Liberals are committing the error of codifying their particular morality in secular law. People with contrary moral convictions are facing criminal charges. The freedom of religion means the Government can't force you to act against your conscience. If we persist on this road, we end up in an oxymoron: a liberal tyranny.
McConnell speaks after the verdict. UPDATE: The Public Prosecution Service is facing growing calls to explain why it dragged Pastor James McConnell to court in a case estimated to have cost the public purse up to £50,000. The pastor walked free after a judge found him not guilty of two offences linked to an address delivered at his north Belfast church in May 2014.
He had described Islam as "heathen" and "Satanic" and "a doctrine spawned in Hell", and said he did not trust Muslims.
2016 is the year on which a lot is going to depend. The US Presidential elections may well bring a patriot to power who will restore the US as the leading nation of Enlightenment values. In Europe, the people of the United Kingdom will hopefully vote to leave the EU, spelling the end of the Internationalists' Utopian deception. Let's turn this existential suicide pact around....
Turkish secret service MIT has been trafficking Jihadists and weapons across Turkish territory to ISIS. The evidence is overwhelming. Now a capured Jihadist says Turkey is training Islamic State terrorists in a camp disguised as a training ground for the Free Syrian Army.
Turkey is training IS terrorists in a camp disguised as a training ground for the Free Syrian Army. UPDATE: Captured by the Kurdish People’s Protection Unit (YPG) fighters in Northern Syria in November, Abdurrahman Abdulhadi, a Syrian national-turned Daesh (Islamic State) fighter, says he was trained in Turkey before receiving his first assignment with Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL).
The YPG maintains external security in the three Democratic Union Party (PYD) run areas, and is fighting Islamist groups, primarily Jabhat al-Nusra and IS. The PYD, an offshoot of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) in Turkey, has effectively been ruling parts of Syria after government troops were forced to withdraw from the areas in 2012. With special permission from the local Kurdish authorities, Russian journalists received first-hand testimony that Turkey is “a friend” of Islamic State. (Source)

The last couple of months we've seen professional analysts and commentators struggling with the question, what the hell is Obama's strategy with the Islamic State, or ISIL as he prefers it. Answers have been ranging from "there is no strategy" to outright incompetence. Here's an hypothesis that Obama favors Iran over the Sunni alliance.
Nov. 22, 2015 Rush Limbaugh talks to Chris Wallace on terror attack, refugee crisis.
UPDATE: It is intriguing that mainstream media has focused on violent terrorist acts of the Islamic State (IS or ISIS), a radical Sunni Islamist group, while they are deliberately avoiding raising awareness about other Islamist terrorist groups that are as brutal as ISIS, if not worse.
The other groups that I am referring to are primarily the Iranian-backed radical Islamist militias.
Brutal terrorist groups such as Kataib al-Imam Ali (KIA) are not any less violent than ISIS when it comes to the aggressive and horrific tactics they use against civilians. (...) Another militia group that is known locally for its violent attacks is Asa'ib Ahl al-Haq. It reportedly receives approximately $2 million a month from the Islamic Republic.
There exist more than 100 of these Islamist terrorist groups (...) One reason behind the liberal media outlets’ failure to shed light on non-ISIS terrorist groups is that they do not want to criticize Iran. These outlets are heavily influenced by the Obama administration's leniency toward the Islamic Republic. If President Obama views Iran as a constructive state actor, then the media put aside standards of professional journalism and follow in the footsteps of the President. (...) (Source)
For a long time EU Armed Forces have been a federalist wet dream. But to what purpose? NATO is the Western alliance's defense mechanism. The EU is exploiting the refugee crisis it helped create by pushing draconian plans for an occupying army that would have the power to take control of national borders without the consent of sovereign governments.
Dec 16, 2015 Uninvited EU border guard is another EU power grab - UKIP Leader Nigel Farage.
After rolling out the red carpet for potentially millions of migrants – most of whom are not Syrian – to enter Europe in search of welfare havens like Sweden and Germany – the EU has proven its total incompetence when it comes to dealing with border security.
However, instead of handing more power to national governments to address the crisis, the EU is set to eviscerate the sovereignty of member states further under a new proposal which would permit the deployment of up to 2,500 armed guards wearing EU uniforms, along with naval patrol vessels, helicopters and drones.
“The EU’s first paramilitary force would have the power to take control of a nation’s borders without the consent of sovereign governments,” reports the Times. According to Dimitris Avramopoulos, European Commissioner for migration, the idea represents “more Europe”.
The new agency would, “be able to step in to ensure action is taken on the ground even where … that member state considers there is no need for additional intervention,” according to a draft proposal.
Polish Foreign Minister Witold Waszczykowski slammed the idea, labeling it “incompatible with democracy”.
“For it to be a structure independent from nation states is astounding … an undemocratic structure reporting to no one knows who,” said Waszczykowski.
“Every single time a European Union policy fails….the demand is more centralization and more Europe, said UKIP leader Nigel Farage in response to the plan. Diane James, MEP and UKIP Justice and Home Affairs spokesperson commented, “This is a full frontal attack on national sovereignty from the EU.
All pretence has now been discarded and the Commission will now openly act against a member state’s wishes and operate within its borders without permission. By acting contrary to the wishes of national parliaments the EU has displayed its desire for a federal state for all to see.”
The International Business Times reports that the plan “could lead to armed EU guards effectively “occupying” parts of member states’ territory” and the EU having a “right to intervene” even when a nation state explicitly tells it not to.
The new border force will be based in Warsaw, Poland and EU member states will have to contribute to the €322 million a year needed to fund it.
The new force will also, “be able to carry out surveillance operations alongside the European Fisheries Control Agency and European Maritime Safety Agency and can even be deployed to countries outside the EU.”
As Leo McKinstry highlights, the new proposal is in line with a quote that is seen at the entrance to the Visitors’ Centre of the European Parliament which reads, “National sovereignty is the root cause of the most crying evils of our times,” leading “to tragic disaster and barbarism.”
The person who said those words was none other than British diplomat Lord Lothian, a passionate advocate of appeasing Nazi Germany right up until the mid-1940’s.
Human rights activist, Harvard Kennedy School Fellow and author Ayaan Hirsi Ali is on Al Qaeda's hitlist for producing a film in 2004 with Theo van Gogh about life for women under Shariah Law. Regardless of the fatwa she still boldly speaks out.

