If you're not familiar with the endless persecution of non-Muslims in places like

Pakistan, and Egypt, and Iraq, either you've spent the past few decades living in a snow

fort in Antarctica, or you're a radical leftist screwball who's so busy admiring

your own virtue in the mirror that you just can't find the time to pay any attention

to people who are actually suffering.

Let's take a quick look at Islamic terror in the news over the past week.

Mali:

A branch of Al Qaeda in northwestern Africa claimed responsibility for an attack on a

United Nations base in Mali that killed 10 Chadian peacekeepers on Sunday, saying it

was in response to Chad's resumption of diplomatic relations with Israel.

In a statement, the United Nations mission in Mali said that a peacekeeping base had

come under attack in the northeastern village of Aguelhok.

The village is in one of the most troubled regions of the country, which has repeatedly

been in the cross hairs of a jihadist insurgency.

Al Qaeda jihadis attack UN peacekeepers because a country has diplomatic relations with Israel.

Welcome to Islam's moral compass, where the needle always points to terrorism.

Pakistan:

There are nearly 200 cases of Christians in Pakistan charged with blasphemy - the controversial

law made famous by Asia Bibi.

Father James Channon, director of the Peace Center in Lahore, which promotes inter-faith

relations, said research by the Catholic Church has revealed 187 live cases of Christians

charged with blasphemy which in Pakistan can carry sentences of life imprisonment or death.

Added to this figure is the case of Asia Bibi, whose death penalty conviction for blasphemy

was overturned last October by Pakistan's Supreme Court, a decision which created headlines

around the world.

Speaking in an interview with Aid to the Church in Need, Father Channon said: "Even now, after

her acquittal, she is anything but safe.

Radical Islamists are trying to find her so they can kill her.

That is why she is currently under state protection."

In Pakistan, if you criticize Sharia, you'll be charged with blasphemy and sentenced to death.

In the West, if you criticize Sharia, you'll be accused of racism and sentenced to ridicule.

Seems like Islam always finds a way to avoid criticism.

Nigeria:

A Christian denomination based mostly in the Northeast, the Church of the Brethren in Nigeria,

otherwise known in Hausa language as Ekklesiyar Yan'uwa A Nigeria (EYN), has appealed to

the federal government to rebuild its church branches razed by Boko Haram insurgents.

The EYN says Boko Haram has destroyed a total of 1,125 of its church buildings and other

structures over the years of insurgency.

These include its headquarters office complex, which has been rebuilt, a church auditorium

which is yet to be fully reconstructed, and an adjacent pastor's residential quarters

where reconstructions work is yet to start.

Never forget, if you smirk while someone beats a drum in your face, you're a despicable

monster who deserves violence.

But if you burn down more than a thousand churches, you're a misunderstood victim

whose ideology is beyond criticism.

The Philippines:

The southern Philippines city of Jolo is on lockdown after a deadly double bombing Sunday,

as the authorities try to ensure security and investigate the attack that killed at least 20.

The bombing—which was claimed by ISIS—has raised fears of an increase in separatist

violence in the country's restive Mindanao region, following a referendum last week in

which an overwhelming majority of voters backed self-rule.

Bombs exploded at the Jolo Catholic Cathedral during Sunday mass, officials said, killing

20 and injuring at least 81 people, including 14 soldiers and two police officers.

The first device went off inside the cathedral and the second targeted nearby soldiers who

rushed to help the victims of the first explosion, a military spokesman said.

So, if you don't like the way a referendum goes, you blow up a church.

More timeless wisdom from the religion of peace, tolerance, equality, and feminism.

The United States:

Three men from Lansing, Michigan, were arrested for allegedly supporting ISIS — with one

of them taken into custody as he prepared to fly to Somalia, authorities said Tuesday.

Muse Abdikadir Muse, 23, his brother Mohamud Abdikadir Muse, 20, and another relative,

26-year-old Mohamed Salat Haji, were all charged with conspiring to provide material support

to a terrorist organization, prosecutor said.

Agents arrested Muse Muse at Gerald R. Ford Airport in Grand Rapids on Monday, where he

was about to take a series of flights that would have eventually landed him in Mogadishu,

Somalia, according to a federal complaint.

Mohamud Muse and Haji were arrested hours later.

The three defendants had all "pledged allegiance to ISIS through videos they recorded themselves,"

according to a statement by the Department of Justice.

Think about this.

These young Muslims had their entire lives ahead of them.

They could have worked, and worshiped, and raised kids in the land of the free and the

home of the brave.

Instead, they were willing to risk everything to join ISIS.

Why?

Well, as long as we ignore everything that Muhammad said and did, jihad will remain a

perpetual mystery.

Muslims in Nigeria, and Mali, and Pakistan, and the Philippines, and the United States

conclude that they're supposed to terrorize unbelievers because they've all coincidentally

misunderstood their religion in exactly the same way.

