RAF Pensioner Brutalized by "Death to Soldiers" shouting Muslim Thugs

Well, welcome to Jolly NU England where the elderly and young are seen as vulnerable prime prey for mounting muslim violence - what I refer to as Street Jihad. This predatory behaviour, clearly a form of hate crimes and elder abuse   must be stopped and stopped NOW - otherwise the British elderly and youngsters face the continuing threat of being seen as little more than an avenue for vile, hate-filled acts by cowardly muslim thugs.

What is wrong with us that we are allowing muslim thugs (or anyone for that matter) to spit on, torment and terrorise our elderly and disabled?? Should we tolerate living in a place where young girls and women are regularly insulted and spoken to with with disgusting lewd comments and are afraid to walk or ride in a mini-cab alone - or worse? A place where fear is keeping so many of our citizens indoors because inaction has left them feeling they have NO where or NO one to turn to for help?

How far has the mental disease of political correctness  warped the way we think and our long held values? --So much so that we fear being called a "racist" more than stopping violence against our people? How long will we all allow the altar of failed multiculturalism to be a funeral pyre on which our British customs, traditions, culture and society are tossed and slowly burn to ashes? How long will we allow slick tongued dhimmi politicians and self serving bureaucrats to sell out OUR country and people under the guise of the EU? How long will we allow our dhimmified police force to be crippled by politically correctness and treat the native population with disregard?  How long will we allow ourselves to be victimised by those who are appointed and elected to serve the will of the people yet really serve their own agendas and wallets? Aren't we delusional to believe that continuing to wait for the next election and the inevitable revolving Labour/Conservative door will change anything?

Why are so many silent when we should be shouting out that the current state of Islamisation of the UK is abhorrently WRONG, unacceptable and must cease?

How long will mosques be allowed to flourish  as grotesque examples of the victory of Islam over the Western world with minarets piercing our skies and the hearts of those of us who are proud to be the indigenous British? Even having to use the word "indigenous" to describe ourselves sticks in one's throat - isn't it like saying we are the anomaly and heading for placement on the "Endangered Species List"?

Are we?

We should all be ashamed that the picture of the below man's battered face can now be added to a the multitude of other British brutalized by violent Street Jihadists:

Pensioner wearing his old RAF jacket is headbutted by thugs shouting 'death to the soldiers'

By Daily Mail Reporter
Last updated at 1:45 PM on 11th December 2010

An ex-serviceman wearing an RAF jacket was attacked by thugs who shouted at him 'Bomb the soldiers! Death to the soldiers!'

The 69-year-old was punched and headbutted by two Asian or mixed-race attackers who spotted him in military uniform.

Paramedics took the veteran to hospital after he was left with bruising, black eyes and an injured nose following the early evening attack.

Beaten and bruised: The 69-year-old ex-serviceman, who has refused to be named, after the attack

The youths, aged between 17 and 20, shouted offensive remarks about soldiers at the white-haired pensioner and then attacked him when he responded.

The incident happened in Sherwood Street, Fallowfield, Manchester, police revealed today.

Officers today released a shocking picture of the bruised victim in a hospital bed with two black eyes after the attack.

Police Constable Michael Seddon, who is investigating the incident, said: 'This was a mindless and brutal attack on a vulnerable member of the community.

'The victim was left extremely shaken and he is still recovering from his injuries.'

One of the attackers was described as of stocky build, 5ft 6in tall, had thin braided hair and was wearing dark clothing.

The second man was chubby, 5ft 4in tall, had short shaved black hair and was wearing dark clothing.

The two men fled the scene on bicycles.

 

The ex-serviceman, who was wearing a poppy, was attacked on November 1 but police have only just released information about the incident.

In another attack on a war veteran, 90-year-old Geoff Bacon died after a thief beat him for his bus pass and £40.

The Second World War serviceman, who drove General Eisenhower in France, was jumped from behind as he entered his flat in Camberwell, London.

He died 11 weeks after the attack as a direct result of the injuries he sustained.

Muslims Desecrate Remembrance Day Poppy

Fallen and modern day soldiers who fought or fight with love of Country in their hearts are now being consistently defiled by despicable - muslim men who openly loathe the Country of their residence -England - for indeed -regardless of their place of birth - these muslim/jihadis are mere squatters who are not now nor ever will be true Englishmen - by their own choice.

Muslim hypocrites and cowards spit venom about the English people yet they boldly sponge off these same infidels soaking up hard earned taxdollars to pay for their muslim work-shy existence. Thus these jihadis are free to spend full time spreading their hatred, protesting and provoking - the most recent example is the symbolic burning of the Remembrance Day Poppy. (see below)

They are the enemy within - whose - one should point out - ancestors sided with the Nazis in World War II - and now the EU is opening up the floodgates to the decendents of these same Nazi collaborators -facilitating more invading muslim hoardes to descend upon Great Britain.

Meanwhile - modern day patriots are either banned from protesting or demonized when they want to peacefully assemble and demonstrate against the rampant Islamization of Great Britain.

