Their Religion? No Excuse – Blackmores Are B-st-rds!

Still covering Canadian news, and in particular to look at the courts, always a worthwhile and enjoyable activity, via an opinion piece in the National Post, by Daphne Bramham

Gail and Brandon Blackmore have been convicted of removing their daughter from Canada for sexual purposes — a never-before-used section of the Criminal Code that carries a maximum penalty of five years.

The Blackmores are part of a pig-ignorant religion which practises polygamy and child-marriage.

It’s called the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

Despite sounding similar to the formal name of the Mormon Church, whose members I often see bravely proselytising around Jakarta, easily recognisable by their neat apparel and courteous demeanour, the FCJCLDS is NOT AT ALL the same.

It’s a bizarre sect run by a very odd individual called Jeffs, whom his acolytes refer to as a ‘prophet.’

======

Jeffs was convicted in 2011 of “sexual assault” and “aggravated sexual assault” of two girls ages 12 and 15. He was sentenced to life in prison plus 20 years.

000000000000oooooooooo

And the two loathesome specimens in the photo below? Gail and Brandon Blackmore

ooooooo.

The Blackmores, who gave their daughter to their ‘prophet.’

———-

Yet despite being convicted in a Canadian court, and even though Blackmore isn’t exactly remorseful….

 http://www.montrealgazette.com/opinion/columnists/child+brides+parents+need+jail+time+punishment/13596680/story.html  

…the defence attorney argued for a conditional sentence (which would mean no criminal record) and no jail time.

WHAT?

---

 ????

—

And for the foul fanatic mother of the victim, Gail Blackmore, it was argued that the media coverage of the trial was punishment enough and a big enough signal to deter others.

I am horrified, and not only by those absurd arguments from their defenders.

The PROSECUTION has only asked for Brandon Blackmore to get 12-18 months in jail.

And for the evil woman, six months to a year in jail.

British Columbia’s Supreme Court will deliver the decision next month.

In the absence of burning at the  stake as a potential penalty, the five year maximum available is the least justice demands, although it’s clearly insufficient punishment for parents who thus betrayed their child.

So we wait for Canadian justice.

In contrast, we know that there is NO justice in Australia, or at least not in the court of Magistrate Phillip Goldberg…

…who sentenced Omerdic to two months’ prison for his “serious breach of trust” but released him immediately on a two-year recognisance release order.

And who is Omerdic?

He’s the vile savage pictured below.

oooooooooooo

———–

Once an imam of the Bosnian Islamic Society and Noble Park Mosque, he was suspended after being arrested last November for deliberate complicity in the ‘marriage’ of a child to an adult male predator.

Video footage of the ceremony was previously played to the Melbourne Magistrates’ Court, showing Omerdic telling the girl it was her duty to obey her husband.

 Victorian ex-imam avoids jail over child bride marriage ceremony

Dirty old slug!

Good on Ms Krista Breckweg, prosecuting, who, noting absence of any sign of remorse, urged that the pig ought to be jailed in order to deter child weddings in future.

“This offending involved a man marrying a child to an older man, knowingly,” Ms Breckweg told the court. 

“There needs to be a message sent to the community that this will not be tolerated. You can’t do this.”

But…

Defence lawyer Daniel Gurvich QC said Omerdic had already been suspended as an imam and a Justice of the Peace, and should not be punished further with jail.

Somehow, Gurvich reckoned it was not a pre-meditated criminal offence..”

—–

Like, uh, how do you preside over an unpremeditated ‘marriage’ ceremony?

You had no idea what was about to happen, you were just walking by and saw some people about to coerce a young girl into a pedophile arrangement…

.

….and somehow you were roped into presiding?

 The mangy cur should have been put away for life.

As should all pedophile molestors, and those who seek to justify their perverted activity, or collaborate therewith.

‘Child Marriage’ in Indonesia And A Fanatic Cleric…

An article in the Jakarta Post caught my eye, not for its subject so much as one name mentioned therein, that of Ilham Arifin.

He’s on Trans TV all too often, the late, late preachy show, so he must be worth a few bob, as they say, or said, when British coins weighed more than a bottle-cap.

———-

• 
• ———–

• I switch channels when he pops up, an oily leer on his fizzog.

But again, that’s not so much for what he has to say, which interests me very little, but for what I know about him, and indeed posted here some four years ago.

Back then he was a regular feature on Metro TV…

Metro TV’s Hate-Group Fan! 

I don’t know if he’s still working there as well as at Trans, but he continues inexplicably to be treated as some sort of celebrity, shown great  deference, despite his record of support for the vilest elements in Indonesia.