Of course, I should point out that there's really no difference, practically speaking,

between, on the one hand, a religion that actually calls for the violent subjugation

of the entire world, and, on the other hand, a religion whose followers misunderstand it

so much that they go out and try to violently subjugate the entire world.

Either way, you, and your family, and your friends, and your civilization, are targeted

for terror.

If you're satisfied with everyone you know being targeted for terror, by all means, pay

no attention to the words of Allah and Muhammad.

But if you'd like to be part of the resistance, click that subscribe button and the bell to

receive notifications, and don't leave without watching a video that explains what Islam's

most trusted sources say about terrorizing unbelievers.

In the comments section, let me know about any recent examples of Islamic terror that I missed.

Illegal bets still rule Super Bowl — even as more states offer regulated action - Duration: 17:42.

CLOSE SportsPulse: From Atlanta, Trysta Krick tells you everything you need to know as Super Bowl week begins

USA TODAY CONNECTTWEETLINKEDINCOMMENTEMAILMOREEven though there are seven more states to allow legal betting on the Super Bowl than a year ago, an overwhelming amount of bets for Sunday's game — about 95 percent — will continue to be made with bookies, offshore sportsbooks or acquaintances

 The percentage of legal bets (5.3 percent) was calculated by USA TODAY Sports from a survey released Monday by the American Gaming Association ($6 billion in total bets for Super Bowl LIII) and an estimate of the total legal wagers on the NFL title game supplied by sports gambling network VSiN ($320 million)

 The AGA estimated ahead of last year's Super Bowl that 3 percent of bets placed on the game were legal, although the casino industry lobbying group did not provide a projection this year

 "I am not sure when the tipping point will be," Bill Miller, AGA's president and CEO, told USA TODAY Sports

"As the general public becomes more aware of the opportunity to do it in a regulated and safe manner, it will move that way

A lot has to happen and the pricing has to be right. Some of the offshore operators are still offering attractive pricing that will keep customers engaged

If the states over-tax (bettors), it will be hard to kill the offshore business."An estimated 22

7 million adults plan to bet on the Super Bowl according to the AGA. The survey conducted by Morning Consult on Jan

22 included 2,201 adults, who were interviewed online. The survey had a margin of error of 2 percent

 Respondents preferred bets on the Los Angeles Rams (52 percent) to the New England Patriots (48 percent)

 VSiN's legal betting estimation for Super Bowl LIII is actually double the money bet legally a year ago when Nevada was the only state with state-sanctioned sports betting

The projection is not just fueled by Delaware, Mississippi, New Jersey, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and West Virginia accepting bets

 The NFL has sought to ban prop bets, something that has grown in both quantity and popularity over the last couple decades when it comes to the Super Bowl

William Hill, for example, has more than 900 different ways to bet on the Super Bowl, including whether the Rams and Patriots would each net a field goal of 35 or more yards and whether Rams running back Todd Gurley would gain at least 3

5 yards in his first carry. NFL executive vice president Jocelyn Moore told a Congressional committee in September that such bets "are significantly more susceptible to match-fixing

""I can't speak for their motivations," Asher said. "We've been doing these types of bets in Nevada for decades

The idea of the NFL telling us what bets we can and can't offer is crazy."No U.S

sportsbook will offer the obscure bets of some offshore sports books, such as how long the national anthem will go

The states, so far, are taking Nevada's lead, where the state gaming commission only approves bets that are determined on the field of play

 The number of states that will take such bets is expected to swell ahead of the next Super Bowl

C.) authorize it . and another 14 that have introduced bills or begun the process to move forward legislation in their states," Miller said, "My anticipation is that we will see well into the mid-teens, if not 20 states with sports betting, in 2020

United States files criminal charges against Chinas Huawei - Duration: 2:45.

United States files criminal charges against Chinas Huawei

The Justice Department on Monday unveiled two sets of charges against Huawei. One set accuses Huawei of trying to steal trade secrets from T Mobile . Another claims the company worked to skirt US sanctions on Iran.

The agency also revealed formal charges against Meng Wanzhou, Huaweis chief financial officer. Meng was arrested in Canada in December, and the United States is looking to extradite her.

"Today we are announcing that we are bringing criminal charges against telecommunications giant Huawei and its associates for nearly two dozen alleged crimes," Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker said in a statement. "China must hold its citizens and Chinese companies accountable for complying with the law."

FBI Director Christopher Wray said at a press conference that Huawei "relied on dishonest business practices that contradict the economic principles that have allowed American companies and the United States to thrive."

"The prosperity that drives our economic security is inherently linked to our national security," Wray said. "And the immense influence that the Chinese government holds over Chinese corporations like Huawei represents a threat to both."

