Anti-Israel Mob Harasses Israeli Food Vendors at Paris Trade Fair

"Slut" or "Patriot"?

Both?:

An Czech woman has been posthumously honoured for gaining revenge on Nazis by sleeping with soldiers to infect them with sexually transmitted diseases.
After a campaign by retired lawyer Karel Friml, who lives in the woman's former home, she has been commemorated with honorary plaque which was placed on the outside of her house. 

The memorial is dedicated to a "Trebon girl who had a special form of resistance against the German occupiers, and paid with her life." 

Nazi soldiers raped the unnamed nurse after invading the central Czech town of Trebon in 1938, infecting her with an STI, but she retaliated after being ordered to care for injured German soldiers. 

The Gestapo eventually found out what the woman was doing and executed her, but not before the town, which initially branded her a "whore", had acknowledged her bravery.
Mr Friml, 79, called her "a hero", saying that he was "really sorry that she died anonymously". 

He went on to say: "This was her resistance and vengeance for the rape of her country and her personal rape. She had many German lovers, maybe six, maybe ten, maybe more. People say that all disappeared after the affair with her." 

However, Trebon Museum curator and author Jirina Psikova said that opinion was still divided among townspeople. She said: "Some say she was a slut… others say she was a real patriot."

"Grotesque"

That's the mot juste Robert Spencer employs to describe the police practice of sucking up to local Muslims whenever there's an incident of jihad:

Speaking of mental illness, in the wake of the Ottawa shootings, the police chiefs of Toronto and Ottawa wrote to local Muslim leaders, assuring them of their good will and urging Muslims to contact them in case of a “backlash.” These politically correct police chiefs seem to have imbibed the lesson well: after every jihad attack, Muslims are the victims, and need special reassurances. Of course, there should be no “backlash” against any innocent people and almost certainly won’t be, but this endless pandering is grotesque. Who is reassuring non-Muslims about keeping them safe from jihad attacks? Who is calling upon Muslim leaders in Canada or anywhere else to back up their condemnations of jihad terror with real action against it, including programs to teach young Muslims to reject that understanding of Islam?

You can hardly blame Muslim leaders for their backlashophobia when the cops suffer from an even worse case of the baseless fear.

You Knew It Was Coming

Canadian Muslim groups fear a backlash in the wake of the Ottawa terror attack.

Hmmm. An unfounded fear that rarely if ever materializes. Dare one call it "backlashophobia"?

McGill U Poli-Sci Prof Sees "Multiculturalism" as Salvation for "Radicalization"

McGill prof Rex Brynen says "Jihadism is a high-profile brand" that appeals "to certain people who are angry with the world." And he thinks he knows the best way to fight it:

Brynen said intercultural dialogue is key to fighting radicalization because groups that feel included and valued are more likely to report deviant behaviour to the authorities. 

“Multiculturalism has been very, very helpful in reducing the risk of terrorism,” he said.

Thing is, it has also helped stoke it by engendering ghettoized communities from problematic places (like, say, Pakistan and Iran). Not that the professor seems terribly worried about any of that:

He added that while radicalization is cause for concern, the issue should not be overblown, noting that the risks of being run over for jaywalking or being hit by lightening are far greater than the likelihood of being a victim of homegrown terrorism.

True enough, but as yesterday's events in Ottawa show, one lone jihadi can tie up and terrorize an entire city--one that, by, no co-incidence, happens to be Canada's capital. But for the lightening-quick reflexes and judgment of Kevin Vickers, Parliament's Sergeant-at-Arms, the "issue" would have been far from overblown. It would have quickly escalated into a bloodbath on an epic scale.

Update: Bryden may have an excuse for downplaying the threat of "radicalization"--he made the above statements before yesterday's events in Ottawa had taken place. The same can't be said for the NatPo's Jonathan Kay, who "tweeted" this post-attack:

Please get a grip, folks. This is not "war." It's one Islamist-inspired lunatic killing one guy and then getting killed in a famous building

Only one Islamist. Whose Dad is off waging jihad in Libya. Who killed a Canadian soldier standing on guard at Canada's National War Memorial (two days after another Canadian soldier was killed and another injured by a jihadi). Who then could have unleashed a bloodbath on Canadian lawmakers in Canada's seat of government.

Yeah, that's just sooooo ho hum--so un-symbolic--that it could almost make one nod off due to a killer combo of sang-froid, boredom and terminal ennui.

Swiss Supermarket Aplogizes for "Unforgivable Blunder" of Putting Photos of Hitler and Mussolini on Coffee Cream Containers

'Twas a "mistake," a failure of quality control, claims the company, and should not be construed as, you know, an endorsement of fascist dictators:

GENEVA –  A leading Swiss supermarket chain is apologizing for what it calls an "unforgivable blunder": distributing mini-containers of coffee cream bearing portraits of Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini. 

Migros, which also sells electronics and household goods, says it is immediately withdrawing boxes containing hundreds of the coffee cream containers and is breaking all ties with Karo-Versand, the small Swiss company that designed the collectible series of 55 different motifs — including likenesses of the German and Italian fascist dictators.

 

In a statement Wednesday, Migros described the incident as an internal failure and vowed to "tighten our controls for these products drastically" to ensure no more such mistakes. 

