Where's Gawker?

From Eric Dondero:

An absolutely horrific video is making its rounds on some conservative blogs concerning the War against Islamic Jihad in Iraq. The video was released days ago on a Jihadist website. It shows three gay men, hands bound and kneeling. A Jihadi rebel holding the Quran, pronounces a death sentence upon them in accordance with Sharia Law. The other Jihadis then pour gasoline over them, and push them into a raging firepit.

Creeping Sharia, an American blog which chroincles Sharia Law and Jihadi activities is carrying the video.

EXTREME CAUTION: NOT SUITABLE FOR VIEWING BY MINORS OR OTHERS SENSITIVE TO VIOLENT IMAGES!

Ironically, no liberal or gay media has yet to pick up on the story. Liberal news sites such as CNN and MSNBC along with prominent gay gossip/celebrity sites such as Gawker or Queerty are quick to pick up on any news and videos which show Christians in a negative light. They are also quick to report on any perceived "discrimination" against gays in the US or UK by Christian groups. But they typically ignore stories when it involves Muslim violence against gays in Europe or the Middle East.

From Eric Dondero:

Israeli TV Station Channel 10, has had to pull back on ads showing British models Trinny & Susannah dressed in revealing clothing with a Mosque as a backdrop.

Ynet News has the story "Muslims offended by Trinny & Susannah":

The Islamic Movement's al-Aqsa institution association slammed Channel 10 for publishing a picture of the two women wearing strapless dresses against the backdrop of the mosque.

The association released a statement saying that "the publication of such abomination against the backdrop of an image of the al-Aqsa Mosque, in order to promote a television program on fashion and clothes, is a blatant violation and a desecration of Islam's holy mosque. This is an insult to more than one and a half billion Muslims in the world."

The association demanded that Channel 10 remove the ads immediately. "This is not the first time Israelis make use of pictures of the al-Aqsa Mosque, which violate the sanctity of Islam, whether with alcohol bottles or in order to promote tourism to occupied Jerusalem. We call for the immediate removal of the newspaper ads."

NANNY-STATE WATCH!

From Eric Dondero:

If it's pre-sweetened coffee, it will be banned in all city buildings if Democrat Mayor Thomas Menino gets his way. Among his concerns, the Mayor is worried that city employees are getting too fat and running up health care costs for the municipal government.

From the BostonHerald.com "Mayor’s drink policy causes stir":

Menino’s executive order bans any non-diet soda, sweetened energy or sports drinks, pre-sweetened tea and coffee or sweetened water products. Milk must be skim or contain no more than 1 percent fat and juice must be 100 percent juice. The policy applies to cafeterias, vending machines and beverages served at meetings and city-run events where food is purchased with city money.

An industry spokesman uses a rather libertarian argument against the Mayor's ban. Continuing:

"It’s disturbing that the city is choosing to intrude into the lives of people by telling them what they can drink with regards to safe, non-alcoholic beverages,” said Chris Gindlesperger of the American Beverage Association, the soft drink industry’s lobbying arm. “The people of Boston are more than capable of deciding what to buy without government help.”

London's "libertarian" Mayor avoids the helmets too

From SkyNews:

Norman Baker, Liberal Democrat MP for Lewes and a transport minister, said it his "libertarian right" to ride without protective headgear.

"I don't wear a helmet when I cycle. The first reason is that I don't want to. I don't want to wear something on my head," he said.

"For me the joy of cycling is to have the wind in your hair, such as I have left. It's free, it's unencumbered; I don't want to be loaded down."

Continuing:

London Mayor Boris Johnson, a keen cyclist, has also admitted he stopped wearing one because it was "hot and scratchy".

Political Correctness may have halted Investigations

PM Cameron prosecute "without fear or favour"

From Eric Dondero:

Conservative Prime Minister David Cameron is calling on investigators to use all their resources to track down all suspects and prosecute them to the fullest extent, for the rapes and murders of young British girls by Muslim Pakistani immigrant men. Most recently, new allegations have surfaced that some of the Pakistani men in custody may have killed two young girls.

From the Daily Mail "Police 'hid' abuse of 60 girls by Asian takeaway workers linked to murder of 14-year-old":

David Cameron called on police to follow criminal acts ‘without fear or favour’ wherever the evidence leads.

Background:

At least 60 schoolgirls were groomed for sex by workers at seedy takeaways linked to the murder of a 14-year-old girl.

Children as young as 11 were targeted by mainly Asian staff at fast food outlets in Blackpool. They were offered food, alcohol and cigarettes in return for sexual favours.

An unpublicised police report produced after 14-year-old Charlene Downes vanished in 2003 found the girls, most if not all white, had been victims of the ‘honey pot’ premises. There were claims last night that the report was suppressed for reasons of political correctness.

Following Charlene’s disappearance in 2003, police found more than 60 girls were being groomed for sex by non-white men centred around 11 Blackpool takeaways.

They were mainly aged between 13 and 15, but some were as young as 11. Yesterday former Detective Superintendent Mick Gradwell warned that research into the problem was being hampered by ‘political correctness and concerns about upsetting community cohesion’.
