The disgusting list of crimes reported in the German city run to a staggering 821 complaints, and range from sexual assaults to gang rape.

When including reported attacks from all of the major cities in the North Rhine-Westphalia state – including Cologne, Dusseldorf, Dortmund and Bielefeld – the complaint figure is said to almost top 1,000.

A shocking 359 complaints relate to sexual offences, while 659 women were recorded as alleged victims, according to the list finally published by NRW state government.

It also revealed 126 claims of "rape by a group" and 47 allegations of "sexual assault by a group."

The release of the full list follows repeated claims of a cover up by German authorities and media.

About Sharia Unveiled

TRUTH!

                                           

…in a word, that is what sharia unveiled is about.

sharia unveiled is committed to seeking and sharing the truth.  In all things, there is only one truth.  There is no "middle ground" in truth.  There is no "compromise" in truth and there is no "tolerance" in truth.  There is no "leukewarm" in truth.  There are no "grey areas" in truth.  Truth is black and white.  Wrong or Right.  There is truth and everything else is just a lie.

We live in this world although we are not of it.

We live in a world of darkness, lies and deception.  We live in a world that protects, defends and rewards those who lie.  Why?  Primarily due to the fact that faith is being forced out of the world and evil is being invited in.  When we force G-d out essentially, we are creating a vacuum in society.  We are creating a void of empty space and the natural tendency is for that space to be filled.  The door has been left open and evil has been invited in.  Evil comes in many … READ THE REST

The Truth

This site is dedicated to pulling back the veil that enshrouds the truth about islam and sharia law.  There is an evil core beneath the doctrine of al-Qur'an & al-Hadith and we will illuminate that darkness, as well as the minds of those who seek the truth.

Islam is a perversion of the truth.  It is a cult of indoctrination.  It is a method of spiritual enslavement and physical subjugation.  We do not speak against islam, but rather we allow islam to speak for itself:

Islam and sharia law teach, preach and carry out the following acts:

– In accordance with the surahs of al-qur'an and teachings of al-hadith

1.  STONING:  Burying women in the ground, up to their chest and stoning them to death.

2.  ACID BURNING:  Throwing acid on the faces of women and ocassionally [sic] men, causing blindness, permanant [sic]  severe disfiguration and sometimes death.

3.  HONOUR KILLING:  The murdering of young girls and women for "dishonouring" the family.  The most common methods used are:   Beheading, stabbing to death or setting the woman on fire and burning her to death  .

4.  BEHEADING:  Cutting off the head with a knife or sword, at the neck/throat.  This act is usually carried out against "infidels" (non-muslims), Jewish People and Judeo-Christians.  Also, anyone who converts from Islam to another religion.

5.  FEMALE GENITAL MUTILATION (FGM):  The practice of slicing off the genitalia of all very young muslim girls with a blade or piece of broken glass.  This includes the clitoris and labia minora.  This is a practice that the males in islam demand to prevent the females from receiving any pleasure from intercourse.  The males essentially believe that, ".. if the woman is unable to derive pleasure from intercourse, she will not cheat and will remain faithful in marriage."  – – (Keep in mind that muslim men are allowed to have as many wives and girlfriends as they desire.)

6.  ENSLAVEMENT:  Slavery is still practiced in almost every one of the 65 islamic nations of the world today.  Most of these slaves are of African descent.      

There is another veil that requires removal and that is the veil of deception that has been placed over the eye's [sic]  of the world.  We have ALL been indoctrinated by deception, conditioned by censorship and desensitized by lies… into believing islam is a "religion of love and peace."  Hmmm… well, let's see…

Are YOU a Bigot if YOU Hate Islam?

John R. Houk

© November 25, 2013

Here come the accusations of hater and bigot.

Islam is an evil religion. Its adherents love to call their faith the religion of peace. That is a bit of a deceptive moniker. There are a lot of Quranic suras that indeed extol peace and family; however an equal or greater amount of Islamic theology extols violence to those who refuse to submit to allah or to those who insult allah and the antichrist prophet Mohammed. The verbal anger in the newest suras of the Quran reflect Mohammed’s frustration of being rejected as a prophet by Jews and Christians. The rejection is easy to understand. Mohammed goes from calling the People of the Book (i.e. the Torah and Bible) as people to be respected as receiving – cough – allah’s revelations first to calling Jews and Christians as evil twisted deceivers of allah’s word who corrupted scripture ensuring their place in hell. So if you happen to see a Jew hiding then kill’em.

