted them and called police and medics.

An individual at the Chabad House in Venice who did not wish to be named told The Algemeiner that the student was recovering and that such incidents were rare in Venice. The source also indicated how the Jewish community would respond. “We will answer evil with kindness,” the source said.

The Milan-based Jewish Center for Documentation’s Observatory on Anti-Jewish Prejudice issued a report in December that showed the number of anti-Semitic episodes in the country rose significantly in 2012.

”We observed approximately 70 cases so far this year, most of them graffiti and online attacks, over 40% more than last year,” said Observatory researcher Stefano Gatti. ”The boom might be due partly to more efficient data-gathering, but the episodes have undeniably increased,” he added.

Gatti pointed out that Italian pundits and politicians ”such as Silvio Berlusconi, Beppe Grillo or Piergiorgio Odifreddi” are now writing discriminatory posts and telling racist jokes. ”Making certain issues seem normal, even funny, is one of the root causes of the rise in anti-Semitic episodes in Italy,” Gatti concluded .

Calling out Al Jazeera, the mother ship of this century's Goebbels-style propaganda machine. Robert Spencer nails it:

Screaming hysteria from al-Jazeera: "Anti-Muslim violence spiralling out of control in America"

Note al-Jazeera's caption

Al-Jazeera has been dubbed "the most powerful voice of the Muslim Brotherhood." And Pamela Geller has noted that "Al Jazeera is the leading terrorist propaganda organization in the world. Jihad murder mastermind Anwar al-Awlaki has praised Al Jazeera, and several years ago one of its most prominent reporters was arrested on terror charges. Al Jazeera also has for years been the recipient of numerous Al Qaeda videos featuring bin Laden, Zawahiri, and American traitor Adam Gadahn. Yet they never seem to be able to trace where these videos are coming from. They have repeatedly been set up at the point of attack right before a bomb went off, so that they could take the picture of the slaughtered, dismembered bodies."

So it is no surprise that al-Jazeera would be joining Muslim Brotherhood-linked propagandist Wajahat Ali and pseudo-academic analyst of "Islamophobia" Haroon Moghul in trying in the most cynical fashion to exploit the murder of a Hindu by an insane woman to defame counter-jihadists by blaming it on us.

The December 31 al-Jazeera piece, "Anti-Muslim violence spiralling out of control in America," by Canadian "journalist" Murtaza Hussain, repeats the usual libels, distortions, and fictions that I've answered many, many times before (including the claim that "anti-Muslim violence is spiralling out of control in America" -- all that and more answered, rather comprehensively, here just a couple of days ago), and so I won't try your patience by repeating all the rebuttals.

What is noteworthy about the al-Jazeera piece is its bellowing, spitting, vein-popping hysteria, and its level of mendacity so high as to make Ali and Moghul look like sober truth-tellers. Start with the photo and caption above: "Egyptian-American activist Mona Eltahawy was arrested for attempting to cover an anti-Muslim ad in the subway." This suggests that Mona Eltahawy was not arrested for vandalism, which was actually the case, but for opposing an "Islamophobic" message -- as if America were so "Islamophobic" that rogue cops roam the streets (and subways) terrorizing anyone who dares to interfere with the omnipresent propagation of "hate."

And this "journalist," Murtaza Hussain, is right across the border in Toronto. In other words, he knows better, but he also knows the kind of raw red meat of America-hatred and lurid Muslim victimhood fantasy that al-Jazeera readers want.

Then in the article there is this:

...Leading figures in this movement such as Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer have led a crusade to vilify Muslims throughout the country and to exclude them from public life through campaigns of smears and hate-mongering which have cast Muslim-Americans as an insidious fifth column within the country....

Once again we see the peculiar practice of Islamic supremacists and Letists, of claiming that our anti-jihad ads "vilify Muslims." Most of the time they insist that the vast majority of Muslims abhor and oppose jihad terror, but when anyone speaks out against it, he's "vilifying Muslims."

Then comes the wholly fictitious claim that Geller and I want to "exclude [Muslims] from public life." And this clown has the chutzpah to complain about "smears and hate-mongering." Look in the mirror, Murtaza -- after you clear away the spittle you'll see a genuine smear merchant and hatemonger.

