In Ferguson, Missouri, over the past several days, the protests in response to reported police brutality in the death of Michael Brown has swelled. Michael Brown was shot by a police officer on August 9, reportedly due to failure to not walk in the street. His body was left in the street for hours.

By the next day, Sunday, August 10, the area police had assembled 150 officers in riot gear. The show of military type force had the opposite affect on protesters, rather than restoring calm, it instead promoted violence, including police violence, people confronting police, looting and vandalism. This led to more riots on the night of August 10.

On Monday, August 11, policed fired tear gas and rubber bullets outside a burned convenience store which had been set on fire on August 10. The police also fired gas and rounds on protesters, including state Senator Maria Chappelle-Nadal.
Additional protests have taken place this week, with protesters carrying signs and many held their hands in the air while shouting “don’t shoot!”
This included another violent clash on the night of Wednesday, August 13, where police also arrested news journalists. CNN reported one police officer calling protesters “f**king animals” during his “enforcement” of the law. Also arrested on Wednesday August 13, was St. Louis alderman Antonio French, who was protesting with the group.

The militarization of the police is a troubling issue, and the American people must ask our police what law are they enforcing, if the authority we grant our police violates our Constitution and our universal human rights.

A video of Al Qaeda American terrorist Moner Mohammad Abusalha aka “Abu Huraya al-Amriki” shows him ripping and burning his passport, and stating “You think you’re safe where you are, in America or Britain… You think you are safe, you are not safe.” NBC reported that the terrorist stated in a video ranting in English against the West, warning that it is ‘going to the dirt’ and to prepare ‘to enter the hellfire of Allah.’ ‘We are coming for you,’ he tells the camera. ‘Mark my words.’ ”
A report on the case of American terrorist Moner Mohammad Abusalha aka “Abu Huraya al-Amriki” from Florida indicates that he was responsible for a suicide bombing against a Syrian government building. The terrorist was affiliated with Al-Qaeda backed group al-Nusrah Front.
NBC reported: “The officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, confirmed the suicide bombing and said they have identified the American. They declined to release his identity or hometown. Word of the American’s death in the suicide bombing first surfaced Tuesday in tweets from the al-Nusra Front, an al Qaeda-linked group fighting the government of Syrian President Bashar Assad.
The tweets identified the bomber only by his Arabic nom de guerre, “Abu Hurayra al-Amriki,” (Abu Hurayra the American) and said he carried out one of four suicide bombings of Syrian government sites in Jabal al-Arbaa’in in Idlib Province — the scene of heavy fighting in recent weeks and months. “Abu Hurayra Al-Amriki performed a martrydom operation in Idlib, Jabal Al-Arba’een. May Allah accept him,” it said. he tweet included an image of a young, bearded and smiling Caucasian man holding a cat, as well as images of the bombing it said he had carried out. (One U.S. official pointed out that “Abu Hurayra” translates from Arabic as “father of the kitten” or “of the kitten,” and was the name adopted by a cat-loving companion of Muhammad, the founder of Islam.) Another tweet, this one in Arabic, included a photo showing the same light-skinned man sitting on the ground wearing what appeared to be a suicide vest.” “The incident is believed to be the first suicide bombing by a U.S. citizen in the Syrian civil war. Three Americans were confirmed to have carried suicide attacks in Somalia on behalf of another al Qaeda linked group, al Shabab, between 2009 and 2011.” “Syrian rebel sources based in London tell NBC News that other jihadi tweets suggest the American was of Palestinian descent.”
In a Brooklyn courtroom, 23 year old woman Amina Ajmal told the court that her father had threatened to murder her in an “honor killing” plot, after spending six months in hiding, telling a federal jury, “he told me he would kill me.” She provided this testimony at the federal jury trial of her father, Brooklyn taxicab driver Mohammad Choudhry, on trial for murder conspiracy. The New York Post reported that, in Pakistan, Amina Ajmal’s father “forced her into a loveless arranged marriage and then allegedly gunned down her true love’s father and sister after she ran away.” She stated the murder threats continued in the United States of America, stating “He told me, ‘I will kill you if you do anything wrong now.'” The Post stated “Ajmal testified that she lived in Pakistan before moving to Flatbush with her father and four siblings in 1999 when she was 9. Her mother died when she was only 4.”
