Gates of Vienna News Feed 2/26/2012

Gates of Vienna News Feed 2/26/2012The creator of a well-known British cartoon character made a little mistake when he went through security before boarding a flight at Gatwick Airport. As a response to seeing a fully-veiled Muslima being passed through screening without showing her face, he joked to a nearby security officer, “If I was wearing this scarf over my face, I wonder what would happen.”

Well, you can imagine what happened next. He was confronted by officials and the police were called and he was detained for an hour for questioning, thoroughly ruining his trip.

In other news, the European Central Bank is printing money easing liquidity again in response to the continuing sluggishness of the economy and in anticipation of a credit crunch.

War injured Libyan soldiers accommodated at Malmö's most luxurious hotel

Hotel Renaissance was voted Sweden's best hotel by Tripadvisor, only weeks ago.

The neighbors of the Hotel Renaissance(...!) often hear them "sing" allahuakbar!, muslims songs etc, according to Avpixlat

Every day a strange elderly man in a very nice coat and shiny shoes turns up at the hotel to talk to the "war injured" Libyans.

Somalia is the razzia base of Muslim piracy conducted against non-Muslims.

"I am not here to sign any contracts, says Abdiweli Mohamed Ali."

All contracts, treaties, and cease-fires are merely hudna.

Hudna

"What is being touted as a 'cease-fire' is something called a 'hudna.' A hudna [also known as a hudibiyya or khudaibiya] is a tactical cease-fire that allows the Arabs to rebuild their terrorist infrastructure in order to be more effective when the "cease-fire" is called off." -- "Cease-fire?" by Shira A. Drissman"

All payments by non-Muslims to Muslims are jizya.

Jizya

"From the point of view of the Muslim rulers, jizya was a material proof of the non-Muslims' acceptance of subjection to the state and its laws...."
