The mother of the murdered teenager Stephen Lawrence has distanced herself from a campaign group accused of violence against Nigel Farage and the UK Independence Party.

Baroness Lawrence of Clarendon played down her involvement with Unite Against Fascism (UAF), whose members are accused of trying to silence the Ukip leader.

The campaign group lists Lady Lawrence, a Labour peer, as one of its honorary presidents and says she has been a regular supporter and attendee at its meetings. However, Lady Lawrence insisted she was not closely involved with the group.

Asked about Mr Farage and UAF, Baroness Lawrence said: “I am not the president and I don’t really have a lot to do with the organisation.”

Speaking at her home in south London, she added that she had been to a couple of the organisation’s events a long time ago, and did not wish to comment on Mr Farage’s claims.

The security services will be given new powers to spy on people’s Internet use under Tory plans following claims that they could have stopped the killers of Drummer Lee Rigby.

In May last year Drummer Rigby was hacked to death by Michael Adebolajo and his accomplice, Michael Adebowale, in front of passers-by in Woolwich, south east London.

The Intelligence and Security Committee, the parliamentary body which scrutinises the services, has been told by MI5 that in the six months up to the murder there were “a number of incidents” where Adebolajo signalled his intent on the Internet.

However, the clues were not obtained until after his death because the information was held by Internet service providers in the US. Officials have claimed that the US legal system made it difficult to obtain the information.

There is currently a “significant push” from Conservative ministers to revive the controversial Communications Data Bill – described by critics as as a ‘snoopers charter’ – in the Conservative manifesto.

It is hard to think of any group of human beings more obviously loathsome than those who go by the general nom de guerre of “Boko Haram”. I yearn for them all to be rounded up by helicopter gunship, and brought to justice.

We find such behaviour mind-boggling, don’t we: to shoot, maim or kidnap young people – and all for what? It is there in their deliciously moronic name.

“Boko” appears – on at least one interpretation – to be a kind of pidgin word for the English “book”. “Haram” means forbidden, religiously prohibited, verboten, nefastus. The gist of their manifesto is that Western education – reading a boko – is haram. Boko Haram! Boko Haram! Any boy or girl found with a boko is liable to terrible retribution.

Young people in northern Nigeria have been brainwashed into becoming part of the evil panga-wielding mob. It appears to be a form of collective insanity. It is the crowd that gives the feeling its compulsive and hypnotic effect – and when a crowd has decided that something is haram, who dares stand in the way?

Good people in that part of Nigeria live in terror of these lunatics, and the sheer force with which they express their views. The Nigerian government seems unable to fight back. That is the power of haram. Can you think of any other society where people can suddenly decide that something is haram – and where everyone becomes terrified of the displeasure of the mob? Can you think of a country where there is a phenomenon of people being whipped up into an orchestrated frenzy – and where a funk-ridden officialdom refuses to take them on?

Boko’s Harem

http://www.dailystormer.com/radio-stormer-bokos-harem-and-other-negro-adventures/

May 7, 2014

These signs were obviously not produced by the people holding them.

Andre and Sven take a look at the media’s attempts to hide the fact that Blacks hunt and enslave other Blacks, with reference to the current Boko Haram situation where slaves have been renamed ‘wives.’

Comment: It is obvious from this and earlier reblogs of mine that WN and Counter-Jihad aren’t fully compatible. Again.

Samenzweringstheorie?

Toen de Oekraiense crisis zich ontvouwde was er een frame van ´honger naar vrijheid en democratie´ nodig om de westerse coup te legitimeren. De mainstream media speelden hierin hun klassieke rol. Het feit dat westerse leiders protesten steunden tegen een volgens westerse normen democratisch gekozen president was blijkbaar een normaal gegeven.  Maar de duistere krachten van deze wereld zijn niet van gisteren. Zij zijn zich bewust van het feit dat mensen zich steeds minder aantrekken van de gevestigde media en dat internet een steeds belangrijker rol speelt. Ook op sociale media dient dus een strijd te worden gewonnen.

