Islamists are known for living on the Western dole, especially in Britain, a scandal examined in a 2011 IW article by Kathy Shaidle. Recipients of UK benefits have included the bomb plotters of July 21, 2005, hate preacher Abu Hamza, and Abu Qatada, dubbed "Osama bin Laden's ambassador in Europe." (Unable to deport Abu... |
Left: Anjem Choudary was recorded saying that Western leaders deserve to be killed and that freedom must be rejected. "We are going to take England," he boasted. "The Muslims are coming." Right: Mohammed Alharbi and his kids passed out pro-Islam material in a U.S. public school, but "not a single staffer or a teacher e... |
Officials are investigating a bizarre incident at Terre Haute's Dixie Bee Elementary on February 8 in which Mohammed Alharbi and his three daughters, all students there, distributed religious messages while school was in session. Going room to room, they gave each instructor a flower and a card stating that "Mohammed i... |
Pro-Islam views have been creeping into secular U.S. classrooms, most often via slanted books, troubling guest speakers, and Islamist-run charter schools, even though any adult's participation in religious endorsement at a public institution is legally problematic. The ease with which Alharbi reportedly gained access t... |
The tragedy at Fort Hood did not conclude with the last bullet fired on November 5, 2009, by Nidal Malik Hasan, a Muslim U.S. Army major who killed 13 and whose radicalism had been repeatedly excused by superiors. An ABC News report highlights victims' statements that the Obama administration's labeling of the attack a... |
Survivors have filed suit and congressmen are bringing pressure to bear over the "workplace violence" designation. The Army contends that altering it would complicate the case against Hasan, but the legal proceedings are a circus already. Hasan's trial has been delayed for months due to his assertion of a religious rig... |
Left: ABC News has released previously unseen footage of the aftermath of the Fort Hood massacre. Right: A photo of a block in Acton, London, shows multiculturalism in bloom. |
"I feel like a stranger where I live." That is the title of longtime Londoner Jane Kelly's riveting essay about the "new identity" of her Acton neighborhood, now defined by halal fish-and-chip shops, veiled women, and unsolicited advice that she should cover up as well. "I feel that public spaces are becoming contested... |
Another memorable firsthand account of England's metamorphosis is a 2011 article by the anonymous wife of a priest. "I have been away for four years, living as an ethnic minority in a monocultural part of the world," she writes. "Yes, I am very glad to have left Britain's second city" β Birmingham. Her tale involves ve... |

"How can you compare a child who actively sought education to a woman who's trying to get rid of it?" |
On Sunday, the Belleville News-Democrat published this cartoon by Glenn McCoy. It appears to equate Betsy DeVos, Trump's controversial pick for secretary of education, with Ruby Bridges, the first black child to attend an all-white school in the South. |
It closely imitates "The Problem We All Live With," a Norman Rockwell painting depicting 6-year-old Ruby Bridges' historic walk into school. Ruby was escorted by US Marshals while an angry white mob jeered and threatened her. |
The cartoon comes days after protesters in Washington, DC, blocked DeVos from entering a public school while chanting, "Shame!" She eventually entered the building through another door. |
DeVos was widely criticized during her confirmation process, with many calling into question her advocacy for private schools over public ones, her extreme wealth and complicated web of investments, a history of opposition to LGBT rights, and her stances on Common Core, sexual assault prevention, student loans, and hig... |
Many people are straight-up disgusted by the cartoon. |
The Betsy Devos cartoon mocking Ruby Bridges is a reminder there are still 14 days left in White People Shitting on Black History Month. |
And plenty are pointing out the differences between the two people. |
The Betsy DeVos as Ruby Bridges image is a reminder that some women are always infantilized, while little black girls treated like adults. |
Ruby Bridges at 6 yrs old experienced racial ridicule. And is STILL living amongst us to see DeVos be compared to her. TRASH. |
EXHIBITS A-Z of a FALSE EQUIVALENCE HAVING BEEN MADE. |
DeVos "faces protest not prosecution," one person pointed out. |