Millions fall silent to mark Remembrance Day as Muslim extremists burn poppies

Flashpoint: Muslims Against Crusade burn a replica poppy in Kensington

Prince Philip laid a cross in Westminster Abbey's Field of Remembrance this morning as millions paid silent tribute to the nation's war dead - but police had to intervene elsewhere in London as Muslim protesters burned a model of a poppy.

Riot police were out in force in Kensington to stop any possible confrontation with around 70 English Defence League protesters who held a counter-demonstration chanting anti-Islamic slogans.

A group called Muslims Against Crusade, which drew around 30 supporters, was carrying black flags and chanted slogans such as “British soldiers burn in hell”. An EDL protester was arrested after he tried to break through police lines.

Abu Rayah, from east London, said his group were protesting against the oppression by the Government. He said: “We're here today because people talk about all this patriotism but people in Afghanistan want Sharia and the soldiers keep dropping cluster bombs on our people and it's like they just want us dead. We want British and American troops out of Afghanistan now.”

English Defence League protester Clive Donnellan, 49, a construction manager said: “The MAC could have chosen a more sensitive day to protest. They are preaching hate and although it's great to have free speech this shouldn't be happening today. They can come down any other day and say what they think.”

The rest of the capital fell silent for two minutes at 11am to mark Armistice Day and the 92nd anniversary of the return of peace at the end of the First World War. Many gathered at the Cenotaph in Whitehall and there were poignant scenes at Wootton Bassett, the Wiltshire town through which Britain's dead from Afghanistan have been brought since 2007.

The Duke of Edinburgh, 89, who served as a Royal Navy officer during the Second World War, also visited the grave of the Unknown Warrior, 90 years after the soldier's coffin was interred in the abbey.

The field, set up by the Royal British Legion, has been filled with hundreds of small wooden crosses, each bearing the name of a lost loved one, a poppy and often a message of commemoration. The crosses grouped in dozens of plots representing regiments, ships and air corps involved in conflicts from the First World War to Iraq and Afghanistan. Today's ceremony was watched by many armed forces veterans.

At the Cenotaph, the Archbishop of Canterbury was joined by defence ministers, representatives of military associations, veterans and school

 

The Magnificent Seven - Hero Dogs That Saved Hundreds During The Blitz

I've always believed one of the most 'telling' characteristics regarding muslims is their hypocritical relationship with dogs - muslims believe dogs are unclean - even guide and other service dogs -  yet - 98% of the [despicable] dog-fighting rings in the UK are headed by muslim men.

Telling indeed.

As I've proclaimed in the past - I am a BIG dog lover so I can't pass up a good dog(s) story.  My current best mates are two English bull terriers, but I have owned German Shepherd (Alsatian) dogs & English Setter dogs in the past. Each breed unique in intelligence, personality and traits.

Whether a 'purebred' or mongrel  - dogs have been responsible for super-heroic feats throughout history........ thus we have 'The Magnificent Seven' of WWII fame shown below.

Where would we be without our dogs?

The Magnificent Seven: Hero dogs that saved hundreds during the Blitz are honoured

In the canine world they are the Magnificent Seven – the dogs that helped us survive the Blitz.

As the bombs fell on London they scoured the rubble of ruined buildings, finding hundreds of survivors for rescue teams.

When the Second World War ended, each was awarded the Dickin Medal for uncommon valour, the four-legged equivalent of a Victoria Cross and the highest honour bestowed by the charity the People’s Dispensary for Sick Animals.

Now, in the 70th anniversary year of the Blitz, all seven are to be remembered in a PDSA roll of honour.

PETER: COLLIE CROSS

Peter: Passed search-dog training with distintion

His owners signed him over to the War Office in the hope he might help on the Home Front. He passed search-dog training with distinction and went on to locate a succession of victims trapped in or under bombed buildings.

His most triumphant moment came when he saved the life of a small boy in Chelsea after one of the last flying bomb attacks on London.

Recognition came when the Civil Defence was formally stood down at a parade in Hyde Park.

RIP: MONGREL TERRIER

Rip: Rescued more than 100 people

A stray adopted by an air raid warden unit after being bombed out of his London dockland home.

They couldn’t stop him becoming a search and rescue dog – it seemed he did it for the enjoyment.

In 12 months between 1940 and 1941, he rescued more than 100 people from the air-raid ruins. He carried on the good work for another four years.

JET: ALSATIAN

Jet: Called out every night until the end of the air attacks in the capital

Jet of Lada, to give him his full pedigree, was born in Liverpool to celebrated breeder Mrs Babcock Cleaver.

He attended ‘war dog’ school in Gloucester from the age of nine months and was initially stationed in Northern Ireland, later distinguishing himself in anti-sabotage work for the Government.

When he was rebased in London, he became one of the most successful rescue dogs of the war, called out every night until the end of the air attacks on the capital.

BEAUTY: WIRE HAIRED FOX TERRIER

Pioneered a special squad to locate and rescue trapped animals despite never being trained for a wartime role.

Her owner Bill Barnett, a PDSA superintendent, used to take her on patrol with him when he toured the East End with a Civil Defence unit. She rescued 63 animals overall.

