Wikileaks: Assange hiding in London mosque (UPDATE 'Muslim hub')

Wikileaks: Assange hiding in London mosque

Update: Based on a commentator tip, it looks like this is the Frontline Club, not a mosque.

Update 2: According to the journalist, he interviewed Assange in a Muslim hub/area of London, not in an Islamic center. I misread the article.


Julian Assange, the founder of Wikileaks, was interviewed by Israeli TV about a month ago. The clip is mostly in English, but can be a bit difficult to view on the site.

What I found interesting was the location of the interview: an Islamic center in London, where Assange showed up with his bodyguards. It would be interesting to know what's the connection between Assange and this mosque.

Belgium: Home-jacking murders carried out by Africans

A couple and their only son were murdered in the town of Wemmel two weeks ago, in a 'home-jacking'. The only survivor was the Turkish girlfriend of the son, who described the perpetrators as 'light-skinned Africans'. This was translated by the English language media as 'North Africans'.

There were various rumors about this being a murder ordered or carried out by the Turkish family of the girlfriend, who were not happy with her relationship.

Now that the suspects have been apprehended (NL, NL), it's clear that's not the case. One suspect, a 25 year old Belgian Congolese, was arrested the next day in Luxembourg. Two others were arrested this past week in France: Christian L. (28, Belgian citizen) and Milton R. (30, Congolese citizen). All are of sub-Saharan origin, and are most probably Christians.

Germany: Politician urges Muslims to 'keep an eye out for possible fanatics'

Via Spiegel:

Germany is on high alert after last week's terror warnings. On Thursday a conservative politician sent a strong message to the Muslim community, urging scrutiny for "possible fanatics" attending mosques. Germany's Muslim organization, however, argues that politicians' rhetoric is divisive.

German Interior Minister Thomas de Maizière has urged level-headedness in the midst of escalating terror warnings. Despite his call, politicians across the board are airing their views on how to prevent attacks. In the latest development, a politician from the Christian Social Union, the Bavarian sister party to Chancellor Angela Merkel's conservative Christian Democrtic Union, has told Muslims to stay alert, arguing that members of the country's 2,500 mosque congregations should increase their vigilance.

"Mosque communities are called on to be especially watchful and keep an eye out for possible fanatics in their ranks, in the light of the current situation," Stefan Müller, a spokesman on integration issues for the two parties in the federal parliament, told the Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung in an interview published on Thursday.

Via Deutsche Welle:

Austria's far-right Freedom Party has become the country's second-most popular party. The party, which campaigns on an anti-immigrant platform, even ranks first among voters under 30, a new poll found.

(...)

The same situation existed just over a decade ago when former leader Joerg Haider took the party into a coalition government. Before his death in a car accident, Haider campaigned on an anti-immigrant platform. And party leader Strache is tapping into the same rich vein of voters, according to political commentator Herbert Lackner.

"If the government threw out all the people that came into Austria over the past 10 or 20 years, if they would throw them all out but one, the Freedom Party would still campaign against this one single person," Lackner told Deutsche Welle. "And a 100,000 people would still believe that there are too many foreigners."

One of the most surprising results from the latest survey is the Freedom Party's popularity among young Austrians. It's the number one choice for people under 30. Strache appeals most strongly to young males, as did his predecessor Haider.

Via AKI:

A leader of Italy's Islamic community has launched an appeal to Muslims living in the northern city of Milan, urging them to vote in primaries on Sunday to elect the country's main centre-left opposition Democratic Party's leader.

The party is currently led by Pierluigi Bersani, and the primaries are an opportunity to gauge current grassroots support for his stewardship. Snap elections are looming in Italy since prime minister Silvio Berlusconi's key former ally, parliament speaker Gianfranco Fini, formed a new party this month and threatened to withdraw his support from the government.

Milan has 208,021 immigrants making up 16 percent of its population - more than double the national average of 6.5 percent, according to a September report by the Milan city council. Many of the immigrants are Muslims arriving from northern Africa.

Abdullah Paolo Gonzaga, who heads the Islamic Relief charity, has issued a call to Muslims in Italy on the Islam-Online.it website, telling them to take part in the Democratic Party primaries to elect the party leader and top regional officials.

Assaf, a 26-year-old Israeli architecture student, was eating at the cafeteria when Ibrahim Haji, a student from Gaza, came and began taunting him.

"He came towards me, punched me and said 'why are you looking at me?' I told him I wasn't looking at him, and asked him to let me eat in peace," Assaf said. "A minute later he was back, swinging a fork, and called me in front of everyone to come outside while cursing Israel and declaring his intention to kill.