Ruby Bridges' likeness/story is untouchable. DeVos is an agent of power who chose to hold this position. she faces protest not persecution. |
That is vastly different from Bridges, who at 6 years old had rotten eggs and tomatoes thrown at her by mobs while she walked into school, another said. |
In response, people are celebrating Bridges for all she went through in the fight for integration. |
Ruby Bridges is a bonafide black American goddamn hero. Shame on every one of you trying to co-opt what she did for Devos's benefit. |
McCoy declined to comment to Huffington Post. BuzzFeed News has reached out to McCoy. |
AROUND 100 UNISON union members and Socialist Alliance supporters joined a protest at Dacorum Borough Council in west Hertfordshire on Tuesday of last week. |
The council plans to privatise 200 jobs in the council core services, backed by Tory and Liberal councillors. Council workers in Hemel Hempstead are furious that their jobs will be privatised, as the council is refusing an in-house bid. The protesters were due to hold a lobby of the full council meeting on Wednesday of... |
A NEW Labour council has sacked a trade union activist whose only crime was to oppose cuts and privatisation. The council has also thrown down a gauntlet to Britain's biggest union by refusing to meet its leader to discuss the sacking. Telford & Wrekin council last week sacked Mike Jeffries, a Telford UNISON branch off... |
Mike was charged with "gross misconduct" for his role in a 250-strong council lobby last December. When protesters in the council chamber were to leave Mike called a vote-and people voted to stay. |
That was the pretext for Mike's sacking. He was accused of "failing to use your leadership" to clear the room of protesters. He was also charged with showing "an unacceptable lack of respect for the council, its leaders and the chief executive". |
UNISON general secretary Dave Prentis offered to come to Telford and meet with the council's leaders to try and resolve the situation. Yet the council leader has refused to even meet Prentis. "UNISON is the biggest union in the country and it needs to get fully behind the fight over my job," Mike Jeffries told Socialis... |
Fax messages of support to Telford UNISON on 01952 201 427, and letters of protest to the chief executive of Telford & Wrekin council on 01952 290 820. |
TWO KEY workplaces in Waltham Forest's education department were closed on Thursday of last week as workers from the TGWU, UNISON and NUT unions took strike action. They were fighting the council's plans to privatise the education authority. |
The strike was solid, and received support from parents and other workers across the borough. Around 30 people attended a forum in the afternoon against privatisation. One TGWU member called for the TUC leaders to launch a concerted defence of public sector services. |
Some 100 parents, teachers and council workers gave the councillors an angry reception at a lobby later that evening. Disgracefully, the Labour-led council voted to award the contract to the private company EduAction. |
EduAction is formed by Amey Construction and Nord Anglia. It already runs parts of education in Hackney and is bidding to take over three schools. However, there are plans to escalate industrial action, with the NUT calling for a ballot of all its members in the borough for strike action. |
"DON'T GIVE our chefs the sack. We want our canteens back!" That was the slogan on the steps of Southampton Civic Centre on Wednesday of last week as 100 strikers and their supporters lobbied a city council meeting. This was the second in a series of strikes against the closure of two staff canteens with the loss of 14... |
Staff are angry both at the loss of a workplace facility that many of them use, and at the Labour-led council's attack on a group of mostly low paid women workers. |
Up to now just over 100 staff have been involved in the strike action. But UNISON plans to ballot its entire city centre membership to escalate the action in September. |
HOSPITAL WORKERS in the UNISON union in Southampton protested outside local hospitals on Monday of last week over Labour's cost of living allowance. Some 2.5 percent has been added to the pay of qualified nurses and allied professions in some south coast towns. However, other staff have been denied this rise. |
Kevin Jenner, a porter, said, "This means that my partner gets the extra rise as she's a nurse, but although we share the bills, my cost of living must be lower than hers as I don't get the 2.5 percent." Porters, auxiliary nurses, technicians and clerical workers joined Monday's protests. |