“Prosecutors said just days later Choudhry had the father and sister of Ajmal’s lover, Shujat Abbas, gunned down in their Pakistani village. Months earlier, Choudhry had forced his Brooklyn-raised daughter to marry her cousin, Abrar Ahmed Babar, so the man could get eventually get U.S. citizenship, prosecutors say. They wed in December 2012 but Ajmal fled the union just a month later with the help of Abbas and U.S. embassy officials. After going into hiding in America, federal agents arranged for her to call the incensed father. Defense lawyers say federal agents coached Ajmal, 23, to manipulate her father into making the threats which are now being used as evidence against him.”
On June 17, 2014, ISIS terrorist group recruit Michael Todd Wolfe aka “Faruqu”of Austin, Texas was arrested by the FBI at George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston, Texas. He planned to fly his family to Europe where he would meet an ISIS fixer who would take them all on to Syria. In Syria, he planned to join the ISIS terrorist organization to join in violence and killings. Unknown to the ISIS terrorist group recruit, his contact was an undercover FBI agent.
On June 27, 2014, CNN reported that Michael Todd Wolfe plead guilty to “attempting to provide material support and resources to a foreign terrorist organization.”
On June 5, 2014, Michael Todd Wolfe was sentenced to 82 years in prison. The FBI press release stated: “Michael Todd Wolfe aka Faruq, 24, of Austin, Texas, was sentenced this afternoon by U.S. District Court Judge Sam Sparks of the Western District of Texas to serve 82 months in federal prison for attempting to provide material support to a designated foreign terrorist organization, announced Assistant Attorney General for National Security John Carlin, Acting U.S. Attorney Richard L. Durbin Jr. for the Western District of Texas and Special Agent in Charge Christopher Combs of the FBI’s San Antonio Division.”
“In a plea last year, he admitted that he obtained a passport, went through physical training and practiced military maneuvers to prepare to engage in violent jihad, investigators said. Federal court records show Wolfe had been communicating with an undercover investigator who told Wolfe he had helped people wanting to travel for jihad in Somalia and Syria. From August 2013 until this month, Wolfe had worked on preparing for the trip. He obtained birth certificates for himself, his wife and two children. He asked an undercover agent for a pair of durable glasses with a head strap that would hold up on the battlefield, and he was running, doing Cross-Fit exercises and practicing martial arts, investigators said. In early August, his wife told an undercover agent that her husband had said his heart yearned to join his Muslim brothers, that he was ready to die for his religion, that ‘he was ready to die for someone; for something,’ according to a criminal complaint. His plan was for him and his family to travel under the false pretext of going to a concert in Europe, and he bought airline tickets so that he could meet an FBI employee, whom he thought would facilitate his trip to Syria through Turkey, the complaint states. He was arrested June 17 at George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston, where he had been attempting to board a plane to Toronto, according to the complaint. His itinerary indicated that he intended to travel through Iceland, arriving in Copenhagen, Denmark, the next day. From there, investigators said, he planned to make his way to Syria.”

Attacks in Nigeria are being reported that 50 churches have been burned and 500 Christians killed by the global terrorist organization Boko Haram.
The New Telegraph reports on these attacks:
“Diocesan Secretary, Catholic Diocese of Maiduguri, Rev. Father John Bakeni Bogna, disclosed this yesterday at a press conference in Maiduguri. Also speaking, Director, Catholic Diocese of Maiduguri, Rev. Fr. Gideon Obasogie, said more than 500 of their members have been killed, while more than 50 churches were burnt.

On April 13, 2014, a Nazi / Confederate white supremacist terrorist killed three Christians in Kansas City suburb of Overland Park, Kansas, including a 14 year old boy, Reat Griffin Underwood, his grandfather Dr. William Lewis Corporon, and another woman Terri LeManno. The terrorist attack was made against the Jewish Community Center (JCC) and area retirement community in Overland Park.
Victims of Nazi Terrorist Attack: 14 Year-Old Reat Griffin Underwood, his grandfather Dr. William Lewis Corporon, and another woman Terri LeManno
Shootings occurred both outside the Jewish Community Center and outside a retirement home, Village Shalom, nearby, both located in Overland Park, Kansas. The victims of the Jewish Community Center shooting were identified as Dr. William Lewis Corporon and his grandson, 14-year-old Reat Griffin Underwood. Both were United Methodist Christians. A 53-year-old woman, Terri LaManno, of Kansas City was killed at the parking lot of Village Shalom, where her mother resides. LaManno was also a Christian who attended St. Peter’s Catholic Church in Kansas City, Missouri. Several others had been shot at, including one person who was Jewish, but escaped without wounds. Miller was found later outside an elementary school nearby and was immediately declared a suspect. Authorities told reporters that Miller had shouted “Heil Hitler” numerous times during shooting and arrest.
