The United Kingdom Abandons Asia Bibi

Asia Bibi's Husband & Daughter
In what can only be described as a shameful act, the United Kingdom has declared that their country will not grant asylum to Asia Bibi out of fear of upsetting "community relations."  This is nothing short of a travesty.  For eight years Asia Bibi has sat on death row despite committing no crime.  Radicals across the nation are calling for her death and have vowed to kill her.  There is no individual in the world that can make a stronger case for asylum to a Western Nation, yet the UK has chosen not to let her in.  

This shameful pattern of conduct by the UK time and time again.  Some years back, the UK tried to deny asylum to Mende Nazer, a young woman for the South Sudan Nuba tribe who was abducted and sold into slavery when she was just a child by murderous Arab horsemen that were financed that the genocidal Sudanese regime.  After years of abusive treatment, her slave masters sent her to the UK to work for their relatives living in the country.  Fortunately, she was able to escape, yet the UK tried to deny her asylum out of fear of damaging relations with the nation of Sudan.  The UK also banned the Archbishop of Mosul, Nicodemus Daoud.  Yet the UK has no problem admitting Jihadist hate activists like Saudi Sheikh Mohammed al-Afrefe, who has openly supported Jihad against "Infidels."
UK Bans Iraqi Bishop, but allows Radical Jihadist Supporter to Enter

 This hypocrisy by the UK has gone on for far too long.  The United Kingdom's selfish decision has raised the ire of many humanitarians within the country.  Even moderate British Imams have slammed the UK's decision and have demanded that Asia Bib and her family be granted safety.  Other Western Nations are now starting to raise their voice, demanding that Asia Bibi and other endangered Pakistani Christians be granted asylum in their nations.  

Let us hope their voices are heard and the UK starts doing the right thing.

Hamas Invasion of Israel

The brutal invasion of Israel by Hamas caught the entire world by surprise.  Over the last few years Israel has become accustomed to turning back rocket attacks and occasional cross-border raids by Hamas terrorists, but nobody anticipated this brutal full-out invasion.  Already being dubbed as "Israel's 9/11," militants stormed across the Gaza border and attacked towns across southern Israel.  Already over 900 Israelis are confirmed dead, thousands more wounded, and over 100 hostages, including women & children, have been taken back to Gaza ( Video Footage of Massacres ).   Israeli Woman Taken Hostage by Hamas The deadliest massacre so far took place at the Nova Music Festival in the Negev Desert close to Urim, a Jewish community that lives close to the Gaza Strip.  At 6am on Oct. 7th, the attack on the festival began as rockets rained down and Hamas gunmen appeared and opened fire.  As of now over 260 Israelis are confirmed dead from this attack alone with a number o

Jihadists World-Wide Celebrate Massacres in Israel

The Plague of Jihad is all over the world.  The past few days has witnessed Israel suffer the most horrific attack that it has endured since the October War of 1973, yet for all of the senseless death, for all of the footage that we see of Hamas militants murdering Israelis in cold blood, many in the world are in fact celebrating this atrocity.   Hamas Supporters in Canada In Iran, crowds of Hamas supporters took to the streets to celebrate the slaughter of Israelis by Hamas while their government leaders lavished praise on the terrorists ( Link to Article ).  In the nation of Turkey, Hamas supporters crowded the streets of Istanbul chanting "Allahu Akbar" & "Khaybar Khaybar Ya Yahud" ( Link to Video ).  "Khaybar Khaybar ya yahud, jaish Muhammad soufa ya'oud" is the full version of the chant.  It translates to "Khaybar Khaybar or Jews, the Army of Muhammad will return."  For those unfamiliar with the context of this chant, Khaybar was the

Hamas and Their Child Soldier Training Camps

Image
For years the world has known that Hamas deliberately targets children for indoctrination and training to carry out terrorist missions.  They have camps throughout Gaza and other areas of the Middle East where children are taught to hate, & trained to kill.  These camps are often referred to as "Summer Youth Camps."  The titles sound harmless enough, but unlike the summer youth camps in the U.S. and other Western nations where children play games, do crafts, and in general, have fun, the Hamas "Summer Youth Camps" are nothing like this.  They're training camps, where children are trained in weapons handling, military drills, and are indoctrinated to "hate the Infidel," particularly Jews.   Link to Video On videos that have circulated across the online world, these children have openly confessed that they have come here for the purpose of learning to fight.  One such video surfaced on MEMRI with a child openly stating "We did not come here to e
