Al-Qaeda Leader Calls For Jihad Against US, Targets Trump, Others Over Israel Support
An Al-Qaeda leader with a $6 million bounty has urged the assassination of Trump, Musk, Rubio, and other White House allies over America's pro-Israel stance.
Sa’ad Bin Atef Al-Awlaki, the leader of Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), has released a disturbing 34-minute video in which he calls for jihad against the United States and the assassination of U.S. President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and several individuals closely tied to the White House.

In his message, Al-Awlaki escalated his rhetoric further, urging supporters to also target the families of American officials with connections to the current administration.

This video emerged in the context of the United States reaffirming its support for Israel amid the ongoing conflict in Gaza.

“There are no boundaries left after what has occurred—and continues to occur—to our people in Gaza,” Al-Awlaki proclaimed, making an open call to Muslims residing in the United States, regardless of their racial or national origin, to seek vengeance.

“As an initial and decisive action, I call upon every Muslim living in the sinful, arrogant, and criminal United States—whether Arab, American, or of any other descent. The only thing that matters is that they are Muslims, followers of the Prophet Muhammad,” he stated.

Miyagi halts Muslim burial site plan amid pushback

Excerpts - not in order:
Under Japan’s cemetery and burial law and prefectural ordinances, new cemeteries require approval from local municipalities. Although Japan does not legally prohibit burials, many municipalities effectively ban them through local ordinances.

The idea to build burial sites for Muslims emerged as part of Miyagi Prefecture’s efforts to attract foreign workers, particularly from Islamic countries such as Indonesia.

Due to religious beliefs, Muslims cannot be cremated, but Japan has only about 10 cemeteries nationwide that allow burials.

In 2023, the prefectural government signed a memorandum with the Indonesian government to accept more technical interns and skilled workers.

Anticipating a rise in long-term residents, Murai had identified the need to “create a supportive living environment,” including burial options, as a key policy goal.

In October last year, Murai told the prefectural assembly that he wanted to explore building burial sites for Muslims and others who, for religious reasons, do not wish to be cremated. Prefectural staff began visiting existing burial sites outside the prefecture to gather information.

When media reported in late December that Murai was considering building burial sites, the prefectural office was flooded with calls and emails expressing concern and opposition.

In March, Murai condemned discriminatory social media posts targeting Muslims and reiterated his commitment to the burial site plan.

“Japan originally had a burial culture. Christianity is also based on burial. Even the imperial family used to be buried,” he said.

He emphasized that the issue affected not only foreign residents but also Japanese converts to Islam.

The sudden reversal has sparked speculation that Murai’s decision was politically motivated. He is currently serving his fifth term and plans to run for a sixth. Official campaigning will kick off on Oct. 9 and voting is scheduled for Oct. 26.

Japan
Social media lies spark outcry over halal school lunch petition
KITA-KYUSHU, Fukuoka Prefecture–Education officials here are grappling with an xenophobic backlash sparked by social media misinformation claiming that the city plans to provide school lunch options tailored for Muslim students.

Over a six-day period ending Sept. 24, officials received more than 1,000 complaints and inquiries, with some residents stating, “If they are attending Japanese schools, they should eat what is served."

At a news conference on Sept. 24, the city’s board of education clarified that no decision has been made to introduce meals specifically for Muslim students.

“As someone responsible for educational administration, I find this deeply disheartening,” said Kiyoji Ota, who heads the board. “Our goal is simply to see children enjoying their meals. I hope people will take a moment to reflect on that.”

The controversy stems from a 2023 petition submitted by a Muslim woman requesting halal school lunches. Although the issue was discussed in the municipal assembly, the petition was ultimately not adopted.

However, misleading claims spread online, suggesting the petition had passed and that the city had implemented Muslim-focused school lunches.

Officials emphasized the logistical challenges of implementing halal meals citywide, citing limited kitchen facilities, staffing and budget.

Meanwhile, they also highlighted ongoing efforts to make meals more inclusive for students with allergies and general religious dietary needs—not specifically those of Muslim students.

For example, some dishes have substituted chicken for pork. As a result, these changes have created more opportunities for Muslim students to eat the same meals as their peers, officials noted.

The development comes amid a growing wave of anti-immigrant sentiment in Japan, as the country sees an increasing number of foreign workers and tourists.

This week, the Japan International Cooperation Agency is expected to scrap its Africa Hometown project following a similar backlash fueled by social media misinformation.

The symbolic cultural and international friendship program was misunderstood as a plan to issue special visas to migrants from four African countries, prompting widespread criticism of the aid agency.

A lot of people want to go with the winner.

