2990-ARE WE NOW IN THE END TIMES? | View Thread

And while many countries across the globe have a stake in arming the ruling Iraqi government to prevent ISIS taking over the entire country, Wicken says they also have a responsibility to ensure that lethal arms do not fall into the arms of extremist groups. “Clearly it’s a very complex situation with no easy solutions,” he adds. “What we are saying is that there has to be far more investment by supplier states in terms of on site monitoring and helping the Iraqi military professionalize.”

In the report, AI calls for all states to stop sending weapons to the Syrian government and any Syrian opposition groups implicated in war crimes and other human rights abuses. The international rights group also wants countries to make sure they do a proper risk assessment before sending weapons to the Iraqi government to make sure the military or police units using the arms aren’t likely to use them to harm civilians.

“The legacy of arms proliferation and abuse in Iraq and the surrounding region has already destroyed the lives and livelihoods of millions of people and poses an ongoing threat,” says Wilcken. “The consequences of reckless arms transfers to Iraq and Syria and their subsequent capture by ISIS must be a wake-up call to arms exporters around the world.”

The Pentagon did not respond to Newsweek’s request for comment in time for publication.

German police were forced to pepper-spray a fare dodging Islamist on Sunday after he reacted badly to having his ticket checked, attacking officers, trying to snatch a police handgun and screaming “Allah hu Akbar”.

The 23-year-old Moroccan ‘asylum seeker’ spoke no German and savagely attacked police on Sunday in Osnabrück station, hospitalising two and injured a third.

A railway employee decided to call in police on this occasion as after attempting to check the migrant’s ticket, the man began to act “strangely”, reports Focus.de.

Events took a turn for the violent as police arrived, and the man immediately flew into a fury. Attacking a female police officer, the man kicked and bit while screaming in Arabic the Islamist war-cry “Allah hu Akbar” and crying out the name of the Islamic State.

In the end it took three federal police officers to pepper spray and cuff the man. The female police officer was left with a “massive” knee injury and another officer was treated at hospital for a broken rib and bites on his forearm. Both are now off duty to recover from their wounds.

Despite being kept in hand-cuffs, the man even tried to “repeatedly” grab the service pistol of a police officer, reports NOZ.de. Once at the Osnabrück police station the man continued to give trouble by spitting at officers.

Despite the man crying out the name of the Islamic State in Arabic and shouting that ‘god is great” as he attacked, a search of the individual of his arrest found no evidence to suggest he was directly affiliated to the Islamic State itself.

It has been supposed the man reacted violently because he didn’t understand it was his ticket being checked, and he feared the police were going to deport him. Yet a police spokesman has rejected this suggestion, remarking that while the migrant didn’t speak German, police and railway staff have found all migrants have come to understand the work by the time they make it to Germany, making it a “term to all people”.

Despite the violent assault on two police officers, the migrant attacker is now considering whether to launch a legal case against the police for his treatment.

It is now common practice in Europe to allow migrants without railway tickets to travel for free to avoid confrontation.

While countries like Sweden and France have official national policies on always giving migrants free travel, other countries rely on the discretion of individual guards, turning a blind eye to the illegal use of public transport without a valid ticket.

