EU: the fight against the Lisbon Treaty continues
So after Polish President Kaczynski said that it was pointless to sign it because of Irish “No” and Czech Republic has declared that its ratification must stop, the international reaction has been unanimous: blaming local politics regarding the Polish reaction.
But Sarkozy is not comfortable with this:
As his own spokesman Axel Poniatowski has made clear on his behalf, there is no other choice for the Irish but to hold a second referendum and, regardless of EU and French protestations to the contrary and regardless of whatever emollient nonsense Sarkozy utters in public, behind the scenes Brian Cowen will indeed have to put up with some serious pressure from this angry voyou from Paris to get it right in a second vote and to hold that vote sooner rather than later.
No, he is really not comfortable.
In the end the problem is the total lack of representativeness the EU has.
Of course, Angela Merkel has stated that it’s simply a question of “when” it will be signed.

Canada and Spain
In Canada Henry Morgentaler, the Canadian arch-abortionist, has been given the Order of Canada for health care, in the National Canadian day. Just trying to keep it quiet. To consider the moral and ethical standards of this man, just consider that in 1973, when abortion was not legal yet in Canada, wrote to Canadian PM, Trudeau, where he disclosed that friends, family and lovers of many Canadian politicians had been “helped by his services”.
In Spain, the Andalucian Autonomous Government is going to pass a law to legalise euthanasia:
The Andalusian government has announced a new law on euthanasia “with these four objectives: the limiting of therapeutic efforts, the rejection of treatment, palliative sedation and disconnection in case of death“.
It has not been reported widely, specially because of Spanish team winning football’s Eurocup AND because it’s summer. Just also to keep in quiet.
The difference is that in Canada there is already someone calling for demonstrations against the measure: Archbishop Collins of Toronto. The Evangelical Fellowship of Canada is also against giving the Order to Morgentaler.

Turkey: a plot against the Government and the process against AKP continues
Turkish AKP party is under siege. The Turkish Judiciary has accused its leaders, specially Erdogan and Gül, of trying to impose Sharia on the Kemalist-”laic” country. The Army, answering the Constitution’s call to defend the “laic” character of the State, have given several coup d’état during the XXth century to prevent the country to become an Islamist country. The Turkish Prosecutor has already accused them of supporting political Islam. So AKP has had an idea: just accuse 24 people of trying to give another coup d’ètat and arrest them. Among the accused there are two retired Turkish army generals. The arrests came just hours before Turkey’s chief prosecutor went to the constitutional court to set out his case that the ruling in which has its roots in political Islam, should be shut down because it is trying to impose sharia law.
So it’s entirely legitimate to question if these the arrested are political prisoners or plotters. And also it’s legitimate to point out the important responsibility of the European Union in these developments because of it’s support of AKP:
In the meantime, journalists opposed to the AK Party have been harassed and many, if not most of those detained, are being held without charge. Still, Europe supports the AK Party as “democractic” and “liberal”. Really? What democracy condones imprisoning people without charge for months on end? In which European country are such high profile arrests made without indictments or charges at the ready?
This is particularly striking considering that EU has even considered introducing in its constitution the “European Christian roots“, something which is only History and does not have any effect on present state of affairs. The reason for that is that EU considers that would against “its secular character“. And at the same time, they are supporting an Islamist party.
European Union’s (non-)logic it’s called.

Paying the jizya in Denmark
I wrote the other day about the influence of jizya in the death of Archbishop Paulus Rahho in Iraq. Now read this story about a Danish church paying the jizya not to be attacked… in Denmark. After non-stoppable racist attacks on church goers, they have arrived to a solution to their problems.
Now the church employs two Muslim fellow citizens as “bodyguards” to protect the church from vandalism and church-goers vehicles. The church is delighted: Since the Muslims are paid for protecting Christians from fellow Muslims, by far not as many churchgoers cars were damaged, nor was the church vandalized or Christians attacked in the vicinity of the church.
Amazing.

Phylis Chesler on European and MSM Antisemitism
Why anti-semitic attacks in Europe are not reported nor are critisized by MSM? Phylis Chesler writes about the last of the Anti-semitic attacks denouncing the MSM are not interested in its reporting:
where are all the anti-racists now? I hear no condemnations. The silence is chilling. And all too predictable. Where are the mainstream media? Where is FOX, CNN, MSNBC, and the International Herald Tribune? (Only ABC ran a Reuters’ 190 word story earlier today). When I googled this story, the first three pages consisted of stories filed by small bloggers and mainly by Jewish and Israeli media. (Military Photos carried a story as well). But where are The Washington Post, The Los Angeles Times, The New York Times? For heaven’s sake: Where is Le Soir, Le Monde, and Figaro? Has France’s Channel 2 covered this?
I think a lot of people considers that as a the main question to ask now.

Spain: imam investigated for obliging families to marry daughters…
instead of sending them to school. Someone denounced Saib Safi, the imam from Tárrega at the local police station. He has been accused of a crime against those families’ freedom after asking the families to oblige their daughters to abandon their studies at school before they were 16 to make them marry. According to El Mundo, Mr Safi has abandoned Spain and has gone to Morocco after knowing the complaint had been filed. Moreover, in the same complaint it seems like, when he was teaching Arabic, he asked the girls to sit in the back rows of the classroom, where they were completely forgotten.
The complaint was filed five days ago, according to Lérida’s prosecutor’s office.