Plots dook het filmpje I´m Ukrainian op en het werd gretig gedeeld. Binnen no time was het een aantal miljoen keer bekeken. Mijns inziens riekte het direct naar propaganda, hetgeen later ook werd blootgelegd door mensen die de moeite namen de herkomst van het filmpje na te gaan.  Wat bleek, de Council of Foreign Relations had de hand in het filmpje. Voor mensen die de Council niet kennen wil ik aanraden hier wat over te lezen.

Propaganda moet de emoties van mensen aanspreken. In dit geval werd gekozen voor een mooie jonge vrouw. Wat overigens wel vaker de ideale keuze lijkt. Zo werd men overtuigd van de Eerste Golfoorlog door een mooi jong huilend meisje dat de wereld een verhaal vertelde over Iraki’s die baby´s uit couveuses haalden en op de grond smeten om daar op de koude grond te laten sterven. Het was een verzinsel uit de koker van een PR-bureau.

Keer op keer wordt u voor de gek gehouden met dit soort verzonnen of in scène gezette gebeurtenissen. De Amerikanen zijn er het best in. Zij zijn ook degenen die het meest van zulke false flags gebruik moeten maken omdat zij omwille van hun empire nou eenmaal landen moeten binnenvallen en vernietigen. Maar u moet dan telkens wel geloven dat het gaat om het welzijn van de mensen, freedom and democracy.

Een andere tak van sport van de duistere krachten is het oprichten en steunen van terroristische organisaties die voornamelijk chaos en daarmee controle als doel hebben. Ik hoop dat u het al weet, maar voor de volledigheid: ook Al Qaida is een product van de CIA en vandaag de dag worden de islamitische terroristen, bijvoorbeeld in Syrië, volop gespekt met training, wapens en geld. Ook de fascistische horden die momenteel huishouden in Oekraïne hebben korte lijntjes met de groten van deze aarde.

Niet zelden worden bovengenoemde tactieken in een samenspel gebruikt. Zo werd na de Tweede Wereldoorlog Italië opgezadeld met Operatie Gladio, een door de CIA en NAVO gesteund terrorisme-netwerk dat aanslagen pleegde om deze vervolgens in de schoenen te schuiven van links. Zo werd een enorm krachtig links kapot gemaakt. Het imago was kapot, maar het secundaire doel was wel degelijk om mensen ook echt angst aan te jagen. De bevolking had geen andere keus dan te kiezen voor de gehate staat om te zorgen voor hun veiligheid.

Telkens opnieuw worden deze smerige spelletjes als incident bekend. We weten het dus allemaal wel. Maar we denken iedere keer dat het iets van het verleden is en trappen vervolgens weer in de nieuwe propagandageintjes van diensten die hier tientallen jaren uitgebreid onderzoek naar hebben gedaan.

Vandaag rollen we weer in zo´n nieuw spelletje. 200 ontvoerde meisjes, christelijke meisjes welteverstaan. Verschrikkelijk naar. We krijgen uitgebreide informatie over wat de ontvoerders allemaal met ze gaan doen, dit vertellen de ontvoerders zelfs op beeld. Boko Haram is een boze moslimsekte dus we hebben ons plaatje meteen compleet. De actie die volgt, namelijk #bringbackourgirls, gaat als een tierelier op het net. ´Zelfs´ prominente Amerikaanse politici tonen zich met een bordje met de betreffende tekst. Zinloos? Wel voor de 200 meisjes, niet voor de duistere krachten.

Groot-Brittannië, de Verenigde Staten en Frankrijk hebben hulp aangeboden. De VS en Frankrijk voeren al langer een uitgebreide oorlog in Afrika, oh nee sorry, ik bedoel vredesmissies. Om verschillende redenen. Grondstoffen, strategisch en vooral de angst om de slag van China te verliezen, dat geen oorlog voert om olie, maar investeert in bijvoorbeeld infrastructuur. De Amerikanen snappen dat niet, die kennen alleen oorlog, daar is het land groot mee geworden. Nigeria is zo´n land dat investeringen ontvangt van China en een gevaar vormt voor de hegemonie van de VS in Afrika. Dus Nigeria moet kapot. Chaos en ellende, dat is een voorwaarde voor de VS (en Frankrijk) om in te kunnen opereren. Daarom heeft de CIA de banden met Boko Haram maar eens goed aangehaald.

