“If we want further enlargement, and I want it, we need new institutions,” Sarkozy told the European Parliament, claiming that an EU with more than its current 27 members cannot function without changes to the way it is run.

Sarkozy said he will go to Ireland on July 21 to seek a solution, but warned there would be no renegotiation of the Lisbon Treaty — designed to smooth out and speed up the bloc’s decision-making — which was voted down by the Irish referendum.

He denied trying to “blackmail” the Irish, but his insistence that Croatia and other candidates for EU membership will be prevented from joining adds to pressure on Dublin to call a second referendum on the treaty before elections to the European Parliament in a year’s time.

Doesn’t matter the opinion against it of Germany, Czech Republic, Poland and the Irish. What really puzzles me is that, when France rejected the EU Constitution (and the Netherlands), the rest of the Europeans should forget it, even if they have voted for it. Now that France does not held a referendum (it would be interesting to see the results if it did), then no one can vote against and Sarkozy (and the rest of the EU busibodies), can blackmail the Irish (yes, it is blackmail).

But this doesn’t matter: some moonbat intelligent guy is suggesting that “there is collective remorse in Ireland” and telling how to win the second referendum. EU Referendum points out what the plan is:

This just re-states the game plan, putting Cowen in the “hot seat”, to let him “spontaneously” decide that the Irish actually want a second referendum – which will then carried out in the Spring, in time for the “colleagues” then to celebrate full ratification of the treaty before the euro-elections.

Magnificent.

allegedly tested recently, is finally explained by Gateway Pundit, via the Jawa Report.

This must be the most laughable story from the Mullahcracy since the Islamic Revolution.

I have read it at La Vanguardia. But the best thing is the reason he can have more cannabis that the rest of the citizens is because for “rastafaris that substance easies contemplation and praying“. The Supreme Tribunal considers than having 100 gr. of cannabis is not in this case for commercial purposes but individual consumption. So it considers void the resolution which sentenced the man to a year and four months of prison and a fine of  €1,000 and orders the Appeal Court from Florencia to exam again the case.

He asked for Islamic food in prison. Yet the press says that he told the police that “he was innocent” and as ever does not mention at all that it was an honor killing:

The price of this politically correct refusal to confront the ugly realities of the Islamic link to honor killing will be, quite simply, more honor killings. No one will call upon Islamic groups to do something about this practice. No special scrutiny will be focused upon Muslims in the United States, or any studies undertaken about how honor killings can be prevented. No one will examine the question of unrestricted Muslim immigration in light of this problem. While learned analysts search for clues in South Asian cultural habits and the practices of European royalty, more young women will be murdered by their Muslim fathers, husbands, and brothers to cleanse their family’s honor. These young women are the ultimate victims of political correctness.

An interesting reflection. For me, it’s even more interesting after reading the behaviour this man had in court:

In court, Rashid made guttural noises and cried. He rocked back and forth and appeared to be talking to himself before the hearing started. Through Farhat, Rashid told Walker he was mourning the loss of his daughter.

“My daughter just died and I am not in a state of mind to ask any questions,” he said.

Yes,it was a normal death: it’s normal to die after being strangled. What a moron.

Sarfraz Sarwar, a Muslim leader in Basildon has stated in an interview with the Evening Echo via Social Cohesion:

“If anybody is caught with a knife then give them ten lashes in the town centre … Sharia law is not controversial. It’s a deterrent. Muslim countries don’t have half the problems we have because Sharia law is there.”

And:

“What is happening is mainly to do with misunderstanding. Maybe there is just a fear of the unknown.

“It is very difficult to work out why this is. I thought we were living in a modern European country, but it is like Victorian times. There is a lot of hate.”

Yeah, public flogging in the streets is much modern than “Victorian times”. And introducing Sharia Law, will make the “understanding” grow and decrease the hate.

Appalling Muslim logic as ever.

From Burmanet:

Many children orphaned by Cyclone Nargis are being employed in low-paid jobs in the Irrawaddy delta and Rangoon, according to monks in the region.

Monasteries throughout the region opened their doors to orphans, but a monk in Mawlamyinegyunn Township said children who lost their parents in the storm often preferred to live with adult survivors in their own communities, where they found work in the paddy fields and fish farms.

Other children who had lost their parents had migrated to the cities to find work in tea shops, small businesses and households, often encouraged by family members, the monk said. Some were as young as 10.

Middle East problems grow as days go by:

The weapons have “special capabilities” and included missiles launched from naval ships in the Persian Gulf, along with torpedoes and surface-to-surface missiles, the broadcast said. It did not elaborate.

A brief video clip showed two missiles being fired simultaneously in the darkness.

The report came hours after Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice warned Iran that Washington will not back down in the face of threats against Israel.

“We are sending a message to Iran that we will defend American interests and the interests of our allies,” Rice said Thursday in Georgia at the close of a three-day Eastern European trip.

A TV grab taken from Al-Alam shows Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guards preparing to fire a Shahab-3 missile. Iran on Wednesday test-fired a missile it said is capable of reaching Israel, angering the United States amid growing fears that the standoff over the contested Iranian nuclear drive could lead to war.

Apparently, Iran has manipulated one photo in which only appeared three missiles. After the manipulation, four missiles appear.