Dr. William Lewis Corporon and Reat Griffin Underwood Murdered in Nazi Terrorist Attack
The terrorist murdered a 14-year old boy Reat Griffin Underwood and his grandfather Dr. William Lewis Corporon in the parking lot in front of the Overland Park JCC. They were shot in the center’s parking lot in the truck his grandfather was driving. CNN reported that “the 14-year-old high school freshman was dressed up in a coat, tie and hat on Sunday — ready to belt out songs for an audition that he hoped would win him a scholarship. Tryouts for KC Superstar, an “American Idol”-style contest for the best high school singer in the Kansas City area, brought him to the Jewish Community Center.” This boy’s only goal was to sing, but the terrorist silenced his voice forever. You can watch as this child sang the Star Spangled Banner of America, singing of the “Home of the Brave.”

The Nazi Terrorist, Frazier Glenn Cross, also known as Frazier Glenn Miller, from Springfield, Missouri was a former leader in the Ku Klux Klan. Miller’s introduction to white racialist politics was a copy of The Thunderbolt, published by Dr. Edward Fields of the National States’ Rights Party, and given to him by his father. Miller was present as a member the National Socialist Party of America during the Greensboro massacre on November 3, 1979.
Nazi / Confederate White Supremacist Terrorist Frazier Glenn Miller aka Frazier Glenn Cross, Jr.
SPLC provides this update on his criminal background: “Frazier Glenn Miller, also known as Frazier Glenn Cross, is the former “grand dragon” of the Carolina Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, which he founded and ran in the 1980s before being sued by the Southern Poverty Law Center for operating an illegal paramilitary organization and using intimidation tactics against African Americans. After subsequently forming another Klan group, the White Patriot Party, he was found in criminal contempt and sentenced to six months in prison for violating the court settlement. He went underground while his conviction was under appeal but was caught by the FBI with a weapons cache in Missouri. He served three years in federal prison after being indicted on weapons charges and for plotting robberies and the assassination of SPLC founder Morris Dees. As part of a plea bargain, testified against other Klan leaders in a 1988 sedition trial. On April 13, 2014, Miller was arrested in the shooting deaths of three people at a Jewish community center and nearby retirement community in Overland Park, Kansas. In 1986, Miller was convicted on a federal contempt of court charge after violating the terms of a consent order that settled a lawsuit filed against him and his Klan group by the Southern Poverty Law Center. He was sentenced to a year in prison, with six months suspended. However, he disappeared while out on bond awaiting an appeal and was later caught in Missouri along with four other Klansmen and a cache of weapons. In 1987, he pleaded guilty to a weapons charge and to mailing a threat through the mail. He had been indicted along with four other white supremacists for conspiring to acquire stolen military weapons, and for planning robberies and the assassination of SPLC founder Morris Dees. In an agreement with federal prosecutors, he received a five-year prison sentence in exchange for his testimony against 14 white supremacist leaders in a sedition trial. He served three years of that sentence.”
ADDITIONAL SPLC UPDATE AND LINKS TO NAZI AND WHITE SUPREMACIST NETWORKS
Frazier Glenn Miller, 73, of Aurora, Mo., was arrested today for the murder of three people at two separate Jewish Community Centers in Overland Park, Kan. Miller, who was arrested using the alias Frazier Glenn Cross, has been in the movement nearly his entire life. Miller is the former “grand dragon” of the Carolina Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, which he founded and ran in the 1980s before being sued by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) for operating an illegal paramilitary organization and using intimidation tactics against African Americans.
After subsequently forming another Klan group, the White Patriot Party, he was found in criminal contempt and sentenced to six months in prison for violating the court settlement. He went underground while his conviction was under appeal but was caught by the FBI with a weapons cache in Missouri. He served three years in federal prison after being indicted on weapons charges and for plotting robberies and the assassination of SPLC founder Morris Dees. As part of a plea bargain, Miller testified against other Klan leaders in a 1988 sedition trial.
Miller is a raging anti-Semite who has posted more than 12,000 times on Vanguard News Network (VNN), whose slogan is “No Jews, Just Right.” VNN founder Alex Linder has openly advocated “exterminating” Jews since December 2009. Miller, a close partner to Linder, has called Jews “swarthy, hairy, bow-legged, beady-eyed, parasitic midgets.” Miller is also one of VNN’s largest donors and he printed and distributed thousands of copies of VNN’s newsletter, The Aryan Alternative.