	Trump’s Muslim Ban Is Unconstitutional and Harms America By Qasim Rashid 12/8/15 at 7:29 PM U.S. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump points to a supporter at a Pearl Harbor Day rally aboard the USS Yorktown Memorial in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, Monday. Trump has called for a ban on Muslims entering the U.S. in the most dramatic response by a candidate yet to last week's shooting spree by two Muslims who the FBI said had been radicalized. "We have no choice," Trump said at a rally in South Carolina, warning of more Sept. 11-style attacks if stern measures are not taken.Randall Hill/Reuters The great Indian scholar and immigrant Muslim missionary, Dr. Mufti Muhammad Sadiq, was immediately detained upon arriving in Philadelphia in 1920. In a racially charged nation, at a time when the KKK was 4 million strong, Sadiq—an Indian missionary for the worldwide Ahmadiyya Muslim Community—had little chance of equal treatment. The immigration police feared he would preach values antithetical to America, and felt arresting him was the safer bet. But after observing him for several days, they realized their fears were foolish and unfounded. They admitted this Muslim immigrant to the United States, and released him from custody. Sadiq was among the earliest 20th-century Muslim immigrants. During his time in America, he lectured on Islam at countless universities, received honorary degrees, established the nation’s oldest Muslim periodical and established a community of 700 American born Muslims through peaceful and educated proselytization. By the time Sadiq left America in 1923, he’d firmly established a U.S. Chapter of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community—which has since spread to 75 chapters nationwide with tens of thousands of members. With his demand to end all Muslim immigration, Donald Trump has aligned himself with the racist and ignorant immigration police of 1920. This is tragic for a number of reasons. America is a nation of immigrants, and has been so for centuries. Muslim immigrants have contributed invaluable resources to America’s growth and advancement. By attempting to rob America’s future of the immense contributions American Muslim immigrants will make to this country, Trump harms America. His disappointing proposal is furthermore unconstitutional and empowers extremist ideology. The Constitution celebrates religious freedom—even for Muslims—and throughout American history, no religious test has prevented immigration to America. Instead, such a test would advance ISIS’s goals of “eliminating the gray zone” for Muslims in the West—or those seeking to go to the West—and attempt to force them to join the so-called “Islamic” state. This is unacceptable. Moreover, we must not resort to “collective punishment” of all Muslims due to the acts of a few. Such an approach solves nothing and only creates more fear and discord. And considering that the FBI cites right-wing terrorism as the gravest threat to American security, Trump would better direct his intolerance toward white Americans. I can’t imagine why he doesn’t. Ultimately, we cannot defeat any threat of extremism, perceived or otherwise, by resorting to extremism ourselves. It is imperative that we instead maintain a focus on superior ideas based on tolerance, education and compassion. The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community is one such American dream success story made possible by immigration. Throughout our near century in the United States, we’ve worked actively—as immigrants and native born American Muslim—to serve and advance our country. We’ve advocated for separation of mosque and state, loyalty to America, have served in the armed forces and are civically engaged. Indeed, the greater American Muslim community has made invaluable contributions to the U.S. But perhaps most tragic is this fact that Trump spews such rhetoric and maintains his high poll ranking. The greater concern, therefore, isn’t just his remark, but the fact that his remarks have found favor with millions of Americans. Popularity doesn’t make his comments right, only more dangerous. Back in 1920, Mufti Muhammad Sadiq refused to cower in fear or become intimidated. Though discriminated against, he did not respond with anger and certainly not with violence. He instead worked with even more zeal to advance his mission of peace with dialogue, education and service to humanity. Nearly a century later, the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community carries this torch forward with theMuslims for Life blood drive, annual marches on Capitol Hill to combat hunger and ongoing humanitarian relief efforts. We invite all Americans of all faiths and no faiths to join us in this campaign for true Islam. Ignorance breeds fear, but education breeds compassion. Our mosques are open, and they’re safe places for all Americans. Let’s work together—immigrants and American born, Muslim and non-Muslim—and continue to advance America forward for centuries to come. Qasim Rashid is the national spokesperson for the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community USA. Follow on Twitter @MuslimIQ (Newsweek)