It says Migros subsidiary Elsa-Mifroma never should have delivered the boxes with the items to restaurants and cafes.

No kidding.


Hitler on Migros coffee cream containers?
Oopsy!

Michael Z-B: Jihadi, Son of a Jihadi?

He's being called "a recent convert" to Islam, but it seems that, "pre-conversion,  jihad wasn't exactly a foreign concept to him:

Zehaf-Bibeau grew up in Ottawa and Montreal, and had spent time in Libya before moving to Western Canada to become a miner and laborer, said [his friend, Dave] Bathurst, who met the gunman in a Vancouver-area mosque about three years ago. 

Bathurst said Zehaf-Bibeau told him six weeks ago at a British Columbia mosque that he wanted to go to Libya to study Islam and Arabic. But reports from Canada say  Zehaf-Bibeau was blocked from traveling by government officials who have been monitoring extremists to prevent them from joining the Islamic State. 

Had Zehaf-Bibeau taken his apparent jihad plans abroad, he would have been following in the footsteps of his father, believed to be Belgasem Zahef, who was quoted by the Washington Times in 2011, speaking from the Libya, where he had travelled to join the rebellion against Col. Moammar Qaddafi.

The "rebellion": That would be the one conducted by the jihadis.

Like father, like son, no?

Update: Z-B's mother, Susan Bibeau, is "the deputy chairperson of a division of Canada’s Immigration and Refugee Board."

You know, the body that lets lots and lots of refugees from Islamic lands into the country?

I wonder if that's how Belgasem Zahef--she divorced him in 1999--got in.

Commenting on the Bibeau-Zahef union, Daniel Greenfield writes:

The irony of that marriage is obvious. And its product is the story of the death of the West.

Update: Blogger Sweetness & Light speculates that Belgasem could have been one of the jihadis who attacked the American consulate in Benghazi.

Oddly Enough, Some Criminally-Minded Losers Find Islam's Severe Punishments Extremely Appealing

According to reports, Michael Zehaf-Bibeau, the dead Ottawa gunmen and a recent "revert" to Islam, had his innings with the criminal justice system. On the IVP site you can read about another (alleged) criminal, also jihadi, and this info affords us a window into the disturbed and disturbing way such blokes think:

Meanwhile, a Seattle man, Ali Muhammad Brown, repeatedly invoked his Muslim faith while being interrogated by detectives in connection with four murders from Washington to New Jersey. Each victim was shot repeatedly. 

"My life is based on living in the cause of Allah," Brown said. "Living in the cause of Allah. To live for Allah, to die for Allah." 

While some details of that interrogation have been described in court papers, the Investigative Project on Terrorism obtained a copy of the full one hour and 44 minute conversation. 

Brown expressed disdain for gay people – two of his victims are believed to have been gay – describing homosexuality as "completely against nature" but stating the government allows "this evil to fester." 

He repeatedly invoked the idea that an Islamic Caliphate, or Islamic rule, is the only way to restore order to American society. Brown also is suspected in armed robberies in New Jersey. He told detectives he thought about leaving America to "go to the land where God the almighty, Allah, is established and implemented." 

Muslims, Brown said, cannot practice their religion in America, "because jihad is a part of our religion." 

But Islamic law, governed by a Caliphate, can cure America of its social ills, he said, citing brutal punishment for those caught breaking the law. Prison doesn't work. In Islam, however, "you cut the hand in public for everyone to see. You alleviate all your thieves right there ... You behead someone right there in public, in the streets? You alleviate all the problems like that."

Hey, if you want to, ahem, alleviate problems, you gotta shed a little--or quite a lot of--blood, right?

No joke: what do you call a first-time thief in the Caliphate? Answer: Lefty.

The Entity Formerly Known as CAIR-CAN Condemns Yestday's Attack in Ottawa While Touting Its Own Joke of an Anti-Radicalization Handbook

In a statement condemning yesterday's feat of jihad (my description), the one that resulted in yet another Canadian soldier being murdered on home soil and that could have (but thankfully didn't) seen a bloodbath unleashed on Parliament Hill, NCCM Executive Director Ihsaan Gardee made a point of mentioning that handbook:

More recently, the Islamic Social Services Association, in conjunction with the NCCM, launched the handbook United Against Terrorism which is designed to give communities information and tools to counter radicalization towards violent extremism and build civic engagement.

As if anything in that document, which itself incorporates a radical perspective and engages in egregious jihad-denial, can help prevent incidents of jihad from erupting here in Canada.

It's all Islamist smoke and mirrors, my friends, designed to gull us and lull us into a false sense of security about what's really in the Koran and how it's inspiring today's jihad freaks.

If True, This One Takes the Cake

Could it be true that at the time shots were ringing out in Ottawa, the RCMP and local cops were taking a class in "multiculturalism and outreach"?

Dead Ottawa Gunman Identified

He's Michael Zehaf-Bibeau.

Supposedly, there's "no known motivation at this time," but since the dead guy is said to look like this

 

I don't think it would be out of line to assume that he's someone connected to the jihad. FYI, this photo was tweeted by none other than IS, the Islamic State.

Update: He's reportedly "of Algerian descent."
