NATO civilian contractors came to Afghanistan to civilise and democratise the local barbarian Muslim population but ended up doing something a lot more sleazier.

As this exclusive report from the British newspaper The Sun shows they have ended up in the brothels of Kabul:

"NATO men are romping nightly with prostitutes in Kabul – while Our Boys die on the front line.

The Sun filmed civilian workers visiting illicit brothels in the Afghan capital for sex with Chinese hookers.

They glugged down contraband beer as they leered at £70-a-night girls before leading them off to gloomy bedrooms.

Nato chiefs say one in five civilian staff use brothels and warn it must stop for fear of outraging Muslim Afghans and derailing the security mission.

Hundreds of foreign contractors get up to £100,000 a year tax-free for admin and security work.

Vice dens posing as Chinese restaurants have boomed since the collapse of the Taliban.

A Sun probe identified three hidden away behind wire-topped walls and heavily bolted doors.

At one named Paradise armed doormen inspected our investigators before they were shown to a dingy bar where contractors openly groped girls.

A hooker called Boo Boo said she hardly slept because she was constantly booked. Another called Sin Sin said: "Kabul is dirty and dangerous but I like money."

There has been a rise in sexual diseases and NATO chiefs fear staff could be blackmailed." (Source: The Sun)

Bigoted vandals have desecrated the graves of Muslims killed fighting for France in the first world war:

"Vandals desecrated 148 Muslim graves in France's biggest war cemetery, hanging a pig's head from one tombstone and daubing slogans insulting France's Muslim justice minister, officials said Sunday....

....The cemetery is France's biggest military graveyards and commemorates tens of thousands of victims of a series of long and bloody battles for control of northern France at the start of World War I.

The attack came almost exactly a year after a similar incident in which neo-Nazi vandals scrawled swastikas on 52 of the cemetery's Muslim graves.

"This is the most inadmissible kind of racism and the president of the republic shares the pain of France's entire Muslim community," said a statement issued by the presidency. France's Muslim community is Europe's largest at around five million.

"This hateful act is also a attack on the memory of all veterans of World War I, beyond the faith of each one," the statement added.

The state prosecutor for Arras, Jean-Pierre Valensi, said "the slogans directly target Islam and they gravely insult Rachida Dati, the justice minister," who is the daughter of north African immigrants.

He said a pig's head was hung from one of the graves." (Source: AFP)

UPDATE: Islam And The West Videos has a Reuters report on this incident from France.

The first memorial service remembering those killed in a deadly attack on a rabbinical seminary in Jerusalem took place today.

The service was attended by around a 1000 people who witnessed calls from Rabbi Mordechai Eliyahu for revenge against Arabs:

"Some 1,000 people attended a memorial service at the Mercaz Harav rabbinical seminary Thursday, marking the one-month anniversary of the murderous attack which claimed the lives of eight young men.

Also attending the service were many prominent rabbis of the Religious Zionist Movement, who were not shy about expressing their rage against the government's policy....

...Former Sephardi chief Rabbi Mordechai Eliyahu called on the government to decree that for every life lost in the attack another yeshiva and township will be formed.

"Even when we seek revenge, it is important to make one thing clear – the life of one yeshiva boy is worth more than the lives of 1,000 Arabs.

"The Talmud states that if gentiles rob Israel of silver they will pay it back in gold, and all that is taken will be paid back in folds, but in cases like these there is nothing to pay back, since as I said – the life of one yeshiva boy is worth more than the lives of 1,000 Arabs," added Rabbi Eliyahu." (Source: Ynet News)

This not the first time that the former Sephardic Chief Rabbi of Israel has made comments that have been noted in the press.

Below are posts from this weblog's archives which detail some of Rabbi Mordechai Eliyahu's previous religious pronouncements:

The British National Party considers itself to be a champion of the indigenous peoples of the British Isles. Its policies are based upon racial separation. Over recent years the party has tried to position itself to take advantage from a rising tide of anti-Islamic sentiment in Britain.

This culminated in the trial of its leader Nick Griffin on suspicion of incitement to racial hatred. The basis for the prosecution was a speech given by Nick Griffin in 2004 in which he was recorded as saying that Islam was a "...wicked and vicious faith".

Now Nick Eriksen an organiser of the BNP in London and prospective London Assembly member has been exposed as an author of a extremely misogynistic right-wing weblog:

"A senior BNP leader with a strong chance of winning a seat in the London Assembly next month has written that rape is a "myth" and that "some women are like gongs - they need to be struck regularly."

The Standard can reveal that Nick Eriksen, the BNP's London organiser and the second-highest candidate on its list for the Assembly, is the author of "Sir John Bull," a notorious far-Right blog which has regularly advocated hatred and abuse against women. The disclosure will be a serious blow to the BNP's hopes of London electoral success.

On 24 August 2005, Mr Eriksen wrote: "I've never understood why so many men have allowed themselves to be brainwashed by the feminazi myth machine into believing that rape is such a serious crime ... Rape is simply sex. Women enjoy sex, so rape cannot be such a terrible physical ordeal.

"To suggest that rape, when conducted without violence, is a serious crime is like suggesting that forcefeeding a woman chocolate cake is a heinous offence. A woman would be more inconvenienced by having her handbag snatched.

"The demonisation of rape is all part of the feminazi desire to obtain power and mastery over men. Men who go along with the rape myth are either morons or traitors."

...Eleven of the 25 Assembly members are elected on a London-wide basis using a form of proportional representation. The BNP is likely to win at least one of these seats, for which it needs around five per cent of the vote, and has strong hopes of winning a second, for which it needs around seven to eight per cent. If the BNP does win two seats, one of them will go to Mr Eriksen and one to London party leader Richard Barnbrook.....