	Turkey Threatens To Respond To Russia’s Rocket Launcher Provocation By Polina Tikhonova on December 8, 2015 4:40 am Amid reports of an imminent war between Turkey and Russia, Turkey has summoned the Russian ambassador after a serviceman on the deck of a Russian naval ship allegedly held a rocket launcher while the vessel passed through Istanbul this weekend. Turkey accuses Moscow of “provocations” after the serviceman was spotted holding a rocket launcher on his shoulder while the naval ship was passing through the territory of Turkey, according to The Sydney Morning Herald. Relations between Ankara and Moscow have sharply escalated since the Turkish military last week shot down a Russia jet in its airspace. Russia’s NTV news channel broadcasted a footage with a serviceman brandishing a rocket launcher on the deck of a naval ship Caesar Kunikov as it passed through the Bosphorus Strait in Istanbul on Saturday. The ship was allegedly en route to Syria. “For a Russian soldier to display a rocket launcher or something similar while passing on a Russian warship is a provocation,” Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu? told reporters, according to The Sydney Morning Herald citing the Hurriyet news site. “If we perceive a threatening situation, we will give the necessary response.” With the Bosphorus providing the only naval passage to the world’s oceans for the Russian Black Sea fleet, a post-war treaty obliges Turkey to allow all naval ships to pass the region during peacetime. Ever since the Turkish military brought down the Russian warplane, the Kremlin has introduced economic sanctions, which will cost Turkey approximately nine billion dollars, according to AFP. NTV also said that as the Caesar Kunikov was passing through, three NATO frigates with Canadian, Spanish and Portuguese flags had been moored. Tensions getting hot: Turkey summons Russian ambassador As a response to the incident with the Russian serviceman allegedly holding a rocket launcher, Turkey has summoned the Russian ambassador. Turkey has formally expressed its outrage over the incident, with Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu calling it a “provocation.” The incident with Turkey – a NATO member state – shooting down the Russian warplane has already been called the most alarming military encounter between NATO and Russia’s armed forces in over 50 years. It has already triggered quite an uproar in geopolitics with many analysts wondering if this is the beginning of a major military confrontation between Russia and NATO with the involvement of the U.S. “The worse case being a conflict between the United States and fellow nuclear armed state, Russia,” according to Zachary Yost of The Canal. With extremely high chances of the conflict between Ankara and Moscow spiraling into a war between NATO and Russia, U.S. experts are weighing in on whether the United States should or should not risk American soldiers’ lives to save Turkey. The benefits of the U.S. possibly withdrawing from NATO would be to “discourage irresponsible behavior from current U.S. allies,” Yost noted in his article. (http://www.valuewalk.com/)

	'Craft Intl mercenaries carried out San Bernardino shooting' Tue Dec 8, 2015 11:37AM Members of the Craft International, a tactical training company for the US military (file photo) Mercenaries from the Craft International, a tactical training company for the US military, carried out last week’s false flag operation in San Bernardino, California, according to Steven D Kelley, a former NSA/CIA contractor. On Wednesday, Syed Rizwan Farook, 28, and Tashfeen Malik, 29, stormed a holiday party in San Bernardino, California, killing at least 14 people and injuring 21 in the deadliest mass shooting in the US in three years. Hours later, the couple reportedly died in a fire exchange with police. Malik had pledged allegiance to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of the Daesh (ISIL) terrorist group, three US officials familiar with the investigation claimed on Friday. On Saturday, the Takfiri group also claimed the couple as its followers. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) said on Monday the couple had been radicalized "for some time." Kelley told Press TV on Tuesday that the shooting “is just one in a long string of false flag events that I am afraid to say are not over.” “We’ll probably be seeing several more before the end of the year, because of the events that are going on in the world, specifically with the NATO being implicated in the buying of oil from Daesh and other events,” he stated. “So when these things happen they need to have a rapid response which requires a false flag attack. This was very obvious that this was going to happen,” the analyst added. “The people that were on the scene and saw this happen also reported that three tall white men wearing black shirts, khaki pants and tanned combat boots were actually the shooters. The description is almost exactly what the gentlemen from Craft International, the mercenary organization that was involved in so many other false flags, actually look like. This seems to be their standard uniform,” he noted. President Barack Obama on Sunday called the California shooting an "act of terrorism” and said the couple who launched the attack "had gone down the dark path of radicalization." "They had stockpiled assault weapons, ammunition and pipe bombs. So this was an act of terrorism," he claimed. Kelley said “the people that are being implicated – the couple -- first of all if they were planning something, if they were radicalized as this is being said, and clearly the NSA, the FBI will be right on the top of these people all the time, but rather than stopping them from doing something, they were nurtured to be used for this exact purpose.” “I do not suspect that these people have anything to do with the actual shooting. I suspect that these were patsies, no different than Timothy McVeigh or any of these other people who have historically been used to implement these terrorist acts,” the commentator said. “If you look at the people that were wounded you can see clearly that bullet wounds are not real. The .223 weapon or bullets fired from AR15 – an extremely powerful weapon -- would blow someone’s arm off, it is not going to make a small hole,” said Kelley, who is also a weapons expert. “So clearly this is a very very dirty false flag. Obviously, the United States is getting very very desperate; the government here is very desperate, they need to do something immediately to disarm the United States prior to a revolution, because the people here are waking up very fast, and they are ready to shut down this evil empire. And this needs to happen very soon,” the analyst concluded. In his televised address from the Oval Office, Obama called for tougher gun controls, starting with a ban on gun purchases for anyone on a US government no-fly list. "To begin with, Congress should act to make sure no one on a no-fly list is able to buy a gun.” "What could possibly be the argument for allowing a terrorist suspect to buy a semiautomatic weapon? This is a matter of national security," he stated. Obama has said the “biggest frustration” of his time in the office has been the inability to reduce unparalleled levels of gun violence in the country. (PRESS TV)