Brzezinski, de belangrijkste adviseur van Obama en diens absolute held, is er helemaal niet geheimzinnig over: “A divided and warring Nigeria ultimately serves the interests of the United States.”.

Maar zolang de wereld die flauwekul blijft slikken als zoete koek, is geheimzinnigheid ook helemaal niet nodig.

KONY REPEAT

http://www.radixjournal.com/blog/2014/5/8/kony-repeat

Everyone remember Kony 2012? It was the social media campaign designed to enlist the support of millions of affluent Westerners to join in the fight against Ugandan warlord Joseph Kony simply by altering their cover photos and tweeting out #Kony2012.

It ended up gaining an incredible amount of support and was one of the major cultural phenomenons of 2012. But it ultimately resulted in zero actual results–except making millions of SWPLs feel good about themselves for taking 30 minutes out of their day to care about the child soldiers of the Lord’s Resistance Army.

In 2014, we are once again seeing a similar story take over the media and tingle the white paternalistic instincts of SWPLs everywhere. The abduction of over 250 girls (which are always referred to as “schoolgirls” by Western media outlets) by the radical Islamist group Boko Haram shocked many in the West and prompted many self-righteous outcries.

Of course this is a tragic situation and shows how merciless life is in sub-Saharan Africa. But despite the brazenness and the quantity of the victims, how is this worse than any of the other ravages typical of Third World conflicts?

Similar to the Kony campaign, it began with social media—in particular, a hashtag. That hashtag is #BringBackOurGirls. Being somewhat of an expert on hashtag diplomacy, I was not surprised that this was the method to enlist SWPL support in the cause of finding the missing girls (schoolgirls, I mean). But after three weeks, the vast majority of girls are still unaccounted for and Boko Haram is threatening to sell them off as soon as possible (which prompted another hashtag: #RealMenDontBuyGirls).

And this brings up why this case has grabbed the attention of white liberals: it has all the trappings of a perfect narrative for them. It involves black, African girls going to school against the wishes of the traditionalist Islamic sects that dominate Northern Nigeria, then being abducted by reactionary elements who want to force them into slavery, and the media insinuating that the only way to solve the situation is with the courageous help of Westerners rushing to the aid of the abductees…with tweets.

So, a perfect situation with minimal risk and investment makes this a story that’s ripe for Western attention. Except it looks like not much will come of it. The Nigerian government is already upset that this story has been become an international topic and has arrested protesters demanding the Nigerian army do more to save the girls. They have also done little to “bring them back” in the past three weeks.

What has also been little discussed in this black-and-white morality play is that the government has committed similar actions against the Nigerian Islamists. Several women and children of the militants have been arrested by the government and interned in camps, thus prompting Boko Haram to pay the government back in kind with abductions of their own.

But don’t expect that side to come out in too much—they already have an established villain and they want to bring “our” girls back no matter what the facts. This played out in the Kony case as well when millions of young Westerners took to Facebook and Twitter to shriek at the war criminal for employing child soldiers without bothering to research that the people he fought against and who would be responsible for bringing him to “justice” also employed child soldiers.

The point of these stories is not to motivate Whites to actually solve these issues, but to give them something to briefly care about, tweet about, and feel morally superior about. It also reinforces the impression that only people who live in Western countries can rescue Africa from itself. But that is the whole root of the problem.

We’re trying to transform Africa into the West when it can never become the West. Instead, this attempted transformation only results in war, overpopulation, misery, genocide, famine, unbridled corruption, slavery, and disease for the Africans who have to live with the consequences of White paternalism.

White liberals don’t. They go off to Whole Foods, buy some organic kale, tell the bearded cashier how awful it is that people would abduct little schoolgirls, score some morality points, and go on with their day like they never knew that some people might have to deal with seeing all of their children butchered before their eyes.

