"Asian," of course, is British PC-speak for Muslim.
"Asian PCs 'blocking crackdown on honour killings,'" by Miles Goslett and Daniel Boffey for the Daily Mail
Some Asians in the police and in Government jobs have been accused of blocking the crackdown against so-called honour killings.
It is alleged they are not only failing to help desperate women trying to flee abuse and arranged marriages but are actively encouraging punishment for those they believe are breaking traditional taboos.
Terrified victims who seek official help are even being tracked down by a network of Asian men working in Government departments and social services, according to a study written by the think-tank Social Cohesion.
One woman was found by her family after she signed on at a Jobcentre where a member of the Asian community was working.
The report also claims some Asian police officers actually return women to their abusive families or refuse to act against men enforcing 'traditional' roles.
Meanwhile, non-Asian officials and police officers are scared of acting against families who abuse their relatives for fear of being branded as racist, the report says.

UK: Female Muslim medics 'disobey hygiene rules,' say they're against Islam
"Female Muslim medics 'disobey hygiene rules,'" by Julie Henry and Laura Donnelly for the Telegraph (thanks to Martin):
Muslim medical students are refusing to obey hygiene rules brought in to stop the spread of deadly superbugs, because they say it is against their religion.
Women training in several hospitals in England have raised objections to removing their arm coverings in theatre and to rolling up their sleeves when washing their hands, because it is regarded as immodest in Islam.
Universities and NHS trusts fear many more will refuse to co-operate with new Department of Health guidance, introduced this month, which stipulates that all doctors must be "bare below the elbow".
The measure is deemed necessary to stop the spread of infections such as MRSA and Clostridium difficile, which have killed hundreds.
Minutes of a clinical academics' meeting at Liverpool University revealed that female Muslim students at Alder Hey children's hospital had objected to rolling up their sleeves to wear gowns.
Similar concerns have been raised at Leicester University. Minutes from a medical school committee said that "a number of Muslim females had difficulty in complying with the procedures to roll up sleeves to the elbow for appropriate handwashing".
Sheffield University also reported a case of a Muslim medic who refused to "scrub" as this left her forearms exposed....
Dr Charles Tannock, a Conservative MEP and former hospital consultant, said: "These students are being trained using taxpayers' money and they have a duty of care to their patients not to put their health at risk.
"Perhaps these women should not be choosing medicine as a career if they feel unable to abide by the guidelines that everyone else has to follow."
But the Islamic Medical Association insisted that covering all the body in public, except the face and hands, was a basic tenet of Islam.
"No practising Muslim woman - doctor, medical student, nurse or patient - should be forced to bare her arms below the elbow," it said.

UK capitulates to polygamy, grants extra welfare benefits to men with multiple wives
"Multiple wives will mean multiple benefits," by Jonathan Wynne-Jones for the Telegraph (thanks to all who sent this in):
Husbands with multiple wives have been given the go-ahead to claim extra welfare benefits following a year-long Government review, The Sunday Telegraph can reveal.
Even though bigamy is a crime in Britain, the decision by ministers means that polygamous marriages can now be recognised formally by the state, so long as the weddings took place in countries where the arrangement is legal.
The outcome will chiefly benefit Muslim men with more than one wife, as is permitted under Islamic law. Ministers estimate that up to a thousand polygamous partnerships exist in Britain, although they admit there is no exact record.
The decision has been condemned by the Tories, who accused the Government of offering preferential treatment to a particular group, and of setting a precedent that would lead to demands for further changes in British law.

