British soldiers are engaged in “a surreal mini civil war” with growing numbers of homegrown jihadists who have travelled to Afghanistan to support the Taliban, senior army officers have told The Independent.
Interceptions of Taliban communications have shown that British jihadists – some “speaking with West Midlands accents” – are active in Helmand and other parts of southern Afghanistan, according to briefing papers prepared by an official security agency.
Estimate: MI5 has estimated that up to 4,000 British Muslims had travelled to Pakistan and, before the fall of the Taliban, to Afghanistan for military training. The main concern until now has been about the parts some of them had played in terrorist plots in the UK. Now there are signs that they are mounting missions against British and Western targets abroad. “We are now involved in a kind of surreal mini-British civil war a few thousand miles away,” said an army officer.
Somalia is also becoming a destination for British Muslims of Somali extraction who have started fighting alongside Al Qaeda-backed forces.

[N]o sooner had the unsuspecting baroness sent out her invitations, Lord Ahmed raised hell. It is reported that he ‘threatened to mobilise 10,000 Muslims to prevent Mr Wilders from entering the House and threatened to take the colleague who was organising the event to court’.
And so Fitna has been cancelled: it shall not now be screened in the House of Lords on 29th January.
The Pakistani Press is jubliant, and Lord Ahmed is praising Allah for delivering ‘a victory for the Muslim community’.
It is a sorry state of affairs indeed that a parliament whose liberties have been forged through centuries of religious intolerance should succumb to the threats of one intolerant Muslim. Lord Ahmed is manifesting a notion of Divine Right, and one suspects it is precisely the sort of defence of Islam that Prince Charles shall make when he is sworn ‘Defender of Faith’. The blasphemy laws are being re-forged to protect one god, one faith and one prophet; they no longer defend YHWH, Christianity, Jesus Christ or the Church of England. Lord Ahmed is not functioning as a Labour peer; he is the self-appointed khalifa of all things Islamic. He is not concerned to protect freedom of expression or freedom of speech, but to stifle debate and ensure that Parliament submits to the Dar Al-Islam.
It is for moments such as these that one might hope the Lords Spiritual might enter the fray and defend the right of the noble baroness to extend an invitation to a democratically-elected Dutch MP. Their silence is deafening. They no longer believe anything strongly for fear of causing offence; they no longer defend anything for fear of being abolished.

According to Buksh, the whispers and sideways glances at his boys not being Sunni turned to open hostility during the early stages of their second game of the tournament.
Both sons were attacked by the opposing players. One son took a stick to the head while another one took a stick to the mouth that broke one of his teeth.
“Before you know it, it was just a massive riot,” said Buksh. “I went in there as a father and tried to help.”
In addition to the opposing players attacking his sons, Buksh said spectators, some as old as 40, were also involved in the attack that left his boys bruised and battered.

More than 500 supporters of Israel were met by 50 pro-Palestinian protesters during coinciding rallies in Winnipeg on Thursday night. […]
“I’m not even Arab, I’m Italian, but when you open the TV and you go on Al-Jazeera news and you see the killing they don’t show on the public TV, you cry,” said Majeeda Harb, who attended the outdoor rally.

Commentors note that a Majeeda Harb popped up at a Winnipeg “Israel Must Cease To Exist For Peace” rally in 2006, organized by the Peace Alliance of Winnipeg and the Canadian Arab Federation;

“The only people I’m angry at are the Israeli government,” said Majeeda Harb, who fled Lebanon with her husband and six children a week ago on a Canadian-sponsored evacuation ship. “It was hard for my children,” she said.

So they can’t possibly be the same person.
Mississauga Matt has the comment of the week, and it’s only Tuesday –

That’s jihadi.

Two weeks ago, the country’s biggest left-wing political grouping, the Labor Party, which has responsibility for integration as a member of the coalition government led by the Christian Democrats, issued a position paper calling for the end of the failed model of Dutch “tolerance.”
It came at the same time Nicolas Sarkozy was making a case in France for greater opportunities for minorities that also contained an admission that the French notion of equality “doesn’t work anymore.”
But there was a difference. If judged on the standard scale of caution in dealing with cultural clashes and Muslims’ obligations to their new homes in Europe, the language of the Dutch position paper and Lilianne Ploumen, Labor’s chairperson, was exceptional.
