This must be about the sixth or seventh time in the past month we have noticed the same type of crime. A person -usually homeless- who is doused with gas or lighter fluid then set on fire.  This happened three times in Saint Louis recently.
Ventura, CA – (FOX 11) – Police said three suspects lit a homeless man on fire Saturday night while he slept on Ventura Beach and suffered burns on 40 percent of his body.
Investigators said the three suspects allegedly poured lighter fluid on the man, identified as 58-year-old John Frazier, as well as his sleeping bag and other personal items.
A bystander noticed the flames around 11 p.m. near the 1100 block of South Seaward Avenue and put out the fire with sand before calling 911.
Frazier was taken to a nearby hospital with second and third degree burns on his upper torso and face, but is expected to survive. (more…)

These villagers refused to be the next victims of religious genocide – they fought back and won – unlike the recent village where 2,500 were killed.

AFRICA – Several Nigerian media outlets have been reporting on local women in the villages of Attagara and Kawuri in Borno State who recently disarmed nearly a dozen Boko Haram terrorists. The notorious pseudo-Islamic terror groups tried to attack the Attagara and Kawuri communities over the weekend but the insurgents were instantly repelled by a group of armed women.

The Attagara and Kawuri villages in Gwoza and Bama Local Government Areas of Borno State resisted the attack using an array of local talismans and, of course, their assault weapons came in handy as well.
Almost immediately, the community rallied round to apprehend the insurgents. At least three of the terrorists managed to flee, but community members say that seven were arrested and executed. (more…)

If you’ve been with us for a while, and you know about the 2010 Rivkin Project, you are able to see the profound confirmation to our 2011 analysis contained within this message from President Obama.

WASHINGTON (AFP) – Europe must do more to better integrate its Muslim communities, and not “simply respond with a hammer”, US President Barack Obama said Friday in the wake of last week’s terror attacks in France.

“Our biggest advantage, major, is that our Muslim populations – they feel themselves to be Americans,” Obama told a joint press conference with British Prime Minister David Cameron.

“There are parts of Europe in which that’s not the case. And that’s probably the greatest danger that Europe faces… it’s important for Europe not to simply respond with a hammer and law enforcement and military approaches to these problems.”

18-year-old Antreal Jones, 17-year-old Jerome Moore and 16-year-old Antwain Dukes. Dukes and Jones were out on bond for a March 2014 armed robbery. Both suspects have previously been indicted on this charge and were awaiting trial when they killed 69-year-old Carolyn Temple.

Jerome Moore’s Mom (Sharonda Burns):

“My son is known for house burglary. That’s all. He’s been going to the Juvenile Center for his house burglary,” Sharonda Burns told us. “For one, my son is not going to shoot no gun. Now, I’m not saying he won’t rob nobody, but I know he won’t shoot no gun. He was not there the time the lady got attacked. I know for a fact where he was. He was not involved in that murder.”

[…]  January 07, 2015: At 6:45 pm Carolyn Temple was robbed and shot by two suspects on Euclid Drive. Witnesses reported hearing one gunshot then say they saw two suspects flee the scene in a Maroon 4 door vehicle. (more…)

HOUSTON, Texas — A customer is being called a hero after pulling a gun on two armed robbery suspects at a Houston restaurant.
It happened just after 8 p.m. Saturday at K&S Seafood Bar and Grill in the 7000 block of North Gessner Road.
Koy Sam and his wife were closing at the time and two customers were finishing their meals when two men walked in with guns.

MISSISSIPPI – Two men are in custody and a third is wanted in the death of Carolyn Temple, a Jackson woman who was shot last week and died Monday night.
Antreal Jones and Jerome Moore, both 17, were arrested after a standoff with police at McDowell Road and Woodside Drive. They were initially suspected in at least one carjacking, but police suspected they were involved in the January 7 incident on Euclid Street when Temple was robbed and shot. She died of her injuries Monday night.
Jones and Moore have both been charged with capital murder and armed carjacking. A third suspect in Temple’s death has been identified as Antwain Dukes, 16. A capital murder warrant has been issued for his arrest. He is considered armed and dangerous.

She had gone to the street to bring up the garbage cans from the curb when she was attacked by two men who attempted to take her purse. When she resisted, they hit her in the head with the gun and then shot her. (more…)

Remarkable bravery considering the backlash Recep Erdogan is likely to retaliate with.
(Via PJ Media) A newspaper in Turkey whose roots stretch to the founding of the modern republic will truly live the words “je suis Charlie” on Wednesday when it publishes the new Charlie Hebdo issue in Turkish despite threats.
Cumhuriyet (The Republic), founded in 1924 at the encouragement of Mustafa Kemal, tweeted that it will continue to “defend the freedom of expression” and will dedicate four of its pages to the French satirical paper’s content. They’ll also reportedly double their normal press run to 100,000 copies.
Besides French, the only other language of Charlie Hebdo in print will be Italian. English, Spanish, and Arabic versions will be available in online formats.
Threats have reportedly been pouring into the newspaper in the 99 percent Muslim country, and some overtly posted on Twitter. Ankara Mayor Melih Gökçek, a member of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s Islamist Justice and Development Party (AKP), stoked the flames by tweeting in all caps that the paper was about to commit a “serious provocation” and asking followers to spread the word. He also accused the newspaper of working with some foreign power and declared it a “game of the enemies of Islam.” (more…)

NBC contributor Mike Barnicle explained on “Morning Joe” that the network won’t display the cartoons because “they are deemed to be offensive.”  [pictured below fold]
Hosts Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough both agreed with the network’s decision. “There are certain cartoons that are offensive — that have vulgar tinges to them — and I don’t see the need to show them to anybody,” Brezezinski said. “I really don’t.”

Both President Obama and Francois Hollande have refused to connect the terrorism in the U.S., France, Australia, Canada and North Africa to Islamic Extremism.  This cognitive disconnect they continue to exhibit exists despite the terrorists themselves clearly proclaiming their intents and motives.
(Via Vocativ) A new video released by an official ISIS forum shows Amedy Coulibaly, the 32-year-old terrorist who murdered four men during the Hyper Cacher siege in Paris, declaring his loyalty to the Islamic State.

“I’m a soldier of the Caliphate [ISIS] since the beginning,” Coulibaly says in the video. “Our group was coordinated before the attack. France is a legitimate target because [of] what they are doing to us.”
Coulibaly explains how he helped the Kouachi brothers prepare for the attack: “We did a few things together and a few things separately to maximize the impact. I helped them by giving them a few thousand euros to buy what they needed.” (more…)

WASHINGTON (CNN) — President Barack Obama’s administration admitted it erred by failing to send a higher-ranking representative of the United States to the Paris unity march on Sunday.
He said Obama himself would have liked to attend the march “had the circumstances been a little different.” But planning began Friday night, 36 hours before the event began, and there wasn’t enough time for the “onerous and significant” security work that needed to take place ahead of a presidential visit, Earnest said. He said Obama’s presence also would have meant extra restrictions on the people who were there. (read more)