On October 17, 2014, the separate charge for first-degree murder was dismissed and all three deaths were included in a single capital murder count. Miller also is charged with three counts of attempted first-degree murder for allegedly shooting at three other people. On December 18, 2014, he was found competent to stand trial, and prosecutors announced they are seeking the death penalty against him. He is also facing a potential federal hate-crimes prosecution.
AUGUST 4, 2015 REPORT OF RECORDINGS
On August 4, 2015 , SPLC provided a report on recordings by the terrorist admitting to the murders.
Audio recordings posted to Vanguard News Network highlight Frazier Glenn Miller’s angry confession. Two audio files of phone calls taped in October 2014 between Frazier Glenn Miller and neo-Nazi National Alliance member Kevin Alfred Strom were posted to the hate forum Vanguard News Network. In the audio, posted yesterday, Miller claims to be afraid he will be gagged and barred from taking credit for the murder of three individuals during a shooting spree at Jewish Community Centers in Overland Park, Kan., on April 13, 2014. Miller is facing the death penalty for the shooting. Miller says unequivocally on the first recording, “I confess” to the shootings. “Why did I do it? Because my conscience compelled me to kill Jews…And I feel perfectly justified.” Miller speaks of having become “Jew-wise” in 1967 and wanting to kill Jews before he died. “My biggest fear is that I would die before I killed Jews,” he said. In the two phone calls, Miller explains that two weeks prior to the shootings he went to the emergency room ill with emphysema and that is “what spurred” him to engage in the shootings. He details his surveillance of the two Jewish centers and the actions he took the day of the shootings. The audio is graphic, describing the murders in detail as well as why Miller chose not to shoot one person who said she was not Jewish. Miller, who killed three people who were not Jewish, including a young boy and his grandfather, also says he has no regrets about those he murdered. He blames the victims for having been at a Jewish institution and being “accomplices of the Jews … they are our enemies.” Miller adds that if whites are going to help Jews or interact with Jews, “They are going to have to face the consequences.” He also states that after the killings he had “never felt such exhilaration. It was overpowering.” The recordings were posted to VNN by the site’s owner, Alex Linder, also a committed anti-Semite. An email to Linder asking why he chose to post the audio went unanswered. Miller’s phone calls were arranged by Will Williams, the head of the neo-Nazi National Alliance and a longtime Miller defender. On the recordings, Kevin Strom, who serves as Williams’ main propagandist and blogger, comforts Miller, saying “may the burdens be lifted from your soul even further.” Strom also expresses some concern that the calls may violate his parole status and asks Miller to communicate directly with Williams about disseminating his confession. Strom was convicted of possession of child pornography in 2008 and remains on parole. Here are the two audio recordings for those who would like to listen. Please be forewarned that they are quite disturbing. Recording 1Recording 2
A Johnson County judge issued a stern warning Wednesday to the man accused of killing three people last spring at the Jewish Community Center and Village Shalom. “The jury needs to be able to consider evidence and not be able to tainted by your theatrics or outbursts,” Judge Thomas Kelly Ryan told Frazier Glenn Cross Jr. “There is a time and place for you to make your statements – within reason.” Cross, an avowed anti-Semite, immediately asked the judge to clarify when he’d be able to speak freely. “When you are under oath and subject to cross examination,” Ryan replied. But, Cross wanted to know, would he be able to say “sieg heil” and make a Nazi salute to the jury? Doing so earlier had gotten Cross ejected from the courtroom for a long recess. No, Ryan said. “Can I say ‘sieg heil’ before the jury comes in?” Cross pressed. “No, not at any time in this courtroom,” Ryan replied. Ryan wasn’t the only one Cross clashed with Thursday. He also yelled at a deputy sheriff and the head of his legal team. Cross is representing himself, but three death penalty experts are ready to jump in if needed. That possibility seems increasingly likely, with Ryan warning Cross he’d be removed from the courtroom and forced to watch the proceedings on video if he couldn’t control himself. Also Wednesday, Ryan turned down a request for a change of venue and clarified jury selection procedures for the trial phase, set to begin Aug. 17. The man accused of killing three people last spring at the Jewish Community Center and Village Shalom continued his pattern of frequent outbursts in court Wednesday morning. It’s the final pre-trial conference for Frazier Glenn Cross Jr., an avowed anti-Semite who also uses the name Miller. Wheeled into the courtroom, he called, “sieg heil,” the salute of the Nazi party. Judge Thomas Kelly Ryan told Cross that type of behavior in front of a jury that could cause a mistrial. “It’s German for ‘hail victory,’” Cross insisted. “It’s ‘good morning.’ How is that derogatory?” “When you start arguing me when the jury is seated, you’ll cause a mistrial,” Ryan replied. “If that’s the case, it’ll go forward without you.” Cross again accused Ryan of being a Freemason and trying to curtail his freedom of speech. He began shouting that he earned his First Amendment rights while serving as a Green Beret in Vietnam. Ryan abruptly called for a recess. Jury selection will begin Aug. 17. More than 800 Johnson County residents are in the potential pool for a trial that could take up to six week
Responsible for Equality and Liberty has received a report of the human rights violations of two women in Lahore, Pakistan. International human rights sources have advised that Christian sisters, “Hina” and “Marina” from Lahore have gone into hiding, after attempts by extremist to kidnap them, to force marriage on them, and to forcefully convert them to deny their Christian religion.