Meanwhile, French oil company Total has quitted Iran gas deal, because it is too risky, politically speaking, his head, Christophe de Margerie, told The Financial Times in an interview.

The rise of Islamic fundamentalism in Turkey has produced also a boom in “Islamic tourism” via Turkish Digest:

A non-practising Muslim, Ulukent has had his share of fanatics. He remembers one guest angered by music coming from the women’s bathing area. “He said it was a sin,” Ulukent says. “The tape turned out to be his wife’s. We told him to calm down – this is a hotel, not a morgue.”

(…)In the past there were women- only beaches in Turkey, used both by headscarf-wearing women who considered stripping off on shared beaches against their religion, and by uncovered women keen to avoid unwanted male attention.

They were closed down during an army-led crackdown on political Islam in 1997 on the grounds that the coast is a “public space”. Feminine modesty, Islamic or otherwise, now “constitutes an ‘anti-secular’ act in our country”, says Nihal Bengisu Karaca, a well-known columnist.

Via Turkish Digest too, this article from Der Spiegel about the unending fight for secularism:

Ali Ercan’s world swarms with enemies. The gray-haired professor of nuclear physics and deputy chairman of the Kemalist Thought Association (ADD) has to worry about reactionary Islamists, separatist Kurds, suspicious Armenians and Greeks, capitalist Americans and of course the European Union, with its constant pressures to reform. A bodyguard stands in front of Ercan’s small office on Gazi Mustafa Kemal Boulevard, round the clock.

Inside, a brass plaque greets visitors: “Turkey will never belong to Europe! She will never give up her sacred sovereignty!” Ercan, 55, came up with the slogan himself. Now he wants the words etched on his gravestone, he says. The Europeans come in for particular blame in this “dark and dangerous time which our country is living through.” Who else have encouraged Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan to Islamicize Turkey through “reactionary religious forces,” he says. Who else have pushed Erdogan to sell off Turkey economically and erode its national sovereignty?

The problem here is that the European Union prides itself of being secular, while here is supporting clearly the pro-Islamic AKP.

From Beaman’s World:

“The days of the high-profile “radical mosque” are coming to an end: they are too easy for the security services to infiltrate or close down. Likewise, Islamists know that naked incitements to terrorism over the airwaves or the internet are risky, so they have switched to a form of rhetoric which concentrates on citing historical precedents for Islamic violence against the infidel – and there’s no shortage of them, needless to say.

Creepiest of all is what Brandon – a Middle Eastern specialist who has worked for Al-Jazeera, the BBC and Bloomberg – calls a “deep preoccupation with radicalising children”. One poster to Islambase, a leading radical website, recalls how he left the room to praise Allah when he heard his small sons fantasising about attacking “kaffirs”.

Read it over at Devil’s Kitchen. The antisemite in question is a representant of Hamas UK and the sued blogger is Harry from Harry’s Place:

Mohammed Sawalha is President of the British Muslim Initiative and a senior fundraiser for Hamas activities in Britain who objected to a post on HP in which they noted his use of the phrase “Evil Jew” in a speech delivered to Al-Jazeera, before an eagle-eyed editor changed the phrase to “Jewish lobby”. HP backed this claim with screenshots and additional supporting evidence. The British Muslim Initiative are peeved that anyone would think they would use a phrase like “evil Jew” (perish the thought!) and, having not had the retraction and apology they were demanding, are now suing.

Thanks to Chaim for sending his link to me just when I was writing this post. In his post he announces a Blogburst in Support of Harry’s Place, a blogburst I am of course adding this blog to. If you want to take part in the Blogburst, just write to admin at neoconstant dot com telling them what your blog is.

Linked to this issue you can read “Writing is also a bomb: the “Moderate” Muslim Threat“:

The real danger is in fact actually the moderate Muslim who, when offended by all that is infidel, demands that those offenses be removed or destroyed. In the civilized world we call those things science, women’s rights, learning, free-speech, art, progress, technology, and freedom of the press. Islamic Scholars have even demanded that the West pass laws to criminalize insults to Islam.

(…) slowly, insult by insult, flags of native countries are now considered racist and offensive to Muslim immigrants (not to terrorists but to moderate Muslims); women wearing western style clothing invite and deserve rape; art offensive to Muslims is pulled from museums; and so many other things offensive to Islam that it would take a thousand and one nights to catalogue. There is no shortage of websites that list things offensive to Muslims: here, here, here, and here.

Human Life International has issued an international call for help. The supporters of this pro-life NGO have been suffering a different kind of harrasment payed by pro-abortion supporters: they have been sexually harrassed by criminals payed for that purpose, while they were praying outside the abortion clinics. The crimes have been recorded and can be seen in these videos (one is in Spanish, the other in German but the images are sufficiently explicit, the English video is no longer available):

The responsible of this idea is Christian Fiala, the director of the abortion clinic Gynmed and he is also the President of the International Federation of Associated Abortion and Contraception Professionals. He says he has payed for “agents” to make pro-lifers flee from the scene. “For defensive reasons I have contracted agents on repeated occasions to stop the activity of anti-abortion activists“. Praying pro-lifers are so menacing, you see, he must pay “agents” to stop them. Were you losing money because of this menacing-praying-pro-lifers, Mr. Fiala?

And the worst is that Austrian police is doing nothing to prevent this harrasment of pro-lifers, which takes place in the street.