Beauty: Pioneered a special squad to locate and rescue trapped animals

IRMA: ALSATIAN

Irma trained at the Ministry of Aircraft Production Dog School and is credited with saving hundreds of lives.

Her ability to locate victims through the most dense and difficult obstacles constantly astounded her handlers. 

Irma: Ability to locate victims constantly astounded her handlers

After one air raid she insisted she had found life under a collapsed house, and refused to budge.

After a day, rescuers pulled two young girls alive from the ruins.

THORN: ALSATIAN

Thorn came from a distinguished line of search and rescue dogs.

He was spectacularly fearless and happy to dash into blazing buildings to do his sniffer duty inside.

He once found a family trapped under a burning house.

How he detected their scent baffled rescuers – but they got the family out alive. 

'Outstanding good work': Alsatians Rex, left, and Thorn

REX: ALSATIAN

Rex was described by Civil Defence authorities as having done ‘outstanding good work’ during the years he worked to the end of the war in 1945.

They said he ‘displayed uncanny intelligence and outstanding determination in his efforts to follow up any scent which led him to a trapped casualty’.

 

The Real Reason They Hate Us

Cross post from Center for Security Policy web site - written about the USA but applicable to all Western nations where muslims have immigrated.

The real reason they hate us

American Legion Magazine | Apr 09, 2010
By Frank Gaffney, Jr.

For the first time in its history, the United States is trying to wage and win a war without accurately identifying the enemy or its motivations for seeking to destroy us. That oversight defies both common sense and past military experience, and it disarms us in what may be the most decisive theater of this conflict: the battle of ideas.

Such a breakdown may seem incredible to veterans of past military conflicts. Imagine fighting World War II without clarity about Nazism and fascism, or the Cold War without an appreciation of Soviet communism and the threat it posed.

Yet today, the civilian leaders of this country and their senior subordinates - responsible for the U.S. military, the intelligence community, homeland security and federal law enforcement - have systematically failed to fully realize that we once again face a totalitarian ideology bent on our destruction. 

That failure is the more worrisome since the current ideological menace is arguably more dangerous than any we have faced in the past, for two reasons. First, its adherents believe their mission of global conquest is divinely inspired. Second, they are here in the United States in significant numbers, not just a threat elsewhere around the world.

What, then, is this ideology? It has been given many names in recent years, including political Islam, radical Islam, fundamentalist Islam, extremist Islam and Islamofascism. There is, however, a more accurate descriptor - the one its adherents use. They call it "Shariah."

Perhaps the most important thing to understand about Shariah is that it is authoritative Islam, which presents itself as a complete way of life - cultural, political, military, social and religious, all governed by the same doctrine. In other words, this comprehensive program is not simply the agenda of extremists hunkered down in caves in Afghanistan or Pakistan. Neither can its directives be attributed to deviants hijacking Islam. 

Rather, Shariah - which translates from Arabic as "path to God" - is actually binding law. It is taught as such by the most revered sacred texts, traditions, institutions, top academic centers, scholars and leaders of the Islamic faith. Fortunately, hundreds of millions of Muslims around the world do not wish to live under a brutally repressive, woman-demeaning, barbaric and totalitarian program. Such Muslims are potentially our allies, just as those who do adhere to Shariah are our unalterable foes.

The immutability of Shariah-adherent Muslim  hostility toward the rest of us derives directly from the central tenet of Shariah: Muslims are explicitly required to seek the triumph of Islam over all other faiths, peoples and governments.

The ultimate objective of Shariah is the establishment of a global Islamic state - Sunni Muslims call it "the caliphate" - governed by Shariah. The means by which this political outcome is to be achieved is called "jihad."

Since 9/11, many Americans have become unhappily acquainted with the terrifying, violent strain of jihad. Under Shariah, violence - often described by non-Muslims as "terrorism" - is the preferred means of securing the spread and dominion of Islam, as it is the most efficient. 

While Shariah deems jihad to be the personal obligation of every faithful Muslim capable of performing it - man or woman, young or old - they can forgo the violent form when it is deemed impracticable. In such circumstances, the struggle can be pursued through means that are, at least temporarily, non-violent. Taken together, the latter constitute what renowned author and expert Robert Spencer calls "stealth jihad." Adherents to Shariah call it "dawah."

Examples of stealth jihadism abound in Western societies, notably Europe and increasingly in the United States. They include the demand for symbolic and substantive accommodations in political, economic and legal areas (for example, special treatment or rights for Muslims in the workplace, in public spaces and by government); the opportunity to penetrate and influence operations against government at every level; and the insinuation of the Trojan horse of "Shariah-compliant finance" into the West's capital markets.

If stealth jihad seems less threatening than terrorism, the objective is exactly the same as that of violent jihad: the subjugation to the Dar al-Islam (House of Islam) of all non-Islamic states that, like the United States, make up the Dar al-harb (House of War). It follows that those who seek ostensibly to impose Shariah through non-violent techniques - notably in the West, the organization known as the Muslim Brotherhood - are our enemies every bit as much as those who overtly strive to defeat us by murderous terrorism.