Obama's new Egypt -- the one he midwifed. I'd like to know why the President of the United States has not made one public condemnation of this annihilationist rhetoric. This is hardly the first -- it is repeated almost daily. But the flapping tongue in the White House has nothing to say on it. Silence is sanction.

Here's a round-up of the promised genocide of Christians and Jews by supremacist Muslims.

Here again is the lethal legacy of Obama's foreign policy, the catastrophic consequences of which the American people are still painfully unaware, thanks to an enemedia whose sole goal is to prop up and whitewash Obama's failed presidency.

"Al-Qaida carves out own country, prepare for global jihad" AP, December 31, 2012

Mali » Islamic fighters dig bunkers, train and stock weapons as they prepare for global jihad.

The Associated Press

 

Mopti, Mali • Deep inside caves, in remote desert bases, in the escarpments and cliff faces of northern Mali, Islamic fighters are burrowing into the earth, erecting a formidable set of defenses to protect what has essentially become al-Qaida’s new country.

They have used the bulldozers, earth movers and Caterpillar machines left behind by fleeing construction crews to dig what residents and local officials describe as an elaborate network of tunnels, trenches, shafts and ramparts. In just one case, inside a cave large enough to drive trucks into, they have stored up to 100 drums of gasoline, guaranteeing their fuel supply in the face of a foreign intervention, according to experts.

Northern Mali is now the biggest territory held by al-Qaida and its allies. And as the world hesitates, delaying a military intervention, the extremists who seized control of the area earlier this year are preparing for a war they boast will be worse than the decade-old struggle in Afghanistan.

"Al-Qaida never owned Afghanistan," said former United Nations diplomat Robert Fowler, a Canadian kidnapped and held for 130 days by al-Qaida’s local chapter, whose fighters now control the main cities in the north. "They do own northern Mali."

Al-Qaida’s affiliate in Africa has been a shadowy presence for years in the forests and deserts of Mali, a country hobbled by poverty and a relentless cycle of hunger. In recent months, the terror syndicate and its allies have taken advantage of political instability within the country to push out of their hiding place and into the towns, taking over an enormous territory which they are using to stock arms, train forces and prepare for global jihad.

The catalyst for the Islamic fighters was a military coup nine months ago that transformed Mali from a once-stable nation to the failed state it is today. On March 21, disgruntled soldiers invaded the presidential palace. The fall of the nation’s democratically elected government at the hands of junior officers destroyed the military’s command-and-control structure, creating the vacuum which allowed a mix of rebel groups to move in.

With no clear instructions from their higher-ups, the humiliated soldiers left to defend those towns tore off their uniforms, piled into trucks and beat a retreat as far as Mopti, roughly in the center of Mali. They abandoned everything north of this town to the advancing rebels, handing them an area that stretches over more than 240,000 square miles. It’s a territory larger than Texas or France — and it’s almost exactly the size of Afghanistan.

Turbaned fighters now control all the major towns in the north, carrying out amputations in public squares like the Taliban did. Just as in Afghanistan, they are flogging women for not covering up. Since taking control of Timbuktu, they have destroyed seven of the 16 mausoleums listed as world heritage sites.

The area under their rule is mostly desert and sparsely populated, but analysts say that due to its size and the hostile nature of the terrain, rooting out the extremists here could prove even more difficult than it did in Afghanistan. Mali’s former president has acknowledged, diplomatic cables show, that the country cannot patrol a frontier twice the length of the border between the United States and Mexico.

Al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb, known as AQIM, operates not just in Mali, but in a corridor along much of the northern Sahel. This 4,300-mile-long ribbon of land runs across the widest part of Africa, and includes sections of Mauritania, Niger, Algeria, Libya, Burkina Faso and Chad.

"One could come up with a conceivable containment strategy for the Swat Valley," said Africa expert Peter Pham, an adviser to the U.S. military’s African command center, referring to the region of Pakistan where the Pakistan Taliban have been based. "There’s no containment strategy for the Sahel, which runs from the Atlantic Ocean to the Red Sea."

Earlier this year, the 15 nations in West Africa, including Mali, agreed on a proposal for the military to take back the north, and sought backing from the United Nations. Earlier this month, the Security Council authorized the intervention but imposed certain conditions, including training Mali’s military, which is accused of serious human rights abuses since the coup. Diplomats say the intervention will likely not happen before September of 2013.

