Una donna turca di 92 anni è sotto processo nel suo paese per aver espresso la sua opinione sullo straccio che opprime le donne mussulmane.

It should be cristal clear to Europe (and the State Dep.t) what the Mullahs would do with the nuclear bomb: Ahmadinejad: “Israel cannot survive” . And it should be abundantly clear to all of them that the Shia Mullahs finance Sunni Hamas: Islamic Republic Paid Hamas Not to Free Abducted Israeli Soldier

Marze Por Gohar, Iranian opposition website: Hezbollah newspaper credits Ahmadinejad with hostage taking

Scott Ritter is a lunatic person whose opposition to democratic regime change in Iran (by the Iranian people, but with the crucial moral and economic support of the U.S.) makes him the enemy of the Iranian people.

Tunisia moves against headscarves. (h/t: Myrtus) . Two Tunisian women express different viewpoints on this. Leyla in the US says she disagrees. Massir in Tunisia says she is against hijab and supports the ban. Massir has posted her thoughts on it and I can manage to understand what she wrote in French : Je suis contre le port du voile

The first Congress of the Independent Libraries organized by the Assembly to Promote Civil Society is underway across Cuba, and despite the brutal repression the librarians are facing. The Assembly to Promote the Civil Society is civil society coalition of 365 Cuban opposition movements that fight peacefully for democratic and regime change in the island. From Octuber 10, 2006, to February 2007, a meeting of the 152 independent libraries is taking place in numerous Cuban towns and cities. They are informing the population about the goals of the civil desobedience and non-cooperation campaigns named “Yo no coopero, yo si quiero el cambio” (I don’t cooperate with the repressive authorities, I want the change). The official motto is “We are gathering for democracy”. Banned books, reviews, leaflets are being distribuited to the neighbors of the libraries where the meetings are taking place and to the population at large. There will be special events with youths and children, too.

Martha Beatriz Roque Cabello from Havana sent us these first photos showing the librarians and libraries gathered in Congress for Democracy.

Below is the “Elena Mederos” independent library.

More evidence pointing to the fact that UNIFIL ‘peacekeepers’ are in Lebanon against Israel: French UNIFIL commanders say they’ll shoot at Israeli overflights of Lebanon

Ulteriori prove che dimostranoche i caschi blu dell’Onu sono in Libano contro Israele. I francesi dicono di essere pronti a sparare agli aerei israeliani che sorvolano il Libano.

Italy’s minority govt (all recent polls shows it losing support, even from its own voters) makes it abundantly clear that its presence in Lebanon is for anti-Israel purposes: Italy to help Lebanese Hezbollah army attack Israeli airplanes watching out terrorists’ moves

Debka scrive che l’Italia sarebbe pronta ad aiutare l’esercito libanese (gran parte formato da sostenitori degli Hezbollah) con missili da lanciare contro aerei israeliani che sorvolano il sud del Libano per monitorare i movimenti dei terroristi. Se mai dovesse capitare che qualche missile italiano colpisce un aereo israeliano, spero che Israele risponda al fuoco con maggior forza.

Nothing new here: New J’lem Mufti endorses suicide bombers

Ecco cosa si predica nelle moschee in Italia: «In dieci anni convertiremo l’Italia all’islam»

Taliban kidnappers of pro-Taliban Italian journalist demand return of Afghan convert (from Islam to Christianity) Abdul Rahman to Afghanistan in exchange for the journalist. UPDATE:  Being aware that Abdul Rahman won’t be repatriated in Afghanistan to be murdered, the Taliban opt for what they know Mr. Prodi could agree: immediate withdrawal of Italian troops from the country. ‘If it is not possible to send us the apostate, withdraw your troops’. The story is in Italian, but will post it in English as soon as I find it.

I talebani chiedono la testa di Abdul Rahman, l’afgano convertitosi al cristianesimo, in cambio del giornalista italiano ( e filo-talebano) rapito. Ovviamente, nessuno anche nell’attuale governaccio di sinistra si sogna anche lontanamente di mandare Abdul a morire in Afghanistan.

New Zealand accomplice of the Mullahs in Iran. Immigration Minister: Iranian Christian convert “would be safe in Iran”. Mr. Cunliffle ,of course, forgets that in Iran ‘apostates’ are killed in public. But, in order not to lose its economic contracts with the Islamic regime, New Zealand does not care if a man is murdered because of his beliefs. In the meantime, good news for Gay Iranians, who will be granted special political asylum in the Netherlands.

Muslim women should not hide behind veil.Italian PM Prodi seems to be getting it.

Il signor Prodi dice una cosa sensata, anche se non capisce che non è solo il niqab ( cioè il velo che lascia scoperti solo gli occhi) che andrebbe messo fuorilegge in Italia. E’ il velo in generale, uno straccio che simboleggia l’oppressione e schiavizzazione della donna nell’Islam. Un oltraggio alla dignità dell’essere umano donna.

Robert Spencer: Muslim Moderates Under Siege

The Freedom Manifest, a website gathering secular and reformist French Muslims who struggle for Enlightenment in Islam, has launched a petition in favor of the  Robert Redeker, the french philosopher hit by a death fatwa. I admit I don’t understand French very much, but I can manage understand what the petition states: some of them disagree with Redeker’s statements, but – like Voltaire – they firmly support the right to criticize Islam. You can read the Petition and sign it here.

Propaganda vs. reality. Walking accross Cuba you would happen to read things like “We are doing fine”. This is what Castro affirmed. Below, just a glimpse of the reality on the ground.