Many Western elites, including the Obama administration, have been seduced by the seemingly benign quality of the Muslim Brotherhood. In fact, we know from the 2008 prosecution of the Holy Land Foundation - the largest terrorism-financing trial in U.S. history - that the Muslim Brothers' mission in the United States is "a kind of grand jihad to destroy Western civilization from within ... by their own miserable hands."

Another Brotherhood document, titled "The Rulers," was seized in a 2004 raid and describes how the organization will try to overthrow the U.S. Constitution in five phases:

• Phase I: Discreet and secret establishment of elite leadership
• Phase II: Gradual appearance on the public scene, and exercising and utilizing various public activities
• Phase III: Escalation, prior to conflict and confrontation with the rulers, through the massmedia
• Phase IV: Open public confrontation with the government through the exercise of political pressure
• Phase V: Seizing power to establish an Islamic nation, under which all parties and Islamic groups will become united

"The Rulers" makes plain that all the above-mentioned phases "are preliminary steps to reach the (fifth) phase."

The Muslim Brothers know that by masking their ideological agenda as a religious program, they can use Western civil liberties and tolerance as weapons in their stealthy jihad. For this strategy to succeed, however, they must suppress any discussion or understanding of the true nature of Shariah. 

Adherents to Shariah insist that their law prohibits any slander against Islam or Muhammad. Under such a catch-all restriction, virtually any kind of conversation about - or critique of - Islam can be considered impermissible if Muslims find it offensive. Particularly in Europe, the ever-present prospect of violence, like that which followed the September 2005 publication of Danish cartoons poking fun at Muhammad, is generally sufficient to induce self-censorship.

In this country, the application of such prohibitions seems unthinkable, given the guarantees of free speech enshrined in the Constitution's First Amendment. Unfortunately, the Obama administration last year co-sponsored with Egypt a relevant and deeply problematic resolution in the U.N. Human Rights Council, promoted for years by the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC), a group of 57 Muslim-majority nations that stridently embraces Shariah and seeks to legitimate and promote its advance around the world. 

The resolution calls on members of the United Nations to prohibit statements that offend Islam. It also calls for criminal penalties to be applied to those who make such statements. 

The U.S. implementation of such a resolution would obviously be a matter not just for the executive branch, which supported it, but for Congress and the judiciary as well. It is a safe bet that any formal effort to supplant the First Amendment in this way would meet with great resistance.

To a stunning degree, U.S. leaders have been effectively conforming to Shariah slander laws for some time now.  For instance, presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama have both repeatedly described Islam as a "religion of peace," without acknowledging the requirement for jihad its authorities demand, pursuant to Shariah. 

At the Muslim Brotherhood's insistence, the Department of Homeland Security and the State Department have barred the use of perfectly accurate terms like "Islamic terrorism." The U.S. government has also embraced the Muslim Brothers' disinformation by translating jihad as nothing more than "striving in the path of God."

Under the Bush and Obama administrations, the favored name for the enemy has been "violent extremism" - a formulation that neither offers clarity about the true nature of our foe nor lends itself to a prescription for a successful countervailing strategy. Even when al-Qaeda is identified as the enemy, it is almost always accompanied by an assurance that its operatives and allies have "corrupted" Islam. Ignored, or at least earnestly obscured, are two unhappy realities: such enemies are implementing Shariah's dictates to the letter of the law, and they have millions of fellow adherents around the world who view Islam's requirements the same way.

One of the most egregious examples of this practice of unilateral disarmament in the battle of ideas is the January report of the independent review of the Fort Hood massacre, co-chaired by former Army Secretary Togo West and former Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Vernon Clark. Their 86-page unclassified analysis purported to dissect an event allegedly perpetrated by Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan - a medical officer whose business card described him as "Soldier of Allah," whose briefings justified murder of his comrades in the name of jihad, and who shouted the Islamic martyr's cry "Allahu Akbar!" ("God is great!") as he opened fire, killing 13. Incredibly, the words "Islam," "Islamic terror," "Shariah," "jihad," and "Muslim Brotherhood" were not used even once in the West-Clark report.

Such political correctness, or willful blindness up the chain of command, doubtless caused Hasan's colleagues to keep silent about his alarming beliefs, lest they be punished for expressing concerns about them. Now, reportedly, six of them have been designated as the scapegoats for what is manifestly an institutional failure.

The painful truth is that however we rationalize this sort of behavior, our Shariah-adherent enemies correctly perceive it as evidence of submission, which is the literal meaning of the word "Islam," and what Shariah demands of everyone, Muslim and non-Muslim alike. 

Indeed, Shariah offers non-believers only three choices: conversion to Islam, submission (known as dhimmitude) or death. Historically, dhimmitude was imposed through successful Muslim conquests. In more recent years, tolerant Western nations have increasingly succumbed to stealthy jihadism, backed by more or less direct threats of violence. 

That trend, worrying as it is, may be giving way in this country to a new campaign: jihad of the sword. The past year saw a fourfold increase in the number of actual or attempted terrorist attacks in the United States. Sadly, that statistic will likely be surpassed in the year ahead. Four of the nation's top intelligence officials have testified before Congress that it is certain new acts of violence will be undertaken in the next three to six months. Worse yet, a blue-ribbon commission has calculated that the probability of the use of weapons of mass destruction somewhere in the world by 2013 is now over 50 percent.