In the meantime, the Islamists are getting ready, according to elected officials and residents in Kidal, Timbuktu and Gao, including a day laborer hired by al-Qaida’s local chapter to clear rocks and debris for one of their defenses. They spoke on condition of anonymity out of fear for their safety at the hands of the Islamists, who have previously accused those who speak to reporters of espionage.

The al-Qaida affiliate, which became part of the terror network in 2006, is one of three Islamist groups in northern Mali. The others are the Movement for the Unity and Jihad in West Africa, or MUJAO, based in Gao, and Ansar Dine, based in Kidal. Analysts agree that there is considerable overlap between the groups, and that all three can be considered sympathizers, even extensions, of al-Qaida.

The Islamic fighters have stolen equipment from construction companies, including more than $11 million worth from a French company called SOGEA-SATOM, according to Elie Arama, who works with the European Development Fund. The company had been contracted to build a European Union-financed highway in the north between Timbuktu and the village of Goma Coura. An employee of SOGEA-SATOM in Bamako declined to comment.

The official from Kidal said his constituents have reported seeing Islamic fighters with construction equipment riding in convoys behind 4-by-4 trucks draped with their signature black flag. His contacts among the fighters, including friends from secondary school, have told him they have created two bases, around 120 and 180 miles north of Kidal, in the austere, rocky desert.

The first base is occupied by al-Qaida’s local fighters in the hills of Teghergharte, a region the official compared to Afghanistan’s Tora Bora.

He honor murdered her whole family, so why visit him? For the same reason Muslim mothers hold down their own daughters for female genital mutilation. It's their religion, culture, and way of life.

How can those victimized by such an evil system break the chains when the world and the leader of the free world insists we "respect it"?

Afghan inmate murders his wife when she visits him in prison, where he's doing time for murdering her relatives Jihadwatch

Why did she go visit him at all, after he had murdered her mother, brother and sister? Anyway, here is yet another Islamic honor killing.

Muslims commit 91 percent of honor killings worldwide. A manual of Islamic law certified as a reliable guide to Sunni orthodoxy by Al-Azhar University, the most respected authority in Sunni Islam, says that "retaliation is obligatory against anyone who kills a human being purely intentionally and without right." However, "not subject to retaliation" is "a father or mother (or their fathers or mothers) for killing their offspring, or offspring's offspring." ('Umdat al-Salik o1.1-2). In other words, someone who kills his child incurs no legal penalty under Islamic law.

The Palestinian Authority gives pardons or suspended sentences for honor murders. Iraqi women have asked for tougher sentences for Islamic honor murderers, who get off lightly now. Syria in 2009 scrapped a law limiting the length of sentences for honor killings, but "the new law says a man can still benefit from extenuating circumstances in crimes of passion or honour 'provided he serves a prison term of no less than two years in the case of killing.'" And in 2003 the Jordanian Parliament voted down on Islamic grounds a provision designed to stiffen penalties for honor killings. Al-Jazeera reported that "Islamists and conservatives said the laws violated religious traditions and would destroy families and values."

In light of all this, until authorities get the courage to tell the truth about honor killing, there will be many more such murders.

"Afghan inmate kills wife during prison visit," from AFP, January 2 (thanks to Lookmann):

AFP - An Afghan prisoner murdered his wife when she went to visit him, allegedly because she had been unfaithful after he was jailed for killing her relatives, police said.

Din Mohammad was sentenced to 20 years in prison two years ago for killing his mother-in-law, and his wife's brother and sister in the northern province of Samangan.

Mohammad's wife, whose name has not been disclosed, visited him in jail in the provincial capital Aybak on Monday and was found dead in a small private room used for inmates to see their wives, police said.

Mohammad confessed to her murder, Samangan police chief Ikram Nikzad told AFP.

"Mohammad was told by his mother that his wife had affairs," he said, citing a police investigation.

"When she came to visit him in jail he strangled her with her veil and killed her. They were meeting in a private prison room," he said.

Mohammad's mother has been detained for questioning, Nikzad added.

According to a UN report last month, Afghanistan has made progress in protecting women against violence, but many still suffer horrific abuse 11 years after a US-led invasion brought down the Taliban regime.

Afghan women still endure killings by relatives in the name of family honour, forced marriages and domestic abuses....