00

——————————

That’s him, the one without the fetching white scarf, his companion being the notorious Habib Rizieq, aka ‘High Priest’ of the self-styled Islam Defenders Front. Ilham’s never tried to hide his enthusiasm for those IslamoNazis.

===========

Hate-gang on the march

============

Arrahmah.com reported that Muhammad Arifin Ilham reiterated his support for the Islamic Defenders Front (FPI), by writing a statement on his Facebook account page on this day, Thursday (16/02/2012) which contains a statement of support for FPI and criticism of corrupt officials who support the secular media and disobedience and spread slander that the FPI are anarchistic…Coming Soon – Halal TV!?! 

Ilham Arifin’s maybe not the worst of the bizarre breed we looked at more closely in Jakarta – Islamophobia Stoked By TV Fanatics?  but to be fair, he’s bad enough. 

The article that got me writing this was written by a pretty smart lady who pointed out many good reasons why marrying too young was something better not done.

But as it transpires, his son is 17 years old. So we’re at least not talking about child marriage in any bad sense, although because Indonesia’s laws require bridegrooms to be 19, young Alvin must first obtain a marriage dispensation from the Cibinong Religious Court because he is considered underage.

Seventeen is old enough – I wish authorities in Europe would apply the same yard-stick to crimmigrants, instead of the idiotic rule that treats strapping 17-year-old brutes as ‘children!’

Nevertheless, at that age, IMHO, the boy’d be happier hanging out with his pals at the local warteg, or playing soccer in the park, or bopping at a club, than taking on a life-long responsibility.

But so be it.

Good luck to the newly weds. After all, English teens used to run across the Scots border, to Gretna Green, Scotland’s age of consent being Sweet Sixteen.

No, what bugs me about Ilham in this JP story is his comment on why he’s over the moon about the lad getting hitched.

Proudly announcing his full blessing, Arifin said he married off his child to protect him from harm in the world and after life.  http://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2016/08/22/why-does-marrying-young-cause-more-harm-than-good.html

Protect him from harm? An objective any parent would cherish, but…

• 

• …why doesn’t Arifin show public concern about protecting victims of the cowardly white-shirt brutes who maraud and manhandle innocent citizens. The IslamoNazis have time and again attacked both property and people – though only when they outnumber their prey by a hefty percentage.

————-

When brave citizens fight back, the FPI scuttle for safety faster than a rat up a drain pipe. 

IslamoNazis V Freedom-Fighters? – Some Chicken, Some Neck! 

Ilham could set his son a good example by including in his speech at the wedding reception a stentorian condemnation of Islamist hoodlum gangs.

And since he’ll doubtless be handling the prayers, he could point out, given his above-mentioned concern for the afterlife, that sectarian thugs should be wary of those ‘virgins in paradise’ stories. 

 

Shock Demand- Primitives in Germany Must Obey Law!

German laws protecting youth must also be applied to refugees, the government has said.

Well…

Imagine that!

Or more to the point, imagine the implications, as if the conclusion that, in Germany, German laws apply not only to Germans but also to pig-ignorant primitives, is somehow not just news-worthy but has actually had to be DISCUSSED by the German Government.

–

–

We know that Mama Stasi Merkel gives a viel grosser DAMN about alien parasites than about her own fellow-citizens, but this is beyond belief.

Does any other government feel the need to draw up and release a statement that outsider intruders are subject to the same laws as the legitimate inhabitants?

Almost inevitably, knowing what we know about the vile culture so many of the crimmigrants come from…

Migrant Pedophilia – ‘Our Traditions Are Hard To Break!’ 

…the focus of this ‘news’ is on those many ‘migrants’ who regard child-molestation as perfectly acceptable. 

….the recent wave of migration to Europe has seen that number of minors married to each other or to adults increase significantly.  http://www.dw.com/en/germany-mulls-tighter-child-marriage-laws/a-19325588

ooooooooooo

Socialist Schwesig

ooooooooo

“These cases shows that our child and teenager protection laws must also be extended to refugees,” said Federal Family, Women and Youth Minister Manuela Schwesig.

Ignoring the fact that most of them are not ‘refugees,’ simply wannabe welfare snouts, what’s this frothing frau on about?

–

–

The law is the law is the law.

It’s German law, not barbaric shariah law. Shariah law has no place in civilised countries so there’s no need to EXTEND German law, just IMPOSE it.