And so although I believe those who call themselves Muslims may be decent and upright in character kind-of-people, their theology when honored as pure is evil toward non-Muslims (aka kafir).

As an American devoted to the Freedom and Rights inherent in the First Amendment I have struggled with Islam as being a religion that should be freely practiced in the USA.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances. (Bold Emphasis Mine - 1^st Amendment to U.S. Constitution)

Americans are guaranteed to not have an established religion by the government AND Americans are guaranteed that the government will not prohibit the free exercise of religion. So how do Constitutional honoring Americans who are not Muslims deal with a religion in which a part of its theology is to transform the social-political nature of nature by force if necessary. In other words a devoted Muslim would not be off base towards his faith to fight against the U.S. Constitution as the basis for the rule of law by changing the legal foundation to Sharia Law. Sharia Law stands against everything the U.S. Constitution stands and in particular Sharia Law is a contradiction to the Constitution’s Bill of Rights (Amendments 1 – 10).

In Islam there is no Religious Freedom because Islam is supreme and the non-Muslim is an insult.

In Islam there is no Free Speech because if Islam, its deity allah and/or its prophet Mohammed are insulted punishment must follow up to and including the death penalty.

In Islam Non-Muslims cannot assemble peaceably especially to worship their faith openly because that would be an insult to the supremacy of Islam – punishment will follow.

If non-Muslims petition the government with a grievance that might be contrary to Sharia Law it would be considered an effrontery to Islam – punishment will follow.

AND this just addresses the First Amendment!

Islam is a religion that is beyond an individual seeking the spiritual answers to that which is divine. Islam is an ideological-political religion that absolutely demands the government to enforce the precepts of Islam as derived from the Quran, Hadith and Sira (Sunna). When you here a Muslim inform you that their Quran claims there is no compulsion of religion in Islam – it is a deception. If one chooses to retain their non-Muslim faith and are lucky enough to be a member of the People of the Book, you are not compelled to convert to Islam. The deception is – especially in a Muslim dominated nation – your life is made a living hell of humiliation and religious taxation that only the most ardent non-Muslims choose not to convert. That is how the Christian Middle East and North Africa changed from a Christian majority into a Muslim majority. Converting to Islam removed 2^nd class humiliation status to the Muslim family of the Umma. So always remember the ‘Islam is Peace’ and ‘there is no compulsion of religion in Islam’ are deceptions meant to entice the kafir to enter Islam.

It is thus my opinion that Islam that adheres to a purist belief – i.e. an original loyalty to the early meanings of Islamic theology – should be banned in America as not a religion but as a political element dedicated to the overthrow of the U.S. Constitution. Frankly such a reform for Muslim-Americans is something they will not stomach. Just as Christians are taught the Bible is Holy and Jews are taught the Torah is Holy, Muslims are taught that the Quran is the irrefutable word of allah (what they call god). The difference for Jews and Christians is that our theology tells to submit to the ruling authorities as appointed by God even if they are heathen because the political authority is the instrument that administers right over wrong in society. If you do no wrong then there should be a peaceful life. Contrarily Islamic theology is to fight the kafir until they submit or fool the kafir until the Ummah is strong enough to force kafir to submit. Jews and Christians pray for peace. Muslims force submission to enfranchise an Islamic Supremacist peace. The Islamic political nature is contrary to the U.S. Constitution.

So I advocate a ban on any Islamic theology that is politically motivated to utilize violence to achieve the ends of destroying the U.S. Constitution. This is where the hater and bigot accusations should really begin to fly.

There is an essence of truth to the accusations. As a Christian I can say without any remorse that Islam is an antichrist religion. Islam denies the Sonship and Godhood of Jesus Christ. The New Testament specifically tells Christians that such a belief is an antichrist spirit. HOWEVER, the New Testament also teaches us to love our enemies and to pray for those who persecute you.  So I can confidently say I hate Islam the theo-political religion but I pray for the peace and Salvation of all Muslim adherents.