Germany: Anti-Muslim book toned down

Germany: Anti-Muslim book toned down

Via Deutsche Welle:

Former central banker Thilo Sarrazin, who caused a storm in Germany in August with a controversial book on immigrant integration, has toned down the rhetoric in his treatise.

German weekly newspaper Welt am Sonntag reported Sunday that a key line in Sarrazin's book, titled "Germany is doing away with itself," has been removed from the 14th edition.

The sentence claimed that migrants from the Middle East were a "genetic minus" for Germany.

Also, the modifier "in the long term" was added to the sentence, "In demographic terms, the enormous fertility of Muslim immigrants poses a threat to the equilibrium of culture and civilization in an ageing Europe."

The changes slightly soften some of the statements that had especially upset spokesmen for the Islamic community.

Via WSJ:

We have to nail down the definition of the problem. There is no general failure to integrate. In the U.K., for example, we are not talking about Chinese or Indians. We are not talking about blacks and Asians. This is a particular problem. It is about the failure of one part of the Muslim community to resolve and create an identity that is both British and Muslim. And I stress part of it. Most Muslims are as much at ease with their citizenship in the U.K. as I am. I dare say that is true in other European nations too.

Via Malta Indepdent:

Malta’s Ambassador in Tunisia, Vicki Ann Cremona, implicitly expressed agreement with September’s French decision to ban the burka, the Muslim veil which covers women’s faces fully, when she addressed an international forum on ‘Islam, Modernity and Europe’.

The forum was organised by the Tunisian news weekly Réalités, with Dr Cremona taking part in a round-table discussion on the subject ‘Is a European Islam possible?’

She told the discussion, according to the Department of Information, that “participation in European society (also) means accepting not only the laws, but the habits and customs of the country in which one has chosen to live. Perceptions of Islam in Europe are not always very clear and are at times the result of wrong or hurried judgements.”

Other panellists included, among others, Souheib Bencheikh, former Grand Mufti of Marseilles and researcher in religious sciences; Hele Beji, university professor and writer; Mgr Maroun Lahham, Bishop of Tunis; Férid Memmiche, Tunisian intellectual; Isabelle Schaffer, lecturer at Humboldt University, Berlin; Antoine Thomas, Ambassador of Belgium to Tunisia; and Najib Zerouali Ouarith, Ambassador of Morocco to Tunisia.

The restaurant’s purpose is to provide employment for and break the social isolation of immigrant women and at the same time offer guests a selection of multinational dishes, Morgunbladid reports.

“It was my idea; I’m a genius,” laughed the project’s initiator Amal Tamimi. “There are many unemployed women here and it is a known fact that those who are unemployed are at a greater risk of becoming socially isolated, which can lead to various problems, such as anxiety, depression and social phobia.”

Netherlands: Turks suffer from not-belonging

Netherlands: Turks suffer from not-belonging

The mental health of Turks in the Netherlands is worse than that of ethnic Dutch and also of Turks in Turkey. The mental condition of Turkish women is even worse than that of men. The biggest reason for this is that Turks don't feel they belong in the Netherlands and continue to regard themselves as migrants: on their way to returning to the fatherland.

That is the conclusion of researcher Murat Can in his thesis 'Welkom thuis! De beleving van migrant zijn' (Welcome home! The experience of being a migrant), which he'll present this month at the University of Tilburg.

Can says that substantial measures are needed in order to decrease the undesirable and, he says, even potentially dangerous, distance between Dutch and Turks.

I mentioned this yesterday, but since the Iranian Press TV site insists on reporting that a bomb was found by a Dutch mosque, I thought it deserved a clarification. Last week police were called in to deal with a suspicious package (NL) which looked like a bomb. It had wires coming out of it connected to a window. But it had no explosives, and therefore police did not say that it was a "homemade bomb". Police are investigating the case, and are going to be more watchful around the mosque area.

Via WRS:

It’s been a year since the Swiss voted in a referendum to ban the construction of minarets on mosques. The result, in a country which only had four mosques with minarets and no major problems with Islamic militancy, stunned the establishment. It also shocked the Muslim community—believed to be about 400,000 strong—which had considered itself well-integrated compared to neighbouring France and Germany. On Saturday, mosques around the country opened their doors to visitors in what is becoming an annual event. WRS’s Vincent Landon paid a visit to test the mood.

The facts were the same, but in one case the theft was committed by somebody with a Belgian name, and in another it was committed by somebody with a Moroccan name. He checked what sentence the test-sample gave, and whether there was a difference whether the suspect admitted his guilt or got upset.