Is this dramatic upsurge in violent jihad directed at the United States unrelated to our behavior? Or does it reflect a growing calculation on the part of our Shariah-adherent enemies that violence against the United States is now, once again, practicable? 

Either way, the time has clearly come to make a far more serious effort to defeat both the violent and stealthy forms of jihad being waged against this country. If we are to do so, however, we have to start by telling the truth. 

Our enemy is not "violent extremism," or even al-Qaeda alone. Rather, it is the millions of Muslims who - like the Muslim Brotherhood, al-Qaeda and their allies - adhere to Shariah and who, therefore, believe they must impose it on the rest of us.

We are at war with such individuals and organizations. Not because we want to be. Not because of policies toward Israel or the Middle East or anything else we have pursued in recent years. Rather, we are at war with them because they must wage jihad against us, pursuant to the dictates of Shariah, the same law that has guided many in Islam for some 1,200 years. 

What is at stake in this war? Look no further than The American Legion's Americanism Manual, which defines Americanism as "love of America; loyalty to her institutions as the best yet devised by man to secure life, liberty, individual dignity and happiness; and the willingness to defend our country and Flag against all enemies, foreign and domestic." 

Such values cannot coexist with Shariah, which demands the destruction of democratic nations like the United States, its governing institutions and liberties. Shariah would supplant them with a repressive, transnational, theocratic government abroad and at home.

The extraordinary reality is that none of this - the authoritative and malevolent nature of Shariah, its utter incompatibility with our civilization, and its adherents' determination to force us to convert, submit or die - is concealed from those willing to learn the truth. To the contrary, the facts are widely available via books, the Internet, DVDs and mosques, both here and overseas. Interestingly, on Dec. 1, 2005, Gen. Peter Pace, then-chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, called on his troops to expose themselves to precisely this sort of information: "I say you need to get out and read what our enemies have said. Remember Hitler. Remember he wrote ‘Mein Kampf.' He said in writing exactly what his plan was, and we collectively ignored that to our great detriment. Now, our enemies have said publicly on film, on the Internet, their goal is to destroy our way of life. No equivocation on their part."

As it happens, Maj. Stephen Coughlin, a lawyer and Army Reserves intelligence specialist recruited by the Joint Chiefs to be their expert on the doctrine and jurisprudence of jihad, took Pace's admonition to heart. He wrote a master's thesis inspired by the chairman's quote, titled "To Our Great Detriment: Ignoring What Extremists Say About Jihad." 

Coughlin's briefings explicitly and repeatedly warned military leaders of the enemy's "threat doctrine" - drawing from, among Islamic texts, passages the Fort Hood suspect used to justify his massacre. Unfortunately, engaging in such analysis, let alone acting on it, was powerfully discouraged in January 2008 when Coughlin was dismissed from the Joint Staff after he ran afoul of a Muslim Brother then working for Deputy Secretary of Defense Gordon England.

In short, we are today confronted by the cumulative effect of a sustained and collective dereliction of duty, one that is putting our country in extreme peril. Our armed forces - like their counterparts in the intelligence community, Department of Homeland Security and law enforcement - have a professional duty to know the enemy and develop appropriate responses to the threat doctrine. If this dereliction is allowed to persist, it is predictable that more Americans will die, both on foreign battlefields and at home.

The American people also need to become knowledgeable about the threat of Shariah and insist that action be taken at federal, state and local levels to keep our country Shariah-free. This toxic ideology, if left unchecked, can destroy the country and institutions that are, indeed, "the best yet devised by man to secure life, liberty, individual dignity and happiness."

Public campaign brings soldier's mascot dog from Afghanistan to UK

A real 'feel good' story:

Afghan hound is saved from the frontline by public campaign after five years on patrol

Last updated at 3:59 AM on 27th March 2010

He spent five years patrolling alongside British troops in Afghanistan, surviving gun battles and explosions.

Tangye the labrador was bought from a local family as a puppy before being adopted by C Company, 3rd Battalion The Rifles, and becoming a popular companion for the soldiers, who called him 'fearless under fire'.

Now he is starting a new life in Britain after an astonishing public campaign to save him from the dangers of the frontline.

New life: Tangye in the kennels after being brought to the frontline

There had been concerns that he could be killed by a landmine or even targeted by Taliban snipers in an effort to lower British morale.

In January, a Facebook campaign was set up by Labrador Links Rescue, an online forum run by Natalie Pomroy, 39, from Essex.

The campaign quickly attracted more than 5,000 members and, with the help of a charity called Labrador Retriever Rescue Southern England and volunteers, raised the £5,000 needed to pay for the dog's safe passage to Britain.

LRRSE then teamed up with British charity Nowzad Dogs, which rescues war-afflicted animals in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Nowzad looked after Tangye in Afghanistan and arranged his transport once the funds were raised. LRRSE will now take care of him in the UK.

Such was Tangye's popularity that he became a mascot and source of morale for the men of C Company.

