French MPs back burka ban as only ONE votes against bid to outlaw Islamic 'walking coffins'
 

French MPs today overwhelmingly voted to ban the burka after a senior minister described it as a ‘walking coffin’ and a ‘muzzle’.

Only one deputy opposed the bill in the National Assembly as 335 other politicians united to show their opposition to Islamic veils which cover a woman’s entire face.

The draft bill, proposed by President Nicholas Sarkozy’s government, will now pass to the Senate where it could be ratified as early as September.

It follows months of debate which saw Immigration Minister Eric Besson describe the burka, which is most often seen in Afghanistan, as a ‘walking coffin’, while Prime Minister Francois Fillon accused wearers of ‘hijacking Islam' and displaying a 'dark sectarian image’.

Recent polls suggested that more than 80 per cent of French people wanted the burka banned, including members of the country’s 5million-strong Muslim population.

Such was the popularity of the measure opposition Socialists and Greens abstained from the vote rather than cast their ballot against it.

Members of far Left groups like the Communists joined Mr Sarkozy’s ruling UMP party in voting for it.

Belgium and Spain have initiated burqa bans, while in Britain support for one have come from a Tory backbencher and party’s including the UK Independence Party.

Under the terms of the bill, anyone caught wearing a burka or a niqab will face a £125 More importantly, men caught forcing a woman to wear a burka or a niqab will face a year in prison or a £25,000 fine.

But the ban could be shot down by France's constitutional watchdog or the European Court of Human Rights.

In March, France's highest administrative body, the Council of State, warned that it could be illegal because it does not allow freedom of expression.

This could dampen efforts under way in other European countries, including Britain, to ban the veil.

It would also be a humiliation for President Sarkozy, whose government has devoted much attention to a bill that would only affect some 2,000 women in France.

The main body representing French Muslims says face-covering veils are not required by Islam, but it worries that the law will stigmatise the religion.

The niqab and burka are seen by some as a symbol of extremism and an attack on women's rights in the secular French Republic.

While the proposed legislation is colloquially referred to as the ‘anti-burka law,’ it is officially called ‘the bill to forbid concealing one's face in public.’

Communist MP Andre Gerin, who supports a ban, said that ‘talking about liberty to defend the wearing of the full veil is totally cynical - for me, the full veil is a walking coffin, a muzzle.’

A French tycoon is setting up a fund to help Muslim women pay 'burka fines' for hiding their faces in public.

Muslim businessman Rachid Nekkaz has pledged to sell off £840,000 worth of property in Paris for the fund.

Saudi prince, Fox to start Arabic news channel

Last Updated: Monday, July 12, 2010 | 12:38 PM ET CBC News

 

Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal has announced plans to launch a 24-hour Arabic-language news channel in partnership with Rupert Murdoch's Fox network.

Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi, former editor in chief of Alwatan newspaper and a media adviser to Prince Turki Al-Faisal at Saudi embassies in London and Washington D.C., will head the station.

Khashoggi is a controversial choice because he has clashed with Saudi authorities over religious police and women's rights and resigned from his newspaper position earlier this year over an editorial questioning Salafism, a form of Islam at the heart of the conservative state.

Prince Alwaleed's new channel will compete for Arab viewers with well-established networks Al Arabiya and Al Jazeera. He did not name the channel, which will build a network of Arab correspondents.

"We no longer have a void in the Arab world as it is now heavily occupied," Alwaleed acknowledged in the statement.

'An alternative for viewers'

"Therefore the new news channel is going to become an addition and an alternative for viewers. Our personal aim is to achieve this."

The new channel "will focus on development in Saudi Arabia and the Arab world on the political, economic and social fronts," he added.

News Corp. and Prince Alwaleed's Rotana already have a relationship with News Corp. buying a 9.09 per cent stake in Rotana for $70 million US earlier this year. Alwaleed already held seven per cent in News.

Fox channels are carried on Rotana's conventional TV platform and Rotana and Fox co-operated last year on a four-year deal for content from the Walt Disney Company.

Rotana also owns radio stations, a magazine, a digital media group and other broadcasting interests. However the new network will not be held by Rotana, but by Kingdom Holding, another of Prince Alwaleed's companies.

No date was given for launch of the channel.