And the instigator of this situation is that these girls are attending schools against the cultural traditions of the area. While Hillary Clinton can pontificate about how education is apparently a basic human right, how are these girls benefitting from this education? Seriously, how are they benefitting? It is destroying their communities, causing them to become prime targets for the slave market, and fuelling a bloody civil war. What is the gain except it makes a few Whites and Oprah Winfrey feel good about themselves? White countries have been investing in education initiatives like this ever since we decolonized the continent and the continent has only become worse. Is it all worth it if the girls can now use their newly learned math skills to count how many of their family members have been slaughtered because of their educational pursuit?

Here’s how to solve this situation for good: stop imposing our idiotic liberal values on other peoples and let Africans solve their own problems. We can only delay and make their problems worse. We hope that the girls are found safe, but they are not “our” girls. They are Nigeria’s girls and it is best if we stay out of the country for good. Let them live their lives the way they always have and stop forcing them to live like our degenerated selves. Then maybe the dark continent can find a semblance of peace.

Until that time, we can only watch this scenario play out like the Kony situation: a whole lot of sound and fury that ultimately leads to nothing except SWPL masturbation.

Apostasy in Islam

http://muslimlawprof.org/2014/05/05/boko-haram-and-the-proper-classification-of-what-is-islamic.aspx

Boko Haram and the Proper Classification of What is “Islamic”

In mass media accounts, there exists a perduring problem in the way various activities self-described Islamic actions are characterized.  At times, as bearing no relation to Islamic doctrine, when plainly it does. At other times, as wanting to take us back to the seventh century, when it does no such thing.  Personally, I think it would simplify matters to classify particular self-described “Islamic” positions (meaning described by their perpetrators as motivated by Islam) in one of three ways.

The first category is what I would call “Islam problematic” meaning that the position is problematic, and is rooted in important ways in the Islamic tradition. I certainly do not mean the position is inevitable in the Islamic tradition, and that if one is Muslim, they adopt such a position.  I eschew such categorical nonsense–categorically.  Merely, rather, that those who expound it the problematic position are doing so with some important classical pedigree behind them.  Hence, Rod Nordland is simply wrong when he suggests in the New York Times that a father compelling a child daughter into a marriage she does not want is more Afghan tribal than it is shari’a.  It may well be Afghan tribal, but it resonates in the classical doctrine, classical jurists overwhelmingly approved of such a practice of compelled child marriage by a wali.  (Want sources, a smattering is offered here.)  Again, this does not mean alternative positions are not plausible, only that one cannot dismiss the position of the Afghan tribes as somehow born out of tribal experience and divorced entirely from sharia.  Other examples exist, for example the Saudi judge looking for a doctor who might paralyze a person who had committed an assault that left a second person paralyzed.  The law of talion, pursuant to which the victim may demand the same injury on the perpetrator if feasible to do so, has a long and storied history in Islamic law.  A judge investigating the feasibility of intentional paralysis is working within the tradition, even if the tradition does not necessitate such barbarity (emphasize that) by any means.

Second category position I would describe as “Islam related” meaning that their reasoning adopts core Islamic normative tenets as its basis, and often takes the doctrinal tradition, or parts of it, seriously enough, but that is not necessarily in any sort of direct accord with the tradition.  This would be everything from Tariq Ramadan’s call for a moratorium on capital punishment to Abdulaziz Sachedina reconsidering the classical rules of apostasy.(Hashim Kamali questions this historic rule as well in this video.)  But I would also classify Osama Bin Laden’s conception of jihad in this category as well. It really is not a classical conception at all, given its revolutionary stature and the manner in which classical jihad was fundamentally conservative (expansionist, but conservative, in seeking to preserve the internal order, at least of the Muslim state, until the House of War was vanquished, and sanctioning violence only at the direction of the caliph to achieve that end).

I will not here attempt to evaluate the varying plausibilities or logical strengths of the relative arguments.  Naturally as a Realist I find that has little to do with which arguments are ultimately adopted anyway.  The point, rather, is this. They are Islamic enough to be “Islam related”, departures from the strict tradition, but certainly sounding in Islam with a sufficiently robust base of reasoning and argumentation to render them Islamic.  Many of my Islamic positions would certainly fall within this category, as a Muslim I believe them but acknowledge their departure from the tradition. Naturally, I lean very strongly liberal in the positions I adopt from this category.

