The American Embassy in Prague is financing a new project aimed at promoting Islam in public elementary and secondary schools across the Czech Republic.
The new law removes the requirement that there must be a special
reason to sue for defamation or insult. Swedish thought police will be
able to prosecute anyone who expresses an opinion about Muslim
immigration and much else if that opinion is deemed to be defamation or
slander. The Swedish government is also spending 60 million krona ($9
million) to boost voter turnout in Muslim neighborhoods.
"The influx of immigrants is reaching biblical proportions. Italy is
fighting a losing battle." — Admiral Giuseppe De Giorgi, Head of the
Italian Navy
In
Austria, police say they believe that
two teenage girls
who vanished from their homes in the capital of Vienna on April 10 may
be in Turkey, and that whoever helped them get there is using them as
pin-up girls to boost recruitment efforts
for the "holy war" in Syria.
Friends of Samra Kesinovic, 16, and Sabina Selimovic, 15, said the
girls had become radicalized after attending a local mosque run by a Salafist preacher,
Ebu Tejma, and learning about the duty of every Muslim to participate in jihad.
The girls were expelled from school after inscribing "I Love Al-Qaeda" on tables and walls.
But the girls' parents—originally Bosnian refugees who settled in
Austria after the ethnic conflicts of the 1990s—say that messages and
photographs posted on
social media networks which claim that the girls are on the
front line and fighting with their new husbands are
fake.
In a possible break in the case, Austrian police say they
traced a phone call Samra made to her sister in late April to a landline based in Turkey. The
search for the girls continues.
At least 100 Austrian citizens or residents have participated in the fighting in Syria, according to Austrian
media.
Approximately 40 of them are currently on the front lines, 44 have
already returned to Austria and 19 have been killed in action.