...Contacted by the Standard last night, Mr Eriksen admitted the blog postings were written by him, but said they were "deliberately provocative" in order to stimulate debate.....

....Mr Eriksen, a former Tory councillor and ex-civil servant at the Department for Culture, Media and Sport who lives in Richmond, says he will not resign. If he and Mr Barnbrook are elected, BNP leader Nick Griffin says the party will be invited on the BBC's Question Time." (Source: The Evening Standard)

Misogyny and an indigenous westerner, surely there must be some mistake here. I thought Muslims were the only misogynists on the face of the earth.

Updated: The BBC London website is now reporting that Mr. Nick Eriksen has been axed as a candidate for the London Assembly elections.

It appears that not even the BNP could stomach the embarrassment that his blog posts brought upon the party:

"The British National Party is to remove a candidate standing in the London Assembly elections - after it was discovered that he was the writer behind a blog that made disparaging comments about women and rape." (BBC London)

Muslim leaders in the Asian country of Philippines have renewed a previous call for Muslims not to engage in terrorism.

This latest initiative comes after the release by right-wing Dutch politician Geert Wilders of his anti-Islam film fitna:

"Muslim religious leaders here renewed their call against terrorism on Tuesday and asked Filipino Muslims not to be carried away by emotions even as their religion came under attack from a far-Right member of parliament in The Netherlands.

Ustadz Esmael Ebrahim, spokesperson of the Assembly of Dharul Ifta of the Philippines, said the country's muftis (Guardians of the House of Opinions), renewed the call in light of an anti-Islam film produced by Dutch lawmaker Geert Wilders that has provoked anger among Muslims worldwide.

The 17-minute film Fitna, posted widely on the Internet, links pictures of terrorist attacks with verses from the Koran.

Ebrahim said the muftis are urging Muslims not to be driven to commit violence by people who claim to be sympathetic to them.

Last year, the muftis issued a similar call and even came up with a book titled, "Selected khutba" (mosque sermons), in which they declared terrorism as "haram" (unlawful and forbidden).

"Muslims should also distance themselves from people who use Islam for the advancement of their sinister agenda," Ebrahim said." (Source: Enquirer.net)

There has been lately a lot of huffing and puffing from both Muslims and the right-wing Judaeo-Christian blogsphere over Geert Wilders film entitled "Fitna".

For the most part the Muslim reaction to the incendiary Dutch politician's film has been muted. Our nightly news broadcasts have not been abound with images from Muslim rioters across the globe baying for the blood of Geert Wilders, his family or anything Dutch.

I am sure that the lack of a violent response from the Muslim community worldwide has really disappointed the right-wing Judaeo-Christian blogsphere.

Just the thought of a Geert Wilders film on Islam I am sure has sent many a right-wing Judaeo-Christian bigot into an orgasmic frenzy of Islam bashing. If questioned as to why they support the film I am sure that many of these "experts on Islam" will say that they are support and defend Geert Wilders right to freely express himself.

Talking about freedom of expression last week a senior French civil servant by the of name Bruno Guigue was dismissed from his post by the Interior Minister Michele Alliot-Marie.

It appears that Bruno Guigue's "crime" seems to be that he expressed himself pretty much like Geert Wilders over the internet but in Guigue's case he lost his job:

"A French senior civil servant has been sacked for publishing a violent anti-Israeli diatribe on a web site, the interior ministry said.

Bruno Guigue, deputy prefect of the southwestern town of Saintes, wrote in an online column this month that Israel was "the only state where snipers shoot down little girls outside their school gates."

The author of several books on the Israli-Palestinian conflict, Guigue wrote of the "Israeli jails where -- thanks to religious law -- they stop torturing on the Sabbath."

Interior Minister Michele Alliot-Marie dismissed the official after learning of the column on Wednesday, the ministry said." (Source:AFP)

I wonder how many in the right-wing Judaeo-Christian blogosphere will be just as eager to support Bruno Guigue's freedom of expression and views as they are to support Geert Wilder's freedom of expression and his views?

Maybe the problem here is not the freedom of expression but rather the freedom to incite and target. In Geert Wilders case those being incited against and being targeted are Muslim. Where as in Bruno Guigue case those being exposed are the Israeli state.

For Geert Wilders the right wing Judaeo-Christian blogspehere only has praise. But for Bruno Guigue I am sure they only have hate.

Maybe it is an underlying hatred of Islam and Muslims that primarily drives those in the right-wing Judaeo-Christian blogsphere to support Geert Wilders rather than any notional love for the freedom of expression.

A new report from the Czech republic has surfaced. Authored by the Brno-based Islamic Foundation it says that hatred and intolerance towards Muslims has been increasing in the east European country:

"Hatred and intolerance of Muslims and Muslim nations have mounted in the Czech Republic over the past few years, Munib Hasan, chairman of the Brno-based Islamic Foundation, says in a statement sent to CTK Saturday.

He said this is to blame on the media, politicians and certain interest groups, but also individual Muslims, and called for reconciliation and tolerance to be exercised by both Muslims and the Czech majority.

"We are afraid of the day when this venomous campaign against Islam and Muslims results in physical attacks, which creates an atmosphere of fear and instability in society," says the statement....

...The Brno Islam believers said in the statement Europe is their home and that they feel bound to observe the Czech legal order.

"We call on Czech Muslims to continue to protect the calm course of life in this country," the statement says.

An active Muslim community lives in Brno. Ten years ago a mosque was built in the city to which about 120 believers come to pray." (Source: Prague Daily Monitor)

I am a little surprised by this news item. By all accounts the entire Muslim population of the Czech republic is around 20,000. That is 20,000 Muslims in 10,000,000 non-Muslim Czechs. Hardly a case of the mass migration of hordes of Islamic barbarians is it ? So where is all this hate coming from?