UPDATE: The French President François Hollande said quite correctly that the attacks in Paris were an act of war by the Islamic State. IS has vowed to launch further attacks on Europe. Therefore the continent must prepare for war and do everything in its power to destroy the Caliphate in Iraq and Syria. Containment and humiliation are not enough. But even if IS is destroyed, Islamic extremism will not. The destruction of IS will even inflame the religious rage for those who long for the Caliphate. European leaders must take a number of important decisions. To prevent more attacks on an even larger scale, the mindset needs to change. Islamic extremists will never succeed in turning Europe into an Islamic continent, but they can trigger a civil war that may turn parts of Europe into the Balkans of the 90s. (...) (Source)
ISIS has sent letters to Swedish civilians ordering them to convert to Islam within three days or face being decapitated in their own homes. Sharia law is affording infidels 'of the book' (Jews and Christians) the choice to convert to Islam, pay the jizya protection tax, or die.
The letter, posted on Facebook, features the flag of ISIS.
Bloodthirsty IS Jihadists posted notes through the doors of dozens of random neighbours in several cities across Sweden, including the capital Stockholm, threatening to murder "non-believers" in a terrifying campaign of violence.
Sweden is now on lockdown after the chilling letters pledged to behead innocent civilians and then "bomb your rotting corpses afterwards". Intelligence officials confirmed they are investigating the horrifying threats - which were signed by "ISIS" - as a state of fear gripped the nation.
The notes, written in Swedish, order people to convert to Islam or pay a religious tax, known as the jizya, warning that the police "will not save you from being murdered".
Postmodern, liberal apologists of Islam in the name of democracy, equality and the freedom of religion only serve radicals. In doing so they are leaving 'moderate' (secular, liberal) Muslims in the lurch. Karl Marx was reasoning from the viewpoint of Christianity and knew next to nothing about Islam.

CRITIQUE OF THE SOCIALISTS DEFENDING ISLAM
'The criticism of religion is the prerequisite of all critique.'
~~ Karl Marx
To take sides with Islamists in the name of democracy, to support the existence of Islamic sharia is to maintain its objectives to organize, strengthen and take power which, in case it succeeds, due to its intrinsic structure, due to the theology of Islam, will take all of your freedom from you, hang, imprison and exile. Just like what happened after the ''Islamic Revolution''. [in Iran, red.].
Carl Icahn warns that trouble is coming to the financial markets.
In a new video titled "Danger Ahead," the billionaire Wall Street veteran lays out the major problems coming out of both Washington and Wall Street. What's coming next will be "very dangerous and could be disastrous."
Sep 29, 2015
Carl Icahn's video. "Danger Ahead", explains that the present economy is not based on objective value: it's a phantom economy.
He started by explaining why Donald Trump had become so popular in the presidential polls. It boils down to a frustrated American public, angered by how little reform has been passed to stimulate growth. Two key issues Icahn argues must be addressed are the carried-interest tax loophole for investors and the exorbitant repatriation tax that discourages multinational companies from bringing their profits back to the US. For the financial markets and the economy, Icahn says the core problem is the Federal Reserve and its ultra-easy, zero-interest-rate policy.