Lance Corporal Brent Meheux said: 'When the lads were under fire he would run up and down the line barking and wagging his tail. It was like he was shouting encouragement.'

On his way home: Tangye starts his journey from Kajaki in Helmand back to Britain after concerns he might step on a mine

A spokesman for 3rd Battalion added: 'He accompanied almost every patrol with the riflemen and had probably completed more patrols than even the most experienced soldier.'

But Jean Henman of LRRSE said: 'He would run ahead of them on patrols and they were getting worried he'd step on an improvised explosive device.

'The war was just a game to him. He's the kind of dog that would run and pick up your grenade if you threw it and bring it back to you.'

Tangye, who was named after a village near forward operating base Zeebrugge at Kajaki in Helmand Province, where he lived, left Kajaki by boat before being flown to Britain on Wednesday and transported to quarantine kennels.

He will spend six months there and if given the all-clear will then be found adoptive owners.

 

Muslim thug who spat on WWII Hero's Medals Escapes Jail

NO suprise that we have another sickening blatant example of the British judiciary system going soft on muslim thugs.  Iraqi, Serwan Abdullah, 23, another muslim-sorry-excuse-for-a-man spat on a World War II hero's medals, worn by his proud grandson, on Remembrance Day. After committing the abhorrent and unprovoked act - the cowardly Abdullah quickly ran away.

Abdullah tried to make the ludicrous claim he had been spit on first in a "racist" attack - likely because such fictitous victimhood (aka {myth of} Islamophobia) usually works to the advantage  of muslims.

The smirking Serwan Abdullah consistently voiced no remorse or sorrow for his despicable act:

"Abdullah showed no remorse and told officers he had done ‘nothing wrong’ adding: ' ‘I am proud of what I have done. I have no respect for him. F*** him and f*** his medals.’"

The magistrate gave serial criminal, Abdullah, no jail time for what was clearly a hate crime - nor was he required to go to 'diversity' classes or apologize to the victim.

"Yesterday, magistrate Stuart Chittenden told Abdullah his offence was 'abhorrent to society' as he ordered him to pay £200 and carry out 240 hours’ unpaid work."

Thus Serwan Abdullah, and others of his ilk, will continue to smirk.

Iraqi yob who spat on WWII hero's medals escapes jail

'Disrespect': Serwan Abdullah leaving court yesterday

An Iraqi-born yob who spat on a World War II hero's medals on Remembrance Day yesterday escaped jail.

Serwan Abdullah, 23, targeted Timothy House while he was wearing his late grandfather’s honours after a commemorative parade.

Mr House, 44, who was recovering from a broken hip and was also looking after a 91-year-old wheelchair-bound veteran when the attack happened, said he was left ‘outraged and very angry’.

Abdullah spat at Mr House as he chatted to friends outside a pub after the Memorial Day service in Portsmouth, Hampshire last year. He then ran off.

When he was interviewed, Abdullah showed no remorse and told officers he had done ‘nothing wrong’ adding: ‘F*** him and f*** his medals.’

Yesterday, magistrate Stuart Chittenden told Abdullah his offence was 'abhorrent to society' as he ordered him to pay £200 and carry out 240 hours’ unpaid work.

Abdullah was also placed under a 12-month supervision order, which means he has to report to probation officers on a regular basis.

The medals Mr House was wearing were awarded to former paratrooper Company Sgt Major Steadman who fought at Dunkirk and in North Africa.

During an illustrious career he was awarded an array of medals including the Palestine Medal, The Africa Star, The Italy Star and the 1939-1945 Star.

In a statement read at Portsmouth Magistrates' Court yesterday, Mr House said: ‘This is one of the most important days of the year for me because my grandfather fought in Word War II.

‘Since he died in 1991 I have always worn his medals for him. I have been attending Remembrance Day parades for as long as I can remember.’

Mr House said Abdullah was with another man when the attack happened.

Mr House said: ‘I didn't know what was happening but as one of the men walked past me he turned to me and spat. His saliva made contact with my grandfather's medals.

‘I was outraged and immediately became very angry because this was completely unprovoked.

‘I could not believe the lack of respect he had shown.’

Tribute: Timothy House was wearing his grandfather Company Sgt Major Sam Steadman's (pictured) medals at the time of the attack

When he was interviewed by officers, Abdullah admitted spitting but claimed Mr House had spat at him first in a ‘racist attack’.

Abdullah added: ‘I am proud of what I have done. I have no respect for him. F*** him and f*** his medals.’

Simon Moger, defending, said Abdullah now fully accepted that what he did was not self defence.

The court heard he had previous convictions for shoplifting, failure to comply with a community order, battery and criminal damage.

Magistrate Mr Chittenden ordered Abdullah, of Portsmouth, to pay £100 compensation to Mr House and £100 in court costs.

He said: ‘The offence you have been convicted of is particularly abhorrent to society.’

Company Sgt Major Steadman joined the Army at the age of just 15.

He was the first man in his company to be awarded The Military Medal.

Mr House's mother Judy Keenan, 68, said she was ‘very angry and hurt’ about the incident with her father's medals.