They were followed up with a demonstration of up to 100 people through Winchester last Saturday. |
AN ANGRY group of 60 parents and supporters lobbied Hackney council in east London on Tuesday of last week to protest at the threat to two nurseries. Hackney councillors have voted to close the council-run Wetherell nursery. They also voted to close Oranges and Lemons, a community nursery. New Labour now has a majority... |
Two more council nurseries, St John's and Fernbank, could come under the axe in September. |
AT HAGGERSTON School a receptionist was made compulsorily redundant two weeks ago. The teachers, office staff, technicians and caretakers have united to save the job. |
They have twice refused to work until the head agreed to meet with them. They have also held daily morning demonstrations. Some 42 workers held a lobby of the governing body on Thursday of last week. Management have promised to restore the post. However, they have been playing for time to get to the end of term. |
The workers have resolved to continue their fight in September. |
The very fact that Israeli Prime Minister, Binyamin Netanyahu, brought the left leaning foe of the Jewish residents of Judea and Samaria, none other than Tzippi Livni, into his coalition as Justice Minister and now chief negotiator in the "peace" talks with the Arabs who call themselves Palestinians, is in itself a tac... |
Even more astounding is that Ms. Livni, of all people, is now responsible for negotiating "peace" with the cunning and corrupt PLO's Saeb Erakat. Indeed, the negotiations have always had one purpose and one purpose alone β to tear away yet more of the Jewish heartland in return for a delusional peace. |
That is treachery most base; treachery to the living Torah (the first five books of the Bible); treachery to Jewish history; treachery to Zion; and last but not least treachery to the eternal Holy Covenant made between God and the Jewish people. Liberals, leftists and secular folks may not like being told this, but it ... |
When did it become an accepted truism that a so-called peace between Israel and the predominately Muslim Arabs, those who call themselves Palestinians, requires that Israel give to them it's very biblical birthright for a mess of potage? Have the Oslo Accords, the Wye Agreement, the Roadmap, ad nauseum, all now superse... |
As one person named Rick from Houston wrote in a comment column regarding Livni: "Who IS this person who dares try to divide the land that the Almighty bequeathed to Abraham and his descendants through Isaac and Jacob? She wants to give your land to the descendants of Ishmael. She is inviting the wrath of the Lord to c... |
All this political foolishness was designed to appease successive U.S. Presidents. But the present occupant of the White House, President Obama, increasingly displays pro-Muslim policies which are a clear and present danger to the very existence of Eretz Yisrael, the Land of Israel and, may I suggest, to the very futur... |
The so-called Palestinian Authority is now encouraged by Kerry and Obama to harden its demands to insufferable and arrogant levels that require Israel to essentially commit national suicide. Only in the last few days, Abbas has again told Kerry that the "Palestinian Arabs" will never accept Israel as a Jewish state. Pe... |
Kerry spewed his own poison by stating, as he stood shoulder to shoulder with the Holocaust denying Mahmoud Abbas, that Israeli "settlements" are illegal. The PA and the PLO hearing this now sense that the time is right to instigate another period of criminal violence and murder against Israelis and so the Jewish death... |
Indeed, there should instead be demands made upon the artificial Arab entity known as the Kingdom of Jordan (which sits upon four fifths of the geographical territory which was known as the Palestine Mandate) for the return of biblical Gilead β in north west Jordan β which is the ancestral home of the Biblical Jewish t... |
Prime Minister Netanyahu's government and previous governments stretching back to those of Yitzhak Rabin and Shimon Peres, have all betrayed Jewish patrimony in the Land of Israel. |
They have tragically conceded to the Arabs the blatant lie that Israel "occupies" Arab territory β specifically territory claimed by a fraudulent Arab people who have come to call themselves Palestinians. This absurdity has given birth to a grievous, self-inflicted wound which afflicts Jews within Israel and the Diaspo... |