Any dirty pig caught in a so-called ‘marriage’ to a child should be arrested, charged, sentenced and then deported.   

–

–

After all, German law is quite clear.  

In Germany, the age of majority is 18. The youngest age allowed for marriage is 16, and then only if the other partner is a legal adult, and parents or a family court have granted permission.

So why do we read that Berlin was considering tightening legislation against child marriages on Monday in light of the refugee crisis.

————

Why do we read “We need a clear law,” said Thomas Kutschaty, a Social Democrat (SPD) and justice minister for the state of North Rhine-Westphalia?  

The law is already perfectly clear. 

Why do we read that Volker Kauder, parliamentary head of Merkel’s Christian Democrats (CDU), said the Bundestag needs to debate and develop stronger laws?

The law, as described above, in the same DW article, needs no alteration, simply enforcement.

Unless Herr Kauder means that a good sound flogging be added to the penalties for child molestation – a fine idea, but I’ll bet he doesn’t agree. 

==

Many laws lack serious enforcement, and they need judges who don’t make a mockery of justice, like the swine who turned loose the rapacious savages guilty of sexual assault.…Cologne Migrant Who Licked And Groped Girls Laughs As He Walks …  and Germany: Eritrean Migrant Sex Attacker Given Just 30 Hours … …

Save the Children – From Labour Child-Sex Fans!

A notorious paedophile who once campaigned for sex with children to be legalised has been allowed to join the Labour party.

Tom O’Carroll, former chairman of the Paedophile Information Exchange (Pie), is understood to have joined after the election of Jeremy Corbyn as leader in September…http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/news/politics/article4691418.ece

Please note, one does not just declare oneself a member of the Labour Party! Applications have to be approved, so we are forced to conclude that this Dirty Old Man’s views and cravings are clearly NOT to the distaste of those Labour Party apparatchiks who welcomed him aboard.

No doubt he’ll be nominated as a candidate in due course.

After all, Corbyn wants hordes of primitives to be imported as ‘refugees’ and in due course given the vote.  And we know that an unknown but definite proportion of these unwelcome aliens are pedophiles.

• But no longer – with alien creeps arriving in significant numbers from cess-pool countries where child-‘marriage’ is part of the so-called ‘culture,’ the Left will naturally proceed to find ‘cultural’ excuses for such bestial barbarism, because there will soon be a growing pool of alien-origin pedophile voters in Britain, looking for congenial candidates.

And who more congenial than this sleazy swine O’Connell.

And we should be asking ourselves which other unwholesome things will crawl out from under stones and be embraced by unscrupulous party hacks as electoral opportunity, as the Obamanisation of Labour – American soldiers in Afghanistan are now being instructed to ignore the sexual abuse of boys by Afghan allies – proceeds EVER SO gaily?

Hamza Tzortzis is only ‘British’ in the sense that Anjem CHoudary is ‘British’- in other eords not British at all. Yet irrational ctiizenship laws mean he could well stand for Parliament.

Meanwhile the pig who defended child marriage in a debate in Australia back in 2013, has been invited as one of 12 speakers coming to Australia to speak at a Muslim conference.

Sickos who provoke ‘Islamophobia’ every time theyopen their mouths, but damn sure Turnbull’s mate the Grand Muti won’t condemn them! 

Britain shouldn’t allow Tzortzis back, if Oz is ill-advised enough to accept his foul presence there.

Civilised countries are no place for predators.

 

 

 

Migrant Pedophilia – ‘Our Traditions Are Hard To Break!’

As if we didn’t know the Middle East is a cess-pool of pedophilia!

As many as 20 girls between the ages of 13 and 15 have been given legal permission to join their older partners at Dutch asylum centres, according to regional news channel RTV-Noord. The figures were reportedly obtained from a leaked immigration service document.

===============

“A 12-year-old girl with a 40-year-old-man – that is not a marriage, that is abuse.”

The BBC offers ‘news’ that Holland is ‘alarmed’ about an influx of sleazy ‘refugees’ whose idea of marriage is to have sex with little girls. That angry quote above comes from a Labour legislator there

/////////////////////////

• 
• ……………….

• What’s really alarming is that hitherto such filthy child-molestors have not been arrested and deported but allowed to continue their sicko ‘marriages’  –  – aka molestation.
• The Dutch should castrate them!

The age of sexual consent in the Netherlands is 16 but migration minister Klaas Dijkhoff has told the BBC that the country currently recognises marriages involving young teenagers, as long as they are officially registered in their country of origin.  

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-34573825

I wonder if Dijkhoff has daughters.