Allow me to briefly switch gears on you. I have a different perspective on Jews. In Christian history Jews have often been vilified as Christ-Killers. Merely that sentiment alone would make Judaism an antichrist religion. HOWEVER, Christians forget that Christ came first to the lost sheep of Israel. At the Resurrection the disciples wondered if this was the time that Israel would be restored the Lord Jesus told them to the effect not yet and then gave last instructions to go into all the world witness of Jesus Christ first to “…Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” (Matt. 28: 18-20; Mk.16: 15-16; Acts 1: 6-8). The ONLY Christians when Jesus spoke to his disciples were indeed Jews. God’s Promises are to the Jews. Salvation is of the Jews. When non-Jews receive Christ Jesus they are engrafted (NOT REPLACING) into God’s Promises to the Jews. It is my unlearned opinion that although the majority of Jews reject Christ’s Messiahship now, there will be a time when they embrace Jesus. Remember the Twelve Apostles did not immediately believe Jesus Christ arose from the dead and the Apostle Thomas was the last hold-out in that non-belief. I believe the Jews of today are the modern doubting Thomases that will believe when they see the return of King Jesus. So I honor Jews as the Chosen People rather than as Christ-killers.

Now what was it that got me thinking about Islam and the U.S. Constitution and First Amendment Religious Freedom?

I subscribe to Sharia Unveiled. One of my favorite blogs has come across some information that the nation of Angola (western neighbor of Congo, Zambia & Namibia) has banned Islam from being legal. The government has even taken the step of destroying Mosques in Angola. Now it being Africa I suspect this will not be a non-violent situation in Angola.

The Angola government has had a Marxist-Leninist domination from about the 1970s. Apparently Angola place a new Constitution in 1991 and again 2002 that changed the government into a multiparty system; however elections seem plagued by corruption. The (Marxist) Popular Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA) has been the primary power holder since Angolan independence from Portugal in 1975. There had been an Angolan civil war off and on especially in the old Cold War days of the USSR vs. USA. As the word “Marxist” implies the Communism á la Marxist-Leninism was the dominant rule of law factor in Angola. Meaning not friendly to religion. Apparently after 2002 (and beyond) the still dominant MPLA eased up religious intolerance under an official democratic socialism rather than a Marxist dictatorship. However the way the Angolan Constitution is framed almost absolute power is vested into the Office of President. The President is chosen by the majority party in Parliament.

The power structure is important to understand the ability of the government to move against the Muslim minority of Angola. The Marxist influence the quarter century inspired the Angolan government to move against the legality of Islam when it determined that al Qaeda began using its influence among the 80-90 thousand Muslims via NGOs. So in Angola Islam is illegal to keep Radical Islam out. The only problem I have with this Angolan move is that if the government reverts back to an anti-religion policy that would include the shutdown of all religions in the despotic nation.

President Jose Eduardo dos Santos of Angola

The fight against Islam does not seem to be exclusive to westerners.  According to the African press, Angola is determined to eradicate Islam from its territory.

Thus Muslims Luanda saw their mosque being destroyed.  The municipality of the town was radically breaking the only mosque in the city. Just days later, this is the Mosque of Viana was reduced to dust.

VIDEO: Angola Bans Islam and Shuts Down All Mosques

To excuse these unjust acts, the governor of the city said that the government of the country was not ready to legalize the construction of mosques. Similarly, earlier this week, the Minister of Culture, Rosa Cruz e Silva said: “With regard to Islam, the legalization process has not been approved by the Ministry of Justice and Human Man, their mosques will be closed until further notice. ”

Now the main task of the Angolan government would destroy all the mosques located in the country because their status is considered “illegal”. This “illegal” status is further enhanced by the fact that the Muslim religion is considered contrary to the customs and the habits of the country. Therefore, leaders want the ban at all costs.

Although the proportion of Muslims is small, it prevents our Angolan brothers are suffering from this anti-Islam political regime. Allah assists and facilitates the Hijra!

A report has been issued stating the following:

“The legalisation of Islam has not been approved by the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights [and] their mosques will be closed until further notice,” said minister of culture Rosa Cruz e Silva.

The minister called Islam a “sect” which would be banned as counter to Angolan customs and culture.

Following the ban, there were unconfirmed reports that mosques across the vast southern African nation were being destroyed.

“This is the final end of Islamic influence in our country,” President Jose Edurado dos Santos told the Osun Defence daily.

Muslims account for less than 1% of the population of 19 million, while more than half of this former Portuguese colony subscribe to Christianity.