She said: ‘When it first happened my son didn't tell me about it because he knew how upset I would be about it.

‘When I did find out I was very angry at first but then very hurt - my dad was a hero and deserved more respect than this.’

Falklands veteran Chris Purcell, a parade martial with the Royal British Legion in Portsmouth, described Abdullah's actions as 'despicable’.

The 50-year-old former petty officer said: ‘To spit on the medals of a man who fought for our country is disgusting. It's a huge insult.

‘Everyone in this country should be able to wear their medals and the medals of their relatives with pride.’

Big Allah is Watching - Huge Mega Mosque to Overlook Sandhurst

Absolutely outrageous and MUST be STOPPED!

Defence chiefs fight plans to build £3m giant mosque that 'will loom over Sandhurst'

By Dan Newling

Generals are trying to block plans to build a mosque with two 100ft minarets next to Sandhurst.

The £3million building would have a clear view over the military academy and is just 400 yards from its parade ground.

Senior officers oppose the project saying it could pose a security threat to cadets.

Objection: The MoD, backed by a petition signed by 7,000 local residents, is fighting plans to build a giant mosque overlooking Sandhurst

Yesterday an Army source said: 'This has gone right to the top of the chain of command.

'There is very real concern that if this thing gets built then soldiers could be put at risk.

'It is outrageous to even think that the officers of the future would have to watch their backs while they are still in training.'

Hundreds of newly-commissioned Army officers take to the parade ground each year for the academy's passing out ceremony.

The event attracts senior members of the Royal Family, including the Queen when her grandson Prince Harry was commissioned in 2006.

Security threat: The Queen and other senior members of the royal family are regular visitors to Sandhurst

The gigantic mosque is the idea of the Bengali Welfare Association, which worships at the al-Kharafi Islamic Centre in Camberley, Surrey.

The group wants to demolish a listed Victorian school building in use as a mosque at the centre and replace it with a sprawling Saudi Arabian-style building.

Planning papers reveal that the massive structure would tower over local buildings.

As well as the two minarets, it would feature a large central dome, five smaller outlying domes, a morgue, a library and a separate worship area for women.

The first attempt at securing planning approval led to objections from 1,000 locals. Planning officers were also opposed but Conservative-dominated Surrey Heath gave the mosque the go-ahead last month.

However, a procedural error means the application now needs to go to a full council meeting for approval.

Plan: The new mosque will be built on the site of a Victorian former school, which has been used as an Islamic centre for the last 14 years

And the Ministry of Defence - which initially had no objections - has its mind to insist that the minarets are not built.

Local MEP Nigel Farage of UKIP, who is battling the plans, said: 'I am appalled that a local council can totally ignore the wishes of the overwhelming majority of the electorate of Camberley and overturn the recommendations of planning officers.

'This building is quite simply inappropriate and gives rise to genuine security concerns.

'I know that senior military officers are extremely concerned about this. It simply cannot be allowed to go ahead.'

Alan Kirkland, a local campaigner, said: 'Local people are simply flabbergasted that 100ft high minarets can be built right next to the Royal Military Academy.

'There is obviously a security risk and there is no way that it should be built.'

A Ministry of Defence spokesman said: 'Defence Estates has objected to the plans as such a tall building would give oversight into Defence property which could prove a security risk.'

 

Bomb Sniffing Search Dog - Treo - Given 'Victoria Cross'

As most of my readers know I am a BIG dog lover - my two English Bull Terriers are my two best mates.  I have been outraged at any stories of the mistreatment of dogs particularly in the use of dogs for fighting --- of which 98% of dogfighting in Britain is lead by muslims.

I am also very concerned that the USA military is sending hundreds of trained bomb sniffing dogs to Iraq. It is well know that muslims view dogs as filthy animals -even if the dogs are being used to insure safety -  so the US military needs to make absolutely sure that the continued care and well being of these dogs is tantamount.

On a positive note -- whilst Islam invades the lives of non-muslims from the cradle to the grave  - that hasn't stopped many of Man's Best Friends from being a heroes - and fortunately it hasn't yet stopped Great Britain from recognizing one very heroic military dog. 

Will it always be so?

Heroic search dog to be given 'Victoria Cross' for finding roadside bombs in Afghanistan

An Army search dog that has saved the lives of scores of British soldiers in Afghanistan is to receive the canine equivalent of the Victoria Cross.

Treo, an eight-year-old black labrador, has spent the past five years sniffing out bombs and weapons hidden by the Taliban.

Yet as a puppy he was a badly behaved rebel in danger of being put down until intensive Army training turned him into the gutsy canine described by his handler, Sergeant Dave Heyhoe, as the best military dog he has served alongside.

Best friends: Sergeant Dave Heyhoe with Treo in the Afghan desert

Now Treo is to be honoured with the Dickin Medal from the People’s Dispensary for Sick Animals for his conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty.

It will be placed around his neck this month by the charity’s patron, Princess Alexandra.

Treo’s heroics include finding a ‘daisy chain’ improvised explosive device (IED) while working as a forward detection dog in Sangin, Helmand Province, in March 2008.