———————-

 Dijkhoff

——————

He says the rules are being changed to stop such pedophile scum getting into his country but not till DECEMBER!  

And the little girls already in Holland, currently suffering this kind of sexual abuse?  Whats being done to rescue them? 

The BBC quotes one Syrian ‘refugee’ who disapproves of ped marriage. Okay, he’s not into it himself, but listen to what he says.

“We bring with us our beliefs, our traditions and they’re not easy to break.”

——————————–

———

Frankly, it’d be a good idea just to get hold of pedophile swine and break their necks on the gallows!

————-

• 
• ———————–

• But if what the man says is true, and it no doubt is, then better just to be on the safe side, refuse entry to ANY Syrians.

People whose ‘beliefs and traditions‘ comprise squalid depravity like child marriage (and polygamy, of course) do not belong in civilised countries.

Send the scum packing!

Migrant Muslim Ban? How to Allay ‘Islamophobia!’

I read a week or two ago that Slovakia, a small country located in the very heart of Europe, is reportedly prepared to accept 200 ‘migrants,’ but only Christians. Since then, Finns have expressed similar noises.

Today, Australia’s Foreign Minister Julie Bishop was almost instantly subjected to whines about ‘discrimination’ after she dclared ‘a focus on assisting those persecuted ethnic and religious minorities who will have no home to return to when the conflict is over. 

“So that includes Maronites, it includes Yazidis, there are Druze.” 

Discrimination in favour of those most at risk is just plain good sense, and common decency. Christians and Yazidis have been evilly tormented by the Islamist rape-gang ISIS and deserve our sympathy.

•  …

 

• But we need to be forthright on the issue of ‘Islamophobia,’ a bogus word conjured up by the likes of CAIR, whose character we should all understand by now.

Let’s listen to the Slovaks.

Bratislava officials claim Muslim refugees wouldn’t feel at home because the country has such a tiny Islamic population. Daily Mail Online.

I frankly find it unlikely that a lack of suitable places of worship is the real reason behind this policy. Muslims, after all, can and do pray anywhere.

Considerate Muslims, like my former colleague in London, find unobtrusive locations, like a small room in the office complex, whilst less considerate ones obstruct the public footway en masse, even highways, thus contributing to ‘Islamophobia.’. https://rossrightangle.wordpress.com/2011/08/04/jakarta-top-cop-slams-traff-islamic-jams/

============

• 
• ======================

• So I’d say this attitude on the part of the Slovaks is actually down to the failure of most clerics in Europe to do what I have often suggested as the best antidote to anti-Islamic feeling, namely use their pulpits to denounce several unacceptable attitudes rightly or wrongly imputed to Muslims.
• –
•  mosque in England

—

First, at every Friday prayer session, all good clerics should begin their sermon with a clear-cut assertion that Muslims in the UK (or any country) may not elevate any imagined empathy with Muslims abroad either above, or on a par with, loyalty to Queen and Country.

• 

• Any such supranational allegiance is an affront and if held, should be cause for detention pending deportation.
• ================
• .

Secondly, the sermons should decree that, under no circumstances, should anyone in their audience think, never mind act, violently towards ‘apostates’ or ‘blasphemers.’

–

–

People in those categories are not bad. They simply hold different views about how to worship or not worship. Some ‘blasphemers’ may be rude, but in those cases, in a civilised country, civilised people do not behave like the rabid morons in the above photo. They ignore what might offend, or write a critical letter to their favourite newspaper.

————————-

Third, again at least once a week, it should be explained that polygamy is for primitives. Civilised people should not, and, where it’s illegal, may not, engage in multi-spouse relationships.

=

 a backward polygamous brute

=

Again, anyone who feels strongly, once a citizen, may propose to change the law, but of course only on the basis of sex equality, any reform conferring the right to more than one legal bed-mate to both men and women. 

===========

Thirdly, on the same theme, responsible clerics should powerfully aver that men and women are not to be iniquitously treated. Already, in the UK, and elsewhere, we have heard rational Muslim input on this. 

‘An Archaic Tribal Rag’ – Wise UK Muslim Imam Says ‘Ban the Burqa!’ 

It’s on the BBC! Bag-Head Bans Do Not Infringe Religious Liberty! 

Fiery Islamists – ‘Head-Scarves NOT a Big Issue!’ 

If women are told to shroud their heads, men also should be instructed accordingly!

==========

Clerics should moreover speak out against any demand by fanatics to be above the law, and this is a topical matter, given what I read in the UK media last week, about certain people saying they should be excluded from the attentions of sniffer dogs.