Clashes between the two communities are frequently reported in the local media. Muslims, many of whom migrated from west Africa and Lebanon, often face hostility from lawmakers in Angola.

Along with Islam, 194 other “sects” have been outlawed.

“Besides these, there is a long list of more than 1,000 applications to be authorised,” said Silva.

CAIR-HAMAS Bully Tactics Against Teacher Result in a Backlash

I grew up in a small town in Washington State. I admire that the community of Concrete, WA are standing up for Middle School teacher Mary Janda against the Islamic terrorist supporting Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR).

CAIR-HAMAS Bully Tactics Against Teacher Result in a Backlash

By Christopher Collins

March 24, 2013

Sharia Unveiled

Community Rallies Around Teacher Intimidated by CAIR-HAMAS Terrorist Organization of America

The community of Concrete, Washington rallied around Mary Janda, a veteran teacher of 21 years at the Concrete Middle School in Concrete, WA, who was under attack by the radical Washington affiliate of Hamas-connected Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), accusing her of racism against Muslims on Tuesday.

According to Jason Miller of the Concrete Harold, more than 450 people, nearly half of the total population of Concrete, filled the Concrete Assembly of God Church in support of teacher Mary Janda.

Miller said that ACT! For America Washington Director Kerry Hooks joined Shahram Hadian, a former Muslim and the founder of the Truth In Love Project spoke at the rally.

“You’re not dealing with a civil rights group. That is a front,” said Hadian. “You are dealing with a group that has billions of dollars behind them from elements that want to further Islamic law.”

Miller said that Hadian was born in Iran and is now a U.S. citizen. He said he witnessed “oppressive radical Islam” take over his country, and sees the same strategies being used by CAIR to insert its version of Islam into the public school system. “The access they’ve been given in our public schools is not being given to any other group,” he said. “They want specialized treatment for their brand of Islam.”

The planned rally was reported on March 16 by the Paulding County Republican Examiner when the announcement came from the national chapter ACT! For America in response to CAIR’s attack on Ms. Janda.

The alleged incident occurred last October but the radical Islamic group began last month calling for federal investigators to look into the Concrete School District after the allegations that the teacher, Mary Janda, made racist remarks.

At that time, CAIR accused her of racism when she said during a class discussion on bullying that terrorist organizations, Hamas and the Taliban were examples of organizations that use violence to bully people.

On his website, Shahram Hadian  said on Wednesday, “Despite Concrete’s population of just over 700 people, an estimated 450 people overflowed a community meeting to show their support for teacher Mary Janda and the Concrete community, who are being maliciously bullied and maligned by the Muslim Brotherhood/HAMAS front-group, CAIR.”

“The crowd was so large that people spilled over into the foyer, nursery, and kitchen of the church, and another 40-50 people were standing outside listening through the open windows. It was incredible to see the overwhelming outpouring of support for this courageous teacher, and to see the crowd rise in a standing ovation for her at the end of the night! People drove long distances to come and communicate to the people of Concrete, “You are not alone.” They came from as far as Olympia, Pierce County, Bellingham, Canada, Walla Walla, and Idaho,” said Hadian.

“We also presented evidence of CAIR’s direct ties to multiple terrorist groups (including the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas). It was such an honor to get to stand with the community of Concrete, this brave teacher, and all those who came from around the state and beyond. We must stand courageously together as the battle continues in defense of our freedoms, our founding principles, and the pursuit of truth.Thank you to all of you who prayed for last night. Indeed God moved powerfully.”

Hadian also said that CAIR was to meet his Sunday and to continue to pray that the truth will prevail.

Local citizens in Concrete, WA reached out to ACT! For America for their help and they responded. ACT! For America connected Ms. Janda to pro Bono legal counsel and their chapters and members in Washington  organized the local rally in support of Ms. Janda.

Homicide Car Bomb Attack Murders Aleast 41 Christians in Nigeria

I follow Sharia Unveiled. This blog provides volumes of information on the darker nature of Islam that Leftist Multiculturists and Islamic Apologists try to hide from non-Muslim eyes.