For some reason which I have not been able to understand, Leftists, whether the Communist Party of India, or the Left in the US, are critical of all religions with the exception of Islam. And the Leftists continue to portray Hinduism as a problem-ridden loser’s religion.

The rightists in the West promote Christianity of course.

In deed and in narrative we need the Hindu traditions to enjoy a high level of respect universally. Of course cult members will never respect us; but we should be seen as best adapted to handle the future.

Buddhism was a sitting duck for Islam when it came to India, and has more recently been a sitting duck for Christianity when it went to East and Southeast Asia.

No wonder University-educated Westerners who deplore Hindootva are all full of praise for Buddhism as enlightened and progressive.

On the rare occasions when Buddhists organize and stand up for themselves— as in Myanmar, against the Rohingya jihadi terrorists— the Western Liberal tone quickly changes to one of vituperative hostility.

Japan was already entering the technology age during the close of the 19th century. The Meiji restoration. They had and have an intense xenophobia possibly given their sequestered geography.

Their modernisation is actually 150 yrs old. Korea was poor as India in the 1960s. Japan had a per capita income of $3000 in the late 1950s when India’s was about $250.

Japan has many lessons to offer. But they do need to reinvent themselves. I don’t see how except through wholesale immigration. Even a dramatic stimulation of births will only generate results in 20-30 years.


I would like to see data on Christian numbers in Japan versus personal income. They are a post religion society so that may mean the Christians essentially lapsed rather than reconverted or had the next generation revert.

...
Their entry to the technology age was via the west (as is true for all nations given that the industrial revolution began in the west). Their defeat in WW2 was also courtesy the west.

Both those things didn't make them embrace christianity. This was because of their immense belief in the superiority of their own culture to the point of - 'They had and have an intense xenophobia.. '

We are well aware of what they did to the indian troops they captured in WW2

Buddhism is also responsible for collapse of Afghanistan and Bengal to Islam. Buddhism was not able to put any resistance and Islam had a cakewalk. Only the sword of Hindus could save themselves.

Wild scenes in the Senate today. Senator Hanson tried to introduce her “ban the burqa” bill and the Senate refused to let her table it.

She then went outside and returned wearing a burqa and took her seat.

That's when the Greens, Labor, and even the leader of the Liberals all spoke against her and her attire.

The President then ruled to remove Senator Hanson from the Senate. They were not happy with her wearing the burqa, yet refused to allow to introduce her "ban the burqa" bill.

Was it a stunt? Yes, but plenty of other Senators in that place have done stunts before, who can forget the Greens bringing a dead fish into the Senate?

Senator Hanson was elected by Queenslanders and she should have the right to introduce any bill she chooses. It is then up to the Senate to vote yes or no on that bill after a debate, but blocking its introduction is anti democratic.

Wikipedia plays both sides against the middle, or so CAIR says. Hindus/Indians have no voice.

https://www.cair.com/press_releases/cai ... -genocide/
The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, joined with 42 organizations to urge Wikipedia editors and the Wikimedia Board of Trustees to reject the efforts of Wikimedia co-founders Jimmy Wales and Larry Sanger to censor the “Gaza genocide” entry on Wikipedia.


READ THE LETTER

Last month, Wikipedia co-founders Jimmy Wales and Larry Sanger posted statements on Wikipedia denying the reality that Israel has committed genocide in Gaza. In doing so, they used their roles as Wikipedia founders to bypass the normal editing and review process and introduce their own ideological biases into an entry that has already undergone thousands of edits and comments by Wikipedia editors. Wales had previously declared himself to be “a strong supporter of Israel,” adding, “I don’t listen to those critics.” He has visited Israel over ten times and received a $1 million award from Tel Aviv University.

The attempted censorship by Wales and Sanger has triggered a wave of online criticism from the international community of Wikipedia editors. A broad consensus of genocide scholars, international human rights organizations, UN experts, and both Palestinian and Israeli human rights organizations have determined that Israel has committed genocide in Gaza.

In a letter, CAIR and 42 organizations stated:

“We call on the Wikimedia Board of Trustees and Wikipedia editors to reject and block the efforts of Wikimedia co-founders Jimmy Wales and Larry Sanger to deny the inescapable conclusion that Israel has committed genocide in Gaza. We also call on Wales, Sanger, and Wikimedia Foundation trustees to reveal all sources of external pressure to engage in denial of the Gaza genocide, including from Israeli government officials or pro-Israel advocacy networks. Wales and Sanger must be stopped from trying to censor the Wikipedia ‘Gaza genocide’ entry that clearly documents Israel’s horrifying crime against humanity.
