Katya Koren – The Muslim Model Stoned to Death for Violating Sharia Law – Turns Out The Daily Mail Made It All Up

It was all over the papers – Katya Koren – a beautiful Muslim Ukrainian model – was stoned to death for participating in a beauty contest & “violating the laws of Sharia,” only thing is, it was all a pack of lies.

The Daily Fail, ever hungry to criticise Muslims on any given opportunity, decided to run the story that “A teenage Muslim girl was stoned to death under ‘Sharia law’ after taking part in a beauty contest in Ukraine.”

All the stereotype subtexts were there – Sharia law taking over – Muslim women should be killed for showing flesh etc all leading to the middle england Daily Mail reader fearing that some kind of nut case Islamic hordes are about to takeover their green and pleasant lands and invoke archaic rules over them all.

The Daily Mail, never wanting to let the facts get in the way of a good story, made the whole story up, they point blank lied.

The truth is that neither Katya or her alleged assailants are Muslim. In fact they were all “Christian with Russian roots”.

Bilal Gaziyev, the man who was outed as the Shariah Law promoting killer, was infact pressured by police into accepting the blame for the murder.

The true murderer was a psychologically unhinged classmate of Katya’s with Sergei Reznikov, a senior policeman involved in the case stating:

“A student did it, killing his classmate. There is no other underlying reason, neither religious nor linked with inter-ethnic conflicts”

This blatant propaganda against Islam by sections of the rabid (zionist owned) right wing press is disgusting. The constant spread of Islamophobic stories has to be monitored, reported and the “newspapers” (I use that term very loosely) have to be made accountable for the shit they are peddling as news.

The Government keep banging on with their prevent strategy, how about preventing the media from telling lies about Muslims?

or does that fly against freedom of speech and make me un-British?

We have to take a collective stand & demand that such practices by the media are stopped, otherwise people believe the hype about Muslims and it strengthens the racist right wing to fight us.

To the Daily Mail & The Mirror, you owe us an apology.

A Selective Approach to Western Justice As Butcher of Bosnia Ratko Mladic Goes to The Hague

Depending on what side of the fence you’re sitting on, you either view the arrest of Ratko Mladic with pleasure or disdain. The Akh is old enough to remember what The Butcher of Bosnia did, and when The Akh visited Bosnia & Croatia, the brutal legacy left behind by this man (and his followers in the Chetnik army) were nothing short of devilish.

For many young Muslims like myself at the time, we believed that this was yet another war against Muslims. Years later Radovan Karadzic admitted that the Serbs were engaged in a “just and holy war”, it was no rhetorical exaggeration, he and his supporters believed God was on their side, to battle against Muslims.

After the genocidal atrocities committed against the Jews in World War Two, the world collectively said “never again” would such acts happen again on European soil, so why less than 50 years later were concentration camps allowed to exist to exterminate tens of thousands of Muslims in Srebrenica?

Their aim was simply put:

“300,000 Muslims Will Die, They Will Disappear From The Face of This Earth”

Governments the world over want to know what it is that radicalises Muslims, all we had to do was turn on the TV and see for ourselves what the result of your political inabilities had resulted in – the slaughter and rape of Muslims, less than a three hour flight from London.

While the media talk about the great justice system we have, The Akh has to point out the hypocrisy and double standards being shown.

Ratko Mladic is known to be the General of the Serb forces that carried out these atrocities and yet he is captured peacefully and bought to trial, being responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands in the the former Yugoslavian block.

Yet Osama Bin Laden, is executed, for apparently being behind the 9/11 attacks for which no proof has ever been presented, proof on which a legal case can be built and a prosecution built upon.

Western journalists and media have been sitting on the fence for so long now that they have splinters up their backside.

This selective approach on when and where the law should be applied does nothing but create friction and adds fuel to the fire that many Muslims believe –

There is a war against Islam.

“Why YOU Cannot Win In Afghanistan” Unmissable interview with Hamid Gul

With British troops pulling out of Sangin, listen to an excellent summation of the situation in Afghanistan with Hamid Gul, retired Pakistani General and former Director General of Pakistan’s Inter Services Intelligence, on why America and the UK can never win in Afghanistan.

Click through on the image above to listen.

Perhaps our politicians would be better suited to listening to what their former ally Hamid Gul is saying, after all he has a better understanding of the Afghan people and it’s military history then our war planners do.

