Danish Imam Called for 'War Against Jews' on Eve of Attack

In his sermon, the imam claimed calls for interfaith dialogue are actually a guise to draw Muslims away from their “true religion.”

Rejecting a conciliatory approach toward other religions, the imam recalled Muslim prophet Muhammad, who waged war against his Jewish neighbors rather than engage in dialogue with them.

“Did he call for closer relations, harmony, and dialogue with them, in the manner of the UN and of those who call to reconciliation Truth and Falsehood? Or did he call upon them to worship Allah? When they violated their pledge and did not accept this call – well, you know what he did to them… He waged war against the Jews,” he said.

Also taking aim at the United Nations, Saeed told worshipers the organization was established in order to “fight Islam, to destroy the State of Islam, and to draw the Muslims away from their religion.”

Islamic State militants 'burn to death 45 in Iraq'

Jihadist militants from Islamic State (IS) have burned to death 45 people in the western Iraqi town of al-Baghdadi, the local police chief says.

Exactly who these people were and why they were killed is not clear, but Col Qasim al-Obeidi said he believed some were members of the security forces.

IS fighters captured much of the town, near Ain al-Asad air base, last week.

Col Obeidi said a compound that houses the families of security personnel and local officials was now under attack.

He pleaded for help from the government and the international community.

Thats just great: Students Urge South African University to Expel Jews

The student government of the Durban University of Technology, in South Africa, has called on the institution to expel Jewish students, although some quotes from student leaders suggest that Jewish students who support the Palestinian cause could remain, The Daily News reported. Mqondisi Duma, secretary of the student government, said, "We had a meeting and analyzed international politics. We took the decision that Jewish students, especially those who do not support the Palestinian struggle, should deregister.” A statement from Ahmed C. Bawa, vice chancellor of the university, denounced the student government's request. He called the request "outrageous, preposterous and a deep violation of our National Constitution and every human rights principle."

Really ?? 20,000 foreign fighters flock to Syria, Iraq to join Islamic State

Foreign fighters are streaming into Syria and Iraq in unprecedented numbers to join the Islamic State or other extremist groups, including at least 3,400 from Western nations among 20,000 from around the world, U.S. intelligence officials say in an updated estimate of a top terrorism concern.

Intelligence agencies now believe that as many as 150 Americans have tried and some have succeeded in reaching in the Syrian war zone, officials told the House Homeland Security Committee in testimony prepared for delivery on Wednesday. Some of those Americans were arrested en route, some died in the area and a small number are still fighting with extremists.

The testimony and other data were obtained Tuesday by The Associated Press.

Nick Rasmussen, chief of the National Counterterrorism Center, said the rate of foreign fighter travel to Syria is without precedent, far exceeding the rate of foreigners who went to wage jihad in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Yemen or Somalia at any other point in the past 20 years.

U.S. officials fear that some of the foreign fighters will return undetected to their homes in Europe or the U.S. to mount terrorist attacks. At least one of the men responsible for the attack on a satirical magazine in Paris had spent time with Islamic extremists in Yemen.

GO UK !! Two Islamic terrorists back on streets after serving just half their sentences

Two Islamic extremists – one jailed TWICE for terror offences – are back on the streets after serving half their sentences.

Shah Jalal Hussain and Jahanagir Alom are out on licence despite a Tory pledge to end automatic early release for convicted terrorists.

Crimes the pair were involved in included plotting attacks and ­fundraising for terrorism.

Hussain, 32, has said he believes Downing Street is a “legitimate target” for suicide attacks and that he wished he had been a 9/11 bomber.

Alom was caught with two others who were plotting an attack on Wootton Bassett where dead soldiers were repatriated from Afghanistan.

It never ends...IS Militants Burn Three Iraqis Alive

Officials and eyewitnesses say Islamic State (IS) militants have burned at least three people alive in Iraq's western Anbar Province.

The victims, residents of an area near the town of Hit, some 200 kilometers west of Baghdad, were suspected of informing Iraqi security forces about the militants' movements.

Our correspondent says the militant group also accused the victims of encouraging people to join tribal forces who are fighting against IS.

Anbar officials said in a statement that one of the victims was a former police officer.

Residents of the area were reportedly forced to come to the site of the burning and watch the incident.

Lovely...Boko Haram Follows ISIS Lead - Burns Civilians Alive.

Islamic State (ISIS) terrorists in Syria appear to have started a new trend when they released video on Tuesday of themselves burning a Jordanian pilot to death; officials in Cameroon reported on Thursday that Boko Haram Islamist terrorists have shot and burned to death at least 91 civilians.

The slaughter occurred during two days of fighting in a town near the Nigerian border named Fotokol, and aside from the murdered another 500 were reportedly wounded, reports The Associated Press.

Around 800 jihadists of the terror group that has been waging a five-year Islamist insurgency in Nigeria crossed the border to take part in the massacre, in which they "burned churches, mosques and villages and slaughtered youth who resisted joining them to fight Cameroonian forces," Information Minister Issa Tchiroma Bakari told the news agency.

He added that livestock and food were also raided during the fighting, noting that the violence broke out on Wednesday and has been blazing on into Thursday. Schools have also been burned down by the terrorists, whose name Boko Haram means "Western education is forbidden."
