UN Workers Convicted of Starting Jihad Riots in Burma

From the Irrawaddy:

RANGOON—A court in Burma has sentenced two United Nations staff members to prison terms for their alleged involvement in a spate of bloody communal violence in the west of the country in June, the world body said Monday.

The punishments were handed down Friday in the Arakan (Rakhine) State town of Maungdaw, said Aye Win, a UN spokesman based in Burma. One of those sentenced was an employee of the UN refugee agency and the other the UN World Food Program.

The Burmese Weekly Eleven journal reported that the staffers—all believed to be from the local Muslim community—were charged with various crimes, including promoting hatred between Buddhists and Muslims and participation in arson attacks. The paper cited anonymous court sources in its report, and said the sentences ranged from two to six years.

Violence between Arakanese Buddhists and Rohingya Muslims exploded in June, leaving more 80 people dead and thousands of homes burned to the ground. Human rights groups say around 100,000 people were displaced during the conflict. They have accused the government over cracking down too harshly on Muslims, allegations the government has denied.

Doctors Without Borders and other aid groups also were employing Jihadists. Nice work Liberals!

West Nile Virus Cases Up 40% in One Week in NY

From MyFoxNY:

U.S. health officials say West Nile virus cases are up 40 percent since last week and are on pace to rival the record years of 2002 and 2003.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has confirmed 1,590 cases of the mosquito-borne disease and 66 deaths so far this year. Half of the cases are in Texas.

Health officials think cases have peaked or are peaking now but likely will continue through October.

The disease first appeared in the United States in 1999, and health officials say this summer’s hot, dry weather may have contributed to the current boom.

To reduce mosquito activity and the risk of West Nile virus, the New York City Health Department has announced it will spray pesticide from trucks in parts of Manhattan on Friday, August 31, between the hours of 1:00 a.m. and 6 a.m., weather permitting.

West Nile has been spreading very quickly this year.

Godfather of the 9/11 “Truth” Movement Kevin Barrett Calling for Violence Against Americans

A little known fact about Barrett is that he’s an Islamic convert who was defending Al-Qaeda in the 1990s. He’s now supporting Jihadists in Asia who are committing atrocities against Buddhist and other religions.

By the way Barrett is such a douchebag that there’s a sub-group of the 9/11 “truth” movement that thinks his conversion to Islam is all part of some grand conspiracy – because a real Muslim would never be an anti-Semitic, anti-American scumbag.