Ground Zero Imam Rauf's "Charity" Funded Genocide Mission. State Department Mulls Terror Designation For Group

Perdana Rauf
 

Back on June 5th, I reported that Islamic supremacist Imam Rauf, the imam behind that grotesque flag of conquest on Ground Zero, was a "prominent figure" in "The Perdana Organization." They funded the  genocidal Jew-hating terrorist group behind the murderous attack on Jewish soldiers on the warship flotilla. Rauf is funding IHH? Provoking, funding, encouraging a second holocaust? Where is he getting his $100 million for the Islamic supremacist mega mosque looking down on the mass burial ground at the World Trade Center, and why is Ayatollah Bloomberg calling any investigation into Imam Terror's shady funding "un-American"?

More in the Imam unmosqued NY Post

The imam behind a proposed mosque near Ground Zero is a prominent member of a group that helped sponsor the pro-Palestinian activists who clashed violently with Israeli commandos at sea ......

Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf is a key figure in Malaysian-based Perdana Global Peace Organization, according to its Website.

Perdana is the single biggest donor ($366,000) so far to the Free Gaza Movement, a key organizer of the six-ship flotilla that tried to break Israel's blockade of the Hamas-run Gaza Strip Monday. 

IHH launched those genocidal ships, and Fox News reported last month that IHH has links to terrorist groups, including Hamas and Al Qaeda.

The organization was described in federal court documents as playing a role in the Millennium terrorist plot to bomb Los Angeles International Airport. Additionally, the Turkish charity was described in a recent report by the Israeli-based Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center as being a "radical Islamic organization with an anti-Western orientation," and that "besides its legitimate philanthropic activities, it supports radical Islamic networks, including Hamas, and that at least in the past, even global jihad networks.

The State Department and Department of Treasury can designate persons, groups and foreign countries as sponsoring or being terrorists. The State Department has a list of Foreign Terrorist Organizations, including Hamas, Hezbollah and Al Qaeda, that are designated by the secretary of state. It also has a similar list for State Sponsors of Terrorism, which currently has four countries on it: Syria, Iran, Cuba and Sudan.

FOX EXCLUSIVE: State Department Mulls Terror Designation for Gaza 'Aid' Ship Funder

The State Department is investigating whether to designate the Turkish Muslim charity that funded and operated a Gaza-bound "aid" ship as a foreign terrorist organization, after nine people were killed aboard one of its ships in a bloody confrontation with Israeli commandos, Fox News has learned.

State Department spokesman Mark Toner told Fox News at a briefing on Wednesday that the government is looking into whether The Foundation for Human Rights and Humanitarian Relief (IHH), a nongovernmental organization, should be listed as a terror group. 

"I believe we are looking at the IHH, but it's a long process to designate something a foreign terrorist organization and ...there's nothing to announce on that," Toner said.

Sources also said that sections of the Treasury Department are actively investigating IHH with the intent to designate it as a terrorist organization, despite some opposition from within the administration. While the department declined to comment on any current or pending investigations into IHH, it is known that Treasury has raised concerns about the IHH with Turkish officials in the past.

IHH funded and ran the Mavi Marmara, the ship aboard which nine people were killed when Israeli commandos boarded it as it sailed toward Gaza as part of a "humanitarian aid" flotilla last month. The group is documented as having ties to terrorists and was named in federal court papers as playing a role in the failed Millennium bomb plot 10 years ago. It also was named in a 1996 CIA report as having links to terrorist groups. 

Formed in 1992 with the goal of assisting Muslims in Bosnia, IHH has branched out to many places, including Lebanon, Pakistan, Sudan, Somalia and the Palestinian territories.

The State and Treasury investigations follow a letter sent to President Obama late last month from a bipartisan group of 87 U.S. senators in which they called on the president to keep firm his administration's support of Israel. That same letter called on the president to investigate the Turkish group.

"We are deeply concerned about the IHH's role in this incident and have additional questions about Turkey and any connections to Hamas," the letter read. "The IHH is a member of a group of Muslim charities, the Union of Good, which was designated by the U.S. Treasury Department as a terrorist organization. The Union of Good was created by, and strongly supports Hamas, which has been designated as a foreign terrorist organization by the U.S. State Department. We recommend that your administration consider whether the IHH should be put on the list of foreign terrorist organizations, after an examination by the intelligence community, the State Department, and the Treasury Department."