It seems that Hamid Gul agrees with everything that The Akh has to say on Afghanistan.

“Self hating” Jew Woody Allen backs New York Islamic Centre, on Yom Kippur no less!

Even Woody Allen has backed building the proposed Islamic centre in Manhattan, he’ll be labelled a self hating Jew, obviously as he goes against the Republican/Neo-Con/Zionist nexus.

“If I could speak to people that lost relatives and loved ones, I would try and convince them, if I could, that to build the mosque goes a way towards seeing that this kind of thing doesn’t happen again. To intolerantly not build the mosque is just polarising and leads to the kind of problems that rake up this type of conflict.”

Racist Islamophobes exploiting the situation for their own nefarious political ends.

Well said Woody.

Corporate Media’s Misrepresentation of Mosques

Why do most people associate a masajid with those who committed the acts of 9/11? After all that’s the narrative the quasi-racist republicans and tea baggers have been using to whip up the anti-Islam frenzy.

A major reasoning is due to media presentation, or should that be misrepresentation.

Whenever a terrorist incident occurs, the media invariably show a masajid and its worshippers, who have absolutely nothing to do with any of the acts perpetrated. Don’t believe me? well keep this in mind when any negative story on Islam/Muslims breaks, I’m sure you won’t have to hang around for long.

Yet the constant image of the masajid becomes established in the viewers mind simply by association, negative connotations, simply adding fuel to the fire.

Our American counterparts have always had a lynch mob mentality, much like the rooting tooting cowboy of old – they hang the first suspect they get their mitts on.

Their are no acts of conniving evil planned in any masajid, hell, you barely have to whisper the word “Jihad” and you’re accosted by “the management” and told to leave, yeah, no politics in the mosque, I understand uncle…but aren’t you a local councillor? and wasn’t that our MP who was chowing down on a samosa with you when you invited him to the masajid?

Hypocrisy and double standards know no bounds with our people.

Our masajids are not only places of worship where people are exhorted to do good, but when used correctly they benefit the entire society.

Unfortunately the masses swallow what the corporate media dictates to them, without having the capacity to reason for themselves, like sheep following one another.

Political party launches kill Muslims & blow up Mosques video game

A far-right party in Austria has sparked outrage by launching an online video game which allows players to shoot down minarets and muezzins calling for prayer. The game, called “Moschee Baba”, or “Bye Bye Mosque”, gives players 60 seconds to collect points by placing a target over cartoon mosques, minarets and Muslims and click a “Stop” sign.

A couple of weeks ago I asked if it’s wrong to play as the taliban in a video game you’ll remember Dr Fox going berserk over the game’s content.

Now the country that gave us Hitler is at it, oh and it’s not a game developer that’s behind it, but a leading political party.

It is being used by the Freedom Party (FPOe), which has a link to the game on its website, to encourage voters to elect Gerhard Kurzmann, the party’s candidate in the picturesque region of Styria.

“Game Over. Styria is now full of minarets and mosques!” it says at the end of a session, before inviting players to vote for Kurzmann on September 26, when local elections are being held.

The website then invites viewers to take part in a survey which asks them whether the construction of minarets and mosques should be banned in Austria, and whether Muslims should sign a declaration in which they accept that the law takes precedence over the Quran.

According to the Austria Press Agency there are no mosques with minarets in Styria, where 1.6 per cent of the population is Muslim, and only four such buildings in the entire country.

‘Religious hatred’

Anas Schakfeh, the leader of Austria’s Islamic community, has described the game as “tasteless and incomprehensible”.

“This is religious hatred and xenophobia beyond comparison,” he told Austrian broadcaster ORF.

Austria’s Social Democrats and Green Party have joined the Islamic community in condemning the video.

“The FPOe is targeting minarets that don’t even exist,” Werner Kogler, the Green candidate in Styria, said.

The game also appears to have divided the FPOe camp, with its deputy, Manfred Haimbuchner, quoted as saying the party should “seek attention with substance, not with constant provocations”.

However Herbert Kickl, the party secretary, defended the game saying it did not involve any real shooting, but rather “the pushing of a stop-button to halt a bad political decision.”

European debate

The Islamic community and the Green party filed complaints for incitement of hatred and degrading of a religion on Wednesday, which can be punished with prison sentences of up to two years.

Prosecutors in Graz, the capital of Styria, have launched an inquiry and will decide whether to take the game off the Internet.