POLICE sniffer dogs trained to spot terrorists at railway stations may no longer come into contact with Muslim passengers – after complaints that it is against the suspects’ religion.

 ————————————————

A report for the Transport Department has raised the prospect that the animals should only touch passengers’ luggage because it is considered “more acceptable.”   http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/50071/Sniffer-dogs-offend-Muslims

There’s no excuse for permitting the infantile notion of ‘cultural sensitivity’ to trump public safety.

———————–

I honestly believe regular repetition of all the above in every house of worship (Muslim or otherwise ) would reassure host nations immensely.

Most, if not all, Western countries practise religious liberty. Decent Muslims can practise their religion happily, and fit in well, like these Ahmadiyah in the UK.

——————

• 
• —————

• It’s when attempts are made to exalt alien and obnoxious customs – multicult – that trouble starts. Sane Muslims know this, and have said so, admirable Muslims like Tarek Fateh in Canada.

Indonesia – Sexism Endorsed by Constitutional Court?

It can be discouraging work, following how courts in Indonesia decide cases. 

I’m not talking about local courts, not the court in Serang, which handed out six-month sentences to the swine arraigned after  the Cikeusik Pogrom..

…nor to the Temanggung court, which sentenced an eccentric evangelist to five years for criticising Islam (and that wasn’t enough for the bigot rabble present –

Nor even to the imprisonment, under the so-called ‘blasphemy law,’ of a Shia cleric in East Java, for preaching his own denomination’s beliefs.Outlawing Witchcraft? Outlaw Bakor Pakem! 

These local verdicts are bizarre, to put it charitably.

But what about the higher levels, like the Constitutional Court?

I was scanning the Jakarta Globe over my fourth cup of kopi jawa the other day when I came upon an article by some woman named Barr, from Human Rights Watch, about child marriage.

http://thejakartaglobe.beritasatu.com/opinion/commentary-indonesia-swims-tide-child-marriage/

When I see the word ‘child,’ I tend these days to be on guard.

There was a ludicrous item recently https://www.thebureauinvestigates.com/2015/07/16/600-unaccompanied-child-asylum-seekers-deported-uk-afghanistan/ about the deportation from Britain of  ‘unaccompanied  child asylum seekers,’ a catch-phrase that conjures up images of tiny tots being loaded aboard and shipped off, clutching teddy-bears, to foreign parts.

On closer inspection, it turned out the ‘tot’ who starred in the ‘scandal’ was a 23-year-old, who’d been in the UK for years!

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

And of course there’s the recurrent theme  of renegade ‘British’ ‘children’ sloping off to join rape-gangs in the Middle East, who at 16 or 17 years old are just as capable of knowing what’s right and wrong as you and I were at that age.

Right, back to topic – those paragraphs above simply included to show that I’m not some neo-colonialist that picks on Indonesia while ignoring Western short-comings.

—————————

The Barr article has a go at Indonesia for allowing ‘child marriage.’

–

–

The Constitutional Court rejected a petition against the 1974 Marriage Law, which is indeed open to criticism – not least the disgusting rule that permits primitives to engage in polygamy – men, but not of course women (sex equality doesn’t figure) can take extra spouses, if the existing spouse is disabled, terminally ill or unable to bear children.  

———

https://rossrightangle.wordpress.com/2014/03/21/polygamous-primitives-sacked-in-surabaya/

Any country that countenances polygamy should either outlaw the practice or legalise polyandry, but sadly, many morons here regard women as undeserving of respect as human beings. 

‘Immoral Activities – Sitting in Coffee Shops Laughing and Talking…’ 

IslamoNazi Gauleiter – “Women Already Have Limitations, Let Alone Non-Muslims!” 

-oooooooooooooooooooooo

But in this case the complaints were about that part which permits women and men to marry as they choose once they reach 21, but allows girls to marry at 16 with parental permission. Boys must wait until they are 19 to marry with parental permission.

Ms Barr is agitated about the age of 16, reckoning it’s too young.

But as noted, Scots of that age can vote and, if I’m not wrong, Scotland has traditionally let people marry at that age. And with parental consent, the same applies in various European and US jurisdictions. 

And I have to say, in fairness to the current legal state of affairs, that, having taught teenagers in Jakarta for my first dozen or so years here, Indonesian girls DO often show significantly more mature attitudes than boys.

Of course it’s up to Indonesians to decide on the appropriate age for marriage.

But in this day and age, surely there can be no sensible excuse for discriminating between boys and girls.
