Islamists Want Global Caliphate

Ismail Al-Wahwah, spokesman for Hizb ut-Tahrir in Australia, predicts the establishment of a global Islamic caliphate, with Sharia laws enforced around the world and Arabic taught in every school, other “foreign” languages allowed only in universities.

Founded in 1953, Hizb ut-Tahrir is a Sunni, pan-Islamic political party with chapters in some 40 countries. The group argues against democracy, and believes non-Muslims should be treated as second-class citizens, unable to hold office or to vote. In the West, Hizb ut-Tahrir is particularly active in Great Britain, with a growing presence in North America. H/T MEMRI TV

French Rally Behind Free Speech

The French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo — which is already famous internationally for publishing cartoons of the Muslim prophet Mohammed — has declared its intention to publish an educational comic book biography of the life of Islam’s founder. The announcement is the latest satirical shot fired in an ongoing international battle over the boundaries of free speech. It’s a battle being fought between Islamic fundamentalists and liberal Western societies.

Islamists Target Vaccine Makers

Polio remains endemic in only three nations around the world — Afghanistan, Nigeria and Pakistan. But efforts to eradicate the disease in Pakistan have hit a brick wall, as radical Islamists have begun to systematically assassinate vaccine makers. Apparently, the Taliban-aligned killers believe that the vaccine makers from the United Nations are part of a front engaged in espionage operations.

French Reject Sharia

French citizens march to support their values and culture, and to protest against radical Islamists migrating into the country, establishing separatist communities following Sharia law. The French media blacked out coverage of the march, which occurred this past Monday in Paris.

Author Renaud Camus, who helped to organize the event, has been outspoken in his criticism of the media for refusing to address the shortcomings of multiculturalism in France. Asked why the media angers him, Camus (no relation to Albert) replied, “Because they impose (almost) unanimously a system of interpreting the world that is a formidable machine for not seeing, not saying, not understanding…. Supported by threats, it serves to dissimulate what is happening: that is to say the changing of people, the Great Replacement, the reverse colonization.” H/T The Astute Bloggers

Afghan Actress Now In Hiding

Sahar Parniyan, 22, is Afghanistan’s most famous actress. She stars in the country’s number one comedy, “The Ministry,” patterned after the popular American TV show “The Office.” But because she’s perceived as a voice for women’s rights, Parniyan has begun receiving death threats. The threats snowballed after the murder of one of Parniyan’s colleagues, the 22-year-old actress Benafsha, who was accused of playing parts that were against Islamic values and morals.

Parniyan was told she would be next. Now, she is in hiding — her fame providing no protection from the extremists who mean to harm her. NBC’s Atia Abawi reports. H/T Bare Naked Islam

Moe Moe Moe Moe Moan-nuh!

A ballad to the tune of The Kinks’ “Lola,” satirizing MSNBC commentator Mona Eltahawy’s decision to deface anti-jihadist ad posters placed in the New York subway system by Pamela Geller. Eltahawy apparently objected to the characterization of jihadists as “savages” so she embraced a curious position for a reputed journalist, that of attempting to deny the free speech rights of a political opponent. Then again, she’s affiliated with MSNBC, so her credentials as a journalist are as suspect as any of that network’s moonbat crew. Sample lyrics in this parody:

“Well I left mosque just a week before
And I’d never ever waged a jihad before
But Mona smiled and took me by the hand
And said dear boy I’m gonna make you Sharia man.”