	Amnesty International: 'Reckless Arms Trading' Fuels ISIS War Crimes in Iraq, Syria By Jack Moore 12/8/15 at 12:01 AM A Kurdish gunsmith holds an American-made M16A4, previously owned by the Iraqi Army and then by ISIS, after the weapon was converted into an M4 carbine type rifle. The weapon was captured from ISIS by a member of the Kurdish peshmerga who wished to have it shortened.Matt Cetti-Roberts / Amnesty International Years of war, “reckless arms trading” and lax control of weapons traveling across borders have provided the Islamic State militant group (ISIS) with a sophisticated arsenal that it’s used to commit war crimes in Iraq and Syria, according to a new Amnesty International (AI) report released on Tuesday. The report, called Taking Stock: The Arming of Islamic State, details how the extremist group has acquired the weapons used to tighten its grip on the so-called caliphate in both countries. The report found that ISIS is using arms and ammunition from at least 25 countries, including the U.S., China, Belgium, France, Russia and Germany. It also uses weapons from countries that no longer exist, such as the former Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia and the former Soviet Union. The majority of the weapons are decades old and include pistols, machine guns, antitank weapons and mortars. Most originated in the former Soviet Union, followed by the U.S. and China, says Patrick Wilcken, a researcher on arms control, security trade and human rights at AI. “The vast and varied weaponry being used by the armed group calling itself Islamic State is a textbook case of how reckless arms trading fuels atrocities on a massive scale,” he says. “Poor regulation and lack of oversight of the immense arms flows into Iraq going back decades have given ISIS and other armed groups a bonanza of unprecedented access to firepower.” ISIS wrested most of the weapons from Iraqi military stocks after Baghdad’s forces in theseries of military victories across northern and western Iraq beginning in June 2014. That’s when the jihadist group captured Mosul, Iraq’s second largest city, and acquired U.S. military vehicles and an array of internationally manufactured arms. The report’s findings, based on the analysis of open-source information, interviews with Iraqi and Syrian sources and a partnership with the arms monitoring organization Conflict Armament Research, suggest that weapons the Pentagon and NATO sent to Iraq may have indirectly contributed to ISIS’s rise, which has led to the deaths of tens of thousands of people in Iraq and Syria. Years after the U.S. occupation of Iraq began in 2003, Washington signed military contracts worth billions of dollars to equip the Iraqi army and delivered $500 million worth of weapons by 2014. The result: Arms continued to pour into the country, without the proper checks and balances, Wicken says. Improvised mortar rounds manufactured by ISIS forces and captured by Syrian Kurdish People's Protection Units in Kobane during the siege of Kobane, from September 2014 to January 2015, documented by a CAR Field Investigation team on February 21, 2015 in Kobane.Conflict Armament Research / Amnesty International And while many countries across the globe have a stake in arming the ruling Iraqi government to prevent ISIS taking over the entire country, Wicken says they also have a responsibility to ensure that lethal arms do not fall into the arms of extremist groups. “Clearly it’s a very complex situation with no easy solutions,” he adds. “What we are saying is that there has to be far more investment by supplier states in terms of on site monitoring and helping the Iraqi military professionalize.” In the report, AI calls for all states to stop sending weapons to the Syrian government and any Syrian opposition groups implicated in war crimes and other human rights abuses.