A Bagdad, Al-Qaida téléguide des "femmes-bombes"
Les deux femmes porteuses de ceintures d'explosifs qui ont été tuées, vendredi 1er février, sur deux marchés bondés de Bagdad, entraînant la mort d'au moins 91 civils irakiens, dont de nombreux enfants, et blessant plus de cent autres personnes, savaient-elles qu'elles allaient elles-mêmes y laisser leur vie ?
"Pas sûr", indiquait peu après le double attentat - le plus meurtrier commis dans la capitale depuis six mois -, un porte-parole de la police irakienne, précisant que les ceintures d'explosifs avaient été actionnées à 20 minutes d'écart, par quelqu'un d'autre, via un téléphone portable, et que les deux "kamikazes" étaient "mentalement dérangées de naissance" et connues comme "les folles du marché" dans leurs quartiers respectifs.
(...)
Après les adolescents, utilisés au moins à deux reprises dans des attentats-suicides en décembre et janvier, l'organisation d'Al-Qaida en Irak, violant un tabou islamique de plus, a-t-elle décidé de systématiser l'utilisation de "femmes-bombes" ? Pour les autorités locales comme pour les Américains, cela ne fait plus aucun doute. "Al-Qaida en Irak a trouvé une nouvelle et meurtrière manière d'essayer de déstabiliser l'Irak", a déclaré, vendredi, Ryan Crocker, l'ambassadeur américain à Bagdad. " Les Irakiens et nous allons devoir veiller à l'élimination de cette menace."

Dhimmi
Le terme dhimmi habituellement traduit en français par allié ou protégé, désigne un sujet non-musulman dans un État régi par la charia, la loi musulmane.
Le terme dhimmi s'applique essentiellement aux gens du livre (Ahl al-kitâb), qui, dans le champ de la gouvernance islamique, moyennant l'acquittement d'une capitation (jizya), une certaine incapacité juridique et le respect de certaines règles édictées dans un "pacte" conclu avec les autorités, se voient accorder une liberté de culte restreinte ainsi que la garantie de sécurité pour leur personne et pour leurs biens.
L'expression Ahl adh-dhimma désigne la communauté des dhimmis.
La jizya est l'impôt que devaient payer les hommes pubères dont les dhimmis vivant en terre d'Islam et qui étaient largement majoritaires dans les territoires nouvellement conquis par l'Islam.
Cet impôt de capitation trouve son fondement dans le Coran :
« Faites la guerre à ceux qui ne croient point en Dieu ni au jour dernier, qui ne regardent point comme défendu ce que Dieu et son apôtre ont défendu, et à ceux d'entre les hommes des Écritures qui ne professent pas la vraie religion. Faites-leur la guerre jusqu'à ce qu'ils payent le tribut de leurs propres mains et qu'ils se soient soumis. »
Certains oulémas imposent toutefois la jizya à tous les non-musulmans, et défendent ainsi de les tuer en dehors du temps de guerre. L'attitude habituelle des dhimmis est, à plus ou moins long terme, la conversion sincère ou apparente, qui permet d'échapper à cet impôt. C'est une des raisons pour lesquelles tous les pays soumis à la Chariah voient leur population non musulmane disparaître, diminuant d'autant les rentrées fiscales, et encourageant à de nouvelles conquêtes.

UK: "Muslim schools to conduct OWN inspections,"
by Graeme Paton for the Telegraph
Private Muslim schools have been given the power to police themselves, despite widespread fears over religious segregation,
In a controversial move, they have won the right to appoint their own Ofsted-style inspectors. A new independent watchdog has been set up to be more "sensitive'' toward Islamic education.The decision comes despite concerns some private Muslim schools are already failing to prepare pupils for life in modern Britain.
Barry Sheerman, the chairman of the Commons schools select committee, told MPs last month local councils were finding it "difficult to know what is going on in some faith schools - particularly Muslim schools".

"Dispute over airport breakroom leads to lawsuit," by Sarah Dallof for KSL.com
A shuttle driver has filed a complaint with the FAA against the Salt Lake International Airport, saying officials allowed thousands of religious services to be conducted on public property. Muslim cab drivers began praying in a small airport building used as a break room after 9-11, because, the airport says, they became targets, with people yelling at them and throwing things.
(...)
Shuttle driver Jeff Brueningsen took photos inside the building he and other drivers share at the airport. "It was definitely an Islamic center." He said it didn't feel right, so he filed a complaint with the FAA against the airport.
"In proper, polite company you never bring up politics or religion. And they introduced both instantly into what's supposed to be a professional, secular transportation-aviation facility," Brueningsen said.
In the complaint he details claims that he was harassed by a group of Muslim drivers who he says have threatened to kill him. It came to a head earlier this month when Brueningsen says Mohammed Alahmed and other drivers attacked him.
"They were going like this, using their fingers, saying, ‘You F-ing Jew, you don't want us to pray here,'" Brueningsen says.