Jewish communities, (villages and towns) do not consist of "settlers." The Jewish population of Judea and Samaria (the so-called West Bank) consists of the descendants of the native and indigenous Jewish people who are now inhabiting and redeeming their own ancient land. This people are not "settlers" in what is alread... |
Notice that Judea and Samaria have not been annexed. Jerusalem and the Golan were annexed. The time to restore Judea and Samaria to all of Israel is well overdue. These lands are the very warp and woof, the very fabric and fiber of Jewish history, both during and after biblical times. |
"In accepting UNSC Res 242, Israel also accepted "recognized and secure borders" rather than rejecting such resolution and such borders and demanding our right to all of Judea and Samaria. Nothing has changed since then. Even now, as Israel negotiates a final settlement, she doesn't start by demanding all the land and ... |
"There is only one reason that Netanyahu is not stressing Israel's legal rights and that is because he is intending to abandon them. He would not have entered these negotiations if he wasn't so inclined. While he rejected the framework of '67 lines plus swaps as the basis of negotiations, he is free to accept such a fr... |
Here, sadly, more credence is given as to why the prime minister places Tzippi Livni as his chief negotiator with Saeb Erakat, even though she is yearning to abandon Jewish patrimony and sell out the Jewish pioneers in the ancestral heartland. |
In 2003, Professor Talia Einhorn wrote about Judea, Samaria and Gaza, or as it is known by its Hebrew acronym, Yesha: meaning Yehuda, Shomron and Azza. |
She was commenting on the 'slip of the tongue" by then Prime Minister Sharon who used the word "occupation" in reference to Israel's presence in Yesha. In 2003, Yesha still included Gaza. It was abandoned in 2005 for the sake of peace! And what a monumental disaster for the Jewish state that abandonment became. Hamas, ... |
"Egypt did not claim sovereignty in Gaza but Jordan deigned, in 1950, to annex Judea and Samaria. This annexation was not recognized by international law. The Arab nations objected to it, and only Britain and Pakistan recognized it β and Britain did not recognize the annexation of eastern Jerusalem. |
"In 1967, after the Six Day War, these territories β which were originally meant for the Jewish Nation's National Home according to the Mandate Charter β were liberated and returned to Israeli control." |
Professor Einhorn added that, "according to international law, Israel has full right to populate the entire Land of Israel with dense settlement and thus actualize the principles set by the League of Nations in the original Mandate Charter of San Remo in 1920. |
"At that time, the mandate to the Land of Israel was granted to the British and an introduction to the mandate charter states clearly that it is based on the international recognition of the historic ties between the Jewish People and the Land of Israel. Clause II of that mandate charges Britain with 'ensuring the exis... |
We, of course, know how that turned out. Britain reneged on its promises and undertakings. Britain tore away 80% all of the mandate territory east of the Jordan River in 1922 and gave it away to a Saudi who became the Emir Abdullah. There is nothing, therefore, in international law that requires the creation of a Pales... |
Professor Einhorn pointed out that the UN Partition Resolution of November 29, 1947 merely recommended that a Jewish and Arab state in what was the geographical territory known as Palestine "shall come into existence." |
Though the Jewish leadership reluctantly accepted the partition plan, it was, as we all know, rejected utterly by the Arab states, which invaded Israel thus voiding the UN's recommendation of any legal basis. |
The decision by the Jewish leadership to accept the UN Partition Plan was deeply painful for them. After all, the armistice lines where the invading Arab armies had been stopped left the Jewish state a mere nine to 15 miles wide and with Judea and Samaria (the so-called West Bank) and half of Jerusalem occupied illegal... |
The assessment was also motivated by the desperate need to give sanctuary to the 800,000 Jewish refugees driven out of their ancient homes throughout the Arab world, and to provide a haven for the remnants of the Jewish survivors of the Holocaust. |