A 10 count indictment, which was filed in Washington state, claims that Huawei worked for years to steal T Mobiles proprietary phone testing technology, known as "Tappy."

Huawei also obstructed justice when the Washington based telecom company threatened to sue it, according to court documents.

The government also unsealed a 13 count indictment against Huawei and Meng in Brooklyn federal court. That document details an alleged scheme by Huawei to deceive financial institutions and the US government about its business in Iran.

The company and Meng are said to have claimed that an affiliate, Skycom, was a separate company in order to conduct business in the country, when in fact it was a subsidiary.

The charges from the United States increase pressure on Huawei, one of Chinas tech champions and a crucial part of the countrys efforts to dominate the rollout of superfast 5G wireless networks.

The United States has said for years that Huawei devices pose a national security threat. But government efforts to rein in alleged abuses by the company have escalated in recent months.

Mengs arrest in December set off a geopolitical firestorm and has strained relations between the US, Canada and China. China has repeatedly called the detention of Meng, who was , a political move.

But the United States on Monday reiterated its intention to move forward with the extradition process. Meng is due back in court again in Canada on February 6.

Congress is also considering legislation that would ban the sale of US parts to any Chinese telecom firm that has violated US export control laws or sanctions, a measure that expressly targets Huawei.

"It has been clear for some time that Huawei poses a threat to our national security, and I applaud the Trump administration for taking steps to finally hold the company accountable," Senator Mark Warner, a Democrat, said in a statement Monday.

Importantly, the charges come as the United States and China are racing to cut a deal on trade before March 1, when US tariffs on dollar 200 billion in Chinese goods will otherwise rise to 25 percent from 10 percent . Vice Premier Liu He is scheduled to travel to the United States for two days of talks starting Wednesday.

Its not clear how Mondays announcement will factor into negotiations. President Donald Trump previously suggested that he may intervene in the Meng case if it would help reach a trade deal with China.

US NEWS | Rubio disputes that the United States would participate in a coup in Venezuela The Washi - Duration: 2:42.

US NEWS | Rubio disputes that the United States would participate in a coup in Venezuela The Washi

Sen. Marco Rubio R Fla. disputed on Sunday that the United States would participate in a coup to oust Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, saying he doesnt know of any U.S. leaders who are calling for one.

The remarks came four days after the Trump administration recognized Venezuelan National Assembly leader Juan Guaidó as interim president after Guaidó and his supporters asserted that last years election that kept Maduro in power was illegitimate. Many other U.S. allies followed suit, including Canada.

But the history of U.S. military involvement in Latin America, along with reports that the who wanted to plot a coup before rebuffing them, has raised questions about whether the White House would direct a military intervention. President Trump has said that all options are on the table, while defense officials have sought to tamp down .

Rubio, speaking on CNNs State of the Union, said the United States is simply supporting the democratic institutions in Venezuela, along with many other countries in the Western Hemisphere.

This is not the U.S., he said. This is Honduras. This is Guatemala. This is Canada, Brazil, Colombia, Argentina, et cetera, et cetera. This is not a U.S. sponsored anything. This is the U.S. supporting the people of Venezuela, who want their constitution and democracy followed. Thats a fact.

Rubio also has said all U.S. options should be on the table, but he qualified that Sunday.

The United States always retains the right — always, anywhere in the world in any instance — to protect its national security, he said. So Im not going to justify military intervention because I dont know whos calling for that. What I said is that everything is an option because we always have an option to defend our national security in cases where it is threatened.

Although the Trump administrations decisions on Venezuela this week have received support from some Democrats, others have called for Washington to take a more limited role.

The United States needs to stay out of Venezuela, Rep. Tulsi Gabbard D Hawaii said in a tweet Thursday. Let the Venezuelan people determine their future. We dont want other countries to choose our leaders — so we have to stop trying to choose theirs. Gabbard announced this month that she will run for president in 2020.

Rep. Ilhan Omar D Minn. said in tweets Friday that the United States should support the efforts of Mexico, Uruguay and the Vatican to facilitate peaceful dialogue in Venezuela and that a U.S. backed coup in Venezuela is not a solution to the dire issues they face.

We cannot hand pick leaders for other countries on behalf of multinational corporate interests, she said in one tweet. The legislature cannot seize power from the President, and Venezuelas Supreme Court has declared their actions unconstitutional.

Rubio, in a separate interview on NBCs Meet the Press on Sunday, said Trump has never needed any convincing on Venezuela and has raised the issue for discussion with the senator more than the other way around.

The preferred outcome, Rubio said, is that Maduro leaves office and that, within 30 to 45 days, Venezuela holds a presidential election.

On Saturday, that all U.S. diplomats leave his country, as Venezuelan and U.S. officials reached an agreement that gives them 30 days to finalize details on new interest offices that would have a more limited role. If no deal is reached by then, diplomats from both countries would have to go home.
