DC: White Supremacist/Nazi Von Brunn Denied Release, Smiles at Mention of “Killing as Many As Possible”

AP reports:
— “An 89-year-old white supremacist charged with killing a security guard at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum was ordered to remain in jail Wednesday after prosecutors said the frail man was still dangerous because he had ‘no true friends’ and ‘nothing to lose.'”
— “A judge also ordered James von Brunn to undergo a competency evaluation despite objections from the wheelchair-bound suspect. He was otherwise nonchalant and even smiled when a prosecutor said he wanted to kill as many people as possible in the June 10 attack.”
— “In asking that von Brunn not be released, prosecutor Nicole Waid said von Brunn’s actions were clear on videotape.”
— “‘This isn’t a case of whodunit, your honor,’ Waid said.”
— “She said that though von Brunn may appear frail, he is still a danger because he ‘has no true friends’ and ‘nothing to lose.'”
— “Waid said that von Brunn arranged his finances and funeral plans before his ‘suicide mission’ at the museum, and that he wanted to kill as many people as possible.”
— “He shook his head when Waid recounted how he had once tried to kidnap members of the Federal Reserve board. He was caught outside a board meeting carrying a bag stuffed with weapons. He describes his attempt with apparent pride on his Web site. He was sentenced in 1983 to more than four years in prison for attempted armed kidnapping and other charges in his Fed assault. He was released in 1989.”
— “Von Brunn was indicted in July on charges including first-degree murder for the death of museum guard Stephen T. Johns, who was black. Four of the charges carry a possible death penalty if he’s convicted.”
— “Public records show that in 2004 and 2005 he lived briefly in Hayden Lake, Idaho, which for years was home to the Aryan Nations, a racist group run by neo-Nazi Richard Butler. He had a racist, anti-Semitic Web site and wrote a book titled ‘Kill the Best Gentiles,’ alleging a Jewish conspiracy ‘to destroy the white gene pool.’ He also claimed the Holocaust was a hoax.”

Hamas “Spiritual Leader” calls Holocaust “a lie”

AP reports:
— “Hamas spiritual leader Younis al-Astal lashed out after hearing that the U.N. Relief and Works Agency, the main U.N. body aiding Palestinian refugees, planned to introduce lessons about the Holocaust to Gaza students.”
— “Adding the Holocaust to the curriculum would amount to ‘marketing a lie and spreading it,’ al-Astal wrote in a statement.:”
— “‘I do not exaggerate when I say this issue is a war crime, because of how it serves the Zionist colonizers and deals with their hypocrisy and lies,’ he wrote.”
— “Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri also objected to including what he referred to as the ‘so-called Holocaust’ in the lesson plan. ‘We think it’s more important to teach Palestinians the crimes of the Israeli occupation,’ he said.”

— “Va. man charged in Norfolk synagogue vandalism”
— Virginian-Pilot reports “Police on Monday announced the arrest of a man charged with vandalizing several synagogues in April with anti-Semitic, anti-gay and racist messages.”
— “John Edward Grogan, 29, of the 200 block of Elizabeth Ave. in Waynesboro, was arrested there July 9, said police spokeswoman Karen Parker-Chesson. She said investigators at first did not want to compromise the investigation by releasing Grogan’s name when others involved remained at large. Investigators now hope to generate new information and leads, she said. The synagogues affected were notified of the arrest, Parker-Chesson said.”
— “Worshippers at Temple Israel on Granby Street arrived to find anti-Semitic stickers on windowpanes and the side of the building on April 18. Police said at least five locations in Ghent and on Granby Street were vandalized but declined to name them. The suspects were caught on videotape, which was released to the media.”

East London Advertiser: Fury at East London mosque inviting Mecca imam

al-Sudais sermon in Mecca:
“Yesterday’s Jews are evil predecessors and today’s Jews are worse successors…They are…the worst of mankind. Allaah cursed them and cast His wrath upon them. He turned some of them to monkeys and pigs and worshippers of creatures… History of Jews is full of deception, trickery, rebellion, oppression, evil and corruption. They always seek to cause mischief on the earth and Allaah loves not the mischief-makers…They always think of betrayal and trick; and injustice and aggression run in their veins. They want only corruption and harming others.”

Daily Telegraph reports: “In Mecca two years ago, al Sudais described Jews as ‘scum of the earth,’ ‘rats of the world’ and ‘monkeys and pigs who should be annihilated'”

— BBC reports: “Sheikh Abdur-Rahman Al-Sudais, Imam, Ka’ba, Mecca, Saudi Arabia: The history of Islam is the best testament to how different communities can live together in peace and harmony. Muslims must exemplify the true image of Islam in their interaction with other communities.”

Sheikh Abdur-Rahman Al-Sudais: The worst … of the enemies of Islam are those… whom he… made monkeys and pigs, the aggressive Jews and oppressive Zionists and those that follow them: the callers of the trinity and the cross worshippers… those influenced by the rottenness of their ideas, and the poison of their cultures the followers of secularism… How can we talk sweetly when the Hindus and the idol worshippers indulge in their overwhelming hatred against our brothers… in Muslim Kashmir…”
— “John Ware: The East London mosque received $1m from the Saudis towards their new centre. The mosque’s links to Saudi go back many years.”

Canada: “Neo-Nazi hate, courtesy of the CHRC” – Canadian Human Rights Commission

Canada: “Neo-Nazi hate, courtesy of the CHRC” – Canadian Human Rights Commission
— National Post’s Ezra Levant reports: “In her July 11 letter to the National Post, Lynch denies that CHRC staff hacked into the Internet account of a private citizen to cover their tracks as they logged into their memberships in neo-Nazi websites. Lynch says both the Privacy Commissioner and the RCMP ‘found no evidence to support this allegation.'”
— Levant states: “But that’s not true. The Privacy Commissioner’s staff did not investigate the hacking — that is not within their jurisdiction.”
— Levant states: “In fact, CHRC employees have been active members of neo-Nazi organizations for years, and have published countless anti-Semitic, anti-gay and anti-black comments online. CHRC employees have admitted to this under oath. On the same day Monfette testified about the hacking, CHRC investigator Dean Steacy testified there were no guidelines about what CHRC staff could do using their online Nazi memberships.”
— Levant states: “Steacy, for example, used his Nazi membership to write encouraging words to a racist group called B. C. White Pride. He praised them, told them their racist posters were ‘great’ and promised to distribute their literature. Your tax dollars at work.”
— Levant states: “Other CHRC investigators went further. One praised Nazi leaders ( ‘I still say [Adrien] Arcand is our man!’); called for Canadian police to discriminate against blacks ( ‘exactly when will white cops understand that they should stand by THEIR race?!’); and trashed a Jewish youth group ( ‘if people spent the time building fellow WNs [White Nationalists] up rather than tearing them down we’d be dangerous. Unless your goal is to tear people down in which case go join Hillel or something.’)”