Then there’s the third category of positions, which I will call “IINO’s”, or “Islam in name only.” This is something that really is not Islamic, in that bears no resemblance to the tradition and makes no attempt at all to justify itself Islamically beyond the adoption of convenient terminology.  Whatever Islamic reasoning is deployed is so poor and rudimentary that it can hardly be called the adoption of an Islamic normativity or stemming from any sort of Islamic preconception.  The most obvious example of this, you may have gleaned from the post title, is Boko Haram’s horrific kidnapping of 200 schoolgirls and threat to sell them.  I heard a risible commentary on the Diane Rehm show last Friday describing this as the Taliban or Qaeda incarnate, some seventh century vision of Islamic extremism.  Sorry, but if that is seventh century Islam, then Uganda’sLord’s Resistance Army is first century Christianity, and Joseph Kony is the Christ of the New Testament.  That you are more brutal and barbaric does not mean you are closer to the true source material.

This categorization is not apology–I already said above Islamic law has a deep and storied tradition of permitting children to be compelled into marriage.  By their wali.  Meaning a father, or a grandfather. And once those two are not around–dead, insane, whatever–and there is a different wali, then the power of the guardianship changes for some schools, and the power to compel disappears, hence the well known Hanafikhiyar al bulugh, or the option of the child at puberty to renounce a marriage she was entered into not by her father or grandfather but a different wali.  So this idea that you can rampage around and kidnap schoolgirls who aren’t your children when they have parents and force them into marriage is very far beyond the doctrinal tradition.   If you wanted to be Islam related, you’d have some major hurdles to jump, far more serious than anything explored above.  But the Islamic reasoning I’ve been able to gather in defense of this from the Boko Haram videos are as follows:

1. Western education is a sin.  Suffice it to say, the idea that the wali loses his power over his daughter and it is ceded to Boko Haram because the daughter is Western educated lacks classical pedigree.

2. Girls should marry instead of getting Western education.  You might be able to develop some sort of Islamic argument in favor of this, but again, it won’t get around the question of who might compel them to marry, which is the problem in point one.

3.  Slavery is permissible in Islam.  Yes, that’s an “Islam problematic” argument, category one.  But it does not work here at all. First, slaves can only be taken in a jihad, and even then, he’s got problems. He wants to sell them into marriage, that’s not how it works.  You’re sold, not sold into marriage.  So you don’t take a slave because you think they should be married, that makes no sense at all.  And that’s not all. Some of the captives are Muslims, and you have really lost Islamicity here, unless you’re calling them apostates but even then, you wouldn’t sell them, you’d make them repent their apostasy or kill them (if you took the severe doctrinal position, which I presume Boko Haram would).

So about nine impossible things you have to get around before breakfast, and suffice it to say, no real attempt is made to work through those.  This really isn’t an Islamic argument,  it’s an IINO, devoid of any real Islamic substance and not terribly interested in that substance. More interested in the mayhem he associates with it.  Throw in a ‘by Allah’, as in “I will sell them, by Allah”  get your followers to shout “Allahu Akbar!” behind you, and he thinks that makes it Islamic. And apparently he’s got some folks fooled. . . .

Comment: Apparently apostates cannot be enslaved, only be killed. However, does Haider Ala Hamoudi consider the possibilities of muruna?

Let us call Kony a Christian!!!

Hunted Children and Fundamentalism in Africa

Posted on May 7, 2014

By Juan Cole

    Hundreds flooded New York City’s Union Square on May 3 to protest the abduction of 236 Nigerian schoolgirls by the terrorist group Boko Haram. Michael Fleshman (CC BY-NC 2.0)

This post originally ran on Juan Cole’s Web page.

The horrific story of the kidnapping of nearly 300 girls from their school in Borno Province, northeastern Nigeria, by the Boko Haram terrorist group has again underlined the problem of violent fundamentalism in Africa.  Reports say more kidnappings were undertaken Wednesday.

Boko Haram, which was founded in 2002, has many resemblances to its Christian counterpart in northern Uganda, the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA).