A daisy chain is two or more bombs wired together and concealed by the Taliban on the side of a path to maximise casualties among soldiers on patrol.

Hero: Twice the dog saved soldiers and civilians from death and injury by sniffing out explosives which had been wired together and hidden

Hard at work: Sergeant Heyhoe will accompany Treo to collect his prestigious award in London

In September 2008, Treo saved another platoon from guaranteed casualties when he again found a daisy chain.

According to the Army, his actions have also saved other soldiers and civilians from death or serious injury.

Both Prince Charles and Gordon Brown have been introduced to the labrador on his return to Britain from his many six-month tours of duty.

The Dickin medal. The award was introduced by PDSA founder Maria Dickin in 1943

Treo is attached to 104 Military Working Dog Support Unit, Royal Army Veterinary Corps.

Sgt Heyhoe, 39, who will accompany Treo to the award ceremony at the Imperial War Museum in London, described Treo as his ‘mate and best canine friend’.

PDSA director general Jan McLoughlin said last night: ‘We look forward to honouring Treo with the Dickin Medal.

'It is recognised throughout the world as the animals’ Victoria Cross. Treo is without doubt a worthy recipient.’

Treo will become the 63rd animal to receive the Dickin Medal for wartime service.

Since its introduction by the PDSA’s founder, Maria Dickin, in 1943, it has been given to 26 other dogs, 32 Second World War messenger pigeons, three horses and one cat.

In February 2007, two Dickin Medals were awarded – one posthumously to Lucky on behalf of all the anti-terrorist dogs on duty during the Malaya campaign in the Fifties; and another to Sadie, an Army explosives search dog, for bravery in Afghanistan in 2005 alongside her handler, Lance Corporal Karen Yardley.

A Defence source said last night: ‘There is no doubt that Treo has saved many

 

Colorado Sheriff's Joke Causes Muslim Woman's 'hurt feelings'

Some quick comments:

Oh here we go again - a poor muslim suffering from hurt feelings - oh the inhumanity of it all!!!!!  Now a voluntary Christmas tree trimming party is "politically incorrect" and Larimer County Sheriff Jim Alderden's joke has caused hurt feelings to a muslim woman who chooses to remain unnamed!

You know what I think is politically incorrect? - having people come into or live in the USA (or Great Britain or any other Christian nation) and tell us our Judeo/Christian traditions are 'politically incorrect' then go on to force our public schools and buildings to be rebuilt to accomodate their medieval religion/customs with footbaths, special toilets they can squat on, separate swimming/pool times for boys/men and girls/women, halal meals, and prayer rooms that are quickly turned into mosques thus no other faith can use it - otherwise the room are defiled- etc etc/ 

Then this woman goes on to spout the typical, over-used twaddle:

"We can't let our religion be hijacked by extremists," she said.

Oh really??

Why there are 1.5 BILLION  muslims in the world  including the supposedly small number of extremists - so the extremists are clearly outnumbered by moderate muslims therefore why don't the moderates eradicate those who do not represent them and threaten their countries and people? - those who cause bloodshed and terrorism?  Instead these "mainstream" muslims trot out the above statement (or facsimile) as some kind of shield that protects them from the truth & reality.  Ask a muslim man or woman the above question and don't hold your breath waiting for an answer.

Especially when the true feelings of many muslims is voiced again by this unnamed 'volunteer" who also suffers from unverified "threats" (from who??) :

 "an elected official jesting about the killing of Muslims goes beyond politically incorrect."

Surely US Marines helping to eliminate the "muslim extremists" would be welcome by 'moderate' muslims who are angry these 'extremists' are "hyjacking their religion & killing their people". 

But no - they/she view them as one of her own = muslim............

So which one is it?

Hear the doublespeak?

Sheriff's Muslim jokes draw concerns

Article:

A volunteer for the nonprofit Muslims Against Hunger group is not upset Larimer County Sheriff Jim Alderden plans to hold a Christmas tree-trimming party - an event Alderden proudly calls politically incorrect.

But the woman, a Muslim who lives in Northern Colorado, is concerned about a comment Alderden made while giving a speech at a Marine Corps Ball last month. The sheriff briefly posted a transcript of the speech on his Web site.

In the speech, Alderden joked about bumper stickers and highlighted one which read, "U.S. Marines: Travel agents to Allah."

The speech has been removed from the sheriff's Web site, and he declined to comment about the speech.

9NEWS also asked a dozen former Marines who heard his speech for their thoughts. None of them wanted to be quoted.

The woman, whose name is not being published because she has received threats, said an elected official jesting about the killing of Muslims goes beyond politically incorrect.

"Anytime you put someone down, whether it's for religion or race or anything, it doesn't just hurt the individual, it actually hurts the community where we live, and it's really not time to start doing things like this," she said.

The Muslim-American community contributes much to society, she said, and she also pointed out Muslim-American soldiers have died in the current wars while fighting for the United States.

"We're proud to be in this country," she said.

Cases like that of Nidal Malik Hasan, the man accused of shooting fellow soldiers at Fort Hood, are the exception rather than the rule, she said.

"We can't let our religion be hijacked by extremists," she said.