If you listen to the press you might think Nigeria is a Muslim nation. The reality is there are nearly as many Christians as Muslims in Nigeria yet the Muslims are constantly killing and persecuting Christians in Nigeria. Muslim members of Nigeria’s army are even aiding Muslim massacres of Christians. Of course as in all religious conflicts Christians are responding in probably equal forms of murder to avenge against Islamic murders of Christians. Since the Nigerian government is failing to prosecute and stamp out Muslim terrorism, I am not surprised that Christians are engaging in terrorism. There is no justification in terrorism yet there is justification for self-preservation if Islamic Supremacist terrorists are intent to eradicate Christians merely because they openly worship the Son of God Messiah Savior of the world rather than the Anti-Christ spirit of Islam.

Homicide Car Bomb Attack Murders Aleast 41 Christians in Nigeria

Posted by Sharia Unveiled

March 22, 2013

By Salisu Rabiu and Yinka Ibukun

KANO, Nigeria — At least 41 people died in a suicide car bomb that struck a bus station in a Christian neighborhood in Kano, northern Nigeria’s busiest commercial center, in the most deadly attack in nine months that is blamed on Islamic extremists, an official said Tuesday.

The blast increased tensions in this divided West African nation.

At least 44 others were injured in the attack that hit the city of Kano Monday evening, a rescue official who asked not to be named because he is not authorized to speak to the press. Kano state police said Tuesday that two men rammed an explosive-laden blue VW Golf into a full passenger bus in a mainly Christian enclave in the predominantly Muslim commercial center.

    

      By striking at about 5 p.m. Monday, the bombers seemed to have targeted passengers preparing for the 15-hour overnight road trip to the megacity of Lagos in Nigeria’s south, loved ones bidding them farewell and vendors selling drinks and snacks. The blast triggered panic and pandemonium in a city that has seen similar violence in the past.

Kano police chief Musa Daura had said in a statement that at least 22 people had died, but the rescue official said there were 41 deaths at least. He said there were 21 bodies were at Murtala Muhammad Specialist Hospital and 20 more at Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital, said rescue officials. They are also treating 41 and 3 injured respectively. Police has downplayed figures in the past to avoid reprisals.

The injured suffered varying degrees of wounds. Sabiu Musa, a 29-year old trader, had a burned hand, while Francis Oke sustained injuries so grave that he could barely speak.

Oke’s wife sat by his bedside and answered calls from those inquiring over his progress. “Thank God I survived. Thank God I survived,” was all her husband kept whispering in a ward dedicated to the blast victims at the specialist hospital.

Assistance to the injured came late because security forces said the explosion site was not safe, said the rescue official, who refused to give his name because he is not authorized to speak to the press. In previous attacks, bombers have timed a second explosion soon after the first one, often causing more damage; but a second bomb did not come in this case. A fire, however, raged for more than four hours before it was put out. At the specialist hospital, nearly all those admitted suffered burns.

No group claimed responsibility for the attack, but suspicion immediately fell on the radical Islamic network Boko Haram. Monday’s attack came more than a year after the Jan. 20, 2012 coordinated Boko Haram attacks that left more than 150 people dead in Kano. It also came about nine months after a trio of attacks on churches in the cities of Zaria and Kaduna claimed by the group, setting off violence that eclipsed the original attacks, bringing the death toll to at least 98 people.

The group has been waging a campaign of bombings and shootings across Nigeria’s north. It is held responsible for more than 790 deaths last year alone, and dozens more since the beginning of this year.

The car bombing was the latest high-casualty attack deepening religious tensions in a West African nation of more than 160 million people evenly divided between Muslims and Christians. However, Boko Haram has carried out a string of suicide bombings targeting churches, government buildings, security facilities and crowded areas, such as markets and bars, as well as countless drive-by killings.

On Tuesday morning, while the city still reeled from the explosions, a policewoman was killed in a drive-by shooting as she stopped to replace a flat tire, Kano police said. Hours later, three soldiers were killed as a suicide bomber rammed in a military van Tuesday in northeastern city of Maiduguri, the group’s spiritual home, said a soldier who survived the attack.

As the extremists’ threat grows, the Nigeria government has been unable to stop the killings, even in main centers such as Kano.

Residents of Kano, a city of an estimated 4 million people, said they only wished for normalcy to come back to the region.

“We have no other place to go than Kano,” said a Christian community leader, Tobias Michael Idika, who has lived most of his life although he is originally from the country’s south. “Government should stop this violence,” Idika said.