Islamic buildings and dress have sparked debates in many European countries recently, with French and Belgian MPs voting to outlaw the niqab, and Swiss voters backing a ban on building minarets.

Austria’s Freedom Party wants a special vote on banning mosques with minarets and Islamic face veils.

Heinz-Christian Strache, its leader, has said he wants to see anti-Muslim protests similar to those in New York over the building of a Muslim cultural centre near the World Trade Center site.

The debate isn’t just coming from the right. In Germany central banker Thilo Sarrazin, a Social Democrat, has provoked uproar for saying that Muslim immigrants undermine German society, refuse to assimilate, and sponge off the state. He has also said “all Jews share a particular gene” angering people across the German community.

The Freedom Party said its “Bye bye Mosque” game was in part in reaction to Sarrazin’s comments saying they would prefer to have “Sarrazin rather than muezzin,” in Austria. Freedom wants to “deal with a situation which has already long been widespread in Europe,” Kurzmann said. He said young people needed to be informed about the problem.

With its catchy slogans and youthful leader, the Freedom Party enjoys strong support from young people in Austria, polling 17.5 percent of the vote at a national level in 2008.

Leading Israeli rabbi & politician states “ALL Palestinians should die”

Influential Israeli rabbi Ovadia Yosef has said God should strike the Palestinians and their leader with a plague, calling for their death in a fiery sermon before Middle East peace talks set to begin next week.

“Abu Mazen and all these evil people should perish from this earth,” Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, spiritual head of the religious Shas party in Israel’s government, said in a sermon late Saturday, using Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas’s popular name.

“God should strike them and these Palestinians — evil haters of Israel — with a plague,” the 89-year-old rabbi said in his weekly address to the faithful, excerpts of which were broadcast on Israeli radio Sunday.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu distanced himself from the comments and said Israel wanted to reach a peace deal with the Palestinians that would ensure good neighbourly relations.

The United States said Yosef’s comments were “inflammatory” and an impediment to peace efforts.

“As we move forward to relaunch peace negotiations, it is important that actions by people on all sides help to advance our effort, not hinder it,” State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley said in a statement.

President Barack Obama’s administration is hosting Israeli and Palestinian leaders in Washington this week to try to restart direct Mideast peace negotiations after a nearly two-year hiatus.

He has made similarly offensive comments before: He has referred to Arabs as “vipers,” and in a 2001 sermon during the Jewish holiday of Passover, he called for Israel to “annihilate” Arabs.

“It is forbidden to be merciful to them. You must send missiles to them and annihilate them,” he said. “They are evil and damnable.”

Yosef’s provocations are not limited to Arabs, either: In 2005, he blamed Hurricane Katrina on the “godlessness” of New Orleans, and on former US president George Bush’s support for Israel’s disengagement from Gaza. And last year, he criticised women who pray at the Western Wall as “stupid”.

Saeb Erekat, the chief Palestinian negotiator, said Yosef’s latest comments were tantamount to calling for “genocide against Palestinians.” The rabbi’s remarks, he said, were “an insult to all our efforts to advance the negotiations process.”

Israeli’s have to do more for peace and stop spreading hatred.

Srebrenica – Never Forget July 1995

After the genocidal atrocities committed against the Jews in World War Two, the world collectively said “never again”, so why less than 50 years later were concentration camps allowed to exist to exterminate tens of thousands of Muslims in Europe?

Some 60,000 people attended the 15th anniversary of the Srebrenica genocide, scene of the worst atrocities committed in Europe since the second world war. Muslim Bosniaks prayed near the coffins of 775 newly identified Srebrenica victims during a mass funeral at the Srebrenica Genocide Memorial in Potocari on July 11, 2010.

Fifteen years ago, more than 8,000 Bosniak men and boys were killed, some 30,000 Bosnian Muslims forcibly expelled while countless women and girls were brutally raped.

The victims were shot and dumped in mass graves, then reburied haphazardly in more than 80 mass graves in a bid to cover up the evidence.

So far, the International Commission on Missing Persons (ICMP) identified 6,481 victims of the July 1995 genocide through DNA identification. Serbian President Boris Tadic, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, and French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner, and President Obama’s delegation led by U.S. Ambassador Charaler L. Engleish were among the dignitaries attending the event.

U.S. President Barack Obama opined that “governments redouble their efforts and arrest those responsible for the massacre”.

