Peace In Our Time
‘Geneva talks a facade, US-Iran worked secretly on deal for past year’
The report, which relied on unnamed senior Israeli officials, said the US team to the secret talks was led by Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett. Her primary interlocutor, the report said, was the head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, Ali Akbar Salehi. The talks have been taking place in various Gulf states.
In the course of the talks, the report said, the Americans offered the Iranians a series of “confidence-building measures,” which underlined American readiness to conclude a deal and undercut sanctions pressure.

Wrong on both counts. We have two laws.

Not A Muslim
NOOoonononono… Washington’s decision to withhold millions of dollars in mostly military aid to Egypt is fueling anti-U.S. sentiment and the perception that Washington supports Mohammed Morsi, the Islamist president the military ousted in a July coup.
Not A Muslim
NOOoonononono… “… say hello again to two of the most appallingly over-promoted and sinister figures involved with the current U.S. government: Mohamed Elibiary and Dalia Mogahed.”

Beware Persian Leaders With Masks
Barack Obama and Iranian President Hassan Rouhani spoke on the phone for a couple of minutes on Friday, and NBC News breathlessly reported that this was “the first time leaders from the U.S. and Iran have directly communicated since the 1979 Iranian revolution.”
That’s not exactly true. Hassan Rouhani is not Iran’s leader.

Massacre in Kenya: ‘All Muslims leave… we only want to kill non-Muslims’
Small World
The Washington Free Beacon reports that a senior Muslim Brotherhood official who, until fairly recently, was employed by the William J. Clinton Foundation, was arrested in Cairo on Tuesday and charged with inciting violence.
[…]
How did the Clinton Foundation come to select El-Haddad to be its man in Cairo? We can only speculate. But we know that Huma Abedin (wife of Anthony Weiner) is one of Hillary Clinton’s most trusted advisers. We also know that both of Abedin’s parents have been major figures in the Muslim Brotherhood. The same is true of El-Hassad’s father — a top foreign policy adviser for ousted president Morsi, according to the Free Beacon.
It’s a small world, about which Andy McCarthy has more to say.”

Air Canada says it is capable of checking identification in a private room away from the check-in counter, but said the real responsibility for security measures lies with CATSA, the Canadian Air Transport Security Agency. Not so, says CATSA. Greg MacDougall, a spokesman for CATSA, tells QMI that their guards are primarily looking for metal, weapons or other banned material, not ensuring that veiled faces match passport photos.

Via email;
Today on John Gormley’s show, I heard that the University of Regina is adding foot baths to their washrooms and having a Muslim prayer room to “accommodate” their 800 Muslim students.
Via a grapevine, though it isn’t a secret apparently, a Muslim company has just won the contract to provide housekeeping and dietary services to Saskatoon District Health. The current 450 people so employed with the previous company lose their jobs and may apply to the new company.
The District will also add prayer rooms.
Rumour has it that there will be a mosque membership subsidy of $10.00/hr for the Muslim workers. If that is true, it would indicate the kind of Middle-East oil wealth buying influence as it has in Europe and Britain.
From following the goings on in Europe and Britain, my first question is how long before pork is no longer offered on the menus prepared by this group?
If they deliver home care services, what about going into homes that have pet dogs? I’m not sure what the contract covers in full.
Or maybe, for a time they’ll have some kuffar workers who’ll do that.
I could see how this would facilitate a claim of needing to import “workers” from abroad to fill some of the positions. a way around the new federal guidelines.
The M.B. may have a major setback in Egypt but their going like gangbusters here.
I thought things would be quiet until their new mosque is completed and they took over the new neighbourhood surrounding it. Evidently, I was mistaken.
As you may be aware there are two large mosques planned for Saskatoon. One is the Amahdi, who are peaceable, modern to some degree, and persecuted badly in the M.E. and Pakistan. The others hide behind them to deflect away from discussion about issues.
The other mosque is, I believe a M.B. affiliate. I noticed their web page is scrubbed very clean, hard to tell, but they do mandate that grade 7-8 girls wear the Saudi abaya. To me that is a give away clue.
Canada may be 10-15 yrs. behind Europe and the U.K. but we’re catching up fast.
Since the present government in Regina seems complacent in allowing aboriginal children to taken over by totally some incompetent tribal run Child Services, (Amnesty International could do a press release on the torture of that recent case), so I doubt they’ll deal with this issue in Education or Health or anywhere controlled by the politically correct bureaucracy.
If they won’t safeguard aboriginal children’s lives and health due to the risk of being called “racist”, I doubt if there is much they would stand up for.
Just sharing some observations.
I can’t verify if any or all of these observations/rumours have merit. The comments are open for feedback, corrections, clarification, whathaveyou.