The sources state that Hina and Marina are from Lahore city near the Nishter police station area. The reports state that Hina and Marina have been followed and harassed by extremists, including one individual with a “green turban.” The reports state that extremists have sought to abduct the two sisters, force the sisters into marriage, and to force the sisters to reject their Christian religion and convert them to Islam. The reports state that according to police sources, Mulan’a Abdul Attiq took his son and nephew Hafiz Nasir and Abid Attri to arrange a forced wedding to both Christian sisters. The forced wedding attempts have been rejected by the Christian sisters and their families.
As a result of the sisters rejecting such attempts at forced marriage and forced religious conversion, reports indicate that the Punjab police in Lahore have stated that those two sisters and family have committed blasphemy when Muslim clerics sought to talk about the wedding attempts. The report states that police have filed FIR (under Pakistan law 295-C) against the family.
In accordance with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Responsible for Equality And Liberty continues to support the universal human rights, religious liberty, and freedom for all people, including religious minorities oppressed in Pakistan. We urge the Pakistan authorities to drop any charges against minority Christians being oppressed, harassed, and threatened, including these two Christian sisters, who have reportedly been threatened by attempts at abduction, forced marriage, and forced religious conversion. Responsible for Equality And Liberty also calls for the Pakistan government to end the oppressive blasphemy law used to oppress and harass religious minorities and so many other individuals. Responsible for Equality And Liberty also calls upon on our colleagues in human rights organizations to share this story and call for human rights protection for these sisters.
BBC reports: “A court in the remote northern Pakistan region of Kohistan has sentenced a man to death for the murder of three brothers in a so-called honour killing. Five others were sentenced to life imprisonment. The killings took place early last year after a mobile phone video surfaced which showed a group of women and men dancing and chatting at a wedding. The men killed were brothers of the men in the video, and those convicted were relatives of the women. The women are also thought to have been killed. “
Pakistani government shows no sign of taking action over the Federal Shariah Court’s blasphemy law ruling – the Pakistan Christian Post reports that “Last month the Federal Shariah Court (FSC) of Pakistan ordered that the death penalty be the only punishment for a blasphemer, and that life imprisonment be removed as an option.” Report continued at Pakistan Christian Post.
Pakistan: once again Ahmadiyya Minority Muslims are being oppressed by religious extremists who reject their religious freedom rights. In this case, an elderly British Ahmadiyya Muslim man, Masud Ahmad, is being oppressed and was arrested using the broad and oppressive blasphemy laws, used by extremists to reject freedom and target individuals. Responsible for Equality And Liberty calls for the Pakistan courts to drop all charges against Masud Ahmad, and to end the oppressive use of blasphemy laws in Pakistan. See reports by the Daily Mail and by the Independent.
The Daily Mail reports: “An elderly British man faces up to three years in a Pakistani prison after he was tricked into reading the Koran in public. Masud Ahmad, 72, belongs to the minority Ahmadiyya sect, who under Pakistani law are banned from calling themselves Muslim, with Amnesty International saying he was deliberately tricked into reading the holy book in Lahore by figures linked to a right-wing religious group… it is believed Mr Ahmad was secretly filmed reading from the Koran in November last year by two men posing as patients at the homeopathy clinic he ran in Lahore. Amnesty International say he was maliciously targeted because of his religion. Every year dozens of Ahmadi Muslims are charged with breaching Pakistan’s strict blasphemy laws simply for practicing Islam, while they and other minority groups are also at risk of sectarian violence. Speaking to The Independent, Mr Ahmad’s son Abbas, 39, said: ‘We are concerned he will never see his nine grandchildren but we are concerned with his life. We know what happens [in] these sort of cases.’ Abbas Ahmad said his father had been released on bail ahead of a trial and is currently in secure accommodation.”