Three years before the genocide, Serbian forces destroyed hundreds of Bosnian Muslim villages around Srebrenica and committed horrendous massacres against Muslim Bosniak civilians.

Serbs never demilitarised around Srebrenica, despite being required to do so under the 1993 United Nations Security Council Resolution 819. Whilst the Muslim population defending themselves were made to disarm.

In July 1995, Serbian forces perpetrated genocide: 30,000 Muslim Bosniaks were forcibly expelled and 8,100 summarily executed.

As much as blaming the Serbs, the Dutch forces that were protecting Srebrenica have to shoulder their share of the blame. General John Sheehan, a retired marine corps officer who was Nato’s supreme commander at the time of the 1995 atrocity stated:

“The case in point that I’m referring to is when the Dutch were required to defend Srebrenica against the Serbs. The battalion was under-strength, poorly led, and the Serbs came into town, handcuffed the soldiers to the telephone poles, marched the Muslims off, and executed them. That was the largest massacre in Europe since world war two.”

The genocide which took place at Srebrenica is not a matter of anybody’s opinion; it’s a judicial fact. One recognised first by the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia and subsequently by the International Court of Justice.

“By seeking to eliminate a part of the Bosnian Muslims, the Bosnian Serb forces committed genocide. They targeted for extinction the 40,000 Bosnian Muslims living in Srebrenica, a group which was emblematic of the Bosnian Muslims in general…. The Appeals Chamber states unequivocally that the law condemns, in appropriate terms, the deep and lasting injury inflicted, and calls the massacre at Srebrenica by its proper name: genocide. Those responsible will bear this stigma, and it will serve as a warning to those who may in future contemplate the commission of such a heinous act.”

Presiding ICTY Judge Theodor Meron

Do not forget the events that took place in July 1995.

“Serbs Carved Cross Into My Chest” – Muslim Death Camp Surviviors Testimony

A MUSLIM witness in a war crimes trial pulled opened his shirt in court to prove Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic wrong.

Ahmet Zulic told the court he was arrested and thrown in prison as part of a Serb clampdown on his village, in northwestern Bosnia, in June 1992.

He said that he was still haunted by nightmares of fellow Muslim prisoners dying beside him.

Mr Karadzic, who is defending himself against charges of genocide, accused Mr Zulic of lying, upon which Mr Zulic pulled open his shirt and pointed to his chest.

“Right here I have a cross carved in my skin. You can see the cross carved on my chest,” he said.

Mr Karadzic’s trial at the Hague had resumed today after a six-week delay.

Mr Zulic, 62, told the court he was held by Serb forces at two detention camps for five months, during which time he said he was severely beaten, starved and forced to witness the executions of fellow detainees.

He lost 35kg in weight.

Answering Mr Karadzic with his eyes downcast, Mr Zulic told the court he had suffered permanent disabilities from having had seven vertebrae damaged, all his ribs fractured and a finger broken during the abuse.

He also has false teeth, having had his own knocked out when Serb soldiers put a gun in his mouth at a prisoner execution scene.

“I have nightmares very often,” the witness told the court.

“I very frequently dream of people who were killed beside me or were dying beside me. I had one last night.”

Mr Karadzic, 64, faces 11 counts of war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide charges arising from Bosnia’s 1992-95 war in which 100,000 people were killed and 2.2 million left homeless.

He is charged as the supreme commander of a campaign of ethnic cleansing of Bosnian Muslims and Croats.

The prosecution’s second witness, Sulejman Crncalo, wept as he told the court that his wife was killed in the shelling of the Markale market in Sarajevo in August 1995.

Searching for his wife, Crncalo stumbled upon the scene of the bombardment.

“There was blood al over the place, flowing in the streets, bits of human flesh scattered around, bits of clothing torn and scattered all over,” he told the judges, occasionally wiping his eyes with a handkerchief.

A fence around the market, he said, “looked like it was painted red from the blood.”

He later found his wife’s body at a local morgue. “There was a woman lying next to my wife and her arm was thrown across my wife’s body. I just cried.”

Crncalo also testified that he was present when Karadzic made a speech in Pale, southeast of Sarajevo, in June 1992.

“Those were terrible words to our ears. He was saying to those present that every Muslim house had to be attacked because that’s the way to defend Serb houses.”

Karadzic started his cross-examination by telling the witness: “I would like to express my condolences for your loss”.
