Following the fire-bombing of its offices Charlie Hebdo is back in action with a huge increase in circulation...

From the BBC...

..."French satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo has said it plans a big reprint of its edition mocking Islamists, days after its offices in Paris were fire-bombed.

Its editor, Stephane Charbonnier, told Reuters news agency it planned to print 175,000 extra copies, after its first print run of 75,000 sold out fast..."

Turkish connection with the hacking of the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo...

It remains off-line cos the hosting company has received death threats.

A Turkish group calling itself Akincilar, which has also attacked Israeli, Armenian and Kurdish sites in the past has claimed responsibility for the hacking, saying it was done ... "IN DEFENCE OF TURKISH VALUES" !

Presumably Turkish values include destroying the freedoms of the press.

Regretfully Facebook, presumably giving in to pressure from our usual suspect friends, is threatening to close down the Charlie Hebdo page.

... which would be a deplorable capitulation to the dark forces who would like to see our freedoms of expression destroyed... :evil:

Kosovo native plotted bombings, bloodshed in Tampa, feds say

(CNN) -- A 25-year-old Florida man intended to use explosives and weapons "to create mayhem'" in Tampa -- a plot that authorities say was foiled thanks to the local Muslim community and law enforcement -- a U.S. attorney said Monday.

"When a person's got an AK-47 which he believes is operable, when he has explosives which he believes are real, and when he has an explosive pack and a car bomb which ... he is going to utilize against Americans, that makes it a crime," Robert O'Neill, U.S. attorney for the Middle District of Florida, told reporters. "Was it real? It was very real."

O'Neill spoke Monday in Tampa after an afternoon hearing for Sami Osmakac on one count of attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction.

The 25-year-old naturalized American born in Kosovo planned a car bombing that would be followed by hostage-taking and the explosion of a suicide belt he planned to wear, according to a criminal complaint made public Monday.

"We all have to die, so why not die the Islamic way?" Osmakac allegedly told an undercover FBI employee, according to the complaint.

'Honor killings' in Canada: 5 responses to the Shafia verdict

A Canadian court found two Afghan immigrants and their son guilty of murder on Sunday in the so-called “honor killings” of four female family members. An “honor killing” is loosely defined as the killing of a relative, especially a girl or woman, who is believed to have brought dishonor to the family through actions such as dressing promiscuously, premarital sex, or eloping.

Muslims and Arabs are the biggest cowards out with their cowardly attacks on civillians left right and centre, thank God gallant Israel isn't afraid to put these low lifes in their place.
Israel should get the Nobel prize for peace for trying to stabalise the middle east.
