Leaders of the world-wide counter-jihad movement rallied and joined forces in Sweden on Saturday

Here is the story from Pamela Geller at Atlas Shrugs (emphasis mine):

Stockholm was a wild success, far exceeding expectations on so many levels. After an extraordinary rally* at Norra Bantorget in Stockholm, the heads of the leading worldwide counter-jihad organizations held a series of workshops and planning meetings. What has emerged from an intense forty-eight hour strategy session is the first activist leadership team uniting counter-jihadists in Europe, the U.S., and Australia: the President’s Council of Stop Islamization of Nations (SION).

The initial members of the President’s Council are SIOE’s Anders Gravers; Tommy Robinson and Kevin Carroll of the EDL; Debbie Robinson of the Q Society of Australia, Robert Spencer and me. The members of the newly formed council unanimously voted to elect me Council President. I am honored. This is a momentous beginning to what I am confident will become a powerful force for defending freedom worldwide.

The President’s Council differs from the SION Board, which includes Swiss parliamentarian Oskar Freysinger; Cliff Kincaid of Accuracy in Media; Ashraf Rameleh of Voice of the Copts; Ali Sina, the renowned ex-Muslim author and founder of FaithFreedom.org; Wafa Sultan, the ex-Muslim human rights activist and author; the German pro-freedom activist Stefan Herre of Politically Incorrect; the Israeli author Dr. Mordechai Kedar; the Hindu human rights activist Babu Suseelan; and Anders Gravers of Stop Islamisation of Europe (SIOE).

This Board functions in an advisory capacity, while the President’s Council is a steering committee. It functions as a mobile, proactive, reactive on-the-ground team developing and executing confidential action plans that strike at the heart of the global anti-freedom agenda.

Our next initiative will be the first session of the International Freedom Defense Congress, which will be held in New York on September 11, 2012. The principal focus of the Congress will be a media workshop pertaining to Islamic supremacist attempts to restrict the freedom of speech in the free world, and the smear campaigns against freedom fighters in newspapers and media institutions in the West.

Somali terror suspect finally detained in London….

…..after he broke the rules of his movement restrictions and turned up five times at London’s Olympic Park!  Think about this!  “CF” is one of nine British suspected terrorists who are being watched by the British Home Secretary.  Wouldn’t you think he would have been detained before now!

And, one has to read down 20 paragraphs before learning he is a Somali.

From The Telegraph:

The alleged al-Qaeda militant was caught crossing through the Olympic Park five times, breaking a ban imposed by the Home Secretary, The Sunday Telegraph has learned.

The 24 year-old has previously tried to get to Afghanistan, allegedly for terrorist training, and is suspected of fighting for the Somali Islamist group al Shabaab, which has been responsible for thousands of deaths, including those of Western aid workers. He is accused of trying to recruit other Britons to its cause.

A Home Office lawyer warned after his discovery in the Olympic area that the man – known as CF – wanted to “re-engage in terrorism-related activities, either in the UK or Somalia” and is “determined to continue to adhere to his Islamist extremist agenda”.

His detention is the most serious security alert yet to hit the Olympic Park.

[….]

CF is one of nine suspected risks to national security who are subject to Terrorism Prevention and Investigation Measures (Tpim) – legal orders which restrict their movements and computer use and who they can meet.

[….]

He was prosecuted in Britain but absconded during his trial in June 2009 and fled to Somalia. In his absence he was acquitted of any crime.

Officials claim CF, who comes from a large family of Somali [refugee!–ed] origin from north London, attended a terrorist training camp and fought alongside jihadis from the al-Qaeda group al-Shabaab.

Read it all.

By the way, we reported last February that British security said that Somalis who left Britain (and the US!) for Jihad training in Africa would be back, here.

Update July 8:  Now The Telegraph is reporting that British security may round-up “marginal” suspects like this Somali in advance of the Olympic games.

Vlad Tepes blog: Norway getting ready to return Somali migrants to Somalia (wow!)

Well heck, why not!  It was only a few weeks ago we learned that Mogadishu is safe—read all about it here!

We have heard of Canada sending Somali criminals back, but this is amazing for Norway!

Vlad Tepes:

In deepest secrecy, the government has prepared a return accord with Somalia.

It means that asylum seekers from Mogadishu and other southern somali regions can be sent back by force.

Somalis are the biggest group of asylum seekers to Norway. All in all, 1422 asylum seekers from Somalia came to Norway in 2011.

Last week, hidden meetings were held among state secretary Pål Lønseth (Ap) [socialdemocrates] and Somalia’s home minister, Abdisamad Mo’allin Mohamud.

VG Nett [this paper] knew before about the meeting but chose, for reasons of security, to wait with publishing the information until the minister had left the country.

Sweden: Somali refugee befriended by royals, then robs them

Bare Naked Islam has a story that will make most of you smile (well, maybe not liberal multiculturalists)—it is the classic Liberal gets mugged story.

Seems members of Sweden’s Royal Family invited a Somali refugee they met in a visit to a ghetto to come live at their home—I kid you not!

Here is the story from The Local.    You have to read down about ten paragraphs before you are told the crook is a refugee.

A 19-year-old man has admitted to the theft of over 850,000 kronor ($120,675) worth of royal jewels that were taken from Princess Christina’s apartment near the Royal Palace over the past two months.

The thief, a 19-year-old friend of the family, confessed to the theft soon after, wrote the Aftonbladet newspaper.

It is alleged that he sold the majority of the jewels for 9,000 kronor to two marijuana dealers.

He also reportedly threw a tiara worth 350,000 kronor off a Stockholm bridge into the water below.

The jewellery belonged to Princess Christina, the 68-year-old youngest sister of Sweden’s King Carl XVI Gustaf.

[….]

The 19-year-old, who came to Sweden as a refugee in 2010, had lived with the royal couple, and Magnuson had acted as his mentor.  [Hmmmm! What sort of mentor, be sure to see the video at Bare Naked Islam.—ed]

The mainstream media can’t bring itself to even say the word—Somali—but visit Bare Naked Islam for a film clip that explains what happened and is happening to Sweden.

Iraq refuses to repatriate failed Iraqi asylum seekers from the UK

They were refused asylum in the UK, the UK wants to take them back to Iraq, Iraq says no way.

Here is the story in the Daily Mail:

The Iraqi parliament has blocked the repatriation of thousands of asylum seekers who have lost the right to remain in Britain.

It has banned the forced return from Europe of tens of thousands of Iraqis and threatened to fine airlines that deliver deportees.

Failed asylum seekers have already been turned back at the border, said the refugee support group that pushed for the change.

The UK has failed to return any rejected Iraqi asylum seekers since March 2011, mainly because of legal problems over their arrival at Baghdad airport and the breakdown of security within Iraq.

[….]

Between 2007 and 2009 over 38,000 Iraqis accounted for 17 per cent of all asylum applications in the EU, making it the largest country of origin for refugees.

The only explanation I can come up with about why Iraq doesn’t want them back is that they are probably criminals.   We all know Iraq is just fine now—right?—Obama told us so when he withdrew our troops.

Be sure to read the comments to the Daily Mail story, they are more interesting than the article itself.