Both groups have a holier than thou attitude to fellow believers.  Joseph Kony, an ex-Catholic leader of the extremist Christian Lord’s Resistance Army, says he wants to impose the biblical Ten Commandments in a literal way.  Christopher Hitchens wrote of Kony as described by an ex-associate, saying Kony “has found Bible justifications for killing witches, for killing pigs because of the story of the Gadarene swine, and for killing people because god did the same with Noah’s flood and Sodom and Gomorrah.”  Kony also upholds male dominance, urging polygamy; he has allegedly fathered dozens of children with several wives.  Both are characterized by magical thinking.  Kony teaches that wearing a Christian cross is protection from enemy bullets.  Kony led an insurgency to overthrow the Ugandan government but failed, and was forced into exile in Karachi.

Kony and his men kidnapped thousands, perhaps tens of thousands of children, inducting them into his paramilitary.  At its height it was alleged that Kony had 104,000 soldiers, many or most of them involuntary child soldiers.

Kony wanted to overthrow the Ugandan, but its army defeated his child soldiers, and his army was scattered.  He is now a fugitive with a smaller band, perhaps in the Congo.  President Obama sent a small troop contingent to Uganda to help with mop-up operations against his movement.

Boko Haram is the Nigerian Muslim counterpart of the Ugandan Christian LRA.  It was founded in 2002.  It has sometimes been called a Nigerian Taliban.  It wants to overthrow the Nigerian government.  In the past few years its adherents have killed thousands.  It has melded with local criminal gangs and sometimes does bank robberies.  Its leader, Abubakr Shekau, speaks of imposing a literalist understanding of Muslim canon law or sharia.  The movement reacted against the legacy of colonial education, forbidding Western-style schools.

Borno province where the kidnappings took place had been autonomous until 1967 and is not tightly integrated with the Nigerian state.  It had been a set of medieval emirates and the emir families are still notables.  It abuts the Cameroons, where Boko Haram also has bases.

In both movements, weak government played an important part.  Such movements are quickly defeated in countries with good militaries.  the important task of increasing governmental capacity has to be pursued by the UN and other multilateral organizations.  In the modern world, for any large patch of it to be poorly governed is a potential threat to us all.

Likewise, both movements depend on status inflation.  If a group could get extra status for some pious deed, these fundamentalist extremists would seek even more status by performing it hundreds of times.  This striving for extra religious status underlined that most adherents were not from wealthy or educated families.  But seeking status through extremist religion also often betrays the spirit of the religion itself.  The Muslim tradition never forbade women to be educated, and Muslim scripture encourages both sexes to seek learning.

Both groups turned into insurgencies, seeking the overthrow of their government.  Both prey on children in areas of weak government or conflict situations.  The Lord’s Resistance Army routinely kidnapped and raped girls.

Mainstream Christianity in Africa condemned the Lord’s Resistance Army.  Likewise, al-Azhar Seminary in Cairo, the chief religious authority for Sunni Muslims, this week condemned Boko Haram.

One difference between the two is that the LRA was hierarchical, with Kony clearly the central leader, and when he suffered reversals it deeply harmed his movement.  Boko Haram in contrast is a set of loosely related cells without a central leadership, which in a way makes it more difficult to defeat.

Just as in the end   Uganda and other regional states got their act together in confronting the LRA, Nigeria faces a crucial turning point in its postcolonial history.  Can President Goodluck Jonathan and his military recover the girls and take on Boko Haram?  The case of the LRA shows that united and concerted action by African governments can defeat such extremist movements without outside intervention, though the US and others did lend a small amount of support in recent times.  The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) has a military cooperative dimension.  But it was late to the game in Mali, and it remains to be seen if it can help in dealing with Boko Haram.  President Obama’s sending of some military advisors should be supplemental to an African military push.  Otherwise, Africa had enough Western intervention in the 19th and 20th centuries to last for a while.

Comment: Let us not mince words, why would the interpretation of Joseph Kony be inferior to other Bible interpretations? Let us call a spade a spade, and everytime a Christian molests a Christian child, or an Atheist molests an Atheist child explicitly mention religion and race of both perpetrator and victim. There are two kinds of society. Societies which direct violence, including sexual violence, inwards, and societies which direct violence, including sexual violence, outwards. The Golden Rule is an impossible ideal, and destructive when attempted.