Israel was forced to fight yet another war of survival against Arab genocidal aggression in the June, 1967 Six Day War. It liberated Yesha β Judea and Samaria β from Jordanian occupation and it therefore must be understood that this precious territory is empirically the very heart of the Land of Israel by all that is h... |
Simply put: The Jewish people do not settle land that already belongs to them. And the Jewish people cannot be called "settlers" in their very own ancestral, Biblical and native homeland. |
"Herzl rejected Uganda when it was offered because, even though he was secular, he realized that the only place for the Jewish state he envisaged, was in Eretz Yisrael (the Land of Israel) which includes Judea and Samaria, because it is to Eretz Yisrael that the Jews prayed for two thousand years to return. Nowhere els... |
But it all becomes meaningless when Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu allows an ambitious but godless leftist politician like Tzipi Livni to remain as Israel's negotiator. |
Following his success at some of the nation's premier youth tournaments, Alex Cisneros was projected for greatness before he stepped foot on a high school wrestling mat. |
And he certainly hasn't disappointed during three spectacular seasons at Selma High. |
Cisneros won his third CIF State Championships title May 5 at Bakersfield's Rabobank Arena β becoming the 16th wrestler in the event's 39-year history to do so while wrapping up a junior season that saw him go 45-1 with 15 pins, seven technical falls and six major decisions. He finished as the No. 3-ranked 125-pounder ... |
His 2-1 overtime victory over Clovis North's Vince Rodriguez gave Cisneros a title at a third different weight class, following his 5-0 win against Sanger's Chris Diaz at 112 pounds in 2010 and his 11-1 defeat of Clovis West's Stevan Knoblauch for the 103-pound crown in 2009. |
Cisneros has put himself in position to join former Bakersfield High standout Darrell Vasquez (1999-2002) as only the second four-time California state champion out of the thousands of wrestlers who have competed in the one-title-per-weight-class event since its inception in 1973. |
"His freshman year [winning the title] at 103 was understandable because he was just better than most everyone at that weight," Selma coach Sam Lopez said. "But this year, when you go up to 125s, you are dealing with a lot bigger kids. He had a lot of close matches. Not just Rodriguez, but the kid Ali Naser from El Cam... |
"A true champion will always find a way to win, no matter if it's not pretty. And this guy always finds a way to win." |
All Cisneros has wanted to do since donning Selma's black and orange singlet is win. And that's virtually all The Bee's Wrestler of the Year has done. |
Cisneros is 130-2 in three varsity seasons β never losing to a wrestler from California β while gaining confidence from his past success and the work he's put in to get to the top. |
"I know I can repeat every year," Cisneros said. "I just have to come back a lot stronger than the year before." |
And next season, he will balance the demands of what's sure to be an intense recruiting battle for his college services with the challenge of doing what many in the wrestling community don't want to see happen β Cisneros joining Vasquez as a four-time state champ. |
Of the five freshman champions before Cisneros, only Vasquez, Independence-San Jose's Jacob Palomino and Central Catholic-Modesto's Louis Bland went on to reach four state finals. The other two β Cisneros' older brother Joe and Oakdale's Trevor Machado-Ching β reached the finals twice. Joe Cisneros was a three-time med... |
"I'm sure a lot of people at the state meet want to see the kid lose, and you can feel that," Lopez said. "I remember watching [Vasquez] and thinking, 'I don't want to see a four-timer.' Now, we're going to be in that situation." |
If that bothers Cisneros, he's not letting on. |
"I know a lot of people are watching me to see if I'll fail. I try to focus on not letting that happen," Cisneros said. "Whether they are rooting for me, or not, they are there to watch me and I feed off that. I try to put on a show." |
The U.S. plans to use landmines in Iraq, to defend US bases. The U.S., pressured by a worldwide movement to ban landmines, had agreed to stop using landmines anywhere except Korea by 2003. The anti-landmine movement began when it was noted that guerilla and terrorist organizations had increased their use of landmines i... |
