Pakistan: Even after death fatwa, assassinated Christian official did not have protections enjoyed by most gov’t ministers

By

Heavens, that might have inconvenienced the people who wanted to kill him. “Minister not given bullet-proof car,” by Omer Farooq Khan for the Times News Network, March 3: ISLAMABAD: Pakistani government minister Shabhaz Bhatti was deprived of the facilities that most ministers enjoy, like privileges of bullet-proof vehicles and high-walled houses in Islamabad’s Ministers Enclave.

Frankfurt Airport shooter shouted “Allahu akbar,” then murdered two U.S. airmen

By

Of course, we knew that the “Islamist slogans” that Arif Uka shouted were “Allahu akbar,” but here is direct confirmation. Note that the New York Times never identifies Uka as a Muslim, much less an Islamic jihadist, and translates his shout to “God is great,” thus further obscuring the jihadist nature of this attack. “Shooting […]

Frankfurt Airport Shooting Update: So says the German-language article “Kosovare greift US-Soldaten an — zwei Tote!” in Bild, March 2 (thanks to Buraq Is Dead): Angeblich hat der Täter beim Angriff auf den Bus islamistische Parolen gebrüllt. “Supposedly, the offender shouted Islamist slogans during the attack on the bus.” No doubt he shouted “Islam Is […]

Frankfurt Airport murderer ID’d as Kosovar Muslim; U.S. Rep calls it terrorist attack

The latest on the Frankfurt Airport attack has the shooter identified as Arif Uka, a name that shows him to be a Kosovar Muslim.

Frankfurt Airport attack “fits in the category of ‘armed jihadist assault’ similar to what…al-Awlaki called for”

By

Could the Frankfurt Airport attack have been committed by a jihadist following the call of al-Awlaki? “Gunman Targets U.S. Soldiers At Frankfurt Airport,” from Stratfor Global Intelligence, March 2: […] The attack fits in the category of “armed jihadist assault” similar to what American-born Yemeni cleric Anwar al-Awlaki called for in mid-2010 in jihadist Internet […]

Germany: “21-year-old male suspect from Kosovo” opens fire on U.S. soldiers at Frankfurt Airport, murders two

By

Probably a Kosovar pacifist Methodist driven over the edge by U.S. neocolonialist militarism. It couldn’t be an Islamic jihadist, after all — everyone knows that the Kosovar Muslims are pro-American, secular types who wouldn’t hurt a fly in the name of jihad or Islam, right? Right? “US Soldier Believed Among Dead in Killings,” from Spiegel, […]

Bishop of Islamabad on jihad murder of Christian politician: “How much more blood will it take to realise that enough is enough?”

By

Probably quite a bit more. No one in Pakistan, and certainly no one in Washington, has the courage to stand up to these jihad murderers. “Pain and sorrow of the Pakistani Church and the world over the murder of Shahbaz Bhatti,” from AsiaNews, March 2 (thanks to C. Cantoni): Islamabad (AsiaNews) — “It is a […]

Christian politician murdered in Pakistan: “I have been told by pro-Taliban religious extremists that if I will continue to speak against the blasphemy law, I will be beheaded”
